  • the rule is, the production company has to have your express permission if you directly talk to the camera or are featured in the footage. If you are in public and part of the crowd you cant ask for removal unless theres a good reason like court cases or something. You have to sign a form if you are more than just a person passing.

    heathrow in particular is interesting because nearly all large airports are public owned and heathrow is private. This is important because the production company has permission to film from the owners, and so as a customer you are on their premises and subject to their terms of entry, one of which is being filmed as a member of the public. If the production company does interview you or features you (not just a passing person) and do not have permission there have been many cases where the program has been held from broadcast until the matter is resolved. If you think you need to ask them the company and names of production staff are on the credits of the show.

    I know of one case with a prank tv show where the company pranked an estate agent by blowing up the house, and he got PTSD. The episode was never broadcast because he refused to sign the release, and sued the company for a serious amount of money. But the basic release form meant the company couldnt pass through the broadcast regulations.

    In public there are a few restrictions but basically its public land like a street and not expected to be empty of people. You cant film wembley arch because its licenced to the FA rather than the local council.



  • it makes you wonder what it was like before the new recall laws came in. The threat of actual consequences means people are getting punished, rather than what happened before where the Whips kept a black book of things to leverage people with. Oh you had an affair? Well you better vote this way. Oh theres a lobby paying you to ask questions and support a law? you better vote that way.

    Whips generally had a rule to burn their notebooks on leaving office.

















  • on the contrary, i read exactly what you said. I dont mean in a semantic way, I mean I read it and understood it.

    The problem youve got is, Starmer is one person and the closest to an ‘establishment’ man the Labour Party has ever had. Hes a lawyer and knighted by the Queen ffs. But hes also part of a corrective streak lasting for ten years since, myself included with all my heart, when Corbyn won the right to challenge for the leadership and royally fucked it all up. That is what happened, and to me, it proved that arseholes like Boris will sneak in if we dont put sensible people up. People who can read, people who are dedicated to public service as a vocation not a hustle like these crooks. They promote people like Lammy and Rayner, people like Cooper are balanced out with real left wing heroes to get where they have without going through Eton or be related to a slave owning family dynasty or whatever.

    Im sorry but the real left wing has to do better than give up after a few blows from a dying tabloid culture. The left isnt just the leader, its the entire working class and probably a large chunk of the middle as well, and writing it all off as not ‘left wing’ enough is a lie.


  • no. fuck Sunak, Boris, Rees Mogg, Farage and all those wankers whove ruined this country, and every single failure of the last few years hasn’t happened, like nothing matters to you. By turning away from Labour over this, by saying you want more of this seemingly endless, miserable shit - youre the arsehole. *not you specifically i hope you take this the right way.

    those Labour MPs, those hard working left and centre left of which Starmer is a part, they don’t deserve to be treated so poorly by some knee jerk tabloid analysis designed to provoke the exact reaction you are giving. This is exactly what needs to be terminated, this endless tabloid, reductive bollocks which is the same passionate but misdirected energy which gives birth to people like Robert Jenrick or Braverman, who put all their energy in because they feel passion for their job - but in aid of ruining people lives…

    they say jump you say how high
