Did the FESLC commit contempt?

Tuesday, Nellie Deans Piano Bar, Blackpool

THE SHOP does a roaring trade in collecting money for the troops, hoorah!! Why then does it send a chill down the spine? Is it something to do with the Old Soldier on Bank Hey Street who remonstrated to a local standard bearer about not knowing that an event was on for Help for Heroes, last night? “Where was this?” he was asked.

“At Nellie Deans,” he supplied.

Some telephone calls made and eventually a site was found on Facebook which had the party night. Concerns are confirmed. No matter how the management explain it, too many people think that THE SHOP is being run for Help for Heroes. It is not, never has been and never, perhaps, will be. It is a CIC, a Community Investment Company . The link will explain all about it but I add this taken from the CIC guide. A CIC cannot be formed to support political activities and a company that is a charity cannot be a CIC, unless it gives up its charitable status. However, a charity may apply to register a CIC as a subsidiary company. As there is an ongoing investigation into THE SHOP every effort is made not to contravene the sub judice rules.

Unlike the Committee of the FESLC.

A charge has been made against an employee of THE SHOP so all public debate has to be guarded in case it can be construed that someone is trying to influence or affect the course of justice. This is not the USA. It has been publicly announced that the person charged is innocent and all efforts are to be made to achieve this aim. This cannot be done by trying to influence proceedings that a jury may want to consider. The sub judice rule regulates the publication of matters which are under consideration by the court. Matters are considered to be sub judice (Latin for 'under judgment') once legal proceedings become active.

Criminal proceedings are deemed active once a person is arrested, a warrant for arrest has been issued, a summons has been issued or a person has been charged and remain active until conviction. Civil proceedings become active, in England, when the hearing date for the trial is arranged and, in Scotland, when the parties' pleadings have been finalised and the record is closed.

Publication of material which is sub judice comprises contempt of court, a crime which is punishable by a fine of unlimited amount and/or imprisonment for up to two years. Third party costs orders may also be awarded against the media organisation, enabling the courts to recover the costs of any trial aborted as a result of the prejudicial reporting.

In the minutes of the Meeting of the Fylde Ex-Services Liaison Committee on the 7^th April 2011, the Treasurer made reference to monies and an investigation and added a statement which could clearly prejudice any impartial trial, and by doing so implicated… I will end there in the hope that the investigating team, or the Crown Prosecution services look closely at this flagrant attempt to interfere with a police investigation. This is all the more sad when the Chairman on the night is a JP and he and his deputy are also under investigation. If they are not then any concerned citizen would ask why not?

The Minutes of the Meetings are public documents and are accessible to all members of the RBL and member Associations. You can guarantee there is NO wholesale distribution of this most misleading record.

Blackpool Sky at Night

The Wendy Lewis Playground. Can someone tell us what all this means?


Hamburgers. 55,000 DEAD?
Wasn't the freezer cold enough or had someone forgot to plug it in?

Is that what eating fatty meat does?

Or is this a subliminal message to those aliens flitting around from Mars?



If it is supposed to have something to do with the RAF Raids on an enemy city during WWII, then it is insulting to the survivors of London, Coventry, Portsmouth, Glasgow and all the other British towns and cities that were attacked by the Luftwaffe during the War. It is also a double insult to the young British airmen who died by the thousands delivering retribution to a regime that was mass murdering its way across the European Continent - or is that something that the PC Brigade want to eradicate from recent history?
Has no-one taught today's youth that Uncle Adolf was only cheated by time and the efforts of a generation willing to sacrifice everything so that we could remain free, building missiles that devastated London well into 1945. Russia sacrificed millions of its own subjects and was for a short period our ally, not the people of Germany. It is not unreasonable to speculate that Germany was only a short time off developing its own atomic weaponry and together with its advances deliver system, the VII rocket, could have changed the fate of history.

Or should we all parade under the Pink Flag, dressed in our finest frocks and be grateful that the Cabals allow us to look at the Promenade?

If you are interested there has been nothing about this "PARTY" on the FESLC web site, so it appears that the CIC now runs the FESLC, which may or may not have been the intention of the directors all along?

Dead Royal puts Charities to shame

Marine killed in Afghanistan left friends Vegas fund

A Royal Marine who was killed in Afghanistan set aside part of his insurance money to fund a trip to Las Vegas for his friends.

David Hart, from Poppleton in York, was 23 when he was killed by a bomb in Helmand Province last year.

He left a letter telling 32 of his friends he wanted them to spend £100,000 of his life insurance on the holiday.

He also left part of the money to several charities.

Newsbeat has been speaking to two of his friends, James Barrett and Craig Theaker, who'll both be taking the trip.

"I can speak for anyone who ever met Dave - what a true legend he is. He had all friends and no enemies. He made everyone's day a lot brighter," Craig said.

Argentine President insults Falkland Islanders

Those who have never experienced democracy will never understand it. If there is one part of the British psyche that is unaffected by the weak political posturing of the British political system it is the people of the Falkland Islands.

The only time the Argentinians have set foot on the islands and they treated the inhabitants worse than slaves. It is an experience the Argentinian President ought to be reminded of, every day.

'Stupid' Cameron blasted over Falklands

Port Stanley, capital of the Falkland Islands

David Cameron's comments that Britain will keep the Falkland Islands have been dismissed as "mediocrity bordering on stupidity" by Argentina's president.

Cristina Fernandez Kerchner, who is running for a second term in power in elections this September, was responding to Mr Cameron's firm stance on the Falklands in prime minister's questions this week.

Calling the UK prime minister "arrogant", she said: "In the 21st century, Britain continues to be a crass colonial power in decline because colonialism is outdated and unjust. Read more at www.politics.co.uk

BNP Wigan on Parade

A stranger walks up to The BNP man from Wigan and shook his hand. Former Bootnecks and their wives talked down to him. Shambley has a voice and his one word is pleasant, unless you are a lying, thieving main line politician and supporter thereof.

Arromanche, not a Pink Flag in sight

British children say 'thank you' to the Veterans in Arromanche 6th June 2011

A Pink Flag flies over the town hall whilst a few yards away a handful of military standards try to pay homage to the thousands who sacrificed everything. An organiser infuriates the few participants by slobbering over a ‘dignitary’ whilst counting his wages from a dubious charity. Absent are the children to be educated, yet a disinterested holidaymaker lights a cigarette and the comment was heard, “get a blow job off a tart on that slab of concrete”.

LCI 112 was crewed by a “local boy”. No standard for him. Lennie from Leeds was still not 18 but his LCG was amongst the first craft to touch a well defended beach. It is stated that Lennie cannot make it to Blackpool promenade because he has dementia, yet no-one has asked if he would like to attend. The organisers seem very good at organising farce; that is what the theatres on the piers were famous for. But like the past fiasco over the local regiment, no-one asked the survivors. Because the veterans have an Association does not mean that Association talks for the Veterans. The Veterans have earned the right to talk for themselves and not falsely represented by big mouths and no affiliation.

A Mulberry was being slowly moved onto the beach under intense enemy fire, its only defence were the regiments of heroes fighting their way inland into the carnage of the day; English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish flesh fought side by side with Free French, Danes, Netherlanders, Polish and Empire troops, yet the Blackpool Cenotaph can muster but three veterans and the son of the HERO who had taken the Mulberry ashore on that day, the 6^th of June 1944.

The son of a crewman of the LCI112 was in Arromanche, Normandy, surrounded by thousands of foreign school children, each attempting to speak a foreign language, each thankful to the decreasing number of strange old people with their medals and badges, their laughter and tears and the smiles and handshakes from those children with no real idea of the sacrifice of others for them. The son of the crewman of LCI112 stood by the waters of the English Channel, gazed at the wrecks on the beaches and perused the daunting hills his predecessors had to scale to engage with a tyrant and obscene regime. Two 25 pounders and an ancient 5.5 artillery piece guard a modern museum and the son of the sailor scanned the thousands of pictures not knowing what his father looked like but certain he would recognise him if he was there. Back home in disrespectful Blackpool, the Cabals and Committees are talking for the son of the crew of LCI112. Not a single committee member talks to him. Not a member of the cabals recognise the treasonable actions of flying a pink flag over the Union Flag, a few yards from the most sacred symbol of service in the town.

Vitriol amongst the tame Commies

You can taste the hatred all the way up into the Cumbrian Mountains.

There is not a single British political party that can honestly say the stilettos are sheathed. I know Lieber was corrupt. I see it in my non-pension and the overcrowded barren lands of this once green and fertile land.

Labour spending: Gordon Brown and Ed Balls ignored warnings and wasted billions

The document is the first official evidence that shows the scale of concern over the activities of Mr Brown and those around him in his time as chancellor Photo: UPPA/ALAMY

A confidential document presented to the Cabinet in January 2006 asks: "We've spent all this money, but what have we got for it?"

It warns that the efficiency of the public sector needed to improve rapidly and insisted that "spending growth will slow". The document drafted by civil servants also says that "ineffective spending" must be "closed down". Read more at www.telegraph.co.uk
