Un hombre cegado por una bandera que le tapa los ojos. No ve que avanza hacia el vacío. Banksy ha captado la esencia de la ultraderecha en el mundo. Es un maldito genio.

This letter from His Honour Simon Tonking (one of the original authors of the Crown Court Compendium) is well worth reading. Experienced legal figures warn these jury reforms are unworkable. A rushed, ill-judged change that risks real harm to justice.

@BarristerSecret @BBCr4today Apparently there is no back log in the magistrates’ court. Lammy is either being misled by those who brief him or he’s not interested in the truth. I just represented a man of good character charged with a common assault and the half day trial was fixed for April 2027.

Listening to David Lammy on @BBCr4today attempting to justify abolishing trial by jury, it is increasingly and terrifyingly clear that he simply does not understand the issues.

@Coins_Kid Hi Tom, do you still have faith in FB and Hyper?

@SgtMajFrench As you were, carry on.

@jaimerh354 Jaime. Sorry.

@jaimerh354 You’re a class act Jamie!

“Anyone charged with violent disorder and other serious offences should expect to be remanded in custody, not let back on the streets; and anyone convicted should expect to go to jail.” A Prime Minister setting out a government response to serious disorder on the streets. 1/3

@jaimerh354 How is he still practicing?

When the Manchester Arena bomb was detonated, GMP officers ran towards danger to do their duty, as they are prepared to do every day. If you call them cowards from your keyboard, you label every serving officer a coward. Enough now.

Wait just a minute, are you telling me that the guy who cheated on his first wife with his second, on his second wife with his third and on his third wife with a porn star, the guy who cheated people with a fake university and a fake charity, cheated his contractors out of money, cheated on his SATs, his draft deferments, his business records, his taxes and with his campaign funds, the guy who tried to cheat his way out of an election loss… cheats at golf?!? No way!!!

@SpencerHakimian Is the answer; ‘because you’re thick as shit, can’t lie straight in bed, have no idea about geo-politics and act recklessly, safe in the knowledge that your cult-fetish disciples will continue to blow smoke up your fat, orange, paedo arse, regardless?’🤷‍♂️

If your goal is to onshore manufacturing, bring jobs to the U.S., and get idle factories up and running again, why would you tax the input costs needed for all of those things (copper, steel, aluminum, fertilizer, etc.) at 3x a higher rate than you are taxing the imported finished goods those factories make? Completely incoherent set of policies. It’s like a 3rd grader drew them all up.

@mooreholmes24 Is this the Church Boy’s Brigade? We have something similar in Britain but usually reserved for children.

Hate lost and Loyalism won. They tried to demonise and degrade a proud culture, but only made it stronger. The Portrush parade was a powerful show of resilience, unity & pride. Bigger, better, and more unshakeable than ever. A defeat for the haters. A victory for a better future.

@BBCMarkSimpson Is this the Church Boy’s Brigade? We have something similar in Britain but usually reserved for children. More volunteering and less flags mind.

10.30pm Portrush 🥁

@tiley_justin Thank you for your service. Good luck going forward.

Last time wearing these… 38 years done. Time for a change of career.

@WhiteHouse Fake news

One year ago today, an assassin opened fire on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet hit—but by the grace of God, he stood up. Bloodied. Unbowed. And he fought harder. July 13th is a reminder: we fight, we win, AND WE NEVER SURRENDER. 🇺🇸

@Saraita101 When the Irish faced famine, conflict, occupation, injustice & acute poverty, millions got on boats & headed to safer shores often facing a hostile reception but the world is populated by Irish refugees and those places are all the better for it. Wise the fuck up you melts.

Sometimes I really do hate living here

@Coins_Kid Which HYPER? There are a few!

@BTCBacchus @CilComLFC The Irish Preidency is symbolic and ceremonial and carries no authority nor power. It’s an ambassadorial role. The thick gobshite isn’t going to get on the ballot and even if he won, which he won’t, he could do feck all about anything.

@CilComLFC Is there any real Irish on here that can give a realistic idea of his chances?

🇮🇪 BREAKING: Conor McGregor has announced that ALL Migrants who have committed a Crime, are Unemployed, or are Mentally Unwell, will be DEPORTED from Ireland if he wins this year’s Presidential Election, calling it his “Top Priority.” Conor will MAKE IRELAND GREAT AGAIN! 🔥🔥

@fartboiz @Coins_Kid Don’t worry mate, 4 cents coming in again anytime soon!🤣

@Coins_Kid I sold all my XRP for #FARTBOY woopsi

I'm seeing so many analysts eventually playing catchup to my long term target for #xrp. That $27 target for #xrp doesn't seem that far fetched now does it? It just takes time to get there. The road to $27 continues.

@KarenMc_G Pisses me off that this is going on in Ireland. When the Irish faced famine, conflict, occupation, injustice and acute poverty millions got on boats and headed to safer shores. In some places, like parts of England, those folk faced a similar reception to this.

Dublin Now. A woman of a certain age with a walking stick stands alone with a card saying "racists" among the "get them out" and "protect our women" brigade! Being bullied, harrased and pushed by a plastic paddy thug! 😪💔 This lone woman has more balls than the entire crowd!

@micheal_olainn The presidency of the Republic of Ireland is symbolic and ceremonial. Even if he were elected he would have no powers (save for some minor discretionary ones) and would have no input in immigration policy.

Conor McGregor McGregor represents the very worst of what it is to be Irish. McGregor is the national shame of Ireland. Conor McGregor demeans Ireland and the attribute of Irishness McGregor is a thoroughly nasty stain on the reputation of Ireland.
