Queen's Speech

Now I know that all I've read today has been the Daily Mail which doesn't exactly present a balanced view, but it says that some of the new legislation in the Queen's Speech will enable the police to issue closure notices on people's property if they have been behaving badly enough, i.e. loud music.

It goes on to say that these people will be able to be physically removed from their house even if they own it, and attempting to return could carry a six month jail sentence.

Bearing in mind that only this week the govt has paid out loads of cash to heroin addict prisoners for making them do "cold turkey" in prison, so preventing them from obtaining methodone, and so infringing their human rights, am I the only one who thinks that forcibly preventing a house owner from gaining access to his or her property is asking for more human rights pay-outs?

It's in The Times as well, although it's only a part of the report. They
report that the police will be able to move against private and rented
owners to get premises closed down inside 48 hrs. Seems to confirm what
you say.

And yes, if it happened to me, I'd be straight down the Human Rights court
for a hearing.

It's the Queen's speech. Nothing suggested therein will get through the 2
houses and become law, so you can continue with your antisocial noisefests,
as long as you invite us.

Not sure how that can be since Pan doesn't do HTML. Have you seen any of
my posts appear as html before?

I'm not being snippy here BTW, I'd really like to know.
