The narrative of the ‘stolen country’ or ‘Native American genocide’ does not stand up to scrutiny by any honest and clear-sighted historian. It is a dangerously myopic and one-sided ...

Valid! Very useful word; "checks out" "computes" "legit" specific to reasoning or a process & I love the sound of it, fun to write in cursive. Now it means understandable or I empathize which is the exact fucking opposite tone of the original word.

The Theft Act 1968 is arguably one of the most effective pieces of legal drafting in the post war era. It is now nearly 50 years since the Act was passed and yet it remains very much intact.

Section 1 of the Theft Act introduces the offence of theft. This included a completely new definition of the offence which identified five elements to the offence, all of which need to be present for the offence to be made out.

Sections 15 and 16 of the Act dealt with various fraud offences. Here the Act was less successful than otherwise and various attempts were made to reform it. Eventually these sections were repealed and a new Fraud Act was introduced on the recommendation of the Law Commission. The only fraud offences which now survive under the Act are false accoun...

The theory is that there would be less thieves if there were no handlers and so the maximum penalty for this offence is 14 years imprisonment, double the maximum sente...
