What the heck is happening in this country.
Once again we see a frail eighty year old woman dying because somebody was to bloody lazy to listen and take notice.
This old lady was for three hours trapped in a manhole opened by mindless idiots that have no right to be running loose on our streets.
This was no accident, it was caused by some brainless thugs who had been terrorising this old lady until she was frightened to return home until after dark. They removed the manhole cover with the sole purpose in mind that she would not see it open in the dark, and so fall into it.
The local police superintendent said that they had not been made aware of this particular problem.
A colleague of the old lady said that she had reported it but the police were not interested.
Neighbours had also complained to the police about the gang.
So just how is a problem to be reported for the police to take notice. Don’t they relise that ignoring the problem now is only building a bigger problem for the future.
These yobs will think that they can get away with anything and so what next, mugging, burglary, knifing someone.
Catching them now and giving them a stiff sentence will stop some of them going on to bigger things.
What this country needs are boot camps, run by a strict military styled regime, a spell in these places just might teach them a little respect for others.
I’m sure if it had been their eighty year old grandmother, they would not have thought it was funny.
And before anybody says it I do relise what the police have to cope with and that when they do catch these yobs they need the backup of sensible magistrates. I am also completely anti PC, in fact I think that these idiots have a lot to answer for for what they have done to society today.

Our so-called NHS and caring society
How disgusting can you get? One heck of a lot it seems, Bristol NHS should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
War hero former Sergeant Bernard Warren 86 years old is dying of three cancers and dementia yet this pompous authority have the nerve to say he is not ill enough.
How the devil did they come to that conclusion, just how ill do you have to be.
His wife has nursed him at home for the past six years, how much money has that already saved this so-called NHS authority.
Officials told his wife that his condition did not tick enough boxes, what idiots run this place.
This man fought for this country and helped give them the life they have now and like any other person should be given the care that he now needs.
This is just another case of what is wrong with this country today.
These authorities are run by people who just sit in their plush offices drawing a ridiculous salary and whose only interest is balancing the books.
Like many others his wife has now got to try and find the money for his care herself.
If this is not disgusting I don’t know what is. It goes hand in hand with our MOD who do there damndest to try to find ways of cutting benefit for our boys injured in Afghanistan and the like
What the rest of the world makes of this country I hate to think.

Bravery of a six year old
How wonderful in these days of I’m all right jack, we see something really wonderful and courageous. Young six year old Billy Bates was on holiday and playing in a pool with arm bands on when he saw another young 4 year old lad out of his depth and in trouble. He was going under and waving his hands about as he sank.
What did young Billy do? He knew another young child was in trouble and although he could not swim himself he doggy paddled to the young lad and grabbed hold of his waist and kept the lad’s head above water until help arrived.
Young Billy’s comment, I was a bit scared, I wanted to help him.
Help him, the child’s dad said he saved his life.
Young Billy deserves a commendation. When he is older he will have something to remember with pride.
If this isn’t a lesson for us all I don’t know what is.
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if only there were more young Billies about.

Why do councils have to destroy things?
Today I walked around the place where I was brought up.
I was brought up in the Old Town of Hastings here in the UK. Now this is not to be confused with Hastings itself.
The Old Town is the fishing quarter of the original Hastings, with its fishing fleet that has fished off this coast for centuries.
Its historic houses and little passageways with their quaint old cottages give it its charm.
I spent a wonderful childhood here among what was a real community. It is the part of Hastings that people come to see. Frankly without the Old Town Hastings itself would not be a holiday attraction.
Admittedly it has the Castle which William the Conqueror built when he invaded England in 1066 but apart from that its just an everyday seaside town.
The problem being that we have councillors who believe we should all be dragged into the 21st century.
That in itself is ok, but here they try to destroy any connection with the past and build real monstrosities.
This is what is happening to the beautiful old town that I knew.
I think over the years instead of being proud of the old area they have constantly been jealous of it and tried systematically to destroy it.
First they drove a main road right through the centre of it cutting it into two.
Then they go about ripping out the old passageways and in their place build what they call modern town houses.
Slowly over the years what was a thriving bustling community has vanished.
Walking through those streets with every shop you needed there is now what?
The main High Street nothing but junk shops. George Street, instead of all the variety of shops once there now is a street full of pubs and cafes with tables and chairs lining the street.
The latest madness of this wonderful council is on our old Stade to rip down buildings that have stood there since I can’t remember when and replace them with a monstrosity of a building called a Jerwood Gallery, this Art box is set in the middle of an ancient fishing area regardless of the uproar and protest.
There are many other unused place for this HUT further to the other end of modern Hastings and St Leonards where it would fit in better.
But no, our councillors know better, this is where they want it. They left out the line of ‘this will destroy another part of this Old Town.’
My only wish is that the people of this town would get together, find out which councillors voted for this HUT, and vote them out of office. If this were done just maybe future councillors would realise they were put into office to organise and do the best for their town instead of systematically destroying it.
I just wish these people would come to realise that it’s the Old Hastings visitors come to see.
Destroy it and when it’s gone it’s gone. There is no going back.
You would not see places like Rye, just along the coast, destroying its heritage like this. They know what people come to see. They have more sense.

Union Leaders Flexing Their Muscles Again
Once again we have the union leaders banding together to try and bring a new government to its knees. Don’t they realise the mess this country is in.
What is it with the union members, most of them seem like lemmings following their union leader to the edge of the cliff. The trouble is when they reach it they, the union members, are the ones that go over, the union bosses do not go with them.
They still sit in their ivory towers spouting their bile against the employers.
Don’t they realise that things are tough, they are tough the world over and they ought to be working with the employers to work out ways to safeguard the jobs. All they seem to be interested in is bringing a firm to its knees.
It does not matter how much a company bends over backwards to meet their demands, they just come up with something else.
Do these union members honestly believe they have the support of joe public when they rejoice in their union leaders bringing airlines or rail services for example out on strike at holiday times.
They do their damndest to mess up your holiday and then cannot understand it if you do not support them.
Take the post office. OK the postman does a great job. I know what it is like starting while others are still tucked up in bed, out there in all weathers. I used to be a milkman.
Can’t these people see that if their union leaders have their way they soon will not have a job.
It’s a fact of life that Airlines, Post Office, Railways, Haulage Companies are there to make a profit and in today’s world there has got to be changes whether they like it or not.
I think these union members ought to take a minute and reflect on the miners’ strike.
The only person that came out on top there was Arthur Scargill . When all the mines closed down do they think he was in the dole queue with them. Like hell he was. All he left behind were devastated communities.
These leaders of their beloved unions make sure that if all goes wrong they are safeguarded, they are not going down with the members. They are there to create havoc no matter what.
If I was a union member the next time the union calls a strike I would ask myself how close I was to being without a job.
Get it into your heads you union bosses, Labour has gone. There is new light and hope in this country, just help repair the damage.
You just might be respected a little more by the public

Hospital Errors, Enough is Enough!
What is up with hospitals today, we know these people are stretched, but that’s no reason to get slapdash.
Another poor woman goes to hospital with severe stomach pains and passing blood. Records show over time she was seen by ten doctors. She was treated like a nuisance, told she was anorexia or had depression and given paracetimol.
She was finally given a CT Scan for all the good that did, and was told she was riddled with tumours and now with no chance of survival.
A spokeswoman from Heartland Hospital said we are very sorry for her concerns. OK that makes it alright then I suppose.
If it had been a relative of theirs treated like this I’ve no doubt they would have created merry hell.
It’s not the first time this has happened and no doubt will not be the last.
Defiantly not it seems for another poor chap in Nottingham had a brain tumour the size of a lemon, this he suffered for four years, a doctor failed to examine his scan results which were only discovered when he went to a different hospital, thank goodness somebody was on the ball.
We know all hospitals are not the same, I had surgery at my local hospital in Hastings and could not have been treated better, From the nurses to the Surgeon I was treated as if I were their only patient. Well done the Conquest Hospital.

The Formular 1 Mess
I’m a great fan of Formula 1. But can anyone tell me why they have to go and spoil it.
You get one team that gets penalised for some offence or other and another team with Pots of money get a piddling little fine and walk away with a grin on their faces.
The case in question being Ferraris last race at Germany, they blatantly tell one driver Felipe Massa to pull over and let Fernando Alonso overtake so that he would gain the extra points. This team seems to get away with everything.
I always thought that winning was about racing one against the other and the best drive wins.
But not now it seems. How anybody can take credit or have the nerve to stand on a podium for being allowed to win I’ll never know.
Shouldn’t somebody explain to them that to rejoice in winning you have to pit yourself against the others, otherwise why not just toss a coin and decide who wins,
Don’t get me wrong, I think Fernando Alonso is a great driver so why would he want to win by another driver letting him. Surly even he can see theirs no pride in it.
To be a real champion you have to achieved this on your own performance not on the back of others.
Are they frightened that Ferrari would pull out if they do not get their own way.
Maybe this would be a good thing, I would be sorry to see them go but I’m sure F1 would survive without them

It’s not April fool’s day is it?
There are a lot of things in this life that you just cannot believe but then that’s "It’s a crazy world".
But there are other things that you really cannot believe, like a UK commons committee inviting disgraced Sharon Shoesmith to give advice on child safety. What a joke!
This woman who was sacked by North London’s Haringey Council after failing to take baby P. in to care .
And that was despite evidence of serious abuse. This pathetic seventeen month old child suffered such terrible injuries at the hands of his despicable mother and her lover and the lodger. Between them this poor child was beaten and tortured to death.
Now they have invited this woman and four other experts to give evidence to the committee on child safety.
I would like to know who the rest of the committee is made up of. It does not bear thinking about.
PLEASE David Cameron you said you were going to get rid of all this stupidity. Before it’s too late, insist they change their minds.
Surely there must be more qualified people selected from the NSPPC and the like, for instance.
What are your views on this?

Policeman gets what he deserves
At last we see the police not covering up for one of their own.
A policeman loses his rag and drags a woman to the cells and then hurls her head first to a concrete floor.
Thank goodness for the courage of police woman Rachel Webb, she is the true hero here.
Seeing one of her colleagues Policeman Mark Andrews do this she did the right thing and reported him. Andrew was jailed for six months, I think he should thank his lucky stars he got off so light.
Lets hope that the other police at that station recognise that Rachel Webb did the right thing and do not start a silly campaign against her.
This helps give a little confidence back in our bobbies, after all they also are supposed to work for us the ratepayer.

Who’s having an affair now
Rooney plays away, Tiger Woods has string of affairs, George Michael is gay, SO WHAT! Do we really care.
Every the time you pick up a newspaper you can bet your bottom dollar there will be some star or other that has made the news this way.
Do the newspapers think that we are so sad that that is what really interest us or is it a just way of filling out the paper for lack of real news.
Does a footballer or golfer play any worse because of an affair he is having, Does a singers voice suddenly sound different, of course not.
It’s just that these people are always in the limelight and mostly away from home, and with the temptation.
Of course I feel sorry for the wives, but surly this is between them, let them sort it out without all the added pressure from the media.
I myself buy a newspaper and like to read the news, I thought that was what they were for but I suppose an affair of some celebrity or other sells the paper.
What a sad life some people must lead if this is what they get a kick out of reading.
I think I’ll stick to the Beano comic in future.

Do our councils ever learn?
Once again one of our wonderful councils forget who they work for and want the public to do the job we pay our council tax for.
Wiltshire Council sent a letter last week to tell the residents of an unadopted section of one road that they would have to drag their wheelie bins up to 100 yards along a potholed road in Trowbridge because the refuse lorry drivers say they won’t drive down it to protect their workers.
The residents of this unadopted section of road, of which the majority are frail pensioners in their seventies and eighties were told by Wiltshire Council last week that they would have to heave their bins to the end of the street because of fears for the health and safety of the binmen, what about the health and safety of these pensioners, doesn’t that matter.
The council added that the potholes could cause damage to vehicle tyres. What the hell are these workers paid for.
Many of the residents said that they would struggle to drag their bins along the unlit, pothole-ridden road, especially on darker winter days, as the street has not even got any lighting.
The angry residents rang the council with furious complaints and have been promised a meeting with the council and bin contractor Focsa.
One former refuse collector said: “I did this job about 17 years ago and this road, even with its potholes, is like a motorway for their vans compared to the conditions they face on the landfill sites. They say the tyres could be damaged, that is ridiculous.
He said “I live near the entrance of the street and even I would have a struggle to get my bin up there with my arthritis. If we do manage to get the bins there, what about the hazard of dozens of bins left in the road? This whole health and safety lark has gone mad.”
The council’s technical officer for waste and recycling told residents in a letter: “The refuse crew in your area have advised me of a health and safety issue when trying to load your bins on to the lifters.
The surface condition of the road is preventing the bins being safely manoeuvred for emptying, putting the operatives at risk. Additionally there is a risk that the potholes could cause damage to the vehicle tyres.”
One resident said: “I’m not very keen to walk up to the top with my bin. It would be very difficult for me, especially in the winter months. It is just not on.”
Her neighbour said: “We just want our bins collected from outside our homes again. It has always been done this way. The population here is elderly and not in the best of health.”
Another said “I think it would be just as great a health and safety risk to leave all the bins at the top of the road as it is to collect them from our houses.
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: “We understand residents’ concerns and are meeting them with a representative from our contractor Focsa to resolve the situation. Focsa is concerned about the safety of their staff and the public, however will continue with the current collection arrangements while the matter is resolved.
It should not take long to resolve it, GET RID of the firm you use and employ some sensible dustmen like we always used to.
It’s about time these councils remembered they are employed by the rate payer, their first interest should be to them.
These binmen are a joke. Where I live if your bin lid is raised because of the amount in there, they won’t take it.
If they find a bin with not a lot in, they take that out and put on the top of another one, even if that overfills it.
Somebody tell me what’s the difference?

Why did the Bosnian police waste their time
Bosnian police on Friday tracked down a Bosnian girl who sparked world wide outrage when she was seen on video throwing half a dozen puppies into a river.
The girl in her teens lives lives in the central town of Bugojno, police spokesman Sefir Barucija was quoted as saying, that officers did not plan to reveal her identity.
Under Bosnian law a person who kills or tortures animals is punishable only with fines ranging from 15 to 5,000 euros (19 to 6,400 dollars).
It turns out that if found guilty and fined it would be the first such case in Bosnia.
It’s reported that the girl's grandmother told her to throw the three-day-old puppies into the river and the girl believed that throwing puppies into river was "the most merciful" way to get rid off them.
The video shows a blonde girl taking the squealing black-and-white puppies out of a white bucket and tossing them into the fast-moving river one by one.
The video has been removed from YouTube but some Facebook pages are still dedicated to exposing the girl.
Once again it shows just how little regard some so called civilised humans have for these helpless creatures.
For the Bosnian police not to identify the person shows just how dedicated they are (and not in the animals favour)
This girl and her grand mother should have the book thrown at them.
What the hell did the police they waste their time for, was it just to make a show,. If the video had not been shown I doubt they would even have bothered anyway, after all the punishment is hardly worth their time.
The girl in her teens lives lives in the central town of Bugojno, police spokesman Sefir Barucija was quoted as saying, that officers did not plan to reveal her identity.
Under Bosnian law a person who kills or tortures animals is punishable only with fines ranging from 15 to 5,000 euros (19 to 6,400 dollars).
It turns out that if found guilty and fined it would be the first such case in Bosnia.
It’s reported that the girl's grandmother told her to throw the three-day-old puppies into the river and the girl believed that throwing puppies into river was "the most merciful" way to get rid off them.
The video shows a blonde girl taking the squealing black-and-white puppies out of a white bucket and tossing them into the fast-moving river one by one.
The video has been removed from YouTube but some Facebook pages are still dedicated to exposing the girl.
Once again it shows just how little regard some so called civilised humans have for these helpless creatures.
