Mass Application to European Court of Human Rights

Following discussions with a number of victims of the system of Public Family Law in the UK the suggestion has been put forward that there should be a mass application to the European Court of Human Rights.

This would apply under a number of Articles including:
ARTICLE 3 PROHIBITION OF TORTURE
The maltreatment of pregnant women and women who have just given birth
ARTICLE 4 PROHIBITION OF SLAVERY AND FORCED LABOUR
Forcing women to give birth and give their baby to the state
ARTICLE 5 RIGHT TO LIBERTY AND SECURITY
False imprisonment by social services under threat of removing a child
ARTICLE 6 RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL
The whole system fails to operate legally
ARTICLE 7 NO PUNISHMENT WITHOUT LAW
Being punished with the removal of children for "offences" such as not going to fat club
ARTICLE 8 RIGHT TO RESPECT FOR PRIVATE AND FAMILY LIFE
There is little respect for family life
ARTICLE 9 FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, CONSCIENCE AND RELIGION
Such issues as home education coming in to family proceedings
ARTICLE 10 FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Criticism of mothers for talking to others about their cases
ARTICLE 11 FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION
Similar problems where people are criticised for being involved in groups opposed to forced adoption
ARTICLE 12 RIGHT TO MARRY
The system fully challenges this

The legal process for this has to be one where initially people apply for judicial review in the UK for a declaration that the UK legal system is in contravention of the 1998 Human Rights Act. If this fails, then the case would be taken to the European Court of Human Rights.

My office will be collating people who are interested in participating in a mass legal challenge to UK Public Family Law. Not every case will raise each of the above points, but many will. If you know anyone who wishes to take part in this mass challenge to the system please get them to write to me.

Service launched to reduce the pain of calling a call centre.

Click here to try the beta test call entre phoning service"John Hemming, who has created an internet Startup called Cirrostratus since he ceased being an MP, is launching a free online service to make life easier for people phoning call centres.   The service is provided by Cirrostratus, but the SIP backbone is provided by the multi-award winning business VoIP solution, Soho66." John said, "Many people find phoning call centres a real pain.  Our service is aiming to make things a lot easier.   One click on alink or the bookmarks list and our server will phone up the call centre and get through all the menus.  This is a lot faster than when people have to phone up and is less irritating." "Additionally the system uses WebRtc and the internet to make the call. This means that people don't find their normal phone system being blocked whilst they hang on the line waiting to speak to a human being." Marketing Manager from Soho66, David McManus, said: &q…

A grassroots uprising against terrorism

Original Date 26th May 2017

One thing I used to do when I was the Member of Parliament for Yardley was to call together meetings of all of the religious organisations in Yardley as a Yardley multi-faith group.  In many ways it is the creation of informal links between people that makes communication easier even if there is no formal decision making power.

Obviously this is something I would intend to do again if the people of Yardley ask me to take on the responsibility of representing them in parliament.

It highlights the sort of thing that politicians can do which arises from a leadership role within communities rather than any constitutional position.

I have already written in an earlier blog post about the principles of resolving conflict.  It can be summarised as "murdering innocents is wrong".

A number of local mosques have issued statements following the atrocity in Manchester and I think it is worth quoting from parts of them.

One said that the mosque "Unequivoc…

Lib Dems would give the West Midlands police force an extra £16,220,000 a year

Liberal Democrats have announced they would boost investment in police forces by £300m a year. This is in stark contrast to the Conservatives who have overseen devastating cuts to community policing. Theresa May as Home Secretary and now Prime Minister has cut policing budgets by over £2bn, eroding the very fabric of community policing.

Under the Liberal Democrats the West Midlands would see a funding increase of £16,220,000 a year. This could be used to restore a visible policing presence in the community and ensure the police have the training and tools to deal with the changing nature of crime.

Liberal Democrat John Hemming commented:“This investment in our police is absolutely vital. Under Theresa May – first as Home Secretary and now as Prime Minister, our police have had to deal with severe cuts. These are now cutting into the bone.“Our police work tirelessly to keep us safe and this Government has completely betrayed them.“Only the Liberal Democrats have a credible pl…
