I apologise for revisiting this sphere of crime so soon but the response of the government is so utterly inadequate it is derisory. The Home Secretary has had the brilliant idea that if they make some of the aggressors meet the victims of knife crime then all will be well again!
By this very suggestion she demonstrates totally that she does not want to halt the slaughter on our streets. How can she truly believe that the thugs who are sticking knives in people care a tuppenny damn about the results of their actions? This is ridiculous but then I suppose any old soundbite will do to appease the public but for God's sake don't advocate punishment for these people.
I have suggested previously that I believe this breakdown of our society is being orchestrated by our political class. We vote but our vote means nothing. None of the accepted political parties have any intention of introducing anything that the voters want or need. Even in court it has been advocated that an election pledge (on the referendum on Europe for example) is not a promise! That means that they can tell you any old shit and after you cast your vote then it is back to normal.
Look how evasive David Cameron is if faced with a direct question. The differnece between him and Gordon Brown is that Gordon is inept but Cameron is devious. Every time I look at Cameron I think Tony Blair!!
This government does not wish to halt knife crime because it is yet another stage towards total anarchy when we will all have to depend on the government for our salvation. Yes I know... the crazy man has once again attacked the political class...so he must be a lunatic because nobody could believe that anyone would do such a thing! Wake up guys and girls it is happening!

Knife Crime
It continues unabated and yet still this government cannot find a policy which will deter the anarchy on the streets. Nothing of substance is emanating from 10 Downing Street. There is slaughter on the streets of our country. Knife crime is unprecedented and our leader tells us to stop wasting food!!
Why, why, why can't someone on high recognise that we must get REALLY tough in order to reverse the trend. You cannot respect the Human Rights of a person who is prepared to stick a blade into someone for no reason. Even the non-existent police force cannot deal with this.
I am sick of seeing thugs leaving court with a smile on their face! I want to hear the first wail of recognition that they are actually going to be punished for their crime. I want to see someone screaming that justice is unfair, that they don't deserve their sentence. I want to see fear in the criminal community...but then if your aim is anarchy on the streets then it will never happen.
I don't know who is pulling Gordon Brown's strings but they are doing a great job of destroying England as a country. Somewhere along the line the European connection is enjoying the problems here because they are ignoring it.
Someone,somewhere wants our children to kill one another because nobody is doing anything to stop it! Is this yet another legacy of the mass immigration policy because most of the crimes appear to involve those who perceive themselves as socially disadvantaged.
Yes I know that I am being non PC but until we face facts then one day it will be your son or your daughter! I predict that nothing will be done because what is happening is all part of the plan to destroy the home of democracy. Let them prove me wrong and I will be ecstatic to be proved wrong!!

New Labour and the Armed Forces
Throughout my service in the army and even more it recent times it has been generally acknowledged in military circles that Gordon Brown and his cohorts have little time for the Armed Services. They have cut back everything that they could cut back and yet they still manage to involve us in wars which I still find difficulty in supporting.
I sometimes retain sufficient scepticism to think that behind the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may even be a ploy to keep the Armed Forces so stretched that they will not be able to support any organised attempt to overthrow this tainted government. I know that we are not yet a banana republic and we don't overthrow governments in this country but sometimes I dream that it might not be such a bad idea. A guy can dream can't he?
Anyway it has recently been reported that up to 50% of the army are about to throw in the towel and leave at the earliest available opportunity. That is unprecedented but can we blame them? We are shipping meaningful casualties now and the PM still will not spend the money to keep them safe. It is a crime that they are travelling around a warzone in Land Rovers which do not have the capability to withstand roadside bombs.
During recent times the army has had General Sir Richard Dannatt leading them and he has consistantly lobbied the government to come up with the money to support their unjust wars. NoLab and Gordon Brown in particular hate any form of opposition. They have politicised almost everything to the extent that nobody has the guts to say 'No' because they will be punished like they would be in the old Soviet Union. True to form General Dannatt has been passed over for the role of Chief of the General Staff and so have the heads of the Navy and the RAF because they agreed with General Dannatt.
I now await the muppet, sorry puppet, who will jump into the job which he does not merit or deserve. Whoever is appointed will demonstrate his utter lack of integrity and is not fit to lead the brave lads and lasses on the front line. It is despicable to treat men of principle in this way but it is the NoLab/Brown way and the electorate know it. That is why they are cooked and I personally will watch their abject humiliating rejection by the public with more than a little glee. What a shame that it will take so long for them to be demolished as a party and what damage they will do before they go.

The Absent Prime Minister
I see that most of our political leaders are now honing in on Glasgow East but what about our Prime Minister? This Scottish individual has apparently written a book about men with courage and yet when did he last appear in public? When did he, even with police protection, place one delicate foot into the public domain?
He is displaying all the symptoms of the archetypal coward. He has 'bottled' all the recent major decisions. He didn't vote in the expenses debate despite reports that he paid his SKY subscription from the public purse so that tells us everything about where his sympathies lie.
He lectures about the waste of food when our country is suffering from an economic downturn ten years after NoLab came to power which eventually could lead to recession. No ideas about mass immigration, the rise of knife crime, the plight of the farmers or the transport industry, nothing about more prisons, more police on the streets, challenging the edicts from Europe or why council tax is rising but services are diminishing. In fact nothing for the general public but lots more for the PM who travels everywhere by special planes/helicopters/limosines but continues to preach that the rest of us plebs should listen to the nanny state. Did you see the menu for the G8 summit?
The BLOGs are humming that Harriet Harman is about to mount a challenge to his leadership. Gawd help us but he is really useless and NoLab are dead in the water so what does it matter?!

Glasgow East By-Election
You really couldn't make it up could you? As I understand it the government has called a by-election in Glasgow East following the resignation of the NoLab MP for 'health reasons'. This constituency is a red hot Labour seat as are so many in this neck of the woods with a 13,000 plus majority.
I would have thought that local NoLab councillors would have been tripping over themselves to grab the money that the MPs vote for themselves but suddenly nobody wants to admit to being NoLab. All the other candidates are in place and the other parties are gearing up for the fight but NoLab hasn't announced their man/woman yet. What can the problem be? Have the wheels finally come right off the trolley and if so is it not about time that the PM realised that the game is up?
Let's face it nothing works anymore. They can't even get the results of the kids exams out on time. NoLab have subverted all aspects of public life and the upshot is that nothing works and nobody is happy apart from the few who have their snouts in the trough filled with public money.
If even the die hard, hard nosed, Scottish Labour disciples are giving up the ghost then there is really no hope. These heartland voters are the very core of the Socialist support. I know because I was brought up in a socialist household by Scottish parents where the very word 'Conservative' was regarded as bad language.
The trouble is that NoLab have reneged on their socialist principles and have proven time and time again that they don't give a tuppenny damn about the working man. This will have gone down very badly in places like Glasgow East and I predict that they will kick Gordon's backside!
The other aspect of the by-election is that under Alex Salmond the Scots feel so much better off than the English which will lift their spirits. When they look south at the antics of the Westminster parliament they must love the fact that generally only the English are suffering under a government which is choc full of Scots. It is the Bannockburn factor.
They have also recently lost wee Wendy Alexander (Scottish leader of NoLab) on sleaze charges and so the stock of NoLab could not be lower. The fact remains however, that if NoLab lose Glasgow East then they are finished as a credible political force and Gordon Brown has no mandate to continue to ruin our country.

Knife Crime!
I cannot believe that the establishment are continually debating the cause of knife crime. It would be so simple to stop all this nonsense but for the life of me I cannot understand why no political spokesperson will address this problem in a sensible manner.
If people carry knives then they intend to use them. Therefore when a knife carrying person is detected then they should be punished. The problem appears to be what type of punishment should be handed out?
How about a punishment that will deter the carrying of knives? Five years... ten years... the problem is that the people who we rely upon to solve the crime on our streets are impotent. They will not or dare not face the facts that their policies have created the climate of fear that exists in our society today.
We must find a deterrent which the criminal will respect and fear. If we cannot find that deterrent then we may as well accept that the knife wielding criminal will continue to prosper. So the next time that someone is stabbed to death please do not wring your hands and blame incompetent parents because in reality it is the imcompetent politicians who have led to the situation we have in our society today.

Education, Education, Education!
I can just imagine my brother opening the morning paper today and screeching 'I don't believe it'! Any of us who are old enough to remember when examinations tested us thoroughly and as a result we left school with a foundation for employment have despaired over the past 40 years as British comprehensive education has been reduced to an embarrassing level of inadequacy.
Behind this dumbing down of education have been a group of educational theorists who have systematically destroyed English education and ruined the young lives of at least two generations of children. The problem is that they are very astute and rarely raise their heads above the parapet. Every now and then however, one of them breaks cover and today Peter Buckroyd has at long last identified himself as a total idiot. The problem is that if you 'Google' Peter Buckroyd you discover that he is a paragon of the educational establishment. He is an author many times over, an expert on the English language and the Chief Examiner for the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance! So why has he caught the attention of the columnists and bloggers?
Well he recently awarded marks to a student who had written 'F**k off' on his examination paper. Not only did the prat award marks for this profanity he then attempted to justify his actions. He actually seems quite proud of what he did because he has instructed other examiners to follow his lead.
This raises so many questions about this man's suitability for the job. Obviously he should be sacked immediately and carted off to the nearest establishment for balmy educationalists but then if there were such places they would have been packed full years ago.
There is absolutely no justification for this idiocy. The paper should not have been submitted for marking in the first place but Buckroyd's obvious delight in the controversy should identify him as utterly unsuitable for the position he holds but of course it won't. It will only become yet another nail in the coffin of English education.
