Children sent from England to Jersey then lost

The link is to the story about HDLG in the News of the World. Extracting a bit from the article:
A SHOCK secret police report into the Jersey House of Hell children's home reveals youngsters there WERE murdered then BURNED in a furnace to COVER UP the atrocities.

Kids were shipped to the home from all over the UK and were never heard of again.


What concerns me is the lack of interest of the UK Government in trying to track down which children have been sent to Jersey. I have done an FOI request of all English Childrens Authorities. However, they have mainly only done a cursory glance at the situation.

In Birmingham I arranged for the Internal Audit Department to track payments to Jersey and from that identify the children sent there.

The government's hopeless response is that you need a court order to send a child to Jersey. They should be instructing Childrens Services Authorities to perform a thorough study. Too many children are "lost" by Childrens Services.

In the mean time we need to stop the culture of coverup in Jersey and in England. Working with Stuart Syvret I have now identified precisely the constitutional relationship between the UK and Jersey and know which three Labour Ministers form the committee that has to act to stop the cover up.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
