Manchester Airport incident

"We're gonna have a British George Floyd now innit. The BLM mob are gonna be all over this. Expect a load of shoe shops to be looted as a ""protest"". This country's gone to the fucking dogs."

"The Civil Service, which supports both the judiciary and government is infested with left and far-left ""thinkers"" incapable of leaving their politics at their respective workplace entrances. Don't be surprised if the Chinese Walls in certain areas of that singular Civil Service are very, very thin, and the ""advice"" to the judiciary is to come down hard in favour of the government (Don't forget annual bonuses are up for review soon, son). Additionally, those identified as ""askers of difficult questions"" will experience previously non-existent ""issues"" in their dealings with services offered by and on behalf of the government. When challenged, these ""issues"" will be revealed as ""We're just following an established process which selected your account at random for verification checks"", or simply ""A glitch in the system following an update by an outside contractor"", none of which are actually illegal but regarded as a useful reminder of who has the power around here."

"Can we add Yves Bissouma to the fast track court hearings? The 27-year-old posted a video of himself on social media on Saturday which showed him inhaling from a balloon. Possession of nitrous oxide - also known as laughing gas or NOS - for recreational use has been a criminal offence in the United Kingdom since 2023 and can result in a two-year prison sentence. ""We are looking into the events,"" a Tottenham spokesperson said. ""This will be dealt with as an internal matter.""ù SURELY ITS AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Those being sentenced now have repeatedly expressed the position that they are only defending Britain from what they regard as an existential threat. They have probably done so in court as well. Any judge is therefore issued with a challenge to agree and serve the defendant's cause or disagree, making it clear it is the criminal justice system the judge represents in its criminal case against the defendant that has the task of defending Britain. Not him. Hence the harshness of the sentencing."

Yorkammer 4:43 Mon Aug 12 How sure would that be then? As sure that there is no evidence whatsoever of two-tier policing going on in the UK?

Yorkammer 4:21 Mon Aug 12 You're expecting a knock on your door? Unusually open and honest of you to share your concerns.

[Yorkammer]

Jaan Kenbrovin 4:37 Mon Aug 12 I'm sure Oxsaw will soon be telling us who did it

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Yorkammer 4:21 Mon Aug 12 Typical far leftie, applauding the curtailment of free speech and the imposition of kangaroo courts."

[Come On You Irons]

", 4:10 Mon Aug 12 Wrong. The judiciary is not fully independent of the executive. In fact, the highest legal ranking member of the executive (attorney general) sits in cabinet. We also have a Home Secretary and a Justice Minister who work hand in glove with the judiciary. And we also have a Prime Minister who was a human rights lawyer and former Director of Public Prosecutions. It is YOU who is gullible if you think the judiciary acts fully independent of government influence."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"An 11-year-old girl and 34-year-old woman have been stabbed in London's Leicester Square, the Metropolitan Police has said. In a post on X the Met said a man has been arrested and is in custody, adding the force does not believe there are ""any outstanding suspects"". The two victims were taken to hospital and their condition is currently unknown, the post continued. Police officers remain at the scene, which is in one of the busiest tourist districts in the capital."

[Mike Oxsaw]

", 4:10 Mon Aug 12 Was the Belfast judge applying any of the discretion he is afforded in his day job? Perhaps the same discretion he applied in similar cases in the past? People need to stop taking things out of context if they want an adult discussion on this. Given the timing and context I suspect someone has had a word in his ear about, maybe, who is expected to be included on the King's New Years' Honours List..."

[Yorkammer]

Bet there are some nervous far right posters on this site dreading a knock on the door. Perhaps we will be spared the site bore when he enjoys a few months accommodation at His Majesty's expense.

"COYI, you do realise that the judiciary and the executive are seperate entities and thus the Judge in Belfast applies the law as it exists. That being the case if you need to blame anyone it is the lawmakers of previous UK Parliaments. Shame on anyone too thick or gullible to know how the world works. By all means feel free to attack Starmer, or anyone else for that matter, but realise that your posts are read by the sentient as well as people of your ilk."

"Come On You Irons 3:05 Mon Aug 12 Re: Manchester Airport incident Fair point, and probably not very well-worded, but I'm sure you take the point ""ì if the draconian measures are applied equally, then it becomes a separate argument. And to be fair, he's only been in power for 30-odd days ""ì so he's set this bar for himself. There's little doubt that people will be watching very closely on how consistently its applied Sydney ""ì there is a difference there. They haven't pleaded guilty, so there's a process to go through."

"'Shame on the people who voted Labour on 4 July.' There weren't that many, apparently....."

"It's 100% up to the message sender, whoever it is, not it's receiver(s) to ensure that the correct message is received and if it gets corrupted to identify that corruption and modify their message so as to nulify the impact of that corruptive element, whatever it is, or wherever it lies in the communication chain. It's not the receivers/audience who are trying to get a message across. Oh, and as for that Belfast judge's position, it's not such a big step from being arrested & charged for happening to be in the wrong place when a riot breaks out to being arrested & charged for just watching reports of said riots on the 6 o'clock news, even if you just happened to come across them whilst flicking through the channels."

"""People can agree or disagree with the sentences - and the apparent lunacy of the Belfast judge's position - but as long as it's applied equally so everyone knows where they stand then there can't really be any complaints"" whilst i agree with that the British justice system is busy making a right pigs ear of itself! If Ricky Jones is getting remanded in custody, but the 2 lads who assaulted the Police at Manchester airport are out on bail then what the fuck does that say??? I thought getting remanded in custody was for those who would pose a high risk of re offending or a flight risk, All i reckon Jones would do if on bail is go home, close the curtains and cry into the latest copy of the Socialist worker magazine, but what of the 2 who thought it ok to assault the police? And have links to Pakistan so you would have thought a flight risk..... All Jones has done is give Starmer someone to sacrifice to try and show he is not 2 tier Keir!"

[Come On You Irons]

"""People can agree or disagree with the sentences - and the apparent lunacy of the Belfast judge's position - but as long as it's applied equally so everyone knows where they stand then there can't really be any complaints."" ___ I think we can have complaints. I think we can complain when a judge states that someone observing violence could be jailed just for being present at it. That is tyranny. We are slipping into a draconian and authoritarian state under Starmer where people are locked up and convicted on a whim. Shame on the people who voted Labour on 4 July."

"Jordan PARLOUR was jailed for 20 months for posting on social media that people should target a building in Leeds housing 200 asylum seekers. Tyler KAY was jailed for 38 months for urging people to set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers. If those sentences are to be the benchmark - then logically speaking, addressing a crowd at a protest and saying that people should have their throats cut should follow a similar sentence. And given the judge in Belfast's commentary while remanding Cameron ARMSTRONG into custody that '""He doesn't have to throw a petrol bomb or brick to be involved in disorder, if he's present at disorder. Anybody involving themselves in this type of behaviour, this type of disorder, be an active participant or a curious observer can expect to be, save for the most exceptional circumstances, remanded into custody, and this defendant is remanded into custody""ù all of the people who stood by cheering and laughing while he said it should be looking over their shoulders as well. People can agree or disagree with the sentences - and the apparent lunacy of the Belfast judge's position - but as long as it's applied equally so everyone knows where they stand then there can't really be any complaints."
