  1. It’s working out marvelously for the millions of working Americans who voted for him. Except it’s not, and it’s getting worse by the day.
  2. There you go with yet more gaslighting. Yaxley Lennon is in prison for contempt of court, a crime he pled guilty to in court. Quit with your gaslighting already.
  3. Yaxley Lennon is in prison for contempt of court. He’s not a ‘political prisoner’. Quit with your gaslighting already.
  4. Which is the basis of his isolation from the general prison population and thereby the reason his application failed.
  5. An interesting detail in the Guardian report reveals a possible motivation behind Yaxley Lennon making this application: “His application to challenge his prison conditions has meant a separate prosecution – for allegedly refusing to comply with a search of his phone by police using counter-terrorism powers – has been delayed for months.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/21/tommy-robinson-refused-permission-challenge-prison-segregation
  6. The rightwing will be all over this five star life style in HMP. But maybe not.
  7. Perhaps observing Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine, withholding military equipment in the middle of a war against an invader is something to factor into the decision. And then there’s this: The U.S. can no longer be regarded as a reliable defense partner. The UK needs to come to terms with that.
  8. So how does suppressing the rights of LGBTQ people improve your life? There must be some reason you are so supportive of authoritarian government kickings down on these people, perhaps they are validating your own obvious hatred of LGBTQ individuals.
  9. It’s all part of the ‘they need us more than we need them’ mindset.
  10. Clearly losing 8 to 49 wasn’t just a defeat, it was a clear signal that Coe couldn’t get anywhere the votes needed. That a candidate so far out of contention could possibly bring change is not at all realistic.
  11. To be fair, Trump he did do the Taliban a solid. They are almost certainly grateful for past favors in the “released from imprisonment” category.
  12. Correct. And that’s before other issues, not represented in the data selected for the illogical argument are examined. For example. While homosexuality sits within a spectrum of normal sexual development that is influenced by genetics, the same cannot be said of Pedophilia. There is also significant evidence that child sex abuse is, in many cases, a learned behavior, many child abusers having been victims themselves during their own childhood. The existence of pedophiles is not random, it has causes that are not those that relate to other normal sexual development. Therefore the sample of convicted pedophiles is not random. Pedophiles are not representative of the general population. There is no mathematical basis to draw conclusions on the general population from a sample that is not random and not representative. Finally, there is a reverse argument that comes out of the naïve ‘proportional’ view. The data on pedophiles comes from prosecutions, the behaviors of the individuals have been logged in the criminal record, it is very solid data. The data on homosexuality is very much less secure, being to a large extent based on self identification, certainly under reported. If the naïve reading of the proportionality is to be taken at face value, then it cannot be concluded that homosexuality is over reported among pedophiles without first closing out the equally logical, and statistically more sound, conclusion that homosexuality in the general population is massively under reported.
  13. “If you consider that the prevalence of homosexuality in the population ranges from 0.5% to 4%, the fact that 25% of paedophiles primarily or exclusively target boys very obviously shows that pedophilia is significantly more prevalent among homosexuals.” That’s an utterly ridiculous conclusion, but thanks for exposing your total lack of understanding of simple data analysis so very clearly. If 25% of pedophiles primarily or exclusive target boys, the only valid conclusion is “25% of pedophiles primarily or exclusively target boys”. It reveals absolutely nothing about the prevalence of pedophilia in the wider homosexual population. There is hope though. “if you factor in the actual number of homosexuals in society and their prevalence among paedophiles a very different picture quickly emerges” Now all you need is this actual data you refer to in order to see what picture actually emerges. Well, the actual data and the ability to understand what it is and is not telling you.
  14. You don’t have to celebrate anything, nobody is forcing you to join any parades. You do however get to provide links to claims you offer up as facts: Give it your best shot.
  15. Trump has already demonstrated his threats of ‘Devastating Consequences’ are meaningless verbiage. He’s a paper tiger.
  16. Yes hospital operating theaters do have Uninterruptible Power Supplies, so do control rooms. UPS back up to the critical systems within facilities is common practice, but it is not at all usual for large scale facilities to have complete UPS back up.
  17. In his first term of office (as President) Trump withdrew the U.S. from the treaty with Iran that Obama had negotiated. He absolutely was President when he did so.
