PJC Journal – Original

Paul
Linford is reporting that the unelected North-East Assembly is set to be
scrapped and its powers returned to local authorities. I am assuming that if
true this will also sound the death-knell for other similar bodies across England.

The rationale appears to be that Gordon Brown is putting new forms of regional
accountability in place through the new regional ministers, proposed regional
“Question Times” and regional select committees.

The assemblies, which were set up by John Prescott and Dick Caborn as
forerunners for what they hoped would be democratically elected regional
bodies, will die a very unlamented death. 

Whilst I welcome the day when these abominations of
authorities are done away with, a layer of government we can all do without
both for the politic and the waste of money, the Regional Assemblies are
and always have been expendable.

They have been part of the 10year NuLab smoke and mirrors pre-Europe give-away,
more of the trickery and deceit that we have seen so blatantly coming out of Brussels.

Brown will go through a whole series of policy changes that appear to be giving
either parliament more powers, or localisation.

We have already seen the Royal Prerogative give-away, but it is important to
remember that most of the powers he gave to parliament, so that they can
vote on the treaty to avoid a referendum, will be taken away again by Brussels.

It was necessary to make the break with the Crown for these
powers in order for Brussels to
assume them. By giving them to Parliament, they are no longer Royal powers but
parliamentary ones and therefore transferable.

In the regions, the powers currently held by the Regional Authorities will be
split. Some will go back to the local authorities, but the majority will end up
with the RDA's – Regional Development Agencies (European Embassies). This will ensure that the RDA’s
who are controlled from Brussels will
 become the de facto authorities in each
region. (unelected of course). 

Gordon Browns regional ministers will therefore end up as
the Scotland
and Wales
ministers are now, little more than reporting functionaries in the House of
Commons, but having little power as euro diktats will overrule anything coming
out of Westminster.

Just like the trickery, lies and deceit over the Constitution, its all smoke and mirrors. Remember Gordon Brown has been told to lie to the people of Britain by the EU.

The Empires tentacles will
reach us all unless we stop it.

We
demand honesty from now on, we demand a referendum on the European Constitution
Treaty.

Sign the No.10 Petition
for a referendum now.

Driving Change: How the Best Companies are Preparing for the 21st Century

Driving Change: How the Best Companies are Preparing for the 21st Century

A 'horrifying' number numbers of banks, shops and Government departments are
said to be fuelling a £1.7billion a year crime racket by failing to protect
people's privacy.

They have been caught dumping customers' details in public waste bins or
leaving personal information for all to see online.

Their actions have prompted 24,000 complaints to privacy watchdogs, who said
the lapses left customers wide open to identity theft.

Information commissioner Richard Thomas said: 'The roll call of banks,
retailers, Government departments, public bodies and other organisations which
have admitted serious security lapses is, frankly, horrifying.'

The warning comes today in the Information Commission Office's annual
report, which shows complaints about breaches of privacy have risen nine per
cent in the past year.

Among those accused of dumping customers' details in bins are NatWest,
Barclays, Nationwide building society and the Post Office.

Orange compromised security by
giving all its call centre staff the same computer log-in.

The Immigration Advisory Service and the Child Support Agency were also
accused, while the Department of Health left junior doctors' job applications
on the Web for at least eight hours.

There is a 'thriving and lucrative' market for illegally obtained personal
information to be used in identity thefts and fraud, which costs an estimated
£1.7billion a year, the commission says.

Mr Thomas added: 'Over the last year we have seen far too many careless and
inexcusable breaches of people's personal information.'

This now raises an important question. Why is the Information Commissioners
Office doing so little about it. ?

Where are the fines, where are the court cases. Why are
companies, government departments and banks not being penalised, heavily or
even closed down as being unfit to handle such key information.

Which makes one wonder whether this is all happening with
the tacit approval of government as part of the bigger lie.

A toothless tiger is only laughed at. The public need the total
protection of personal data by the Information Commissioner, because ID cards
is not the answer.

The European Information Society Group (Eurim)
will formally launch the exercise on 18 July 2007, with a call for
evidence and plans to hold three hearings in October and November,
after the publication of the next round of Comprehensive Spending
Reviews.

Margaret Moran MP, the chair of the organisation, told GC News the inquiry is aimed at raising awareness of Transformational Government among MPs and influencing future policy.

“We hope it can link the policy strands and
free up resources to deal with complex issues,” she said. “We want to
clear out the easy online services and focus on the people who really
need them.”

Eurim's secretary general Philip Virgo said
the process will cover three strands with individual hearings on each:
social inclusion, ensuring that online services reach people who reach
people without internet access; shared services, extending to
partnerships with groups such as non-governmental organisations and
community enterprises; and democratisation of delivery, taking in the
techniques developed in online social networking.

“We think we've gone for the three areas
that are most difficult,” he said. “They've been picked in consultation
with ministers and officials.”

Among the figures due to give evidence are
Sir David Varney, government chief information officer John Suffolk,
and chief executive of the Royal Society for Encouragement of Arts,
Manufactures and Commerce Matthew Taylor.

Virgo said that Eurim may ultimately
publish a report from the inquiry, but that it is more concerned that
it influences the thinking of MPs and feeds into the policy making
process.

The organisation is receiving submissions to the process at dialogues@eurim.org. (source)
