The decision not to charge Nick Lowles is bizarre and definitely has all the aroma of two tier politically motivated justice. That Allison Pearson warranted the heavy hand of the law and Lowles zilch demonstrates all we need to know about impartial application of the law

All I can say is that Hope not hate appears to have the same phrase book as War is peace, Slavery is freedom. In other words they are the very opposite of the name on the tin

I think all Lefties hate their countries and yearn for a Far Left communo-fascist one world government that can be remote and remove them from all blame and authority. We saw how the EU did this here and has given us nothing but pygmies in government and Parliament.

Excellent detective work, Laurie Wastell, on the past life of this Lord of the Realm and lawyerly henchman of the Enemy Within.

Now please turn your sleuthing skills to the past lawyerly life of the Man Himself in Person, Sir Two-Tier.

Why do the choices always have to be between Hitler or Stalin? The communists pushing their agendas are no better ethically or morally than the fascists.There are 100’s of millions of us that want nothing to do with either. We just want common sense governess, equal treatment under the law, fair taxes, Governments not run by extremist nut jobs from either end of the political spectrum. So one while one side is uncovering the ills of the other, they are ignoring the ills their own ideology creates.

Makes you wonder if the Wall coming down in 1991 was a good idea!

In East Germany they regret it and would love to rebuild it to keep out western Far Left fascism.

Shortly after Berlin wall came down in 1989, Helmut Kohl (CDU, chancellor of the FRG) held a speech in Berlin where he mentioned the possibility of German reunification. This was rudely rejected by Walter Momper (SPD), then the so-called governing mayor of West-Berlin, with the words (quoted from memory)

Warum quatschen sie denn jetzt von „Wiedervereinigung“, das will doch hier überhaupt niemand hören!

[Why are you blathering about “reunification” now, despite nobody here wants to listen to that?]

At the earliest opportunity, Momper’s party had formed an East-German branch ‘cunningly’ named SDP so that nobody would notice that it was really the same party and they had loved to keep two German states and thus, have twice the amount of government positions at their disposal. The SED (former state party) quickly transmogrified itself into the PDS¹ which is meanwhile (current name Die Linke, The Left) a force to reckon with on the German left and behind-the-scenes responsible for much of the leftward lurch of Germany under Angela Merkel, former MfS² informer and daugher of a family who voluntarily immigrated into the GDR from the FRG.

We should maybe have kept the wall to keep the communists out. But on the other hand, we were (and are) all Germans and not just pawns of parties named with some combination of the letters S, D, and P (and Ö).

¹ This means for a short while we had the Social-Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the Social-Democratic Party (SDP) and the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS). These are obviously all completely different.

² Ministry for Security of the State, the Stasi.

Additional bit of information: The name SPD goes back to the 19th century and by that time, democractic didn’t have the positive meaning it has gained meanwhile. Originally, it mean dedicated to overthrowing the established political order¹ in order to replace it with some kind of people’s republic.

¹ Constitutional monarchy.

People getting shot by soldiers (or torn to pieces by mines) for trying to escape from a state imprisoning them is quite obviously such an ideal state of affairs that no one could ever want to change it .

Why do you believe you could chose Hitler in the unlikely event you would want that?

In 1939, Germany and the USSR jointly invaded Poland. This caused England and France to declare war on Germany but not on the USSR they ultimately married while handing Poland over as wedding gift (plus everything in Europe eastward of the current German eastern border and westward of the current Russian western border). Hence, you (so to say) quite voluntarily chose Stalin and that’s why you’re still haunted by his political heirs today. The communists never kept their intentions to take over all of the world in order to remake it in their own image secret.

I do enjoy a good demolition job. Excellent work.

The conclusion that Hermer is clearly another traitor is unavoidable.

““if Western societies objectify women by sexualising them then it’s no wonder that some Muslims have fallen into temptation”……..Well they’re already sexual so that is BS for a start.

What he meant to say is allow them to walk around stark naked (for Muslim standards) in public, marking this a the oldest rapist’s excuse in the world: She was really asking for it! She wore a miniskirt and I just couldn’t control myself!

I think I have an idea or two what to do with people who suffer from this overcome by an immoral alien culture-problem and it would have to do something with avoiding avoidable exposure by reducing intercultural mixing by wide¹ spatial separation.

¹ About 4967 miles, the distance between London and Karachi.

If this was happening in Germany, there would be no reason to write an article about it as that’s probably the biography of almost all SPD, Die Linke and Green Party politicians and a sizeable subset of the CDU/CSU and FDP as well.

If Harmer is looking for more work representing prisoners whose human rights are being abused then, perhaps, he might like to take up the case of Tommy Robinson.

It is quite clear that Robinsons treatment is not prison as it should be but is Cruel and Unusual punishment. This is obviously contrary to the Human Rights legislation, and I am amazed that the Attorney General has not taken any action against the Justice dept, or whoever is responsible. In fact we should crowd fund action against both He and the PM for this failure to act, the failure is clearly political in nature, and Britain often acts against other Countries for such violations in the UN. Elon and Trump may well mention it in the UN, putting Britain in the Piriah state category!

It should be noted that Hope not Hate is one of the bete noise of the Trump administration and Musk, so any Gov’t association with it doesn’t do us any favours.

PS shouldn’t it be “Hope not – HATE” ?
