@haloaerospace@Maybe_Mel_ Voters care. Reform say will stop the boats, increase deportations, find 30k more police officers and be better than Labour. No such policies that I can see.
@Clyde_29X@MrWinMarshall As somebody who teaches law and criminal justice, that is your interpretation. Advice is taken from your lawyer. She said she understood the choice & the seriousness. The sentencing report is available. He walked free after electing for trial and a jury found him not guilty.
@DaveMichael163@Mackenz81935556@BANKSY14WORDS@JamesPGoddard90@kate10466_ It wasn’t a Labour MP, it was a councillor. He elected for trial, pleaded not guilty and jury of his peers made the decision to acquit. Connolly also had a solicitor/barrister, decided to plead guilty, knowing she would end up in custody.
@Clyde_29X@MrWinMarshall No charge? The Labour councillor was tried and found not guilty by a jury of his peers. Connolly chose to plead guilty, so no trial.
I knew this kind of nonsense would be on here today.
Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.
Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.
It’s completely unforgivable.
@HolyroodDaily@Nigel_Farage The only ‘two-tier’ in this case is those who will side with the family’s wishes and let them grieve and those who make it a political point.
