I'd have thought you and Damien would be aching to test your thesis about how non OMCG'ers are going to get banned. JL (it's why I suggested it)

Clearly, and by your own words, the legislation is flawed - in application, if not intent. Wouldn't the smart money then be on coming with up an alternative that WILL deliver, rather than persisting on trying to flog a lame horse to the finish line?

When corks is trying to paint the OMCG's as the collective devil incarnate (not that they need much help with that image anyway), I hope he doesn't forget the irony in the blind support he gives his colleagues. As the above mentioned inconvenience attests, there are many cops out there who are as bad if not worse than any OMCG member. Thankfully they're not all like him. But there are enough who are for it to make a difference even so.

[1] No, they are banning all logos and regalia (which raises George W's point about the non direct logos of the Hells Angels which it is unlikely the bouncers will be aware of - see further up thread and the original url) > [1] My point was that in addition to effecting people not involved with > the patch clubs it will also not effect some people involved with them Agreed, see earlier post, I think this is far more likely.
