Not right, just wrong…

"Tried to vandalise" !!!

Both were also banned from Stansted Airport without a valid travel ticket during their sentence periods. Court details noted cleanup costs of £12,576 for the jets and £24,000 for engineering consultations on paint removal, plus £19,234 for fence repairs, but no compensation or victim surcharge was imposed beyond Kowalski’s standard fine.

Even if the numbers were deliberately inflated – some allocation of damages was due …

Under the circumstances the avoidance of imposing some restitution for deliberate damage is farcical at best and a clear signal that property damage is OK….

Court and Judicial DetailsCourt: Chelmsford Crown Court (in Essex, England).

The trial occurred in August/September 2025, with sentencing on October 27, 2025.

Judge: Judge (His Honour) Alexander Mills presided over both the trial and sentencing. No magistrates were involved, as this was a Crown Court matter for indictable offenses.

Who picked up the legal bills for the two gits? Probably £20,000 to the lawyers there? (£20K is cheap for the Crown Court btw)

Drone show

The drone show was pretty cool. I think they missed out on some performance elements. Music so we didn't hear the humming, and a grand finale, but it was pretty cool.

The Barnes Brief, Friday, October 17, 2025

I.  INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

The tall French doors, the sunlight slipping in amidst the shadows, the desk with files stacked, the overcoat and old school hat, awaiting thought or observing contemplatively, the true gentleman appears ready to soon take action in a time where men were men.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.” Otto von Bismarck.

C. Cultural Recommendation

Surviving Hitler in St. Petersburg, a documentary detailing the shock and horror of the Great War, a generational-defining experience for Putin’s own parents.

D. Appearances
