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.

William Hague leaves Conservatives baffled

William Hague leaves Conservatives baffled

By Benedict Brogan

David Cameron and William Hague at a Cabinet meeting today (Photo: PA)

Along the Burma Road there is curiosity (surprise is too strong) at the way Downing Street, when contacted, is anxious to know whether journalists plan to write anything about Andy Coulson: William Hague not so much. Yet to judge by the Tweet issued by the Foreign Secretary today, No10 should take a closer interest in that saga, which is not going away. Mr Hague has got the story going all over again by boasting he has nailed “a big lie”. Why did he do it? Maybe someone is tweeting for him, but the result is he starts to look as if he is struggling under pressure. Mr Cameron should fear for his colleague’s state of mind.

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.
