November Election - Automated Calls

Labour, it appears, have started doing automated phone calls. This, where a computer phones people, is of dubious legality. It shows they are preparing for a November Election.

At the same time we have the complications that people may not actually be registered to vote even though they have recently filled in the electoral registration form.

Then again the situation is better than it used to be for autumn elections where there weren't rolling registers. That means that people would have to vote where they were previously.

All in all I would not expect the AEA's concerns to have any effect on Labour's decisionmaking.

I recently completed an electoral registration (basically a "Nothing's changed"), how can I check that it went through and I'm not disenfranchised? I'd hate to not be able to vote, I've voted in every election since I was 18 bar one (I was away at university and Solihull MBC 'lost' my application for postal voting).

The people who will have a problem are those who have moved. I think you are still living in Greet. Hence you will have the old original vote. The new form will not have any affect until much later.

The problem is for people who recently moved and filled in this form. They will think they have a vote from the form, but don't.

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.
