Well, as an elder of the Church of Scotland, Annabel Goldie presumably spends her weekends there. What was the timeline of this decision? If it was taken in whole or in part within the jurisdiction of Edinburgh's High Court of Justiciary, then that Court ought to be petitioned to exercise its declaratory power, to the effect that this was so clearly comparable to an existing crime as to constitute a criminal act in itself. That is a very, very, very long shot. But it is the best that we have.
