GARY MCKINNON

It's almost a year since I posted about this wretch who continues to evade his due punishment. It becomes clear that lots of people are sorry for this hacker. I am so sick of people who create problems for people who just want to use their computer safely that I would happily see all hackers/spammers horsewhipped or executed. And as that is not realistic then at least extradited to USA where they will not be be dealt with by nice men in red dressing gowns and black sash (otherwise the judiciary of England) but by people who are a little more serious about protecting people against criminals.

And today's press reports on a case where two police officers spent time documenting an incident where a doctor left his 7-year old in a car for 20 minutes whilst he (the doctor) went into the bank. The son was happily playing with his games console. He knew how to open the car door. He was not locked in. He was quite happy. The policemen are happy too as they have gained a few points towards the government targets and whilst they were dealing with this this "crime" they could not be called upon to deal with rapists/murderers/terrorists and the like.

BBC MOSTLY

So today that wretched organization we know as the BBC is being a little snide about Royal Expenses. The BBC has just sent 400 (yes, that's FOUR HUNDRED) employees to the Glastonbury Music Festival — a small event for weirdos who like to shag a lot in rain and mud. That's not much short of what they sent to the Peking (sorry, Beijing — have to be totally PC where BBC is concerned). Of course they're all Guardian readers. The fact of the matter is that if the head of state was chosen from the ranks of the BBC or Parliament the costs would be far more. Just imagine Tony and Cherie as Lord Protector/Lady Protectress. There is no limit to the greed of many of our MPs.
And I see Madoff got 150 years. What a fool!! If he'd come here he could have killed and raped and dozens and our lily-livered judges in red dressing gowns would never dream of such a sentence. Huntly Open Prison and out in 3 (years not centuries).

EMIGRATION

So the latest figures show that record numbers of Britons are leaving the country. Not too hard to see why as the country under Labour and Blair has turned into a shambles. Labour being aided by the police, the men in red dressing gowns, others in the legal profession, and miscellaneous human rights activists. In the last fortnight we have seen two ordinary decent people murdered by teenage yobs. One got out of his sister's car to remonstrate when youths threw chocolate into the car. He didn't get out to start a fight — just to ask why the lad had done it. He was killed. And in Warrington a family man was killed when he went out to speak to a gang who were vandalising a mechanical digger. In the second case it seems that gangs of youths were a frequent problem as they are in many areas. The police do a good job of catching murderers (I'm often surprised at their success rate) but if they were more pro-active in dealing with "yobbery" there wouldn't be as many murders.
The other case that has been in the headlines is that of the Italian murderer of Stephen Lawrence who may be released next year but is unlikely to be deported. This is a result of an EU directive and, more marginally, the Human Rights Act. On release he will be able to join Afghan hijackers who are also at liberty to remain in this country. Apparently if they were deported they might not be treated very nicely. There is a massive legal industry devoted to helping the dregs of humanity. The two judges on the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal that decided Chindamo's case earn around £100,000 a year (there was also a lay member). But there is an army of solicitors and barristers working in these areas, all paid for out of legal aid — ie by the taxpayer.
