From today's BBC of the long running Abu Qatada saga.
"The Siac court also heard on Friday that Abu Qatada's house was searched on 7 March.
Police found 17 mobiles in his house, six of which were switched on. They also found three USB sticks, an SD card, five digital media devices and 55 recordable CDs or DVDs."
What has that got to do with anything? I've got most of that stuff (he's got me beat on the mobiles though). I thought you were a terrorist when your house was rammed full of explosives, not office supplies.
Qatata is plainly a bad man and I would be as happy as anyone to see him on a plane. But given the continued failure to remove him, the actual legal case against him seems to be very weak. Perhaps this reporting of his fondness for "digital media devices" (cameras?) is indicative of the flimsiness of the case against him.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks
The case of Julian Assange is complex, involving the legal systems of four countries, murky politics and allegations of sexual misconduct. But through all this smoke and noise, it's important to remember why everyone knows the name of Julian Assange.
The organisation he founded, Wikileaks, has exposed dark practices and abuses that governments have gone to a lot of trouble to keep quiet. In the main these are democratic governments, answerable to the voter and the tax-payer which should be operating in a transparent and open way.
There is a link below to a video which was obtained and made public by Wikileaks. You may not want to watch as it shows the murder of around a dozen unarmed men in Iraq. In which case, here is a short summary as posted on YouTube.com
"It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred."
The journalists were carrying cameras which the Apache crew identified as AK-47s and RPG launchers. Judge for yourself from video whether that was a reasonable decision.
When the minivan arrives to assist the wounded, occupants are clearly visible in the front seat. Without knowing who they were, the Apache crews opened fire. The occupants were in fact two children.
Maybe the Apache crews can be excused for making poor choices when in action, although they were never threatened or fired upon during this episode. However their commanders cannot be excused for lying to cover up this incident. This is the sort of cynicism and disrespect that Wikileaks challenges.
Warning - this is footage from the helicopter camera and shows the actual shooting and killing of a number of people.

They Are Still The Nasty Party
How would you feel if your MP described you as "among the worst idlers in the world"? You would feel pretty insulted I would imagine. I would also imagine that you would be pretty angry that the person you elected was using the platform you and your neighbours gave them to insult the British people.
Well, Kwasi Kwarteng (Spelthorne), Priti Patel (Witham), Dominic Raab (Esher and Walton), Chris Skidmore (Kingswood) and Elizabeth Truss (South West Norfolk) have done exactly that.
They have co-authored a book "Britannia Unchained – Global Growth and Prosperity" in which they claim that the British are "the worst idlers" in the world preferring a "lie-in to hard work".
I am in favour of free speech. I am also in favour of high standards in public life. If these MPs genuinely have such a low view of the British people, then they should resign their public offices and make their views known as independent commentators.
As well as being insulting, their comments make no sense.
The MPs claim the British workforce should model itself on the workers of South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. Why exactly? The UK is rated the 7th largest economy in the world compared to South Korea, 15th, Singapore, 38th and Hong Kong, joint 39th (IMF data from 2011).
Being an MP is a position of trust. An MP represents the people who elected them and must be an advocate for them. This book is a complete betrayal of the relationship between MPs and the people. It is insulting, dishonourable and wrong.
Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and Elizabeth Truss should all apologise and resign.

The Member for East Grinstead South and Ashurst Wood
The above mentioned county councillor is John O'Brien. He is also (as I discovered today) Deputy Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport. Which means that the highways mess in East Grinstead at the London Road and Imberhorne Lane junction was part of his portfolio.
Now I would have thought that, as a county councillor, if there was a big issue related to my portfolio, in a town I represent, I would have wanted to tell people what is going on. Alas Councillor O'Brien is silent on the matter.
So I offer an invitation: Councillor O'Brien, what were you doing when the town ground to a halt?

A22 Roadworks Again
Hopefully this time next week, the Wickes contractors at the A22 / Imberhorne Lane roadworks in East Grinstead will be packing up their tools and heading off to the next job. We will all heave a sign of relief, but there is a legacy of this fiasco that is worth considering.
West Sussex County Council are the Highways authority for this area. This disaster happened on their watch and they must be held accountable. These aren't just the views of a political activist. Our MP Nicholas Soames has demanded answers from WSCC and has publicly blasted them for their handling of these roadworks.
Now during the 2011 local elections, one of the local Conservative campaign points was, that since Conservatives already controlled the county and the district, electing a Conservative town council would produce better, joined up local government because everyone would be on the same side and there would be better communication and understanding. The Conservatives got exactly what they wished for, control at all three levels. So have they delivered fully joined up local government. Certainly in this instance, no.
Even more more damningly, all three Conservative county councillors for the town (Cllrs Bennett, Brunsdon and O'Brien) all have seats on all three levels of local government. I realise that county councillors are not involved in operational matters at Highways and would not have been involved the fateful scheduling of these roadworks. But where were they when the storm broke? Did we see them reassuring local businesses and residents and trying to get things sorted out? No, because of party loyalties. They could not be seen to be attacking an authority which their party controls.
What we see from this incident, is that the one-party idea doesn't work. In fact you only have to look at some of the worst run countries in the world to see what a bad idea it is.
Next year, the three county seats in East Grinstead are up for re-election. When deciding who to vote for, take a moment to weigh up who will be in a position to actually speak for you, and who will put the needs of the town before tribal loyalties.

Reclaiming London Road
East Grinstead has witnessed a significant victory for local people.
Badly timed and managed roadworks at the junction of London Road and Imberhorne Lane brought the town to a standstill earlier this month. Drivers were understandably outraged and vented their anger on West Sussex County Council and Wickes who were responsible.
Patronising responses from WSCC cabinet member Pieter Montyn and the Wickes project manager were rightly condemned in the press and social media.
But people power won through. Mr Montyn eventually issued an apology for the handling of the roadworks and engaged WSCC highways staff to work with the contractors. Local MP Nicholas Soames blasted all concerned for the way the roadworks had been handled and the bad effect on the town.
Now we have the excellent news that the roadworks will be complete on 1st June, considerably ahead of schedule.
Well done East Grinstead people, for putting up a fight and getting a result. What do you fancy tackling next?

Street Junk
Last year West Sussex County Council inspectors swooped on East Grinstead's streets and demanded that shopkeepers remove advertising signs from the pavement outside their shops. But look, they are creeping back!
However, contrast the amount of clutter caused by a solitary advertising sign with all the stuff deposited on the street by the local authorities. From the left: CCTV mast, parking sign, random bollard, parking payment machine, streetlight, another parking sign, pedestrian signpost, another streetlight. Is all this junk needed? I suspect not.

We are Example
During May lots of Brighton artists open their homes to the public as part of the Brighton Festival. Programme continues until the end of May.www.aoh.org.uk
I felt a bit despondent coming back to East Grinstead that there was nothing like that on my doorstep.
So I was really pleased to find out about the exhibition "We are Example" at the Greenstede Gallery at Chequer Mead. Example are a local art group weareexample.blogspot.co.uk , the exhibition is on until 30th May and it's very good. Do go along if you can.

Our Traffic Hell
People who live in East Grinstead are used to having their requests for action on our traffic problems ignored. However the events of the last week have taken the treatment of this town to new levels.
The effects of existing roadworks at Copthorne Road in Felbridge, on Lingfield Rd and at Brooklands Way were catastrophically compounded by new roadworks at the junction of the A22 and Imberhorne Lane. A journey that should take 10 minutes was taking 90 minutes. Tempers were frayed, appointments missed and social media lit up with anger.
Let's be clear: the impact of these roadworks was made far worse by the ineptitude of West Sussex County Council Highways. They are the highways authority for this county and they give permissions for these works to go ahead.
The timing could not have been worse. Roadworks on Copthorne Road in Felbridge were already causing delays. Lingfield Road was closed just south of Lingfield. Brooklands Way is on temporary traffic lights as a result of gas pipe replacements. East Grinstead's precarious traffic situation was already stretched. Then the A22 roadworks started and the town stopped.
Did anyone at WSCC pick up the phone to check with Surrey CC to check what was going on up the road? Clearly not.
Did anyone at WSCC think it might have been a good idea to start the roadworks during the school holidays when there is less school and commuter traffic? Not really.
Did anyone at WSCC insist on 7 day and extended working to get this disruption out of the way as soon as possible? Err, no.
What response have WSCC made to this mess?
"County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Pieter Montyn, said: 'We are doing all we can to reduce the length of tailbacks motorists may experience.
There is a legal obligation for this work to be carried out, and we ask road users to show patience while the work is being finished.'"
I think that response is disgraceful. "There is a legal obligation for this work to be carried out" is local government speak for "we are doing it by the rulebook. If you don't like it, tough".
There probably will be some long term benefits from this work. But in the short term it is a monstrous cock up. I invite Pieter Montyn to stop patronising local people and actually do do something about the short term and long term traffic problems we face in this part of West Sussex.

The Open Society
I was delighted to see the speech that Nick Clegg gave to the Open Society Foundation. It was an excellent restatement of why a liberal, open society approach is the most effective at tackling the corruption, hoarding of power and lack of opportunity that bedevil our society.
I urge you to make a cup of coffee and read the speech in it's entirety here.
Clegg is to be commended for sticking to his liberal, progressive values. As he reminds us, in difficult times it's tempting to pull up the drawbridge and retreat into isolation. In fact, that's the time when you need to reform and make sure that the recovery is based on solid, progressive values.

Carry on Tweeting
I am very pleased to see that the House of Commons voted down an amendment that would stop MPs using handheld devices in the chamber. This means I can continue to enjoy Julian Huppert and Jo Swinson's tweets.
Why would anyone want to ban MPs from communicating? According to the BBC "Conservative Roger Gale said the use of Twitter would mean MPs could be subject to greater outside influence". That's very amusing in the current climate. If Mr Gale is so concerned about outside influence, I trust he will be putting in a call to David Cameron asking him to remove the over-influenced Liam Fox.

The Pupil Premium for Schools in Mid Sussex
Extra money for education is always welcome, especially when it's targeted at the most disadvantaged. So I was very please to see the following from Sarah Teather
"Dear Christopher
Liberal Democrats have always believed that education is the engine of social mobility, now we are making it happen.
Today the Government released the final Pupil Premium figures for every English local authority, constituency and school. I am delighted to announce that every school this year will receive an extra £488 for each child on free school meals they have on their roll.
Schools in your constituency of Mid Sussex are getting an extra £372000 from the Pupil Premium to improve the education of the most disadvantaged children. You can find out what each school in your council area is getting by clicking here.
This is a real milestone for our party. The Pupil Premium is a policy we devised and campaigned for, and put at the heart of our Coalition negotiations. Now it is more than good policy, it is a reality making a difference to the school down your road. It goes directly into classrooms and will benefit all pupils.
It is also a milestone in breaking the link between poverty and achievement, tackling Labour’s shocking legacy where the richest 16-year olds are three times as likely to get five good GCSEs as the poorest.
This is just the start. We know that some families eligible for free school meals don’t claim them, for example, because some don’t know they can, and so their schools are missing out on funding. We also need to find out what schools are doing that’s really making a difference.
If you’d like to help, you could contact your local school to find out how they are using their Pupil Premium funding, and how they are making sure they are reaching every child.
Together, we can ensure every child is able to fulfil their potential.
Thank you
Sarah Teather MP
Minister of State, Department for Education"

A Clearer View of Human Rights
It's a great shame that the debate on Human Rights is dominated by their detractors. The loathsome Daily Express and Daily Mail constantly churn out totally inaccurate stories about supposed mis-use of Human Rights. Even senior politicians are shamefully attacking the legislation.
So it's very refreshing to find a strong endorsement of human rights. Liberty have released their response to the Home Office’s Consultation on Family Migration. It's relatively lengthy at 26 pages, but you get the flavour straight away. Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/pdfs/policy11/liberty-s-response-to-the-home-office-s-family-migration-consultation-oct-11.pdf
Quite simply, human rights are a defence against oppression. They are the individuals defence against governments and agencies that seek to overstep their mark.
Give the Liberty article a read. It's a wonderful antidote to the current political climate.

Phone Hacking : A Nasty Business
It would be an act of incredible stupidity of the government allowed the Murdoch take-over of BSkyB.
The Murdoch empire's grasp on British media is too extensive already. The notion that this should be extended at the very time that News International's unsuitablity to be in control of ANY media is becoming more and apparent, is just awful.
Let's be clear. Phone hacking of victims of crime and terrorism is vile enough. It is now suggested that NI journalists are bribing police officers. This is corruption pure and simple and it eats away at decency and honesty in public life.
No Murdoch takeover of BSkyB, an independent investigation of immoral and allegedly illegal activity and a full disclosure of the links between NI, police and government are the minimum that should come out of this scandal.
And remember, don't buy the News of the World!
