Statutory public nuisance
The common law offence of public nuisance was replaced by a new statutory offence of intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to the public under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022
A person can be charged with this offence if they intentionally or recklessly cause a public nuisance, meaning they either intend for their actions to cause harm or are reckless as to whether their actions will cause harm
Elements of the statutory offence:
Section 78 of the PCSCA creates an offence of intentionally or recklessly causing public nuisance, where four elements are met:
A person does an act, or omits to do an act that they are required to do by any enactment or rule of law (s.78(1));
The person’s act causes or creates a risk of ‘serious harm’ (s. 78(1)(b)(i)) Alternatively, the person’s act obstructs others in the exercise or enjoyment of a right that may be exercised or enjoyed by the public at large (s. 78(1)(b)(ii)).
‘Serious harm’ includes for the purposes of section 78 of the PCSCA, any damage to property, personal injury, disease, or death. ‘Serious harm’ further includes serious distress, serious annoyance, serious inconvenience, or serious loss of amenity. (s. 78(2));
The serious harm, risk of serious harm, or the obstruction to others, is to ‘the public or a section of the public’ (s. 78(1)(b)); and
The person intends their act or omission will have the consequence mentioned, or is reckless as to whether it will have such a consequence (s. 78(1)(c))
In the context of water companies you can see that intention is not a prerequisite. Being reckless is enough

"An "extinction burst" refers to a temporary increase in a behaviour when reinforcement for that behaviour is removed, as the individual attempts to maintain the desired outcome. In the context of empires, this concept suggests a period of heightened activity or aggression as an empire faces decline or imminent defeat, trying to cling to its power"
"These "bursts" can manifest as military campaigns, political maneuvering, or other actions aimed at clinging to what the empire has been used to receiving (power, resources, etc.)"
"It's important to note that these bursts can sometimes be misinterpreted as signs of strength or a resurgence when, in reality, they are often a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo"

Some good news!
"The Court of Appeal has today ruled that legislation granting the police ‘almost unlimited powers’ to restrict protests was created unlawfully. Judges dismissed an appeal from the Government, finding in favour of human rights organisation Liberty.
Liberty welcomed the landmark ruling, saying that the case sets an important precedent that ‘Government ministers must respect the law, and cannot simply step outside it to do whatever they want.’
Liberty has called on the Government to accept the judgment, and to review every arrest that has been made under the law."

From 55 mins talking about council tax I would just like to add that we do know that at least 25% of council tax goes into the local government pension scheme which invests in arms companies - see here
I can also tell you that I paid £10.08 a month for a twice monthly bin collection when I had my business. So that minimal amount is all it costs for refuse collection
Council tax is theft. Outright. It's taken to fund gold plated pensions and the rest is supposedly used on things we already pay for in other taxes. Not our fault our corrupt government can't balance the books because it spends so much on errant projects of harm
If they can't pay for needs from all the income tax, VAT, NI, IHT, CGT, stamp duty, Corporate tax, fuel duty, sugar tax, IPT and any other taxes they levy (soon we will be back to window tax), then what does that tell you? Fraud and misuse that's what

"I have supported Israel, pretty much at all costs. But today, I want to say that I got it wrong". "And I condemn Israel for what it is doing to the Palestinian people"

FOI documents show that Israel is behind the crackdown on dissent in the UK - article from Council Estate Media
"The documents demonstrate that Israel holds influence over government ministers, the Attorney General’s Office, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the police"
"The latest revelation is that the AGO passed on contact details of the CPS and counter-terrorism police to the Israeli embassy in a heavily-redacted email. Needless to say, the CPS is supposed to be operationally independent and there is no reason for the Israeli embassy to be in contact with it"
"It’s not just the Israeli embassy that has been interfering in our justice system. FOI documents show that Home Office ministers and staff have been pressuring police and prosecutors to act against Palestine Action since way before 7 October. Their goal was to “reassure” Elbit Systems"

Anyone up for brainstorming to sue water companies for nuisance given their dumping of waste into water?
In 2024 - "The supreme court has now said water companies can be sued for nuisance even if there is “no negligence or deliberate misconduct” 👇
https://constructionmanagement.co.uk/water-companies-can-be-sued-for-polluting-says-supreme-court/
These women 👇 tried to make a citizens arrest last month and the police did sweet fa. They don't seem to know the law either as intention is not a prerequisite for the statutory criminal offence of public nuisance
Intention to pollute is generally not a requirement for civil liability either, but can be a factor in the severity of the offence and the potential penalties. The Supreme Court clarified that private citizens can bring actions for nuisance or trespass even if there's no negligence or deliberate wrongdoing, as long as the pollution causes a disturbance to the quality of the water
Let's sue them all. Together

Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group was yesterday ordered to pay $167 million in damages after they hacked 1,400 WhatsApp accounts belonging to journalists, human-rights activists and government officials
"In December, Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that NSO Group had broken cybersecurity laws by using its popular Pegasus spying software to target phones with WhatsApp installed in 20 countries. Meta owns WhatsApp, an encrypted messaging app with over two billion users, as well as Facebook and Instagram"

ASSISTED DYING BILL - PLEASE CONTACT YOUR MP
The Report Stage, and possibly the 3rd reading and vote, for the Assisted Dying Bill is scheduled for next Friday 16th May. Media reports suggest that, following the committee stage and the publication of the much awaited Impact Assessment, that MPs who had voted for the bill are changing their minds.
🔔 CALL TO ACTION - If you have not already contacted your MP please email them ASAP to outline arguments against the bill and ideally to request a short meeting to discuss your concerns. 🔔
The Together Campaign have produced a helpful template letter that you can edit with the following key points to consider including:
- Weakened Safeguards: Protections for vulnerable people have been removed or weakened, increasing their risk of coercion
- Lack of Oversight: A vague panel replaces judges, raising concerns about spotting coercion or assessing mental capacity
- Hospice Impact: Hospices may be forced to allow assisted suicide or lose funding, threatening care for the dying
- Profit Risks: The Bill allows for-profit companies to offer assisted suicide, risking exploitation
- Impact on NHS: Making assisted suicide an NHS service undermines its duty to preserve life and weakens patient trust
- Harmful Message: Combined with care cuts, the Bill sends a message that vulnerable people are a burden
- System Pressure: NHS shortages may lead to patients being pushed toward assisted death
- Unclear Legislation: The Bill has changed significantly since the last MP vote, removing safeguards and leaving key details uncertain
UKMFA also have several resources and further information on our campaign page.

👆👆"The powers, passed in June 2023, had initially been democratically voted down just a few months earlier. Braverman instead used secondary legislation, which requires far less parliamentary scrutiny, to bring the laws into effect. A cross-party parliamentary committee said at the time this was the first time a government had ever sought to make changes to the law through so-called ‘Henry VIII powers’ which had already been rejected by Parliament when introduced in primary legislation"
These powers (used all over the place in legislation) killed democracy (if it ever existed) and set the stage for the law to be used as a weapon. Their name should be a clue given the bloke just lopped off heads when he got a new squeeze
I'm all over the misuse of these powers in my book. I'm halfway through it now

Israel has drone bombed an aid flotilla in international waters. The flotilla is not far from Malta - 1,600 NM from Gaza - yet THEY STILL ATTACKED IT. It had 30 human rights activists aboard.The flotilla is currently located in international waters (just off Malta). SOS distress signal was sent
Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), international waters grant freedom of navigation, meaning the drone attack violates, ONCE AGAIN, international law
Not their first rodeo in blowing things up in intl waters

Shops could be forced to accept cash payments
"There may come a time in the future where it becomes necessary for HM Treasury to mandate cash acceptance if appropriate safeguards have not been implemented for those who need physical cash," the report said"
The BBC reporting on this has me wondering. Maybe the fly in the ointment is the committee calling on the government to "vastly improve" monitoring and reporting of cash acceptance levels? That kind of monitoring could be used nefariously I guess

I really appreciate the reporting from outlets like Declassified, as their work will make it difficult for the UK to sanitise its role in the atrocities in Palestine once this conflict ends—and it will eventually end. This is why I reject attempts to attribute this horrific crisis solely to one specific religious group
Political Zionism - an ethno-religious colonial apartheid system - is heavily supported by the UK and US, both of which bear significant responsibility for their assistance to Israel in committing war crimes. In these countries, there are countless fanatical Christian, Jewish, and agnostic Zionists (probably other faiths too), actively funding and/or cheering on a horrifying campaign of murder and ethnic cleansing. When the consequences of this finally hit home, the UK and US will no doubt try to distance themselves from any wrongdoing. And much like with COVID, I also expect hundreds of thousands of citizens to start expressing horror and dismay at the murder of tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children by psychopaths, conveniently forgetting their complicity—whether through active support or indifference—during the daily carnage. I hope I never encounter such people; I have nothing kind to say to any of them
