  17. CW: Disability charities sounding the alarm, UKLaw

    "National charities Mencap, Mind, and the National Autistic Society have reacted with alarm to today’s Supreme Court ruling that removes the framework known as #CheshireWest. They warn that it strips fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people. ...

    "The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to _experience_ it—a view that devalues their fundamental rights."

    ! ! !

    "If a vulnerable person appears passive or does not actively protest their arrangements, the law may recognise this as "consent" — even if they are subjected to routine physical restraint or chemical sedation or have never known a life without a high level of restriction."

  22. The UK's Home Secretary is still defending a decision to ban the group Palestine Action. A High Court recently said the ban was unlawful. The Home Secretary says the ban is needed because of alleged criminal acts by the group. Police have arrested people for supporting the group.

    Coming from a Liverpudlian family, I care very much about the public health of the United Kingdom. I have been busy following the United Kingdom debate over the landmark Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2024-2025 this year - the bill is currently undergoing a committee debate in the House of Lords. Here is my report on the debate eprints.qut.edu.au/260960/

  25. Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg has appeared before magistrates to deny a public order offence after her arrest at a protest in central London.
    bbc.com/news/uk-england-london
    The 20-year-old Swedish national was detained at a demonstration near the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair on 17 October as oil executives met inside.

    She pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court to breaching Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986.

    Four other Fossil Free London activists pleaded not guilty alongside her.
