@MMcEwanGolf @JeffCarnage Are we not allowed to suggest we should be beating the likes of Haiti by more than one goal? See what happened to Switzerland. Last night could have been more embarrassing.

@JeffCarnage Spot on. Some of it is just rage bait, and that’s fine. I know how this app works. But the people who actually mean it? Fucking hell. FIFA-playing, xG-worshipping weirdos.

See if your sole contribution on here today is to describe Scotland's performance in the win over Haiti as "embarrassing", you need to give your head a wee wobble. The team just did something that hasn't been done in 36 years, won a 'must win' game, and now they have a legitimate chance of progressing from the group... yet some people are filling their nappies over the performance. I've seen us play well and lose way too many times. I'll take playing poorly and winning.

@Record_Sport Why don't they just buy Hearts FFS. Oh right, it'd cost them more than £1.

@EdwinWine1 @CharlieMoloney @AaronBastani The idea that they were motivated by "terrorism" (whatever that actually is) is laughable. If you can't see, from the court reporting and facts, that this is a massive stitch up, I don't know what to say to you.

Terrorism as an Aggravating Factor in Sentencing Under Section 69 of the UK Sentencing Act 2020, a court can find that an ordinary criminal offence has a "terrorist connection" even where the defendant has not been charged or convicted of a terrorism offence. If the court makes that finding, it becomes a significant aggravating factor and can increase the sentence imposed. The court must be satisfied that the offence was committed for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial, or ideological cause and was intended to influence government or intimidate the public. Additional consequences can include stricter release provisions, extended licence periods, and terrorism notification requirements. � The Guardian +2 Did the Defence Know This Was an Issue? Yes. The defence knew before sentencing that the prosecution was seeking a finding of a terrorist connection and argued extensively against it. The issue was litigated before and during the proceedings. However, the jury was not told that a terrorism finding could later be sought and was not asked to determine it. The question was reserved for the trial judge to decide after conviction. Defence lawyers, campaign groups, and several legal commentators argued that this was unfair because the defendants were tried for criminal damage and related offences, not terrorism offences. The judge nevertheless ruled at sentencing that a terrorist connection existed and treated it as an aggravating factor. � The Guardian +3 In Practical Terms The defendants were not convicted of terrorism offences. They were convicted of criminal damage and, in Samuel Corner's case, grievous bodily harm. The judge then concluded that the offences were committed to advance a political or ideological cause and therefore had a terrorist connection for sentencing purposes. That finding contributed materially to the severity of the sentences imposed. � The Guardian +2

If these Filton 4 sentences are too high, the Court of Appeal can look at. But I am just genuinely amazed there are commentators who were not aware that if you cause north of £1million in criminal damage then you will usually be looking at 3-5 years inside minimum regardless

@savoy_girl @CharlieMoloney How the fuck could you consider this terrorism, and what Israel does not? Are you insane?

@CharlieMoloney My personal feeling is that, if they were treating it as terrorism (which is fair, tbh), the defendants should have been able to explain their reasoning in court as part of their defence. It seems wrong to deny them the opportunity to use it in defence ti then use it against them

@CharlieMoloney @AaronBastani Unusual? This judge cut his teeth in behind closed doors cases for the government and security services. He helped the Gov with their ludicrous proscription against Palestine Action. Are you just a fucking sheep, happy that whatever the government does is okidoki? Fuck you man.

@AaronBastani If parliament gave courts the power to find that an aggravating factor is a 'terrorist connection', then there will inevitably be a case where that aggravating factor can be used, lawfully. If the law is wrong and unjust, parliament can change it. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2020/17/…

@BillAckman @BernieSanders @elonmusk @SpaceX Yeah, let's celebrate the fact that people can become mega rich at the expense of everyone else, avoid tax that everyone else pays, and completely ignore those who aren't lucky enough to be the sons of diamond mine owners.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

@ziggyziggy2709 @XelenX1 @GraemeFrew5 @RespectIsVital You're basing your view on a single still photo from a fascist leaning paper. Meanwhile I the real world, this is not actually what happened. But you go on 8n your little world you fucking prick. One day they'll come for you and I will laugh.

@XelenX1 @GraemeFrew5 @RespectIsVital Aw well that's okay then if he only fractured her back a little bit , bet she was still in a state of terror though as he stood over her with a sledgehammer , the little freaks should have got a lot longer

You can vehemently disagree with Palestine Action activists goals, whilst simultaneously be horrified a judge can decide AFTER a conviction if it was terrorism related amd double a sentence. Being able to class an offense as terrorism AFTER conviction without charging them with terrorism should bother everyone. Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied. So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc.

@chchchcherrybmb @RespectIsVital Stupid cnut

@RespectIsVital It’s literally a terrorist act what they did. Literally. Beating a woman with a sledgehammer really doesn’t scream peace activists How are people this fucking stupid and brainwashed?

@CharlieMoloney Media law, huh? So you don't know dick about mitigating factors, about being banned from saying WHY they did it, having pros witnesses LIE, police hide evidence, ministers in contempt by commenting on "broken back" bullshit.

There's lots of aggravating factors here, but just the value of the damage alone makes the sentence not shocking. One can argue over the terrorist connection aggravating factor. The Court of Appeal can look at that if its wrong, as it seems a point that isn't raised often

@Andalusrise @AvitalLeibovich These pro-Israel people are really lowlife scum. It pains me that my fellow man can be so cuntish.

There's just one small problem: The celebration is being held on the site of AlManshiyya/ المنشية،، a Palestinian neighborhood in Jaffa that was destroyed during the Nakba in 1948 when its residents were expelled from their homes. It's hard not to see the irony in building a polished image on top of the ruins of Palestinian homes and the legacy of Palestinian suffering.

Same park in Tel Aviv: On the left- Israeli Arabs marking Eid al Adha- last month. On the right- Tel Aviv gay parade, yesterday. Anyone wants to tell me that Israel is an apartheid state?! ( photo credit- Haaretz, TLV municipality)

@AvitalLeibovich Go fuck yourself you war crimes apologist bitch.

@lewis_goodall @afneil Don't even engage the old fucking gammon.

@afneil You think inequality, of no order of magnitude, makes democracy harder to sustain? Take it up with Aristotle. Or Teddy Roosevelt.

Give me an example of that difference, please.

@MCleaver @Catheri22274003 @DerbyChrisW @GregHadfield Fucning hell man. Exactly what makes you think they 2ere supporting hamas?

@Catheri22274003 @DerbyChrisW @GregHadfield But Hamas did. And were supported by these four "activists".

The 1960s apartheid govt of South Africa labelled the ANC as terrorists and used a compliant judiciary to suppress their activists and supporters. Today's British govt uses the same tactics against Palestine Action and its supporters. Here's a photo of Judge Quartus de Wet who sentenced Nelson Mandela to life in prison, alongside Judge Jeremy Johnson who yesterday sentenced four Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even though they were never charged with terrorism, because such a charge would've been thrown out by every jury in the land. Johnson would have fitted in very well in South Africa's apartheid regime.

@DadRogd @lewis_goodall @afneil Combating disinformation by putting ex-8200 members in charge of the algorithm. Uh-huh.

@lewis_goodall @afneil Given Elon splurged $44bn to save democracy (by ensuring free debate and combating disinformation) I am not sure your argument holds much water. Now, if he were using all that wealth to censor or to spread misinformation, then you'd have a pont. So, turn your turret to Soros.

What difference does it make to your life?

@zippy_hopeful @afneil Risking taxpayers' money

@afneil Th biggest differences between the USA and Britain, appetite for risk and attitude to money. Musk has made an enormous contribution to the USA. He's also made an enormous contribution to Ukraine via StarLink. The jealous are blind to both.

@afneil I wonder what difference a massive wealth gap makes to people's lives... Come on Andrew, I'm sure you can find the answer if you wipe the billionaire jizz out of your eyes.

@bariweiss @TrevorPTweets @CBSNews Racist scumbag joins racist scumbag at her station. Perfect marriage.

Thrilled to welcome @TrevorPTweets to @CBSNews.

@EdieJarolim @habibahamid @bariweiss @TrevorPTweets @CBSNews Maybe, just maybe, that's because you're a racist piece of trash as well.

@habibahamid @bariweiss @TrevorPTweets @CBSNews I love Melanie Phillips! So you're saying that Israel hired her to work on air in Britain? I think you just want to say "the Jews"!

@habibahamid @bariweiss @TrevorPTweets @CBSNews Perfect for Bari.

@bariweiss @TrevorPTweets @CBSNews For context, Trevor is known as one of the last virulent, Islamobhobic, bigoted and hateful voices on air in Britain. He’s on a par with Melanie Phillips, who no doubt the Israelis will next impose on America.

@JimLift @whDCFCspeech @RossMcCaff You still here?

@bawsandbaws @whDCFCspeech @RossMcCaff Brits aren’t respected by anyone lol you’re known as a joke

fucking america man. 3 years of fresh italian produce and the poor lad has one taste of yank food and is shitting rings round himself
