Occasional Scribbles

So the disgraceful proposal to hold people for 42 days without charge has been voted on and accepted.  The government resorted to what can only be described as corruption to bribe their way into getting this result.  I would like a list of all those who received bribes to be published so we may know our enemies and can name and shame them.

Not content with demolishing many of our freedoms that have taken hundreds of years to acheive such as trial by jury and unanimity of juries in trials, innocent until proven guilty – habeus corpus,  they have now paved the way for a useless police force to arrest without charge anyone that may be deemed a terrorist and held without charge for six weeks, 42 days.  Since we have already seen the over zealousness of the police in so many circumstances, it beggars belief that they should now have such power. 

Before long, there will be a long list of people held under this disgraceful act who have done nothing more wrong than having a penknife, a lighter or a bag of flour on their person.  And they will languish while the apparently slow wheels of justice decide if they should have been detained in the first place  Six weeks – 42 days.  The argument for this extra time is absolutely unproven.  There have not been any cases where this is necessary and in any case, there are laws already in place for exceptional circumstances that allow the authorities to hold people for longer if absolutely vital.  I strongly dislike the home secretary – Jaquie Smith.  She is so typical of the awful Blair babes, most of which are not really women in the whole sense of the word.  They are she-men.  Worse, they are only in positions of authority because they are women and the pathetic politically correct men want them there.  How insulting is that?  They are all ugly, wear badly fitting clothes and are so in awe of their newly found powers they can’t resist throwing their weight about as has this vile home secretary.  They are not good role models for young girls that is for sure.  Don’t call me Sister, Sister.

What worries me is that according to TV reports, (though one cannot rely on them, especially the marxist, leftist BBC) most of the country agreed with this proposal, or that is what they say.  As is usual, the ‘average man’ on the street was asked his opinion and as is also usual, he was not remotely average but was a dimwitted idiot that believes that if the government tell you to do something, they must be right.  I can see why it has been so easy for the government to hoodwink the ‘average man’ into putting up with more and more interference from Europe.  The truth is they don’t realise that things like, post office closures, bi-monthly rubbish collections, the cover on their passports and EU logo’s on their cars, (you can cover them over with a British flag by the way) are all dictated by the EU.  What is worse, is that if anyone has been paying attention, according to Peter Lilley, last seen in a long ago Conservative government, the MP’s themselves don’t realise that these directives have actually come from the EU.  In some sort of ludicrous farce, they take them on as if they were their own without knowing that they aren’t (the MP’s that is).  Is this the sort of people you want running the country.

Peter Lilley has tried to bring this matter to the attention of MP’s and the public, by amusingly suggesting that since so much of our powers to make decisions for ourselves,  have been passed on, no, given away, to the EU, then presumably MP’s don’t have a lot to do and should therefore have their vast salaries reduced to reflect this.  Priceless!!

Going back to the 42 days debacle, I would like to repeat a comment Peter Hitchens said on Question Time last week, rightly saying that the whole terror issue has been blown up to frighten people into agreeing to ever increaing curbs on their freedoms., he said, ‘you have as much chance of being hit on the head by a pidgeon dropping than being involved in a terror attack’.  The threat of terror that the government keeps ramming home to us, falsely, is designed to make us more pliant towards restricting us with ID cards which are on the way and other means of tagging and bagging us. We should resist this intrusion into our lives at all cost.  This country that has, for hundreds of years been free from tyranny and hypocrisy is being systematically dismantled by an ever dominant government that seeks to interfere and tell us all what to do in every aspect of our lives.   It is time we took an active interest in what is going on in our name.  Too many people are too complacent and apathetic and once these freedoms are lost, many of which have already been lost, though  incrimentally,  will never come back. I only hope only genuine terrorists are ever detained under this thoroughly un-British new proposal, but they won’t be.

Yes I know, the house of Lords still has to have its say on the matter but since Anthony Blair did his best to rid the Lords of anyone who was not likely to agree with him and to disgracefully knight anyone who would, we cannot rely on their sound common sense.

It is a sad day for the British people.  Wake up.
