Lord
McAlpine V Sally Bercow -
The
problem with allegations, especially sexual allegations, is that
once a mistake is made, everyone and their dog believe that it's
okay to put the boot in. This case (or series of cases) may make
those jumping on any band-wagon that is going, sit up and think
twice. |
The
statistics for false allegations is quite a surprise, a fact
that juries should be made aware of when trying to decide to
convict a man - where there is no direct evidence to link a
person to a claim. It should be eye witness or DNA proof that
is required (beyond reasonable doubt) - rather than circumstantial evidence - which can be
manipulated by a man or woman with a grudge. The most common of
which is being jilted.

BURMA
- Aung
San Suu Kyi is now free and making a difference in her homeland,
thanks to support from the nations that care about Human Rights.
Winner of a deserved Nobel Peace Prize.

CASH
for QUESTIONS - Not
again? Yes, we're afraid so. From the latest reports it seems that there is always a
minister prepared to use his position of trust for personal
gain. A joint investigation by The Telegraph and the BBC Panorama programme has exposed how an MP and peer were prepared to lobby Parliament in exchange for payments. The affair carried echoes of the scandal which dogged John Major’s administration in the Nineties. Under the proposed new laws, it is expected that only lobbyists who agree to regulations and sign up to a new register will be allowed to “lobby” politicians.

The
are many new challenges facing us as we head into a fast food, junk
mail, super heated world with super heated economies and warring
factions (at different levels of hostility) in many countries. And it
will get worse as the world population increases - until finally the
planet can take no more. Then there will be famine on a global scale,
cannibalism and world war III. Let us hope it never comes to that. It's
bad enough that we are still suffering from the after effects of
Thatcherism (greengrocer politics). |

Political analyst Michael Barone
predicted in 2008 “The Coming Liberal Thugocracy,” referring to then Senator Obama’s call for his supporters “to get in their face” when confronting Republicans and Independents. Barone argued
that “Obama supporters who found the campuses congenial and Mr. Obama himself, who has chosen to live all his adult life in university communities, seem to find it entirely natural to suppress speech they don’t like and seem utterly oblivious to claims this violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment.”
Barone’s predictions have been proved correct. This is brutish, imperial-style presidency that is highly intolerant of dissent,
going out of its way to target political opponents. It is ironic that one of the journalists threatened by the Obama White House in recent months has been Bob Woodward, one of two Washington Post reporters who originally broke the Watergate scandal, and who was immortalised in the 1976 Oscar winner All The President’s
Men (played by Robert Redford). Woodward was warned back in February by White House economic adviser Gene Sperling that he would “regret” remarks he made on the sequester issue. Other writers, including Bill Clinton’s former special counsel Lanny Davis, have faced similar
threats.

PRIME MINISTER Will
David Cameron tackle accountability for the ordinary taxpayer.
Will he give every citizen an equal
opportunity in dealings with their local Council
and the Police?
Fat chance. More likely he'll add another layer of gray.
JULIAN
ASSANGE - If
you go about revealing all about politicians and their sneaky
tactics, you are bound to find yourself accused of something unsavory.
Wikileaks! Nice one Julian. Freedom of speech and transparency
in office. If they abided by those principles for real, the
world would be a safer place.

EDUCATION
- LAW
REFORM
Increasingly
girls invent stories, to Blackmail, to hurt
someone, attract attention or for revenge. Almost all such allegations attract
significant media
hype which destroys the lives of those accused, regardless of
innocence and harms the right to a fair trial during any
appeal, including to the European Court of Human
Rights - Such allegations now include Jimmy
Tarbuck, Rolf
Harris, Jim
Davidson and Freddie
Starr. Come on!
|

|
|
|
. |
| |
|
Where
they removed the right of those accused to a fair
trial, surely now it is time for reforms to the law to protect the public
against false allegations. Too many lives are
being ruined by publication and wrongful conviction, as the
number of appeal cases reveal. Lord
Goldsmith QC missed out on the opportunity for reform.
Who's next?

CONSERVATION
v PLANNING - For
30
years Nelson
Kruschandl has struggled to prove a building in Herstmonceux
was of historic interest and should be preserved. While the
battle raged in closed corridors, he did not make many friends
with the powers that be, some of whom plotted to stop him
asking awkward questions and some of which simply will not
reply to correspondence in person, such as Mr
Pickles. There is though a duty to protect historic
buildings - and by turning a blind eye to council corruption,
that potentially makes any person holding office complicit in
a cover up, or potentially vicariously liable and subject to
investigation for misfeasance in public office. The buck
passing has got to stop/

Some 20
years into the fray English
Heritage and the County Archaeologist in Lewes, Sussex, came to the
rescue. Read more of this using the links above, and please
note this issue is now the subject of considerable concern
where Wealden District Council are in breach of an Agreement
to recognise the building. (picture of timber building
below) |
For the avoidance of doubt, to knowingly
leave a historic
building without a beneficial use is more than simple
misfeasance in public office - it is criminal behaviour. The
analogy of which is seen in the Chris
Huhne case: Trying to avoid a speeding fine turns a
relatively minor offence into an imprisonable crime. If
they want to lock Nelson up for voicing his
concerns, he says, go ahead - he'll turn the other cheek. HST |

NOTE
- The founder of this site is unable to represent himself due
to restrictions that prevent him from identifying those
involved in his case. This limitation paints a distorted
picture of the facts on which the press capitalized to sensationalize
the story to sell
papers. We would not want to jeopardise his
position or his appeal, but will publish what we can at the
appropriate time. Discussion groups are not a million miles
away with their questioning of this conviction. Thank you for
your support and for dissecting logically,
the illogical. HST

AFFORDABLE
HOUSING - Bringing
down the cost of housing for first time buyers, will
relieve social problems, such a debt, where mortgages
are simply too high for first time buyers. Artificial property values
are kept high by town planners
on the take and governments
pandering to landowners and landlords.
THE
ECONOMY v DEBT - If
you've ever fancied building yourself a dream house, or doing
a conversion, and your council
(or neighbours) start to give you a hard time, then this site
may be useful to you. We reveal tricks council officers
use when enforcing as a result of neighbour complaints
and the Old Boys Act.

Mandela and South African President
F.W. de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to dismantle the country's apartheid system. In 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's first black president. In 2009, Mandela's birthday (July 18) was declared Mandela Day to promote global peace and celebrate the South African leader's legacy.
We wish Mr Mandela a speedy recpvery.

Finally,
planning law is evolving to encompass sustainability.
You
must be joking. That is what
Parliament intends, but you can rest assured that corrupt local
authorities will go kicking and screaming to appeal after appeal trying
to preserve their rich hunting grounds for favoured developers.
Planning departments don't want affordable housing. They
will not provide the rolling stock of land to keep prices down - on the
contrary, they will continue just as they have been to keep those brown
envelopes rolling in. Show us otherwise. There is the gauntlet, pick it
up! If you do not, your silence says it all. |

|
To
preserve the rich pickings for those in positions of trust -
and guess what? They probably have masonic
connections. Do officers have to declare these. not on your
life - only the members. The officers are still immune.
They'll do everything to keep it that way - to include not
posting information about who does what in their council. Show
me otherwise?
Record all key conversations with suspect officers. Write to
the members, not the officers and share your findings on the internet. |

Herstmonceux
Museum - a building at risk! An important historic building is
deteriorating rapidly because Wealden District Council are
more interested in placating neighbours as to who occupies it.
We thought that eugenics
died out when the allies took Berlin in 1945. It appears not;
discrimination by council officials is rife in England.
