The basic facts (however one looks at it) ---

I am Mr Intu. I own the Metrocentre. Some devilishly handsome folk are taking photos of broken down bendy buses in my shiny new bus station with its Subway, vending machines and pan pipe music.

I don't like this photo taking. It's my property, my land. Get out. I don't have to give you a reason. I can ask you to leave my property at any point. You might have looked at me funny in House of Fraser. I don't care. You are gone.

Now my good friend PC Plodder might say he won't arrest you and that is quite fine but it remains a civil matter and I as the landowner don't want you on my land so off you go. I order you to leave, but you won't go. PC Plodder comes back, he'll be forced to advise you to leave or you'll be arrested.

I'm not breaching any human rights you hold, that quite frankly is bollocks. I am not discriminating against you. You are taking unauthorised photos on my premises and at times you are putting yourself at risk....think of my insurance man!!

Oh hang on there's an idea...I'll charge you for an authorised permit. £40 a year and you can take as many photos of broken down bendy buses accompanied by pan pipe music and access to shiny vending machines
