WATCH officials from HM Courts & Tribunals Service and the Ministry of Justice @MoJGovUK block the public from attending Matt O’Connor’s trial at Aldershot Magistrates Court yesterday, 20/2/15.Fathers4Justice founder Matt O’Connor then refused to take part in his trial for a Section 5 Public Order offence after the magistrates explained the closed court was for ‘health, safety and security’ grounds.

At a hearing about the ruling of the magistrates to exclude the public, the court room was occupied by several security personnel who were not from the area. O’Connor explained he was concerned about a ‘conspiracy of silence’ in Hampshire involving the Police, Press & Courts to cover up the involvement of Caroline Nokes MP in a campaign of intimidation that drove his family from the county.

At one point, 2 police officers entered the court to warn Matt O’Connor about his filming of the ejection of Hampshire County Councillor Tony Hooke, who has been earlier removed from the building after attempting to gain entry in his capacity as a witness in the case.

The court granted Matt and his legal adviser Dr Michael Pelling an adjournment to seek Judicial Review of the magistrates decision.

Matt & Nadine O’Connor from Fathers4Justice are interviewed by George Galloway MP on his Sputnik show on Russia Today to mark the 12th anniversary of the campaign. Introduction: 200 children lose contact with their fathers in secret courts in the UK every day; 1 in 3 children live without their father; family breakdown is costing the country around £44 billion a year. This week Matt and Nadine O’Connor, founders of Fathers for Justice 12 years ago this month, come into the studio to discuss these startling statistics and take a look at a justice system which appears to be failing families.

 Re the public being banned from Matt O’Connor’s ‘trial’:  I make three points.

 See the attached document, a letter dated 1/9/1998 from  Geoffrey Hoon MP, then Lord Chancellor Irvine’s spokesman in The House of Commons, confirming that the ECtHR ruling in Scarth v UK (case 33745/96) was to be incorporated into the 1998 Human Rights Act.  The ruling was that “ALL hearings shall be open to the public, other than where strictly necessary in exceptional circumstances”.  ‘ALL hearings’ includes hearings ‘In Chambers’, & the ‘exceptional circumstances’ must (of course) be stated.

 Another point of equal importance: Someone (Mr O’Connor?) asked, “Have you asked the judge?”   This was a MAGISTRATES’ Court (says so in big letters outside!), & should of course be before three lay magistrates.  IF, as I suspect, a District Judge WAS presiding, s/he was a usurper, being a lawyer, paid by The State.   

 Sadly, as we know all too well, those on the payroll of The British State have total contempt for both British & International law.  

 As further proof of this, please forgive me for mentioning my own grotesque ‘trial’ in Sheffield Crown Court in April 2001.  

It was effectively a secret trial:  (See the second attachment, Judge David Ronald Bentley’s Order banning Press reporting)[below].  

Never was there a more blatant example of contempt for the law (British & International) – by the very people who purport to uphold it!   The tragedy is not so much that these things happen, but that the British people ALLOW them to happen!  (much like the German people in the 1930s). 

For the very man who brought the above Ruling into being (me) to be subjected to a secret trial beggars belief!  That is just one example of the gross misconduct of Judge Bentley (there were many more!)

PS: My attempts to expose the corruption which is rampant in the British courts brought many years of persecution.  To escape more, at the age of 86 Ii was forced to flee the land of my birth for safety in the Republic of Ireland.    

PPS:  If Lay Magistrates WERE presiding (rather than a District Judge) perhaps that is why it has gone for Judicial Review?  In which case, all credit to them.  

Mostly they are puppets, controlled by a lawyer, & just do what they are told.   NS

 Google the shocking Nigerian Musa family case, ex-NATO security consultant Nigel Cooper’s case, the Baylis Family case, Kellie Cottam’s shocking case, each an outrageous case in its own way, with so many more cases which go unheard of.
