Labour call for cover-up

Councillor Hugh Maccallion, Deputy Leader of the Labour Group, has strongly criticised the previous blog post.

He says his criticism is based upon me reporting information about a Named Officer.

Anyone reading the blog should note that I do not name anyone in a negative sense. The only people I name are those doing their job properly.

Clearly Labour wanted the whole thing to be hushed up. I am surprised because in this instance it looks like a mistake followed by an attempt at a cover-up. The mistake is not acceptable as it disenfranchises about 1,000 people, but the attempt at a cover-up is far worse.

(BTW for those who don't know their history (aka it seems to include Bob Piper)
"Deep Throat" was the name of the source for the information for Watergate.)

John, of course I know about Woodward and Bernstein, but that won't stop me taking the pee.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
