My new website is now up and running: heatherbrooke.org. All new posts and future blog updates will be posted on the new site along with information about my new book The Silent State.
Information from the YRTK site will be moved across with re-directed links in the coming weeks.
Please check out my new site and let me know what you think. Thanks to Dave Uprichard at One Trick Pony for the new design.
Heather please will you turn your inquisative attention to the cover up that is the Madeleine McCann case. She needs a fearless reporter to uncover what really happened to her under all the layers of corruption. Please take the time to google ‘Gaspars statement’ to see how the McCanns’ friend who holidayed with them as well as Gerry McCann are suspected of paedophile behaviour.
Pays to advertise. Saw your appeal for site makeover assistance a little while back, citing Raj Patel’s pages, with which I’m familiar, as the sort of effect you were aiming at. Awaited the outcome, therefore, with interest. Damn fine job, if I may say. Congratulations all round.
Love the website – occasionally the iPhone won’t show comments. Have spread the good news
Public Council accounts……
On settling in (Mid) Devon some twelve years ago I thought it internesitng to know how public money was being spent in the area. For three years I collected the District Council’s accounts and scanned them. I was amazed to find that the audited closing figures for the year were not the same as the figures given in the next years accounts as the ‘last year’ (for comparrison) — I queried this and received odd answers that did not seem to take on the obvious, the audited accounts were being adjusted after the year end and then apparantly after the audit. The UK national office do not audit District Council accounts or it seems the work of the Council’s auditors.
Now the District Counckls are moving slowley to using outside contractors (preferred partners) to manage their accounts – How wide I wonder is their brief…
Hello Heather Brooke….. you might like to follow up on this … All I achieved was a change in the way the accounts were presented.. abreviated, as I recall.
Hi
Just ran across your name and your success in exposing the fraud and waste by the British congress. I would like to suggest that the time is ripe for someone of your talent to pursue the same endevor with the current American congress. We have ample indication that fraud and illegal use of tax payer money is being used by most of our congressional members today. We need to hold them accountible for their illegal actvities and fraud just like you have forced the British parliment to do.
I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion.
Thank you.

Help is also needed to sort out political expenses transparency by those nice people in Canada, Australia and New Zealand!
Plus the politicians in Nigeria have apparently been able to keep Freedom of Information legislation at bay for a decade!
