    He doesn't lie about his name, he's very open about what his real name is. He chose a fake name in the early days to protect his family from the very real (and documented) threats against his family from islamic extremists. The threats are still there, if not greater, and the name is now more of a brand than an actual person's name.

    You are posting misinformation in an attempt to avoid engaging with the actual narrative. You **** yourself every time a conversation looks to be breaking out. That's ****e moderation too.

    Have a rest until you can come back and engage in the topics. It's clearly all having a very detrimental effect on your mental health.

    He's a journo, so not worth watching.

    As long as you didn’t make the images, can’t see any need for gaol time. A caution should suffice.

    Are you referring to the sexual images of children?

    That is effectively condoning, encouraging and supporting the abuse.

    One thing that I don't see these issues expanding on, is the massive demand there seems to be for such images. That in itself should be cause for concern and research.

    I was, and largely still am in the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade, but I've had a number of long face to face conversations with a mental health professional and a senior probation officer who certainly didn't support the perverts, but had some interesting observations from their own long professional experience that was certainly food for thought.

    Yes. Possession = condoning, maybe encouraging but not supporting. Supporting is when you’re involved or you’re paying or helping people that are involved.

    During the recent riots, the Police were filmed politely asking a large mob of tooled up muslims to put their weapons back in the mosque.

    By creating, downloading and sharing, that is supporting if not just financially but by giving it credibility or even normalising it.

    Three different crimes there: downloading the lesser crime, sharing the middle one and creating the most serious. By creating I mean actually recording the footage.

    The polls did nothing of the sort. The polls showed that a massive number of people that voted for liar Boris in 2019 were either not voting at all or switching to Reform. From this it was possible to extrapolate how many seats would default to liar Keir in 2024.

    The sensible people did not bother wasting their time voting as the Labour disaster was inevitable. The polls did not show that Labour’s share of the vote would stagnate so they have no popular mandate and all that “tactical voting” bollocks espoused by the likes of Vorderman, Neville and Lineker came to nothing. When Reeves wants millions more in taxes from them I am sure they will happily stump up as it won’t be the Tories wasting it. No word on when those three will be opening their doors to millions of ‘asylum seekers’ as Labour has no credible plan to send them home.

    It's debatable, but as I understand it, the law has determined that downloading is in effect creating the image.

    He got the lowest number of votes for a majority in decades, and less actual votes than Corbyn got in what was described as a humiliating defeat.

    For 'Labour disaster' you meant 'Spectacular success' ... over 400 MPs...

    Here's the thing - the Tories governed the country for the last 14 years with a mandate from less than half the UKs population ... so really no different - apart from the unprecedented levels of **** ups, cronies, deaths amongst the most vulnerable Brexit debacle ... and the missing billions ...

    Here endeth today's lesson...

    You're welcome

    :cool:

    Yes I expect. Clearly when it comes to trial the difference between downloading and actually filming will mean way different sentences.

    I think the interpretation can get quite messy.

    On a related note, they claimed the guy that tried to assassinate Trump had images of various prominent people on his computer. It turns out these were just images in the cache that had been stored when they cropped up in his feed, rather than anything searched for or saved.

    I'm fully aware that these things get logged, but it's a big leap to claim he 'had' the images.

    My Twitter feed these days seems to be largely a mixture of right wing and left wing content. Going by cached internet files I’m sure they could build a case that I’m a nazi or a communist and need locking up.
