NTIA Lawyers File for Judicial Review Against UK Lockdown Lunacy

Leaders in the night-time economy have launched a legal challenge over impending lockdown rules which could see pubs and bars forced to close in coronavirus hotspots.

Night-time economy adviser for Greater Manchester Sacha Lord said lawyers have been instructed to seek a judicial review into any further restrictions on hospitality and entertainment venues across the North of England.

Trade body The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) said the measures have “no scientific rationale” and could have a “catastrophic impact” on late-night businesses.

It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepares to set out a three-tier strategy in an attempt to curb surging Covid-19 infections, with areas in England labelled as medium, high or very high risk.

Mr Lord, co-creator of the Parklife festival and The Warehouse Project, who is leading the legal action, said leaders in Greater Manchester have not seen “any tangible scientific evidence to merit a full closure” of venues in the area. He said:

“Despite discussions and ongoing calls for data, we have not yet been shown any tangible scientific evidence to merit a full closure of the hospitality and entertainment sectors across Greater Manchester. We have therefore been left with little choice but to escalate the matter further.”

The move is supported by the NTIA, which represents businesses across the night-time economy, and The British Beer and Pub Association, as well as a number of breweries and operators across Greater Manchester.

Michael Kill, chief executive of NTIA, said:

“These new measures will have a catastrophic impact on late-night businesses, and are exacerbated further by an insufficient financial support package presented by the Chancellor in an attempt to sustain businesses through this period.

“This next round of restrictions are hugely disproportionate and unjust, with no scientific rationale or correlation to PHE (Public Health England) transmission rates, when compared to other key environments.Systematic closure of businesses across the UK must be challenged when there is no clear evidence or reason.”

On Monday, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden made clear that the Government will resist any legal challenge to closures of pubs and restaurants.

“I think they will find that if they challenge the Government we do have robust evidence for doing this,” he told Sky News.

“The evidence shows that there is a higher risk of transmissions in hospitality settings. There is academic evidence from the United States.”

Mr Dowden told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the case for new restrictions on the hospitality sector is supported by the Government’s chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance.

“We know there are challenges around hospitality – for example, the obvious point you can’t wear a mask when you are sat down and eating, that frequently you are in contact (with people) that you don’t normally meet, and we know that the virus thrives on that kind of social interaction,” he said.

    What they need to do is bring criminal charges against the government and opposition parties for perpetrating a biological fraud against the people. Then the process for identifying the ideology of these Marxists can be ascertained, and appropriate punishment rendered for Crimes Against Religious-Based Civilizations:

    Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Karl Marx (1843)

    https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/Marx_Critique_of_Hegels_Philosophy_of_Right.pdf

    “The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.”

    …and…

    “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”

    …and…

    “It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world.”

    Now you know what Marxists are referring to when they utter the phrase, “The Struggle”…

    “The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.”

    At my blog, read the articles…

    ‘The Marxist ‘Gender Pay Gap’ – Class Struggle Meets Gender Struggle: Females Earn More Than Their Equally Matched Male Counterparts’

    ‘Playing Hide And Seek In Yugoslavia’

    Then read the article, ‘The Marxist Co-Option Of History And The Use Of The Scissors Strategy To Manipulate History Towards The Goal Of Marxist Liberation’

    Solution

    The West will form new political parties where candidates are vetted for Marxist ideology/blackmail, the use of the polygraph to be an important tool for such vetting. Then the West can finally liberate the globe of vanguard Communism.
