It is called R v Brown and others. A group of consenting adults was caught (don't know how) doing various violent things to each others private parts. They had a password, so that they could yell out in pain, but the activity would carry on, but if they yelled the password it would stop. Various people in the party were charged with assault type charges (to be fair, not sure if anyone was actually charged with torture). The question up for consideration was whether a person can legally consent to that kind of assault - if they could it wouldn't be an assault. It was found that they could, but the poor chaps in question were still convicted - of offending public morals. Not sure what that adds to the debate really but when studing the case I had a jolly good chuckle at reading various barristers terribly serious submissions to the court of appeal about the true nature of nailing genitals to a plank.....

Convicted drug-dealers were they, or were the police just doing a raid?


Either way it's wrong but if they aren't even convicted and are just suspects that makes it worse x 10. Come on Jimmy even you know the police are human and make as many mistakes as the rest of us. They have forced their way into my flat at 3am in the morning and I don't really fancy being tortured onlyto be told it was a mistaken identity


Also, drug dealers may be a blight on society but without them a large number of forumites wouldn't function.... that doesn't make it right of course. Just saying

Yes Sean the Police do make mistakes, and the guys who were nicked in the raid may well of been innocent on this occasion and at the time they were allegedly tortured they were indeed only suspects. But you can bet your bottom dollar that they probably were drug dealers with previous convictions. And ok, so they may have served some negligible amount of time in the clink for those crimes. But you've got to admit, it puts a smile on your face to read the blighters suffered a bit on this occasion.

"If they didn't do this they did something similar".


I'm sure that causes some kind of facial expression but it isn't a smile.

You probably aren't aware of it right now Jimmy but Sean is flexing and crunching his knuckles in preparation for his answer and will launch into it with all the passion and determination of a pianist. I can see him now, eye's closed, rolling his head from shoulder to shoulder............and he begins.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
