The case is that the bould Enoch was suspended from his teaching job after refusing to refer to a transgender student by their preferred name or using the pronoun "they" when talking about the studend in the third person.  Knowing the Burke family, I would not be at all surprised if he was bullying the child.

After being suspended pending disciplinary action, he kept turning up to the school to "teach", so the school got an injunction, which he promptly broke.  Gardaí were called and removed him and the school requested remedy for the contempt.  As a result the judge jailed him for two days to see id he would see sense, but after a hearing he refused to purge his contempt and will be in the Joy for at least another week, and likely until after his sacking.

Of course this muppet has destroyed his teaching career and his whole life because he just had to whip his bigotry out and start waving it around like a length of wavin.

In continuation the mouldy pillock remains in jail because he's too fucking stupid to admit he's wrong. Stick him in the oubliette and have done with it.

15 year old sex trafficking victim killed her rapist in his sleep. Now she must pay restitution to his family in the amount of $150,000. Fuck this prosecutor. I hope that prosecutor, whoever they are, suffers in the most inhumane way possible. I really do. And then I hope they're forced to pay restitution to their assailant. And then I hope they go homeless, and are forced to live on the streets for the remainder of their days. I hope that their family disowns them, and that people spit on them as they walk past.

I didn't gleam anything from the article indicating it was so but the prosecutor(s) may have been public. If so, he/she/they didn't really have any more choice than the judge. If you are an attorney working for the state, you don't get to choose which cases you work on. It works the same way for public defenders. I'm sure most of them don't enjoy defending rapists and murders but somebody has to do it.

They could have presented the case in such a way it got thrown out of the court. Instead they took the easy case to burnish their win record for when they go for bigger office.

Kinda irks me when people blame E2 for colonialism, since she and her father (George VI) were the monarchs who oversaw the dissolution of the Empire. Sort of like blaming your Abraham Lincoln for slavery.

Given how colonialism ended, I'm not surprised quite a lot of people have been giving Brenda a kicking.

Lol, President of China has no time for the pope

Quote:The Vatican told China that Pope Francis was willing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping while both leaders where in the Kazakh capital but China said there was not enough time, a Vatican source said on Thursday.

The Chinese side said they "appreciated the gesture" but that there was no free time on Xi's schedule.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

LA school district shares pro-obesity video put out by nutritionist that works for the spinoff of Kraft Foods that makes Oreo cookies and Sour Patch Candies. God help us all. We went from Michelle Obama pushing healthy eating and exercise to calling it racist to tell people it's not a good idea to eat a plate full of donuts.

M*A*S*H celebrates its 50th anniversary today, premiering Wayback in 1972 (and running for 11 seasons - thrice longer than the actual Korean war)

On Sept. 17, 1972, the TV series “M*A*S*H” premiered, and it’s not much of a stretch to assert that it changed the course of television.

Yes, there’s been a very good movie of the same name two years earlier, but many more people saw the TV series “M*A*S*H.”
