It's scary that I'm agreeing with you on something, but yes, I suspect the key knowledge gap isn't going to be who *isn't* someone on the banned list, I suspect it's going to be who SHOULD be refused and isn't going to be.

Actually they can already do that too, the difference is they currently need two of them to lie that you were being violent (and no other witnesses...) Now you don't have to get stroppy for them to call the cops. > 2) It is *possible* that other pubs will have the same licence > conditions. It is unknown if this will be forced on them or not.

I am, actively. I just don't see the point fighting something that is semi- justifiable(1), when there are any number of current laws that are absolutely horrificly (sp?) anti-freedom of movement, speech and association. Rule one of problem resolution knock over the big issues first and tidy up the loose ends afterwards.
