Yes. Clear equalities impacts, how justified? As well as likely in breach of unfair trading laws. But trading standards and traffic mgt teams are often eminations of same public body & you can’t enforce against yourself, hence “do as I say not as I do” can be the worst type of LA maladministration

Back on Twitter, when autumn proper arrived I would always post the video someone made for Sandy Denny's No End (Demo) by holding a camera phone up against the train window. By popular request (well, from @robinallender.bsky.social) I'll start doing that here. youtu.be/o9sERw40Pes?...

Growing up in 60’s Anfield we were forever being warned not to play in the “bombdies” Astonishing how much of the city featured gaps were houses once stood, or totally derelict buildings, simply not repaired or rebuilt after such heavy bombing.

That’s a good point. We know dealing with these matters is often urgent work squeezed in to an already busy schedule. Given no scrutiny by suspect’s lawyer there’s an enormous responsibility on Applicant & Court, but the Court often knows the App. & sometimes may be too ready to accept submissions?

Have you read it? For anybody interested in justice the fact the 2d Defendant (TVP) applied for a warrant they could not lawfully obtain, then had to concede that fact & will now spend public £££ on AMW’s costs, with resulting media access to material in a live investigation, is deeply troubling.

The Court issued a warrant under s8. The overreach occurred when the Police executed it If they did not read the warrant that had been issued, or did read it but did not understand it, that’s a Police cock up. If they deliberately went beyond it, that’s far worse. Either way, it’s on them.

This was not a case for belt and braces “apply for ss8&9” approach as police/ & their lawyers surely knew they needed section 9. That’s on them. Once the Judge issued under s8 alone the Police executing the warrant surely knew its limits, so that’s on them too & they’ll have to deal with it in 2027

I hoped it’d be Harry Hook you were referring to! I used this case to great effect when training elected politicians destined to serve on committees that conduct hearings, it illustrates so many aspects of the task as well as bringing a smile and sticking in the memory.

In France, where I am just now, this is a biscuit and thanks to this thread I felt bound to open the box and try one and can confirm they look and taste like a UK Jaffa cake, perhaps a tad smaller (but maybe that’s true of the Jaffacake now as I haven’t eaten any in years)

If it’s a listed building, or (as seems likely?) part of the setting of a listed building you would probably find guidance by historic England regarding temporary structures instructive.

Don’t know enough to even guess - eg is it a listed building? Conservation area? Temporary? If yes, for how long? How and where is it affixed? Etc I have not read this but would hope it includes some guidance about public art and when consent is required. (Nowt came up on portal search for 16 HS)

THE regime is HRA compliant given there’s a right to seek consent and a legal framework (esp s6 HRA, but also The EA2010) requiring Councils to consider requests in a manner that is compatible with conv & other rights. The failure to seek any consent should see this argument given short shrift IMV.

As a solicitor who shared her client’s fiduciary duty to local tax payers the option of an expensive star being the first thought was never open to me. Must be a very different mindset! But kudos to those silks who consistently ensured great value for money when we did instruct them.

I’m serious about this. If a plan, to obstruct fans’ enjoyment of 1 football game by switching off floodlights at a match for £ gain for self & others, sufficed to convict D of common law public nuisance & get a 4 year sentence, then on its face this clearly warrants police attention (RvOng CrA2001)
000
Ms Anfield Park @msanfieldpark.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Fraudulent or not, I’d personally welcome a police investigation in to alleged public nuisance by systematic & long term obstruction of the right of millions of football fans & their clubs to enjoy football within the FFP rules, resulting in serious distress, annoyance & loss of amenity etc to many.
010
Ms Anfield Park @msanfieldpark.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I say Common Law because any alleged public nuisance predates the statutory offence, but the wording of the statute is instructive and of course we know from R v Ong [2001] Cr App R (S) 117 that enjoyment of a football game is a right falling within scope of the offence of public nuisance

Agree, also with serious distress, annoyance, inconvenience & loss of amenity caused to a football loving public whose right to enjoy competitive games played by teams built in line with fair play rules will have been systematically obstructed on these findings looks a TWLB like (CL) public nuisance

At the very least, ideally accompanied by the government Minister who made what we can all see were empty promises to Parliament when proscribing Post mentions removal of his clothing, which is bad enough; but anybody who wears glasses will know how disorienting it is to suddenly be without them.
Yvette Cooper to House of Commons, 23 June 2025:
“It is vitally important that those seeking to protest peacefully, including pro-Palestinian groups, those opposing the actions of the Israeli Government, and those demanding changes in the UK's foreign policy, can continue to do so. The right to peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy. Should Parliament vote to proscribe, that right will be unaffected.”

Ah, life as a working woman in the 70’s. At 18 I had been a Council officer for 2 years & was told I would not be getting promoted because, although I’d outperformed him, “xxxx just got engaged and they’ll be starting a family” Also at 16 had insurance co. job offer on basis I wldn’t get pregnant

(I’d just observe that local authority requirements to declare interests etc bringing potential to challenge flawed decisions via judicial review beat the practice of central government hands down. Many members of public still furious about covid contracts would like to see same transparency there)

I thought the original problem was having abysmal state pensions compared to much of rest of Europe, so this intended as a fast way to catch up. Not there yet. As a PSL you probably know the impact of below inflation increases, which of course also impact value of certain future private pensions!
