(0458) Good sleep, much recovered … that yesterday was always cause and effect, rather than from inside and as it dissipated, that was ok.

1. Lord Toby’s had this today

Anti-Ulez activist Kevin Rees, who blew up a camera enforcing London’s ultra-low emission zone scheme with a home-made bomb, has been jailed for 15 years. The Telegraph has more.

Kevin Rees, 63, a retired electrical appliances engineer, prompted a counter-terrorism investigation by detonating explosives in the camera in Sidcup, south London, at 6.45pm on Dec 6th 2023.

The improvised explosive device damaged cars and property up to 100m away, with shrapnel striking the outside of a child’s bedroom.

Rees, of Sidcup, was convicted after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court in January of one count of causing an explosion likely to endanger life. On Friday, Judge Anthony Bate sentenced him at the Old Bailey to 15 years in prison.

JH: With Lord Toby, find Daily Sceptic in brolls (access in navbar above) and it’s in there … if not yet, then in a few hours.

The question is … was the sentence draconian? I ask a different question … why alone? Maybe he’s protecting the others. A further question is for how long can they do it before too many weary and feel the game’s no longer worth the candle? Danny Tommo? 15 years for this chap?

Plus most I think are aware of the floodgate effect once something happens to one of our beloved leaders, not that I’d suggest anything for a moment.
