Isn’t life jolly?

The Bank Holiday coming up; Geeklawyer has just finished tramping across the South Downs; the Sun is shining; beer is plentiful (Stella leftover from a party but hey, at least he has Perry cider), en ex-girfriend is finally getting her life sorted out and Princess Dianna has been dead ten years.

So what? so nothing, these are all good things: Geeklawyer is just in a fine mood. He thought it might be useful to point out that he is not all drunken deranged posts. No mention shall be made of the evil legal blogger who incited Geeklawyer to get drunk and rant. Tut tut.

It isn’t just about T-shirts — it’s about respect.

The decent folks of Peterborough can rest a little easier tonight. The recent spate of horrifying incidents of people wearing mildly rude t-shirts looks to be being brought under control.

Dave Pratt may be, it is hoped, the last foully attired chap in that poor benighted besieged town. The lethargic Police Community Support Officers seem finally to have been stung into action by the sight of crying children having their eyes covered by terrified cowering parents as the vile Mr Pratt sauntered down the street striking fear into the hearts of all around.

Why oh why could they not have more quickly followed the heroic example of Sussex Police in dealing with ‘T-shirt terrorism’? In 2005, at terrible risk to themselves, brave Sussex bobbies leapt upon an 8o year old ex-World War 2 RAF man, driven insane by his war experiences one imagines; almost certainly he was hell-bent on killing the Cabinet at the Brighton Conference, but he gave himself away by wearing an anti-Blair/Bush t-shirt.

No, the baby boom generation have lived soft lives and don’t know the value of service. But Thames Valley Police have the right idea: young people are the future, so recruit younger police. They have the hunger to serve the people and the obey the party and the Dear Leader.

It’s not about freedom of speech or proportionate policing: it’s about respect and loyalty the party.

reminder — ORG Party Wednesday 11th April London.

A reminder to all lawyers: the Open Rights Group’s party is taking place this Wednesday the 11th April at 7 pm at Bar Kick 126–127 Shoreditch High St. E1 6JE

You would not normally be hip enough to get into such a place. You know it and so does Geeklawyer. However Geeklawyer has arranged with ORG and his personal sex Goddess Becky Hogge for a special dispensation for you to mix with the hip cool young folks and cyber-rights activists normally outside your milieu.


Geeklawyer and Ruthie will be there, high fiving, fighting off the fans and paparazzi. Readers are not merely permitted to attend but positively encouraged to do so; and for this one evening he may condescend to speak to you so good is the cause. If you have trouble with the bouncers just say “Geeklawyer said I could come”, that’ll do.

ORG Party — even lawyers are welcome

In a blatant and cynical attempt to do a sort of networking/viral/Web 2.0 thingy, kinda, the digital civil liberties group ORG are having a party in London on the 11th April in the Bar Kick @ 127 Shoreditch High St.
