Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Tory MP manages to wriggle off the hook

Tory MP manages to wriggle off the hook

The police have decided not to prosecute the Tory MP for allegedly assaulting his children. It sounds like a done deal to me. I should hope that the pay off does not go down as expenses in relation to his job?

Nigel Waterson Cleared

Nigel Waterson MP has just issued this statement...

"The Police have now informed me that they are taking no further action in respect of the incident on 27th January. This is a relief but no surprise - I had done nothing wrong and assaulted no-one. I have not been charged with anything. We are especially grateful to all those friends and colleagues who have expressed their support. We have been very touched. My family and I have been victims of heavy-handed policing and gross media intrusion. Both matters are now the subject of official complaints to the Metropolitan Police and to the Press Complaints Commission. I would ask for no further intrusion into our private family life. I shall be making no further comment on these matters"

John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
