EU rules mean 400 Britons go without liver

Thanks to EU rules European Union citizens can come to this country and get healthcare. While 400 britons could have a new liver now they don’t. Instead Greek and Cypriot patients have them.

If you are on the waiting for a liver and you are probably going to wait years you know who to blame. If you want to get treated as soon as possible you should dump Labour and the EU.

2823 laws in one year

Gordon Brown has entered the record books by introducing 2,823 new laws during his first year in office.

Gordon Brown has introduced 2,823 laws during his first year in office, the highest rate for new legislation by anyone at No 10. He set his record despite repeated promises to cut red tape.

If Parliament never had any days off and worked every single day this would mean that they pass about 8 new laws per day. It is obvious that even if this was the case no MP could read every single new law yet they are all passed. Shouldn’t the government read these laws before they are passed so that he can actually see if they are needed?

What we need in this country is the government actually scrutinising these laws and not just passing them without reading them. We need the speed of legislation to slow so this can be achieved.

Government rewarding incompetence

I think we can all agree that the government and their employees are doing a terrible job but civil servants are being paid £128 million in bonuses.

The National Audit Office has refused to approve the accounts of the treasury but civil servants in the Treasury still managed to receive £21 million in bonuses. Why are they getting this when in the private sector any business that couldn’t have its accounts signed off by auditors would be a failure?

It hasn’t been a particularly good year for the military but civil servants still managed to get £41 million in bonuses. All this is doing is paying for failure.

Another stupid EU directive

The European Union seems to be poking their noses in a lot of places where they are not wanted lately. According to Directive 2001/84/EC from the EU every time a piece of art is sold the artist must get a royalty. Why is this law? You don’t see this happening in other industries. Why aren’t builders given a royalty every time a house is sold? Why aren’t car manufacturers given a royalty every time someone buys their car from an individual? I could go on forever naming other industries but I won’t. I think you understand that this is stupid.

You would think with these stupid ideas our government would want to hand over less power. Not so I am afraid. Our foreign secretary David Milliband wants our army to be part of an EU army. We already know that he is a traitor but this goes far beyond treason. He doesn’t want our country to control our own military. He wants it to be controlled by a foreign government. Can we call ourselves independent when that happens?

Bad week for EU

It’s been a bad week for the European Union. Their constitution is being destroyed. The Polish president has said that he will not sign the EU treaty which will completely stop any ratification from going forward.

The Europhiles are of course livid and hysterical. French MEP Jamie Smyth doesn’t like what has happened and hates referendums calling them 'a tool for dictators' because only the Irish people voted against it but that’s only because no other country was given a chance. When the French and Dutch voted they said no too but Mr Smyth conveniently forgets that. I am sure if everyone was allowed to vote everyone would vote no.

Could this lead to NHS privatisation?

New rights for patients to shop around Europe for the best healthcare are part of a new "Social Agenda" launched in Brussels.

If approved by EU governments, the controversial move would guarantee that costs are covered by the patient's own national health scheme back home.

The plan follows years of legal cases in which European court judges have ruled that freedom to cross EU borders for the best or quickest treatment should be a right for all.

But the measure would have safeguards - costs would be reimbursed in line with similar costs which would be incurred if the treatment was carried out at home, and repayment would only apply to those having healthcare insurance in their own country.

This sounds good but it is not. I think Britain is the only country in Europe with free healthcare and this could be jeopardised by this ‘new right’. The NHS has a limited amount of money. They are not a bottomless money pot. If people can go abroad it will mean that the NHS has to spend even more money whereas now they have a waiting list where they perform operations and treatment when they can afford to.

If this was to happen often the government would say the NHS has gone bankrupt or is close to it and they will tell us that they have no other option but to privatise it. In reality they know this but they want to try and make money off us as fast as they can.

Pray to Allah or detention!

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

Who do these people think they are? They have no right forcing children to pray to Allah. They are not Muslims. The teacher who did this should be sacked on the spot. Fortunately there is a lot of BNP support in Stoke and this will just get even more support to come forward for the BNP.

Making the poor even worse off

Faced with rising heating and food bills the government is planning to make elderly people even poorer. The government no longer want to be embarrassed by the elderly who can’t afford to pay council tax so they are going to take it directly from your bank account.

Now, the elderly will have to choose from eating, keeping warm and paying their council tax. It’s not really a choice because they’ll take your money to pay for the council tax so you won’t have any money for heating or eating. If you are poor (which you probably are if you can’t pay) and you don’t have the money in the bank account will that mean that you have to go into your overdraft? Does that mean that they will have to shell out more money in fines for going over their overdraft limit making them even poorer?

During the winter when you have no money to heat your home or feed yourself because your council took your money you will know who to blame. Prison would be more humane. At least there you get food and a place to keep warm.

Was he bribed?

Was Keith Vaz bribed into supporting the 42 day detention bill? The evidence points to a bribe but I don’t think anything can be done about it. You can’t really prove this type of stuff.

The evidence shows that Geoff Hoon sent him a letter after the vote telling him that he would be appropriately rewarded for his help during the vote. A few days later he gets a nice new office. While it does look suspicious would he really change his mind just to get a new office? Surely he must be getting something else if he was bribed? Look out for the honours list.

This solves nothing

The Conservative party have launched their policy for English votes on English laws. Only it isn’t that. It’s a cop out. Scottish MPs will still get to vote on all legislation. The only difference being is that they can’t vote on it at committee stage. This policy solves nothing.

What we need is real English devolution. This won’t lead to the end of the union and if it does then the union must be in a fragile state through successive government misrule and should maybe end if it’s that fragile.

MPs want more from us

MPs are trying to take the public for a ride again. This time they want more money so they can spend it on plush new offices after some MPs said they couldn’t afford their own office. Instead of giving them more money why not just have the local council in their constituency give them an office at a reduced rent? Local councils have a lot of property which they own. I am sure they could find something.

Sir Christopher Kelly, the chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life has criticised Michael Martin’s review of MPs expenses, rightly so. You can’t really review something when you’re feeding from the same trough. It should be done independently.

There are some things that people are making a big deal over but there isn’t anything wrong with it. Some MPs are employing family members. I don’t see it as a big deal as long as the family members are actually doing the job they were employed to do. If the public are concerned the most that should be done is make it public and if their constituents don’t like it they can kick them out at the next election.

Bad week for Labour

It has been a terrible week for Labour and it probably won’t get any better for them. Peter Hain has been interviewed by police over political donations totalling £103,000. He could go to prison but I somehow think that Labour will get out of it.

Labour isn’t having much luck in elections either. They have come behind the BNP in atleast 4 elections and it will probably happen in more. Gordon Brown has had to order a rushed campaign in Scotland to fill the vacant seat after David Marshall stepped down apparently the result of ill health which could have been caused by being found out to be a sleazy bastard but who knows?

Police using bikes to fight cost of petrol

I said yesterday that some police forces had to cut front line jobs because of the rising cost of fuel. I said that I would make them ride a bike. Unfortunately in one police force it didn’t seem likely because the police would have to pass a cycling proficiency test. You can read that here.

Fortunately the Devon and Cornwall police are a bit more intelligent and have decided that its time to order 120 bikes to cut their fuel bill which is due to rise by £300,000.

I am glad that a police force has decided to take common sense route.

The government and their priorities

It seems that stopping people smoking is more important in the government’s list of priorities than reducing assaults.

Despite a Government poll showing community safety was voters' overwhelming priority, anti-crime initiatives will not be the main focus of authorities.

While reducing "serious acquisitive crime" such as thefts from cars was sixth, cutting the rate of "assault with injury" was 13th and domestic violence 20th.

Considered a higher priority than both by most councils were stopping smoking. Isn’t it wonderful to see the government getting their priorities in order?

29,000 criminals released early

It looks like the government have underestimated the amount of criminals that will benefit from early release. They estimated that 25,500 criminals would be freed in 12 months but that total was breached in April's figures, just 10 months into operation. They have actually freed more than 29,000 including 2 terrorists and someone who went on to rape.

The policy is not going to be reviewed until September 2009 and by that time 70,000 prisoners could be released to commit more crime. If you are ever a victim of a crime committed by someone that should have been in prison you know who to blame.

The real reason behind eco towns

Eco towns will be built regardless of whether local communities want them. They aren’t being built because they are environmentally friendly or offer sustainable living. Most of the new towns will leave residents’ car dependent and most are not even within walking distance of a train station. Eco towns have never been about sustainable living. They are about something completely different.

Labour knows that soon they will be out of the job unless they do something. Immigrants need homes and these homes are being built to accommodate them. These new immigrants are going to owe their places in this country to Labour and they will know that so will vote accordingly which is why Labour are going to force the proposals through before the Conservatives can even attempt to stop them. The government can’t have anyone wrecking their plans. They want this to happen so badly that they are going to sell Ministry of Defence land for the ecotowns to be built on. To ever have a chance of getting in power again they have to import more voters. It’s the only way and they know this.

Billions wasted in disability benefits

Disability benefits are costing taxpayers an extra £3.1billion a year under Labour - and a major factor is a massive rise in the number of claimants who are drug addicts and alcoholics, according to newly released documents.

Over the past ten years, the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) budget has soared from £5.7billion to £8.8billion a year - enough to build 20 new 'super hospitals'.

And papers released under the Freedom of Information Act disclose that the number of drug addicts and alcoholics claiming the £60-a-week payment has risen five-fold, from 3,000 in 1997 to almost 17,000 last year.

Why are we giving these people more money which will just go towards feeding their addiction? Being an addict is NOT a disability. It is of your own doing. Anyone claiming to be an addict should be given help whether they want that help or not.

Giving these people any money is almost as bad as giving Abu Qatada £8,000 in incapacity benefit every year. This man and his family should get nothing. His household income will now be over £50,000 and most of this is proably because he won’t stop breeding.

Labour no longer trusted

Labour is no longer the party trusted to bring in the health reforms that are needed to safeguard the NHS for future generations, a poll for The Daily Telegraph shows.

Barely one in five people believe the Labour party will deliver a better health service over the next ten years, the You Gov poll shows.

Why would anyone trust Labour anymore when their much publicised deep clean has been exposed as a sham and political stunt? A lot of hospitals were found not to be using chemicals that were needed to be effective in the fight against superbugs. Almost a fifth of hospitals admitted using steam clean even though it has been proven to be ineffective.

The Labour party are useless and should not be trusted with something as important as the NHS. They have shown themselves to be incompetent in all areas of life.

Whites discriminated against in all areas of life

Congratulations to all white males. You are now discriminated in all aspects of life. That’s equality you see.

When you went to school you will have found that you were discriminated against when your black classmates had more funding given to their education, infact they have access to £178 million worth of grants for their education while you get nothing. When you leave school you will be happy to find that the government are now planning to make it legal so that employers can discriminate against you and hire a black man even though you might be more qualified for the job.

Are you happy to find out what Labour is doing to you? That’s not all either. You will be happy to know that if you ever become hard up and have to rely on a charity (because you have received a terrible education and can’t get a job because you aren’t black enough) the government has been giving £18 million to ethnic minority charities while nothing is given to white charities

Would you like to try and stick up for white people by standing for the local council? Well the government are trying to get more ethnic minority councillors. They don’t really want you to stand but there is nothing stopping you yet.

Maybe you should become a fire fighter instead? Well that’s a bad idea too. You see the government has a quota for none whites. If the fire service doesn’t meet it they will have to give up £2 million in funding. Are you worth 2 million? I thought not.

Why not join the police force instead and kick the arses of criminals? Sorry this isn’t allowed either unless you don’t mind having inferior candidates promoted ahead of you. If that’s the case you might do well.

Don’t like all of this? Do you feel like committing suicide to get away from it all? You should phone the Samaritans first, well that’s if they still exist in your area. You see in some parts of the country depressed whites are phoning in such numbers that they are being denied access to money because they don’t help enough black people.

Suicide probably isn’t the answer to reverse the discrimination that whites receive. For the answer you should click here.

Labour party in trouble

It’s good to be a Labour party hater these days. The party is £24 million in debt and is heading for financial collapse which could destroy their ability to fight the next election especially if they lack volunteers to deliver leaflets.

This time their rich donors will not be bailing them out unless they ditch Brown in favour of someone else. The thing is every single Labour MP is a traitor and would never make a competent leader.

Labour is now desperate for any donations. They are doing everything they can to get the donations into the party including auctioning things like tennis with Blair.

If Labour don’t get the donations they need it is unlikely that Brown will stand down for the good of the party so that they can get the donations they need. He will probably just lick the feet of the unions and be on their payroll and do everything they want including giving them new rights to strike which Thatcher got rid of.

The best thing for the country will be that Brown steps down or the unions will get everything but could that make Labour extinct faster if they are seen to be under the thumb of the unions and not doing what is in the interests of the country?

Reforming MPs pay

MPs could get a daily handout of around £150 for turning up at the Commons in return for giving up their controversial second homes allowance.

Senior MPs drawing up reforms of Parliamentary expenses are said to favour the system that would have an upper ceiling of about £24,000 a year.

Isn’t this something that the European Parliament has? I am sure I read somewhere that all they had to do to get the money was to turn up and sign the register. They weren’t needed to actually vote on anything. Infact after signing they could just go home and still get the money.

MPs expenses should be reformed but not this way. Their salaries should increase, yes you read that correctly. I don’t think they do a good job. That’s not the reason why I think they should get a higher salary. Our MPs are of low quality. We should be trying to get high quality people to become MPs like executives who earn hundreds of thousands of pounds per year. We should pay enough to get rid of the idiots and attract the people who will benefit Britain. Give them £150,000 per year and you will see more quality people wanting to become MPs.

Reform their expenses too. Don’t give them money to buy a house. Buy a plot of land in London and build enough flats to accommodate them all. They will all have to stay there. In the long term this will be a cheaper option than giving MP after MP enough to buy a house and maintain that house. At first it will be expensive but once the land is bought and the flats are built there will be very little expenses for homes. All that will be required is a little maintenance.

For the rest of the expenses there wouldn’t need to be a limit if every single expense was made public. If people knew what they were spending taxpayers’ money on they wouldn’t spend it on stupid things. Look at Scotland for an example of what this has done.

Allow them to employ family members but make that public too. If their constituents feel they are being taken for a ride they can hold them to account.

Military need more aircraft

The armed forces could run out of transport aircraft in two years, a report warns today.

Constant use in Afghanistan and Iraq is forcing the RAF to retire its ageing Hercules aircraft early, while the project to provide replacements has suffered years of delays.

There is a 'significant risk' that there will be too few planes to meet military needs after 2010, the National Audit Office report said.

What is this government doing? We hopefully won’t be fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan in 2 years but these aircraft are still badly needed in case some unforeseen conflict erupts which is increasingly likely to happen.

Diplomats commit crimes and get immunity

It seems that foreign governments are taking the mick out of this country. They commit crimes and for the most part are getting away with it.

Diplomats to this country have claimed immunity for everything including bribery and sexual assault and other crimes which would result in 12 months in prison while Venezuela is allowing drug barons to export their stuff into this country.

Anti-drugs officials estimate that more than 50 per cent of all the cocaine consumed in Britain has been trafficked through Venezuela - under the "revolutionary" regime of Mr Chavez. The figure could be as high as two thirds.

Senior commanders in Venezuela's security forces are thought to be profiting from the trade and actively helping the smugglers, notably by allowing them to use military airfields.

If I as living in Venezuela I would be wondering why Chavez’s incompetence has resulted in drug related arrests plummeting from over 11,000 to just over 1000 arrests. I didn’t think this was possible but they seem to be worse than Labour, possibly even worse than the SNP. That is an achievement…

White children now victims of multiculturalism

White children are much more likely to be bullied than any other ethnic group - reversing racial stereotypes surrounding playground abuse, Government research indicates.

Two thirds of children from white families say they had been bullied in the last three years but less than half of children of Indian origin make the same assertion.

Anti-bullying campaigners say white children are now in the minority in some areas raising their chances of being bullied.

Louise Burfitt-Dons, founder of the charity Act Against Bullying, which cut ties with Jade Goody after allegations of racist bullying against Indian actress Shilpa Shetty on Big Brother, said: “Normally all you hear about is bullying with racial groups being discriminated against.

“Whites are becoming more aggressive than they used to be as a result of trying to intergrate into a new society norm that is so aggressive. They have changed the way they behave in order to survive.”

I am not sure I have read this properly. I think the jist of it is that white children are finding it hard to cope in a diverse society. When white children are in the minority does that mean they are more likely to be bullied? Surely that is racially motivated and shows that whites are more likely to be victims in these sorts of things.

White children don’t seem to b coping well in a multicultural society, a society which their white parents and grandparents never even asked for but the self hating whites decided it was a good thing that white children lose their heritage and identity while at the same time being treated like second class citizens.

Millions of homes need to be built

Up to 3.48 million new homes may have to be built in England by 2020 if property is to become more affordable, the Government has been told.

The National Housing and Planning Advice Unit (NHPAU) is advising the Government that at least 2.96 million new homes should be built and as many as 3.48 may need to be added to the current housing stock.

The group also called on planners and decision makers not to focus on the current short-term downturn in the property market, which is seeing house price falls, but to continue to think about long-term housing needs.

This can’t go on forever. We can’t keep concreting over our countryside because of a rising population. The only reason that we need to build more homes is because of rising levels of immigration. If we closed our borders fewer homes would be needed stopping our environment from getting any worse that it already is.

We could concentrate on feeding our own population and less oil would be needed because there would be less cars and less need for building anymore houses (some vehicle needs to make multiple deliveries of supplies), roads, schools and hospitals.

The only logical thing to do so that we can have a healthy environment is to stop immigration all together.

Judges decide against referendum

Tycoon Stuart Wheeler says he has "high hopes" of winning an appeal against a High Court decision to oppose his bid for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Two judges rejected the millionaire's claim that there was a "legitimate expectation" of a public vote.

I didn’t think he would win his case. There is no law saying that the government is banned from lying to the public so I hate to say it but the judges had no reason to vote against them even though I would have loved to have seen it.

Other cultures

Isn’t multiculturalism just great? Well it is if you like aborting baby girls, female mutilation and being allowed to rape women if they wear the wrong clothes.

Research suggests that more than 20,000 British girls are at risk of being mutilated all to follow some backward medieval barbaric custom that should have no place in a civilised society.

A study has found that 66,000 women living in Britain have already been mutilated. I bet those who love multiculturalism don’t care because this is what you get when you have multiculturalism. You can’t really complain.

Indians don’t seem to like girls too much either. They seem to like aborting the female foetuses much more than the male ones and if they can’t afford the scan to see if it is a boy they let the baby girl die when it’s born. Don’t you just love that? Thankfully there aren’t too many Indians in this country or we would have the same thing happening in the Indian community.

In Malaysia women have been told that if they want to avoid being raped they should not to wear bright lipstick and noisy high-heel shoes and this is supposed to be a moderate Islamic country. Someone should tell their men that they should control themselves and stop acting like worthless savages at the sight of a woman wearing lipstick and high heals.

The wonders of multiculturalism never cease to amaze.

The NHS: Letting people die

Our health service is a disgrace. Those who need NHS help are left to die and are punished if they decide they want to contribute to the cost of their own care.

Albert Baxter, 77, was terminally ill. But he was turned down for a drug which could have prolonged his life and shrunk his tumour.

In desperation, he offered to pay for the treatment. But he was told if he did so, he would also have to foot the bill for the rest of his treatment, which he could not afford.

Mr Baxter must have lost all hope of living a comfortable life so he killed himself because of bastards in the NHS who would rather see him die than live.

Mr Baxter isn’t the only one being denied treatment. Tul Bahadur Pun is a Gurkha who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery in fighting for our country but he was denied the medical care that he needed for a heart condition. The person who denied him treatment should be kissing his feet and giving him the care that he needs and not treating the poor man like something on the bottom of his shoe.

The NHS is a disgrace.

Olympics village runs out of money

The cost of the Olympics is about to make another rise. According to the National Audit Office the budget for the London Olympics could significantly overrun due to security costs and other factors.

That isn’t even the half of it. I believe they are underplaying how much it could actually cost. The Olympics village has ran out of money which now means that more public money will be spent to bail it out. That means more hundreds of millions of pounds down the drain to finance facilities which will never be used again after 2012.

Eco-towns will not help environment

Eco towns look more and more dubious as time goes on and they look as though they will constrain the freedom to move about. You could even be fined for driving out of the town limits. You will also be stopped from parking your car near your own home but don’t worry there will be a car park at the edge of town which you will have to pay for

The government have a reason for this. They hate freedom and cars give you freedom to go anywhere you want at anytime. They say that it is because the towns are supposed to be green but if that was the case why are the towns being built to lower environmental standards than other towns? Why are they being built to level 3 instead of level 6 even though after 2016 all homes have to be built to level 6 meaning they are zero carbon. Why not just build them to that standard now if it is to protect the environment?

Wouldn’t it make sense to build eco towns as most environmentally friendly?

Labour stops opposition money

Labour are in such debt that it will probably damage their ability to fight the next election. The Labour party know this so they are trying to stop opposition parties from spending and raising more money than the Labour party can.

There is to be a limit on how much can be spent on election campaigns. While this would be a good thing Labour are only doing it because they are facing serious financial difficulties and probably couldn’t fight an effective campaign if there was an election right now.

There will also be a cap of £50,000 on individual donations which will hurt the Conservatives much more than Labour who have decided not to put a cap on donations from unions who give Labour millions and effectively stop them from going bankrupt.

Trade union donations should also be capped at the same as individual donations but that would destroy the Labour party within weeks and Labour don’t want to compete on an even playing field. They want to be able to have the unions donate millions of pounds while the Conservatives spend time looking for more and more donors to help them.

Judge stops treaty while Ireland will vote again

There is good news regarding the EU treaty. A judge has temporarily stopped ratification. While it probably won’t lead to anything it still gives us a small glimmer of hope. If the judgement comes back favourably for patriotic Brits we can than Stuart Wheeler.

If ratification is stopped it could also mean that the European Union will not be able to expand which is of course the best thing that could happen. I don’t want millions of Turks coming to this country when we already have millions from other countries coming here.

The European Union of course don’t like any opposition to their plans so will get around any judgement and any opposition. In Ireland they are going to make the Irish vote again until they give the EU the decision they want. The new referendum will probably be held next spring so they can rush the treaty in as fast as possible.

How compassionate is your nurse?

Nurses are to be scored on how compassionate they are towards patients as part of a government plan to improve quality in the NHS to be unveiled in the runup to the 60th anniversary of the health service next month.

The health secretary, Alan Johnson, wants the performance of every nursing team in every ward across England to be measured, with the results published on an official website.

This is a stupid idea and will only lead to more money being taken away from healthcare. The patients will provide feedback but someone will have to check the feedback meaning at least 1 administrator will have to be employed in every hospital to check it over. They will of course be paid which will mean this money will have to come out of the hospital budget which they could use on treating patients.

I don’t know how many hospitals there is but let’s give an estimate of 200. If administrators were paid on average £18,000 per year then the bill for this new scheme would be £3.6 million per year which should be spent on healthcare. As you can see this is another stupid idea by a stupid government.

New born babies put at risk

A pregnant woman was forced to give birth in a hospital corridor after being turned away from two other hospitals when she went into labour.

Humiliated new mother Emma Johnson gave birth in a hallway at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.

This new mother isn’t the first and she won’t be the last mother for this to happen to. Hundreds of sick babies have been turned away from London hospitals because of a shortage of intensive care beds. This is just in London. What about the rest of the country?

There is also a shortage of 2300 specialist nurses providing neonatal care which is putting even more babies at risk all because the government doesn’t know what they are doing but there is another element to this. Could it be that rising levels of immigration has lead to this?

Birth rates have rocketed in recent years which have taken government planners by surprise. Why is this when the native birth rate in this country has been steady? The only explanation there can be is that it is because of rising levels of immigration. Think of another reason why government planners failed to predict it when the native birth rate has not been rising.

60 soldiers killed by faulty equipment

As many as 60 British servicemen have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan because the Government failed to provide adequate equipment, a Tory inquiry has claimed.

Frederick Forsyth, the author and former RAF pilot chairing the special investigation into the treatment of the armed forces, accused ministers of 'frittering away billions' on pet projects while refusing to give troops fighting overseas the resources they need.

He said the work of the Military Covenant Commission - set up by David Cameron to help develop a Tory defence manifesto - had uncovered 'inadequate' policies towards the military in virtually every area it examined, from healthcare and education for troops' families to housing and legal support.

I am not surprised about this at all. The government haven’t even attempted to keep our soldiers safe. They would rather see the soldiers die than provide them with equipment which they need which is why I am glad that the government is being sued by families of those servicemen killed because of useless equipment. I hope they win and the government are forced to do something about it.

Anonymous witnesses to be allowed

The government has vowed to change the law to allow anonymous witnesses in some court cases after a key Law Lords ruling effectively halted the practice.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw said there was a real need for some witnesses to have their identities protected.

Mr Straw told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the law will be changed "as quickly as possible".

The ruling quashed the murder conviction of a man who was convicted with the aid of anonymous evidence.

While I sympathise with the government and the anonymous witnesses I think the law lords have made the right decision. Defendants should have the right to face their accuser as this is part of the process of a fair trial.

What the government should be doing is investing in witness protection programmes that will keep witnesses safe so that they do go ahead and tell their side of the story during a trial.

Not even Labour would do this

Homeowners face having to pay a specialist to inspect their trees under a safety regime drawn up by one of Britain’s most respected watchdogs.

The British standard for tree safety inspection would require all trees to be checked by a “trained person” every three years, with a still more rigorous “expert inspection” by an arboriculturist every five years.

Tree owners will also be obliged to conduct a “walk-by” inspection themselves once a year.

The drive to make all trees subject to inspection is being led not by the Health and Safety Executive - which opposes the move - but by the British Standards Institution (BSI). Highly respected in the building and engineering industries, it is better known for its views on the composition of cement than on the health of trees.

I don’t think even the government would go for this. It would lead to even higher taxes and could be bad for the environment. There will be tens of thousands of trees under the authority of each local council. Could you imagine the bill councils would have to pay? All it would lead to is councils paying to have trees knocked down because they would be unable to afford the maintenance without substantially increasing taxes.

The government would be mad to go along with this. It would damage them during a time where they are trying to look like a green and environmentally friendly party.

Are there 2000 terrorists?

The government doesn’t seem to be able to agree on the amount of terrorists in this country. In May 2007 MI5 said there were 2000 terrorists in Britain. Lord Stevens the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner disagreed and said it was closer to 4000.

A few days ago Gordon Brown makes a speech saying that the security services are monitoring 2000 terror suspects in the UK. It’s been over a year between MI5 claiming their amounts and Gordon Brown making his speech. Are we supposed to believe that the numbers of terrorists have remained static? I don’t believe that for one minute. Either our government is hiding the real numbers or the security services are too incompetent to arrest a decent number in one year. I don’t think it would be hard to arrest 300-400 of them particularly if they were actually terrorists.

This kind of makes a mockery of the government claim they need more time to hold terrorist suspects when it looks like they haven’t even made a move on any terrorists that they have been monitoring. Thank god the House of Lords might overturn the 42 day detention bill.

How can they be expected to run a country when they can’t even run their own political party?

Gordon to punish Richard Dannat

Army chief General Sir Richard Dannatt will not become head of the Armed Forces.

Sir Richard has incurred the wrath of ministers after commenting that soldiers are paid less than traffic wardens and their families in Britain are living in "appalling" housing.

He could have moved from his current post of Chief of the General Staff to Chief of the Defence Staff on the retirement of Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, but Sir Jock has been asked to stay on until a suitable replacement is found.

The government seem to hate opposition to their plans which is why they are going to punish Sir Richard Dannatt for speaking up for the troops. The fact is our troops are treated badly. They lack essential equipment that can save lives like the life of Guardsman Neil 'Tony' Downes who might have survived in his armoured vehicle if it had been fitted with electronic equipment capable of electronically disabling roadside bombs.

Spain to pay immigrants to go home

Spain will offer unemployed immigrant workers financial incentives to return to their countries of origin, labour and immigration minister Celestino Corbacho told newspaper El Pais on Sunday.

A slowing economy has halted Spain's construction boom and building sites are laying off workers, including many from Latin America, North Africa and Eastern Europe.

Corbacho said workers who agree to return will be entitled to receive accumulated unemployment benefits in two lump sums, provided they take their families with them and commit not to return to Spain for at least three years.

Corbacho estimated the incentives to be offered as of next month would affect 1 million workers and their families.

Immigrants account for about 10 percent of Spain's population, up from nominal levels in the early 1990s. In previous decades, many Spaniards left the country for northern Europe in search of work.

The BNP have been saying we should do this for years and now have been proven right. This is a common sense policy to deal with immigration but liberals just can’t see it that way. They are blinded by accusations of racism and just can’t handle that they are wrong.

Changing the education system

Our education system is inferior to many other countries. Children are given inferior teaching in failing schools and then they are over burdened with tests. The Liberal Democrats would like to change that.

The Liberal Democrats would replace national tests at seven and 14 which I think is a good idea. I don’t see the point in testing at 7 and 14. It doesn’t show anything but there is more reason to test pupils in their last year of primary school and secondary school. It shows how well the education is in both schools. In the last year of primary school they are about to take up a new challenge of secondary school while at the tests at secondary school decide their fate for the rest of their life.

The Swedes have also good ideas when it comes to education. I have covered that subject before but now the Swedes are going to adopt the IGCSE which is far more demanding that our own GCSE because it is internationally recognised and I believe we should do the same. Our country should be competing on the world stage and we need a better educated workforce to do this and the GCSE is increasingly seen as not worth the paper it is printed on.

Our schools minister doesn’t seem to like the IGCSE though. Jim Knight has said that "We do not agree that the IGCSE is in any way superior to the GCSE.” However as this government has an open door policy and is allowing anyone to come in and work the government should be allowing our workforce to compete on an international level like the Eastern Europeans are doing.

Labour could force people into debt

High-earning families could be kicked out of their council homes in an effort to help needy people stuck on waiting lists.

And tenants who own a second property also face eviction under plans being considered by ministers.

The move comes after a report found 261,000 households benefit from cheap council housing despite having an income of more than £2,000 a month after tax.

This includes 38,000 families earning more than £50,000 a year - way above the national average of £27,000.

But four million people with genuine need for subsidised housing are languishing on waiting lists.

The study by the New Local Government Network said householders should be made to do an annual tenancy review.

High-earners would be encouraged to move out or face a rise in their rents.

If the government were so bothered about low earners having access to houses he would stop people coming into this country to allow more homes to be freed up. If there are less people there would obviously be more housing to go around.

This is also just going to hurt people who have not earned enough to afford a house partly because of sky high taxes. Does this government seriously think that people would keep paying rent to the council if they could afford to buy a house?

All this will do is encourage more people to apply for mortgages who can’t afford them or don’t want to go into debt but have to because of government policy. This policy will just force more people into debt and the debt in this country is already bad enough.

Less food and energy because of EU rules

If you were the European Union fanatic and you were faced with the prospect citizens of a member state wanting to leave what would you do to make them want to stay forever? The answer would be to make them need you for all sorts of things like electricity and food and that is exactly what the EU is trying to do.

A proposed EU directive could force our coal-fired power stations to shut down earlier than planned. Our government is already going to close down nuclear power stations.

The EU already has a law in place which has been blamed for the recent blackout which resulted in 500,000 homes going without power. The European Union’s Large Combustion Plant Directive sets strict limits on the number of hours that some of Britain’s largest and most heavily polluting coal and oil-fired power stations can operate before they have to close in 2015. The time is measured in “stack hours” — the length of time that chimney stacks, rather than individual generation units, are in use.

It is clear what is going to happen if this is allowed to continue. We will rely more and more on foreign nations to power our country giving us every reason to stay in the EU because we will suddenly need them to heat our homes even though they are the ones that caused the power shortages. The same is true for our food. Once they control our food supply they decide whether we live or starve to death.

A new EU proposal would outlaw four fifths of the chemicals used by UK farmers and cut crop yields by between a quarter and a half meaning that we will have to rely more and more on imports to feed our country.

The EU knows what they are doing. They know that their actions will result in less food and energy for us and could result in us starving or freezing if we left it too late to leave, that’s if we ever left at all.

House of Lords could delay treaty

As the our government and the EU continues with the ratification of the constitutional treaty regardless of what the Irish have decided we are left with the House of Lords to save us yet again but this time they probably can only save us until October but it could be enough time.

If the Lords manage to delay it on Wednesday you can thank Lord Owen as the plans of europhiles will be scuppered yet again. If that fails we might have to hope that the EU will be willing to listen to two countries if the Czech Senate votes to reject it which they most likely will.

The EU still probably won’t take no for an answer which will probably mean that they change some of the treaty and say it is something different and stop the Irish from voting against them and tricking the Czech Senate into believing it is something else.

The missiles, used to protect the destroyers and larger aircraft carriers against air attack, have been stored away even though HMS Exeter has sailed to the Mediterranean twice and joined a NATO-led operation in that time.

If these destroyers were ever attacked they would find it more difficult to defend themselves as their Sea Dart guided missile system is their primary defence.

Reward this woman

Normally I get sick and tired of all sorts of women and assorted ethnic minorities grumbling over perceived discrimination that they receive but this story made me think otherwise.

Rabia Siddique helped a male officer rescue two SAS men from an Iraqi mob.

He got an MC. She got a hug and when she complained she got a worse job than she had. As far as I am concerned her complaint was legitimate and she should have been rewarded for her bravery not treated like a child.

She should have been treated like any other brave soldier who risked their lives to save soldiers in danger from angry mobs with guns but she was treated like she didn’t even matter. This woman is a soldier and a good one at that.

Gordon lies to troops

GORDON Brown reacted to the Army chief’s plea for a troops pay rise yesterday – but failed to promise cash.

The Prime Minister said soldiers’ efforts would be “recognised” and “rewarded”.

He was speaking after General Sir Richard Dannatt told The Sun troops were getting a poor deal on pay.

Gen Dannatt compared the pay of junior service personnel with traffic wardens and said he would like to see above-inflation rises.

Mr Brown said: “I recognise the huge contribution our Armed Forces make and we will continue to try to reward them for the dedication and commitment they show, often in very difficult theatres of war.

You will continue to try to reward them? You mean you have been trying? I would hate to see you not trying to reward them. I don’t think you have rewarded them once even though they are fighting two wars and have to make budget cuts at the same time.

If you are rewarding them why have you given them a part time cabinet minister who recently justified their low wages labelling them unemployable in real life. That’s hardly rewarding them. Infact it’s insulting them.

British motorists to pay more

British motorists pay billions a year in taxes that affect only them but they get very little for their money. British motorists pay £44 billion per year but the government won’t stump up a fraction of that to pay for £200 million per year repair bill to fix roads full of potholes even though our crumbling roads cost us nearly £3billion a year in car repairs.

Even though we already give the government tens of billions of pounds to spend the government now wants more money by making us pay a congestion charge to enter our own cities. If we want a job we will now have to pay just to get to and from work. The wealthier members of society won’t care. It will be the lower paid who lose out yet again.

The government know that people don’t like being taxed so much especially when they receive so little in return which is why they don’t want people organising opposition to sky high fuel taxes. The Daily Express tried just to put a petition on the government petitions website asking for fuel tax to be lowered but it was refused, such is the government’s hatred of any opposition.

EU wont take no for an answer

Irish voters seized a chance denied to the British people last night and delivered a decisive 'No' to a European superstate.

Gordon Brown was left with a massive political headache after a shock result in the Ireland referendum on the Lisbon Treaty plunged the European Union into turmoil.

Today, Conor Lenihan, Ireland's Minister of State with responsibility for integration, said while he could not rule out another poll it was 'unlikely' the country would hold another referendum on the treaty. A second vote could inflict even more damage on the EU reform proposals, he added.

The EU will still get by the will of the people regardless of what people want. You see people don’t matter as long as they vote the wrong way. Before Ireland even voted no the europhiles already had a plan to get the treaty through.

By late 2009 or early 2010, when Croatia joins the EU, an amending "Accession Treaty" will be signed by all members including Dublin.

Ireland, like the rest of the Europe, does not hold referendums on EU enlargement treaties and with new protocol opt-outs Dublin may get a new Accession Treaty past the Irish parliament without a popular vote.

The EU treaty is not dead. It will just take 1-2 more years to get it through. The Irish voters this time won’t be given a choice incase they vote no just like with the votes in Holland and France.

The Irish have destroyed the Lisbon treaty that would have given each country less of a say in the running of their own country however the Europhiles just won’t take no for an answer. David Milliband still thinks it should be ratified despite its rejection by Irish voters.

We won’t get a referendum even though the majority of British people don’t want to be in a political union. Only a third of people think we should stay in the European Union while the rest want to either leave or renegotiate the EU back into a trade only union.

Our MPs won’t listen of course because our opinions don’t matter. They think that they are the elite and that they should be the ones to decide what happens. We should have no say. It’s time that these people were told that we won’t take it anymore and that they should pack their bags and go abroad where they might be wanted.

Young rapists get community sentences

THOUSANDS of young thugs convicted of sex offences and violence get off with community sentences, shock figures reveal.

Less than half are locked up, despite the seriousness of their crimes.
The revelations will fuel fears teenage louts get off lightly.

A total of 860 young offenders were sentenced for sex attacks in 2006, but 474 – 55 per cent – were given community sentences.

A further 15,016 under18s were found guilty of violent offences, but 8,372, or 56 per cent, got off with a community sentence.

When will the government actually start being tough on crime? These people should be in prison. It doesn’t matter if they are young. Community punishments are still just a slap on the wrist.

There are far too many children that are let off to easily and we are supposed to believe that thousands of children are needlessly criminalised. If anything there aren’t enough children that are criminalised. They should be punished harshly.

Stabbings soar but do MPs care?

SERIOUS stabbings have soared by more than half under Labour, the Daily Express can reveal.

Almost 6,000 victims were treated in hospital last year for stab or slash wounds compared with around 3,800 in 1998.

The number of women being attacked has increased by a third while figures for children under 14 being hurt have almost doubled.

It means the equivalent of 16 people every day are being so seriously wounded they need hospital care – often having to stay on a ward for two days.

You would think with knife crime being such a growing and serious crime MPs would be really concerned about it, especially those MPs who live in London but unfortunately only 10 of the 74 London MPs bothered to turn up to a knife crime debate. There even less MPs from other parts of the country.

Government win 42 day detention

There are advantages and disadvantages of the government winning the 42 day detention vote. The disadvantage is that they can keep you without charge for 42 days. No government should be allowed to do that. If the suspects are guilty they should be charged. If there is a lot of evidence to sift through then the government should provide whatever manpower is needed.

If you were innocent you would want compensation if they kept you for this long which is why I am happy to see that the government have promised to give £3000 compensation per day to anyone not charged after 28 days.

If the government were actually serious about dealing with terrorism they would pour more resources into dealing with terrorism and not lock you up for 42 days without charge. They would also stop leaving sensitive information lying around on trains. Such incompetence should not be tolerated and anyone doing so should be sacked.

AN Islamic website which backs suicide bombers got a £35,000 Government – a month before the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks. One member even praised a beheading video of British hostage Ken Bigley.

Celebrating St Georges day never even received 1% of the money those Muslim fanatic received. In 5 years Labour spent just £230 celebrating St Georges day. It seems no matter how much Labour say they love this country their actions speak for themselves and they show that they have a deep hatred for English people while giving money to those that support the bombing of innocent English people.

MPs lose their expenses

MPs just don’t seem to want to let us know what they have gotten up to these last few years. They are trying to keep their expenses under wraps so we don’t know what they have been spending our money on. They are succeeding at it too. They have shredded more than 1 million documents relating to their expenses so we will never know what they spent the money on.

For now they have succeeded in hiding their past expenses but they won’t be able to hide their future expenses however we do know some of what the money was spent on. For instance Commons Speaker Michael Martin has enjoyed visits to some of the world's most exclusive hotels at the taxpayers' expense and this same man is chairing the committee of MPs looking at their allowances. This is of course going to be a biased report if MPs are on the committee.

Thankfully Michael Martin isn’t being allowed to get away with it. Sir Christopher Kelly who is chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life threatened to hold an inquiry as he rightly believes MPs will be biased over their own expenses.

Gordon Brown is a clever man

I blogged a few weeks ago that the Labour party is heavily in debt and the only thing keeping them solvent is donations from trade unions. The Unions are of course threatening to stop donating them money so Gordon has to do something.

Gordon Brown is an evil genius. The unions are crying out for another bank holiday while the rest of the country are beginning to hate the Labour party for their hatred of this country.

How would Gordon keep the support of the unions while looking patriotic? Gordon figured it out and is now trying to con us. He has decided that there will be a bank holiday to celebrate Britishness. This has of course nothing to do with celebrating britishness. It is just a way to keep the support of the unions so that they keep giving Labour money so that Gordon doesn’t have to go into debt to pay off Labour debts.

Their financial troubles are so bad they are making their own MPs pay £2200 to help to pay off their debts. That is how desperate they are.

Food shortages in Africa

The world is trying to make the West feel sorry for Africa again but we should not feel guilty for anything. It is their own fault that they are starving.

UN food agency chief Jacques Diouf moaned that billions are being wasted on feeding obese people in the West while millions starve around the world. Mr Diouf should realise that these people wouldn’t be starving if they stopped popping another kid out every chance they got. They would probably have enough food to go around if they just had 2 children to feed instead of a dozen.

If the population of the planet keeps on rising there is of course going to be more famines and more people will starve. To deal with the increasing population UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said that world food production must rise by 50% by 2030 to meet increasing demand but the thing is there will be more people who will require more living space and they will have to get it from somewhere. Undeveloped areas would have to be built on with houses but these areas could also be used for farms.

World food production won’t rise anywhere near as significantly as they want it to because it just can’t unless GM crops are used and even then it will still be difficult and it will be even more difficult in Britain as we will have less farms than we do already. We will then have to rely on foreign countries for our own food.

Countries like Ethiopia who have just received £10m in aid from us should be told they will not get anymore aid unless they put in population control measures to reduce their birthrate. Reducing their birthrate should be a condition of receiving anymore aid. If they don’t do it they will be told that they can starve the next time there is a famine in their country.

Immigrants don't take jobs apparently

The government doesn’t seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to immigration. Apparently East European immigrants don’t take British jobs - because Britons are 'unmotivated and uneducated'. The fact that it is the government’s fault that people are uneducated doesn’t seem to bother them.

The thing is the uneducated would be getting the lowest paid jobs which the Eastern Europeans are getting at present so they are taking jobs that Britons would like to do but why would you do them if your wages are going down while the cost of living is going up? Of course you would be unmotivated to do those jobs.

The government are obviously trying to justify their reckless policies that have seen £33 million in child benefit paid to immigrants whose children don’t even live in this country.

While the government can deny that immigrants put British workers out of business they have had to admit that in some parts of the country immigration is fuelling tensions in many areas of the country.

Immigrants want more translators

IMMIGRANTS who have settled in Nuneaton and Bedworth have hit out over interpretation and translation services in the borough.

They say family members - especially children - should not be used as interpreters at hospitals, GP surgeries and dental practices. And they have singled out Nuneaton's George Eliot Hospital for particular criticism.

But the hospital has hit back, insisting it takes "very seriously" its role in a multicultural society.

Also in line for criticism are agencies like the Nuneaton and Bedworth Citizens' Advice Bureau, whose boss maintains staff are "very sensitive" to the needs of black and minority ethnic (BME) groups in the borough.

If immigrants want translation services maybe they should start coughing up the money to pay for them. I don’t see any reason why more council tax should be paid just so these people don’t have to learn english.

Immigrants and crime

There is something seriously wrong with how we treat immigrant criminals. A prison to deal with foreign criminals released prisoners without proper preparation because it wrongly assumed they would be deported. If I was the prison governor I would have assumed the exact same thing.

They should have automatically been deported the first time they stepped foot outside prison but idiots in government don’t seem to think that way. Idiot judges are something else to watch out for because while they are idiots they make decisions which are dangerous. Judge Julian Hall ruled that an illegal immigrant who abused a young girl for three years was not dangerous and should be free to stay in the UK after going to prison for more than 5 years.

Why is this idiot allowed to be a judge? He is doing more harm than good. He should be removed as a judge immediately and Nurul Islam should be automatically deported when released.

Most immigrants here to stay

The majority of the two million immigrants to Britain since 1991 are here to stay, according to an analysis of official figures.

Most new arrivals come from 'Third World' areas such as Africa and India.

According to the Migrationwatch think-tank, which provided the analysis, people from this group are less likely to return home.

Only 8 per cent of immigrants between 1991 and 2006 came from the new European Union nations of Eastern Europe. They are entitled to move freely between the UK and their home country.

Labour don’t like to hear that their lies are no longer believed and they don’t like to hear immigrants give no benefit to this country at all. The House of Lords slapped down every single argument to justify immigration and the government decides they don’t want to hear it and that no amount of facts will get them out of their dream land.

Our water is being poisoned

CONTROVERSIAL plans to add fluoride to Southampton's water supply have been condemned by a green MEP.

Just weeks after Prime Minister Gordon Brown insisted water fluoridation would benefit the city's residents, Green MEP Dr Caroline Lucas, pictured above right, paid a personal visit to health chiefs to condemn the proposals.

In February Health Secretary Alan Johnson pledged an extra £14m for health authorities that want to add fluoride to their water supplies to boost dental health and the Prime Minister said he had "seen the benefits of fluoridation".

Dr Lucas has demanded the proposals to add the chemical to Southampton's water be dropped.
She said: "Water fluoridation has simply not been proven to be effective for teeth, particularly when the bad effects of dental fluorosis are taken into account.

If the government would like to give us better dental health they should be focusing on dentistry but instead 800,000 fewer people have access to NHS dentists.

Putting dangerous medication into the water supply is not the answer. The answer is to actually invest in dental health and give more people access to an NHS dentist.

Care home residents left neglected

We all know that public sector organisations treatb the elderly badly and it seems that it is just getting worse and not better. Those that can’t care for themselves are being made to pay while services to them are being cut.

Those in care homes are being left unfed and neglected by care homes who couldn’t care less about them.
Care home inspectors found that half of all care homes are failing to properly look after residents with dementia.
They found homes where residents were barred from moving about, where they went hungry because no one bothered to help them eat and where they were left to stare at a television all day long.
Those who aren’t lucky enough to get into a care home have to actually pay for care even though many elderly people rely on their pension as their only source of income. They are having to choose between home care and food which has just increased in price, that’s not to mention energy costs.

The cost of just living for the elderly has risen so substantially that is it very believable that more pensioners are in poverty. They have to shell out more in council tax, food energy and now they have to pay more for much needed care. With a fixed income it is no wonder that they are living in poverty.

NHS committing murder

The NHS is committing murder by refusing to give people treatment because they dare to pay for drugs to prolong their life that the NHS refuses to pay for.

Linda O’Boyle died after being denied treatment for paying for private drugs that are not available on the NHS. As far as I am concerned this is murder. Why is it wrong to want to live longer? NHS drugs were not working but the private drugs did work and she was advised by doctors about the drug. I hope whoever denied her treatment gets a baseball bat around the head, or better yet get the same cancer that Linda O’Boyle had.

Richard Eckley is in the same boat and he is probably going to have to go into debt just to continue to live and if he can’t afford it anymore he could die all because the NHS wouldn’t pay for his drugs to battle kidney cancer.

Surely if Mr Eckley isn’t getting the treatment on the NHS which he paid for through taxes then shouldn’t he get those taxes back seeing as they are not being put to use helping him to stay alive?

More than half of their MEPs have refused to comply with rules requiring them to reveal how they spend our money. These people should not have a choice in the matter. They are supposed to work for our interests. We are the ones who pay them. We need transparency to stop sleazy politicians taking us for mugs.

Olympics bill increases

The Olympics is getting more expensive by the day. I don’t think we should try to get it again because I wouldn’t be surprised if the equivalent cost came to £1 billion pounds for every day of the Olympics. Infact, that’s probably an underestimate.

The budget for policing the Olympics is probably going almost double to £1 billion which will probably wipe out the entire emergency fund and could even be much higher than £1 billion.

Policing is not all of the cost though. The Olympics bosses could be spending more money fighting court cases as disgruntled small business owners fight for promised compensation which they haven’t received yet. This will mean that after spending money on the compensation (which they eventually will do) they will probably have to shell out millions of pounds in legal fees just to hold the Olympics for 2 weeks and for what? The Olympics won’t give any lasting benefit to the country.

Just ask Greece how much the Olympics benefited them. The buildings that were built for the games have never been used again resulting in crumbling graffiti filled buildings which are useless and costing even more money in security. The Greek government spent £9 billion on the Olympics, much less than what we will probably spend and they are in a financial mess because of it.

Asian children are victims of political correctness

Social workers and police are ignoring abuse in Asian families out of political correctness, a charity said today.

Pressure to 'respect other cultures' meant nothing was done to protect victims and cases were handled badly, according to the NSPCC.

A report said Asians responsible for violence against children used their culture and religion as a shield to cover and justify abuse.

NSPCC manager Saleha Islam said: 'Asian children and their mothers suffer the double injustice of a community that would rather save face than deal with domestic violence and a system that lacks cultural understanding and so hides behind political correctness.'

Why are police putting political correctness before the welfare of children. It shouldn’t matter what the culture was in the backward country which they came from. They are in this country and should conform to our cultures and laws and not their own barbaric customs.

Political correctness is putting the lives of children at risk just so Asians don’t have their feelings hurt. The police and socisal services are much worse than the Asians that actually do this because they have the power to stop it from happening yet choose to sit by and do nothing while children are abused.

Gordon Brown acts tough on crime

Gordon Brown is trying to act tough again but the reality shows that he is anything but tough on crime. A few days ago it was reported that immigrants are responsible for a lot of the knife crime.

The government have decided to make it so that those who carry knives face tough sentences than crappy sentences they do at the moment. Anyone over the age of 16 who is caught with a knife will face automatic prosecution and risk a jail sentence of up to four years. The key word here is ‘risk’. Criminals already risk 4 years in prison but they normally get less than 4 months so nothing will change especially if these people are immigrants.

Immigrants won’t receive any real punishment just like at present. 1400 of them have already been released early and have been allowed to stay in prison. Immigration officials were told that they shouldn’t even attempt and deport anyone who hasn’t been sentenced to more than a year because it’s too difficult to deport them as it is especially if they are from an EU country.

If these foreign criminals are released early they then get £170 compensation for loss of bed and board in jail. All this makes a mockery of what Gordon Brown promises. You can’t trust the competence of this government. Even Britain's most dangerous inmate, Charles Bronson has said that prisons are cushy compared to what they were.

Traffic wardens earn more than soldiers

General Sir Richard Dannatt, the head of the Army, has called for a pay rise for soldiers after discovering traffic wardens get paid more than those on the frontline.

He said the question of pay was the most important issue facing the Armed Forces today.

More than 20,000 personnel left the Forces last year, many citing the poor salary as their reason. The lowest paid soldiers are on just £12,572 a year while traffic wardens receive a basic salary of £17,000. Servicemen and women were given a pay rise of just 2.6 this year.

How could our armed forces be paid so little for doing so much when traffic wardens get paid so much? The government has the money they just choose to spend it on frivolous projects like spending hundreds of millions of pounds on helicopters that can’t fly when it rains. How stupid are our leaders?

Sir Mugabe

Gordon Brown has rejected angry calls to strip murderous dictator Robert Mugabe of his honorary knighthood.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg urged the Prime Minister to remove the honour to press the Zimbabwean president's 'odious regime to heel'.

But Mr Brown warned that revoking the title, awarded by John Major's Tory government in 1994, would undermine Government efforts to force the tyrant to end human rights abuses, including beating, torturing and killing opponents.

I am sure if it was a white man murdering blacks and taking their land they would be taking his honour without any hesitation but seeing how much Labour hate white people he is happy to see it go on.

Profitable post offices may close

The Minister in charge of the controversial plans to close thousands of post offices has admitted that some profitable branches are being closed.

The news is likely to fire the anger of the tens of thousands of people across the UK who are opposing local closures.

The Government is midway through an unpopular plan to close 2,500 post offices in bid to cut the network’s losses, which are running at £4million a week.

However Pat McFadden, the post office minister, said today that Royal Mail is closing branches that were making profits.

The government has no reason to shut post offices that are profitable. If they are going to close any of the post offices it should be those that aren’t profitable but the government has a totally different agenda. Closing post offices was never about cutting losses it was about something entirely different.

The European Commission is set to propose a full liberalisation of postal services by 2009, which will force member states to stop protecting public operators from national or cross-border competition. Also article 88 of the Treaty of Amsterdam forbids national government from giving state aid without the permission of the EU. Do you think the EU will give permission when they are trying to bring in more competition? I don’t think so either.

Almost 1000 have left Armed Forces

Almost a thousand servicemen have left the Armed Forces since the start of the year, prompting fears for the safety of troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Government figures released on Thursday showed that the number of full-time trained personnel leaving the services had accelerated.

From January to April 1, provisional figures showed that staff levels had fallen from 174,910 to 173,960, leaving the Armed Forces more than 5,000 troops short of its own target. The casualty rate in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the 97th soldier died this week, and the low pay of infantry soldiers have been identified as factors persuading recruits to leave early.

The latest losses represent a significant increase in the rate of departure from the Armed Forces. In the period between last October and January this year, the number of full-time service personnel increased by 130. The figures follow a report by the Commons Defence Committee, which said earlier this year that it was “deeply concerned” that the Armed Forces had been operating above the level of their resources for seven of the past eight years.

Of course soldiers are leaving. It’s a wonder a lot more haven’t left the armed forces after the treatment they receive from the government. Injured soldiers who can no longer fight are frequently given a pittance for their services. Jon Le Galloudec was left severely crippled by a sniper. For his sacrifice he was given just £35,000, probably just enough to survive on for 2-3 years. After that he can live a destitute life for all the government care.

The government treats our injured soldiers so badly that charities have to step in to actually provide the care that soldiers need. These charities don’t get enough money from the government, that’s if they get any money at all.

The armed forces rehabilitation centre recently raised £1m from a 350 mile fundraising ride from the battlefields of northern France to the Cenotaph in central London. While raising money is a good thing they shouldn’t have to do it for injured soldiers. The government should be eternally grateful for the sacrifices that these brave soldiers made in fighting wars that this government started and that these soldiers were crippled in. It’s not much to ask to provide the care that is needed.

Thousands won't leave prison

A few days ago I blogged that the government are planning to release tens of thousands of criminals from prisons to help with prison overcrowding.

It now seems that the government were planning to release thousands more but those criminals like it so much in prison that they chose to stay because real life is apparently tough compared to prison.

The prisons in this country are so overcrowded that wife beaters are going to avoid prison because there is no room for them. Infact the government has shelved an entire new law to help battered wives because they would be unable to enforce it without prison.

Prisoners that do choose the option of early release frequently go back to crime because they see no incentive not to. An example would be Anthony Thompson who raped an expectant mother only 1 day after being released. The woman can thank the Labour government for their incompetent management of the prison system that has lead to criminals being released just to go back to their criminal ways.

Immigrants blamed for knife crime

A chief constable gave a stark public warning yesterday of 'immense' pressure placed on resources by the unprecedented influx of immigrants.

Julie Spence, who heads Cambridgeshire Police, took the highly unusual step of singling out Poles, Lithuanians and Iraqi Kurds who are carrying knives on the streets.

The comments of such a senior officer in an Parliamentary evidence session will spark widespread alarm at a time when the UK is struggling to control knife crime.

Mrs Spence said: 'We have had the Iraqi Kurds who carry knives and the Poles and the Lithuanians who carry knives. If it is normal to carry them where you come from, you need to educate them pretty quickly. We have done a lot of work to tell them not to, and we have seen it go down.'

Could immigration be the reason why the government refuses to take knife crime seriously? It must be becoming harder and harder for even liberals to think that immigration is a good thing. They should know by now that immigration contributes to our housing shortages and the pressure put on public services is made worse by immigrants.

More immigrants are just going to make a bad situation much worse. In the future we will see power cuts as our power stations struggle to meet increasing demand and rising food prices as much needed farmland to cope with an increased population is concreted over to build ever more houses.

If liberals haven’t figured it out yet where have they been? I am not blaming immigrants for some of the problems however the problem is increased population which immigrants contribute to.

Being like Fritzl

People who fail to tackle climate change are acting like an Austrian man who locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years, an Anglican bishop has said.

The Bishop of Stafford, Gordon Mursell, wrote in a parish letter that not confronting global warming meant people were "as guilty as" Josef Fritzl.

It meant future generations would be left in a futureless world, he said.

Doe this man even know what he is talking about? If he actually did the research he would find out that he is a lunatic to believe what he believes. He should stick to his day job of trying to get people to believe in god and not even attempt to talk about something he has no understanding over. Tens of thousands of scientists have already signed a petition denying that man is responsible for climate change. Does he think that he knows more than people who have PHDs in science?

Climate change doesn’t necessarily have to be bad as Greenland has found. In Greenland it is being seen as an opportunity for independence and prosperity. If man was responsible for global warming wouldn’t the Bishop of Stafford be more like Josef Fritzl to Greenland for trying to deny them the opportunity to prosper?

Government caught lying over bin collections

The government has been caught lying yet again. This time they have been caught lying about fortnightly bin collections. The government have been saying that there is no health risk to the public from fortnightly bin collections but a report showed different.

The report found that ending weekly collections would "significantly alter the pest infestation rates and hence the disease transmission at source", while vermin and insects could be "encouraged into the home environment".

The government didn’t just lie to the public, they also misled Parliament. When asked by the Conservatives about the bin collections they responded by saying there was "no evidence in published studies" to indicate a link between cutting collections and increased risks to health. The government weren’t lying because they refused to publish the study so while there was no evidence in published studies there was in studies which the government didn’t want to publish because it would show they were incompetent and wrong.

17,000 homes built on flood planes

Great Britain is running out of space to build any more homes but because of government incompetence we have to find ever more homes for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that come into this country every year.

Councils are finding it difficult to find suitable places to build homes which is why they are having to build 17,000 homes on flood plains every year increasing the risk that there will be more devastating floods that the country has to deal with.

Dealing with immigration is also the reason why eco towns are being pushed through. Any sane person would tell you that the more you build the greater the environmental damage and more people equal more environmental damage. Areas where eco towns are finding this out and Labour could suffer a backlash from even more people turning against them. People don’t want the countryside to be spoiled so that houses can be built. They want to be able to go for a walk in the countryside or just admire the views. You can’t do any of that when it is concreted over.

Haulage jobs to be lost

European truck drivers are set to swarm on to Britain’s roads because of new competition laws passed in Brussels.

Foreign lorries are currently banned from acquiring fresh business in the UK once they have delivered their loads here, except in exceptional circumstances.

But a new regulation, passed by the EU Parliament last month, will let European hauliers take on three more British jobs before returning home within a week.

This will rise to seven jobs by 2010, and by 2014 the new law will allow them unlimited access to UK markets – both in the number of jobs and the time it takes to do them.

As overseas hauliers use cheaper fuel and unregulated labour, particularly from Eastern Europe, British operators claim they will be unable to compete.

Experts believe that the move will cost the British economy an estimated £165million and cause hundreds of small hauliers to close.

This is just brilliant news for hauliers. Competition is a good thing but is this fair competition when the foreign companies already have the advantage with cheaper fuel and labour?

This time the government won’t be able to say they are only taking the jobs that Brits won’t do because Brits are doing those jobs now. The only reason any government would allow this would be so that they can deliberately destroy the British haulage industry. What other reason could there be?

What are parents supposed to do?

Parents who fail to stop their teenage children binge-drinking or ‘persistently possessing’ alcohol in town centres and streets face heavy fines, community service orders and even jail.

A new Government crackdown will target the parents of drunken, abusive youngsters who repeatedly defy attempts to stop them creating disorder in public places.

Under plans to be unveiled by a trio of Cabinet Ministers, the Government will pledge to create a new offence for under-18s of ‘persistently possessing alcohol in public areas’ and give police new powers to disperse them.

What are parents supposed to do exactly? The government has criminalised them from doing anything meaningful to their children. Children learn from an early age what type of discipline they can expect to receive from their parents and grounding isn’t going to do much.

Does the government seriously think an out of control teenager who regularly drinks and has fights is going to obey their parents because they get grounded? Tell them they are grounded and they will laugh in their parents faces and leave the house. The only thing that would stop them would be discipline from an early age and not the grounding type of discipline. I mean the smacking kind where the child knows that if he goes too far he can expect physical pain. Only then will they obey their parents.
