Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights, comprised of peers and MPs from all parties, has reached a conclusion that many of us formed a long time ago – the government’s response to the threat of terrorism in the UK far exceeds the probability of an incident. The committee has questioned whether ministers could legitimately argue, […]

Robin Hood And The Twitter Terrorist!
It’s a well known fact that Twitter is the place where terrorists the world over announce their intentions to commit another outrage. Well isn’t it? Errrr actually no it’s not. It is, instead, a place where millions of people the world over empty their heads by sharing thoughts that can sometimes be outrageous and stupid. […]
Was Hoon Just The ‘Puppet’?
If you feel your life is a little bit cold at the moment, Geoff Hoon must be finding it positively Siberian. After yesterday’s failed attempt, with Patricia Hewitt, to stir up a leadership challenge in his party, he is now having to suffer the full scorn and ridicule of his colleagues. I have surprised myself […]
UK Policing -A Change For The Worse!
Last time I checked, we were living in a free society where the right to demonstrate was just that – a right. When it was peacefully carried out, it was unhindered by the police – intervention only came about after a public order offence was being, or likely to be committed. This disturbing video report […]
PM Brown Takes Low Blow From Blears!
If the wheels on Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s bus have not yet fallen off, they are certainly wobbly to the point of collapse. Following yesterday’s rumour that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is to leave his cabinet, Communities Secretary Hazel Blears, has now followed, using perfect showbiz timing (some might question what she ever did anyway). […]
Extradition To US Without Evidence – Time For Change!
Yesterday, I was sent a request to sign a petition on behalf of a husband and wife living in Scotland, to stop their extradition to the USA. Their names are Brian and Kerry-Ann Howes and they have four children. Their ‘crime’ is to have supplied two chemicals – both of which are perfectly legal in […]
UK Is Slave Trade Destination.
One week after my post Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex revealing children going missing into the slave trade from a children’s home in Hillingdon, Parliament’s Home Affairs committee has declared that the UK is fast becoming a destination of what amounts to a modern-day slave trade. The MP’s from all parties that make up the […]
Heathrow Children Trafficked For Sex!
Q. How do you lose 80 children in just over two years? A. Put them in a children’s home run by Hillingdon council. As incredible as it may seem, that is what has happened to many of the children – mainly of Chinese origin – who have arrived unaccompanied at Heathrow Airport. They are taken […]
The Home Secretary’s Final Comedy Routine?
As any good comedian knows, it is all in the timing. So what better proof could we have all been shown, than that supplied by the woman who has given us many laughs over the past few weeks, Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith. On the same day she has announced the introduction of the controversial identity […]
A Crashing Time For Police Drivers!
Figures obtained under the Freedom Of Information Act have revealed that police officers caused over 64 accidents per week last year – that’s a staggering 3,357 over the full year. Since 2004, the number of police-related car accidents has also included the loss of 150 lives. These figures may even be lower than they should […]
