SO I'LL BE KING THIS WEEK.

Another item from this week's press is by way of a letter, with regard to Joe public mucking in, to ease the burden of our police force. The correspondent is a Martin Bradley, Middlesex, who enquires if we could also be Judge Joe Public, Prison Governor Joe Public, Headmaster Joe Public or, possibly, Prime Minister Joe Public. All these things, as we have pointed out in earlier postings, would be performed more in accordance with the will of the people.

We will have one flaw to be addressed should we adopt a system of including Joe/Jane Public in the pursuit of law enforcement, the Human Rights Act, otherwise the prisons will be overflowing with law abiding citizens, charged with assault in their endeavours to uphold the law.



SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO ACT.

NOT AN INDIAN TAKEAWAY.

It is so refreshing to read an article in the press, when the writer isn't bleating about a right that they feel should be their's automatically. The subject here is India, and Prime Minister Cameron's visit. Unfortunately, he soon got into apologetic mode on behalf of we Brits. The article to which I refer, written in this weeks press, is by a British born Indian, Nirpal Dhaliwal; giving a succinct history of the sub continent over the centuries, leading up to the British Raj. Mr. Dhaliwal makes it quite clear, that we did not subjugate the good folk of India, that had been performed by the Moguls (Muslim), who had overrun the country in the mid 16th. century, and who were very much into slavery. Although we appeared on the scene in competition with the French in particular, regarding world domination. This, as my informant points out, did the Indians a great favour. By the 1840's we had abolished the slave trade. We did exploit the continent, as so called conquerors always do. It is, however, because of Great Britain, that the second most populated nation on earth became the world's largest democracy. In addition, we introduced humane practices; stopping the burning of widows, the committing of female infanticide, and the burial of lepers alive.

All in all, our legacy was generally one of good. I recall the Canadian born, American economist, John Kenneth Galbraith admitting, that wherever Britain withdrew from Empire, they always left it in good order.

Regarding the Jewel in the Crown, the Koh-i-noor, I'm sure that it was a personal gift to Queen Victoria, which therefore makes it the property of the crown, not the nation.

WELL SAID, NIRPAL DHALIWAL.

IS THIS REALLY MY COUNTRY OF BIRTH?

I look regularly in the 'Deaths' column of our local newspaper, to check upon the continuation of my presence in this world; how else can we establish that we have not passed away?

What has become clear in recent times, is the fact that we don't appear to know that what we vote for is what we get from our rulers. We can suspect that this is due to the insatiable belief by the Government in all things European. This, no doubt, has encouraged weakly governed nations, such as Britain, to realign it's judiciary; hence the creation of a Supreme Court. There is probably a whiff of a nudge here from Cherie Blair on that politically deviant husband, Tony.

Two recent reports on British law in action raises disturbing decisions. First we read about Judge Bathurst-Norman, agreeing with five accused activists, who had reportedly broken into a factory, which was running a legitimate business, making parts for aircraft destined for Israel. The judge, therefore, making laws 'on the hoof', which, it would appear, superseded the law of the land, or dare I say, that of the EU. It is understood that this judgement, passed at Hove Crown Court last June, is to be reviewed forthwith. The second example is more sinister, as it reeks of political correctness, something that has to be expunged from our way of life, as I'm sure we wish to return to a more relaxed, mature system. Evidently, a JP gave a homily to an accused immigrant; the closing remarks pointing out, something with which most Brits would concur, "You have abused our hospitality". For this expression of logic, the JP is obliged to retrain.

It is this retarded nonsense that could well push the tolerance of the hard working taxpayerGB, to the edge.

IT IS OUR COUNTRY, REMEMBER!

LIGHTS OUT!

A subject we have looked at on previous occasions, LITTLE, OR NO WIND IN THE WILLOWS, Jan. '10 was the last entry.

The new Government must soon outline it's intentions regarding our power supplies, which will be in serious decline by 2015. This will prove to be an 'Achilles heel' around the time of the next election. Forget mobile phones/shop checkouts/petrol pumps/keeping warm, and where are you going to plug in your new hybrid (cross dressing) car? This will, naturally, according to much of the electorate, be the fault of the Government of the time. The fact is, that the previous regime wouldn't make a decision on nuclear power, wishing to leave it to be decided by the current administration.

This subject is now being spoken and written about by experts on the subject; the kind of professionals so despised by the former minister for windmills, Thoroughly Modern Miliband jnr.

As people die from hypothermia, the mind boggles at the claims based around human rights.



DON'T BE WINDY!

THE BALLAD OF RAOUL MOAT.

The disgraceful response to the eventual demise of Raoul Moat following a trail of carnage caused by this renegade; this appalling popularity, created by his elusiveness, is nothing short of disgraceful. The writer does, however, have little confidence in senior women police officers; their approach is always going to err on the side of caution.

The Moat situation was hot on the heels of the trail of homicides in Cumbria; a different sort of situation, with even more devastating results. This week we read that a trio of men were attacked as they trained for a 125 miles charity walk. This occurrence was at Stalybridge. They were blatantly assaulted by a group of youths, ten in number. The extraordinary aspect of this is, that an older male, around forty years of age, joined in the attack on the fund raisers. In the absence of knives, keys were used as their weaponry.

It has been suggested before that politics and law and order are far too serious to be left in the hands of politicians and the judiciary.



IT'S TIME TO RETURN TO SOME MASCULINE POLICING.

ELECTIVE DICTATORSHIP.

Our MP, Kenneth Clarke, has raised the subject of allowing an elected government to run away with the understanding that it can do whatever it likes, when it has the backing of a large majority. The previous series of Labour administrations certainly pursued this practice; particularly when confronted with decisions on Europe.

As Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke should look back to his agreement with the Blair/Brown regimes, on avoiding electoral involvement in such sheepish acts. The greatest threat to our sovereignty emanates from this lack of democracy shown in all aspects of British politics. Europe is the major question of our time, and we disregard it at our peril.

Although the current coalition Government appears to be proceeding fairly smoothly, can our Prime Minister avoid repeating 'I will do this - I will do that'? This sounds like dictatorial speak, even though he may not mean it as such.

We are at a crossroads regarding our future. Nick Clegg has come up with the idea of the nation being given the opportunity of posting suggestions on line; unfortunately, this allows much abuse, as, to many, the computer is just a toy, something that we might expect from a largely ignorant nation.


IT'S TIME TO THINK AND ACT WISELY.

THE UGLY GAME.

As the massed ranks of the media battalions decamp to depart from their respective eyries, and the vast areas become once more 'Punditless in Pretoria'. To the truly sport minded, this was a few weeks of unmitigated mean. It was interesting that by the time we reached the semi-finals, to avoid bookings, the full set of studs disappeared from the usual suspects, when looking to scythe down the opposition.

The final followed in the footsteps of the last occasion in Germany four years ago. Spain managed to grind out another one goal win, hardly the style we were told to expect. In actual fact, their flair had diminished considerably from the European nation's success of two years ago. To enhance what is lacking in the game, they succeeded without a distinctive or penetrative forward line. This, therefore, speaks volumes about the state of the game.

I must admit that I took to the panel on ITV, finding, surprisingly, that Adrian Chiles has the rare ability not to patronise the game and the personnel. One of his final comments, following the final, was along the lines that, many folk who never watch football would have tuned in for the World Cup final; something that both he and his colleagues were endeavouring to sell to the viewing public; concluding that it was a diabolical advert.

However, probably the best of a poor crop emerged as the winners. What a pity that the cavalier style of the Dutch from the seventies can't manifest itself once more. Hey-Ho.

It would be churlish not to acknowledge the best player of the tournament, Diego Forlan, good feet, awareness and the ultimate asset, the talent to find space.

As it is only bad habits that the average Brit learns -------

VUVUZELAS WILL SHORTLY BE HEARD AT A FOOTBALL GROUND NEAR YOU.

SHOULD BLACK FOOTBALLERS HAVE A LIGHTER SHADE OF TATTOO?

As the current World cup series reaches it's final chapter, and we hope against hope that we are to see a vibrant, inventive team, don't hold your breath. Football is no longer an attractive sporting event, but a media induced masquerade. No one country has a genuine 'play maker'.

What we do have in abundance are endless pundits trying to sell us a dream that does not exist. The crew making up this army far outnumbering the actual playing personnel. The biggest disappointment here is that the non- Brits speak far better English than our representatives.

As for the actual but short walk-on part which was the England team, made up of players, any of which concerned parents would hope that their daughters wouldn't bring home; such retarded, overpaid incompetents. We can blame the manager until the cows come home, however, we have to start by clearing out this motley shower and start afresh. I fear, nevertheless, that as the qualifying matches will soon be starting for the 2012 European Nations Championship,we will therefore stick with the same dim, inept outfit.


ENGLAND HASN'T GOT TALENT.
