wizbates Jury didn't vote the way I wanted abububu ;_;

adavies4 wizbates Did these tory MPs demand those that tore down the Berlin Wall be jailed? Saddham Hussains statue? The only sentient beings whose way of life is threatened by pulling down statues are pigeons

wizbates SuellaBraverman has consistently voted for a reduction in welfare benefits. Consistently voted against equal gay rights & laws to promote equality & human rights, including voting in favour of repealing the Human Rights Act 1998 & has been chairman of the ERG. Says it all.

wizbates And so they should, a miscarriage of justice to be sure.

wizbates Good on you

wizbates Report said the verdict isn’t being challenged and will still stand. She’s just thinking of asking the court of appeal to clarify the law on criminal damage in case other people decide to pull down a statue or whatever. Basically, they got away with it but you won’t.

wizbates Politicising the judiciary & eroding the justice system is the next step in the Tory takeover plan

wizbates Maybe she should be referring Lord Geidt's decision instead!

wizbates 🤬🤬🤮🤮

wizbates Awk beb why you so upsetti spaghetti?

wizbates I’d say unbelievable but seems entirely believable with the incumbents in Downing St. I really feel at a loss as to how to fix this madness.

wizbates HAHAHAHA SERIOUSLY PLEASE DO GO TO THE COURT OF APPEAL THEY WILL LAUGH YOU OUT OF THE BUILDING AND HUMILIATE YOU EVEN MORE 😂😂🤡🤡
