Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay

I helped make this film with three survivors of genocide called The Warning Signs

We must remember and be vigilant genocide always begins with the denial of rights
Genocide doesn’t happen overnight. It comes in stages. If we ignore the denial of basic rights we risk repeating history

#HolocaustMemorialDay
Here is more on the 10 stages of genocide eachother.org.uk/ten-stages-of-…
Today at 1pm-2pm @DoughtyStreet has an online event to Mark #HolocaustMemorialDay. All are welcome
The full @EachOtherUK film on The Warning Signs is here

Genocide doesn’t begin with mass murder... it begins with the denial of basic rights

#HolocaustMemorialDay
How the Holocaust impacted human rights - by me in @JewishChron

If you read one book on the Holocaust and human rights I recommend @philippesands' wonderful East West Street.

I spoke to Philippe about the book, the Holocaust and the 'dying of the light' in this podcast

Oh dear the "spirit of the law" is back

"Our view is that Tesco's actions go against the spirit of the law"
Power to impose prohibition notice is very wide and doesn't require that the local authority has identified breaches of the law.

But the vagueness of the 'spirit of the law' may not go down well with a court looking at necessity and proportionality.

The 'spirit of the law' has haunted other public authorities' response to Covid enforcement recently 👻...

Some thoughts on the legality of hotel quarantine (thread)

- What will be the legal basis of hotel quarantine? I am guessing s45B(2)(b) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. Seems a pretty straightforward provision... /1
... but important questions about what detail will be.
- since likely to be a deprivation of liberty in human rights law will need safeguards.
- Will it need specific authorisation each time?
- regular reviews or will 14 days be compulsory?
- access to judicial review?
- As far as I understand Norway (another European Convention on Human Rights state) did this but without legal compulsion
- Interesting Human Rights question whether detention of *potentially* infectious people falls within article 5 exception (will depend in part on necessity)

I’m afraid to say that this behaviour may have been triggered in part by bogus advice going round the ultra orthodox Jewish community about how to get round the Covid restrictions. I have tweeted about it before
As I said
I have tried repeatedly to communicate with Rabbi Teitelbaum (whose leaflet I understand has gone to thousands of homes) as I guessed his constituents are not my followers on Twitter. I achieved some success in a leaflet being amended but not enough sadly

The fixed penalty notices are for more than 15 not ‘15+’🤦🏼‍♂️

And it’s not just for house parties, for any gathering over 15 (not 15+!) people 🤦🏼‍♂️
It has been pointed out to me, fairly, that there is another possible interpretation that if you attend with 15+ people (so there are 16+ people) you fall within the new rule. But the wording is ambiguous as it could be the *party* which has 15+

🚨Fixed Penalty Notices for indoor gatherings of over 15 people to be increased to £800 for attendance.

- Currently Fixed Penalty Notices for attending gatherings in breach of rules is maximum £200 (or £100 if you pay within 14 days)
This is wrong in BBC announcement - @ChrisMasonBBC

Current Fixed Penalty Notice for someone who "holds or is involved in the holding" of a gathering over over 30 people (not 15) is £10,000

See legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1374…
As I have pointed out a few times, the £10,000 Fixed Penalty Notice 'mega fine' has always been a strange aspect of the regulations enforcement regime.
