Good News Bad News & Little Green Men seen in Truro

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Hi,

Well as one chapter closes another is being written, this time with other agencies. When is a free country, not a free country, when is freedom of speech, not freedom of speech? The story is being subdued but you can only do that for so long. The Deeper the cut, the longer it takes to heal, what are you afraid of? Where is Jack Nicholson when you need him? “You can’t handle the truth”. Never a truer line said….

It looks Good News in Truro, the same old same old experts, lost another case, maybe the juries are learning more about the need to see real evidence and not just hear over paid experts coming in and spouting fiction. Apparently some little green men walked in to the Court Room, I would love to have been there to see it, it would have been the icing on the cake - you had to be there.

Bad news yesterday, the Times and the foreman of the jury in Keran’s case were found guilty of contempt of court (lucky there isn’t an offence of contempt of the system and of greedy expert witnesses - I would be doing life). But of course after the sentence, which the judges, when they allowed the Attorney General proceed with this case said “there are more important issues” (or words to that effect), maybe the judges when sentencing will award the Times and Mr Seckerson damages for having their time wasted.

I wonder how much time and effort has been spent on this case, they could be spending it looking into much more dodgy issues like certain MP’s integrity?

Lots to look at there.

What would you do, you feel that there was a wrong verdict, do you sit and say nothing? Is there any support, and I mean real support for Jurors after cases? Not sure if there is much of a plan.

I was going to pop up to London next week to see the appeal start for Mike Burridge but his appeal has slipped back, we know all about that, but hopefully there won’t be too much of a delay. Every day you spend in prison is a day wasted, and those on the outside need to be made aware of it.

I wonder if a CPS Barrister was wrongly convicted of SBS or one of the other favourites of certain experts, things would change quicker? Hang on I think I saw a little green man…

18 months wasted.

I read a lovely verse earlier in a card sent to Keran that read,

“The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world”.

Either they are talking about Keran or a loo roll…you decide!

But the message stands…

the truth will be heard about all the wrongs done, the things not done, and the like.

Stay safe

Iain

p.s.

The car had a lovely run out the other day, out of the main gate to be precise….

p.p.s

Thanks for all the pressies, so far its brought on my hay fever (flowers), made me gain 12lbs(chocolate), and got me drunk as a skunk (half a glass of sherry).

Happy Birthday & Stuff

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Hi,

Just a quick thanks to all those that sent me cards, wishing me a happy 21st, 36th,  37th,21st, 40th, 41st, 21st, well the exact age isn’t important, your as young as you feel, I currently feel a 103!

I have spent most of the last few days decorating with some of the girls from the Carers Team, it was a Hall of a job, then the family nephews and nieces team came in to mop up and also to take on the ground floor.

We now have a living room that is quite trendy for someone who is a 103!

As Keran couldn’t make it home for my birthday, some lame excuse about not being allowed out! She organised a fly past of a dozen or so Royal Navy Helicopters…I didn’t have the heart to tell her I was Air Force. Anyway someone later said it was actually for the Royal Navy’s (well the Fleet Air Arm) 100 year birthday.

Only a 100 years old, hah got a few years on them!

But well done to the Navy, they survived various cuts, some serious ones just after and before the Falklands. Shame that they now have no fighters after this Government saw fit to remove them. Who needs fighters to provide cover for the surface ships, when have they ever needed that before (answers on a flattop please).

Congrats to the scary Joanna Lumley to, if you had the choice of facing a crazed and starved pack of wolves armed with machine guns or Joanna Lumley, show me the wolves anytime. Nice cornering of the minister, no one would make a patsy out of you.

The London Marathon also finished today for a certain Redcap, who managed to complete the course despite having no legs. Well done, and good luck with the climb, but have a Kit Kat first, have a break you deserve it.

My main present hopefully turns up this week to, a bit later than the others, when Mrs H finally comes home, where she belongs, with her family.

We have new people involved in our life now, as we have probation services involved now, only the Ministry of Agriculture left…

We await to see when she is coming out and what conditions she and the family will have to cope with. As soon as we know if they affect any of you, and they will, we will let you know, as we will need your help to get through them. 

I feel sorry for probation as I had hoped along with a lot of you that Keran would have been released and had her name cleared, but it sadly wasn’t to be, and then probation wouldn’t have to do what they do and try and sort out the mess.

As probation get involved we say farewell to those that looked after Keran whilst in prison, those in uniform and those out of uniform. To those who booked the boys and a lot you down for visits, to those that had the nurturing element towards Keran.

But from me personally to the ladies at the facilities Keran has had to put up with (I know you have had to put up with her…now you know how I feel - its okay she will never read this)! Who, even with enough on your own plate, gave advice or a kind word, that all helped to keep her pretty much intact thank you and if you believe in him, God Bless.

I will take over again now, I have had an 18 month break, so I should be fully recharged and refreshed. Just in time for our 17th anniversary, which is when you give ‘ a file’ to mark the event….damnit if it had only been earlier.

Take care and do remember there are others always worse off than you, hard to believe for some of you I know, but there are.

Trial and hopefully no errors in Truro

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Evening all,

Never got to say that whilst wearing the blue serge (although that sounds like a Balkans Stripper).

Anyway more serious stuff to blog about, I see that Anne Marie Rooney awaits the judges summing up next week in Truro.

I was interested to see that there was “overwhelming evidence” of SBS…wow…at last they have real evidence of a so far unproven theory…OR of course they are just using the same old paid mercenaries to say the same old stuff and nonsense.

There are experts out there, that are much truer to the legal process, if they don’t know, they say so, if they think its something they say it could be that, and if offered that it could be something else…

Whereas the boys and girls in the SBS brigade…sorry ladies, not as many of you seem so certain as some of the “old brigade’s big guns”.

I remember the term “big guns” being used whilst outside the court watching the proceedings. I guess we were the Light Brigade in comparison riding into the enemies guns. Well they did inflict serious casualties last time that’s for sure, and they did a lot of damage to themselves in the process (and their associated helpers), ironic eh chaps?

But the Light Brigade in all their battered finery, went away, and licked their wounds and came back, they developed their tactics and got stronger, new personnel and new equipment came in, they left their horses behind and got armoured. So they became tankers as opposed to the other side who are … not tankers.

They just stick to their “big guns”, well things change on the battlefield boys. Ooh and they said war would be over by Christmas well with the retrial not until early December now, we will see, we are back into another phony war period, but there are always fresh battles to fight and skirmishes to be fought. Before the main act, we watch, we wait.

I just hope the jury in Truro are good and true and not easily convinced (see how the word con, forms an important part  of that word). They must remember it has to be beyond reasonable doubt….and surely there is doubt, if its an unproven theory.

Also gives you a clue if they can’t decide if its Murder or Manslaughter? Cake and eat it comes to mind again, that was used in the Mallinder case and others. ‘do em for both and maybe the jury won’t go for murder, they won’t go for innocent…so they will go for the middle ground…manslaughter’…hmmmmm.

Justice?

Or

Just a stitch up??

I still struggle with should all my hatred and anger and desire for vengeance go to the experts, for touting their nonsense, or those that allow them to say it, or those that encourage them (and pay them - and seem quite cosy at times). Maybe the systems to blame eh Gordon?

Its not my fault that people give me loads of money to say that SBS is true (and beyond all reasonable doubt…remember that if your ever on a jury)…its the systems…..

Bring on the Law Commissions work into the use of Experts, we have some suggestions….and also some for those involved in these cases, like the Police, CPS, Social Services etc.

Can they fix it?

But more to the point…

Do they care?

I Thank you…again (I thank you)

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

The trouble with writing one of these blog things is I usually only get chance to sit down and write them late on, when my memory is fading along with my energy levels.

So I forgot a few thank you’s. Again not in any real order (there is no order in my brain at the mo).

To the Hamper deliverers

The Attendees to events

The Donater’s

The Cake makers (there’s a lot of them about)

The Paperwork sorters (Saturday’s especially)

The Decorators

The Builders

The Barbers (& The Papa’s)

To TV Suppliers and Stand suppliers

To Choirs & Brass Bands (you have talent - I don’t)

To Taxi Drivers

To the shoulders to cry on and ears to bend

The End…

well we will see.

No matter how bad things are, I have to thank my lucky stars I am not in Gordon Browns shoes as he has seemingly suffered the night of the short knifes. Hazel got in there, although maybe more made of it, Harriet is not going for the job…heard that before. I think I would rather be a prosecution expert than the PM…OR MAYBE NOT. They may both be facing their Waterloo soon.

Good to see the Gurkha’s won one battle, I never fancied tackling Joanna Lumley in her ‘Purdie’ days, high kicking in the New Avengers, but now she carries a Kukhri (A Gurkha’s razor sharp blade)…forget it, but well done to her and the Gurkha’s. People worry about them all wanting to settle here. I think they have more sense than that!

High crime, low morale’s, high taxes, low integrity, high fidelity…high..high fidelity…that would make a good song, get kids to go to a school of performing arts…or just make a fly on the wall instead. Cheaper. Bit like being cheap and nasty by not letting them in, they show more loyalty to Queen and Country than most.

Mind you we may need all the troops we can get as the battle of Europe will soon be among us again, we may have to declare war on the Baltic States, the Balkans and anyone else that doesn’t award 12 points to the UK in Eurovision.

But that’s another battle for another day.

K Day is coming and won’t be long now. Still got time to do but its less and less. Whilst the experts will resume their ‘work’ this week down in Truro, Keran nears her freedom. We still have to see what restrictions are placed on her  and the family when she is out and even potentially you the reader and your families. Shouldn’t be long though.

I hear  that the ‘man’ or Baby P’s step-dad is appealing against the conviction/sentence he received for the rape of a two year old girl. I can’t see him being the appealing sort. He doesn’t sound it.

Poor little Peter, as we are now allowed to refer to him, his name still in the news, but other news also of more sackings at a certain North London Social Services. We really do need a review fro top to bottom. But you have to wonder how many more are at risk, as we sit here. Lets hope not too many and lets hope those that inflict this pain on our most vulnerable members of society face the harshest of realities.

Maybe they could help with the Gurkha’s traditions, the one when they finish cleaning their knifes? Only joking, wouldn’t waste good steel on them, they could taint it.

I thank you…

One day I may go through the list of those we have nothing to thank…there’s quite a few in that one to.
