The Times false headline:
“Nearly 100 arrests after pro-Palestinian protesters breach London jail”
There was no “breach”. They entered the public entrance through an open gate. A few entered the public lobby via an open door. Nobody was asked to leave.

Starmer plans to attack the only Jewish party leader over antisemitism.
He wants to attack Zack Polanski for challenging Britain's role as lapdog to Donald Trump.

People like this want people to quietly allow Trump to have them marched into camps. When does the fight back start?! When his goons have already killed everyone else?!
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

A list of my personal favourite Alan Clarke films/television plays. Apologies to Penda’s Fen fans everywhere but the fact that it didn’t quite make my top 10 only goes to show what a brilliant talent Clarke truly was.

Haha what a whiny headline - these babies are so weak and pathetic - as bullies so often are
“Back in the old days , if you couldn’t afford healthcare , your child died. And we just had to find another 6 year old to climb up our chimney. An inconvenience, but we had to put up with it”

This is absolutely terrifying and is removal of trial by jury by default.
BREAKING: COURT OF APPEAL ERODES INDEPENDENCE OF JURIES
The Court of Appeal has substantially eroded the independence of juries, a centuries-old democratic safeguard against the abuse of power, by ruling in favour of a judge who threatened a jury with criminal proceedings.
