[THERE'S A SPECIAL ARTICLE ON BLAIR, IRAQ Inquiry, and CHARLES de MENEZES
What would happen if a child went missing in a Portuguese village and the police authorities having exhausted all avenues but were suddenly made aware that the missing child was, in fact, murdered and that his / her body is buried in a Church where the parents worshipped while in Portugal? Would the prosecuting authorities in Portugal be entitled to order the digging up of that Church for the body of the child?
Of course, in the Christian Faith, the Church is a House of God but while on earth, Jesus denounced gamblers in what he described as “my Father’s House”.
The Houses of Parliament may be “supreme” as far as the law making processes are concerned, but if a Member was murdered during a late night sitting and his or her decapitated head is buried in the debating chamber, would the prosecuting authorities be entitled to dig for the decapitated head of the murdered MP, having identified that that head is buried in the Chamber of the Commons?
Distinction between Privilege and Privileged
The primary purpose of “Parliamentary Privilege” is the protection of a physical edifice; namely, the two Houses of Parliament – House of Commons and House of Lords. Thus, when Mr. Hitler ordered the burning of the Bundestag in the run up to the start of the Second World War, he violated the Bundestag – that was a classic illustration of an abuse of Parliamentary Privilege.
The secondary purpose of “Parliamentary Privilege” is to nullify insulting and rule words spoken by an MP against another MP in the course of a Debate in Parliament. Thus, if an MP gets up during a debate on “Philandering Casanovas”, and whilst waving a bundle of papers in the air, shouted “that bastard on the opposition benches was caught screwing my missus the other day, behind some bookshelves in the House Library”, the alleged bastard cannot issue proceedings against the husband MP who accused his “Dishonourable Friend”. Of “screwing the missus”.
If, on the other hand, the two-timing Philandering Casanova” writes a few rude words on the notepaper of the House, saying “Up yours; Up your kazoo”, such words are also protected.
The Issues
However, we are not dealing here with words; we are dealing here with acts that occasioned harm and injury to the public. We are dealing here with acts of dishonesty. We are dealing with acts which undermine the integrity of the United Kingdom Parliament.
Therefore, where the integrity of a Parliament, not just in the UK, but anywhere else in the world, is called into question, occasioned by frauds or other forms of dishonesty, conduct or conducts, which if carried out by individuals or legal entity in the mainstream society would merit serious criminal sanctions, Parliamentary Privilege does not excuse such conducts, and should not be invoked, and should not be entertained by a court of law, in any part of the Kingdom.
Meaning and effect of theft
People, politicians not exempted, who steal have one aim in mind – the permanent deprivation of the owner of his property, property includes money. So when the accused made bogus claims they knew or ought to have known that they were stealing from the British public who voted for them at previous General Elections.
Stealing is often done in secret. The four men did the acts in secret, in the belief that they would never be suspected or caught in the act.
Thieves don’t often leave a note for the owner of a property that they have just stolen to the effect that they would return the property at a later date. The whole purpose of stealing and making bogus claims is to permanently deprive the British public of their property or money.
No legal wizardry would do
The UK Parliament and many of our politicians are a laughing-stock in the world today. First, we had the Iraqi invasion then, we had Cash for Honours and Blair was interviewed three times. He should have been charged but his namesake, who was the then Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis, let him off the hook.
Then we had the BIG TIME Cash and Carry over MPs expenses. There is no other country in the world that makes so much noise about righteousness, correctness, justice and political know-how than the United Kingdom. But now the entire edifice is crumbling. Now, the whole world is looking at us, laughing at us, and spitting at us.
Our Judiciary should demonstrate probity and not listen to any deceased or diseased laws which date back to the 17th Century. MPs should be held accountable for any act of criminality done while sitting as an MP.
Charges
The four MPs - Elliot Morley, David Chaytor, Jim Devine, “Lord” Hanningfield [Paul White - Chairman of Essex County Council and Tory in the House of Lords] face charges under Section 17 of the Theft Act 1968 – charges of false accounting
