I am still avoiding work so let's look into "serving" "legal" documents, shall we?
An anti-Covid group served "legal documents" on Colchester Hospital

Apparently anyone can serve legal documents in England
It is recommended that you use a professional process server though as if the papers are not served correctly it can mean big issues in your court case later on.
Do we think these papers were served correctly?

At a bare minimum, the woman forced to receive these "legal documents" would have had to sign for each envelope to show that she received them
She would also have to agree that she is capable of acting as a representative of the person named in the papers

Now, I am not a lawyer but I would think that anyone other that the Trust's executive, their personal PA or the trust's solicitor would NOT be the recognised legal representative
Some poor woman cornered by because they thought she was an easy target isn't any of the above

Let's talk about the documents themselves, shall we?
While anyone can write up a legal document - you can write your own will or a business contract for example - doing so could lead to a whole host of problems

For example, the use of an Oxford Comma changed the outcome of a court case
(and yes, I know this is America but it would be applicable in the UK too)

Do we think this rowdy bunch are up on their grammar or are even aware what an Oxford comma is for that matter?
(I looked it up, you add it in after a list item for example
I like beans, cheese, and eggs
Rather than
I like beans, cheese and eggs)

Let's assume that they are able to write their own legal documents (even for all the money in the world I can't see a solicitor penning a document stating the ways in which the NHS breached the Nuremberg Code)
You'd probably need to get them notorised

It's recommend that a notary sign if you "make a statutory declaration or affidavit for declaring certain facts and statements"
I would think saying the NHS breached the Nuremberg code and is practising child endangerment falls under "declaring certain facts and statements"

I'd love to know if they were able to find one
I'm sure there are some COVID-denying notaries out there but would they risk their reputation and their job to sign off on these "legal" documents?

Let's say that they somehow find a Notary who is willing to sign them
Are they now "legal" documents?
Well yes, sort of
You still need to get it formally legalised

To do this you need to submit it to the GOverment and pay a £30 fee

Now, I am not saying that the government would refuse to legalise a document based on its content but....
I mean...
Would they accept this though?

So yet again, a fringe group of COVID denying plonkers are using big words and phrases to scare people who are just doing their job
I really so sorry for the NHS staff in the video shared in the first tweet - no one should be afraid to go to work or be bullied for helping people

As we saw with my Nuremberg Code thread they pick up on a phrase (here "serve legal documents") and use it without knowing its true meaning
The likelihood of this group having proper legal papers is miniscule

And the way the documents were "served"? Well the idiots filmed it so any decent lawyer would have the serving of the papers thrown out.
I know we shouldn't be giving air to this fools, but I think it's important to know that we should not take what people say at face value

Remember:
It's okay to ask questions
It's okay to do your own research (please pick proper sources, YouTube does not count as reliable)
You don't have to agree with everyone, just don't force your beliefs on them
And most importantly, be kind

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk on why people really need to research the Nuremberg Code and Serving Legal Documents before plastering their idiocy all over the internet
You've been a lovely audience and I'll see you again soon
