The more cans of worms I open, the more I do wonder where our efforts will lead to. But, as The Psalm of Life by Henry Longfellow reveals most beautifully, it’s not about achieving a goal: it’s about our footprints in the sands of Time… and the fibers of the web!

Maurice apparently is enduring the treatment that other whistleblowers have suffered:

1. prison to isolate you
2. sectioning to a mental hospital to break you psychologically and mentally
3. to avoid all trials in court, especially before a jury.

So far, there are 420 signatures on the petition to support Maurice. That makes 35 juries of 12!

When will the Judiciary listen to the Court of Public Opinion???

Here are his requests that HMP Cardiff and HMCS (Wales) have been ignoring:

1. 23rd November: A typical evening in HMP Cardiff for a Litigant in Person
2. I return from friends’ visit, in wheelchair, but nurse refuses me my crutch to post and get to telephone. Earlier she swore at me [witness statement] refusing me my crutch for the same reason. Now refused one in my cell to go to loo and emergency button.

1. Prison Officer D Smith, unknown to me, refused to give his name or number or find a nurse, when attempting to give me unknown tablets through the hole in the cell door. He refused to call a member or staff to give me my medication prescribed by University of Wales Hospital when I was taken there for x-rays following 17 seeming to be needed, to drag me from the hospital wing to the punishment block.
2. Today Officer 150 refused to countersign my 3rd time attempting by form in 2 months to transfer £50 for Judicial Review application re £50 fine convicted fo ‘threat to shoot the Lord Mayor of Cardiff’, found guilty in my absence due to being locked up in cell (e.g. like for of 5/11/11/to HMP AD Judication when ignoring 18/9/11 psychiatric report) ordered by South Wales Police
3. 25th: prison doctor looks through cell door “he is fit”, just before internal court adjudication.

What would you like to see done about your complaint?

Pay it by my cheque book / bank cards or postal order, as this is the 3rd time prison has refused to post £50 having been told the major reason why Judicial Review (JR) is important.

Court examination of CPS / Police / HM Prison will further confirm why this imprisonment is unlawful.
