Nick Newman applies to high court to change name in protest at legislation going through parliament
An architect has applied at the high court to change his name by deed poll to “Kill the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill” in protest at punitive new anti-protest legislation being debated in the House of Lords on Monday.
Nick Newman, 35, from London, went to the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday morning to make the application. It comes as peers have an unusual opportunity to vote down some of the most controversial of the government’s proposals.
