Let them try

They really don't know when to stop digging.

Police are threatening to report motorists to insurance companies if they leave valuables, CDs or even old coats on show in their cars.

They are planning to sneak around car parks and streets checking vehicles for anything that could catch the eyes of thieves.

When are the Police going to go back to the old fashioned notion of catching the offenders? I can't for one minute, see how this is going to get the law abiding citizen on side.

I'm also wondering if in giving the info to insurance companies might be a breach of the data protection act.

No wonder the complaints are up by 25% this year.

Police target the innocent

I've been around for a while in this sceptered Isle and I'm afraid to say that my opinion of the police, as a force for good, is no more.

Michael White is an out of touch TO**ER

Michael White gets a roasting over at the Guardian over his article intimating that Baroness Scotland has only made a silly little mistake.

I don't think we can expect the attorney general to have spotted a dodgy passport.

This is not such an occasion. Labour is short of competent lawyers (they make so much money in private practice today). Scotland is a competent female, black lawyer. A second chance is called for. But don't do it again.

He really gets it in the neck.

Conspiracy, Naaah.

From the Daily Telegraph:

Stephen Hesford, MP for Wirral West, has resigned in protest as parliamentary aide to Baroness Scotland, the Attorney General, after she was allowed to keep her job despite being fined for employing an illegal immigrant as her housekeeper.

It sounds like an honourable thing to do, but me being a bit of a conspiracy theorist, wonder if he has resigned to take the heat of the Baroness. After all it's filling the MSM and the blogosphere.

I shall watch the New Year honours list with interest.

Lord Hesford of Wirral West maybe.

Gordon's Medal

It's what he should have been awarded.

They're coming to take me away ,ha, ha

Just been over to Fausty's blog and followed this link:

Personality disorders


Seems like they can lock you up without you even having to do anything these days. Bloggers beware!

I'm stupid?

I might be a bit thick.

Baroness Scotland has only been fined for not copying the documents of her Tongan maid. Surely, if there are no copies of the documents, then how do we know, that she even looked at them at all? Shouldn't she have been fined the maximum?

Even Elvis says NO to the lisbon treaty

A catchy little number from the King.



H/T to VOTR

They stoop even lower

How can they get away with such a hate video as this.

NHS Birmingham North & East 'Fight Back' anti-smoking advert directed by photographer Rankin, in which a smoker is shown being beaten up by an invisible assailant as he smokes a cigarette

Maybe it should be classified as a hate crime against smokers? It encourages violence to smokers.

Fun

Automatically Guilty

An article in the Times today. Labour are considering changing motoring law so as to make drivers automatically guilty.

MINISTERS are considering making motorists legally responsible for accidents involving cyclists or pedestrians, even if they are not at fault.

So I'm going to be guilty if some Lycra clad, "Twat in a hat", runs into the back of me, or weaves in and out of the traffic and gets hit? Labour really are desperate to get someone to vote for them.

Where I live, they converted the pavements into cycle lanes, filling in the bus laybyes in the process, causing traffic snarl ups in the rush hour. Pity no-one uses these cycle lanes.
