So apparently I can say this now; I am like 99% sure this was the guy that attacked my friend at one of the protests outside a hotel housing refugees earlier this year an got me arrested for affray (released without charge). Bristol antifascists K/D ratio remains immaculate.

Kneecap waving a flag thrown onto the stage at a gig is terrorism, heavily reported in Britain and debated in the Commons.
Loyalists putting * live pipe bombs * on people's cars to terrorise a sport club into shutting down is not terrorism, and ignored in Britain.
And he'll only do 18 months.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

The objective is to signal that they hate foreigners
Mahmood/government should say explain *objective* of increasing time to settlement for 15 years for care workers who arrived 2022-24
Is it
A) to get them to leave? Why?
B) to save money? Then why not just restrict benefits?
C) to "encourage integration"? How? Will do opposite.

15 years for people in medium skilled jobs and care workers too. I believe this goes down to 10 years if they earn over £50,270. Someone in a high skilled job earning over that qualifies in 5 years.

My read on this is that:
- the police did exceed their powers and Robinson was justified in refusing to comply
- it's absurd that being a notorious racist is presented as a protected characteristic and the judge is suspiciously keen to accept it
- the police did exceed their powers and Robinson was justified in refusing to comply
- it's absurd that being a notorious racist is presented as a protected characteristic and the judge is suspiciously keen to accept it
The District Judge doesn't consider each of the 5 limbs of Grainger, neither does he set out what Tommy Robinson said his beliefs were. How does this lead to a conclusion of Robinson having a protected belief?
![Grainger criteria
To qualify as a 'philosophical belief' under the Equality Act, the belief must satisfy the five criteria set out at para 24 in Grainger plc v Nicholson [2010] and mirrored in the Equality and Human Rights Commission Code of Practice 2011. These are that:
The belief must be genuinely held
The belief must not simply be an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available
The belief must concern a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour
The belief must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance
The belief must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not be incompatible with human dignity and not be in conflict with the fundamental rights of others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:noqaydlcbia5upq6va2p2znw/bafkreicpkdn4wmcoj44fknn72dkeds6q56xdrul32kqmq4bv25sa7cowmi@jpeg)
