Bounce Back

Rioters in France should call in their defence Lucy Connolly, and the Nigel Farage who had her as a party conference platform speaker.

Looters in France should call in their defence the suspended Labour MPs Bayo Alaba and Perran Moon, who tried to wind up their companies without having repaid their Bounce Back Loans.

Kashim Chowdhury should call in his defence James Orr, who was simultaneously the full time Head of Policy for the Short Money-funded Reform UK, and an Associate Professor in the directly publicly funded Faculty of Divinity of the University of Cambridge.

And Queers for Palestine, where male homsexual activity between consenting adults in private is fully legal in the West Bank even if punishable by 10 years' imprisonment in the Gaza Strip (though not by death, contrary to Internet falsehood), should call in their defence Wes Streeting, who has deployed RAF Typhoon fighter jets in the service of Saudi Arabia, where such acts do indeed incur capital punishment.
