Judge John Walford’s fury at benefits ‘sponging’ alcoholic Stanley Clifton


And well he might be furious. He must be sick to death of these layabout scroungers appearing before him.

I know I am furious and  sick to death of reading about how I am funding these layabouts with my taxes.

Why can’t Judge Walford stop this pariahs benefits ? After all Clifton isn’t even doing the community service that is part of his sentence. It should be within the judicial powers to halt benefit payments pending a thorough investigation of the validity of Cliftons claims.

Teenage terrors banned from every Portsmouth shopping areas


I hope this works. Many people like me are sick and tired of reading about or even observing the sort of behaviour these girls have employed.

What I would like to know is what have their parents been doing about their behaviour in their pre-teen years. How did they get to the point where they thought this was OK behaviour.

All I know is that if I had behaved like they have when I was their age my parents and particularly my father would have come down on me like a ton of bricks. I was no angel but I certainly knew right from wrong and would have been terrified if the results of my actions brought anyone to my parents door let alone the police.

So I say again, I hope this works. I also hope that the authorities have the courage to carry through and arrest them should they break the ban.

All The Best Jackie

The word is that he is being kept in hospital for checks.

Best wishes Jackie. Get well soon.

Woman shouted ‘bang’ at Moat victim


A Northumbria Police spokesman said a woman, who has not been named, was arrested for a public order offence after apparently standing behind shot Pc David Rathband and saying “bang, bang”. It is also reported that she pretended to shoot a gun.

To make “bang, bang” sounds and hold your hand in the shape of a gun behind the back of  any gunshot victim is a shameful act and indicative of a sick mind.

This thoughtless idiot deserves a hefty fine and  I think she should be forced to provide some community time tending our injured soldiers or even tending for the victims of the mindless violence that is meted out in our city centers due to excess alcohol. Leastways, some form of punishment that would make her see what our soldiers and police have to contend with.

Her actions are a reflection of the lack of respect that is permeating our society and perhaps her punishment should reflect that.

Get Ready To Dig Deeper Into Your Pockets


Yet another directive from those wonderful folk in the EU.

Once again singing the equality song.

The only equal element in this is that we will all equally have to pay more.

Once upon a time market forces drove costs and in the insurance markets it was risk that determined cost. So what if the insurance companies gave discounts to certain groups of people the underlying driver was the amount of risk. But not any more.

Thanks to Frau Kokott, an advocate-general at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg, the risk element has just been removed in the rush to ensure equality. No longer can gender be taken into account by insurance companies when determining the premiums that we will be asked to pay.

For example “Experts estimate that, from the age of 17 until they’re 25, British women drivers will pay an extra £4,300. On the other hand, male pensioners who get a higher annuity than women, because they do not live as long, will be left significantly out-of-pocket because their rates will be slashed to bring them into line.”

How To Solve Britains Financial Woes At A Single Stroke ?


Withdraw from the EU !!!

The overall costs to the UK economy have been estimated at £60 billion/year, or £1000/person. Probably more since this estimate was made. OK so this wouldn’t really solve our problems at a stroke but it would make significant inroads and help to reduce our deficit.

They can have my vote for withdrawal right now.

Another Reason To Abandon The EU


So this is what the faceless bureaucrats have been up to. The European Commission has just ruled that anything calling itself a Cornish pasty will have to come from Cornwall. Telling us not only where a Cornish Pasty can be made but also what can be in it and on which side the crust should be.  Total waste of time and money.

Is this what we pay them to do ? i.e. sit in Brussels, or wherever it is they hide, generating pointless rules and regulations.

This is a joke.

These are presumably the same time wasters that are telling us that cucumber can’t be curved, that our chocolate can’t be called chocolate and that our sausages can’t be called sausages.

Surely, the consumer is king in this situation. If we like it we’ll eat it. If we don’t like it……!!!

Personally I love pasties when they are made properly and for the record, My Mum made the best ever pasty and she was Sussex born and bred.  So I couldn’t give a stuff where they are made so long as they taste good.
