Carolyn Farrow taken to police station

There really isn't enough mindbleach in the world.

I am not drunk
Sigh
Sniggering and at

Ah fuck, I had managed to forget about bobble hats.

Bobble hats?

Oh fuck, my dog is looking at me like I lost the bonios. Cannot stop triggering st bobble hat.
You win the internet today ( or yesterday depending what time you posted)

The Catholics also believe in salvation and penance - you can sin, and still be accepted back.

Gender Ideology doesn’t have this, once you’ve out, you’re out, and are a TERF ie Non-Person

Not to say there aren't a lot of Christian's in the C of E with strong faith and extremely devout. But it seems optional.

The C of E tries so hard to be a 'broad church' that they have forgotten their core beliefs or even that it might be a good idea to have some. But belief was alway secondary in the church where first sons inherited the estate, second sons bought a commission in the army, and third sons were given a living in the church. The church developed as much as a form of local government as a religion. And of course was set up in the first place because the king wanted to remarry.

The C of E seems caught up in it, though (but still disapproves of homosexuality, even though there are many openly gay priests).

I'm a Christian and licensed lay minister myself, and there are many contradictory aspects.

Good for you. Are you ok now? Did someone come to help in the end?

👌👌👌

Oops, that cartoon was in a rubbish format that probably won't work for lots. Try again.

You may now resume the main topic. Sorry...

while that page is running they are just checking you are a single user and not part of a robot army.

And to be clear, they're not doing some sort of weird ID check or something - it's just making your computer solve a hard maths problem that takes seconds to solve. (And it will be slower on less powerful devices).

It's making it computationally infeasible to overload the server - the doorkeepers get to immediately turn away clients that haven't done the necessary work, with just a quick glance.

Cartoon illustration taken from Wikipedia's Proof of Work article.

The solving only happens periodically as the "response" is repeated by your browser on all subsequent requests, so you can skip stages 1-4, until the server decides the response is "stale" (time out or overuse).

And what the diagram here doesn't show is that there are multiple "doorkeeper" servers spread across the world, which can take over from each other if one gets overloaded (there's another server monitoring the doorkeepers, changing which ones the URL points to according to their load), and the "granting service" after step 6 is actually forwarding the request through to the real server.

Fascinating techy stuff...

@Emotionalsupportviper No need to dig out the Black Books DVDs, it's on All4 here

It's only a matter of time 😏

Are you going to Filia Carolyn?

Seems kinda ‘transvoluntary’?

What often happens is that if someone refuses to take part in a voluntary interview which prevents an offence being investigated, then this gives a constable a power to enter an address to arrest someone

That is a rather interesting use of the word 'voluntary'

The thing about the Farmers is that they are very good at keeping receipts. Especially the receipts that come to light as a result of legal cases.

Yes @Ladyof2022 and on more than one account. Anonymously of course.

The vexatious litigant has also posted on K.F.

I am a disabled pensioner. A few weeks ago I fell off my chair and no matter how much I tried I was unable to stand up. I called 999 for an ambulance but, because I was not bleeding or concussed, they refused to come. I rang 99 again and asked for the police. I then asked if they could send a burly bobby around to haul me up. The operator refused, and sounded angry with me, saying the police were there to respond to CRIMES and nothing else. Before I could stop myself, I blurted out "Pity I wasn't misgendered, you'd happily send six officers!" and I hung up!

Name changed again as I have written about some of this before.
I live in north London.
Over the years, since the beginning of secondary school really, my DC have been mugged frequently, robbed at knife point a couple of times, assaulted a couple of times completely randomly in broad daylight. The worst thing that happened was that one was dragged into a car, driven to a cash point, forced to draw out money at knife point, dragged back into the car , dumped in the middle of nowhere without phone, wallet or shoes. Walked to police station and was able to give excellent description of assailants, vehicle, and likely whereabouts of same based on level of petrol gauge and proximity of petrol stations.
In all cases the police could not have been less interested.
.
My neighbour called the police one night when a would be burglar was kicking down her back door. Nobody available to come.

Yet they can turn up and arrest a woman in her own home on the basis of spurious accusations of tweeting a known vexatious litigant with no evidence.

It does make you feel disillusioned.

Is that prominent paper one that the litigant has recently lost a case against?

I have two things to say. Firstly, let me make it clear that I do not believe Caroline is guilty of anything illegal.

However, I just want to point out that IF a person wanted to post things on a site like KF, Twitter, Mumsnet etc, and not be caught, that person need only have a special laptop/tablet/phone for that use, that they keep hidden in, say, a locked attic, a garage, or even a friend's house. They certainly would not post it from their child's tablet!

So taking devices still does not prove or disprove that someone posted something.

Second thing, it's about time the vexatious litigant got a taste of his own (poisoned!) medicine. Nobody in the WORLD deserves it more.

Apparently there's about to be a prominent expose of him in one of the highest circulation national newspapers. He'll be gunning for women with extra vigour once that's published.
