Where on earth has the money been coming from?!

Could it be the National Security Strategy is made up largely of defence contractors?

I don’t know but I’d put money on it

Obviously i could be talking shite … might have a quick look…

" *In our second analysis of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme we uncover how MPs dined with generals and arms company representatives"

Long read but yeah it sounds fairly cosy. Not saying there’s not a heightened risk but there’s a lot of dough up for grabs here

Part of me feels like in 5 years time we’ll be reading about LL getting some huge payout for false imprisonment and miscarriage of justice…

Bit sketchy

It feels like you get lumped in with flat earthers and chemtrail nuts for even saying the whole thing seems iffy.

Didn’t all the previous news articles have references to some weird diary she had basically admitting stuff she’d done or have I imagined that?

I think she wrote a few things like “i am evil” stuff like that but nothing specific

Yeah there was, she’d written things like ‘I am evil’ and ‘I did this’ in it. Which obviously looks clearly insane.

But I think the defence tried to argue it was more like she had persuaded herself of that, because of everything that was going on.

There’s definitely reasonable doubt. Part of the evidence used to convict her was a piece of research that was misinterpreted.

The doctor whose research it was came forward and said so himself I’m sure.

Yeah, obviously got no idea of she’s guilty or not but “beyond reasonable doubt” is definitely starting to look like a stretch.

Another case of the public emotion and desire for a bogie man to be real gripping a story so tightly that one narrative can be the only narrative.

Like the McCanns, there has to be a peado roaming the streets of Portugal snatching children in the middle of the night, it couldn’t possibly be anything the tipsy middle class parents could have done or their negligence because “they’re on holiday” and if you say any different you’re as bad as the nonces out there

Do you think the McCanns are protesting too much then? Covering up their own neglegence with constant need to investigate their missing child?
I mean, it’s not impossible but you’d think that if they were evil or at fault they’d make a point of moving on and live their life.
Something happened to their kid and whether she fell into a hole or was taken, seems the parents still want to know. I certainly would.

Now they’re looking at charging Letby with more murders.

Sean Combs found not guilty of the most serious charges. Wtf - maximum 20 years but clearly he won’t get that.

Iv listened to a bunch of podcasts about this and his behaviour is fucking horrific

Grim

20 years since the tube bombings

I remember the thread on N26

Crazy
