Dear All
The Scottish National Party likes to crow
that it stands for independence, it does, independence for the wealthy.
Independence anywhere else is not okay
according to their control freak dogma.
Justice in Scotland under the SNP is a
sham, the lurch to the far right by the SNP Government is continually ignored
by the MSM who couldn’t have failed to have noticed it.
Kenny MacAskill’s tenure as Justice
Minister is a sick joke, his arse should have been booted out years ago, he is
Salmond’s pal and that is the way the SNP runs, little dynasties with Salmond
as the puppet master.
The SNP plan to replace prison visiting
committees!
The idea is a bad idea, but with the SNP
deaf, blind and stupid, they will probably stumble on and do it anyway.
In will come two types of prison monitors,
one paid and the other not paid.
Prison visiting committees have free access
to prisons to monitor conditions and hear complaints from inmates.
This is a safety value but like many
things, protection seems to be a low SNP priority.
In Holyrood, there should be a Justice 3
Committee which is tasked with reviewing all current law and where required any
Act to see if it is still fit for purpose.
Bad law should always be removed from the
books to tidy things up when needed, it makes sense.
Last year saw the SNP do a draft order to
abolish the committees and create new roles.
Under the proposals, paid prison monitors
will be supported in their work by the lay monitors.
McJobs for McSNP cronies?
Justice Committee convener Christine
Grahame said:
“We’re not convinced that two levels of
monitoring are needed and if [they are] paid and lay monitors have different
roles, such as in dealing with prisoners’ concerns, it could cause real
confusion among prisoners.”
So, if the paid monitors cannot hear
complaints, what will they do with their time?
Be used as a blocking agent?
MSPs said they had “heard evidence of
significant opposition to the creation of paid monitors”, who would have a
managerial role over the volunteer monitors.
MSPs say this change will ensure that
prison monitoring in Scotland meets the standards required by the Optional
Protocol to the UN Convention Against Torture (OPCAT).
By having paid monitors, how does that stop
torture?
Their report highlights that “The committee
believes that the operational independence of prison monitors is essential and
this may be perceived to be compromised if HMIPS instructs and also pays them.”
So, your judge is also your advocate?
How does that square up with fairness and
confidentially?
I think it doesn’t.
One of the hall marks of a fascist government
is the systematic removal of the safety blocks which hold them accountable to
the public.
This SNP Government isn’t on the road to
independence, rather it is on the road to fascism and so few SNP MSPs speak out
against anything coming from the leaders, this isn’t being a team player but a
highly paid sycophant.
When Salmond loses the independence
referendum, he should in theory go as the loser, but with such low talent in
the ranks of the SNP MSPs, he will probably stay on post defeat.
One thing for certain, the SNP leadership don’t
believe fairness, equality and social justice, the dross behind Salmond are
sheep, mindless sheep scared to speak out.
The technical term is shitbags!
Fascism won’t go down well with the Scottish
public, but Alex Salmond and unpopular Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon
already know that, they see the polling of their failed experiment; it’s all
downhill from here.
Is there a lesson to be learned here?
Yes!
Don't put a dick in charge of a justice
system.
Yours sincerely
