  • Blackburn MP Jack Straw has commented: "Nick Holt stood against me in the 2005 general election. His campaign and election leaflets were racist and clearly designed to foment divisions in the community in Blackburn. That the Conservatives ever considered selecting him is abhorrent."

  • Not wearing a bulky jacket, didn't vault the ticket barrier, didn't resist arrest, wasn't alerted by the shout of 'Armed police' which wasn't ever issued, in fact.
  • Lance Corporal Mark Aspinall. Held down and beaten in a street in Wigan, he was then charged and convicted of assaulting the police, a conviction only over-turned on production of the video evidence
  • The police, particularly in London, appear to have forgotten that they police only with our consent. They are not the armed wing of the state.

  • It's not only the stereotypical Guardian-reading liberal left who think there's a problem here, and I think it's time that Conservatives made this clear.
  • I ask readers to get a little perspective and try to see the tragic incidents outlined above for what they are, isolated and very rare examples of errors and abuses in policing
  • We all have a vested interest in a police force that is fair, accountable and has the trust of the people it is there to protect.
  • Peel and Mayne were remarkable men to have set down principles that remain as valid one hundred and eighty years on as they were on the day they were penned.

  • It seems to me that McKinnon is rapidly running out of options in his attempt to avoid extradition to the United States. It remains to be seen whether Terry Waite's statements are likely to hold much sway over the legal processes that appear to be dragging McKinnon relentlessly towards the departure gates of Heathrow airport.

    Interesting turn. This serious charge for understandable behavior has been maliciously turned into a major felony charge eligible for extradition without appeal.

    Let us again be human rights advocates. Torture is a popular debate in the current American discourse. The reaction of the US to photographs of our smiling soldiers at Abu Grahib made clear that America is no longer the defender of human rights. The reality of war is that horrible things happen. We know this. We are not alone in this knowledge. Torture is not new. The world knows this. What has changed is our public stance on human rights violations such as torture. As a country, we now condone torture openly, which is far different than merely knowing that it happens in war. Most parents know that their children drink from time to time but they do not condone it. Condoning torture is the beginning of devolution.

    Drs. Kamiar and Arash Alaei need your help. After being held without charge for over 6 months, Arash and Kamiar were subjected to a perfunctory trial last week. They've been charged with communicating with an enemy state-politically motivated and illegitimate charges leveled in a patently unfair court proceeding. See PHR's recent press release for more information on their trial and on this case.
