I think we do to be fair.  What is a free country? Do we live in a free country? I have no idea, but I do know that being in a free country doesn't mean you're free to do what you like, if your actions have a negative impact on others. Never has, never should, and hopefully never will. That's why we have a judicial system in the first place.  Ultimately it's down to the police, CPS and courts to decide if any laws were broken. But from a very selfish point of view, I hope they can get them on this harrassment charge, because they won't give in now, and nor should they, we all agree this behaviour is wrong. But I'd rather not see tighter restrictions on those who go about their hobbies, and using a camera in public, the right way.  You're right about the risk of somebody feeling pressured into saying yes, 100%. Whether that pressure is real / intended or not, it's still a risk. But better than the alternative, of not being asked at all.  For the record, I know you're not in any way condoning his / their actions. I picked that up a while back, I completely understand your point of view (or at least I think I do,) and generally I do agree with you, you're right. The laws are there, they are set, and a whole system is in place to uphold them. It's not our place, or the police's place, to go around interpreting the law however we / they see fit. But in cases like this, where it's something we've not really seen before, and where the general public are almost unanimously in agreement, that what is happening is fundamentally wrong, something absolutely has to be done. Whether that's charging them with an existing, loosely related, offence, (my preference here, for selfish reasons.) Or changing the law. 

Quick, try adding act names to the end of the lineup page URL in case anything comes up. 

In terms of female pop act comparisons...   Last year's first announcement had Jess Glynn, Holly Humberstone, Becky Hill and Arlo Parks.   This theoretical announcement has Nelly Furtado, Gabrielle, Mel C and Caity Baser.   It seems comparably female and comparably strong to me. If anything I'd say the higher names this year is reflective of a stronger female presence in terms of the slots the women are playing in.

I think that’s Wolf Alice btw

There's a thought. I do wonder now you've said it.  Was weirdly almost part of popular culture years ago, like a comedy trope. Would imagine d*ck picks have mostly replaced actual flashing.
