There is still no prosecution over the G20 murder of Tomlinson, quelle surprise. Hardwick of the I.P.C.C fails to see that his organisation is at best an irrelevance, at worst collaborational. Entirely without teeth and comprised mainly of ex-police personnel it can never deliver an impartial verdict. In addition to some action on Tomlinson I am ( Read more... )

God repays but not with money (remix). For my foreign readers some background information. A (former) high ranking police chief has been sentenced to two years in jail. Is this in preparation for Sgt Delroy Smellie being exonerated? Were the knives well and truly out for Ali Dizaei? It is a win-win situation, the police (ever vindictive) have had ( Read more... )

The excellent Monbiot on The Grauniad is launching an attempt to arrest Tony Blair for war crimes, I hope he succeeds. The website is http://www.arrestblair.org so for my first blog today I wish to concentrate on this issue. The thing with Blair and his ilk is that they introduced a new law ( Read more... )

Taking photographic images to use in terrorist (freedom fighters until Blair thought otherwise) outrages. ( Read more... )

Sal'aam. Islam and human rights. There is nothing in the Qu'ran that is contrary to true human rights. Regimes may appear in Arab states or elsewhere that do not uphold human rights but that is modern politics not the message of Islam. Today is International Human Rights Day, when groups such as "Amnesty International" celebrate victories over ( Read more... )

An unwritten constitution will get one as far as an unprinted five pound note. The theme "A broken constitution?" is being mooted by Centreforum yet "some" see this as risible. With figures such as Baroness Helena Kennedy involved along with Lord Carlile it seems most of the progressive cognoscenti of the legal world disagree with the Blair Fan ( Read more... )

"Diaries of despair" is a tenebrous document. "X536F weak, vomiting" and "X528F lying on floor". Wild caught primates do not have much of an existence while being experimented upon. On Tuesday, 31st March the European Parliament will meet to vote upon issues impinging on animal rights. Neil Parish has proposed watering down safeguards. There should ( Read more... )
