NHS privatisation tender moves up the agenda

The NHS privatisation tender reported here and on 24dash has now been reported by PA as you can see also on 24dash

24dash is an interesting media organisation as it is a pure internet media organisation without any dead tree editions.

I found they did quite well at reporting the job cuts in hospitals first. The reality of such an organisation is that the stories are continually published and there is no need to deliver a physical object to the reader.

This will challenge the print media as well. To some extent organisations such as The Times publish on the net during the day. Others, however, hold back a bit.

There is some tension in media circles about the BBC using licence fee payer revenue to establish a dominant online position. I do understand that concern.

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.
