  1. And by contrast, some of the Southport "rioters" (aka entirely justified demonstrators) have been convicted and served half their sentences by now.

  2. Part of me thinks that even writing the letter to them in the first place was ill advised. Every time you engage with them in any way, it raises the risk of further harassment.

  3. It costs £50k per year to accommodate an "asylum seeker" and they can't give pensioners 200 quid. They are beneath contempt.

  4. Doesn't this set an absurd precedent? I can legally cause damage to property because I "believe" it is in protest of or trying to prevent something that I "believe" is dangerous or wrong?

  5. I may be wrong but the "far right" protests featured zero stabbings. I'm happy to be corrected.

  6. Even in 1984 the population of Britain was still British

  7. I really think that's what's on their mind here. They are thinking of the implications of making him a martyr.

  8. I'm ready to vote for gunboats in the English Channel at this point.

  9. @jonb3311 What's that got to do with it? Regardless if this happened to Joe Shmoe the unemployed guy down the road it should be a scandal

  10. The night I signed it, the petition was gaining 2000 per minute.

  11. I think part of it was not representing himself. He received hundreds of thousands of pounds in contributions from his audience, so why he didn't hire a lawyer to represent him is beyond me.

  12.  @G_C340  No doubt I can find many former politicians whose policies you agree with that I can say the exact same about. All of them take pensions and lucrative advisory positions after their careers in Westminster or the EU. The taxpayer "picks up the tab" to pay each one of them - it's kind of how this thing works.

  13. @wjf0ne He who is sovereign makes the exceptions.

  14. Yeah it seems obvious to me if they are on the crossing then you have to stop.

  15. Going to war illegally against another country is one thing... going to war against your own population is another matter.

  16.  @robertreynolds580  Their line though is that they have a massive backlog. What the data actually means is that 53% have been accepted and 47% pending acceptance.

  17.  @HoratioChinn  Well there's pedophiles and there's pedophiles... Some sicko caught with sexual images of kids on his computer will be branded as such, but arguably won't have caused such intentional and prolonged distress to multiple victims. Of course a pedo who has acted on his urges and attacked a child will obviously get a much higher sentence, but when you read the story "Pedo walks free" it will be one of the former examples.

  18. It won't though. He'll be out in a year and the judge of course knows this.

  19. Yes, the more discerning jihadi about town carries a scimitar rather than a common knife.

  20. And deported.

  21.  @jonb3311  He was a Member of European Parliament.

  22. They did? I'm surprised Ahmed and his buddies aren't heading there instead of here.

  23. Great replacement has been a thing for decades.

  24.  @gruffy4967  Yes... I was talking about the book. I was alluding to the fact that even in 1984... the book... the population of the country is still British. Tacitly making the point that our situation in some ways is worse than Orwell presaged.

  25. @lionheart4552 Oh look, it's that guy who always takes time out of his busy day to comment how little he care.

  26. The death throws of a dying beast.

  27. Every letter you receive has a time cost for you reading it and being compelled to respond. As well as the stress and inconvenience caused. That could add up if you have a record of each one.

  28.  @willhaylock3769  Violent disorder, yes. Posting memes and handing out ice creams, no.

  29. No mate.... it was sustained and extremely malicious targeting of individuals over many years. Some of his victims came close to suicide. Iain Lee just put up a video from almost 10 years ago when Belfield used to call into his radio show. He's been stalking Iain for that whole time.

  30. Maybe they can give him a lift across the channel and out of our country. Well.... maybe half way across the channel.

  31. I mean really what we should say to the police is - Sure you can see inside my phone.... but you'll need to file a FOI request and wait 6 months. And then there's no guarantee that I may not have "lost" the data you want 🤣

  32.  @JohnBishopChannel  I must have missed something.... was it the Tories who took us into Iraq?

  33. I've been hearing for many years about people having accounts closed simply because they are not active enough.

  34. Believing in justice, law and order is right wing these days.

  35. Yeah it's all relative. My opinions haven't changed much since the 1990s, when I would have been a centrist. But the mainstream narrative has lurched radically leftward away from me. So I am... relatively... "far right".

  36. Me too. Not only that, I'm disgusted a well.

  37.  @lionheart4552  That as well. I share the OP's sentiment entirely.

  38.  @quemalcy  I disagree. I'm thinking of extreme scenarios, but a hundred thousand civilians with firearms are a lot harder to subjugate than the population over here in the UK, who in general are armed with little more than cricket bats.

  40.  @robertreynolds580  Oh well the appeals are to give the impression that they don't just rubber stamp all of them.

  41. @RiteSedFred123 If nobody filed a complaint then how did he end up in court?

  42. It's not that he can afford it. It's that he doesn't realise how this looks. Sponging tens of £thousands from donors while penny pinching 200 quid from pensioners. And we're supposed to trust he has the interest of the people at heart.

  43.  @mercedesblack7828  Yes I have already pointed that out.

  44.  @peteratkin3788  Manchester Evening News yesterday reported that "two officers are under criminal investigation" and "four men remain on police bail". Bail in the UK means you are released from custody and able to go home pending a court appearance.

  45. @raymonddixon7603 Since they are a "private" bank (owned by Natwest), can I get an assurance that my taxes won't be used to bail them out if they fail?

  46.  @MarkPayne-ss6yu  Even that's not quite right. State pensions are not entirely funded by current workers, nor is any of the infrastructure, welfare or emergency services we enjoy; tax revenue is nowhere near enough to cover it. In truth, the money is all borrowed and the repayment is passed on to our children and grandchildren, facilitated by the mechanism of currency debasement (otherwise known as inflation).

  47.  @sameagain6524  You should watch his trial reaction video. He is a blubbering wreck when he hears the verdict.

  48.  @taras6806  Yawn. 2010 called and they want their arguments back.

  49. @simonevans8979 You are free to not care as we are free to not care when it happens to you. Except that will will care because we understand the wider implications of this.

  50.  @stephengraham1153  No, Steve, I'm not serious. People on the internet are not always serious. That's a little free advice, just for you.
