my isp, new router, farage and ukip and may election and thieving romanians

Got a new router from isp, finally got it up and working and far easier than I first thought it would be.  Kinda proves that, “ the only thing we have to fear is ……”
Actually that is not entirely true, but I suppose when FDR first used the phrase it was needed. Anyway very busy and up to ears in things and don’t expect to post too much unless it’s something a bit more off the wall than my usual crime and grime stuff.  Those things never change, only the ppl involved.
For example, another ‘honor’ murder. That’s not news anymore. Guy killed wife because she was becoming too westernised.  Why the hell do they bother living here anyway?  Oh. Right. Maybe he was getting benefits. Don’t know. Doesn’t matter.

This new router has fewer wires and one less plug to stick in the wall, supposed to be faster than older one which was giving good service and no probs at all.  Now I have the joy of buffering on a tablet that I never had before.  Speaking of the buffering.
So spent a whole hour after coming in from yard work which I know I shouldn’t be doing now, anyway, an hour with ISP tech to alter the speed settings or something.

So ,,,, I found a story to share that really as I see things, proves how duplicitous and hypocritical even a fairly conservative paper can be.  Gee, when we can not even trust our own damn side …. ?

There’s a political party here called UKIP, which is UK Independence Party.
It’s leader, Nigel Farage, is a genius and a damn good speaker who puts the rest of these clowns and the EU in the shade.  He makes his critics look like the dumb asses they are.  But there’s a problem.  Everyone is out to get him and whenever the Daily Mail can publish an unflattering photo of him they will.  Or point out his race bias and his immigration phobia and his awful anti Romanian rhetoric, they will. But hang on. That’s how they paint him but that isn’t him.  But they want it to be, because lots of ppl are seriously worried that there’s a chance UKIP could split the conservative vote and hand the country back to the Labour Party.  In other words, even a conservative paper will twist what he says to suit their own agenda. 

A few weeks ago in an interview, when asked a question about his mistake on the numbers of Bulgarians and Romanians who were supposed to flood the borders and apparently may not have, in the numbers he quoted, he said that he would not want to live next door to a Romanian family.  So, was he anti immigrant?  His wife after all is German.  So the usual talking heads all dumped on him, he made no grovelling apology and stated why he wouldn’t and most Brits understood him well.  Oh boy, did they understand.  His critics thought the sky would fall on him, and the Daily Mail, that bastion of conservative thought, joined in the abuse and finger pointing.
UKIP went on to win lots of seats in the Euro elections and his party is now being taken a bit more seriously. All of a sudden politicians both left and right are outdoing each other with promises of utopia.  Suddenly politicians are using words like, we must pay more attention to the people.  Sure. Now that their faces have been rubbed in the dirt a bit. 

I do not know personally, if UKIP will turn out to be a one or two issue thing. I have no idea if they will fold or gain new strength.  But a scary number of voters from both left and right who somehow manage to agree on some basic level, have deserted their parties and joined UKIP.

In reply, the mouthpiece of liberal conservatism has run articles not once but 2wice, by the original founder of UKIP who quit years ago, saying that Farage is a racist,
and again pointing out again that Mr. Farage thinks living next door to Romanians is a bad thing.  As if we can assume that a family of that group will be upstanding and present no problems. We only hear about the bad after all.  Cos they are the ones who make the news.  Where’s the excitement in writing about good people. You know, if it bleeds, it leads. So with that thought in mind, may I present the following story from the Daily Mail.

Caught on CCTV: Moment ‘polite and charming’ Eastern European scammers stole £300 from woman at a cashpoint by pretending she had dropped £5 on the floor

· Wendy Cleasby was conned as she withdrew cash from Santander bank
· The 53-year-old said scammers appeared to be ‘polite and charming’ men
· Duo told her she dropped £5 and stole her £300 when she went to pick it up
· Pair were arrested by police after being identified from CCTV footage
· Both handed a 16-week prison sentence and ordered to pay compensation

BREAK –

Whoa. Hang on.

The DM has changed their headline for the on line version.

Here is what I have from the hard copy version.

MOMENT ROMANIAN CASHPOINT CONMEN STRUCK INSIDE A BANK.

It was a hefty withdrawal, so Wendy Cleasby thought taking her cash out inside the bank was the safest option.
But that’s exactly where a pair of conmen were waiting to pounce.
Just inside the high street branch, the two Romanians who pointed out that she had just dropped £5 were actually tricking her into turning away… so they could steal her money from a cashpoint machine.

Visit the link here and look at the following pix. 

£1M COST OF INTERPRETERS

The cost of providing interpreters to assist Romanians appearing at magistrates and crown courts for criminal cases has hit more than £800,000.

Freedom of Information requests to the Ministry of Justice revealed that the bill was £804,846 for the period from February 2012 to January 2013.

The money was paid to Capita Translation and Interpreting, which won the contract to provide translations services in January 2012. The bill for the final month was £89,387.

Previously, courts in England relied on local interpreters.

Last month the Mail revealed that the annual cost to the taxpayer of hiring court interpreters to assist all non-English speakers had almost doubled in just one year to £15.5million

Below is very interesting most especially because it was done in Nov., and his prediction of the recent May election seems to have been pretty much spot on. The pols are scared for the first time. And the 2nd party currently in power here, the Lib/Dems, have been left in the dust after the May elections.

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
