the people, we ought to be subject to the judgement of the people who elect us and to the law. By law, I mean that law which allows for the right to be judged by a jury of free citizens.


To accept the inquisition and . ::


authority of the new unelected Stan­ dards Board for England would be to accept, to a degree, the disenfranchise­ ment of the very people who we are in office to represent. By accepting the requirements of this order we are accepting the principle that the people may not always have the last say in who is fit to represent them The order contains a model code of


and co-opted member of the authority has. two months to say in writing that they will abide by the code. Penalties for breaches of the code will apparently range from public censure, to suspen­ sion from committees or from the council, to disqualification from the office of councillor for up to five years. The Standards Board for England is


to be responsible for implementing cer­ tain requirements of the order. I t has a duty to investigate allegations of mis­ conduct under the code of conduct by members and to take action when appropriate. It is responsible for setting the work programme, issuing guidance and deciding upon the validity of com­ plaints before authorising an investiga­ tion by an Ethical Standards Officer.


conduct as regards the conduct which is expected of members and co-opted members of parish councils. Under sec­ tion 51 of the Local Government Act 2000, each authority must adopt a code of conduct applying to its mem­ bers which must incorporate any mandatory provisions of the model coda Under section 51(5) of that Act, where an authority does' not adopt such a code within six months of the order coming into force, the mandatory provisions of the model code will apply to the members of the authority until it does. Once an authority has adopted its own code, every councillor or member


cellor will appoint a panel of people. who will form tribunals to adjudicate on individual cases. This “panel of peo­ ple”, also comprising unelected appointees, directly accountable nei­ ther to Parliament nor people, are to


. sit in judgement over the elected repre- sentatives'of the people, who, by the terms of this order, will have no recourse to be heard by a free jury. -1 believe this order to be part of a wider process, and, if it is to be halted


■ ‘ The Standards Board for England is run by a board of nine members' appointed by the Secretary of State in early 2001 and is, therefore, run by a board of nine unelected appointees, who are therefore directly accountable, neither to Parliament nor people.' ~. In particular the board: 1, Can issue


guidance on matters relating to "the conduct.of members and co-opted


•members of authorities; 2, Can issue guidance on the qualifications or expe­ rience that monitoring officers in such authorities should have; and 3, Must consider written allegations th a t a member of an authority has failed to comply with the authority’s own code of conduct..


.before it becomes irreversible, it is nec­ essary to draw attention to these facts before they become apparent in the individual lives of the mass of citizens. For this reason, a warning now may appear to some to be alarmist or pre­ mature. This order represents a vast accre­


tion of power to an unelected body and a return to the principles of the Court of Star Chamber. An erosion of the rule of law and of


the liberty and independence of the individual will inevitably accompany it. - • V. . A method has been discovered by


!duty upon the citizen not to submit to the will of arbitrary authority. Every such encroachment upon our private affairs not resisted makes the next one easier, and soon people will fall into a state where we .no longer distinguish between lawful authority and lawless authority. This is no small quibble; i t repre­


sents a significant hole in our inherited rights, on the one side freedom, and on the other, tyranny. - By the terms of this order, Parlia­ ment and people are to he short-cir­ cuited. Where Government attempts


to force citizens to behave as it wishes, and where they have no individual recourse to either Parliament or peo­ ple, then the rule of law will have ceased and tyranny begun.

Lancashire, who enlisted into Lord Kitchener’s Army and became known as "The Accrington Pals", who came from a 250 square mile area of Lancashire. They were recruited


from as far apart as Earby, in the West Riding of York­ shire,’to Croston in West Lancashire and from the Ribble Valley to the Rnssendale Valley and from towns such as Burnley, Nel­ son, Colne, Blackburn, Chorley, Haslingden, Dar- wen, Horwich, Great Har­ wood and many villages


and hamlets in between." Their terrible deaths on July 1st, 1916, threw most of Lancashire into mourn­ ing," said Mr Caffrey. "The effects of that tragedy still echo around the county." The story uses various


techniques, including narra­ tive, songs/poems, music, letters from the front, news items and vivid descriptions of the battle to give a grip­ ping inright into what hap­ pened on the day. Mr Bond, who was at


Clitheroe in 1985 and 1986, added: "The reason we have


produced the CD is to raise


■ money to help save the Pals’ Memorial Chapel situated in St John's Church, Accrington. Than are terri­ ble problems with damp and rot, and if the repairs aren't done, this lovely memorial to those brave young men will cease to exist.”
