Torture

Does anyone have a link for the Court of Appeal case whch said torture is legal within the UK?

Ruling was that evidence obtained by torture with involvement of UK
agents is non-admissable;
evidence obtained by agents of other states is.

But am glad that torture has NOT been declared legal in the UK! I was seriously worried for a moment.

Between one of these UK civilian tortures:

a. Your tube train is sweltering hot, and your head is mashed up
against the armpit of someone who has not bathed in days. The BO
is intense, you're sweating from every pore, and your newest business
clothes are damp getting wet in sauna-picadilly-line. The train
stops, 9 stops short of your stop. It seems the train is broken
down, and the only sound on the speaker is: "khakahhaakaa"

b. You have just had a builder in to do some plumbing in your flat.
You return the next day, and the wall is broken open, mess is every
where, and the plumber is nowhere to be seen. Stench from the
original sewage problem is still present, magnified by the hole in
the wall of the builder. Now you get to phone him, and convince him
to finish the job.

c. You are informed as you arrive at work today, that the company
has been dissolved, (you're sacked). You will not be recieving your
last paycheque. Before your spouse comes home, you've been surfing
away on UK government websites trying to find out how to get paid
for work you've already done.

d. You've spent the last 2 hours on the M6 going north at .2 miles
per hour through birmingham towards manchester. Its friday night,
and you've already missed your date. The car starts to run out of
petrol. The engine coughs and then dies in lane 3 of the packed
motorway.

e. For a prank, your mates decided to get you really drunk and then
they drop you off at midnight in southall without any money, laughing
as they drive away.
