  EU court bias

  Even within the EU some countries are more equal than others. Just look at Dyson's long legal battle over EU energy efficiency labels for vacuum cleaners.

  Re: ihave an idea

  There have been comments from police leaders to the effect that they would much rather govt not extend Hate Speech laws because of the resource implications. Meanwhile the public is getting collectively more than a little bit pissed off about real crimes going uninvestigated (let alone solved and the criminals prosecuted) while all this bullshit goes on.

  No boycotting Saudi Arabia then?

  Obviously a hard one for individuals what with the oil but I can see grounds for companies refusing to deal with them wherever possible.

  Re: Re: Possibly getting competent legal advice at last?

  Nah, I think she couldn't cope with the flood of negative feedback and finally, finally realised that it was time to stop digging, or she talked to a lawyer who TOLD her to stop digging. Maybe she hopes that dropping off of social media for a while, until it all blows over, will be enough.

  I couldn't manage more than about 5 minutes either. It was long enough to decide that she's mental AND a piss poor actor. After that I decided that I have an unlimited list of better things to do with my time.

  Possibly getting competent legal advice at last?

  Her FaceBook page has just vanished. Of course that means those of you who didn't see the link to her video on there are out of luck, or maybe not, it was seriously disturbing, she's not a well woman.
