Hypocrisy and double standards

 

 

UKIP has suspended Alex Wood one of its candidates as there is a photograph of him on Facebook showing him leaning forward with an outstretched left hand in what some are saying is a Nazi salute, but if it was a Nazi salute he should have been raising his right arm. But is this any worse than Aiden Burley MP a close friend of David Cameron who was a a stag night in France with people who were dressed up in Nazi SS uniform with Swastika arm band chanting Hitler Hitler Hitler and insulting the French restaurant staff. Which is worse? But is it people just out to get the UKIP a bad name because the Tories are running scared.  

Child or Adult.

A youth has gone to the high court and has won an appeal that says that people  under 17 have to be treated as children by the police. This in the light of two 16 year old who committed suicide whilst in police custody and the police said that they were adult,s and as such their parents hadn't needed to be informed that they were in police custody. Now not just the law but society has to decide at what age a child becomes an adult. There are people who wanted the age for people to vote be reduced from 18 to 16. If this went ahead would  this mean that children would  now be able to vote at election times.

Common sense not this joke called justice.

 

Theresa May the Home Secretary has lost another round to deport Abu Qatada. Its now about time that this so called justice was ignored. David Cameron wants to get the security service to take Abu Qatada from jail and put him on an RAF plane and fly him to Jordon to stand trial there. If the Jordanian authorities have said that evidence obtained under torture would not be used then we have to accept their word. If Cameron did deport him his ratings would go through the roof  with 99% of the country  supporting  his action. If the justice department said what he had done was illegal then he could use the same law that has helped Qatada to stay here for the past ten years. He could use the same so called justice dragging it out for another ten to twenty years by appealing to the same courts that he has used.

Met Police Racism

Today is the twentieth anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence. It was said that the met police were racist yet this attitude will continue as long as we have such things as the Black Police Officers Association. This again is black police officers not wanting it would seem wanting to join a union that is for all rank and file officers. This attitude also goes for barristers who have their black associations. If they want to say that we are not a racist country then such organisations should be outlawed most trade unions in this country do not have black branches. It doesn't matter what there colour is they are all union members with the same rights for all there members. Again is this not the black people that are the real racists, not the whites

New police commissioners

It would seem that when the new police commissioners were elected a few months ago it was poorly advertised and only 14% of those people eligible to vote did so. Many of those elected had no experience but more worrying is that many of them have gone on spending sprees and cronyism by chosen friends or colleagues to be their deputy or other well paid positions. These people were elected to oversee their police forces but it now seems that many of them can't be trusted. In Cumbria the police commissioner their has used his position to claim for two chauffeur driven trips  costing over £700 he has since repaid this money but only after two people reported it. These two people have since been arrested by the police on data protection offences. These people were doing their duty, as the police commissioner was abusing his position. This comes after another police commissioner picked a seventeen year old as a youth crime commissioner then it was discovered that this girl had sent abusive text and e-mails previously she should have been vetted but the commissioner was not it would seem doing her job properly. Again who can the public trust today. 

Thatcher lover or loathe her

People either loved her or loathed her there are union leaders and members who blame her for the demise of the unions power. The labour opposition at the time said that they would repeal the conservatives anti union legislation as soon as they got into power. But when they came to power how many of these laws did they repeal? Not one, because Thatcher was right, the unions controlled the county with people like Red Robo who spent more time making car workers strike than working. Then we had the poll tax it might have been something that most people disliked but it helps run local councils economies. Then we had the closure of the coal mines with thousands of people loosing their jobs but if we had kept the mines we would have had to close them down today because of the green agenda for the world environment. So Thatcher was twenty years ahead of any other government in Europe with her policies. What would Tony Blair have done he would have had to close the mines, even against the threat of the unions, and their leaders. There are many more reasons for or against her policies that will be debated for years to come.
