Some of these convictions are pathetic. The 69 year old retired welder who took a cosh to a riot. Three years in prison. What a waste.

Yeah its such a waste and a shame for them they were so gullible. Imagined they were "the lion". Just look pathetic and stupid in the cold light of day.

JSO protestors must be wishing they’d gone armed with actual weapons at this rate.

Gossipy McGossipface has now been arrested for her part in disseminating the lie about the identity of the killer. I hope she gets longer than 3 years.

itsgettingweird · 08/08/2024 18:10

You can prove anything you like with facts.

Well yes that's the point.

But how do you argue with someone who argues about how they feel because they don't have the facts!

These are usually people who when presented with the actual facts don't like them to get in the way.!

Ooohhh this is good news.

I do hope it's a 10 stretch!

Someone's about to find out...

About time she got arrested.

Reckon she will take that all the way to the Crown Court and will want a full jury trial. Not so quick

Saucery · 08/08/2024 18:28

All the racists who stayed at home yesterday are giving out on FB about the counter protests being a “hoax”. Wankers.

PickAChew · 08/08/2024 18:36

There were some on here, last night, Saucery. Thankfully I was too tired for any illicit eye rolling.

According to the BBC, Gossipy McGossipface a 55 year old woman from near Chester is currently in custody

So her crocodile tears and excuses haven't washed with the police force Wink

She's very lucky that no one died in the protests that she helped foment Shock

Nobody’s died from this. Unlike her anti vax nonsense which probably has contributed to deaths but is difficult to prove.

You don't. You present the facts, show the evidence, they say "oh", and then the next time you see them it's either forgotten, or dismissed as irrelevant. They change the angle slightly to avoid the knowledge that doesn’t fit with their narrative.

Arguing with facts just gives you a headache. The phrase I use a lot, is we have to agree to disagree and change the subject to one that hasn't been hijacked by conspiracy theorists and the far right.

bombastix · 08/08/2024 18:49

I reckon she has a few problems legally. I do hope that they prove insurmountable

itsgettingweird · 08/08/2024 18:54

Little I don't argue full stop. My response above - which seems to have got into a serious discussion - was just a jokey reply about people who think opinion can be fact in the absense of facts.

Probably one of those times an emoji would have been ideal 😂

It’s like this…

RafaistheKingofClay · 08/08/2024 18:55

Just reading her page on rational wiki.

Apparently she’s responsible for tweeting out a rumour that a letter written by aliens was read out at the congressional hearings on UFOs. 😂 Some people will believe absolutely anything.

RafaistheKingofClay · 08/08/2024 18:56

Maybe I shouldn’t have used an emoji there.

Sorry, @itsgettingweird, I realised you were being lighthearted, but I seem stuck in serious mode at the moment. Smile

I suspect we will see some sort of mental health defence tried.

PandoraSox · 08/08/2024 19:26

I am very pleased about Gossipy. Bur maybe we should not speculate about her? Don't want to give the defence any get out about fair trials etc.

I bet a few MN accounts have been deleted in the last couple of days...
