Maurice's El Alamein? In Search of Protection by Alun Cairns MP - from Welsh Courts, Police and NHS

2010-12-07T06:51:00Z

Today, in Barry Magistrates, Maurice escapes further imprisonment

An effective remedy before national authorities, that is Article 13 of the Human Rights Act of the European Convention for Human Rights. It was omitted from the UK Human Rights Act 1998.

I've seen it over and over again:

national authorities abuse their power over individuals
national organisations are immune to prosecution, thanks to their Royal Charter
courts and judges make their own laws as they go along - to cover their unlawful behaviour. See Corrupt Lawyers, Victims of the Legal Profession Society, Victims Unite!

Maurice has seen it as well. After over 20 fraudulent imprisonments and 12 weeks in a psychiatric clinic, a Warrant for Arrest is hardly an invitation to present himself to court, given that his hip operation is overdue since June 22nd, when it was last scheduled.

Today, following our direct complaint to the headquarters of HM Crown Prosecution Service in London, there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel.....MUCH more later.

So I sent this email to the solicitors of the NHS who were supposed to have contacted Maurice since November 19th.

In our online petition we spell out four other parties that could release those records. Do you think Christmas might bring an end to this "paid barbarism"???

While seeking asylum on the Channel Islands, Maurice produced this medical record. His request for asylum is here.

But for now, we're working on the reply to this remarkable document: a supposed Executive Summary of MAPPA meetings. It was produced on 24 August 2010 - to cover meetings between June and December 2009... Maurice received it after the judge ordered the release. But Maurice had asked for the minutes of the meetings, that he is entitled to...

South Wales National Health Service Falsified Medical Records

Dear Sir,

Graham Miles of Morgan Cole, solicitors, Cardiff, is hindering my communication with NHS personnel in order that my medical records may be released from Dr Tegwyn Williams and Professor Roger Wood.

Their joint records were presented to Cardiff Crown Court, last year, to obtain a section 41 under the 1983 Mental Health Act. Why does HM Court Service not release the court transcript or court log?

Why have numerous people, including you, received no replies from the South Wales area NHS manager, Mr Sissling, delegated to obtain that information for my anaesthetist, for my much overdue hip operation. Why do both doctors state I have ‘significant brain damage' and ‘possible brain tumour'? Why does the NHS refuse me another brain scan or examination now I am released from Cardiff prison?

Why does Edwina Hart AM continue to refuse to intervene? Why does Wales GMC appear to be sitting on their hands taking the whole thing as a big joke?

Are you prepared to intervene further or are we to resort to less orthodox methods of retribution?

Yours faithfully,

Maurice J Kirk BVSc

Dear Sir,

'Racially aggravated Public Order' Hearing, carrying 6 month prison sentence, Thrown Out

1. The Barry magistrates hearing today indicated illegal immigrants involved as I predicted to both CPS and police. Are you going to send me the disclosure on the list of issues asked for in my August letter? If not why not? Your 29th November 10 letter is a falsification of the facts.

2. Are you going to now release the medical records in the possession of the CPS, used by your department in the 2nd Dec 09 Crown Court hearing, returned to you by barrister richard Twomlow but urgently needed for my outstanding hip operation?

3. Are you now going to pay my costs of today's latest scandal?

4. Are you still agreeing the 2nd November 10 Cardiff Magistrates 'assault' conviction and issued warrant for my arrest, is to be reheard as indicated in your yesterday's. letter?

yours faithfully

A 12-minute interview that clarifies Maurice's dilemma and how he keeps going because he represents lots of people whose human rights have also been violated in the HM Court Service...

Maurice, a Drug Smuggler?

2010-11-21T19:37:00Z

Any ordinary observer, recently passing through Merdrignac, a small town in Brittany, may well have been mistaken on seeing two 'out of town' gentlemen seated facing a clearly tired, unshaven and worried old man on sticks. Was this Maurice, clearly under intense interrogation? Yes. Was he in trouble again, ‘Code Napoleon’ style? No.

Their persistent questioning was to establish just why this clearly extreme and never ending oppression by three British police forces, one after the other, had gone on now for nearly 40 years.

'Authority', it seemed, was intent in blocking Maurice's 'ease of travel', especially when there appeared a history of crossing country borders by less conventional methods, other than public transport.

Maurice believed it came from an edict handed down, 'in a fit pique', following an unfortunate incident in Taunton Police Station, far back in 70's. A high official, from within that dubious cabal called freemasonry, having first mislaid his Chief Superintendant's pocket note book, his day job. He may well have been the one who made that simple telephone call to trigger so much trouble for Maurice and his family.

Maurice’s way of life was soon ransacked by a particularly vindictive man from Cardiff, a Mr M R Jones of HM Customs and Excise Drug Squad. He led a search team through his home, garden, hangars and aircraft. He took away papers from the safe, one a letter from the Civil Aviation Authority, addressed to the Taunton police, rebuking them for their part in interfering with an Englishman simply going about his lawful business even if it was in some WW2 tired Auster aircaft, tied up with binder twine, flying between his farmer clients.

Then HM Customs and Excise Drug Squad really spent the money, in force, sending agents all over Western Europe interrogating anyone with whom he had done business with, importing derelict or ‘just about flying’ old aeroplanes. Jones had Maurice on remand in a number of UK HM prisons before all allegations, of suspected drug smuggling, were dropped.

Following his Breton interrogation, Maurice reluctantly concluded that, maybe, it was his history and general way of life that had first attracted authority’s attention, as it left an unusual pattern on the Police National Computer, PNC, for others to read years later. What the police call, a ‘modus operandi’ of a known villain. This, coupled together with the fact his high percentage of 'wins' in police courts and the way dubious charges were so often ridiculed, meant any unscrupulous police officer, of any rank, might well have been tempted to act incorrectly for his or her own personal gain.

People in ‘positions of authority’ are too easily angered, these days, if they perceive a ‘loss of control’ over someone within their own remit of work. Was it as simple as that?

What was plainly obvious to Maurice’s interrogators and confirmed recently, upon the conclusions of a medical examination by a doctor specialising in such matters, Maurice’s past history, of using unconventional transport to go about his veterinary business, was most likely, the key.

Resorting to such methods as flying old aeroplanes, when banned from driving, riding very fast motor bikes on foreign number plates, battling with seas in a sophisticated rigid inflatable for commuting,between both Guernsey and Alderney, in the Channel Islands, all year, sometimes in extreme weather conditions, are some examples but it was already ‘pouring fat on a roaring fire’.

"His disrespect for authority", came back the reply from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon’s Queen’s Counsel, in 2004, at the HM Privy Council Downing Street court hearing, following Lord Hoffman’s query as to, "why such apparent ‘trivial’ motoring offences" had been relied upon, in the lower court, to have Maurice’s name being removed from the veterinary register, for life?.

A chronology of events is to indicate, perhaps, just why the three police forces, Avon and Somerset, Guernsey and now South Wales, have all acted in such an extreme manner but it does not excuse any one of them from acting outside the rule of law.

1963. Maurice, after a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, very wet and worried, was seen by Austrian police clambering out of the water and running for his life up and over their river bank ,to hide behind a tree, as a Khrushchev controlled gun boat came charging down on him. He had just been washed into the full view of a machine gun post perched high up on top of a tower, on the other side. He had to swim back, in daylight but not at the pre-arranged ‘blind spot’ he had planned, along the hundreds of miles of the Iron Curtain. After his negotiating a heavily mined and recently dug up river bank, to detect foot prints, much barbed wire and live ammunition his hostile reception committee was but ‘small bear’.

He had, that week, paddled from Innsbruck, Austria, in his WW2 fragile, now, £6 folding canoe, to Passau, Germany, forgetting the finer points of crossing border etiquette. If it had not been for the night before, in some ancient Austrian police cell, down river, 'after casing the joint'', the brandishing gunned Austrian police would, no doubt, have taken a little longer view before finally releasing him.

1964. Maurice standing beside his home made wood and canvas canoe, pulled up on a Dover beach, was seen trying to persuade two, not so believing, bemused HM Customs Officers, that he had just paddled in from Calais, France, again forgetting French Customs rig marrolle, before his departure across the English Channel with only a crumpled brown 10 shilling note to his name.

That same summer he had already hitch hiked from New York to LA to Vancouver, Canada to Quebec and back for two nights, under a tree, in Central Park, on just £5. Ten Coca Cola bottles, picked up on the road side, bought food even if was a thoroughly tasteless loaf of soda bread.

1967. Maurice hitched over 5000 miles in Australia, living on Mount Kosciusko in his built igloo, around both North and South Islands of New Zealand before hiking the jungles of New Guinea from way North of Goroka down to Lae. A one-way half price student ticket, bought in Alice Springs for Ayers Rock, in another old Auster, to then walk on out, bound for Tasmania, was a ‘first’ he was told.

1969 to date. Maurice would never dream of landing at an airfield if he could possibly avoid it. As his father and oldest brother, Michael, always agreed, it was the most anti-social place for a private owner ever to find himself.

It usually meant:

First one had to get permission, with interminable delay and carry a licence and even a map.
No damned good, if your aircraft had no radio or there was more than one cloud in the sky.
Wearing one’s expensive tyres out on tarmac and then made to taxi miles to park, far from ones waiting friends at the airport bar.
Walking in the rain, so often, just to pay a fine at some way off control tower with an outside ladder!
Then have to get permission to leave and wait and wait, engine running, for other aircraft to land and take off.
But to cap it all, if she needed ‘go juice’, ‘motion lotion’, again one had to wait for it and have the ready currency, only to be charged ‘through the nose’ for it.

1969. Maurice, in a rented French Rallye Club ‘span can’, remembers taking a girlfriend and flat mate to Ireland, via South Wales, only to have argument over the multiple damaging ‘bird strike’ with an unyielding Swansea Air Traffic controller as to who was responsible for obstructions on the active runway!

1970. Maurice is hitch hiking, only in his wet suit and red bobble cap with a large whole leg of ham slung over his shoulder. His fastest single-sailer of its day, a Unicorn catamaran, left becalmed in Lyme Regis harbour, meant he had some sixteen miles to walk back to his job, in Bridport. He takes a lift but an austere black brief case on the back seat, bearing a gold portcullis insignia with ‘HM’ on top, dampened his enjoyment of his day. He is offered, by the smartly suited gentleman, his business card as he was investigating a ‘sighting’ of someone in the locality hawking, out of plastic black bags , around the pubs, export only King Size No 6 cigarettes and one litre bottles of Stand Fast Whisky, they do not roll around and break, for half UK prices. Maurice did not see him again.

1970. Maurice, with precious spare time on a week end off, would often fly, in the depths of winter, in his 50s wooden aeroplane, a French Sipa 901, fully aerobatic rumour had it, to Southern Ireland.

Flights to Donegal, Eire, for a week end’s duck shooting, meant it was inconvenient to fly in the wrong direction to Bristol or Exeter, just too clear Customs. Nor did landing at Dublin exactly guarantee a quick turn round to reach his brother, before dark, on a deserted beach near Burton Port.

Maurice seriously went wrong, on one occasion, during one of his hunting trips, 8 bore ,12 bore shot guns, rifle and faithful gun dog by his side, all stuffed in with a spare fuel can. Talbenny Airfield, West Wales, a WW2 derelict fighter base, had been chosen to ‘top up’. A pot hole on the runway, on his return from Eire, with passenger, meant Police and Customs and tracker dogs later found a deserted Sipa tied to a gate post. Sightings of a couple, with a large suitcase, hitching their way towards Somerset only caused more trouble. The fifteen pound fine that followed gave no indication of what was yet to come, where authorities were concerned.

Maurice did try Cardiff, almost on route to Dublin, later, in the mid 70s but that was a right catastrophe with South Wales Police arresting him on some trumped up ‘public order’ offence, only for him to win it in a newly built magistrates building in town nearby, called Barry. The clear hatred in the prosecutor’s eye, as he left the court room, caused Maurice to try and avoid Cardiff airport in the future.

1973. As day light was short, in order to get to the Ennislkillen Harriers Hunt Ball, Northern Ireland, in his AOP 6 WW2 Auster and flight duck at five on the following morning, landing at believed deserted Haverford West aerodrome, to ‘top up’ from a jerry can, in the back, proved yet another welsh mistake. South Wales Police demanded Customs clearance to Northern Ireland. Maurice waits for no Customs, he bluntly reminded them, IRA villains will never beat us. They refused to remove their police vehicle from his proposed flight path. The rumours of his crushing the police car roof in with his port strut, on takeoff, only to be then buzzed, at very low level in semi darkness, twenty minutes later, by a hurriedly scrambled Hawker Hunter jet, out RAF Brawdy, nearby, may not have enhanced Maurice’s future prospects in the Principality.

1977. Maurice then flew to the Isle of Man for the motor bike races. On the way back he cleared Customs at Swansea, another big mistake. South Wales police set about, in the teaming rain, to make him unload seven big boxes of Manx kippers and the island’s other delicacy, ‘Queenies’, only to start putting screw drivers to his engine and fuselage covers. Threats and the language that followed with Maurice demanding production of their aircraft engineer certification was also, possibly, not helpful.

Taunton Chief Superintendant’s note book now goes ‘missing’, seventy-two charges soon accumulate with violent arrests and police losing fifty-six ignominiously, in a string of both sick and hilarious magistrate and Crown Court hearings, primarily to stop Maurice either driving his car or flying his aircraft.

At around this time Maurice was approached to do one flight from the Continent for a mere £100,000. Having the experience to first pilot and then leave a perfectly serviceable aircraft at two thousand feet, in the dead of night, to delivery whatever appeared not a problem. Maurice reported the incident where others would have found it more prudent to have not.

Whilst sewing mail bags in Dorchester prison, he was again approached to do a drug-run, for similar money. Maurice was now wising up to the real world and so told no-one.

Whilst in Guernsey, Maurice was again approached, wined and dined, to no avail, as Maurice had the measure of the Guernsey police by now.

1979. Maurice was about to sit both his Air Transport Pilot’s and Flying Instructors exams but the authorities had other ideas. He is jailed for six months for flying an aircraft whilst drunk, when he was neither drunk nor the pilot. The latter, in the left hand seat and logging the hours, was visited at 10 at night by two burly ex-Metropolitan Police, for the CAA Investigation Branch, who threatened his licence if he does not turn ‘Queen’s evidence’.

What travesty then followed in Bournemouth Crown Court Maurice refuses to leave alone. Being unable to brief his barrister, whilst ‘on the hoof’, on the relevant aspects of flight safety, as prosecution evidence went seriously adrift, due to ignorance, Maurice being the only commercial pilot in the room but locked in dock could not communicate. A far different account, therefore, emerged on what really went on during that wet and windy night across the Channel from Brittany, in the depths of winter. Maurice never used a barrister again.

1981. The Guernsey ‘experience’ of over ten years with their total disregard for basic human rights, as a tax haven, is far too long to recount just now, but Maurice’s twenty-one times in jail, for example, with some fifteen or sixteen cases then dropped, a few days later each time, knowing Maurice’s team of lawyers in Taunton had no ‘right of audience’ to claim compensation, might indicate to the reader the malice generated.

Enough of storytelling, just to explain the reasons as to why three British police forces have colluded to pervert the course of justice.

Maurice and his helpers may never see the day, but the rule of law will finally prevail and ‘truth will out’.

Maurice In County Court

2009-07-28T15:04:00Z

Tuesday 28th July - Maurice has been taken to County Court today (handcuffed) r.e. his civil case.

It was adjourned again.

He did not have the necessary papers as he was not aware of this hearing until yesterday

He is continuing to refuse food to protest against his only option of appearing in court is by video link rather than in person.

He is very appreciative of letters that he has been receiving.

Maurice’s physical health is not good, he is 64 years old and should have been given bail as per Barry Magistrate's decision on 24th June (ie 5 weeks ago) prior to appeal by the CPS.

It is inhumane that he is being held in this manner. Maurice has been examined by a psychiatric team as directed by Judge Cook. We are not aware of any conclusions drawn.

Writing to Maurice

2009-07-08T10:36:00Z

Maurice is feeling extremely isolated from the outside world. He's alone in a cell for most of the day with nothing to occupy his normally hyperactive mind, and his wife Kirstie is very concerned for his health. She has asked whether anyone following this blog might like to send him a letter of support to lift him up a little? If you're so inclined here's how you can get in touch.

Leaving comments on this blog - You need to sign in using your account login details (username/password) or join the blog in order to leave comments. See the links at the top right hand side of this page. We'll print out the comments periodically and post them on to Maurice.

Sending letters/postal orders direct to Maurice - The following information should get a letter through to him.

In Jail Over WW1 Machine Gun

2009-07-02T10:03:00Z

Maurice Kirk wishes you to know that he is being held on remand in Cardiff Prison.

He was arrested on Monday 22 June and taken to Port Talbot Police Station. He was charged on Tuesday late evening and appeared before magistrates on Wednesday. The magistrates decided to bail him, but on CPS appeal he was sent to Cardiff prison and appeared before a judge on Thurs am. He was remanded until his prelim hearing on 6 July.

He is charged with possession of a firearm and offering it for sale. The firearm in question was a deactivated WW1 machine gun (no trigger, holes drilled into it) and made up of salvaged parts from other armaments for the sole purpose of looking good on the front of a replica DH2 aircraft.

He wishes it to be known that his arrest and search of the family home occurred after the weekend following the day he was required to exchange documents with the solicitors defending South Wales Police in his case against them for harassment. He failed to serve documents on 19th June as required by court order as the solicitors would not accept them.

Maurice has since been unable to telephone until he received money by postal order (ie after 6 days in prison). He has been visited and has said that he has no access to legal books etc.

He has a case by Jury in two months. We'll keep you posted.

HRH Prince Charles and now is it John Smith MP to the Rescue? Will Captain Kirk Lose his Licence?

2009-01-02T11:00:00Z

I decided to deliver my urgent letter to HRH Prince Charles, personally, but was thwarted by two burly policemen at the entrance to Highgrove House, Tetbury, Gloucestershire.

I was originally going to deliver it by 1943 Piper Cub, registration G-KURK and land her just outside the prohibited zone to walk the short distance to his Royal Highness's residence. Kirstie suggested that that was not such a good idea, bearing in mind my recent protracted stay in Texas State Lunatic Asylum, in Austin and subsequent deportation. This followed my failed attempt just to leave a 'thank you letter' at the front gate of President Bush's Crawford ranch, for saving my life. [US Coast Guard helicopter after my ditching in Caribbean near Haiti].

The police and I left on the best of terms but with their parting suggestion that I could always take the letter to the Post Office in Tetbury town raised the problem as who would be paying for it, if it were to be posted without a stamp bearing Her Majesty's portrait?

Anyway, I did not leave empty handed. There on the ground was a fine *** bird for the pot most likely one of the household's birds not picked up after the recent pheasant shoot!

It was then a drive down to Hampshire to continue work on the Cub for the flight to Cape Town or Mount Everest?

1st January 2009

Your Royal Highness,

HM Partnership and the state of our Welsh Courts

Twenty-one times the Guernsey Authorities locked me up in prison, invariably but for a few days, before charges were dropped. Generally they were of a trivial nature, created for but one purpose, to disrupt my single handed veterinary practice and to bankrupt me.

My sick partner had already left the island, almost penniless, for me to attempt redress through the local courts. He also had suffered under the feudal system, by his premises and our business and personalty having been fraudulently obtained by another veterinary surgeon, Alistair Macrae, only achieved by the unlawful conduct of lawyers waived through their incestuous system by HM de Vic Carey, the then current HM Procureur. Both Nicholas and I were denied United Kingdom legal representation.

De Vic Cary later, in 1987, gave evidence against me before the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, but his evidence was disproved causing the case against me to collapse. De Vic's grandfather, incidentally, during the Nazi occupation identified to the enemy young Jewish girls working in the hospital and on farms guaranteeing their fate in the gas chambers. Sir Winston Churchill wanted the man hanged but, with a change in government, he instead was knighted. I published copies of his collaboration papers and other evidence as to just why the Channel Islands were never to be trusted for the D-Day landings.

I left Guernsey abruptly after my life was threatened by the in-house freemasons, there being an ever increasing number of us now exposing to the world the appalling state of so called ‘British law and order' in both Jersey and Guernsey with their exploiting ‘insider dealing' and the drug trade.

Therefore, Your Highness, when I settled in the Principality of Wales and bought a veterinary practice in the Vale of Glamorgan, I expected some semblance of order and sanity. Instead over thirty law firms refused to act for me against the South Wales Police, once their ten years of harassment commenced.

Racial discrimination was palpable. This police harassment originated from Guernsey, as ‘disclosure' of documents later revealed. By way of example I was made to produce my perfectly valid driving documents well over thirty times and spent many days in police cells only to have cases repeatedly laughed out of court, while surveillance teams broke into my surgery and communicated with Guernsey where I had had my telephone tapped continuously (loud speaker in police station) for over two years.

In 1993 I had been dehorning beef cattle on Your Highness's farm at Boverton, Llantwit Major, only to find myself, within hours, locked up in some Cardiff police cell before prison for days on the pretext I was in possession of a ‘stolen motor cycle', a ‘garrote type instrument' and ‘could not be identified'! I had been bundled into a police car, in handcuffs, from the steps of my very own surgery with one old lady, I remember, clutching her sick Pekinese in her arms saying, "What are you doing with our vet?"

Fifteen years later, with all charges dropped and still no facts before any proper enquiry, the HM Home Secretary's lawyer now admits, in a Cardiff Court, that there is an ongoing six year investigation in Whitehall as to whether I am to be certified as a ‘vexatious litigant' or not.

HM Court Service, HM Treasury Solicitor and others have been made to confirm that at every major stage in my litigation, to obtain damages for over one hundred and twenty failed criminal charges and police conspiracy with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, to have my name removed from the register, HM Partnership was ordered to intervene, informing all parties but me.

For example:

1. HM Attorney-General, in around 2003, ordered all my civil and criminal cases, past and ongoing, be collected up from around the country and sent to his team of HM lawyers in Whitehall.
2. This meant my Appeal to the Court of Appeal for a Trial by Jury, a basic civil right, against the South Wales Police, was delayed for seventeen months with no explanation or apology.
3. This meant that when I employed a barrister, to brief him on the Cardiff court files, they were not there but more to the point no one would admit some are now lost or with HM lawyers.
4. This meant both Mr Justice Kay and later, Lord Thomas, stated my appeal from Swansea court was ‘hopelessly out of time'. The Court of Appeal stamp on my lodged papers clearly indicates in my favour, stamped but a few days from the Swansea Abuse of Process. These court papers were never before Mr Justice Kay or neither judges bothered to read them having already been told I was marked down as ‘vexatious in all fields' by Mr Justice Andrew Collins, in 2003, as so clearly indicated in HM Treasury Solicitor internal memos on http://www.kirkflyingvet.com/ .
5. This has meant my applications for HM Judicial Review, fifty or more, have been prejudiced from the start with perfunctory nanoseconds set aside for the purpose. I recall one of many before their Lordships, a Mr Justice Scott-Baker, coming to the Cardiff court clearly without the London lodged papers and rabbiting on about the wrong case.
6. This has meant my complaint of the conspiracy by RCVS lawyers, falsifying witness statements and deliberately misleading courts on the availability of witness evidence, enjoying immunity to prosecution by the 1967 RCVS Royal Charter, has become the best ‘Whitehall farce' to date.
7. This meant all court transcripts and tapes, now needed to prosecute, were copied to HM but the Cardiff court deny it, having destroyed originals before my case has even left the traps!

I ask, Your Highness, for your urgent intervention in the interests of justice and the Welsh community.

Yours truly,

Now, would you believe, John Smith MP, our representitive in HM Government, has arranged for us to go up to see him next week in the Houses of Parliament and discuss a 'few issues' about the current state of our judiciary.

The local newspaper has also printed an article about my visit to the Prince of Wales's Residence.

Not exactly the same outcome, is it, as to my impromptu visit to President Bush in Texas? Ah, but what is this, printed below?

What do you make of this Home Office memo to a local doctor if it is not another round with the CAA? No. I will write to our Prince again and see if His Royal Highness can help me retain my licence?

I remember flying back from an airshow, some years back, with Genevieve asleep in the 1940 Taylorcraft, when I experienced serious engine trouble over Highgrove House. Fortunately I had enough height to glide to His Grace the Duke of Beaufort's air strip at Badmington. The temporary disappearance of his new Range Rover and tea at The House is a far, far funnier story for me to tell and will be one for the daughter to recite one day.

Dear Dr .********

Please find attached details for your information. I spoke to one of your partners in April 2008 regarding Mr Kirk landing his light aircraft near the ranch of President Bush, when he was apprehended by US security services and received a psychiatric evaluation before being deported to the UK.

Mr Kirk has come to the attention of FTAC on 06/01/2008 when he attended Highgrove House where he attempted to hand in a letter to Prince Charles. I understand the letter was an account of his grievances against South Wales Police, against whom he has made 121 complaints.

After leaving HIGHGROVE he went to TETBURY Tourist Information and enquired if there was a rear entrance to HIGHGROVE (not given any info)

The purpose of my enquiry is to share this information with you and ascertain whether Mr Kirk's mental health might be an issue in these matters.

Can you please call me on *******........ to discuss.

Yours sincerely

Well Mum, you can blame Taunton School for a learning of my favourate quote:

13th January 2009

Your Royal Highness,

Since my humble petition of 1^st January, explaining HM Court Service's refusal to disclose the whereabouts of court file, marked, Maurice John Kirk - Potential Vexatious Litigant, HM Home Secretary has now obtained a court injunction to protect all four defendants, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, South Wales Police, HM Attorney General and herself from disclosing evidence or on any communications between them about me. They enter their seventh year, using HM Whitehall lawyers, in their attempt to have me certified as a ‘vexatious litigant' to block disclosure of malfeasance.

Each defendant has successfully claimed Section 42 Legal Professional Privilege, not to disclose evidence, in their joint investigations relating to removing my name from the veterinary register, prosecuting me in countless ridiculous Crown Courts and more recently, to having me unlawfully gaoled.

When I produced proof of HM Attorney General, employing the HM Treasury Solicitor and Mr Justice Andrew Collins, all identified on HM documents, the judge had to explain that the Attorney General may not have ‘legal professional privilege', as ‘an independent body' from judiciary and executive but when asked as to just how I had obtained so many confidential documents I felt obliged to offer many more memos between HM departments revealing their own respective agenda, all reflecting nefarious conduct.

I will appeal to the Court of Appeal and a fat lot of good that will do while HM judges continue to swear oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, giving agents of RCVS Royal Charter preferential treatment. These very same judges, identified in my fifty odd Judicial Review Applications, for disclosure, have clarified my complaint to have sufficient merit for some alternative intervention, lawful or otherwise.

Now my own doctor, today, has received a request from an HM government department, not a stone's throw from HM Attorney General's offices, purportedly following ‘complaint' from police, to consider as to whether I am mentally fit to fly my various aircraft and should I not immediately be sectioned?

I have few options left, in the pursuit of justice, other than to plead the notorious ‘Royal Prerogative'.

I remain, Your Highness,

Your obedient Englishman, whilst living in the Principality of Wales,

Complaint against HM Home Secretary, HM Attorney General, South Wales Police & RCVS.

Dear Sir,

Further to my complaint against the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons' refusal to disclose any ‘contemporaneous notes' of their investigation to have me struck off I cite further parties refusing to disclose very much related evidence, contrary to your 1966 Data Protection Act.

I enclose HM Attorney General's private law team, HM Treasury Solicitor's 5^th December 2009 letter, my 1^st and 13th January 2009 letters to the Prince of Wales and Abuse of Process Application details re South Wales Police's failure to disclose, referred to in JR Section 8,The Facts, by way of a summary leading to the obvious question.....How on Earth can all these claim Section 42 Legal Professional Privilege?

1. RCVS never disclosed to you their ‘notes' or identify their client(s) or lawyers did they?
2. South Wales Police deny police recorded incidents ever happened to avoid your DP Act!
3. Attorney General and his ‘private law team', when you examine HM 23^rd July 2003 internal memo, enclosed, has no legal right to withhold details of their communications with my defendants, RCVS and South Wales Police, have they? Communication and exchange of evidence was without my knowledge and refusing to disclose is not just an Abuse of Process it is contrary to Data Protection Act1966, isn't it?
4. Similarly, the Home Secretary's refusal to disclose information about me, [my complaint police disclosed confidential records to RCVS,] to have me certified, in the manner it was collected, affecting my ongoing litigation would also be unlawful if disclosure continues to be denied, wouldn't it? But what has HM Partnership told you to do about it?

Where on Earth is the evidence of ‘confidential client/lawyer communications' if they are not unlawful undermining my damages claims currently before the law courts around the UK? Just who are the clients and lawyers and where are the compulsory Law Society contracts?

Abuse of Process Application

Dear Sir,

Re your 30^th Dec 08 Court Application Refusing 17 years of Disclosure of Police/Crown Prosecution Service ‘Abuse of Process' by tomorrow

HM urchins in Guernsey, it appears, put me in good stead for my dealing with the obvious filth I have now been subjected to whilst here in South Wales and with those influencing the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons with their plotting with CPS and HM Partnership to deprive me of my livelihood.

I enclose 18th Dec 2002 letter [see recent downloads] to a Welsh Crown Court as a sample from of over 200 applications for disclosure of the usual police contemporaneous record in some 300 odd incidents, many leading to my unlawful incarceration. I asked at the scene, taped in custody, by letter the following day or in the 300 days or so of farcical Magistrate and Crown Courts not forgetting the most insulting of all, the 50 odd Judicial Review Applications before HM High Court judges fast asleep in the Royal Courts of Justice.

Leaked HM internal memos clearly indicate these judges were influenced by the HM Attorney General's personal intervention to block any further disclosure of the ‘conspiracy to pervert the course of justice' by the above mentioned. He failed miserably to have me certified as a vexatious litigant and so HM Partnership has stepped back into the fray to ‘*** up' any remaining legal process to which I am entitled as a British citizen currently living, but not for long, in the United Kingdom.

The incident before the 2002 Crown Court was used by the RCVS lawyers to have me struck off as a veterinary surgeon for life still refusing me, just as your client and CPS do, the identity of witnesses and copy of ‘contemporaneous notes' of their official enquiries. There is nothing new under the sun.

I disclosed to you 70 odd leaver arch files, ‘under my control', of my record of 10 years of harassment. I now have a similar amount since released from lawyers ‘not then under my control'. Do you need them?

You disclose the full record of the South Wales Police communicating with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, in order to prevent me practicing veterinary surgery and I will withdraw all current civil actions against your client, Barbara Wilding of the Chief of South Wales Police.

Yours faithfully,

Maurice J Kirk BVSc

JR Part 8 Facts For well over ten years now, in South Wales, I have suffered racial discrimination while asking successive courts to entertain my mounting evidence of Abuse of Process and general malfeasance by many employed by the tax payer supposedly to administer justice.

The sequence of documents below, pages 9 to 56, is but a sample disclosing relevant facts as to the scale of intrigue to which they stooped in order to prevent disclosure of favourable evidence in my cases. Disclosure was withheld by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and by their complainant, the South Wales Police, in order to have my name removed from the veterinary register.

Leaked HM Treasury Solicitor internal memos [p.11], CAA Legal Dept. [p.56] and my damages action led to HM 30^thSept 08 Application Notice to reveal there had been a six year ongoing investigation by HM Attorney General, attempting to have me certified as a vexatious litigant and for what purpose?

Documents below will disclose these three defendants have been aware of this investigation for years and have been consulted by other government officials, without my knowledge, as to the scale of disruption it is doing to all three court proceedings, disclosing evidence to the Ministry of Justice and Home Office(3rd defendant) the fact that the South Wales Police originally, having lost their 120 criminal charges, 35 times demanding to see valid driving documents, invited the RCVS to Cardiff Central Police Station to take away copies of confidential police records, contrary to Home Office Regulations 45/1987, some of which were incorrect. This falsified evidence by the RCVS lawyers remains unpunished.

Even the Information Commissioner, following my DPA and FOI Act Applications for the RCVS to disclose their contemporaneous notes of their interviewing my clients, deemed this evidence as ‘lawyer /client privileged'! There is little evidence that interviews were even conducted by a lawyer, to the contrary.

The RCVS and Commissioner's department refuse to disclose what ‘client information' was purportedly put before him to indicate my veterinary clients and the investigating police were neither competent nor compellable for the witness stand. My clients and a local magistrate and a teacher were but a few interviewed by outside agents and identified staff from the college. ‘Lists' served on the RCVS of when, where, why and by whom evidence was gathered, following the Legal Assessor, Mr Flather QC, laying down terms of reference in open court for RCVS to DISCLOSE, continue to be ignored because the RCVS is protected from contempt of court legislation under the 1967 and 1844 RCVS Royal Charters.

No contemporaneous record of the investigation relating to prosecution evidence used in court has ever been disclosed, contrary to Article 6 of ECHR 1948 or Human Rights Act 1998. HM Treasury Solicitor has supported it in his submissions in Cardiff County Court, only this month, saying the vexatious litigant enquiry is ‘confidential' while he, the police and the RCVS have all been consulting each other while many of my current and past court files have been gathered up from around the country's courts and lost. These ongoing cases, HMCS have just admitted, have had their court tapes destroyed before any substantive hearing has even started and while my appeals are ongoing on in the Court of Appeal.

Malfeasance by blackmail is not uncommon. In 2001 I was denied any witnesses of fact by the RCVS to counter the evidence by police called as prosecution witnesses. HM Treasury Solicitor's office, confiding with my witnesses [see enclosed 23rd July 2003 HM Treasury Solicitor internal memo, page 11], threatened me with a bill of £6000+ should I persist in serving witness summonses on the very HM lawyer needed to attend the RCVS hearing with the evidence I needed to prove most of the above.

Just why, after seventeen years of litigation, this started in 1992 and six years with a team of Whitehall HM lawyers, is this same enquiry still going on in secret and just who is paying for it all?

This JR Application is to reveal to a competent court evidence that the defendants, RCVS, South Wales Police and now Home Secretary are in ‘harmony', refusing my right to be a member of the profession simply so I cannot get access to the college records to clear my family's name.

This so far undisclosed reason by the RCVS for failed disclosure is disproportionate to my refused right to practice veterinary surgery and is an Abuse of Process and requires criminal investigation.

The manner in which all three enquiries against me were conducted was an Abuse of Process.

Failed disclosure by the South Wales Police, denying incidents such as police breaking into my surgery with a crow bar and sledge hammers, locking me up in Cardiff prison saying "he cannot be identified" and denying court cases ever happened, can only be sorted in a criminal court, not some Welsh civil court behind closed doors denied a civilian jury.

Whilst lawyers continue to bury evidence of this once simple case of police harassment, with their tactics to delay ‘due process' at every turn, this never ending game of gutter warfare, purely to fuel the ‘gravy train', will soon make Charles Dickens's ‘Jarndyce and Jarndyce', as an example of avaricious attorneys, looking more like a mediocre mélange of a teddy bear's picnic crossed with Lewis Carol's Mad Hatter's tea party. But who out there really cares that the culprits, clear criminals, always get paid?

Extract from Shedule7 of 1998 Data Protection Act

Legal professional privilege

10. Personal data are exempt from the subject information provisions if the data consist of information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege or, in Scotland, to confidentiality as between client and professional legal adviser, could be maintained in legal proceedings.

This interpretation of law, upon which all three defendants purport to rely, is yet another abuse. ‘The Royal Prerogative' allows each, in turn, to refuse disclosure of relevant evidence gathered by their respective investigation teams to prosecute Maurice John Kirk because each judge in turn has been made to swear allegiance to the Queen instead of the citizens who are paying for the ‘gravy train'.

It stinks, doesn't it?

FAO CAA Medical Examiner,

11^th Jan 09

Dear Dr,

HM Treasury Solicitor- 7 year Vexatious Litigant Enquiry

Refused Medical Certificate to Fly Aircraft, pending further Information

Leaked HM Treasury Solicitor 23^rd July 2003 memo, enclosed, reveals the CAA have also been made by the HM Attorney General to communicate, as Defendant, with the HM team of Whitehall lawyers, in their joint attempts to have me certified.

May I suggest you ask for disclosure of those CAA documents when considering whether I am to be certified to fly or not?

Both the Royal college of Veterinary Surgeons and South Wales Police refuse to disclose anything on the matter of this 7 year HM Attorney General investigation.

My Abuse of Process Application, citing the damage it has done to my veterinary, flying and family life, is repeatedly swept under the carpet by successive judges because I hold the proof of misfeasance and criminal conduct by lawyers.

It may not surprise you to know my FOA and Data Protection Act Applications, to make CAA's Mr Stephen Williams disclose this HM Partnership interference, bore no fruit, yet.

So just whom am I expected to believe, bearing in mind it was the CAA that had me put in prison in 1980, destroying my aviation career, on trumped up evidence, sending bully boy retired police officers around to witnesses at the dead of night saying, "if you do not give evidence against Kirk we will take your licence instead"? I had been neither the pilot, registered owner nor drunk, contrary to the way the CAA lawyers put it to the ‘bemused' in Bournemouth Crown court.

I have sent you some fax material and an e-mail earlier this morning concerning my licence suspension in May 2008, pending enquiry, following my encounter with the US Department of Homeland Security, Texas, with subsequent deportation.

I have now found the document you need, enclosed. I made the doctor in Texas State Lunatic Asylum, Austin, write out and sign, witnessed before me, before I would agree to leave the hospital building to pursue my rights in court convened upon my insistence. The British Consulate clearly kicked up a fuss and I thank them for it.

US Authorities arrested me while I was on a country stroll in Texas, trying to get a photograph of a scissor bird. While in chains I saw neither the President's Men ,FBI, The Sherriff nor his many deputies make any written record at all of my incarceration other than the details from my passport and home address. They ALL refused to write down my detailed statement of explanation. The FAA told me,witnessed by others, I had committed no aviation offence in landing in the farmer's field many miles from Mr Bush's ranch.

My demand for a ‘Habeus Corpus document', where I had been and that I was still alive, was because no ‘audit trail', to date, appeared to have been created during my detention, as far as I could see, either at road side, 11 police vehicles, in Waco Prison, Waco hospital or in various police cars and now, in State Lunatic Asylum . Not dissimilar to my experiences with the RCVS, refusing to disclose any contemporaneous notes of their enquiry. I do not frighten easily but what I witnessed in Texas, up until US guards let go of me at Gatwick Airport, is a stark warning to the world. My web site on downloads, http://www.kirkflyingvet.com/, publishes the local paper saying the police state I was not even arrested!

I demanded such a document, as I do for all custody records, be created by my captors for I have found so often, without such record, RCVS, police and now the CAA, rarely believe a word I say and will spend a small fortune to prevent me enjoying respective ‘privileges' my qualifications were supposed to guarantee. No police escorted me to my aircraft in the cow field, as the doctor's note portrays, they were seen gathered under the trees, half a mile away, with surveillance gadgets and a ‘surface to air' missile, no doubt.

I went with witnesses to the court hearing in the Texas hospital only to be told by a lawyer there, again witnessed by Alvin Howell, the case had, as the attorney put it, "air- brushed out"! Court officials refused to let me get access to any public record of its existence. Good ‘Old Uncle Sam' and so called human rights.

I chased over 50 JR Applications in that ridiculous building, the Royal Courts of Justice, London, knowing full well the lawyers in the RCVS would use those trivial motoring convictions to have me struck off. I believe HM intervention was originally to investigate the South Wales Police conduct following my complaints but everybody is keeping their traps shut.

It was encouraging to see the way the June 08 CAA memo described these minor South Wales convictions. A pity someone in the CAA could not back me on that point against the RCVS, refusing my right to practice veterinary surgery.

It is therefore of interest to me that the HM Attorney General instigated, both in 2003 and last year, an enquiry with the CAA to get information from their Legal Department to get me certified. I must start new applications concerning failed CAA disclosure.

To be certified as a vexatious litigant does have its advantages. I could not think of anything more enjoyable as to never ever having to enter such sewers of depravity, UK court rooms, each in there trying to outdo the other by their level of deceit.

Please pass this e-mail on to the CAA department withholding the information I feel you require.

Yours sincerely,

Maurice J Kirk. BVSc

Judicial Review Application 19^th January 2009 C0/397/2009

Dear Sirs,

Abuse of Process

I have been forced to lodged a Judicial Review Application for my family and worldwide web site readers in order to inform those expressing concern about your apparent ‘cosy relationship,' in the HM Partnership, in ongoing litigation in UK courts against fellow ‘litigants in person', unable to obtain independent legal representation.

All three of you refuse to disclose evidence gathered during your respective investigations in order to have me punished, struck off or jailed.

All three of you, in court, have relied on Section 42, ‘legal profession privilege'.

The RCVS and HM Treasury Solicitor have been challenged under the 1966 Data Protection Act to reveal your communications about me.

The Information Commissioner has interpreted the purpose of the Act by stating the RCVS ‘need not disclose the evidence', gathered from my own clients, by lay staff of the college, not even to him. His communications with the RCVS, supporting this argument also, of course, remains ‘privileged'!

The HM Treasury Solicitor, in court last week, on behalf of the HM Home Secretary again refuses to disclose anything concerning the 7 year investigation on me where the HM Attorney General' ordered all three of you defendants to communicate with each other and disclose the undisclosed evidence, in respective ongoing court cases, without my knowledge and contrary to law.

Supply evidence, to which I am entitled and I will withdraw most Actions currently before courts.

Dear Sir,

General Patton's WW2 D-Day Piper Cub Reg. G-KIRK

A pilot in England must never admit to be suffering from depression or he may lose his licence. I know.

In February this year, about a hundred miles off Haiti, Caribbean, my US army 1943 Piper Cub experienced engine failure and ditched in the sea. For the next three hours I huddled, freezing in a leaky life raft, waist high in water, desperately trying to keep my satellite distress beacon up out of the water!

Just as the sun was going down, expecting to be breakfast for the sharks, I heard the magic drone of a ‘gurt' black and red US Coast Guard Jay Hawk helicopter, out of Greater Inagua US Air Base, piloted by Julie Kuck with her merry rescue team.

Safely on dry land I quickly bought another aging J3 Piper Cub in Daytona, Florida, in order to carry on my life's dream, a ‘flight around the world'. I had competed in the 2001 London to Sydney Air Race sponsored by a benevolent Arizonian who, having read my web site, laughed so much paid my $50,000 ticket! A world record from Norfolk Island to Brisbane, Australia for a J3 Cub and then engine failure with a spectacular crash, in Japan, are just a couple of stories in my travels.

Then things in Texas all went, may I suggest, somewhat ‘pear shaped'.

Whilst ‘test flying' the new (1946) little yellow Cub out of a field near Houston, Texas, before setting off for the Falkland Islands, South America, I decided to thank you, as C in C, for saving my life. The plans were to land near Crawford and walk/taxi into the P49 Restriction Zone and deliver a note, similar to this, at the gate of your Texas residence.

I have been, I believe, quite misunderstood and was arrested and deported back to UK with a suggestion from the US Embassy suggesting I will not be allowed to re enter the United States of America again. The Federal Aviation Authority [enclosed], however, telephoned me personally to assure me my flight, subject to paperwork, landing in farmer Hawkins's field, near Crawford, was no aviation offence.

I humbly request that I may be allowed to retrieve my little Cub in Houston and fly her direct across the Mexican border, one way, in order I may fulfil my dream of flying the Andes and to our British outpost.

Pehaps I should write to the 'new man' and offer my General Patton D-Day Piper Cub for the Smithsonian Museum?

I must invite President Barck Obama to read an American's account of the 2001 London to Sydney Air Race, below:

from Air & Space / Smithsonian, June-July 2001)

"She's a very tired old girl," said Maurice Kirk of his 58-year-old Piper Cub, British registration G-KIRK, when they reached Sydney, Australia, last April. "She's lost a magneto, her fabric's coming off, and just about everything has broken that could." Kirk was tired too. The British veterinarian is only two years younger than his aircraft.

Their journey along the London-Sydney Air Race 2001 course took them halfway around the globe, nearly 14,000 miles. They flew 200 hours in 28 days, with only a single rest stop in Thailand, and that one given over to oil-sump repairs. G-KIRK was throwing oil, so Kirk doubled the sump's capacity by welding an extension to it. All the other sanctioned rest days were spent catching up with the race, which celebrated a century of Australian federation and re-created the "kangaroo route" air race of 1919. The winner was Spirit of Kai Tak, a state-of-the-art Piper Aerostar crewed by four Brits from Hong Kong. Thirty-seven teams left from Biggin Hill near London on March 11, and all but six were on hand for the triumphant fly-past of Sydney Harbor on April 8.

Which didn't include the gallant Piper Cub. G-KIRK was disqualified on the first day, when Kirk landed in a pasture west of Lyons, France, instead of Cannes, the official landing site, to the annoyance of police and race officials. "It was logistics," he later said. "They couldn't cope with the [60-knot] Cub. Or was it Maurice Kirk? I forget which." Nontheless, Kirk forged ahead, now just along for the ride.

When delivered to the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1943, G-KIRK had a 12-gallon fuselage tank and a range of 190 miles. That would hardly suffice for race days that averaged 500 miles and sometimes double that. Kirk learned that an American had once fitted his Cub with wing tanks from a Piper Colt; the modification had been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and was therefore legal in Europe.

Now G-KIRK could carry 50 U.S. gallons. For a reserve, Kirk cached four plastic jugs in the cabin and snaked a tube through the window to the fuselage tank. In Calcutta, this rig actually put him ahead of the field: airport authorities neglected to send out a tanker of aviation gasoline, and deployed only one tanker the next day. The last contestant didn't get off the ground until 3 p.m. Kirk, meanwhile, refueled the night before with the help of a taxi, a nearby service station, and his jerry cans.

When Kirk set off from Biggin Hill, G-KIRK had sported a wind-vane generator between its landing struts, which powered a 12-volt fuel transfer pump. Alas, the generator failed in Saudi Arabia. Kirk thereafter relied on a hand wobble pump. This in turn failed while G-KIRK was flying across "some sea," as his wife Kirstie, coping with hoof-and-mouth disease at a veterinary hospital in Wales, described it on their Web site.

The sea was the Bay of Bengal, and Kirk managed to glide down to a Burmese beach for repairs. "They were all in skirts and treated me royally," he reported. "They fed me. It was fantastic."

G-KIRK also made unauthorized landings in Egypt, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia, further alienating Kirk from officialdom while making him a hero to everyone else. He broke the monotony by occasionally cutting the engine, skimming down to 20 feet above the ground, and shouting to woodcutters or fishermen: "Hi! I'm on my way to Australia!"

Race rules required Kirk to carry a radio and a GPS receiver, which could fix his position by satellite. He preferred his old school atlas, plotting his course between "the pink bits" that once marked the far-flung British Empire.

The East Timor Sea, from Bali to Darwin, was the most difficult crossing: 500 miles, with the wind against him. Kirk got a head start by skipping to the island of Sumba, where he jettisoned his blind-flying gear, spare clothes, and the gifts he'd accumulated along the way.

"Just as the sun began to show itself, I took off against 10 mph headwinds," Kirk rhapsodized by cell phone from Sydney. To minimize the effects of the headwind, he flew 20 feet above the water, which led to a close encounter with two whales. He says he landed at Darwin with 15 minutes of fuel remaining and half an inch of oil on the dipstick.

On the final leg, to Coolangatta, G-KIRK threw two of the six bolts that secured its wooden propeller, which cracked. Happily, Lyle Campbell of Arizona had volunteered to carry a spare prop in his Grumman Albatross, the second oldest airplane in the race. Campbell had also underwritten Kirk's $25,000 entry fee, and he and other contestants ferried Kirk's daughter Belinda to Australia after race officials threw her off the dignitaries' aircraft in the Mideast.

At journey's end, Kirk's principal regret was that police helicopters kept him away from the Sydney Harbor Bridge. (G-KIRK was of course banned from the fly-past. It wasn't officially a contestant, and anyhow it didn't have a radio adequate for formation flying.) "No one has ever looped that bridge," he marveled. "Can you believe it?"

Flying vet saga takes a new twist after the US authority‘s deportation threat

Friday, 09 May 2008

THE Vale's ‘Flying Vet' Maurice Kirk, is again behind bars in America - and is claiming that he was arrested in a swoop by the US ‘Secret Service'. Maurice Kirk's American troubles started when he landed his plane near the Texas ranch owned by US President George Bush. He was arrested by security officials - who doubted Mr Kirk's explanation that he wanted to deliver a personal ‘thank you' to the President after the US Coastguard rescued him earlier this year, when he was forced to ditch in the sea. Since the Flying Vet's problems in Texas began, his blog has been up-dated by his wife Kirsty. In her latest entry, she has reported that he has been arrested by the "secret service" and is now being held in the deportation unit. Mrs Kirk said that he had been invited to a restaurant for a beer (probably last Thursday, May 1) and was sitting outside on a bench with local residents when he was picked up by the police. Mrs Kirk said the reason given was that "he had been seen wandering around town aimlessly with a gas can". She continued: "M (Maurice) believes that the secret service traced him to this location by him using his credit card, and the public intoxication charge was used to hold him until the secret service arrived." Mrs Kirk then went on to say that an immigration official had told Maurice his original act of landing his plane near the President's ranch, was "a criminal activity which endangers public safety" - and that that would be the reason for his deportation. She said that he was offered a deal, whereby he would be driven to the airport to board a flight to London - and would not be deported. However, Mrs Kirk said that her husband refused to have "charges on his record for offences he did not commit". She added: "When he refused, they shackled him in hand and ankle cuffs, and he was taken to the deportation centre in Houston."
