The ICC (the war crime one, not the cricket one) is currently seeking arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas but more interestingly for Bibi and his defence minister. insha'Allah.

Can’t believe I missed that while looking for news on this from The Big British Castle:

With £14.7bn being spent on border controls so we can have blue passports.

I found a lovely spot with a bench under a tree, overlooking the Moray Firth, gorgeous day without actually getting direct sunshine to make it a bit uncomfortable. Ideal sort of weather really. Light breeze, blue skies, sunshine, but not actually over 20 degrees.

The view in the other direction is less appealing but similar weather, warm sun, cool breeze. Just wish I wasnt on a demo site. My seat is a septic tank and my tree is made of rebar.

Belated best wishes for Jaeluni Asjil, not just for the diagnosis but also having to be at The Grange which can feel like a nightmare. You might not be Welsh but you live in Wales and I feel some kinship with you for that!

Also some of you may remember a while back I had to throw someone out of my work gang who was a bit of an arsehole and he threatened to punch my head in next time he saw me on the street. Well I don't have to worry too much about that for the next few years has he has been given a 20 year sentence for sexual abuse of a child. So how is your Monday going?

Apparently the girl didn't really understand what was going on until the NSPCC visited her school and gave their PANTS presentation. After which she went home and told her mother what was going on. So big W for the NSPCC and the girl.

thought about making some quip about the tories wanting to ban this kind of ""sex education"" but mostly it's just terrifying to think what went unreported when kids didn't get taught this (and would go unreported again if they don't keep on getting taught it in future)

I figured that was part of the point behind all the scrapping LGBT rights/reproductive freedom/human rights/secular values/sex education movement.

That and eventually being able to openly talk about scrapping the race relations act.

Well also that this is a perfect example of 'kid was given the language to express what they were experiencing' and how the tories are currently trying to ban that happening for trans kids.

Government's official line is that the ICC don't have jurisdiction over Israel because the Israelis haven't agreed to it. Which is an utterly insane take and also undermines their own position on Putin's invasion of Ukraine because they are idiots.

I'd like to think that ~4% of those is the same 4% who answer that Obama is a secret lizard on polls to take to piss, but I know that a bunch of people saying that aren't taking the piss.

Absolute best case is that there's a fixed 5% of people who think "schools should just teach the three R's, sex education should be up to the parents" and never think that one through at all.

Also that children are property. Specifically of the parents, and the state is something something (probably Jewish or Masonic if you go far enough down that rabbit hole).

tbh if you're being dragged off to Nuremburg that's not a bad outcome, it's still just Den Haag you don't wanna go to

And a non-trivial percentage of those is probably because they have depraved thoughts or intentions towards kiddos.

loving hell I just saw the most dangerous bit of driving I've ever seen. Going down the a21 dual carriageway in Kent, I'm in a long line of cars in the right hand lane going 70ish, all overtaking a tractor, when a ford fiesta comes up at probably around 110mph, undertaking the queue, obviously hasn't spotted the tractor (by this point I'm just saying 'oh my god oh my god oh my god' out loud cos I'm convinced I'm about to witness an absolutely hideous collision), the fiesta is forced to veer onto the hard shoulder /verge, just misses the tractor by literally about a foot, then speeds on its way. I was genuinely shaking after this, it was just loving nuts.

I know acab and everything, but is there anyway this sort of thing can be reported (without getting a reg)? The idea that someone like that is on the roads is just.. Out there and driving like this is absolutely terrifying.

Without a dash cam recording even with a registration they will do gently caress all.

Unfortunately the state of driving in this country is just very poor. Cameras are not a replacement for traffic officers so bad driving goes completely unpunished.

I had someone mount the berm on the offramp to dalton park coming down the A19, undertake a van in front of me by offroading at a 30 degree tilt along the earthworks that hold the bridge up, then careen back across both lanes into the right lane and rocket off at 100mph.

How they managed to do it without ripping the wheels off the car I don't know. Was only a little hatchback.
