Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Hi,
Summer is here still the bright yellow thing in the sky is not a Meteorite heading to the Earth but apparently something called the Sun (I thought that was a Newspaper). But let’s make the most of it.
I read with interest today how the double standards in justice still occur. I see that the authorities are not prosecuting those in charge of the C Diff poisoning in Kent, dozen’s died and no one is responsible…well that’s alright then…..is it?
Keran is stitched up (her case is still boasted about ion the QC’s website) by lots of experts and the CPS/Police with no evidence just opinions (paid). But no one, no group, no one at all is responsible for Manslaughter, through Negligence or whatever.
So it means when there is evidence of poor policies, planning etc etc you can get away with ‘murder’ some would say?
But the nearer you get to the top the more bomb proof you become, little old Keran (she’ll love that description) didn’t have a chance. If she was the head of a Government body or the like she would have been fine. Its worse when you get to money being wasted though, think of the Dome, no one took the blame, and all that cash (enough to buy one or two experts for the CPS) went into a Giant Tent in Greenwich. I was thinking of offering them £2 for the tent to use on Scout camps, but O2 outbid me at £2.50 as they had ready cash!
Talking of big numbers the Carers4carers site has been visited over 50,000 times! AMAZING!! Thanks as always to Alasdair for fitting it in between work etc and Sue.
It doesn’t seem that long ago when we made the first 100 hits, then 1,000 and then up the levels went. Alright I have visited it 49,000 times but put that aside it’s still good!
We have been finding out that Keran is allowed various things for her birthday and we have had a few bits to be sent in already. So thank you for those that have sent things in, she told me tonight she can also have a bit of extra cash, so I will be sending that in, so she can go on a wild shopping spree (or put it on the phone credit).
There are cases coming in from North America again showing how the tide continues to turn, we maybe ahead of the game still with various cases either being ‘lost’ by the CPS or kicked out by the Judges. We are getting nearer to sorting this out if we can get the Judges on board and some MP’s we can change things so that in cases like this you will be Innocent until proven guilty again. They must be getting fed up clearing up after the experts and the damage it does to British Justices image is not needed.
The Government seem to be trying to fire fight their own problems, as I have not heard from certain departments and ministers for a while - lying low? Or Low and lying?? Who knows, who cares….
Good news though the boys will get to see their Mum a couple of times this week, we saw her on Monday a ‘Family day’ - I think we would have preferred the likes of Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Legolasland (its the new Lord of the Rings version). We are in again tomorrow on a normal visiting order (VO in tech speak) so will be good as long as we get in without too many hitches, just not enough staff there, can’t say I envy them.
But the Prison Service is like the Police, Military and all the rest understaffed and under valued. The Police look set to have to fight again for this years pay rise, maybe they can ask for 35% like British Gas….isn’t that poor planning to have to jump it up that much, surely more people will leave British Gas and go to anyone cheaper? But the good news is Petrol is down…well a couple of pence so we must all be grateful. After all the companies like BP haven’t made much profit and don’t make it on the forecourt anyway. Some Banks haven’t made much either still only in the Hundreds of Millions….its bloody awful, how will they all survive?
Luckily Carers4carers haven’t got into looking after poor Multi Million Bullion companies, maybe we can expand? But first we have to fight a much more noble cause, cash corrupts, we all need it, but remember the simple pleasures? Comics are making news in a lot of programmes of late, takes me back (I remember seeing them - in museums of course), titles like Warlord, Battle, Victor, Commando, (can’t think why I went in the forces) and the more fun ones like Whoopee, Look In and the like. The days when you would go out on your bike all day or camp on farmers fields (asking them of course), nowadays of course you have to do a risk assessment to open the comic (in case of paper cuts), make sure you lift the comic correctly and make sure it doesn’t offend anyone.
Which takes me back to the days when the Singapore Police came over to look at how we Policed Speakers Corner, as they were going to set one up back in Singapore. They decided to set a Speakers Corner up (against my advice, gone are the days you get Winston Churchill, Soper and the like spoke there) but cunningly they decided not to allow anyone to talk about Politics, Religion etc etc. Not sure what comedians are allowed to say there in the comedy clubs…not a lot. Can you imagine what they would make of the names in comics from years gone by, that’s before you even talk about the likes of Viz!
The days of experts taking the Viz (or something like) are drawing to a close…
Iain aka Desperate Dan the Whizz, Plug, Bash street Lord Snooty (Old School)
Modern names would be more like Slasher, RAZR (no O), Gangsta (no e no r), the Bash ‘em up street kidz….maybe I have just come up with a whole new comic…now where’s the number for Dragon’s Den…Mind you isn’t Chasing Dragons illegal?
Stay safe
Iain
