MsR has tagged me with the latest “What are you reading” meme:
WHAT ARE YOU READING?
The rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people
OK. Here goes:
“These reasons are built into the procedures of the application for judicial review, which requires for example […]
Some news reports are just too weird to be plausible. When one thinks of John Prescott, the lard-ass ex deputy Labour party leader with an unsurpassed talent for inarticulate gibberish, a number of images spring to mind. One that doesn’t is John hunched over a toilet bowl returning his lunch to the wild. It seems […]
Having also been on the wrong end of a major bollocking recently Geeklawyer has not a little sympathy for Mr Justice Peter Smith. Pete was referred to the Office for Naughty Judges (OJC) last year after showing “undoubted animosity” towards one of the parties in a case before him.
At least that’s the polite version. Geeklawyer […]
Geeklawyer is feeling a wee bit bitter and twisted. First Geeklawyer got beaten to a Times writing gig by law blogger BabyBarista (who feigned surprise at this and expressed both justifiable admiration for Geeklawyer and pain at his being deprived of his rightful dues). Then Geeklawyer blog fangirl, Evil Lena gets a Comment is Free […]
Which was not his attitude to his manservant’s ‘box’.
Geeklawyer has covered the story before. It seems that this is the first time in a century that a Royal has been blackmailed (though of course if it were successful how would one know?) Obviously it can’t be true because the victim is a married Royal with […]
It isn’t just Geeklawyer who thinks Internet access is a human rights issue and that “three strikes” and you’re off the Internet is a music industry bullshit way of dealing with copyright infringement and their own broken business models.
More proof that the “War on Terror” is having absurd knock on effects on common sense. […]

[Register] There is an hilarious story of some South London chav scum wanting a taxi to Bristol airport. This shell suited scrubber, presumably 16 and with a baby in tow, rang the directory inquiries operator:
Chav Whore: “I need a Joe Baxi”
Operator: “I can’t find anyone by that name”
Chav Whore: “It ain’t a person, it’s […]

Geeklawyer was, predictably, smug at the Court of Appeal’s decision to tell the Government that Tony Bliar’s policy of ejecting People-We-Dont-Like to Tyrannies-We-Now-Like with civil liberties regimes that he hoped to emulate is illegal. Of course the obvious danger to this unwilling tourist was entirely negated: Phoney Tony got a solemn good conduct note, scribbled […]
Twatty government minister are prone to saying that we are facing new types of [something dangerous/annoying] in society that needs legislating against to protect the public, or actually to appease Daily Mail readers. Hoodies are a classic example but Professor Robert Bartlett has done research and found that gangs of lawless binge drinking hooded yoofs […]
NO2ID and Privacy international have issued a £1000 bounty for anyone who can legally obtain the fingerprints of Gordon Brown and those of his typist/Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.
The stunt was inspired by the publication in Germany of the fingerprints of their Interior Minister.
The Government is pedalling the idea that retinas & fingerprints are a biometric […]
