Real pics from the event (taken from their event FB page): (I don't see Jabba the Hutt anywhere. Maybe he's being a punter again)
Back to meetups in car-parks ...
Too soon?

He constantly refers to Kim as "retired lawyer" so ... retired = no-longer working. Unless he signed a contract of engagement, she wasn't representing him in any legal capacity.
He's clutching at straws, or rather, throwing mud in the hope that it gives the appearance of some impropriety.

If her information is correct, an important threshold was not met - the "threshold" being that the court declined to serve the "defendants". We don't know the reason yet, but it's not hard to imagine they don't see they have any jurisdiction for this, or perhaps they have already flagged this as a frivolous lawsuit.
Something like this would require process serving in multiple countries in multiple continents. That isn't going to be covered by the basic paperwork application fee. Someone needs to do that work, someone needs to coordinate it and hire people and all those people expect to be paid.
The court isn't going to foot the bill for some frivolous case of dubious merit especially in jurisdictions they have no authority in. They probably took one look at what it entailed and immediately saw it for what it was - utter nonsense.
I think Lloyds plan was to send his "scary" letters out hoping someone would cave so it would allow him to declare victory and lies, and not lose any money on the whole thing. But that didn't happen. To prosecute this case will require deep pockets and without a clear win on the cards it's unlikely anything will ever happen. Of course it won't stop him claiming that it'll arrive any-day now, and that the time left is getting short ... maybe within another overlapping generation it might happen.
Anything but admit he had no case and no one lied about him.

Lloyd meets up with his top legal team asking them to justify their costs when his cases against the M7 have been thrown out of court. Maybe because he hasn't shown proof
It reminds me of the "services" people offer whenever you need to do anything - apply for a work permit, create a company, whatever. You have to provide the information to someone. All you do when you "hire" someone is that they ensure you fill the forms in correctly, but ultimately it's always you doing the filling somewhere along the line either directly or via them.
It looks like he imagined he could just make a high-level claim of "I've been defamed" and have them go seek out and document the necessary details. Maybe, if he was willing to pay them enough, but unrealistic for the nature of his complaint.
There's no clear obvious complaint - if there was he would be pointing to it and he's spectacularly refused to even describe what the complaint actually is.

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

They can't even play football in half of Europe because of it. You can't be gay, or a person of colour in certain parts of the country.
And yet "we" don't seem to have any problem dealing with countries that have worse human-rights records
How long has Saudi Arabia been bombing Yemen and are still OK to do business with?

And if Russia is so bad, why did Europe decide to make themselves dependent on them for their critical energy needs? Seem like an idiotic move, no?
The only question that matters is whether you want to perpetuate these things. If you do, then support the war. Personally, I think it's sick and the only truly moral stance is to stop these things happening. They can only do it with the support of useful idiots.
If you think the war is 100% the choice of Putin you probably believed that the Iraq war was all about WoMDs.

That seems like the online equivalent of staring at women as they walk past.
Equally bad are women that are so desperate for attention they post pictures of themselves (not that I think this is happening here)
Which makes his "creepy attention" potentially unwelcome and uninvited.

And the question shouldn't be "can Ukraine win", it should be "why do we give a shit?". Seriously, why do we care? Why are we propping up an undemocratic regime? Why do we care about artificial borders? Why don't we re-draw them based on the traditional allegiances people have?
Can't we learn from Yugoslavia that these "carved up countries invented by world powers" simple aren't sustainable?
Can't we learn from Iraq that these "forever conflicts" aren't about saving anyone, they don't care if millions die as long as they make $billions from it.

Although I can see the average Russian being nostalgic for the former USSR and wanting a strong Russia, I really can't see wanting to send your only son to die for it.
Now look at history. I know it's no longer fashionable to have any kind of memory in the west, but Russia undoubtedly remembers the massive sacrifice it paid to win WWII and the scourge of fascism, so the combination of Nato expansion and a blind-eye given to the nazi segments in Ukraine and bombings of Donbas is an impetus to act.
Ukraine isn't a democracy and we shouldn't be pumping money into a corrupt regime.

Yeah posting photos doesn't really work because you can't read text. Simon said we've got to post links, unfortunately, to a third party, like Flickr. That way someone can read the rant properly. I don't have a copy of it so can anyone else do it?
You have to create an account on an image hosting site and then link to it, perhaps under the photo you post on here for reference.
No, that isn't quite it. The only issue is with how the images are displayed, but they are stored correctly and if you use the image src link to view them they will look OK. When I fix it, they will all suddenly be super sharp.
