Come into my Parlour, said the spider to the fly

June 2019 – I’ve had a wonderful week this week. At least, it seems so to me. I went down to London . . . by train . . . distance of about 54 miles . . . which cost me £47.80 for an anytime, any train, day return ticket . . . and I had to stand all the way to London!

THOUGHT – If some bright spark decides one day to discontinue discounted ticket prices (advance booking, season tickets, off peak, etc) will the real price for everyone be £47.80? What will commuters do then? Shall we pay it, just as we’ve paid increased prices over the years for our homes and cars? Or shall we say, in effect, ‘stick it in your ear’? Companies/employers will continue to assist staff with ticket loans as they do now or lose their staff but everyone else will be at the mercy, or lack of it, of the railway owners. What a miserable thought.

I went to London to support a man from Scotland who is spearheading the drive to re-introduce Common Law Courts in UK. (www.commonlawcourt.com). The ‘legal profession’ doesn’t like the idea because there is no money it for them and it challenges their contrived status. Yet the man (let’s call him John Smith) has a Power of Attorney from the person he went to represent. The ‘professionals’ – the name given to people who do what they do for money wouldn’t recognise his power of attorney nor his paperwork and would only respond to similar professionals. 

So John sacked the original professionals, as any of us would do with bolshie hired help. The opposite side (of professionals) had to accept the lawful Common Law Court documents presented by John and, in doing so they also accepted that he had standing. John’s papers are currently with a judge and we await an update.

The case itself is interesting, too. The person John Smith represents in his capacity as Power of Attorney is being pursued by the professionals for allegedly selling unlicensed medication and claiming beneficial results. His client faces an EU extradition warrant to send her to France. (For further info please look up GcMAF and David Noakes). Such accusations AUTOMATICALLY include a charge of money laundering! Seriously! I’m not making it up. In France she could be imprisoned for two years before anyone got around to hearing her case, such is the French/EU way of doing things.

MEANWHILE – In the foyer of the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, I met an ex-lawyer who quit the ‘profession’ after she worked in it for two or so years. She discovered corruption in her profession that we outside people know little about, she said. Her interest, she said, was in the Common Law aspects of John Smith’s case. Her true interest involved her stateless partner/husband who cannot leave the country because the Home Office will not recognise him and provide him with a passport. For some reason it is better in the eyes of someone in ‘authority’ to keep him here without documents rather than let him leave. I see that as nothing less than keeping him in an open prison but there has to be more to it than that.

MEANWHILE – In the same foyer of the same Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, I met another lady (of senior years) who I identified by her accent. She had travelled 93 miles by coach, without her ailing husband, to observe and be involved with John’s Common Law challenge but her true interest was her own dispute with lawyers and the NHS over the death of her baby daughter some years ago.

I can only guess at how many other MEANWHILEs might have been represented in the foyer of the Royal Courts of Justice that day. Who knows what happens behind the front doors of homes up and down our country? Just as importantly, WHO CARES? Not many, it seems. Except the spiders in wait for the flies.

NEXT DAY I spoke to a lady who has been battling corruption in the legal ‘profession’ – those who do what they do for money – for 17 years as various of them have tried to declare her and her husband bankrupt. It’s all to do with non-existent mortgages but nobody wants to know – not lawyers, not police, not bankers. In desperation she has accepted an offer by others to make a documentary about her case which will be screened for the public next month. That I must see! And I phoned a friend to ask if she, too, planned to attend the show?

Yes, she plans to attend, and I went on to tell her about my day at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand. “Did you meet XYZ while you were there?” she asked. “Yes”, I said in astonishment. “How do you know that?”

“She (the lady in dispute with the NHS et al) has just phoned me to tell me about her day at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand and spoke about this nice gentleman she had met there!” Wow! You could have knocked me over with a feather.

So, in summary, in the course of 48 hours I’ve been in contact with or been ever so slightly involved with:

1.  A man who was jailed for six months for allegedly selling unlicensed medical treatments and for allegedly laundering money;

2.  His partner who is resisting an EU extradition warrant for alleged similar activities;

3.  A man who travelled from Scotland to London to represent her case, and was ignored by the ‘pros’ because he isn’t a ‘pro’.

4.  An ex-lawyer who has a stateless partner who seems likely to know too much for it to be allowed outside the country;

5.  A lady (couple) in unresolved dispute with lawyers and the NHS over the death of her child many years ago;

6.  A lady and her husband battling to regain their good name and overturn claims that otherwise will make them bankrupt when they are not bankrupt.

7.  And a railway company that charged £47.80 to transport me 54 miles there and 54 back, packed in like cattle, plus £11 if I wanted to park in their car park.

8.  The Courts of Justice are actually the Courts of Business.

And here is the rub (as Shakespeare might have said). None of this will improve NO MATTER WHO BECOMES THE NEXT LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY, THE LABOUR PARTY, THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY, THE ENGLISH DEMOCRAT PARTY, UK Independence Party, THE GREEN PARTY or any other party.
