Quotng another public list is not the best solution. Then when the author there quotes Unionist newspapers like the belfasttelegraph then I feel some sense of accountability is needed. It is claimed that the pig Hutton was an impeccable character who upheld the sword of justice or some crap like that....
Shall we go for the Guardian to for a bit of noble lord orgy?
"....Lord Hoffmann failed to declare that he was chairman of the fund-raising arm of Amnesty, and that his wife had worked for the organisation for more than 20 years.
In a preliminary hearing tomorrow, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Chilean government will all seek permission to intervene in the new appeal. The court this time is expected to be less sympathetic to interventions - which are rarely allowed.
Lord Browne-Wilkinson will chair the new panel of seven who will begin hearing the appeal on January 18. The Crown Prosecution Service, on behalf of the Government of Spain, will again be appealing against a High Court ruling that former heads of state have absolute immunity from prosecution for acts done as head of state.
The new panel will include three of the judges who set aside the original ruling: Lords Goff, Hutton and Hope. Lord Goff has recently retired but is still eligible to sit.
The remaining judges include two who are currently chairing inquiries: Lords Saville (Bloody Sunday) and Phillips (BSE). The final member is Lord Millett, a recent appointee, the judiciary's highest ranking Freemason.
Lord Woolf, Master of the Rolls, bowed out of hosting a fund-raiser for Amnesty after being told he might be on the panel, but he was not chosen.
Had Lord Woolf been picked, he would have been the most liberal of the seven. Most are moderates and only Lord Hutton is seen as undoubtedly conservative. The original panel included only one conservative, Lord Lloyd, but had two noted liberals, Lords Steyn and Slynn, to balance him. In the event, Lord Slynn came down on Gen Pinochet's side.
Lord Hoffmann's role was crucial to the outcome of the first appeal, which went against Gen Pinochet by a three-two majority. The detailed reasons for setting aside that ruling are expected on Thursday or Friday...."
If I remember correctly it was the Hutton who pointed out that the Amnesty connection was not fair .....fair enough but what about Pat Finucane and the investigations being saboutaged for 14 fucking years?
The fact is Tony, sorry MoD picked a conservative to hoodwink the braindeads.
