Re: Bob Geldof set to travel into space

Hopefully he's made a mistake and not bought a return ticket.

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

Was the senior lawyer Barbara Hewson? She is known for making comments about cases she is not involved in. She recently called the Savile child rape / abuse Investigation 'a witch hunt against old men' No, she was nothing like that. She was a lot older, and came across as a senior figure, like the ...

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

v) While in the vast majority of cases (perhaps even 99.9%) it might be inappropriate to describe a child as a predator the existence of Mary Bell, Jon Venables, Robert Thompson, Eric Smith etc etc etc means that the description is proper in a small amount of cases and until the full facts of the m...

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

Fretmeister, I was just going on an interview on the BBC discussing this case. The ''expert'' was a very senior lady lawyer of some sort, but I forget who she was, and it was her who said that about the prosecutor having a duty to present all facts to the court. I wish I could remember who she was,...

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

Assisting the defendant is not the same as damaging your own case though. He could have described the complainants actions as a series of actions - presenting the facts. Providing an emotionally heavy opinion as to how to interpret those actions goes beyond helping the defendant. I wonder if the def...

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

Fretmeister, All agreed. As far as the last bit goes, I did have an understanding that the prosecutor's job is not to necessarily portray the defendant in the worst possible light, but to put the true facts before the court to the best of his/her ability. So if the evidence was that the girl was of...

Re: Those sexually predatory 12 year old girls!

I can't be arsed to read it all but... i) I want to know what the brief from the Crown Prosecution Service said. At the moment they have deflected every question about that. It is entirely possible for the barrister to have been instructed to use that terminology, or simply instructed to attack the ...

Re: Shops could face legal action over 'lads' mags'

What a load of shit.

Some religious people have attempted to sue employers because they had to unload lorries full of bacon or alcohol.

In every case the court said - it's in a packet, so shut up.

Re: What the smeg is Energy Psychology?

I drafted up some questions to be asked.

She's going to wait until the end of the session and then see if they claim a change in brain chemistry - having not done MRI / CT or taken any fluids for testing pre and post.

I have also discovered that it is the local school that has organised it!!

I found another site explaining that all their Energy Psychoanalysts are also "naturopathic doctors"

Definitely bullhonky.

Re: What the smeg is Energy Psychology?

Normally I would just mock people, but as my mate appears to have been taken in as a way of helping her autistic child... I'm upset.
