Did it though? This shit always dies down eventually anyway. 3 nights appears to be the threshold. That's about how long the Tottenham riots lasted for, anyways iirc.

I'm all for giving stiffer sentences to people actually causing criminal damage and attacking the police, but some of the sentences being handed out for supposedly stirring things up are ridiculous when people have been chanting for Israel's destruction every weekend for months with the Met running interference for them online.
I love being able to completely make shit up about the people I don't agree with because the people I do agree with are facing consequences.
(fwiw I'm not a big fan of these social media charges unless you are literally organising the stuff rather than 'appearing to incite' it)
It's probably pretty chilling in general terms, but seeing as it targets absolute knobheads exclusively I find it hard to be too bothered.
What do you think phonics? Do you think they meant peacefully jihadding for better pay and conditions?
So actually that pretty much lines up with my stated position above. Was he actually organising a Jihad and signing people up to go blow up a synagogue? No. Was he being a twat, yes. The statement says he was identified and would be spoken to to shut the fuck up and stop being a twat. He was also definitely put on a list where he will be surveilled for the rest of time.
I don't think you should be jailed for saying that 'people on boats deserve to die' I think you should be jailed if you're trying to organise a group of people to sink boats.
edit: Further googling suggests that the group who organised said demonstration have been classified as a terrorist organisation so I doubt the Met are running much interference for them.
Educate me, what else does/could calling for Jihad mean?
I mean technically Jihad really just means to struggle/exert against something but that's mealy mouthed bollocks.
To put it into white terms, I feel that, "We've got to do something about these muslims/immigrants/boats" and "We are going to do something about these muslims/immigrants/boats, meet me here to do so" should be treated differently when it comes to legal action.
People are currently being jailed for sharing racist memes to nobody on Facebook, because the judge deemed that they had 'to be viewed in the context of the current civil unrest up and down this country'; but matey gets 'spoken to to shut the fuck up and stop being a twat' and the police trying to contextualise his remarks in a way he clearly never meant in order to justify doing nothing about it in the immediate aftermath of a massive terror attack. It is obviously a farce and ought to undermine any faith that these are neutral institutions.
They were also only proscribed as a terror organisation a few months after that footage, largely on the back of their out-sized role in all of the demonstrations, so the Met will have been happy to defend them as just another happy 'community' organisation.
I don't make the rules, I'm Yevrah, but if calling for Jihad doesn't fit within this definition then it's hard to see how the police aren't dealing with these things in a way they really shouldn't be.
One can debate whether the law should exist, but given that it does it's absolutely staggering that he wasn't arrested and charged.The Met Police’s “What is hate crime?” document states:
“The offence of incitement to hatred occurs when someone acts in a way that is threatening and intended to stir up hatred…
Hate content may include: messages calling for violence against a specific person or group”
They don't criminalise anything specific to Muslims, because it's just too much hassle.
Which is really storing up a load of problems to be unleashed later on down the line.
We had enough of rabid Christianity and its impact in this country and having finally largely got over that, willingly ushering in the nuttier fringe elements of another religion to fill the vacuum seems a tad short sighted.
"Ioan Pintaru" apparently. Doesn't seem very British or very Muslim. Win win.
Now, has anyone seen Mahow?
Sounds Romanian.
We had a Romanian living in Sweden at one point didn't we? Find him.
Why the fuck is a Romanian of no fixed address in the country? Anyway, meanwhile down under:

Heads have gone.
Romanian, not Scottish.
Soz waff.
Monkeypox is back.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ar...alth-emergency
What happened to all the the cases we were getting over here? Did they just stop? Or did the media just stop reporting it?
Why did the change the name![]()
Mpox was robbed of a gold medal in breaking the other day.
What a fucking world.
Somehow a load of cyanide has found its way into the canal in Walsall.![]()
The UK's waterways obviously upping their game to fend off any threat from balloons challenging them for the position of top novelty death perpetrator.
Likely to kick off on Thailand again soon. Highest court, backed by the military, has just effectively sacked the PM.

Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.
Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Disney after his wife died in 2023 from a severe allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at the theme park.
However, Disney argues its terms of use, which Mr Piccolo agreed to when creating his Disney account in 2019, means they have to settle out of court.

Yet another episode of South Park come to life.
That's absolutely insane.
They're very wild about nobody dying at Disney World. Moving the bodies out to declare them dead outside, etc.
Like Nurburg.
It's a amazing that the cuddly cartoon company started by a Nazi is still managing the same trick all these years later.
Trying the Wayne Hennesy defence.
In other criminal justice news that case where the CPS refused to take a rape case to trial because the victim might have had 'sexsomnia' is properly lol.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyxdpezyllo
OkJade described the CPS decisions during this time as “more damaging” to her than the night of the incident, saying the legal process had turned her world “upside down”.
Her ironic veneration of Hitler and blaming the jews and saudis for 9/11 will keep her out of a Starmer government, at least.
Motion capture prudes.
It does seem like a horrendous situation to be in but there's a distinct lack of, "Nah, I'm not doing that scene."

Fair fucks to them, to be honest. The whole 'not telling them what the job is til they turn up' part is shady as fuck and suggests they knew if they put it out openly they'd be struggling to recruit. Also if you just need a woman to simulate sex noises (consensual or otherwise) and not much else just contract in a sex worker, ten a penny these days.
Also, there are literally dedicated voice artists who specialise in this shit now, thanks to the golden era of degeneracy the internet bestowed upon us.
It is but I get the sense 99% of voice actors take any job they can get. At least the non-union ones. Presumably they don't start asking questions until the job starts.
Can't be that often that a super yacht sinks.
And then the guy on it might be someone who has recently given the US a bit of a bloody nose.
Not at all suspicious.
Do you think the US ordered the tornado?
You'll have to check with Le Tiss.
I've asked and he says yes.
Devious bastards.
I see slavery is alive and well in the Scottish fishing industry. I await Magic casting the entire population of Scotland as slavers because of a few bad apples.
Properly racist country.

Local news tastic but this is such a lol story. Plane literally on approach to land when it's turned round to fly 80 miles back to its destination, having already been heavily delayed, because it was due to arrive 90 seconds after the airport was normally due to shut. You'd be beyond furious.
I'm out from work at five and I don't give a fuck.
