Jonathon Goldberg QC supporting Sgt Alexander Blackman RM. 
Friday 28th October 2016, outside Parliament.
In support were many from other of the Armed Services. The RN, many Guardsmen, Gurkha and Infantiers from across the spectrum of the Army.  Never to be forgotten were the Service Corps veterans of Logistics, Reme, RE and the ubiquitous Gunners.  There was also a band from former RM & RN members. The two buglers play immaculately, Last Post and RM reveille. 

But the day was about Alexander Blackman and his family.

The Royal Marine Prayer - for one of our own

Friday at noon, Parliament Square in Londonstan.

Socialism

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill.

Fisher's Field Myth of covenance. Blackpool's dwindling play areas

This debate has rumbled on ever since the Council built an Old Folks Day Centre on the land.
Never once has the Council addressed the angst of their paymasters, the ratepayer and taxpayers of the Borough, but has ploughed on leaving the people in ignorance.

Not so many years ago, there was a large sign on the St Annes Road side of the Field with the Rules of use. Where has it gone?  Under whose instruction was the board removed and where are the minutes of that instruction.  If the Council officials deny that this board ever existed, the posts remain in place and have not been removed.

Since the Change in Use, it has become a Doggy Toilet and renamed by locals "Dog Shit Park"! Children have been heard to complain that certain parts of the Field stink of "dog shit".  It was in Blackpool, albeit many years ago, that a case of Parvovirus resulted in a child loosing her sight because of contamination with doggy feaces.  Who will be responsible for the next case/cases?  Definitely not the overpaid officials in Town Hall!

Innocent or Guilty

1. So Ched Evans has been proved innocent, right?

 

Wrong. You’d be forgiven for thinking this, given that it was in the prepared statement read out by his solicitor, but Ched Evans has not “demonstrated his innocence”. 

That is not how our criminal justice system operates. 

It is not a means by which the truth of a situation or event is conclusively and fully determined. 

Rather the jury are asked one simple question – are you sure that the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt (or, as juries are commonly instructed, so that you are sure)? “Not guilty” means just that. The jury were not sure that he was guilty. They may have decided that he was totally, utterly innocent, but we don’t know. All we know is that they considered the evidence, and were less than sure of his guilt. 

As I tell juries in every closing speech – if you think the defendant probably did it, he’s still not guilty.

The plight of RAF pilot means less to Auntie...

This is what the BBC thinks of the News.

RAF pilot missing after a night out in an area where Islamist's have already tried to kidnap a RAF serviceman.  The BBC cannot even mention the latest debacle and it is up to the Serviceman's mother to raise the alarm!


Shame on the BBC, the MoD and the sick media that put a millionairess's theft ahead of the plight of a Real Hero..
