November report
During November there has been some progress made with volunteers meetings. Ian Walton kindly videoed these and they are available on youtube. Other Television pieces are available via Fassit.
We may be organising a demonstration to protest against the continuing imprisonment of Charles Roy Taylor for contempt of court. He has been imprisoned for 20 months and is currently in Ford Open Prison. More information will be available when matters become clearer.
More of the media are now interested in telling stories about what is going on as there is a greater recognition of the problems.
EDM 405 looks specifically at people emigrating to get away from false allegations of MSbP - particularly in the North East. The current GMC hearing into Dr David Southall (one of the high priests of MSbP) is relevant here.
There have been some interesting judgments. One where the courts enforced a surrogacy agreement although statute states that Surrogacy is unenforcable. Another where the Hague convention was ignored. I am not saying that the decisions were wrong in principle, but instead that they are not in accordance with the law. The one relating to surrogacy was particularly interesting as it is a clear example of judges making value judgments about one family vs another - ignoring the normal permanency arguments.
Some interesting arguments about "capacity" have arisen. To me this is perhaps falls into the category of egregious decisions even in an environment packed with bad behaviour. What happens is that the local authorities hired help (the expert) says that mum is too stupid to instruct a solicitor (does not have the capacity) and so mum is totally excluded from the legal process as if she does not exist. It takes a bit of time to get your head around this.
I did ask the Prime Minister why young children in Scotland return to their parents and those in England get adopted, but I don't think he really understood the question.
The comments on the press stories are not mine. I prefer to leave them unedited.
