crime and punishment? where’s the punishment part?

More lunacy …. can’t get away from it.  With compliments from the usual boneheads on the left.
If you check here on a regular basis you will recall a post I did a week or two ago.
It had to do with taxpayer money in the thousands being given to the bad guys, in the cases I wrote about, Yoots.  And often very bad ones. You’ll recall that the authorities at some council sent one yoot damn near around the world, he had a great time visiting Egypt. This was supposed to turn him from crime. You will also recall it didn’t and he was back doing the same old same old in a week of his return.

Well, this fellow we have was featured about a year ago here at BMEWS because he too was given a holiday at the expense of the same overburdened folk.
There’s a recap (a short one) below.
The newer thing is at the very end and after the laugh when you realize it isn’t a joke, even if you are not a Brit I think you’ll see a shade of red at least, over the nerve not just of the gremlin.  After all, he will only attempt what those in authority will allow.

In previous years, the delinquents would have been locked up in borstals or sent to approved schools.

But in the mid-1990s they had become ‘disadvantaged young persons’ who were given all the help the taxpayer could afford.

Clinton Bowen was treated to a three-month £12,000 barge holiday in 1997 in an effort to deter him from crime. ($18,700.00)
The 15-year-old became known as ‘Canal Boy’. He grew up to be a drug addict who specialised in raiding the homes of the elderly.
In 2001 he was jailed for three years for stealing from a 91-year-old great-grandmother and in 2009 he got five years for carrying out 22 burglaries while on parole.

His brother Casey earned the name ‘Pocket Money Boy’ when he was paid £60 a week after 37 arrests between 1992 and 1994.
After paying out £1,560, social services stopped the money because his offending increased.

Jason Cooper was branded ‘World Tour Boy’ after going on holidays costing the taxpayer £50,000 to ‘instil feelings of self-worth by broadening his horizons’.

But Cooper, now 39, progressed to a life in and out of jail for crimes including conspiracy to rob a post office, burglary, fraud and car crime.

Hang on people. here it comes.

He even tried to sue social services claiming he had not been taught basic life skills such as how to claim benefits.

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.
