The recent case of the ex-soldier who made a citizen's arrest on one of the teenagers who had been systematically damaging his property and then found himself on a charge of kidnap made me think very hard about what rights the law abiding have in today's society.
In the recent case the guy had rung a 'hotline' and been kept on hold for 45 minutes! What is the point of a so called 'hotline' if it isn't manned properly? Most of us know that in this day and age the police won't confront young tearaways so a 999 call would also prove fruitless. It would appear that we're now on our own without police protection so what can we do?
The infamous case of the Norfolk farmer, Tony Martin, proved that we cannot use fire arms to defend ourselves. We are informed that we have to use only 'reasonable force' if confronted by robbers. What is reasonable force? I would hate to kill someone defending my wife and dog (she is very old and never was very brave - the dog that is) and then face some smart arse criminal lawyer trying to prove that the nine iron which I buried into the head of the intruder in the dark was 'unreasonable'. I could face a long sentence for defending my property.
The point I am trying to make is that sooner or later some quick thinking criminal type is going to realise that we homeowners in twenty first century Britain are, to all and intents and purposes, defenceless. There are an awful lot of immigrants for example, some of them East European Romanies, looking for somewhere to rest their weary heads and there are a lot pensioners sitting in valuable properties which they worked hard to buy many years ago.
If the examples of police indifference which are being ever more frequently being reported then someone, somewhere, will be the first resident to lose their home to intruders. Don't tell me that it won't happen because at the moment it is entirely feasible unless someone gets the police to do their bloody job!

The European Union (again!)
According to their own rules if just one member of the European Union votes against the Lisbon Treaty then it cannot be ratified. As we all now know the Irish people, the only people to be given a vote, voted against it but predictably the European elite have absolutely refused to accept this honest and fair outcome.
This is exactly as I predicted because there is nothing honest and fair about the European Union. It rivals Robert Mugabe in it's disdain for democracy. They don't care about democracy because this is a naked and shameful attempt to subvert democratic procedures. They are attempting to conquer nations in exactly the same way that the Soviet Union rode roughshod over Eastern Europe.
This is utterly contrary to everything that we British have been brought up to believe and in my opinion that is why more than anything else that Gordon Brown has lost the confidence of the electorate. He promised us a referendum and then reneged on his election promise. We are not European in thought or deed. We have links to the former Commonwealth countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada which are far stronger than links to our hereditary enemies like France and Germany.
I am not preaching hatred because I lived for fifteen years in Germany and have many German friends. I actively 'twinned' for over a dozen years and I can tell you that the 'man in the German street' does not want the European Union either (they too have never had a vote). If the European 'elite' who believe in this treaty/constitution had the courage to put the vote to the people then they know that they would lose. There is now however, far too much to lose. Too many officials/members will lose so much because billions of pounds are involved and so many snouts are in the trough that they are absolutely determined to ram this treaty through regardless of any opposition.
In my opinion this will eventually become the modern day equivalent of World War Two. If you have any pride at all in the traditional way of British life then we must oppose this union. As it stands Gordon Brown couldn't win an election to save his life so it would appear that David Cameron is a shoo in to become our next PM but be careful what you wish for.
I am so disenchanted by politics that I would be willing to bet that David Cameron is already signed up by Europe. He would not be in his position unless he was firmly in the European camp. They could not possibly risk a future British leader who may oppose the European Union so when the next election arrives then push for an answer on the European question. What camp is Cameron in? I tell you what my friends he won't tell you but if you read this then you will know.
Please do not let your children and grandchildren down unless you don't care what happens. If you don't care then what are you doing reading this particular blog? If you do care then spread the word. The European Union is out to relieve you of your British nationality... no I am wrong it already has done.
Poeple like Gordon Brown, David Miliband, the Liberals and all the other so called Political parties have already signed your freedom away. Only the ...sshhhh B..N..P and UKIP are fighting for our traditional freedom and you will notice how they are being ridiculed by the mainstream media.
In my local paper people who attended a meeting of the BNP have had to defend the fact that they actually hire a local hall. They are actually a legitimate, legal, political party and although I am not a member and never have been I find myself looking hard at the only credible party who are fighting for a future outside of Europe.

Henley By-Election Result!
The electorate in Henley appear to have reflected the mood of the people generally when they cast more votes for the BNP than they did for Gordon Brown in the latest by-election! Well at least it's a start and I still can't believe that the NoLab candidate managed to find slightly more than a thousand people to vote for him!
I cannot ever remember a government candidate losing a deposit but it emphasises that our PM should do the decent thing and let go of the helm that is if he can find it. To relentlessly continue to deny the will of the people will eventually, in some aspects, put him into the same category as other dictators.
Most of the TV political programmes are now brazenly questioning his ability and it must be crystal clear that he cannot recover the lost ground in time to mount even a token challenge at the next election. If he left then he could sit down in from of a mirror and get someone to teach him to knot a tie properly. It pains me to see our Prime Minister appear time after time in front of the cameras with a knot that a schoolboy could better! I think that this simple matter ruins his stature but no doubt he will never see it.

'None of Them!"
Sunday is usually the day when much of the political sleaze is outed in the press but I must admit there is so mich happening at the moment that it is difficult to know where to start. MP after MP is being caught having not declared this or that and the misuse of the parliamentary expenses system is criminal.
In Europe it appears to be so much worse and why shouldn't it be? This huge organisation appears to be unauditable so the reports that the members are taking huge advantage of the lax rules on allowances and expenses are not surprising. If you make that the price of loyalty then you will get it. I am sure that this is the reason that the only people who have been allowed a vote (the Irish) voted against the constitution. The general public are not stupid and the politicians know it. That is the reason that, with the exception of Ireland nobody, has been allowed a vote. Every time the European Union has faced the public it has been defeated.
But back to us and what do we do with MP's from all major parties who have treated the public with such contempt? You see it isn't just members of one party who have been stealing huge sums of public money they are all at it. On the Andrew Marr show this morning Peter Oborne the columnist from the Daily Mail called it 'a conspiracy of silence'.
Our only opportunity to send a message to parliament comes all too rarely at a General Election. The Brown New Labour project know that they are dead in the water so they will hang on until the bitter end probably doing all they can to make their successors pick up a poisoned chalice. You can almost bet that the new government will discover an almighty mess a lot of it probably not even in place yet.
As anyone who regularly reads this BLOG will know I don't think there is anything to choose between the parties so why do we vote at all. Remember the last time that the Tories were in? How could anyone forget it? So why do we vote for them? They have both let us down over the past thirty years or so let's have another think about the next election.
If we all got together and agreed that nobody voted for either NoLab or Conservative or the useless LibDems we might get an astonishing result. They would all be voted out of power consigned to the political dustbin along with the Special Advisors, the Spin Doctors, the Lobbyists, the Sponsors and all the rest of the rotten hangers on who make up this cesspit of corruption.
In their place we might get some decent people but whoever we get would receive a definite message! Do as we want or we will get rid of you as well. This country desperately needs a revolution and the next election is the last chance to achieve one. Vote for anyone who stands aginst the established parties. Vote Green, UKIP, BNP, Raving Looney, Independent or whoever you like but don't vote for the big three. It would cause a sensation across the world that the British electorate, living in the so called home of democracy, had rejected their own political system!
I really think that we could do it so spread the word. I cannot think of anything else that would shake up the established political world. The next time that you are asked who you favour in one of these political polls which most of us never see then answer 'None of the Above'!

Crime and our Politicians!
I watched the Politics Show today and I must admit that Andrew Neil is superb in the role of presenter because he does not let the waffling politicians away with their prepared lies. The ridiculous lie that crime is down has to be challenged but Caroline Flint (NoLab) continually tried to pass it off as a statistic which was beyond approach. Andrew Neil however, qualified it by insisting that the manufactured statistics did not recognise that violent crime and juvenile crime was on the increase and that is the extent of the problem.
NoLab have their own set of stats which only tell the story that they want you to believe. That is in all walks of life. Their stats on inflation are manufactured which we all recognise and their stats on crime are also unbelievable particularly when one views the recent publicity on knife crime.
How can we curtail the advance of violence in this country when the government refuses to believe that we have a problem?
We need more prisons. We need a tougher stance on crime. Nobody wants to step out of line but until someone does then crime will continue to escalate. Whenever the government is approached about crime they quote their own corrupt stats which really are not the point. The stats are unacceptable because most people cannot see the point of reporting crime. All they get is a crime number for insurance purposes.
When will someone really get a grip on crime?

Inflation Rates!
So at last the money men have cottoned onto the fact that the rest of us have known for a very long time. The PM's inflation rates are a fabrication. We knew that in January and now the Bank of England has started to catch up! They confess to 3.5% but sooner or later they will have to raise the bar to something like the true rate!

The Death Penalty!
Our much criticised PM today hosted the American President in a much trumpeted visit to our shores. They stood side by side and the only pronouncement that sprang forth was our commitment to send yet more young lads to Afghanistan! This on the eve that 5 members of 2 Para had been killed. We haven't lost 5 Paras in a week since bloody Arnhem for God's sake and they still don't get the point!
We cannot win in Afghanistan! History tells us that this impoverished nation has always been a breeding ground for terrorism or narcotics. Now we could cease narcotics at a stroke by punishing the dealers like they do in countries like Malaysia. Sorry mate you are pushing death and that is your sentence. End of story! It would stop tomorrow!
So now we have to deal with terrorism. Well we still have, on the statute books, the death penalty for traitors. We could still isolate the terrorists and when we find them then, 'Sorry boys and girls you die!' The Westminster village always recoils from this question of the death sentence but we are in troubled times and we must threaten our attackers with a sentence which should dissuade them from their intentions.
This week we passed the significant mark that 100 of our young men had died in this useless war. Nobody has ever given us the figures for the physically or mentally maimed or injured brought about by this politically motivated campaign. I would bet that this would easily exceed a four figure sum. Bush has to rely on our support because without our weak puppets like Blair and Brown then he is naked.
Sooner or later we must face the question! Is it now time to bring back the death penalty and if we don't then we will deserve what we get. And mark my words we will get it whatever it is. Weak nations always lose when the going gets tough and we have the weakest of weak Prime Ministers.
