I attended the hearing at Portsmouth Magistrates Court last week involving Cheryl Stannard, the loving mother being persecuted by the State. A 'journalist', one Gareth Bethell from the Portsmouth Evening News, asked me why I got involved in the case and I explained that it was because of the tyranny of the Family Court system that was stealing children from thousands of loving, caring parents every year while the system protected itself from exposure by draconian secrecy laws.
I explained in some detail how the system works and the devastating consequences for families across the country, indeed the world. His 'report', however, contained not a word about the Family Court fascism as the reason that I was following the case, just 'lizards' and 'sons of gods' - the usual tired, off-the-peg, standard-issue response of a computer-terminal 'mind'. He also accredits a gentleman who stood up in the court to try to address the judge as someone from 'my party' when he was there quite independently of myself.
The fact that such people stand between what happens in the world and what people are told is happening is terrifying. Swing a cat in any mainstream newsroom and you couldn't fail to hit loads of them. I should duck now, Mr Bethell.

'Viewers who watch television on their computer could be forced to pay the licence fee as early as next year. Those who do not own a TV but watch programmes on services such as the BBC's iPlayer do not have to pay the £145.50 annual charge.
But Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday hinted that this exemption could be stopped. The Tory MP revealed that he plans to discuss the issue with BBC Director General Mark Thompson when the corporation's funding levels come up for review next year.'

'Debtors prisons were federally abolished in the United States in the 1800's, yet in certain states, they seem to be making a comeback. Out of Minnesota come disturbing reports of Americans being thrown in jail due to outstanding bills -- sometimes for as little as $85.
The Star-Tribune of Minneapolis profiles a number of people who say their debts got them jailed, including Joy Uhlmeyer a 57-year-old patient care advocate who was pulled over on her way home from visiting her elderly mother and put in jail for a night for missing a court hearing about unpaid debt.'
