Nomination goes in

I am the sort of person who believes in getting nominations in on the first possible date rather than the latest possible date.

Nominations opened at 10am today. I arranged for an appointment at 11am and my nomination was accepted at about 11.15am.

The party's campaign seems to be going quite well. Labour are criticising our proposals to increase the tax threshold to 10K.

Their argument is that it does not benefit everyone on a low income. However, I think it is important to make sure that people are better off if they work than if they don't work.

The current system makes life quite difficult for people on lower earned incomes who struggle to make ends meet. For them £700 a year is a lot of money.

It is also in society's interest for fewer people to be on the dole and to encourage people to be thrifty.

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.
