Ted Jeory and Christopher Bookers' articles today

This comment piece by Ted Jeory compares the cover up in Hillsborough to the day to day cover ups in the family courts.

This article by Christopher Booker looks at how a foreign country is concerned about what happens in the English and Welsh Family Courts.

We should really be able to sort these things out on the basis of complaints raised by victims of the system in the UK. However, if it really takes getting a coalition of countries together to demand change in the UK then so be it.

Booker has recently been attacking a local authority for intervening in a case where a child was, inter alia, injected with morphine by its parents. Would you not concede at least that this is taking the anti social worker crusade a little too far?

I think I know about the case. The case is one where there are lots of allegations on different sides and I accept a criminal conviction. I am myself unsure as to the truth in respect of this case. Criminal Convictions are not necessarily 100% reliable. However, on the principle I do think were it to be true that parents have injected a child with morphine then intervention is valid.

Keep up the good work. As a British citizen I am appalled and embarrassed at this miss-carriage of justice. I wish our own government would take these issues as seriously as the Slovaks do. Those responsible for the complete disruption to the lives of those children and their parents must be held accountable for their actions. Let's hope sanity prevails at tomorrow's appeal ruling. Thanks for being the only MP to speak out against these ridiculous failings and over-reactions.

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.
