Hi,

I have an idea for a new TV show if anyone from a production company is reading this, imagine this an East German Secret Policeman, falls into a deep freezer for 20 years and re emerges in England after the old Freezer was brought over to the Tate Gallery as a Turner Prize candidate.

He wakes up after defrosting (no one can afford to pay the bills in 2008) he walks around London and sees the Bin Police throwing people into Prison for not recycling (how to put people off serious issues - no carrot just a stick). A good start he thinks damn greenies!

The East German is very impressed at the amount of CCTV Cameras covering everything! The roads seem to have hundreds at certain junctions. Fantatsic this future world!

The air of menace is there he remembers so well, not from hordes of his colleagues but from hooded sinister strangers on each corner. Maybe they are secret Police in plain clothes…or unemployed monks as the monastries must still be frowned upon he wonders as he walks along.

There is a lot of Graffiti though, maybe he has woken up on the wrong side of the wall (there is still a wall right?).

He reads the newspaper headlines (he learnt English when spying on visitors to the GDR - East Germany), he reads how an innocent woman can be locked up by ‘experts’ who have never proven their theories and get paid to do so, and some it seems only ever stand for the state, meaning all must be guilty (wow just like home he thinks). Good none of this innocent until proven guilty nonsense, that seems to be still gone.

But the best bit is they can now lock people up for 42 days without trial. Wow - Life on Mars, the GDR Files or Life in England 2008. You decide on a title.

One final thing the Secret Policeman is surprised at how the fuel is still allowed to be sold to mere mortals, but he is pleased to see it costs more than an old rusty Trabant car per litre! Mind you he has just seen how the Police are treated by the Brown and Smith Politbureau so he may have to get another job ‘expert witness’ for the CPS perhaps? The pays good and you get to travel…….

What do you think/ A possible show, obviously we can have cool East German pop music of the time and the coolest vehicle on the roads at the time - a Trabant. I say cool cos’ the heater doesn’t work! The hero walks around in a cool Leather Jacket with Satsi on it .

I may have said this before but why go for 42 days? Will all the mountains of paperwork be done by then? What happens if you need 43? Why didn’t they ask for this during the IRA Bombing camapigns, Or the others across London and the UK over the years? Not sure I trust this government to sort out anything, especially ancient liberties, we are making our society something the Taliban might be impressed with?

We will soon lose our ancient right to practise Archery every Sunday morning after Church, although Father Will has said Health & Safety have asked that i don’t do it in the church!

The thing is the more you read the more depressing it, as they are also saying they want powers to pick up any of our DNA lying around on cans, cups, stirring sticks etc. Massively increasing the DNA database there then……East Germany welcomes you!

Sleep tight Comrades.

Hi,

Apologies for not replying to some of your e-mails too much but the old internet is slowing down for me and on bad days just won’t get going at all. So please bear that in mind if sending any urgent material via the tinterweb thingy.

Well, the news from the home front is pretty slow, especially now the CPS have asked the Royal Courts for more time. When we asked for more time before the first trial the legal team got a real chewing by the Judge, AND I AM SURE the CPS would have received the same treatment.

Mind you the first time round the CPS sheepishly stood up and said ‘we need more time too, as one of the key experts had pulled out’ …I can’t remember which one it was now…sure it will come back to me.

I am certain it will be for proper reasons to that the CPS have asked for this delay, and not to protract a miscarriage of justice any longer than need be, to keep two boys from their mother any longer than should be. Or of course another train of thought would be they are doing exactly that just out of spite.

Well, whatever the reason, it will only hold back justice for a few more days, but it is coming and it will sweep up the mess made by them. Hopefully the judges who have the Sue Holdsworth case and this other case involving a Nigerian man (who’s name escapes me at the mo - memory going, the other day I thought I lived in a free country…fancy that….did you know they want to insert sim cards into your credit cards that can track them…you…I may go to using cash under the bed again …note to self - get some cash).

Anyway back to Sue Holdsworths case, if hers is going to retrial and ours along with this other case and the many others (like the ex servicemen Burridge down in the South West) are heard soon, well maybe there is going to be a determined effort to stop this nonsense happening again.

The legal & medical crew, not the insurers, but the Prosecution et al, who ensured another miscarriage will hopefully be shown the way out of the courts never to darken British Justice again - unless they can actually prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the ‘Triad’ exists (and we know even they doubt parts of it as I sit and type)!

It must be quite frustrating to be an Appeal Court Judge and see these cases causing so many problems.

But not as frustrating as sitting here, its been good getting out and about with work again though, I often hear of the delegates problems and cases and think actually the justice system fails so many. I know it’s a problem in the Police to, you can do so much work on a case, with ‘real’ evidence and it goes nowhere.

I do believe that all cops should have a career break after so many years in, just to keep them in touch with outside life. I found it so good though, I didn’t go back, mind you it didn’t help with the way things went for us I guess. Maybe it’s about time they did get the power to prosecute and use their discretion again. Rather than have to justify Government targets and nick people.

The only downside to being out on the road again is seeing the amazing amount of effort to catch speeding motorists. It is a problem (speeding-especially when you see people doing a 100mph + weaving in and out of traffic), I know, I have dealt with it. But hiding on Motorway bridges, or sticking little cameras out there is not the way to do it. More traffic cops who can deal with many more issues would be better; the powers that be are alienating the majority, as discretion has gone and targets rule.

I wonder how many times Government Cars with ministers on board have broken the speed limits? We have all seen pictures of some jumping red lights, you just hope they get the same treatment; they make the rules, and set the targets after all.

Anyway I am sure all the money raised goes to paying off the national debt to the banking system. I have sold off my shares in the banks I own as a taxpayer and am moving to an island in the Pacific, its going cheap they said its red hot and is so warm it even glows at night. In a few hundred years time it may be safe to swim in the sea. Bikini Atoll I think it’s called…sounds exotic…….anyway fancy a break away from the UK?

Take care and remember all that glows is not gold.

Keran can now only have any craft items sent in via a ‘hand in’ which happens every 8 weeks or so.

If you have any items to hand in there will be one in 2 weeks time so please hand anything you would like her to have to Iain or the team asap.

Keran really appreciates all the materials, especially as she is now building upto the Christmas season! Also the Postal Orders have been truly appreciated keeping her in touch with the boys. She can’t thank you all enough for the contiued support.

Tonight I sat and made another phone call to a family struck by ‘expert’ meddling and to my surprise…NOT…the same old names came cropping up.

I may do something so challenging I will need lots of sponsorship…like be nice to an ‘expert’….at least they would have a few bob to sponsor me - their work is Credit Crunch proof!
