Ivor,


It should be noted that throughout the period these heinous crimes were
committed, I had a contact order for unsupervised contact.

Someone should explain as to why the mother breaching the Contact order (see
breach (2) ) attacted no penalty for her at all, but got me 4 months for
trying to bribe her to comply with the order ?

And, perhaps someone can tell me the logic of giving me for months for giving
the children birthday presents on an unsupervised contact (breach 4). ?

I think this particular piece of Judicial abuse of power should be recorded
for future history, as this sort of behaviour is in the class of the Nazi
extremes, and in future may be viewed in the same catagory by historians.
