Do people think it would be useful for me to produce a single page document with Regulation 6 (Restrictions on Movement) and Regulation 7 (Restrictions on gatherings) which people could print and take out? Seems a lot of confusion but I don't want to do something unhelpful
Have produced a document but still mulling. There is a balance. I don't want to encourage people to be legalistic rather than following spirit of advice and doing right thing. But equally worried people will end up with fines or criminal convictions as they/police didn't know law
I decided not to publish *for now*. I don't think at this stage it would be helpful to have another source of info.

People should follow official advice: gov.uk/government/pub…

AND read these regulations (esp 6 and 7) which explain what is illegal legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/350/…
BUT it is incumbent on the Government to urgently produce a simple guide for the public *and* police to explain the difference between advice and law, and what each says. Otherwise I'll do it!

I'm worried by reports of how police are interpreting their new powers which came into force yesterday afternoon.. The thing which I was worried about earlier this week, a disconnect between the govt statement and the law, has come to pass (thread) thetimes.co.uk/article/police…
I summarised the regulations yesterday. As I said, they are different to the Prime Minister's statement. For example, there is no limit to how many times you can go out in the regulations. So the police can't enforce that /2
Importantly, there's no general "essential trip" requirement for police to enforce. For a trip to be lawful a person must have "reasonable excuse" and there are a number of those including to "take exercise" - no requirement for that to be "essential" /3

This is an excellent analysis of the new regulations - and I have the same concerns about their lawfulness. I think David is also right that there are arguments each
I was wondering @bricksilk about this the other night before the regulations were available. Seems a stretch to use the Public Health Act power
I think the govt would argue that everyone in the country is now potentially infectious. Some evidence of that. But it's a stretch

Here are the emergency regulations which the PM promised earlier this week:
The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England)Regulations 2020
They are pretty extraordinary. A quick summary in this thread /1 legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/350/…
Legal basis:
Sec of State can't usually make regs without parliamentary approval. But these are under Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984 which gives power to make emergency regs. They have to be reviewed after 21 days and terminated as soon as no longer necessary /2
The regulations expire after 6 months in any event /3

"Further, SSA [Somma] introduced that it was not coincidental that Podobnyy later met with PAGE, because the FBI knew that Podobnyy replaced Bulatov in his job role."

Hmm.....I seem to recall @carterwpage saying somewhere that there was a professor at Georgetown who used to (and still does) employ the term "Soviets" instead of Russians.
Name of the professor escapes me at the moment. Don't think it was said during a tv interview.

Might've been included in a letter, as an aside or a footnote.

Ah, oh well.

Most folks following me are probably aware that I am a big proponent of zines—as an alternative to the very good classic Xerox method, I make all of mine in Google Docs with some light PDF shenanigans. (Some details/tips below, but I’m always happy to field zine questions.)
For gDocs, the Statement page size is 5.5x8.5”, or a half letter page. When I’m done, I save as a PDF and then use BookletCreator to convert it to a booklet document (so I can just print, fold in half, staple).

bookletcreator.com
(Free up to 16 pages, $20 otherwise)
Editing zines in single-page files can be kind of hard to translate into how they look as spreads in your head, so sometimes I’ll set it to a 11x8.5” page with two columns and edit it like that, then convert to a single-page document at the very end.

(1) #TaosCompound New Mexico case updates thread #3 starting 8/26/18.

List of links to my series of threads about this case:


If you're new to my tweets about this case, you might want to read the earlier threads before commenting.
(2) At the end of the previous thread I wrote:

You can't outlaw religion. You can't outlaw thought crimes such as fundamentalist beliefs. You can outlaw delusional adults being around small children.

Sane adults had multiple opportunities to rescue these children in 2017-18.
(3) People on both the political left & right are so caught up in identity politics that they have lost sight of the central issues in this case.

A medically vulnerable child was abducted by people who told others they oppose modern medicine. LEOs had opportunities to save him.
