Law and Rights
Five items which make one wonder but, at this stage, specific views are not offered:-:
1. The Police may be going to protest over cuts ... The Guardian 8th March ... Should they? See the earlier post - Peaceful Protest
2. Does this sex discrimination claim merit £70,000 in compensation? The Guardian 8th March. [NB: No liability was admitted]. See also Criminal Injuries Compensation
3. Did this man merit a greater fine? Man fined £50 for burning poppies .... The Court's judgment is here. See the Magistrates' Courts Sentencing Guidelines at page 88 - which the District Judge who passed sentence "must" work to. See further the earlier post - "Rights entail responsibiltiies"
4. Why is the government doing this? New Statesman. Here is a link to the draft convention.
5. Should these places be run by private enterprise? The Guardian 6th March. It may be the way of the future - "Breaking the Cycle ...."
