There ought to be a ban on it. How many times have you heard someone say that in reaction to whatever outrage is hogging the headlines on any given day? There are ten times out of ten, and there is already a law against it. However, this won't deter knee-jerk politicians from passing even more legislation. This week, Home Secretary James Cleverly will announce new laws to prevent protesters from blocking the streets and climbing on war memorials.

Despite this explanation, Tory MP Neil O'Brien, who wrote, "Pathetic from the Met," challenged this belief.

When Pink Floyd actor David Gilmour and his partner, author Polly Samson, put their stunning seafront home on the market last year, they predicted there would be a line of prospective buyers for the former ladies' bath house. I'm here to inform you that Wish You Were Here, the singer and guitarist, 77, who band's hits include Wish You Were Here, has been forced to reduce the asking price by a stunning £5 million. It's expected to be the biggest price cut in Britain since house values started dropping a year ago. However, the property in Hove, East Sussex, would not be cheap, as the new asking price is £10 million.

EXCLUSIVE: Dave Gilmour and his partner Polly Sampson purchased the Medina House in Hove in 2015, shortly after demolishing the former Victorian bath house before redeveloping it as a five-bed house.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL:EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: David Gilmour, who joined Pink Floyd a few months before Syd Barrett's departure, has expressed regret that he did not do more to help the struggling genius.

EXCLUSIVE: The Duke of Sussex spoke with Dr. Gabor Maté, a controversial trauma specialist, for 90 minutes that culminated in him painting a realistic and vivid picture of the pain he continues to suffer as a result of his mother's death at the age of 12. However, the discussion was much more subtle than his memoir Spare, which some saw as full of insults against other royals, such as King Charles and Brother Prince William. Richard Fitzwilliams noted that the Duke of Sussex's stance on him not being a "victim" did not align with his latest memoir and Netflix series, and that he did not include personal attacks on him or certain members of his family, such as Prince of Wales. Mr Fitzwilliams wrote: "I think there will be a lot of relief and thanks" despite what the remainder of the royals may have made of the interview.

TOM LEONARD: Today Prince Harry will be joined by Canadian Holocaust survivor Gabor Mate for a conversation on "the importance of personal healing" that is livestreamed for paying clients.

Nothing says Rock and Roll like sex, drugs and decade long feuds and backstabbing's over music royalties and Twitter account access does it? Audiences have been treated to a smorgasbord of musical excellence from companies like Oasis and Fleetwood Mac over the years, but it has not always been the story behind the scenes drama that has captured our interest. We're naturally attracted to the chaos that surrounds some of music's most gifted performers, whether it's meltdowns online, pithy open letters to former bandmates, or just good old fashioned heavy rocking violence. With that in mind, MailOnline has taken a deep dive into five popular feuds from Rock and Roll history.

As the years go by, the two Pink Floyd powerhouses become more vocal about each other, much to the annoyance of millions of fans who still have aspired for a final show or new music by one of Britain's greatest ever bands. Waters has re-recorded the band's seminal album The Dark Side Of The Moon, without the rest of Pink Floyd, claiming that the 1973 album was his creation all along and he wrote it all. Nonetheless, Gilmour's surviving bandmate Nick Mason's continuing shaming of him, experts agree that re-releasing the royalties does not imply he will reveal the royal connections - or face a High Court lawsuit, which is familiar territory for the conflict group. During a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday, Waters' pro-Russian stance saw him make a dramatic appearance - notably with his dog - where he 'condemned' the invasion of Ukraine but then attacked the 'pros', who also condemned the Russian invasion. He says the besieged nation isn't really a country at all, and that it should be dismissed as a "patchy sort of vague experiment." Since the latter attacked Waters on social media and accused him of antisemitism, the 79-year-old has traded barbs with former bandmate David Gilmour and even the guitarist's wife, lyricist Polly Samson, who denies it. However, the rivalry goes back decades, right back to when guitarist Gilmour first joined Pink Floyd in 1968, a few weeks after enigmatic lead singer Syd Barrett was booted out due to his poor mental stability and profuse use of psychedelic drugs. The partnership brought even more success to the band and multi-million dollars to its members, but it would also bring an unprecedented rivalry between Waters and Gilmour over who was the driving force.

After guitarist David Gilmour's assertion that singer Roger Waters was 'anti-Semitic' and a Putin apologist, a rift between Pink Floyd players shows no signs of ending. Polly Samson, 60, made a series of other unsubstantiated assertions about the legendary singer, many of whom Waters, 79, denounced as "wildly inaccurate" and "incendiary" in reaction to an article published about Israel. Gilmour, the former Waters' former bandmate, has since endorsed his wife's allegations on social media, saying, 'Every word is demonstrably true.'

Pink Floyd is promoting the unveiling of its Animals remix album by lighting up the Battersea Power Station, which served as the backdrop for the album's cover in 1977. In the late 1970s at Britannia Row Studios in London, Pink Floyd self-produced their Animals album. The cover of the journal featured a now-famous snapshot of Battersea Power Station with a pink pig flying in the sky above it. Animals, the legendary English rock band, first appeared on the hit album earlier this month (2018 Remix). The album's cover includes a new photograph of the power station and the iconic flying pig. To promote the album's debut, the band held a light show at the station this week, projecting the album's original artwork. However, the parade did not include an inflatable pig, much to fans' dismay.

David Gilmour, 76, and his partner Penny Samson (right, inset), 60, bought the derelict £2.5 million Turkish bathhouse in 2015 and began to rebuild the building in a turbulent fashion. Despite residents' complaints that the Grade-II listed building was unsafe and disrespectful, they shut down the baths in 2018 after surveyors said that it was beyond repair due to various fires, despite residents' claims that it was beyond repair. Due to Covid building delays, the Hove seafront's massive (top inset, one of the 15-bedrooms) house on the Hove seafront was only completed a few years ago, allowing the couple to move into their house in 2021. But 18 months later, the rock star, who lives on a farm near Horsham, has already decided to sell the 8,000-square-foot Medina House. A cottage, a dog's shower room, a recording studio, a courtyard (on right and bottom inset), a Victorian terrace, an elegant first floor drawing room (left) and stunning sea views are among the many highlights in this new series.
