And people don't want to live and work in some provincial hellhole far from London, of course.

A man arrested with a crossbow at Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle home on Christmas Day last year has been charged with having a weapon with intent to "alarm her Majesty" under Britain's Treason Act

this lad was on a mission to alarm her majesty

"Ding dong ding dong, your hair's that long'

19-year-old Jaswant Singh Chail, a Southampton resident. Jaswant claimed that he was seeking revenge for the Sikhs killed in the 1919 Jallianwala massacre in Amritsar, India. The Jallianwala Bagh mass killing was orchestrated by the British Brigadier-General R. E. H. Dyer in British-ruled India. General Dyer blocked the only exit of the venue and order his troops to open fire on the huge congregation of Indians gathered for a rally, killing thousands.

lol, I'd like to think the defunct for a few years now Crimes of Britain account played a part in radicalising him.

i hope they're using the Treason Act because they kind've have to rather than because it'll let them lock him up indefinitely or something

I'd presume the treason act will be the path of least resistance for the prosecution, but there probably aren't that many precedents of it being used this century, but surely it will mean a longer sentence?

i dunno, when i had a quick google i think they can send him to Australia for seven years so i assume it's been updated since then

imprisonment not to exceed seven years if i'm reading the act correctly (as NV says it used to be "transportation beyond the seas" for seven years):

think he probably landed himself the treason styling by declaring "my plan was to assassinate the queen"

Well, when Truss removes the tax on sugary drinks, watch them nummers fly!

Possibly a consequence of the Tory leadership contest being high profile (eg, televised debates) so they have been more visible than Labour.

Kieth's ratings don't improve when people see him

I know we're getting Truss as PM but this is really fucking funny.

Grim but hilarious how Sunak went from ‘I’m the common sense candidates and I’m going to be honest with you’ to ‘chat shit get banged’

Tomorrow: Sunak to pledge “I don’t know, guys, what do these jackasses want? Slow water torture for cyclists? Think of something” the wrong email is forwarded to the press. https://t.co/XEtVfty4XB

please deradicalise me Rishi i'm in a lot of pain

Should I get the mods to remove that post I made about England's women football team winning the Euros?

Just to be on the safe side?

i dunno man if he goes after everybody in the UK who hates the English he's gonna need a bigger reprogramming centre

Tory Party members will love it though.

Not voting for him, guess they know desperation when they see it.

I guess the one good thing about the cost of living crisis is it's defo going to drop house prices, which means I still won't be able to afford a house but the people who obsess over house prices will be sad about that

Does London need better cross-Thames transport links? Y

Is having a road tunnel open to petrol and diesel road vehicles a terrible polluting, climate-busting idea? Y

Could/should Khan reimagine the tunnel as a cycle & electric vehicle only or rail link instead? YYY

Sort it out Mr Mayor for chrissakes, it's not rocket science.

I read it was a 35p offer yesterday, how many kilowatt hours, or even minutes do you get for 50p these days. CUNTS

yeah that Rishi video is good but people have been writing about that since the Cameron era. And it was never deemed important enough to lead the news. It will be forgotten by tomorrow and it's music to the ears of the membership.

There are wildcat strikes at a couple of other Amazon centres too.

it's like hardt and negri were right all along!

^ Now post this on anarcho twitter

seen a bunch of sniffy tweets about h&n lately, not having it

what's their analysis? what's the beef with it? is there a good introductory text or something

Ask them on twitter and let us know what they say!

damn, I thought they were a trance dj duo!

Upmarket west end furniture store.

did anyone read the DL interview with that risible moron from Muse? Probably not cos nobody wants to read such rank garbage, but he nervously dips his toes into UK politics and said he used to be left libertarian but now he's come up with a new third way model that he labels META-CENTRISM!!

I haven't seen the link and don't want to.

This could be big:

Never meta-centrist I liked.

Dockers going on strike is more like the 60s than the 70s... and they can wreak serious havoc.

This is good to see:
