2027 general election (IC/closed)

[Nationalist Northumbria]

OOC: Conservatives reversing Labour's policies outside the economy? That would be a change.

OOC: so Labour didn't invent automatic early release?

OOC: What?

[Most of Britain]

OOC: so Labour didn't invent automatic early release?

OOC: What?

OOC: It's where someone sentenced to 10 years automatically was released after 5 years until recently.

[Nationalist Northumbria]

OOC: What?

OOC: It's where someone sentenced to 10 years automatically was released after 5 years until recently.

OOC: No, Azad, what's your point?

OOC: No, Azad, what's your point?

OOC: Formalised release on license was introduced in 1967 apparently (when the Parole Board was founded), the Prime Minister was Harold Wilson of the Labour Party.

IC: Philip Proudfoot is on trial for treason.

[Nationalist Northumbria]

OOC: No, Azad, what's your point?

IC: Philip Proudfoot is on trial for treason.

"I'm really cheesed off by this!" says Proudfoot.

[Most of Britain]

IC: Philip Proudfoot is on trial for treason.

"I'm really cheesed off by this!" says Proudfoot.

IC:
"We don't care."
OOC: Why is he a traitor?
You implied it by saying that Alexander Darcy's identity was leaked to help the enemy rather than as a legitimate way of getting a deserter to go back to base.
Which implies he was deserting to stop treason.

OOC: He didn't desert, though.

OOC: Well he went AWOL and it was with intent to avoid active service (namely, retrieving the statue). So he did.

OOC: He didn't desert, though.

OOC: Well he went AWOL and it was with intent to avoid active service (namely, retrieving the statue). So he did.

OOC: He smashed the phone against the wall.

OOC: He smashed the phone against the wall.

OOC: And then disabled the tracking devices when he was called back to base. If I remember correctly, that was when they revealed his identity.

But you're right he wasn't called up for active service at the time, so it was AWOL rather than desertion (as it was without the intent to avoid active service. In any case, it was to punish him for refusing to carry out their objectives, not to further the ends of the enemy.
IC:
"The prosecution allege he deliberately bungled the operation to obtain a classified objective in order to have an excuse to dox the brave marine who is currently a Lieutenant-General, Alexander Darcy."

IC: Sergeant Muhammad Alasdair Khan's wife is in another country (Ireland) on maternity leave with their new born son, Alasdair Muhammad Khan.

Sergeant Muhammad Alasdair Khan has recently resigned from the police, publicly citing the lack of due process and asking police officers to "disobey unlawful orders".

His large amount of police support from officers outside the Met leads to a handful of police federations representatives expressing agreement with him as well as the head of National Police Chiefs' Council, Rhiannon Kirk, who thinks her high position makes her immune from Star Chamber style trial.

IC: "What's your opinion about the new movement of police officers talking about 'unlawful orders',
Also do you think Philip Proudfoot intend the operation to fail from the start?"

OOC: If you're ok with it, can I make it so he intended the operation to succeed?

IC: "Oh, and has James Hewitt been arrested yet, for violation of the Treason Act?"

He was only pretending to support Northumbria.

"Ok. Come to Buckingham Palace tomorrow to receive a VC and a knighthood."

Meanwhile, police support outside the Metropolitan Police for the military is at a new low as is support within the intelligence community.
The Metropolitan Police, meanwhile, has been a five or six year embarrassment to the political-military-corporate elite and the public alike, one the former nevertheless need to enforce their rule without constantly sending the RMP up and down the country.
