Massive Rise In Crime
Figures taken from the British Crime Survey for the period 1997 - 2003 show a massive rise in crime with a very low detection rate.
The various types of crime are shown below.
Homicides +35%
Gun Crime +48% ( +89% in year 2002-2003 )
Armed Burglary +16%
Violence Against The Person +30%
Other Violent Crime +18%
Death By Dangerous Driving +31%
Robbery +91%
Drugs +566%
Criminal Damage +34%
Nationwide the Police Detection Rate is 18.8%
Compare the British crime figures with those of The United States.
U.S.A. Homicides DOWN 66%
All Violent Crime DOWN 60%
Burglary DOWN 42%
Deduction
U.K. The Government is soft on crime and punishment
Average sentencing length at Crown Court is 23.6 months
The massive rise in crime can be directly attributed to the 1997
handgun ban which prior to that date were legally held by
thousands of sports people for the purpose of range shooting.
The VICTIMS of crimes are hounded by the police and courts should
they dare to defend themselves.
The criminal can sue his/her victim for injuries caused in the course
of the criminal act.
U.S.A. The Federal Government and each State have adopted a ZERO
TOLERANCE approach towards crime and criminals
The right to bear arms is enshrined in the constitution,
The enactment of “Make My Day” which allows householders to
defend themselves, their family and their property up to and
including the use of deadly force, and where all householders
have an affirmative defense in any criminal prosecution and
be immune from any civil liability for injuries or death resulting
from such self defense.
The United States approach has made a major contribution to the REDUCTION
in crime against the person and property.
Judges Told Not To Jail Criminals
Under Government proposals prison sentences are to be linked to whether or not there are enough prison places
Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, condemned the move, unveiled by Charles Clarke, the Labour Home Secretary.
David Davis said “For the first time in British history, sentencing will be decided by economics rather than the merits of the case”.
This violation of our criminal justice system means that thousands of criminals would receive shorter sentences or no sentence at all
The new “Management of Offenders” Bill is an admission that the Government’s prison policy has FAILED. The Government should be building more prisons.
Last year, Lord Chief Justice Woolf called for shorterprison terms for murderers indicating that the present 15 year minimum term a killer now serves should be reduced to 10 years.
What sort of messages do Clarke and Woolf send out?
Answer Tough luck victim and be soft on the criminal.
Burglar Law Betrayal
Prime Minister, Tony Blair, has reneged on his promise to beef up the law to tackle burglars.
Blair and the new Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, ruled that the law will NOT be changed to give householders enhanced self-defense rights.
The outgoing Met Police Chief, Sir John Stevens, stated that the current “reasonable force” law was too vague. Sir John added “People should be allowed to use what force is necessary without fear of prosecution”.
On 08 Dec 2004, Tony Blair said, “I share the coments of Sir John Stevens. If we get the right response we’ll support a change in the law”.
We have news for you Mr. Blair. A poll taken on wed 12 Jan 2005 showed that 99% of the public believe that they need greater rights of self protection in their homes.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Ken Donald, stated “People being burgled are frightened and it is the intruder’s fault”.
The Association of Chief Police Officers insisted the law needs clarifying not changing. We do not agree with the Association. We believe the law need changing in favour of the victim.
Currently the fear of imprisonment or physical harm lies with the householder.
These fears should be reversed so they lie with the burglar.
Public Backs Use Of Lethal Force
A poll, by YouGov, found that:
75% of people believe householders should have an unqualified right to use
force, up to and including deadly force, against people breaking into their
homes.
75% believe the curent law, which allows householders to use “reasonable
force” when tackling a burglar, provides insufficient protection against
prosecution.
18% keep a weapon such as a golf club, knife or hammer by their bed to defend
themselves against intruders at night.
83% believe laws relating to burglary are weighted in favour of the burglar rather
than the householder.
93% want to make it impossible for burglars to sue householders for
compensation if they are injured in a fight during a break-in.
Surrey Police Assistant Chief Constable, Mark Rowley, speaking for the
Association of Chief Constables, said he found the results worrying
Why Mr Rowley, do you find the results worrying?
The law regarding self-defense is vague.
The police are only too willing to prosecute the victim - an easy target.
The courts punish the victim not the criminal.
Crime detection rate is only 18.8%
Criminals can sue their victims.
Those Mr Rowley, are some of the things that you should worry about.
Dad, Aged 60, Fought And Slashed Burglar
Cedric Hammonds sent a gang of masked robbers fleeing when he fought back using a samurai sword after seeing his wife, Pat, being attacked by a burglar.
Staffordshire Police have used common sense in this case.
A police spokesperson said “We are treating the householder as a witness and not a suspect and are not considering prosecution against him”.
Well done Cedric. You have shown bravery and courage in fighting for your family against vicious criminals.
Justice has ben served. Blair Clarke and Woolf, take note, victims have had enough of your soft approach to crime.
WE WILL FIGHT BACK.
New Low For British Justice.
Ian Ross, father of a 5 year old boy, fought off two young thugs who tried to rob his son.
The police did nothing except charge Ian with assault, even though the assault was a clip round the ear for one of the thugs
Judge Jeremy Griggs punished Ian by giving him 18 months probation, and then offered sympathy.
What hypocrisy. The Judge should have thrown the case out of court and ordered the Devon police to use common sense.
The victims here are, the 5 year old boy and Ian Ross who defended his son. Ian now has a criminal record while the thugs go free.
Justice has NOT been served

Blair’s Police State.
The Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, is transforming Britain into a police state, one of the country’s former leading anti-terrorist police chiefs said on 27 jan.
Mr George Churchill-Coleman who headed Scotland Yard’s anti-terrorist squad said “Mr Clarke’s proposals to extend powers, such as indefinite house arrest give rise to serious concerns. You cannot lock people up just because someone says they are terrorists. You need evidence”.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Charles Clarke warns of the need to monitor not only alleged terror suspects but their families, friends and acquaintances. They could be subject to daily searches even though they are not accused of any crime.
Mr Clarke wants to put under house arrest any people he considers a menace, be they Muslims, Irish or animal rights activists. He wants to ban them from using mobile phones and e-mail, and restrict their contact with others. He wants to tag and curfew at will. He offers a second appeal to a judge, but neither judge nor victim need be shown any evidence.
The Home Secretary is high on the drug of power and is losing his sense of right and wrong. Clarke says he will use his power “reasonably”. All authoritarians say that.
We cannot and must not allow this erosion of freedom and the right to be innocent till proven guilty
If a person is a suspect, then evidence should be produced and the suspect be charged and prosecuted. A court will then judge the validity of the evidence and impose the appropriate punishment.
Any foreign national thought to be a threat should be charged or repatriated to his/her country of ethnic origin.
We, the British citizens, MUST NOT stand by complacently while Clarke and Blair take our freedom and rights away, otherwise one freedom and right after another will be taken away from us until suddenly we have none left.
What next? Will Clarke and Blair introduce concentration camps for all those who oppose their views?
Clarke’s new title should be MINISTER OF FEAR.
Police Drivers Kill 30 People A Year.
The Daily Express has revealed that THIRTY people a year are killed by police patrol drivers. This total has trebled in six years.
No one underestimates the importance of catching criminals but it cannot be at the expense of innocent driver’s and pedestrian’s lives. No police chase is worth killing someone.
The Conservative Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis said that the extraordinary increase in civilian deaths is wholly unacceptable, especially when the vast majority occur when the police are not responding to an emergency.
David Davis went on to say “There is an obvious need for a serious review of the matter, and direct action is required to revise police training standards to bring the number down to an acceptable level”.
How many deaths would you, Mr Davis, suggest is an acceptable level? 1-2-3 ? How many should die before you think it is o.k?
Not only are there 30 killings by police drivers per year but there are 55 crashes EACH DAY involving police vehicles.
Police drivers should not be above the law, and should be prosecuted in the same way that civilian drivers are. The standard “DUTY” excuse is totally unacceptable.
A recent example of bad police driving took place in Norfolk when a police officer in pursuit of a red cavalier drove the WRONG way along the dual carriage way of the A47 and crashed into another vehicle seriously injuring it’s occupants and killing an unborn child,
No death is worth the gung-ho attitude that police officers so often adopt.
South Tyneside Police Lunacy .
Police spent £10,000 on a fixed wing spotter plane, a helicopter and patrol car, fitted with a video camera, in order to bring a nonsensical prosecution against a woman motorist for munching on an apple.
The woman concerned was driving in an area with no other traffic or pedestrians around.
No doubt the lady should not have been munching on her apple, but in the circumstances could not the police vehicle driver have just stopped the lady, used common sense, and given her a friendly warning?
We are sure that the taxpayers of South Tyneside are pleased to know that their tax contribution to their Police Authority has been wisely spent.

Three Years Jail Without Trial.
This government has kept a man called “ C “ in jail for 3 years on the grounds that he is a threat to national security. C has never been brought to trial, nor has any evidence been produced with which to charge him of any offense.
C has now been freed without charge, the Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, stating that the man is no longer a threat to national security.
This situation supports the idea of “ Blair’s Police State. “
Already animal activists are being targeted as candidates for imprisonment.
You may be next should you voice anti government opinions, or demonstrate for something you firmly believe in. Beware your turn will come.
Victory For Self Defense.
The Government has at long last made an attempt to clarify the law about self defense.
The Crown Prosecution Service has produced a document in an attempt to define “ Reasonable Force “ when defending yourself and family.
Under the heading, “ Does the law protect me? What is - reasonable force ? The document states.
“Anyone can use reasonable force to protect themselves or others, or carry out an arrest or to prevent crime. You are not expected to make fine judgements over the level of force you use in the heat of the moment. So long as you only do what you honestly and instinctively believe is necessary in the heat of the moment, that would be the strongest evidence of you acting lawfully and in self defense. This is still the case if you use something to hand as a weapon”.
The more extreme the circumstances and the fear felt, the more force you can lawfully use in self defense, even if you kill your attacker.
If you are in your own home and in fear for yourself or others, the law does not require you to wait to be attacked before using defensive force yourself.
After a long campaign by us, you, concerned citizens and the media, the government has at last tried to clarify what is meant by “ reasonable force “.
There is one area that still needs addressing. The Home Secretary has NOT made any statement about the attacker/burglar losing his/her right to sue you, the victim, in the event of the attacker/burglar being injured or killed.
We need to be sure that the criminal loses such rights whilst carrying out a criminal act.

Cambridge Police Inept.
Senior Cambridgeshire police officers involved in the Soham murder inquiry have been accused of ineptitude and inaction, in a document obtained under the freedom of information act.
The document, written by Detective Superintendent David Begg of Scotland Yard, showed that killer Ian Huntley was “officially eliminated” as a suspect six days into the investigation, and that senior officers allowed “fundamental lines of inquiry to go unnoticed”.
When Huntley re-emerged as the prime suspect, a request for a surveillance operation was NOT mounted because the surveillance team had “other commitments”.
Valuable evidence collected by officers on the ground and “high priority” leads were not acted upon for more than a week.
A request for extra officers to be deployed on the night Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman went missing from home was refused by Acting Superintendent David Beck, who led the inquiry.
The document stated that “Mr. Beck did not maintain control and knowledge of the overall strategic direction of the investigation”.
Ten days into the inquiry, Scotland Yard took over the investigation. Mr Beck was removed as senior officer. He was replaced by Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Stevenson of Scotland Yard. Huntley and his mistress, Maxine Carr were then quickly arrested.
The document added that when early reports that the girls had gone missing, were referred to senior Cambridge police management, the response was allowed to stagnate, allowing golden hours to slip by.
The document continues, “There appears to have been an inability to collate and capitalise on the facts available that allowed fundamental lines of inquiry to go unnoticed. Inability to appreciate the value of information available was due to the lack of experience and training leading to a poorly focused investigation”.
This document clearly illustrates the lack of expertise and managerial skill within the Cambridgeshire Police Force.
We have stated before that Cambridgeshire Police Chief, Tom Lloyd, should be sacked. He must accept full responsibility for his force’s lack of experience and poor training. Tom Lloyd has shown that he lacks leadership skills and managerial ability. He must GO.

Magistrates Free Killer Driver.
Killer driver Neil Honnor walked free from court, friday 11 Feb, despite taking two lives in horror smashes.
Outside the hearing he sparked fury by claiming: “You don’t know what I have been through.”
Liverpool magistrates heard that Honnor mowed down Andrew Moorcroft last year while driving with no licence.
In 1998 Honnor killed Geoffrey Balmer in a drink-drive, hit and run crash.
The magistrates apparently were powerless to jail Honnor. He escaped with a three-year driving ban and £400 fine.
So much for justice. The law need to be changed to a charge of “Killing while driving.”
When will this Government learn?

Another Drink Drive Killer
Recruitment consultant, Peter Crowther, was almost twice the drink driving limit when he crashed into a lorry and killed his passenger, 19 year old, Emma Ord.
Crowther who has a history of drink driving was sent to prison for 5 years. After good behaviour he will be free after serving less than 3 year jail time.
Justice HAS NOT been served. The law must be changed to killing whilst driving.

House Arrest without Trial.
The new legislation to allow British and foreign terrorist suspects to be detained without trial under house arrest was passed by the House of Commons yesterday.
This legislation is the greatest attack on the liberty of British people for 300 years.
The Bill removes the presumption of innocence of the accused and removes the right of the accused to see the evidence and charges against them.
The new legislation gives the Executive power that should be exercised by the Judiciary.
All suspects should be charged, evidence produced and a verdict rendered in court.
Speeding Police Officer Cripples A 12 Year Old Girl.
Sadie Stevens had her right leg amputated after being sent “spinning through the air in a cartwheel” when a car being driven by police officer James Hibbert in a bus lane struck her at a pedestrian crossing.
P.C. Hibbert, who holds an advanced driving licence, requested in court that his licence remain clean.
At Birmingham court, Judge David Stott had Hibbert’s licence endorsed and fined him £400. Judge Stott said that Hibbert was driving too fast and should have taken more care.
This is NOT justice. Once again the police get away with dangerous driving without any penalty. If a member of the public had carried out such a dreadful act, the police and the courts would have been more severe.
There is obviously one law for police officer who kill or wound, and another law for the rest of us.

Mental Patient Allowed Out To Kill.
Mentally ill, John Barrett, who admitted stabbing to death, Denis Finnegan, was allowed to walk free from South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
Barrett has a history of mental health problems for the last decade, and was allowed to walk out of hospital because of a WRONG assessment by a psychiatrist, with tragic consequences for Mr. Finnegan.
The hospital and the unnamed psychiatrist have a duty of care not only to their patients but more importantly to the public, to prevent wrong assessments and bad management practices.
The Zitto Trust called for an inquiry. Michael Howlett, it’s director, said “This case once again highlights MAJOR deficiencies in treating people who have already been assessed as a risk to others.”
The Chief Executive of Sane, Marjorie Wallace, estimates that about 40 killings a year are committed by people who are mentally ill.
The psychiatrist in question should be held personally responsible for allowing the death of victim Denis Finnegan.
How can the Public have faith in the psychiatric services when such errors of judgement are allowed to happen.
Denis was an innocent victim. There is no justice for him.

Woman Terrorised In Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge.
Terrified pensioner, victim Gladys Hainsworth, was viciously assaulted in her hospital bed by a patient with dementia.
Gladys was in a mixed sex ward when the assault took place. The dementia patient also shared the same ward.
The public needs to know how a patient who was violent and verbally abusive to both patients and staff was allowed to stay unsupervised in a room shared with three other patients.
Despite what happened, the violent dementia patient was brought back to the same ward where he was sedated.
Why was this allowed to happen, when it was well known to hospital staff that he was unstable through dementia and had a history of verbal abuse and physical violence.
The public has a need to feel confident in it’s health service hospitals, not be in fear of attack.
Not only did Addenbrooke’s hospital fail in it’s duty of care toward Gladys Hainsworth, but is still high up on the list of hospitals with major MRSA problems.
Killer Pleads Guilty And Receives Reduced Sentence.
Shaun Alexander admitted stabbing to death his victims, Nicola Johnson and Kevin Braid on Oct 10 last year.
Alexander was given a 17 years prison term by Judge Lady Smith at Edinburgh High Court.
Lady Smith told Alexander that had he not pleaded guilty, she would have imposed a 24 year prison term upon him.
Where is the logic in this? If an accused says “sorry” or pleads guilty, can they now expect a more lenient sentence?

Zambian-Born Drunk Driver Kills 12 Year Old Child.
Aaron Chisango, Zambian-born killer driver, who had drunk almost a litre of whisky, drove without a driving licence in his un-insured car, knocked down 12 year old Jamie Mason and killed him.
Chisango was sentenced to 2 months in prison by Wolverhampton magistrate Michael Ager.
What on earth does Ager think he is doing? His lenient message is a godsend to those who now think that it is O.K. TO DRINK-DRIVE AND KILL.
Jamie and his family have NOT seen justice done.
When will Prime Minister Tony Blair and his Government start taking law and order seriously? Blair and his cronies play lip service to the protection of our citizens instead of punishing criminals. Under Blair’s Government, the victims of crime stand no chance.
Speeding Lorry Driver Escapes Driving Ban.
Robert Cole, age 23, was clocked doing 66 mph in a 30 mph zone while driving his Ford Escort.
Cole, who already has 6 points on his licence, was given a further 6 points and a fine of £270, by J.P’s in Cromer, Norfolk.
Cole was NOT banned from driving because he would have lost his job driving “Kylie Minogue” on her European tour.
This is a disgrace. Any driver with 12 points on his/her licence should have an automatic driving ban. Working for Kylie Minogue is not an excuse.

Banned 71 Times-----Jailed For Just 4 Months.
Paul Heard with 71 driving convictions was jailed for 4 months last friday for driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Thetford court was told Heard had 253 previous convictions. These included 74 for theft and 18 for fraud.
Presiding magistrate Marian de Bass told Heard “ Our hands are tied. You will go to prison for 16 weeks.” The 6 months maximum sentence was cut by one third because Heard pleaded guilty.
Charity Roadpeace said “ He is a real danger to the public. This is an example where giving credit to a criminal for pleading guilty is a nonsense.”
The law needs changing so that the courts can hand down stiff sentences. In this case the punishment should be at least 5 years actual jail time.
Criminals such as Paul Heard should be taken off the road so as to protect the public.
Deadly H.G.V.’s Risking Lives.
Hundreds of potentially deadly lorries and trucks take to Britain’s roads every day, police have warned.
Safety is put at risk, where innocent victims are put at risk of being killed or maimed, by a large number of firms who are complacent toward vehicle maintenance, the Association of Police Officers said.
In a nationwide crackdown last month, police stopped 1800 H.G.V.’s. Almost half, that is 50% either had safety defects or drivers working over their safe hours limit.
These H.G.V’s and drivers are potential killers of innocent victims.
H.G.V. firms and owners with defective vehicles on the road should be prosecuted.
Drivers who drive over their legal hours should also be prosecuted.
In both cases, if found guilty, then stiff penalties should be handed down in the form of heavy fines and driving bans respectively.
Police Predators.
Police officers Mark Witcher and Andrew Lang were each given 15 months prison for misconduct after a sordid night of sex with a drunken assault victim.
The judge at Winchester crown court told Witcher and Lang “Members of the public, particularly those who are victims of crime, are entitled to put their trust in the police. What you did cannot be dismissed as a moment of madness.”
The prosecution should appeal because the sentences were too lenient.
If this is the standard of behaviour of serving police officers, then it can be no surprise that the public is losing faith in those who are paid to protect and serve us, the public.
15 months prison is NOT justice for the victim.
Kickbox killer.
Craig Swann, a martial arts fanatic, killed William Bird a grandfather and o.a.p, by striking him with a single punch.
Judge Thomas Crowther said at Bristol crown court, “There must be a sentence of imprisonment to appease the loss that Mr. Bird’s family have suffered.”
What sentence did Judge Crowther hand down to Swann?
Just two and a half years.
This sentence is outrageous. Swann should have been given life in prison.
By the nature of being an expert in martial arts, Swann was in possession of lethal weapons i.e his feet and hands. In using either of his physical weapons, Swann, a kickboxing thug murdered o.a.p. Mr. Bird.
There is NO justice here. The prosecution should appeal the sentence.
Don’t Put Women In Prison.
So says prison reformers, the “ Howard League for Penal Reform “.
WHY? Women commit crimes in the same way that men do. In these days of equality women should be treated in the same manner as men.
Women can and do, murder, drink drive and kill innocent victims, steal, assault and carry out criminal acts in the same way as men.
This would raise the question as to whether men’s human rights would be infringed if only men were sent to jail.
Health Service Clots.
Preventable blood clots kill more than 25,000 people a year despite being easily prevented by cheap drugs.
A report by the Commons Health Committee said that blood clots claim more lives than breast cancer, aids and traffic accidents put together.
Existing drugs could dramatically cut this death toll. Why are these existing drugs not prescribed?
What we have here are 25,000+ victims of health service non-action.

Cambridgeshire Selection Procedures.
Cambridgeshire County Council and the Cambridgeshire Police Force continue to make a mockery of correct recruitment and selection procedures.
There is a history of poor management and human resources procedures when choosing staff to work in positions of trust.
Starting with the notorious serial child offender, senior officer Keith Laverack through to Ian Huntley and now James Aldous employed as a school cleaner.
It is a cop out for Andrew Baxter, Director of Education to claim that checks were not made against police records because there was no requirement at the time of Aldous’ appoinment to carry out such checks.
We also have police officers and police civilian staff being accused of, and charged with offences ranging from theft, perjury, downloading child pornography to perverting the course of justice.
There can be no excuse for such blatant bad management practices. Have these organisations never heard of checking to see if an applicant has lied on his/her application form, taking up references and doing background checks?
The victims here are children and adult members of the public.
What Price A Soldier’s Life?
Compare the compensation paid to British Families with that of American Families of those Armed Forces Personnel killed defending their countries.
An American family receives £270,000 while British Families receive only a comparative pittance of £27,000. This is one tenth of the compensation given to U.S. victims.
This situation is typical of all British Governments who use British troops for their own political agenda, and then cast them off without financial recognition.
P.M. Tony Blair followed George Bush into Iraq without question. Blair should make sure that our forces are looked after in the same way as the Americans.
More Juvenile Crime.
Non swimmer David Berry age 16 was thrown off a bridge into a river to drown, by two drunken 17 year old yobs.
The 17 yr olds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were given 18 months and 8 months respectively by Mr. Justice Stuart McKinnon at Bournemouth Crown Court.
This is NOT justice. David lost his life and the killers get a slap on the wrist.
Girl Aged 13 Raped.
Daniel Collins-Frampton and Aaron Hull, high on drugs and drink raped a 13 year old girl and beat up her boy friend leaving him brain damaged.
Judge Graham Cottle sentenced both Collins-Frampton and Hull to serve a prison term of 4 years & 3 months before parole.
This is a very lenient punishment for such vicious crimes. Again a slap on the wrist. The young girl and her boyfriend will be scared for the rest of their lives.
Pure Evil.
A boy aged 12 years, again unnamed, with a history of being abused by his family, raped his teacher and stole her car which he then drove at over 100 mph down the A1.
The judge at Teesside Crown Court gave this monster a life sentence, describing him as “Pure Evil.”
We have shown cases where young criminals cannot be named for legal reasons. We would argue that this practice be abolished.
Juvenile Criminal Damage.
Vandalism, or to give it it’s proper name, criminal damage has hit the headlines again in the Eastern Counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk.
Thousands of pounds of damage has been caused to schools and play areas.
This damage is mostly caused by young children who are allowed by parents to roam at will, not knowing where their children are or what they are doing.
Who pays for this damage? Private citizens, The tax-payer (you & me) and insurance companies. All three are victims.
ALL children who cause criminal damage (vandalism), if found guilty, and their parents should be named in court. Parents should then be held accountable for the actions of their children and be made to pay financial compensation IN FULL to the victims of the criminal damage.

Cannibal Gets Life For Killings.
Peter Bryan, convicted killer who has spent considerable time in mental health hospitals, was freed in 2002 after applying to a health review tribunal. and allowed to live in the community as an out-patient ,only to kill again.
In february 2004 Bryan walked out of the mental health unit in Newham, east London and killed his friend Brian Cherry. In April last year he went on to kill Richard Loudwell.
It would appear that a secretive 19th century mental health tribunal system has been blamed for the release of Bryan.
It is NOT the system that is to blame, but the inability of individual so called experts who are to blame for releasing Bryan to kill again.
When will our health “experts” ever learn?
The victims here are Brian Cherry and Richard Loudwell, plus any other victim that a released mental patient might harm or kill.
Judge Giles Forrester, sentencing Bryan at the Old Bailey said the protection of the public was the most important factor and that life would mean life.
It is a pity that more judges do not adopt the same principle in protecting the public when sentencing all people who kill innocent victims.
Drink-Drive Met Police Officer Killer.
Julie Murray,40, of Swallow Road, Beds was over two times the drink drive limit when she killed 76 year old pensioner, Myrtle Day, after losing control of her car.
Murray pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
Judge Geoffrey Breen at Luton Crown Court sentenced Murray to 21 months prison.
Murray will be out after good behaviour in 12 months.
Why was a charge of dangerous driving not brought? Was it because she was a police officer?
The victim here is an old lady who should be enjoying the last years of her life, who should not have had her life ended by a drunken police officer.
This is yet another case of very a lenient jail sentence being handed down for a drink-drive killing. THE LAW MUST BE CHANGED TO “CAUSING DEATH WHILST DRIVING” This should equate to at least manslaughter, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Ships, tanks, arms and personnel are being scrapped early to save costs, but commitments have not reduced.

Hospital’s Deadly MRSA
An undercover investigation by a national newspaper has revealed a shocking catalogue of filth, dirt and deadly hygiene neglect.
London’s Middlesex Hospital was reported to be filthy, dirty and deadly.
The investigator discovered a shocking neglect of hygiene that allows the lethal superbug MRSA and other infections to sweep through wards.
1) A FILTHY wheelchair carrying patient after patient without being cleaned, even after an HIV case with weeping sores left body fluid on the chair.
2) BAGS of contaminated linen oozing body fluids on to the floor of a public lift where it was picked up on the shoes of staff.
3) DOCTORS, nurses, porters and cleaners failing to use disinfectant dispensers to clean their hands as they headed to the canteen.
4) BLOOD stained surgical gowns and soiled sheets rotting outside an entrance as rain washed contaminated fluids across the tarmac.
5) DIRTY surgical dressings and swabs left on the floor of a loo in a children’s ward and dirty linen dumped unbagged in a side room just a few feet from cancer-stricken children.
5) DESPERATELY ill patients being wheeled on a trolley which had the same blood-stained sheet that was used for more than 24 hours without being changed.
The number of people killed by MRSA is doubling every four years
How many more people need to die before the NHS cleans up its act?

IRA Terror War.
IRA killers are planning a new wave of terror on mainland Britain.
The failure of this Government to stamp out the terror campaign by Irish terrorists beggars belief. Tony Blair and his ministers let free from jail hundreds of IRA killers as part of the Good Friday agreement, but has made no concerted attempt to eradicate once and for all the terror that comes from those in the IRA and Sinn Fein, it’s political wing.
How many more victims must be killed or maimed before Blair and this Government take action to protect innocent people?
Judge Frees Pervert To Work With Children.

Is it any wonder that judges are held in contempt and that the courts are a laughing stock.
The judge is not a victim here, but children whom Gage will come into contact with, are.

MRSA Kills Two-Day Old Baby.
MRSA in Ipswich hospital has killed a two day old baby.
Six weeks after little Luke Day was killed in Ipswich hospital by the super bug, MRSA, a Sunday Mirror investigation at the same hospital uncovered levels six times higher than acceptable limits.
There should be NO acceptable limits. The limit should be ZERO.
The investigator collected 15 swabs, 9 of which contained MRSA bacteria. High levels were found on ward doors, in corridors, on patient’s toilets and telephones.
A spokesman for Ipswich hospital said, “You can’t physically go round and clean every door handle every time someone touches it.”
WHY NOT?
It has emerged that a doctor or nurse carrying the MRSA bug was the most likely source that killed baby Luke.
Hygiene Not Only Key To Fighting MRSA
In a letter to the Times Newspaper Dr. Norman A Simmons and others, stated that hygiene alone is not enough to combat MRSA. Their statement is supported in a report by Brown and Cumberland, who state that,
1) Effective decontamination of hands after EVERY patient contact is NOT performed adequately or often enough.
2) Overall hygiene in hospital wards is poor.
3) Patients and carriers should be isolated.
4) Every hospital should have isolation units.
5) Patients should stay in the ward to which they are admitted until they are discharged, and not moved from bed to bed and ward to ward during their stay.
6) A single medical or surgical team should have all it’s patients under it’s care and be fully accountable from admission to discharge.
These measures must be given top priority irrespective of the cost in money terms.
Hospital Chiefs Face MRSA Death Charges.
The Health Secretary, John Reid is planning to charge hospital chiefs with corporate manslaughter if poor hygiene standards result in patient deaths from MRSA.
We wait to see if this statement is just words or if the courts will actually punish those who have ultimate responsibility for the safety and care of patients.
Bede’s View Care Home Sadists Jailed.
A sadistic gang of care workers led by Jacqueline Hewitt turned Bede’s View care home into a hellhole
Hewitt and six other staff members,
Forced a woman to eat her food on the floor like a dog.
Rubbed a man’s face in his urine.
Kicked, slapped and bullied the terrified residents.
Developed a painful nipping technique which left no marks.
The terrified patients were unable to speak. They have a mental age of between six months and two years
Judge Roger Thorn at Hull crown court sentenced Hewitt and her gang to prison for terms of between 3 and 12 MONTHS.
What sort of punishments are these? The patients have been through hell for the last 4 YEARS. Hewitt and her crew get a slap on the wrist. They should also have been given 4 years in jail, serving the full time.
The above story clearly shows how victims are ignored by the courts.
£196,000 Paid To The Yorkshire Ripper.
Yorkshire ripper, Peter Sutcliffe has won £196,000 for losing an eye during an attack in Broadmoor.
Compare this award to the paltry sums paid to Sutcliffe’s victims.
Maureen, left for dead after a frenzied hammer attack was awarded £8,500. Irene was awarded £6,722 after he murdered her daughter.
These ladies are just two examples of how the treatment of victims differs from that of the criminal.
No wonder the public has no faith in so called British justice.
The victims are at the bottom of the pile when it comes to justice.

British Justice Gone Mad.
A Mum who fired an air pistol into the ground after being plagued by yobs was jailed for six months tue 29 mar, by Manchester Crown Court Recorder, Louis Browne.
Teacher Linda Walker, endured months of harassment and vandalism, having wing mirrors smashed off her car, bikes stolen, garden ornaments thrown over her wall & smashed, fish from her pond stolen and her front door kicked in.
Two members of the yob gang have criminal records for burglary and shoplifting yet neither has served custodial sentences.
The police did nothing in the past to help Linda. They claimed that they were busy elsewhere.
Ex-Home Office minister Ann Widdecombe said this case “Sums up everything which is wrong in modern Britain”.
Linda’s Tory MP added “The thugs get away with it completely and no one has taken any action against them. But as soon as an ordinary law-abiding citizen is driven to take the law into her own hands, the full weight of the law is brought to bear. Where were the police when this poor lady was going through hell?”
Linda’s life is now in ruins, possibly facing the sack from her job, while those yobs walk free.
The gangs of yobs in Manchester should be dealt with and victims protected, not penalized. People feel intimidated and frustrated that there is no police presence and that the criminals are not jailed.
What does this say about the British justice system when an innocent victim is forced to take action to protect herself and her property?
Pervert Jonathan King Walks Free.
Sex pervert Jonathan King walked free yesterday after serving less than HALF his seven year jail sentence for abusing five youths who were aged between 14 and 15 years old.
One of his victims said “I feel utterly sick at the thought that he ( KING ) might continue abusing young boys. Paedophilia is a pattern and people keep returning to it.”
Taxpayers have paid £80,000 to keep King in prison and have paid £157,000 in payouts to his victims.
King, who has a £1,000,000 home in Bayswater, West London and a Rolls-Royce car should be made to reimburse the total cost of his perverted activities to the taxpayer.
This whole episode is a travesty of justice.

Stand Your Ground Bill Passed In U.S.A.
Florida, U.S.A. House of Representatives, voted 94-20 to expand court rulings that allow people to use deadly force in their homes to protect themselves without first trying to escape.
The new “ Stand Your Ground “ bill passed by the Senate on a 39-0 vote allows citizens to use deadly force in a public place if they have reasonable belief they are in danger of death or great harm.
The U.S.A. recognizes that a citizen who is a potential victim has the inalienable right to self defense even if it brings about death to their criminal attacker.
U.K. citizens should have the same right. The British Government must afford British citizens the right to self defense and NOT criminalize the victims.
Addenbrooke’s Cambridge Hospital Blunder.
Surgeons at Addenbrooke’s Hospital operated on a patient with instruments which had NOT been sterilised.
Victim, Jane Waller, 51, is anxiously awaiting the results of HIV and hepatitis tests after the blunder at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
A spokeswoman for Addenbrooke’s Hospital apologised and said the hospital would learn from the mistake.
This is not good enough. Addenbrooke’s has a history of mistakes and should have learned by now to keep it’s patients safe.
Addenbrooke’s is still high on the list of hospitals with MRSA problems.
Jane’s surgeon and nursing staff involved in her operation should be held to account for negligence.
Can we really trust Addenbrooke’s Hospital with our lives?

Cambridgeshire Hospital Infected Patients.
Thirty six Cambridgeshire women patients may have contracted HEPATITIS C after a gynaecologist was diagnosed with the virus.
Peterborough & Stamford hospital says the doctor, who has NOT been named, worked at the hospital between June & August 1997.
Where is that doctor now?
Why has that doctor not been named?
There is a clear case for ALL medical doctors, nurses and those who physically touch and handle patients, to be checked on a regular basis for such diseases as hepatitis, aids and others that can be passed to a patient through contact.
Not only do we have hospitals infected with MRSA but many infected doctors & nurses who should NOT be working with patients.
All patients who suffer in this way are VICTIMS of Gov’t inaction.

Violent Crime Soars----Police Gagged.
Once again violent crime has risen by 9%, to over 295,400 crimes during the period--last three months 2004.
Sexual offences were up 18%.
Gun crime using illegally held firearms increased by 10%.
Since 1997, when this Government took office there has been a massive increase in crime against the person.
We place the blame for this squarely at Mr. Blair and his Government. In 1997 Blair banned the private possession of handguns for sporting purposes, claiming that the removal of such guns from law abiding citizens who were only interested in the sport of range shooting, would take all handguns off the street.
How wrong he has been proven. Gun crime and violent crime together have risen some 183% since 1997.
Add to this Blair still refuses to give the British Public the right of self defense. Any person who defends him/her self is seen as a criminal.
Blair has gagged Police Chiefs from commenting on the latest massive rise in violent crime. Maybe he(Blair) is afraid that the truth will out and that his policies on fighting crime are not worth the paper they are written.
Victims must fight back. The Gov’t, Police and the Courts will not help us.

Criminals Freed From Jail Early.
Thousands of criminals including burglars and thieves will serve less time in prison under new guidelines that urge courts to cut jail terms by 15%.
The guidance issued by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf, led to accusations that the public was being deceived by the Government and the legal establishment.
Norman Brennan, director of the Victims of Crime Trust, said “Prison works, and while inside criminals cannot be in the bar or club planning their next burglary.”
In september 2004 Lord Wolf said that murders who plea bargain and admit guilt should receive 1/3 OFF their sentence.
In january 2005 Lord woolf told judges not to jail criminals if prisons are full.
What planet does the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf live on?
Prison terms are meant to punish criminals and keep them off the streets.
Punishment should fit the crime. A slap on the wrist does not.

Banned Driver Beats Jail.
Gary Philpott, with five drink-drive convictions and a further 23 convictions for ignoring road bans, escaped prison for his latest offence
Magistrates at Swindon Court imposed a rehabilitation order and 100 hours community service on Philpott after he was court for the 24th time driving while banned, just eight months after leaving prison for being drunk at the wheel.
The AA said offenders such as Philpott were “habitual criminals” and should be dealt with much more severely.
We agree with this assessment. Philpott should have been sent to prison for a minimum 5 year term.
Sex Fiend Jailed For 30 Years.
Evil sex fiend Philip Powell aged 43 raped and strangled a pregnant 14 year old girl, last Boxing Night, after forcing her to strip in a freezing cemetery.
Stafford Crown Court heard that Powell had a history of sexual perversion and jailed him for 30 years.
Let us hope that Powell will serve his full term, and not one third. Remember the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf is in favour of lenient sentences and early release.
Laughing Teenagers Set Fire To Sleeping Man.
Two teenagers, Benjamin Mortenson and David Smolinski, both aged 18 years attacked Matthew Kitchen, 41, in a bus shelter setting fire to him as he slept.
Mortenson and Smolinski used their mobile phone to film their sadistic and vindictive act, laughing and joking while Matthew suffered 20% burns. Matthew is in constant pain after spending a long period in hospital, much of that in intensive care. He is now permanently impaired and scarred.
Judge Robert Warnock at Bolton Crown Court sentenced Mortenson and Smolinski to 6 years and six months in a young offenders’ institution.
Judge Warnock said, “No right thinking person could be anything but horrified by what you have done. For your own perverted enjoyment, you set fire to another human being.”
Warnock should have sent these two evil criminals to prison for a minimum of ten years with no parole.
Justice for Matthew Kitchen has NOT been served.

Pervert Given Four Months.
Alcoholic sex pervert Geoffrey Stimson was jailed for 4 months at Cambridge Crown Court by Judge Justice Hughes for abusing schoolgirls in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
Judge Hughes said that he took into account Stimson’s guilty plea but had to consider if he would commit a similar offence again. Hughes then sentenced Stimson to 4 months prison, of which he must serve half his term.
We agree with the Director of child charity Kidscape when she said that the sentence of 4 months, especially when Stimson will be out in 2 months, is“appalling.”
Judge Hughes must have been listening to Lord Woolf who advocates lenient sentencing.
Killer’s Sentence Reduced by 50%.
Andrew Roberts who killed innocent victim, Kenneth Sutherland, by felling him with a ferocious single blow, had his 5 year prison sentence reduced to 30 months on appeal by Mr. Justice Gross.
Justice Gross said it was clear the attack was “gratuitous and unprovoked” and that Roberts had used considerable force.
Allowing this appeal give the lie to the Justice’s words.
Again Lord Woolf’s influence is being felt. Lenient sentences handed down and no thought to the victim.

159 MPH Police Officer Not Punished.
Police Officer Mark Milton drove at 159 mph on the M54 and at speeds of 120 mph in a 60 mph zone and more than 60 mph in a 30 mph zone Ludlow magistrates court heard.
Pc Milton’s excuse was that he needed to practice speeding in the new, unmarked patrol car and that police trainers encouraged officers to TOP 145 mph.
District Judge Bruce Morgan cleared Pc Milton of speeding and dangerous driving.
Once again we have one set of rules for the police and one set for the general public. The Crown Prosecution Service should launch an appeal and demand a prison sentence plus 10 year ban for Pc Mark Milton.
Police kill 30 people each year in high speed chases and recently Pc Hibbert crippled a 12 year old girl while speeding in a bus lane.
Police appear to be able to kill innocent citizens, either by shooting unarmed people or using police vehicles “in the line of duty.”
No wonder the police and the court system are held in such contempt.

90 MPH Cop Freed As Evidence Went Missing.
Pc Daniel Swain was accused of dangerous driving when his Astra driven at 90 mph hit another car before hurtling through the front of a nearby house.
Judge Glancy ruled there was no case to answer because a data recorder, which stored the car’s speed, was no “longer in existence” even though it should have been kept by the police.
The Derbyshire police did not keep the Astra’s recorder, so there was no way to check the evidence.
Normally the house and car would have been cordoned off pending an investigation, but in this case the vehicle was removed from the scene within a half-an-hour.
Again police drivers are above the law.
Police Speeders Escape Camera Traps 59 Times.
Fifty nine police cars were caught speeding in one county, Derbyshire, last year but not a single driver was fined or received penalty points.
Not one of these police drivers, caught on camers was using emergency flashing blue lights
The Derbyshire police in each case ripped up the speeding tickets of their officers.
There is obviously one law for the police and one for civilian members of the public.
This situation can only further damage the fragile relationship between the police and the general public.
The British Police are not, or should not, be above the law.
The courts need to crack down on police drivers who flout laws that we the public are expected to obey.

Ratface Paedo Goes Free.
Justice Sean Overend freed paedophile John Brewer on licence at Plymouth Crown Court, even though he had been convicted of possessing internet child pornographic photographs.
Brewer faced 10 years prison, but received only seven months custody with an extra five years if he re-offends, but because of the time spent on remand, Brewer was set free, even though he has a history of child sex offences.
Justice Overend let Brewer free despite saying “You have all the hallmarks of a long-term paedophile. You are a danger to pre-pubescent females.”
This sentence sends out the wrong message with little hope for the protection of future victims.
Why are British courts so lenient when sentencing criminals?
Immigrant Sex Beast.
Evil Greek Cypriot Petros Anthia was given ten life sentences for a string of horrofic attacks on women.
Shockingly Anthia was able to carry out his reign of terror in Britain despite an appalling record of sex convictions in his homeland.
At least some justice has been carried out. Judge John Bevan ordered that Anthia be given ten life terms and that he should serve at least 25 years behind bars and should not be released until he is infirm.
Why was this sex beast Anthia ever allowed into Britain? The Home Secretary has a lot to answer for.
Scream Rape Trio Jailed.
A gang of rapists who burst into a flat wearing Scream masks and attacked two women were jailed for their crimes.
Judge Alan Wilkie at Chelmsford Crown Court said that the gang chose “vulnerable and isolated” victims and “maximised the terrorising effect” by wearing horror masks and brandishing a gun and knives.
The three rapists were given their sentences and ordered to be deported on their release.
Van Dong Vu - 9 years jail.
Hoang Le - 7 years jail.
Hung Nguyen - 6 years jail. Nguyen is HIV positive.
Government Crime Reduction Schemes Not Working.
The Public Accounts Commitee said that more than half the Government’s flagship crime reduction schemes have failed to reduce the number of offences.
Over £1bn has been spent on Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships since 1999 with a 52% failure rate in reducing crime.
The Committee said that resources were tied up with administration and not producing results.
The money would better be spent on more police officers and prisons.

Massive Rise In Police Collision Casualties.
The number of people killed or injured involving police car drivers increased by 60% in the year to April 2004.
There were over 2000 casualties, a 700 increase on the previous year with 31 people killed.
The police in this country are getting away with what is tantamount to dangerous driving and excessive road speed.
All those injured and killed as a result of poor police driving are innocent victims.
ALL police officers should be charged with dangerous driving in such circumstances as would civilians in similar circumstances.
Police excuses that they were operating in emergency situations should NOT be accepted as an excuse.
Castrate Rapists.
Italian M.P.’s are calling for the castration of rapists following an increase in sex offences by East Europeans entering their country.
Maybe, we in Britain, should follow their lead and also include paedophiles.
This would be a strong deterrent for those sexual deviants who overpower women and young children and carry out horrendous sex assaults.
It won’t happen because there are too many liberal do-gooders and soft judges.
Victims in Britain count for nothing.
Death Driver’s Appeal Dismissed.
Killer driver Darren Isaacson has been refused the chance to appeal against his convictions.
Isaacson was sentenced to 7 years prison for killing three teenagers whilst he was driving his Vauxhall Cavalier. See our story in our Archives 03 Dec 2004.
A judge at the Royal Court of Justice in London has dismissed Isaacson’s attempt for appeal before it even reached the board of appeal.
Isaacson was convicted at his trial and jailed for seven years, to run concurrently, for each death. His prison terms should have run consecutively, which would mean that his prison term would have been 21 years.
7 years for three killings is NOT justice. However it is good that his appeal was turned down.
Britain’s Yob Culture.
A father of four was beaten to death by teenagers because he could not offer a light for a cigarette.
A barrister was beaten senseless by a gang of nine teenagers and left in a coma.
A heavily pregnant woman on crutches was beaten by muggers who stole her handbag and £100.
Yobs who targeted a man by repeatedly causing criminal damage to his property were responsible for his collapse and death.
Parents Of Yobs Let Them Run Riot.
Parents of teenagers who let them run riot should be prosecuted for the actions of their offspring yobs. It is obvious that the parents of these young criminals lack both intelligence and parental ability and adopt a could-not-care-less attitude. These parents are more interested in pleasing themselves rather than teaching their children social graces, social values and respect for others.
Yob Costs Up 29 Per Cent.
The cost of Britain’s spiralling yob culture has soared by 29% in just three months.
The Government’s bid to tackle this out of control behaviour by issuing Anti-Social Behaviour Orders lacks credibility.
Between April 1999 and September 2004 there were 3,826 Asbos issued.
Some 42% of these orders were breached indicating that they are nothing but a waste of time.
There should be stiff punishments handed out to young criminals.
Prison terms in a young offenders institution ensuring that the time spent involves activities that are a punishment. A military Boot-Camp environment.
Herr Blair’s Police State.
Blair wants us all to have I.D. cards.
I.D. cards will contain ALL your personal information. Name, address, date of birth, place of birth, past criminal records, medical records, fingerprints, facial scan, iris scan, plus other information Blair thinks the State needs.
This information will be sold to private companies to help pay for the cost of setting up this scheme.
Blair wants us to have spy boxes fitted to our cars.
These boxes will show the car driver’s road speed, location, journey start point, journey end point, vehicle type, registration, road fund licence, insurance details and driver licence details.
Blair wants us to have a centralised medical database.
Health records on a central computer risk exposing millions of people to data theft and will be a greater infringement of personal freedom than I.D. cards.
Any Government department will be able to gain access to information held in all three areas, I.D. cards, Vehicle black boxes and Central medical records.
Big brother IS here. Add to this situation the fact that the police in this country can shoot unarmed civilians with impunity, drive at speeds well in excess of the legal road limit and not be prosecuted.
We the citizens are victims of Big Brother Blair’s Police State. Remember what happened in Germany under Herr Hitler and in the U.S.S.R. under Stalin. The same thing can happen here under Blair.

Rivers Of Blood.
In April 1968, Mr. Enoch Powell M.P. made his famous speech in which he stated that our nation was “busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”
He was making reference to the then Government’s policy of unlimited immigration of non-white people.
In a reference to the Race Relations Bill of that time, he said that enactment was “to risk throwing a match onto gunpowder.”
Mr. Powell made a forecast that by the year 2000 there would be 7,000,000 equal to 10% of non white people living in this country. His solution was to stop the inflow and to promote the maximum outflow.
Over the years each successive Government has allowed immigration to take place, some of it justified.
However during the last 10 years of Tony Blair’s reign, we have seen a massive rise in crime. Black on black, drug distribution, gun crime and now islamic fundamentalists who kill and maim at will, as shown by the recent London bombings.
Recent figures for the year show that there 570,000 ILLEGAL immigrants. The Home Office admits that it does not know the precise figure.
How many of these illegal immigrants are islamic extremists? The Government does not know that either.
Blair wants to force I.D. cards upon us. I.D. cards would not have prevented the London bombings.
The Islamic community must shoulder a lot of the blame for fundamentalist extremism. Their community must know which of their members are likely to become suicide bombers and who follow the path of evil.
Islamic cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed stated that he will never co-operate with the police and blames Britain for the London bombs which killed 52 innocent people.
We have written about Omar Bakri before and reported his views.
Blair and his Government talk about the problem, but do nothing. Even the intelligence service got it wrong and stated that Britain was not under threat.
Was Enoch Powell right? Maybe.
Violent Crime Up Again.
Violent crime against the person is UP 8% according to the latest figures, based on reported crime.
When will Blair and his Government pass legislation allowing citizens the right to defend themselves against personal attack by using defensive devices?
At the moment, if we defend ourselves by using a defensive weapon, even if it is only a pepper spray, the police and the courts will treat us--the victim--as a criminal.
The police are allowed to use truncheons, batons, gas sprays and taser guns to defend themselves.
Why is there one law for the police and a different law for the private citizen?

The Government under Tony Blair must accept a lot of the blame because of their SOFT approach to crime.
Major Drug Bust.

.Blair Terror Purge Fails.
Blair has failed to boot out one single preacher of hate, while the rest of Europe wages all-out war on ranting imams.
After the London bombings on july 7th 2005, Blair pledged a crackdown on radical clerics and action “in the next few days.”
Blair has NOT deported one hate crusader, while Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Holland have kicked out dozens of Islamic extremists.
Blair allows extremists to stay in Britain if they lodge appeals while other countries kick them out first, forcing them to argue their case from abroad.
Britain’s Back Door Open To Terrorists & Illegals.
Thousands of illegal immigrants and potential terrorists are pouring into Britain using a backdoor route, making a mockery of new anti-terrorist measures brought in since the july 7 suicide bombings.
Illegals pass through passport control in Dublin without needing a pre-entry visa, then cross into Northern Ireland by bus, catch a ferry to Scotland, and travel to London totally unchallenged.
There are no border checks between the Republic and Northern Ireland, which were relaxed during the peace process to end terrorism in Ulster. BUT this means that Al-Qaida extremists can enter the U.K. with ease
A driver from coach firm Airbus said “ We call it the immigrant express. We’ve warned the authorities but they do nothing.”
DOES BLAIR INTEND TO SAFEGUARD OUR BORDERS OR NOT?
Yobs Break Tot’s Nose.
Two youths aged 14 & 15 tipped over a pushchair causing 18 month old Luke Green and 7 month old Joshua to land face down on a concrete paving.
Both tot’s were injured, one sustaining a broken nose.
Telford police said they were too busy to attend the scene.
Why were the police not interested?
What kind of parents raise their children to behave in this manner?
30 Months For Killer.
Gary Roper, aged 18 yrs was found guilty at the Old Bailey of the manslaughter of Triston Christmas also aged 18 yrs.
Judge Anthony Morris said “ This killing was gratuitous, unprovoked and premeditated.”
Judge Morris sentenced Roper to 30 months in prison and said that Roper must serve at least 15 months.
If this killing was “gratuitous, unprovoked and premeditated” , why was Roper not sent to prison for life?
Again a judge has sent out the wrong message. Justice has NOT been served.

Police Incompetence Blamed For Dunblane Killings.
Secret files, obtained under the freedom of information act, reveal a catalogue of incompetence by the Strathclyde Police and the prosecution service.
Police did not carry out routine checks on two decades of criminal intelligence about Thomas Hamiliton which could have prevented the Dunblane massacre.
The secret files released on october 03 2005 reveal numerous criminal allegations were held on file against Hamilton, the man responsible for killing 16 children and a teacher, but the police FAILED to revoke his firearms certificate.
The criminal allegations included child abuse and inpropriety with guns dated back to the early 1970s. These were not checked when Hamilton applied for his firearms certificate to be renewed.
The files further show that earlier intelligence and “pertinent details” on these allegations were later removed from police files.
Contrary to firearms policy at the time, police routinely FAILED to check Hamilton’s membership of gun clubs and his attendance records.
The failure of the police to revoke Hamilton’s firearms certificate allowed the Dunblane killings to take place. The police are responsible for this massacre.
Tony Blair and his Government in a knee-jerk reaction passed the unjust 1997 act which banned all privately owned handguns held by law abiding citizens who used their weapons on Home Office approved shooting ranges as part of a recognised, well disciplined sport.
Blair penalised thousands of sports people by introducing that ban, instead of carrying out a thorough investigation into the Strathclyde police failures.
Blair’s reasoning was this ban would remove all handguns from the streets. He was told by people who understood the subject, that his action would not work and that only the criminals would posses handguns, therefore his claim to remove all handguns from the streets would be false.

Yobs Aim Pistol At Monk
Peace loving Brother Michael Day took photographs of yobs who subjected him to months of hell in order to provide evidence to the police.
Brother Michael later found HIMSELF being investigated by the police and threatened with eviction from his council home because he had infringed the thugs’ rights by taking photographs without asking their permission.
Despite giving Brother Michael a severe warning for “intimidating behaviour”, the police have done nothing to stop the gang of young thugs.
Justice? We don’t think so.
Two Years For Killing Aimee.
Unmarried mother, Claire Carey, 18, and two other girls aged 17 and 15 were each given two years youth detention for the drunken attack and killing of 15 year old Aimee.
The three girls were found guilty of manslaughter at an earlier hearing.
What price is life in our society? All these thugs who killed innocent victim, Aimee, should have been locked up for at least 10 years.
Mr. Justice Field, at Leeds crown court said that Carey, who had a previous conviction for assault was a dangerous offender. He told the other two girls that they would be released after a year.
Again justice has not been served.
Classroom Assault.
Shanni Naylor age 12 was repeatedly attacked by another 12 year old girl who used a sharp bladed weapon resulting in 4 cuts to her face which needed plastic surgery. Doctors fear that Shanni could be scarred for life and could have been blinded.
The attack took place in a classroom in Sheffield’s Myrtle Springs school.
Why are children allowed to take weapons to school?
Why did the parent(s) of the 12 yr old attacker allow their daughter to possess such a weapon?
Killer Cops Go Free.
The two police officers, Chief Inspector Neil Sharman and Pc Kevin Fagan have walked free after shooting an unarmed man.
Harry Stanley was shot dead by the two police officers when they thought the table leg carried by Harry, a carpenter, was a gun.
The C.P.S. said that it was arguable that the police haste and lack of planning led them to breach their duty of care and that forensic evidence which may have gone some way towards showing the officers may have lied is now insufficiently persuasive when the police that they were acting in self defence.
Justice has NOT been served. Both officers should have been charged with murder or at least manslaughter.
This is clearly a whitewash.
Both these police officers should be immediately taken off firearms duty on a permanent basis.
ALL POLICE OFFICERS who use firearms in the course of their duties should be retrained and learn to tell the difference between furniture and firearms.

Blair’s Hate Ban Fails
Four months ago, Tony Blair promised to clamp down on preachers of hate.
Yet still to-day Islamic extremists are targeting British Muslims with violent Al-Qaeda propaganda
London based foreign extremists, Muhammad al-Massari and Saad al-Fagih are allowing their websites to be used by terrorist groups.
Radical group Hizb ut-Tahrir and the offshoots of Al-Muhajiroun are still active and continue to incite hatred.
A new group-Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah (ASWA) is headed by Anjem Choudary, who at a press conference mocked Blair’s efforts to ban them.
Blair and his Government should NEVER have allowed these radicals into our country.
It is time to act in the same way as France has done. Round up ALL Muslims with even the remotest link to extremism and send them back to their ethnic country of origin.
Government Bungle Frees Al-Qaeda Suspect
Farj Hassan Faraj should have been extradited to Italy for his part in plotting bomb attacks in Europe.
Thr Home Secretary, Charles Clarke is under scrutiny after Judges ordered that Faraj be extradited, but because of the appeals system, time has run out.
This Government blunder has made a mockery of Blair’s war on terror and has placed many lives at risk.
Terrorists such as Faraj, Rachid Ramda and Moutaz Almallah Dabas, all wanted by countries in Europe should be extradited without delay and NOT be allowed to appeal. Such appeals are an abuse of the Human Rights Legislation.
No Change On Tackling Burglars.
Charles Clarke, The Home Secretary, refused to consider a change to the law by giving house occupiers greater protection should they protect themselves against violent intruders.
Clarke claims that the term “reasonable force “ does not need to be changed.
We support Anne McIntosh M.P. with her Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, which would give householders and shopkeepers the legal right to use all but “grossly disproportionate” force against an intruder
Blair and Clarke MUST give support to victims and allow all citizens the legal right to self defence by any means available.
Lord Chief Justice Says Cut Sentences.
Muggers will serve less time in jail under new guide lines to be issued to judges and magistrates by Lord Phillips, the Lord Chief Justice.
Phillips appears to follow the former Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf’s wooly minded approach to punishing criminals.
When will this Government ever learn that crime must NOT pay and that criminals should be taken of the streets and sent to jail for long prison terms.
When criminals are in jail, they are not hurting innocent people.
A reminder to Blair and Clarke. Between April and June 2005 there were 318,000 violent crimes in England and Wales--a 6% increase in the same period 2004.
This means that there were 318,000 inocent victims.
Rise In Gun Crime
Since 1997 when the legal possession of handguns for sporting purposes ban took effect, gun crime has risen from 4,903 offences to 11,160 this year.
This is a massive increase in the use of illegal guns, which makes a mockery of Tony Blair’s claim that he had taken all guns off the street.
It is estimated that there are 300,000 ILLEGAL guns in circulation.
Even the most clueless Labour politician can work out that the 1997 handgun ban has FAILED.
This ban should be repeal.
