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.

Travellers move on to site of Gloucestershire Police HQ

Travellers move on to site of Gloucestershire Police HQ

A group of travellers have moved on to land earmarked for a new £20m divisional headquarters for Gloucestershire Police.

More than 20 travellers and six caravans arrived on the site near Bishop's Cleeve on the outskirts of Cheltenham at the weekend.

The force said it is to take court action to remove the travellers from the field close to the A435.

Gloucestershire police said it was applying for a possession order.

Assistant Chief Constable Ivor Twydell said: "The land occupied is the site of the new custody suite and police operational accommodation and is owned by Gloucestershire Police Authority.

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.
