On a bit of break...
My nasty ranty sister got a £1000 fine plus legal costsI suspect most likely because that's what they give to everyone they see who hasn't paid their TV licence.

Can a juror come to a verdict based on a reason that was not presented in court and has no facts or evidence to support it, either from the prosecution or defence?
(that said, don't take that as sneering at that jury, they did the exact right thing)
That'll be a laugh.now ROOKE needs to sue BBC PROPERLY!

I should think so yes. Amplified by a society that they feel (and correctly) that they have little or no control over. Try telling them that though!Is there a mental illness element to this? Genuinely?

Well, you have to wonder. But if it's in the Daily Mail, it must be true!I've just caught up with this thread.
Is this shit actually real? Not a pisstake?
It is actually real, unlike their theory that the BBC supports terrorists.I've just caught up with this thread.
Is this shit actually real? Not a pisstake?
Back in Horsham Magistrates Court campaigners have been planning future tactics. Tony Rook's victory, helped by lawyer Mahtab Aziz, implies that the BBC has a case to answer, but expert witnesses including Danish associate professor Niels Harrit were not called due to legal technicalities. However the District Judge would have read their statements before the hearing and taken them into account.
Jazzz: here's your big chance to sock it to The Man and hit him hard with your Truth Baton!

That's brilliant.Unbelievable victory for protestor, Tony Rooke who affirms that the BBC's coverage of 9/11 was false
I wonder if urban has a bigger readership than the West Sussex County Times.
Has anyone actually met jazz in real life... I rest my case.

The old legal technicality of having fuck all to do with the case. These lizards aren't half cunning with their loopholes.Utter, utter bollocks, all of it. Neils Harrit not called due to 'legal technicalities' ffs
Aeroplane??? Pshaw, it was holographic archangels. With flaming swords and wings and shit. Here, watch this nine hour YouTube video.Apparently the truthers are seeking a review of the incidents around the collapse of the tower of babel, it seems it was an aeroplane rather than god
Jazzz has deserted the thermite thread as well

Wouldn't pay: Tony Rooke (pictured at Horsham Magistrates' Court today), did not want to give money to an organisation 'funding the practice of terrorism'
A 49-year-old man refused to pay his TV licence because he believed the BBC covered up facts about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Tony Rooke, who represented himself today at Horsham Magistrates’ Court in West Sussex, said he did not want to give money to an organisation 'funding the practice of terrorism'.
Rooke, who admitted owning a TV and watching it without a licence, was found guilty of using an unlicensed set, given a six-month conditional discharge and told to pay £200 costs.
He was visited in May 2012 by an inspector after withdrawing his licence in March, but said he was withholding the funds under the Terrorism Act.
you leave the mad frogs aloneThis could be like the anti poll tax campaign. Except with tv licences and box full of mad frogs..
