On Tuesday, the Justice Committee opened its doors to a campaigning group that has mounted a demonstration every month outside parliament since last summer, Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers. They argued that the legal profession's self-regulation is not working and that the Law Society, in particular, needs to be independently supervised. The Labour backbencher Gordon Jackson QC told them they were tilting at the wrong windmill......"the regulatory body for crooked lawyers is the police". Finally, the SNP's Tricia Marwick used a meeting of the standards committee to tilt at the freemasons. Members of parliament, she said, should reveal if they are members of this secret society. On Friday, this brought a series of revelations from the Tory benches, starting with Keith Harding and followed more reluctantly by Phil Gallie, Jamie McGrigor and Brian Monteith. But then the Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Scotland Martin McGibbon said it was okay to be open about membership. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/scotland/newsid_1796000/1796789.stm ----------------------------------------------------- "Perceptions" note: There's only one problem standing in the way of `impartial' police investigation / prosecution of _any_ cover-ups, especially of crooked lawyers, bankers, bureaucrats and politicians:- We're told that almost all crooked bankers, lawyers, politicians bureaucrats, and even most senior police - are 'masons' :- mutually protecting members of a "secret society" ----------------------------------------------------- Evidence file for http://www.perceptions.couk.com/answers1.html#know http://www.perceptions.couk.com/laworjustice.html#pedophiles http://www.perceptions.couk.com/revealings.txt http://www.perceptions.couk.com/nonfair.txt ----------------------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/hidden.txt
