The link is to a pair of articles in The Times about whether or not more children should be taken into care.
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.

Harrow,harringhey, and tower hamlets (totalling £14 million) to name but a few have all given money to Coram for "family services", Check out this link to a Family Justice council meeting last year there you'll find Paul from Harrow on there, he was one of the Governors of coram last year.
I will have to stop now before I say what I really want to about Coram, it is not in my nature to sware on here but blimey I'm finding it hard not to.
As John knows the system too well and he like me know that there are many countless families like myself who are suffering at the hands of the child protection system, I might loose my children because two reasons 1 of what I do in supporting people and the other because I was PLAYING with my boys one night, failed criminal conviction to boot as well.
Local Authorities do not know when to give in on some of these family cases, they dig themselves so deep that the L.A will use any tactic possible to silence the parents (including threats of Jail) and beat the parents down. when this happens god help the poor parents who have to fight against a system and local authority with a bottomless pit of money, rights to a fair trial yeah pull the other one.
I'll stop now but I could go on about this all night long!
