Since publication of the Ministerial Code Government has become embroiled in a number of scandals, some of them ongoing.

Our new government has a particular and historic responsibility: to rebuild confidence in our political system. After the scandals of recent years, people have lost faith in politics and politicians. It is our duty to restore their trust ... We must be different from what has gone before us - careful with public money. Transparent about what we do and how we do it. Determined to act in the national interest, above improper influence. (Ministerial Code, May 2010, Foreword by David Cameron)

There is one question which will have system-serving politicians and economists running for cover:  why can’t the British government through its Treasury issue  interest free money based upon the common wealth and integrity of this country - worth trillions?

Why do our politicians go straight to the private bankers, who simply create money completely out of thin air ... just figures on a computer screen ... and when this ‘money’, or more accurately this ‘nothingness’, is received by our government, we, as taxpayers, start paying the exorbitant interest which is currently costing the British people in real money at least £125,000,000 a day, or more than £44,000,000,000 a year?

The answer, of course, is very simple and to the point.

In 732 AD, Charles “The Hammer” Martel, military and political leader of the Franks during the Merovingian dynasty, attacked and routed an invading Moorish army at Tours, bringing to an abrupt end decades of incursion by Islamic invaders.

JP Morgan executive Ina Drew has taken the fall for last week's $2 billion loss at the investment bank. He has been replaced by Matt Zames, previously a trader at LTCM.

Matt Zames is the 41 year old co-head of fixed income at JP Morgan investment bank, and head of capital markets at the mortgage bank.

As the new CIO, he will continue manage mortgages, but he will also be placed in charge of $70 TRILLION of derivatives contracts.

Prior to joining JP Morgan, Zames worked for Credit Suisse, and before that, he was a trader at Long Term Asset Management (LTCM), the hedge fund which collapsed in 1998 after a $4.8 billion loss.

In the US last month, a judge ruled that Jury Nullification, a jurys ability to over-rule the law, was still lawful and very much in effect.

This follows a case in which 80 year old Julian Heicklin, was arrested by FBI agents for passing out pamphlets which informed jurors of their right to nullify a case if they thought the law being applied was unfit or unjust.

The prosecution had accused Mr Heicklyn, who was handing out the pamphlets for an organisation known as the 'Fully Informed Jury Association', of trying to influence jurors through written communication.

The government has once again refused to publish the official assessment of the risks involved in the government's NHS shakeup, contrary to Law.

Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, said in his statement:

This is not a step I have taken lightly. I am a firm believer in greater transparency and this government and this department have done far more than our predecessors in publishing information about the performance and results of our policies. But there also needs to be a safe space where officials are able to give ministers full and frank advice in developing policies and programmes.

In 1748, French political thinker, Montesquieu, identified in De l’esprit des lois the three branches of government between which power should be allocated and separated: the executive which takes action to implement the law, defend the nation, conduct foreign affairs and administer internal policies; the legislative which makes law, and the judiciary which applies the law to determine disputes and punish criminals. According to the doctrine the executive cannot make law. Neither can the legislative determine disputes or any of the branches exercise the power of the other.

Last Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has attacked the European Union and the IMF for imposing political conditions on an EU-IMF loan desperately needed.

Last Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has attacked the European Union and the IMF for imposing political conditions on an EU-IMF loan desperately needed.

Hungary asked for a 15-20 billion loan last November, but before they knew what was happening, they were warned that any money would depend on proving their commitment to democratic principles.

Judge Andrew Vickers has imposed a secret court and issued a ‘Gagging Order” against the Oxford Mail and Oxford Times.

A concerned Oxford resident has made the UK Column aware that Operation Bullfinch, the police investigation into the Oxford paedophile ring, successfully called for District Judge Andrew Vickers to gag the two local newspapers.

The Oxford Mail had been reporting the court case of a man who appeared in a separate court at the same time as the court appearance of six men accused of being part of the main child prostitution ring.

In addition to the gagging order, the Mail reporter was required to leave the court hearing itself.

On 13 April 2012 Daily Mail Columnist Richard Littlejohn scornfully reported that aside from an incredible 5 fire appliances attending the scene, 25 Firemen were stopped from entering a 3 feet deep pond to rescue a Seagull in distress because of "elf'n'safety" rules.

Littlejohn commented that:

The relentless march of political interference and the institutionalised insanity of elf’n’safety has turned firefighters into figures of ridicule and derision.

Following the UK Column’s exposure of the shocking sexual, racist and physical abuse of students at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College OCVC, we can now reveal that yet further complaints have been made in the last few weeks. Far from prompting a major investigation into child abuse by Oxfordshire Child Safeguarding Panel, the latest complaints have been channeled back into the very system that originally failed to take proper action. Is this to protect the past failings of those implicated?

Another new victim coming forward, has also reported a catalogue of abuse, including foul and offensive language, threats and actual physical violence, intimidation - particularly to stop complaints being made, and extremely aggressive behaviour by a member of teaching staff who had been drinking alcohol on a regular basis.  Particularly serious allegations have been made against OCVC Tutor and Programme Manager Mr John Guiver.

While Moritz Kraemer, head of sovereign ratings at Standard & Poor believes Greece will have to restructure its debt once more, the ECB calls for more regime change.

Speaking at an event last night at the London School of Economics, Kraemer said he believed that this time round, Greece would have to involve bailout partners such as the International Monetary Fund. Commenting on the likelyhood of a further restructuring, he siad:

I’m not predicting today when ... At that time maybe the official creditors need to come into the boat.

Perhaps he was alluding to the Titanic.

David Cameron's mission to privatise all that we once owned continues with Bernard Gray's hushed plan to privatise the MoD.

There will not be many of us unable to see that the handing over our national defence to corparations with foreign interests is national suicide. 

That is unless you are Bernard Gray, the Chief of Defence Materiel at the Defence Equipment and Support branch of the Ministry.

Whilst acting as an advisor to the Ministry of Defence in 2009, Gray compiled a review of  defence acquisition, in which he strongly recommended the privatisation of the Defence Equipment and Support Branch, by creating what is termed a Go-Co partnership.

Although the attention of the British public has long been distracted by Media Disinformation campaigns there are still occasions when the press publish a small fragment of an issue of constitutional importance.

For example, when reading about the recent troubles in Eqypt I was intrigued by a comment contained within the article Hillary Clinton says Egypt needs transition towards democracy. The article reported that

The UK Column has warned for many years that British military capability is to be deliberately undermined and run down so as to force the United Kingdom into inter-dependence with Europe in order to provide realistic and capable defence.

Key to this policy is the weakening and ultimately, the removal of Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent, which is delivered by the Royal Navy’s nuclear Vanguard class ballistic missile submarines. Armed with 16 Trident Ballistic Missiles, which can each carry multiple warheads, these submarines are based at Faslane on the west coast of Scotland.

In the first decade of the 5th century AD, in the years before Alaric marched his Visigoth horde into Rome and sacked the city, Britannia was, albeit temporarily, at peace. In the four hundred years since the first Roman invasion, tyrannical military force had largely tamed the native Celtic population, bringing classical education, economic stability, and ultimately, even Christianity to the Islands, following its adoption as the official religion of the Empire in 313 AD. 

We normally think of history as one catastrophe after another, war followed by war, outrage by outrage – almost as if history were nothing more than all the narratives of human pain, assembled in sequence. And surely this is, often enough, an adequate description. But history is also the narratives of grace, the recounting of those blessed and inexplicable moments when someone did something for someone else, saved a life, bestowed a gift, gave something beyond what was required by circumstance ...

Robert received nine months for the alleged breach of the peace, and three months for breaking bail conditions.

The UK Column is appalled by the decision of Sheriff Principle Edward Bowen to jail Robert Green today in what can only be described as a huge miscarriage of justice.

The UK Supreme Court has upheld the refusal by the BBC to release information under the Freedom of Information Act, on the basis that it is exempt when that information is held for the purposes of "journalism, art or literature", even when the information is also used for other purposes.

The case was brought by a UK based solicitor, Steven Sugar, who had wanted the BBC to release the Balen Report, an internal report into the BBC's coverage of the Middle East. Mr Sugar had claimed that the BBC was biased against Israel.

The targetting of Israeli diplomats In Georgia and India comes hot on the heals of the exposure of Mossad involvement in the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

The bombing by an attacker apparenly on a motorcycle, of an Israeli diplomat's car in New Delhi, injured four people.

The New Delhi attack took place just a few hundred meters from the prime minister's residence as the Israeli diplomat's wife was being driven to the American Embassy School to pick up her children, said Delhi Police Commissioner B.K. Gupta. As the car approached a crossing, she noticed a motorcyclist ride up and stick something on it that appeared to be a magnetic device, he said.

A simultaneous attack in Georgia seems to have been foiled.

As Britain's policy of regime change in the middle east continues, Russia resists intense pressure from British led western and Arab League governments to withdraw its intended veto on any UN resolution calling for Syria's Assad to step aside.

The UN Security Council met yesterday to discuss support for an "Arab led resolution" to the continuing violence in Syria. Discussions are expected to continue today, with a vote likely at some point between tomorrow and next Tuesday.

However Russia has made it absolutely clear over the last two days in particular that it will not support the British led doctrine of regime change, which has replaced the out dated notion of national sovereignty.

Russian United Nations Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told the media yesterday:

I received an email this morning (how I ended up on their mailing list, I have no idea):

Rebecca is a thirteen-year-old Care2 member from England whose teenage brother Jamie was killed by a drunk driver in Otley, West Yorkshire on New Years' Eve in 2010. The driver, who was later convicted and is serving a four-year sentence, was allowed to go on driving for months before the trial commenced.

Rebecca thinks that this is terrible, and her local member of Parliament (Liberal Democrat Greg Mulholland) agrees.

Investigations into abuse, racism, pornographic videos, abuse of trust and neglect at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College have now restarted following exposure by the UK Column. But victims remain concerned that those who failed to protect them originally are again leading the investigation, and there will be a cover-up.

Photographed below holding a letter of support from his MP Andrew Smith, Daniel Arnold is just one brave victim who is now determined to help other victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

British government child trafficking for profit at hands of Clegg’s Lib Dems?

Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather is Minister for Children and Families, and is responsible for some 14 areas listed on the government’s education website. These include childcare, children’s centers, health issues, school food disabled children and more. One of her key responsibilities is “Children’s services commissioning and market development”.

The British led drive for war with Russia, using an attack on Iran as the touch paper, continues with William Hague taking point. 

Referring to the EU imposition of an oil and precious metals trading embargo on Iran, announced on the 23rd January, Hague said, “the U.K. has been looking for an unprecedented set of sanctions and that is what we have agreed … This shows the resolve of the European Union on this issue. It is absolutely right to do this when Iran is continuing to breach United Nations resolutions and refusing to come to meaningful negotiations on its nuclear program, The EU is taking a very strong lead in world affairs and we strongly welcome this.”
