A Royal British Pervert

Perverting the Course of Justice and Disturbing the Peace in Ireland

Perverting the course of justice is common practice with un-elected Englishmen on Her Majesty's service, ruling autocratically in Occupied Ireland. For example, as Eamonn McCann pointed out recently; "Former Secretary of State Peter Hain gets to tell a judge who delivered a verdict he disapproved of that he's "off his rocker", while current incumbent, Owen Paterson, orders someone into prison because he reckons we'd all be better off with her out of the way..
A ROYAL PERVERT OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND
A ROYAL PERVERT OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND

Perverting the course of justice is common practice with un-elected Englishmen on Her Majesty's service, ruling autocratically in Occupied Ireland. For example, as Eamonn McCann pointed out recently; "Former Secretary of State Peter Hain gets to tell a judge who delivered a verdict he disapproved of that he's "off his rocker", while current incumbent, Owen Paterson, orders someone into prison because he reckons we'd all be better off with her out of the way..


Hain, in his recent autobiography, suggested that a High Court judge, Mr Justice Girvan, was not the full shilling when he ruled, back in 2006, that the appointment of Bertha McDougall as interim Victims' Commissioner had been made for an "improper political purpose"....In response to a Freedom of Information request from west Belfast woman, Brenda Downes, whose husband had been killed by a RUC plastic bullet, the NIO said that, "No consultation ... took place"...But then Jeffrey Donaldson blew the gaffe. Pressed by journalists, he gave a straight answer: the DUP had been "fully" consulted and had been "delighted" by Mrs McDougall's appointment.
The Lord Chief Justice, Sir Brian Kerr, now gave Mrs Downes the go-head to apply for a judicial review. Mr Justice Girvan presided....


The head of the civil service, Nigel Hamilton, submitted an affidavit, which he testified had been seen and approved by Hain, admitting that there had been political input into the process and that it had been the DUP which had put forward Mrs McDougall's name. Mrs Downes then applied to have Hain summoned to explain himself. Mr Justice Girvan agreed. Hain's response to the summons was a shrug....Another senior NIO official, political director Jonathan Phillips, confirmed that not only had the DUP been consulted and had suggested Mrs Downes for the post, but Hain had personally ordered that no party other than the DUP be consulted. Mr Justice Girvan declared: "It must be concluded that it was decided that the correct information should not be placed before the court ...


This case raises very serious issues, which should be the subject of immediate and searching inquiry at a high level."..Hain told journalists that he'd let them know if he decided to have an inquiry. Mr Justice Girvan convened a High Court hearing and explained that he hadn't asked Hain whether he fancied holding an inquiry. Such an inquiry could not anyway "be conducted by any of the personnel involved". Swearing to "incorrect and misleading information," he added, "would appear to fall within the concept of perverting the course of justice"....


In December 2006, Attorney General Lord Goldsmith announced the appointment of civil servant Peter Scott to conduct the inquiry. Scott's inquiry was held in secret...It found that while the process had been entirely improper, Hain couldn't be held personally responsible. Scott didn't reject any of the rulings, or remarks, of Mr Justice Girvan. Six years later, Hain's successor, Owen Paterson, has sent the traditional republican Marian Price back to jail because, he says, she breached the terms of the licence on which she had been released in 1980 from a life sentence for the March 1973 Provisional IRA bombing of London....Price's lawyers insist that she had been freed by Royal pardon, not on licence, and that Paterson doesn't have the authority to overrule a pardon. They have demanded production of the document, so that its terms can be established. Paterson says that the only copy has been lost or shredded.


There are many people - by no means all of them sympathetic to Price's politics - who are quite prepared to disbelieve this.Others will find it impossible to believe that a Secretary of State could supply incorrect and misleading information in a fraught and sensitive case. But, oh yes, he could.Speaking last week of Mr Justice Girvan's handling of the matter, Hain scoffed that "It wouldn't have happened anywhere else in the UK".Right enough. If it had happened anywhere else, Hain would have been run out of public life.But this is wild and wacky Northern Ireland, where normal rules don't apply, where due process is optional and, at the whim of a politician, where anything goes. Now Wikipedia, the encyclopedia describes the royal prerogative as "a body of customary authority, privilege, and immunity, recognized in common law and, sometimes, in civil law jurisdictions possessing a monarchy as belonging to the sovereign alone. It is the means by which some of the executive powers of government, possessed by and vested in a monarch with regard to the process of governance of their state, are carried out. Individual prerogatives can be abolished by Parliament, although in the United Kingdom special procedure applies.


Though some republican heads of state possess similar powers, they are not coterminous, containing a number of fundamental differences, and may be either more or less extensive (cf. reserve powers).


In England, while prerogative powers were originally exercised by the monarch acting alone, without an observed requirement for parliamentary consent (after Magna Carta), since the accession of the House of Hanover they have been generally exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet, who in turn is accountable to Parliament, exclusively so, except in matters of the Royal Family, since at least the time of Queen Victoria."
While the same Wikipedia a generally trusted encyclopedia, describes, "Perverting the course of justice..in English, Canadian and Irish law, is a criminal offence in which someone prevents justice from being served on himself or on another party. It is a common law offence carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.


Perverting the course of justice can be any of three acts:


Fabricating or disposing of evidence


Intimidating or threatening a witness or juror


Intimidating or threatening a judge


Also criminal are conspiring with another to pervert the course of justice and intending to pervert the course of justice.


Which leads us to the fact that in the instance of the political internment without trial of Marian Price that clearly Her Majesty's un-elected Royal servant and Secretary of State in occupied Ireland is a Pervert of Justice or dare an Irish republican say Her Majesty is a Pervert of Justice.

Why should the censorship of the truth that the fact that nuclear war be hidden thoughout the world, because its full implementation could kill the world six times over?? All article written in the English Language has a obligation and deep responsiblity to put and end to the six-overkill that the present society says it holds in security in case of some attack.

In fact this is the same as the U.S. Imperialists were saying that we had to burn down the next village in Vietnam to save the people. Lies by Imperialist-Camp include that they are secure by having six overkill as security. Goebells big lie was that if you tell a lie long enough the people will come to believe it.

We nonsense his talk, but comrades, has it not come to the fact of dying the world with ensurance that six-overkill will save it, proven to be the bigest lie that the orgnanic web-of - life has been faultly made to go along with. We need to dismantle the Nuclear weapons, and the atomic fusion nuclear power plants because they do distribute atomic poison polluton on to the earth. That is what must be organized, educated, and agitated throughout the planet.

Workers of the world, unite!! End pollution wars, not endless wars for more and more pollution. You yet have a world to win!! W. Morris says that in News From Nowhere.

Nuclear weapons, did you say ? Well far be it for me to speak out of turn but I have no doubt that the iniquity of the British monarchy is capable of anything particularly with perverts from the Tory party perverting the course of justice !
