The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 4, 2016

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on July 6, 2015

The Twilight World, that chamber of horrors complete with trick mirrors distorting reality, and ghostly shrieks from memories past, that some unfortunate individuals are forced to dwell in towards the end of their days.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on April 20, 2015

Lord Greville Janner’s loyal family and supporters are fighting a futile battle to preserve his reputation in the face of the disingenuous statements from both the CPSÂ and the Leicestershire Police.

Immigrants add to the full richness of British life.

What Drives a False Allegator?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 13, 2014

Hyperbole and the Media.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on February 19, 2014

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on July 9, 2013

Several weeks ago, the Daily Mail ran a story concerning two women who had ‘fleeced’ their aunt of £200,000. The Mail gleefully listed the Rolex watches and named the designer handbags the women had bought,

The Secret Court and the Media.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on April 29, 2013

The ‘news’ has to be massaged and imbued with emotive content to interest the Media.

That which most of us would consider ‘news’ – citizens jailed without trial or representation; pension funds raided; savings devalued; citizens starved to death; citizens arrested

Love and Marriage, more or less than a legal contract?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on January 29, 2013

Nietzsche, the German philosopher, said that marriage was ‘the will that moves two to create the one which is more than those who created it’.

Is God Unemployed Now?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 14, 2012

I ask because of a headline from the Independent this morning that I find stunning.

Free Will and Social Services.

Rotten Borough? – the Vicious Borough of Hillingdon.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 20, 2012

Social Services have long memories, and a messianic distaste for having their noses tweaked by those with more power then they.

Those with equally long memories will remember the case of Stephen Neary that we so

Just a Feint Glimmer of Light.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 8, 2012

The focus of mental health activists for many years has been ‘deprivation of liberty’ – if you look at the case load of the majority of lawyers who claim to specialise in mental health legal abuses, you

Too Stupid for Sex – Episode 2.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on February 6, 2012

Mention the name Enoch Powell, and within minutes someone will reference his ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech. Arguably, and sadly, that speech did nothing to change the marching speed of the progressives.

Court of Appeal Abolishes Magna Carta?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Sam Smith on January 2, 2012

As 2011 draws to a close I felt it time for me to put pen to paper and write about the Cheshire West case. This is another unfortunate ‘Deprivation of Liberty Case’ in which the Court of

Public Sector Perks.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on November 30, 2011

The Devil is always in the detail.

Hyperventilating Over Paedophilia

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 24, 2011

Paedophilia is an emotive subject; banned in ‘polite’ media circles, it has become virtually the exclusive province of the Blogosphere.

Autism revisited

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 19, 2011

One of the defining features of Autism is the obsessive nature of repeat actions. Autistic children are quite capable of maintaining a week long smashing, grabbing, and screaming rage if they are prevented from carrying out some

by Anna Raccoon on August 15, 2011

Dear Legal Profession,

Judgment Day

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on July 27, 2011
