The rule of law in Perry Barr

There do appear to be some problems relating to an alleged criminal offence developing in Perry Barr at the moment. We had similar difficulties about 2 years ago. What is critical is that people accept that they need to use the rule of law to resolve such problems rather than merely force of numbers or political pressure.

The first step has to be for witnesses to report the allegation to the police.

I am referring to a criminal offence. Not to a matter of political decisionmaking. The law should be the law and should be handled through legal processes.

That does not prevent people demonstrating about laws they think are wrong, but where there is an alleged crime then the allegations need to be made properly by witnesses rather than shops being closed through threats of violence.

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.
