Smith v Donnelly 2001 SCCR 800 (High Court of Justiciary): Established BotP in Scotland requires conduct severe enough to cause alarm to ordinary people and threaten serious disturbance to the community. Mere presence, or conduct only offensive to the intolerant, won’t wash.

Why does Vladimir Putin look like he’s just chalked his cue while pondering how to get back on the black after potting a tricky red to the far corner?

I bet that they arrogantly believe in their righteousness and that voters will flock to them, given a choice between Labour and Tories/Reform or whatever.

Last time my daughter interacted with a refugee (from Kashmir), he gave our family some paracetamol for a headache after hearing her complaining. Refused to take any money and we had to plead with him to take it.

Everyone remembers Iraq 2003. Cooper was around at the time and is probably using it as her playbook.

They are arresting more people than would be arrested otherwise, if PA were painting planes red etc, and it is costing more. If they are arresting the parish council and magistrates class, they have a huge further problem. And they are held hostage by the unrestrained actions of genocidal Israel.

Whilst the police in London arrest blind pensioners in Wheelchairs for being anti-genocide, in Portsmouth the leader of UKIP makes a nazi salute at an anti migrant demo and the police do nothing. Welcome to Britain 2025.

Famously, the author that doesn't like retroactively making her work more diverse after the fact is *checks notes* JK Rowling?

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the Observer’s expose of the Salt Path couple hasn’t hurt sales, given John Boyne’s ghastly book abt the Holocaust has been repeatedly condemned as dangerously misleading by a number of authorities, including the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & it’s still taught.

Good idea, I was wondering about this.

Direct action doesn't always mean punching a Nazi.

Direct action can be as simple as seeing post for a $90K per year

Devils and angels fight over soul of a dying miser. Which way will he go in these last moments on earth? Hieronymus Bosch, typically, is not optimistic. And today is his day.

Biological males, not allowed, my new excuse for bra shopping - I don't care one way or another about the product other than the hassle and the fact that finding the one I have been tasked to buy is like searching in that warehouse at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

I would say, "bet this would not happen in the south of England" but they have Thames Water, Southern Water etc (not radioactive, but if they could find a way of leaking radioactive stuff, they would)

I suppose it's a bit snarky to point out Corbyn is 76 and his moral compasses of Bennite politics and the Soviet Union no longer exist.

The European Union which brought human rights and prosperity to Europe, the internet which opened the libraries of the world, and trans kids are now a thing.

There is a bigger protest going on in Fife at the moment, whack-a-mole for the local police as a Labour councillor paedophile is moved around after being released on bail.
