RANT TIME (revisited)

Everywhere and everything is in fucking chaos, there are pitiful mewling voices from governments the world over saying..."Why don't our people love us anymore" or "They are thugs and criminals and must be prosecuted to within an inch of their lives"


I personally am totally sick and tired of the 'governments' and their posturing, their blaming of the people for all the ills of society...HAVE YOU FUCKING FORGOTTEN it was you that banned us from disciplining our children, it was you that criminalised vast swathes of the otherwise law abiding public with your speed cameras and overbearing policing tactics,it was you that bailed out (correction 'gave away our money') the greedy bastard Banker Wankers...

and now the shit is hitting the fan...what are you going to do! give the police more powers is your answer Mr Camiknickers, what a stupid fucker you are you chinless twat!...sort out the inequalities in the system first, slap the bankers into oblivion and FUCK the Rothschilds private bank off the face of the earth, yes chinless one we know all about them being behind both sides of every war for the last couple of hundred years and coining it like Midas on a supermarket dash!

Merkle is getting her comeuppance over there in deutschland as she so justly deserves, the EU is a conglomerate of debt ridden junkies squealing for a last fix before they go under, the USA has been downrated to AA+ status and the sleeping giant of China and the Asian alliance is waking from its pretended sleep and raising its sights to the carrion carcass that it has been aching to strip clean for so long lichen has grown over their incisors!

Why are we at war every fucking where Davey boy does it make you feel like a 'real man' having the deaths of thousands on your conscience, or does it make your flacid little penis useful to your wife again you evil toad! (perhaps that was a little too vitriolic...nah!) You and your fellow troughers have ruined this world, the world we could have had and all been happy and well provided for in YOU and your ilk have denied to us! Bastards! FUCKING MINDLESS MURDERING GOON BASTARDS!

I hope your employers (the real ones, not us) pay you handsomely for your perfidy,I hope that for your sake they take you with them when they retire to their bunkers as the streets become awash with the blood of the people you have betrayed at every turn, for if they leave you behind Davey I do not believe that you will last for very long for all your contacts and public schooling, maybe the 'feral youth' that erupted into the so called riots gave you pause for thought and a change of underwear, yes Davey they WERE that close to you and your gaff werent they and they will not have forgotten the lessons they learnt in police containment...lol yes thats right the boot was on the other foot this time round wasn't it!, the kettlers kettled, completely out manouevered and out classed by a bunch of kids...that had to be the funniest thing this year!!!

(and I mean no disrespect to the decent people who were caught up in the fracas and lost their homes/possesions/ and in a few cases their lives, I even like you abhor such violence, but you place the blame in the wrong place...it is yours and yours alone ((well all 640 odd of you)) and your repressive policy enforcers!)

Why have I risen from my slumbers to rant at you febrile mentalists again? I am noticing the price of food...its going up isn't it Davey, it is getting so that ordinary people cannot afford to buy meat and veg to feed themselves with, the price of fuel has driven many vehicles off the roads even given the supermarkets interventions on prices (calculated I would opine to drive small independent garages out of business), there is little time left for the ordinary folk to prepare for the 'hard times' ahead and precious little spare cash to stock up with either, when the supermarket shelves go empty after a couple of days, will you and Sam be inviting the neighbours round to share your pantry stocks..and what will the poor people do then Davey...I rather think that they will...errrm whats the word...it escapes me for the moment ...ahhh yes they my fuckwitted wonder will RIOT! only when that time comes it will be for real!

PS sort out the Libyan mess you have embroiled us in and get us the FUCK out of the Fucking EU NOW!!, and hey Davey boy, when are you going to invade Bahrain don't tell me you don't know about their government massacree of the peaceful pro democracy protesters...FUCKING HYPOCRITE!!! 

Youre going the wrong way boys..but are we suprised

Our brave police running from rioters/protestors, how come they run from the Islamists and beat the countryside alliance to a bloody pulp..

Something really does smell about this...and we the British people should be very worried!!!

It is quite clear from this video who the aggresors are and isn't it about time that they were stopped from this sort of behaviour?

Where is the coverage of this in the MSM, whrere is Andrew Marr to give his considered though twatish opinion on the days events...

There is war on our streets and no one is telling the ordinary British Public about it, no one is telling the truth...

Time to stop the rot, time to make Britain the place it was once again, in short its time to stand up and be counted...

Write to your MP send them this link and tell them what you think of the situation, do it soon or you will not be able to do it at all!!!

Suicide by Cop!

Well there has been little to get ones teeth into in the news lately but one thing I feel I have to post about is the shooting of barrister Mark Saunders...

A while back I posted on Raoul Moat and was not very polite or supportive of police methods, a little later I was over at Insp Gadget's place commenting on something or other and some of the commenter's (I assume police personnel) were complaining that we blogger's always rip them a new arsehole whenever they fuck up!

Very true!, we do have a go at them on a fairly regular basis (but they do also lay themselves wide open for it ) they (the commenter's) said that we never said anything positive about them...well this time, this time I am going to congratulate them for their actions...read on...

Mark Saunders, for whatever reason, was not a happy bunny!...and holed himself up in his expensive flatlet in Chelsea, from where he was taking potshots with a shotgun at his neighbours properties. Why a supposedly highly educated (Oxford) barrister should be doing such a thing we may never know, he was drunk is about the only excuse I have heard so far...

The police tried to negotiate with him for 5 hours before he again appeared at the kitchen window with his shotgun...I was surprised he was not shot immediately...but he in fact was allowed to sway around for a minute or so before he lowered the gun...and raised it again...still not shot, I was amazed...and then lowered again this time a bit too far ...upon which he was taken out in a small hail of bullets from police marksmen.

Whether they had been ordered to fire over their radios or had determined to fire independently, it is my belief that it was entirely the right thing to have done...

The man was clearly dangerously reckless of anyone else's safety, whether he wished to die (commit suicide) or not, he was a fool with a gun and fools with guns should not be given the chance to harm others.

A great deal was made of the Moat shooting/tasering, and there seems to be little difference between the two incidents. Both involved standoffs with men with guns, the reason why the Moat killing was unacceptable was his gun pointed only at himself, whilst Saunders pointed his at the world in general.

Well done to the police concerned in this case, you showed the restraint that I called for previously and did a hard job in difficult circumstances, and from what I know of this case I for one can/will not fault you!

Balancing the book, PC David Rathband...

Last night I watched an interview with PC David Rathband, victim of the shotgun wielding Raoul Moat, I have been waiting to hear more of this part of the story and to tell the truth was surprised to see him make a statement so soon.

His quiet dignity and measured tone showed me what a brave man that he is, his determination to recover and return to service in his obviously beloved Police force speaks volumes.

This is the face of the cool head that I have been writing about wanting to see in our Police, I have nothing but admiration for this man who though seriously injured tried under extreme duress to do all the right things. I watched and listened to his account of what he believed at the time were probably his last moments in this life, his immediate concern was to let his fellow officers know what had happened and where Raoul Moat was, to try to ensure that this chain of events would be no longer than absolutely neccessary.

It was easy to feel the emotion welling inside him at the thought of not being ever again in the arms of his wife and family and I for one choked up when he talked of that fear and choked on it. I had hoped to put that interview with him in this post but could not find it on Youtube, so the press release from his brother will have to speak for him.

PC Rathband and his brother show the dignity this situation demands, in complete contrast to the media frenzy over the other side and the statements made by Moats brother. Mr Darren Rathband  reitterates his brothers previous statement and also gives the news that David will be welcomed back to service with the force whenever he feels he is ready.

There were no accusations, no railing against the injustice of what had befallen his brother, just a bare statement and then he slips away through the crowd . Two very brave and dignified men who's calibre we could all do well to emulate!

I cannot for a moment imagine Raoul Moat even attempting to pick himself up from such a situation, indeed he preferred to use violence rather than sort his life out and become a man!

I wish PC Rathband a speedy recovery and hope that medical science will one day be able to give him his sight back, so he may enjoy his world and family once again. He deserves that, Good Luck David!

Some sense and perspective from Anna Raccoon

Obsession with paramilitery equipment is a 'grave' mistake!

Vindication of many of the views that I have put forward over the 'Moat affair' in the last few days comes today from an unlikely but well informed source, Brian Paddick former Metropolitan assistant deputy commissioner writing in the Daily Mail has a lot to say on the matter of Police, policing and the equipment they use to do it...

The contrast was strange and disconcerting. Dressed like extras from Robocop, we saw a group of heavily-armed police officers taking aim at the hedgerows last week amid scenes of Northumbrian tranquility.

Well we at least know why they were equipped in this fashion this time;

Aside from the body armour and the radios, there were automatic rifles, pistols for closequarter combat and Tasers.

It does seem rather reasonable in the circumstances doesn't it!...lets get to the point shall we...

Yet the huge weight of equipment on view will strike most (especially city dwellers) as far from unusual. We are all too familiar with bulky body armour, guns and a range of modish extras that have turned the old-fashioned bobby into something resembling a High Street stormtrooper.

Ahh, here we go, it is a fact that the Police are routinely dressing this way all around our fair country...

the ordinary policeman or woman has been transformed beyond recognition - with damaging results for public confidence and even for their ability to do the job itself.

the conviction that the right appearance helps secure the trust and respect of the public, has been gradually lost.

 Too right mate no one wants to approach Robocop with his gun held across his chest to ask for the time or directions...people are becoming afraid of doing so because of how they look...

the police have been the authors of their own difficulty - not least in the way they present themselves in public.

What is going on ?...you mean there are Police (or ex Police) who can talk sense!!!...

senior officers decided they would allow police officers to routinely wear body armour. This was despite the officers being shot in the legs, which are not covered by body armour, and despite gunmen rarely targeting police officers.

Rarely targeted? if he says so then I suppose there must be some truth in it eh?

The sight of policemen in bulky armoured vests creates a psychological barrier between them and the public and raises people's fear of crime. We assume the streets are dangerous if officers appear to feel the need, as a matter of routine, for protective clothing.

Ahhh... the crux of it!...psychological barriers, and assumptions that our streets are not safe!!

These regrettable changes are little to do with the world outside the police station. The murder rate in Britain has barely changed for decades (between 550 and 650 a year) as has the level of serious violence directed at police.

Well strap me down to a table lest I fall over in a dead faint, so for DECADES the rates of violence and murder are virtually unchanged, that is not what we the general public have been led to believe now is it Mr Bliar?...

I believe that the look reflects the macho, male-dominated nature of the organisation. Some officers have always looked to resolve situations by force as a first, rather than a last, resort.

OOOhhh...Brian now there IS an admission...so many of the arbiters of law are in fact the violent that we the public need protecting against is it?...do correct me if I have read that wrongly....(as if)...

It is often said that Britain is policed by consent, where officers are seen as citizens in uniform operating with the support of the public.

It 'was' often said Brian, there cannot be many who still say it unless they are actually Police personnel or politicians (hawk...spit!)...

Yet the militarisation of the beat bobby is eroding that unique relationship - to the extent that police community support officers are now officially seen as 'the bridge between the police and the public'.

Oh Ho...the acceptable face of Policing are they? what bobbies used to be, unarmed and mostly trying to be a friendly deterrent presence on the streets, whilst Rambo in his battle gear is running around doing 'more' important stuff!! (like what, giggling like schoolgirls over x-ray images of naked public in airports?)

It is fortunate that the damage is not beyond repair.

What exactly makes you think that for gods sake...people now fear and revile the Police force, for when called upon they take forever to arrive and rarely if ever do the callers see a real resolution to the problem they called about in the first place. What use to me a crime number!, I want to see some bastard jailed for breaking into my car and stealing my stereo etc, mostly my insurance excess means its not worth the claim and loss of no claims...

The extendable batons should be hidden from view. CS spray and Tasers should be held ready for use in patrol cars.

Too right they should mate there is nothing more incongruous than the sight of a fully armed and protected officer in a quiet leafy suburb where there is nil chance of being attacked as its broad daylight  and the complainant is the only one around for miles ...(though hang on a sec...maybe just maybe its us they are frightened of as we are so pissed off with their usual fob offs, we just may...)

Which leads us back to the beginning and Mr Paddicks Headline;

How can the public feel safe when the police are so scared?

 Quite so Mr Paddick, quite so....

I wouldn't want to ask him the time something might go off accidentally while he was looking for his watch!!!

Is this the face of Tasercop? was he the trigger man?

To me this is NOT the face of anyone I want to be in the Police force, how does he strike you?
Does he come across as a person weighed down with the responsibilities of an armed siege, looking for the best outcome?
Or does he look to you as he does to me, a blood thirsty gung-ho yob who is itching to pull the trigger ?

This is the sort of face I have seen too many times on drunken yobs, about the business of starting a fight, nasty, brutish and just eager to do as much damage to someone as they possibly can...

This is not the expression that we need on the faces of those who uphold the law, it is a difficult enough job to ask anyone to do but those who should be doing it should, to my mind, NEVER look like this...

This is the face of hatred, the face of Papa Baby Docs enforcers, the face of totalitarian state police who care little if anything for the people that they are supposed to protect!

Seriously look at him, would you want that face anywhere near your life/family? I wouldn't!

It is the expression of the animal rage and blood lust that lies under the surface of far too many of the people who have positions of power over us, we have seen it before in the Hunt protest policing and various other places where confrontational situations have occurred.

It is time these (people) were weeded out of the Police service and cooler heads put in their place.

Was he, or someone like him, the one who tasered Mr Moat? I am sure he would have if he could have, aren't you?

Funnily enough out of all the pictures I have seen of Mr Moat if you had put the worst of them beside this face and asked me to choose who was the more dangerous to my well being... I would unhesitatingly have answered this one!

No wonder they waited till it was dark, eh!

Mr Raoul Moat was undoubtedly a bad and dangerous problem for society to deal with, but it should have been the duty of the Police as PEACE OFFICERS to arrest this man to stand trial for his crimes. Society needed to see what if any reasons he had before pronouncing sentence on him, (I will agree that such sentences that are available are too lenient for this type of crime) society needed his 'myth/legend', call it what you will, to be defused in the undergrounds popular imagination! It was a stupid act to leave doubts in anyone's mind as to whether the death was 'fair' or not, for that only leaves the door ajar it does not close it!

I do not believe that a line will ever now be able to be drawn under this affair, too many people do not believe the Police versions of events in the general run of life and dealings with them, and this could have been completly televised/recorded so there was no doubt in anyones mind...do not tell me that it would have been too graphic, they televised 9/11 and 7/7 didn't they?

Sanitising death in such circumstances does society no favours!
 
Thanks to Rantin Rab for finding the picture

The end of the Moat saga?

Negotiators are trying to talk Mr Moat into giving himself up....

There are reports that Mr Moat was chased through the village and cornered at the riverbank by the allotment gardens...

as an aside , it is hilarious watching the live news with the presenters, who are on camera, who do not realise they are on air their tie straightening and expression straightening are hilarious!!!

Mr Moat is very alone  within a cordon of Police officers... the Police do appear to be being very careful not to push this situation to the point of Mr Moat committing suicide  or being shot by the Police themselves...

Personally I am amazed at the restraint that is being shown, will this reassure the general public that the Police are better than many believe them to be, it would be good propaganda for them if they managed to achieve a peaceful outcome!

God what a media circus this is ( and I suppose I am apart of it) the reporters are scrambling to find a view point which they can see all from...how much will the house residents charge for the privilege of using the upstairs back bedroom window...

Hopefully this will end with no further loss of life or injury... but ended it appears to be...

Breaking news on the Moat front!!

watching the news as Mr Raoul Moat is surrounded and holding a gun to his own head,

I have to admit to being wrong earlier when I wrote that I believed that the Police would shoot him dead as soon as they saw him... there appears to be a reticence in the mix now and the Police (fair play to them ) are trying to negotiate with the man  concerned.
What the outcome will be as darkness falls is anybodies guess.. There has been a stand off situation for the last hour or so...

I can only hope that the Police act as Peace Officers as opposwd to enforcers... they seem to be trying to do the right thing...

What will happen now???

There seems to be a difficult situation in that the Policfe do not seem to have a clear shot at the fugitive...

The police have been very busy crashing cars into themselves trying to get to the scene (surely that must be dangerous driving?) It would seem that there is little hope that Mr Moat will be able to escape this situation to continue this vendetta against the police, the police have completely cornered him and unless he points the gun at someone other than himself then they will NOT open fire at him... will he die tonight  or not? your guess is as good as mine!!!

Why the almighty rush to get a Moat?

The rozzers, hundreds of em, are all over the particular part of the country Mr Moat is supposed to be hiding out in, kitted to the max in bullet proof this and that and even (at huge cost to the taxpayer) shipped armoured cars from NI, still they haven't found him

So what do they do...try harder to tighten the cordon?

NO!...in time honoured fashion honed from years of avoiding violent scenes, while violence is ongoing, and only turning up hours after the perpetrators have flown the coop, they have quietly backed off. Preffering instead to call out the SAS and for fucks sake 'fly overs' by Tornado jets with heat seeking devices (as if that is going to show much other than bunch after bunch of scared shitless coppers hiding where they feel safest...)

The reason they are escalating the find Mr Moat campaign is somewhat different to the usual  he is a danger to society line (as indeed he may well be) I for one think it has more to do with every day, hour, minute that Mr Moat manages to evade capture or death, there is a section of the British public that thinks "go on my son, you show the bastards" and as this opinion set swells the police are shitting themselves that others may take up the flag  when it is ultimately dropped from the lifeless hands of Mr Moat.

Make no mistake there will be NO attempt to take this man alive, they have already decided that a kill from a sniper at half a mile is what is needed, for everyones safety !

Mr Moat is turning into a latter day Robin Hood/William Wallace type of figure in the minds of too many people who sympathise with his anger, regardless of the rights or wrongs of such views, that is what the police are so afraid of because they know their heavy handed arrogance over the last few years has engendered a simmering attitude of resentment against them. They have revelled in their role as subjugators and final arbiters of the law, when in fact in most cases they are merely abusing the law as it stands for their own targets and sadistic pleasure.

Do not misunderstand I support the police when they act as PEACE OFFICERS but that is a role they left behind them many years back. They do do a very hard and difficult job which has many things within it that you or I would quail at doing, attending road accidents etc peace officering again, its when they are policy and rule enforcers that they rub virtually every part of society up the wrong way. They chose their path through the leadership and lobbying of the unelected unnacountable ACPO organisation , who have argued for more and more police powers and exhorted their member forces to fulfil stupid and discriminatory legislation on otherwise harmless citizens

This is not forgotten from those that they have hung out to dry in the wind, and it is little wonder that Mr Moat is becoming somewhat of a legend among certain of the more put upon sections of our society...watch out Mr Policeman there are many, many Mr Moats out there who are watching and laughing at your seeming incompetance , and I wonder if they are just sort of keeping score, to see how many 'he' gets, then Mr Policeman be worried for the next one will be trying to better that score!!

I blame too many video games... and the way YOU have policed over the last 20 years. You would have far more support from the public if you had known, understood and stayed within the law yourselves and ruled with a lighter touch, few revel in repression...

When a Moat isn't a safety factor!

Who is to blamed for the rampage which is unfolding in the N.East, where one man Raoul Moat has declared war on the Police!

There were warnings apparently, the prison authorities knew before his release that he was a 'clear and present danger', and yet he was still released to go and meet out his retribution on those he perceived of as having been against him. Crystallising this hate upon the Police force which he see's as preying on society at large unfairly.

There is no doubt that Mr Moat is a seriously deranged person, but surely we have to address the underlying problem here. He is not alone in his detestation of the Police, many in society believe they have just reason to hate them for the way that they enforce the unfair criminalising laws which have been passed over the last decade or so.

We are perhaps lucky that most people draw the line at shooting/killing in their revulsion at the way in which we are governed and the subsequent enforcement of that governance by the Police. The question we have to be addressing is "how many more Moats are waiting in the wings to exact their vengeance on our society?".

I in no way condone such behaviour, let that be understood, but at the same time I feel that there is a definite mood across society that wants its vengeance to be done. Are we watching not a lone action by a deranged individual, but rather the first in a wave of long repressed ill feeling becoming visible?

Discontent runs deep in this our society, it has been festering for years now , with the erosion of all of our freedoms by government after government. There is a large part of society that does not see the political process as a viable vehicle for the introduction of much needed change for the better, having been betrayed time and time again by the liars and sycophants in government. The sense of injustice runs deep and strong, and the MP's reticence to address this feeling when caught red handed in the expenses scandal only makes the anger worse!

I feel it and many I know feel it, yet we are for the most part the moderate part of this society, preferring pen and paper to the sword and shotgun. The thing is if we feel the pulse of this hatred of authority within society then how strong must it actually be in the sink estates and other deprived and crime ridden parts of this country?

As a blogger I read and watch a great deal of different stuff about peoples dissatisfaction here in the UK and elsewhere. Videos of hordes of people at demonstrations with their anger emblazoned on their faces for all to see, if they would but look!. Inflammatory language is everywhere today and the moderates of this society are becoming more and more marginalised and even threatened by both the extremists and the authorities that are supposed to protect us and our British way of life.

British way of life eh!, that is long since gone, our freedoms stripped from us including the freedom to object to that which we disagree with, always minorities 'must not be challenged' or we are racist or sexist or some other PC bullshit term which in reality is just stripping us of our right to be normal British people doing what the British people have always done.

Well here is a minority that is so monumentally pissed off that he has taken the law into his own hands and fully expects to pay with his own life for the 'priviledge' to have done so. Perhaps he thinks it may make others, who would use the laws of this country inequitably, think twice before doing so again, who knows?.

...but it is time to be worried that this is not a lone, isolated instance  for it is only a month or so since another man went mad remember!
