Even if there is a law that would give the local council the necessary power, freedom of speech (given from the british constitution or human rights or the constitution of the EU) would override that.
- raverbashing 14y agoThere is no such thing as a British constitution ;) There is a bill of rights though
- onli 14y agoWikipedia says otherwise ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_Kin... Well, in a sense.
- raverbashing 14y agoYes "Unlike many other nations, the UK has no constitutional document. In this sense, it is said not to have a written constitution but an uncodified one"

- jahewson 14y agoThe UK doesn't have Free Speech in the US sense, nor a Constitution (with a capital C). I don't think there's a right to photography of private (albeit publicly owned) property, especially a school.
- SagelyGuru 14y agoIf you read my comment above, she is not photographing their private property (the school) but her own private property (the bought lunch). They say they can impose any rules they like as a condition of entrance on their property, even though it is not a voluntary entrance. Her parents may have a choice to send her to a non-council school but she has no choice. As to the UK's non-existent constitution: the point is that in most countries a stronger parliamentary majority is required to change the constitution, whereas in the UK any shaky government, that just happened to muster a majority of one on a rainy day, can abolish the Magna Carta, for instance.
