This is a good post on the injunction granted a couple of days ago to prevent people protesting outside of a Birmingham school inforrm.org/2019/06/01/bir…

The injunction is here inforrm.org/wp-content/upl…

Agree it will probably be varied (as too wide) or discharged entirely
You can get injunctions to restrict protest but because of the right to protest they have be carefully drafted and only as wide as they need to be to protect the rights of others

This (which applies to EVERYONE IN THE WORLD) seems too wide and will I think be narrowed
Read Hugh Tomlinson QC's post for a detailed analysis (also @Greg_Callus's thread ).

An important recent case on this was another injunction granted against "persons unknown" (ie the whole world) re anti-fracking protests (Inios) bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/…

Jonathan Sumption's third Reith lecture on 'Human Rights and Wrongs' is on @BBCRadio4 now 😬. Will tweet a bit about what he's saying in the thread below... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…
@BBCRadio4 I was at the first lecture which wasn't very interesting
He's talking about 'dynamic treaties' - a "supranational mechanism for altering and developing it in future"

He says that these create a source of law which is "independent of democratic process"

I imagine this isn't a good thing for him

They should all be disbarred*

* I mixed up practice and practise on my centralised pupillage application form which went to every chambers I applied to
It was something like "I want to practice in public law and human rights because..."

I was so mortified when I spotted it (too late) as I know that amongst barristers it is amongst the greatest crimes imaginable
To be entirely fair to me (and why wouldn't you be?!) I had just spent a year in the USA where there is no such thing as "practise"

I have no idea why the BBC keep inviting Jewish Voice for Labour on to comment on antisemitism. They are an irresponsible organisation which seems to exist almost exclusively to defend antisemites.
To recap what Willsman (member of NEC which takes key decisions about antisemitism) said, which you wouldn’t have caught from the interviewer or interviewee:

“It’s almost certain who is behind all this antisemitism against Jeremy: almost certainly, it was the Israeli embassy”
“They caught someone in the Labour Party who it turns out is an agent in the embassy”

Days ago, a federal judge, after testimony & evidence & petitions & a lawsuit, ruled that asylum seekers MUST BE given a bond hearing within 7 days.

Now BARR, one man, undoubtedly and irrevocably tied to Donald trump, is overruling immigration courts & the rule of law.

#DisBarr
So Barr decided, all by his lonesome, to overrule the court and make a decision which will impact hundreds of thousands of lives. ANY "alien," he says, who is marked for expedited removal, but then passes a Credible Fear Interview (many of those "apprehended" at the border...
including women and children) is not even eligible for a bail hearing. They'll be detained during the entirety of their deportation process (otherwise known as determining whether their asylum case has merit and they get to stay.)

Thanks to the backlog, this can take years.

Here in the United States, banks are required to meet the credit needs of the communities where they do business, under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. Penalties for violating the act can include temporarily freezing a bank's asset growth or denying all merger requests.
Some consider the law to be the last great policy of the Civil Rights era, in line with the Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), Fair Housing Act (1968), Equal Credit Opportunity Act (1974). Notice the gradual expansion from political rights to economic rights?
The Community Reinvestment Act or CRA went beyond merely outlawing "redlining" -- the practice of banks avoiding making loans to certain neighborhoods with a clear racial pattern as a result of systematic policies and real estate industry practices. nybooks.com/articles/2018/…

Here's what the Judd Legums of the world, in all their "investigative reporting" about #NC09, won't tell you: That there have been complaints about ballot milling in counties in that district that pre-date 2018, and even 2016. Sit back for a bit let me tell you a story. #ncpol 1/
In the fall of 2010, Wilmington-based WWAY TV station did a series on "GOTV" activities in Bladen County - the county which is in the center of the *current* #NC09 storm. Here's the link to that story, which I'll be quoting from extensively: wwaytv3.com/2010/10/01/man… #ncpol 2/
From that 2010 story: 'We received a number of calls in response to [our series] saying we never mentioned the biggest player of all in the Bladen GOTV arena. It’s called the Bladen County Improvement Association, and it’s been operating for at least 30 years.' #NC09 #ncpol 3/

Good morning sports fans it's day two of the #cpc18. I'm not there yet, but my coverage is starting early thanks to internet feelers I put out yesterday. I'm hearing that axing supply management has been scheduled as the last policy vote in it's session.
And that because it's the last vote in the session party members are going to try and run the clock on the policy session so it never comes to a vote, and therefore is shot down without being explicitly voted against.
I'll try and chase that down once I'm actually there.
