Book Description
This report relates to a complaint by Councillor Peter Golds that Jim Fitzpatrick, Member for Poplar and Canning Town, appeared to have used House of Commons stationery and pre-paid envelopes when sending unsolicited correspondence to constituents in July 2009. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards accepted that it was within the rules for Mr Fitzpatrick to fund this correspondence from Parliamentary allowances. However he concluded that the rules were broken by using the wrong allowance. Whilst initially accepting the breach and agreeing to apologise and transfer expenditure to the relevent entitlement, Mr Fitzpatrick later wrote and altered his position. The Committee recommended in conclusion of their hearing that Mr Fitzpatrick apologise to the House not only for the breach but also for his conduct. They further recommended that Mr Fitzpatrick pay the entire £557 cost of provided stationery.

Betrayal
Author: Robert Fitzpatrick
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429963662
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
In Betrayal, renowned FBI agent Robert Fitzpatrick partners with USA Today bestselling author Jon Land to present the true story of the lawman’s pursuit of James “Whitey” Bulger, Jr., the notorious crimelord of Boston, Massachusetts’s Winter Hill Gang. The Jack Nicholson film The Departed didn’t tell half of their story. A poor kid from the slums, Robert Fitzpatrick grew up to become a stellar FBI agent and challenge the country’s deadliest gangsters. Relentless in his desire to catch, prosecute, and convict Whitey Bulger, Fitzpatrick fought the nation’s most determined cop-gangster battle since Melvin Purvis hunted, confronted, and killed John Dillinger. In his crusade to bring Bulger to justice, Fitzpatrick faced not only Whitey but also corrupt FBI agents, along with political cronies and enablers from Boston to Washington who, in one way or another, blocked his efforts at every step. Even when Fitzpatrick discovered the very organization to which he had sworn allegiance was his biggest obstacle, the agent continued to pursue Whitey and his gang . . . knowing that they were prepared to murder anyone who got in their way.

Three Brass Balls
The Good Drone
Author: Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262358468
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
How small-scale drones, satellites, kites, and balloons are used by social movements for the greater good. Drones are famous for doing bad things: weaponized, they implement remote-control war; used for surveillance, they threaten civil liberties and violate privacy. In The Good Drone, Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick examines a different range of uses: the deployment of drones for the greater good. Choi-Fitzpatrick analyzes the way small-scale drones--as well as satellites, kites, and balloons--are used for a great many things, including documenting human rights abuses, estimating demonstration crowd size, supporting anti-poaching advocacy, and advancing climate change research. In fact, he finds, small drones are used disproportionately for good; nonviolent prosocial uses predominate.
