Mick should pay his taxes and the creditors he owes before jet-setting out to support terrorists.


What terrorists?

The terrorists are Israel, the US and the EU for committing, supporting and turning a blind eye to a genocide.

Hoping for a kettle of boiling water to be accidentally spilt over this pair when they arrive in prison.


Maybe David can indicate the potential sentences handed down but I can't imagine it will be much and certainly won't reflect the seriousness of the crime.

22 years plus 5 years ECS I understand for the male.

Crazy, not even a day in jail for murdering a newborn. I didn't know you could be diagnosed as having a mental health condition nearly 30 years after the time in question. Does being depressed mean it's OK to kill?

Murder is notoriously difficult to prove. In this case a plea to a lesser charge of manslaughter was accepted.

Manslaughter sentences are wild but largely in keeping with what Parliament has suggested they should be.

Parliament need to sort this out if it's too lenient.

Depends on the case. Different jurisdictions, but when you compare this case to the Tristan Sherry murder trial, where there were convictions for murder when it seemed it was manslaughter or nothing.

I thought murder or self defence was the obvious outcome in the Sherry case.  That said I saw a stat a few years ago that all cases involving a death that had ever to that point come before the Special Criminal Court had resulted in a conviction.  I know many lawyers have nicknamed it the Special Conviction court

Wallace supports Putin, Assad and the Houthis.
That's enough terrorists for me.

Saw a video posted by someone on social media in memory of their child who died in tragic circumstances. The video had photos/videos from the wake/funeral. Photos of the dead child, them holding the dead child, an older sibling standing beside the open coffin etc.
Not going in to what case it was or where it happened.
Honestly don't know what to say.

I have also seen the video/photos. The older sibling, who is also very young is pictured holding the child. I hate to think of how this child will cope in later years As we all know once these things are posted on social media they are there forever.

I can't imagine the heartbreak and grief the parents are going through. They are probably in no condition mentally to realise the reaction and outcomes the videos will produce. You would like to think calmer heads would have advised them to think twice about posting the videos/photos.
Never underestimate the power of complaining

Performative grief?  Is that we are are now?  How many levels of f**k right off are there left in life?  I'm sure though there is a market for this as well as people as so vacuous so they need the dopamine hit of online 'approval'.
