From the letters page of the latest Private Eye (No.1276): "PPS The police have just issued pictures of the most wanted students in the UK in connection with the riot. Unfortunately, two of them are architects from our office which was under siege at the time in 30 Millbank. We have had a great deal of fun today at their expense. One of them was heard to comment, "How can I be a violent student? I'm wearing a pullover"." (If anyone would like to discuss the propriety of clue 12 across in the PE crossword, please PM me.) Cf also, re vigilantism

> They have also worked out that SpaceyCat, sitting at the window watching them, is completely harmless. Or they're playing chicken? It's always blue tits, innit. I think I heard something on the radio last week about ?blackbirds learning new behaviours so as to use the feeders. Any pioneers sighted locally?

Heard on Radio 4 this morning -- an allegation of corruption against Fifa officials, an allegation of perjury against the main prosecution witness in the Ali Dizaei case, all against people who've not been convicted. Why don't the BBC just stop this vigilantism and witch-hunting, respect people's human rights, and leave this stuff to the police to deal with?

What other rights would you give them? PACE 1984 s24A, as amended: "Arrest without warrant: other persons (1) A person other than a constable may arrest without a warrant?

(2) Where an indictable offence has been committed, a person other than a constable may arrest without a warrant? (a)anyone who is guilty of the offence; (b) anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty of it. (3) But the power of summary arrest conferred by subsection (1) or (2) is exercisable only if? (a) the person making the arrest has reasonable grounds for believing that for any of the reasons mentioned in subsection (4) it is necessary to arrest the person in question; and (b) it appears to the person making the arrest that it is not reasonably practicable for a constable to make it instead. (4) The reasons are to prevent the person in question? (a) causing physical injury to himself or any other person; (b) suffering physical injury; © causing loss of or damage to property; or (d) making off before a constable can assume responsibility for him."

That's the National Rail Anytime day return fare using a paper ticket. The singles would have been ?2.40 each. NR off-peak is no longer available in London now you can use Oystercards. The structure encourages the use of Oyster PAYG, which would be ?1.70 each way off-peak. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14414.aspx

A dalek "in full working order", allowing itself to be detained and carted back to the nick?

>I'm not unduly bothered about the tree, just concerned that these men are up to no good. Indeed. If they are stealing, which is quite presumable. they could have been at it for months. Do tell the police. They like information, and suspects in possession of evidence. [Added] OTOH, they might just have been assuming it was rubbish. That might still amount to theft, though in that case you might well not want to assist a prosecution (I doubt the police would act anyway). I think on balance I'd still at least pass on the information to the police, on the basis of its being possibly very useful.

So ultimately a totally unworkable law. "s.45(2) A constable may seize and retain an article which he discovers in the course of a search by virtue of section 44(1) or (2) and which he reasonably suspects is intended to be used in connection with terrorism." [My emphasis] Section 44 authorises only the exercise of stop and search, and gives no powers concerning photography. Section 45 similarly says nothing about photography, or the destruction of property.

>How can you tell by looking at the cash machine if it has one of these things fitted - is there something sticking out from >the slot where the card is inserted or is it less obvious than that??? It's like apiece of plastic tape, stuck inside the slot. But here has to be something there, to enable the thief to recover the device, along with your captured card. Some sites recommend feeling along the slot for two small prongs enabling them to do that. Other sites mention gluing instead, in which case the join might actually be just within the slot. I think I'd additionally, in the absence of anything better, at least give my card a good waggle across the slot, pressing it along the top and lower edges, just to see if there seemed to be anything there. This particular device does look as if it gives a better opportunity than most to catch the perps, as they can only capture one card at a time, and so will very likely be lurking in the area (if I'm wrong in this, please say), maybe in a car with a wifi laptop. So If I got the telltale sign -- the ATM's repeated mechanical attempts to 'swallow' the card -- I think I'd phone 999 immediately, tell the operator it was a Lebanese Loop scam with the likelihood that the perps would be trying to recover my card as soon as I'd left, and suggesting that if they wanted to do some discreet observation for the pick-up, to phone me back once they were in position. One web page mentioned that, instead of cameras, some of these scammers use a 'helpful bystander' who'll advise you that you to re-enter your PIN a couple of times, in order just to note the number. So beware them too, and if you're playing along, enter a wrong number.

There were two young men in suits inside the Co-op yesterday afternoon, importuning customers as they left. As I hurried past I'm pretty sure I say that their lapel labels said Talk Talk, and I think I might have been asked if I was with BT. If so, what on earth is the Co-op doing letting them do their selling on the premises? I hope they at least got a large fee for it.

>In a nutshell, if traffic is moving when you enter a box junction >and you stop in box junction for what ever reasons, then no contravention has happened. That's very far from my reading of the reproduced case summaries shown in the March 2009 thread you've cited.

Remember when you could have a fixed drive uncluttered by the likes of chains and cogwheels?

That reminds me, I think I have somewhere a spare copy for sale of Siegel's Non-parametric statistics. Huguenot?

What a nifty and unobtrusive little feature. I don't think I'd have found it on my own. Note though that it only works -- both the toggle and the masking -- when you're logged in.

The hinge is an instrument of repressive tolerance.

Kbabe1, on those facts your case sounds the kind that the late statutory declaration procedure could deal favourably with, once you've mustered as much evidence as possible concerning your notification of change of address, its date and consequences, to supplement your own sworn assertions. http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1043.htm It's going to be the local authority that will make any refund.
