The second coalition agreement has now been published. I have it in a PDF form and it would be messy to simply copy the text into the weblog hence I am not publishing it here.
It is here.
It is here.
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.

I am deeply dissapointed though to know there's nothing contained within the agreement about the much needed overhaul of the Children's Services Dept, suppose we will have to wait another five years for someone to realise that the policies of the old Labour government simply do not work but cost the tax payer millions of wasted pounds a year.
Ideal time to take action but sadly this oppertunity has been missed.
