Remember the days when fining was standing up, banging on a wine glass (hopefully without smashing it), and screaming about some incoherent, “funny” indignity that your mate committed and that you promised you’d never tell anyone about?
Nowadays, the only fines we’re getting are hefty bills from college for breaking Covid regulations for socialising and isolation. Squeezing three people into your gyp was once a challenge, but it’s now a literal offence.
To be very clear, The Cambridge Tab endorses a strict observation of the rules in place at your college (we don’t want you getting fined after all!) It’s also worth saying that the intention of this list is not to name and shame our fellow students for breaking rules.

LONDON: A British-Pakistani lawyer is at the centre of the Broadsheet scandal that has exploded on Pakistani media scene after The News and Geo exclusively took off the lid from various key aspects of the case that has cost Pakistan over $65 million. This publication had revealed in May 2019 the name of Barrister Zafar Ali QC for the first time, stating that the British-Pakistani defence counsel had held meetings with Prime Minister Imran Khan, Shahzad Akbar, Asad Umar and various other top officials to discuss the possibility of a new deal to trace the alleged stolen assets of Pakistan.

High priority for the UK government right now? Statues, of course. A statement released by the Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick to both Houses of Parliament this week introduces new legislation which, it is claimed, will be as important in heritage terms as the introduction of Conservation Areas in 1967. The removal of ‘historic statues, plaques and other monuments will now require full planning permission’ under the mantra of ‘retain and explain’, regardless of whether they are already listed or not. Historic England will oversee what is proposed and the Secretary of State will be the final arbiter if requests from local councils are judged questionable.

NBBJ has won approval for a £200 million University of Oxford laboratory scheme to replace the now-demolished Leslie Martin-designed Tinbergen building
The 25,329m
2 proposed Life and Mind block is being billed as the ‘largest building project ever undertaken’ by the university. Once complete, it will house its departments of zoology, plant sciences and experimental psychology and provide space for 800 students and 1,200 researchers.

The building will also be home to a new institute for antimicrobial research, following a £100 million donation from chemicals giant Ineos.
The project will sit on the site of Leslie Martin’s recently flattened 1970s Tinbergen building, which is bounded by St Cross Road to the east, South Parks Road to the north and other university land to the south and west.
