I am free this weekend to have a real weekend without thinking about work, apart from 2 letters which i will draft this weekend and of course reading the training material from Wed. But free otherwise. No stress, no strain and i can probably do some real writing, not this blog stuff for once. Yeah i have reclaimed the weekend.
Christmas hols seem as if they didn't even happen. the last couple of weeks have been solid as a rock, interesting work always which has taken up most of my time apart from the deadline work that never ends. anyway no deadlines next week, so all cool.
had a call from a new client today, really good case. police stitch up, that you can't make up. the police are screwed on this one, totally screwed and i am going to go after them tooth and nail so they will be screwed if they are not already. it's just not right and something has to change otherwise this is just going to continue forever.
interesting work and a free weekend, i couldn't ask for more.

Rage Against the Tories
This all started after my status update on facebook on Thursday night when I was watching Newsnight when George Osborne (i hate that guy) was talking about how he would basically ruin everyones lives if he gets into power. his plan is to make severe cuts to public spending and raise taxes so high that the majority of the public would be homeless within the year. and this while he is wearing a £3000 suit and living in multi-million pound house.
he just has no connection to reality, and no Tory MP really has and that is the main problem with that party. they are rascists beyond belief, they always have been and that to me is the main issue i have with them. if you look at their shadow cabinet you wouldn't see anyone that is not white and blue eyed. they are elitist and they always will be and will never change and therefore can never be trusted or relied upon to lead the country.
so from my frustation from hearing his voice and seeing his ugly face. i normally turn the tv off when his ugly face is on it (i just can't stand him) i just updated my status and got a couple of responses to it, which i wasn't expecting and the rest is history.
Rage against the Tories was born!!!!

It was set up on Saturday and already has nearly 300 members. This issue is important and there are loads of people out there that feel the same. Hopefully the group will contribute to ensuring that Tories are kept out of No.10.

The arrest warrant!
I was the week beginning 14 Decemeber 2009 i think it was the Tuesday and the office is receiving calls from Isreal regarding the arrest warrant for Tzipi Livni who was going to attend a meeting in London the weekend before.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/14/tzipi-livni-israel-gaza-arrest
anyway the journalist was demanding where is he? he being the senior partner who was at court in the morning of that day.
they thought that the firm had got the warrant issued againts her. i wish they did but no it was another firm and good for them, if these kinds of actions are going to be taken against poor and helpless people then yeah you're not welcome here and if you do come your going to pay for the war crimes you committed.
i'm glad it stopped her coming. but will that pressure be mounted again? maybe not now as private arrest warrants can only be issued by the attorney general. but the points been made, war criminals are not welcome in the UK and even though there might be restrictions on arrest warrants don't think there aren't other ways for war criminals to pay.
there are a lot a people out there who are not happy with war criminals walking around and thinking that they are just going to get away with it. you're time will come.

Stop and Search
This week saw a victory for everyone who has and would have been stopped under s.44 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Although the power to stop and search without reasonable grounds was given to the police for a specific purpose. They started to abuse the power and stop anyone and everyone they wanted to. It's a shame that even though the breaches of this act were apparent for years the police and the government couldn't have taken steps to ensure that the power wasn't abused by police officers and it had to take nearly 6 years for this jugdement to be handed down. the government will amendment the section if their appeal is dismissed to make the use of the power more tigher. but could the government not have amended it before so that the public for the last 6 years didn't need to be treated like suspects just because they decided to walk in the streets? tp://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/issues/6-free-speech/s44-terrorism-act/index.shtml
just on another note about Liberty. It is one of the cornerstone organisations of this country and needs more support for us. so please join them and support them.

2010.
Tomorrow is the new working year of 2010. a decade has gone past but little to no change has happened in the last ten years. mostly because we have been distracted by the numerous and no end in- sight conflicts that we can't stop becoming part of. hopefully 2010 will start a new decade and a new start for all of us and more of a reflection on improving and changing public services. well you probably know what i'm most concerned about, the police service!
there needs to be an improvement in the way that the police are perceived and that is by the way the police act. i was reading in the guardain this week following Jack Straw's comment on the police, that the police service has not seen any change or reform for the last 40 years. Maybe 2010 is the time for that reform and shake up so that there is a renewed way in which police officers behave when they carry our their duties.

Another change that needs to be made is regarding the Acpo domestic extremists unit. The article in the guardian highlighted this issue.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/26/police-challenged-protest-files
I can't seem to find the Court of Appeal case this article refers to but there is an entry on Wikipedia which refers to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_Intelligence_Team and you have to watch this http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2009/dec/11/photographs-police-anti-terrorism-laws the police don't like it when the tables are turned and their photos and details are requested. Did you see how the officer hesitated when showing his badge?
Nearly forgot new rules on how long the police can keep the DNA of innocent people on their database. at the moment it's a postcode lottery whether your request will be granted or not. otherwise 6 years but this will be looked at and in the next 6 months we should have clear outlines.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/libertycentral/2009/dec/31/dna-retention-public-police
