The court decision is correct.


That right there is literally the statement of a fascist

Before you disagree, read it back and have a little think


People who want the police to work to protect law & order are fascists?

You sound like Rick from The Young Ones.


It's a scary world in your head

How would you like it if it happened to your sister, mother etc? They had it coming right?

No?


Anyone involved with these disruptive, anarchistic organisations is fair game for deep undercover operations such as what happened in this case.


Ok so you're cool with a woman being sexually abused to prevent a few protests

You're a really nasty peace of work


Don’t be silly now.

She was in a willing sexual relationship with him. There was no sexual abuse. She wasn’t forced to do anything.


It's amazing the standards that some people have

I'm honestly shocked that anyone would defend this scumbag or the circumstances


In agreement with Phil on this one.

What a load of bollocks for thinking you can press charges on a man for consensual sex, how do you know she didn't initiate it?

No one "targeted" her, the police put a mole in their camp and he developed a relationship with a member, whether it was just for sex or to fit in more, it doesn't matter, it was consensual.

His identity doesn't mean anything, men lie about their age, their wealth all sorts to bed a woman and as low as I find that, low, is not illegal.

Grow up and stop meandering in this victim mentality, more serious injustices happen around the world daily, some anarchist lady getting her rocks off with a copper is not one of them.


Fuckin tell me to grow up? Get bent

You think it's ok for the police to con a woman into a sexual relationship, to invade her life, to solve relatively minor crimes?

Get a grip it's you who's got the skewed attitude on this

You're basically saying it's no holds barred to solve pretty much any crime

Minor gripe but why do they call it the sports "personality" of the year?

That makes me think it's actually about their personality/story, why not call it "sports person" or "Athlete" of the year?

Yeah it's crap. Tim Henman won it ffs. Personality?

It's an old use of the word more akin to the 1950s. Basically meaning "person of note"

It doesn't work in the modern language

That's a bit disingenious... Me, and come to think of it, the whole of Train's of the South spotting club think Tim has bags of character and personality.

The netball team should not have won the sporting moment of the year. No-one cared really. It should have been England winning the penalty shoot out, there were celebrations in the streets for goodness sakes.

It would have been embarrassing to celebrate winning a match that didn't culminate in actually winning anything though.

How lame would that have been? Loool

The thing about the netball moment was that you needed to have watched the previous games, understood the background story and then watched the match.

Only then would you have understood the sheer ecstasy the winning moment created. And....I have never watched a netball match before.
