Injustice

From the BNP site:

A very unpleasant story this afternoon from our SE England Regional Organiser - a story that is typical of these debased times and one that should have the blood boiling in the veins of every true Briton!

Yet another injustice against our people.

In the BNP we are used to some horrendous stories of injustice and prejudice against the indigenous population but what follows beggars belief!

The story starts in the first week of October when there was rioting in the Dedworth area of Windsor. This was centred on a Muslim owned dairy in which, without planning consent, a section was being used as an Islamic Centre. Those using it were not only blocking the access for residents but also verbally abusing them.

With this heightened tension, the spark that ignited the rioting was when a 15-year old boy was assaulted by young adults from the centre. His sister went to remonstrate with them and she was physically assaulted and her car wrecked, over £3,000 of damage was done by Muslim males wielding iron bars and baseball bats.

By an extraordinary coincidence the mother of the brother and sister happened upon the scene as she was walking their dog. She too was assaulted!

Police reluctant to act!

Initially, the police declined to take any action at all. When pressed they condescended to take notes and report it, but not as a racially motivated incident. They informed the two females that, as they could not recognise their assailants - there was nothing they, the Police, could do!

After a period of weeks, and once the situation had calmed down, at the request of our local members we leafleted the area. There were 34 activists out, and such was our reception, that we were being stopped on the street and asked for leaflets. To date we have had over 100 enquiries and membership applications – as recently reported on by the British National Party’s Regional Voices.

Cries for help from public

However, what was particularly disturbing was that within hours our help line was receiving calls, mainly from elderly women who just wanted someone to talk to and to listen to their fears and problems. In some cases I was on the phone to individuals for over an hour reassuring them that we would be able to help if there was more trouble and just to call the number. Interestingly, none of the callers wanted to talk to their local councillors because they felt betrayed by them, that their fears were not understood and that they would be dismissed as `racist`!

Last week I received a rather strange call on the help line from a close friend of a person who had been charged with an offence under our oppressive race laws, requesting a meeting and the help of the BNP.

Ex-serviceman with disturbing tale to tell

I duly arrived at the appointed time and place and met the close friend. The person I was due to meet eventually arrived well over an hour and half late and carrying a plastic bag with some items in it.

I was then told the most strange and disturbing story:

The person I met was a male, obviously not well and aged, I thought, about 60. Three days after the assaults and after playing darts in the local pub, having had a large number of beers he was walking home and his route took him past the scene of the assaults. As he did a reporter came out of the shadows and accosted him, asking him what his feelings were about the incident. In rather robust and salty language he replied that he had fought them in Iraq and it now appeared he had to fight them in his neighbourhood.

Others came out of the shadows and promptly arrested him, kept him in a police cell and eventually charged him with a `race` crime!

As I have said, the man was obviously unwell and yet he told me that the police had denied him his medication, despite his requests for such, for a considerable period of time.

Exemplary history of service to our country

Now we come to the most appalling and disgraceful part of this story.

The man is actually aged 44, has spent 24 years in the Army and is broken by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - for which he is on constant medication. He is managing to hold down a job in security with the MoD.

His Army career included 4 tours of Northern Ireland, Kosovo and the Gulf War. The plastic bag contained a scrapbook in pristine condition, with all his discharge papers and recommendations from his CO to any prospective employers, plus his service medals - including his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

He has an exemplary record and has never been in trouble.

By the most bizarre coincidence he also happens to be the father of the two youngsters assaulted and the estranged husband of the assaulted woman! And, as he was walking past the scene, he was thinking of what had previously happened there when he was accosted by the reporter.

Ex-soldier charged under Race Act

He has now been charged and is due to appear in Court on 20th December. He cannot even begin to think about Christmas as he is worried sick about what is going to happen to him and, as he was telling me all this, he was close to tears.

He then told me that only 5 days previously he was at the Remembrance Service standing proudly in his Sunday Best, wearing his Medals and remembering the mates he had lost. At this point he burst into tears, threw his medals across the floor, and asked why no one cared about him when he had given his life and health to the service of his country?

What could I say! I was nearly in tears myself, as I am whilst I write this.

How a person, an old soldier be treated like this? What is our country coming to?

Why did the Police not console him, take him home and make him a cup of tea?

My promise to him was that I would do all I could.

We need to publicise this nationwide.

We need to demonstrate outside the Court.

We need to make sure that those in authority responsible for this travesty are held to account!

A Christmas poem

Just got this in my email:

*PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favour of sending this to as many
people as you can?
Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our service men
and women for
our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small
way to pay a tiny bit of
what we owe.

Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who
sacrificed themselves for us.

Andy E.

*/A Different Christmas Poem/** *
*
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." *
*"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died in France on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "1941 That's a Christmas 'Gran always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the Falklands one year, *
* My Mum fought away a tear that we could enjoy some Christmas cheer,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
Carrying out my duty with pride as a man.


Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... the British flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life to protect my brother.
We stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you do,
For being away from that you hold to be true.
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us." *

Health nazis strike

SMOKING in public looks to be banned on June 4, 2007, a senior health insider revealed yesterday.

I am against this ban and I don’t smoke. The government has no business telling people what they can and can’t do in pubs unless they are the ones that own all the pubs in Britain. It should be left up to the owner of the pub to decide whether they want smoking in their pub.

If people don’t like other people smoking in the pub that they also drink in they can leave. They do not have to stay there. They are the ones who are putting their own health at risk by staying there. If you are about to be run over by a car you jump out of the way. That is common sense.

If you want to stop people smoking the government should try a different way like making people pay for their own healthcare if they have a smoking related illness afterall why should the public pay for problems that you caused yourself? People should be forced to take care of themselves on not rely on the state to bail them out all the time.

Dutch doing a Blair?

Dutch Muslims have criticised a government proposal to ban women from wearing the burqa or veils which cover the face in public places.

Dutch Muslim groups say a ban would make the country's one million Muslims feel victimised and alienated.

The Dutch cabinet said burqas - a full body covering that also obscures the face - disturb public order and safety.

The decision comes days ahead of elections which the ruling centre-right coalition is expected to win.

And I thought they were doing it because they actually believe in banning it but it sounds to me that they are doing a Blair and lying to us to get more votes. I would be a good thing if they did ban it but I doubt it.

Muslims should also realise that it is not their society. If they want to wear their religious dress they should go to the first savage sand kingdom that they can get to.

Council tax

Why should the elderly like Richard Fitzmaurice be sent to prison for refusing to pay council tax when the elderly cannot afford it. Surely there is another way other than taxing 10.4 million pensioners into poverty?

Wouldn’t a local sales tax be much better in funding local services? Or an even better idea would be to allow the local councils to think up ideas on how to raise taxes. If they want to raise tax the young and leave the elderly or vice versa why not let them? If they want a flat income tax why not let them?

Nominate Nick!

Go to this site and nominate Nick Griffin as ‘Great Briton of 2006’. If he wins it will surely be on the TV. There will be lots of publicity for the Party and a humiliation for the traitors in government.

Drug addicts get payout from government

The Government was accused of "caving in" over drugs yesterday following the disclosure that the Home Office is about to pay out tens of thousands of pounds to prisoners because they were forced to stop taking heroin or other opiates in jail.

They alleged breaches under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which bans torture and inhuman or degrading treatment; Article 8, which protects private life; and Article 14, which prohibits discrimination.

David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said the decision to settle stemmed from the Government's desire to avoid the embarrassment of being defeated by its own Human Rights Act, which incorporates the convention into English Law.

Once you commit a crime you should forfeit all your human rights. The only human right you should be allowed is the right to stay alive and that should be taken away from you if you kill or rape anyone.

The spineless cowards in government should have stood up to the criminals and told them to stuff their rights and as for the Human Rights Act it should be ripped to shreds as no foreign law should be part of British law. We should have our own constitution.

I'm back!

I have finished the part of the coursework that needs to be handed in tomorrow so I am free to start blogging again. No doubt I will have a deadline for another part of the coursework next week and the week after but hopefully I should be able to get it done at college but blogging may be infrequent for the next few weeks.

Taking a break from blogging

Sorry to regular readers. I have no choice but to take a break from blogging. I should be back on Wednesday. On Tuesday I have to hand part of my coursework in for A2 Applied Business Studies.

Tomorrow is my Birthday and it looks like I will have to work for a few hours on that day (not working on it for 10 hours on my birthday).

I have already written 35 pages and I am not even half way through yet which is weird because last year my average number of Business studies coursework pages was in the 30s. Eventhough I have to hand part of it in I still won’t be completely finished but it is unlikely I will have to work 6-10 hours per day after college like I did in my first year.

Wish me luck!

More terror attacks coming soon

Hundreds of young British Muslims are being radicalised, groomed and set on a path to mass murder, the head of MI5 said yesterday.

In a stark public warning, Dame Eliza ManninghamBuller, the Director-General of MI5, revealed that the Security Service’s caseload had risen by 80 per cent since January and now involved about 30 “Priority 1” plots.

It has identified 200 terrorist networks involving at least 1,600 people, many under the direct control of al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan.

“More and more people are moving from passive sympathy towards active terrorism through being radicalised or indoctrinated by friends, families, in organised training events here and overseas,” she said. “Young teenagers are being groomed to be suicide bombers.”

If we know about them why aren’t our security services actively assassinating them? If I was in charge all of those 1,600 would be assassinated, bugger the lawsuits and the consequences. Protecting the public is far more important than the possibility of being sued.

The deaths would of course have to look as much like an accident as possible in case there were some terrorists we didn’t know about (they are unlikely to know more than 1 terror network) and in case their children want revenge in the future by turning to terrorism.

FREEDOM!

As most of you will know by now Nick Griffin and Mark Collett have been found innocent on all charges.

Mr Griffin, of Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales, was found not guilty on a charge of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred and an alternative charge of using words or behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred. Mr Collett was found not guilty on four similar charges.

"Something's just happened to show Tony Blair and the government toadies in the BBC that they can take our taxes, but they cannot take our hearts, they cannot take our tongues and they cannot take our freedom," Mr Griffin declared.

Mr Collett, a former Leeds University student and head of the BNP youth wing, said that the score after the retrial was "BNP 2 - BBC nil".

“They cannot take our freedom” sounds a lot like what William Wallace said in Braveheart. I don’t know if he actually said it when he was alive or it’s just something that was added into the film but like William Wallace and many others Nick is fighting for freedom. It may not be the type of freedom that Nick is fighting for but I am sure that if William Wallace was alive today he would completely support Nick and Mark.

GOOD LUCK!

Tomorrow is the day when free speech is either squashed forever or it begins a new and stronger life. Tomorrow is judgement day when Nick Griffin and Mark Collett are either found guilty or innocent.

Good luck Nick and Mark. I hope everything turns out for the best and you both are found innocent.

Conservatives try conning people over immigration

DAVID Davis is to signal a major shift in Tory immigration policy by calling for a significant cut in the number of foreign workers coming to the UK.

The Shadow Home Secretary will demand an annual limit on the influx of economic migrants from outside the EU.

Mr Davis told the Daily Express: “We need to rebuild confidence in the immigration system to relieve community tension.

“This is not about appearing tough, it’s about being sensible.”

It calls for the Government to set an annual limit on migrant workers after consultations with business, local councils and other organisations.

This is the most retarded thing I have ever read. Talk about conning the electorate.

They talk about putting a limit on immigrants from outside the EU but disregard the fact that most of our immigrants come from the EU, we have 1.5 million at the moment which is set to grow another 600,000 when Romania and Bulgaria enter the EU. What is the use of setting a limit when 600,000 will enter anyway?

How is this “being sensible”?

Even if they do stick a limit on the number it will be broken by EU migrants and we can’t do anything about EU migrants unless we leave the EU.

It’s a con. Simple as that!

Most racial crime victims are WHITE

The media are finally acknowledging what the BNP have been saying for years, that most victims of racial crimes are WHITE.

The most recent analysis shows that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities (BME) said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. In the same period, 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim.

Focusing on violent racial attacks, 49,000 BME were victims. Among whites, the number was 77,000.

Of those that involved wounding 4,000 were BME. Among the white population it was 20,000.

If most victims are the majority then that means minorities are committing the majority of racial crimes.

Justice at last!

Justice at last for Kriss Donald. His Asian murderers have been found guilty of murdering him simply because he was white.

Kriss, 15, was stabbed 13 times and set on fire while he was still alive, on a quiet walkway behind Celtic FC's training ground in the east end of Glasgow.

I am glad that they have been sentenced to life, well I might be if life actually meant life in this country. They will probably be out in about12 years to kill yet more white people.

The only punishment they deserve is to suffer the way Kriss suffered in his final hours.

Is the EU needed?

The (EU) traditional role as Britain’s European Union’s main export market and source of overseas earnings is coming to an end, a think-tank has revealed.
For the first time, less than half of Britain’s earnings are now derived from Europe, a revelation which could trigger a sea-change in Britain’s attitude to membership of the EU.

Only 48% of Britain’s earnings from the export of goods and services, receipts of income from investments and transfer payments were derived from the 24 other EU member states last year, according to an analysis of official figures by the Global Britain think-tank. This is significantly less than the 52% seen as recently as 2003 and comes as the EU has underperformed the rest of the world economy.

Over the period 1999-2005, British earnings from outside the EU grew by almost 8% a year, 45% faster than British exports to the EU, which grew at only 5.5% per year. Taking only continental Europe – the 24 EU economies minus Ireland – the disparities in growth rates become even more striking: UK earnings from the world (including Ireland) outside continental Europe grew 67% faster than British earnings from continental EU.

The percentage of trade from the EU has decreased 4% in just 3 years and long may it continue. We should try and make the EU even more irrelevant than it is now to show the Europhiles that it is not needed.

Do we still need the EU? Did we ever need the EU?

About 3 weeks ago I sent a load of freedom of information requests to different government departments – including my local council. So far I have received 2 back.

Now when you make a freedom of information request they say you have to wait 20-30 days before the information gets to you. So far the response has been excellent. In the first week I got one from my local council telling me there had infact been planning permission granted for a shop to be converted into a mosque in a place called Southbank which is about a 15 minute drive for me. They have 3 years to build the mosque before the planning permission is revoked.

Today I got an email from the Ministry of Defence about my query but it is only from the navy department. The army or RAF isn’t as efficient as my original query was split into 3 by the Ministry of Defence.

My query was on the Falklands and the above is the response I got back.

I know we have an ice patrol boat and I know it isn’t going to stay near the Falklands all the time but I just don’t see a reason for it.

Click on the picture to read it properly.

As you will read we only have 1 ship in the area of the Falklands called HMS Dumbarton Castle which is only a patrol vessel. The other ships are either en route or about to be sent off to the Falklands.

With Argentina still unhappy about the Falklands being retaken is it wise just to leave 1 vessel to patrol the Falklands especially if it is just a patrol vessel?

According to the Royal Navy’s own website HMS Dumbarton Castle is basically designed to carry out fishery protection and offshore patrols. The ship also only has a maximum of 52 crew. What exactly is that going to do if a hostile force attacked the Falklands?

When will Iraq be liberated?

It’s not often I blog about news from Iraq but today is an exception. This post is partly on Saddam being sentenced to death but there is a much bigger reason that will become clear very soon.

Saddam was today found guilty and sentenced to hang.

When the news broke that he was sentenced to hang there were demonstrations for and against the verdict. It sounds like Iraq is finally allowing basic freedoms like freedom to protest right? Wrong! The protesters that were demonstrating against the verdict were attacked by the Iraqi army on national television. Sounds like they have a free press doesn’t it when the media can report on what is happening? Wrong! Those news channels that were showing the pro-Saddam demonstrations were shut down after Iraqi security forces raided them.

What freedoms does Iraq actually have seeing as how we liberated them? They have freedom to protest as long as they protest about what the government wants them to protest about and they have freedom of the press as long as the news broadcasts what the government wants them to broadcast.

If you want to know more then I recommend reading the Baghdad Burning blog by an Iraqi woman who is actually experiencing life in the newly liberated Iraq.

Bishop criticises Muslims

Here was me thinking that the church has surrendered to the forces of multiculturalism and then Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester goes ahead and criticises Muslims.

He criticised many Muslims for their “dual psychology”, in which they desire both “victimhood and domination”.

In the most outspoken critique of Muslims by a church leader, Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, said that because of this view it would never be possible to satisfy all their demands.

“Their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims, as in Bosnia or Kosovo, and always wrong when the Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists, as with the Taliban or in Iraq,” said Nazir-Ali.

“Given the world view that has given rise to such grievances, there can never be sufficient appeasement and new demands will continue to be made.”

What an unusual display of sincere honesty from a member of the Church. It’s just a pity he won’t be doing anything to stop it like joining a political party like the BNP.

Nick Griffin said far less than what that Bishop said and he is on trial for it. Will the bishop be put on trial?

Is there a lawyer in the house?

I have a few questions for those lawyer types.

At present you can only stand for election when you reach the age of 21 but recently the government has passed the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees, trainees or job seekers because of their age and ensure that all workers, regardless of age, have the same rights in terms of training and promotion.

Technically someone running to be an elected official is a job seeker so therefore if someone who was running to be an elected official was under 21 and they were banned from running it would surely mean that is illegal and that person under the age of 21 can sue the government?

Does anyone know if the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations nullifies the law on the age of candidates at elections? If not, why not?

Blog of the week

On this blog there is going to be a change on this blog to the bit you all love. I am changing the Blog of the month. Don’t worry. It’s not going anywhere, it’s just changing slightly.

From today there will be a blog of the week. At the end of the month I will decide which of the four blogs will get the honour of being blog of the month.

There are now three entries for links for this blog. Under the third links bit are those none blogs and blogs that never actually won the blog of the month because I thought it was important that I linked to them before the actual blog of the month day came up.

Now let’s get on with it…

The blog of the week for this week is Dr Rant which is 7 doctors ranting on the general state of the NHS.

I particularly like his post he made today which you can read here.

Fish to become extinct

Britain has to protect its fishing industry, despite warnings stocks could be virtually wiped out by 2048, the UK fisheries minister has said.

Ben Bradshaw said the warning, issued by scientists on Thursday, represented the world's biggest environmental challenge after global warming.

So, Mr Bradshaw are we going to be getting out of the European Union so that we are no longer signed up to the Common Fisheries Policy which would stop foreign fisherman from coming into British waters?

Wouldn’t it be best to only allow British fisherman to fish in British waters? You know the more fishermen there is the less fish there will be in the future but you already know that don’t you?

Veiled woman refused bus transport

A MUSLIM woman was prevented from getting on a bus in Greater Manchester because she would not remove her veil.

The 22-year-old Manchester University student from Oldham says other passengers laughed when the driver refused to let her on because he could not check her identity with her bus pass.

Now the driver's bosses at First Manchester are to meet with their trade association, the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), to seek advice on how to deal with the problem if other passengers with photo passes refuse to lift their veils.

Why seek advice? They did exactly the right thing.

The student, who didn't want to be named, tried to board the 59 bus to Oldham.

She said: "It is understandable because the driver has his duty, although he said it in quite a rude manner. It wasn't nice and other passengers were laughing.

"Bus drivers should be told how to deal with this situation. The veil is my choice and my religious duty. I am willing to go in and help the company so everyone knows what to do."

Yes. It is your CHOICE. If you don’t want to show your face I have a compromise. Give up your bus pass so you don’t need to show your face and confirm who you are. Deal?

The intifada intensifies

Symbols of the French state French state, including policemen, firemen and postmen, are under intensified attack from disaffected youths as the country faces the worst race relations crisis in its history.

Hardly a night passes without gangs — many of them from immigrant families — attacking police cars, buses and emergency rescue teams.

Yesterday, the weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur published a confidential report drawn up by a public service trade union, the CGT, containing scores of eye-witness accounts of brutal attacks on public servants who work in the worst suburbs, or "banlieues", from gas board workers to staff from the electricity company.

Its publication follows the revelation that attacks on police have soared this year, with some 14 a day, and a growing number of incidents in which officers have been lured into ambushes.

This has prompted a warning that the day France witnesses the lynching of a policeman is not far off.

The CGT report painted a graphic picture of violence: blocks of cement dropped on paramedic crews; washing machines pushed off balconies on to fire engines; electricity company agents too scared to cut off customers who have not paid bills, after being attacked with knives, guns and fists.

Nicolas Sarkozy, the interior minister and favourite to be the Centre-Right candidate for the French presidency next year, said the violence, which left scores of businesses in ruins and nearly 10,000 cars burned, was above all "territorial". Gangs were trying to seize control of a piece of territory, "and rule it by force", Mr Sarkozy said in an interview with Le Point magazine.

If I was the leader of France and a policeman was lynched that would be an official declaration of war for me. I would blockade the areas affected then send my air force in during about 8pm when it is dark and the lights are still on and just bomb them for 2 hours. They wanted a war, they can have one then.

There would be refugees of course that would flood out because they wouldn’t want to be killed. Those that rush out would be held in holding camps indefinitely. Those that stay will have their electricity and gas cut off with nothing going in for 2 weeks so that means no food. The army would then be sent in to restore order if it needed to be restored and round up everyone still living there and taking them to the holding camps.

Those in the holding camps would be told they can leave whenever they want but cannot live in France anymore. Those that choose to live outside of France can leave. They will be taken to the airport after being quickly investigated and put on a flight.

Those that choose to stay will face a lengthy investigation to see if they had taken part in any criminal activity. If there isn’t anything found they will be let go.

That is an extreme policy but those immigrants seem to think they can do anything they want. France is not the cesspool that they or their parents came from. If they want to act like animals they should be sent to the jungle.

Family breakdowns responsible for antisocial behaviour

Britain's teenagers are among the most badly behaved in Europe, a study by a think-tank has suggested.

On every indicator of bad behaviour - drugs, drink, violence, promiscuity - the UK was at or near the top, said the Institute for Public Policy Research.

The institute looked at the results of a number of studies of adolescents conducted in recent years.

The researchers believe the country's record can be explained by a collapse in family and community life in the UK.

If the breakdown of the family is the reason then we obviously need to do something to keep the family together and build a better life around the community.

My suggestions:

1. Harder to get divorces

2. When divorces do happen no money will change hands. You will leave the marriage with as much money and assets as you entered unless it was the other partner’s fault.

3. A tax cut if you live with your children and the other parent of the child.

4. Priority council housing for families with children

5. Free youth clubs

6. Free trips organised by the local council during the summer holidays for all the family. If all the family don’t attend then they have to pay if they want to go.

I can’t think of anything else. Anyone got any suggestions?

10% of crime committed by immigrants

A tenth of all crime in some parts of Britain is now committed by eastern European immigrants, shocking new figures reveal.

Police figures for the worst-affected areas show one in ten of all those arrested have come to the UK from the eight former Soviet states which joined the EU in 2004 - sending a massive wave of 600,000 immigrants flocking to this country.

The figures emerged as a leaked Whitehall memo warned of an eastern European crime explosion on Britain's streets once Romania and Bulgaria become the latest states to join the EU in two months time.

The secret Cabinet Office paper sent to Tony Blair and senior ministers highlights the risk of a sharp rise in street violence, people-trafficking, prostitution, cash-machine thefts and fraud.

The document claims that Romanian crime gangs are behind an astonishing "80-85 per cent" of cash machine crime in Britain - even before the country joins the EU.

Romania and Bulgaria have a combined population of 30million, and it is estimated that up to 600,000 could head for Britain when they gain free movement within the EU on January 1 - including 45,000 known "undesirables" with links to crime.

I don’t have the figures for 2005 but in 2004 there were 5.6 million incidents of crime, which means that foreigners commit 560,000 crimes

According to official figures there are 1.5 million immigrants in this country. Lets say that crime decreased to 5 million and 500,000 of it was done by immigrants (to make it easier for me). This would mean that for every 3 immigrants there is a crime committed.

Are open boarders worth it when all we get is the worst people mankind can offer?

Clock change 'would save lives'

Hundreds of lives would be saved if Britain's whole time system was shifted forward an hour, say council leaders.

The Local Government Association wants winter to be GMT +1, equivalent to British Summer Time. Summer, under the proposals, would be GMT +2.

Campaigners for change believe lighter evenings would make the roads safer for children and cyclists.

But any move to change the time system would be likely to face fierce opposition in Scotland.

In Scotland there would be concern over darker mornings affecting children on their way to school.

Once again it seems our government isn’t very creative. This Scottish problem could be solved easily.

Why not let head teachers decide the hours their school runs from so if in it is going to be dark Scottish schools those head teachers could decide to start their school at 10am and finish at 5pm.

Problem solved. All that is needed is for schools to decide their own times.

If only politicians were like me, there would actually be creative policies that would solve problems.

BNP case adjourned

The trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett for speaking the truth adjourned was adjourned until Friday. The usual assorted red freaks tried to disrupt the trial by trying to tamper with potential jurors by giving them leaflets about the ‘evilness’ of the BNP.

The hypocrites of ‘anti-fascist’ brigade got their students to pass the BNP lines en masse chanting. "Nazi scum - get off our streets"

I thought we were the Nazis? Aren’t the BNP the ones supposed to be telling certain people to get off the streets?

The intifada spreads

The intifada in France has spread across the nation to Marseille. A bus today was torched today and the French interior minister has sent riot police there to stop it from going like it is in Paris which is now like a war zone with 112 cars a day being burnt.

I don’t think it is even this bad in third world countries and France should be able to handle this.

What exactly are they doing? Why are they acting like a stereotypical Frenchmen? If you don’t want to be thought of as cowards why don’t you take them on? The French have a first world military and they have a group of Muslims in their country who aren’t too well armed.

The French should treat them as an invading army and shoot anyone on site that tries any rioting or attacking the police. There is no need for trials for invading armies.

More tax if Labour do their job


People who live in areas with good schools, clean streets and low crime rates face huge increases in their council tax bills.

Ah… Labour is charging people for doing the job they are supposed to be doing. We already pay taxes. The streets are supposed to be clean. We are supposed to have good schools and low crime rates. Why exactly do we have to pay more if the government is actually doing their job?

For the first time, data provided by the national census, school exam results and crime statistics will be fed into the calculations. Householder income, cohabitation and, in what many MPs will regard as a highly contentious move, ethnicity will be taken into account.

Why should ethnicity have any bearing on how much you pay? Who’s betting that white areas are going to get a bigger tax increase than those friendly Muslim areas?

Labour to punish the poor

Got this from Dizzy Thinks:

Brown and Miliband are planning to tax the poor off the road with plans for "a substantial increase in vehicle excise duty for higher-emissions vehicles" according to a leaked document in this morning's Mail on Sunday. The document, from Miliband to Brown, outlines a number of areas where the intention is to heavily tax everyone in an attempt to make them more environmentally friendly. It's not so much a stick as a baseball bat, and there is no carrot. Key proposals are:

• Substantial increase in road tax - bizarrely arguing that this will be an incentive to buy low emission cars. Which may be true for someone able to afford a new car, but won't be for low-income family of four driving a 10 year old Mondeo. I guess they're expected to catch a bus in our "integrated transport system".
• Remove the freeze on the fuel escalator by arguing it will create price stability of oil. I'm not quite sure how the tax on fuel in the UK impacts the global oil price, but that is the argument in the document.
• Total "road-user pricing". Basically a per journey charge to use roads which has massive technological and surveillance implications.
• Using Council Tax to target owner-occupiers who have have high emission homes. That basically means punishing those who live in period property.
• Putting VAT on air fares.
• Introducing an air passenger tax. That on top of the tax already, and presumably VAT.
• No stamp duty on purchases of "zero carbon" homes. Not quite sure how any home can be "zero carbon". This sounds like a headline grabbing policy that will never actually be applied because of its virtual impossibility to achieve. A bit like zero road tax on a car that is no longer in production.

Why does every problem have to be solved through tax? If anything there should be lower taxes. Some problems can be partly ‘solved’ through tax but if you want to reduce global warming then you have to do things that matter.

Here is what I would do:

Half petrol taxes because the correct petrol tax for the UK, for environmental reasons, is actually about half what we currently pay.

As planes have a lot of emissions something would be done about plane journeys. At the moment our skies are overcrowded with planes. With one policy I could change all that.

I would put a limit on the amount of plane journeys over Britain and then auction them off to plane companies. They would be sold in 10%’s meaning that if the limit was 100,000 each auction would sell 10,000 plane journeys. To stop a certain company getting them all a limit of 30% of all journeys would be implemented and the last 10% (which would be 90%) would not be given to the big companies but would be sold to smaller companies that are just starting up which would give the smaller ones a chance to catch up. I would then give the companies a chance to be able to trade their journeys if they weren’t going to use them for whatever price they wanted.

Seeing as how aeroplanes can have hundreds of people I estimate that the plane companies would purchase each journey for around £1000 which isn’t a lot if there are hundreds of customers per journey. This would give the treasury an extra £100 million atleast but it is bound to be more.

The auctions would be held every year.

The companies would then pass the cost on to the customer (if it is £1000 per journey for the aeroplane company it isn’t going to be much) and if it got expensive customers may decide to use other forms of transport.

I would then put £3 tax on every plane seat on every journey which would get the plane ticket even higher but not too high.

I would then scrap VAT on ferry/boat tickets and channel tunnel tickets for about a year to encourage people to use those to go abroad.

I would scrap VAT on energy saving light bulbs and renewable energy and low polluting products like low polluting cars, solar panels, double glazing and loft insulation.

This would discourage flying and may even encourage people from this country to holiday in this country more as it would be cheaper.

Abolition of Parliament bill is back...

Remember the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill or the Abolition of Parliament bill as it was affectionately known? If you don’t I covered it 8 months ago here.

I thought it had all died down but apparently it hasn’t. It is now in its final stages in the Lords and it is worse than ever.

The bill will drastically reduce parliamentary discussion of future laws. The bill gives ministers power to alter any law passed by Parliament.

Instead of a full day’s debate on the principle of the proposal, detailed line-by-line examination in committee, a second chance at specific amendment in the Commons and a final debate and vote, ministers will have to face at most a short debate in a committee and a one-and-a-half hour debate on the floor. Frequently the Government will face less than that. No amendments will be allowed. The legislative process will be reduced to a game of take-it-or-leave-it.

Any body created by statute, including local authorities, the courts and even companies, might find themselves reorganised or even abolished. Since the powers of the House of Lords are defined in Acts of Parliament, even they are subject to the Bill.

Carrying ID cards could be made compulsory, smoking in one’s own home could be outlawed and the definition of terrorism altered to make ordinary political protest punishable by life imprisonment. Nor will the Human Rights Act save us since the Bill makes no exception for it.

The Bill, bizarrely, even applies to itself, so that ministers could propose orders to remove the limitations about two-year sentences and taxation.

Yesterday the House of Lords voted to make the Bill safer, and lost, by just 13 votes.

There'll be a final vote this Thursday.

Dark Heretic has something on how we can stop it here

Paris erupts in minor skirmishes and bus burning

Minor skirmishes were reported in the French capital Paris on the first anniversary of two deaths which sparked riots across the country.

An additional 4,000 officers had been deployed and six were injured in fighting and 25 people were arrested.

"It was a relatively calm night," a police spokesman was quoted by news agency AFP.

In the latest incidents, at least two more buses were set on fire.

What exactly would the BBC class as moderate skirmishes? BBC bias strikes again.

I laughed when I read "It was a relatively calm night,”. What is a normal night like if that was a calm night?

Labour to raise taxes on alcohol?

Tax on alcohol should rise to reduce binge drinking among teenagers, Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt has said.

Why does Labour think tax will solve everything? If they don’t want binge drinking why have 24 hour drinking?

You know the drill everyone. It’s now time for my suggestions.

First tax on alcohol should be lowered, most of the time. At the moment £3.75 billion in tax revenue are lost to alcohol and tobacco smuggling. I don’t think we can stop this solely through policing and using customs. We should lower out tax on alcohol and tobacco to 5% above the European average. This would simply make it unprofitable for smugglers to go abroad to buy alcohol. Those that bought off smugglers would then have no choice but to buy from retailers. We could then experiment with legalising people bringing in alcohol and we could then downsize Customs and Excise which would save us further millions of pounds.

The majority of people are sensible drinkers. I don’t see why they should have to suffer tax increases.

Most people who binge drink are people who go night clubs and drink through the early hours of the morning. I am in favour of tax to partly solve the problem of binge drinking here but the taxes have to be variable (I seem to like a lot of variable-type policies).

Tax would increase to 10% above the level that they are right now after 11:30pm every night. We can either do that or increase the tax on alcohol after 6pm on a Friday and Saturday when people are most likely to binge drink. I think the second option is a much better option because by 11:30 they are probably already drunk so it’s probably useless to tax higher then anyway even though it wouldn’t harm the pub drinkers.

There is a second part to dealing with this too. If people harm themselves while drunk and have to go to hospital they will be made to pay the full cost of their hospital treatment. While this wouldn’t work in the short term it would catch on in the long term because in the short term those that regularly get drunk will think nothing will happen to them and will drink anyway but when they start paying a lot more money to the NHS if they are injured a lot they will think about what they are doing.

My proposal would save a lot of money as Customs and Excise could be downsized as we wouldn’t need them for alcohol and tobacco which I think is their biggest job at present. The NHS would save money because those that injure themselves would have to pay for themselves and would not be entitled to free healthcare for that particular injury. Alcohol misuse among all age groups is estimated to cost the NHS £1.7bn a year.

I estimate that with these proposals I could save £2 billion per year (without taking into effect the alcohol tax) as well as cut binge drinking to a less serious level.

The beginning of the end

It is the beginning of the end for the European Union. Nations are finally realising what a disaster the European project has been.

In Hungary they are rioting against their government for lying to them and showing complete contempt for the Hungarian people and democracy by publicly admitting that he had “lied, morning, noon and night” about the tax increases and public spending cuts that he had promised Señor Almunia before a recent election — and after the election was over, he naturally felt that his promises to Brussels were far more important than the ones he had made to Hungarian voters.

The resulting budget cuts of 7 per cent of GDP over two years would be roughly equivalent in Britain to closing down the entire NHS. And Hungary, remember, is being forced to do this to comply with the Maastricht treaty, without even being admitted to the eurozone.

In Italy their credit rating has been reduced to that of Botswana and the government is in a crisis. The Italian government is also on the brink of collapse because of Signor Prodi’s insistence on implementing tax increases and budget cuts demanded by Joaquín Almunia, the EU Economic Commissioner, under the terms of the Maastricht Treaty.

In Britain there has been a flood of Eastern Europeans taking jobs that Brits won’t be treated like slaves to do. This has resulted in unemployment that has not been this bad for years.

History will judge the European project as the worst blunder in the past century, surpassing the invasion of the Suez in the 1950s and the invasion of Iraq.

Islamofascists lose in Denmark

A court ruled on Thursday that a Danish newspaper did not libel Muslims by printing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that unleashed a storm of protests in the Islamic world.

Seven Danish Muslim organisations brought the case, saying the paper had libelled them with the images, which included one depicting the Prophet with a bomb in his turban, by implying Muslims were terrorists.

This is a victory for freedom and a defeat for the islamofascists who want to impose their will on an unwilling majority.

If muslims don’t like our ways they don’t have to live here.

Minimum wage and benefits

All this week I have been watching 18 Doughty Street which is an online tv station. Unfortunately I have missed the week it started and have been catching up by watching the archives.

I think 18 Doughty Street is excellent and is far better than what is on TV.

I just finished watching their film on minimum wage and was astonished to find what people on benefits could get so I have decided to write what I would do to change the benefits system. I will also be doing blog entries on other things they mention in other shows.

Minimum wage has something to do with it and by now my readers will probably know what my policy on minimum wage is but you can read it here. Basically there would be a variable minimum wage in each city as the cost of living is different in each city.

One of the hosts was from Australia. He also had a good idea which Australia already does. The minimum wage is different for each profession. While this is a good idea I think my idea is best and the Australia way is second best because I think that system would be far too complicated to figure out and it doesn’t really calculate in the cost of living in different parts of the country.

The next bit of the programme was on benefits. Firstly unemployment benefit and the fact that many people are far better off on these benefits. This has to end. I once believed that there should be a limit on the amount of time you could claim benefit for. Infact that is what one of the presenters argued for. I no longer believe that, instead we should strengthen the financial position of the lower paid.

At the moment the unemployed get their rent and council tax paid for while the low paid who don’t earn much more than those on benefits have to pay this. People who work and are low paid should get subsidised rent. They should still have to pay rent but there rent should be 50% less than those that are paid a lot. Something should be done about council tax too. I think council tax should be made into a flat tax and anyone earning below a certain level should not have to pay. The limit would need to be variable just like the minimum wage.

The unemployed also use their benefit to buy things that are luxuries like cigarettes and alcohol. This has to stop. Benefit money should only be used so you can survive. Instead of money being given to the unemployed they should receive tokens instead that can be redeemed for food, clothes, electricity, gas, water and other thing that may be needed. Tokens would be given costing a certain amount and would not be redeemable for things like alcohol and cigarettes. If you want them get a job.

This would get the unemployed out looking for work as no one wants to just ‘live’. They want to enjoy themselves. Tokens would stop people enjoying themselves on taxpayers’ money. They would not be able to go anywhere because they wouldn’t even have money for the bus unless the government deemed it necessary for them to have a bus pass so they could look for work.

The next bit of the 30 minute film focused on disability benefit. 10% of workers are now on disability benefit because apparently they can earn up to £40,000 per year including an allowance for their car. If they are on disability we should not be paying for their car. They don’t need it.

Those on disability should be split into three groups. Those in group 1 would be the most disabled. They are born disabled and cannot work at all. Those in group 2 would be those that have lost limbs or had serious illnesses that stop them from working like heart attacks and strokes. Those in group 3 are those that claim that they have injured themselves or cannot work for whatever reason like those alcoholics alcoholics and drugs addicts on incapacity benefit.

Those in group 1 would be given all that they need in cash and home help because they need it.

Those in group 2 would be given tokens and cash. 60% would be in cash and the rest in tokens. These would be helped back into part time employment if it is possible.

Those in group 3 would be given 90% tokens and 10% cash. Most of these are probably false anyway. In benefits they would get 20% less than they would get if they were working.

If we were going to do this we would obviously have to get rid of all the immigrants so wages weren’t driven down so people would feel that it was worth it to work.

Free speech trial delayed

The trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett has been delayed until 1^st November because of ‘administrative reasons’ as the Court is full of cases.

The BNP thinks that it is a totally different reason. Here is what they say on the issue:

Whereas the motley crew that turn up to chant against Free Speech are benefit-scrounging lay-abouts, students skipping lectures, full time left wing union officials and professional “anti-racists” the vast majority of BNP supporters are full time employees holding down a job or self-employed business folk who struggle to get time off at short notice. Those who had planned to attend on Monday 30th would have made arrangements with their employers, clients well in advance.

I was planning to go there on Monday too. Looks like I will just have to stay off college on the Wednesday instead. *sigh*.

That day is going to be very close to bomb fire night. I can just see the reds having a load of fireworks or something similar and firing them at the BNP supporters.

Fighting the persecution of bloggers

A BNP supporter blogger has come under attack for supporting the BNP and has had a number of sites take his link down for that reason.

In the spirit of solidarity I will link to his blog in my links section and I urge everyone to do the same.

The blog is called Islamanazi. It is a pretty good blog.

The blog was taken down because apparently the BNP are anti-Semitic. That’s news to me and the Jews that are in the party including a Jewish councillor. You can read about it here.

Labour support falls to lowest level in Decades

People are finally getting sick of Labour. Their support has dropped to 29% and Conservative support has risen to 39%. Lib Dem support is at 22% which means the ‘others’ are at 10%. I wonder if the majority of that 10% is the BNP vote?

This is the lowest support they have had since the 1980s. People are finally realising how bad this country has become under the leadership of Labour.

I think within 15 years Labour won’t even be a force in politics. At the moment their support mainly comes from Scotland as England is mostly Conservative. Scotland is going to the SNP and Lib Dems so the only support they have left is Wales and I don’t think that will last very long.

House Of Lords reform

House of Lords reform seems to be in the news a bit in the last couple of days. I have my own idea (as always) on how it should be dealt with:

Keep the hereditary and life peers if they want to stay but don’t pay them. Most if not all are probably rich anyway and only want to be lords for the status and they can be paid to make snobby speeches at parties that they will probably get invited to because of their status, just like so many ex prime ministers and Mrs Blair who can make 60k just be making two speeches.

These unelected lords also wouldn’t have the same voting power as the elected lords.

There would be an elected element of the lords of around 10% of MPs which would be around 65. They would have their own ‘super’ constituencies (10 mp constituencies = 1 lord constituency).

The Parliament Act would be changed. At the moment they can completely bypass all the lords and don’t have to care about them. Under my proposals the Parliament Act would be modified.

It would be modified so it could bypass the unelected Lords but the elected Lords would still have a vote.

Having an elected element may create a danger of creating a House of Commons clone which is a bad thing because the job of the Lords is to hold the government to account.

I think that the elected lords should be purely independent and the elections for lords would not include political parties. They would also have to fund themselves because donations would be banned too.

This would probably create trilateral legislature rather than a bilateral legislature though but I think the government would be far more accountable than it is now because the opposition parties have failed to hold the government to account on anything.

There would be a problem in fully independent elected lords. Would the people know what those Lords stood for? If not would the people bother to turn up and vote? If they were clear about what they stood for would it matter when they can’t initiate legislation anyway?

I don’t know the answer to any of those questions but they would have to be sorted out beforehand or the role of the Lords modified in a way to give them more power. Should we make it so that the elected lords have to agree to send troops abroad before they are sent? This would certainly stop our soldiers being sent on foreign wars but is that a good thing?

How many years would lords be elected for? I say every 6 years.

Are all cultures really equal?

Police and health authorities fear that 25,000 British girls are at risk of genital mutilation.

African immigrants are clubbing together to pay for practitioners to fly to Britain and circumcise their daughters in highly secretive rituals.

Police believe that the trend has developed among parents who do not have passports or cannot afford to return to their home countries to have their daughters circumcised, a brutal practice that remains commonplace throughout Africa.

The procedure is generally performed by elderly women, in unsterilised conditions with no anaesthetic. Children as young as five have parts or all of their clitoris or labia removed. Some have their vaginas sewn up or the flesh shrunk with corrosives.

In Britain, female circumcision — or female genital mutilation (FGM) — is illegal, and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment. The penalty has, however, failed to halt the practice, with thousands of young girls taken abroad each year for that purpose. There has never been a prosecution, although it has been an offence since 1985 with the introduction of the FGM Act. Since 2003, taking a child to another country to have it done has also been an offence.

Female circumcision among the African community in Britain has been commonplace for years but the wider population has been unaware of it. Now, however, police, social services and health workers have become concerned. They believe it to be widespread, with about 25,000 young girls remaining at risk in Britain, according to the Foundation for Women’s Health Research and Development (Forward).

Diversity… had enough of it yet?

If all cultures are equal then this can’t be a bad thing? Ask that the next time you hear someone saying all cultures are equal.

It is obvious to anyone that there are inferior cultures and this is just one example. The culture of the west is vastly superior to other cultures.

This law obviously is unworkable because the victim won’t tell anyone what is happening so the law needs to be changed to ban any circumcision practitioners from even entering the country. If they are even suspected of being one then they will be deported without appeal. Those parents that are trying to get their child circumcised will be jailed and then deported. There will be no appeals on deportation.

DNA database 'should include all'

Tony Blair called yesterday for the national DNA database to be expanded to include every citizen.

He said there should be no limit on the development of the database because it was vital for catching serious criminals.

The Conservatives accused him of attempting to expand the DNA database by stealth and called for Parliament to vote on whether details of people who were innocent or not charged should be included against their wishes.

The Prime Minister said the public backed the extended use of DNA and urged police forces across the country to make use of technological advances to reopen thousands of unresolved "cold cases".

The national DNA database has expanded by about a third to 3.6 million profiles since the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which allowed police to take and keep DNA samples from everyone arrested for any imprisonable offence - regardless of whether they were eventually convicted.

The use of the new powers has proved controversial. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that a grandmother who was arrested after a dispute with a neighbour was required to give a DNA sample. The case was later dropped for lack of evidence but her DNA will remain on the database.

The UK has the largest database in the world and is drawing attention from countries throughout Europe keen to learn from its experience.

It should not be included to include every citizen. Why should the government be allowed to hold our DNA? The government should never be allowed to have that much power.

Those that are not charged or are found innocent in court should not have their DNA on file. Only those that have been sent to jail for a legitimate offence should have their DNA on record. I don’t class calling Islam a “vile and wicked” faith a legitimate offence.

Labour is forever trying to find ways of snooping on the public. It’s time they should just piss off.

Labour cons the public

With Labour’s finances in the red they are conning people into delivering their own leaflets and making them pay for the privilege. How nice of them. It’s like how they work as the government.

Labour did apologise but did not reimburse anyone for their costs.

You can't put me on trial! It's party time!

A man accused of terror charges has been excused a first public appearance in court because he was celebrating the end of Ramadan in jail.

A total of five charges have been brought against 20-year-old Mohammed Atif Siddique, from Clackmannanshire, under the Terrorism Act of 2000.

Judge Lord Kinclaven continued the case until next month.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Our judiciary have turned into Dhimmis. Our police are the same way to. Just look at the website of Lancashire Police. Can you spot what I am talking about?

Smokers to be given second class healthcare

Smokers will be denied life-changing operations unless they agree to kick the habit, it was revealed today.

Cash-strapped hospitals say patients will not be given treatments such as hip and knee replacements until they try to give up. Those who fail could be denied treatment all together.

Regular readers will know I support something similar to this. I support banning free healthcare for treatments to do with smoking related illnesses. I don’t support banning all free healthcare just because a person smokes.

Smokers pay a lot of taxes. If they are going to be given a blanket ban on all treatment I assume the government will remove tax on tobacco and make smokers pay less in national insurance payments seeing as they will be given second class healthcare?

French police face 'permanent intifada'

On a routine call, three unwitting police officers fell into a trap. A car darted out to block their path, and dozens of hooded youths surged out of the darkness to attack them with stones, bats and tear gas before fleeing. One officer was hospitalized.

The recent ambush was emblematic of what some officers say has become a near-perpetual and increasingly violent conflict between police and gangs in tough, largely immigrant French neighborhoods that were the scene of a three-week paroxysm of rioting last year.

On Sunday, a band of about 30 youths, some wearing masks, forced passengers out of a bus in a southern Paris suburb in broad daylight Sunday, set it on fire, then stoned firefighters who came to the rescue, police said. No one was injured. Two people were arrested, one of them a 13-year-old, according to LCI television.

Ethnic integration and violence against police are both becoming issues in the campaign for the French presidency. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, the leading contender on the right, said this month that those who do not love France do not have to stay, echoing a longtime slogan of the extreme-right National Front: "France, love it or leave it."

"First, it was a rock here or there. Then it was rocks by the dozen. Now, they're leading operations of an almost military sort to trap us," said Loic Lecouplier, a police union official in the Seine-Saint-Denis region north of Paris. "These are acts of war."

Sadio Sylla, an unemployed mother of three, watched the Oct. 13 ambush of the police patrol in Epinay-sur-Seine from her second-floor window. She, other witnesses and police union officials said up to 50 masked youths dashed out from behind trees.

One of the three officers needed 30 stitches to his face after being struck by a rock. On Saturday, five people were placed under investigation for attempted murder in relation to the ambush.

I thought they were just throwing rocks and stuff like that but they even have tear gas. Sounds like they are as well armed as the police in some instances and when they aren’t as well armed they use shear numbers to overpower the police and even the police think they are using military tactics.

Atleast French politicians are realising that Le Pen and the Front Nationale were right all along. It’s time for the French to vote for him in the next presidential election. I truly think that they have a chance of winning.

If Le Pen isn’t elected I honestly don’t think France will ever solve this. He is a hardliner and I am convinced he would solve it. I would send the troops in and lay down martial law in the areas where they are attacking police. I would then raid every house. If someone is found that had been rioting they would have a trial and if found guilty immediately deported.

Blair caught lying to troops

Thousands of British troops including SAS soldiers have been 'cynically betrayed' after frontline allowances were reduced behind their backs.

The cuts have been uncovered by The Mail on Sunday less than a fortnight after Tony Blair and Ministers boasted they were paying tax-free bonuses of £2,240 to soldiers in danger zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.

But now a change in allowances when troops are separated from their families means those deployed on two six-month tours over two years will have their payments reduced from £6,679 before tax to £4,338, a loss of £2,341.

It wasn’t too long ago that he said that troops wouldn’t have to pay tax on their wages and now he reduces their wages so it’s the same as it was anyway.

Blair has betrayed our hardworking brave troops and expects them to fight in terrible conditions in a foreign land just so he can cosy up to Bush.

Sooner or later our army is going to be so sick of the exploitation that most will quit and we won’t have an army to speak of but that’s what Labour wants. Since they have got into power they have literally destroyed our armed forces and have no remorse for doing so. Shot these traitors out wherever you find them at the next elections.
