This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

NEW How Harry and Watson forced News Group Newspapers to admit wrongdoing Why the circumstances show it was NGN wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants—that brought this case to its end By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

The best explanation is perhaps not that the prince and Watson had finally buckled to costs risk; it instead looks like a desperate last-minute move by a publisher anxious to avoid a public trial of the claims.

It appears from the evidence available that NGN signalled that it would actually accept liability. If so, this would change everything. If NGN accepted it was liable for at least the main part of the claims, there would be no need for a full trial—for there would be nothing to be tried. The prince and the politician would not now be able to force a full trial even if they had wanted to do.

For a defendant to admit liability is an unusual, if not unique litigation ploy.

If you're protesting this weekend, it's vital you know your rights Save these bust cards Share with others Phone numbers on your arm Legal observers if you need assistance "No comment" without a lawyer Keep yourselves and each other safe SAVE + SHARE THIS POST

IF YOU ARE ARRESTED
Before arresting you, the police should explain that you’re being arrested, what offence, and why. If you’re arrested, say “no comment” to all questions and do NOT accept a caution until you have legal advice. Seek advice from a solicitor with expertise in protest law (see below). You have the right to:
• Tell someone about your arrest
• An interpreter if English isn’t your first language
• An appropriate adult if you’re under 18 or a vulnerable person

You are not legally required to share your nationality or immigration status when arrested, although police may check this if they suspect you’re not a British citizen.

For guidance on the implications of being arrested at a protest, see jcwi.org.uk/immigration-advice-for-protesters

DO I HAVE TO ANSWER POLICE QUESTIONS?
If you are stopped and questioned by the police, or they talk to you at a protest, you have the right not to respond, unless you are engaging in “anti-social” behaviour (causing, or likely to cause “harassment, alarm or distress”). You shouldn’t provide false information to the police, as this is a criminal offence. You can’t be searched or arrested just because you lawfully refused to answer police questions.

DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST?
Yes. Your right to protest is protected by the Human Rights Act and can only be lawfully restricted by the police for certain specified purposes (such as preventing crime or disorder) and in a way that is proportionate.

A tiresome article that tries to lay out alternative 4d chess explanations of Trump's Greenland/Panama/Canada outbursts when there's a simpler story that he has the brain of a 10 year old and is sometimes shown a map. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump team says Canada, Greenland, Panama comments are part of a broader plan

But not everyone is sure that President-elect Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada and Greenland and reclaiming the Panama Canal is driven by a deeper strategy.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵
