  • USA Ban for 10 Years

    USA Ban for 10 Years With aircraft stuck in the States, having been deported in leg irons earlier this year, I now had an appointment for an American visa. I trained it from Cardiff to Paddington to an entertaining but predictable day first in the Royal Courts of Justice and then in Grosvenor Square...

  • Piper Cub Lock Haven, USA Reunion

    I had this missive this morning to cheer me up.... Maurice: I returned to San Diego from Lock Haven on June 26th. I had been looking forward to seeing you (and your hat) there, but I guess that our *** wouldn't let you in. Too bad. What is your current status with our people? Will you ever be able...

  • The Ultimate Whitehall Farce Monday 16th June

    I have to go to London on Monday to argue my corner as to how the RCVS have hurriedly pushed through legislation in the 20.7 rule of the 2004 Court Procedures to prevent me ever practicing again as a veterinary surgeon. I need to lodge it at the Court of Appeal after the hearing but need to know just...

  • Maurice Arrives in France

    Just landed at St Malo harbour, Brittany, from Portsmouth on my Honda CBR 1000F to find my old car in the car park has disappeared. The French Authorities tolerate we local English leaving ‘old bangers' at the Ferry Terminal but not for this long! My un-planned extended stay in Texas, at ‘Uncle Sam's...

  • 30lb Lighter

    Hello I was correct. M did stop eating while at the Houston Deportation Centre and has returned some 30lb lighter than he set off. He always loses weight when he does an appreciable amount of flying (so much flying to do, so little time to eat...) but 30lb in a short time is rather excessive and he looks...

  • Heading Home to the UK

    Hello Have received some encouraging news from FCO this afternoon (Thurs.). M is expected to be home soon. I have had no opportunity to speak to him but I gather that he has telephoned friends in Texas. I am told that he does not sound too well. I was probably correct in my assumption that he would stop...

  • Nil Information

    Hello (Monday pm) M's friend travelled to Austin deportation centre to visit m today - M is allowed one person to visit for one hour once a week - Monday between 9am and 1pm. He was not allowed access to M as M is in "segregation"? Our equivalent of solitary confinement, I suppose. On receiving...

  • Only One Step Up From Jail

    Good evening (Sunday pm) Still no positive news. I understand that M will be deported, probably within 10 working days if all is straightforward (can any of this be straightforward - none has been so far). I haven't spoken to M for 10 days and hope that he is OK. I suspect that that he's bearing...
