I don’t usually care for subtweets, but it is a fact that the very worst kind of person is the one who forces you to get up early on Saturday so that “we” can do Park Run and then refuses to get out of bed leaving you to chug around a frozen field on your own.
It is almost - almost - egregious enough to justify waiving 4 years of anonymity and instigating a 300k-follower Twitter pile-on.

All purely hypothetical, of course.
A certain person has now seen this tweet. Their only comment: “Parkrun is one word.”

Not a flicker of contrition.

This “crackdown on soft justice” will affect a tiny % of offenders, *not* all, or even most, violent offenders.

Meanwhile, a new report published today by @westerncircuit shows that victims are having to wait TWO YEARS for trials.

[THREAD]
I’ve tweeted about the new sentencing policy before, below. It doesn’t apply to the most dangerous offenders at all (#FakeLaw alert), has no evidence base behind it and will cost £100m.

But let’s look for now at the claim that it “puts victims first”.
Today’s report from the @westerncircuit shows that due to police cuts, changes to bail rules and @MoJGovUK cuts to court sitting days (the number of days courtrooms are allowed to open), the average time taken for cases to conclude has rocketed over the last 10 years:

Good lord. What a ridiculous piece. Apparently Keir Starmer was a judge while he was Director of Public Prosecutions.

How does this #FakeLaw get past a subeditor?
Also today I’ve learned that the DPP has the power to set prison sentences. Who knew?
Quite how the Code for Crown Prosecutors can be said to “lean towards protecting the British state” is also an intriguing mystery.

Gutter journalism. #FakeLaw from beginning to end.

1. Khan was not “given £350,000”. This is a lie. That was the overall cost of legal aid in his criminal proceedings in 2012. This is like saying someone who receives a NHS heart transplant is “given” the cost of the operation.
2. Readers are invited to conclude that £350,000 is too much to spend on this case. The journalist has not bothered to tell you any of the context that you would need to even *begin* to assess whether that cost is too high, too low, or about right. Such as...
3. How much of that figure includes VAT, which goes to the Treasury? How many lawyers & support staff worked on the case? What work was involved? How many hours, days, months went into this extremely serious case where the defendants were looking at potential life sentences?

With just 20% move in the stock, you can make 3-6% on your portfolio in only a few days. Here is how:
My 1-on-1 coaching student from NewYork, @AnthonyGiaconia, bought this NASDAQ stock #RUN. At the time of purchase, the stock was meeting all our requirements & was resting around a rising 50DMA.

On 17th June, it broke out from 2T VCP formation & he got in at 17.05 with 1R risk
2 days later, on 19th June, #RUN fell 7.5% from days high only to close in the upper 80% range of the entire day. A drop like that must have shaken out many weak holders.

That strong closing, after the shakeout, only increased the confidence in the trade & led to his 2nd entry

Fact Check: True ✅

More or less sad AF than wearing a mask over facepaint in public?

Basically. Except using 13+ warriors at the same time to do it instead of just one 😂

Sure! Make sure to also include the video where Percy explains why he's giving discovery to a non-party to share publicly 🙃

Also: if you picked "Screech and Percy are only in this for the grift money" in the betting pool, please see the cashier to collect your LOLbux

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
