Sadly this terminal case of brainworms is likely to end with a judge issuing a warrant for her arrest and her life getting all hosed up. Ah well.

I dunno, perhaps she would be responsive to the idea that yes, the authority of the UK court system is morally illegitimate but it is also real and will not hesitate to ruin you if you don't do what it wants and you can't get round it by waving the card you bought off the internet at the judge.

In much the same way that a man with a big stick threatening to take your knees off lacks moral legitimacy but also still has the stick.

I'd love to know what university he went to where you had to have "Marxist, socialist, or communist views" rather than mostly just being either standard liberals or reflexively for or against some pet issue, it sounds like a fascinating place.

In my experience sov cits only ever kinda realise they've hosed up when they're actually detained. I'll let you know how it pans out.

After all the talking to police chat earlier I am still unsure what type of solicitor you talk to when you've done a crime and want to get away with it. To avoid moral quandaries we can take a hypothetical unambiguous good that is also a crime, like maybe you played Iain Duncan Smith's head like a bongo and he uncoolly called the police on you and wants to press charges.

Thread moving fast this morning.

Like a lot of people, I saw a second ref as the only real route to maybe getting more liberal people on board, but I don't think any of us predicted how deliberately, pathetically, performatively dimwitted they would pretend to be, acting like monkeys staring at the monolith. That, along with them sinking the customs union plan, is what made me give up forever on the idea of the left being nice.

You go on the dark web, and then 6 weeks later a paralegal in beige linens hacks through kudzu into a clearing and kneels in the entrance of an adobe hut. "We need you back, Ace." He gruffly replies that he's done with that poo poo but then his eyes stray to the powdered wig hanging from the wall

There was a no masker in front of me in the queue in co op. At first I din't realise he wasn't wearing one. I was just looking around waiting for my turn.

I just heard him say something about "government doublespeak" in reply to the cashier who I am guessing asked him how he was doing.

It was all very awkward.

Remember that Labour lost over 2 million to the Lib Dems and Greens in 2019. Sticking with the (increasing unpopular) soft brexit plan might have meant keeping some of those north and Midlands seats but would have meant losing Putney, Plymouth, Canterbury etc. It's highly unlikely Labour would have come out ahead in that transaction especially as the majority of the membership would be demoralised by that plan.

They might have lost those voters, but if those voters had gone to the libdems and labour had kept the red wall, wouldn't that mean more votes away from the tories at least, even if it doesn't mean labour wins.
