    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.

    The irony being none of them really exist in any meaningful way. They're just labels applied to try to stoke division.

    The lefty tag on here is more of a piss take for the ****wits trying to label anyone laughing at their ignorance as being far right. They had to use that because they outed themselves as racists, so can't really use that anymore.

    I meant exactly what I wrote. Labour has always been a disaster in office, irrespective of the majority that they have in the Commons. Would you like a history lesson? I expect nothing else in the next five years. It has only been six weeks and already it is becoming apparent who is running the country and it is not Starmer.

    I am sure that you will be happy to shell out more taxes to pay for all those public sector slackers that they have already promised above inflation pay rises. They even handed backdated pay rises to the railway communists and they are still going on strike for something else. We have a civil service that is overmanned by tens of thousands but there is no chance of Labour getting rid of 100,000 so you and your kids had better get used to the idea that you will live in poverty to pay their gold plated pensions.

    Did you see borrowing is already increased rapidly? Cooper still can't find anyone to take charge of the Border Patrol, which was pretty much the same as the last one, with a vacancy cropping up because the military man in charge was pissed off with the inaction of civil servants. She's now shifting to an equally laughable claim that she's going to lock up and deport 'more' migrants. She's not specified what the 'more' is in comparison to, nor explained why this was seen as the wrong approach by them previously.

    They haven't got a straight word or a coherent strategy in any policy.

    "We are caught in a trap where our governance has been captured by people whose only talent is for typing + attending meetings. They are hopelessly impractical people who will likely have no experience of ‘making’ anything. Clean hands professions. Never worked in a: Factory Farm Building site Take Starmer – all he has ever done is work in the law and politics. The UK is a large business – he has no qualification/experience/talent to run UK PLC. All they can do is more of the same – in Starmer’s case legislate + prosecute."

    I wonder what Timpson makes of the current disaster around prisons?

    He's recognised as an expert in his field, and Starmer is going against most of Timpson's core principles.
