Epic WTF

Local to me but...

https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/2115427.html

Headline is "ADR politician quits party after links with far-right Civitas party revealed"

however... buried in the text is this corker...

Yim also spoke at a Civitas event in November 2022 and came under fire for statements she made on the origins of Covid-19. Religious historian Mike Richartz noted: "She says that the Covid epidemic was planned by Jews, which she bases on the antisemitic pamphlet 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion'

How the fuck did that not get any attention but being pally with a French far right party was the thing that made her resign

From the same fan forums...

Them: "How about a game where Jesus is just an ordinary guy who just got his hands on some Ancient Aliens technology?"

Everybody with a brain: "Nope." "Nope, nope." "For fuck's sake, we get enough shit from the Christians who think computer games cause all crime and evil"

The next week: "How about a game where the Islamic Revolution in Iran was a Templar plot and the good guys didn't stop it in time?"

Vaguely sane people: "Jesus, no." "How about we kill you before anybody else hears you had that idea?" "Will the fact that most of us have terrible beards keep us safe?" "While there's a certain irony in a game company known for games about a cult of killers being targeted by suicide bombers, how about NOOOOOO!"

Looking forward to "How about Trump being the master of the Templars?", "How about Putin being the master of the Templars" and "What about Brexit being a Templar plot?". Not really.

Mel Gibson would say stuff like that and it would be fine...blame alcohol/illegal or legal drugs.

Sounds better than a public toilet I went to in China that was just a large unlit room and a open trench with a line of blockes squatting, being the unflexible westener my preference was a end position with a wall to steady myself against but on closer inspection the wall was covered in brown finger prints and streaks

"How about a game where Jesus is just an ordinary guy who just got his hands on some Ancient Aliens technology?"

Seems ok, pretty much the plot of Stargate.

For some reason I'm thinking about Troughman.

Deleted to grim to share on reflection

Stargate turned the gods of Ancient Egypt into aliens. Unless fatwas from beyond the grave are a thing, the writers are safe.

One of my mates goes to a fetish club and it is apparently quite normal for men to be in the gents wanting to be pissed on.

One of my mates

Riiight

Nightmare, I can hardly manage to piss if someone is using the next urinal, let alone actually in mine, looking up at me.

And I doubt that waiting for them to leave whilst waiting for a cubicle to come free would work in this instance. No fetish clubs for me...

No fetish clubs for me...

I'm sure there's a snooker referee fet. Those white gloves and the authority.....

Absolutely no issue with that, imagine the place could start to stink mind. Someone doing it in secret with no consent messes with me though.

Reading up on Troughman he actually seems like a really solid guy who's done a lot for gay people in Australia.

Yeh the link I removed was an ancient Internet clip of a chap in a gimp suit swimming in a septic tank, I'm sure he is a wonderful human being in a different scenario

Yeah, DJ has his moments.

Lol.

chap in a gimp suit swimming in a septic tank

Is that a euphemism for being on lfgss?

Boy kills woman while trying to steal her car and only gets a driving charge. WTF, so he will get a small fine and has to visit a driver awareness course, worst case a driving ban?
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/03/boy-13-admits-killing-sheffield-woman-by-driving-over-her-in-her-own-car

A person convicted of causing death by dangerous driving is liable to imprisonment for up to 14 years and a driving ban of at least 2 years for an offence committed before 28 June 2022.[2][3] The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 increased the penalties greatly, with the maximum sentence changed to life imprisonment and the period of disqualification changed to 5 years at the minimum for offences committed on or after this date.[4][5] Endorsement is obligatory on conviction.[6] The offence carries three to eleven penalty points (when the defendant is exceptionally not disqualified).[7]

TBH you’re closer to the truth.

Damn, can't believe he might be banned from driving until he's 18.

The ban starts when he eventually passes his (now enhanced) test.

If he's found driving before that then it's likely to be a custodial sentence.

Still, a 5 year driving ban for killing someone with a car...

What charges do you think would stick and what sort of sentence would you recommend for a 12-year old?
