Energy Security Debate

Today I took a few moments out from my frenzied Leadership Election Campaign to speak in the Energy Security Debate.

The problem was that too many people wanted to speak. With Front Benchers taking about 75 mins for starting and the about 30-45 mins to sum up there is little space for others.

I, therefore, tried to get my key point for gas (which is that there is no incentive to import into storage on warmer days) on an intervention.

I tried intervening on a tory asking about Nuclear Energy Imports. He got a bit confused and waffled on about the electricity interconnector. I don't think he knows that we don't have uranium mines in the UK.

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.
