I'd have thought you and Damien would be aching to test your thesis
about how non OMCG'ers are going to get banned.

So if the legislation quite probably wont even be able to deliver the
intended results anyway, and quite probably will lead to unfair
discrimination against innocent parties, can you tell me just where the
advantage then is in having 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?

I'll bet they did.

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.

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)

Agreed, see earlier post, I think this is far more likely.
