I think we’re all forgetting about the best thing that’s ever happened at a British riot.

Also, please don’t shit in my bed. You’re not Amber Heard.

“Nasty tweet” “Mass deportation now. Set fire to all the ****ing hotels full of the bastards for all I care. While you’re at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist, so be it.” That’s incitement to mass murder of not just the 30,000 migrants her husband’s party had put in hotels but also a democratically elected government and politicians she claims are “treacherous” (she doesn’t go into detail for some reason). The tweet had 300,000 views and people literally tried to burn down some hotels afterwards. She was charged with “inciting racial hatred”, and plead ****ing guilty to it. She’s not a victim. She’s a hateful racist. Jones was charged with “encouraging violent disorder”, a claim he denied and plead not guilty to. He argued that his remarks were a response to dangerous far-right propaganda, specifically claims of razor blades hidden behind National Front stickers on trains. A jury of his peers found him not guilty. The two cases are completely different. Incomparable. Two different set of circumstances, two different alleged crimes, two different charges, two different pleas. It only “looks” a certain way because certain politicians are claiming it is; notably the same politicians that were claiming that the Welsh Christian perpetrator was actually a Muslim asylum seeker. Such misinformation is still being shared, like the erroneous conflation of two completely different cases for political purposes.

It can be both.

We were absurdly lucky that deaths were 'only' 250,000. I'm not being hyperbolic or tribal when I say Johnson and Hancock should be spending the rest of their lives behind bars. That's just the basic level of accountability citizens should expect. This is a very good (and fact checked) summary of what has already been revealed in the inquiry: The final stages NEED to be broadcast live on national television. The public NEED to be fully informed of what these people did and what they are responsible for. They need to be held accountable and people like them can never be allowed to hold public office again.

That's because you're putting it on a pedal stool.

Still, at least they’re paying VAT on it.

Wasn’t necessarily aimed at you, just quoted you in as part of the conversation context. That’s the problem, we’re now so conditioned into reacting to an attention grabbing headline with a strong immediate opinion that we forget about context. Or to put it this way: Its a toxic part of our online culture that has real and serious consequences down the line.

She could have been entitled to Legal Aid but unfortunately her husband's party cut that to the bone. She also might have been able to have had her trial heard much quicker but unfortunately her husband's party created huge backlogs in the courts system. She probably wouldn't even have committed the crime she confessed and plead guilty to if we weren't housing asylum seekers in hotels but unfortunately her husband's party destroyed the asylum system and decided to put them in hotels instead. And they probably wouldn't even be coming on small boats but unfortunately her husband's party took us out of the EU and out of the Dublin Arrangement which means we can't turn them around an escort them back to their point of origin. Whoops. She could have been living in a 'safer' community but unfortunately her husband’s party cut police numbers and community programmes that would have made it feel safer. She could have been given proper mental health support but unfortunately her husband's party gutted those services. She should be grateful that she'll be entitled to early release after serving 40% of her sentence which was decreased from 50% by the new government after her husband’s party left prisons quite literally at breaking point. Political prisoner? Or someone being held accountable for a crime they committed and plead guilty to committing, and facing the consequences of quite literally everything she has voted for and directly enabled? It's honestly astonishing she has the gall to whinge about it. The term "hoist by her own retard" springs to mind.

I had hoped the COVID pandemic would have been enough to convince people that having irresponsible, scientifically illiterate, self interested and over-privileged twats in charge is a really ****ing stupid idea but here we are 5 years later and there's a fascist in the White House lying about transgender mice, defunding scientific research with the help of an anti-vaccine activist as his health secretary. America is a lost cause for at least a generation or two but I sincerely hope here we have the latter stages of the COVID inquest broadcast live on national television to not just get across the importance of taking science seriously but also getting the public on board with holding said irresponsible, scientifically illiterate, self interested and over-privileged twats who were in charge at the time accountable for their crimes so that we don't let it happen again.

It’s going to be fun watching the likes of Richard ‘stupid’ Tice conflate a man being found not guilty by a jury of his peers with a woman being jailed after pleading guilty to her crime.

What amazes me is that the people who hate immigrants and any sort of immigration, the people opposed to foreign aid, and the people opposed to doing literally anything about climate change are the same ****ing people. I get that Richard 'stupid' Tice is paid by fossil fuel companies to whinge on their behalf but it's just incredible to see 'normal' people struggle to connect the those dots.

The evolution of the social media sites over the last 10+ years has been utterly devastating.

Dude’s a proper inspiration.

Was just about to bloody post this you context!

Elon's been made to look like a right tit by his own AI, which I'm sure he'll change to deliver alternative facts very soon.

Very impressed with Alien: Earth episode one! I was skeptical if it would work on a TV format but from this opening gambit, it looks like it will pay off. Also some lovely surprising casting choices that I didn't know about! Some no context spoilers:

With us, right?

Honestly wasn't expecting any as they're usually difficult to come by in the early rounds of the cup
