Happy 70th Birthday from 12.3.45 to 12.3.15 - on £15.50 a week

2015-03-11T21:04:00Z

Today Maurice was visited by a member of the Independent Monitoring Board.

He was complaining that he should have had a rise in the amount of money he was allowed to access each week. Because of charges which were periodically recorded against him but never proven or even investigated internally he has been on basic funds (£15.50 a week).

If he held a clear record for over 3 months he was entitled to an enhanced amount (£25.50). He has been due this sum for a very long time but each time he complains, he is given another excuse as to why he does not qualify. He discussed this with Governor D K Richards today who suggested 'take it up with the landing staff'.

This is were it always starts. Each member of staff passing the buck like a rugger ball except the field is circular not linear.

The IMB member said he was not entitled because he is using his cell as an office! Before that it was 'because you use too much paper'.

This extra money is vital if he is to conduct his defence or his civil case against the South Wales Police as it gives him access to stamps, phone time, stationery and a few treats such as soap. Where did the order come from denying the rights to Maurice that other prisoners are entitled?

His tenacity of spirit is the most miraculous gift Maurice is giving to the world on this birthday - after having been inside since October 2013!

Bring this man before the court.

The history of malfeasance in the courts goes on

2015-01-19T22:00:00Z

The Magistrates court has consistently refused to reveal the Clerk of the Court's notes regarding 1st Dec 2011 case ending the first harassment process against Maurice J Kirk despite several judges in higher courts asking for it to be done.

As recently as 24th March 2014 there is a request from Judge Crowther in Cardiff Crown Court "I am going to ask, of course, that Mr Smyth sees to any orders for disclosure that have previously been made in these cases and if any orders made for disclosure which have gone unfulfilled, are outstanding, they MUST BE FULFILLED." case: T20131144

This is to do with the ordinal 'serving' of the Restraining Order which Maurice knows was never served on him on 1st December 2011. It transpires that earlier in the afternoon he was shown a draft in handwritten form but never the official document. He had been removed from the custody suite before it was served! It was only during the recent Bristol case that it was revealed that this was the case.

This means that all the subsequent jury trials were invalid and he was HELD ON REMAND ILLEGALLY. Now still in HMP Swansea he is due at the High Court later this week in South Wales, venue to be confirmed, and he is pushing the Prison Service to produce him.

THE LAST TWO COURT CASES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITHOUT HIS PRESENCE DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PRISON SERVICE AND GEOAMY, THE TRANSPORT COMPANY WHO APPEAR TO HAVE MORE POWER THAN THE JUDGES. More of this heinous story to follow...

Please do sign the petition, as it triggers emails to the people who could / should make a difference: Please release Maurice J Kirk BVSc from HMP Swansea because he is in mortal danger!

Dear Mr Wiltshire,

Re Maurice J KIRK A7306AT

As Maurice's sister I have been appalled at the treatment metered out by the lower echelons of your staff. On 24th November he was manhandled by officers out of his wheeled chair and bundled into the van en route to court. I believe that the GeoAmy crew refused to move him out of his plastic box and so he missed his vital court case.

Since he has been with you :

no post for over three weeks
not allowed any visitors despite filling up the list on 19th Nov
no wheelchair only a chair with small wheels which requires staff to manoeuvre
all complaint forms filled never reaching their destination only staying on the wing (in the bin?)
no notice of a court appearance in Cardiff (12th Dec14) .
Two staff came to fetch him with no warning and in the time he had to get glasses, paper and pencil the transport left without him.
At the time (12th) he had been with you since 19th Nov he had had no bath or shower
no change of clothes • no change of bedding
no ability to phone out to anyone
no visit by a doctor despite continuing aggressive abdominal pain.

Under these circumstances it is no surprise that he was not even fit to be seen outside the prison gates. My brother has a grievance that the authorities in Wales are keen to suppress. A Psychiatrist made a false report about the condition of his physical brain in October 2009. He has been trying to get this report overturned after receiving medical evidence that it was untrue. Bungling by the court service in Cardiff has compounded his situation and he has had to go to extreme lengths to prove his case. The involvement of the South Wales Police in this whole matter has been extreme such as branding him MAPPA 3 which is clearly nonsense and only aimed at preventing him for finalising his civil case against the South Wales Police for over 22 years of harassment.

The Prison Medical Service has also not covered themselves in glory. It maybe that they only want to work with addicts but in my brother's case they are dealing with a talented veterinary surgeon who just wants a diagnosis/prognosis and appropriate treatment . Not the barbaric behaviour used by your staff last Sunday when he was wheeled to his bathing area where he ran a bath, rang a bell for help to get him into it only to be ignored for seven (7) hours. In that time he ran six to eight baths, rang the bell, water went cold, ran another bath. Nine o'clock at night five staff arrived and dragged him back to his main cell area but failed to notice the bath was filling. It flooded bathroom and cell. Again no-one answered his bell of alarm. Since then he has paid for it by no hot water flask, no breakfast, no lunch, no photocopying facilities for his appeal court papers, no anything!

He managed a quick call to me yesterday stating that important court post from 21st November had only now been delivered. Do you call this justice?

But prison and its medical 'service' is not enough, it's also malfeasance by court staff, as Maurice points out below:

Dear Sir,

Regina versus Maurice John Kirk
Failed 1st December 2011 'harassment' Conviction Disclosure of Public Record

1. Further to your deadline given of my having to lodge final documents by 24th December 2014, despite the conditions under which this 'forced to be' litigant in person is incarcerated, please find enclosed 27th March 2014 unambiguous Crown Court Order in the form of official transcript (pp37F-41H).

2. CPS admission that I will get original 'clerk of the Court's notes' is now a complete joke as they will now be 'modified'.

3. You will note that I was both dumbstruck and extremely deaf as not only the usual defendant 'inaudible' comments are redacted on the transcript but corrupted on tape just like the RCJ Royal College of veterinary Surgeons/Lord Thomas Saga!

4. I completely misheard the CPS admissions of the clerk of the court's notes will record his assurances to Mr Barker, the custody manager, (see May 12 transcript) in 1st Dec 2011 cells, that of the time when the 3rd version of mythical 'restraining order' was served.

5. I will serve on your court my hospital audiogram and later fitting of hearing aid record all far too late for your March Jury Trial now on Appeal deliberately convicted behind bullet proof MAPPA3/3 glass despite my complaining I could hear little (confirmed by dock custody staff).

6. The 'notes' will identify allegation No 3, 'my' posting of a Wanted Poster and argument of 'abuse of process' as CPS had overlooked the fact I had already served the Recorder of Cardiff's custodial sentence when none of the original allegations carried such a required tariff. It stinks doesn't?

7. And 1st Dec 2011 'gate arrest' withheld police records?

PS I am still refused a laptop to type this.

Here is the document proving his hearing difficulties aka deafness.

Here are the 6 pages of the court hearing relating to the CPS having got hold of the court documents but never reached Maurice.

Will you at least sign the petition to release Maurice, as it triggers an email to everybody who could and SHOULD make a difference???

How to sabotage a parole hearing

2014-11-03T02:30:00Z

Here is the latest info on the situation in Swansea gaol from Maurice's sister;

It is clear that the staff in Swansea Gaol have been given orders to completely ignore requests from Maurice Kirk. This will have been done by MAPPA via the 'governor' in charge of security Andy Phillips who accused Maurice of assaulting him from his almost defunct wheelchair. Maurice was aware that at least two CCTV cameras would have recorded the event but this evidence was never used.

Adjudication was booked for last Monday (27th October) but the chairman of the Independent Monitoring Board was in and spoke with Maurice so it was delayed to allow Maurice to get a lawyer. Despite phone numbers supplied the Prison (MAPPA) refused to allow him to make a call to a lawyer. The Wednesday was fixed for a hearing but again the IMB member was available; it was delayed again so witnesses could be identified. On Friday it was suddenly called when there was no independent witness (IMB report of Swansea for Yr 2012/13 mentions that frequently adjudications were held without them because of short notice). An internal governor was the adjudicator,(Jaeger). Maurice was denied access to a lawyer, CCTV evidence and the witness he wanted to call was called by the Prison to sing lies on their behalf having changed his story. (He was a prison officer who had told Maurice that he had not been aware at the time that an assault had taken place even though he was feet away!) This was because no assault DID TAKE PLACE. Now Maurice is on the lowest level of 'privileges'; access only to £4 a week canteen money (stamps, pens, paper, envelopes), reduced time of free association, access to cd's etc etc, a situation he never climbed out of at HMP Cardiff.

This is all to blacken his Parole Hearing as they have no grounds to keep him locked up as admitted by members of Probation (also under MAPPA)

Now, despite hours of agony during the day (it was only in the middle of the night before) and lying on the floor of his cell as he was unable to get on his bed, no medical help is ever summoned. The chaplain is told 'porkies' when he enquires after Maurice's health. If you have had bad stomach cramps you know that one minute you are writhing in agony and the next the pain has gone and you can get on with your life with just the exhaustion of it all lingering on. You can imagine the fatigue Maurice feels after three hours curled up on the floor. Maurice had to pay a fellow prisoner to alert me to the situation as no-one would come to his aid.

Some rare news from Maurice

2014-10-22T23:17:00Z

Since he was released from Cardiff prison in July and then imprisoned again for no good reason other than to keep him from revealing the truth

about the Cardiff cabal, Maurice has been severely restricted in the information he can get out.

Fortunately, despite all his contacts being removed from his "approved" list of phone numbers there is still one member of his family that he is able to communicate with. Yesterday he called and summarized his position thus:

I have not had a single warning issued to me but now I find that I am up for a disciplinary hearing next Monday for assault. The Prison Staff maintain that I have assaulted someone at a particular location in the wing. They have declared that they have evidence but refuse to use CCTV evidence that would have filmed the incident from a camera in full view of the position. They do use another camera that does not/cannot show the actual 'incident' and they refuse to identify the 4 or 5 staff who were in the immediate area nor any of the prisoners who must have seen what actually happened as they are on the video tape. What makes this look so strange is that the exact same method was used to convict me of assaulting a Prison Officer Rogan in the Cardiff vehicle lock when I put my hand on his arm to make a citizen's arrest when at least six cameras would have recorded the incident clearly. The powers-that-be are desperate to keep me inside as long as possible so that I cannot continue my civil court case nor gain the organ of publicity which would expose the falsehoods, mistakes and cover-ups which purport to be Justice in South Wales today.

Dear BBC, does MAGNA CARTA apply to Maurice J Kirk BVSc? Can you get him released?

2014-10-16T22:24:00Z

One of Maurice's supporters wrote:

Dear BBC

You feature the Magna Carta and its anniversary date in your news programme. You tell us that enshrined in the Magna Carta is the right to a fair trial and that right is still relevant today. Tell that to Maurice Kirk who is languishing in a Welsh Prison. He is being denied almost every basic human right going, these human rights are supposed to be set in stone. He is even being denied a critical operation. If you treated a dog like this you would be prosecuted. You paint such a rosy picture. Please BBC come to the rescue of 69 year old Maurice John Kirk an honest, honourable and very principled man to say the least, surely it’s your duty.

We therefore now have a petition where every signer triggers an email to the BBC and to two Ministers of Justice: it is based on Tony Gosling's interview with Maurice's sister that he turned into a beautiful video and says:

Investigate South Wales Police, Welsh Judiciary, Prisons and whoever pulls the strings in London to Release Maurice [A7306AT] from HMP Swansea asap!

OPEN EMAIL 2 #HMPSwansea #Governor after visit by #Prison #Inspector Nick Hardwick #mauricekirk

2014-10-15T11:27:00Z

Dear Governor

OPEN EMAIL

In the wake of Mr Nick Hardwick’s inspection of HMP Swansea, this is to ask what prevents you from ensuring that Mr Kirk

1. gets the medical attention he has been needing for weeks;

2. can telephone not only his sister but also his McKenzie Friends and has access to his money for that purpose;

3. can advance his proceedings as directed by HHJ Seys Llewellyn, since he has to act as Litigant in Person?

More on http://wp.me/p13xk8-xO and http://kirkflyingvet.com/blogs/news/default.aspx

Whilst writing, can you assure me that emails sent via Email a Prisoner do get delivered, and with what kind of delay?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours faithfully,

Sabine K McNeill

Maurice's sister on DialectRadio with Tony Gosling - a great account of a great cover-up by South Wales Police

2014-09-24T21:33:00Z

This video is an excellent summary of the ordeals that originated with that 'medical' report about a brain tumour that never existed. But the General Medical Council can't do anything about that false report... Nobody EVER takes responsibility, let alone say SORRY and COMPENSATE... "We have to become less punitive" said John Hemming MP once...

HHJ Seys Llewellyn coming to the Rescue of Maurice in HMP Swansea!?

2014-09-17T17:59:00Z

It must have been like Christmas for Maurice when he got this letter. He had always trusted that there are good judges and good politicians 'out there' who can make the difference necessary.

HHJ Seys Llewelly writes It is now more urgent than ever to finalise my judgement.

That OBVIOUSLY required not only access to his papers, but also a laptop and printing facilities.

Well, he eventually got it, but then access to money is missing so that he can send documents to court...

The documents that he produced to illustrate his ordeal are:

a position statement of 12 September 2014 regarding telephone monitoring and MAPPA
HM's Daily Spoonful of 'Treacle Treatment' of 09 September 2014
a position statement of 04 September 2014 regarding the temporary release in July and subesequent recall
a press statement of 10 July 2014 regarding the extreme and exceptional bullying and harassment by South Wales Police - no matter where Maurice happens to be.

May the tide be turning at long last! For more and more people are waking up to

sex and money as the big traps for Britons to park their conscience and do evil rather than be kind to their fellow humans
Britain not really being as it appears to be
the legal profession being bought by banks any time - whether for fraudulent purposes or not.

Litigants in Person are thus an undesirable species to be extinguished...
