The worker, a 24-year-old man had both lower legs amputated following the incident at R W Waste Limited at its yard in Shedfield on 7 November 2023.

I’m glad he’s alive, at least.

I mean, kind of a given if you’re a racist.

From Wikipedia:

A PSPO placing restrictions on dog-walking was challenged via judicial review issued in Richmond upon Thames resulting in orders related to causing annoyance and damage to council property being removed. This affirmed the principle that PSPOs are intended to target antisocial rather than annoying behaviours.

Meaning that what the councils are doing now is probably not legal, but it looks like they’re targeting people who wouldn’t have the resources to challenge them in court.

From the Guardian article:

“The government recently lost three votes in a row in the House of Lords, as peers voted to ban fining for profit for PSPOs. Unfortunately, the government rejected the amendments, but has agreed to make changes to statutory guidance,” Appleton said.

Somehow the House of Lords seems more aligned with the public’s interests than the elected government.

I’d start by getting a bit more specifics, as it is very difficult to prove/disprove very vague claims.

For example:

1. Where did you read about it?
2. Which oil markets are being manipulated?
3. Who is doing the manipulating?
4. Which population(s) is/are affected?
