@TomTugendhat Given the council in his constituency have just been taken over by Reform - you’d think he’d be more focussed on what his own party need to do better. He has a habit of showing himself up on ‘X’ .
Hello @JoshFG As My Calderdale Labour MP, I am appalled that you have signed the EDM to challenge the EHRC’s code of practice.
I expect all elected officials to respect the law.
Why do you think men like this should be allowed in female-only spaces?
Sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith, to Ilia Belov
"For a number of reasons I find your evidence to be wholly unconvincing and self-serving"
Ilia Belov and Nadjedzha Belova 👇
It's the 5 year anniversary of being worthy of respect in a democratic society ☺️
(Thanks @MrMennoTweets for the cake and the forthcoming podcast)
Fear is contagious, but so is courage.
Freedom of speech is so important. Use it or lose it!
THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT
She let child rapist Daniel Cieslak, who raped a 12-YEAR-OLD girl, WALK FREE from her courtroom. But guess what? Not only that!
She gave him an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE, despite him pleading GUILTY.
She also sparked outrage by praising Algerian rapist Hamadache Hamza for settling in Britain and setting up a hairdressing business.
She said that the predator deserved “credit” for overcoming his “very difficult background” to become a successful business owner in Scotland
⚠️Bulgarian Man Guilty Of Assaulting 12YO Girl In Dundee
Ilia Belov, 22, has been found guilty of assaulting a 12YO girl and acting in a threatening or abusive manner towards four girls aged 12-14.
The court heard Belov made sexual remarks to the girl and pushed the 12YO, causing her to fall and hit her head.
Belov claimed he was acting in self defence after seeing a knife, and denied making sexual comments.
Sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith rejected his evidence as "wholly unconvincing and self-serving," calling it a "revisionist" excuse.
The sheriff accepted the girls’ accounts, supported by CCTV and other witnesses, and said Belov’s remarks triggered the confrontation.
Bulova's sister, Nadjedzha Belova, had already pleaded guilty to the assault on the 13YO girl.
⚖️Sentencing for both is set for 5th August.
🌍The case went viral last year after footage of the girl holding a knife and axe circulated widely.
Several high-profile commentators claimed the girls were lying and were the aggressors, some called it racist far-right propaganda.
➡️Shame on them.
To help reduce division and tension, pro-Gaza/Hamas marches should not be permitted to pass through Jewish communities in North London. It’s deeply insensitive and likely to lead to disorder - basic common sense. The organisers clearly appear to be trying to create division.
