    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.

    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.

    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”
    One can debate whether the law should exist, but given that it does it's absolutely staggering that he wasn't arrested and charged.

    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.

    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.

    Jade 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”.

    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.

    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.
