At the last committee hearing on 19 July James Murdoch said he relied on three things for his belief that the NOTW hacking was a case of a single rogue reporter. These were: 1) The police closing their investigation 2) The legal opinion of outside counsel 3) A Press Complaints Commision review saying there seemed to be no cause for further action Re (2) the Harbottle & Lewis submission nicely undoes the confidence claimed to have been placed in their very limited investigation. Re (3), it's nice to see this submission from the PCC: Baroness Buscombe, Chairman, PCC to John Whittingdale MP, Chairman CMS Committee 26 July 2011 "I write further to your public hearing on 19th July. "In it, you will recall, Mr James Murdoch made reference to News International "relying" on - among other things, including the police investigation - Press Complaints Commission reports regarding the extent of the alleged criminal activity at the News of the World. "For the record, I would like to make clear that the two reports issued by the PCC in connection with phone hacking (the latter of which has now been withdrawn) were largely based on disclosures made to the PCC by the News of the World itself. The PCC, in common with the police, was relying upon information given to it by the newspaper. "As is now clear, the information provided to the PCC was not correct." I remember going to the PCC's report immediately after Murdoch mentioned it. That they were reliant on the NOTW's submissions was stated quite explicitly within it!

Anyone who's downloaded any of the new evidence available on the CMS Committee's page, note that the attachment of 11 August from Harbottle and Lewis is now available, after a period of inaccessibility, in what looks to be a more recent and larger version. It's the file that contains their detailed responses. [Ed: ... including, at file p39, a copy of Clive Goodman's letter of appeal against his dismissal.]

> Whereas dogs... It's a bit more close-run if you look at more of/about her work here. When dogs were given a problem configuration that differed slightly form one that they had some natural preparedness to solve, they reverted to good old digging as the way to success. :) That's in the Guardian article.

I'm far from sure of the truth of at least one of its constituent assertions -- "the root cause of the riots being mainly financial in nature" -- and so couldn't honestly subscribe to it. So I won't.

I'm still looking forward to the Continuing Adventures of Prostate Man And Supine Woman, or somesuch combination.

Via the tfl.gov.uk Live Travel News page, a Bus menu selection, then Today and entry of the route number 12 in the Disruption box, eventually got (from here): "RYE LANE, SE15: From 0800 Wednesday 9 August until 0900 Tuesday 18 August, due to crane operation at Choumert Road, buses are diverted in both directions between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill. Services are subject to minor delays. "Diversion: From Peckham Rye, via East Dulwich Road, Grove Vale, Dog Kennel Hill, Champion Park and Denmark Hill to normal line of route in both directions. "Stops missed: Heaton Road Nigel Road Peckham Rye /East Dulwich Road The Academy At Peckham Southampton Way Southwark Town Hall St.Giles Church Camberwell Ch St/Camberwell Gn" Today is Tuesday, but 16 August, not 18. I've just put in an online notification (under category Complaint/TFL/Corporate Information - hope that was a good choice) to TFL. Which way are they actually going now?

Well done. everyone. And tomorrow we'll be doing supine.

Anyone here been banned from the Dulwich website? is on the Sydenham Town forum.

It's registered to an address in Hindmans Road.

9.30 today I saw a flock of maybe 30-40 black coloured birds just north of the hospital flying approximately south in close formation at ?over 100 feet. They seemed initially to be on a fixed course, but then did some veering with bits of swift-like jinking, climbing and soaring, but still keeping formation. After I'd turned round to find some bins they'd disappeared from sight in the way that swifts do. I'd been wondering if that was a sign of their departure, as I don't think I've ever seen swifts in close formation before. But I have now found mention of their doing this at the start of feeeding runs. I hope it was that. [14/8/11 Comment from Peggy Woolley, Ambridge, Borsetshire: "Swifts are usually gone by this time of year."]

This page provides a list, under the subheading "Your tenancy conditions: antisocial behaviour" of the activities that are said to be prohibited to Wandsworth tenants. It doesn't seem to me, however, to be a copy of the terms of the actual tenancy agreements, given that the first of the listed prohibitions is itself "Breach the tenancy conditions." Nor do I know how authoritative or accurate it might be as a summary of the law on repossessions as provided for by the Housing Acts 1996 and 1985, if that's the source or motivation. First person to find a good commentary on the Wandsworth stratagem by a housing law expert, please point and shout, in an unriotous manner. Wandsworth's release about the eviction action is here.

> "Canetti speaks about death and survival:..." There's an easier to read (though still symptomatically unparagraphed) version here.

DJKQ> Will be interested to see what grounds they use for pursuing that, and if there is already a prior DJKQ history of ASB. Can't see it succeeding if there are no previous ASB orders in place though. This intended repossession is in Wandsworth, following the appearance in court of the son re an alleged offence in the Clapham Junction area. The leader of Wandsworth Council was interviewed about it on R4 PM. He said, more than once, that the action was pursuable as a matter of a breach of the tenancy contract. He also, I think, claimed that the family would be deemed voluntarily homeless on account of a repossession action brought because of the action of the son, the mother being responsible for the son's actions. On listening to him I wasn't convinced that he was necessarily on top of his material, though I'm not in a position to criticise anything he said.

> The actions of the rioters constitute a nuisance in the local area and those who have looted shops and returned goods to their > homes have allowed their homes to be used for immoral purposes. How much of that is clearly established in law, and how much is wishful interpretation? I can, although ignorant of the area, at least envisage the possibility of problems with both 'local area' and 'immoral purposes'.

>Can we get back to posting about strange looking men following timid women down the road at night pulling a suitcase A contortionist can hide in a suitcase. http://boingboing.net/2011/06/08/contortionist-thief.html Be careful out there.

Perhaps overheating? Try searching for diagnostics and some possible remedies.

Manda> And if the SNT are predicting issues then they must have some cause for concern, past experience. James Barber's words were "The ED SNT ward panel is concerned that local Police will be distracted." To which my internal response was: Who are this ward panel, where can I find out about them, their appointment, remit and deliberations?

Magpie, who are the posters that you think of as 'lefty'?

I'm taking the liberty of posting copies of a letter in the file from the woman, the sole item from her directly, and an MOD note. I'll leave them up for a few days. It may at least save the NA server some work. The other stuff is just a letter to her from the MOD and internal emails confirming no military activity in the area. I'm thinking it possible that there may have been an element of some police officers 'having a larf'.
