- Comment on Revealed: The internal police guidance on chanting ‘death to the IDF’ 2 weeks ago:
A rare outbreak of common sense.
It does worry me that “Zionism” could be considered a protected belief though. Surprised they didn’t go that route. I guess they didn’t want to risk a court ruling on if Zionism “conflicts with the fundamental rights of others”.
It confirmed that correspondence exists but refused to release any information, saying it would prejudice the department’s ability to offer “free and frank” advice in the future.

- Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 3 weeks ago:
It’s possible he was assassinated.
That’s always the problem with being in power, there’s almost certainly someone who wants to get rid of you, but the more paranoid you behave about it the number of people who want you gone increases.
- Comment on GB News faces complaints after commentator claims ‘genocide’ against white people in UK 3 weeks ago:

There’s paid maternity leave for the self employed in the UK, this is just sexism.
- Comment on High court claimant was fed answers through his smart glasses, judge finds 3 weeks ago:
Since he obeyed the judge’s orders it may have been difficult to prove contempt.
Courts also seem to take the view that a right to a fair trial includes the right to fuck up your own trial.
I imagine the solicitor coaching him via the glasses will be getting a lengthy complaint to the SRA, which could see him struck off.
