jukel123 9,064 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Remember when we had free speech? When people said I disagree with you, but will defend to the death your right to say it? Or words similar. It used to be the case that a woman who had kids was hardly ever sent to prison even for serious crime. But a woman with 3 kids was sent to prison for something she wrote when emotionally outraged after the Southport massacre. It truly is frightening. It's like North Korea. People are jailed for not following the party line to the letter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont always agree with your posts but even then they are thought provoking and well written. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A pal of my uncles was arrested at Manvers and given a prison because he was caught on bodycam pissed up stating, "Oh it's happening, this hotel is getting burned down today!" He didn't actually mean it in the literal sense, he certainly wasn't going to do it, he'd just had ten pints of Stella before going down, I was actually pissing myself hearing it on the news but he didn't have a leg to stand on did he?

The court gave a non- binding decision that Mauritius had a claim, so Labour has handed them over , but one of the islands is Diego Garcia, our, and the Americans most strategic base in the Indo-pacific. Starmer has agreed to rent back Diego Garcia, which was OUR’S in the first place, for 100 years at £101 million a year ! In the recent UK-India trade agreement Labour has agreed that Indian nationals working in the UK won’t pay NI contributions, Uk nationals working in India have the same agreement, but I’d guess a lot more Indians want to work here than brits want to work in India ! All these deals seem a bit one sided against us. But I’m not an international negotiator so maybe I’m reading it wrong ? Cheers. I'm somewhat convinced he's sorting out his friends in the legal profession, billions of pounds and years of legal work.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
