Hi,

Summer is here still the bright yellow thing in the sky is not a Meteorite heading to the Earth but apparently something called the Sun (I thought that was a Newspaper). But let’s make the most of it.

I read with interest today how the double standards in justice still occur. I see that the authorities are not prosecuting those in charge of the C Diff poisoning in Kent, dozen’s died and no one is responsible…well that’s alright then…..is it?

Keran is stitched up (her case is still boasted about ion the QC’s website) by lots of experts and the CPS/Police with no evidence just opinions (paid). But no one, no group, no one at all is responsible for Manslaughter, through Negligence or whatever.

So it means when there is evidence of poor policies, planning etc etc you can get away with ‘murder’ some would say?

But the nearer you get to the top the more bomb proof you become, little old Keran (she’ll love that description) didn’t have a chance. If she was the head of a Government body or the like she would have been fine. Its worse when you get to money being wasted though, think of the Dome, no one took the blame, and all that cash (enough to buy one or two experts for the CPS) went into a Giant Tent in Greenwich. I was thinking of offering them £2 for the tent to use on Scout camps, but O2 outbid me at £2.50 as they had ready cash!

Talking of big numbers the Carers4carers site has been visited over 50,000 times! AMAZING!! Thanks as always to Alasdair for fitting it in between work etc and Sue.

It doesn’t seem that long ago when we made the first 100 hits, then 1,000 and then up the levels went. Alright I have visited it 49,000 times but put that aside it’s still good!

We have been finding out that Keran is allowed various things for her birthday and we have had a few bits to be sent in already. So thank you for those that have sent things in, she told me tonight she can also have a bit of extra cash, so I will be sending that in, so she can go on a wild shopping spree (or put it on the phone credit).

There are cases coming in from North America again showing how the tide continues to turn, we maybe ahead of the game still with various cases either being ‘lost’ by the CPS or kicked out by the Judges. We are getting nearer to sorting this out if we can get the Judges on board and some MP’s we can change things so that in cases like this you will be Innocent until proven guilty again. They must be getting fed up clearing up after the experts and the damage it does to British Justices image is not needed.

The Government seem to be trying to fire fight their own problems, as I have not heard from certain departments and ministers for a while - lying low? Or Low and lying?? Who knows, who cares….

Good news though the boys will get to see their Mum a couple of times this week, we saw her on Monday a ‘Family day’ - I think we would have preferred the likes of Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Legolasland (its the new Lord of the Rings version). We are in again tomorrow on a normal visiting order (VO in tech speak) so will be good as long as we get in without too many hitches, just not enough staff there, can’t say I envy them.

But the Prison Service is like the Police, Military and all the rest understaffed and under valued. The Police look set to have to fight again for this years pay rise, maybe they can ask for 35% like British Gas….isn’t that poor planning to have to jump it up that much, surely more people will leave British Gas and go to anyone cheaper? But the good news is Petrol is down…well a couple of pence so we must all be grateful. After all the companies like BP haven’t made much profit and don’t make it on the forecourt anyway. Some Banks haven’t made much either still only in the Hundreds of Millions….its bloody awful, how will they all survive?

Luckily Carers4carers haven’t got into looking after poor Multi Million Bullion companies, maybe we can expand? But first we have to fight a much more noble cause, cash corrupts, we all need it, but remember the simple pleasures? Comics are making news in a lot of programmes of late, takes me back (I remember seeing them - in museums of course), titles like Warlord, Battle, Victor, Commando, (can’t think why I went in the forces) and the more fun ones like Whoopee, Look In and the like. The days when you would go out on your bike all day or camp on farmers fields (asking them of course), nowadays of course you have to do a risk assessment to open the comic (in case of paper cuts), make sure you lift the comic correctly and make sure it doesn’t offend anyone.

Which takes me back to the days when the Singapore Police came over to look at how we Policed Speakers Corner, as they were going to set one up back in Singapore. They decided to set a Speakers Corner up (against my advice, gone are the days you get Winston Churchill, Soper and the like spoke there) but cunningly they decided not to allow anyone to talk about Politics, Religion etc etc. Not sure what comedians are allowed to say there in the comedy clubs…not a lot. Can you imagine what they would make of the names in comics from years gone by, that’s before you even talk about the likes of Viz!

The days of experts taking the Viz (or something like) are drawing to a close…

Iain aka Desperate Dan the Whizz, Plug, Bash street Lord Snooty (Old School)

Modern names would be more like Slasher, RAZR (no O), Gangsta (no e no r), the Bash ‘em up street kidz….maybe I have just come up with a whole new comic…now where’s the number for Dragon’s Den…Mind you isn’t Chasing Dragons illegal?

Stay safe

Again you wait for updates then two come along in fairly quick succession!

Just a few things that need to be mentioned firstly, praise to the judge who directed the Jury to find Linda Wise the Nanny on trial in Liverpool for the Manslaughter of a little boy NOT Guilty. The Foreman from our case said he didn’t want to read out the verdict, well if there had been more cases before ours then maybe he would have got his wish but the 10 Jurors unfortunately didn’t get that direction and went with the fiction of the faction of Hawks and witch hunters, ignoring the likes of Wayney Squiers, Philip Anslow.

It’s a pity it hadn’t happened in ours! But there you go; maybe there is a bigger purpose? Just hope it comes soon, as I am chomping at the bit to start, well let’s just say the resolution.

The sad loss of another child though is again awful under any circumstances and as an ex Police Officer my thoughts are with the boys parents. Some comment slate them for going after the nanny, I am not sure if they did or didn’t but the CPS do seem to like giving these cases a run. Not sure what they are trying to prove? Maybe they just like boasting about it on their website? It’s a shame the staff I deal with who get assaulted don’t get their support even when real evidence is readily available…

Anyway the ‘experts’ seemingly felt that little Isaac’s death which came 10 months after the alleged assault…so can I take it they meant there was a Lucid interval…a 10 month lucid interval. Which if I remember correctly they said in our case you don’t get Lucid Intervals then? Funny how they change their minds…maybe the pay cheques or the Kudos helps make up their minds…surely not?

Miss Wise apparently said she wouldn’t be able to work in her chosen career anymore. I do hope not…as an Innocent Woman why shouldn’t she? But I fear she maybe right as we await to see the latest group to have a dig at us, the Department of Health & good old OFSTED are JUST getting round to another level of mischief, we will see if it continues. But once the Experts smear you, the Police (kind of) investigate, the CPS close the circle (by getting their experts in - I thought Legal and Medical or something like that, was an Insurance company, not a stitch up company). She looks set to be done up like a kipper, she has missed out on the delights though of all the other departments we have.

But hopefully the poor service, performance etc may all change once we get this case overturned. As that’s not the only thing that will get overturned and I will call on the Politicians to sort out these aspects so others won’t have to suffer (no more Cannings, Clark, Patel’s, Harris, etc etc etc). Also that prisons, probation etc are given the staff they need to do their jobs. They say a society should be judged by their care of those in its prisons (should be any public body as far as I am concerned).

The likes of Dominic Grieve and Jack Straw MP can do a lot of good in the future. Jack Straw may be busy though taking over from Gordo, not that I have any inside info, but he seems to be a man of integrity, so at least that’s a solid base to start from. And God knows we need that and not spin and targets…Spinning Targets are hard to hit.

Just heard Gordo say he knows what its like to go to the Supermarket and buy eggs and to the Petrol Station to fill up…’he knows what its like’…begs the question then why is he not doing anything. Less words more action matey…

Talking of Action those sent into danger by Blair & Brown there has been another sad loss this time of an Army Dog handler, the second British Soldier to be killed this week, as an ex-doggie man myself, my prayers are with his family. Dog handlers can be right out there with the troops sniffing out explosives or the enemy (I always wanted a dog that would just sniff out cash - much better find)! The bond between the handler and the dog borders on spiritual, I would rather have a dog than a machine gun or INDEED a dog with a machine gun (true story - the Belgium army used them, Dogs, to pull machine guns, the Swiss use them to bring Booze…lets hope the two don’t meet up).

Anyway things are starting to pick up on all fronts and I would just like to thank all those working towards justice. Also a HUGE thanks to Linda & Mandy who have been stars looking after the boys. Not sure what I would do without them.

Finally to all those that stand for Justice it’s only 292 days to go if they drag the appeal out. Only three more family birthdays to go and one more Christmas….

Stay safe

Summer Holidays are finally with us so not sure how many update will go out for this period.

But hope whether you are on your hols in Bridlington, Brighton, Bangkok (not calling it by its Thai name as will run out of screen) or Baltimore you have a great time.

We have just been in to visit Keran and she is okay bit fed up with being away from the boys and at how slow things go at times. Also had a rather long letter from another Government body (a new one to us in this case having a go too - it leaves only the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Food Fights and Fish (or whatever they are called) to have go. Once we get those two we shout Bingo and win the right to have …oh…sorry…nearly thought we had rights!

Anyway life moves on and the clock is ticking till we get a chance to set the record straight. It just feels like being in a coma, its not really normal life, just watching it all go by.

Today on the news I saw those in the Horn of Africa, yet again struggling to survive. So it kind of makes me think ‘best shut up’! Whatever pain we all have there are some with pain un-imaginable to us all. You also see another Tyrant see justice catch up with them hiding in the community as a new age therapist. Mind you his ‘charms’ looked awfully bullet shaped to me. Maybe he isn’t that new aged.

Yet on the same day, the sad news also came over of another troop dying for his country, throwing himself onto a grenade to save his colleagues, the selfless bravery of another. Bring back National service so they can all experience the sense of being part of team with role models, sense of belonging and teamwork. Baden-Powell worried about these things over 100 years ago, its nothing new we just forget the importance of the simple things. Those that don’t want the Military National Service give them other ‘civil’ roles (Kids should also be getting Conflict Resolution Training, First Aid and Personal Safety). But that’s another story…..

The date for the court of appeal crawls closer, but hopefully things will be different this time around. Other cases keep cropping up in the papers, the trial of Linda Wise a nanny allegedly killed a child in her care that before her time with him had shown signs of illness, it does seriously concern me that the CPS Experts seem unwillingly EVER to take on that maybe there is something and rather than go round witch hunting the should look at all the cases.

We need to stop the same experts doing this for a living, surely it can’t just be me that things that if the same people keep getting used and saying the same stuff (well nearly always) and getting paid lots to say it something may well stink. Not forgetting they seem to forget they are meant to be independent and not there for the Police and CPS? To say I am disappointed is an understatement but times are changing.

Nice to hear on the Matthew Wright Show earlier the subject briefly turned to these sort of cases again. There are a lot of cases out there and maybe we will see a change; a couple more in the US and Canada have been found innocent. Nice to hear the names of Meadows and Southall are still remembered for their ‘actions’ really must keep an eye on who joins them in the next few months.

So think of those that are fighting whether on a battle front or in the villages around West London and the Home Counties against unwanted developments or caring for loved ones who are fighting illness. To all those that have supported us and are still standing by, thank you enjoy the holidays and time with your families.

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

It feels like an age since I put finger to keyboard. But I don’t know where the time has gone some days since returning to work full time there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I have found it so much easier though with all the local cooks and chefs helping out and dropping meals off. It is such a big help I can’t thank those that do it enough.

I may put a carers4carers cook book together; it also explains why I am now gaining weight and no longer losing it!

Obviously I have to work hard to maintain my athletic fizzical behaviour, or is that too quizzical as your all now thinking he never had the body of an Adonis (or some other aftershave bottle - anyone remember Hi-Karate or Blue Denim that’s when men had smells and not fragrances….oh and soap on a rope). Anyway before the fizz losses its sparkle I will move on.

We have recently had the 2nd Carers Ball aka the Pink Ball - which sounds a bit Monty Python to me. But it was another fantastic event; certainly my 5 year diary has never been so full! The setting at Pinewood Studios was lovely and it was so nice to see all those people there supporting Keran, the boys and Justice (not sure who that is - probably a freeloader).

It was nice to see so many having a ball literally, I hope once Keran is free we can find some excuse to do these events on a regular basis, maybe picking other good causes.

We have no real news still except that the legal team are busy working away getting reports in from various other experts to back up those that put Maeve’s sad death down to another cause. We have had various e-mails in regarding others in the same boat. I will of course help the innocent as much as I can. I can do this because of all the support you have given us.

I was disappointed to see that the expert Dr Southall, who accused Sally Clarks husband of the killing their children, on the back of watching a TV show, mind you the Police believed him showing the power of an expert witness over normally questioning Police Officers. He has been cleared by the GMC of poisoning children in his care as allegedly part of experts on kids. The parents are going to fight on and well done to them for doing so.

I see one of our experts wrote over 6 reports on our case, he is a free lance expert so can’t see he would have any other motive….oooh wait a minute…money….nawh, just cos he does this as a full time living I am sure he wouldn’t do that prat …sorry ‘that’! He with two others will be top of my list to go to the GMC if we can. But even if we can’t get them there we can just make people think about not using them as their credibility will be shot.

Anyway I think that’s enough of them….for now…….

Now whilst I sold the family silver off the other day to pay for a tank of Diesel, I noticed a newspaper report saying that Highwaymen are operating again in the area, they stop you and demand your diesel or your life. You will recognise them as they stink of fuel, don’t smoke and have lips blistered with petrol were they sucked the fuel out.

Whilst speaking to Mrs H earlier she was trying to tell me something that the other prisoners had been trying to teach her. She has to be careful on the phone as the calls can be monitored and she doesn’t want to sound too thick!!! God only knows what she will come out like after this ordeal, but hopefully she will know how to hot wire a nice car and arrange a bank job. I dread to think……..

When a DVD is played through the central player, piped into the rooms apparently, they don’t use the normal, U, 15, PG or 18 age brackets they just say its KA.. Keran Appropriate…..it’s usually made by Disney!

I also sent Keran an idea for a round road trip all around Europe (something I have fancied doing for a while) when she gets out and her name cleared, but they thought it was a cunning escape plan! So cunning it ends up back in England! Who would have thought it! It’s like the Great Escape guys ending up in Berlin!

So smile when you think all is bad in your world, cos nothing is funnier than this country. Anyway I have been told that all escape plans have to go through the Health and Safety Committee before the Escape Committee!

I have this image of an H&S inspector going down the tunnels saying to Steve McQueen, Dickie Attenborough et al…You can’t go down there it’s not up to European Specs! You will also have to tell the Camp boss (images of Butlins in Brighton now)…who would have thought it!

Anyway its late and work calls in the morning but before I go I read this passage earlier and just want to share it with you …

‘When God wants a hard thing done, He tells it to his Englishmen….The Englishmen is made for a time of crisis, and for a time of emergency. He is serene in difficulties, but may seem indifferent when times are easy. He may not look ahead, he may not heed warnings, he may not prepare, but when he once starts he is persistent to the death, and he is ruthless in action. It is these gifts that have made the Englishman what he is……’

Stanley Baldwin

Actually another jumps out to me and that is…..

‘We were not fairly beaten, my lord. No Englishmen is ever fairly beaten’.

The Chaplain in George Bernard Shaw’s St Joan (1924)

So for Keran, St George, England and God. May Justice be done, even nearly 8 months on! Keep you families close and count the blessings we all still have even in the lowest of the lows. Thanks to all the best supporters in the world. So many of you have given so much to so few for so long…now that sounds familiar too? Nawh……I think I came up with it first!

Stay safe
