In my opinion, there are grounds for a Judicial Review of the Government's action in continuing to operate NERA in the wake of the result of the NE Referendum, and I have said so to Neil Herron. However, I am afraid that I have been unable to persuade him to engage in the necessary preparatory actions prior to initiating an application.
He says he prefer to do something more "substantive", and suggested that I do so myself. I pointed out that an applicant has to be someone directly affected by the action/decision etc complained of, and that I do not live or work in the NE! I also pointed out that if the outcome of such a Review was successful, other regions (in particular the NW and Yorkshire & The Humber) could piggy-back on the decision and "see off" the Government's regionalisation policy (and probably Prescott in the process)!
I fully accept that Neil is a very busy campaigner with many succesful hits to his credit! However, it seems that it really is a case of 'divide & conquer'!
If you UKIP activists have any active members in the NE willing to participate in applying for such a Judicial review, I will gladly help as much as I am able! :?: :?:
Do feel free to contact me by PM if you prefer.
