The Great Leader is …. GONE!!

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

Update: the Wikipedia entry came back up at 23:45. Looks slick..

Tony Blair has vanished from Wikipedia.

Looking at the history file, there does appear to be a mass of activity this past week, with the entry being removed completely today.

Could it be that the Blair is the Great Leader whitewash machine getting a new version ready for us? or could NuLab be operating a soviet style leadership changeover, where the former is never to be mentioned again.

We wait with some anticipation.

SOCA an Alsatia – Judge

Lord Justice Sedley, in UMBS Online Ltd. v. the Serious Organised Crime Agency and Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

In setting up the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the state has set out to
create an Alsatia – a region of executive action free of judicial oversight.
Although the statutory powers can intrude heavily, and sometimes ruinously,
into civil rights and obligations, the supervisory role which the court would
otherwise have is limited by its primary obligation to give effect to
Parliament’s clearly expressed intentions.

But, except where the statute prevents it, the scheme must also accommodate
what Byles J in Cooper v Wandsworth Board of Works (1863) 14 C.B.N.S. 180
called the justice of the common law. That is the duality we have sought to
recognise in deciding this case.

This site draws the similarity to another agency established
in 1933, The Gestapo was first simply a branch of the Prussian Police known as
“Department 1A of the Prussian State Police”. The role of the Gestapo was to
investigate and combat “all tendencies dangerous to the state.

Laws passed in 1936 effectively gave the Gestapo carte
blanche to operate without judicial oversight. Nazi jurist Dr. Werner Best
stated that “as long as the Gestapo … carries out the will of the leadership,
it is acting legally.” The Gestapo was specifically exempted from
responsibility to administrative courts, where citizens normally could sue the
state to conform to laws. (source).

Comparative information.

Disclose ID Card gateway reports government told.

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

The government has been ordered
to disclose confidential reports into the viability of its £5.8bn ID card
programme.

In a
precedent-setting case, the Information Tribunal has dismissed an appeal by the
Office of Government Commerce (OGC), ordering it to publish its Gateway
reviews of the programme.

The
tribunal ruled, in a 40-page decision published today, that the public interest
in disclosing the reports – which assess the business case for ID cards -
outweighed the public interest in keeping them secret.

The case
will put pressure on the government to routinely make Gateway reviews into
government IT projects available to the public.

The tribunal criticised the OGC for developing a Gateway
review system that operates on the apparent assumption that there was little or
no risk that the results would be made public. (source).

All we need
to do now is get the Government to comply with the law and publish the second
considerably delayed report, into the costs of the government’s ID card scheme.
The report was originally due out on 30 March, but has been conveniently
shelved until after Blair announces he is going. The costs are thought to be so
astronomical that the plans would be called into deep question in normal
circumstances.

Postal vote rigged? How else would NuLab know the results already?

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

Labour organisers in Scotland
are already claiming victory, and getting the Independent
to publish results of postal votes BEFORE the voting is complete.

- In Ochil, a seat currently held by the SNP, Labour has
taken 457 out of 981 votes cast by post. The SNP has 322, the Tories 127 and
the Liberal Democrats 75. In another key marginal, Strathkelvin and Bearsden,
Labour's David Whitton,a former aide to the man who created the Scottish
Parliament, the late Donald Dewar, has picked up 202 postal votes out of about
700. The other main candidates have between 100 and 150. The seat is held by an
independent, Jean Turner.-

Has this election been rigged?, Everyone was aware of the
scandal of the NuLab activists being caught
filling in postal votes in Leeds, the statements from both Information Commission
and the Electoral Commission stating that the system was flawed, using unproven
technology, that postal vote counters were not ready, that postal vote requests
had gone up by 600pct in some areas.

Its all too convenient.

But to publish the results before the polls close leads one
to believe that the entire election is a fit up.

As one commenter on Iain Dale's blog stated – it's wholly
illegal if my reading of article 4a of Section 66 of the Representation of the
People Act is correct.

“(4) Every person attending the proceedings in connection with the issue
or the
receipt of ballot papers for persons voting by post shall maintain and aid in
maintaining the secrecy of the voting and shall not –
(a) except for some purpose authorised by law, communicate, before the poll
is closed, to any person any information obtained at those proceedings
as to the official mark;”

Another commenter said

“6.11 Votes themselves are not counted at opening
sessions, although the number
of ballot papers is counted. Opening sessions are intended to identify ballot
papers
that are accompanied by validly completed postal voting statements and that can
therefore be included in the count.
6.12 Candidates and agents can observe but may not interfere with the opening
process. All those attending the opening of postal ballots must maintain the
secrecy
of the ballot, and candidates and agents should not make any attempt to see how
any individual ballot paper is marked, nor make any attempt to take notes of
how
ballot papers are marked. If you or your agent have any concerns about the
opening
process, you should raise them immediately with the Returning Officer or a
member
of their staff.”

That is from the Scottish Election guidance on the electoral commission
website. http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/files/dms/Candidate-guidance-SP2007_24827-18410__S__.pdf

Anyone here live in the constituencies concerned? If so they ought to contact
the returning officer immediately.
