#G179* - LORD GUTTER of LABOUR, PEERS AT THE GORBALS

#G179* - LORD GUTTER of LABOUR, PEERS AT THE GORBALS

The shame of Labour and the sleaze of Westminster seems to know no bounds with Her Majesty's present Government - whether encacerating innocent men as parts of deals with Libya & America we now have the farce of the deal being done to release the innocent scapegoat.

Why are we not surprised that the American Intel. operatives are stirring up false anger to keep their involvement in the 'hard landing' of Pan-Am 103 due to catastrophic failure over Lockerbie on 21-Dec-1988.

Then we have the farce of the odious Jack Straw, ex student leader in revolt rioter at Cambridge, Communist assett in Chile, puppet of the Communist Barbara Castle, who when Home Secretary stepped in to try to hide the fact that his brother Michael had been sexually abusing his own son who then, as a result of Jack's intervention then went on to assault his own daughter and also assault the daughter of family friends!

This one presumes is the same Jack Straw who deliberately lied to Colin Powell US Sec. State leading to lies being presented to The UN to ensure Tony Blair's ambitions war crimes and crimes against humanity were carried forward with the unlawfull invasion of Iraq with the loss of over a Million lives being his, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, John Prescott and all on the corrupt and dishonest Cabinet at the time.

Now we are to believe Jack Straw when he tells another pack of lies, we must assume based on his track record in relation to the repatriation of the last innocent victim of Pan-Am 103 Al Magrahi.

This man is also a part of the Government (HM's Government Front Bench and her Loyal Opposition) who in total contempt of the peoples and these United Kingdoms and what little is left, after so many years of betrayal by our Politicians, the values of our peoples in the latest insult to our peoples reported below:

The man who undeniably brought shame and contempt on Parliament, hugely enriched himself from the public purse, totally failed in his duty and charge and thus was the first and only Speaker of The House of Commons who so befouled the reputation of his job that he was fired.

Now we see that in complete contempt of values and the British peoples this sordid failure, incompetent and cheat is against the will of Parliament and the peoples he is to be rewarded with what used to be an honour - A Peerage! Bestowed in a shameful sttempt to avoid public or even political scrutiny whilst Parliament is in recess at the start of a Bank Holiday Weekend.

What disgusting people our Politicians are!

Lord Gorbals:

Michael Martin's controversial peerage confirmed in middle of Parliamentary recess

By Daniel Martin

28th August 2009

Lord Martin:
He is the first Speaker to be forced to quit in 300 years

The former Commons Speaker, Michael Martin, has had his controversial peerage quietly confirmed - in the middle of the Parliamentary recess.
He will take up the title of 'Baron Martin of Springburn, of Port Dundas in the City of Glasgow' after the honour was conferred by the Queen last week.

Mr Martin was the first Speaker of the House of Commons to be forced to resign in more than 300 years.

It is established practice for former speakers to be elevated to the Lords, but there had been calls for Mr Martin to be denied a peerage after his flawed response to the MPs' expenses scandal.

After losing the support of the House of Commons following repeated attempts to block the publication of MPs' full allowances, he resigned in May.

The announcement that he would soon be joining them on the Lords' red benches sparked anger among other peers last night.

Lord Oakeshott, a Liberal Democrat spokesman in the Lords, said: 'Mr Martin's period as Speaker diminished both the authority of the position and the credibility of the House of Commons. It is wrong that he should pick up a peerage automatically in the Lords after he failed as Speaker.'

Springburn was the name of Mr Martin's Glasgow North East constituency before boundary reorganisation in 2005, while Port Dundas is the site of a large whisky distillery in the city.

No by-election will be held in the constituency until the autumn. Lord Oakeshott said: 'He's chosen Springburn as his title but the people of Springburn deserve to have a representative in Parliament.

'This is a disgraceful delay and the people deserve a chance to elect a new MP now.'

The news was slipped out in the London Gazette this week. The publication, which reports Government and Palace announcements, said: 'The Queen has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 25 August 2009, to confer the dignity of a Barony of the United Kingdom for life upon the Right Honourable Michael John Martin, by the name, style and title of Baron Martin of Springburn, of Port Dundas in the City of Glasgow.'

The Queen's approval came despite a warning from sleaze watchdogs that elevating Mr Martin would damage the reputation of the House of Lords. In a letter to Gordon Brown, the House of Lords Appointments Commission said Mr Martin's personal expenses claims were open to question.

But Mr Brown, who uses his powers of patronage to recommend peers to the Queen, overrode their concerns.

As an ex-Speaker, 63-year-old Mr Martin is entitled to an annual pension of around £38,000. When his MP's pension kicks in at 65, the former sheet metal worker will be receiving around £80,000 from tax-payer-funded pension pots worth £1.4million.
As a peer he would also qualify for £174 for each night he spends in London on Lords' business, adding up to a possible £25,000 a year, and he may claim £3,000 in office costs.

Mr Martin announced in a 34-second statement on May 19 that he was stepping down as Speaker and also as an MP, sparking a by-election which could prove disastrous for the Labour Party. The Scottish Nationalist Party is hoping to snatch the once safe seat of Glasgow North East.

Mr Martin was replaced as Speaker by John Bercow in June.

Shame on Labour - Shame on Westminster - Shame on you and I.

Michael Martin - Gorbles Mick fired for his incompetence, failure of duty and self enrichment - Ignobled by the ignoble to sit in betrayal of the ignoble he joins.

Herein we have much to be ashamed of!

#G178* - WOLVES - GOOD & EVIL

#G178* - WOLVES - GOOD & EVIL

The Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

#G177* - DEFRA's DIZZYING ABUSE

#G177* - DEFRA's DIZZYING ABUSE

It would be funny if it wasn't true!

EU Idiocy & Jobsworths interfere in everything because they have no real job to do - They know better than most just what a failure The EU project is but they are so highly bribed they stay silent.

If you have your snout burried in the troughs of The Gravy Train and you are bought and paid for -

The house rules are -

'OMERTA'

Hi,

Clearly with his usual alacrity Christopher Booker hits the button with The EU's crass interferrence and its multi numbered diktats all drawn up by the over arching and ever burgeoning bureacracy of the central soviet of the supra national EU - with neither visible sense nor visible democracy!

There is one fact, not so much a detail, rather more of an elephant in the room which Christopher overlooks or more likely was denied the space, by The Sunday Telegraph, to address.

It is dealt with in one of my blogs on this site to which there are links after Christophers article below and that is the fact that it seems as if The British Government is failing to be honest to us their employers - their masters in the central bureaucracy in The EU which now not only does our MPs' job but surplants and has far greater authority in Britain than Westminster!

Britain has for many many years run domestic power on single phase 220 > 240 volt, yet they have agreed to obey their masters and supply 210 > 230 volt and now ALL available light bulbs are designed on the EU idiocy of one size fits all and the EU bulbs are supplied (including the mercury versions) to function on the lower voltage and the 140 volt surge gives EU standardised bulbs a very short life.

In passing Christopher seems not to have been given the space to explain that the new CFLs (a picture of some of its components is below) require MERCURY!

The tiny weenie British barometer business has been destroyed by the EU for its miniscule usage of safe (non vapourised Mercury). I understand that relative to the few 100lbs. used for barometers Osram & Mazda I understand will be using around 4 ton of mercury and rising, whilst to supply The EU China will use upto 40 tons of Mercury a year.

How ecologically sound did the Eu say these CFL bulbs were? I leave it to Christopher to keep us all informed!

DEFRA lacks power to ban our bulbs

How are shops supposed to decide whether a customer intends a 100W bulb for use in a 'household', wonders Christopher Booker.

By Christopher Booker

29 Aug 2009

Light fantastic: the CFL type of bulb can't be used in UK fittings
Photo: Getty

The continuing drama over the EU's drive to force us all to use only so-called "low energy" light bulbs, rather than the incandescent bulbs that many of us prefer, has brought to light a truly surreal legislative blunder. Last week, it was reported that, as from next Tuesday, the public will be expected to report to trading standards officers anyone guilty of selling "illegal' incandescent bulbs. I thought I would check with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether such an absurd thing could be true.

No, I was told, it will still be legal to sell existing stocks of 100 watt or frosted bulbs, but it will be a criminal offence to import them from outside the EU. When I asked the legal basis for this, I was directed to various laws, starting with the EU's 2005 Eco-Design of Energy-Using Products directive. When I asked how this had been put into British law, I was directed to a regulation of 2007 which turned out to concern the "eco-design" of fridges and boilers but said nothing about imported light bulbs.


I was also, however, pointed to a European Commission regulation (244/2009) of March this year, regarding "eco-design requirements for non-directional household lamps". Wading through a lot of bureaucratic gobbledegook about "non-directional" bulbs used for lighting domestic rooms ("a non-directional lamp", it helpfully explains, "is a lamp which is not directional"), at last I found the explanation for what Defra thinks it is up to – and its extraordinary blunder came to light.

This curious story goes back to the day in March 2007 when the EU's leaders, including Tony Blair, gathered in Brussels to approve a package of proposals designed to stop global warming. It was soon clear they hadn't the slightest idea how all their quixotic dreams could be put into effect, because these raised all sorts of practical problems which were left to hapless officials to resolve.

On the proposal to ban incandescent bulbs, for instance, it emerged that many light fittings could not take "low energy" compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). A report for Defra the previous year had found that this applied to more than half the fittings in UK homes. So the officials were left to work out how the ban on what were now dubbed "old-fashioned" bulbs could somehow be phased in over several years in a way that was both legal and workable in practice.

Initially they leant on Europe's own manufacturers to stop making incandescent bulbs "voluntarily", but this did not get around the problem of imported bulbs, for instance from China. So their solution, enshrined in regulation 244/2009, was that it should gradually be made illegal between now and 2016 for "non-directional" incandescent bulbs to be "placed on the market", because they do not comply with the EU's new "eco-design" standards. This is the regulation on which Defra bases its claim that, from Tuesday, it will be illegal to import 100 watt or frosted bulbs for sale, with all other "non-directional" incandescent bulbs due to follow between now and 2016.

But herein lies Defra's amazing error. The legislation it depends on to make this claim, regulation 244/2009, refers quite specifically to "household lamps". So the EU has not made it illegal to "place on the market" bulbs which are not intended for household use. Defra thus has no power to ban the import or sale of incandescent bulbs for use in shops, offices, factories, outhouses or anywhere which isn't a "household". And how are shops to decide, when asked for such bulbs, where a customer wishes to use them?

In other words, not for the first time, in its desire to bend over backwards to meet the wishes of the EU, our Government has made a total Horlicks of trying to understand the laws it is so eager to comply with.

Why should I be surprised that a Government spokesman fails to realise the change in CFL bulbs have changed little and still have some 50 parts dependent on the failure rate of the very worst part and intollerant of fluctuation in power supply. May I remind the Government spokesman that these bulbs are manufactured for the 220>230 volt power supply of the EU which gives them a notably greater failure rate on 220>240 supply in Britain!

#G176* - RSPCA CALLED TO ACCOUNT

#G176* - RSPCA called to account

This week we report through two important articles on the work of the RSPCA in recent years. Despite the commitment and good work throughout the country by the local branches (which are not funded by the national charity) the national charity focuses on public relations and prosecutions to the extent that are several specialist lawyers in the UK whose main case load is defending (usually successfully) those individuals and small businesses taken to court by the RSPCA.

There are occasional high profile cases where there has been good cause for concern and action but we have too much evidence of delay and procrastination when animal abuse is reported and that ‘easy option’ prosecutions are targeted by RSPCA inspectors.

One of those specialist lawyers to is Jonathan Rich, a barrister and animal welfare specialist who was interviewed recently by Robert Killick.

Life is of paramount importance!

OVER THE past twenty years Jonathan (‘Joe’) Rich has defended well over 200 people - mainly farmers, huntsmen, kennel owners and dog breeders. In 2007, he famously and successfully defended pet shop owner Simon Gilbert three times. Joe recently acted for Paul Shotton, Labour’s former deputy Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, and his wife Annette during their successful appeal. He is recognised as a leading consumer specialist by all the main legal directories.

RK: How do you think other people see you?

jr: As with most people, it probably depends who you ask. I’d like people to think that I try my best for clients, and with a smile - no matter how successfully they have been demonised by the time of the trial. You might be surprised to learn that I have a good professional relationship with several of the RSPCA’s lawyers. One of them even asked me for a reference recently, which I was very happy to provide - and wholeheartedly recommend them. On one occasion, after my client had been given a discharge, the inspector-in-charge shook me warmly by the hand, told me that everything she’s been told about me was not true and thanked me for sorting out all the problems in the case. After another, one of the RSPCA inspectors gave me a badge!

RK:Do you have a role model?

JR: My father - who I think I’ve actually come to respect even more since his death than I did before. He was a gentle soul from a Quaker family. In 1939 he volunteered for the Royal Engineers - my grandmother insisted he must not fight. Frontline Stevedore, a BBC documentary, featured him and his men being dive-bombed by Stukas as they unloaded Churchill tanks for the battle of El Alamein. My grandmother was very proud. I’d like to think we still live in the liberal democracy he fought for, but sometimes I’m not so sure.

RK:What’s the best advice you’ve ever given a client?

JR: ‘No one wins a fight, they just lose it to different extents’ - I’ve said this several times to clients as an aid to settlement, especially in mediations. It almost always works - you can sometimes even see the scales falling from their eyes. Settlement is a medium in which people can often do more for each other than a court could ever order, but the right settlement always needs to be fought for and won.

rk: What has been the most rewarding experience of your life so far?

JR: A bit of a clichE9, but unquestionably the two Sundays on which my two young daughters were born. You probably mean my professional life, though. If so, then it’s the third time that Simon Gilbert was acquitted - although Paul Shotton’s case was a real achievement. We had to deal with a lot of threats in both cases. Also, watching the BNP leaving the public gallery during the appeal hearing in Shotton, when they realised the RSPCA’s case was lost, gave all of us a great sense of satisfaction, though. The case was a terrible battle.

RK:You’re a Tory Councillor - did that make representing Paul Shotton interesting?

jr: I’ve done a lot of things for the Tories over the years, and I’m still a Conservative Councillor. It certainly didn’t get in the way with Paul. He did his homework and asked for me, which was nice. The fact that I’m a Tory was certainly a talking point, though. Paul is a man for whom, incidentally, I have an immense amount of respect. The BNP really put him through the mill and it was a feature of the case that might have been even bigger than it was. Paul is a man who deserves better than that.

RK:In the Shotton case, the RSPCA’s sensational allegation that his Labrador, Baron was emaciated and dehydrated and had been left outside to die obviously got the story into the papers. When did you realise that something was wrong and that the allegations were untrue?

JR:It’s not really my job to ‘realise’ or ‘know’ things, as such. Paul was always, and rightly it turned out, insistent that the allegations were untrue. It was my job to represent him in accordance with his instructions. The biggest obstacle was clear evidence from an experienced RSPCA vet who claimed he’d weighed Baron at 19kg. The Shottons’ own vet had weighed Baron at 30kg a few months before, so Baron seemed to have lost a lot of weight. We had to allege that the RSPCA vet was mistaken, but he gave all sorts of detail about how he’d personally weighed Baron standing on his own scales. Nigel Weller, my Solicitor, pressed the RSPCA for disclosure of the blood tests referred to in the RSPCA vet’s evidence. The RSPCA’s vet claimed it was the Shottons’ vets who lost them.

We eventually got the bloods from the RSPCA just before the first trial. They showed there was no dehydration or emaciation. On appeal, Nigel Weller had Dr Udo Hetzel, the top veterinary pathologist at Liverpool University, do a full post mortem. Incredibly embarrassing things for the RSPCA came to light - Baron’s carcass weighed 29.6kg and he’d not been fed for a day at the RSPCA vet’s surgery. Rather than drop the case, the RSPCA threats of applications for wasted costs were made if Dr Hetzel was called. You just can’t imagine the CPS doing that.

We did call Dr Hetzel. By the time he gave his evidence, the RSPCA’s vet had seen the way things were going and confessed that he had not weighed Baron at all. He claimed that he’d got the erroneous figure of 19kg from his veterinary nurse - we had to get all this from the vet, not from the RSPCA, though.

rk: That’s an amazing, but terrifying, story. Do you think the RSPCA should be allowed to prosecute as they see fit or should there be some control by the CPS as suggested by MPs like Roger Gale and Frank Field?

JR:There should. These cases are just two of many examples. The RSPCA spends the best part of A310,000,000 a year on its private prosecutions. This is money that is being diverted from what the people think that the RSPCA do. I don’t think the RSPCA will ever stop prosecuting people and hand their files to the CPS, like the Scottish SPCA has to, and does very successfully. It’s time to urgently amend the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and stop the RSPCA from prosecuting. That act stopped the police from prosecuting and made them to refer all their files to the CPS. Animal welfare charities should focus on animal welfare, not on prosecutions.

The disgust which I have heard expressed for the RSPCA as a result of what their prosecutions department is doing at the moment is terrifying. It can’t be good for the long-term health of the charity, or the value of its ‘Freedom Food’ brand.

rk: Disabled charities and pensioners’ groups are obviously up in arms about the RSPCA at the moment. Have members of the public really got anything to worry about?

JR: If you do keep animals, then common decency dictates that you must ensure they are properly looked after. If you do, then you’ll probably be okay, unless you are in a ‘high risk’ group. Putting these to one side, most problems with the RSPCA happen when people are too old, too sick or too inexperienced to look after animals properly. Disability Now did a huge piece last year on the impact of the RSPCA on pensioners and the disabled. Rachel Hurst and Anna Bird, who know a lot about the subject, contributed and said some very worrying things. RSPCA v Child C case was a terrifying prosecution, and I agree with the remarks the child’s barrister, Nick Tucker, made afterwards to the BBC’s File on 4.

The case that I did for Roberta Mitchell is a good example perhaps. She was raided by the RSPCA and the police while she was spending her time at her dying husband’s bedside. She was under terrible strain and I could never see the CPS prosecuting her. Pat Seager’s case was a disgrace. MPs like Frank Field and Roger Gale have done some very powerful points to the BBC and elsewhere. Many others have voiced similar concerns too.

RK:How many people have got to call for the RSPCA to stop prosecuting before something is done?

JR:Something quite important happened recently - Chris Laurence, Chief Veterinary Officer at the Dog’s Trust, joined the chorus calling for an independent inquiry. Chris used to do the same job at the RSPCA, and I think he knows a thing or two. The RSPCA is just too embedded in New Labour, though. As everyone knows New Labour took A31.1m off the Political Animal Lobby (PAL) to abolish hunting. PAL was chaired by Richard Ryder, one of the fathers of the animal rights movement. Ryder has been an RSPCA ruling Councillor for decades and he was also RSPCA Chairman. Although there is no direct evidence that this money came from the RSPCA there does not appear to be any other obvious source.

I do not think the present Government has the political will to protect vulnerable people from private prosecutors. The RSPCA is the darling of the Labour Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and they wouldn’t permit such a change either. Dianne Hayter, the Chair of Labour’s National Executive Committee is elected onto the NEC by Socialist societies like LAWS. The NEC is responsible for policy formulation and I just can’t see her permitting such a policy change. There is no shortage of people on all sides of the spectrum calling for it to happen. It would be a very popular move indeed - Long Bingham recently observed that private prosecutions are unknown in Scotland.

RK:Do you think that everyone who works for the RSPCA is an extremist?

JR :Absolutely not! The RSPCA’s problems stem from rigid dogma dictated from on high. It might be controversial for me to say this but I have always thought that the RSPCA’s foot-soldiers are generally pretty reasonable and decent people. Most of those that work at RSPCA Headquarters are pretty sensible too. When inspectors make mistakes, they are often young people thrown in at the deep end, trying to do a difficult job well. Many of them do not believe in animal rights.

The RSPCA certainly has had some extreme policies and its share of extremists. Its declaration in favour of animal rights was highly controversial, but it has had to formally drop that because it’s a political, not a charitable objective. Every organisation has its share of oddballs. The RSPCA is perhaps a natural place to work for people who want animals’ rights.

RK: You believe passionately in ‘animal welfare’, but speak and campaign against ‘animal rights’. What’s the difference?

JR: They are complete opposites. Animal welfare is a charitable objective - and what I, and the overwhelming majority of people, believe in. It’s about ensuring the wellbeing of animals, including those used to satisfy human needs. From companionship to sport, from food and clothing to medical research, animals must not experience unnecessary suffering and must have their basic needs - food, shelter and health - fulfilled.

Animal rights philosophy, on the other hand, rejects all animal use, no matter how humane. It’s a political objective, which the RSPCA recently had to formally drop for fear of losing its charitable status. Richard Ryder’s classic dictum, ‘all animals that feel pain deserve human rights,’ is a contradiction, but you can understand what he was trying to say. He invented the concept of ‘speciesism’ - the animal equivalent of racism. Animals are not property, so goes the theory, and must not be used for food, clothing, research or as pets.

RK:If the RSPCA believes in rights for animals, what do you think of reports that it kills so many healthy ones?

JR: The RSPCA is making it very hard for decent people to take rescue dogs from them at the moment. It also has a ‘euthanasia’ policy, based on the teachings of Richard Ryder and Peter Singer, who are leading lights within both the animal rights movement and the RSPCA. Ryder is a former RSPCA Chairman and remains a ruling Councillor. Peter Singer is Vice-President. The policy means that people who do not ‘euthanse’ animals that are in distress are putting themselves in danger of an RSPCA private prosecution, unless their vet supervises very closely. It also means that animals that stay in kennels too long get euthanased, as they become impossible to adopt after a time. I’ve never really understood how euthanasia was compatible with animal rights, but animal rights activists generally advocate euthanasia for all animals - humans included. For me, the sanctity of life is paramount.

RK: What about people with old dogs and cats?

JR: The Shotton case for me illustrates the fact that people with old dogs and cats are in a ‘high risk’ group. Having an animal which is old, or which has a long-standing illness, can be an expensive process; old animals can get ill very quickly. In a civilised society, there should be no need for hyper-vigilance, though. It is owners, not RSPCA Inspectors, who are just ordinary members of the public too, who should - subject to veterinary advice - decide whether animals live or die.

RK:You refer to RSPCA inspectors as ‘ordinary members of the public’. Do you think it is misleading for them to call themselves inspectors?

JR:Yes, I think it is quite misleading - especially when they wear police-style uniforms. There was a very interesting article in the Sunday Times about this issue a year or so ago. The RSPCA is, contrary to appearances, a private organisation. Some people are terrified of the RSPCA, and there is absolutely no need to be. No RSPCA employee, so far as I am aware, has any special powers or is even an inspector for the purposes of the Animal Welfare Act. Indeed, if they are, I want to know about it! The title ‘RSPCA Inspector’ is just a job title, given to an RSPCA employee working for the inspectorate department when they finish their twelve weeks of training.

The society gives some of its more senior employees even more impressive sounding titles: ‘Chief Superintendent’ and the like. However, they are all just job titles; it’s not like the police - RSPCA inspectors are not even constables. To think otherwise is a natural mistake to make. One problem which is regularly encountered is a police officer who thinks that the RSPCA is some sort of agency, or that its employees somehow have more powers than ordinary members of the public. If a police officer tells you, or behaves as if the RSPCA is an agency or has special powers, then that policeman needs to be corrected.

Paul and Annette Shotton were both arrested by the police at the request of the RSPCA. In fact, I’ve had several clients - perhaps the best known of them was Craig Sargent - who were arrested purely because of an RSPCA request that this occur. Paul was arrested while preparing to meet war veterans with his local MP; Annette was arrested at work. The RSPCA were waiting at the police station to interview them but it was not a police case.

RK:How should people behave towards employees of the RSPCA, then?

JR: If you treat all people with respect, including RSPCA personnel, then you won’t go far wrong. I tell people to treat them like a Police Community Support Officer. Bear in mind, though that PCSOs have some powers and that there is no proper complaints procedure for RSPCA employees. The RSPCA have to earn your respect and trust, too. They are not your friends, although they often claim to be ‘trying to help’. Do not sign anything they give you without legal advice. If you feel that you must sign something, then for goodness sake, read it first!

RK:You speak about people with old animals being in a ‘high risk’ group - are there any ‘high risk’ groups?

JR: Yes. In my view, kennels, catteries and farms which are not affiliated to the RSPCA or its Freedom Food scheme are at ‘high risk’. This is not an exhaustive list. If you are breeding or dealing in animals as a hobby or for a living then you are at risk - especially if the RSPCA is running a political campaign in the area. If you breed pets for sale, or run a pet shop, then you will almost certainly know what it is like to receive an ‘unannounced visit’ from the RSPCA.

RK:Talking about pet shops, did your experiences with Simon Gilbert focus your views?

JR:I have represented a number of pet shop owners in litigation involving the RSPCA - perhaps, as you say, most notably Simon Gilbert in three cases. Pet shops owners are generally responsible and decent people. Simon Gilbert is one of the most decent people that I have met. What the media did to him was disgraceful. They put the heading ‘Little Pet Shop of Horrors’ and a picture of Simon and his shop on the front page of the local newspaper. Simon had to move his family to Ireland on police advice in order to protect them from the consequent animal rights activities. He was acquitted of everything three times. Judge Andrew Collender QC was rightly very concerned about the way that the prosecution had been handled.

The Pet Shops Act 1951 sets out the desirability of, and regime for, properly run and licensed pet shops. We established that the RSPCA had been running a political campaign to change the law for some time. In a letter to all licensing authorities, which was disclosed in Simon’s case, the RSPCA explained that it was against pet shops and invited licensors to tighten up on the very high BVA standards. Making it hard for an otherwise profitable trade to operate lawfully generates more cash for unlawful and unethical operators.

As with drugs, people are willing to spend lots of money on the ‘right’ dog. However, if pet shop owners operate like Simon Gilbert did - keeping pets in superb conditions and ensuring the integrity of his suppliers - then I think that the battle against puppy farmers will be won. Sue Haslam, the top veterinary expert on welfare, described conditions in Simon’s shop as, ‘better than in most veterinary surgeries.’ Simon sadly gave up his shop after the third prosecution. That was a victory for no one - other than unethical puppy farmers.

RK:What should someone do when the RSPCA arrive uninvited?

JR :This is a classic question - as you might imagine, I am asked it a lot. There is, sadly, now no definitive answer to the ‘unannounced visit’. Although the RSPCA is a private organisation, the police and other agencies may well be present these days. If it’s a big raid, the press may be there too. Books have been written about what to do in this type of situation. The Animal Welfare Act 2006 gives the police and other agencies - but not the RSPCA, which is a private charity - additional powers of entry.

The most important thing is not to panic. Don’t be intimidated, don’t do anything stupid and don’t be drawn into any conversation. All of these could be misunderstood and written up later in a way that might make you look guilty. Do not under any circumstances agree to an ‘interview’ at the scene without a specialist animal welfare lawyer present. Do not sign or agree to anything, do not allow the RSPCA to take any animals away unless it is lawfully seized by someone with the power to do this (e.g. a policeman).

RK:What if it’s just the RSPCA - no police, DEFRA or trading standards?

JR: A little bit of preparation helps. If you’ve got an animal, then you will have identified a vet already, but it is worth getting the mobile number of a specialist animal lawyer, or failing that the Self Help Group*, just in case. The RSPCA can’t enter any property by themselves so, when they get there, I think that the best general response is to ask them why they are there, listen to the response and then simply ask them to wait outside your property for a moment. If they do, then speak to your lawyers, and your vets - follow the advice you are given by them.

Your vet will want to speak to the RSPCA to try to find out why they are there. Your lawyers will probably want to speak to the RSPCA on the telephone. It is likely, unless there is a genuinely urgent reason for the ‘unannounced visit’, that the lawyers will suggest that they should leave. Your vet will want to make sure that the reasons why the RSPCA say that they have attended is investigated quickly. This will protect you, should matters go further. Always remember that the RSPCA is a private organisation and, as such, has no powers at all. Its employees are ordinary members of the public, working for a private charity. Be blind to the police-style uniforms and manner.

Get on the phone to as many sensible friends of yours as you can and ask them to come over. If you have a video camera, then turn it on immediately and keep taping until the RSPCA have left. Start an organised event diary, taking note of names and numbers. From that point on, take careful notes of times and dates of visit and telephone calls. You must try to note what is said, especially if there is a danger of it not being properly taped. Photograph and video the animals concerned.

If your vet does not attend the scene immediately, you get the animals to your vet for a clean bill of health. The fact that you have a vet should prevent any animal from being seized. District Judge Browning was very unhappy indeed when the RSPCA seized Martin and Gina Griffin’s horse while their vet was present and protesting. I doubt whether that mistake will be made again for a bit.

RK:Is being an animal welfare lawyer as badly-paid as everyone says?

JR: The pay is appalling for the defence and it’s really tough and demanding work. The daily rate for appearing in court on Legal Aid is just £175 a day, even in the Crown Court. Out of that we have to pay all our expenses - travel, hotels, books, copying, clerks and chambers. Only four or five specialist welfare barristers still do any defence work now. However, if you are still in chambers and prosecuting for the CPS, it’s not much better, though.

This is not the case for prosecutors. I understand from one of my Solicitors that in a recent case the prosecuting barrister is on £5,500 a day. I did a case myself recently where a junior barrister was on £3,500 a day. That was twenty times as much as I was on.

The Australian experience shows that this may not last, however. The sort of money that the RSPCA in Australia pays its barristers and vets was exposed in Ruth Downey’s case last month. The fees there were mind-numbing - and the expenses paid included the charter of a private plane! The court was, rightly, furious. MPs over there are on the case.

#G175* - Ted KENNEDY GOES TO MEET HIS MAKERS

#G175* - Ted KENNEDY GOES TO MEET HIS MAKERS

LET US REMEMBER THE YOUNG WOMAN EDWARD KENNEDY KILLED
AND ALSO REMEMBER
HOW IN THE TRUE STYLE OF PRIVILEGE
HIS FAMILY BOUGHT HIS REPRIEVE!

Then perhaps we should wonder howmany innocent lives his support of The IRA cost .
Not to mention remembering his Father's example as a serial & blatant womaniser who perpetually demeaned his wife in public, whilst pretending to Catholic values. An outspoken supporter of The IRA and before that The Nazis.

Let us not forget the outspoken twaddle from Ted Kennedy in his anti British rant only a day or so ago as he tried to cover the tracks of American intel. by placing yet more unwarranted blame on Al Magrahi. It was America's crass bombing of Libya and the murder of civilians that created the animus between Libya & The West when it was well known the bomb in the US service club in Germany was a rogue Syrian event.

Edward Kennedy the size of whose ego was only surpassed by the indulgence that led to the size of his belly - a man who put himself before all else, and his glory high in the dominance of his party, which he put far ahead of his Country, which seemingly he merely considered a vehicle for his arrogance as he frequently negotiated with his Country's enemies for his or his party's gain.

In his one run for President he was rightly defeated in the primaries by the better man.

It is hard to discern with the two brothers shot and Teddy's ambitions trashed by his drunken womanising, that led to the tragic death of Mary Jo and subsequently the drunken haze which was the life of his wife, it was hard to know if it was The Kennedy Dynasty that was cursed or America.

To have had a President, however charming the gloss, whose deals with the Mafia bought by old Jo gained office for him and his brother and then to become embroilled in trash affairs with starlets and with the murder of Marilyn Munroe speaks volumes of their calibre.

Yes I remember Cuba and his brinkmanship with all our lives was no mitigation for who was it had led Nikita Kreuschev to believe he could place missiles in Cuba?

MANY AMERICANS SEEM NOT TO REVERE THIS
TARNISHED NIGHT of CAMELOT
for NO KNIGHT WAS HE!

Was it not Edward Kennedy who assisted and covered for one of the Kennedy cousins when he raped a young girl? No doubt the rapist will be feted by the great and the good at Arlington when he joins his brothers.

You can also remember that every liberal bill that has passed since the dems have been in the majority, he either authored, co-authored or helped pass.

This country is well rid of this socialist, and I feel he has departed on his way to hell... And to think if the health care bill was already passed to those of us in the real world, he would have been denied help in his fight with brain cancer, wait you have to have a brain to have brain cancer, and he would have been red the best way to end his life.

Of course the congress have their own coverage that gives them anything and everything they need in health coverage...and I know there are many more items we are forgetting, so feel free to send them to me and I will add them to the list...I say Thank God for taking him before he could do anymore damage to this great country of ours...
Virginia

The REAL Obituary:

The Kennedy you will not hear about this week as the media tells you what a great man he was.

The Last of The Kennedy Dynasty

As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car.

The Kennedy family began "calling in favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills... a "token of friendship"?


8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism" In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of "what's right". What a pompous ass!

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than "great American". "A blonde in every pond" is his motto.

Let's not allow the spin doctors make this jerk a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is.

Edward Kennedy and his family should always be remembered for this crime for which less wealthy American's would be in prison just as the murder of Marilyn Munroe should be remembered for the involvement of the Kennedy family - particularly John & Robert & The Schreiver brother in law!

Crimes of these proportions by elected leaders and the wealthy should never be forgotten just because they got away with it!!!

Just as there must never be an amnesty on the Lies and crimes against humanity and the war crimes of Anthony Charles Lynton BLAIR & his cabinet and those who gained Knighthoods and preferment for screening the intelligence lies!

#G174* - Lisa PEASE HAS A VIEW on LOCKERBIE

#G174* - Lisa PEASE HAS A VIEW on LOCKERBIE

In any kind of major transnational event, there is the historical truth, what actually happened, and the political truth, what must have happened for the nations involved to continue on as before.


Sometimes, these accounts match; other times, these “truths” are wildly divergent, which appears to be the case with the Lockerbie bombing.

On Thursday, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the former Libyan intelligence officer convicted of planting a bomb aboard Pan Am Flight 103 which exploded over the hills over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988, was released. The Scottish authorities said they were letting al-Megrahi go free on “compassionate grounds” because he was terminally ill from cancer.

This decision caused an uproar in the United States. Obama administration officials lodged angry protests; family members of the victims decried the move, and TV pundits joined in the lamentations. But what do they really know about the Lockerbie bombing, beyond what they’ve read in the last few days?

The truth about what happened at Lockerbie appears quite a bit more complex than the cookie-cutter version presented by the mainstream media. Several longtime observers of the al-Megrahi case have concluded that it has always been weak, at best.

According to British journalist Hugh Miles in a 2007 article for London Review of Books, many “lawyers, politicians, diplomats and relatives of Lockerbie victims now believe that the former Libyan intelligence officer is innocent.”

Miles quoted Robert Black QC, an Edinburgh University professor emeritus of Scottish law, as saying, “No reasonable tribunal, on the evidence heard at the original trial, should or could have convicted him and it is an absolute disgrace and outrage what the Scottish court did.”

Al-Megrahi was tried along with fellow Libyan intelligence officer Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah. With distraught relatives of victims filling the courtroom, the Scottish judges understandably feared the reaction to two not guilty verdicts. Instead, the judges acquitted Fhimah and found al-Megrahi guilty.

A U.N. observer to the trial, Austrian philosophy Professor Hans Koschler, noted, "You cannot come out with a verdict of guilty for one and innocent for the other when they were both being tried with the same evidence.”

The only important piece of evidence that differentiated al-Megrahi from Fhimah was the dubious identification of al-Megrahi by a storekeeper in Malta who fingered the Libyan as the buyer of clothing found in the bomb suitcase.

But this storekeeper had earlier identified several other people, including one who was a CIA agent. When he finally identified al-Megrahi from a photo, it was after al-Megrahi's photo had been in the world news for years.

There also were major discrepancies between the shopkeeper's original description of the clothes-buyer and al-Megrahi's actual appearance. The shopkeeper told police that the customer was "six feet or more in height" and "was about 50 years of age." Al-Megrahi was 5'8" tall and was 36 in 1988.

The Scottish judges acknowledged that the initial description "would not in a number of respects fit the first accused [al-Megrahi]" and that "it has to be accepted that there was a substantial discrepancy." Nevertheless, the judges accepted the identification as accurate.

Other Scenarios

As the Scottish judges pieced together their curious rationale for a guilty verdict, they also were rejecting earlier scenarios for the bombing.

For instance, Scottish radio reporter David Johnston devoted a chapter of his book Lockerbie: The Tragedy of Flight 103 to the prevalent theory in the months following the attack, that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) was responsible.

Scottish journalist Magnus Linklater, in an article for the London Timesonline on Aug. 13, noted that this was hardly a wild conspiracy theory at the time:

“It is sometimes forgotten just how powerful the evidence was, in the first few months after Lockerbie, that pointed towards the involvement of the Palestinian-Syrian terror group the PFLP-GC, backed by Iran and linked closely to terror groups in Europe. At The Scotsman newspaper, which I edited then, we were strongly briefed by police and ministers to concentrate on this link, with revenge for an American rocket attack on an Iranian airliner as the motive.”

Indeed, the Sunday Times of London reported in its front-page headline of March 26, 1989, “Pan Am Bombers Identified.” The article stated that anonymous intelligence sources knew who was behind the bombing: “the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine—General Command, led by Ahmed Jibril, a Damascus-based PLO renegade who opposes Yasser Arafat’s current peace drive.”

The paper claimed that PLO sources had told it the group had received $10 million to bring down the plane in retaliation for the downing of an Iranian civilian airline by the American cruiser Vincennes the summer before.

(The U.S. claimed the Vincennes thought it was being attacked, and fired in self-defense, a claim which had no basis in reality, despite having been voiced by President Ronald Reagan and Vice President and former CIA director George H.W. Bush. President Reagan refused to apologize to Iran for this tragic mistake.)

The Observer reported that, after the shootdown of the Iranian plane, the Iranian chargé d’affaires in Beirut invited Ahmed Jibril and other terrorists to a meeting attended by representatives of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, where plans were made to bring down a plane with a bomb.

The final meeting purportedly took place at the Carlton Hotel in Beirut just days before the Lockerbie incident.

On Dec. 24, 1989, the Sunday Times reported that white plastic residue found at the Lockerbie crash site matched material in alarm clocks purchased from a couple of Jibril’s PFLP-GC associates just before their arrest in West Germany in October 1988, just two months before the Lockerbie bombing.

As Bill Blum’s report, recently republished at Consortiumnews.com, noted, the Iranian-PFLP-GC conspiracy “was the Original Official Version, delivered with Olympian rectitude by the U.S. government — guaranteed, sworn to, scout’s honor, case closed — until the Gulf War came along in 1990 and the support of Iran and Syria were needed.”

Political Truth

Enter the political truth. With Iran and Syria no longer available as sponsors, given the new political reality, Libya became the new enemy. Never mind that the evidence was nearly nonexistent.

In a BBC report from 2002, U.N. trial observer Koschler stated it appeared to him the U.S. and UK authorities exerted undue influence over al-Megrahi’s trial. Why would U.S. and UK authorities try to influence the court? Beyond their roles as advocates for the victims, what did theyhave to gain or to hide?

Authors John Ashton and Ian Ferguson, who together wrote Cover-up of Convenience: The Hidden Scandal of Lockerbie, point out that more than just bodies were found in the wreckage of Flight 103.

Along with the 270 dead were approximately $500,000 in American bills and an envelope marked with $547,000, carrying travelers checks. But according to a few key witnesses, something else was found. Drugs. Heroin, to be exact.
Additionally, locals were perturbed by the immediate presence of large numbers of Americans who showed up in Lockerbie within a couple of hours of the downing of the plane.

When the CIA agents arrived on the scene, they were looking for highly confidential papers that should have been found on the body of the pilot, Captain James McQuarrie, No such papers were found. They also sought something of great importance, but would not specify what it was. They told the Scottish officials they’d know it when they found it.

Among the victims was a man alleged to have been planning a rescue operation for the American hostages then being held in Beirut, U.S. Army Major Charles McKee, a Defense Intelligence Agency employee who had been assigned temporarily to the CIA.

McKee had been accompanied by four others that were later identified as CIA men: Matthew Gannon, the CIA’s Beirut Deputy Station Chief; Ronald Larivier, Daniel O’Connor, and Bill Leyrer. Was the presence of these men on the flight significant in any way? Were they targets? One investigator believed that was a possibility.

Drug Scandal

Pan Am’s attorney James Shaughnessy hired Juval Aviv, president of a private intelligence firm named Interfor and a former Mossad member, to conduct an investigation into the bombing. Pan Am was facing a civil suit from families of victims regarding lax security policies. The more they knew about the bombing, the better Pan Am could determine whether to contest the suit or settle.

Aviv’s report, commonly called the Intefor Report, contains several claims, which, if true, are remarkable. It’s hard to know how much credibility to give the report, although Aviv’s firm had done business with the IRS and other government agencies, and had even been hired by the Secret Service to investigate potential threats against President Reagan.

The Interfor Report claims that one or more baggage handlers at Pan Am’s facilities in Frankfurt serviced the drug trade, swapping out innocent baggage for drug-laden baggage. The Report also claims that a CIA team (referred to as CIA-1 in the Report) had learned about this drug operation and was using their knowledge of it to extract concessions from those holding the hostages in Beirut.

The report claims that the McKee-led team of CIA people – in Beirut to plan a hostage rescue operation – learned of this drug smuggling operation and the role of some CIA people in it. According to the report, “The [McKee] team was outraged, believing that its rescue and their lives would be endangered by the double dealing.”

The report said, “By mid-December the team became frustrated and angry and made plans to return to the U.S. with their photos and evidence to inform the government, and to publicize their findings if the government covered it up. They did not seek permission to return, which is against the rules. The return was unannounced. … Sources report eight CIA team members on that flight, but we only have identified the five names reported herein.”

According to the report, an undercover Mossad agent tipped off the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) 24 hours in advance that a bomb was to be placed on Pan Am Flight 103. BKA, said the report, passed that information to CIA-1, which reported that information to its control, but received no guidance one way or another back.

The Interfor Report alleges that a Turkish baggage handler stashed a suitcase in the employee locker area, as was his usual practice with drug shipments.
During the loading of bags, a BKA agent noticed a bag that looked different than the usual drug bags. Since he was on alert for a potential bomb, he notified CIA-1, which again passed that information to its control.

The report said, “Control replied: don’t worry about it, don’t stop it, let it go.” The report said CIA-1 gave no instructions to BKA, and BKA did nothing to stop the bag.

In one of its most startling allegations, the report said, “The BKA was then covertly videotaping that area on that day. A videotape was made. It shows the perpetrator in the act. It was held by BKA. A copy was made and given to CIA-1. The BKA tape has been ‘lost.’ However, the copy exists at CIA-1 control in the U.S.”

Aviv encouraged Pan Am to obtain a copy of that tape, warning that the CIA would deny its existence, and that Pan Am would need to be persistent.

Press Attention

This story took on new dimensions in 1990, when both ABC and NBC did their own report on a drug ring link to the bombing. Both chose, however, to focus on a DEA operation, and the CIA was never mentioned by either network.

NBC named Khalid Jaafar, the only Arab on Flight 103, as the unwitting courier whose bag got swapped for the bomb. The Interfor Report had named the same person.

According to Cover-up of Convenience authors Ashton and Ferguson, on Oct. 30, 1990, NBC reported:

“NBC news has learned that Pan Am flights from Frankfurt, including [Flight] 103, had been used a number of times by the DEA as part of its undercover operations to fly information and suitcases of heroin into Detroit as part of a sting operation to catch dealers in Detroit. The undercover operation, code-named Operation Courier, was set up three years ago by the DEA in Cyprus to infiltrate Lebanese heroin groups in the Middle East and their connections in Detroit …

“[I]nformants would put suitcases on the Pan Am flights, apparently without the usual security checks, according to one airline source, through an arrangement between the DEA and German authorities. Law enforcement officials say the fear now is that the terrorists that blew up Pan Am 103 somehow learned about what the DEA was doing, infiltrated the undercover operation and substituted the bomb for the heroin in one of the DEA shipments” so the bomb would sail through the security loophole, undetected.

ABC produced a similar report the next day, and also claimed that Khalid Jaafar was one of the drug couriers.

The DEA investigated itself in the wake of these stories, and declared itself clean to a House subcommittee. The DEA claimed only three drug operations had been run through Frankfurt, and none in December of 1988 when the bombing took place.

In 1992, long after the DEA’s denials, a new report supporting the Interfor Report surfaced, in Time magazine of all places, supporting some of the reports core allegations.

The article, by Roy Rowan, stated that Ahmed Jibril used a Middle Eastern heroin traffic operation to get the bomb on the plane, and that McKee was heading back to Washington to expose the CIA unit’s operations with the drug dealers.

So is this the true history of what happened at Lockerbie? I don’t know.

The direction of the case shifted dramatically in the fall of 1990 as President George H.W. Bush was scrambling to assemble a coalition to drive Iraqi troops out of Kuwait. The Bush administration was in need of Iranian and Syrian help, too, in freeing U.S. hostages then held by Islamic militant groups in Lebanon.

Also in 1990, spin-off investigations from the Iran-Contra scandal were underway with Iranian officials possessing possible information that could have incriminated President Bush as he was looking toward a tough reelection battle in 1992. In short, the Iranians held a number of cards that would have made them inconvenient targets of the Pan Am investigation.

However, the Libyans were opposing Bush’s Persian Gulf intervention and had long ranked near the top of the list of America’s favorite enemies. Laying the blame on the Libyans let a lot of influential people off the hook.

While I don’t know if the alternative theories of the Pan Am 103 bombing are true, what I do know is that there is a lot more support for some of them than there ever was for the conviction of the unfortunate and now cancer-ridden al-Megrahi, whose release on Thursday was widely condemned by U.S. officials and media figures with almost no reference to the lingering doubts about his conviction beyond brief mentions that he continues to assert his innocence.

How did we get so far off track on this story? In part, by not having a truly independent media to investigate and report on the truth behind this case.

‘The arrogance and hubris of corrupt politicians
will be responsible for every drop of blood spilt
in the Wars of Disassociation, if Britain does not
leave the EU.

The ugly, centralised, undemocratic supra national policies being imposed by the centralised and largely unelected decisionmakers of The EU for alien aims, ailien values and to suit alien needs stand every possibility of creating 200,000,000 deaths across EUrope as a result of the blind arrogance and hubris of the idiologues in the central dictatorship, and their economic illiteracy marching hand in glove with the idiocy of The CAP & The CFP - both policies which deliver bills, destroy lives and denude food stocks.

The EU, due to the political idiocy and corruption of its undemocratic leaders, is now a net importer of food, no longer able to feed itself and with a decreasing range of over priced goods of little use to the rest of the world to sell with which to counter the net financial drain of endless imports.

British Politicians with pens and treachery, in pursuit
of their own agenda and greed, have done more
damage to the liberty, freedoms, rights and democracy
of the British peoples than any army in over 1,000 years.

The disastrous effects of British politicians selling Britain
into the thrall of foreign rule by the EU for their own
personal rewards has damaged the well-being of Britain
more than the armies of Hitler
and the Franco - German - Italian axis of 1939 - 1945.

#G173* - & GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT BUT THE EU ....

#G173* - & GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT BUT THE EU ....

Hi,

further to my posting at CLICK HERE & regardless of the fact that the ghastly Kinnocks were not in fact elected they did both get themselves onto the Gravy Train in the EU and buried their snouts deep in the troughs in total disregard for the best interests of the peoples of Britain who they so ingloriously betrayed.

& on the First Day God may well have said 'let there be light' but it looks as if after a mere century of rational effective electric lighting the EU in its crass determination to control all that is idiotic and more besides have decided they will destroy both our lighting, our low price bulbs and our health in one 'swell floop' by forcing us against all rational sense to use the inefficient and toxic CFL bulbs.

It would seem from The Telegraph today that not content with interfering they intend to recruit an army of Jobs Worths and sordid snoops to join the rest of their army of parasites in QUANGOs and Councils who so readily obfuscate what must be some 6,000,000 unemployed.

See at the end of the Telegraph article why stock piling is not a viable option!


Public told to snoop on light bulb law breakers

The public have been asked to 'snoop' on shopkeepers who continue to sell traditional light bulbs banned by Europe.

The public have been told to report shopkeepers who continue to sell traditional light bulbs

From September 1, it will be illegal to import conventional pearl or frosted bulbs of any shape or wattage. Traditional incandescent bulbs of 100 watts will also be banned under European law aimed at reducing energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions.

They will be replaced by energy saving lights, which usually use flourescent tubes, but it is thought some consumers will still prefer their 'traditional' bulbs, particularly for reading lamps.

There is evidence of people hoarding the old fashioned bulbs around Europe and enforcement agencies are ready to crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who continue to import the "illegal bulbs" from factories in China.

In Britain, trading standards officers will be carrying out inspections and are asking members of the public to report any shop continuing to stock the illegal bulbs.

Any individual found importing the bulbs into the EU will face a £5,000 fine and it could be an unlimited amount for big companies.

The Department for the Environment insisted it was necessary to use the law to ensure people buy energy efficient bulbs that will save them around £37 per annum on energy bills and save the UK one million tonnes of carbon every year.

But opposition politicians said people remain concerned about the health effects and quality of light of energy saving bulbs and should not be made to snoop on each other.

Although most large retailers in the UK began to phase out 100W bulbs at the beginning of this year, independent retailers continue to sell the traditional models.

A Defra spokesman said: ''The public could tip off trading standards if they know someone to be illegally importing 100W or frosted light bulbs, just as they would if they found dangerous toys or appliances.

"Trading Standards could then follow the normal procedure to test the bulbs, find proof of date of purchase and could then challenge the importer through the courts. The enforcement of this new legislation is important to maintain fairness to honest retailers and importers and to protect consumers."

Nick Herbert, the Tory environment spokesman, said it was a waste of taxpayers' money.

"People will be incandescent about such a waste of public money. At a time of economic gloom this proposal will create more heat than light."

Sales of incandescent light bulbs have risen by 34 per cent year-on-year in Germany in the first six months of 2009, consumer research group GfK found

Syed Kamall, a Tory MEP, said he continues to receive letters and emails from people who want to stick with incandescent light bulbs.

He said the Government should be meeting the concerns of those who do not like the bulbs rather than punishing people who continue to use them.

"It is a completely over the top reaction. The problem is not people stocking up or importing incandescent light bulbs, the issue is that there continue to be concerns about the health effects of energy saving light bulbs," he said.

Nigel Farrage, the leader of UKIP, said the public should not be encouraged to snoop.

"Under this Government we begin to resemble East Germany in the 1980s where we snoop and report on local businesses," he said. "No doubt the next move will be to snoop on your parents if they continue to use old fashioned light bulbs."

The low energy lights use a fifth of the energy of incandescent lights, cost around £3 each but should last around seven years.

SNOOPING:

As I am sure you are aware 'snooping' was the concept widely used by The Gestapo where it was required that good party members provided written 'Denouncements', whether true or false The Gestapo would then have an excuse to act against those whose property they wanted or who stood between them and their evil aspirations and many aqn innocent individual was sent for 'retraining' via a programme of 'Arbeit Macht Frei' to Bergen Belsen, Ravensbruk, Treblinca or Auschwitz!

In the USSR an arm of the KGB used officially employed watchers for the state, most of whom would otherwise have been unemployed so obliged with information, often false, to ensure they too were not sent for retraining at the Gullags.

In East Germany the snoopers of the STASI were legion and many young women were actively recruited by such as Marcus Wolfe to move into other countries and allign themselves with minor politicians and if possible marry them - long term deep cover agents.

All so very like the way the EU is becoming!!

STOCK PILING:

Although one sees much wittering on Forums of the ill informed - stock piling is not really a viable option either for businesses or the public.

Although Edison filament light bulbs have been known to last for almost 100 years the bulbs available in Britain will have a very short life expectancy if used in Britain - just as the CFL bulbs will not fulfil their potential! The bulb failure rate is because the bulbs now on supply in Britain be they Edison filament bulbs or CFLs are produced to a standard to suit continental Europe where circuitry runs at 210>230 volt.

Britain in the idiotic EU belief that one size fits all has made an issue of compliance - however if you meter the supply in your home you will find the supply, despite claims to the contrary by the suppliers, runs at 220>240 volt. It is NOT the amount of power that blows the bulbs but surges - thus if a bulb is turned on on a dimmer and incrementally raised it should theoretically last indeffinitly sadly however if the bulb is manufactured to run at 210>230 volt no amount of care will help it survive surges to 240 volt.

All so very EU and so typically dishonest!

It is claimed a Million Tons of CO2 will be saved - so what? There is absolutely no clear scientific evidence that a rise in CO2 is in any way harmful and there is clear and irrefutable evidence that CO2 rises upto 800 years AFTER periods of global warming and none that it has any causal effect!

Perhaps it is time that the public started snooping on the false science and considered howmuch grant money could be saved by not funding the projects of those who lie to us!
