It says

Do not photograph or film people in public

In the UK, you should not take pictures of videos of someone without their permission.

It’s not only confusing, it’s trying to simplify a nuanced law, but coming out with something much more restrictive.

Everything in the information is fine, except the bit about “you’re not able to photograph people without their permission”.

While in the context of the topic that’s true, in general you are allowed to photograph people in public. It’s what you do and the intent behind taking the photos that matters.

The big concern is that people will think this strict “you can never photograph without permission” take from the Home Office is accurate, and then use it to justify harassment of anyone with a camera that they don’t like.

where it effectively means you can’t focus on a person as the main subject of the picture or video without their permission, but it’s OK if they are just in the background.

The law allows for that, however the implication of the literature released by the Home Office implies otherwise. They literally said “you can’t photograph others without permission”.

The main issue is that this is an official government publication, and as such people will regard it as factual. It’s less that the law could come down on someone taking photos in public, but more that some self-righteous asshole might start a fight with someone taking photos, thinking the more strict version of the law the Home Office implied is accurate.

And there’s also the slippery slope aspect of this being a potential first step to removing the right to photograph others without permission altogether.

The arrests are on conspiracy to commit murder, sounds like the police found messages on their phone about them targeting this guy.

Also they keep showing that picture of him dressed up, like from a wedding or something. This is probably a more recent picture:

Not sure how old the other photo is - looks like the same glasses, but also in the other photo he looks more like a young kid than a 27 year old man.

Hopefully they find enough to convict.

The point is to put them on medication and release them from prison. The suppression drugs are at least temporary.

However, ministers are re-evaluating whether to press ahead with Shabana Mahmood’s pledge to explore mandatory chemical castration of serious sex offenders, such as paedophiles and rapists.

This part is the cruelty is the point part.

Not to defend rapists and paedophiles, but chemical castration was what they did to Alan Turing. The government and the legal system cannot be trusted to implement such harsh punishment and not inflict it on innocents.

And more poignantly, Turing’s castration was voluntary as a condition of his early release.

But after the judge will tack on a terrorism designation and sentencing anyway.

The proposed data centre would have 40 parking spaces to facilitate and support its continuous 24/7 operation.

So like, 100 jobs, tops. Many of them probably shared with other sites.

Ignorance of the law is not a valid defence, anyway.

… but it’s not illegal to take photos of people in public?? Not inherently, anyway. What matters is your intent and what you do with the photos - publishing the photos could be an offence, and taking photos for sexual gratification likely would be. But generally, in public you don’t have an expectation of privacy and being photographed or recorded in public is legal.

Too many bigots have gained too many supporters

How did they get so much support? In no small part it is because they were promoted on the BBC.

In his downtime I think he should consider touring with Angine de Poitrine. They’re black and white/white and black, he’s grey, they’re all aliens; it would be a mash up made in heaven.

Hopefully he’ll be kicked out of the university of Ghent, just like he was at Cambridge.

Your link, without tracking.

You’re exactly right.

Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Jenrick said: “We will not pretend this is painless.

He won’t be the one feeling the pain, he is openly admitting that he is setting out to cause pain to British citizens.

They’re so evil

I think there were other institutions that he had been associated with that also cleared him. Cambridge will likely only look at work he’s done while with them, and defer to Liverpool or others for work he did elsewhere.

even if this poor guy did plagiarise blatantly

From what I understand, he didn’t. He lied and embellished his previous experience, but I don’t think any of the claims of plagiarism have stuck.

Most of the investigations into his allegations of plagiarism, the ones that have concluded, determined that he did not plagiarise.

Allegations that were made by a self-described “race-realist”.

Did he actually get found guilty of plagiarism? I thought most if not all investigations put him in the clear for that.
