One would normally expect the government to win any terrorism case.
One would also expect the government to win any challenge to an SI, terrorism or otherwise.
Put the two together: on balance it would be more likely the government wins today.
But - nobody can predict a High Court case.

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.
Do we think that a) Epstein is the only person Mandy was doing favours for? and b) Mandy is the only one doing favours for people?
Do we?

Look sorry but if you take all the pedophilia and Mossad links out of the equation Jeffrey Epstein's emails suggest he is a stupid cunt who is a terrible hang and these diplomats are like "you sir are my FAVOURITE man in the whole wide world". That plane MUST have had a Soda Stream or something.

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.
In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.
Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

I'm not sure I remember a time before daily headlines discussing Rachel Reeve's plan for income tax.

I had my political differences with Dick Cheney, but in person I found him warm, funny, a gracious host and surprisingly knowledgeable about music. Seeing The Jesus Lizard with him in 2009 was a blast, and he didn't hesitate to wade into the pit despite a few sidelong glances.

Not really.
A failure to get necessary consents to a terror charge is not a slight error. They are safeguards when a person faces a serious charge.
Prosecutors should take such safeguards seriously: this is terrorism law they are using.

Yet transgender people are so dehumanized in society, casual abuse of us so normalized, that if the victim is trans? Then cisgender people don't even seem to recognize what would plainly be sexual harassment and attempts at sexual humiliation if the same abuse had been directed at them.

If that middle aged divorcee had spoken that way to some random cisgender teenage girl on a bus, made sexually charged comments to her about what kind of pornography she liked or asked about how sexually active she was, society would have no compunction calling that sexual harassment.

I want you to ask yourselves honestly, if a 50-something year old man started speaking to a minor who is cisgender, speculating what kind of pornography they watch, asking them if they've "groomed" (read: sexually abused) other minors, would that not be quite plainly sexual harassment?

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.
