Henry Nowak inquest...

I know you've been locked up for a long time, but you have access to the internet.
Ever heard of the soviet union?
Albania?
Yugoslavia?
Easy Germany?
Venezuela?
Cuba and North Korea aren't runaway successes either for the people, though commies still in power. And Zimbabwe - Mugabe had Marxist ideas.

Have you read Johnny's claim?
Correct, lots of gullible poorly educated people vote left because they believe in communism despite the failure of every single communist regime.
Cuba's problems are not caused by the Communist ideology, but by US's fear of it, (or colonial desires) and thus sanctions.

And Zimbabwe - Mugabe had Marxist ideas.
Marxism and Communism are different. Marxism recognises the existence of Capitalists.
 
Readers may remember the case of a disabled man sitting on a wall at one of the Southampton protests, who was dragged to the ground and violently beaten, for no reason, by several police thugs. It was filmed. He was former paratrooper Matt Styler, aged 50, and he was arrested and charged with police assault. This week he was in court, but didn't fall into the same trap laid for Lucy Connolly, no. He pleaded not guilty and was released, there being no case against him.

One person being released because the CPS decided that there was insufficient evidence to achieve a guilty verdict, does not negate the violent actions of the other thugs:

If they didn't think they had a case then why drag him to court? Sounds like they were hoping that they could scare him into pleading guilty while there was no case.

He's been in prison for 2 weeks, they didn't even give him bail. I can't see any justification at all for this, other than political control of anti-government protestors. But in his case he wasn't even protesting, he was just there.

I hope he now sues.

It's the CPS decision to prosecute, ot not.
There was a case, but his not guilty plea meant a jury would decide, and the CPS decided that they insufficient evidence to convince the jury.

He's been in prison for 2 weeks, they didn't even give him bail.
That would have been up to a court to decide, not the police.

I can't see any justification at all for this, other than political control of anti-government protestors.
Of course you can't. There's lots of things that you can't see any justification for, and there's lots of thing that you imagine without justification. :rolleyes:

But in his case he wasn't even protesting, he was just there.
How do you know he wasn't protesting? Any evidence to support your assertion? :rolleyes:

I hope he now sues.
Then I suspect the onus would be on him to prove that "he was just there". :rolleyes:
The police might have some evidence but insufficient to convince a jury.

No - the police could have released him on bail.

Even if he was protesting, was that not his right to do so?

Given that we imprison non-violent environmental protestors for several years, maybe the police were keen to fight the constant accusations of 2-tier policing.


Then I suspect the onus would be on him to prove that "he was just there". :rolleyes:

As with Mohammed Amaaz & Amaad.
