SOCPA 2005 - Bollocks As Usual...

Charity SWeet | 21.12.2008 10:25 | SOCPA | Other Press | Repression | Social Struggles | World

I have been refused authorisation of my "Family 4 Life" SOCPA 2005 Notification (September 11, 2008) of my human rights regarding HRA 1998 and have lodged (Dec.16/2008) N244 - an urgent appeal for an immediate oral hearing application to the Royal High Courts of Justice as a judicial review CO-12068/2008 to order the Commissioner to authorise... what an absolute crock of shit!

STATEMENT OF FACTS RELIED UPON - repeal SOCPA 2005: a gag order on free speech

THE COMMISSIONER MUST AUTHORISE... unless he has mates who are willing to cover up his shit in the high courts.The same jackass refused to authorise my daughter Maranda last year under "Children for Peace". I showed Mark Thomas Maranda's received 'application' form from Charing Cross Police Station and his response was, "They can't do that."

Sorry Mark, and they did it twice - to my daughter last year and to my family this year as I notified the Commissioner of my intent to engage all rights under HRA 1998 for me and my two minor children for the entirety of our lifetime, on English soil and anywhere within the E.E.C. where free public access is granted.

... and now the High Court is ignoring these matters of bollocks and pretending that they didn't know what the decision letter is that they are supposed to be addressing when it was written clearly in my notes for the judge and told directly to the case-worker who also informed the bench. They requested I re-submit my urgent application by Jan.18, 2008 which I did the same day, including the notes for judge as already received... Give me a f*cking break.

I also informed Mark of the conversation I had with Mr. Jules from the CPS, in court and in front of my barrister. Mr. Jules clearly stated that there was no intention to repeal SOCPA on beha;lf of the state and the reality is that THEY ARE GIVING THE POLICE ADDITIONAL ARBITRARY UNFETTERED POWERS - WTF?
