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.

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.
