Democracy v Tyranny: A new stage.

My Election Petition, M330/o8 is progessing, albeit slowly. Richard Brooks Mawrey QC, of Henderson Chambers has been appointed as Commissioner. Googling his name told me that he has presided at several such hearings, & had said that election practices in Britain would "disgrace a Banana Republic". This gave me hope that he might be that rare creature, an honest lawyer (:-). Initial communications between us have rather dispelled that foolish hope (:-(.
However, I will plod on, in spite of obstructive skulduggery by Bradford Council Chief Executive Anthony J.Reeves, his barrister, Timothy Straker QC, & West Yorkshire Police. The hearing of the Petition is to be in Bradford City Hall, hopefully within the next few months. I truly believe that it is the only hope (a very faint one) of restoring a vestige of Democracy to Britain.
A surprising co-incidence: Radio Times of this week features on its front page a major new drama series 'Red Riding', starting on Channel 4 on Thursday 5th March. It is a (supposedly!) 'fictional' account of skulduggery by West Yorkshire Police in the 1970s & 80s. John Stalker says " It's the most shocking portrayal of a named force I have ever seen". Perhaps they should make a series about what WYP are doing now!
