The UK's Talking School Holidays.

Yesterday (1/7/13) the UK's senior minister for education Micheal Gove backed by his department suggested that headmasters of schools in England should be given the power to set their own terms. For many this will mean the end of the 6 week long summer holiday.

This is obviously a reference to 50 Beechwood Avenue. You see in the original plan the children at the address would spend the summer holiday running riot and causing me major disruption just as the United Nations (UN) operation in Mali was taking place and Rihanna was involved in an unsettling tour break. Due to my arrest and the engagement of the International Criminal Court (ICC) that is now looking like a distinctly less attractive option for the UK. Gove of course responded to the roof top incident by suggesting standard GCSE exams be replaced with "I-Levels." That of course was hint that the roof top incident represented a criminal offence of public nuisance because it occurred at above eye level. That sadly appears to have gone right over the heads of the yokels meaning that a more concrete solution is required.

One option would be to take Gove's announcement literally and accept that I am the headmaster and I'm allowed to dictate terms. Those terms are of course that those involved in criminal activity at 50 Beechwood are immediately arrested, charged and then either remanded in prison or placed in local council residential care while awaiting trial. A more palatable compromise solution would be for the local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) or ideally the Croydon borough police commander visit the address and inform them that it is extremely unlikely that criminal charges will be pursued against me due to some very serious counter allegations. By continuing to behave in an unlawful manner the occupants of the address are making it impossible for the local police to protect them against those allegations so they'd better moderate their behaviour.

Edited at around 18:45 on 2/7/13 to add;

The other big talking point in UK politics today was the announcement by the Home Secretary/Interior Minister of a public consultation of the police tactic of stop and search. This tactic is rather self-explanatory as it involves the police stopping a searching people that they have a "reasonable suspicion" of being involved in criminal activity. The issue itself is hugely controversial because the "reasonable suspicion" can be something as vague as the police officer claiming to smell marijuana or someone loosely fitting the description of someone in a crime report (e.g wearing a dark coloured hooded top). Therefore a lot of people (especially black people) think the police abuse this power to harass people while the police think that criminals frequently play the race card to get out of trouble. However with around 1.9 million stop and searches taking place in 2012 and only around 800,000 leading to an arrest this is an issue that needs to be discussed as part of a democratic society. Especially when the Territorial Support Group (TSG) are involved.

However the announcement can also be taken in two coded ways in relation to my case. The first being after being evidenced on numerous occasions engaging in serious criminal activity against me why have the occupants of 50 Beechwood Avenue not been stopped, arrested and their property searched? The second being over the legality of the polices search and seizure of that hammer that I will need returned to me sooner rather than later. I've already covered that in my Glastonbury post. As explained the police are in a bit of a catch 22 there because if they demonstrate their search and seizure was lawful they also give me reasonable doubt. The main legal difference between the stop and search debate and the search and seizure of the hammer is that the hammer was on private property while stop and search can only happen in a public place.

Also CCTV has been released of the Chinese lantern that is said to have caused the Smethwick recycling centre fire. This is obviously a reference to that blackened jam jar from the night of my arrest. As I've explained before until such a time as the police can dream up a formal charge I don't have to comment on that or anything else. However I will point out that when I discovered it on my return from the police station it was approximately 10 metres within the boundaries of my property. So if it was picked up the 50 Beechwood Avenue's CCTV it again raises the question of why they've still not been arrested?

I will also have to do a full post on the Welsh Assembley debate on presumed consent on organ donation. However that's a very complicated issue so I may wait until today's debate is over because they'd be fools to vote on it tonight.
