This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'
Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Ok, so just check my understanding here. You claim she is being maltreated (but not assaulted), but as she's (so you claim) a multimillionaire, that doesn't matter (for unspecified reasons), and that anyway, she deserves it? Got you. Bye.
robgalpin.bsky.social
Oh, that's right, you only scornfully asked for evidence that she was being maltreated, which is not the same thing at all
robgalpin.bsky.social
Oh wait, you think she is getting maltreated now?
robgalpin.bsky.social
Yeah it was a very brave thing to do, hope she's OK

Starmer's stooges parachuted themselves into constituencies they had no connection to.

This is the result!

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.
