"Stop the Tommy Sheridan political witch hunt by the Murdoch Empire"


A Message from Tommy Sheridan

If there was ever a need for a powerful voice prepared to stand up for working class communities it’s now – and it’s getting more urgent by the day. After a decade and more of colossal corporate profiteering and sky-high fat-cat bonuses capitalism is going bust, and we are facing a huge economic crisis. Gordon Brown and New Labour are prepared to throw billions at the rich bankers, so where are the billions to tackle the scandal of increasing pensioner poverty, child poverty and low pay which is a curse for millions who have to work long hours and get to spend less quality time with their families? Unemployment, low pay, home repossessions, rocketing food, gas and electricity prices are the cruel punishments being inflicted on millions of us. And yet the billionaire bankers can walk away with pockets stuffed full of public money.

The Other Half Of Me
Norma Anderson

No money to spare but..
The resources allocated to this investigation thus far, both in terms of public money and police manpower, constitutes grounds for a public inquiry. Reports have suggested that over £1million pounds will have been spent by the time this investigation reaches its end. This is an amount that far exceeds the £750, 000 spent on the recent 'cash for peerages' investigation into corruption at the heart of the British Government. As for manpower, recent news reports have stated that over twenty officers have been working on this investigation full time for over a year. Given that Lothian and Borders Police currently holds the onerous distinction of the worst record of any police force in the country when it comes to successfully investigating cases involving rape, the public has a right to know how they can afford such an allocation of manpower into matters arising from a civil defamation case.
*Fair Cop?
Further, in 2006, whilst Tommy Sheridan was still a sitting MSP, a listening device was found in his car. Surely a public which has been kept fully informed of developments in relation to the ongoing investigation of Tommy Sheridan for perjury should likewise be informed as to why no such developments have taken place with regard to the investigation of a listening device being planted in the car of a sitting MSP?
*Intimidation of the Sheridans
Questions need to be asked. For example: has the police investigation into the listening device involved Sweeney-style arrests with unmarked police cars skidding into car parks at high speed, as Tommy Sheridan was subjected to? Has it involved home invasions involving nine police officers holding a woman and her infant child hostage while they ransacked her home, as Tommy Sheridan's wife and child were forced to endure?
*The state and the media combine
Has anyone been questioned in relation to this matter? More specifically, has the editor of the News of The World, Bob Bird, been questioned? After all, this is the editor of the newspaper that was successfully sued for defamation by Tommy Sheridan in 2006. Moreover, last year a high ranking journalist working for this particular newspaper was sent to prison for illegally bugging the private phone conversations of various members of the so-called Royal Family.
*Working class hero's VS SCABS
Tommy Sheridan and his witnesses have absolutely nothing to fear from any investigation into matters arising from his original defamation case. Throughout they have conducted themselves with integrity and scrupulous honesty. We do, however, question the basis upon which this investigation has been initiated and conducted. Those who betrayed their class will be seen to be what we know they are...class traitors.
*Who's behind it?
Rupert Murdoch already wields, through his various newspapers and media outlets, an egregious and corrupting influence over the body politic in this country. We demand a public inquiry into the possibility that this influence has now stretched to the workings of our police and legal establishment.

  • Solidarity to Cuba

    Source: Guardian



    A Somerset health shop selling Cuban sugar and a London tobacconist dealing in Habanos cigars are among British businesses told by a bank to cut their ties with the island or move their accounts.



    Lloyds TSB has written to customers who have dealings with Cuba saying they will have take their accounts elsewhere, apparently in the wake of threats by the US government, which operates an embargo against Cuba.



    The US has said it will prosecute any businesses that have any dealings with Cuba and also have a branch in the US.



    The Queenswood Natural Foods company, of Bridgwater in Somerset, started buying sugar from Cuba last year and has found it to be a popular line.



    Last month, the company received a letter from Lloyds TSB saying that the bank had 'recently reviewed its approach to dealing with countries and entities that are subject to government and international sanctions across the globe in order to best protect its customers, its businesses, its people and its reputation'. It was no longer prepared to authorise payments from the company to buy sugar from Cuba.



    Lloyds TSB has told a tobacco importer trading with the island for more than a century, dealing in the famous Habanos cigars, that it must also make alternative arrangements.



    Spelling out the new policy, Phil Markey, relationship director at Lloyds TSB, is apologetic. 'I would like to find a way to continue to make these payments for you - the decision however is down to a full risk assessment process within Lloyds TSB,' he wrote in a letter at the end of May. 'I must advise you to find alternative ways of making payments to your suppliers with Cuban connections.'



    The Cuban embassy was critical of the bank's move, saying the Bush administration, in continuing the US's 'illegal, worldwide economic warfare against Cuba', had been increasingly resorting to pressure through business and finance.



    Businesses affected are angered by the decision, but some are reluctant to go public as they try and find other banks. 'It is mystifying,' said one businessman. 'We are able to trade with China and Vietnam but apparently not Cuba. It seems a nonsense.'



    Lloyds TSB declined to answer questions on its policy over Cuba and whether it had been subjected to threats of legal action in the US. 'We would not disclose details of our relationships or discussions with individual customers,' said a spokesman.



    The Labour MP Ian Gibson, chairman of the all-party Cuba group, condemned Lloyds TSB's action. 'We will be taking action against this vindictive political campaign,' he said yesterday.

    £1m cost' of perjury probe



    THE police investigation into allegations of perjury during former SSP MSP Tommy Sheridan's defamation case against the News of the World has cost more than £1 million, it was claimed yesterday.
    The Solidarity party, which is led by Mr Sheridan, said figures obtained from Lothian and Borders' Police under the Freedom of Information Act also revealed 40,000 hours of police officers' time had been taken up by the inquiry.

    Solidarity said this was money and manpower that "could have been better placed elsewhere".

    I don't care what antics people get up to in the bedroom, I don't even care if Max Moseley enjoys nazi-themed orgies. What I do care about is so much police time being dedicated to a witch-hunt at the behest of - and for the benefit of - Rupert Murdoch.

    The only thing that would be funny about Tommy Sheridan going to jail would be that it would expose the stupidity of the policing system! Seriously put the resources into something worth while...I believe the force that is conducting the case has the lowest level of rape convictions in the country!!!! Yeah it is hilarious that victimising Tommy Sheridan is top of the agenda!!!!

    otherwise known as my dad :) . Scum of the world? Self reference i believe there. Innocent, pfft, bollocks. And fair point, it's unfair about the lords and royal family etc but people that put all their money into businesses etc work for it. And i'll be laughing when he goes to jail ;) ps. I'm a natural blonde, scab ;)

    isn't it just? based on a shred of evidence? there was a whole story on it unless you're not keeping up with modern day life. you are completely over exaggurating in that aspect, they appealed and "like it or not" are going to win. maybe i do have more in common. the country can smile when he's in prison where he belongs:)

    Absolutely ridiculous. Sheridan was vindicated in court. If anything, Murdoch's empire should be under investigation for the lies and slander they spread everyday in their "newspapers". Great to see Gail vindicated too.

    yet another example of Murdoch's media empire attacking those who speak out against it and the picture it presents of the world.

    I am so pleased for Tommy and Gail that Gail has now been vindicated from the lies and smears she has had to endure.

    And Bird, stop repeating what the Murdoch empire spreads. Where is YOUR EVIDENCE of your comments. If you have no evidence then all you are doing is spreading lies and slander.
