    Here's a hint: You didn't have to explain anything which was not a
    result of your own error (if error it was).

    You need to explain that. As I said earlier:

    My OP included:

    "Will we still have to pay for extra protection/policing of Jewish
    people to the exclusion of everybody else despite the fact the attack
    was not terrorism nor antisemitism as we now know?"

    That is not wrong and hasn't changed.

    Where to begin...?

    You said that the money was going to Jewish communities and behaved... >well... boorishly... when it was pointed out to you (by several posters) >that you could not be more wrong.

    As to your latest claim that addressing threat and crime is all wrong >because it will mean less protection for people not suffering the
    threats...

    ...is it really necessary to point out that this applies to ALL crime? Any >officers dealing with one thing are, by definition, at least temporarily >unable to deal with other crime reports from other places?

    Come on...

    Starmer said:

    "A further u25 million will be invested to increase security for Jewish communities after the suspected terror attack in north London, the
    Government has said."

    Here's one report, there are dozens of others:

    You didn't have to explain it. In fact you failed to explain it,
    you got it wrong, and you had to have other people explain it to you.

    Did you reply to the right person?

    Yes.

    OK you missed this:

    "Will we still have to pay for extra protection/policing of Jewish people
    to the exclusion of everybody else despite the fact the attack was not terrorism nor antisemitism as we now know?"

    That is not wrong and hasn't changed.

    If you believe any of it has been corrected with facts please let me know.

    There was a policeman standing outside one of the polling stations in

    I see.

    So the only "fact" you're actually concerned with is the "fact"
    that the government made the claim.

    You're not concerned with the "fact" that to implement such a
    measure is clearly impossbile in practice; when 63% of the
    population of the area are not even Jewish.

    But nevertjeless for the sake of argument you're going to
    pretend you really believe that all u25 million will solely
    be of benefit to Jewish residents of Golders Green.

    Just as you're going to pretend that you always believe
    everything the Government says, that you've never heard
    of public relations; and that your interst in this matter
    has nothing wharsoever to do with your seeming obsession
    with Jews, the Holocaust, their supposed special treatment,
    etc. etc.

    Right. So had the Government said thay were going to spend u25 million protecting the people of Golders Green from people with mental health
    issues (AKA "Golders Green Syndrome") would you have been happy

    So the government has clearly said the money is to increase security for >>Jewish communities, not me.

    I see.

    So the only "fact" you're actually concerned with is the "fact"
    that the government made the claim.

    That is exactly the point I made and at least two people said it was
    wrong. It isn't, it's what Starmer said


    You're not concerned with the "fact" that to implement such a
    measure is clearly impossbile in practice; when 63% of the
    population of the area are not even Jewish.

    But nevertjeless for the sake of argument you're going to
    pretend you really believe that all u25 million will solely
    be of benefit to Jewish residents of Golders Green.

    I have proved it is what Starmer said which is all I claimed.


    Just as you're going to pretend that you always believe
    everything the Government says, that you've never heard
    of public relations; and that your interst in this matter
    has nothing wharsoever to do with your seeming obsession
    with Jews, the Holocaust, their supposed special treatment,
    etc. etc.

    I have only ever claimed that is what Starmer said. In general terms I
    don't believe anything any government says.


    The charges laid were for murder with no mention of antisemitic hate >>charges which seems to be what the press calls them. There were several >>reports that he was mentally ill of course, I tend to assume people will >>have seen them in a high profile matter like this.

    Right. So had the Government said thay were going to spend u25 million >protecting the people of Golders Green from people with mental health
    issues (AKA "Golders Green Syndrome") would you have been happy
    with that ?

    The horse is dead sunbeam stop flogging it.

    Here's what you actually said

    " In its panic the government has agreed to donate

    Which sounds very much as if you did believe it. Doesn't it ?

    So why did you believe Keir Strarmer on this ?



    I merely reported it and asked if it would proceed since no charges relating to antisemitism have been brought as you have quoted below.

    But you still believed it probably *was* going to proceed.

    All you were doing there was questioning the stated justificatyion
    for the payment; which in your view at least, was mistaken.

    So you still believed Keir Starmer; even if in your view
    he seemed a bit confused in this instance.

    But then previously, you stated above

    " In general terms I don't believe anything any government says.

    Obviously it was. The mental illness of the offender is a largely irrelevant diversion. A lot of right and left-wing terrorists (and indeed criminals in general) are found to be mentally ill. This does not negate any political ideology they hold or any politically motivated crimes they commit. The sort
    of mental illness that makes people incapable of any rational decision is actually excessively rare, and English law often does not acknowledge it even then.

    No you weren't.

    You keep saying it wasn't an antisemitic attack, when it perfectly >>obviously was. And, you know it was.

    No, that's not correct. You merely invented a tale that it was going
    to be donated to the Golders Green Jewish community in order to fight
    potential crime.
    It was pointed out to you that this was not correct.

    "A further -u25 million will be invested to increase security for Jewish communities after the suspected terror attack in north London, the
    Government has said."

    Wherever that quote (if it is one) came from, it's not relevant.

    *You* said that the money -u25,000,000 - was going *to* "Jewish Communities".

    You did not say that it was going to the police or to any other public authority. You said it was going to the "Jewish Community".

    On 5th May at 22:24, this is what you wrote (inter alia):

    QUOTING JG:
    You must have missed the report that -u25 million is being paid to
    Jewish communities for extra policing because of the antisemitic attack
    in Golders Green presumably (which we now know were nothing to do with antisemitism or terrorism)? Starmer made the announcement.
    ENDQUOTE

    [I recovered that from my "sent" folder. You must be able to do the
    same, except that you can go straight to what you wrote, whereas I had
    to extract it from the post I wrote in response, which follows immediately.]

    QUOTING JN:
    "...paid TO Jewish communities"?

    How? And in what form?

    As compensation for past failures of policing?

    It doesn't sound too likely, does it?
    ENDQUOTE

    Others have made exactly the same point. You have not accepted that you
    were wrong, especially on the point that the improved policing (when and
    if it materialises) will benefit averyone in the area, not just people
    who happen to be Jewish.

    I am not sure how relevant the fact is that the assailant was Muslim. It would have been equally obviously antisemitism if he had been Christian, or even Jewish. It would have required some striking contrary evidence (such as the victims being personal enemies) for it to be anything else.

    I am not going to quibble about meanings of words, no.

    You put forward your opinion that this man deliberately travelled to
    somewhere to stab 2 Jews.

    I said the he is mentally ill (reported so a fact) so we have no idea if
    he was able to know where he was going, it may come out in court.

    I also pointed out that he faces no charges of antisemitic hate crime,
    again fact.

    You will also be aware that under the Human Rights Act 1985, Schedule 1, Article 6, RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL, Clause 2 "Everyone charged with a
    criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according
    to law."

    So, once again, Ii have quoted facts, you have stated an opinion. I fully support you right to have and express an opinion but it is just that, it
    is not fact.

    I said the he is mentally ill (reported so a fact) so we have no idea if
    he was able to know where he was going, it may come out in court.

    I also pointed out that he faces no charges of antisemitic hate crime,
    again fact.

    You will also be aware that under the Human Rights Act 1985, Schedule 1, Article 6, RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL, Clause 2 "Everyone charged with a
    criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty
    according to law."

    So, once again, Ii have quoted facts, you have stated an opinion. I
    fully support you right to have and express an opinion but it is just
    that, it is not fact.

    Ah, right.

    So there is no antisemitism unless and until someone is charged with it
    as an aggravating factor and duly convicted?

    On the same bais, you m ust believe that there is very little racism in western society because there are very few related charges and convictions.

    Thanks for the clarification. It helps a lot.

    I am not sure how relevant the fact is that the assailant was Muslim. It would
    have been equally obviously antisemitism if he had been Christian, or even Jewish. It would have required some striking contrary evidence (such as the victims being personal enemies) for it to be anything else.

    Before the election results swamped the news on TV, a senior member of the Jewish community was on the Bbc being interviewed about Golders Green, and
    one of his responses to the interviewer was that the greatest threat to his community came from what he said was rCyfundamental IslamrCO.

    It is becoming popular these days to use proxies to carry out a policy or agenda, e.g. Hezbollah, but those proxies can and do include individuals
    who have been suitably motivated by various means.

    We have indeed discussed this at length. There are a few crimes that are directly related to racism, such as inciting racial hatred. But generally violent crimes are charged according to the nature of the violence, with any racial motivation treated as an aggravating factor for sentencing, although naturally referred to during the evidence.


    So if a racist goes and attacks some Jewish people not known to him with a knife he is going to be charged with attempted murder (or murder) and the antisemitism is not a separate offence that is charged. Even though, as in
    this case, it is (albeit potentially rebuttably) self-evident.

    I find it surprising that the discussion you referred to did not make this apparent to you.

    On the same basis there is very little speeding and even less uninsured

    So, your conclusion is not based on facts then, it is based on your *assumption* that a charge exists which has "hate" or "antisemitism"
    or similar in the name that would be appropriate in this case if it
    involved antisemitism and so the lack of such a charge is therefore
    meaningful.

    As far as I can tell, your assumption is false. There exist offences
    such as "racially or religiously aggravated assault" (Crime and
    Disorder Act 1998 s29) which can be charged in cases of assault,
    ABH, GBH, etc, but there appears to be no such thing as "racially or religiously aggravated attempted murder". The "aggravated assault"
    offence has a maximum of 7 years, whereas attempted murder has a
    maximum of life.

    I think in a case like this, the "hate crime" aspect would only come
    into it at the sentencing phase, and would potentially cause an increase
    in the sentence.

    We have laws against religious discrimination mainly because religious
    people can't get along with other religious people. Overwhelmingly, it
    isn't non-religious people discriminating against the religious.

    I asked you the same question as Jon a few days ago. You simply ignored it.

    The answer is that in the UK there's no crime of racially-aggravated
    murder or attempted murder. It's just charged as murder or attempted murder.

    When it comes to court, evidence of racial motivation can be presented,
    and, if proved, the judge takes that into account when sentencing.



    Multiple posters have attempted to put you right, but you have ignored
    them. Here's a post from Mark:

    You wrote:
    If terrorism or hate crimes were involved
    then he would have been charged with them, he hasn't [been].


    And, in reply, Mark wrote:
    He's been charged with attempted murder. Which is one of the most
    serious crimes there is.

    "Hate crime" isn't a specific crime, it's a category covering many
    different crimes. Of which attempted murder is one. Nobody is ever
    charged with "hate crime", they get charged with whatever crime they
    actually committed, and then, if it is a hate crime, that will be taken
    into account when sentencing (assuming the outcome is a conviction or
    guilty plea).

    Equally, there's no such crime as "Terrorism". Unlike hate crime, there
    are a number of offences which are specifically created by The Terrorism
    Act 2000. However, all of these are used in cases where prosecuting a different crime would not match the seriousness of the offence. In this particular case, though, there is no Terrorism Act offence which carries
    a more severe penalty than attempted murder. So there is no reason not
    to charge the attacker with attempted murder.

    Why do you say racist? I thought the people he attacked were visibly religious. So if we are to assume anything it should be religiously motivated hatred.

    I very much dislike the way religious people misrepresent religious discrimination as racism.

    There is a very strong correlation between a person's religion and the
    religion of their parents - and an even stronger correlation between a
    person's race and that of their parents :-) So in many cases, whether
    someone is discriminating against religion or race is almost a moot
    point, one is a proxy for the other.

    Religious discrimination is about discriminating against people
    because of what they believe, what they choose to believe, not because
    of what they are.

    It might be. But much more commonly, it isn't, it's about what the
    person doing the discriminating chooses to believe.

    The disadvantage of 'racism' as a term is that human races do not really

    I note that once again you provide no evidence...

    I am not going to quibble about meanings of words, no.

    You will also be aware that under the Human Rights Act 1985, Schedule 1, >>>>Article 6, RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL, Clause 2 "Everyone charged with a >>>>criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty >>>>according to law."

    Ah, right.

    So there is no antisemitism unless and until someone is charged with
    it as an aggravating factor and duly convicted?

    On the same bais, you m ust believe that there is very little racism
    in western society because there are very few related charges and >>>convictions.

    Thanks for the clarification. It helps a lot.

    If it helps you to differentiate between facts and opinions it may help
    you more than you think since it is an area you struggle with.

    So... The Gospel According To Gaines: There is very little racism in the
    UK and almost no antisemitism or anti-muslim feeling here because there
    are so few charges brought detailing those things.

    On the same basis there is very little speeding and even less uninsured or >unlicenced-driving since the numbers charged are small compared to the >numbers of people driving.

    Now you are being childish. You are aware of the Human Rights Act, try and follow its principles and don't try and put you opinion across as fact.

    When it comes to court, evidence of racial motivation can be presented,

    What "hate crimes" do you say are on the statute book, available for the

    The facts are a mentally ill man got a bus to somewhere, deliberately or accidentally, we don't know, and attacked a couple of people with a knife. That is as far as it goes at the moment.

    What "hate crimes" do you say are on the statute book, available for the
    CPS to use?


    As I have said before when I raised this a year or so ago I asked that question but didn't really get anywhere.

    If these are no hate crimes he can be charged with then he hasn't

    Why do you say racist? I thought the people he attacked were visibly
    religious. So if we are to assume anything it should be religiously
    motivated hatred.

    I very much dislike the way religious people misrepresent religious
    discrimination as racism.

    There is a very strong correlation between a person's religion and the religion of their parents - and an even stronger correlation between a person's race and that of their parents :-) So in many cases, whether
    someone is discriminating against religion or race is almost a moot
    point, one is a proxy for the other.


    No, we have free will.

    Religious discrimination is about discriminating against people
    because of what they believe, what they choose to believe, not because
    of what they are.

    It might be. But much more commonly, it isn't, it's about what the
    person doing the discriminating chooses to believe.

    I think you are trying to make the point that often bad ideologies discriminate against good ideologies, but that doesn't contradict my
    point. There is a difference between judging people for what they choose
    to believe, and judging people for what they are.

    Why do you say racist? I thought the people he attacked were visibly
    religious. So if we are to assume anything it should be religiously
    motivated hatred.

    I very much dislike the way religious people misrepresent religious
    discrimination as racism. Religious discrimination is about
    discriminating against people because of what they believe, what they
    choose to believe, not because of what they are.

    We have laws against religious discrimination mainly because religious
    people can't get along with other religious people. Overwhelmingly, it
    isn't non-religious people discriminating against the religious.

    The disadvantage of 'racism' as a term is that human races do not really exist, but I think it is fairly well established that Jewish people are, socially speaking, an ethnic group as well as generally belonging the Jewish religion. I am prepared to be contradicted by anyone who actually knows what they are talking about, if necessary.


    You want your cake and to eat it to. You use the term race
    inappropriately when it suits you, and dispute it when it doesn't. You introduce ethnicity to muddy the water.

    Race exists. Diane Abbot has black skin because at least some of her
    ancestors came from Africa. It isn't because she believes she has black
    skin, it isn't because she chooses to have black skin.

    Religion is an ideology, something people choose to believe. Yes it is
    true Tommy Robinson may be ideologically racist because of his parents,
    but he has free will. It is fair to judge religious people as we judge
    Tommy Robinson.

    Ethnicity is somewhere between religion and race. However, in this
    instance it appears the attack was motivated by religious symbols,
    religious dress. You use racism inappropriately and appear to want to
    stifle my attempt to differentiate between immutable characteristics and
    free will ideology. This is in line with one of the axioms of
    antisemitism. The idea that dislike of the Jewish community is totally irrational. The idea that Jews bear no responsibility for the way other
    people treat them. You may like that axiom, but it should not be an
    axiom, it is clearly not true. We should be able to criticise the Jewish community. We should be able to criticise individuals for sustaining the Jewish community. Just as we should be able to criticise the Catholic
    Church and individual Catholics for supporting it. Just as we criticise Palestine Action as an organisation or individuals for supporting it.

    Discrimination and hate laws should protect people from oppressive
    behaviour, they should protect people with different ideological
    beliefs. However, chosen ideology is not the same as the immutable characteristics we are born with. The level and types of protection
    required are different.

    No, I'm trying to make the point that people often don't discriminate

    No, we have free will.

    Yebbut.

    The claim is that A is equivalent to B

    (Based on undisputed evidence of a strong correlation.)

    Thus if C is discriminating against A, then they are most likely
    also discriminating against B.

    However

    Nobody is suggesting that C is necessarily discriminating against
    either A or B ; or against anyone, in fact.

    Because as you rightly point out, for the sake of argument at least ,
    they have free will.

    But if they were, then they also probably would be.

    I really should have listened to myself five years ago, when I said:
    "Ok, fair enough, I give up. You're simply too stupid to be worth >>>bothering with."

    You really need to distinguish between facts and opinion.#


    Do you mean the fact that you really are stupid ?

    Or fact that in most people'e opinion, you really are stupid ?

    People are entitled to their opinions, doesn't affect me.

    What is not acceptable is persistently pushing opinions as facts.

    The facts in this matter are clear and I have not put forward anything
    except facts.

    So if a racist goes and attacks some Jewish people not known to him
    with a knife he is going to be charged with attempted murder (or
    murder) and the antisemitism is not a separate offence that is
    charged. Even though, as in this case, it is (albeit potentially
    rebuttably) self-evident.

    Why do you say racist? I thought the people he attacked were visibly
    religious. So if we are to assume anything it should be religiously
    motivated hatred.

    I very much dislike the way religious people misrepresent religious
    discrimination as racism.

    There is a very strong correlation between a person's religion and the
    religion of their parents - and an even stronger correlation between a
    person's race and that of their parents :-) So in many cases, whether
    someone is discriminating against religion or race is almost a moot
    point, one is a proxy for the other.

    No, we have free will.

    That has nothing to do with what I said above.


    It does. The goal of anti-discrimination rules is to enable equal
    opportunity, not equal outcome.

    Men are typically stronger than women. There is a difference between
    using strength as a proxy test for sex, as opposed to using sex as a
    proxy test for strength. Both might be wrong, but the reasons why are different. If a job genuinely requires strength it is reasonable to test
    for strength, even if this test tends to filter out women.

    I believe it is reasonable to judge people for being Zionist, or even
    Jewish religious. I believe it's not reasonable to judge someone
    negatively for having Jewish parents. For the avoidance of doubt, I do
    support anti-discrimination laws in preventing oppressive behaviour, but
    this should not exclude all criticism.

    This is very significant because there is a very strong meme in our
    media to stifle criticism of racism by Jews by claiming this criticism
    is racism against Jews. The fact that 70% of Jews, or whatever, may
    support Zionism and Jewish supremacy in Israel does not mean we should
    not call this out as racist.

    No idea what they are technically, my attempts some time ago to try

    "antisemitic hate crimes".

    So, your conclusion is not based on facts then, it is based on your
    assumption that a charge exists which has "hate" or "antisemitism"
    or similar in the name that would be appropriate in this case if it
    involved antisemitism and so the lack of such a charge is therefore
    meaningful.

    As far as I can tell, your assumption is false. There exist offences
    such as "racially or religiously aggravated assault" (Crime and
    Disorder Act 1998 s29) which can be charged in cases of assault,
    ABH, GBH, etc, but there appears to be no such thing as "racially or
    religiously aggravated attempted murder". The "aggravated assault"
    offence has a maximum of 7 years, whereas attempted murder has a
    maximum of life.

    I think in a case like this, the "hate crime" aspect would only come
    into it at the sentencing phase, and would potentially cause an
    increase
    in the sentence.

    My statements are based on the fact that no charges were laid for any
    sort of hate crime as I have made clear many times.

    ...and in defiance of the advice you have received multiple times now
    to the effect that there are no "hate crimes" as you describe, with
    "hate" being merely an aggravating factor.

    I haven't received "advice", if I want advice I go to professionals,
    several people have offered opinions.

    Go and find a "professional" who will confirm for you that a
    non-existent criminal offence exists.

    Yes, but my post above explains how you are mistaken in doing that;
    you are making an error and you are wrong to think that you have any
    basis for your statements. Perhaps you could try reading what I said
    and updating your position in light of it?

    Not sure of the validity of your posts, my statements are based on
    facts, I have no idea if you are qualified to explain the law.

    The fact remains no race/religious hate charges have been laid so at the >>> moment there is no suggestion it was race or religious hate.

    It seem the good people of Golders Green have received -u25 million of
    money we can's afford for chanting "antisemitism" loudly.

    Oh, my Gawd...

    Back to square 1.

    In the absence of any FACTS from anybody else my position remains the same.

    Have you made any progress in providing facts rather than your opinion?

    A man travelled from South London to one of a handful of places in North
    London where you could be certain of seeing a large number of observant Jews, for no extraneous reason that has been hinted at, and stabbed two of a group
    of men wearing Jewish religious emblems. Applying my impressive knowledge of Bayesian statistics (and a modicum of common sense) I assess the probability
    of this being an attack motivated by antisemitism at greater than 95%.

    One would have to be completely mad (or have a forlorn antisemitic agenda) to reach any different conclusion. At least in the absence of an alternative explanation. The attacker being mentally ill really does not alter this assessment.


    You are flogging a dead zebra.

    What "hate crimes" do you say are on the statute book, available for
    the CPS to use?


    As I have said before when I raised this a year or so ago I asked that
    question but didn't really get anywhere.

    If these are no hate crimes he can be charged with then he hasn't
    committed one has he?

    Well... I'll give you that much, for what it's worth (which isn't much).

    But of course, you have been told repeatedly that there is no such thing
    as a hate crime, distinct from other crimes.

    "hate", where it can be demonstrated and imputed in the commission of a
    crime, is an aggravating factor, not a crime in itself.

    And you cannot claim that that you did not know that. It has been
    explained to you many times.

    Don't think so.

    Supposing someone from Highgate had travelled by public transport to Whitechapel (where he knew no one) and stabbed a couple of men in muslim dress outside a mosque, would you think: "Ah, an unfortunate random event; nothing
    to do with them being Muslim."? If so, don't try betting on horse races.

    I can't make up my mind whether you are deliberately trolling or you've

    I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but maybe I should give you the benefit

    I can't make up my mind whether you are deliberately trolling or you've
    just confused yourself.

    I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but maybe I should give you the benefit
    of the doubt and conclude that you're simply raving? ;)

    I am not trolling I have been using Unsent since the days of Demon's
    Tenner a Month service under the tutillage of the well known taskmaster Malcolm Muir.

    Attributions get lost, sometimes deliberately, so Messrs Ribbens and
    Nugent really should be clear.

    As I said in my reply to GB attributions are important, especially for
    people like Ribbens who get confused very easily abut who said what.

    As you can see in Ribbens' post he is saying that I said since I don't
    know what charges are available for hate crimes I have suggested none has
    been committed.

    In fact, of course, I have said several times that the absence of a charge
    by the police for a hate crime is pretty good evidence that none has been committed.

    The police can only ever arrest and charge a suspect for an

    there is actual physical evidence; and which can in theory be

    Whether a hate element exists may prove much more difficult

    So which particular hate crime, or crimes, did you have in mind ?

    I have none in mind,

    That's because non exist.

    The hate element is added later by the CPS, and possibly even later
    by the Trial Judge in sentencing*; not by the police themselves.

    It's technically impossible for the police to charge anyone with a
    hate crime.

    So the absence of evidence of a hate crime charge, is not evidence
    of the absence of a hate crime.

    Your reasoning is totally flawed.

    The police can only ever arrest and charge a suspect for an
    ordinary everyday offence GBH, attempted murder etc, for which
    there is actual physical evidence; and which can in theory be
    easily proved in Court.

    Whether a hate element exists may prove much more difficult
    to establish to the satisfaction of a jury; and so will be
    decided on much later, by the CPS or the Judge.

    If you were to claim this was just a random copycat antisemitic attack by a deranged individual (as the authorities claimed about the fascist attack on Brixton market and a gay Soho pub a few years back which was of some concern
    to me as I must have walked past one of the bombs earlier that day) then it would be hard to refute your argument.

    So which particular hate crime, or crimes, did you have in mind ?

    I have none in mind,

    That's because non exist.

    The hate element is added later by the CPS, and possibly even later
    by the Trial Judge in sentencing*; not by the police themselves.

    It's technically impossible for the police to charge anyone with a
    hate crime.

    So the absence of evidence of a hate crime charge, is not evidence
    of the absence of a hate crime.

    Your reasoning is totally flawed.

    The police can only ever arrest and charge a suspect for an
    ordinary everyday offence GBH, attempted murder etc, for which
    there is actual physical evidence; and which can in theory be
    easily proved in Court.

    Whether a hate element exists may prove much more difficult
    to establish to the satisfaction of a jury; and so will be
    decided on much later, by the CPS or the Judge.

    If that had to be taken literally, and everyone suspected of a crime had

    because there would be no power of arrest and no right to question a
    suspect in an interview. Indeed, there would be no power to bring an

    crime by a police officer.

    Your childish playing with words is really tedious. The suspect in the

    The victim may be dead but the suspect is still innocent. I can't
    understand how people can argue against what the law clearly says, it's
    pointless.

    He is merely presumed to be innocent.

    That's what you yourself quoted above.

    If that had to be taken literally, and everyone suspected of a crime
    had to be actually treated as "innocent", no crime would ever be
    solved because there would be no power of arrest and no right to
    question a suspect in an interview. Indeed, there would be no power to
    bring an innocent person to trial, even if they had been witnessed
    committing the crime by a police officer.

    Oh, hang on...

    Your childish playing with words is really tedious. The suspect in the Golders Green has not been found guilty of any hate crime so is innocent uncles

    Are you his nephew?

    and until he is.

    It really is simple and you should be able to understand it.

    Without playing with any innocent words at all, I concede that your pal is totally innocent at the moment; however, it is still the case that an almost-certainly antisemitic attack *happened* and two unfortunate people *were* seriously injured in Golders Green. So his innocence doesn't change the reality for those poor people that the attack happened.

    The correct position is that he is presumed to be innocent. That is

    The point you're missing is that HRA bit that you have quoted is only
    for the purposes of the trial, ie the suspect is presumed innocent for
    the purposes of the trial.

    That bit of the HRA doesn't impinge on what you're allowed to think

    That's what you yourself quoted above.

    If that had to be taken literally, and everyone suspected of a crime had >>> to be actually treated as "innocent", no crime would ever be solved
    because there would be no power of arrest and no right to question a
    suspect in an interview. Indeed, there would be no power to bring an

    Oh, hang on...

    Your childish playing with words is really tedious. The suspect in the
    Golders Green has not been found guilty of any hate crime so is innocent
    uncles and until he is.

    It really is simple and you should be able to understand it.

    Without playing with any innocent words at all, I concede that your pal is totally innocent at the moment; however, it is still the case that an almost-certainly antisemitic attack *happened* and two unfortunate people *were* seriously injured in Golders Green. So his innocence doesn't change the
    reality for those poor people that the attack happened.


    If someone with major mental health problems and a form of psychosis
    attacks someone whose clothing identifies them as Jewish, arguably that
    is an antisemitic attack. But not necessarily with the intent to harm a
    Jew rather than someone who happened to be nearby. So arguably
    antisemitism requires an intent to harm/insult/threaten Jews specifically.

    I don't have any problem with calling it an antisemitic incident - I
    just take issue with those who say that it is typical of the way all
    Jews now face persecution throughout London or throughout the country
    and we must therefore demonstrate at Downing Street and demand more
    protection for the Jewish community. I even take issue with those who
    hold demonstrations in public to say that femicide and violence towards
    women are a major problem that requires new laws, new prosecution
    guidelines, new deployments of police. By all means update police
    training to take seriously complaints from women that they are being
    stalked, or groped in carriages, or threatened by a partner or former
    partner. But you can't "cure" the problem by preaching at parents that
    they must teach their sons not to assault women.

    He is presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.

    The man is currently innocent of any hate crimes.

    Are you seriously denying that?

    The correct position is that he is presumed to be innocent. That is
    simply a legal presumption which has no basis in fact and is not
    claimed to have any basis in fact.

    But the "innocent until proven guilty" legal fiction long ago
    expired when applied to your continued trolling.

    Again, I have stated facts and you have attempted to put your
    opinions forward to refute them.

    Since you are being so childishly pedantic about words I suggest you
    look at the Human Rights Act 1985, Schedule 1, Article 6, RIGHT TO A
    FAIR TRIAL, Clause 2 again.

    It is in English not American, not a "proven" in sight.


    The point you're missing is that HRA bit that you have quoted is only
    for the purposes of the trial, ie the suspect is presumed innocent for
    the purposes of the trial.

    That bit of the HRA doesn't impinge on what you're allowed to think
    before the verdict.

    I am not missing anything.

    Nothing in law impinges on what you can think!

    So, it's okay to think Suleiman is guilty. We're agreed on that.

    Are you now saying that we can't say what we think? Even in a
    semi-private discussion like this, that won't interfere with the trial?




    Under the Human Rights Act 1985, Schedule 1, Article 6, RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL, Clause 2 "Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be
    presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law."

    I can't believe that anybody who takes part in a discussion in a legal
    group doesn't have that imprinted on their heart.

    antisemitism requires an intent to harm/insult/threaten Jews specifically.

    There were quite a number of people around in Golders Green at the time,
    but Suleiman chose only to attack men wearing large black hats. He may
    of course be hattist?




    I don't have any problem with calling it an antisemitic incident - I
    just take issue with those who say that it is typical of the way all
    Jews now face persecution throughout London or throughout the country
    and we must therefore demonstrate at Downing Street and demand more protection for the Jewish community.

    You've made this point before. I don't think anyone's disagreed?


    I even take issue with those who
    hold demonstrations in public to say that femicide and violence towards women are a major problem that requires new laws, new prosecution guidelines, new deployments of police. By all means update police
    training to take seriously complaints from women that they are being stalked, or groped in carriages, or threatened by a partner or former partner. But you can't "cure" the problem by preaching at parents that
    they must teach their sons not to assault women.

    You sure it wouldn't help? Like, do you have any evidence for it? I
    can't see it making the problem worse.

    He is presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.

    There may be may reasons why the suspect is either not charged or tried
    and found not guilty, including mental capacity.

    What does "presumed" mean?
    Taken at face value, it would mean that no-one could ever be charged
    with an offence, since that would not reflect a presumption of innocence. >>>How do you square that?

    Do you think the normal rule doesn't apply then?

    What "normal rule" are you thinking of?

    You appear to be relying upon a non-exoistent rule, or number of rules.

    In English law words are interpreted in their normal meaning unless there
    are grounds for a different interpretation. Long time since I had to give
    an exam answer so there may well be a better wording, look it up.


    Your assertion is nonsense, despite what you might see on TV people are >>arrested "on suspicion of..."

    What did I assert?

    I asked you a question - two questions, in fact.

    a) What does "presumed" mean?

    b) Taken at face value, it would mean that no-one could ever be charged
    with an offence, since that would not reflect a presumption of innocence. >How do you square that?

    You have not answered either of them.

    I have answered both of them.

    At that point that reflected what the various announcements said, it was a fast moving situation. Originally it was described as antisemitic and terrorist then the police back-tracked.

    That's certainly something we could rationally discuss. I would have said this was very likely to have been an antisemitic attack in the absence of any relatively unlikely contrary evidence. But that is a reasonable difference of opinion.

    You appear to have forgotten that what you actually said was that
    "we now know [the attacks] were nothing to do with antisemitism".
    That is the statement you made, that you need to defend.

    If you are shifting your position so that you now admit we do not
    know the attacks were not antisemitic, simply that it has not yet
    been proven beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law, then you
    would not be getting much argument from anybody.

    That is exactly what I have said all along. I you feel I have said >>>anything different you'll have to supply a link.

    It's nothing to do with what I "feel" - I quoted your exact words.

    What does "presumed" mean?
    Taken at face value, it would mean that no-one could ever be charged
    with an offence, since that would not reflect a presumption of
    innocence.
    How do you square that?

    Do you think the normal rule doesn't apply then?

    What "normal rule" are you thinking of?

    You appear to be relying upon a non-exoistent rule, or number of rules.

    In English law words are interpreted in their normal meaning unless
    there are grounds for a different interpretation. Long time since I had

    You still have not said what you consider your "normal rule" to say and control.

    Your assertion is nonsense, despite what you might see on TV people are
    arrested "on suspicion of..."

    What did I assert?
    I asked you a question - two questions, in fact.
    a) What does "presumed" mean?
    b) Taken at face value, it would mean that no-one could ever be
    charged with an offence, since that would not reflect a presumption of
    innocence. How do you square that?
    You have not answered either of them.

    I have answered both of them.

    Only in certain cases of "both" having the same meaning as "neither" (if
    any).

    As others have already concluded, you are trolling.

    No. Why should I care?


    Well you must obviously care.

    Otherwise you wouldn't be sat there, day after day,
    typing away and endlessly repeating yourself,
    would you *?

    Why else would you bother ?

    You'd type your "facts" the once, regardless of
    whether or not anyone else agreed with you;
    and then go away and do something else.

    "That's it, done, finished ! I've made my point"

    But no ! Here you still are, banging away,
    day after day, while making out you really
    don't care.

    * Apparently you've also been contradicting
    yourself as well; although presumably you don't
    care about that either. Sat there, day after day

    You think I should stop setting out the facts because a small group of
    people try to belittle them with unsubstantiated views and insults? Seriously?

    There have been no contradictions. One person has suggested there was but
    he failed to take account the timeline. Why don't you check yourself
    instead of repeating what somebody else said?

    One interesting consequence of your position is that a suicide bombing by a lone ativist, even if it killed or injured 300 people, could never be recorded as a hate crime.

    But why should you care ?

    See (A) above.

    If you're forgetting what you posted only a few hours ago, this might
    explain why you're repeatedly posting essentially the same thing, day
    after day, after day; without even seeming to realise it.

    This could be really serious. I can only suggest you first talk things
    over informally with your loved ones; ask them whether you keep repeating yourself, forgetting things etc. And if so, maybe they can make an
    appointment for you with your GP; who can then refer you on

    Obviously I'm not qualified to know what treatments may be available
    to you, but its of the utmost important that you do this right now.
    Before you forget.

    You said, categorically, that this was not an antisemitic crime. That is

    I am making a statement based on facts which I am not going to repeat yet again.

    I think refuting those facts is the weird behaviour.

    YOU can infer what you like, I work on facts.

    Unfortunately, you claimed that the attack by Suleiman was not
    antisemitic. You have no facts to support that, just suppositions.

    You said, categorically, that this was not an antisemitic crime.
    That-a is an opinion that you are perfectly entitled to hold. But,
    you can-a hardly claim it's based on facts.

    "As I have said many times the fact is no antisemitic hate charges

    Human Rights Act again do I?"

    It's a categorical statement that the attack had nothing to do with
