Last Tuesday (21/6/11) the British government announced a widespread review of it's courts and policing. Obviously this has provoked much discussion within the legal profession and led to some sensationalist legal rulings over the past week. These include Tuesday's (28/6/11) ruling on police bail and today's (30/6/11) ruling on the families of soldiers who were seeking compensation over their deaths in Iraq. Equally obviously these discussions have tried to use my name as a disguise in order to both confuse the discussion and provoke a reaction.
Although it wasn't the intention these discussions have raised two important points. Firstly that no-one who has participated in my situation is covered by the European Human Rights Act or any other legal protection. Secondly if Croydon Magistrates Court feels that the law does not allow for the prosecution of the Notting Hill Housing Trust (NHHT) then the government must immediately pass emergency legislation to rectify that flaw. However that is something of a moot point because the law does allow for that prosecution and an unwillingness to do so simply puts the court in the situation described by the first point. Anyway I hope the Brits enjoy the discussion because as they say, talk is cheap.
Also Prince William and his new wife, Catherine are making their first foreign trip to Canada. Rather sneakily the visit has been timed to co-incide with a long weekend forcing the Canadians to take an interest.
