Russia today on adoption in the UK

This links to a radio programme (in English) about forced adoption. Note the story recently in polish express.

I am not commenting on Friday's events as yet beyond what I said in The House. I had been assured by people that the government would allow the bill to pass, but this did not happen.

The bill seems quite reasonable although I'm not too keen on the grandparents' bit. Where can I find your commments in the House?
Thanks.

The bill was more than reasonable and covered a lot of issues that would make for a better family justice system.
There were a few comments made in the house that questioned parts of the bill and questioned whether making things more complex would hinder matters. I don't think those in the house quite understood that you are not seeking to make things more complex, rather more transparent.
Please do not give up on your draft bill John, it is sorely needed to help address issues in the UK Family Justice System ...

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.
