Thinking back, a lot of this nonsense started with that ludicrous Richard Reid "shoe bomber" story, the poor scapegoated Moroccan flight instructor, the two "terrorist" Islamist brothers who woke up surrounded by 200 armed police only to be subsequently innocented, the scandalous Brazilian electrician shot seven times in the head on his way to work for nothing and that wonderful Blair "imminent threat" scenario where he had Heathrow surrounded by tanks. How anyone can still lend any credence to those nefarious bastards is beyond me. As for submissively continuing to finance them by paying taxes, well, what can you say? 😳

The US: So, we keep hearing about something called Authoritarianism and we thought we'd give it a try, see how much of that we want to have.

The UK: Hold my pint

I cannot mark this essay as my union prohibits marking anonymous submissions, but if I could I would give it 100/100

Of course, the cops are just itching to have a go.

Forget the kindly bobby. These guys are the sort who would be waving their hands "pick me!" if the Gestapo were to have a booth on Career Day.

LMAO: a gestapo booth on career day. Great image. Who'd man it? Colonel Klink and Sergeant Schultz?

Same jerks as in the Met right now.

This further confirms both the 2023 and 2025 reports that declared the Met was “institutionally racist”

Just don’t put me in custody in Plumstead again. The cells are really cold - even in summer, and the fingerprint machine doesn’t work properly.

Yippee! Arresting news again!

You are brilliant, Laura! Stay safe. ❤️

This isn’t to be taken lightly-the fanatical sign makers are developing signs that can lay dormant for months and suddenly be read without warning.

And like Tony Blair’s “weapons of mass destruction”, be seen from thousands of miles away.

I'll tell you what's brilliant - you! Keep it up. Some days the absurdity is almost too much to bear, but then your work pointing it out is the only thing that makes me smile.

Are the UK politicians receiving as much money from a certain country as the American politicians? I'm not familiar with how that country influences the UK, if it is openly through "donations" or more backstage wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

It will be shown eventually that Epstein ran a massive blackmail operation on behalf of ISRAEL. And that is too hot to admit, EVER.!!! ?PROOF? What would both Biden and Trump want to cover up?? ... and the answer is: Israel-Epstein running a Honeytrap Blackmail operation on American soil !

Thoughts going to the guy arrested for holding the Plasticine Action sign. It's too, too bizarre.

We might best grasp that nothing in the psychopathic legal(/governmafia) mess is a Law. Everything in that system is a legalate, called "law" to get You to think You MUST obey. There are only three Laws...

The three Laws of Ethics (Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do):

1. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther

2. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone

3. Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)

We do not need to consent to the legal(ate) system...

Will we have to pay for all the brave policemen who afterwards claim to have PTSD and other mental health issues for arresting people who have killed zero people? I fear we probably will……

It’s what they do in Israel, our model here in the West.

In Canada our Chiefs of Police go on trips to Israel to learn "policing techniques"!
