What’s all this Russian stuff that gets onto our comments, and is mostly about sex and websites?

I have to spend valuable time going around deleting it.

I thought they had joined The West.  Clearly, not; they have not learned HOW TO BEHAVE. You do NOT gatecrash; that is what socialist students, and pre-capitalist-barbarians, do.

Bugger them for a start, then, the unperceptive, fascist toads. They MUST READ MORE BLOGS before BLAMMING us here. The buggers, lazy sods. Get bloody out of bed, stop f*****g those (very pretty and f***able) Ukrainian girls, and do your sodding homework about liberty and the West and where you fit in, and think about whose side you actually are on……

……Before annoying people by messing about with their property. Or else, go back to the outer darkness in Northern Asia, in animal-skin-tents.

There’s an Ice Age coming upon us, and soon, about 8,000 years, but it may be as little as 800. Al Gore is a f*****g liar, a scimbag and a prostituter of data. Shun him and his works, and look to the future integrity of any power sources in the region in which you live (that is to say, Russia) and concentrate your efforts on saving your families by this strategy, rather than rubbishing ours.

Prepare thick tents, if you are not going to listen to us.

This blog is the friend of people who want people like you to be free to do what you do - so do it to Hugo the Chav and the Dear Leader and not to us, because it upsets our property (this blog)  and they don’t have property coz’ it belongs to “The People!”

Useful stuff … from the Taxpayers’ Alliance

TaxPayers’ Alliance Bulletin - 11th April 2008

 

Cost of Crime in London hits £3 billion

 


Yesterday, the TPA released our contribution to the London Mayoral Debate, an in-depth study of the cost of crime in London. As well as providing breakdowns for different types of crime on a borough-by-borough basis across the capital, we calculated that crime now costs Londoners over £3 billion, more than £400 a head on average. Calculating the social and economic cost of different types of crime allows us to give a fair weighting to different offences that better reflects the impact of more serious crimes such as assault than the easily manipulated raw figures the Government prefers to use. The report makes a compelling case for strengthening local democratic control of policing, radically cutting police bureaucracy and learning the lessons of international policing successes such as New York. You can read the report here.

 

For those of you outside London, never fear, we haven’t forgotten you! A national study into the cost of crime for every part of the country will be coming out over the summer - this is the first step towards giving people the power to see in detail how crime affects their neighbourhood and being able to hold the police and the criminal justice system to account.

 

Crime and policing is set to be the big issue of the Mayoral election, so we were pleased that the report was picked up by:

 

The Evening Standard: - Crime and the mayoral contest (Leader Column) - Crime costs Londoners £3bn a year (News Article)

 

 

 

Holding snooping Poole Council to account

We need your help to hold Poole Council to account.  We wrote here describing how Poole Council used an anti-terror law to spy on a family they suspected of living outside a school catchment area.  This, I’m sure you’ll agree, is a gross misuse of power.  Is this where our Council Tax increase has gone, to fund people to spy on us? 

You can find all the contact details of Poole’s councillors on the blog.  Please do hold them to account and ask them whose idea it was to spy, if they have been invading other people’s privacy other than the family in question and whether they intend on putting more taxpayers under surveillance.  It might be worth asking your own council if they’re using the same law to monitor taxpayers in your borough.

NB: THIS BLOG has already flagged up this last matter, see the Last Post!

 

 

Protests and Leaflet Days

 

In addition to this, we’ve recently had a Council Tax protest, a stall at a Farmers’ Market and have stuffed thousands of envelopes to get our message out.  And we want to do more.  If you or someone you know is thinking of becoming a Council Tax rebel, let us know by contacting us [tim.aker@taxpayersalliance.com] so we can give you advice and information.  Plus we can put you in touch with other experienced rebels who can provide further support.

 

Do you want a leaflet day in your area?  If so, let us know by contacting our Grassroots Coordinator Tim Aker so we can rally our supporters and get a good crowd out for the TPA.  Alternatively if you want any leaflets to hand out down your street let us know so we can post them to you. Finally, if you know anything about your council misusing its power or wasting your money, let us know so we can mobilise and campaign on it.  It’s time to even the balance between the taxpayer and the taxman!

 

Investigation into the Speaker’s expenses

 

Thank you to all those people that got in touch to express their support after last week’s news that we have succeeded in getting an investigation into the Speaker of the House of Commons and his family’s expenses claim. There have been further rumblings about his behaviour in recent days, so it will be interesting to see how the saga unfolds. We will of course continue to keep you updated.

Councils in the UK spy on 1,000+ people a day. AND, that’s EACH Council (SOVIET.) How did we let this happen?

12 April, 2008 · 2 Comments

David Davis

The Daily Torygraph does its stuff with the headline subject here. I’m sure that all converted libertarians to whom we preach on this blog will have seen it and foamed at the mouth already.

The DT was kind enough to post an idle musing of mine, early this morning, on the process of logic which causes a real person, a British one probably, to actively seek to take up a job working for a council … doing what?  Spying on others, that’s what; to their potential harm or distress, and to the gain of the spy or council. Here’s what a Tory council did about a family trying to get their 3-year-old daughter a better school:

Click on it to get the entire thing. It’s disgusting. It’s not “like” East Germany, or “like” North Korea - it IS those places. Now, here. “Target vehicle” - the f***ING bastards are talking about their OWN PEOPLE here.

“Dog poo” is quoted. I have already inveighed against dog poo here, and the other sort of socialist-trained-person wot causes a pooch to poop outside one’s property and then go away. That’s not the point today; it’s about why a sentient human being, presumably brought up in a still-partly-functioning civil society like the UK, would really really want to apply for such jobs?

Or is it too late, and have we gone too far down the road towards a Third-Reich-style-polity? Daniel Goldhagen’s book, “Hitler’s Willing Executioners“, is illuminating. I found myself teaching with it not long ago, re Kristallnacht.

My point today is that civil society has been so unravelled and degraded by the anti-English, anti-liberal, fascist clique whom we let into power while half-asleep, that we tactly concur in state-corporate attempts to stamp out certain kinds of behaviour that we think we ought to be seen to publicly deplore….even if they are substantively harmless, and the natural result of the very Laws that brought them into being. Such as

fly-tipping” ….. the result of state refusal to continue dealing with certain kinds of “waste” (or indeed any for that matter) without huge charges and increased bureaucracy;

trying to get your child into a better school” ….. the result of State “education” policies - simple as that!

trying to do up your house” ….. 30 years ago the Bulgarians all decided to let their houses go to rack and ruin, because of new laws to allow intrusion by soviets to see if your place was a bit “nicer” than the other hovels, and ought to be taxed more.

Miserable toads, and bastards. F*** them: there, I’ve done it. I never thought I would swear on this blog, but I have. Like Lucy Pinder  finally got round, a while ago, to removing her bra.

How can we be sharing the same nation, breathing possibly the same air, as these PEOPLE? These goons, sneaks, these grasses, these bullies who are even too cowardly to come out and bully properly?
