Liz gone.



Have to think Truss was only voted in to be the fall person for the economy/inflation/cost of living and the plan was always to replace her before the next election. How would conservatives not have known what they were getting into voting her in? This quick revolt seems too well-orchestrated.

Time to give labor a crack in government.
 
Holy Mother Mary!

A diabolical conundrum. The un-conservative conservatives or La-lgbtqjgfhhfghffhj-bour psychos.

It has become a parody of itself.
 
The UKs Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned from it's beleaguered Government. There will be a new Conservative Party election contest for leader. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is the first to declare he is entering the contest. Could it be 'Boris rides again'.

Liz Truss resignation: The full statement

Liz Truss said on Thursday she was resigning as British prime minister, brought down by her economic programme that sent shockwaves through the markets and divided her Conservative Party just six weeks after she was appointed.

Go Kemi!
 

How anyone could cut taxes for the rich while people's gas prices were going through the roof and expect to remain as leader is beyond me, what a ghastly mistake, so out of touch.

Would they return to Boris after all the stuff ups he made ? It's hardly thinkable,. I don't know much about their leadership, but they need a Churchill at this time, not a Thatcher.
 
In no sense do they even have a Thatcher ATM, Horace.

Both major parties are comedicly incompetent and out of touch, it's a looming disaster either way for the UK.
 
If you have never seen it all.... perhaps this doco offers an insight into the challenges of the Biggus Dicus brigade.

My Massive xock review – you will never be able to unsee this penis documentary​


This Channel 4 show about men with genitals up to seven inches around is an often eye-watering watch with plenty of point-and-laugh moments – until it turns thoughtful

How big is your penis? Average? Largeish? Big? Ah – but is it documentary big? The entry point – and just pardon the puns from hereon out – for qualifying for shows like My Massive **** (the latest addition to Channel 4’s Truth and Dare season celebrating the channel’s 40th anniversary, though they style it My Massive ****) seems to be 8in [20.3cm] (erect, for the avoidance of doubt). But most of the contributors come in at (I told you – just pardon them all, else we’ll be here all day) around 9.5in and Matt and Andy’s are each 10.5in. “I do get lightheaded when fully hard,” says Matt. That, it turns out, is the least of the poor man’s problems. But we’ll get back to that.

Jury in Bruce Lerhmann case discharged due to "juror misconduct".

Apparently a juror obtained 'relevant material' that was not presented in court.

Maybe if it was relevant it should have been presented.

Routine tidying unearths juror research that torpedoes Bruce Lehrmann rape trial

The jury in the rape trial of Bruce Lehrmann is discharged, without a verdict, after a juror accessed information that was not presented as evidence in court.

The Guardian report is a bit clearer about the material a juror brought into the jury room.
I thought the material may have been the two previous allegations made against Bruce Lehrmann of getting girls drunk and having sex with them... But it wasn't was it..

The entire jury in the trial of Bruce Lehrmann has been discharged after a juror was found to have brought a research paper on sexual assaults into the jury room.

The ACT supreme court convened on Thursday morning and heard that Lehrmann’s trial must be aborted after a juror had conducted research outside the courtroom, something jurors are routinely told not to do.

The court heard the juror brought in a research paper which attempted to quantify the number of false complaints and interrogate the reasons for making false complaints. The use of the research paper was contrary to at least 17 directions from the trial judge to jurors telling them not to conduct their own research or enquiries.

Couple of examples of false rape cases from the previous post.

The links to the summary of the cases and the reasoning behind the judges decision are illuminating.

I believe the reporting on this story as much as I believe Epstein killed himself.

What are the odds this "material" was placed on purpose by someone to ensure the case was dissolved and more headlines generated? And even if this was the case - who cares? Seriously who cares? This situation has been head-line news for a year. Everyone in Australia already formed an opinion on this case long ago. Everyone is biased. The Justice system is a joke.

"one of the officers accidentally bumped one of the juror's document holders onto the floor," Yeah right...
 

You can believe anything you want Triangle and no doubt will - regardless of the facts. Even when they have been spelt out in CAPITAL LETTERS.

A juror did bring into the jury room a report he downloaded from the web. This was against the repeated (17 times) statements from the Judge that jurors must only consider the evidence/information presented in the trial.

The judge knows who the juror is. He knows he did it. In fact the juror had previously brought in two other research papers. Frankly I'm amazed that other jurors didn't raise the issue with the judge themself (if they had known). There is a (small) possibility that the juror himself decided to "accidentally" leave the document around to be found and cause the trial to be abandoned. Maybe. Possibly.

But give the reporting a break.

Have you and your handlers at the guardian ever discussed sponsoring ASF? Surely with all the guardian links you post you're better off throwing a few shekels here for some banner adverts or maybe a sponsored guardian article only thread? Spread the clickbait wealth around!
 

So where did the Guardian slip up ?

What sins of commission or omission did they make ?

Their story seemed fairly factual to me. They did not express an opinion of guilt or innocence, they reported what happened.

That's their job surely ?
