Gordon Brown was the man who appointed disgraced speaker Michael Martin and who pulled every political trick in the book to keep him in place. Now, however, he is trying to portray himself as a reformer, someone who understands the angst of the British people and will do everything in his power to support them and their leader, who happens to be him, half-wit prime minister, Gordon Brown.
The claims that Britain has become a police state sounded a little sensationalist at first. Not now. The videos taken by G20 protesters have shown how things really are in the UK. The ban on filming the police, supposedly to prevent terrorism, has proven impossible to enforce. Thanks to these videos the police stand exposed. The myth that these state thugs are enforcers of the peace is gone forever.
The latest videos show riot police attacking a line of harmless looking protesters. Young women are smashed in the face with riot shields, retreating protesters holding their hands up are punched. Like the murder of Ian Tomlinson we only know about this because of amateur video footage that the government has criminalised.
The only remaining difference between Britain and other police states is that our police don’t actually solve any crimes.
Here’s how our glorious British Police react to the terrible threat of a load of harmless kids peacefully protesting against climate change:
Another blogger has been arrested, this time in South Korea. Prosecuters for the supposedly democratic government claimed his posts undermined the country’s credibility. He is accused of claiming that South Korean banks were barred from purchasing US currency. Since the story has now been picked up by Slashdot and Wired, it looks like a molehill has been turned into a mountain.
The US army has been using pigs to test the effectiveness of it’s body armour against roadside bombs. A pentagon spokesman claimed the pigs were ‘treated humanely at all times’. Right up until the moment they were blown up we suppose? If any soldiers out in the field have noticed hard metal lumps in their army-issue bacon rations, the mystery is now solved.
Here’s a video of Ian Tomlinson being attacked by police moments before dying of a heart attack. Police allegedly prevented him receiving medical treatment. Before this video surfaced police were saying he simply collapsed and died. Imagine what these pigs get up to when they’re not on camera.
Don’t you just love spin doctors? Apparently most of the fiscal stimulus we’ve been promised is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Read Dominic Lawson’s analysis here.
Ever keen to stimulate the world economy, the UK is now jailing fisherman who catch the wrong kind of fish. Two British fisherman, a father and son team, were handed a £385,000 fine by Judge Nigel Gilmour for breaking a quota regulation. Having been forced to remortgage their house to pay off the fine they were then sentenced to jail for contempt of court since the house was ruled a ‘proceed of crime’.
Perhaps if they’d stabbed someone or punched someone in the face they would have been treated more leniently. Teen murderer Jake Fahri was able to commit the following crimes before being jailed for the murder of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen:
Punching and robbing a boy - no action taken
Assaulting the same boy - a warning from the police
Selling drugs on the street - no action taken
Punching and kicking a girl and spitting in her face - the police got tough with a £50 fine
Street robbery - supervision orders/referrals (stern tellings off)
Street robbery with a knife while on bail - supervision orders/referrals
Burglary - supervision orders/referrals
“Happy Slapping” attacks - nothing
Remember, that’s just what the police actually know about. Fahri was jailed for ‘life’ which the judge stated would mean serving at least 14 years. Under the British system offenders are usually released on parole after half the official sentence is served, meaning Fahri could be out of jail at 26, no doubt ready to kill again.
Real criminals are just so hard to catch. Bloggers, on the other hand, are slow, pasty creatures who sit in front of their computers all day. That’s why bumbling Phoenix police officers arrested the guy who writes this. An easy arrest, a silent critic, and that funny looking computer equipment is great for warming doughnuts.
