THIS WOMAN AND HER COLLEAGUE JANE BUCKLEY BOTH ON THE INSTRUCTIONS OF A CORRUPT SCOTTISH SOLICITOR CALLED MURRAY CANTLAY - MY SOLICITOR WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR ME BUT WHO WAS ALSO HELPING THE PERSON WHO HAD MALICIOUSLY TAKEN ME TO COURT, KEPT ME AGAINST MY WILL, TO TRY TO FORCE ME TO SIGN DOCUMENTS. THIS UTTERLY CORRUPT AND STONE HEARTED WOMAN REDUCED ME TO SUCH A WRECK THAT I WAS SCREAMING VAT THE TOP OF MY VOICE FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES BEGGING THEM PLEASE LET ME GO PLEASE LET ME GO HOME!

THIS VILE WOMAN AND HER FRIEND KEPT THREATENING ME THAT I WOULD GO TO PRISON, THAT THE JUDGE WOULD BE ANGRY WITH ME FOR BEING AWKWARD IF I DID NOT SIGN THE DOCUMENTS, AND THAT MY SON WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY, THAT I WOULD BE PUT INTO A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL.

ALL THE TIME THIS WAS GOING ON THERE WERE TWO WOMEN FROM PENKRIDGE VICTIM SUPPORT, PAT BURNS AND A TRAINEE WHO LISA HOUGHTON AND JANE BUCKLEY TOLD TO SIT IN ANOTHER ROOM, THEY TOLD THEM THAT I DID NOT WANT THEM PRESENT DURING THIS BULLYING SESSION, BUT LISA HOUGHTON TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE VICTIM SUPPORT WITH ME BECAUSE IT WAS CONFIDENTIAL!

WELL, I WAS SO TRAUMATISED BECAUSE OF WHAT THIS EVIL COW DID THAT I SCREAMED MY HEAD OFF, AND THE SECURITY MEN CAME RUSHING IN WITH A GLASS OF WATER. I ENDED UP RUSHING OUT THE COURT BUILDING TO THE PARK WHERE I THOUGHT ABOUT JUMPING HEAD FIRST OFF A BRIDGE. I WAS SUICIDAL AFTER THAT EVIL WICKED WITCH HAD BULLIED ME FOR TWO HOUSE.

THE MAN I HAVE FORMALLY ( IN A POLICE VIDEO STATEMENT) ACCUSED OF RAPING ME WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED DIRECTLY OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF THE ROOM WHERE THIS 2 HOUR BULLYING SESSION WAS TAKING PLACE AT STAFFORD COURT. HE WAS ABLE TO HEAR ME CRYING AND SCREAMING FOR TWO HOURS. I EXPECT HE GOT PRETTY TURNED ON BY THAT.

THE WHOLE INCIDENT WAS A DISGUSTING PARODY OF BRITISH JUSTICE.

I STILL SUFFER FROM PTSD. NO PROFESSIONAL BODY OR PERSON GIVES A STUFF ABOUT ME. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FACT I HAVE AN EXCELLENT SUPPORT SYSTEM, SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME SORT OF CRAP I WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE GONE INSANE.

THIS IS SOMETHING I AM NEVER GOING TO FORGET, IT WAS AN HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE. I FELT POWERLESS. IT MADE ME FEEL EVEN WORSE THAN BEING RAPED AS A KID, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE DOING THIS EVIL TO ME ARE THE LAW!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE. ONCE THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR TEETH INTO YOU, THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO. THEY ALL COVER EACH OTHERS BACKS. WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK THE SECRET FAMILY COURTS ARE SECRET? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

DEPRESSION

It is like a thick fog that you can hardly see through.
It is like a continuous pain in your heart, aching and aching.
It is a feeling that nothing you can do can make the slightest bit of difference.
It is not wanting to get up in the morning, even on a beautiful day
It is crying until you are so dehydrated that no more tears will come out of your eyes.
It is a lonesome feeling of terror, that you are all alone and no one cares
It is rocking backwards and forwards in pain, and not being able to speak
It is feeling that no one cares about you, not even God
Depression can make a person appear to be insane.
Depression is when you feel that all the powers of darkness are stamping and laughing on you
Depression is acute fear
All the prophets of God got depressed.

In the film Star Wars, the little sort of teddy character Yoda says that fear leads to the dark side.

A person who is depressed has to find a light through.

All great heroic people have had to fight and struggle'

In the Sleeping Beauty the prince had to cut down a forest of 100 year old thorns and brambles to reach the sleeping girl.

The world is a frightening place. If you watch television everything seems to be going on as normal, and the television news gives off the signals that all is well, apart from a few mad people from overseas who want to murder us all, but our Government leaders have everything under control, so there is no need for any of us to worry, as long as we remain "vigilant".

The Television world is a world of magic and illusion. The television broadcasters have used their power to experiment upon the whole nation many times. They run phone in competitions, brain tests, and because the people trust the One Eyed God they do not hesitate to give confidential information to complete strangers that they would never dream of giving to a person they met in the street.

Great con tricks have been played on television. The disappearing elephant, the dissapearing plane. The hypnotist testing the people he has enchanted, to see if they are spellbound.

Depression is a real malady. It is not "all in the head". It causes real grief, real illness.

The only cure I would trust for depression is prayer. I have had all those symptoms, and more of this horrible malady. Depression is a horrible destructive illness, it can and does cause people to die. I am not belittling it in any way, it is horrible.

A lot of people are depressed at the moment. There is always a real cause for depression, it is not something that weak minded people suffer from, on the contrary, most of the bravest and brightest have suffered terrible bouts of depression - including Jesus Christ, who wept in the Garden of Gethsemane, after being betrayed bu Judas Iscariot for a measly bag of silver.

When I am depressed I turn to the Bible for courage. My favourite part at the moment is Psalm 37. That is a great passage to read for anyone who has become depressed because of unlawful malicious vindictive persecution.

THE NAUGHTY BOY WHO CRIED WOLF

Once upon a time there was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

WOMEN AGAINST RAPE Call for responses to CPS re prosecutions of women by 6 May‏

Urgent response to CPS consultation re prosecution of women

for alleged for allegations of rape



Dear Friends



We met with Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), last month, and strongly objected to the number of victims wrongly accused of making a false allegation of rape and then prosecuted. We are working with some of them, including Gail Sherwood (sentenced to two years in prison), and Layla Ibrahim (serving a three year sentence) whose sister Sara Arthur was at the meeting.



The imprisonment of a woman in Wales last year for a ‘false retraction’ of rape caused widespread indignation. She had withdrawn her complaint against her violent husband after pressure from him and his family – she first said that he had not raped her and then that he had but that she didn’t want him prosecuted. The police knew there was a long history of domestic violence and believed the woman had been raped, yet she was prosecuted. Her sentence was quashed on appeal but she still has a criminal conviction while the husband does not.



In response to this public outcry, the DPP announced that he would personally look at all cases of ‘false retraction’ before a prosecution can go ahead. Shortly after, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) published Interim Guidance of what they should consider before prosecuting anyone for a false allegation of rape or domestic violence.



We told the DPP that we do not agree with such prosecutions, especially since police and prosecutors have shown themselves to be biased against rape victims. We gave him a paper listing some of our main reasons. [Click here to read.]



We also asked him to intervene in cases of wrongful convictions but he has said that there is nothing he can do about them. Yet it is very hard to get a case to the Court of Appeal, especially if you can’t afford a solicitor or if there is no “new evidence” for the court to consider. We cannot allow the CPS to brush under the carpet the biased decisions they have made in the past. CPS workers, like any other workers, should be held to account.



The DPP has urged us to respond to the CPS Interim Guidance. We want as many people as possible to respond too. We must show them that anything short of ending the prosecution of rape victims is unacceptable.



We urge you to comment on the Guidance ASAP. You can find it here:
The consultation period ends on 6 May.



Please send in your or your organisation’s response (and cc it to us), and/or endorse our Open Letter below.



Many thanks.

Against rape,

OPEN LETTER TO KEIR STARMER

Re: CONSULTATION ON ALLEGED FALSE ALLEGATIONS OF RAPE



We strongly believe that the prosecution of women for alleged false allegations of rape is not in the public interest. This is because:

· It distracts from the true rape scandal that over 90% of rapists get away with it since 90% of rapes are never reported, up to 45% of reports are no-crimed, and the conviction rate for reported rape is 6.5%.

· It gives the misleading impression that false allegations are a major problem when they are in fact extremely rare.

· It deters rape survivors from coming forward. Survivors do a public service by reporting dangerous men so they can be stopped from raping again. This should be encouraged. But many women are now afraid to report in case they are disbelieved and sent to jail.

· Every time a victim is disbelieved and prosecuted, a message is sent to rapists that they will get away with rape, while their victim will be punished twice: by them and by the criminal justice system.

· Victims are often under pressure to retract. In some cases by the police, in others by fear of retaliation or fear of losing their children (social services have been known to take the children of victims of domestic violence.)

· Prosecutions for alleged false allegations often follow biased and negligent rape investigations. Perpetrators are believed in preference to victims, evidence is lost or not gathered, witnesses not interviewed, statements not taken. Therefore, we cannot trust police or CPS to reliably assess whether a woman is lying or not.

· Women who have been raped more than once are particularly vulnerable to being disbelieved, especially if they previously reported an attack which didn’t lead to a conviction. Yet 37% of rape victims have been raped more than once. “A history of making demonstrably false complaints” may be a history of being disbelieved by biased authorities. Children are even more likely to be disbelieved.

· The police and CPS are particularly prejudiced against women and girls who are: mentally ill, drug users, immigrants, asylum seekers, working class, sex workers or have a criminal record. Once women are disbelieved, it is only a small step further to prosecuting them for an alleged ‘false allegation’.

· If a raped woman is sent to prison she suffers additional trauma at a time when she most needs support.

· Children whose mothers are imprisoned suffer untold lasting harm.

· Women who have been convicted for making a false allegation are a target for more violence, as they will not be believed if they are attacked again.

· An investigation can establish when an allegation looks unfounded before any harm is done to anyone. In most cases the man has not suffered more than questioning.

· When both accuser and accused are young, a prosecution is the least appropriate action and can cause long lasting damage to both parties.

· A number of innocent women have been wrongly convicted of making a false allegation. Some were forced to retract, others never retracted. Such victims of miscarriages of justice should be released and have their convictions quashed.

I THINK THE PAEDOPHILES HAVE GONE NOW

Thank you for the very good advice which has been offered to me by personal messages, I haven't published the advice but you can be sure I will be taking it.

The best piece of advice I have been given is not to publish and more comments from paedophiles. I have also been urged to carry on blogging.

Paedophiles do not deserve the right to reply.

THIS 85 YEAR OLD MAN WAS ASSAULTED BY LIVERPOOL POLICE YESTERDAY

In Norman's own words:

At 9.30am I walked into the entrance to Wirral Magistrates Court, intending to do no more than observe any case that interested me. I was wearing my World War II medals, in the hope they might gain me a little respect (SOME HOPE!) & a white 'Peace Poppy' in my hat. As is usual in these 'frisking' areas, I took the coins from my pocket & put them in the tray provided. As I did so the security woman said, "Who are you going to see? I said "I don't know" (quite true: we have been starved of information) "I will be going into any court that interests me". She said, "You can't do that. You've got to say who you have come to see". I tried to tell her she was wrong (I am a litle hard of hearing & often speak louder than intended). At this two Gestapo thugs detached from the others, accused me of shouting & (leaving my money still in the tray & my shopping trolley) dragged me round to the neaby police station, did not stop there for any formalities but straight through to the yard at the back At 9.35am, already handcuffed, I was thrust into a 2'6" square cage in the back of a van in a Police Station yard. My shopping trolley followed me, but the money never did, in spite of my repeated requests. The engine was running, a Gestapo Zombie in the driving seat, but it didn't move. Neither me nor the van moved for almost three hours, when six Gestapo turned up, the sergeant dragged me violently out of the van, threw me to the ground, told me I was being 'de-arrested' & could go. That is as much as I can tell you about Tuesday morning in Birkenhead. Information about events in court will have to come from elsewhere.
Now, all together - " There'll Always Be An England "
Norman Scarth.


THIS IS A DISGUSTING WAY TO TREAT AN 85 YEAR OLD MAN, LET ALONE A MAN WHO DID HIS DUTY TO THIS COUNTRY BY FIGHTING THE NAZI'S!

WHAT HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO? DECENT PEOPLE ARE SMEARED AND ABUSED, VILLIANS ARE HONOURED AND GLORIFIED.

GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY!

I CAN'T DO THIS ANY MORE

When I started blogging, I did it out of desperation. I was being persecuted in the secret family court. The persecution I was subjected to in the secret family courts were a continuation of the abuse I suffered as a child in a Pindown children's home. I wrote to all the politicians and newspapers, begging them all to help me. No-one would.

So then I started blogging. I have met some really lovely people, other people who have been subjected to the same sort of vicious and illegal treatment as i have, so now I realise I am not alone.

But, as you can see from my blog, and also my YouTube and Facebook accounts, the bullying has continued. I feel so worn out, and it is making me so depressed having to deal with this. I can't see an end to it.

So I think I amk going to have to quit the blogosphere. I really am so worn out. I just had two men at my door, and have ended up in tears. The persecution is too much for me.

I think that Great Britain is a horrible place to live, because we have a police service that persecutes victims of crime, we have a parliament full of people who tell non stop lies and allow secret courts to steal children from good parents and give them to people who only want them so that they can grab the Government funding that comes with them. Great Britain has turned into a paradise for paedophiles and wicked people, who know that they will not be punished for their crimes. They come onto my social networking sites, and it is sickening to have them taunting in your face. Now I know what Jesus endured when they spat in his face and mocked him and shoved a crown of thorns onto his head. He did nothing wrong, for them to treat him is such a hateful and cruel way. Jesus said that those who love him would share in his pain and grief, and I know that is true. I do love Jesus, I love righteousness, goodness, justice, peace, and I have been persecuted for no reason, as have so many of my friends.

I have been a very brave lady, and have stood like a rock and spoken up for abused people everywhere. But I am so tired, and can't do it any more. I am so sorry, but I really feel so tired, with being attacked and persecuted all the time.

I am just a woman who was cruelly abused as a child, who has been denied justice and called out to God. I still call out to God, and put all my faith in Him.
