HEFFER ON PUBLIC FORNICATION AND GUN OWNERSHIP IN THE UK. YES TO FORMER, NO TO LAST?

Some thoughts from Simon Heffer of The Telegraph.

Forget Dubai, life’s a beach in Lancashire, UK

Vince Acors and Michelle Palmer deny they were fornicating on a beach in Dubai last July, for which police arrested them. A local court, however, gave them three months in jail and they face deportation.

It is a lesson in the stupidity of offending against the customs of other countries when we visit them, something I wish we were hotter on here.

However, when they return to the United Kingdom they could head for Lancashire and copulate in whatever public place they fancy. Michael Cunningham, its deputy chief constable, has told officers not to prosecute such behaviour, not least because it might alienate homosexuals.

Just another fun thing to enhance our children’s lives when they play in the park, no doubt.

Criminals get licence to carry on shooting

As a licensed shotgun owner, I live in trepidation of infringing any of the rules (mainly nit-picking and lacking in common sense) that would cause me to lose my certificate.

For example: my wife - one of the least psychopathic people I know - is not allowed to know where I keep the key to my firearms cabinet, lest she get into it and conduct a massacre in our local village.

The police use the slightest excuse to remove a shotgun licence from a member of the public, even though the only fatalities caused by legally held weapons are when farmers driven bankrupt by the Government’s mismanagement of agriculture end up shooting themselves.

Yet we are told that only half the criminals convicted of possessing an illegal firearm receive the supposedly minimum mandatory sentence of five years.

Why is it that serious criminals are treated so leniently while those with no criminal intent are given such a hard time? Is it the old story of being so much easier to persecute the harmless than to prosecute the harmful?

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.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
