Did you hear the one about the employment tribunal that decided that asking someone "What are you smoking" is rac----ist, and grounds upon which to sue?

Only problem is, it isn't a joke, lol.

A society that now believe such innocuous comments online are worthy of intervention from the counter terrorism unit is on a slippery slope imo nom.

Take a look at the second video. Arrested and locked up for eight hours.

Parents of a disabled child who simply disagreed with school policy on WhatsApp, chatting privately with friends.

Scary stuff!

Parents, Rosalind Levine and Maxie Allen arrested for comments about their daughter's school.

Police raid their home before being locking them in a cell for eight hours without explanation, before being accused of sending malicious messages.

Spoiler alert. The messages were not remotely malicious, lol.

Man reported to counter terror police for saying pitchforks.

Geoff Thompson made a joke about the Malvern Hills Trust on YouTube. The Trust Boss believes the joke could have catastrophic consequences, lol.

The video contains Geoff's joke.

He's a harmless car blogger who has been critical of various Labor policies.

Gov fostering an environment where people seem to think others dont have the right to disagree, hence these ludicrous accusations are on the increase.

Tro,

Yeah, HartlepoolBob seemed to be busy growing vegetables and very active. He may have simply stopped posting having bailed on PRD after the recent drill though. GRH started selling, which may have contributed.

Yeah, hardcore Labour.

Guy sounds like an aspiring terrorist to me nom.

They have form on the issue.

In a recent BBC documentary, each time Palestinians spoke about killing Jews, and Jihad, the BBC altered the translation to mask the rac----ist intent behind their words.

Quite appalling misdirection from the national broadcaster imo. I cant think of more blatant example of creating a false narrative to deceive the public.

Thanks evi.

Tro,

HartlepoolBob, also not posting.

Not long before mick stopped posting, i got muddled up with someone else and thought he had some health issue. I asked mick about it, and he replied that he was fine, no health issues.

Hopefully mick got to visit family over Christmas, and they had some happy time together.

Tro,

How long ago was that?

Samer Elzaenen, a BBC journalist who does live reports for the station:

Facebook post in July 2022: “When things go awry for us, shoot the Jews, it fixes everything.”

Facebook in May 2011: “My message to the Zionist Jews: We are going to take our land back, we love death for Allah’s sake the same way you love life. We shall burn you as Hitler did, but this time we won’t have a single one of you left.”

“#We Are All Hamas You Son of a Jewess”

Describes more than 30 attacks on Jewish civilians with glee, describing the perpetrators as "heroic"

February 2023: Palestinian terrorist killed two boys aged eight and six and a 20-year-old man, Elzaenen said the victims “will soon go to hell”.

On Holocaust Memorial Day in January 2023, Ahmed Qannan, another journalist working for the BBC, expressed his hope that Israelis wounded in a shooting near a Jerusalem synagogue would perish.

Facebook: “We want to see some throats cut”, Qannan replied: “Don’t give up on your ambition”.

Qannan, March 2022: Palestinian terrorist who killed four civilians and a police officer, described as a “hero”.

"One of the world's rarest trees - dubbed the dinosaur tree - is bearing fruit for the first time in a garden in Worcestershire.

Gardeners are hoping the evergreen in Wichenford, Malvern, can be propagated to help the endangered species.

Fossils have shown the Wollemi pine dates back more than 90 million years, but it was thought to be extinct until several were found in a remote valley in Australia in 1994."

"The EU’s starting point is visas lasting up to four years, with no overall cap on the number issued. It will also demand an exemption from the NHS surcharge that migrants have to pay. And it wants the same university tuition fees as British students pay." Sounds expensive.

"The right to work, study, train or volunteer." Is essentially temporary FOM. Expect the route into the UK to be heavily abused. New arrivals to Europe from Africa and the Middle East are big fans of our public services.

Tro,

Message for you from ArielArrow, 12.07pm.

"The IMF’s downgrade in Britain’s growth projections was mainly as a result of “UK-specific factors” rather than tariffs, the organisation’s chief economist has said.

Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas said tariffs “are playing a role” as well as “uncertainty” but that domestic factors were the “biggest” reason behind its reduced growth forecast."

"UK inflation is expected to average 3.1pc this year, the highest in the G7 and above the US at 3pc, despite global warnings that higher tariffs will send US prices soaring. UK inflation is expected to ease back to 2.2pc in 2026, below America’s rate of 2.5pc.

He said the reason for this was “from domestic factors in particular some change in regulated energy prices”.

“That’s expected to be temporary but also very UK specific.

“The effect of the tariffs on countries like the UK, like it is in the EU or China, is a negative demand shock. It’s weakening activity but it is also lowering price pressures, not increasing them.”

IMF,

"Britain’s growth prospects have been cut by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as it warned Rachel Reeves could not single out Donald Trump’s trade war for the downturn.

The IMF said UK government policies were stoking price pressures and would push Britain’s inflation rate to the highest in the G7. It means inflation in the UK will outstrip the US rate even as the president continues his tariffs onslaught."

Tro,

Great tip about leaks!

HH88,

Lols :)
