Argentine President insults Falkland Islanders

Those who have never experienced democracy will never understand it. If there is one part of the British psyche that is unaffected by the weak political posturing of the British political system it is the people of the Falkland Islands.

The only time the Argentinians have set foot on the islands and they treated the inhabitants worse than slaves. It is an experience the Argentinian President ought to be reminded of, every day.

'Stupid' Cameron blasted over Falklands

Port Stanley, capital of the Falkland Islands

David Cameron's comments that Britain will keep the Falkland Islands have been dismissed as "mediocrity bordering on stupidity" by Argentina's president.

Cristina Fernandez Kerchner, who is running for a second term in power in elections this September, was responding to Mr Cameron's firm stance on the Falklands in prime minister's questions this week.

Calling the UK prime minister "arrogant", she said: "In the 21st century, Britain continues to be a crass colonial power in decline because colonialism is outdated and unjust. Read more at www.politics.co.uk

BNP Wigan on Parade

A stranger walks up to The BNP man from Wigan and shook his hand. Former Bootnecks and their wives talked down to him. Shambley has a voice and his one word is pleasant, unless you are a lying, thieving main line politician and supporter thereof.

Arromanche, not a Pink Flag in sight

British children say 'thank you' to the Veterans in Arromanche 6th June 2011

A Pink Flag flies over the town hall whilst a few yards away a handful of military standards try to pay homage to the thousands who sacrificed everything. An organiser infuriates the few participants by slobbering over a ‘dignitary’ whilst counting his wages from a dubious charity. Absent are the children to be educated, yet a disinterested holidaymaker lights a cigarette and the comment was heard, “get a blow job off a tart on that slab of concrete”.

LCI 112 was crewed by a “local boy”. No standard for him. Lennie from Leeds was still not 18 but his LCG was amongst the first craft to touch a well defended beach. It is stated that Lennie cannot make it to Blackpool promenade because he has dementia, yet no-one has asked if he would like to attend. The organisers seem very good at organising farce; that is what the theatres on the piers were famous for. But like the past fiasco over the local regiment, no-one asked the survivors. Because the veterans have an Association does not mean that Association talks for the Veterans. The Veterans have earned the right to talk for themselves and not falsely represented by big mouths and no affiliation.

A Mulberry was being slowly moved onto the beach under intense enemy fire, its only defence were the regiments of heroes fighting their way inland into the carnage of the day; English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish flesh fought side by side with Free French, Danes, Netherlanders, Polish and Empire troops, yet the Blackpool Cenotaph can muster but three veterans and the son of the HERO who had taken the Mulberry ashore on that day, the 6^th of June 1944.

The son of a crewman of the LCI112 was in Arromanche, Normandy, surrounded by thousands of foreign school children, each attempting to speak a foreign language, each thankful to the decreasing number of strange old people with their medals and badges, their laughter and tears and the smiles and handshakes from those children with no real idea of the sacrifice of others for them. The son of the crewman of LCI112 stood by the waters of the English Channel, gazed at the wrecks on the beaches and perused the daunting hills his predecessors had to scale to engage with a tyrant and obscene regime. Two 25 pounders and an ancient 5.5 artillery piece guard a modern museum and the son of the sailor scanned the thousands of pictures not knowing what his father looked like but certain he would recognise him if he was there. Back home in disrespectful Blackpool, the Cabals and Committees are talking for the son of the crew of LCI112. Not a single committee member talks to him. Not a member of the cabals recognise the treasonable actions of flying a pink flag over the Union Flag, a few yards from the most sacred symbol of service in the town.

Vitriol amongst the tame Commies

You can taste the hatred all the way up into the Cumbrian Mountains.

There is not a single British political party that can honestly say the stilettos are sheathed. I know Lieber was corrupt. I see it in my non-pension and the overcrowded barren lands of this once green and fertile land.

Labour spending: Gordon Brown and Ed Balls ignored warnings and wasted billions

The document is the first official evidence that shows the scale of concern over the activities of Mr Brown and those around him in his time as chancellor Photo: UPPA/ALAMY

A confidential document presented to the Cabinet in January 2006 asks: "We've spent all this money, but what have we got for it?"

It warns that the efficiency of the public sector needed to improve rapidly and insisted that "spending growth will slow". The document drafted by civil servants also says that "ineffective spending" must be "closed down". Read more at www.telegraph.co.uk

Drug girl in Blackpool school

What are drugs and what is tolerated?

Every school route is a nightmare for older folk as bad mannered and disrespectful small groups of school-kids blight the efforts and sociability of the more numerical decent kids.

It is the do-gooders who have made policing impossible. As youngsters we were always taught that the village made the child, but not any more. Chastise or reprimand a miscreant youth and YOU could end up with a criminal record.

School head in drug alert

“DRUGS will not be tolerated at our school.”

That was the message from Montgomery High School headteacher Simon Brennand after a pupil was found in possession of cannabis on school grounds.

The Gazette understands the 15-year-old girl was found with the drug at the school on All Hallows Road in Bispham last Monday.

Mr Brennand said: “We have dealt with a serious incident where a student carried a small amount of cannabis into school from home.

“This was immediately identified by senior staff and the necessary disciplinary and other action, including involvement with the police, was taken.

“I’m pleased to report no students were placed at risk and I’m unable to comment further in regard the individual student involved.” Read more at www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk

Rolled model

When Conservatives raised objections to this man being fostered on a constituency in the middle of England they were accused of every form of discrimination.

Those of us who smelt something rotten had to bite our tongues. Men like this shame the reputations of the likes of Senator Chief Chirau and Lee Kwan Yew.

Peer jailed for expenses fraud

Lord Taylor of Warwick falsely filed for travel and overnight subsistence to claim more than £11,000

A disgraced former Tory peer was jailed for 12 months today for fiddling his parliamentary expenses.

Lord Taylor of Warwick, 58, falsely filed for travel and overnight subsistence to claim more than £11,000 from the taxpayer, Southwark Crown Court heard.

He told the House of Lords members' expenses office that his main residence was a house in Oxford, when in fact he lived in west London.

The peer never stayed in and only twice visited the Oxford property, which was owned by his half-nephew's partner, and so he was not entitled to claim money for travelling from there to London and staying overnight in the capital. Read more at www.independent.co.uk

42 Commando casualties named

MoD Names Marines Killed In Afghan Blast

Monday, May 30, 2011

The British servicemen killed in an explosion in Afghanistan on Friday have been named by the Ministry of Defence.

They were Mne Sam Alexander, 28, from Hammersmith in west London, and Lieutenant Ollie Augustin, from Kent, both of 42 Commando Royal Marines.

The pair were on patrol in the Loy Mandeh area of the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province when they were caught in a blast from an IED (improvised explosive device).

Mne Alexander was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry during a previous tour of Afghanistan.

Colleagues said he embodied the attributes of a Royal Marines Commando and was "courageous, selfless, resolute".

As well as his wife Claire, he leaves a one-year-old son Leo, mother Serena and father Stuart.

Lt Augustin, who was leading the patrol on Friday, leaves his father Sean, his mother Jane and his sister Sarah.

Mne Alexander received the Military Cross in 2009 after saving the life of a colleague who had been wounded by Taliban fighters.

The citation said he carried out his brave actions "despite being completely exposed to heavy and accurate enemy fire".

His wife Claire said "Sam was so special. He was the gentlest of men but tough when he needed to be.

"Sam was a loving husband and a wonderful father. He was our rock and my best friend. He has been taken from me all too soon."

Lt Augustin, who went to Dartford Grammar School in Kent, began his training in 2009 and was passed fit for duty in December last year.

His colleagues described him as a passionate and selfless leader.

His parents, Jane and Sean, said: "Ollie was a much loved and cherished son. He was a beautiful boy who we were very proud of."

His sister Sarah added: "Ollie, you were a one in a million. You were brave, you were funny and I couldn't have wished for a better brother."

Baby Peter and no one to blame

Baby Peter sacking: Sharon Shoesmith wins appeal

An ex-Haringey social services director has won an appeal against a High Court ruling that her sacking after Baby Peter's death in 2007 was lawful.

Sharon Shoesmith was sacked three years ago

Court of Appeal judges allowed Sharon Shoesmith's challenge against a High Court ruling that cleared former children's secretary Ed Balls and the local authority of acting unlawfully.

Her appeal against watchdog Ofsted was dismissed.

Baby Peter Connelly was found dead in August 2007 with more than 50 injuries.

This is why politician have sewn the seeds of all our downfalls.
There is no doubt in the minds of public opinion that Sharon Shoesmith is not fit for the job she has/d at Haringey, but the Courts disagree.
Had MPs left some law alone these overpaid PUBLIC SERVANTS would have been ousted and four competent workers employed instead. Yes, you could get four reasonable social workers for the price of one self indulgent bureaucrat. This is the bad side of codified law, as in the USA where litigation override intelligence and common sense.
Perhaps then it would not be muted that Baby Peter wasa possible suicide victim. Let's get it straight. he died because of the inadequacies of the Haringey Social Services department of which Sharon Shoesmith was head. She wore the T-SHIRT AND TOOK THE MONEY. Need one say more?
