What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Martin Geddes looks like Patrick Gunnels on crack. And most of his letters to the local counsel are ... frankly he's nuts.
Half of his letters are some version of "your receipt of this letter forfeits your right to collect and constitutes agreement with such and such because you received it" --- they read like an extremely dubious Terms of Service contract - basically "if you read it you're automatically agreeing to it" - just batshit.
Though I totally agree with his resolve to not comply. That's pretty inspiring. But I hope he doesn't actually think he can win. Hopefully he knows this is good publicity for his message but he's probably going to jail for it.
Martin would go to jail if it went that far and then sue them..it is an illegal tax and although the UK courts are very corrupt if they jail him then they are in trouble themselves...don't think magistrates want to do that to aid corrupt council so openly?
Most people in UK don't know it's an illegal tax...I applaud Martin for his determination .
"If they jail him they are in trouble themselves." --- no probably not --- Martin is not at all the only person to have tried this and nothing has ever happened to the judges and prosecutors who jailed the people who have.
He's marching alone into a powerful army and basically saying "I'm going to win because they're not allowed to defeat me!" -- bruh he's going to get slaughtered.
It's just kind of a dumb way to try and change this situation. Cool and admirable! But dumb. It's not going to work and will make anyone who argues his position in the future look like a criminal tax evader.
Where did he say I am going to win because they're not allowed to defeat me?
Good job everyone who took on the giants fought and won doesn't have your negative attitude..
Good job everyone who took on giants fought and won who've been accused of having a negative attitude when they said other people's plans were foolish.
Negative attitude 🤣 bro I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you my attitude isn't negative. If that's what you think just because I think his plan is a little foolish -- well that's what you think I'm not going to belittle your attitude and paint it as emotional thinking.
Oh I applaud his determination too. But that plan isn't going to work and I just hope he's prepared for that.
It's like saying you know federal income tax is illegal (probably is I think) and that you're not going to pay. Some back and forth and eventually they arrest you for tax evasion. The. You sue because federal income tax is illegal!
This isn't a checkmate. It's certain loss. And I applaud him for dying on this hill but thinking "oh it's illegal so he'll just sue and make them all look like fools!" is ... foolish.
There are probably more effective ways to fight the tax. But I do applaud his conviction.
He's not stupid..he is very intelligent and he will have weighed up the risks ..no one knows better than Martin how corrupt these officials and woke councils are.
He IS spreading awareness that the tax is illegal...this may be his goal...I don't know
Some may say taking a stand and going to the trouble and expense affidavits etc to declare himself a free man..not tied to the system we are all tied to ..is foolish too but Martin has never regretted it or losing his very good salary..lecturing etc for standing for his truth..
I certainly don't think he is foo!ish..it's not about winning a legal case imo
Well I certainly agree IF he knows he has only a 0.05% chance of coming out of this without going to jail then he isn't a fool.
I'm not convinced he does know that based on a few of the interviews I've heard with him - he definitely could know that however. He's obviously aware of the corruption.
