Sorry again for that - digital hugs. 120 During the Sarikamis Battle, the Ottoman army runs out of ammunition and appeals to the people of Van for help, who happen to have supplies. However, the First World War is on and all men are fighting at four corners of the empire and therefore can not respond to to the appeal.

grobbo posted:I wasn't offended, but if it helps shine any light, I did empathise with your acquaintance a bit when I read your post. Actually this resonates a lot with me. I've often wondered if I might be 'spectrum' but have never sought a diagnosis and now I'm in my 60s never will. But I do find social occasions utterly exhausting exactly in the way you describe here.

My mum was a Special Educational Needs Coordinator back when she was working and I remember in my teens asking her if maybe I'm autistic and she laughed harder than I'd seen her laugh in a while. Turns out that no, while I displayed many of the commonly ascribed negative stereotypes of autism (not all accurate, but I wasn't to know at that age), I am apparently extremely allistic. I'm just obnoxious.

If you're an autistic teenager who doesn't want to mask (or wants to un-mask) that's fine, because presumably there will be people around you who can support you to explain why you don't demonstrate neurotypical behaviours. If you're an adult who doesn't want to mask (or wants to un-mask) that's also fine, but it is your responsibility to explain why you don't demonstrate neurotypical behaviours in the event that this causes a problem for you, if you want to avoid the problem. It is also important - as someone else pointed out - that we don't infantilise autistic people. It is very possible to be autistic and also be a dickhead intentionally.

This should be the easiest thing in the world for him to get out of: "like many, I was taken in by the Post Office's cover-up of the Horizon failings; knowing what I do now I would not have taken up any of these prosecutions. I can only apologise to those who we wrongfully prosecuted and support a blanket pardon" Doesn't have to mention compensation, and if asked just say that a cross-party committee should see justice done. But I'm guessing that Mr Human Rights will instead double down.

If I unmask it'd shitcan my job and drastically mess up the mental health of those around me who rely on my support, so I can't really. It's all so very draining, but learning that it IS what was draining me helped a shitload regardless as you can just stop and go "wait, I need a break" and politely excuse yourself most times. Different for everyone though. I have ADHD as well so I basically ping pong all over the loving shop.

The times do overlap but not by much as the prosecutions were already looking dodgy by the time he was there. So the lady handing back her CBE is more getting it in the neck for the sort of cover up and refusal to say they did anything wrong cos again she was kind of there later than the bulk of prosecutions.

edit. oh theres some weird chris bryant stuff going on. Back on post Office stuff tho... I can't find enough details, like a year by year break down of prosecutions or by whom they were made. What does seem to be apparent is that by mid-2009 there had been 525 prosecutions made since 1999/2000. Starmer had been director of public Prosecutions for a year by then. There would be a further 211 prosecutions until they stopped in 2015. Starmer remained director for 4 more years until 2013. That was using the figure of 736 prosecutions but more people have come forward since the telly programme and the guardian is now talking about over 900. This one was definitely on his watch though and not a private post office prosecution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal#R_v_Seema_Misra_%E2%80%93_October_2010 Of the 93 cases so far overturned, the Post Office was not the prosecutor in 5 of them. This could have been to do with Scotland though. I have no idea what control Starmer had over all the private prosecutions that make up the vast bulk of them or whether it was in his remit to identify and question that the formerly public organisation was now a private prosecutor, investigator and victim all in one. But someone should ask him. Also lol that the whole time it was a coalition government, it was a lib dem who was post office minister.

I hate that the latest round of tabloid bullshit almost seems like it was written by follow back pro keith people. "Keir stopped this killer getting hanged, this is bad" and "ignore Fujitsu writing dogshit service agreements that had their reps logging into subpostmaster's accounts and making changes in their name, here's Keir!" are obvious bad faith moves to cover for capital punishment nonces and lovely corporate governance (and it's funny how nobody seems to combine the two and want hanging for CFOs) but it's all they want to attack Starmer rather than his actual obvious failings, to the point where people who care about the rule of law or corporate accountability feel the need to defend him.

To be honest though didn't we all expect the press to start turning on Starmer despite how much he was cosying up to them as soon as a general election was on the horizon? Regardless of how much merit anecdotes/accusations have, they'll fling enough poo poo in the hope as much sticks as possible.

"Starmer worked pro bono to oppose the death penalty" and "Starmer prosecuted cases with the evidence handed to him" are the kind of things that people making him out to be a reasonable moderate would come out with though, so running them as some kind of gotcha in the sex arse papers feels almost like a deception.
