At Manchester airport have been let off.
If ever anyone needs proof of a two tier justice system in the uk this is it.
I am off a holiday soon. At the airport I am going to head butt another passenger wait for the police to arrive assault them by throwing 11 punches especially at the women police officer.
My gut feeling is I will be in court within a week and sentenced to at least 3 years in prison fairly quickly. |  | | |  |

How do people explain the difference between conviction rates? |
is there a significant difference in conviction rates (ie proportion of those tried found guilty)? |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Would the legal people be able to worm me out of it. I doubt it!!!!
The other issue here is the 2 men would have had full legal aid at the taxpayers expense |
Enough people have put you right about your first point.
As for your comment about "full legal aid", the legal aid rates are shit and, although I don't know what you do for a living, I'd be pretty confident that if you're in work, you'd charge/be paid more than legal aid lawyers. | | | |

FFS! You two can’t even get jokes correct.
The whole purpose of the multiple types of people walk into a bar style gag, is to contrast the actions of one of the people for comedic effect, and that contrast is usual based on some form characteristic of the third person. The whole point plays on stereotypes or unexpected twists to create humour.
You have just listed a bunch of people you have perviously described as basically the same from your perspective.
I guess some people just don’t understand British humour. |
Thanks for the analysis. Much appreciated.

In who's opinion....?
Thats also key. Probably more importantly so.
Please understand being downvoted by Herbivore, Noggin, Bankster et al is life affirming for me. As it proves I dont think like them and that makes me happy.
Ps. Selection of names purely for example reasons, theres quite a few more I could've used. |
It is very sad that there are so many people with a vote who are proud to be factually and provably wrong.
I guess it fits with "we've had enough of experts!" |  |

Nope. I posted facts that you kept ignoring and deflecting from and then chose to go with your own opinions and attacked me personally instead.

So feel free to take the high moral ground, belittle me, do whatever you want.

And perhaps you are ready now to answer whether you would be just as happy for the club to promote Corbyn or Polanski or whether you are only happy because it was Farage. | |

It is the determination not to accept facts like that the club sponsoring Farage still features in the news well after 5 days after the event.
You doubled down on your wrong assertion despite me linking around 6 examples (including a press conference from McKenna) and then made an attack on my character instead. (Rather like your criticism for me "taking the high moral ground" - why is that something to be avoided?) I am not belittling you, either. Please give an example of where I have done so. | |

With very little respect, I answered the bloody question, can you not read?
I also responded to your facts, pointing out the flaws, but as per you choose to ignore it.
As I said before, you carry on pretending that you are not in an ever decreasing minority regarding Ashton and one day you will get your wish and he will go.
And I hope it makes you very happy. | | | |

Let's hope so
Edit - posted this after reading the OP only.
Now read the rest and realised the obvious lie it betrays.
Pathetic and a classic example of Farage/Trump b/s.

When this attack happened on the Police I said straight away on here they wouldn’t get done for it.
Looks like I was right then. [Post edited 24 May 9:36]

I have now gone back to thread and see that, post edit, it reads that you would have a problem with the club promoting Polanski but wouldn't care enough to tell anyone!
That simply sounds very hypocritical. Apologies for not going back and re-reading the thread that I hadn't been on after the edit.
I have no idea whether I am in a minority or whether that is ever decreasing and have not made any pretence that I do know. Please post your evidence that I am because (once again) you are the one posting your opinion as a proven fact!
I don't see where you pointed out any flaw with the 5-6 articles that were outside your odd and very arbitrary 5 day window which you were provably wrong over. | |

Has spent the last nine months in custody awaiting sentencing (not something that was mentioned to the jury). Now you have returned to the thread, will you have the decency to correct your OP ?

"In the UK you are 4 to 5 times more likely to be stopped and searched if you black"
You can't just take one parameter like that and come to any sort of conclusion. If in a hypothetical scenario, some people with skin colour [a] are a lot poorer than people with skin colour [c], and poorer people are more likely to commit a crime that you might be stopped and searched for, then the people with skin colour [a] are going to be stopped and searched more often. That's not a slight on poor people, that's the reality of being poor.
That's not to say there is or isn't racism, it's just to say any meaningful statement has to take multiple overlapping factors into account. [Post edited 24 May 12:50]

The stats are even worse if you're Black and living in a more affluent area: https://www.theguardian.com/la |  |

Why am I wrong are the pair who attacked the police at Manchester airport serving time?
A quick look at Google says not,it will cost £1million to have a third trial they won’t have the third trial and they will walk free.
Still we will find out on May 29th. [Post edited 24 May 17:28]
