u have a job but, u committ murder so naturally u lose job. end of story?  ah ..not quite.

I have managed to survive a nerve wracking bunch of unholy puter problems that have turned the air blue here.  It all started with MSFT’s monthly Tuesday patch which arrives here on Wed. Well heck, things sort of working okay now but the air is still blue cos ....
I keep finding things like this.  I very much doubt this creep will win his case. It may never actually get to court. In fact, I don’t even blame the guy for what he’s doing, simply because the system not only allows it but many believe it encourages it.

He’s a postman. He is in jail for committing murder. Naturally he’s let go by the postal service. 

So now he is suing them.  Unbelievable?  Nope.  Here. Take a look.

Former postman serving life for stabbing mistress to death sues Royal Mail for SACKING him

By Paul Bentley

Roger Kearney, 57, was sentenced to at least 15 years behind bars earlier this year after he stabbed his mistress, Paula Poolton, 40, seven times and left her body in the boot of her car.

The postman lost his $600-a-week job following the conviction but is today launching legal action from behind bars in an attempt to receive compensation for his dismissal.

Royal Mail bosses are furious that the ‘twisted’ employment case, which is listed for hearing today, is going ahead and see it as a huge waste of their time and money.
The case has also created a political storm, with MPs slamming it as a ‘ludicrous’ indictment of the legal system.

Critics say the case demonstrates how prisoners are becoming increasingly audacious in complaints about their ‘rights’ following the recent decision to grant them the vote.

Kearney will not receive taxpayer-funded legal aid as this is not granted for employment tribunals but defending the case will come at an expense to the Royal Mail in legal fees.

Conservative MP Philip Davies said: ‘This is completely outrageous. On what basis is he suing? The Government needs to clamp down on these ludicrous cases.
‘It makes the system a complete and utter joke. His employers will have had to spend money defending their case. It is ludicrous that they should have to spend time and money on this.

‘After giving prisoners the vote, this is an example that they now want to further flex their muscles.’

Former Tory home affairs spokesman Ann Widdecombe added: ‘This is so ludicrous it doesn’t bear thinking about. He can’t possibly report for work for the duration of his sentence. He’s not available to work through his own fault.’

The Royal Mail staunchly defended its right to fire the murderer. Sources said bosses are furious they have to fund defending the case, even though they have been assured Kearney will not be successful in his attempts to seek compensation.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: ‘Mr Kearney’s dismissal was in accordance with our very comprehensive employment procedures.

‘Royal Mail will defend its position vigorously at this tribunal.

It just make us so damn angry that things can be carried so far beyond common sense.  How the hell can people who are otherwise well educated (we thought) and intelligent, (we assumed) allow things like the prisoner votes, the order to call killers Mister, to allow law suits for hurt feelings, and now this case. How? Surely there has to be more people who see the stupidity then don’t. I just don’t get it.  How could a handful (a large handful admittedly) of bleeding heart libtards of the left, manage to bring these things about?  Mind boggling.

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.
