Lying About the Olympic Last Supper Mon Jul 29, 2024 17:00 | Rebekah Barnett
Is anyone else fed up with being gaslit, asks Rebekah Barnett. The latest example is the lying about the Olympic Last Supper. Instantly recognised by literally everyone as a Da Vinci parody, the lies started within hours.

The Girling of the Boy Scouts Erases Men Mon Jul 29, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8We were standing on the kerb having a dignified protest and he came over to us. He refused to identify himself when asked, and although I did nothing other than ask him to identify himself, in my usual calm way, he got agitated and grabbed me and pushed me down the street, frogmarching, I suppose, about 30 yards. I complained about this, but nobody would listen. Later I went back up to where I had been standing (as it was a public place) and none of the other cops had a problem with me, or the other protestors standing there, but this guy decided to make himself scarce. Seems to have a short fuse.
hes special branch
you aint got a chance of getting him to appear
Can you not get the judge to aid you in summoning the man.
If he's based in Mill Street, then no doubt the local judge would know who he is, but whether she'd admit to recognising him is another question, but probably worth putting to her, just to see her reaction.
@ Special, I've heard of the 'Special Olympics', but what does 'Special Branch' mean?
And why don't you just spit out his name + address and we'll see about the chances of dragging him into court? Are you ashamed, or hiding him?
Well, if you won't betray your garda omerta, I'm sure somebody else knows him. He's not the invisible man, and he's not exempt from the due process of law.
BTW, I did hand up his mugshot to the judge (Fahy) on the last occasion and asked that she let the cop witness then in the stand identify this character - however, she refused to allow him see it on the grounds that the photo was not proven to the court (which technically was correct).
Alas, if the judge recognised him she did not volunteer this information to me.
To quote above.....
........"I complained about this, but nobody would listen."
Perhaps you should consider why your fellow protestors wouldn't listen?

The original was called the Special Irish Branch, part of London's Metropolitan Police, and was formed in March 1883 to counter the Irish Republican Brotherhood. The "Irish" soubriquet was later dropped as the department remit was extended to cover other threats.
In the so-called 'Republic of Ireland' (a Clerico-Imperialist puppet state under remote-control from Washington, London + Rome) the Special Branch of the Garda Síochána is now called the Special Detective / Spotted Dick or Sexually Dismal Unit (SDU).
The unit is officially responsible for:
1. State protection
2. Monitoring the activities of subversive and extremist groups
3. Investigation of subversion and terrorism
4. Protection of VIPs
5. Protection of cash in transit
6. Provision of armed response
7. Operation of the Witness Security Programme
which, translated into reality, means
These eunuchs make it their business to:
1. = isolate the corrupt church-state burocracy from any consequences for its crimes against the people
2. = prevent any political change, maintaining the conformist party monoculture
3. = selectively focus intimidation and 'heavy treatment' on persons/groups unapproved by the corrupt church-state burocracy
4. = parade around religious relics, popes, visiting war-criminals
5. = reduce capitalism's insurance bills
6. = be the unofficial 'heavy' wing of the monoculture parties
7. = run tout milking stations
8. = trade any info they can glean with foreign spying services (particularly US, Brit, Roman) in exchange for political, financial or other bribes made to the conformist party monoculture in power.
9. = maximise their individual prospects of a 'second wage' working directly as a tout agent for foreign intel services.
10. = deal with drugs, lots of them.
11. = deal with snakes on a plane, or demons.
The Emergency Response Unit, the Garda's SWAT unit, is also part of the SDU." (where SWAT='stupid weapons + tactics', weapons=uzi and tactics=pulling trigger until needs fresh clip)
