Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
In London I used to have to deal with Saudi women who wore a full face veil, that even had the eyes covered by a lace net.
Should they be allowed to express their religious freedom in a cour of law?
What happens in prison?
Are Muslim women exempt from wearing standard issue prison uniform?

In prison you lose your full rights, regardless, so its a completely different issue. Thats what they say in the IVF cases anyway

I'm putting together a presentation of it right now, I could scan you my notes to prove it if I moved to go upstairs to the part of the library with the scanners its not a merry life doing work all day and night
My presentation is on abolishing the human rights actually, I'm meant to be arguing for abolishing it. Any opinions on that whilst I'm wasting time on here

So even though there may be male guards in a women's prison, their rights to modesty are not protected?
Seems to me like the law is inconsistent.
Suprise, suprise.

Re: Magistrate Reprimanded
And you KNOW i'm in the library because I've said elsewhere that I have no internet in my house, so I'm studying seen as I'm lancaster by myself til term starts and housemates get back. Pretty depressing but work needs to be done I guess! Havent eaten yet today and I can see the cafe out the window. Overpriced though so I will starve instead

Its unfair but true, just as I mentioned, some prisoners try to get IVF to have families with their partners who aren't in prison with them and its refused, they try to argue breach of Article 8. I dont think I need to say what that is argument hasn't stood up in court so far though and I dont think it ever will.

True, though the library is far from warm. I'm sure a comedian once commented about how his gran said, when talking about 3rd world countries, 'at least they get the sun.' Wouldn't it be nice if it was such a luxury for them like it is to us?
I care about the poverty stricken countries, I dont try and disassociate it by calling it the third world, its part of OUR world. I hate that terminology for poor countries. Not that i'm saying its your fault, you didnt invent the term. Just dislike the way it sounds.
