UK : East : Ipswich cops unveil new nightlife policing scheme 12 000 people bother with Ipswich nightlife? must be mostly from all the small little villages...
45 serious violent offences per month might not seem like a lot but I reckon they mostly occur at weekends and work out to be a fair few. bear in mind these are the ones what the old bill find out about, I reckon there's much more low level violence and revenge attacks..
of course the bulk of these offences are mostly alcohol related but nowadays people combine recreational drugs with binge drinking and the streets are still angrier than 10-20 years ago..
Representatives from the town, including mayor Jane Chambers, Suffolk Chief Constable Simon Ash, Ipswich Borough Council leader Liz Harsant, business leaders, and members of Barwatch, were at the University Campus Suffolk building on the Waterfront to hear what the scheme can achieve.
They were also told the frank truths about violence in the town centre during the evening with 45 offences being categorised as serious each month.
Superintendent David Skevington said that at peak times 12,000 people make their way into Ipswich to enjoy the night life.
Work is already underway to combat the tide of crime with a number of projects in place. These include a night-time economy plan, creation of a dedicated night-time police team, taxi marshalling, introduction of a violent crime car, increased police presence over the weekends, the Innkeeper IT database and the hugely successful Town Pastors.
New initiative is poised to tackle
In what cases is legal aid not granted? A District Court judge will normally refuse to grant a legal aid certificate in the following circumstances:
Where the judge is of the view that the matters before the court are not serious enough. For example, road traffic offences and other minor offences
Where the judge is of the view that you have enough means to pay for your own legal representation
Extradition proceedings
Most judicial review proceedings.
In some cases however, where a Legal Aid Certificate is not available, a person may be entitled to apply for free legal representation under another scheme such as the the Attorney Generals Scheme.
Intent to Supply Hi,
I was recently arrested and charged with intent to supply Class B (Marijuana) and Possession of Class A (Cocaine).
I attended court a few times and was then charged with intent to supply both Class A AND Class B. they changed the case due to further evidence.
I used the term 'SNIFF' on a text message and they then believed that 'SNIFF' was in fact Cocaine. When referring to the word 'SNIFF' I was talking about a drug called 'KIEF' which is a Class B drug. 'KIEF' is the powder that comes from a Marijuana Bud. Many people 'SNIFF' this drug as it gets you high allot quicker. I was given a choice on whether to plead 'Guilty' or take it to trial and plead 'Not Guilty'. I decided to plead 'Not Guilty' and take it to trial.
Has anybody got an idea of worst and best case scenario for this incident?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Count The Costs
The disastrous unintended consequences of the war on drugs are so obvious even the UN Office on Drugs and Crime – the agency which oversees the current system – has been forced to acknowledge they exist. However, shockingly, neither they nor anyone else has ever properly assessed whether the costs of this war outweigh its benefits.

PK/UK : More British Asians from Lancashire killed in Pakistan this worries me as although I am neither from Pakistan nor Bolton (both are warzones from what I have heard!), its clear its not even religion (everyone involved is Muslim!) or arranged marriages (which happen all the time) but a backlash against "rich incomers", same as how scallies rob all the high value houses up north... (this is in fact what happened to the other family)
when your own mother has returned to her native country (and is probably seen there as a "rich old auntie") these breakdowns in society aren't good at all..
British family shot dead in Pakistan | UK news | guardian.co.uk
"The thing that is particularly concerning is the level of violence in Pakistan and how it is impacting on British Pakistanis," he said. "Just a few weeks ago a man from Bolton was killed in Pakistan. There is a need perhaps to discuss this on a governmental level to see what support we can give to people who go over there to make sure they are provided with adequate security measures."
UK: DNA and fingerprint guidelines ‘unlawful’
Rules allowing police forces to keep the fingerprints and DNA samples of innocent people are unlawful, says the UK Supreme Court.
The decision comes nearly three years after the European Court of Human Rights came to a similar conclusion.
Judges said government plans for changes to the law were already in the pipeline. The ECHR ruled that the guidelines did not differentiate between criminals and people who had never been convicted.

Private land! We have been doing private land parties in norfolk for the past 2 years nearly and not had any trouble from old bill. We tried to do a private land party on the friday just gone (1st of april), but when we got there and set everything up, the landowner withdrew there permission (we later found out they never actualy gave full permission for us to be there) and called old bill on us who proceeded to tell us to leave which we did without argument. they did not threaten to arrest any of us or follow us to our lock up and told us that if we have private land and there are no complaints then they hav no powers to shut down our parties.
I spoke to the Sargent dealing with the event and he questioned me about my car and my trailer but let me get away with no brake lights, number plate or indicators on the trailer! safe as f*** if u ask me, old bill arent so bad after all! :group_hug
TUC March 26th… who’s coming? So who's coming?
Join the TUC Protest on March 26th and take your place in history
March 15, 2011
By Andrew Burgin
When the TUC announced last October that their national demonstration against the cuts would be held in March 2011 some in the movement felt that the date was too distant. However it now looks like inspired timing.
Recent struggles both in Britain and abroad have given this march a dynamic which takes it way beyond the trade union movement and into the broad mass of the population. The march now carries the hopes of many millions and it will be one of the biggest demonstrations in the history of the British labour movement.
November 2010 saw the reappearance of the student movement as a vital radicalising force in politics. The size of the first UCU/NUS march – well over 50,000 – took most by surprise. The determined actions of a large militant minority in laying siege to the Tory party headquarters at Millbank energised the wider movement.
The new student movement emerged alongside and intersected with the direct action group UK Uncut, which uses social media to organise confrontations with big business and the banks on their tax avoidance
and muti-million-pound bonus culture.
Meanwhile the scale of the cuts was seeping into public consciousness. Benefits, the NHS, libraries, EMA, public sector jobs and practically every other social provision faced extinction or privatisation. Local councils drew up the first round of coalition government driven cuts. Throughout the country thousands demonstrated outside town halls and local anti-cuts groups sprang up organising sizeable local marches to defend jobs and services.
Abroad there is Tunisia and Egypt and mass uprisings and protests throughout the Arab world and now in the belly of the beast, almost unimaginable a few weeks ago, a mass movement to defend trade union rights in the USA.
All this since TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber called for a mobilisation that would be ‘the biggest, boldest and best event in our history’. It looks like his wish will come true.
Marches which bring hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets are rare. In the 19th century and early twentieth centuries they flowed from the struggle for democratic reform. The Chartists brought 150,000 people to Kennington Park in 1848 to demand universal male suffrage. Quite an achievement when the population was only 16 million. The Suffragettes following a demonstration of some 30,000 managed to gather between 250.000 and 500,000 in Hyde Park in 1908. As ‘Votes for Women said ‘it is no exageration to say that the number of people present was the largest ever gathered together on one spot at one time in the history of the world’.
In 1936 300,000 anti-fascists took to the streets to defend the East End against Mosley’s Blackshirts.
CND’s second wave in the 1980s saw two marches of between 200,000 and 300,000. The 1968 Vietnam war demonstration, the poll tax demonstration and the 1990 miners’ march all drew close to 100,000.
The march of 15 February 2003 dwarfs all others. A generally accepted figure for those on the march is between 1.5 and 2 million. That massive demonstration has become a reference point for both those who denigrate marching as a waste of time and those who recognise the need to build on the work of the anti-war movement in the struggle against the cuts.
The result of the refusal of Parliament to recognise the will of the people against war in Iraq, as expressed by the demonstration of February 2003 and a mass anti-war campaign sustained over many years, has been the hollowing out of the authority of that institution. A substantial section of the population has been alienated from the supposed organs of democracy and this, compounded by the expenses scandal, is an irreversible phenomenon in British politics.
Whereas the Chartists and the Suffragettes took to the streets to universalise the franchise and to fight for real democracy, people now increasingly recognise that there is no way to change the conditions under which they live except by taking to the streets. Parliament is seen as increasingly corrupt and there is a crisis of Parliamentary democracy.
These are the conditions in which this march will take place. Not only do we see a weak and divided coalition government but we see also a government operating in a discredited political system trying to impose an agenda not fought for at a general election.
The health reforms were neither Tory nor Lib-Dem party policy. They appeared in no manifesto. No Lib-Dem MP was elected to raise tuition fees or scrap the EMA.
The TUC expect between 150,000 and 250,000 to march, we need to make sure that it is substantially larger then they expect. The Coalition of Resistance has produced 100,000 leaflets and thousands of posters advertising the march. On the day we shall be distributing 20,000 free Voices of Resistance’ broadsheets with contributions from Tony Benn, Caroline Lucas, Len McCluskey and many others.
The size of the demonstration does matter. It will reveal the depth of the opposition to the policies of this government in a way no local or direct action event can. It will be the foundation for all our future anti-cuts work and as we have been inspired by the mass uprisings in other parts of the world we can inspire others with our demonstration on the 26th.

Big Rattle in Seatle, a guide to the anti-capitalist movement The massive anti-WTO demonstration in Seatle in November 1999 was a landmark event which kicked of the global anti-capitalist movement. There would follow massive similar protests in Prague, Nice, Gothenburg, Washington, Melbourne and Genoa over the next couple of years. The protest was filmed and is also a good introduction to the anti-capitalism movement:

UK : Large rise in number of women killed by violent partners Unfortunately this cannot be explained away by a rise in reporting or different methods, as this is an actual count of bodies :(
The number of women killed by violent partners has risen dramatically in a year, figures showed today.
Home Office statistics show that at least 101 women died in 2009 at the hands of a husband, boyfriend or ex-partner, up from at least 72 the year before.
