So How Was Your Day?

My mother in law isn’t in the best physical shape anymore. She’s old and ailing, and has been pretty much bed ridden for the past several months from a back injury. She finally seems to be healing, and wanted a walker to help her get around her house. She’d been using two little canes, the “stable” kind with the plate on the bottom that has 4 feet on it, but things were still quite wobbly, so a walker it was. But not just any walker, she wanted one with wheels on, and that kind is called a rollator. News to me. Naturally, being my mother in law, any old rollator wasn’t good enough. She’s short and heavy, so she needed the special kind built for people of her dimension. Hard to find. Oh, and it had to have a backrest, and a seat, a padded seat that is, extra wide. And it had to have a basket, thank you very much, or else it was no good. Oh, and exceptionally low handles, because the MIL is the size of a hobbit.

So we looked online, and went through dozens of different models. Hundreds? I’d never given these things a thought, and was rather surprised to find that there are hundreds of different models out there, in all sizes and materials, in a wide price range from “not bad” to “you’ve got to be kidding”. And good luck to you finding the useful specifications, such as seat size, seat height, and handle height range. They all look pretty much like this:

So we finally located one, and it turned out to be the least expensive model out there, and we could have even ordered it from Wal-mart. The box got shipped, she opened the carton, and without even putting the thing together we heard a solid week of phone calls telling us how no good it was. Gosh, so glad we spent hours and hours shopping online for you. We would have gone down there and put it together for her right away, but with work schedules and the snowstorm ... you know how it goes.

I was in the area yesterday morning so I stopped over and put it together, which was beyond simplicity itself. Take off the plastic wrapping, unfold it, and slide the handles into the frame. Turn 2 big knobs to tighten the handles. Done. 1 minute, no muscle required. And from her perspective sitting on the couch, it was still no good. The seat was too tall, her legs would dangle. The handles were too high, she couldn’t reach. Now, my MIL and I have a bit of an understanding, arrived at after all the projects I’ve done at her place over the years. The kind of crap she pulls on her daughters just doesn’t fly with me, and I’m not going to put up with her crybaby BS. I accept that there are many things she can’t do, and that’s fine, but I do expect her to at least give it a fair go. So I had her get up and give the thing a try. And after about 20 seconds of trepidation she was in love with her new gizmo, positively zooming around the house, doing donuts and K turns all over the place. It turned out that the handle height she’d been using with her canes was too low, and the slightly higher height on the rollator handles allowed her a better stance. And the high seat worked in her favor, allowing for a shorter drop to a sitting position so sitting down was easy, and which nearly stood her upright when she slid off the seat to stand up. And the higher seat lets her park the walker by the stove and she can cook sitting down. Given that little epiphany, I sawed off 4 little chunks of a 2x4 and slid them under the feet of her very low bed, and now it’s much easier for her to get in and out of that as well. And she’s zooming around the house like a kid on a sugar high at the country fair. Woo hoo!

While I was down in the basement cutting the lumber with the only saw in her house - a joke of a tool, a plastic mini saw from the $1 store - I found the big monkey wrench. Finally! See, she lives in an old one floor house, and the P-trap for the bathtub is in the basement, and her pipes have been terribly clogged for a long time now. The monkey wrench let me open the clean out tap on the old rotting iron P-trap and use a wire to try and clean out some of the gunk. It didn’t work, so I decided to take the thing apart. Like everything else in her home, which is one of what I call an “I built it” home, handmade by somebody with no idea how to do anything, her plumbing is a nightmare. So the 1 1/2” thin wall brass drain in the bathtub mates up to a few lengths of various diameter PVC downpipe, which has a rubber collar on the end to mate to the old 2” galvanized P trap, which in turn feeds into the 2” hub on the sanitary tee on the main stack. The whole thing dangles 4 or 5 feet from the bathtub up above. Hey, the rubber collar used to be held in place with twisted bailing wire. At least I got some good radiator clamps on it a few years ago.

What on earth is a sanitary tee? This is:

I didn’t know beans about pipe, so I learned a little, and found a whole new vocabulary of terms that only plumbers know. Pipe terms, not swear words. The sewer line in your house has a vertical part. This is called the stack. It is usually made up of many pieces of cast iron pipe, stacked together. Duh. The top end of the stack is open to the air, sticks through your roof, and is called a soil vent. It lets smell out and air in, so that no suction builds up in the pipe and things keep moving along. The bottom end of the pipe, the horizontal bit that runs out the side of your basement wall, is the sewer line proper, and is joined to the stack with a corner pipe called an elbow that has a removable plate on the side called a clean out. This is where the Roto-Rooter guy goes to do his thing when the line gets clogged. One end of each pipe piece is flared out to accept the next piece of pipe, and that flare is called a hub. The other end, unflared, is called the spigot. Spigots fit into hubs, and with the aid of poured lead and oakum are joined together permanently in a watertight manner. When side pipes - drain lines for tubs and sinks etc - have to join the stack they do so via a special pipe called a sanitary. There are sanitary tees, crosses, double tees, and so forth; a whole menagerie of interesting and unusual shapes. But they’re all called sanitary because the secondary pipes join in through a specially shaped corner bend, which is designed to minimize siphoning. That design keeps the poop in the line from being sucked back up into your bathtub, and thus the name sanitary. There are also regular pipe junctures - tees, whys, elbows, bends, four ways, Ess Offsets, etc - that don’t have that special corner, but they aren’t called unsanitary. They’re just regular junctures. Pipe is sized according to its inner diameter, so a 2” gavlanized mild steel pipe is actually a bit more than 2 1/4” in overall diameter, and the socket part of a 2” pipe hub is even larger, so that the plumber can have room to put the lead seal in. Or not, as the general move lately is away from lead anything, so gaskets, o-rings, and several types of adhesive are used these days instead. To make matters more complex, sewer pipe is made in 2 varieties, Service Weight (marked “SV” because it originated during WWII as a lightweight pipe that saved metal for the War Effort and thus was at first called “Service Victory") and regular weight (marked “XH” for extra-heavy duty), and the outer diameters of these pipes are not the same for a given inner diameter. The hub sizes are also different for the same reason.

So when I went to unscrew the top elbow for the deep P ( a regular P-trap keeps about 2” of standing water on either side of the bottom U-bend. This keeps the rank smell of the sewer line in the sewer line and not the rest of your house. A deep P does the same job, but uses about 4” to 6” of water on either side. I have no idea if one works better than the other as stink catching, or if the deeper design has some other advantage or meets some special need. ) the whole horizontal pipe pulled right out of the hub fitting. This was only a small surprise, as the hub was covered over with generations of caulk and putty to seal the join. Obviously it never was a proper tight fit; a well done joint is the closest thing to forever that exists, and usually needs two oxen and a large application of fire to take apart. Like I said, this is an “I built it” home, where stupid battles with lazy and cheap on a regular basis, and nobody wins in the end. But I finally had the whole P-trap thing removed as a unit, and I proceeded to removed the clogs with a stiff wire and a screwdriver. Then I went after the throat of the sanitary, which was also crusted almost solid. And that’s when I found the heart of the problem. Somehow a small plastic cup had got down the pipe, and was stuck right on the very end of the corner. A little thing, hardly bigger than a bottle cap, a hard to see bit of clear plastic the size of a quarter that was blocking most of the opening. Using two large screwdrivers like the most maniacal pair of chopsticks ever, I was able to capture the little bastard and get it out. Ta friggin’ Da! Now the tub drain should run like Niagara Falls. I put everything back together and sealed the hub with a whole handful of window caulk, which should be right. Then I noticed that the rotting old P-trap was cracked up the side. I had neither torch nor solder with me to seal it properly, so I kept the “I built it” motif going and slathered the thing with a big blob of roofing asphalt that happened to be sitting there in a can. That should hold for a couple days, especially since the old lady isn’t even using the tub right now at all because her knees are too weak to let her lift her calves up over the side of the tub.

And that’s why she has the salesman from one of those walk-in tubs for seniors coming Saturday. So we all have to go down there for that, to make sure he doesn’t twist her arm into signing up for some $10,000 deluxe spa device when all she really needs is a low edged shower stall, or one of those conversions where they cut a door into the side of your tub. I’ll use that visit to do some more work on the P-trap. It’s rotting apart, like I said. I want to replace the old galvanized parts with some nice new PVC parts, and that means I’ll have to clean out the hub on the sanitary tee. You can’t fit plastic PVC to a cast iron hub with the old poured molten lead method. You have to use a special rubber seal instead, and that means I need a Fernco Donut. Fernco is the company that makes the thing, and a donut is another name for the O-ring kind of seal:

They come specially sized for whatever kind of pipe you’re using, and I’ll be using standard Schedule 40 2” DWV PVC . This is a fairly common fitting these days, assuming I can figure out whether her stack uses SV or XH, and in theory you just have to hammer it in. Short work, easy project. Which means a 2 or 3 day effort at my MIL’s place. Call a plumber? Are you kidding? They’d charge hundreds just to remove the old seal, and hundreds more to put in a new one and rig up a new PVC P-trap. Plus, I know that my “I built it"s will last forever, because I build things to a standard that would make Mike Holmes blush.

the entrepreneurial spirit, with a boost from the brit taxpayer

Don’t ya just love the entrepreneurial spirit?  Start with $2,335.75 and watch your profits grow.
Especially satisfying of course when that 2300 comes not from you, but the taxpayer. Free money. Hey,hey.  What could be easier.
That’s kapitalism. Right?

I’m wondering if I can leave this place and then sneak back in as an illegal. Wonder what they’d pay me to leave?  On second thought, even one hour in any jail does not sound like an inviting introduction to the world of the entrepreneur. 

Illegal immigrant who arranged sham marriages leaves jail with £1,500 rehab money - and sets up business in Pakistan offering UK passports

Ashar Rathore served 7 months of two-year sentence
Given taxpayers’ money to get out of jail and leave UK
He used cash to set up shop offering passports, visas… and ‘any enquiry related to the laws of cricket’
By NICK ENOCH

An illegal immigrant and sham marriage ringleader who left prison early with a huge pay-off has used the money to set up a new business in his homeland - offering UK passports.

Ashar Ali Rathore, 33, came to the UK with his wife Nadia Qadri, 34, on student visas then faked marriages to two Polish people to gain residency.

The fraudster was jailed for conspiring to breach immigration law, but was then handed £1,500 of taxpayers’ money - on condition of leaving Britain and returning to his native country - as part of a Government scheme for rehabilitating foreign nationals.

He had only served seven months of his two-year sentence.

Today, it emerged Rathore has used the money to set up Xpress Solutions - a company providing UK passports, visas and driving licences in Kotli, Pakistan, his home country.

Among its other services, it also bizarrely offers ‘any enquiry related to the laws of cricket’.

He is not currently under investigation by the Pakistani authorities.

Jonathan Isaby, political director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, branded the payout a ‘sick golden goodbye’.

He said: ‘When all of us are having to tighten our belts and watch every penny, pay-offs for fraudsters like Rathore at British taxpayers’ expense are an utter disgrace.

‘Ministers must urgently review the operation of the Facilitated Returns Scheme to ensure that we are not being taken for a ride.

Oh, you’re being taken for a ride alright. And this is only one case of very many.

when somalis aren’t out - a - pirating

When Somalis aren’t out – a - pirating
They’re here in the former GB collecting. Could this be land piracy?
Of course, they aren’t the only ones, and membership in the EU doesn’t help this problem either.

That’s THREE BILLION ONE HUNDRED MILLION in US dollars. And trust me, bad as things are, this won’t be the end of it. 

The foreigners being paid £2billion in benefits a year including 371,000 on the dole (and 5,000 claiming £42m in illegal handouts)
· DWP fraud probe after 5,000 illegal immigrants claim £42m in handouts to which they are not entitled
· 371,000 foreign nationals on out-of-work benefits
· 6% of all benefit claimants are foreigners, study finds
By TIM SHIPMAN

More than £2billion is being claimed in benefits by foreigners every year, including thousands of illegal immigrants, figures reveal.
The Department for Work and Pensions announced a fraud investigation last night after it emerged 5,000 illegals claimed handouts worth £42million to which they are not entitled.
Ministers acted after the first-ever study of claimants’ nationality, which found 371,000 foreign nationals are on out-of-work benefits.

Taxpayers will rightly worry the rules designed to prevent benefit tourists are steadily being eroded by a meddlesome EU, leaving Britain to pick up a bigger welfare bill than it needs to.’

Somali asylum seeker Saeed Khaliif was given a £2million home in one of the country’s most exclusive neighbourhoods at the taxpayer’s expense.

The 49-year-old was granted housing benefits of almost £8,000 a month to live in the six- bedroom property with his wife Sayida and children.

The unemployed couple demanded to be moved to West Hampstead, north-west London, after deciding their home in the Midlands was inadequate.

The payments, revealed last year, are among the largest ever given in housing benefit.

Their new home has a 90ft garden and has been recently refurbished, with an en suite master bedroom and modern kitchen.

It is minutes from West Hampstead Underground station and the neighbourhood is home to comedian Stephen Fry.

It is understood Mr Khaliif has up to eight children and lives on benefits. He has not worked since arriving here three years ago.

Sought-after: The Khaliffs’ new home in West Hampstead

It is understood the family left £600 worth of damage to their old home in Coventry and did not pay the final month’s rent.
Housing benefit was recently capped at £400 a week, but the Khaliifs were able to claim more because they moved before the change came into force.
According to property sources, the house was being advertised to rent at £7,800 per month.

about as bad as it gets. squatters. why isn’t anyone killing them? they deserve it !

Well, it’s happened again.  Yeah I know.  I was tired of these never ending stories. But this is one hell of a story.
Besides .... I am reminded of the promise by this govt. that the law was going to be changed.  The PM made that promise I do believe, around about election time. Was that 2010 or 2011?  I think it was 2010.  Whatever.  I didn’t really hold my breath.

Interesting though when it happened to a govt. type last year, she got back her property pretty fast.
Nobody else does.

Justice Secretary Ken Clarke recently announced proposals to make squatting illegal in residential dwellings. The Ministry of Justice was unable to say when the law would come into force.

Yeah right.  But it never happens in time to give relief to the innocent and the people who are desperate for the change. It is so fuckin obvious that this needs change. 

I can not begin to describe the depth of my hatred for the scum who do these things and my total disdain for the powers that leach who allow it to continue.

Squatters should ALL be slaughtered on sight. The country should be swept of this vermin by any means. Anyone who objects should likewise be made to stop their un-necessary breathing, as they are enablers of this loathsome practice. 

‘My childhood home has been invaded by Moldovan squatters’: Woman’s anguish as eight Eastern Europeans break in days before she is due to sell
By ANDREW LEVY

After inheriting her childhood home from her mother and renting it out for a couple of years, Janice Mason decided to make a clean break with the past by selling the property.

Having found a buyer, she hoped the heart-wrenching process could be completed swiftly. But a group of Eastern European squatters moved in before the contracts had been exchanged.

As a result, Mrs Mason is facing months of anguish and frustration.

The £250,000 three-bedroom detached house in Walthamstow, East London, was left empty after the tenants moved out. Seizing their opportunity, the eight squatters, believed to be Moldovan, broke in through the back door.

Mrs Mason and her husband David discovered what had happened only after a neighbour went round to meet the people she presumed were the new owners.

She was met by a heavily pregnant woman who brandished what she claimed was a ‘tenancy agreement’.

Alerted, the Masons rushed to the home but found the locks had been changed. Police told them they were powerless to act as it was a civil matter. Lawyers have advised the couple that they face a legal process that could take up to eight months and cost them thousands of pounds.

‘We are going through hell at the moment,’ said Mrs Mason, 49. ‘We’re not eating, we’re not sleeping properly. I have had to inform my buyer that the house is now occupied by squatters and we cannot sell it to her. The salt in the wound is that I even have to pay for the electricity they use while they are in there.’

Her husband, 48, who works as a driver, added: ‘I have paid my taxes all my life and abided by the law. But when something like this happens, the law is against me.’

The house was built in 1970 and Mrs Mason’s parents, Betty and Bill, moved in the following year when she was nine. Bill died in 2003 and Betty moved into a care home in 2009. The house was rented out to pay the costs.

Betty passed away in December 2010 and the two-year tenancy came to an end in May last year, after which Mrs Mason decided to sell up.

An offer of £248,500 was accepted last month but the deal ground to a halt on January 8 when the Masons, who have no children and live 12 miles away in Epping, Essex, learned the Moldovans – four adults and four children – had moved in.

The owners were also met by a woman clutching a ‘tenancy agreement’ when they arrived.

‘She was saying she would call the police,’ said Mrs Mason. ‘So we thought let’s call the police and resolve the matter. But they couldn’t do anything.’ Officers examined the occupants’ documents, which stated they let the property from a woman called Sharon Wright from December 28 and paid £2,000.

They were unable to contact the woman and refused to pass her mobile number to the Masons, who were allowed inside briefly to examine the house, which had been left unfurnished.

A sofa and TV had been moved in. A steady procession of men and women were seen entering and leaving when the Mail visited the property this week. The squatters were seen using a shopping trolley to help move in mattresses, folding chairs and a table. None of them was prepared to talk.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Squatting in an empty property remains a civil matter and the owners were advised accordingly.’

Justice Secretary Ken Clarke recently announced proposals to make squatting illegal in residential dwellings. The Ministry of Justice was unable to say when the law would come into force.

(And that cos the Ministry of No Justice are made up of no care idiots. Putzes”! All of em.)

law without justice as killers walk free but bored.

It’s 11:19 and this damn cold has settled into a raging cough. So I came downstairs and booted to see what tomorrows headlines will be.
This bit of soft justice (justice? where?) immediately caught my eye.  I guess it was meant to.
It’s this kind of thing that makes ppl see red and causes so much frustration and anger.  There really, really should be vigilantes at work here to settle the hash of vermin like these thugs.  But what gets everyone up in arms are the light jail times for an act like this.
Meanwhile, a few days ago someone was given seven years for stealing £7,000.
There is no way to make sense of that. Oh I forget. Except among lawyers.
Here. Take a look.

Thug who killed for kicks released after just two years… and whines that he’s BORED

Attack by Warren Crago and two mates ‘worst case of mob violence imaginable’

Leaves pitiful message on Facebook: ‘nuthin to do out in the big world for me’
Also spouts hatred of police and threatens to punch ‘black boys’
Victim’s father: ‘These thugs have evidently not learned their lesson’

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

What lesson?  What they have learned is simply that they can easily get away with it and will more then likely do it again.

A sick thug who killed a Big Issue seller for kicks has been released from his custodial sentence after just two years and has taken to Facebook to tell of his ‘boredom’.

Warren Crago was 16 when he and two teenage friends beat homeless man Ralph Millward, 41, to death after finding him asleep on a pavement in Westbourne, Bournemouth.

Although a judge described the brutal attack as the ‘worst case of mob violence imaginable’, Crago and accomplice Craig Real were jailed for four years.

But after serving half of their sentence they are now back on the streets.

Crago, now 18, has gone on Facebook to write about being bored after getting out of ‘pen’. He is even using his police mugshot photo as his profile picture.

Mr Millward’s grieving father Ken, 78, said he was sickened by the teenagers’ conduct.
He said: ‘I would have hanged them. I have always believed in life for a life.

The victim suffered 10 broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and bleeding on the brain. His injuries were said to have been consistent with being involved in a car crash.

The teenage trio were found guilty of manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court last year.

But of course

It’s 15 degrees out. Damn.

So of course the muffler strap on my car chose today to break, popping open the exhaust system and making my car sound like some old motorboat.

I’m going to freeze my A off out there fixing it. Assuming I can find the part locally. Stupid muffler strap on Saturns is the one and only piss poor part on the cars; they rot out every 3 years. Everything else soldiers on forever.

it’s RACIST to use the word colored.  wtf. why is that a bad word? what’s next?

I just happened upon this a minute ago.  I don’t follow sports here, or as the Brits call it, Sport. No ‘s’ on the end.

But the headline caught my eye and I was going to pass on it until I realized the word was “colored.” There’s a video at the end at the link. Take look and listen.
His accent is pretty hard but judge for yourself if he said anything in an offensive way.  Or meant it to be taken as ridicule based on race.
Jeesh.  The stupid hand wringing bed wetters are making things worse by the day.

So then, an apology for the use of the word colored.  Fucked up politically correct left wing dictatorship has taken over.

Gaffe of the day: Alan Hansen forced to apologise after making race blunder TWICE on Match Of The Day

Outrage on Twitter after pundit calls black players ‘coloured’

England captain John Terry to be charged over alleged racist remarks
By EMMA REYNOLDS

BBC pundit Alan Hansen is the latest to come under fire in football’s race row after making an embarrassing gaffe on Match of the Day.

The commentator - who is paid a huge £40,000 per show - shocked viewers by twice describing black players as ‘coloured’ when discussing the John Terry and Luis Suarez cases.

Fellow pundit Lee Dixon looked on in apparent discomfort as Hansen, 56, said: ‘I think there’s a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured players who are probably the best in the Premier League.

‘If you look at 25 or 30 years ago it was probably in a bad way - not as bad as some of the other nations on the Continent - but certainly there is always, always room for improvement.’

The ex-footballer had been discussing the separate allegations that England captain Terry and Liverpool striker Suarez have hurled racist abuse at other players on the pitch.

Ex-Liverpool star and broadcaster Stan Collymore was quoted in The Sun saying: ‘What colour would that be? Blue? Green? Orange?’

Although he didn’t see the incident, musician Example waded in to the debate, saying: ‘I didn’t see MOTD but did Alan Hansen really say ‘coloured players’?? Wow. Hand him his P45.’

Hansen was even labelled ‘ignorant’ and ‘overpaid’ by society blogger Toby Young on the Telegraph website - the same newspaper Hansen writes for as a columnist.

Mr Young wrote: ‘Alan Hansen, the overpaid football pundit, just dropped a clanger on Match of the Day. In fact, make that two clangers.

‘Clearly, Hansen’s intentions were honourable. But his ignorance is breathtaking. Is he really unaware that the word “coloured” has been verboten since the mid-70s?’

Hansen has now apologised, but it may come too late with fans and observers horrified at the lack of action to stamp out racism in football.

He said: ‘I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused. This was never my intention and I deeply regret the use of the word.’

LETS NOT SAY COLORED

Me Time Yet?

Garbage out, recycling out. Ran the laundry, ran the dishes. Changed the sheets. Fixed the toilet, fixed the vacuum cleaner. Went shopping. Got the mail (great card from Peiper, as always! Thanks!). Cleaned the bowl.  Epoxied the *@#$! outside mirror back on my car. Damn thing breaks off every 3 years. It’s 3:30. I think I can find a few minutes to eat lunch. Or is it breakfast? Been too busy today to remember. Must remember to put out fresh towels and to clean bowling ball before league.

What else was on my list? Where is my list?

more law and disorder and the joke named justice

Tiz always thus. One rule and law for one group, and another set of standards for another.
These stories have made the news and passed pretty quickly cos more important stories take their place. Like how the evil American empire, so described on the radio here by the lawyer of that queer traitor Bradley Manning, is treating his baby faced innocent client. The other person interviewed (for the prosecution) holds the view and correctly I believe, that Manning could not have had the time to read all 125,000 docs he stole and gave to Wikileaks. So the claim of his altruistic intention is rubbish.  I sidetracked myself again.  That isn’t the subject of this post.
This is.

Ok, fair is fair and if someone fiddles at the expense of the taxpayer, they damn well should face the humiliation of fines and exposure and jail time.  These are the leaches that sit on fat asses passing regs and new laws and more rules that the rest of the population is made to live by and with.  The average person doing the same thing sometimes does go to jail.  Ah but, some things depend on who and what you are.
The crooks here are white, so far. And not members of any favored minority.  They are, or were, members of the Labour Party. Think left wing. Or as Lyndon refers to it, the Lie-bour Party. I believe he has a few more colorful names as well.  They’ve wrecked this country.
(this does not let off crooks of a conservative bent btw)

MPs’ expenses: jailed trio ordered to pay back legal costs
Three former Labour MPs who were jailed for fiddling their expenses have been ordered to pay back a total of £125,000 – less than half of the money spent on their court cases.

But a fourth disgraced politician was spared any repayment on the grounds he is already bankrupt.
Elliot Morley, David Chaytor and Eric Illsley, exposed for claiming too much on their Parliamentary allowances after the landmark investigation by The Daily Telegraph, were told by a judge they must give back their legal aid funds and contribute to prosecution costs.
They have already been denied the “parachute” payments given to most MPs when they leave Westminster, and forced to pay back their fraudulently claimed expenses.

much more to read here

So that’s one little part of the expenses fiddle by crooks in control of the public purse.
Here’s another that made the news in the last week. Just a small item which set me to thinking.

Recently a fellow named James Lunn, was working for the Ministry of Justice.  Which as we all know doesn’t really exist anywhere in the world anymore. In addition to the crime of being white and middle class, Mr lunn apparently has sticky fingers and has been caught with his paws in the ministry cookie jar. The headline said that he used his MOJ credit card like a piggy bank. His piggy bank. So not an altogether honest man we may all agree.

His lawyer said that his client was working in an enviorenment where everyone abused their expenses.
Oh well, if everyone does it .... Anyway, Mr. Lunn is now facing a year in jail and well deserved as this is not the first time he’s tried to glom money from the public cookie jar. You might interested to learn that the sum he stole was £3,400. Or in our dollars at the current rate. $5,270.15. Not a small sum but then not the Great Train Robbery either.

But for real chutzpah (Yiddish for nerve, in spades. ) take a look at this one. And just so you know, she’ll be entitled to draw money just for signing in when the dust settles. But whatcha gonna do?  She came to this country at the age of 13 and has learned well how to fleece the infidel. She was made a Peer, the first muzzie female peer I believe. She’s a baroness FYI. Might be a token jest-ture to prove there isn’t any anti female anti islam feelings and it’s quite pc too.
Take a look at this.  Has she drawn a year in the pokey for a hundred thousand plus fiddle?  Uh huh. I see you know the answer already.

She was raised to the peerage as Baroness Uddin, of Bethnal Green in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, for life by Letters patent in the afternoon of 18 July 1998, at the House of Lords.

She was the youngest woman on the benches and the only Muslim and Bangladeshi woman to be appointed to the House of Lords. She was invited to the House of Lords for her contribution to the advancement of women and disability rights, swearing in by saying “Almighty Allah” as she took her seat in the parliament. Since entering the House of Lords, besides claiming the maximum possible amount she could fleece the taxpayer for, she has supported a handful of initiatives.

In 2010, The National Executive Committee of The Labour Party suspended Uddin indefinitely from the Party in light of the expenses claim allegations.
In October 2010, Under the recommendation of The Privileges and Conduct Committee of The House of Lords a suspension is to be handed down to Pola Uddin until Easter 2012 at the earliest for claiming expenses “to which she was not entitled”. The Committee also acknowledged a repayment agreement for expenses wrongly claimed.

Uddin claims on her House of Lords Expenses that a flat inMaidstone, Kent is her main residence on which she has claimed £30,000 per annum in tax-free expenses since 2005. This is said to have allowed her to also claim the second home allowance on her London property, a scheme that ostensibly exists to compensate politicians living outside London for the cost of accommodation close to Parliament. Residents living near the flat in Maidstone reportedly said they had not seen any occupiers in the flat since Uddin purchased it and that it has remained completely unfurnished, but Uddin claims: “The Maidstone property is furnished and I strongly deny that I have never lived there” Uddin’s husband even denied having a property in Kent when questioned on the issue

She also has one of the highest claims for overnight subsistence of any member of the Lords.
Uddin’s home in Wapping, where she lives and is registered to vote, is a housing association property. Spitalfields Housing Association received a public subsidy of £37.8 million in 2008. The average rent for its properties is £104 a week, a sixth of the market rate. The allegations of fraud led the Tory opposition leader in Tower Hamlets, Peter Golds, to state, “Lady Uddin is depriving a low-income family of a home which was built for the needy at public expense.” On 5 May 2009, one of the senior Lord’s official, Clerk of the Parliaments, has announced the House of Lords authorities are investigating the report by the Sunday Times. Uddin welcomed the review: “I welcome this review and will co-operate fully with him in the hope of a speedy resolution and clarity that I did not break the rules of the House.”
On 23 November 2009, Uddin’s cases was passed to the police for possible prosecution for fraud. The Daily Telegraph later reported that she was refusing to cooperate with the police investigation, refusing to answer any questions.

The Crown Prosecution Service announced on 10 March 2010 that Baroness Uddin would not face any charges on the grounds that a senior parliamentary official ruled that a Peers “main house” might be a place they visit only once a month. There were no indications that the expenses would be paid back.
On 18 October 2010, the House of Lords Privileges and Conduct Committee ruled that Baroness Uddin had ‘acted in bad faith’ and recommended that she should be asked to repay £125,349 as well as being suspended from Parliament until Easter 2012.

In November 2011, it was revealed that no formal mechanism existed to prevent Baroness Uddin’s return to the House of Lords, even if she refused to repay the expenses that were fraudulently claimed, leading many members of her own party to call for her to resign rather than bring the House of Lords into further disrepute.
The amount of money quoted in her case (£125,349) is probably the largest amount in any of the House of Commons or House of Lords expenses scandals.

Bangladesh Mansion

Further expenses claims by Uddin were later discovered when The Sunday Times revealed that she owns a mansion in Bangladesh. The mansion was described as made out of Italian marble with tiles, mosaics and with a balcony.’ An investigation of this has been acquired to whether she does have a home in Bangladesh. The mansion was believed to be built after Uddin became a peer in 1998, costing £140,000 which was organised by her husband Komar, located in Jawa Bazar in Chhatak; this is where many of her in-laws are originally from. However Uddin claims that the land was bought by her husband’s family, purchased by Kumar’s father in 1980.

FULL UNEDITED WIKIPEDIA VERSION HERE

OH BTW .... SHE IS NOT PAYING BACK ONE SINGLE DIME.

Now then, if Mr. Lunn, thief tho he may be were a member of her privileged group .... any questions?

a justice (?) system in the toilet. well hell. no wonder it stinks. and it damn well does.

Ever have your eyes opened for the first time?
But late in life rather then early?

It isn’t that I’ve never been sceptical about the law or the injustice system.  It’s more like I hadn’t discovered just how unjust it can be.  Until late in life.

So I’m up all night reading a book impossible to put down called “The Color of Law.”
There is a line, one among many, that stands out and strikes a chord.

It reads as follows.

The law is just a business, a game we play with other people’s lives and money.

Another line says

Check your conscience at the door each morning or you won’t last long in the law.

Coincidence that I’ve read the book at about the same time as the tilt against justice was made in a court last week, and which was reported on here as well as many other blogs.  You may recall I posted a story about four black muslim slags who beat the heck out of a white girl while calling her racial names.  For those of you who missed the article, although I can’t see how, the judge in the case decided that since the four were drunk for the first time (they claimed), then he would not jail the sluts because as muslimes, they were clearly not used to drinking and so acted contrary to their normal behavior.  So they got a get out of jail card.  Now any white that in anger or not would use the ‘N’ word would definitely find themselves in a cell and fined heavily since words do more harm then a severe kicking and beating. 

Well as the old song went, “The Beat Goes On.” and “Ain’t That a Shame?”

This old man, age 79, was hit with what you see him holding. It was thrown by the vermin shown here on the right.

Of course, it was just all in fun and yoot being yoot. It was done by this piece of worthless shit who had this to say after appearing in court.
“HaHa, Got off with a tag.” In other words, he was spared jail time by the system in place here.

He was part of a gang of feral youths that threw a 40lb paving slab at the old man shown, leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.
Ryan Girdlestone walked free from court with a curfew and an electronic tag after his lawyer convinced magistrates the 18-year-old was full of remorse for the incident that ended with Bernard O’Donnell, 79, with a suspected broken leg.

But that is not how he appeared just minutes later, as Girdlestone boasted on his Facebook page: ‘Jus got out off court wiv a 4 mouths [sic] tag hahahha d**ks!!!’

Last night, his victim, a retired deputy head teacher, said: ‘Clearly he has no care for the damage he has caused. If they are laughing at the consequences then it’s hardly a deterrent.’

source,more

So why should this miserable thug worry about the law?  There’s no teeth to bite the bastard with.

And there’s this insane example of justice not done. Another case of fuck the victim.
Maybe it’s almost well that guns are hard to come by here. I have a feeling that otherwise there’s be running gun battles in the streets with 12 year olds armed to the teeth.  On the other hand, the feral shits already own the streets.  The law abiding should be armed with permission to shoot to kill. 
Here, take a look at this dumbo ruling.

‘Only a tyrant would tag someone on their 21st birthday’: Judge spares man caught with keys to stolen car so he can celebrate his birthday

· Corey Brown, 20, who was caught with the keys to a £30k car, repeatedly failed to turn up for unpaid work
· Recorder David Hall refuses to give him an electronic tag - and instead adds an extra seven hours to his community punishment
· Brown says he saw punishment as a ‘bit of a joke’
By KATHERINE FAULKNER

Corey Brown had been ordered to do 150 hours of community service for his role in the theft of a pensioner’s car, but when he failed to turn up for the work sessions five times he was hauled back into court to be given a curfew and an electronic tag.
But he was spared after complaining that the punishment would ruin his plans for a night out on his 21st birthday.

Turning to Brown– who had sat smirking throughout the hearing at Warwick Crown Court – Recorder Hall then said: ‘If I give you seven more hours [of community service] to do, and you keep out of trouble, is that a fair deal?’
Brown, from Bedworth, Warwickshire, simply nodded, and then walked free from court.

And Brown – who has already been to prison three times – admitted that even he was surprised he had been let off.
He said: ‘I was expecting to get a tag for missing my probation dates. Technically, they should have activated my prison sentence. But the judge told me I’d done well so far. He said he didn’t see the point.
‘Thanks to the judge, I can enjoy a few drinks for my birthday, instead of being stuck in with my gran or in prison.’
When asked why he had not turned up to do his community service, he replied: ‘I don’t know; just didn’t think about it. I didn’t care.
‘I suppose I did see the whole thing as a bit of a joke.’
As he prepared to celebrate his 21st birthday yesterday, Brown added: ‘I’ve been to jail three times and I haven’t learned a thing.

more at the source

Well of course he sees it as a joke.  Because it freekin well is a joke. Not a very funny one either but it proves my constant point.
Nobody will fear laws and punishments with no teeth. No one will have a reason to fear being caught for any kind of crime. There will always be a lawyer ready to play the game. And judges and magistrates with no common sense and less brains then god gave a tennis ball aren’t a big help.

Since liberals have achieved a choke hold on the criminal injustice system world wide, we can all look forward to more of the same.
I’m sure by now you have all been made aware of the killings in Belgium over the last 24 hours. Drew posted the story.  Here was a man, another scum sucking bit of worthless flesh with a record. A violent one.  What was he doing out on the streets?  Oh right.  His human rights.

The papers said he came from a North African immigrant background, also had convictions for drug dealing, handling stolen goods and sex abuse.  An immigrant background?  Does that mean he was born of immigrant parents, or that he was himself an immigrant?  Because here in Britain, there are thousands of criminal immigrants and so far, no way or no will to deport them.

For example:

Rapist asylum seeker who dumped victim on rubbish tip is released after being TWO hours away from deportation
· Alphonse Semo, 54, was allowed by judge to marry girlfriend so can stay in Britain
· Father-of-five was jailed for eight years for rape in 2002
By ROB COOPER

An asylum seeker who raped a woman and dumped her on a rubbish tip when he was ‘finished’ has been freed despite Home Office attempts to deport him.
Alphonse Semo, 54, was jailed for eight years for the rape and at the end of his term was due to be sent back to the Congo.
However two hours before his flight he was given permission to marry his girlfriend and stay in the country.
Now a judge has allowed the father-of-five to be released from an immigration detention centre.

And btw, for a crime of this sort where there is no doubt about guilt, why was the sentence so small?  A crime like rape deserves the death penalty after first ripping off the rapists parts or burning them off.  Wanna bet this non human bit of shit will be on benefits?

In Italy, a man opened fire on some Senegalese merchants killing two.
He was described as being a Fascist and belonged to a right wing Fascist party.
Not that killing a couple of innocent merchants is justified. Ever. But I keep waiting for the violent backlash against the liberals who have brought us to this state. The guy in Italy was angered by immigration and I suppose (no supposing about it ) he was acting on race based ill will.  But if he had to kill anyone, why not the liberals who are responsible for the situation that led to his anger and hate.

Can’t anyone on the far right with violent intent ever get it right?  There’s loads of lawyers for example, on the left, who specialize in civil rights cases. There are so many legitimate targets to choose from but no.  They always seem to shoot the visible result of liberal policy, instead of the liberal ‘activists’ who are the cause. 

Machine-gun thug killed ‘blameless’ pair in a row over parking

By COLIN FERNANDEZ
An argument over parking led to a ‘completely good and blameless’ businessman and his nephew being machine-gunned to death by a drug dealer.

Khan, who has previous convictions for robbery and possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply, looked ‘furious’ as he drove away. About ten minutes later three Asian men returned and started to damage the van which had blocked the road. One pulled out a gun from a bag and opened fire, killing both Amarjit and Rajinder.

Harjinder Tiwana watched in horror as the gunman aimed the gun at her, before the gang fled with hoods pulled over their faces. In February 2004 she identified Khan as the gunman. She told the court: ‘I will never forget the face of the man who murdered my father.’

Mobile phone evidence revealed that after leaving the scene Khan repeatedly phoned another man, Abu Bakr Mansha Khan – who was later jailed for six years in 2006 for plotting to kill a decorated British soldier, Corporal Mark Byles.

Jurors heard that Abu Bakr Mansha Khan was arrested in September 2003 but released and has not stood trial in relation to this incident. It also emerged that the MAC-10 gun used in the murders had been used in another shooting that year, in Coventry.

Prosecutor Nicholas Hilliard said: ‘Nobody hearing about this case could have been anything other than horrified. Two good, blameless men shot dead in broad daylight with a machine gun. It raises a whole host of issues that people feel strongly about – the availability of firearms,

more to read and see

Seems to me they should worry more about criminals who can’t be deported and the abuse of the human rights industry by civil rights lawyers and a too soft approach to punishment.  When there’s any of that, that means anything.  Firearms are NOT easily available to the law abiding, and those who don’t abide don’t care.  What is it they (officialdumb) don’t understand?  If you read the comment by Brits it’s pretty clear they are tired of all the BS.  But the powers that be just are not listening enough.  They are letting technicalities and loopholes put the law abiding in ever more danger with no hope.

If I’ve bored the readers here with all this, it hasn’t been intentional. I’m just so damn sick of seeing this kind of thing so often, and so often the criminals getting off lightly and laughing their way out of court. And if you think the little bit I have posted here is all of it, you’d think wrong.  These are just a few examples of a justice injustice system that is broken.
And here’s the last bit of proof of that.  This is fuckin sick and it isn’t even the very worst of what I’ve seen over the last 7 years. But it’s damn well bad enough.

Gang of nine who beat autistic teenager so badly she was off school for 10 months escape without ANY punishment
· Sophie Russell, 16, was punched about 20 times in the face
· Four girls and five boys let off and police handed just one of the mob a caution
By EMILY ALLEN

Sophie Russell, 16, was attacked by the teenage yobs who left her seriously injured with a broken nose and shattered face at her school in February. 

The teenager from Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, had to have facial surgery and was forced to take 10 months off school to overcome traumatic panic attacks and rebuild her life. 
Her mother Helen, who owns a heating ventilation company with husband Iain, 45, in Louth, Lincolnshire, has criticised police for not prosecuting the youths, saying ‘there has been no justice.’
Sophie, who has Asperger’s syndrome, said: ‘What I went through was really traumatic and ripped the family to bits. I was just walking to my boyfriend’s house and wasn’t expecting to be attacked.

‘Because they are juveniles they have got away with it. If the main offender does it again she will end up in front of a judge, but why give them a chance to do it again?’

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said the case was passed to the Youth Offending Team who decided not to press charges but to give a caution for common assault.

Gee, if this is a “common assault” I’d sure hate to see what they regard as uncommon.  See the link and read the comments. She’s been patched up and is a pretty girl. But inside the damage will last a lifetime.  And the punks walk away free.  Justice would demand that the very same thing be done to them, as they did to her.

girl gang attack white woman, gang a protected group and go free. SEE THE IDIOT REASONING by judge

You will no doubt recall a post from a week ago with regard to a racist rant in public by a white woman.

She should have known better.  White folks do NOT have a right to express publicly what many think.  That white woman is going to spend Christmas in jail for her own protection, as she’s received death threats, and her home address has been posted to Facebook and Twitter. And all not for what she did, but for what she said.

A woman accused of launching a vile racist rant on a tram is to spend Christmas behind bars after she was remanded in custody for her own safety.
Magistrates took the decision to refuse Emma West’s bail application after they heard she had received death threats and that her address had been circulated on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.
There were outbursts from supporters of Miss West, who shouted ‘treason’ as she was denied bail at Croydon Magistrates’ Court.

‘Woman on a tram’ to spend Christmas behind bars

And the only reason I am bringing up her case now and here again, is because of the action of four filthy Somali niggers who beat hell out of a white woman, calling her white slags, and suggested killing her.  Of course, we are not surprised and expect this sort of thing from this particular group of life forms, as in general they are not capable of the thinking and feelings of a more civilized world.  You can dress a pig up in a tux, call him friend and invite him into your house but .... it will still be a pig. Won’t it?

The young women who are all muslims it is claimed, were drunk. Take a look at the defense these filthy black and brown sluts put up and the fuckin idiot judge who one can only hope becomes the victim (hopefully a close family member as icing on the race cake as well) of some drunk black muslim. We can only hope.
And yeah, I am pissed.  Imagine how the victim must feel.

Here’s a statement from the stupid idiot mof***er judge about the boy friend trying to defend his girlfriend. PLEASE see the video bmews. What’s it look like to you?

he accepted the women may have felt they were the victims of unreasonable force from Mr Moore as he tried to defend his girlfriend, and handed the defendants a suspended sentence.

Everybody is now the victim.

EXCEPT THE VICTIM!

Girl gang who kicked woman in the head while yelling ‘kill the white slag’ freed after judge hears ‘they weren’t used to drinking because they’re Muslims’

· Yobs ripped lump of hair from Rhea Page’s head during High Street attack

· Three sisters and cousin escape with six-month suspended sentences

· Maximum term for assault occasioning actual bodily harm is five years’ jail

· Judge: ‘Those who knock someone to the ground and kick them in the head can expect to go inside, but I’m going to suspend the sentence’

By ANDY DOLAN and KATHERINE FAULKNER

A gang of Muslim women who attacked a passer-by in a city centre walked free from court after a judge heard they were ‘not used to being drunk’ because of their religion.

The group – three sisters and a cousin – allegedly screamed ‘kill the white slag’ as they set upon Rhea Page as she waited for a taxi with her boyfriend.
Miss Page, 22, was left with a bald patch where her hair was pulled out in the attack and was left ‘black and blue’ after suffering a flurry of kicks to the head, back, arms and legs while motionless on the pavement.

Ambaro Maxamed, 24, students Ayan Maxamed, 28, and Hibo Maxamed, 24, and their 28-year-old cousin Ifrah Nur each admitted actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment.

But Judge Robert Brown gave them suspended jail terms after hearing mitigation that as Muslims, the women were not used to being drunk. The Koran prohibits Muslims from consuming alcohol, although Islamic teachings permit its use for medicinal purposes.

After the sentencing, Ambaro Maxamed wrote on her Twitter account: ‘Happy happy happy!’, ‘I’m so going out’, and ‘Today has been such a great day’.

Yesterday Miss Page, a care worker, called the sentence ‘disgusting’ and said the gang deserved ‘immediate custody’.

free pass for black muslim scum because of who they are. pix and video and more to read.

And here’s a bit of afterthought from one of the gang of sluts.

‘I’m not proud of it, it’s not something I want to talk about. I just want to get on with my life.’

When asked if she wanted to apologise, she replied: ‘What, to the public? I really don’t care.‘

A couple of years ago I posted an article about a fellow who grew tired, frustrated and finally very angry with his black neighbor. At issue was the neighbor blocking his driveway on a number of occasions.  He complained but that got him nowhere.  Well, one day the black bastard parked across the driveway, the white guy couldn’t get out until he got him to come out and move it and losing his temper, referred to his neighbor in terms that accurately described exactly what he was.  Namely, a black bastard.
He was arrested and charged with anti-social behavior and race hate. He was fined a goodly sum although I don’t now recall how much.
I only mention it here as one example of I’m certain many more, where one set of sub-human life forms seem to have the judges and the law on their side.
And I’d apply that equally to white criminal scum as well.

Everybody is now the victim, except the victim.

anarchists try and fail as cops react swiftly this time around. sadly, anarchists still alive.

Here we almost went again but this time, the cops did what cops are paid to do.

If I have any gripe it’s only that they didn’t use deadly force.  The only real way to contain and defeat these slimy commie anarchists. 
I wonder how long it will be before openly stating extreme hatred for this group will be declared a hate crime.

One of the people making comments at the end of the article said exactly what I thought when seeing the hard copy photo. 
A rent a commie is what he said while I looked at it and thought he resembled Trotsky or maybe a young version of Lenin. I simply saw commie all over the creep. I think you will too when you see the link.  Really.  They just seem to have an identifiable look about them.  Right out of central casting.

Also new to the strike action were London Ambulance dispatchers and paramedics, who had not been on strike since the 1970s.
Most of the banners on display were distributed by the big trade unions - Unite, Unison, the NUT and the PCS.

Right. And not shown here in the on line version for some reason, are the hammer and sickle flags.  That’s says a lot don’t ya think?

And as for the slag in the photo here, what a look. Good. I hope it hurt a lot, whatever caused it. 

Violence as anarchists hijack the big march, clash with police and storm offices of multi-national company

Claim they targeted company because of chief executive’s salary

By REBECCA EVANS and ARTHUR MARTIN

After laying siege to St Paul’s Cathedral for weeks, anarchists hijacked the pensions protest yesterday.

Amid violent clashes with police, members of the notorious anti-capitalist group Occupy London stormed the head office of a FTSE 100 company.
As 25,000 TUC strikers including a strong representation of teachers marched through the capital, the 60-strong gang broke away and forced their way into the West End offices of Xstrata, a multi-national mining firm.

The professional protesters got on to the roof of the four-storey building, where they unfurled a banner saying ‘All power to the 99%’ and set off flares.
Some tried to break into the office of the company’s boss Mick Davis to confront him over his ‘excessive’ pay.

In stark contrast to the summer riots, where police were criticised for allowing problems to escalate, hundreds of officers descended on the building within minutes and surrounded the protesters.
One of the demonstrators said: ‘We put the message out on Twitter to meet here. We want to make a stand about the huge pay rise Mick Davis has received.
Also new to the strike action were London Ambulance dispatchers and paramedics, who had not been on strike since the 1970s.

law and disorder

Well now isn’t it always or almost always, the way of things with some favored peoples.

As reported yesterday, a woman will appear in court on Dec. 6th to answer charges of (gasp) racism (where the hell does ‘ism’ come from? It’s applied to everything these days.) So anyway, she lost her cool in public and did a fair amount of swearing consisting chiefly of the ‘F’ word.  Be interesting to know when it goes down, what penalty she will get. Probably less for cussing then who she was cussing at.

Now we have this guy.  An altogether different story. As different as night and day.  The woman mentioned above is white, this fellow is of a much darker hue.
As you can see.  Score one for his side.

Teenage rapper who threatened to kill a mother and two children ‘spared jail so he can pursue music career’

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 7:06 PM on 30th November 2011

An up-and-coming teenage rapper who threatened to kill a mother and her two children has been spared jail so he can pursue his promising music career.

Agassi Odusina, 19, who performs under the name Sneakbo, is signed to the same management company as top London rapper Chipmunk.

Odusina admitted being in breach of an ASBO when he ‘aggressively threatened’ the mother earlier this year, after his sister had an affair with her husband.

Odusina approached the woman and her seven-year-old daughter, neither of whom can be named for legal reasons, and told her to leave his ‘sister alone’, a court heard.

Susan Hulme, prosecuting told Inner London Crown Court: ‘He pointed at where the victims lived and said ‘I know where you live and if you don’t leave her alone I will kill you and your two children’.

‘He then put his forefinger on the woman’s head and the seven-year-old child forehead.

‘The girl was so shocked at the aggressive approach that she cried.’

Hannah Stephenson, in mitigation, told the court her client had lost ‘commercial opportunities’ for his music since being imprisoned after the August attack.

She said: ‘He is signed to the Play Hard management company which also includes successful rapper Chipmunk.

‘His manager describes him as talented and focused and has a real opportunity for a career in music.

UK talent: Odusina is signed to Play Hard, the same management company as successful rapper Chipmunk (pictured)

‘He has been touted by the BBC and MTV as a rapper to watch. He is also discussing a recording deal with Universal/Mercury records.

‘Since going to jail he has missed a number of commercial opportunities.

‘He understands he may go to custody and if that happens he will lose his management deal and his recording contract will have to be cancelled.’
