HM Prison Wolds.                                                  18th April 2004                 Page 1 of    .

The Prison Service Complaints Procedure is an obscene farce, designed & used to drive the victim to despair, often to take their own lives, when it is described as 'suicide', instead of  State Murder, which it is. 

I make this complaint not with any hope of response, but only so that the truth will be on record after my death.                                                                          .

(1).  Only sadists of genius could devise such fiendish ways to turn the provision (& snatching away) of a laptop computer into a way of inflicting mental torture on the oldest prisoner fn [1] in England (a World War 2 veteran), at the same time deliberately causing a rapid worsening of my eyesight (suffering from cataracts as I do).

(2).  The 16 court actions I am involved in (FAR too many for one old man, alone), can prove my innocence.  MUCH more importantly, they could also help to restore Democracy, Justice & the Rule of Law to Britain, which is why I drive myself to the limit, working harder than ANY human being should have to - much less one of 78! 

(3).  On the other side, those who have seized power in Police State Britain are determined I will never get out of prison alive & sane, in case I write another book, stand for Parliament again (as I did in 1997) or bring ANOTHER momentous change in British law (via the European Court of Human Rights, case 33745/96, incorporated into the 1998 Human Rights Act!)

(4).  To return to the present complaint:  It was indeed marvellous when on 1/10/03 I was belatedly allowed a laptop in my possession, thus able to use it  for an hour at time throughout the twenty four, resting my eyes from the screen in between.   

(5).  However, to allow the computer, but denying me access to a printer is torture, comparable to giving a starving man a tin of food - but no tin opener!  [2]

(6).  This is far from all:  During several periods in HMP Leeds (Armley Gaol), working night & day, I produced about 100 confidential legal documents.  Though stored on the computer, I was not allowed to print there.  Told at half hour notice that I would be going back to Wolds, I was delighted, expecting to have at least limited access to a printer there (as previously). 

(7). However, on the point of leaving Armley, the laptop was confiscated by the psychopaths who run that brutal place, unlawfully taken from one of the sealed bags which were to accompany me.   

(8).  After several weeks, the laptop did follow me back to Wolds Prison.  Though less brutal than Leeds, Machiavellian torture has continued.  fn [3] . 

(9).  It was decided I could not have the laptop itself, but I was allowed to transfer the files to floppy discs, thus allowing me access to the documents - IN THEORY! 

(10).  There are many computers in Wolds (in 'Education' & elsewhere), but I have been allowed access only to the most ancient one (afternoons only, so that I miss the post with my urgent legal documents).  Now we come to the genius of the torturers.  The ancient computer & my floppy discs are not compatible!  Yes, I am able to hand over my floppy discs for the completed documents on them to be printed, & yes, I am able to .produce new documents on the ancient computer. 

(11).  BUT - many of those on the floppies are drafts, needing revision or amendment, or to be used as the basis for new documents. Much of it would be very simple, needing only a few minutes, but I am forced to retype the 1,000s of words completely, taking ten times as long - working ten times as hard!
(12).  My limited access to the ancient computer forces me to stare at the screen for three hours at a time, with a worsening of my eyesight.  As  said, the most ruthless bunch of gangsters in the land are determined I will never get out of prison alive & sane.  The Prison Service do their part, doing their best to drive me to physical & mental breakdown, overwork & lack of sleep being a very effective way of doing so.

(13).  Such treatment would be bad enough on anyone:  On a man of 78, my already short expectation of life being rapidly reduced by treatment in prison, it is diabolical. 

(14).   At Dovegate Prison in 2001-2 , I was belatedly allowed to 'Education',  morning, afternoon & evening Monday to Friday, plus Saturday & Sunday mornings.  There I had access to computers, printers, copier, scanners, fax facilities, library, etc.  & sharing legal knowledge with other L.I.P. prisoners - all that was necessary for the 'equality of arms' to which the L.I.P. is entitled by law.  I was classed as being on Open Learning (as were others), & thus received wages of £10 per week.     

(15).  One particularly spiteful action by Wolds Director Dave McDonnel:  Ten days after arrival at Wolds I was placed on Education.   Two days later I was suddenly taken off, moved to another Wing, told only "(At your age) you have earned the right not to work" , thus losing  wages, receiving only about £3 'retirement pay'.    This, after fighting for my King & Country in World War 2, & working honestly & hard for 60 year - harder than ever now!

(16).  This is only a small part of the criminal maltreatment inflicted on me by the Prison Service, & takes no account of the collusion between the judiciary, the Court Service, the police, the Probation Service, the Parole Board & the Criminal Cases Review Commission, all agents of this ruthless, lawless & merciless Police State.  Why?  See last sentence of  footnote 1. 

(17).  Perhaps I am paranoid, suffering from persecution mania, as psychiatrists have said?  My savage sentence having been quashed completely on the 25th November 2002, I was kept in a 'Secure Mental Hospital' (as happened to ‘dissidents’ in Soviet Russia) until April 2003.  If I am indeed ‘dangerous’ [as labelled in a Soviet style Kangaroo Court], the public would have been quite safe from me if I were to remain at the secure hospital, as psychiatrist Dr. Patrick G.J.Quinn wanted.  I too would have been happy [second best happy!] to remain there the rest of my life – rather than suffer sadistic brutality & mental torture in prison. 

[18] Taken to Sheffield Crown Court, psychiatrist Dr. Patrick J.G.Quinn spoke from the witness box, telling Judge Goldsack, "Sending him back to prison could have catastrophic consequences on his mental health".  Judge Goldsack was delighted at the thought, & sent me back to prison – confident in the ability of the Prison Service to bring about the 'catastrophic consequences' predicted by Dr. Quinn!  Am I suffering from persecution mania - or is Judge Goldsack a psychopath?  (see Euripides).

(19).  See the 1999 documents which accompany my response to the Refusal of Parole by that Board.  I quote only one sentence from their refusal:  They say, "This is Mr. Scarth's first experience of custody & he has understandably found the experience traumatic".   

(19A).  So, with only one very doubtful blot on my long, law abiding & honourable record, they are determined the trauma shall continue!  What sort of creatures could be party to the continuing trauma of physical brutality, mental torture, torment & starvation of a World War 2 veteran - then wear poppies on 11th Nov?

(20).  All those named in paragraph 16 purport to act in the name of the Queen, & thus are bound by her Coronation Oath (sworn before Almighty God), "To Deliver Justice with Mercy".  They are without shame, conscience, mercy, humanity or soul.  With NO chance of Justice, I have as much chance of Mercy from these people as a mouse in a snakepit!    'Perfidious Albion'?  Never more so than now!

The Complaint Form asks "What would you like to see done about your complaint?"

(a) The most important thing is that the British people shall learn from history, wake up, & see that Lawyer Blair's Britain is a ruthless, lawless, murderous & merciless Police State, just as bad as Germany under Hitler, though the victims are fewer (as yet!  Though it was marvellous for the Germans in the 1930s, there was a heavy price to pay in the 1940s.  There will be again.    ALL the people, good & bad, should take the Yellow Brick Road.

(b) The UN-Holy Trinity which makes up Lawyer Blair's evil regime should go in search of a conscience.

(c).  The depraved, corrupt judiciary should cease the pretence that they are Gods, suppress their hatred of those who dare to suggest otherwise, throw away their arrogance, & search for a little humility. 

(d)).  Our completely corrupt propaganda machine, politicians, news media & supposedly 'independent', lawyer controlled  watchdogs', (especially  Amnesty International, 'Justice', 'Liberty' et al), shall cease their grovelling worship of those in (c);  cease their cover-up of horrific crime by the Police State, do the job they pretend to do, & go in search of truth.

(e). The millions of lackeys, thugs, puppets & sychophants on the payroll of (b), (c) & (d) shall cease to propagate the  monstrous lies of their masters (to which they add their own), learn to read, write & understand English (instead of using weasel words & Orwellian Newspeak), then go in search of a little humanity: 

(f).  The millions brainwashed by those in (b), (c), (d) & (e) into believing that we live in a Democracy, shall go in search of a new brain. 

(g).  The millions of ordinary people too scared to speak up should recognise the horror awaiting their children as those drunk with power bring revolution (&/or) World War.  They should then go in search of courage enough to speak up NOW - & hopefully reduce the likelihood of one or the other.   As said above, there WILL be price to pay.  Good & bad, innocent & guilty, actively wicked or just silent, all will suffer.

(h).  To 'encourage' those without a conscience to find one, Lawyer Blair should be indicted before an International Court for the massacre of innocent men, women & children in Iraq; for ordering the assassination of a political opponent (myself) in Britain.  That having failed, he then ordered that I be convicted in a Kangaroo Court, then suffer terror, physical & mental torture in a succession of sophisticated British Belsen prisons.  Only a very small part of it is in this document.

(i).  That three of those carrying out the orders be included in the indictment: namely S.P.Grenfell, a Leeds Circuit Judge (acting a a High Court Judge), Director of Wolds Prison 'Dave' McDonnel, & Education manager Patricia Wilcox.        

(j).  That there shall be set up a TRUTH COMMISSION, on the lines of that set up by Archbishop Tutu in South Africa. 

Perhaps the country may then become something like that for which my shipmates & myself believed we were fighting all those years ago.  All of those who are part of the Police State, Government, Parliament, news media, 'Independent watchdogs', et al, knew of the potentially lethal terror attack on me on 8th August 1999 (11 months before my supposed crime), & that I am to die here because I was being successful at exposing crooked judges.  More than a punishment for me, it is a warning of what will happen to others who seek to do the same.   

Hitler was at least honest about his intentions (as was the apartheid regime in South Africa, & Robert Mugabe now).  The Blair regime hides behind a nauseating pretence of 'Democracy', concern for 'Human Rights' & the 'Rule of Law'. 

See my document WW2, & others.  See especially my document 'Parole' about the unbelievable depravity of that Board!

Proud to be British for 70 years, with shock, shame & sorrow I have been forced to conclude that 95% of the British people are completely corrupt, completely brainwashed, deliberately blind & deaf, or craven cowards. 

You do not need a Lab. Report to tell when an egg is bad, nor do you need detail to recognise corruption.  In each case the stench is unmistakable.  However, there is a MASS of proof in this case.  It is in the multitude of court (& prison) documents which show how gross ignorance, incompetence & inefficiency (feigned or actual) are used as weapons against the victims, those who dare to challenge the evil ones by speaking or writing the truth. 

This document is drafted under enormous difficulties & pressure.  Apologies for repetition or other faults, but I don't have time to sleep, barely time to breath, much less edit!     

TO BE CONTINUED – IF I RETAIN SUFFICIENT STRENGTH [& sufficient sanity – see Euripides again].
