History Of The USSR
I am the man who arranges the blocks that descend upon me from up above...The history of the world's first Communist nation, in simple terms, with humour where appropriate. Whites versus Reds - Vladimir Lenin and the Russian Civil War After Red October overthrew the government that overthrew Tsarist Russia, the Bolsheviks ended up being one of the major players in the world's largest country. They also ended up with the continuing problem of World War One. They concluded a peace treaty with Imperial Germany, in the process giving up control of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Poland, which became German puppets and after Germany's defeat, which either became independent or were re-taken by the Reds. After concluding the war on highly unfavourable terms, there was also another problem: not everyone was happy with the new government. This was first demonstrated in the Constituent Assembly elections, where the Bolsheviks were defeated. The Assembly held one meeting before being dissolved. This also led to a Civil War, in which the Allied powers, including the Americans joined in. It was mainly "Red" versus "White" and very nasty, with massacres everywhere; the one that shows up most often in fiction is the murder of the entire Romanov royal family, although that was an event of minor importance at the time. The civil war was hardly two-sided, as the nation was filled with dozens of small nationalist factions fighting for independence and a confusing rainbow of smaller armies such as the Blacks (anarchists), Blues (peasants rebelling against the Reds), and Greens (desperate peasants fighting everybody just for survival). If you want a glimpse of what happened at the time, Doctor Zhivago is best at describing the whole situation. Western powers like the US, Britain and France sent some troops to help the Whites (because they were fighting against communism, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend). This mostly served to make the Whites look like puppets of foreign capitalists and imperialists, which didn't help with their street cred. Thanks to Trotsky and the state seizing control of the entire Soviet economy to feed the Red Army (which became highly organised and disciplined —the commissars shooting people certainly helped), the Bolsheviks won. The Whites were disunited, rather disorganised, and lacking an industrial base - not to mention that they had no idea what to do with Russia if they won, since they were a wide alliance of anti-communist forces (ranging from non-Bolshevik socialists over moderate liberals to ultra-nationalists who wanted to kill lots of Jews). The price was very high. Fifteen million Russians were dead, mostly via disease, famine and massacres (including White pogroms against the Jewish population). Another million, White supporters and much of the skilled class of Russia, left the country permanently to appear in many a Genteel Interbellum Setting work of fiction. What was left of Imperial Russia's attempts at industrialization lay in shambles and agricultural production wasn't much better off either. As part of the whole "worker-socialist state" thing, all remaining traces and links to the old monarchy were purged as well. On 29 December 1922, a new union of republics (Russia with Belarus, the Communist Ukrainian government, and the states of Central Asia) was created. Its name in Russian was Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik. The rest of the world could come to know of it as the USSR, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or otherwise the Soviet Union. To help get things going, Lenin implemented the New Economic Policy (NEP). This kept industry and manufacturing (or what was left of it after the war) under state ownership, but allowed some private ownership of agricultural land, and encouraged farmers to sell surpluses. This increased agricultural production greatly, but there were also problems with consumer goods prices and something called "the Scissors Crisis", owing to the dilapidated state of Russia's industry. In March 1923, Lenin suffered his third stroke and was left bedridden and speechless for the short remainder of his life. In 1924, he died and was buried in Red Square. Well, not buried. He was built his own creepy dark mausoleum, where his embalmed dead body is still visible to the public. The Paranoid Priest Candidate - Josef Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili was born in Gori, Georgia on 18 December 1878. He had an unpleasant childhood. His father beat him. When he went to school and later a seminary in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi (seminary was one of a few ways to get a free education in Russia at the time), he was forced to use Russian and mocked for his Georgian accent. Joseph became a Georgian nationalist and a poet. He read a Georgian novel called The Patricide, which starred a Robin Hood style character called Koba. He adopted it as his first revolutionary pseudonym. In 1899, he quit the seminary and became a revolutionary. The seminary says he failed to show up for his final exams. Official Soviet history says he was expelled for reading revolutionary literature. What really happened is up to your imagination. After running as a criminal and bank robber, the-man-formerly-known-as-Dzhuga-later-Koba-but-now-Stalin ended up as one of the editors of Pravda (Da, pravda), a news sheet full of revolutionary truthiness that is still in much-reduced existence today. His role in the Red October Revolution was pretty minor, no matter how much he tried to puff it up later. Stalin ended up as General Secretary of the Bolsheviks. Perceived as a unimportant position (he was dubbed "Comrade Card-Index"), it actually allowed him to pack the party with his own supporters. The big argument among the Commies was between "World Revolution" (promote revolution in other countries, particularly the more industrialized countries, because socialism and communism cannot be built in a single agricultural country like the 1920s USSR) or "Socialism in one country" (build up the USSR and put Soviet interests first, because socialism and communism can be built in a single agricultural country and thus be a model for other revolutionaries). Stalin took the latter stance, Trotsky the former. Before Lenin had become incapacitated, he dictated a Testament. While critical of the other senior Commies, its message to the party was very clear: get Stalin out, now. Some say Lenin thought he'd get better and criticized everyone to keep his leading role. Stalin, Kamenev and Zinoviev buried the Testament. Stalin pretended to be on the right and kicked out those who could stop him on the left (Kamenev and Zinoviev), then switched sides and did the same with those on the right (Bukarin and Rykov). Trotsky, who may well have been tricked by Stalin into missing Lenin's funeral, was eventually kicked out of the USSR in 1929. He eventually headed to Mexico, where The Stranglers now tell of how "he got an ice pick, that made his ears burn". Though it was actually an ice axe, he ended up just as dead on account of it being embedded into his brain. With complete control of the party, Stalin abandoned the NEP and started two policies to turn the USSR into a great power. These were industrialisation and collectivisation. "Fifty Years In Ten" - Industrialisation To kickstart the Soviet economy, both industrial and agricultural, Stalin in 1928 started the first Piatiletka- Five-Year Plan (these would in fact be continued until the collapse of the USSR). In 1931, he stated that "We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us". As events would go on to prove thirteen years later, he was right on the money about that. Massive new industrial facilities were set up, such as the city of Magnitogorsk, where John Scott went Behind The Urals. Though it didn't make much sense at the time, the whole behind the Urals thing was done intentionally and would be very important later on. Oil, iron and coal mining operations were ramped up, as were steel production and electricity generation efforts. Ambitious production targets were set up that required an increase of 250% over current production rates. In any enterprise, there's always a bit of minor account fiddling, while the more criminally-inclined may resort to cooking the books. What the Soviet people did in response to production targets amounted to throwing the books into the Magnitogorsk blast furnace and using the ashes to fill out the quota. Failure to meet production targets could mean sacking at best, a trip to The Gulag or at worst, a bullet in the back of the head. As a result, everyone exaggerated their manufacturing performance and produced lots of very shoddy goods. While this was a bit of a problem early on, this sort of practice would become disastrous many years down the line. Nevertheless, industrialization was generally successful. Though few production targets were ever truly reached, productivity was much improved and the state of the economy was certainly better than it had been for years. The First Plan was declared finished early, though the Third would be terminated early by the start of the Great Patriotic War. Smert Kulak! Collectivisation The other part of the Five-Year Plans was collectivisation. All that building of factories and machines that went along with industrialisation had to be financed somehow. Most of the USSR's population consisted of peasants, so perhaps they could be persuaded to join large collective farms, work more efficiently and give up their surpluses (instead of selling them for something in return) - all for the rapid development of the motherland, of course. However, it turned out this wasn't the most popular of ideas. So Stalin decided to be a little more persuasive, and take land from the peasants by force. Lots of force. In the eyes of the CPSU there were four types of peasants:
- bednyaks, poor peasants
- seredniaks, mid-income peasants
- kulaks, rich land-owning peasants. The term was in use pre-Red October for independent farmers who hired labour and had large farms. It quickly become derogatory —the term literally means "tight-fisted".
- batraks, seasonal landless workers.
"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering".So the "facts" were altered. Other Bolshevik leaders were "erased" from history and removed, rather expertly, from photos. New textbooks were issued to schoolchildren. As his former cronies were still being purged as quickly as they fell out of favour, new pages were given for pupils to paste over. Conversely, he also had photos altered so that any particularly notable instance (such as a meeting with Lenin) would show him as being there when he really wasn't. Other photos that actually showed his face were sometimes retouched to show him in a more favourable light —for an example of what this entails, compare the famous image of Che Guevara on a shirt to the original photograph. Backroom Deals - Germany and the Soviet Union Back in the Lenin-and-Trotsky days, the Soviets arranged secret military agreement with the Weimar Republic of Germany. In a nutshell, the agreement called for the two to discreetly develop new weapons using Soviet facilities and German technical know-how. German troops were permitted to secretly train on Slavic soil, while Soviet officers and engineers were sent off to be educated in Teutonic military academies and factories. It was a win-win situation: the Germans were allowed to keep up with current military trends in covert defiance of the Treaty of Versailles, while the Soviets benefited from the skills and expertise of the former industrial and military power. Although the agreement fell apart before Stalin took power, it laid the basis for further development and modernization of both armed forces. While Heinz Guderian was still formulating the Blitzkrieg doctrine of mechanized warfare, Mikhail Tukhachevsky was actively pitching a similar proposal in the form of the deep battle doctrine (and would ultimately end up being executed for his trouble). Then in 1934, a little Austrian upstart named Adolf Hitler took centre stage. The Weimar Republic became the Third Reich, German rearmament intensified, and the Treaty of Versailles was publicly made null and void as German jackboots trod into the Rhineland, Austria, and most of Czechoslovakia. The Soviet leadership wasn't all too thrilled at this turn of events, as the Nazis' rhetoric made it clear that the two wouldn't be bosom buddies. However, the USSR didn't get involved as they were a bit preoccupied by border clashes with Imperial Japan near the Mongolian border. It was probably around this time that Stalin probably began to realize that his purges might have removed too many competent military officers from their posts, and that there were a lot more wolves outside than there were in his house. Much like every other country at the time, the USSR wasn't really all that ready for war. Stalin decided that he didn't want to get involved in Europe, at least not until he had his own house in order. An alliance with France and Great Britain was unattractive because they had isolated the USSR by not inviting them to the talks with Hitler over his demands on Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. Furthermore, in an imagined war between the USSR and Hitler, it was estimated the USSR would need about 300 divisions to safeguard their border with Germany, while the United Kingdom was prepared to offer only three or five divisions to the USSR if they were invaded. Additionally, USSR needed military access through Poland to deal with Germany, and Poles wisely didn't trust Russians and made France-Britain-Poland-USSR alliance impossible. This made Stalin more inclined to seek a diplomatic understanding with Nazi Germany. Prior to the outbreak of World War II, Stalin got his foreign minister Vyascheslav Molotov to sign a non-aggression pact with Joachim von Ribbentrop, his German counterpart. As per the terms of the pact, both countries would keep to their respective spheres of influence, which just happened to run adjacent through Poland. So when Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1st 1939, the Soviet Union followed up on the 17th by claiming the territory allotted to them. By that time, the Soviet Union managed to clean up the Japanese at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, and so were free to turn their attention back to Europe in earnest. The USSR proceeded to annex what would later become the states of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldova, all of which were formerly part of the Russian Empire. These states would then become buffer states against a potential invasion from the West, whether it came from Germany or some place else. Part of their plan to expand their defensive buffer involved taking control of some Finnish territory. After being rebuffed in negotiations, the Soviet high command decided to take want they wanted by force. Thinking that conquering a small country with almost no tanks or aircraft to speak of would be easy, they quickly made preparations for war with Finland. On November 30 1939, the USSR invaded Finland under a flimsy pretense. A few weeks later, Stalin and the rest of the Soviet leadership quickly discovered that:
- The Finnish army was most definitely not a push-over: what they lacked in equipment was made up for by their training, leadership and dedication towards defending their homeland.
- General Winter does not only fight for Russia. The Finns knew their territory and climate far better than the Soviets did, and took full advantage of this knowledge to outmaneuver the Soviet military and choose their battles in circumstances most favourable to them.
- The Soviet armed forces were badly organized, poorly led, and completely unmotivated to fight under freezing cold conditions for a cause that they didn't fully understand or agree with.
- First, he believed that Germany would not go to war without some sort of ultimatum, giving the Soviet Union several weeks to mobilize. He also felt that making preparations would unnecessarily antagonize them.
- Moreover, he suspected that the British were attempting to provoke a war by feeding him false information, despite being corroborated by Soviet intelligence.
- And finally, he completely dismissed the information he received from his own agents for no reason other than doubting that their reports could be so accurate.
At a restaurantAbroad, Gorbachev essentially ended the Cold War. He withdrew Soviet forces from Afghanistan, concluded two arms treaties and then announced the "Sinatra Doctrine" ("I did it my way"), allowing the Warsaw Pact countries to determine their own internal polices. The 1989 Revolutions duly followed. In the USSR itself, the republics started to break away. When Lithuania did so, rogue elements sent in the tanks. Tanks for the Communism - the August 1991 coup attempt and the end of the USSR On 18 August 1991, Gorbachev was in his Dacha, when he was essentially taken prisoner by hardliners, who declared a "state of emergency" and proceeded to shut down anti-communist newspapers. The people of Moscow rose up against this coup and blockaded the White House (the location of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic's parliament). Much of the military refused to obey orders, Boris Yeltsin stood on a tank and the coup failed. With Gorbachev's reputation ruined, the CPSU had its property nationalised and was later closed down. On December 8th, the heads of the SSRs of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine drafted and signed a document declaring the USSR dissolved in a 24-Hour period. Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush were informed over the phone simultaneously. Russia had a new flag now, and most of the republics declared independence. It's an interesting question as to whether Gorbachev wanted to save communism - he would later declare he would have preferred it if Red October had not happened. In the end, his attempts to save it brought the system crashing down. On Christmas Day, 1991, Gorbachev announced his resignation as President. The hammer and sickle was lowered from the Kremlin and the Soviet Union was finished. The Russian Federation had begun, with Yeltsin's first act to declare Russia to be the successor state to the USSR, thus allowing it to assume the USSR's place on the UN Security Council. See Glorious Mother Russia for how fiction often portrays this.

So Diego didn't fare so well. What about Koschek?
He is a better wrestler than Diego and a better striker. He doesn't take a very good punch (see Paulo Tiago) , which would bode well for BJ... The lightweight division is highly competitive, but not at BJ's level. Outside of GSP and other huge welterweights (see Jon Fitch), I think Kos stands a decent chance against the LW Champ.
Your thoughts?

WHAT a set.. best picture I have ever seen and it is huge. easy set up. Have not tried 3D yet but will soon.
Very nice for the price5/22/2012
The TV is huge, but the colors are a bit off at first, when you turn it on, it takes about 2-3 mins to warm up. Most people will turn it on for the first time and set it to HOME use.... my friend is a tech guru so I got him to come over and do a calibration with his laptop and tools, as well as the advance settings, and ever since then, it's been nothing but flawless with color and picture... speakers are weak, but we have 7.1 surround set up so that wasn't important to us... excellent buy, but make sure if you don't know someone that you find someone to help you calibrate it, simply setting the advance settings is great, but a professional calibration for someone who isn't tech saavy is much better.
This is by far the best projection TV I have ever owned. The picture is near perfect and when watching football it is truely TV Heaven. I would recommend this TV to anyone. I would have gotten the 82" if I had a wall or an entertainment center big enough to accommodate it. The only negative was the delivery service would not remove the TV from the box and make sure it powered up before they left as instructed on the packing slip.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Smoked Salmon and Watermelon
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder blend
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 serving 12 to 16 inch soft rectangular flatbread or extra large tortilla cut into a rectangle
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, cooled (instant is fine)
- 4 ounce smoked salmon, torn into peices
- 3/4 cup minced seedless watermelon
Mix the mayonnaise, curry and relish together and spread evenly over the flatbread or tortilla. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the bread leaving a 1-inch wide strip down the length of a long side of the bread without rice and just the sauce exposed. Press down on the rice to pack. Place the salmon and watermelon in a compact line (on top of the rice) down the edge of the other long side of the bread – on the opposite side from the long side without the rice.
Starting with the side of the bread that has salmon, rice and watermelon, roll over the bread to enclose the salmon and seal the roll with the strip of bread with the sauce and no rice forming a cylinder. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Using a sharp, serrated knife cut the cylinder into 2-inch thick slices simulating the look of sushi. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Chronic destitution among young migrants and refugees
March 8, 2012 by Webmaster · Leave a Comment
Source: Institute of Race Relations
The Children's Society has recently published a report on levels of destitution and poverty among asylum-seeking and migrant youth.
An alarming rise in the number of destitute children seeking support through children's centres in the UK has prompted research on the abhorrent conditions faced by young asylum-seekers and migrants. The report, 'I don't feel human': experiences of destitution among young refugees and migrants, by the Children's Society, examines key data and assesses the extent of the problem.
Different groups and organisations identify and address destitution in different ways. The UK government has defined destitution in the Immigration and Asylum Act (1999) and the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act (2002).[1] For the purpose of this report, destitution is defined as 'the lack of regular access to essential resources such as food, clothing, toiletries, medicine and a place to live.'
Forced destitution has been a deliberate policy by previous and current policymakers so as to deter asylum claims and reduce the supposed incentives for those seeking asylum. The withdrawal of support and funds to refused asylum seekers is a major tool for governments seeking to expedite their return to their countries of origin. Children and families subject to immigration control or irregular immigration status have no recourse to public funds. Existing support schemes are limited and offered under strict conditions, and often, young people are not accessing these services.
The Children Act (1989) requires that all children receive support in their area, and social services has to provide accommodation and assistance to a family of a child in the interest of safeguarding the child's welfare. However, local authority support is often withheld or withdrawn from migrants and refused asylum seekers under provisions in the Nationality, Immigration, and Asylum Act. This ongoing tension between the legal requirement to safeguard child welfare and immigration policies has left young asylum seekers in limbo.
Currently, there is no central agency or database for monitoring destitution among migrant children. Existing data is derived from local agencies and put together by the Children's Society. According to Home Office figures, 21 per cent of all refused asylum seekers were children, and 86 per cent of these cases involved very young children under the age of five. Fifty-one per cent of migrant children receive no support from formal or private agents, and 40 per cent of those in receipt of support had experienced prolonged destitution of up to six years.
Destitution and its consequences
Young people typically experienced destitution because social services did not believe they were children and refused to support them; because of relationship breakdown and the exhaustion of private fostering arrangements; or because after turning 18, they had been discharged from social care.
The consequences of destitution among young migrants are varied. Many resort to dangerous survival strategies such as sex work and petty crime. Fear of coming to the attention of authorities means that many child migrants avoid medical care, resulting in poor health, and high rates of infant mortality caused by difficulty accessing pre- and ante-natal services. Sexually transmitted diseases, poor diet and hygiene, and deteriorating mental health (symptoms of which include self-harm and suicide) are all frequently experienced by destitute child migrants. These health problems are often exacerbated by widespread homelessness and abuse experienced by child migrants.
The report makes a number of recommendations which include:
* Cash-based support at 100 per cent support for children under 18 and at least 70 per cent for adults where accommodation is provided;
* Increased funding from local authorities;
* Permission to work;
* Legal advice made more accessible;
* Wide-scale monitoring of destitution;
* A comprehensive child poverty strategy that includes the needs of asylum-seeking, refugee and migrant communities.
'I don't feel human': experiences of destitution among young refugees and migrants, Children's Society, can be downloaded here (http://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/sites/default/files/tcs/research_docs/thechildrenssociety_idontfeelhuman_final.pdf ) (pdf file, 908kb). [1] According to these statutes, a person and his dependents are destitute 'if they do not have and cannot obtain both (a) adequate accommodation, and (b) food and other essential items'. The Information Centre about Asylum and Refugees however describes destitution as 'the inability to access statutory support mechanisms … reliance on friends, family and charitable groups for basic subsistence and/or accommodation. It can also be defined by its symptoms or effects, such as homelessness'.
Unattended children in Afghanistan
February 29, 2012 by Webmaster · Leave a Comment
Source: Free Movement
This is the week in which Human Rights Watch reported that 'Children deported to Kabul will face horrible risks' and Amnesty International reported that at least 28 children had died in the IDP camps around Kabul as result of the freezing winter conditions and lack of food. Yet to respond to these and other reports of the appalling circumstances within Afghanistan, the UKBA can be said to still think that once a dateline of 18 years of age is crossed or there was once disclosed even the most tenuous of family links Kabul, a young Afghan can in many circumstances be returned to Kabul. Where we often disagree with the UKBA's stated positions on a particular country situation we can at times at least understand them. The UKBA's position here cannot be understood. Now is not the time to return minors or young people to Afghanistan. The new decision in AA (unattended children) Afghanistan CG [2012] UKUT 0016 (IAC) is certainly a long way off from forcing the UKBA into any policy initiative which favours minors or those just over the 17½ year threshold, so much is clear from the neutrally toned headnote:
(1) The evidence before the Tribunal does not alter the position as described in HK (Afghanistan), namely that when considering the question of whether children are disproportionately affected by the consequence of the armed conflict in Afghanistan, a distinction has to be drawn between children who were living with a family and those who are not. That distinction has been reinforced by the additional material before this Tribunal. Whilst it is recognized that there are some risks to which children who will have the protection of the family are nevertheless subject, in particular the risk of land mines and the risks of being trafficked, they are not of such a level as to lead to the conclusion that all children would qualify for international protection. In arriving at this conclusion, account has been taken of the necessity to have regard to the best interest of child.
(2) However, the background evidence demonstrates that unattached children returned to Afghanistan, depending upon their individual circumstances and the location to which they are returned, may be exposed to risk of serious harm, inter alia from indiscriminate violence, forced recruitment, sexual violence, trafficking, and a lack of adequate arrangements for child protection. Such risks will have to be taken into account when addressing the question of whether a return is in the child's best interests, a primary consideration when determining a claim to humanitarian protection
This superbly crafted determination from Mr Justice Owen and UTJ Jarvis provides us with as full and honest an appraisal of the current situation for young returnees as I have seen in the recent past. AA was from Kabul Province and arrived in the UK as an unaccompanied minor in May 2009. His claim for asylum was fear of persecution on return to Kabul as an unaccompanied minor and/or by reason of political opinion imputed to him by virtue of anti-Taliban family connections and that he himself had been among a group who sang an anti-Taliban song at a public gathering. The Tribunal allowed the appeal, ruling that he has proved that there was a real risk of being persecuted or of other serious harm if returned to his home area or to Kabul.
Not unusual facts but even so these are a few reasons why I think the decision deserves to be fully digested:
i. It reminds us, and we all sometimes need reminding, to always look beyond the headnote of any reported case. The summary provided above simply does not do justice to the wealth of findings and observations made within the body of the determination which can be used to the benefit of claimants.
ii. It includes a fabulous summary of all current learning on the proper approach to the assessment the evidence of minors. I haven't seen this in such a useful form in a single determination or judgement before. Very much worth reading and reciting ad nauseum until your particular audience understands that things are different — very different — when dealing with children.
iii. It reveals that the situation in Kabul and Afghanistan generally is deteriorating and has worsened since HK.
iv. It serves a reminder that even if a young person is from Kabul or Kabul Province (where the UKBA often states adequate protection exists), this does not permit a less stringent examination of risk when they would be returning unaccompanied.
v. It reiterates how vulnerable unaccompanied children are to sexual exploitation and force recruitment and, as per Court of Appeal in DS (Afghanistan) the UKBA is itself under an obligation to attempt proactively to trace the family members of unaccompanied minors.
This is a very useful case but what to my mind is so commendable is that each and every stage of Tribunal's fact finding process involves careful consideration of the correct approach to the assessment of a child's evidence. Of course I want this to be as an inclusive a post as possible, but maybe only the refugee lawyers amongst us will understand why it's so refreshing to see something done so well.

Landing in Dover report on reception of children
January 18, 2012 by Webmaster · Leave a Comment
Source: Free Movement
Today's report by the Children's Commissioner, Landing in Dover, exposes gross double standards by UK Border Agency officials. The report reveals the existence of a so called 'gentleman's agreement' operating at the south coast ports whereby an unaccompanied child who did not make an immediate asylum claim would be returned to France within 24 hours of arrival in the UK with no welfare or other assessment and no referral to social services.
The agreement was in place from at least 1995 through to November 2011, when the Children's Commissioner discovered the existence of the agreement. At this point the practice was halted immediately by the new Chief Executive of UKBA, the inappropriately named Rob Whiteman.
The practice of returning unaccompanied children with no welfare assessment is so obviously in breach of the duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children imposed by section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 that it beggars belief that UKBA officials continued with the practice. The practice was also obviously in breach of all the UKBA guidance to its staff about trafficking, which encourages staff to be proactive and alert in seeking to identify potential victims of trafficking.
Not only that, but the investigation found that the UK Border Agency is still detaining children despite Government commitments to the contrary:
The report finds that children are in fact not currently being held for the 'shortest appropriate period of time'. Rather they are detained whilst significant interviews that will inevitably bear on their prospects of being granted permission to stay in the UK are conducted. From the cases we have considered in preparation of this report, we find that the local authority is only informed of the child's arrival several hours after initial detention and well into the interviewing process. The report concludes that interviewing children in depth immediately on arrival is unnecessary and not in their best interests and should be reconsidered.
Even where children said that they were tired or ill UKBA staff would apparently carry on regardless and press on with further interviews without referring the child to social services. The report identifies the following failings:
- Children are generally not fit for interview due to illness, hunger, tiredness, fear or a combination of these factors.
- The length of time between being placed into detention and release into care is too long. This is due to both the numbers of interviews routinely undertaken and the waiting times between the interviews.
- Telephone interpreting is generally used at the interviews and is not, in our view, 'fit for purpose'.
- Children are in practice unable to instruct a legal representative or in most cases have an independent Responsible Adult present during interviews and yet the interviews can be relied upon by UKBA in the asylum decision.
- Even in the absence of a legal representative or independent adult, children are required to sign the screening interview record, confirm its contents are correct and confirm that they have understood legal warnings and instructions from the immigration officer.
This is all pretty horrifying, and it should inform judges and lawyers when they consider whether weight should be attached to information from screening interviews of unaccompanied children.
The good intentions of Ministers, senior managers and the people who write the UKBA policy documents are all very well, but what matters is what happens on the ground. Culture change is always hard but the UK Border Agency has a long, long way go before it can realistically assert that its staff take children's welfare seriously.

The Motz Group of Cincinnati has been in town for the past few days replacing the blue grass at Parkview Field.
The installers were hard at work Wednesday morning. Chad Lavender of the Motz Group said he thought the job would be completed Thursday. The company is installing 89,000 square feet of blue grass turf.
The former field had to be replaced because the team discovered an invasive grass, called poa annua, soon after the sod was first laid ahead of the TinCaps' 2009 debut season. Replacing the turf will cost about $140,000. The city will pay $90,000 from a special fund set up to help pay for improvements at Parkview Field, while the team will pitch in the remaining one-third.

SHALIMAR — Officials are looking into an incident where they believe a 17-year-old boy hid near the Shalimar Pointe Country Club and shot a pellet gun at golfers.
An employee of the club called the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office about noon Wednesday about shots being fired near the green on the second hole, according a Sheriff's Office report.
A 71-year-old man from Missouri was hit in the hip and a 73-year-old woman from New York was hit in the arm a few minutes later. They were completing their rounds when deputies arrived.
The golfers opted not to file charges, but asked deputies to "emphasize the seriousness of the incident and potential consequences for his actions," the offense report said.
Deputies believe the boy fired the shots, but attempts to talk to him were unsuccessful.
"A further attempt to contact (the boy) will be made at a time when a parent might be present," the report said.

The PAN-DEAN Diet is an acronym for Pasteurized, Nutrient Dense , and All Natural Diet. This diet is structured to resemble a new, safe and healthy feeding concept for pets. Virtually all commonly used preservatives (BHT, BHA, Ethoxyquin, and Sodium metabisulfite) and artificial flavor are eliminated by the usage of refrigeration. Although this diet has been viewed as a departure from the traditional concept of petcare, these are still just guidelines and have not yet been adopted by any federal agencies.
A process method commonly used in human food products, such as dairy and meat processing. It generally kills dangerous bacteria and parasites from food without jeopardizing it to excessive heat and pressure. After this process the product is quickly chilled, packaged and stored in chillers to prevent spoilage. High levels of heat and pressure causes a decline in nutrient value and reduces the nutrient absorption level. Refrigeration is used instead of preservatives to prevent spoilage. The gentle cooking process also leaves a highly palatable natural flavor. However, the product often suffers a much shorter storage life compare to most pet food.
This diet is claim to be "Nutrient Dense". It includes fat soluble vitamins (A, 0, E, & K) and B vitamins. Minerals such as calcium and phosphorus are included to ensure strong bones and teeth, while iron and copper are used to maintain healthy red blood cells and zinc is included for proper growth and healthy skin. However, the exact amount and volume of these nutrients are not stated.
The diet includes no preservatives, no additive artificial coloring, no glutens, no sugar, no digestive accelerants and no soy. The primary ingredient is fresh "whole" meat. No meals, by products or frozen meat are used as apart of the ingredients.

FLINT TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A Michigan pastor who says he's doing everything he can to reach out to people who don't feel comfortable at a traditional house of worship has opened a tattoo parlor inside his church.
Rev. Steve Bentley of The Bridge, a church located inside a Flint Township shopping center, said his ministry is built on the belief that mainstream religion has become ineffective and irrelevant to most people. To that end, he opened Serenity Tattoo.
Tattoo artists Ryan Brown and Drew Blaisdell work by appointment or from noon until 8 p.m., Monday-Saturday, at the county-licensed tattoo shop that sits not far from Bentley's office as well as the watering trough that he uses for baptisms.
Bentley, who has two tattoos, said he understands some don't like the idea of Serenity Tattoo inside the church, but the pastor considers tattooing a "morally neutral" practice that he likens to getting one's ears pierced.
"We are about doing church in a different way and being relevant to people," Bentley told The Flint Journal. "You can get a tattoo in a clean environment. You can do it while still sticking to your moral code."
Brown is a recovering alcoholic who said the atmosphere inside the church building has helped to keep him focused and on the right path.
"I was running my own studio. I was just working. There wasn't much purpose in it," he said. "I was struggling with whether I could keep my studio" and stay sober.
"I prayed a lot and decided the best thing was to close it and come to the church. I figured I could have a lot more positive impact" here, Brown said.

Cyndi Lauper still proudly 'unusual'
The veteran pop music maverick, whose 'Kinky Boots' score could win a Tony Award Sunday, performs Wednesday at Humphreys on her "She's So Unusual" 30th anniversary tour.
It's not uncommon for famous musicians to ponder how they might be remembered by future generations. The proudly uncommon Cyndi Lauper is resolutely not one of them.
"I'm not going anywhere for a long time!" she declared. "Every time you think you've got me pegged in one direction, I'll just go in another. I have my own mind of what I want to do in this world. I want to contribute."
The veteran singer, songwriter and MTV darling of the 1980s paused for thought.
"I guess," she said, "the best you could be remembered for is that you tried and didn't give up."
Tenacity is certainly a key attribute for Lauper, who performs here Wednesday at Humphreys and on Sunday night could become the first woman in Broadway history to win a Tony Award for Best Original Score.
Her nomination is for the hit musical "Kinky Boots," which has reignited her career yet again. A collaboration with veteran writer Harvey Fierstein and director Jerry Mitchell, "Kinky Boots" earned a field-leading 13 Tony nominations.
"Thirteen is an extremely lucky number," said Lauper, who next year celebrates her 40th anniversary in music. "This is 2013. And I think it means something that all the people that got together to do 'Kinky Boots' have really spent their life working in different ways on the same thing, which is acceptance."
She chuckled as she linked the musical's success to her 1983 solo debut album, "She's So Unusual," which to date has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide.
"When 'She's So Unusual' came out, the offices of the record company I was signed to were on the 13th floor. Maybe that's why it's good luck," Lauper, 59, noted.
Her first musical has yet to produce a hit single. But as the "Kinky Boots Original Broadway Cast Recording" album last week debuted at No. 1 on the national Billboard Top Broadway Album. And her work on the 15- song album handily demonstrates that Lauper has grown increasingly adept at writing in an array of styles.
Chiming mandolins accent the song "Take What You Got," while a snappy disco beat drives "Land of Lola" and "Sex is in the Heel." Then there are the surging rock guitar power chords in "Step One" and "Everybody Say Yeah," the rousing gospel flavor that lifts "Raise You Up" and the modified tango rhythm underpinning "What a Woman Wants."
"It's not modified — it's a tango-electronica," Lauper said Monday, speaking from her tour bus as she rode through New England. "With 'Kinky Boots,' I was able to do the full range of what I've studied my whole life, which is music, and it's one of the most exciting and creative experiences I've had. I'm very fortunate to be walked through this by some of the real Broadway greats, like Harvey and Jerry. These guys really are extraordinary."
Lauper's 2013 world tour begins Wednesday in San Diego. It celebrates the 30th anniversary of "She's So Unusual," the first album by any female artist to yield four Top 5 singles. They include "She Bop," "All Through the Night," the infectiously perky "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time." The combination of her accomplished singing and endearingly quirky, Betty Boop-like visual persona made for a winning combination, especially at a time when MTV was starting to explode.

In May came the Aam Aadmi Party's underwhelming performance in the Lok Sabha elections. A sharp exchange between two senior party leaders spilled into public view in June, drawing attention to the ferment within. Now, the young party is roiled by yet more internal disturbance — and this time it is playing out in the open.
Yogendra Yadav, ideologue and leading light of the party, and one of the two leaders who featured in the letter war last month, has expressed his "disappointment" with the party's decision — not yet final — not to contest the Haryana Assembly polls. Yadav's disagreement comes on the heels of party chief Arvind Kejriwal going public with his own view that, in the immediate term, AAP must not broaden its focus from Delhi.
Given the unambiguous position of the party chief, who hails from Haryana and is also its star campaigner, the apparent lack of finality of AAP's decision not to take the plunge in the state may be illusory. For the record, on Tuesday, the Haryana state executive lobbed the matter back to the party's national executive, which meets next week for three days in Sunam in Punjab. But it would be safe to say that the AAP won't be going to Haryana for this election.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Yadav pointed out that when asked to seek the opinion of party volunteers in June, the Haryana unit conducted meetings in 18 districts, with the questions and answers recorded in the presence of national observers, and 95 per cent said yes to contesting while 80 per cent wanted the party to contest all constituencies.
"It's a strategic difference," he says. "Arvind (Kejriwal) believes that contesting in Haryana or Maharashtra would affect our preparations in Delhi. That if we are not in a position to perform well in these states, we will bring down the party morale in Delhi. There is some truth to this."
He spells out his own objections: "We have already won a 4.25 per cent vote in Haryana — almost 5 lakh voters. Once you have created space for yourself, you mustn't vacate it. Once your voters go to someone else, they may not come back to you. Then what do you tell the volunteers, what should they do? Finally, if we do not contest a 'difficult' election, we invite the charge of running away again." A new election is the AAP's opportunity, he argues, to discover new leadership, expand its base and take up distinctive issues that no other party is taking up.
The apprehension about adverse results in other states …continued »

Championship football remains the aim for Gills goalkeeper Stuart Nelson.
He signed a two-year contract at Gillingham this summer without considering any other offers because he believes he is at the right place to realise his goal.
Nelson said: "We all aim to do stuff at certain times and I want to play in the Championship. When it happens, it will happen and hopefully it will happen here.
"I am not saying it needs to be done this year but I signed for two years and it is a bit more longer term.
"We have a good stadium here, the facilities are decent and we have a new manager now. He is having pre-season with us, instead of coming in and doing a bit of fire-fighting like he did last season and just trying to maintain our League 1 status. Now he is off scratch and it starts again.
"He is going to bring in his own players, which he wants, instead of having to deal with someone else's players that can make it hard. There are good times ahead for Gillingham."
Nelson signed a new deal at the Gills less than a week after the end of the season.
"It didn't take me two seconds to sign it," Nelson said.
"It was offered and I just took it – it was done so quick. I said after the player-of-the-year do, before the offer, that I love playing for this club and that was no lie. My only question was 'where do I sign?'
"I didn't look at whether there were other offers out there. I just took the contract and signed it. I wanted to play for this club and there is the infrastructure here to enable the club to push on.
"They have the ambition, the gaffer does and so does the chairman. I want to progress with my career and play higher so why go anywhere else? It has worked for me here so far and I just need to take it to the next level."
Nelson may not have looked for a move elsewhere this summer but admits he might have done had the Gills not been able to match his own ambitions.
"That's why I signed," said the 32-year-old former Notts County keeper. "If that wasn't the case I would have looked around and found maybe a number two position at a Championship club to get my foot in the door.
"But nothing beats playing. I want to play in the Championship, that's my ambition now, that's the next step for my career. I am ready to do that and I feel this is the best path to do that."

Grazing marsh was created from Medieval times by building sea walls (earth banks) across tidal mudflats and saltmarsh to make polders (although the term "polder" is little used in Britain). Polders in Britain are mostly drained by gravity, rather than by active pumping – the original tidal drainage channels were augmented by new ditches, and flap valves in the sea walls allow water to drain out at low tide, but prevent the sea or tidal river from entering at high tide. The process of constructing polders in this way is called inning or reclaiming from the sea.
Grazing marsh has been made in most lowland estuaries in Britain, often leaving only the river channel and the lowest part of the estuary tidal. In a few cases (such as Newtown Harbour on the Isle of Wight, and Pagham Harbour in West Sussex) the sea walls have been breached, and the estuaries have returned to a tidal state. Grazing marsh has also been made on open coasts where these are very low-lying.
Many grazing marshes were inned in stages, and the old sea walls (called counter walls) may be found marooned far from the current sea wall. The land levels either side of a counter wall often differ by several metres – paradoxically the lower side is the land inned earlier, because sediment could continue to build up on the side which remained tidal.
Wintering wildfowl are characteristic of grazing marshes, often including large flocks of Wigeon, Brent Goose, White-fronted Goose and Bewick's Swan. Many of these birds are hunted by predators such as Peregrine and Marsh Harrier.
In summer, waders such as Redshank, Curlew and Lapwing breed.
The ditches often have a range of salinity depending on how close to the sea wall they are. In the more saline ditches live specialist brackish-water plants and animals. These include for example the rare brackish amphipod Gammarus insensibilis and sea club-rush (Bolboschoenus maritimus). Fresher ditches may support rare animals such as the great silver water beetle (Hydrophilus piceus) and the great raft spider (Dolomedes plantarius), and a wide range of pondweeds (Potamogeton and relatives).
The grassland vegetation usually has a fairly small number of species, but those which do occur are often scarce elsewhere, such as sea arrowgrass (Triglochin maritimum), divided sedge (Carex divisa) and strawberry clover Trifolium fragiferum.
Many grazing marshes have been converted into arable land, often using pumped drainage to lower the water levels enough to allow crops to be grown. The low ditch levels and agricultural runoff combine to remove much of the aquatic wildlife, although the arable fields may still be used by some wintering wildfowl.
Some areas of grazing marsh and other polder land have been used to recreate tidal habitats by a process of managed retreat.
Many of the larger areas of grazing marsh bear nature conservation designations, including Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Area, Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar Site.
