  3. Peter Hain says #UK govt digging itself into hole over #Palestine Action

    If legal challenge to proscription is successful, it would be a mercy to all, including the government

  10. These were the weeks in 1649 when #JohnMilton was writing the tenure of #kings and #magistrates pointing out that many #people love a #tyrant because they love not #freedom but #license which never hath more scope or more indulgence than under #tyrants

  13. "Twelve warrants were checked at random from the stack of 131 applications. Two failed, ten passed, and then 129 warrants were approved en masse."
    So most likely, they mass approved 21 warrants they should have refused. This is not how the Courts should be operating.

  15. @ExtinctionR the usual directive to #magistrates is to modify a sentence downwards if the original sentence is unworkable. If no other factors are involved then #prison would not be an option otherwise it would have been imposed or suspended at the first instance. The only way that prison could be imposed is if the defendant refused to accept a lower penalty. I suspect #misinformation or #disinformation is at work here.

  17. CW: Sexual assault

    "The magistrate ruled “not guilty”. In summing up how he reached his decision, he explained that to be found guilty would have a huge impact on the man’s life, and while he was sure I intended to be reliable, there was a very real possibility that as I was pregnant I was in a heightened emotional state and could not be relied on to give an accurate account."

    WTF

    And then there is another failed safeguard in the #AmericanExperiment, #TermLimits, not just for #POTUS.
