How many hundred members are there on here ? It would be a miracle if there weren't any.

Pete Hegseth has reportedly told Mrs Miller that he hates her husband, and wouldn't trust him to babysit.

Trump is more of a low IQ, narcissistic Plutocrat than anything else, though he does seem to suffer with hero-worship for Xi, Putin, etc. The thing to worry about with him is who is behind the scenes pulling his strings. Farage is similarly at heart a Plutocrat, obsessed with his populist image and riding public opinion, but much better suited to vociferous opposition than being required to actually make the important decisions. I think his politics are more self-centred theatre than practical option. Yaxley-Lennon is a rabble rousing thug. I am not sure there are more than a handful on here who support him in any way, shape, or form.

Trial by jury has not been abolished in the UK.

Given the animosity often exhibited between Shia and Sunni, are Muslims themselves Islamophobic ?

Because there is no penalty for slow over rates that teams fear. Nominally 90 per day, but couldn't get close with no weather interruptions, and an extra half hour.

To turn your words back on you - in your opinion. Personally I think that you are wrong in several of your charaterisations, snd I feel that a few posters "play" you. The "Right" in politics is a broad spectrum, as is the "Left", and people may feel one particular issue/ opinion is important to them without espousing the full mindset of the more extreme wings. For instance, I know people who show Islamophobic tendencies yet vote Labour. There is plenty of evidence for Labour voters switching to Reform - are they suddenly "far right" ? Perhaps the spread of opinions on the forum is actually representative of the general population.

Whether that definition is correct or not, your application of the term to describe posters is flawed and misguided.

England on course for a record number of ducks in an Ashes series; 22 is the current record, so far this time around we have 8 in 2 and a half innings.

BBC report says 5 minutes 33 seconds.

There is a concept, often told to children, that when a pet dies it crosses a Rainbow Bridge to a land of sunshine snd open fields, and when a rainbow shows in the sky you can say hello to your deceased pets. In Reno, Nevada, a local Girl Scout group painted a wooden bridge in a public park in rainbow colours, so that people could stand in the middle of the bridge to speak to their pets. Some moron vandalised the bridge as a protest against it's symbolic support for the LGBTQ community.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

Given the OBR's pre-budget cock up, some might be inclined to retort " He would say that, wouldn't he". -
The vast majority of cases in the CJS never get near a Court or jury.

Nobody denies the existence of the "far right". People take issue with how readily you apply the epiphet to those who disagree with you.

What would Plato make of someone who uses a computer to summarise his works ?

GOOGLE AI's response to "Can I trust ChatGPT"; "You can trust ChatGPT as a tool for brainstorming and getting general information, but not as a definitive source for critical facts, professional advice, or sensitive data. Its responses can contain "hallucinations" (false information), inaccuracies, and biases, and it can misinterpret data or generate flawed code. Therefore, always critically evaluate its outputs and verify information with reliable sources, especially for topics like legal, financial, or medical matters. " Also, read this... https://www.deficambridge.org/should-we-trust-chatgpt/ It is a tool; it can provide useful summaries and collations of information, but can also come up with incorrect assumptions, and even create totally fictitious sources. It should never be relied on in isolation, or as being definitively trustworthy. As I said, if you use AI as a fount of wisdom, you are a fool. Edit; Even ChatGPT admits it is fallible; "That's a good question! Trust is important when using any technology. While I strive to provide accurate, helpful, and unbiased information, it's important to keep in mind that: I’m not infallible – I rely on the data I was trained on, which means sometimes I might not have the most up-to-date info or might make mistakes."

If there are shortages of Judges Barristers, and Magistrates, and a lack of resource within the CPS how do the changes help ?

You don't have to. The prosecution have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you are guilty.

ChatGPT is a series of algorithms and sequences of computer coding, it is not 'intelligence'. Like all such AI ChatBots it is prone to mistakes, misreadings, and sometimes the generation of total random bullshit. Anybody who uses such facilities as a fount of wisdom is a fool..

No. There are degrees of self-interest. No politician is successful and totally free of emcumbrance, even if it's just free tickets to the footy. Trump, however, takes milking his position to levels rarely seen outside dictatorships.
