Incidents in London

I was in the press gallery when the incidents initially described as a power surge started being reported. Sadly it does appear to have been some form of terror incident probably linked to the commencement of G8 (much more likely than something linked to the Olympics).

Terror incidents are always particularly sad as they generally increase anger in the world and it is very difficult to take steps back after incidents.

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.
