Mike Amesbury got a friendly sentence, Jones got acquitted, etc. I don't trust our judicial system any more; unironically. Its too politicised

As a Bolton fan, you've seen how Police treat fans and how different it is on the left wing protests.
August 20Aug 20 A blow for the Govt housing illegals in hotels. Someone in local Govt out bureaucracied the OG Govt bureaucracy, and they don't like it - they got nitpicked in court about planning laws and now have a problem. BBC NewsMore asylum hotels face legal challenge after court rulingNigel Farage says Reform UK-controlled councils will do everything in their power to close the hotels.More entertainingly, the Govt's housing policy is both we have enough private housing for asylum seekers, but we also don't have enough houses to keep up with the immigration plans of last 2 Govts. Speaking of more problems. Inflation is starting to get out of control BBC NewsUK inflation: Air fares and food prices push rate up to 3...Prices are now rising slightly quicker than expected and at their fastest pace since January 2024.Meanwhile, job figures have been delayed because the figures are so bad, they can't be right. And the out of control spending, means debt is rising, and to borrow, we're paying big rates on the marketsAnd to think we have an "Economist" running the country. I can hear the IMF a calling
August 26Aug 26 Its a great image of the current situation over here. Speaking of, while this is a little Chuckle Brothers (look it up), this stuff is driving the Govt and leftists wild over here. The flag of St George should only be gotten out for state approved nationalism. The more mole is whacked, the more moles that appear
September 2Sep 2 A comedy writer was arrested at Heathrow by armed police for mean tweets and banned from X "for reasons" as part of the whole shebang. Read the below and understand why me commenting here is a tough onehttps://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/i-just-got-arrested-againBut I can comment on our Govt now being in the FO stage of their FAFO on the economy. Turns out the first female Chancellor who had her company credit card suspended, lied about being an economist and was told to resign before she was fired from a job, can't do even a poor job running out countries finances.BBC NewsUK borrowing costs hit 27-year high adding to pressure on...The interest rate on UK 30-year bonds hits the highest since 1998 as concerns over the economic outlook continue.
September 2Sep 2 This is what happens to the first amendment when you give up the second.The Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan, best known for creating Father Ted and The IT Crowd, was arrested at Heathrow Airport over social media posts criticizing transgender ideology.
September 3Sep 3 People have had said far worse things about them (think death and other grim things) on social media, reported it to the Police whose response was largely, nah bro, not in our interests to prosecute. It seems the very limits of the law were stretched to do this because some bitter T who used to a Rozzer complained.The small kernel of positivity is Linehan is now suing the Met Police vis the Free Speech Union.

However, we are nearing the end state of this progressive Blairite era - the majority have had enough, and this Govt in particular, lack the intellect to get out of it.
September 4Sep 4 Meanwhile, the gobby Deputy PM who got caught up in a scandal about a 3rd home, has had a bad 24 hours. Not only did she claim advice about a property tax (stamp duty) meant she didn't pay enough, but it turns out she did the belowThe inevitable tears were turned on in a friendly TV interview to get some sympathy (hasn't worked). The kicker is Rayner posted on X 25 times and did numerous TV interviews to request other politicians from another party resign for any scandal, but hasn't gone yet for the same issues. Can't eat her cooking it seems.

September 4Sep 4 More info on our deputy PMs tax scam and how she often complains about 2nd home owners,. while doing that herself.

Not that they can chase you here on the EMB but no reason to put anything out there.He took me down to Upton Park once for an early Saturday game. We didn't have tickets but hoped to scalp some. Alas, it was right when they started cracking down on that so we never got in but we did hang out in their crazy pubs with all the knuckleheads before the match. He forbid me to speak and had me put on a West Ham scarf for "protection". Having grown up around some rough Philly types I thought I'd be fine, say I loved West Ham (I don't but...), etc. but he made me swear to stay mum. It was quite the experience. The pub was a sheet hole to be honest, carpet was wet with nasty beer, smell was downright distasteful, etc. but it was probably the most genuine West Ham experience one can get. Those lads seem to revel in their own dismay.

So yeah, rough types doesn't cover it, but as you say, the real experience. One that is disappearing from this country in general
September 5Sep 5 2 Government minsters resigned. The deputy PM finally admitted defeat and resigned before she was sacked as the ethics report was so daming. Its lovely seeing such a smug person who thought themselves untouchable be made to eat their own words. BBC NewsAngela Rayner resigns from government over failure to pay...PM Keir Starmer begins reshuffling his cabinet after Rayner quits as deputy PM, housing secretary and deputy Labour leader.Not sure how she is going to pay that large mortgage now.... LOL
September 5Sep 5 Now the PM is starting to sack members of his cabinet. 2 people have already gone and I'd think more will follow. I can't see them hanging on too long as the last lot were supposedly the best of the best
Monday at 12:42 PM3 days The arrest of Graham Linehan generate the below from a Baroness to the Met Police Commissioner. Its both hilarious and acidic in its criticism of the Met PoliceThe Government reshuffle of their Titanic meant the below chap being made our effective VP. Whenever I see this clip, I just can't help but laughHe also believes you can grow a "cervix".
