Jose posted:seems its not just QCs with brainworms its the entire legal profession Jackie Walker (vice chair of Momentum) claiming Bastani has done this to her, but with no links or evidence except a link to an article someone else wrote that makes no such claim. Also getting weirdly flagtastic on her twitter page, not familiar enough to know if it's irony. Rachel Riley has apparently managed to shut down AAV with an injunction while she strings out a case for as long as possible. The other dude she's suing has managed to raise over 120k in legal funds, but now Riley's lawyers are trying to get his funding pages shut down for 'repeating libelous accusations.' Various people commenting on all of the above, either missing the point and deciding to go full antisemitism, or pull lefty slurs on Bastani. Everyone is being a twat today, so I am going to walk the dog and try not to let it bring me down.

This is going to be one of those things where they're going to claim he threatened to burn him, isn't it? I was once 'asked to attend' a police station for threatening to kick someone via email. They were joining in being a dick to a friend who had a fuckton of things going wrong, mostly because of them. The phrase I actually used was that I hoped one day [the recipient] would understand what it was like to have everyone kicking them while they were down. The police officer basically said I'd threatened to kick her, refused to read the email or take the quote in context or listen to any attempt at explaination, he just worked from the assumprion that I'd said that. When I refused to accept the informal caution (don't know the correct legal term but basically a talking-to that's not on my record), he said if I wanted to dispute it they could make it a formal charge so I could dispute it in court. I couldn't afford to fight it in court, so now I probably have a note on PNC or some cop database that i threatened to kick someone.

not a huge fan of novara but if bastani sues rachel riley i feel like i'm obligated to toss a 5er into his legal fund for the pure banter. it would be genuinely hilarious to see her radicalisation land her in court, all because david collier was feeling especially confident and horny online back in 2018.

What's the start of her insanity anyway? I'm assuming that at some point she was just a normal TV presenter. Olberman has always given off an extreme Karen vibe, my theory is that playing the rear end in a top hat market manager on Eastenders every day rewired her brain into actually wanting to be a dick to everyone, then twitter came along and gave her the perfect place to do it.

I just learned that there's actually offences specifically concerning saying poo poo about military personnel in counter-terror legislation, could be one of them. More likely imo that the coppers are just hitting him with some bullshit to send a message, knowing that he'll probably just accept a slap on the wrist, regardless of whether the charges make any sense or not (because like gently caress does Plod know a drat thing about the law in this area) e: here's a relevant statutory provision that Plod probably would have heard of, but without the slightest understanding what "grossly offensive, ... obscene or menacing" mean in this context Borrovan fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Feb 8, 2021 |

I have difficulty dealing with the fact that the same comedy vehicle spawned him, and Stuart Lee. Then again it also spawned Hugh Dennis, and TMWRNJ spawned centrism elemental Richard Herring, so who's to say what anything means.

Have you got Stewart Lee confused with Rob Newman (who is also a holder of Correct Opinions)? Baddiel came up through Footlights and was a TV writer for various ITV comedies before The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Lee came up through the Oxford Revue and wrote for Radio 4 comedies, particularly On The Hour, before Lee and Herring. AFAIK they've never actually worked together on anything substantial.

Interesting that the only 2 still basically sound, reasonably high profile comedians - Chris Morris and Stu Lee - came through the same show. There are a few other sound comedians - Josie Long, Alexei Sayle, Francesca Martinez, Mark Thomas - though none of those get high profile work anymore really. Can anybody think of any others?

Bobby Deluxe posted:Mark Thomas is someone who - if anyone can really have this said of them - really should have started a podcast by now. His newsletter was incredible in the early days of email, back when people were using it as a proto RSS and before corporate spam reduced it to another notification to mute when you get a new phone. Mark Thomas is superb, and if anyone hasn't seen him yet they should. He's not only extremely Correct and funny, but his shows are a lot more than just stand up, more like a kind of politics based storytelling about his experiences and activism. And incidentally, he has a streaming event tomorrow that you should all check out: quote:Check Up: Our NHS@70

Bobby Deluxe posted:This is going to be one of those things where they're going to claim he threatened to burn him, isn't it? From what you are describing, it's probably an Adult Caution. (Assuming that you have those things over in Tanland.) It basically is supposed to involve the police giving you a Stern Talking To, but nothing further happens. (Apart from maybe a note on a file saying that you received an Adult Caution) Occasionally even after a case has been entered into the system, a judge can recommend that an accused be offered an Adult Caution, they adjourn the case to allow the accused to go to a police station receive said caution then the case get's thrown out. Often they happen in situations where the reason the person refused the Adult Caution was because they were so drunk at the time that they refused to accept it. My advice whenever it comes up is always take this if offered. Yes, they may have some of the facts wrong and you might have been totally in the right. But you are left without a criminal conviction, but with a file. If you want to fight the case, even if you win (and sometimes that can be a big if) the best case is you are left without a criminal conviction but there will be even more of a file on you. Consider what the end goal you want is, and how best to get to it.
