From our own correspondent Monday 5 June 2006.
On the face of it, this is a stunning admission by the Minister for
Constitutional Affairs. She admits that:
1.......The Family Courts are more secretive than prisons.....Actually she
is still pulling her punches. Harriet Harman is being economical with the
truth.
If the same rules that apply to the Family Court applied in Germany, between
1940 -1946, it would have been an imprisonable offence to disclose that the
authorities were removing Jews to the concentration camps. ....It would have
been so punitive that no word of the dark secrets of the Nazi concentration
camps would have ever leached out, without those disclosing the information
suffering severe punishment......And that is the situation in wretched
Family Courts, today.
2.......There have been over 6 Ministers of Constitutional Affairs in the
last 20 years.......Why has this guilty secret only just surfaced ?
Why have innocent members of the public been pilloried, victimised and
imprisoned for disclosing the truth about a matter of grave public
importance ?
What action is going to be taken against the reprehensible civil servants
and previous Ministers of Constitutional Affairs, who knew our fellow
citizens were being victimised under conditions that did not even apply in
Stalin's Russia........And yet they remained silent ?
3......Harriet Harman states " Privacy is necessary to protect families
seeking justice - but privacy is not necessary to protect the courts, which
should have nothing to hide. At the same time, we must ensure we have tough
penalties for those who breach anonymity restrictions and name children."
But that is exactly what has happened.
The gulag of the despicable Family Court, has been protecting the perjurers
who have provided false and fraudulent evidence to instigate cases against
innocent and vulnerable parents and children.........In order to protect the
'reputation' of the court........( ....some reputation ! )
There has still not been a prosecution of even one social
worker/paediatrician/other 'official' who has provided perjured statements
to the Family Courts.....Despite there being an abundance of document
evidence in a number of cases.......Why ?
On the basis of such perjured evidence, children have been taken into care
and adopted !
The 'privacy' has been patrolled with draconian thoroughness and
punishments, to avoid the public and the authorities becoming aware that
this 'court of ill repute', has been engaged in a monumental scandal over
many years........The only way to keep the scandal from being disclosed
....is the 'privacy' .... ' SECRECY'.
And of course we know the reason, don't we!........There have been no
prosecutions of those social workers and paediatricians giving perjured
evidence....Because a prosecution would cause the original judgement/s to
take a child into care and adoption, to be seen as unreliable and
unjustified.
So rather than address the judicial detail and system......The prosecution
of social workers and others has been cleverly ' avoided'......And Harriet
Harman, by failing to address this point, can be seen to be complicit in
this activity.
But we know......The press now know!.......The public are beginning to know!
........What new ruse will the DCA come up with to silence this disclosure ?
4......Harriet Harman states " But we need to make the courts more open.
Privacy is necessary to protect families seeking justice - but privacy is
not necessary to protect the courts, which should have nothing to hide. At
the same time, we must ensure we have tough penalties for those who breach
anonymity restrictions and name children. "
The Minister admits the 'secrecy' is causing grave problems....Even to
ministers and Parliament...........She must know what happens when a
de-facto immunity applies in 'secrecy'........when 'officials' are able to
claim huge expenses, make any statements they like, plunder public
funds.....And come under no independent scrutiny, whatsoever!
But then Harriet Harman raises the priority to
" At the same time, we must ensure we have tough penalties for those who
breach anonymity restrictions and name children. "
This is indeed odd.........Why is there no mention of ensuring that those
who provide perjured evidence against parents will be severely dealt with?
The gulag of the industry within the Family Court will not be altered unless
the integrity of the court itself, is redeemed. If the priority is not to
prosecute those who provide false evidence to the court, so as to remove
children to care and adoption.....What difference will her statement make ?
The gulag of the Family Court, will remain the gulag pandering to the
industry within, unless those who provide perjured evidence are prosecuted.
Is this yet another bit of 'spin' by the government ?
5...... Harriet Harman states, " I have already held discussions with the
most senior judge in the family court, the President of the Family Division,
on directing the High Court - where the most serious family cases are heard
- to let the Press in to all cases (subject to reporting restrictions)."
So the senior most judge in the Family Divison is aware of Harriet Harman's
concern.
Indeed, the President of the Family Division is on record as being well
aware of the injustices and the failings within the gulag of the Family
Court..........No action has been taken ....Yet!
At what stage will these supposedly 'decent' men and women take concrete
steps to address the problems they know about, and admit knowing about ?
At what stage will the DCA's conduct reflect the urgency and seriousness of
the situation ?
How many more innocent parents and children will be destroyed by perjured
evidence given by social worker, paediatricians and other, ....ALL paid for
most generously by the state, with absolutely no independent scrutiny
whatsoever?
Harriet.........You haven't even begun...........Even the words fall short
of the actual requirements.
