John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 07/06/2026JD vance is sort of wrong and Lammy sort of right. Why? Because the Kirpan knife is also legal in the USA, EU and Australia.... So its not an issue specific to UK migration. 000
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Dont ban pro-Gaza marches! They dont cause the violence. Evidence? In 1970s, when IRA bombed mainland UK, random Irish people were attacked without any anti-IRA marches causing it, it was the bombing itself. Likewise, its not demos that are causing violence now, its the Israeli bombing 020
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 28/03/2026You wrote: "The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party." In reality the Mail feeds into a pre-existing market that is right of centre. Rejecting that some Green voters can come up with a right of centre view is burying head in the sand. Green voters can also be right wing. 020

John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 11/08/2025What you say might be true but I think what I said was the reason they were not called. My reason for her being "not guilty" is based on stats. Looked at individually each case does not appear to be deliberate harm or murder. It only looks suspicious because its a statistical spike. 010

John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Marx and Engels alas were a product of their time. In those days, poor employed as servants, even for quite modest households (or armed forces). Thus the UK had a thing called a "class system" It even affected who could vote. In modern non-servant society the concept of class no longer works. 100
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 07/08/2025A fair defense witness probably has to say that murder is a possibility. An unfair prosecution witness says chance of it not being murder is slim to non-existent. Thus defense experts will look like fence sitters compared to prosecution. 100
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Not illegal corruption but legal corruption. Expert prosecution witnesses have access to the totality of the police evidence and 100% police help. Often they started getting paid yonks before the trial starts. Thus their pay and knowledge of case is going to be higher then any legal aid experts. 000
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Hence religion is better than spirituality. Order is better than chaos. It is good to be able to trust what a person will do in given situations. 000
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Lucy Letby Summary: The prosecution expert witnesses get paid a wad of cash for saying the defendant is guilty. If a case is based on expert witnesses the defense has less cash and ability to see the police's evidence and obviously less time too. They have little chance of beating the system. 220
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 03/08/2025re statistics: I often think if it was just ONE baby would the evidence of murder have been so overwhelming compared to the other possible reasons for the death (accidental or natural causes). Mmm So yes I feel the result was kind of rigged. lucy Letby had no chance. 110
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 03/08/2025I dont think anyone seriously thinking about the notes, thinks they were a confession 😀😀😀 The nurse was stitched up. 000
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Because the honest opinion of most medics is "yes this death might have been caused deliberately or it might have been natural or accidental".... Whereas the prosecution "experts" witnesses have no such compunction to be medically honest. In other words expert witnesses are a legal stitchup 100
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Gambling £100 on a horse or a share? With shares you stand good chance of getting much of your money back if you lose. So if you whack £100 on SBTX I think (touchwood) you stand a chance of doubling your money in 2 months. But if it fails you'll probably still get most of your money back. 000

John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I see what you're saying.... But I just think its crazy that the crown experts get paid potentially a fortune for saying you're guilty and the defence experts only get paid expenses. Where is the justice in that? I would say prosecution based on expert witnesses is a sham. 000
John Paul @brightsuit.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Well Lucy Letby obviously has had a miscarriage of justice.... The Crown Witnesses were PAID... Any defence medics dont get paid. The system is clearly corrupt. If a medical case goes to court you are good as convicted. 210
