It would be nice to be asked

I was very busy yesterday (hence no blog entry). Meetings in Birmingham (and I put a lot of effort into avoiding inefficient meetings) took a lot of time. I then spent the whole of the afternoon in a meeting of the parliamentary party followed by another couple of events. This left little time.

I then find in the newspaper today that one of our policies is about to changed. Well, if would be nice to be asked about it before it is announced.

Perhaps the worst thing about it is that it would have been dropped even in the unlikely event of the Lib Dems winning the election or holding the balance of power. I seems to me that all three main parties are now competing for the Home Counties middle ground vote as the determining factor in a General Election. As Kinnock said, in the context of the Liverpool Militants, "You can have all the principles in the world, but without power they count for nothing." Of course, the flip side of that coin is, "You can have all the power in the world....etc."

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.
