Riots and damage compensation

The Himmie breakdown pattern:

Stage 1) start ranting about racism
Stage 2) start thread complaining how the mods are biased
Stage 3) get banned
Stage 4) rejoin with new user name

Very Trumpian tactic Notch, attack the personality and ignore he issues. I expect better things of you.
I may return to your post, if I have time and the inclination.

Thanks for your comments, Notch, It gave me cause for thought.
Musk and his X platform (formerly twitter) have been rightly criticised for allowing agitators to foment racist hatred and division on twitter.
I believe there have been some criticism of his platform spreading disinformation as well.

Don't you have any concerns that DIYnot, in their own little way, have provided a similar platform to self-confessed and closet racists, and disinformation, albeit, on a smaller scale.
Aren't they as equally guilty as twitter and musk for allowing these people to exploit the platform?
Whether it is site owners, Admin or Mods who are responsible for providing this platform for racist comments to be posted and repeated, they should all share equal responsibility.

What is really concerning is that the provision of the platform for the spreading of bigoted hatred appears to have existed for many years if the legends are to be believed.
Your comments seem to reinforce the legend of some objecting to and criticising racist comments being banned, multiple times.
Whereas self-confessed and closet racists such as reganandcarter, algas, mottie etc, have been allowed to continue posting their bigotry for many, many years, and without hindrance or control.

And for the dismissal of comments, I am fully aware of the restriction on commenting on Mods, etc in these forums.
Do they not have the dignity to respond or to justify their immoral actions?

I suspect that the racist posters will be allowed to continue their self-confessed and closet racism when and if I disappear again.

You are either being deliberately stupid, or you're trolling.

My full post was

post #133


Provided it meets the definition of "riot" as per the act,


Which is exactly the part of my quote that you chopped out, then said that my post was incorrect because it was absent...........

I am struggling to understand how a non-violent protest could result in damage? But in any case there only needs to be the threat of violence and a perceived risk to safety and it's a riot.

Thanks.

I took a break from posting as folks clearly couldn’t understand, or chose to ignore, what I was posting was the legislation and any event needs to meet the criteria of a riot for the RCA to be in effect.

Very frustrating when someone you’ve previously respected from their postings keeps telling you that you are wrong when you are not.
 
I wondered if the usual suspects would argue that because some of those convicted pleaded guilty to violent disorder rather than rioting, it was evidence that it wasn’t a riot.

It is of course nonsense.

People plead guilty to lesser crimes all the time.

There is nothing in the legislation that says someone must be convicted of rioting for the compensation to kick in.

I've no desire to recreate the discussion all over again.
But let me be clear, I did not accuse anyone of being wrong, nor of accepting anyone of being right.
My last comment was a "wait and see" suggestion.
The 2016 Act has not yet been tested in the real world.
I proposed we agree to differ until such time as more light is shed on the issue.
That is my present position and will remain until more light is shed.
 
No 'if' about it. Why sign up with a new identity though instead of just a name change when you reappear though? Are you embarrassed by your previous personas?
Why commit fraud, when for a couple of hundred Euros and you could have been perfectly legit? (prior to 2020)

You could still re-register your car, kept permanently in Spain, on Spanish plates.
Except now, since Brexit, it would probably cost you a couple of thousand Euros.
Brexit eh? What a bu99er.
But it hasn't affected you, except to cause you to commit multiple cases of fraud. :rolleyes:

I obviously had more money than what I knew to do with.

Right. Your turn to answer a question, same one:

It's been explained by Notch, motorbiking, filly, andydevon, brigadier and others.

That’s just you. You see, when you play nice and don’t troll, you don’t get banned, so you don’t have to constantly come back with a different user name and annoy people…
No it doesn't. It says that the poster was banned for having a "racist mantra".
That the user(name)s have been banned,
But that is before you get banned for the nonsense you spout about what a woman is.
Preparing a new identity before being banned.

There's umpteen claims that I've been banned.
And if the legend is to be believed, Bobby Dazzler confirmed it in his/her Screwfix post.

Instead of asking me for an answer that many have already provided, I suggest you discuss it with them. And if you can arrive at some sort of consensus, perhaps you could update the legend. :rolleyes:
 
I obviously had more money than what I knew to do with.
Not to mention the total absence of intelligence and morals.
Did you check on the likely penalties for fraud before committing numerous counts of fraud?
I think it's the Fraud Act 2006
the penalties include unlimited fines and/or a prison sentence of up to 10 years
And you openly admit to committing fraud on several levels and over a period of seven years.
Your car is still in Spain. Are the people who are using it aware that it is totally illegal, not covered by any insurance, despite you fraudulently insuring as if it was in UK.
Or if you have sold it, is the new owner aware that it's not been tested for seven years, and it's only MOT certificates have been obtained, and issued fraudulently?
 
Grow the fooj up.
If you are talking to me, do you think I should ignore mottie's persistent ridiculous questions?
That would leave the field clear for him and others to continue with their persistent, ridiculous allegations.

That would be like Kamala Harris not correcting Trump's persistent lies, and proving that he is an habitual liar.
 
Instead of asking me for an answer that many have already provided, I suggest you discuss it with them.
No, I’m asking you. You asked me. I answered. I did say anybody else has answered for me. So go on, you answer otherwise don’t bother asking any more questions of anybody if you are going to swerve answering and let others answer for you.
