It would be refreshing to see the 'proceeds of crime' legislation being used on white collar criminals for a change...

And risk all their future sleazy dealings being dragged through the courts once their term/s has finished?

Without derailing this thread, proving that any crime has been committed would be nigh on impossible. In a similar vein to the financial crash, CEOs of banks simply couldn't be prosecuted as there was nothing on the statute books to nab them for.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 7:44 pmIt would be refreshing to see the 'proceeds of crime' legislation being used on white collar criminals for a change...

Re: Who Will You Vote For?
I suggest two new forum rules:
If you don't vote, you can't post on political matters.
If you do vote, you can post on the condition you don't keep harping on, and on, and on, ad infinitum, like some sort of deranged, delirious parrot with a political leaning.

The storage looks like a standard fuck up rather than a conspiracy. If we are going to prosecute for fuck ups we're going to need a bigger law court.
I like the concept of a life simulator, you put in your plan and what you know will happen and press the go button. If it what you said doesn't happen it triggers the pistol pointed at the back of your head.

Before leaving for Brittany on 29th we shredded our postal votes because we couldn't bring ourselves to vote for any of the dodgy fuckers on offer.
No doubt Labour will hail the seemingly inevitable landslide as a massive vote of confidence in them whereas in reality they're currently a bit less shitter than the other alternatives. But I'm confident that Labour will correct that position within a year or two.

Console yourself with the thought that while the choices on offer here don't exactly set the pulses racing, they're nowhere near as bad as those on offer on the other side of the Atlantic.irie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 8:52 am No doubt Labour will hail the seemingly inevitable landslide as a massive vote of confidence in them whereas in reality they're currently a bit less shitter than the other alternatives.

I'm hoping a good trashing in Scotland will give the SNP the clear mandate they are always banging on about, they will take it as a sign that nobody wants independence and disband.irie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 8:52 amBefore leaving for Brittany on 29th we shredded our postal votes because we couldn't bring ourselves to vote for any of the dodgy fuckers on offer.

It's an interesting concept, having an opinion about something versus doing something about it.
