@Geri How can someone be arrested just for pointing out that jury nullification exists as a matter of established legal doctrine?

In April 24, Trudi Warner, a retired social worker, stood outside Inner London Crown Court holding a sign that read:
"Jurors, you have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience"She was arrested for "intimidation of a jury" but at trial Mr. Justice Saini ruled in her favour, saying she was only stating the law outside a courthouse, and that can not be illegal
She was arrested again last week for doing exactly the same thing as were many others
@Geri well I hope the police are now prosecuted for contempt of court or harassment, after all this was clearly legal.

@Geri All while MPs lie as a matter of daily life.
An insane distortion of values.

@Geri Starmer's regime is making Thatcher's Britain look like a liberal paradise.

I wonder if cops ever get tired being the boot of the State even without being asked.

@DeliaChristina I run a weekly one woman protest outside the house of Commons where the MPs go in.
I always say hello to the police. On one occasion, a police officer said ty for what you are doing and then put his finger to his mouth as if to say don't repeat

Surely this means she can sue the cops and judges will start holding prosecutors accountable for bringing frivolous charges? I sure hope so.

@Remittancegirl @runoutgroover @Geri the Thatcher era was great apart from the poverty, unemployment, class war, riots and dissolution of any kind of business law. Oh and the turning the police into the de facto military wing of the Tory party. Apart from that and the fact that long tail of Thatcherism is behind many of the problems we face today not only in this country but all over the world, it was great.

Do not fucking straw-man me, Mark. NO ONE is saying it was great.
I have ZERO patience for this kind of zero sum crap.
There is a very convincing argument to be made that many people's lives and futures look far bleaker now than then.
