      Diversity is our …

      Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.

      I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

    but given all the factors like Christmas/New Year and low temperatures, that is a better scenario than might have occurred

    Lead BBC news – a 94 year old foreign retired actor has died. I turned off at that point – France 24 leads with the Shoot to kill order issued in Kazakhstan with Al jaz publishing satellite pictures of the Russian military build up at the border with Ukraine…. I suppose the BBC will consign this to ‘local news ‘..

      I bet 90% of today’s kids have never heard of him, Sluffy and Fed! He was marvellous in ‘The Heat of the night’, but only now will those silly kids watch and wonder, and start some sort of protest for whatever their fuddled minds want to do!

      As an aside, I always loved Paul Robeson as his voice was so fantastic, and I never knew about his politics, because such issues were so insignificant when listening to his fabulous voice on a scratchy 78 rpm!

      ‘Sanders of the river’ still makes me glaze over…

        Scrobie, the BBC were mentioning Peter Bogdanovic’s death in the News today. He died yesterday. Nothing like being up to date, finger to the pulse and all that. They only mention his multi-awarded film: ‘The Last Picture Show’ but I thought ‘What’s Up, Doc?’ was even better imv.

    ANY QUESTIONS – QC Joanna Cherry repeats the BBC ‘Mantra of the Week’ recently that Jury decisions do not create legal precedent. That is wrong. They do create legal precedent but there is a ranking system under our law.

    Common Law and Statute fight for the No.1 spot. Either can trump the other but . . . …..
    …. . . . . . it takes an Act of Parliament to give Statute the No.1 spot if there is existing Common Law on the subject but . . . ….
    … . . . . Statute requires a Parliamentary majority and Parliamentary time.

    As I was taught many, many years ago Case Law (a Jury decision) always ranks after the other two but . . . …
    ….. . . . . . a Judge will always bear it in mind. That is why Judges sometimes rise during a case to check with their Clerk and the law books during a case or before instructing the Jury.

    There are rare occasions where Common Law is silent, Statute Law is silent and Case Law (a Jury decision) takes precedent. Rare, but it happens. Joanna Cherry as a QC should know that. The BBC could be excused except they do have a lawyer on staff and they could easily find the answer for the BBC and prevent a serious error.

    I could be wrong on this and things have changed since I did some law classes as it was a very long time ago.

      Jury decision – not creating a precedent . The AG is apparently considering appealing the not guilty but I can’t see how that works .
      I think the days of jury trial are numbered but research on the way they reach a verdict should be allowed ….

      Time for a new thread – no appeals allowed …

        Fed, you say Case Law can never be a precedent? Unless there has been Statute since I had to study Law to bar Case Law from ever setting precedent then I beg to differ with my honorable colleague.

        Cases can always be refered to the Attorney General, if I recall correctly, for instance in the event of mistrial or even . . . . …
        ….. . . . . (tada!) a Judge misinterpreting Case Law where it sets a precedent. Normally in that situation, that would be appealed all the way up to the House of Lords/Supreme Court. Judges hate to be overturned and so they consider Case Law and sentencing guidelines extremely carefully. In addition, they do that so that they can keep Prosecuting and Defence Counsel up to the mark and pull them back when going beyond it.

        PS: Where’s maxi?

        In addition, I think since the Blair era, cases can be refered to the AG where sentencing is thought to have been too harsh or too lenient. Example: recent trial of killers of a PC in Berkshire with a public outcry against the lenient sentences handed down.

          A jury decision is not ‘case law ‘ .

          I’m not sure how the AG can get the court of appeal to look at the jury decision in this case – I suppose the judges direction can be examined and any rulings made during the trial can be examined but the ( unwritten ) decision by the jury ? – unless – of course they might be evidence of ‘jury tampering ‘….

          As for referral of sentences – I think this is now on a statutory basis …

    Labour MP Jack Dromey dies aged 73

    No cause given etc
    He was ranting about the unvaxed in April.
    Might the BBC find out for me if he was boosted recently 🤔

    “Covid-19: ‘Name and shame vaccine myth peddlers’ ”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-56679911

    Mr Dromey said by opting not to be vaccinated, staff could be putting “at risk the people that they care for” – some of the most vulnerable in society.
    He said those responsible for spreading rumours were “off their head” and should be named and shamed and and even criminalised in some cases.
    “It is completely wrong and irresponsible,” he added.

    According to the new CO-OP tv commercial there is nothing Bangladeshi immigrants enjoy more than….

    Line Dancing.

    Yep boots, tassels, thumbs in waistband stuff.

    It just gets more bizarre every day!

    Who the hell do they think they are fooling?

    p.s. I have broken all links with the new woke Co-op this year including bank and car insurance etc. They are a lost cause as far as I am concerned. Sad because my mum and grandma thought they were the bees knees.

    Perhaps it’s because they are now dictated to by their masters in the Far East?

    We need a list of ex British Companies who have sold out to the globalists really so we can support truly British Businesses.

    In my small town I have realised that every Premier Store and other street corner Shop is now run by Asians, Every Post Office Branch is run by Asians, every Petrol Filling Station is run by Asians. Most takeaways are run by Asians, Most barbers are run by Asians.

    I am sure if you look around your town you will see the same.

    It will inevitably expand to include big stores and supermarkets etc.

    This is nothing less than highly planned infiltration funded by their Mother Countries. It will all end in tears.

    Britain is sleepwalking into oblivion.

      Blimey, you mean the people who opened their own small businesses in your town are the same people who run their own small businesses in your town?

      That’s quite a revelation you’ve had there.
