I'd bet money that the reason Schmitt thought Jack Smith was at a different game is that it never occurred to him or his co-conspirators and enablers that women played whatever variety of sportsball it is.

Just occurred to me that it’s a good thing Jack Smith was actually at a basketball game that day and they could prove it during the hearing because they were all gearing up to feast on the headline for weeks if not years. The headline was all they were after anyway.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...

The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

On a serious note though. The Man City board of directors should be disqualified, the business should be made insolvent and for a period of 2-15 years they cannot run another business in the UK. That’s the law under the Company Directors Act 1986. The punishments have to be just.
