E-Mail to Jim Devine
9-6-09
Dear Mr Devine,
It looks like your career as a Member of Parliament, is about to
come to an end. Three weeks ago when I spoke to you at your Surgery,
within the Livingston Centre, I asked you then, when you would be
presenting the Public Petition, I'd drawn up and had delivered to
you in November 2008 to be presented to the House of Commons. In
reply you fed me a load of guff about it being down to the Speaker
of the House of Commons allotting you time to present the Petition
to the House of Commons.
You then made the point, that you had raised the issue of the
Yangtze Incident, with the Minister of State For The Armed Forces,
Mr Bob Ainsworth. In stating such I told you that I was aware of the
fact having read your question and his answer to the same in Hansard.
I also made the point of pointing out to you, that as you were in
receipt of correspondence from Mr Bob Ainsworth, Minister of State
For Armed Forces, that proved without a shadow of a doubt that he
was a liar and had deliberately lied to you, and by right as a
Member of Parliament, you should be exposing him as such, instead of
talking to him. Your answer to that Mr Devine, was; "I cant do that,
he is a colleague within the labour party.
Well tell me this Mr Devine, how do you feel now knowing that Prime
Minister, Gordon Brown, has elevated Mr Bob Ainsworth, to the
position Secretary of State For The Ministry of Defence.
Finally, place my Public Petition, of November 2008 in the Sack at
The Speakers Chair, and let me know that you have done so.
Yours Sincerely,
William Leitch. |
See below for the Petition |

To The House Of Commons
The Petition of;
(Constituent) William Leitch. (Post
Code) EH54 8NE.
Declares that;
On the date 30th
July 1949 the Commander-in-Chief, Far East Station, Admiral Sir E. J. Patrick
Brind, K.C.B., C.B.E.; did whiles being in receipt of signals appertaining HMS
AMETHYST’s intended escape from where it was being held captive on the YANGTZE
KIANG, order His Majesty’s warship HMS CONCORD, to enter Chinese territorial
waters, namely the Yangtze Kiang, on the East Coast of China, and there after to
proceed to the location on the Yangtze Kiang, known as the Woosung Forts,
and upon reaching that destination, to train its armament on the Woosung Forts,
in readiness to respond in the event of HMS AMETHYST, being fired upon while
passing that location.
As a result of
the orders given by the Commander-in-Chief, Far East Station, Admiral Sir E. J.
Patrick Brind, K.C.B., C.B.E.; from onboard HMS BELFAST, 30th July
1949
he did at that
time subject HMS CONCORD‘s, ships company to risk and rigour over and above what
might be reasonably expected.
Further; when the ‘Yangtze 1949’
clasp to the Naval General Service Medal was instituted in November, 1949 no
official Naval Signals or documentation capable of establishing HMS CONCORD’s
part played in the Yangtze Incident, 30th and 31st July,
1949 were placed before (the HD Committee) of that time responsible for the
Granting of Honours, Decorations and Medals. As such His Majesty’s, ship HMS
CONCORD, and its ships company were wrongfully excluded from being recognised as
a unit that was involved in the 1949 Yangtze Incident.
The Petitioner;
therefore requests of the House of
Commons, that the House finds remedy and reparation to the wrongful acts or
omissions that caused and brought about the exclusion of HMS CONCORD’s part in
the Yangtze Incident, 30th and 31st July, 1949.
And the Petitioner remains, etc.
