News roundup 24

Spread Islam to reduce prejudice. How about no.

New nurses left jobless by budget squeeze. We will import more anyway.

Dangerous prisoners may get early release. Just what we need.

Thugs force old soldier from home. Lynch them!

Now, that’s the end to that this is my 100^th blog post this month. I won’t be blogging as much for the next few days.

Government caught lying

The number of failed asylum-seekers deported by the Government has fallen by more than a quarter during the last year, it was disclosed today.

New Home Office figures show that the number of would-be refugees who had been refused leave to remain fell by six per cent between the first and second quarters of this year - and a further 28 per cent compared to the same period last year.

The Government admitted the slowdown, but claimed that it was because the Home Office was attempting to concentrate on deporting foreign criminals instead.

What the government claim is a lie. It was almost a year ago when they decided that they decided the foreign prisoners were no longer a priority. Even if they weren’t lying they haven’t even deported 300 at the last count. Are we supposed to believe that these foreign prisoners who they can’t find or deport are responsible for the government not being able to deport asylum seekers? They are either lying, inept or both.

Scottish smoking ban causes side effects

The smoking ban which is a year old in Scotland is causing some unexpected side effects in Scotland. The smoking ban has caused drinkers to drink outside which has resulted in a sharp rise in complaints from people being kept awake at night by the chatter of smokers which has led to a doubling in the number of incidents being dealt with by the Edinburgh Community Mediation (ECM) service.

Apparently these disputes are ruining people’s quality of life and their health as the disputes can last for quite some time. Does this now mean that the smoking ban has had the opposite effect as it is starting to ruin the health of the non-smokers?

One sixth of Eastern Europeans on benefits

Good news everybody. The number of Eastern European immigrants into this country has slowed. Unfortunately we have around 700,000 of them in this country.

Having so many immigrants isn’t the worst of it either because one sixth of them are claiming benefits which accounts for more than 100,000 Eastern Europeans claiming benefits even though they are supposed to come over here to work.

The figures reveal there were around 69,000 successful applications for child benefit and 38,578 recipients of tax credits from the so-called A8 - the eight Eastern European countries which joined the EU in 2004.

A further 803 East Europeans have qualified for state help because of homelessness and 3,600 have won entitlement to income support or jobseeker's allowance.

No more affordable homes says government

The government just can’t seem to get the hang of making affordable housing. Last month I blogged Last month I blogged that the government was going to make developers who build on flood plains liable for insurance for the next 20 years. I pointed out that this would make houses cost more which would hamper government plans to make lots of affordable housing.

They are doing the same again. This time they are going to force developers to build green energy devices such as wind turbines and solar panels onto new homes. This will of course push the price of new homes up but the government seem not to know this or they are trying to complete two opposite objectives which can’t be done. Someone should tell the government that if they want to build affordable homes they can’t force developers to build unneeded extras onto the homes because the people who purchase the homes will actually pay for it.

Guard takes on yob and is sacked and arrested

What happens when you are a security guard who stops a yob from terrorising train passengers? If the experience of Paul Yarwood is anything to go by you will be sacked from your job, forced to sell your home because you can no longer afford the mortgage and be arrested and sent to court for threatening behaviour while the yob gets £80 for smoking in a public place.

Am I the only one that thinks that this is extremely stupid? It seems I am not the only one because his union is defending him and has already staged two local strikes which have been unsuccessful.

Troops have inferior equipment

It’s never a good idea to go to war with an army that is badly equipped but our government have done just that. According to General Sir Michael Rose our troops are being sent to war less well-equipped than they were 40 years ago.

I don’t think we were fighting two wars 40 years ago either but thankfully we are slowly withdrawing from Iraq unfortunately those troops won’t have long to rest and be with their families before they are sent to sunny Afghanistan to fight the Taliban. I bet they are enjoying fighting for us with inferior equipment and being treated like shit by the government.

Nearly half too afraid to leave home at night

A disturbing 42 per cent of people are too afraid of yobs to leave home at night, a Mirror poll reveals today.

Half of those quizzed feel less safe than a decade ago. A third have called police about anti-social behaviour.

Is it any wonder this is the case? Knife crimes have doubled to 175 per day and the police and courts are powerless to do anything. You might think catching these criminals would mean that they are sent to prison. Sadly that is not the case in most circumstances as only 10% of those caught are actually sent to prison while others get away with a slap on the wrist.

Sometimes you aren’t even safe in your own home. Neil Stanway, a gang member was issued with an ASBO a year ago but that didn’t stop him from breaking into Bryan Lord’s home and battering him to death. If he was dealt with properly the first time this would never have happened.

Sometimes you aren’t safe from your husband either. Take Colin Read, a management consultant on £90,000 a year. He branded his wife with a hot steam iron because she had failed to press his shirt and slashed her with a knife because she had forgotten to make his sandwiches. You might think that justice would be served and that he would be sent to prison for a few months atleast. Unfortunately he received a £2000 fine which is nothing if you are on £90,000 a year.

He was spared even a community punishment because the judge ruled that "special circumstances" suggested he was unlikely to reoffend and his job meant he was too "busy" to find the time to complete any order.

I would have made him find time even if it meant losing his job. Justice in this country is a joke. No wonder people are too afraid to leave their home. The law abiding citizens will lose whatever they do. They either take it or fight back. If they fight back then they get sent to prison for harming the scum that make communities hell.

Diana fund to spend £10m on asylum seekers. Oh great…

Stop moaning or leave the EU, Britain is told. We want to.

Council tax ‘snoopers’ to revalue homes. Why do they always want to tax us?

Firms forced to teach teenage workers the 3Rs. If the government gave a decent education they wouldn’t have to.

Health and safety chiefs: Bus-stop must face a hedge. That’s just stupid.

Government failing ‘may give freedom to dangerous prisoners’. It’s a certainty they will.

Free condoms for prisoners to cut disease. That’s just stupid. Atleast it’s only in Scotland.

A third of Britons believe: ‘You can’t be British AND Muslim’. Maybe if they stopped blowing us up, we would think different.

Defoe’s Foreign Office WAG. What a waste of money.

Soldiers will get free post

Soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq seem to be having a bit of good news for a change lately. On Saturday the government announced that they are going to conduct an Afghan medal review to see if they should give a special medal to those serving in Iraq.

Today, there is more good news with the news that soldiers and their families and friends will get free post which is bound to boost morale.

Don't recycle in Croydon

If you try to be environmentally friendly in Croydon you just might end up achieving the exact opposite especially if you want to recycle. You see you are no longer allowed to walk to the recycling centre. You now have to get in a long queue with your car even if you live right close to it. I hope I am not the only one that can see the idiocy in this.

The council workers have failed to figure out that recycling this way is probably going to damage the environment more than help it but they might know this because it seems that Health and safety considerations trump environmental concerns. The health and safety concern here is that apparently pedestrians and people in cars don’t mix and it’s unsafe. Whoever made this decision needs to be shot.

Hat tip: Nanny Knows Best

Gordon Brown exposed as a liar

Just over 3 weeks ago Gordon Brown pledged to kick out 4,000 foreign criminals. I said that he was lying because the Human Rights Act would not let him. It appears I was correct. Learco Chindamo who is a murderer looks set to be allowed to stay in this country after he killed head teacher Philip Lawrence. Apparently deporting him would deprive him of his right to family life but he wasn’t thinking of the family life of Philip Lawrence when he stabbed him to death. Gordon Brown has been exposed as a liar and a fraud.

Learco Chindamo isn’t the only dangerous foreigner that won’t be deported on Human Rights grounds. Hani al-Sibai who is a failed asylum seeker and terror suspect cannot be deported back to Egypt because human rights laws state that we can’t send him back to a country where he could be executed or tortured.

If you want this country to be safe, if you want convicted foreign criminals and terrorists to be deported then you should never trust Labour. They cannot be trusted with the safety of this country. They cannot be trusted to use common sense either.

What has Labour done to stop crime?

The government seem to be doing very little to stop crime. Infact the punishments that they give out seem to encourage it. About a week ago I blogged about Eastern Europeans plundering our fish stocks. You might have thought that if they were caught they would get a fine at the very least. No such luck I’m afraid. When an Eastern European was caught they were given a caution for poaching £1000 worth of fish and told to get on their way.

It’s not just poaching that you get a slap on the wrist for. Smoking cannabis in front of your children won’t even get you a fine. You will be just told not to do it again. I bet that’s going to stop them from doing it again and dissuading their children from starting.

What exactly have Labour done to stop crime? What about policed community support officers? No luck there. On average they are able to solve crime once every 6 years and in some parts of the country they can’t even solve one crime.

BBC drops Casualty episode to avoid offending Muslims

The BBC has dropped plans to show a fictional terror attack in an episode of Casualty to avoid offending Muslims.

The first show of the hospital drama's new series was to have featured a storyline about an explosion caused by Islamic extremists.

Now the bomb will be set off by animal rights campaigners instead.

Why are the news channels trying to appease the Muslims all the time? Surprisingly the BBC isn’t the only news channel appeasing Muslims and they aren’t doing the best job of it either. Last night ITV showed a documentary about what Jesus means to Muslims.

Why do the media have to constantly appease Muslims and worry about offending them with everything they do?

Boom in Quangos costs Britain £170bn a year

Labour voters ready to rebel in row over a Euro referendum. I should hope so.

Could health and safety bureaucrats get real jobs?

Why can’t health and safety bureaucrats get real jobs? Health and safety is probably the only job sector where you can get money for making decision which are stupid or taking actions which aren’t needed. If it wasn’t for health and safety we wouldn’t have people employed to check the safety of 20,000 gravestones.

It’s not all fun and games in health and safety. Sometimes they have to make tough decisions like what kind of shorts people can wear while swimming. For your information long shorts are not safe. I am so glad I was told about that. I will never swim in long shorts just in case I drown in a very horrible manner entangled in baggy shorts.

There were other blogs that Looking for a voice only just beat and these were Kirklees Resistance, Chicken Yoghurt, House of Dumb and Brussels Journal.

Stop taking African nurses

Read this article. It shows that all the aid in the world is still not going to help Africa one bit. What they need is for us to stop taking their nurses. You might think that we desperately need nurses but Africa needs theirs far more than we do.

The only way to help Africa is to train our own doctors and nurses and stop any of theirs coming here. Those doctors and nurses might want a better life by coming here but aren’t those people that stay in Africa entitled to a future too? How will Africa ever have a future when we take all their skilled personnel who could actually make a difference there?

Afghan envoys get pool while our troops go thirsty

With all the stories in the papers about the military lately you would be forgiven for thinking that our soldiers are neglected by our government but apparently they are not. Our armed forces minister thinks the government is doing their best for the armed forces.

If the government are doing their best it is strange to find out that the Foreign Office spent tens of thousands of pounds on an 18 metre pool and gym for their bureaucrats in their embassy in Afghanistan. It takes an estimated 50,000gallons of water to fill - enough to supply soldiers fighting the Taliban in the southern Helmand Province with 750,000 250ml bottles of water.

Asylum seekers at Yarl’s Wood demand glue for hair extensions, new flip flops and even a change of biscuits in… the great custard cream revolt. Why can’t we just deport them?
