The UK Blows

Two people have died, hundreds of thousands of homes have been left without power and rush-hour commuters suffered transport chaos as hurricane-force conditions battered Britain.

Winds of almost 100mph pushed across the South West, South, South East, the Midlands and the East of England on Monday morning, killing two people and causing disruption for hundres of thousands of people.

A man in his 50s was killed when a tree fell on the Peugeot 307 car he was driving in Watford, Hertfordshire, at around 6.50am. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old girl was killed in Hever, Kent, when a tree blew on to the caravan where she was sleeping at 7.18am.

In East Sussex, RNLI coastguards had to stand down the search for a 14-year-old boy who was swept into the sea while playing in the surf in Newhaven.

Up to 220,000 homes suffered power cuts as St Jude’s storm, UK Power Networks said.

Falling trees and other debris covering railway tracks caused travel misery for thousands of commuters, with trains and London Underground services suspended. The port of Dover in Kent had to shut, more than 130 flights at Heathrow Airport were cancelled and many roads were impassable due to fallen trees. 

Train and flight schedules disrupted nationwide.

1:16 pm

Here is a quick update on the latest developments on the trains.

More than 100 trees have fallen on lines in the south of England with engineers busy working to get services up and running again.

Michael Roberts, the director-general of the Rail Delivery Group, said: “Train operators and Network Rail are working together to get services back up and running as quickly as possible following this morning’s disruption.

“With over 100 trees having fallen on rail lines across the South of England, the safety of passengers and railway staff is our top priority. People should continue to check the NRE website before they travel.”

1:07 pm

With lunchtime approaching its a good time for a round-up of everything that has happened this morning.

Here are the latest headlines:

A 17-year-old girl and a man in his 50s have been killed in separate incidents by falling trees
A 14-year-old boy called Dylan Alkins is feared dead after being swept into the sea in Newhaven, Sussex last night
Three homes in Hounslow, west London, have been partially destroyed after a tree fell onto a gas main and caused an explosion
The Cabinet Office in central London was damaged this morning when a crane came crashing down
About 270,000 homes were left without power across the UK after damage to power lines
The Environment Agency has issued 12 flood warnings and 127 flood alerts
Train services up and down the country have been badly affected - check latest information with operator
The storm has now passed the UK and is heading towards Holland

I feel for them, truly. But in a way their weather emergencies are almost quaint, because the country is so small. “Massive storm approaching, save the cheese!”, all England goes into panic/prep mode, the storm hits, and in 3 hours the sun is out again. In America, the storm hits somewhere in Florida or Texas and stays around for a national tour that lasts a week or longer.

We get entire towns wiped out by tornadoes. They get some trees down. But to be fair, they do get some incredible wave action down at the beach. But it’s SAFE giant waves; people pack up a lunch and run down there to watch.

And to give the Devil his final due, they do get situations we just never see ...

thugs attacked an American student because he was ‘obviously not local’ & a Yank?

I have no idea what part of London he was in, but I know that even I can remember when streets here and in London especially, were safer than they are now.  Could be he was in one of those areas that are just no go and he and his friend were not aware. Who knows?
It sure would be helpful if sound was available. I can’t believe he’d pick a fight with five guys and expect to come out okay.  The article mentions Asian thugs although it is a bit hard to tell in places.

Brits that post comments on American stories always like to say, Only in America.  Like they’ve thought up something new.  Well, this happens so often here that I reversed things and commented only in the UK, but I bet the Mail won’t publish that.

This is the shocking moment a group of thugs attacked an American student because he was ‘obviously not local’ and left him scarred for life.

Francesco Hounye had been in the UK for just three days when he was set upon by the gang, who smashed a bottle in his face as well as kicking and punching him in the vicious assault.

Detailed CCTV footage captured the attack on 22-year-old Mr Hounye, who was left covered in blood and needed 23 stitches in his face.

old man’s wife dies, so carer’s hours are cut. there’s only him left. she sues and wins.

How’s this for a story?
I can not make heads or tails on this.  Maybe something has been left out because it makes no sense whatever.
I feel sorry for the old guy.  In his condition and at his age, he shouldn’t have to face this.  I’d really like to know what the judge may have heard that hasn’t been reported, if there is anything to know that isn’t in the article. 

Stumped by this one.

The amount in US dollars is actually in excess of $5,658.00, because as you read you’ll find he must pay more than £3500.

Pensioner forced to pay £3,500 in compensation to carer for constructive dismissal because her hours were cut when his wife died

· George Lomas, 77, was taken to employment tribunal by Jayne Wakefield
· Carer’s hours were cut from 30 hours to 16 after Mr Lomas’s wife Rose died
· Ms Wakefield said she was forced to resign sued for constructive dismissal
· Judge rules carer was unfairly treated and orders pensioner to pay £3,500

By Lucy Crossley

A grieving pensioner has been forced to pay thousands of pounds in compensation to his carer who sued him for constructive dismissal after her hours were cut, because his wife died.

George Lomas, 77, was told at the funeral of his wife Rose that he would be taken to an employment tribunal by carer Jayne Wakefield.
The 55-year-old, who Mr Lomas said he had treated ‘like a daughter’, resigned after having her hours cut when Mr Lomas’s wife Rose, 76, passed away earlier this year.

East Cheshire Council paid Ms Wakefield for working 30 hours a week over five years to care for Mrs Lomas who had Parkinson’s disease.
But she quit and launched legal proceedings against the frail pensioner after her hours were slashed to 16 when Mrs Lomas died on March 4.

Shockingly, the grandfather-of-one said Ms Wakefield approached him the day after his wife’s funeral on March 13, demanding redundancy money.
Mr Lomas still offered to pay Ms Wakefield for the reduced hours for his care but she claimed she was forced to resign on March 20 after ‘nothing was put in writing’.

On Friday a Birmingham employment tribunal awarded Ms Wakefield £3,569 in compensation for constructive dismissal after a judge agreed she was unfairly treated.

Mr Lomas will now have to stump up the bill as he is classed as Ms Wakefield’s employer because the council stopped paying for Mrs Lomas’s care following her death.

The retired accountant was order to pay £1,097.65 damages for breach of contract for failing to notify termination of her employment.
He was also told he must pay a further £2,472.62 in redundancy payments.

‘And when she pushed a letter through the door saying she was suing me - my world fell apart.

‘I will never forgive her. How was I supposed to give notice?

‘You don’t have notice when your wife is going to die.’

The father-of-one said he does not know how he will now afford to pay the compensation and accused the council of ‘washing their hands of the issue’.

He added: ‘I can’t understand how I’m liable.

angry taxpayers ?  her view is ‘f*** the lot of them.’ benefits mum and 11 kids

The headline in the morning hard copy read as follows.

I USE ARMY OF SHOPLIFTERS TO SURVIVE, SAYS MOTHER OF 11 ON £60,000 IN BENEFITS ($97,055.64)

That’s in addition to the home that she is provided with to house that family.

Here’s the on line copy.  Oh ... she went on TV for a show called, “On Benefits and Proud” Problem is you see, she admitted to buying stolen property.
Take a look.  Great example for the next generation she is bringing up.

‘Everybody has to get stuff off shoplifters’: Mother-of-11 starring in On Benefits And Proud is questioned by police ‘after being filmed paying for stolen goods’

Heather Frost, 37, has 11 children and gets £900 in benefits every week
She appears in a new documentary and offers her side of the story
But she admitted on camera she relied on shoplifters to get cheap goods
Gloucestershire Police say they have interviewed her over the comments

By Luke Salkeld

Police are investigating the ‘Fagin’ lifestyle of a jobless mother of 11 who claims she only survives thanks to a network of shoplifters.

Heather Frost, who has never worked and is reputed to claim up to £60,000 a year in benefits, was filmed buying goods from sellers at her front door, including washing powder and clothes.

‘Everybody has to get their goods off shoplifters don’t they?’ she said.

Earlier this year, it emerged the 37-year-old and her family were to be given a £500,000 eco-home paid for by the taxpayer.

Now she is causing outrage again after she appeared to praise shoplifters who supply her with cheap groceries.

After paying a ‘seller’ for the items at her front door, she was seen in the documentary stacking her purchases in the kitchen.

She then told an interviewer: ‘I couldn’t survive without these.

‘I’d be lost without my shoplifters because they bring my washing powder. They do it at half price what the shop does.’

Miss Frost was being featured in On Benefits And Proud, which was made in the wake of widespread coverage of her plans to move into a brand new taxpayer-funded home with her family.

But her comments have prompted a police investigation into her shopping habits at home in Churchdown, Gloucestershire.

A spokesman for Gloucestershire Police said: ‘We are aware of the comments that were made on the Channel 5 programme regarding shoplifting and the purchase of stolen goods.

‘A 37-year-old woman has been officially interviewed after a caution at a police station and an investigation is ongoing.’

The documentary about families whose lives are supported by the state claimed Miss Frost receives £60,000 a year in benefits.

She said on the show: ‘Yes, it is my choice to have a large family but there is no law to say how many kids you can have.’

Miss Frost was due to move into a specially built six-bedroom home after she complained that her existing home was not safe.

Just weeks later she was refused the new home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, when it was said not to meet her needs.

The 1,850 sq ft detached property was designed with state-of-the-art technology to cut electricity bills – but it has now been given to another family.

She currently lives with her children, aged from three to 21, in two terrace houses that have been knocked together.

In the film, the foul-mouthed 37-year-old from Gloucestershire is seen telling her friends that as far as angry taxpayers are concerned, her view is ‘f*** the lot of them.’

Frost, who receives the equivalent of £60,000 a year, is now looking forward to a council-funded renovation of her current home, which will see the two three-bedroom houses she currently occupies knocked together to create a permanent six-bedroom house.

But, despite the vast expense to taxpayers, who spend a staggering £100 million on benefits every day according to Government figures, Frost, who has never had a full time job, says the system is put there to help people like her.

‘Yes, people don’t agree with the benefits system and s*** like that but the benefits system is put there to help people that can’t go out and work,’ she asserts.

‘Yes, it’s my choice and my decision to have a large family but there’s no law out there to say how many kids you can have or can’t have. There’s people out there with more kids than me, that’s my argument.’

She adds: ‘Fred West or someone who murdered someone wouldn’t have got as much s*** in the press as what I got. 

‘You only get what you’re entitled to. We have to budget. You know, a weekly shop costs quite a bit, then gas and electric for both houses - it’s all got to come out of it.

‘By the end of the week, you can guarantee you’re skint. We can’t afford to take the kids to Spain or on posh holidays.’

travellers camp in hospital car park. hosp. is seeking legal advice when guns are the answer

I really do believe there are many here at bmews, who are far more civilized than I am.  I say that because when it comes to these vermin, I continually suggest genocide as the only answer.  I know many of you draw a line, but I do not.
Here’s just another example of why it is I hate these folks with the heart of the most rabid Nazi. 

I pretty much feel the same about the left, who enable these scum.
So far in all my rants about these sub humans, and all the examples I have shared over the few years I have been doing this, so far I haven’t found anything quite as bad, and over the time here I have posted lots of very bad examples. 
But taking over a hospital parking lot has to rank among the worst, and it clearly shows you what these ppl are and how they think..  They are worthless degenerate scum, they should all be eliminated by any means, till there are none left. That includes their offspring over the age of 5. 

Oh yeah, just so ya know. A hospital spokesman says, “Legal advice is being sought.” Is it any wonder that these misfits do as they please and usually get away with it?

Read this one folks.  You may still not agree with my attitude or solution, but you can surly see what causes my total hate.  The time is long overdue for …

A FINAL SOLUTION TO THE GYPSY PROBLEM

‘We’re here on holiday’: French travellers who have caused chaos by setting up camp in hospital car park claim they are visiting from Paris and Nice

· Staff car park at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport blocked by caravans

· French travellers with 14 mobile homes say they’ll move on ‘shortly’

· Hundreds of NHS hospital staff were turned away from work this morning

· Hospital chiefs taking legal advice over how they might eject travellers

· Hospital visitor says: ‘Someone could suffer because a doctor is late.’

By Harriet Arkell

French travellers who prevented doctors from parking outside a hospital when they parked their caravans there say they are in the UK ‘on holiday’ and plan to go home soon.

Speaking from their mobile homes in the car park outside Newport’s Royal Gwent Hospital, one of the gypsies said: ‘We will not stay long - this is a holiday.  We live in Nice and Paris and will go home soon.’

News of their bizarre holiday choice comes a day after the Mail revealed how hordes of Roma travellers had been moved on by French police from camps in cities including Paris and Marseille.
The gypsies, who set up camp over the weekend with 14 caravans and an array of luxury cars including two Mercedes, a BMW X6, and a Volkswagen, blocked hundreds of NHS staff from parking outside the hospital, which is taking legal advice on how to move them on.

Hospital spokesman Julian Hayman said legal advice was being sought over how to eject the travellers but warned staff that the 300-space car park would be closed in the meantime, possibly for as long as three days.

When asked whether the hospital would have the power to forcibly eject the caravans, Mr Hayman told MailOnline: ‘We are in discussions at the moment with our legal team on that front.’

A hospital worker, who didn’t want to be named, said: ‘Finding a parking space is bad enough normally without this happening first thing.
‘I find it infuriating this situation can be allowed to continue until the families decide to move themselves on.

‘There are doctors and other medical staff who work on emergency cases around the clock.
‘They are being forced to park some distance away all because a group of French travellers fancied the spot to set up camp.’

her dogs kill girl, owner charged with causing suffering to dogs. this isn’t a joke

One for the books.

In essence, as reported elsewhere, the owner was charged officially with causing unnecessary suffering to her dogs.
Oh yeah … ooops. Forgot. Her dogs killed a young girl.  No suffering there of course.

When something like this can pass for justice, you know all is without question, finally lost. It isn’t as if she wasn’t warned in the past about how she kept her animals, but I guess when laws have no teeth, people just don’t pay much attention.

Owner of killer dogs walks free from court

The Evening Express

THE family of a 14-year-old girl savaged to death by four dogs said they were “disgusted” after the owner walked free from court with a suspended sentence.

Beverley Concannon kept one of her dogs, a big American bull mastiff, in a tiny cage where it went “stir crazy” along with two other pit bulls and another bull mastiff which were all kept cooped up in her council house.

The conditions led to them becoming stressed and “hyper aggressive” and they turned on Jade Lomas-Anderson at the house in Atherton, Greater Manchester on March 26.

The girl, who was on half-term school holidays and had stayed the night with Concannon’s daughter at the house, suffered “horrific” injuries “from head to toe”, Wigan Magistrates’ Court heard.

Pc Martin Burkinshaw, who was first on the scene after the 999 call, said: “I will never forget what I saw.”

Concannon, 45, who had been warned before about her aggressive dogs and how she kept them, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to bull mastiffs Buddy and Neo and Staffordshire bull terriers Ty and Sky between July 19 last year and March 25 this year.

Wigan Magistrates’ Court heard that she subjected the animals to “an environment that was detrimental to their well-being”.

She sat head down in the dock throughout the hearing just yards from Jade’s family, who broke into tears as the court heard distressing details of the incident.

But they marched out of court in unison as Concannon was told she would not be going to jail immediately.

The defendant, who is on benefits, was given a 16 week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to pay costs and a victim surcharge totalling £165. She was also banned from keeping dogs indefinitely.

she was discriminated against because of a disability. has memory loss, wants to be a cop?

Another update and what a story this is.

Don’t know what you will think, but I don’t believe a word this sack of lying crap says. And the judge ain’t much either.

Background.  PCSO - Police Community Support Officer

So this person probably a foreigner judging by the name, (Rachida Sobhi) wants to be a one of those PCSOs. Maybe it’s the uniform or she thought it might be better then working at a real job. Who knows.  Well, she applied and apparently got the job but, during a background check it was discovered she had a record.
So she lost the job.
But you know how it goes ... one is disappointed in life and so one sues or finds reasons or makes them up as to why they aren’t wanted.
So .... somehow it’s found she suffered (they ALWAYS are described as “suffering") memory loss.  So you see, she couldn’t tell em what she didn’t know, so now she suing.  And the judge buys it.

claiming she was discriminated against because of a disability
Well okay .... so what if in the performance of this job she lost her memory again. And again.  Plainly she isn’t fit for this kind of employment, assuming she is telling the truth. But no matter.  The way things work here ... bullshit wins.

Take a look.  What do you think?

Judge accepts sacked PCSO’s claim she had amnesia when she forgot to tell Scotland Yard of a previous theft conviction

Rachida Sobhi has successfully argued she did not know she had amnesia when she failed to declare a conviction for theft
She was denied a PC job - and has since been sacked - because she was reprimanded for failing to declare a conditional discharge for theft in 1991
Took Met Police to court after she was denied a role as a police constable, claiming she was discriminated against because of a disability
A preliminary hearing will decide whether Ms Sobhi knew she had amnesia when she filled out the form and if she should have mentioned it

By Anna Edwards

A sacked PCSO who is suing London’s Metropolitan Police for discrimination has successfully argued she did not know she had amnesia when she failed to declare a conviction for theft.

But a tribunal has reserved its decision on several key points that will determine whether her claims against the police force are ultimately successful.

Rachida Sobhi, 43, took the Metropolitan Police to court after she was denied a role as a police constable in December 2009, claiming she was discriminated against because of a disability.

She was denied the job - and has since been sacked - because she was reprimanded earlier that year for failing to declare a conditional discharge for theft in 1991.

But Ms Sohbi had since argued at the time she did not remember being arrested because she suffered dissociative amnesia stemming from personal trauma she had experienced around that time.

A preliminary hearing at the London Central Employment Tribunal today was tasked to determine whether Ms Sobhi knew she had amnesia when she filled out the security form and whether she should have mentioned that on the form.

Ms Sobhi said she wasn’t aware when she filled out the form and only had any recollection at all she might have been arrested when she was contacted by a vetting officer in February 2009, about two months after she filled in the security form, to ask why her fingerprints were in the police database.

‘For some strange reason… I had a couple of small flashes of memory - nothing else,” she said.

‘I still did not know of the existence of the dissociative amnesia then. I didn’t even know what on earth he was talking about.’

Miss Sobhi also told the hearing that she felt the Met did not support her after she discovered her memory loss.

‘I just had a feeling that some sort of assessment need to be done. It is not very nice experience to go through - they refused to provide me with medical assistance.

‘Without the help of my family and seeking psychiatric assessment I could have spent the rest of my life not knowing what was going on with my memory.

‘February 26 (2009) was the first time I was aware there was an allegation of theft that had resulted in the receipt of a conditional discharge.’

I am not posting the whole thing but you may want to read more at the link.
If she’s really got some kind of weird mental condition that is serious, would you want her on your police force?

Muslim Patrol’ said ‘kill the non-believers’ and threatened drinkers .. update

I posted the story some months back about a group of self styled defenders of public morals, demanding sharia law and abusing folks in public who were drinking beer etc.

Well, the verminous idiots have finally been in court and why iy takes so long is anyone’s guess.

Why any were even allowed to be out of jail or better yet not shot after the threats they made, just shows how stupid the system is that will not protect itself.  You have to take these guys seriously, because they damn well taken themselves that way.
Oh well, maybe after there’s an attack on home soil again that dwarfs 7/7, maybe then. Nah. Btw ,,, in an unrelated case,,, police raided homes and arrested four this week who were planning an attack of some kind.  I’m happy for that but it’s just plain frustrating that these creeps have rights of any sort.  In this case, the perps haven’t hidden anything. They are right there out in the open telling us all what they have planned.  They can do that because .... they have ‘rights’.  And they know it, and they use it.  Against us.

Anyway ... here’s an update to a previous story.

Muslim convert who wanted to impose Sharia Law on East End of London threatened to kill non-Muslim passers-by for drinking beer

Jordan Horner, 19, walked around Tower Hamlets berating non-Muslims
Members of the ‘Muslim Patrol’ said ‘kill the non-believers’ and threatened to stab people who drank beer
Horner pleads guilty to ABH after getting into a fistfight with a passer-by
He was previously jailed after telling photographers at Anjem Choudary’s house that they would end up like Lee Rigby

By Hugo Gye

A convert to Islam today admitted attacking non-Muslims in East London as part of a campaign against Western culture.

Jordan Horner was part of the ‘Muslim Patrol’ which wandered around Tower Hamlets late at night threatening people for drinking beer.

The group said they wanted to ‘kill non-believers’ and said they would stab revellers, as well as uploading YouTube videos in which they criticised non-Muslims for what they were wearing.

Horner, 19, was previously jailed for six weeks after telling photographers gathered outside hate preacher Anjem Choudary’s house that they could end up like murdered soldier Lee Rigby.

In the early house of January 6 this year, Horner and others apparently approached a group of five men walking along the street then snatched cans of beer out of their hands before emptying them into the gutter.

The ‘Muslim Patrol’ is alleged to have said: ‘Why are you poisoning your body? It is against Islam. This is Muslim Patrol. Kill the non-believers.’

One then told another to ‘go get the shank [knife]’, but as the men walked away Horner threw punches at them, hitting one in the jaw.

He is also alleged to have threatened two couples and a man in East London between December and January.

At an earlier hearing at Thames Magistrates Court, prosecutor Kehinde Adesina said that on January 6 Horner and his extremist friends took to the streets to enforce Sharia Law.

‘Prior to the incident there were some videos uploaded to YouTube about people being inappropriately dressed in east London,’ he said.

‘Between 4am and 5am a group of five male friends were out drinking enjoying a night out. They had cans of beer in their hands.

‘The group were approached by Mr Horner and some other men in Muslim dress. They took the beer can out of one of the men’s hands and poured it out.’

Miss Adesina added: ‘The victims describe the main aggressor as being ginger with a ginger beard. And one victim said the white ginger male punched him in the jaw.

‘It was a group attack and a religiously aggravated assault.’

Today Horner appeared at the Old Bailey alongside fellow converts Ricardo McFarlane, 26, and a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons.

McFarlane appeared in the dock dressed in white robes and a headscarf, while Horner - who calls himself Jamaal Uddin - and the other man appeared via video link from Belmarsh Prison.

It can now be reported that Horner was jailed earlier this year when he threatened photographers, saying they would meet the same fate as ‘boy soldier’ Lee Rigby if they took pictures of Anjem Choudary.

He was convicted of assault and criminal damage after beating up one photographer and smashing up another’s car.

Horner shoved Bradley Page outside Choudary’s house in Walthamstow two days after Drummer Rigby was hacked to death in Woolwich on May 22, and said: ‘You should be careful. What happened to the boy soldier could happen to you.’

The following day, he told Sonjia Horsman he would cut her ‘f***ing head off’ and caused £3,000 worth of damage to her car.

The teenager converted to Islam last year after being approached outside a pub, and has cut himself off from his family and former friends.

hitchens believe the cons. here have lost the plot. he may well be correct.

Peter Hitchens is so conservative he doesn’t recognize the current Tory Party (Cons.) as being conservative at all.  Quite a few others who think the same btw.  And usually with good reason.  Anyway, not my place to harp on about the Tories here, that’s Peter’s job, and a good one he does.

Are the Tories lying to us again? Just ask Mandy!

By Peter Hitchens

How good to see that Mandy Rice-Davies is still very much around. Mandy is the most perceptive political thinker of our age, and her wisdom has never been so badly needed.

As an 11-year-old schoolboy, more innocent than it would be conceivable to be today, I was baffled by the Profumo affair.
What was a call-girl? Or an osteopath? Why would anyone want to go to an all-night Soho drinking club? (I still don’t know the answer to that one.)
But amid the yellowish swirling smog of scandal, Mandy’s pert features and her quick wit appealed to me far more than the smouldering mystery of poor Christine Keeler.

I was immensely delighted by her riposte to a barrister who informed her that some peer or other said he had never met her. She replied simply: ‘He would, wouldn’t he?’

This was a person who knew how the world worked. Much later she is said to have described her life as a ‘slow descent into respectability’, which deserves to be true, even if she didn’t actually say it.

Alongside Otto von Bismarck’s advice,

‘Never believe anything until it has been officially denied’,

I have made Mandy’s piece of wisdom about people telling obvious lies because it suits them my watchword during four decades of scribbling on the backs of advertisements, my chosen trade.

If it fits, it’s true. And my goodness, how it fits the Conservative Party Conference just ended. I mean, during decades in full power, and during the past three years in coalition, these Tories have had so many chances to crack down on crime, rip up the Human Rights charter, rescue marriage and remove us from the EU.

Have they lifted a fat finger to do so? Not once. They’ve been too busy legalising same-sex marriage.

But now, with an Election approaching that they will certainly lose, all these things are suddenly being pledged. Do I believe that David Cameron, Chris Grayling or Theresa May really expect (or want) to wake up on the morning of May 16, 2015 and find themselves with the power to do the things they promised last week? Of course not.

Their private polling tells them that they are as likely to land on the Moon that day. But they do have a tiny, pitifully remote hope of forming another coalition with the Liberal Democrats, and it is that which fills their heads.

If only they can save enough seats for a second pact, then they will keep the chauffeured cars, the grandiose offices, the unctuous officials, the large salaries and pensions, and the other baubles that are all they really care about.

And for those baubles, they will abandon everything they pledged to you last week. Mandy’s Law applies as ever. You only had to listen to them to know that they would say that, wouldn’t they?

He also has this to say and he does have a legitimate point to make on the subject.

Why criminals aren’t punished

People who want to get rid of what’s left of our drug laws always make a great fuss when senior policemen join their side, as if this were a hugely important surprise.

In fact, the police have been prominent in this campaign for years. There are two reasons. One is that the senior ranks of the police are crammed with Left-wing social science graduates.

The other is that the police reasonably see no point in arresting people when they know the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts will not punish them. An arrest, under current rules, can ruin a constable’s whole day.

As the retiring magistrate Alan Bissell rightly pointed out last week, we have pretty much abandoned the idea of punishment. Almost all crimes, from drugs to burglary and rape, can now be squared away with a ‘caution’, and marked as solved.

It’ll be murder next, once there are so many killings that the police can’t keep up with them either.

HITCHENS

Abiola Olukemi Apara ….. WTF?  is that a name or a new disease?

Good grief .... is this another sign of National Health or a one off thing?

Abiola Olukemi Apara ?????  Huh? What kinda name is that or is it a disease we need to know about. Sheesh. Gone are the times foreigners with impossible names had the courtesy to Anglicize their names as our grandparents did. And nobody forced them to do it, they just had more brains and consideration for their host country and wanted to fit in.  No such animal as automatic rights.

Sorry but nobody with a name like that should should be hired prior to changing it to Jones or Smith. 
I wonder what her English is like.

Take a look.

Nurse ‘treated NHS colleague like a servant by forcing him to mow her lawn and take her to IKEA’

Abiola Apara allegedly made colleague do her chores and drive her around
Accused of refusing to speak to one worker for more than 4 months
Will appear before Nursing and Midwifery Council

By Anna Edwards

A nurse at an under-fire hospital has been accused of using an NHS staff member like her own personal servant - forcing them to drive her to IKEA and fix her leaking tap.

Abiola Olukemi Apara is accused of forcing a colleague at Basildon Hospital in Essex to mow her lawn, drive her to IKEA for a shopping trip, take her car for an MoT and even install a washing machine at her home.

The clinical support worker was also allegedly asked to install new lights, fix a leaking tap and put sealant around a bath at Apara’s home during a period between September 2004 and January 2007.

On Christmas Day 2005, Apara is even alleged to have instructed the same colleague to call in sick for his afternoon shift at the hospital so he could drive her to London and back.

The guy must be a wimp or an illegal or both.
I can’t imagine one of us, that is a white or black Brit or American, would put up with that treatment.  Assuming it’s all true.
Just defies logic someone would allow it.

And btw ...

This hosp. is under the gun due to: 
Read on.

A handful of other charges include inappropriately ignoring colleagues for a number of weeks and shouting at staff.

In one instance, believed to have occurred around July 2005, Apara is accused of ignoring a ward sister for five weeks and only communicating with her through notes left in the staff room.

On another occasion in late 2005, Apara is accused of shouting words to the effect of ‘you office now’ at a ward hostess then ignoring her for more than four months after the incident.

In another instance in March 2004 she is accused of ‘inappropriately asking a staff nurse, to provide a reference for her daughter, whom she had never met and did not know.

She is also accused of shouting at the same staff member in front of a patient she was washing

The misconduct charges are set to be heard when Apara appears in front of a Nursing and Midwifery Council panel in London next month.

Apara has since left Basildon Hospital.

The hospital has made national headlines after being slammed by inspectors for persistently high death rates and has since been paired with London’s Royal Free Hospital in a bid to improve standards.

Give us your tired and poor and incompetent. Oh wait, that’s us (USA) these sad days.  But still not so bad as here. Not yet anyway but then I’ve been away so long, how would I know?
I do know this and not saying that the ppl I personally spoke to (tried to that is) were bad folks. They tried to be helpful but every so often I had a hard time making out what they were trying to say. Wasn’t so bad that in the end I was lost.  I did finally understand. But it made me miss home and the desert all the more.

Good grief .... have to see to a leaky roof. Oh great. Got numbers and called and get no phone back. Hard to find someone who isn;t a traveller repair which means ur screwed. Sorry, off topic.

The Daily Mail takes on the Marxist Guardian who publish stolen USA files

The following is an editorial published in hard copy ans on line by the Mail.
The editors here have taken on the Marxist Guardian, who are publishing the files that traitor Snowden has supplied them with.

The paper that helps Britain’s enemies

By Daily Mail Comment

Forget hacking voicemails or slipping payments to officials for stories that may or may not be in the public interest.

Set to one side even (dare we say it?) this paper’s provocative headline 12 days ago, questioning how a long-dead Marxist, who wanted to smash all the traditions and institutions which make Britain British, could be said to love his country.

By any objective yardstick, don’t such crimes and controversies pale beside the accusation levelled against the Guardian on Tuesday by the new head of MI5?

Indeed, it is impossible to imagine a graver charge against a newspaper than that it has given succour to our country’s enemies and endangered all our lives by handing terrorists ‘the gift they need to evade us and strike at will’.

Yet so said Andrew Parker, in his first speech as our spy chief, which yesterday was significantly endorsed by No10.

So isn’t it staggering that the BBC, after spending all last week trumpeting Ed Miliband’s attack on this paper over our charge that his father’s Marxist views validated one of the most evil regimes in history, could hardly bring itself for much of yesterday to report Mr Parker’s devastating indictment of the Guardian?

The problem, and it’s worse under the new director general, is that a wall of prejudice surrounds Broadcasting House – a belief that the Right merits relentless attack, while the BBC’s soulmates on the liberal Left must always be protected.

Let us be clear. The Mail has never believed that MI5 and GCHQ deserve unquestioning support.

In this column, we were highly critical of their demands for the power to detain suspects without trial for 90 days.

We led the charge against MI6’s cosiness with Labour over the dodgy dossier on Iraq. And we have opposed secret courts and the so-called snoopers’ charter.

But at the same time, we accept that the security services would be guilty of dereliction of duty if they failed to monitor those who pose a threat to the UK.

We believe the Guardian, with lethal irresponsibility, has crossed that line by printing tens of thousands of words describing the secret techniques used to monitor terrorists.

Such is certainly the view of UK national security adviser Oliver Robbins, who says the paper has ‘already done real damage’, while the information it still holds is likely to ‘lead directly to widespread loss of life’.

Indeed, so incendiary are these documents that British agents have had to be moved for their protection.

Yet, almost as astonishing as the BBC’s reticence, the editor of the Guardian now says he will continue to release the material, arguing that he will take care to publish nothing that endangers lives.

But how, in the name of sanity, can he know? He’s a journalist, not an expert on security.

Judge praises man for bringing to justice serial burglar.

Would ya look at this.

At least the judge was one with his head on right.
But the kops could have handled this better. Don’t ya think?

I really haven’t the words on this, so I’ll leave it to you.

Man who tracked down burglar after £3,000 raid on his home was reprimanded by police and told he could be prosecuted for threatening witnesses

Joseph Ingham decided to track down burglar who raided his home

Offered ‘cash reward’ for identification of suspect

Called burglar and threatened to ransack his home to retrieve belongings

Initially ‘criticised by police for potentially jeopardizing case’

Judge praises him for bringing to justice serial burglar Dean Harris

By Chris Brooke

When £3,000 of valuables were stolen from his family home, Joseph Ingham feared police would regard the burglary as another crime statistic and do little to identify the culprit.

So the determined father-of-two turned detective himself and used his initiative to track down the burglar and recover his possessions within three hours.

But when Mr Ingham, 32, returned home triumphantly with his spoils he was threatened with arrest, ‘treated like a criminal’ and told off by police officers still taking a statement from his wife about the burglary.

However, his actions were vindicated when he was later praised by a judge for successfully having ‘a go.’

His evidence proved crucial in convicting serial burglar Dean Harris, 43, who was jailed for three-and-a-half years at Hull Crown Court on Friday.

Mr Ingham, a builder, was given Harris’s name after he offered a cash ‘reward’ for information and he persuaded Harris to hand over the stolen goods by threatening to ransack his home in retribution.

Judge Michael Mettyear told the court: ‘I am sorry to say Mr Ingham has shown other people how to investigate a case. I may not approve of all his behaviour.

‘The police are not able to use his methods, but at least he gave it a go and made all the inquiries. He brought to justice a persistent long-term burglar.’

Mr Ingham launched his DIY investigation in May after receiving a phone call from his wife Rachel, 33, to tell him their home had been ransacked and burgled.

Mr Ingham said: ‘I did what anyone should have done. I was so angry that my house had been burgled and I was not insured.

‘I knew I would never hear the last of it from my girls and my wife was so upset. Bridlington is not that big a place and I just thought where do you go but the roughest estate. People know each other in this town.’

The court heard Mr Ingham decided to visit a bail hostel for criminals and promised £20 to a resident for information.

The man admitted he had been offered some matching computer equipment minutes earlier on the phone and gave the name of Dean Harris and the housing estate where he lived.

Mr Ingham said: ‘When I got back home initially the police treated me like a criminal because of the way I got my stuff back.’

After explaining what he had done, the police officers criticised him for threatening a witness and offering the £20 ‘reward’ for information.

‘They were threatening to arrest me. They were saying I had ruined the investigation. I was dumbfounded by their attitude. I only did what every normal person would do.’

12 Previous and the scum is out and about?  Why isn’t he dead?  We can only hope one day soon he will overdose.

new rules on sex offender ‘suspects’

I caught this blurb in a paper last week, kinda scary if you ask me.

What if they ID the wrong person?  Or someone brings charges and they are lying? 

We’ve had a couple of cases like that here in the last year.  Guys dragged out of their house at any hour, usually very early, no chance to face accuser etc. And the process can go on for months and as long as a year.

Just plain scary.

Here was the headline and as I say, just a paragraph and a small one at that.

NEW RULES LIMIT SEX OFFENDER SUSPECTS

See that word “Suspect” above?  Suspect.  They suspect. Suspect. Are they absolutely certain?

I have zero sympathy for any criminal or sex abuser or child molester.  I think most people are that way also. Most of us do not think the penalties are harsh enough and don’t discourage the bad guys in any way.

The paragraph I read explains;

Under new rules announced by the home office , police are to be given the power to restrict the freedom of any individual they ‘suspect’ of being a sex offender.  Even if they have never been convicted of a crime.  This can include limiting internet use and stopping travel abroad.

Schoolchildren banned from playing tag

Drew posted a story the origin of which is the USA.

Well, here’s a match for bmews and comes from Manchester.  England that is.

Things no different here .... the world has not changed entirely for the better.

Everything Drew already said on his post, applies here as well. No need for me to say it all again.

Pupils banned from traditional playground games like tag and British Bulldog ‘because they are too dangerous’

Children at Egerton Community Primary, Bolton, banned from playing traditional games following several injuries, school says
Parents have now started a petition calling for decision to be reversed
‘We can’t wrap them up in cotton wool,’ one parent said

By Lizzie Edmonds

Schoolchildren have been banned from playing traditional games tag and British Bulldog because teachers claim they are too dangerous.

Parents of children at Egerton Community Primary near Bolton, Greater Manchester, were told in a newsletter that children can no longer play the playground games.

In the letter, the school says: ‘What we have observed is a situation where children were being hurt because they were not moving about the playground safely and because they were playing games that, in a smaller space, were causing them to have accidents.

‘It is not acceptable for us to accept that children will get hurt while playing and it is our job to ensure that the playground and playtimes are organised well to ensure safety.’

Pupils may use the playing fields when the weather is good, but the majority of the year have break times in the playground.

A group of parents have now launched an online petition calling for the decision to be reversed.

Kirstin Jackson, 40, from Egerton, who launched the campaign, said: ‘I started the petition because I want my kids to be able to run around.

SOURCE READ AND SEE MORE

Under comments at Drew’s post, I suggested that this kind of thing has more (possibly) to do with law suits than safety.

Well, here’s a UK comment on this article from someone who thinks the same on this side of the water.

This has nothing to do with protecting the kids and everything to do with protecting themselves, from being sued by parents if their little darlings get hurt. The people of this country have brought it upon themselves, unfortunately, by grabbing every chance given to them to get some easy money. Get rid of the claim and blame departments and schools will be able to consider letting kids be kids again.

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
