This is a brilliant - and devastating - analysis of some more absurdities in the new Coronavirus Regulations. This is where legislation by a flick of a Minister’s pen gets you: not (yet) to Mordor, but down a rabbit-hole into Wonderland. ukpolicelawblog.com/index.php/9-bl…
Well, yes.
On enforcement: PC Dracul.
Well, quite.
I was a bit more graphic in a tweet yesterday about what “stay over” and “share a tent” mean: but yes.
Carry On Covid.
Not that Wales has done much better. What is “local”?
I want to visit Hay-on-Wye’s wonderful bookshops and the Black Mountains. Not reasonably practical for me to do that in Hackney. So off I go!
A huge h/t to Dijen Basu QC.

The Rump Parliament.
(See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rump_Parl…).
Its fate was to be dismissed by Cromwell in these famous words: “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

As Jo explains, there are serious (fatal) difficulties lying in the way of anyone seeking to challenge in our courts the resumption of Parliament without adequate measures to allow vulnerable and shielding MPs to participate and vote. But could the ECHR help?
Article 3 protocol 1 provides (broadly) that all citizens have the right to vote for their legislatures.
And in Demirtas v Turkey last year the Strasbourg court (ECtHR) held that Turkey breached that provision when it held an MP in extensive pre-trial detention when no reason was given for refusing bail.

What is interesting about pieces like this by @ShankerASingham is that (like almost all calls for “deregulation”) they get interestingly vague about exactly what deregulation they are suggesting.
There’s a strong implication that he wants to relax rules on beef hormones (as inconsistent with “the science”), GMOs, and pesticides. But no details of those relaxations or any other details.
I don’t think that that vagueness is accidental. The devil with deregulation is in the detail. And when it comes to food safety (in the aftermath of a pandemic) and animal welfare, the detail will be hotly fought.
