That’s all well and good. But Hermer is a traitor to the safety and security of our native people. He places the interests of immigrants and terrorists – who have murdered and injured our people, over us. His name will go on a list of those who must be tried and sentenced for their treason against us.
Too highbrow for me, I am afraid.
My observation is that powerful people change laws to suit themselves just until more powerful people come along and change them again.
Lawyers are simply interpreters of the law of the day, whatever they would like to think.
This is what people like him, who make up the traitor class, are supportive of. Quite shameful and concerning, in my opinion. All due to ‘multiculti’, of course, and supports the data from Matt Goodwin. Fair play to Alex Armstrong for highlighting this;
”72 schools across England have no white British kids. 454 schools have less than 2%”

If the highbrow is to be like this, let’s have more of it.
Lucy Connolly’s fundraiser has reached its goal, and will surely keep on growing. A big ”Fk You!” to the government and judiciary;
”You probably know of Lucy Connolly as the “Tory councillor’s racist wife” who posted a horrible tweet on the day of the Southport massacre in July last year. A bereaved mother herself, Lucy was horrified by the murder of three little girls at a holiday club and expressed her distress on social media. When she’d calmed down, a few hours later, Lucy deleted the tweet. It did not represent who she was as a person, as a wife to Ray, a loving mother to a twelve-year-old daughter, as a devoted and hugely popular childminder to small children of many different nationalities.
Lucy Connolly has paid a high price for a moment of anger. An unimaginably terrible price. Sir Keir Starmer threatened there would be heavy punishments for anyone arrested in connection with the Southport riots. He called them “far right thugs”. Lucy was arrested, she was denied bail to which she was entitled as a person of previously exemplary character and taken to prison. She was petrified. Lucy was advised by her solicitor to plead guilty because she’d be “out by Christmas”.”

But what of the others that were jailed for similar? Does Wayne O’Rourke have a fundraiser to help him rebuild his life? Are we even familiar with any of the other people’s names, and do we know how they’re bearing up, or have they vanished from our consciences due to lack of interest/exposure, even by so-called ‘citizen journalists’?
”Many may not be aware but…
When certain Southport protestors were held on remand last year, some were given reeducation courses on “diversity”.
This is what happened to Daffron Williams (pictured), an Afghanistan and Iraq veteran suffering from PTSD, while he was at HMP Swansea.
His crime? Social media posts.
One post said: “Civil war is here. The only thing that’s missing is bullets. That’s the next step.”
Another: “I am racist as f***, only to those who sap the life out of society and disrespect culture. Our future as British is so uncertain it is unreal.”
Another post included an AI image one of a child dressed as a medieval knight carrying sword next to lion. The caption read, “Time to wake up the lion to save our children’s future”.
He was sentenced to 2 years in prison after pleading guilty to stirring up racial hatred.
Just sent an FOI request over to HMPPS and the MoJ to see exactly what this “diversity” module at HMP Swansea entailed…
Could be interesting.
Williams should be released fairly soon as half his sentence is to be served on license.”

Three long time friends with serious Communist links are Sir Kneel , Lord Herbert & hate not hopes Nick Lowles , these people are hell bent on crushing the life out of the uk ! Three Enemies of the State walking amongst us !!….
Hermer is either a liar or an idiot as what he refers to as post war consensus was a violent reorderding of the world by military force with huge civilians casualties as perfectly intended side effect (and sometimes, not-so-side-effect) and the only thing which got rebuit by it was the failed league of nations, an unprecedented idea of a certain US president from second decade of the 20th century meant to guarantee “eternal world peace”. Neither the original nor the copy ever came close to achieving that.
There is no such thing as “international law” – just national sovereignty and the law is the people. Called Common Law – which is discovered law not invented rules by a bunch of self-serving galoots.
Spectator: “Yet this week the clock seemed to have been turned back to around ad 650. Hamit Coskun was convicted of a racially aggravated public order offence motivated ‘by hostility towards followers of Islam’. His crime? Setting fire to a Quran, shouting ‘fuck Islam’ and declaring the faith a ‘religion of terrorism’ outside the Turkish consulate.”
I wonder whether the Professor has any comments to make about this case in particular, and in general, on democracy in Turkey, Turkey’s islamisation and Erdogan‘s condemnation of Israel and backing of Hamas after the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.
“Kemi Badenoch said Lord Hermer “is calling people who disagree with him Nazis”. No, he wasn’t. He didn’t mention Nazis once.”
This strikes me as rather obtuse. Hermer would not have mentioned Schmitt at all had he not been a Nazi speaking at a time of Nazism.
When it comes to it being a lawyer is probably considered worse than a serial killer as at least you can trust what they will do.
