The parents were right.

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/ashyas-life-saved-by-proton-beam-therapy/ar-BBiAYbb?ocid=U142DHP Ashya's Life 'Saved By Proton Beam Therapy'   Ashya King with his mother     The parents were right after all. The "hissy fit" doctor(s) concerned (the treatment would be of no use anyway), the Portsmouth council officials who went to the courts attempting to stop the parents taking Ashya to Prague, the judge who granted extradition application, the CPS and police who with almost maniacal vigor pursued and persecuted the parents across half of Europe, some elements of the media who embarked on a campaign of condemnation and demonisation of the parents with little or no justification other than their own warped agenda's, should all read this story and feel shame at their attitudes and actions at the time. Ashya King is in remission now and may that continue. His parents have been vindicated for their actions in doing what ever may be ne...

Medical decisions where "How much will it cost?" is more important than "What does this patient need?"

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/sep/03/ashya-king-father-reunited-son Parents to be reunited with critically ill five-year-old on Wednesday following their release from Spanish prison Ashya King The Prima Donna's of Southampton Hospital who, right up until Monday, insisted that proton beam treatment was unsuitable for Ashya and therefore they would not refer him for treatment in Prague, have this morning announced that they have changed their minds and will refer him after all. If this is the case today, it was the same two weeks ago and the "hissy fits" of the Doctors concerned and the stupidity of the Hospital, Portsmouth Council, the CPS and the police have result ed in trauma for the patient and the patients family. It is a disgrace. It has always been about medical decisions being taken on financial cost rather than medical necessity and the "authorities" should be severely censored for their incompetent and inept handling of t...

U-Turn by CPS in the case of stealing food from supermarket waste bins.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/29/cps-iceland-bins_n_4688853.html?utm_hp_ref=uk 'Iceland Three' Will Not Face Charges For Taking Food From Supermarket Bins Iceland Foods   Yesterday, the Crown Prosecution Service said that the prosecution would continue as there was "significant public interest in prosecuting these three individuals". Clearly the "significant public interest" lasted less than 24 hours, which probably results from "the public" criticism, outrage and ridicule of the stupidity of the CPS bringing these charges in the first place. Someone at the CPS obviously spent a great deal of time rummaging through old legislation to find an obscure section of the 1824 Vagrancy Act under which to propose a prosecution. They would have been better employed reading "How to obtain common sense and how to apply it to your decision making". Today Baljit Ubhey from the Crown Prosecution Service ...

The heinous crime of stealing food from supermarket waste bins.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/men-charged-with-stealing-food-from-iceland-supermarket-bins-9091967.html Men charged with stealing food from Iceland supermarket bins Contents of a bin outside a village shop in Sussex Put on trial, charged under the 1824 Vagrancy Act, for "stealing" £33 of food from waste bins behind a supermarket. The Crown Prosecution Service said that the prosecution would continue as there was "significant public interest in prosecuting these three individuals". Perhaps the CPS should be informed that there is "significant public interest" in prosecuting a number of bankers, who fiddle interest rates, embezzle £millions, grow fat and rich on their ill gotten bonuses and other "perks" and benefit from "Golden Handshakes" when exposed. The public can be excused for believing that in today's sick capitalist system, stealing £33 worth of food from the waste bins of a supermarket, is a...

Fears over effects of CPS budget cuts

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2013/jul/27/staff-cuts-cps-delays-errors?guni=Keyword:news-grid%20main-1%20Main%20trailblock:Editable%20trailblock%20-%20news:Position3 Staff cuts at CPS lead to delays, errors and waste, say legal experts Crown courts in England and Wales have registered a rise in the number of trials failing because of basic administrative errors.   The CPS already makes some bizarre decisions, offering no evidence at trial or not bringing charges as prosecution, "would not be in the public interest" (what ever that means). If these CPS conclusions are as a direct (or indirect) consequence of cut backs and "savings" as seems to be the case, then strange decisions will become even more common. Perhaps there may be a case for closing down the CPS entirely, transferring the work to the Department of Justice and thereby "saving" even more money ! Nothing that this inept collection of ConDem opportunists masquerading as governmen...

Confusion at LibDem offices?

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/11/27/sir-cyril-smith-abuse_n_2198713.html?ncid=GEP  Overwhelming evidence that Smith abused boys. The Lib Dem MP was accused of inappropriate conduct with young boys   There is a quotation from a Liberal democrat spokesman shown in this Huffington post story, which I must admit causes me some confusion. The comment is,  "The Liberal Democrats are not aware of any allegations being made to the party, and have never been involved in any investigations." Now the reason for my confusion arises from David Steel's Press Office being quoted as saying on the 22nd April 1979 that "....all he seems to have done is spanked a few bare bottoms".  The quote is taken from "Anorak" and indicates to me, that David Steel's press office were aware back in 1979 that there were some questions being asked about Smith's behavior even then. Perhaps someone can clarify or explain the apparent confusion..

Why did CPS not prosecute Cyril Smith?

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/27/cyril-smith-abused-boys-police Police find 'overwhelming evidence' former Rochdale MP attacked vulnerable boys. CPS criticises 1970s decision not to prosecute Cyril Smith , the former Liberal Democrat MP for Rochdale The question is "Why did the CPS not bring charges against this odious individual?" As in the case of Savile and as in Jersey with the Historic Child abuse inquiry, these perverts had irresistible influence and control within the "establishment" and the investigating bodies and thus were able to evade prosecution for decades. There are compelling arguments to support the view that the conspiracy of silence amongst those who were part of the abuse and those who, even today, perpetuate the cover up, demands the deepest investigation and exposure. For far too long, the victims of this evil abuse have been ignored, threatened, ridiculed and smeared by the investigating authorities who ar...
