In news that I'm sure will shock no one🙄

Ugh. The state of him 🤮

But until a year ago he was a legislator.

Well, like the guy said, there's one born every minute! 😛

If found "unfit to plea" a trial of facts can still take place. But that's completely different to lacking capacity at the time of alleged offences.

Has there been any kind of remorse for the impact their behaviour had on their ex wife? Or is it typical male entitlement.

Editing as missed the BBC article claiming he pled guilty "pragmatically" because of the impact of the trial on his ex wife.

I don't believe that for a second. I presume his lawyer told him he didn't have a chance.

Wallace has been in court again this week. Possession of a false passport. Plans to represent himself

I wonder what they mean by false passport? Has he changed the name on his passport to his woman name without going through the proper procedure or is it something different?

How odd.

Presumably he bought himself a lady passport to avoid traumatising himself by seeing his own name in writing?

Looks like 2022, this offence? Was he even out, then?

This bloke is a train wreck.

False passport? As in he's got a dodgy one off some dodgy blokes down the pub or dodgy as in he's used a fake name without changing his and sex properly. How sensible he's representing himself given the state of his mental health. What could possibly go wrong? The Jared O'Mara comparison is spot on.

I for one would love lots of further reporting on the First Trans MP, I’m sure many would find it interesting.

I'm in complete agreement.

He could legit change his name and sex on a passport, https://www.gov.uk/changing-passport-information/gender.

So I'm going with the former.

Its just a hunch but I think there is a lot to wallaces life that is interesting

How sensible he's representing himself given the state of his mental health. What could possibly go wrong?

I get the impression from the media coverage that the judge was more than a little concerned about this

😂😂😂

@PronounssheRa yes, life ‘interesting’ and hard drive even more so …

Just fell down a rabbit hole and wound up reading Wikipedia on William Joyce, Lord Haw Haw

However, the Attorney General, Sir Hartley Shawcross, successfully argued that Joyce's possession of a British passport, even though he had misstated his nationality to get it, entitled him until it expired to British diplomatic protection in Germany and therefore he owed allegiance to the King at the time he began working for the Germans.

The historian A. J. P. Taylor remarked in his book English History 1914–1945 that "Technically, Joyce was hanged for making a false statement when applying for a passport, the usual penalty for which is a small fine."

thankfully for Wallace history is unlikely to repeat itself.

The last line of the BBC story about Wallis and the passport charge is
"Wallis was told to be at court by 09:00 BST on 15 August."

The 15th August was last Friday and I've not seen anything about a hearing.

Does anyone have access to Cardiff Crown Court case lists, to check whether a hearing did take place?

You can access court rolls if you register. I had ages ago but prob lost details.

CourtServe - Live Crown Court Lists https://share.google/ubiH69wnUed9dvjEY

I cannot get in! Maybe glitchy.

I've registered, but only tomorrow's list is available.

I think past case lists and only be accessed by legal professionals.
