  1. Who Voted for Lord Denning? – When the Street Cross-Examined the Bench by Lawson Akhigbe

    The slogan gained prominence in the aftermath of the Birmingham pub bombings and the subsequent conviction of six Irish men the now infamous Birmingham Six. Their case quickly became a lightning rod for allegations of coerced confessions, police misconduct, and a justice system more interested in closure than correctness.

  2. Did You Tell Them to Rescue the Kidnapped? Nigeria’s Politicians, Generals and the Confusion Between Policy and Operations by Lawson Akhigbe

    There are some moments in political history that survive long after the politicians involved have left office. Not because of a great speech. Not because of a great policy. But because somebody asked a very simple question and refused to let it escape through the nearest political fire exit.

  3. "The Supreme Court has just granted Trump the right to litigate. And the ruling is downright infuriating. This is what you need to know about the legal doctrine known as jurisdiction."

  4. WHEN THE FINE OUTLASTS THE SENTENCE: NIGERIA’S DIPLOMACY OF THE UNCOMPELLED By Lawson Akhigbe

    Ambassador Yakubu Gambo did Nigeria the rare courtesy of telling the truth in public, which in the diplomatic trade counts as a small scandal in itself. Standing before Abike Dabiri-Erewa at NiDCOM’s Abuja headquarters, he confirmed what families of the detained have known for years without an official ever saying it plainly: Nigerians who have finished serving their Saudi jail terms remain locked up anyway, held hostage to fines they cannot pay and a government that has not worked out how to pay them either. He framed it as a welfare concern, a matter for coordination and consolidation of diaspora associations under one umbrella. It is, more accurately, a description of a state that has run out of leverage and is calling the shortfall a strategy.

  9. The People Did Vote for Mass Immigration – Through Parliament by Lawson Akhigbe

    One of the most persistent slogans of Britain’s political far right is the claim that “the people did not vote for mass immigration.” It is a phrase repeated endlessly in television studios, social media posts, and political rallies. It sounds persuasive. It sounds democratic. It is also fundamentally wrong.

  10. Most. Corrupt. Racist. Incompetent. President of the USA

    In his farewell address to the American people in 1989, Ronald Reagan spoke of America as a "shining city upon a hill"—a beacon of freedom, opportunity, democracy, and prosperity. The phrase itself was borrowed from a much older tradition, but Reagan made it uniquely American. The United States was not merely a powerful nation; it was an example to others. A place where institutions mattered, where the rule of law prevailed, and where anyone, regardless of background, could aspire to succeed

  11. The Law Is a Blunt Instrument by Lawson Akhigbe

    In the fearful months and years following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Western democracies faced an unenviable dilemma. Their citizens demanded protection from an enemy that recognised no borders, wore no uniforms and deliberately targeted civilians.

  12. The Shell Company of the Republic: How the Board of Peace Became Trump Organization Foreign Division By Lawson Akhigbe

    Start with the constitutional oddity sitting in plain sight. The Board's Charter names Donald Trump personally not the office of the President, not the United States as a state party, but Donald J. Trump as inaugural Chairman, with a term that survives his presidency. He can only be removed through voluntary resignation or a unanimous vote of the Executive Board finding him incapacitated, and he alone selects his successor. No sitting president inherits the chair by virtue of the office; a future occupant of the Oval Office might find themselves outranked, within an organisation their own government helped charter, by a private citizen of their predecessor's choosing.

  13. @marcelias The main reason lawless sociopath Trump is unjustifiably running for public office again is his desire to evade justice & the Rule of Law once more.
    Decrying "election interference" he admits to abusing democratic elections as a vehicle to shield him from justice, criminal prosecution & indictment.

    Never again must he be allowed to rape U.S. democratic electoral process to evade accountability & justice.
    Never again must he be allowed to hold any public office in the United States.
    Never will Trump be able to meet any of the constitutional & legal requirements a holder of public office is obliged to comply with.

    Believe Mary Trump, Donald J. Trump's niece

  14. @Sunspot Actually it shouldn't be that hard to protect the people & their democracy against fellas like Trump & DeSantis:

    Barring sociopaths from running for & holding public offices needs to become law of the land.

    Checking if a person is old enough & was born in the U.S. delivers no protection against personified national security threats.😉

  15. @barb Did Trump already claim to have deantiquitized the artifacts?

    Israel should report the thief-in-chief for theft.

  16. @Brutus Reminder: Trump is not a politician & he shouldn't be normalized as a kind of politician.
    He is a career criminal, who pretends to be running for the highest office of the land, for the sole reason to evade justice & accountability, like he did from 2017 to 2021 (shielded by the DOJ he compromised), when he violently tried to go on being protected against justice & accountability.

  17. @DemocritusDiscoBall @EarthOne In fact it's not really stochastic, but rather the compulsory result of Trump's antisocial personality disorder — which already should've been reason enough to bar him from running for any public office in the United States.

    But take a look at Mayo Clinic's description of sociopaths like Trump:
    "...
    Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.

    Individuals with antisocial personality disorder ***often violate the law, becoming criminals***. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school.

  18. Right after Jan 6 sociopath Trump should have been cut off from *any opportunity* to publicly incite & call for violence & death of people either dissenting with him or investigating & prosecuting his extremely harmful sociopathic actions.
    That individual is a persistent danger to the public, their state & their government.
    To protect all of them he should already be in preventive detention.

  19. The guy, who was appointed "fucking moron"-in-chief by his former Sec of State Tillerson, left Florida courtroom after pleading *not guilty* yesterday, only to openly admit a couple of hours later in Bedminster, NJ, that he stole all these federal (classified) documents, because he felt he had the power to loot them.

    Not a valid defense, but an admission to the charges.

    P.S.: Where's Trump's priority list ranking the potential sales value of the stolen national security docs?

  20. Dr. Dodes's accurate analysis naturally implies, that Trump will never be able to abide by the provision of Article II of the Constitution, which says:

    "...he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,..."

    "...
    The easiest way to understand Donald Trump is to think of him as a serial killer or a monster. The word "monster" means a creature without empathy, without caring, willing to kill or maim or hurt or destroy anything in its path for its own purposes, a sadistic creature lacking normal human capacities

  21. @terrygrundy @beatnikprof "MAGA" summed up:

    "Freedom" from commonly accepted human laws, rules, norms & values, as incorporated by their golden MAL calf.

    Cruelty & grievances is the meth of Trump's cult of Antisocial Personality Disorder (sociopathy).

  22. The following analysis also applies Trump & his sociopathic claims he had all the rights to the federal documents he stole & stashed in his estates:
    "...
    When he says, “I had the largest crowd at an inauguration in history,” it does not matter that you can tell him that it is not true, he still insists on it. Well, that is very troublesome because what it means is that he needs to believe it. He is able to give up reality in exchange for his wished-for belief. Sometimes we call that a delusion. We have not used that word much with Donald Trump because that does get confused with people who think that they are Napoleon. But Trump has a fluid sense of reality, which is a sign of a very sick individual.

    Sociopathy itself is a sign of a very sick individual, someone with a lying, cheating and emotional disorder. The intersection of those two occurs in sociopathy. It is not just bad behavior that people have to lie and cheat the way he does, it is an incapacity to treat other people as full human beings.

  23. When excellent mental health professionals tell you, that dangerous sociopathic monsters don't belong in any public office you'd better believe them!
    And "you" includes professional news outlets & media, too.

    "...
    At the beginning of his first presidential campaign, Trump said that he could kill somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and get away with it. That tells you how this man's mind works. What happens to another person's life means nothing to him. How many people's lives has he ruined in one way and another? That's what he does. The easiest way to understand Donald Trump is to think of him as a serial killer or a monster. The word "monster" means a creature without empathy, without caring, willing to kill or maim or hurt or destroy anything in its path for its own purposes, a sadistic creature lacking normal human capacities. There's nothing shocking about Trump's behavior when you see him for the fundamentally disordered person that he truly is.

    Trump urgently needs to be separated from the public — to protect & save people's lives!
