Criminal justice system has failed.
Am I the only one that thinks that the criminal justice system has allowed these riots to happen?
In my dim and distant past, sentencing fit the crime.
There were no ASBOs', no “community sentencing”, and no “the poor man has come from a deprived neighbourhood”.
The law was absolute with no excuses.
In the eighties and nineties we saw a gradual change from natural justice to a view that the perpetrators of crime were just victims of their circumstances. Ie if you didn’t bother to learn anything at school , and hence were unemployable, then it was for some reason or other, not your fault.
What we saw was a change in the sentencing system that judged that those from sink estates were considered to be victims of an unjust society and had to be protected as it was not their fault that they had transgressed.
What we need to see is a profound sea change in the sentencing of those who transgress the laws of the land. Sentencing that fits the crime.
No more £80 fine for shoplifting. Six months for a first offence, rising to five years for the second.
Burglary, Six months for the first offence, ten years for the second.
let’s have no excuses that the prisons are full. Simple. Build more prisons..

Rioting fail
Apparently we had rioting in Kent as well last night according to BBC (Spits) South East, thirteen people were arrested.As reported by thisiskent
The first distrubance (Their spelling mistake, not mine) of the night happened yesterday at around 8.30pm in Hope Street, Gillingham, and saw confrontations between youths and the police.
Crews from Kent Fire and Rescue Service were called to a car fire in New Street, Chatham, at 12.56am, followed by another vehicle on fire in the Wickes car park in Maidstone Road at 1.07am and a third car alight in the Chatham Tesco multi-storey car park at Eldon Street at 1.29am.
Almost an hour later, at 2.20am, crews dealt with a small rubbish fire in a shelter on Rainham High Street before tackling a number of bin fires in Gillingham High Street at 2.34am. Officers also dealt with numerous incidents of criminal damage to cars in the area.
Well done Kent Police in tackling the 15,000 15 rioters.
Incidents of vandalism were reported in Chatham, Rainham and Gillingham overnight after a group of around 15 young men, understood to have travelled to the area by train, set several fires across the towns.
Seems that Kent can’t even home grow their own Mob. Shame on you, the underclass, in Kent.
Am I being to harsh on the Scumbags of Kent, or should it be Kentish Scumbags?
The Metropolitan police need your help.

Beware. You maybe riot too much.
I see that there are now copycat riots starting in Birmingham now. As I suspected, it is, for the majority of the country’s underclass, just an excuse for a lootfest .
Attackers smashed shop windows and stole property in Birmingham, north of London, police said on Monday, the first sign that riots that have gripped London in recent days have spread beyond Britain's capital.
"Several premises in the centre have been attacked with some shop windows smashed and property stolen in various locations," West Midlands police said in a statement.
What worries me is that some clown in Government may decide that the time is rife to enact the civil contingencies act.
f)prohibit, or enable the prohibition of, assemblies of specified kinds, at specified places or at specified times;
(g)prohibit, or enable the prohibition of, travel at specified times;
(h)prohibit, or enable the prohibition of, other specified activities;
(i)create an offence of—
(i)failing to comply with a provision of the regulations;
ii)failing to comply with a direction or order given or made under the regulations;(iii)obstructing a person in the performance of a function under or by virtue of the regulations;
(j)disapply or modify an enactment or a provision made under or by virtue of an enactment;
(k)require a person or body to act in performance of a function (whether the function is conferred by the regulations or otherwise and whether or not the regulations also make provision for remuneration or compensation);
(l)enable the Defence Council to authorise the deployment of Her Majesty’s armed forces;
(m)make provision (which may include conferring powers in relation to property) for facilitating any deployment of Her Majesty’s armed forces;
These riots give our politico’s carte blanche to use this pernicious law to stamp down on freedom of expression, and hence allowing total control of the population. Stalin would be proud.
I’m sure they are itching to use the act. Solves the problem of us the great unwashed getting uppity.
UPDATE. Video footage.
All aboard the EU Gravy train.
I’m a bit late with this but at least I will have my rant about it.
A SENIOR aide to David Cameron says the Prime Minister has ruled out a referendum on EU membership because Britain delivered a “very clear result” on the issue 36 years ago.
In an extraordinary letter described last night as “ridiculous and insulting”, Laurence Mann, Mr Cameron’s political private secretary, said the British people did not want another in or out vote because it would be “artificial and simplistic”.
Instead, he said Britons should be grateful for the EU’s “useful work” on global warming and global poverty and stand by a decision made almost two generations ago on the far less federal body known as the Common Market.
No, you stupid Fuckwit we didn’t vote for this at all. We voted for a Common market.
*As an ex lifelong Conservative voter of 62 I say, in that case, we need Mr. Cameron and his government OUT as soon as possible.
He has astonishing temerity, and demonstrates extraordinarily irrational thinking for someone trusted to run the country, when he asserts that the decision was made - irrevocably - 36 years ago when we joined a mere cartel of nations in a TRADING AGREEMENT. (We did not then - or ever - agree to join a federal European State or turn over control of our sovereignty and internal affairs to the French or Germans.) What other decisions made 4 decades ago are sacrosanct and not open to review in drastically changed circumstances, Mr. Cameron ?
What is the hidden agenda in EU membership for politicians of both major parties ignoring the will of the people and their desire to have a say in their own destiny. What are they AFRAID of in the result of a referendum.
I have said before that it is ABSURD that just 650 MPs - a mere 0.0009% of the UK population with no track record of any great wisdom and even less in relevant qualifications or experience - should be allowed to take the EU decision on behalf of 70 million people affected, the majority of whom are well known to be opposed to continued costly and autocratic EU membership.
We need to elect a government that will honour the desire of the PEOPLE to participate in decisions on this major issue. We elected a government in May 2010, not a dictatorship; we had enough of that with the other lot.
It's going to have to be UKIP I'm afraid.

Riots spreading
It looks like the rioting is spreading.
A POLICE car has been attacked in Enfield Town amid clashes between rioters and police.
The vehicle in Church Street was pelted with bricks, while police have confirmed that two shops were targeted by gangs of people with hoods and scarves covering their face.
So that’s Tottenham, Wood Green, and now Enfield.
I’m disappointed. Could they not aim higher and decamp to Westminster?
Welsh?
A bloke was driving down a motorway in England with his blonde girlfriend and she piped up, ''I think those people in the car next to us are from Wales .''
''Why do you think that?'' he asked.
''Well, the kids are writing on the window and it says, 'stit ruoy su wohs'.''
