A little birdie told me, and the little birdie is an old bailey judge, That big jim o callaghan enacted the powers of the terrorism act and without consulatation with the minister of defence and called for the use of the army. None of the farmers behaved nor reacted in a way that warented the introduction of the terrorism act and now all protesters who were harmed during the attacks are fully entitled to sue the state for injury and loss. This little birdie says that the media is trying to use the word blockade as it would give reasonable cause for the reaction but when did a blockade occur that didnt involve a foreign nation. No wonder Mr Martin looked worried rather that pleased when the protests finished. All injured parties it seems can now sue the state.
According to The Law Dictionary (powered by Black's Law Dictionary), a blockade is defined as a maritime or terrestrial operation, typically in war, intended to prevent all communication, commerce, or passage to and from a specific port, coast, or location by surrounding it with armed forces.
Key Elements of a Blockade (Historical Context):
Purpose: To prevent ingress (entry) and egress (exit) of vessels or goods.
Method: A blockade must be maintained by an effective, physically present force, not merely declared on paper.
Legal Status: A legitimate blockade, in international law, requires notification to neutral powers and established blockade runners can be captured.
Now that dosnt sound like a bunch of farmers heating themselves with a fire and having a sing song while eating sandwiches does it?
