Labour miss the point

I share the view of the Electoral Reform society that Labour's announced changes to the postal vote regulations are "too little too late".

It would be possible to structure a system where postal ballots are distributed by post, but (for people able to walk) cast in a mixture of advance polling stations at useful locations then collated and returned by election day.

Alternatively we could just take the Northern Irish option. Labour are ignoring the issue of intimidation and "undue influence". I wonder why?

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.
