David Craig casts a critical eye over Rachel Reeves's career, suggesting that her exits from the Bank of England and HBOS may not have been entirely voluntary. Was she pushed, or did she jump?

Global temperatures are falling, oceans are cooling and the 'Hottest Year Evah' narrative is unravelling faster than a fact-checked Guardian article, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Stop and Search powers in North

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday January 22, 2010 03:13author by campaigner Report this post to the editors

Couple of links highlighting the extent of repressive legislation in the North and the disparity with recent official reports

According to the BBC, the Policing Board is saying that there were 10,000 stop and searches in the 6 counties in the 12 months from 1 April 08 - 31 March 09.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8471548.stm

However, I see that eirigi have published more recent figures for nine months 1 January 09 - 30 September 09 which are double that number, ie., over 20,000 stop and searches in 9 months last year.
http://www.eirigi.org/latest/latest210110.html
and also in relation to the EU court ruling last week http://www.eirigi.org/latest/latest120110.html

There has been very little comment on these figures or the EU court ruling.

Its time that all this was highlighted,especially if eirigi's figures are right. Everyone should read these links and write letters, statements etc. Few ordinary people know the extent of this political policing.
