IF THIS LAW GOES THRU UNCHANGED,
CHRISTMAS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

Already .. under existing legislation this week PEL officers in Cerne Abbas   Dorset have stopped Mummers performing a traditional play ... and then followed them 500 yeards down the road to stop them performing at another pub! (story: Dorset Echo: 18 December )

PLEASE put the details of this protest event in your calendar and pass it on to as many people as possible, and please attend if you can.   Just in case .. the House of Lords has confirmed that carol singing will be a licensable event (same license that a Landlord has to apply for!
