Jack Straw takes some flak

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

After Jack Straw’s most recent stinging attack and game of ‘kick the police’ I thought I must speak up.

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Bradley Wernham 18 and a prolific thief, was given a unique chance to turn his back on crime when Judge Christopher Ball QC gave him and his girlfriend a rent free flat courtesy of the taxpayer. He was also ordered to stay away from the area where he had caused so much distress, given 150 hours of community service and given a curfew. This was in response to some 660 burglaries, 20 he admitted to and 640 he asked to be taken into consideration. (I bet the police were more than happy to clear up all those cases in one go!

When office workers are banned from moving a chair without expert supervision. …read more
