what a joke. Who are the terrorists, excepted the war criminal Tony Blair and his minions?
violence against the state is legitimate in such a state, i dont know why the IRA is leaving armed struggle.Comment

Back luck, Lucifer. I hope you get a simple case of Janet caught nicking tins from Tesco.
As I stated in a previous post, the incident with the old man perfectly illustrates that the government and police cannot be trusted with increased power. WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE. It doesn't matter if you have never so much as returned a library book late. All it requires is a case of mistaken identity or some wacko to take a dislike to you and lodge a complaint and that's itComment

Me too, Voron, me too. Contesting fines on overdue library books is about as high profile a crime as I want to be sitting on.
On the other matter, yes absolutely. All it would take is someone to tell PC Plod they heard Chico banging on about how suicide bombers are doing a wonderful job, and that's it...
In fact, now I come to think about it...Comment

Is there a list of organisations which you can join which would make you unsuitable. For example if you were a fully fledged member of the BMP - you don't have to support them, but would have thought it would make you unsuitable for certain cases.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Ok so that works. So go and sit and state that you cannot possibly give the person a fair trial based on some made up reason.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Not sure if it is the same here, but the way it works in Australia is that 30 potential jurors are paraded before the lawyers before the case. The defense is allowed to object to 12 jurors and the prosecution can object to 6. In this way you get 12 jurors who more or less satisfy the demographic that the defense wants.
With this in mind, consider dressing particularly chav-like or scruffy and hope you get thrown out by the prosecution.Comment

FFS it's not difficult to get out of jury duty
Just tell them you have a job, pay taxes and go to church regularly.
