Piece from Irish Times, reporting on lack of computer facilities for the Garda Siochana, the Irish police. Big report from their inspectorate. Surprising absence of computer aided despatch sysems and basic email facilities.
Moscow Times article on statement from Ministry of the Interior, which rapidly turns into a piece on how to change the Ministry. Odd piece.
This is the new UK Supreme Court. Yet another panic measure found to involve misuse of powers not even granted by Parliament in the first place. The judgement as a whole should be interesting.
From the curiously named Forensic Science Technician blog. Sadly, SGOC hasnt made the top 50
Another bit of the IRA funding machine switched off?
Moscow Times back in web format at last. Allegedly a crack down on celebrities. Next layer after the oligarchs?
Im not sure it does, but anything that shows independence by a Russian court has to be worth noting. Rule of Law one day?
Fascinating “it wasnt me guv” story allegedly about sanctions busting…Why would North Korea want to ship arms to Iran? I missed the seizure of the aircraft in Thailand in December, I think…There you are. That should intrigue you sufficiently to read this piece from the Moscow Times.
Another cheery story from the Moscow Times.
Other newspapers give more details. Odd since the BBC broadcast a programme on this on Newsnight last night. Even odder that it took a media investigation to make anything happen. Dowsing plus a store theft tag, all powered by “static electricity”, allegedly…hmmm. Iraq paid $40,000 per unit, allegedly. Pass me my alleged homeopathic tranquilisers, please.
