I love how much this implies about the sort of wingnut he is and the bullshit his lawyer had to stop him doing.

Sounds like the lawyer kept trying and either got the boot because Johnny Chew reckons he knows more about the law and got real mad about the lawyer trying to be a fancy law-talking guy, or the lawyer literally had to quit because continuing to represent someone so unbelievably thick and convinced of his own genius was going to be severely detrimental to his law practice in future.

Either way amazing lmaos.

e; in 1990 the fall of the Warsaw Pact really gathered steam and by the end of the year, the end of History was well in sight on the horizon.

The part that I found amazing in all that is that the Court Services just let him dial into his case over Zoom without knowing where he is.

Like over here, all video link situations are being done in specific locations that they know in advance (from Prisons, Garda Stations, Court buildings.)

But this could literally have flown to Bermuda, says he has Covid and has to attend his trial by Zoom and nobody seems to have verified where he is.
Like if he is convicted over this and he's not in the country, they are going to have a hard time imposing a sentence. And this fellow doesn't strike me as having enough of an inherent respect for the legal system to just turn up if he gets potted.

I've recently discovered this early 20th century Soviet avant-garde 'electronic' music. Very interesting. Something different to mull over anyway while we're all semi-incarcerated again.
The first one (Worker's funeral) and the last (tractor arrival at the kolkhoz) are short.

This was a city wide performance involving ships trains etc and Avraamov had to conduct it using two flaming torches. One of these two has the internationale being sung quietly in the background from about half way through, I can't remember which! (Just checked, it's the Industrial Horns one).

That's true however I think he also has enough belief in his own brilliant understanding of the legal system that he wouldn't see any need whatsoever to flee

I'm guessing this comes down to "said something on TV as a matter of unsourced opinion, someone on Twitter with a few hundred followers gave a different opinion, thereby cancelling her forever, what happened to debate, etc."

ML is 100% pro killing Palestinians.

I remember a few years ago on a leftist group on Facebook (mostly older people who were new to the whole social media thing - old school socialists who came back to Labour when Corbyn was elected) someone posted that ML was intelligent enough to understand the difference between anti-zionism and anti-semitism and was shocked to discover that she is 100% anti-Palestinian (and if you could get more than 100%, she'd be more).

Right now ML's career is narrating the most Male Author misogynistic poo poo on audible and Coronation Street. Which says a lot about how hard she is to work with given that her theatre and TV workmates in the 1980s included Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, everyone who worked on harry potter and so on.

To be fair, he is a better choice for PM than Boris. In the same way that Biden was a better choice for President than Trump. There are very few people who belong less in the position than either of them, but in both cases one of them is/was the incumbent.

You'd be surprised.
One case I was involved in had a witness arguing with a senior counsel about what the legal distinction between burglary and aggravated burglary.

The witness insisted that agg burglary was just if they caught you with a screw driver when you were trying to burglaries a place.
The SC tried to explain that aggravated burglary was when you armed yourself with a weapon during the course of a burglary, but the witness disputed all of this.

The witness was a prisoner serving a sentence foe aggravated burglary.
