Real England

I'm pretty sure if someone stood in the garden next to Mr O'Neill's and shouted "Brendan you're a fuckwit" every night, he'd probably want the police state to do something about it.

xxp - well I get your point but the Act is pretty clear that you can't get away with this unless you're indoors and/or no-one who would be offended sees it. Having said that I'm still not sure anyone (including those arrested) will want it to go to court, the fine could be a lot bigger than £65, so presumably they'll just apologise for any offence caused and get a slap on the wrist. I imagine this is why they have handed themselves in?

It’s a weird point of law that is still up for debate but, as it stands at the moment, a garden doesn’t count as a dwelling but a gazebo or shelter in a garden might. Either way, unless you could show they intended other people present to be offended, I don’t think S4a would apply automatically. It’s probably one that will feature on law syllabi for years to come. But yes, if they have any sense they should probably accept a caution just to save the expense.

"btw most Irish see you as an English fuckwit and are laughing at you" might be a bit of a mouthful to add on to that initial over the hedge barb at O'Neill.

The term we use is “tansplaining”.

I just wasn't made for these times.

I tried the sprout crisps. They were not good.

Crisps I can understand (and Walkers have launched a variety pack of Christmas dinner flavours this year but without sprouts) but tea?

Think it's supposed to be a joke present. Expect it will be 99% thrown away in January.

I don't know why but I am sure a list of all the crimes belongs in this thread.

C 4.5.53 PERSISTENTLY REFUSING TO MAINTAIN SELF

just scrap them all except for this one:

C 12.13.46.2 FAIL TO GIVE PRODUCE OBSERVE OR DO ANY NOTICE LICENCE RULE OR THING WHICH PERSON IS REQUIRED TO DO

It's like Borges' Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge ... on acid!

You'd think these would cover all bases:

C 12.13.1.1 DOING ACT RESULTING IN CRUELTY TO ANIMAL
C 12.13.1.2 CAUSING ACT RESULTING IN CRUELTY TO ANIMAL
C 12.13.1.3 PROCURING ACT RESULTING IN CRUELTY TO ANIMAL
C 12.13.1.4 PERMITTING ACT RESULTING IN CRUELTY TO ANIMAL

C 12.13.1.16 PERMITTING ANIMAL TO BE CONVEYED OR CARRIED SO AS TO CAUSE UNNECESSARY SUFFERING

but then:

C 12.13.37.1 MUTILATE KICK BEAT IMPALE STAB BURN STONE CRUSH DROWN DRAG ASPHYIATE A WILD MAMMAL W/I TO INFLICT SUFFERING

Why 'MAMMAL'?!

state as psychopathic demiurge that is sometimes struck with sudden obsessions - badgers, just completely fixating on badgers

C 5.10.271 USE BADGER TONGS IN COURSE OF KILLING BADGER
C 5.10.272 USE BADGER TONGS IN THE COURSE OF TAKING BADGER

C 5.10.282 DISTURB BADGER WHEN IT IS OCCUPYING BADGER SETT

I thought you were joking

Oh, so taking fish at night by angling is OK then?

C 5.5.24.2 TAKING FISH AT NIGHT BY ANGLING

(yes possums are a kind of badger comments are closed)

horse passports, must control horse passports

C 12.26.3.2 KICKING A BALL IN THE STREET

some of these read like v intense/grim oblique strategies

UTTER A LETTER DEMANDING WITH MENACES

B 8.2.1 EMBRACERY

So hugging is against the law now?

embracery is the very foulest of deeds!

embracery is corruptly influencing a badger's verdict in a trial, via promise, persuasions, entreaties, money, entertainments or tongs

Being a member of Embrace was outlawed to immense public acclaim in the mid-00s. Probably the best thing the Blair government ever did.

i never knew i had committed so many crimes

C 2.10.25 KEEPING A DISORDERLY HOUSE

gnna jordan peterson yr ass

C 4.12.1 PYRAMID SELLING

B 4.9.1 BIGAMY is admirably direct in its language tbf

This one gets me going a bit freeman, sovereign human being.

C 12.21.24.1 WHILST DRUNK VIOLENT QUARRELSOME OR DISORDERLY ON LICENCED PREMISES ON REQUEST TO LEAVE REFUSED TO DO SO

Pretty sure the right to shout "NO, YOU'RE BARRED" at a landlord is in Magna Carta.

don't think it can have a comma in it tbf

C 12.13.70.1 WRESTLING FIGHTING OR STRUGGLING WITH ANY UNTRAINED BULL

Strikes me there's a hole in this one.

B 4.9.1 BIGAMY is admirably direct in its language tbf

A 1.1.1 GENOCIDE

B 8.2.2 NOT FLAGGING BAD POSTS

fp'd

FALSIFYING DOCUMENT IN ANTICIPATION OF WINDING-UP

A good indicator of the complexities of British common law is that there is an mid-way point between Unlawful Assembly and Riot called Rout but there is no evidence anyone has been charged with it in the last six hundred years.

C 11.6.67 HIRE A HANDCLAW
C 11.6.68 LEND A HANDCLAW
C 11.6.69 GIVE A HANDCLAW

Freddy Kreuger on notice.

Have to allow for every possible way of levelling up

C 11.6.88 HIRE OF HOLLOW KUBOTAN

One of the best prog-folk albums of the psychedelic era.

Massive sympathy with whoever has to track the latest weapons martial arts dorks are importing this year and wearily add every permutation of possession and supply to the list.

Some good comes of it though.

Darren Day’s key ring “could kill”

ACTOR Darren Day went on trial yesterday accused of carrying a potentially lethal weapon dubbed an “attitude adjuster” during a trip to Scotland last year.

Prosecutor Neil Allan asked PC Fitzpatrick, lead trainer in officer safety at Lothian and Borders Police, what kind of damage a Kubotan could do if used to its full potential.

The officer said: “Worst case scenario, I could kill somebody with that, absolutely.

That's just monstrous use of a biro
