Liverpool Lou

Did I say that I had? No, I did not, I was supporting another poster's comment.

You are confused on ‘innocent until proven guilty’. It does not exist outside the criminal justice system. He’s accused, the police, the judge and the jury mut consider him innocent until the verdict comes down. "You are confused on ‘innocent until proven guilty’". No, I am not. "He’s accused, the police, the judge and the jury must consider him innocent until the verdict comes down". Cobblers. The police (the prosecution) do not have to consider him innocent. Seems as though you're the confused one!

You're right, he will.

They are no longer ‘allegations’ they are now ‘criminal charges’. There is a subtle but important distinction. At the time of potential money extractions to which he clearly was referring, they would have been allegations. There is a subtle but important distinction.

You may have missed my attempt at humour there Lou. Loosen up brother, you are starting to lash out at everyone. You're right, it was hilarious, my deepest apologies.

There you go again, correlating rational opinions with "quarrelsome messages". Some people may think that your posts are just "quarrelsome messages", has that ever occurred to you? Do you really think that this forum is intended to be a one-way street of opinions?

No, I don't.

So long as he gets the justice he deserves. That's what I said. You seem to want him to get the justice you think he deserves, though!

These are criminal charges brought by the CPS. There is no means for the accuser to extract money from the accused in a criminal trial. Doubtless, he meant "allegations.

Well, no one's going to disagree with that.

Was he convicted of the attempted assault or anything else related the that circumstance? Is making "vile comments" to women an offence?

Any reason that an, as yet, innocent man should not receive support?

Not a chance of his going pro se.

If he's innocent he'll easily explain it. What makes you say that he's a "full-fledged nasty bit of work"?

Perhaps he'll get the acquittal that he could deserve?

He's guilty?

Good grief. You reap what you sow!

Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways!

Yet, "according to export data from the World Bank, the islands have, over the past few years, usually exported a small amount of products to the US. But in 2022 the US imported US$1.4m (A$2.23m; ) from the territory, nearly all of it unnamed "machinery and electrical" products".

I am surprised you don't know the 10 year ruling is in respect of the Schengen area, not EU countries, but laid down by the EU. My comment did not relate to EU/Schengen legislation. The only thing that I was commenting about was that a poster who tried to justify his post by stating that he "knows his facts" included non-EU countries in his list of "EU countries", demonstrating his lack of knowledge of that "fact". I am surprised that you couldn't see that!

...some of then cunning stunts.

That is a totally unhelpful comment, it just shows you are a bad driver. No, it doesn't. it doesn't say anything at all about how he drives.

Have you never, not once, ridden your bike without a helmet, anywhere, regardless of the length of the ride or the circumstances?

Every bike rider, without exception, was an "obvious first-timer", once, weren't they (including you if you ride a bike), no need to disparage them.

What the huh?
