White boys don’t want to have a giggling Russian girl sitting in an office in Bobrovka fly grenade-laden drones into their balls as they cower in a bog — and everyone knows why. Our leaders can’t admit it, of course, because to do so would reveal them as some of the stupidest people in all of world history to ever hold power. Morgoth pulls no punches. https://open.substack.com/pub/morgoth/p/conscription?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Whilst I shall have to read the judgment in full, at first blush this would appear to be yet another example of the UK legal system violating the ancient principle of "actus non facit reum, nisi mens sit rea". Loosely translated: "There can be no guilty act without a guilty mind". Here we see an example of a pernicious corruption within that elusive term of art, "the rule of law", inherent within the heart of "hate crime" legislation. That corruption is exemplified in the fact that the perceptions of a third party may now contribute towards determination of one's guilt. The rot was evident with the introduction of legislation criminalising possession of articles giving rise to a suspicion that they could be used for the commission, preparation, or instigation of an act of terrorism. No item, book, or manual would be directly criminalised for possession in and of itself, but by means of context that "intent" could be established. Likewise here, despite no single phrase on the stickers being in and of themselves illegal, it appears that a conviction has been sustained through deemed or perceived intent, as opposed to enquiry into the objective state of mind of the accused. Criminal intent now becomes an enquiry secondary to context; and the context is set by the System. The truth is, the game is now rigged from the start. The question is, how much longer do we play a rigged game? Or if forced to do so, why not just start cheating....?

By now, most people will have heard that Sam Melia was found guilty in Leeds Crown Court of inciting racial hatred by means of producing stickers. Over three hundred stickers were produced, and the prosecution admitted in the opening stages of the trial that the language used on the stickers was in fact lawful. The prosecution contended that despite the content of the stickers being lawful, they were produced as a body of work intended to stir up racial hatred. During the trial the jury was also reminded that it did not matter whether the content of the stickers was true, as the truth is no defence in such a case. This has to be one of the greatest miscarriages of justice we have ever witnessed, a body of work which was deemed 'lawful' and the content of which was all true, has resulted in a man being found guilty on the basis of his perceived motivations. My heart goes out to Sam, his pregnant wife Laura, their daughter Catherine and the rest of his family and loved ones. Whatever comes next, we will stand firmly by him and support Sam and Laura in any way we can.

It is increasingly the case that being a pirate is the best way to enjoy things

This could be done a lot easier, from a greater distance, and possibly negating the need for a two man team, by using a Yagi or other form of antenna with directional gain. I don't condone it.

Note from the wife. This either means the cats will not be hungry, or I should watch what I say in front of them...

The Chair of the UK National Police Chiefs' Council has become Britain's most senior serving officer to declare that its police forces are "institutionally racist". This is also the face of a man who has never fucked his wife in anything other than missionary position.
