  1. No it’s not. It’s an example of not getting the expected verdict therefore attacking the jury. I predict it to be a theme throughout 2024 and one you might want to keep any eye on.
  2. There is absolutely no case for ‘Professional Jurors’.
  3. Agreed. And here’s the idiocy of the rightwing argument. The Tory’s failed Rwanda plan has never once been put before the European Court of Human Rights. Each successful challenge to the ‘plan’ has come from the UK courts ruling on matters of UK law. What is actually going on is the extreme rightwing, a bunch of hyper wealthy old school chums (AKA the very elite that they claim to be opposing) are using the Tory failure to control immigration as an argument to get rid of human rights law.
  4. The absolute nonsense is the suggestion that the UK should leave the convention. It’s an extremist rightwing fantasy. It’s not going to happen for the reasons I’ve explained and many others, not least Reform UK are doing a great job destroying the Tory Party.
  5. The power to legislate resides with Congress. Congress agreed a bi-partisan resolution, which the Republicans then pulled the plug on to appease their master. Facts matter!
  6. Republicans first participate in bi-lateral border legislation, then on the eve of the vote they get a call from Trump and pull the plug. Leaving Biden with no other option than to implement executive orders. Republicans then claim Biden is copying Trump. My punt is it will not involve separating children from their parents, throwing the children in cages and then losing the records so the children can’t be united with their parents. Or indeed any other form of over cruelty that characterized Trump’s policies.
  7. The Christo-fascist aren’t going to like that.
  8. So the answer to the 14 years of Government failure to use laws already in place, or even process and deport bogus asylum seekers is to remove the UK from the International Conventions of which the UK was a founding member and instrumental in their drafting. There’s an alternative. Get rid of the failed government and its failed policies and deal with the problem rationally and within the law.
  9. So it won’t be ‘Reform UK with their plans to rid the UK of human rights laws then.
  10. OK we got it. You’re following the script. Enjoy the trial.
  11. I’m stocked up on reality. “The allegations are in substance that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 election. ” Putting aside any last minute delays that’s the substance of the criminal case that will go to trial on Monday. ‘Falsified business records’ sounds like someone has the receipts.
  12. More misrepresentation of the facts and of course whataboutary. Your desperation is beginning to show. Meanwhile I have linked to the facts of what this case is about: Fraud in the furtherance of election interference (A felony): Roll on Monday.
  13. Slapped with an extra 5 months in the slammer: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/10/allen-weisselberg-sentenced-perjury-trump-fraud-trial?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
  14. All this whining and the trial hasn’t even started yet.
  15. I’ve asked you already. How are the courts ruling on Trump’s allegations of the judge being biased?
  16. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," It’s a remarkable claim, but in this thread we see the evidence of just how far gone some of Trump’s supporters are.
  17. How are the courts ruling on Trump’s claims regarding biased judges, AG’s and DAs? Monday is nearly upon us, they’ve surely had something to say on the puerile claims.
  18. To quote Benjamin Franklin’s wise words: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Give up this rightwing extremist dream of leaving the European Convention on Human rights. It underpins the cooperation between European Nations and the UK, leaving the convention would end extradition treaties between the UK and European nations, end the sharing of data between European law enforcement and the UK, end the sharing of personal data between European based companies and the UK and scupper the Good Friday Agreement, which is founded on the European Convention of Human Rights. So away with you and your rightwing extremist nonsense It ain’t going to happen.
  19. The case being heard before a jury in an open court of law. The jury, witnesses and court staff being free from threats or intimidation such that the Jury can hear the evidence and decide guilt or innocence based upon the evidence and testimony presented in court.
  20. So perhaps you would agree that the Government should not have cut funding to clearing asylum seekers and actually dealt with the problem rather than manipulating the numbers?! https://www.ft.com/content/0f148bc5-2088-4564-b6be-9b4e9a5b288b
  21. Yep. Disagree. It’s the job of AG and the DG to prosecute crooks, that’s what they are paid to do. Your claims of the judge hating Trump are puerile nonsense. I look forward to Monday, you should too. Justice is coming.
