I have received your 2 page letter from The Registrar, dated 19 August 2004, along with application form.  This was in response to my letter ref. ECHR 13Aug 04.  It tells the essence of the case in few words.  I ask that you  read it again before reading the detail which follows.  (Because my brain makes too many mistakes when writing by hand, I have written the bare minimum on the Application Form itself, & expand the details in this document, which is in the same format). 

PREFACE.   This is much more important than one individual case, MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY OWN FATE!  Proud to be British for 70 years, it is with shame, sadness & sorrow that I inform you that Britain has become a ruthless, lawless & merciless Police State, with total contempt for it's own laws, International Conventions, common humanity or natural justice.  Only a nauseating pretence remains.  

Drafted under great difficulty, this document may need additions & amendments, but at the age of 78 (the oldest man in prison), I may not survive long enough.  So, I send it as it is, hopefully with more to follow.

APPLICATION

I.  THE PARTIES

A.  THE APPLICANT:  1. Surname:  SCARTH.     2. First name: NORMAN.    Male.     3. Nationality:   BRITISH.

4.  Profession: Retired farmer, now full time exposer of corruption.        5. Date & place of birth:  9th October 1925.  England.

6. Permanent address:  In some English prison or other, until I die in one of them.   7. Tel. No. -----------.                                          

8. Present address (if different from 6).  Currently Political Prisoner GV 5409, Her Majesty's Prison Wolds Gulag, BROUGH, HU15 2JZ, East Yorkshire, England.      9. Representative:  None .      10, 11, & 12:  Not applicable.

B.  THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTY    13.  THE UNITED KINGDOM.

II.  STATEMENT OF THE FACTS    14. 

(a).    For more than five years I have suffered continuing terror, physical brutality & unrelenting mental torture from the United Kingdom Government, up to & including the present day, in gross, blatant, deliberate & continuing violations of the European Convention of  Human Rights & Fundamental Freedoms:  

(b).  The violations have been able to continue so long because, following the desperate call for help in my document "WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?" (9th August 1999) (copy enclosed), I became one of  'The Disappeared' - as in George Orwell's '1984'.  I became an 'unperson', ceased to exist - except to be destroyed, which task is almost completed.   There came not help, but brutality & depravity beyond belief!  It has continued ever since, & is STILL continuing!

(c).  There are many more facts than I have time to detail here, but in truth, little detail is needed, any more than one needs a Laboratory Report to know whether an egg is bad.  The stench is unmistakable.  Equally so is the stench of corruption.  One fact alone should be enough: - the savagery of the sentence imposed on me at my grotesque Kangaroo Court 'trial' (the Press, my witnesses & my evidence banned),.  It indicates pure malice, from Judge Bentley, & those who have followed since.  To understand the malice, please read my document, 'WW2; The Cause, the End, & the Seizing of ABSOLUTE POWER by a new 'Master Race', which will follow in a day or two (I do not want to distract you from reading V,19).   

(d).  The press being banned, Bentley made no attempt to hide his hatred for the Litigant In Person, me in particular.  When I protested at his gross misconduct, he had me dragged brutally back to the cells on three occasions.  This is a man who wears a poppy on Armistice Day, in memory of those who fought & died in WW2, & to give thanks to those who fought & survived (as I did)

(e).  Most blatant, provable perjury was not only allowed by Judge Bentley, but he himself repeated it to the (specially selected) jury, & virtually directed them to find me guilty.  They gave him the verdict he wanted.  He then gave me a TEN YEAR SENTENCE - for a first 'offence'  - at the age of 75 (then) - after a long lifetime of honourable service to my King, my Queen & my Country.  My record is infinitely better than those who are determined I will never get out of prison alive.

(f).  Others who have inflicted injuries similar to that alleged against me have been sentenced to Probation, Community Service, Suspended Sentence, three months, six months etc.  Even those who have deliberately killed with extreme violence have been free from prison in less than two years (see newspaper reports).   I have killed nobody, attacked nobody, though it is true that one of War Criminal Blair's Secret Police assassins who smashed into my home to attack ME did suffer a minor injury.  (My document 'In Fear' is most relevant.  It too will sent in a day or two).

(g).  It is a tragedy for Europe & the world that Britain, which had a major part in drafting the European Convention on Human Rights, has in the intervening years become a ruthless, lawless & merciless Police State, differing from that of Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich, Goebbels & Co. only in that the victims are fewer - as yet - & that they had a degree of honesty.  They declared their intentions, whereas Britain hides behind a nauseating pretence of Democracy, Freedom, Justice & the Rule of Law. 

(h).  At 78, the oldest man in prison, my expectation of life - already limited - is rapidly being reduced by mistreatment in prison, & I ask that you treat this as urgent.  The favourite victim of the new Master Race which controls Britain is the Litigant In Person (the person who goes to court without a lawyer). 

(i).  The legal professionals (from top to bottom!), are consumed with a hatred for the LIP which equals that of the Nazis for the Jews.  Being Honorary Secretary of The Litigants In Person Society I have much more experience than just my own.  One would hope for a lessening of that hatred when the lawyer swears the Judicial Oath.  Sadly no, it increases, & he has the power to indulge it.  That being so, no LIP in Britain will ever find a tribunal which is 'Independent & Impartial', as required by Article 6. 

(j).  I am hated 10 fold:  For my 1997 General Election Manifesto; my book CAUSE FOR CONCERN, (with evidence of 'fraud in the legal system') - (see letter from Paul Boateng, enclosed);  for my single handed success in the ECtHR (33745/96), bringing a vital change in British law (incorporated into the 1998 Human Rights Act);  for giving lessons in law & a beating to Lord Woolf (then Master of the Rolls) in the Civil Appeal Court in March/June 1999, when I boldly told him, Lord Justice Otton & LJ Ward: "Her Majesty the Queen, whose courts these are, is badly served by the shysters who now infest the judiciary"; for being Hon. Sec. of the Litigants In Person Society; for being a Founder Member of the Article 6 Group; & because I intended to stand against Prime Minister Blair at the 2001 General Election.  I WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!    The claim by lawyers that 'judges bend over backwards to help the LIP' is not made true by constant repetition. 

(k).  The hatred of the LIP from lawyers, though inexcusable IS understandable, in that he is doing work which they believe should be theirs.  Less understandable (at first),  the Prison Service (that other branch of the Police State) shares that hatred.  They dislike any prisoner who claims to be innocent (anxious not to lose the £35,000 a year he brings to them), but they especially dislike the one who tries to prove it without a lawyer.   

(l).  Prison Service management, like the courts, use fiendish means to block, frustrate or delay his appeal, or other court actions which can bring the truth to light.  Deliberate delay to anyone is deplorable, to someone of my age it is diabolical, the purpose being  to delay until my death, to ensure the serious crime against my by this Police State will never come to light. 

(m).  The Prison Service has total contempt for the their own rules, the law of the land, & the UNITED NATION STANDARD MINIMUM RULES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.  Serious breaches of those rules occur every day, to a criminal degree.  Not surprising, in that few prison officers, from Governors downwards, have even heard of the UNSMR - much less abide by them! 

(n).  Those rules are excellent in many ways, but there are glaring omissions.  They assume that EVERY prisoner is a criminal, when there are all too many in Britain who are completely innocent.  Some are convicted because of  mistakes by the police, the Crown Prosecutions Service, or the courts, but many of the 'mistakes' are deliberate!

(o).  Lord Denning was rated (by some!) as the finest judge of the last hundred years, but he made many diabolical rulings & statements, in gross contempt of his own Judicial Oath, & that of the Queen, in whose name our judges purport to act.  Denning said "Better that innocent men should remain in prison than that the integrity of the judiciary be impugned".  Perhaps that was when the rot set in?  Regrettably, ALL our judges follow that creed, protecting each other, to ensure the 'integrity' of none of them is 'impugned', declaring themselves to be Gods, incapable of sin (i.e.'bias').  The Queen's Coronation Oath, sworn before Almighty God, was "TO DELIVER JUSTICE WITH MERCY".

(p).  In his book 'L'esprit des lois', the noted French jurist Baron de l' Montesquieu defined the three elements of State power: 'The Legislature, the Executive, & The Judiciary'.  He is often quoted.  NOT quoted is his rider "Judges must be controlled because of their venality".  See also the words of Thomas Jefferson about British judges, after his new nation had become free of them!

(q).  Another ruling by Denning (in Sirros v Moore) was: "No matter that (a judge) be motivated by the utmost malice, greed, envy, & all uncharitableness, he is not liable to any action".   This self proclaimed immunity was falsely proclaimed, but accepted as the word of God ever since.

(s).  So - WHO JUDGES THE JUDGES?  Regrettably, the ECtHR will not do so.  It appears that the ECtHR follows the diabolical creed of Lord Denning as staunchly as do our own courts.  Your own '40 Year Survey' showed that (apart from the odd Court Martial) not one case complaining of the 'bias' of a British judge has even reached the Court, much less been decided.  I personally know at least 20 LIPs who tried to complain on those grounds (& there must be hundreds), but ALL were blocked & kept out by the British lawyers who acted as gatekeepers for the discredited & now defunct Commission.

(t).  Success as a LIP in my earlier case (33745/96) does not disprove it, but in fact gave me much to confirm it.  Karen Reid (one of the 'gatekeepers') even refused my request for an Application Form -  taking it upon herself to tell me the case had no chance!   Many would give up at that stage, but I asked a lawyer to write on my behalf.  He admitted he had no experience with ECtHR cases, & had to borrow my books, but he did write, using the same words as me.   He got the form by return, & my eventual success proved Karen Reid's gratuitous opinion to be wrong.. 

(u).  Only by persistence (& paying out £100 to the lawyer!) was I able to get past the obstruction, & eventually become successful, bringing a much needed change in British law.  Though successful in that one important part, the Commission completely ignored the most important part - serious misconduct by judges.  They invited me to send any new evidence, & I did send some which was cast iron, but the Commission completely ignored that too, following the practice of our own courts when challenged on that which is unanswerable!

(v).  In April 1999 I put forward another complaint.  It was declared admissible, & given the case No. 48911/99(?) (or 49811/99?).  Blocking this new - & much more important case - was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the potentially lethal terror  attack of 8th August 1999.  It failed to silence me completely, but - suffering unofficial, unlawful, but very effective House Arrest (imprisoned by fear) - I was not able to concentrate on this new case, unable to counter the obstruction coming from a different direction 

(w).  It came from J.S.Phillips (I think that was the name) in Strasbourg, who was trying to have the case struck out.  When I spoke to him on the telephone, telling him of the terror attack, he showed not the slightest concern..  When I said that my success in 33745/96, indicated that I do not make frivolous complaints, his voice had note of  triumph as he said "Ah, but you only won part of it!" 

(x).  The oldest man in an English prison, soon to be 79, I may not survive long enough, or retain strength enough  to complete this Application, particularly being obstructed, frustrated & delayed by the Prison Service.  Accordingly I will send it in instalments - THOUGH HOPING THAT THE INFORMATION SO FAR MIGHT BE ENOUGH!.

III.  STATEMENT OF ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF THE CONVENTION &/OR PROTOCOLS & OF RELEVANT ARGUMENTS

15.  ARTICLES 1; 2, (imminent), 3; 6; 13,14, 17,18, 34 & 53 of the Convention, & Article 3 of The First Protocol.  Furthermore, in consequence of those violations I have suffered violations of Article 5;  7; 8; 10 & 11 of the Convention itself; Article 1, 3 & 5 of The First Protocol; Article 2 of Protocol 4;  Article 2 of Protocol 7;  Article 1 of Protocol 12. 

Relevant Arguments?  Because my life expectation is so very  short, I do not have time to list the relevant arguments.  I hope they are self evident.  If I survive, I will try to list them in a later instalment.

IV.  STATEMENT RELATIVE TO ARTICLE 35 SS 1 OF THE CONVENTION.  Final decision (date, court or authority & nature of decision).

16.  Order of the Court of Criminal Appeal,  22/1/2004, refusing my appeal against sentence. 

The Appeal Court did not tell me that the 'hearing' was to take place, nor that it had taken place.  Not until 20 July 2004 did I see the Order, when a copy was sent to me by the Judicial Office of the House of Lords with their letter dated 19 July 2004.

17.  Other decisions (list in chronological order, giving date, court or authority & nature of decision for each of them).

As stated already, the far too many transfers (designed to disorientate me), disorientate me), gave the Prison Service opportunity to steal many of my documents.  My life expectation being very short, I do not have time to try to recover them & list them all.  They started with my conviction on 27 April 2001, at a grotesque Kangaroo Court 'trial', until the latest one, as in 16 (above).

18.  Is there any other appeal or other remedy available to you which you have not used?  I have TRIED to use several,  but have been ignored or rebuffed.  See VI  (20).

V.  19.  STATEMENT OF THE OBJECT OF THE APPLICATION.

To open this festering can of worms as soon as possible (it WILL explode one day!) I suggest you start with my document "WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME?" (9/8/99, enclosed).  There came not help, but brutality & depravity beyond belief, continuing ever since, right up to the present day!  There has been collusion (tacit or otherwise) between the Police, the Judiciary, & the Prison Service!   The automatic fax number at the top of the document shows the date as 9/8/99 - 11 months BEFORE the crime of which I stand convicted.  The jury were not allowed to see it at my 'trial'.  Deprived of it from my incarceration, it only came into my possession recently as part of  'disclosure' from the solicitor for the Chief Constable in my High Court action against him for the terror attacks & the nation-wide cover-up of those crimes.  That action has been deliberately & criminally delayed by Judge Grenfell for three years, again in the hope that my death will ensure the cover-up continues. 

If you DO act according to Article 38(1a), I will be only too glad to review the belief I have formed since my success in case 33745/96, that the ECtHR was created by lawyers for the benefit of lawyers, the victim - alive or dead - being only the necessary vehicle for their activities, the LIP being an interloper, a trespasser.  Having been successful once (bringing a much needed change in British law), there appears to be determination that I will not succeed again!

If you do NOT act according to Article 38 (1a), you will prove yourselves to be totally without shame, conscience, mercy or soul, little different to that previous Master Race which used Belsen, Dachau, Auschwitz to silence their victims.  It was wonderful for the German people who were not victims at that time, but there WAS a price to pay in the end.  There will be again! 

VI.  STATEMENT CONCERNING OTHER INTERNATIONAL PROCEEDINGS.  20.  Have you submitted the above complaints to any other procedure of  international investigation or settlement?  If so give full details. 

Since the first attempt on my life, I have sent desperate calls for help to the much praised Mary Robinson, United Nations Commissioner on Human Rights, to her successor, to the President of the Council of Ministers of Europe, Amnesty International, & to every other body I could think of.  Not  even acknowledgement from any!  Following my incarceration, I also sent desperate calls for help to THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE & INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT.  See my documents ECPT-26Feb02 & ECPT-4Mar02, copies of which were also sent to you at that time, but completely ignored by you.  The response which finally came from  Hanne Juncher of the ECPT could well have been written by Lewis Caroll, to follow on from ALICE IN WONDERLAND!  I will send another copy to you in the next few days.

That is apart from my desperate calls for help to ALL those in Britain who purport to be our 'watchdogs'.  There has been not a single word of acknowledgement from them either.  They all claim to be independent, but  the news media in particular are as essential to this Police State as was the Propaganda Ministry of Josef Goebbels in Nazi Germany.  Controlled by the Press & Broadcasting Advisory Committee (the 'D'-Notice Committee) they will allow the public to know only that which The State wants them to know.    

VII.  LISTS OF DOCUMENTS. (If you do not have copies, you should obtain them.  If you cannot obtain them, explain why not.

21.  The Order of the Criminal Appeal Court of 22/1/2004 is already in your hands, (along with the letter from the Judicial Office of the House of Lords, which shows that I did not receive the Order until 20/7/04).   I have already told how the Prison Service has used fiendish methods to steal many of my documents.  Right now I do not have the time or strength to overcome the obstruction & delay from the courts if I try to obtain copies, but I will do so if I survive long enough.

I do enclose the most vital document of all, my desperate call for help "WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE? (see V.19 above).  Also, letter from Paul Boateng MP, now a Cabinet Minister.  I will send my document WW2-2Aug04 (which explains the malice of the judiciary), in a couple of days, but do not want to distract you from speedy action under Article 38(1a), whereby you may save me from further torture, & possibly save my life.       

VII.  DECLARATION & SIGNATURE.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE & BELIEF, THE INFORMATION I HAVE GIVEN IN THE PRESENT  APPLICATION FORM & THE PAGES ATTACHED IS CORRECT.

Their are volumes more to tell than in this document, & masses of evidence, but that must wait for now.  If you block this Application, you will soon have MORE evidence -  the corpse of a man who fought to preserve Democracy, Justice, Mercy, & the Rule of Law in World War 2, & died trying to restore those precious things to Britain, the land of which I was so proud for so long!

Signed by Norman Scarth, Victim GV5409 Her Majesty's Prison, Wolds Gulag, BROUGH HU15 2JZ, East Yorkshire, England.

Enclosed are documents "WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?" (9/8/99);  Letter on behalf of the Chief Constable (9/8/99), & letter from Councillor Carter (11/8/99).  Others mentioned in this document will be sent within a day or so.  As stated, I do not wish to distract you from the urgent action I ask for under Article 38 (1a) - investigation by you!

TO BE CONTINUED, if I retain strength enough.

Continuation of Scarth v UK Government, ECtHR File No. 30078/04

This is instalment 2, commenced 13th September 2004

Wed. 15th 2004.

There IS a crime worse than murder, a punishment worse than the gallows,  as described by Euripides, (480 BC - 408BC).  "They whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first drive mad".  Those who claim to be Gods (they certainly have the arrogance) have been trying for five years to do just that to me, ably supported by their lackeys, thugs, puppets & sycophants.  Perhaps they have succeeded?  Perhaps these are the rantings of a lunatic?  (see later!)

I say again: There are STILL volumes more to tell than in this document, & masses of evidence, but management at Wolds Prison are still using fiendish means to drive me mad.  I am exhausted, & must recover strength before sending more detail, & more evidence, so this must do for now.

Continuation of Scarth v UK Government, ECtHR File No. 30078/04

THE ORIGINAL OF INSTALMENT THREE WAS HANDWRITTEN.

Below is a typed copy.

TO THE REGISTRAR, The ECtHR, STRASBOURG  CONTINUATION OF ECtHR FILE No. 30078/4

INSTALMENT 3.

(1).  with a blameless life behind me, sent to prison for the first time in my life at the age of 75, I was of course worried at being locked up with thugs, thieves, sadists, psychopaths & murderers.  There was a double shock (good & bad) to find that most of the prisoners are better than those with the keys.

(2).  Management are especially nasty.  Those officers who have a spark of humanity are never promoted, & admit they dare not speak out about criminal misconduct by their superiors, for fear of repercussions.  Though the Public Interest Disclosure Act may protect others, they know it will not protect them.

(2a).  80% of prisoners not only show me respect, but treat me as a hero.   One particularly vicious person at Wolds Prison is Education manageress Patricia Wilcox (in contrast to Education staff at Dovegate prison, who were marvellous).  (That was the reason I was moved from there so suddenly!)

(3).  As a special treat for my 78th Birthday, Wilcox had me brutally dragged to the Punishment Block - because I dared to complain about her serious crime against me:  'Obstructing the Course of Justice' was one, 'Mental Torture' another, BOTH  subject to life

imprisonment.  More about the still continuing mental torture later.

(4).  As a LITIGANT IN PERSON (without a lawyer), it is my absolute right under British law, & Article 6 of the ECHR to 'EQUALITY OF ARMS', the minimum being access to a computer, printer, copier etc.

(5).  After many months, she did belatedly & grudgingly put a stone age computer in the library, allowing me restricted access (though there are many modern ones elsewhere in Education (to which other prisoners DO have access).  It is not compatible with the floppy discs on which are stored a great many of my part completed legal documents, so that I am forced to type thousands of words all over again.  Will I live long enough?

(6).  She then finds every fiendish excuse to prevent me printing - the latest being that there is no paper in the prison!!!

(7).  So, I have been forced to use the blank side of once used paper.  Also forced to use the smallest font, straining my ancient eyes, with cataracts worsening.

(7a).  Overcoming much obstruction I obtained paper from outside, but now they claim to have run out of toner!!! (hence the poor quality of the handwritten copy)

(8).  As said, I have many prisoner friends, but there are of course some who are vicious, the type who attack old folks outside.

(9).  Two of that type have been made orderlies in the library.  They think they own the place, & took it upon themselves to say I was not to use the computer, even when it was not in use!

(10).  They launched a most vicious verbal assault on me, bullying of the worst kind, with sneers, jeers, insults & threats of violence, deliberately trying to provoke me, so that I would be the one in trouble, & they could adopt an air of sweet innocence!

(11).  I dare not risk this, & to avoid a repetition said I would keep away from the library (& thus the computer).  At this they shook hands & celebrated their victory with great glee, knowing they are protected by Wilcox. 

(12).  She of course, & all those others who are doing their best to drive me to mental breakdown (see the words of Dr. Quinn, later), know that they are protected by the same powerful people who protect those who launched the potentially lethal attack on me on 8th August 1999 - eleven months before my supposed 'crime'.

(13).  Every prison is plastered with notices "BULLYING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED" - (except when it is against Norman Scarth - when it will not only be tolerated - but encouraged!)

(14).  For a few months in 2003 there was the PRETENCE of 'equality of arms', when they provided me with  a laptop computer in my cell - but used every fiendish means to deny me access to a printer - which is like giving a starving man a tin of food - but no tin opener!  They then illegally confiscated the laptop anyway!!

(15).  At Shepton Mallet Prison ALL prisoners can have a computer (laptop or desktop) & a printer in their cells, whether they a entitled to 'equality of arms' or not.

(16).  It is especially sadistic to deny me, when there is a new consignment of computers in the prison - ONE OF THEM EARMARKED FOR ME - but I am not allowed to have it!

(17).  This is because the new 'Master Race' which now controls Britain is terrified of the truth, & are desperate to prevent me publishing it!     

(18).  Again I say, there are volumes more to tell, masses of evidence of dishonesty by the judiciary - AND by the ECtHR, but it must wait until I gather strength      

(19).  I look to the ECtHR to act URGENTLY to save me from further torture & save my life.  Will you do so?  In the interests of efficient communication, I ask that you acknowledge receipt by return, quoting my references.  Time is running out fast for me!

ALL THE FACTS IN THESE PAGES ARE TRUE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE & BELIEF.    Norman Scarth, 20 Sept 2004.

This is instalment 4, commenced 26th September 2004

MY DOCUMENT 

'WORLD WAR 2:  THE CAUSE, THE END, & THE SEIZING OF ABS0LUTE  POWER BY A NEW MASTER RACE' was sent to you.

 I would be grateful if you could confirm whether or no you did receive it.

(1).  Wolds Prison is more humane than many, the ordinary Wing Officers here do have a degree of humanity.  However, the psychopathic management are specialists in mental torture, though they still keep physical brutality in reserve, as when Education Manageress Patricia Wilcox had me brutally dragged to the punishment block as a special treat for my 78th Birthday - because I dared to complain about her serious crime against me!    

(2).  Strange:  Education staff at Dovegate were marvellous - which was the main reason I was moved from there so suddenly.  Most of them here are monsters!

(3).  Being a Litigant In Person (without a lawyer), I am (supposedly) entitled to 'equality of arms' under British law, but there being no law in Britain for the LIP I look to the ECtHR, Article 6, (Nuemeister v Austria being one precedent case).  For true equality I would need a staff as large as the Lord Chancellor's Dept. & the Home Office, being under attack from both those bodies.  However, I do the best I can, single handed.

(4).  I am allowed to use only this stone age computer (when there are scores of modern ones available).  They use the most fiendish excuses to restrict & delay my access even to this computer.  Equally fiendish excuses are used to block or delay me printing the documents I do manage to type!  That is like giving a starving man a tin of food - but no tin-opener!.  This stone age model is incompatible with my floppy discs, & the  masses of part completed legal documents I have stored on them.  This forces me to type it all out again, thus forcing me to work frantically, ten times harder than ANY human being should have to - much less one close to 79 years of age!  

(5).  The latest unbelievable excuse to stop me printing (& copying) is to say there is no paper in the prison!!!!!  So, I am forced to use the blank side of second hand paper (as now), & use a very small font, straining my ancient eyes to do so, cataracts worsening all the time!   It is one of the ways in which gross incompetence & inefficiency (feigned or actual) is used to delay me, which is 'Obstructing the Course of Justice', a very serious crime, subject to life imprisonment, & an element of mental torture, also subject to life imprisonment.  They have no fear of repercussions, knowing they are well protected by the judiciary.   (With great difficulty I have now overcome obstruction & managed to obtain paper from outside, thus able to type in a more readable font).

(6).  More about the 'great' Lord Denning:   He regularly gave lectures to The Holdsworth Club at Birmingham University.  At one of them (q.v.) he said "No Judge has ever been biased for the last 300 years".  Palpable nonsense, but read that in conjunction with his contradictory words (paras. (o) & (p), page 2).         

(7).  It is a FACT that all over the world lawyers are rated lowest of the professions.  Attorney General Sir Robert Armstrong infamously coined the phrase "economical with the truth" to excuse his own lying.  The profession makes vast amounts of money from their skilful 'economy'.

(8).  Here I include an extract from my letter to the House of Lords Judicial Office:

The facts in this document are true to the best of my knowledge & belief.  Norman.Scarth.

NS Ref. ECHR- 24 Sep. 04

THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT STRICTLY PART OF APPLICATION 30078/04, (Scarth v UK),

 but it could well be!

Added afterthought:  I now feel it SHOULD be part of the Application, as INSTALMENT FIVE.

I give below the text of a letter from the ECtHR dated 14Sept 04, acknowledging receipt of my Application, which was posted 6 Sept 04.  I was delighted to receive such a speedy response - until I saw it was from J.S.Phillips.  His letter said:

My reply, 24 Sept 04, (which the Court already has) was hand-written, my being denied access to a computer at the time.  Below is a typed copy: 

(1).  This letter is typical of the tactics used by Strasbourg lawyers to block or delay the hated Litigant In Person.  It appears that Phillips has read barely a word of my original letter or Application. 

            Learning very late in life that British lawyers (the new 'Master Race') are completely corrupt, the judiciary as depraved as Hitler's Master Race, I made it my mission in life to expose them - with lots of evidence!

(2). That was the reason for the crude/clever assassination attempt of 8 August 1999 ([1]), on the orders of Blair, Irvine, Woolf & Co.  Then 11 months of unofficial, unlawful, but very effective 'House Arrest', imprisoned by fear until 20 July 2000, when a second gang of attackers smashed into my home, giving me a brutal kicking that put me in hospital.

            Phillips KNEW of the first attack, because I made a desperate call for help to him by telephone in the days which followed.  See (t), (u), (v) & (w), page 2 of my typed Application.

(3). At the time Phillips was a member of the discredited & now defunct Commission.  On the telephone he did  say  to me " I would not have tried to block your 33745/96 case (eventually successful) as hard as did Karen Reid".  Yet he himself blocked the later, more important case, 48911(?)/99, & is now delaying this until my collapse from the overwork he forces on me by his nonsensical letter.

(4).  I ASK THAT SOMEONE OTHER THAN A BRITISH LAWYER TAKE ON THIS CASE FROM NOW ON, hopefully someone who will act swiftly enough to save my life.

(5).  Having survived the first & second attacks (the culprits being unaccounable & untouchable) a NON-EXISTENT 'crime' was invented against me, conviction at  a grotesque Kangaroo Court 'trial', & for a first 'offence' at the age of 75 (then) a TEN YEAR SENTENCE, when others have been given Probation, Community Service, Suspended sentences etc.

(6).  I am now in my 4th year of physical brutality & mental torture in a succession of sophisticated British 'Belsens', & cannot survive much longer.

(7).  You now have the document "WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE? (with supporting documents), which are cast iron evidence of the attack of 8 August 1999 (apart from Phillips's knowledge of it).  (There came not help, but brutality & savagery beyond belief.)  That document alone, along with the savagery of the sentence is surely enough to start an immediate investigation under Article 38(1a). 

            I hope the person who takes over from Phillips will do so, & not find some nit-picking 'rule' to say it can't be done!

(8).  I hope that person will read carefully all the documents I have sent, including my reference to the Dunblane massacre at the bottom of Instalment 2 of my Application.       

(9).  Bear in mind this is about terrorism, torture & soon to be completed murder, the terrorists having complete freedom to strike again.  Terrorism, be it against one person or thousands is STILL terrorism.  Is the ECtHR anxious to delay the identification of those responsible?    

(10).  The whole world knew of the 5 years which Terry Waite spent as a hostage, of Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma, & Ken Bigley in Iraq now. 

(11).  The world knows nothing whatsoever about me, the British News Media being as much a part of this Police State as was Josef Goebbels in Nazi Germany 

(12).  It is a FACT that all over the world, lawyers are rated the least worthy of the professions.  I hope you will prove they do not deserve that ranking.

(13).  Phillips says  "... the courts must have thought you did something".  THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!  I DID do something - I set out to expose lawyers & judges who were 'economical with the truth' - & was being successful!

ALL THE FACTS IN THESE PAGES ARE TRUE TO THE BEST OF KNOWLEDGE & BELIEF.

Norman Scarth, Victim No. GV 5409, HMP Wolds Gulag, BROUGH, E. Yorkshire, England.

Continuation of Scarth v UK Government, ECtHR File No. 30078/04

This is instalment 6, commenced 3rd October 2004

A part typed, part hand-written copy was faxed to Strasbourg on 5 October 2004, along with a copy of the Press Report about the leg amputation (see later). (hand-written because I am STILL denied the laptop computer which is in this prison - earmarked for me - & AGAIN  taken off the stone age computer in the library).  Those who deny me are motivated by their own malice, but also acting on orders from very high up - those who are terrified of the truth I can tell! 

(1).  To the Registrar:  I am disturbed to have heard nothing from you about an investigation under Article 38(1a).  Never was one more warranted.  You already have  my document "Will somebody help me, please?"  Is that not enough?  It SHOULD be (though there IS much more).

(2).  The attack of 8 October 1999 was TERRORISM - not less so because there appeared ([2]) to be only one victim, & I survived.  As stated several times, the terror & torture did not start & end on that day, but has continued ever since!  Failure to investigate makes you complicit in covering up that crime (which we are told is the biggest threat to the world!) & prevents the terrorists being identified.  SURELY the ECtHR does not wish to protect them?

(3).  Delay in investigation is itself mental torture, as is your failure to acknowledge receipt of instalments, or inform me of progress - especially with someone of my age.  Is the delay in the hope my death will intervene, when the case can be dropped?

(4).  As already stated, the violations complained of started on 8th August 1999, & have continued without let up right to the present day.  Though I am able to type this at the moment, Wolds Prison Management [acting on orders from higher up!] are using most fiendish & ingenious ways to frustrate, block & delay this Application, knowing that my life depends on it.  They block &/or restrict my access to the computer, & to print or copy such documents as I am able to produce.  THAT is extreme mental torture.  Let none dare minimise it. 

(5).  Bad enough when I am seeking relief from the physical brutality, mental torture & starvation inflicted on me in a succession of sophisticated British 'Belsen' prisons (now in my fourth year).

(6). Far worse when I am also seeking to restore Democracy, Justice & the Rule of Law to this ruthless, lawless & merciless Police State, hoping to prevent the excesses becoming worse the number of victims increasing.  That will inevitably be followed (sooner or later) by retribution, as it came to Nazi Germany - & could be FAR worse - bearing in mind modern weapons!

(7).  Again I say there are volumes more to tell, & masses of evidence of misconduct by people with power, far too much for one little old man, alone, so I take a short cut to the decision of the Court of Appeal on 22nd January 2001.  As you already know, I was never informed that the hearing was to take place, nor that it HAD taken place, until The Judicial Office of the House of Lords sent me a copy of the order on 19 July 2004 [see 8.c]. of Instalment 4, page 7)] so, what ever improper attempts may be made to declare any part of this application  'outside the 6 months limit', you cannot do so on this. 

(8).  I have said many times how gross ignorance, incompetence & inefficiency of the courts (feigned or actual)  are used as weapons against the hated Litigant In Person.  Never more so than the Appeal Court 'hearing' which purported to take place before Lord Justice Scott Baker, Mr. Justice McKinnon & HH Judge Gordon on 22nd January 2004.  The judgement provides cast iron evidence of ignorance of the law which is beyond belief!  There is also a great deal of  'economy with the truth' in the judgement, which I could list  & prove (if I live long enough), but I concentrate on the words which prove ignorance of the law by their Lordships.

(9).  Par. 23 (3) (sic) of the Judgement says, 'The Applicant alleges a breach of Article 14 (discrimination)'.  He puts it this way:  "All lawyers, all judges & all court staff  hate all Litigants In Person.  I am hated ten fold.". 

(10).  It takes their Lordships about 300 words to say "We have seen no proof  of this".     What BETTER proof could there be than the treatment of me?   IF  they have seen no proof it is because they had kept their eyes tightly shut! (They admit it in the judgement!) 

(Nor have they read Lord Woolf's ACCESS TO JUSTICE (Interim Report, 1995) [see 8.h] of Instalment 4, page 7, in which he describes mistreatment of LIPs by the courts)

(11).  There are indeed masses of proof, which I will try to list later, BUT -                            

          In such a case the law of the land says that 'PROOF' IS NOT NECESSARY!         Even if I were a serial killer, a mass murderer & torturer, as was General Auguste Pinochet, I should be allowed my freedom - AS HE WAS! 

(12).  So said the House of Lords in Re. Pinochet (Oral Judgement 17 December 1998.  Reasons 15 January 1999)       I quote extracts from the Judgement: "The sole ground relied upon (by General Pinochet) was that Lord Hoffman's links with Amnesty International were such as to give the appearance of possible bias.  It is important to stress that Senator Pinochet makes no allegation of actual bias against Lord Hoffman; his claim is based on the requirement that justice should be seen to be done as well as actually being done."

(13).  This of course was a re-affirming of the time honoured dictum of Chief Justice Lord Hewart (see Rex v Sussex Justices, Ex Parte McCarthy [1924] K.B. 256, 259) "It is of fundamental importance that justice should not only be done, but should manifestly & undoubtedly be seen to be done". 

(14).  The point made by Hewart (& by the Pinochet judgement) was that though no judge was ever biased (Heaven forbid! - see Denning, Page 7, para 6, Instalment 4), SOME people MIGHT have thought he COULD have been!  THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR PINOCHET  TO BE GIVEN HIS FREEDOM  - mass murderer & torturer though he was!

(15) If that fundamental principle of British law does not apply to me (when I have killed nobody, attacked nobody)  then it is surely proof of my contention that there is NO law in Britain for the LIP - none whereby he may seek the protection of the law, none whereby he may seek remedy for an injustice!     

(17).  Though the Hoffman / Pinochet ruling would be enough in any country which has the Rule of Law, sadly, Britain is not one of them. 

(18).  So, though the Pinochet ruling should be enough I now give just a little of the proof which LJ Scott Baker, McKinnon & Gordon claim not to have seen.  It starts with the gross misconduct of Judge Bentley at my grotesque Kangaroo Court 'trial'. 

(19).  Having banned the press (that alone should set alarm bells ringing), he made no attempt to hide his hatred of me.  He banned my witnesses & my evidence, then had me dragged brutally to the cells three times when I dared to complain of his criminal misconduct.  He also fed monstrous (provable) lies to the jury (all friends & relatives of police), denied them the truth - especially the most important truth of all, misdirected himself on the law, & virtually directed the jury to convict.

(20).  Could there be any better proof of his hatred of me than the savagery of his sentence?  TEN YEARS - for a first 'offence', on a man of 75 (then) with a lifelong record of service to my King, my Queen & my Country INFINITELY better than his!  Does one need a Lab Report as 'proof' that an egg is rotten?  Of course not, the stench is unmistakable.  Equally so the stench of this sentence!

(21).  It stinks to High Heaven ON ITS OWN!  Compared to sentences on others, the stench is that of mustard gas!  On the day of my 'crime', the second bunch of assassins smashed into my home to attack me.  One of them suffered a minor injury to the back of his hand (it was NOT caused by me, but forget that for now).  Those who have inflicted injuries similar to those suffered by my attacker have been given Community Service, Probation, Suspended Sentences, 3 months, 6 months etc.  Even vicious killers have been free in less than two years (see Press Reports sent as exhibits). 

(22).  A recent case is in the Daily Mail, 2nd September 2004:  A man smashed into his estranged wife in his car, causing injuries which needed leg amputation.  He was given an 18 month SUSPENDED sentence!   I was given TEN YEARS for a minor injury suffered by one of a gang who smashed into my home to attack me!

(23).  Does anyone need more than those two cases to prove the 'bias' of the judiciary against me?  Both Bentley & the Appeal judges said he was being 'lenient' with his ten year sentence - because of my record in World War 2.  Without that, he would surely have ordered disembowelment!  You would not have thought it possible, but the hatred showed by Judge Goldsack (who reimposed the sentence) was even WORSE than that of Bentley (see later).

(24).  If the above is not enough, then it is God help me, God help Britain, God help Europe - & God help the world!

(25).  In her Coronation Oath the Queen (like all her forbears) swore before Almighty God "TO DELIVER JUSTICE WITH MERCY".  All those in the service of  The State act in the name of the Queen - especially Judiciary, Government, Parliament & the Prison Service, & are thus bound by that Oath.  Imperial Britain could be brutal, with hangings, floggings, treadmills & the massacre of hundreds of innocents at Amritsar. 

(26).  Even so, they still had enough respect for that oath to release Mahatma Gandhi & the Suffragettes from prison when they were close to death from fasting.     The oldest man in prison, I have been on a starvation diet for three & a half years, several periods of fasting completely, with not the slightest concern from staff, custodial, medical or nursing.

(27).  I seek to find whether there is one ounce of mercy from Lawyer Blair's regime.  I fear not.  Having criticised his profession, they have as much mercy for me as a mouse would find in a snake pit! 

(28).  A copy of the decision of the ECtHR, in case 63716/00, Sawoniuk v UK is before me now.  Signed by S.Dolle Registrar & J.-P. Costa, President, on page 16 it says "The Home Secretary also has exceptional powers (outwith considerations of tariff & parole) to release prisoners on compassionate grounds". 

(29).  COMPASSION?  From David 'Himmler' Blunket?  He who appeared on TV on 13 November 2001 (TWO DAYS AFTER ARMISTICE DAY!) still wearing a poppy as he said "We will get rid of 'airy-fairy' Human Rights"?  Rights for which I fought & many thousands died, including my own brave young shipmates!   Only the gullible believe we still have them. 

(30).  Justice?  Mercy?  Compassion?  Human Rights?     Only the brainwashed believe that any of them are available from those who have seized Absolute Power in Britain    See my document World War 2 (Please confirm whether you have received it or not)

(31).  What about the ECtHR?  Are Justice, Mercy, Compassion or Human Rights available there?  Will they condemn those who (like Blunkett) show such contempt for all those things?   Will they for the first time in their existence ([3]) criticise a British judge for acting in contempt of the law of the land, contempt of his own Judicial Oath,  & that of the Queen?   All the political parties in Britain compete with each other in their promises to invent more laws, so they can build more prisons, & put more people in them - just as did Hitler! 

(32).  "Clamp down on crime" is the cry from all of them.  What about War Criminal Blair - & his accomplices?   "The law will imprison he who steals the goose from of the Common, but allows the greater felon loose, who steals the Common from the goose". 

(33).    Those two most dangerous madmen, Blair & Bush are free to push the world to disaster.  I am at the very forefront of the fight against crime -  suffering torture until I die in prison.  See para. 3, & the torture of delay from you.

That which follows was hand-written on the copy which was posted to the ECtHR on 7 Oct 2004.  It is self explanatory.                                       The end is varied from the handwritten words added to the copy of Instalment 6 as originally sent to theECtHR.

2 am. 7th October 2004:  TO THE REGISTRAR.  MOST URGENT. 

Wolds prison Management are INCREASING their fiendish attempts to drive me - the oldest man in prison - to insanity.  It is a crime WORSE than murder.         

                Thinking there might be a lessening of the verbal assaults & provocation from the 2 vicious prisoners mentioned in Instalment 3 (q.v.) (Sherman Mallenson & Richard Foxton), after my Official Complaint to Assistant Librarian Jean Maw & Wing Custody Officer Miike Kithen (see below) I have again been attending the library, with very limited access to the stone-age computer.  

                Yes, the 2 prisoners have been less offensive, but it would appear they (or someone) have been quietly encouraged to torment me surreptitiously!.  Working busily in the library yesterday evening, the time came to leave.  I found that a bag containing all my material to continue this application (effectively my 'life support machine') had been stolen from where I had left it -  just behind me.  I was in shock & despair. 

                The Assistant Librarian in charge was Julie Lacey, with whom I have always been on the best of terms.  She kept on insisting I must have left it on the Wing, urging me to go back there.  Eventually I convinced her that I had been using material from the bag that very evening!

                At that, she went to one particular bookshelf, reached behind, & pulled out the bag!  Obviously I was relieved to get the vital material back, but I have not been able to sleep since, not knowing when there will be some other dirty trick. 

The words which follow now are intended for Instalment 7 - if I survive long enough!  

It is not surprising that many psycopaths are attracted to the Prison Service.  One of the worst is Pat Wilcox (see Instalment 3, par. 3).  It is not only my right, but my duty to expose such criminals.

See Instalment 3 (2a) & (3) for how, as a special treat for my 78th birthday, Wilcox had me brutally dragged to the Punishment Block - because I dared to complain about her serious crime against me.

Re: "It could do you harm ...".  Librarian Penny Clarke & Assistant Julie Lacey have been marvellous in the past.  I have thanked them many times for their help, friendship, kindness & humanity.  Penny Clarke particularly has made it clear she knows that my presence here is a great injustice, knows also that Wilcox is a monster, but dare not speak up.  

SINCE MY OFFICIAL COMPLAINT, THEY TOO HAVE ATTACKED ME WITH MOST VICIOUS LIES.  Such is the culture of the prison service!   A lie is the intention to deceive - whatever the form of words.  Leaving OUT the truth can be the most vicious lie of all!

Following my official complaint, it was me - the VICTIM - who was locked out of  the library & the computer.  Protesting about this, Wilcox organised that I should again be brutally dragged to the punishment block - by 6 officers.  This was not ON my 79th birthday - but 2 days after.     

From arrival I was suffering wildly dizzy spells if I tried to move my on the bunk.  This continued for 2 days, with little concern from doctors who evebtually saw me.  Take a couple of  "paracetamols for your headache" said one of them.  I told him it was not a 'headache' - but close to unconscieness!  However, he did say "No dragging" when a psycopathic woman officer was preparing to drag me back to the Wing!

The wild dizzy spells have now lessened to frequent feelings of general dizzyness.   David 'Himmler' Blunkett:  Where are you with you 'COMPASSION'?

The European Convention on Human Rights purported to follow the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights, but the 'Small Print' inserted by the British lawyers who drafted the former made it very different (see Instalment 2).

After par.33 of Instalment 6, I quote from Orwell's '1984', indicating that I would show the frightening - (nay TERRIFYING) - similarity  with words from a ECtHR document received by me.  As stated, many of my documents have been stolen from me by the prison service, & I am not able to quote the File No., but I do have this extract.   Time to include it now, in case I am unable to continue. 

"I write to inform you that on 27th March 2002
