"When you control the language, you control the argument"
Friday 4 November 2022
‘I’m happy he’s now been convicted, but it shouldn’t have taken third-party intervention to have got to this point.’
Well, no, indeed it shouldn't. But it seems that's what it now takes for our achingly-woke police farce to do their job:
A woman who took a picture of a teenager who groped her at a bus station was staggered to be told by police that the case would be shelved – due to a lack of evidence. The force reopened the investigation only after the 25-year-old victim passed on her photographs of the tagged groper to her local newspaper.
When a journalist contacted Derbyshire Police, officers issued a public appeal and within days, Daniel Oakes had been arrested.
And their excuse this time?
Derbyshire Police initially claimed that a ‘full and proportionate’ investigation had taken place, but that ‘no offender was able to be identified’ – causing the case to be ‘filed’.
However, police later said that although it had been earmarked for filing, it first needed a sergeant to review whether ‘the images were of good enough quality for an identification to be made’.
The pictures are crystal clear. Why did it need a 'review' to determine that? And the police weren't the only ones failing in their duty:
The victim said that she had been left feeling ‘isolated and alone’ as a result of the response from police and a security guard at Derby bus station, who had threatened to remove her when she reported the sex assault. She was told to ‘stop being childish’ and get on her bus.
Wait, what?!
The victim said: ‘I experienced a significant lack of help and support from not only the police, but the security staff at the bus station, who dealt with the matter very poorly.’ She added: ‘I was treated like the crazy one. I needed help and none was given.’
I wonder if that's a response to the continual flow of false accusations? Or did the guard simply feel that it was easier to bully a lone woman than tackle a (potentially armed) youth?

Brazil is the litmus test
When the majority of the people are behind you, and you do not have the courage to lead, then it is over for you and for them. The devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. If you resist him, he flees. If you surrender to him, he devours you.
These fools, like Bosonaro and Trump, try to play the long game. You must resist the devil. The devil wins in the long game, versus mortals.
A Brazilian called Rica wrote:
I live in Brazil. He did not concede. He chose his words carefully There is a lot going on behind the scenes. We are waiting to see. It is not over.

Never Mind, Dafydd, Better Luck Next Time...
Dafydd Roberts, defending, told the court: "It is clear alcohol was an inhibiting factor in relation to the offending. He no longer drinks any alcohol. His mental health was problematic during the course of this relationship. Since then he has improved his mental health significant (sic) and he feels in a far more stable position.
"There is a very distinct difference between the Louis Costes who appears before the court today and the one who behaved in the way he did. He has been slow to grow up but he is now showing elements that he is growing up and changing his ways."
Oh, right, well, I suppose that's just this side of plausi...
A statement read out on Ms Jones' behalf said: "Before, I was a happy young mother who enjoyed spending time with her child and family. At the beginning of the relationship, we were happy and we got along like a house on fire.
"It wasn't long, after a couple of months or so, that it all began to go downhill. I got so stressed and anxious I would throw up."
But Costes interrupted, saying "this is all f***ing lies, I'm sick of this s*** - joke" while sat with his arms folded. He then began crying.
Whoops!
Sentencing, Recorder Mark Ford KC said: "It is apparent to me that your remorse is rather limited and that you have sought throughout this case to minimise the nature of your conduct. You reacted with distain to what she said.
"I have no doubt that, at the time, the victim of your offending was terrified. You are a jealous, impulsive man unable to control yourself - as you demonstrated all too clearly before me."
I bet Dafydd has used that same argument every time. I wonder if he will again?

Still Think He's Absolutely Not Suffering From Dementia..?
President Biden announced a new crackdown on...
Ooooh, wait, wait!
...what he describes as 'junk fees' to ease inflation pressures, including surprise legroom charges that he says affect 'low-income folks and people of color' the most.
Wait, what...?
'Some airlines if you want six more inches between you and the seat in front you pay more money, but you don't know it until you purchase your ticket,' Biden griped in remarks Wednesday. 'Look folks, these are junk fees are unfair and the hidden marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low income folks, and people of color.'
Did he just call all minority people in the US fat..?
Some scratched their heads at Biden making legroom charges a race issue.
Umm, well, yes!
Instead of hitting the campaign trail, Biden is pushing out messaging from the White House that those worries are being heard.
Translation: his handlers daren't let him leave the White House. Not to visit any of the 54 states...

The Price of Everything, and the Value of Nothing
The price of that Bacon pack is £3.50. Nine months ago, that same Bacon pack could be bought for £1.95.
Some sixty-six years ago, I commenced work as an apprentice.
My first week’s paypacket came to the equivalent, in todays Decimal currency, of £3.25.
It's Our Money She's Won..!
The Met Police has paid out £10,000 in damages to a Christian evangelist preacher for wrongful arrest and unlawful imprisonment.
Hatun Tash was twice arrested at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park after reporting to officers that she was being harassed and threatened by Islamic demonstrators.A good win for freedom of speech? Yes, undoubtedly. But the police aren't paying it, are they?
