Taxpayers foot the £70 bill for a cab to avoid breach of violent prisoner’s ‘human rights’ .

Right. By all means lets make absolutely sure that “violent” criminals have THEIR rights protected.  Lets even pretend they are actually human to begin with.

There are a couple more crime stories including another (yawn) killing of an old lady and the hacking to death of two sisters, but .... I’m not posting any more crime stuff today. Two is quite enough.
Oh and just so ya know, I really do not go looking for these sort of stories.  They are impossible to avoid however.

Yeah ‘T’ this is all taking place right here in England.  Land of Hope and Glory ....  Brits have the political leftards to thank and the entire PC crowd that runs riot here. OK, riot the wrong word maybe. But they are very much in control.

btw ... in a late development with regard to my previous story about the stabbing of that young lady, look at this.
Just as predicted.

A mental health NHS trust confirmed that Reid-Wentworth had been under its care. 

Samuel Reid-Wentworth has been accused of stabbing Lucy Yates in a supermarket

A spokesman said: ‘Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust was very shocked to hear of this terrible incident and our thoughts are with the young victim and her family.

(We hear this from these idiots all of the time. Words, just meaningless words. Our thoughts are with the victim. Uh huh. Sure they are. You fraken jerks are MAKING the victims. I hope you become victims of the creeps you serve so well. )

‘We can confirm that the person who has been arrested is known to our services.

he ‘has a history of being diagnosed as a schizophrenic’.

Well, as I said in my last post, shoot the damn shrinks and a large part of the problem will go away. And rid society of these worthless inhuman species.

Taxpayers foot the £70 bill for a cab to avoid breach of violent prisoner’s ‘human rights’

Taxpayers will have to pick up the bill for up to £70 for a taxi so a defendant could be properly dressed for his court hearing and avoid a ‘breach of his human rights’.

Prison staff at HMP Woodhill, near Milton Keynes, sent Barry McGlone, 20, to Northampton Crown Court wearing the high-visibility ‘escape suit’.

Charged with escaping, he was made to wear the harlequin ‘clown suit’, reserved for offenders who have a history of escape.  But he was provided with no alternative clothing.

When McGlone did arrive at court, GSL security staff would not allow him off the prison van wearing the suit, as it amounted to ‘a breach of his human rights’ and ‘broke the rules’.

Staff at HMP Woodhill breached defendant Barry McGlone’s human rights by sending him to court in a high visibility ‘clown suit’. Taxpayers were forced to foot a £70 taxi bill to deliver more suitable attire to Mr McGlone.

The costly hearing was about to be adjourned to another day when his barrister, Steven Evans, asked that, if a change of clothes could be provided, the hearing might continue.

So a taxi was called and travelled to HMP Woodhill to collect clothes - a grey singlet and jeans - so McGlone could be allowed off the prison bus and into the building and courtroom.

Michael Ellis, a Northampton-based barrister, said: ‘Who makes up these extraordinary rules? ‘It’s an outrageous abuse of strained public funds.

‘It would have been cheaper for someone to have gone to Primark to buy his clothes, rather than go to Milton Keynes by taxi and pick them up.

‘I would have done it myself, had someone asked.’

Mr Evans told Judge Thomas Corrie: ‘There have been difficulties this morning, as the defendant was not allowed off the bus because he was wearing the clown suit reserved for anybody who has a charge of escape on their record.

‘I was told he was going to be returned to prison, as it was a breach of his human rights to be seen in public in that suit and a breach of the rules, but I’m not sure what rules.

‘His clothes were put in a taxi and driven over here, so they are not of his choosing and he wants to apologise for his attire.’

Judge Corrie said: ‘Common sense usually prevails. The real problem is whether there was to be a trial and it may influence a jury. It won’t happen again.’

Speaking after the hearing, Mr Evans said: ‘It’s ironic that clothes which were designed to be seen were not actually seen by the prison authorities.

‘I’m not sure what rules it contravened.’

McGlone, of Occupation Road in Corby, pleaded guilty to escape and assault and was sentenced to a total of eight months’ detention.

McGlone was arrested after assaulting a drinker outside a Northamptonshire pub.

CCTV footage caught him punching John McArthur outside the Village Inn, Corby, on August 17.

At Corby police station, an officer released his handcuffs and let him into the yard for fresh air.

But McGlone jumped on to a garage roof and ran off.

Rebecca Wade, prosecuting, said that several days later McGlone’s father called to say his son, in hospital with a fractured heel and ankle ligament damage from his leap, wanted to hand himself in.

Judge Corrie said: ‘Those who escape from lawful custody, especially when there’s a breach of trust, and the officer was being kind to you, can only result in a custodial sentence.’

Steven Evans, defending McGlone, said: ‘It was an impulsive act and he recognises it was stupid.’

The case carries echoes of a previous debacle when in June, a prison van spent three hours on a 110-mile round trip from Cambridge to convey a prisoner 200 yards across the road .

The journey, from Northampton Crown Court to the town’s Magistrates’ Court across Upper Mounts, would have taken less than a minute by foot.

A police spokesman said at the time: ‘It would be inappropriate for prisoners to walk in a public area while in custody for many reasons, including public safety and the prisoner’s human rights.’

College bans ‘Christmas’ and ‘Easter’ from calendar for fear of offending ethnic students.

College bans ‘Christmas’ and ‘Easter’ from calendar for fear of offending ethnic students

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:26 PM on 16th September 2008

Yorkshire Coast College has re-branded Christmas and Easter as ‘end of term breaks’

A college has renamed the traditional Christmas and Easter breaks in a bid to avoid offending students from other religions.

The college’s new calendar shows that both of the traditional holiday periods have now been re-branded as ‘end of term breaks’.

Critics have complained that the decision by Yorkshire Coast College is nothing more than ‘political correctness’.

Tory MP Robert Goodwill said: ‘I have heard that some people refer to the Christmas period as the Winterval, which is worse. This is absolutely barmy.

‘We are a Christian country and, to be honest, religious tolerance in this country is about respecting other people’s religious beliefs.’

‘We live in a country where there is a mutual respect for religious beliefs.

‘School terms are traditionally separated by Christmas and Easter and they should be referred to as such.

‘They are petrified that they offend the minority but what they are doing is offending the majority.

‘It’s political correctness gone mad and I am disappointed that it’s from an edict from Ofsted.’

The college, based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire offers a range of courses concentrating on training for ‘life skills’ such as Engineering, Motor Vehicle Training and IT.

The college insists that the decision is in line with Ofsted guidelines and has been made to ‘increase inclusion and diversity’.

It circulates the internal year planner annually to 150 teaching staff and up to 50 other workers to inform them of important dates such as term times and training days.

A spokeswoman for the college said: ‘Every school and college, wherever located, is responsible for educating its learners who will live and work in a country which is diverse in terms of cultures, religions or beliefs, ethnicities and social backgrounds.

‘All employees at Yorkshire Coast College are encouraged to closely follow guidelines set out by Ofsted for the promotion of equality and diversity.

‘We constantly review the ways in which we communicate, to ensure that we do not discriminate, and part of those reviews means that we have stopped referring to the Christmas Break and Easter Break and we now have End of Term Break.’

However, Ofsted today denied this. A spokesperson said: ‘Ofsted inspection guidance for colleges makes no reference whatsoever to the observance of religious festivals; there is no ‘edict’ from Ofsted.’

Council orders man to take down Army flag flying outside his house… because it’s ‘advertising’

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 12:21 PM on 16th September 2008

A patriot flying the British Army flag outside his house was told by council killjoys to take it down - because they considered it advertising.

Dave Dingvean today branded the order to remove the military colours as ‘treacherous’.

Mr Dingvean, 46, a volunteer for the British Army Association who raises money for the charity, was told any national flag was acceptable - but not those of our nation’s armed forces.

Furious: Dave Dingvean branded the council’s order to take down the Army flag as ‘treacherous’

And if the demolition contractor failed to comply, council bosses said he would face enforcement action which could end up in court.

Outraged Mr Dingvean, from Tolleshunt Major near Maldon, Essex, said: ‘A friend gave it to me and I decided to fly it to support our troops.

‘Someone must have seen it and reported me because within two days I had a letter from the council telling me to take it down.

‘They said only a certain type of flag is permitted to be flown - any national or state flag is allowed.

‘So I can fly the flag of Iraq, Baghdad or Afghanistan but not the Army flag. It’s ridiculous - it’s a show of support.

‘It’s a cause I feel strongly about.’

In protest, Mr Dingvean is now flying the national standard of Saudi Arabia on a flagpole outside his semi-detached bungalow, as he is flabbergasted this is allowed under the rules.

He added: ‘This is treacherous. It is petty minded - they are not thinking about the troops. No one in the village has complained to me.’

A council spokesman spokesman confirmed that under the Town and Country Planning Regulations 2007, only a certain type of flag as stated by the Department for Communities and Local Government is permitted to be flown.

He added: ‘Unfortunately, this flag is not one of them and the council have advised the resident that this is the case.

‘The council would be more than willing to advise residents on such issues in the future.’

Hory Clap! Dems just don’t get it at all

h/t to Frank J

We don’t need any silly rules like the Constitution,
we have our feelings and that’s enough!


Supreme Court Update, September 5, 2008

60% of Voters Say Supreme Court Should Base Rulings on Constitution

Do I even need to go on? How disgusting, how heart breaking, how utterly skull fucked is that? 4 out of 10 don’t have a SINGLE CLUE what the USA is all about. But yes, I must continue. Let’s see where those 40% live.

During his acceptance speech last night at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota, John McCain told the audience, “We believe in a strong defense, work, faith, service, a culture of life, personal responsibility, the rule of law, and judges who dispense justice impartially and don’t legislate from the bench.” Most American voters (60%) agrees and says the Supreme Court should make decisions based on what is written in the constitution, while 30% say rulings should be guided on the judge’s sense of fairness and justice. The number who agree with McCain is up from 55% in August.

While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

Bullseye. The Party of Feeewings, woh woh woh Feewings, woh woh woh Feewings, again in my heart ... . We are DOOMED! But check out those numbers again because it’s EVEN WORSE: 29% of dems want the rule of law, 49% want the rule of emotion, which means 22% - 1 in 5 - don’t even have an opinion. How can you not have an opinion on this? To paraphrase Rachel Ray, “How dumb is that?” (at least the nitwit quotient of the GOP is only 7% on this one in comparison. Phew!)

Agenda Driven?

In terms of how the Supreme Court currently makes decisions, just 42% of voters think the justices rule from what is in the Constitution. Thirty-percent (30%) say they are guided by a sense of fairness and justice. Democrats are more likely than Republicans and unaffiliated voters to believe the justices base rulings on the Constitution.

The survey also found that 65% of voters think the Supreme Court justices have their own political agendas. That number has changed little over the past month. Just 18% believe the judges remain impartial when making decisions.

Ok, so overall Americans aren’t TOTALLY stupid. Should have been a party breakdown on these percents too. But did you catch the previous line? Given such recent decisions like Kelo, the watered down Heller decision, and quite a number of others that were obviously activist and/or just plain WRONG, the Dems think the SCOTUS is sticking to the Constitution. In that case, what do they think ACTUAL judicial activism would look like? Hory Clap on a silver platter.

Polling data brought to you by Rasmussen Reports, “the most compromised comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.”

More Lunacy From the LunarNuts @ The UN. In Other Words, It’s Moonbat Time.

United Nations raises temperature in the office to fight climate change

By Tom Leonard in New York
Last Updated: 6:01pm BST 09/09/2008

The United Nations has been attempting to cut global warming by raising the summertime temperature inside its New York headquarters and forcing occupants to wear lighter clothes.

A month-long experiment approved by the secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, to raise the thermostat throughout much of the building from 72 to 77 degrees was so successful that it may become a more long-term policy, said the UN.

Diplomatic dress codes were relaxed as many male staff got rid of their jackets and ties, and women chose sleeveless outfits. Temperatures in the often windowless conference rooms, where most of the negotiating goes on were set slightly lower at 75 degrees.

The initiative, designed to show the UN was serious about curbing energy use that contributed to global warming, saved about 30 million pounds of steam used in the glass-fronted 1952 building’s cooling system.

A UN spokesman said this was the equivalent of 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or 710 transatlantic return flights.

“In view of these concrete results, the secretary general has decided to expand the Cool UN initiative until September 15,” said the spokesman.

A similar wintertime project is already under discussion and officials believe they could save $1 million annually if the temperature changes throughout the year.

However, the thermostats will be on full when world leaders descend on the 39-storey building for their annual ministerial meeting later this month.

UN officials previously said that the deciding factor in whether the arrangement becomes permanent would be its effect on productivity.

Some diplomats welcomed a more uncomfortable room temperature if it discouraged colleagues from dragging out interminable and ultimately fruitless negotiations late into the evening.

However, others warned that diplomats without suits were not taken seriously and that warmer temperatures encouraged delegates’ minds to wander, apparently making them less willing to compromise.

Prisoner bosses spend £25,000 on lunchboxes for Ramadan
Muslim terrorists and criminals have been given £25,000 worth of lunch boxes to keep their meals warm during Ramadan.

Last Updated: 12:05PM BST 04 Sep 2008

The bright yellow metal containers were issued to nearly 250 inmates in London’s Belmarsh Prison, which is home to a number of convicted and suspected terrorists, including Abu Hamza, serving seven years for incitement to murder and racial hatred.

The boxes allow prisoners to keep meals warm until darkness when they are allowed to break their fasting period during Ramadan, which started on Monday.

Prison officers at Belmarsh have criticised the move, fearing the 18in long containers, which resemble a tool box, could be used as a weapon.

One prison source told The Sun: “It’s madness to allow dangerous prisoners to have a metal box with handles. These are not petty criminals - these are hardened terrorists.

“In the past they have been given the opportunity to have a container like a small cool box but these things are just a lavish upgrade.

A Prison Service spokesperson said: “The purpose of prison is to deprive offenders of their liberty as a punishment for crimes committed against society. It is not there to restrict religious beliefs and practice.

“HMP Belmarsh provide flasks for the Ramadan fast which allows Muslim prisoners to keep food warm for the Iftar (evening meal). They are re-usable and will be used for years to come. Flasks are the most cost effective way of meeting this requirement without disruption to the running of the prison.”

yeah, what they said

“This is the blade by which politics turns to bloodshed.”



I am utterly disgusted with the MSM. And the violent lunatics on the left, both the ones that blog and the ones that violently protest while also attempting to murder children.

So is Mischa.

So is Ace. And with mighty good reason.

Bitch slap the next journalist you meet, just on general principles. There aren’t enough horse whips in the world to dole out the floggings deserved.

Also worth a quick read is First Things First, from whom I snagged the header, who dares to look into the madness that is The Daily Kos, and comes away with the core mindset there from the comments:

Are you telling me you would not destroy the love a family holds for one another, even if it meant letting someone who would destroy the constitution become president?

None of use would use these tactics in a perfect world. It is not a perfect world. It is a fallen world. We have to judge costs and benefits, not moral absolutes. I know this is the way to fanaticism and destruction—believe me I do. But, when we face opponents such as the ones we face . . . what else is there for us to do?

What choice do we have? When faced with monsters, we have to be monstrous ourselves.

These people are batshit insane. Lock them up, throw away the key, then drown them.

ARE PEOPLE JUST BORN STUPID LIKE MY MIL, OR DO THEY LEARN IT OVER YEARS? IS IT A GIFT?

Just how darn stupid can people get? Well as it happens, very stupid. Very stupid indeed.
For one example and there are many here, this woman is calling about a grey squirrel in the belief that the greys are rare.  Good Grief Charlie Brown. I’m not a Brit and even I know it’s the RED that’s near extinction. Driven there by the more aggresive greys.  But that isn’t the issue.  These folks are calling 999, the Brit equiv. of our 911 with the silliest damn things and of course they tie up the line when they do.  So really, this isn’t funny and isn’t being posted under humor.  Some people ... $£"£"%&&^$

Dutch withdraw spy from Iran because of ‘impending US attack’
The Dutch intelligence service has pulled an agent out of an “ultra-secret operation” spying on Iran’s military industry because spymasters in Netherlands believe a United States air attack was imminent.
By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels
Last Updated: 9:24AM BST 01 Sep 2008

According to reports in the newspaper De Telegraaf, the country’s intelligence service, the AIVD, has stopped an espionage operation aimed at infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in Iran.

“The operation, described as extremely successful, was halted recently in connection with plans for an impending US air attack on Iran,” said the report.

“Targets would also be bombed which were connected with the Dutch espionage action.”

“Well placed” sources told the paper that a top agent had been recalled recently “because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft”.

“Information from the AIVD operation has in recent years been shared with the American CIA secret service.”

Brig Gen Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of the Iranian armed forces, warned at the weekend that military attacks against Iran would trigger a Third World War.

“The exorbitant demands of the US leaders and the global Zionism which have created the current situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and Caucasus are gradually directing the world to the edge of the cliff,” he said.

The US has refused to rule out a military attack against Iran if its government continues to enrich uranium as part of its civilian nuclear programme, which the West suspects has the clandestine objective of developing atomic weapons.

Iran has warned it would close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the Gulf and a major oil shipping route, if it is attacked.

On Friday, the Israel newspaper Ma’ariv reported that Israel has stepped up preparations for a contingency plan to attack Iran, should diplomatic efforts, via the United Nations, fail to derail Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons programme.

Apologises to Libya for colonial rule. Italy says we’re sorry please forgive us and take a billion.

Ok, this is fine. If the Italian conscience is soothed that’s ok.
Now, I want immediate reparations from France for the Germans in payment for the hundreds of years that France kept Germany isolated and refused the making of a united country.  All the wars fought in Europe by France on German soil causing the loss of life and property.  I concede the point that it was also hundreds of years ago but hey, with Italy setting the stage.....

Then the black lobby that wants reperations can sue the tribal chiefs in Afrika , pay out probably in what?  What do those folks use for money in the deepest heart of the black continent?  Lets see, who else might be entitled?

Hey, why not set up something like a world body, not as bureaucratic as the UN but leaders from around the world can meet once a year in some huge stadium
and all can apologize to one another for all sorts of slights both real and imagined.  Even bring in muslims to show diversity and inclusiveness.
And if they want to, they can even slap the hell out of each other as long as they leave the rest of us out of it.  Oh yeah, no taxpayer money involved.
They pay their own way.  Well it’s the thought that counts.

Silvio Berlusconi apologises to Libya for colonial rule
Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has apologised to Libya for 30 years of colonial rule and agreed to pay £2.5 billion in reparations.

As part of the deal Italy will also help build a 1,500 mile pan Libyan motorway across the north of the country linking it with neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia.

In return Libyan leader colonel Muammar Gaddafi has promised to crack down on thousands of illegal immigrants who leave his country every year and cross the Mediterranean to Italy.

The compensation deal, which was signed by both leaders in the Libyan city of Benghazi, is to be spread over 25 years and also involves train, technology and other infrastructure projects.

Berlusconi said: ‘“This payment goes towards the tragic and dramatic moments of Italian occupation and for the deep wounds that have affected many Libyan families.

“It is a complete and moral compensation for the damage inflicted on Libya by Italian during the colonial occupation and we can now look forward to working together.’’

Italy conquered Libya in 1911 following a war with Turkey and during the 30 year occupation 20,000 Libyans were killed in battle and in camps while thousands were deported.

In 1969 when Gaddafi took over following a military coup thousands of Italians who had made Libya their home were expelled and there have been sporadic incidents of tension during the last few years.

During the height of Libyan-US tension a Scud missile was fired at the Italian island of Lampedusa in 1986.

While two years ago Italian cabinet minister Roberto Calderoli wore a T-shirt of a cartoon poking fun at the prophet Mohammed and eleven people were killed in rioting in Benghazi.

The deal was signed in a tent and gifts were also exchanged with Berlusconi giving Gaddafi a silver lion and two pens while in return he received a white linen suit and a green shirt, symbolising the colours of the Libyan flag.

During the signing media tycoon Berlusconi also whipped out a copy of one of his glossy magazines and showed Gaddafi a photo shoot which featured him and his family taken at his Sardinian villa.

Berlusconi added: “We have signed a historic agreement and now we will have fewer illegal immigrants from the Libyan coast and more gas and oil from them which is the best.’’

As part of the deal Berlusconi also returned via the hold of his private jet - a Roman marble statute of the Venus of Cyrene taken during the Italian invasion 95 years ago.

(Wait a minute. A Roman statute?  Did the proof reader get it wrong or did I?  Statue Anyway, what’s with that return?  What. Like most Libyans will know and appreciate the art? Doubt it, really I do.)

News For The Gullible

Chinese Cat Sprouts Wings



It’s sad really, that Fox News, the one news outlet that even tries to avoid a huge leftist slant, has fallen so low that they now run stories usually reserved for the gossip rags. What’s next, a recurring series on what Bat Boy has been up to lately? Secret inside scoops that Obama is actually an alien? Hey, I’d believe that!

While most cats are known for their ability to land on their feet, some in China may soon be able to glide to safety on their mysterious wings.  A tabby from the Qingyan province in China recently sprouted a pair of fur-covered wings on his back during a hot-weather spell, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported.  Immediately, the unique kitty became a spectacle to behold, as visitors flocked to see the unusual feline.  One cat owner, identified only as Feng, claimed her pet’s wings were the result of stress from too many females desiring to mate with him, the Mail reported.

But the owner later grew fearful that the tabby would either be stolen by envious admirers or that it would fly away and decided to cut one of the two flappers off, World Entertainment News Network said.

Cats with wings can be explained through several scientific explanations, including leg deformities, huge mats of hair or a condition known as feline cutaneous asthenia or FCA, which causes the cat’s skin to grow in heavy folds on its back or shoulders, online magazine Cryptozoology reported.

Muslim council chiefs ban ALL members from ‘tea and sandwiches’ in meetings which take place during Ramadan

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:04 PM on 28th August 200

Muslim council leaders have sparked outrage after trying to ban all councillors eating in meetings until sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.

Politicians have hit out after the move to impose hardline Islamic rules on non-Muslim colleagues throughout September.

The bombshell has been dropped by Labour chiefs of the notoriously loony Tower Hamlets Council in east London.

The storm was sparked by an e-mail sent to all councillors this week highlighting arrangements for Town Hall committee meetings next month, which marks the Muslim fasting period of Ramadan.
The memo said that new council leader Lutfur Rahman and his deputy, Siraj Islam, had requested that meetings be kept to a minimum to accommodate fasting councillors.

They have also urged all other councillors to resist eating until the breaking of the fast at sunset.

Cllr Stephanie Eaton, leader of the Lib Dem group on the left-wing East End authority, said she would be ignoring the new Ramadan regime.

She insisted the new Labour leadership was favouring one religious group over others.

Cllr Eaton said: ‘The Liberal Democrats have enormous respect for the contribution of all faith groups and cultures to the life of the community of Tower Hamlets.

‘But we fervently believe that the rules of any one religion should not be imposed upon others.’

It is the first time such a request has been made and it comes as Ramadan falls earlier this year during the longer daylight hours.

(bet it won’t be the last either)

Council bosses have also ordered that the town hall’s business agenda should be reduced, with only seven scheduled committee meetings for the entire month, to deal with the Ramadan restrictions.

(Sure thing. Give in to keep the peace on another issue and keep on toadying. Kick em out of this country is the answer. They DO NOT BELONG HERE!)

Officers have also been barred from arranging any more and been told to explore ways of dropping some of the scheduled seven.

Those going ahead generally start at about 6.30pm.

So with sunset due to fall just after 7.30pm at the beginning of September and around 6.30pm by the end of Ramadan, the breaking of the fast will take place during meetings.

At those points, there will be 45-minute adjournments to allow members to eat and pray, council leaders have ordered.

But it is the arrangements for the food and other refreshments that has angered Cllr Eaton and the rest of her party, which includes two Muslim councillors.

Normally tea, coffee and sandwiches are set aside for councillors to nibble at during evening meetings.

But during Ramadan these will be reduced and complemented by special Muslim food packs containing chicken, lamb and vegetarian snacks.

But in his email, John Williams, the council’s head of democratic services, said: ‘It is requested that members do not partake of any refreshments until after the Iftar refreshments are served.’

Cllr Eaton said that was going too far. Speaking on behalf of all her stunned party colleagues, she said: ‘I was rather disconcerted to see that the arrangements put in place for Ramadan, which we support for Muslim colleagues, have been imposed upon all councillors. 

‘We object to the request that non-Muslim councillors observe the fasting rules for Ramadan.

‘This sends out the wrong message to our community.Our community consists of a huge number of different religions, all of which should be valued, and no one religion should be accorded more status or influence than others.

‘Freedom of belief is an important human right, and we Liberal Democrat councillors, Muslim and non-Muslim, agree that this request is inappropriate.’

Cllr Eaton has also written to Town Hall bosses about her concerns that their move ‘will not enhance community cohesion and asking for their reassurance that no faith is given any particular status or priority in the operation or decisions of the council’.

Council bosses said their arrangements were in place ‘where it is not reasonable to expect members observing Ramadan, and who are required to attend a formal committee or other meeting, to travel home in time for sundown in order to break fast and undertake prayers’.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar looney calendar and the holiest of the four holy months. It begins with the sighting of the new moon after which all physically mature and healthy Muslims are obliged to abstain from all food, drink, gum chewing, any kind of tobacco use, and any kind of sexual contact between dawn and sunset.

Police officers told to mind their language.  (an oooold story from 2001. but still current)

Gee, this story was three years before we moved here to the wife’s native country to look after her aged and decrepit mom. And that was just her brain at the time.
Now then people, I have very much edited this before posting so do not simply go with my edited version.  Use the link for the whole story.  I’m simply posting it here because it was listed as related to a previous Moonbat post I have.  There may be some fraction, some little justification for rules with regard to
offensive language and behavior.  I do not dispute that and I very much doubt the “man in the street” does either.  However, as one officer has said, they’re
afraid to open their mouths in case they offend someone.  And you just know in this politically correct nightmare the left has been allowed to construct, anything at all can be found to offend someone, somewhere.

Not too long ago and I believe I mentioned it, our milkman went on vacation for a week.  We received a notice informing us that our “MILKPERSON”
was going to be away for a week.  Milkperson. Imagine that.  How fraken stupid!

Stay Tuned and lots-a-luck not getting yourself sued by someone you might offend.

Story from:
Paul Stokes
The Telegraph, June 2001.

The 16-page document drawn up by Greater Manchester Police sets out words and phrases deemed unsuitable and likely to offend. In his foreword to The Power of Language David Wilmot, the Chief Constable of Manchester, draws attention to the importance of using appropriate language. He says the aim is to protect the 6,900 officers, 3,240 civilian employees and 685 special constables from making unintentional mistakes and help them interact within the community.

He said: “We want everyone to respect the views and feelings of others, and to use language that doesn’t offend.”

The term “deaf and dumb” will be replaced by “deaf without speech” and people will no longer be “wheelchair bound” but “wheelchair users”. Political correctness extends to policemen becoming known only as police officers, a spokesman as a spokesperson, foreman as a supervisor and workmen as workers.

Officers are warned against using obviously offensive words such as cretin, spastic, cripple or mongol or even “people with special needs” in relation to the disabled. Pejorative expressions such as happy clappy, bible basher, God botherer and God Squad are also outlawed when describing people with religious convictions.

It is pointed out that homophobic words like queer, poofter, fag, dyke and butch cause offence to gays and lesbians as do phrases such as “gays often do those types of jobs”, “a woman with lesbian tendencies”, “a person of the other persuasion” or “he or she bats for the other side”.

Officers are urged to be extra sensitive when dealing with cross dressers, transsexuals and transvestites in case they cause offence and to try to understand the differences between them. A senior officer with more than 20 years’ police experience in Manchester said: “This document is a waste of time. Police have enough on their plates these days without adding to the problems.

“This document makes out that we are all idiots who need to be told how to address people. We are human beings who are trained to deal with tricky situations, this report makes a mockery of that. We’re scared to open our mouths in case we offend anybody.”

‘Man on the street’ is offensive to women.  MAJOR MOONBAT STUFF HERE. OH BOY. can I say boy?

I ONCE ASKED WHERE THIS SILLY CRAP IS GONNA END. AND WHEN?  WELL, I GUESS NEVER, EVER.  AND THE BRITS WILL LEAD THE WAY IT SEEMS.
ACTUALLY, THE POWERS THAT BE AT ANY TIME THINK UP THIS OUTRAGIOUS CRAP.  I VERY MUCH DOUBT THE AVERAGE “MAN ON THE STREET” EVER THINKS ABOUT THIS.  I MEAN, IN ORDER TO BE OFFENDED THEY (PTBs) HAVE TO TELL PPL THEY ARE BEING OFFENDED.  EVEN IF THEY NEVER KNEW IT.
AND IF ANY FEMALE ANYWHERE IS OFFENDED BY THIS VERY OLD PHRASE, PLEASE.  STOP BREATHING NOW. RIGHT THIS MINUTE.  JERKS!

The phrase “man on the street” should not be used in case it offends women, according to a politically-correct language guide for council staff.

The document claims the popular saying is based on the assumption that the world is male and makes the views or work of women invisible.

It suggests that town hall officers should use “general public” a positive and less offensive alternative.

The guide also kills off the phrase “manning the switchboard” and suggests “staffing” or “running the switchboard” instead.

The suggestions, put forward by Chichester District Council, West Sussex, have been criticised as an example of “repulsive” political correctness.

Tony Colpoys, chairman of Ebernoe parish council, West Sussex, said: “This kind of thing really gets my goat - it’s not as though anybody in their right mind would believe that the “man in the street” referred solely to the male sex. It’s just stupid, I’ve never heard anything like it.

“I think political correctness is one of the most ghastly things about our society - it’s one of the most repulsive things ever to be invented.”

The council said that the document, which is distributed to all staff and council members, is not a rulebook but a guide to help staff and members find the correct words.

A spokesman said: “We introduced the guide because as community leaders we must be aware of what modern society requires of the public sector. This includes the sensitivity of various individuals and groups, and current thinking in society in general.

“It is easy to make fun of individual phrases or words but what we are seeking to do is to be more sensitive and responsive to the needs of others in our society.”

The seven-page guide offers other suggestions, including avoiding phrases like “old woman”, “old fool” and “old codger”, which, the council said, make old people seem fussy, stupid and dependent. It suggests simply using the phrase “old person” instead.

Have Your Say: Is the phrase ‘man on the street’ offensive to women?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
