Warning - don't cycle your (tebbit) bike too far

One interesting case at today's advice bureau was where someone had gone to work in Bulgaria for just over 3 months. On return they are deemed to be "Not Habitually Resident" in the UK and as such cannot get benefits.

Perhaps this is a mechanism used by Tony Blair to increase emigration.

This should, however, be an easy case to sort.

Another interesting case was a group of Brummies who were deported from Israel. Superficially it appears the main reason was that one of them had visited Pakistan.

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.
