If there is a God, he provided you with a brain. Use it and get rid of this corrupt, inept and diabolical mob.

In 2002/03, they were each allowed to claim up to £19,682 from the additional costs allowance, which is intended to help MPs maintain a second home.
It also emerged yesterday that unmarried MPs are pushing for the right to free travel for their long-term partners. It would enable them to travel first-class at taxpayers' expense between
A man shot dead by police as he brandished a sword was justifiably killed, an inquest jury has ruled.
Ten rounds to stop a disturbed citizen is not good enough. It only reinforces the argument on weapons that both the civilian administration and police ignore. It goes to the heart of reasonable force and effective deterrents and covers all who legitimately carry weapons for the defence of the people.
A recent programme on the Vietnamese war concluded that the American Armalite (AR 15 –M16) could not compete with the more robust AK47. The statement used was…”it cannot be said that the Armalite lost the Vietnamese War for the Americans, but the AK47 definitely won it for the Viet-Kong”. One of the major reasons was the calibre of the bullet. The M16 was a smaller, but with a higher velocity round which hits you with the same impact of a hypodermic needle, whereas the Kalashnikov hits you a lot harder even though it was not travelling as fast. From a soldier’s point of view, you need a weapon that inflicts the most damage, I.E. can stop the enemy even though it does not kill them – get squeamish folks but this is realism. Don’t even cloud the issue with the Annie Oakley bits about shooting someone two inches about the knee or in the left arm – that’s fantasy land into which the Procurement Office has dived.
The carbines and small arms of the police are, as is proven in this case, insufficient to deter a deranged or even overly agitated person. The police are armed, in certain instances, with a high calibre weapon for stopping vehicles by puncturing the engine, not that I am advocating the use of such a weapon against people, but I would have no qualms about shooting a terrorist with one. To downgrade the British Armed Forces from the substantial and proven Nato 7.62 to the completely ineffective 5.56 was either a case of gross incompetence or down right corruption. Having test fired several weapons for other Governments, I know where my suspicions fall.
This leads me to my conclusion. Not a single police officer has ever been charged with weapons offences when a citizen has been killed, yet every soldier has to reacquaint himself with the Rules of Engagement every time he goes to pull the trigger. The cases of soldiers being imprisoned for shootings in Northern Ireland are legend, even though over 600 soldiers were killed doing their duty – a statistic that MP’s like Shahid Malik of somewhere in Yorkieland seems not to know – the burden on them appears to be more Draconian than on the lesser well trained civilian policeman. So if the policeman is poorly trained and issued with inadequate firepower, how disconcerting must it be for a soldier, who is highly trained, to be issued with a weapon that probable cannot save his/her life? Letter to your Member of Parliament, please.

Hero Marine is up for Victoria Cross Unusual. The only thing that Bootnecks usually get is shitfaced, a dose and a loss of tot. Well done, Royal.
Coroner rules out Diana murder verdict After 10 years someone is showing some sanity. There has been little compassion for two young men who have lost their mother. Let this be an end.

In an era where it is legitimate for Black Africans to destroy every scintilla of democratic decency, where the rest of the world cannot make any comment for fear of being told that their views are that of the Empire, is it not time that the Liberal West realize what double standards are being applied towards attitudes?
If this is a man’s deep felt belief, right or wrong, what the Hell has it got to do with the police? When an illegal Ghanaian woman was sent back to her own country even though she was/is dying of some disease or other, there is an outcry. Where is the outcry when veterans cannot get pain relief because the NHS authority cannot afford the drugs? But Pinky Liberals want drugs for the world?
Mugabe has destroyed the integrity of what was once the finest place on Earth to live. His hyenas bark at his command, and still do now after thirty years of feeding from the trough. Jacqui Smith, in her interview with the Marrs Bar Kid left me with the impression that she would be happier in a fascist
