Keith Sands @keithsands.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Your best shot at Andy Burnham is that he briefly hesitated about a silly question about the price of milk, 11 years ago, before giving the correct price of milk? That's your point? 100
Keith Sands @keithsands.bsky.social · 29/09/2026According to your weird AI cartoon he said "it's about 40p". Correctly. 100
Keith Sands @keithsands.bsky.social · 29/09/2026What point are you even making with this hideous AI slop? ONS RPI data has the average pint of milk at 43p in September 2015, so... he was correct? www.ons.gov.uk/economy/infl...ons.gov.ukRPI :Ave price - Milk: Pasteurised, per pint - Office for National Statistics 100

Keith Sands @keithsands.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It seemed to me, after reading this, that the Dover action more than crosses the threshold for political uniforms. It is very broad, ruling out loopholes like minor variation, or not having insignia, or no formal group membership. englishlawguide.co.uk/policital-un...englishlawguide.co.ukPolicital UniformsUnlike many public order offences, liability does not depend on disorder or violence occurring. The offence is complete once a uniform is worn in the requisite context. The focus lies on the signifying function of clothing rather than its intrinsic characteristics. 000

Keith Sands @keithsands.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yes they are. The precedents established there is no need for insignia or completely identical dress. 300 guys all in black balaclavas marching together chanting political slogans absolutely crosses the threshold of the Act. englishlawguide.co.uk/policital-un...englishlawguide.co.ukPolicital UniformsUnlike many public order offences, liability does not depend on disorder or violence occurring.
