People have already lost faith in the UK political process, and the police. Until now, the courts have retained a measure of public respect. Will the courts and the judges now go the way of the politicians and police?
“Respect” is not quite the same as “fear”. Judge Jeffreys was feared but not respected. Look what happened to him.
“George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys PC (15 May 1645 – 18 April 1689), also known as “the Hanging Judge“,[1] was a Welsh judge. He became notable during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). His conduct as a judge was to enforce royal policy, resulting in a historical reputation for severity and bias.”

“This is how ludicrous things have become. The judge said: “Of the people I have thus far sentenced, you are the person who provides me with the most difficulty because it cannot be levelled at you that you hit anyone, neither have you thrown anything, neither is it said that you spat at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you were a party to this disorder and I have to sentence you on that basis, and you know that anyone party to it has to receive a custodial sentence.” Man described by judge as the ‘least involved’ in riot jailed for a year https://telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/13/youngest-female-rioter-13-court-mother-step-father/“
I was not familiar with the facts of the case until (just now) reading the above link, but if the defendant did actually nothing, neither by deed nor by word (of incitement, though he did say things of an insulting and profane character), then how could any judge, properly directing himself, either find the defendant guilty (even on a plea of guilty, which may have been procured by fear of a heavier sentence yet) or hand down any custodial sentence?
I see now, in the Daily Telegraph report, that the defendant did in fact push at a police riot shield, though once only.
The judge was fair enough to have gone into recess at the trial, until further video evidence was screened.
Surely appealable, at least on sentence.
Indeed, if the defendant’s only action had been to be at the scene, and even if, so to speak, “silently in agreement” with the acts done by others, then that surely would not be enough? His words actually said were at worst ambiguous, in my view. Meaning that, on those premises, arguende, there was no actus reus sufficient in law (?). However, the pushing of the riot shield might (and obviously did) change that, in the mind of the judge. Rather thin, though.
Even if the judge felt impelled to imprison that defendant, surely 3 months would have been more than enough? He would then have been released within 4-5 weeks. Now, he will be spending about 5 months in prison, unless he gets bail pending any appeal on sentence.
Excessive.
Deadhead MPs
I am not yet ready to resume blogging anew about “Deadhead MPs” as I did in the past, but this one has to be at least a possible contender: https://x.com/StephenFlynnSNP/status/1820422989248143499

Strongly favours migration-invasion, and mass immigration generally. Pretends to think that it actually benefits this country! An enemy of Britain’s future.

Exactly my own experience.
(to British families or individuals only, though, not to migrant-invaders or any other non-Europeans).
Again, plainly excessive. A suspended sentence would have been appropriate; the immediate 15 months, in all the circumstances, and seeing the strong personal/family mitigation— savage. As it is, the defendant will only be released after 5 months (minus a few days).
Starmer and his compliant judges may have repressed the recent protests (which were coming to an end anyway— the (((Hope not Hate))) cabal just invented the spectre of 100 more “far right” protests— but, in my opinion, people are getting even angrier, albeit under the surface, and with both the general situation in the country and about the “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by a mere 20% of eligible voters) of Two-Tier Keir.
People are just wary of openly saying or publishing online anything now, because of the open repression of free speech, and because of the police-state over-reaction by both Two-Tier Keir and those judges who have recently been giving out Cold War East European-style “People’s Court” sentences (for political “crimes” only).

“ZELENSKY APPROVED PLAN TO BLOW UP NORD STREAM PIPELINES
Despite the mainstream media saying for months that Russia blew up the pipelines, the Wall Street Journal has now revealed it was planned and executed by Ukraine at a cost of $300,000.
When the CIA learned of the plan they told Zelesnky to abort it, however it still went ahead. According to senior Ukrainian defense and security officials, the pipelines were a legitimate target. They are jointly owned by Russian, German, French, and Dutch companies, and the explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.
It’s a problem for Germany, as a senior official said: “An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash.” Ukraine still officially denies involvement in the attack.

The vulgar mercantilist influence comes out in the language, and has for a number of years.
Apart from that, throwing money at a trade union or its members, in order to ensure a period without strikes, is easy enough, and not some masterstroke of Labour Party industrial relations.
Then compare that to the equally inaccurate and one-sided BBC and Sky News (etc) reportage about the Ukraine conflict, the migration-invasion and much else.
I agree completely. The UK has gone slowly mad in that regard over the past 50 years and especially the past 25 years.
Example(s) of and from what Katie Hopkins calls “Batshit Bonkers Britain”.
As frequently noted on the blog over the past 7 years, the self-describing “Left” has almost nothing left except hysterical demands that “the authorities” should “deplatform” anyone of whom they disapprove, or who is not of the “woke” orthodoxy. It even came out during the “Covid” hysteria of a few years ago.
The once-socialist so-called “Left” and/or “antifascist” tendency has actually nothing to offer the British people. No ideals. No ideas. Just witch-hunts.
Incidentally, anyone wanting to confirm that those sorts of individuals really are of “Batshit Bonkers Britain”, read this
I have a feeling that we may be about to see something on a larger scale. As some lady said before the French Revolution, “those who live will see“.
The lady in the white bikini better start running…
“The Kursk operation serves to create the illusion of progress.
It is possible that the United States participated in providing the intelligence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed to attack the Kursk region, said former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.
The goal of the operation is to create the illusion of success so that warmongers in Washington will continue to send money to Ukraine, he emphasized.“
Exactly.

“Blow the mosque up with the adults in it.”
Julie Sweeney, of Church Lawton, Cheshire, pleaded guilty at Chester crown court to sending a communication to convey a threat of death or serious harm.
That is what the woman posted in a facebook group. How stupid does one have to be to post something like that? If she had used a different place of worship instead of mosque I suspect her sentence would have been much longer.
I regret that the people who rioted and wrote incendiary posts on social media are so low I.Q. A great opportunity has been missed to illustrate the connection between violent crime and immigrants.
The last few months I have observed an online army of agitators on social media. It is something new for the so named ‘far-right’ and it’s very organised. There are certain ‘talking-points’ used over and over again i.e. #TwoTierPolicing. The Two Tier Policing hashtag appeared after Tommy Robinson was arrested in Nov ’23 in London. Unfortunately, most of this ‘online army’ are not too clever and having posted their ‘talking-point’ they are unable to interact coherently with anyone who challenges them or asks questions. The fact that Tommy appeared back on the scene after the pro Palestine protests began is no cohencidence.
That a fake Muslim name was posted so many times prior to the Southport riot, suggests that there is an organised movement to enrage people, but only against Muslims.
The man who knifed two females this week, one of whom was a child, is Romanian – no riots. What does that tell me? The outrage over the last few weeks has been caused by Tommy Robinson who only targets Muslims, he says he is fine with Africans, Indians and others living here, this is the clearest sign that zionist jews are the ones directing Tommy Robinson.
I still believe that English people are very moderate and tolerant, if by now the general population have not been moved to take to the streets and protest about immigration, then they never will. The riots will only have alarmed people and turned them against the rioters and their message The very fact that we have a Labour government shows that immigration was not voters top priority.
The best person to follow, for his investigations into “spin lobbying and political corruption” is Prof’ David Miller. I just looked at his Wikipedia page, it has all the signs of evil meddling little fingers all over it.

Reassuring to know that Mi6 are looking for Tommy Robinson’s “Russian connections”.
