World Service

I spoke to some trainee journalists from the World Service on Friday Night. They have an interesting opportunity to learn about the varied cultures in the world at some depth.

The World Service is a very cost effective way of promoting a positive view of Britain about which so much damage has been done by the government in recent years.

With all the rows about Al Jazeera it is interesting to note how Al Jazeera has in some ways developed from the World Service.

To be fair, many of the journalists working on Al-Jazeera were originally employed by BBC World and work to similar standards, even now. It was only when the Beeb had to pull out of the Gulf Region for political reasons that they were let go.

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.
