rather amusing

Just watching the news on ITV and saw a clip from David Cameron talking about the fact that Labour are 7 points ahead of the Tories in the polls. (how? not that I like the Tories, but how is anyone supporting any of the three main parties?)

He said that 'polls come and polls go' but, of course, just being a clip, it could have been spelt anyway...Like

Poles come and Poles go? Except that they don't really....which is presumably why this government is planning on building lots more council houses so people like me who can't afford their own house pay for other people to get houses and then pay for other people to get rich by paying their mortgage from our rent.

Am just sick of this country, I really am. It all seems to be geared up for people who don't try hard. I heard a story the other day about someone who was done for a minor infringement and saw first hand police on first name terms with a repeat violent offender who got treated like it was a hotel, whilst this guy just had to sit there and suffer because he has done well for himself.

We all get taxed so much to pay for health services which don't work, politicians who don't listen and to fund the lifestyles of people who need to get off their arses and do some work instead of living off mine, and other people who contributes, money. These people are doing what they can to make sure anyone who can leaves this bloody socialist bolt hole

It's not like the Tories are any better. They are proving that they haven't gotten to grips with economics by failing to realise that cutting tax boosts economic growth by saying that they will wait for growth before cutting tax. mental.

Putin is right about something

It's Russian week here at Chez Trixy, and I have just seen a comment by the Russian President himself that I rather agree with:

After Britain allowed a significant number of crooks, suspicious characters and terrorists to gather on its territory, it ... endangered the life and health of Britain's own subjects, and all the blame for that rests with Britain.

Or, more precisely, it lies with our lying, cheating politicians who have given away the right for Britain to control her own borders to the EU. (Labour and Tories in the UK, and all of them except UKIP in Brussels.)

That's why we can't deport criminals who are from the EU, or deny people from the EU into Britain on the basis of their criminal record, or have embarkation controls between entry ports within the EU, or stop people we don't want to come in, like Bulgarian mafia, from coming in.

Nice one! Go and award yourself a holiday on the taxpayer. And stay there, you horrible little slimeballs. Bleugh. You make me want to vomit.

Yet more hypocrisy from the Tories

I read the story the other day that up to 3000 foreign criminals would be released without being deported and wondered how it was once again in the news. Only 250 EU criminals (and I'm not talking about MEPs here) will be even considered for preliminary deportation procedures, according to a probation circular.

Well, I'm not surprised. Last year I was talking about the same regulation stopped countries from denying entry to EU nationals on the basis of a criminal record:

Article 27 (2) of 2004/58/EC says:

'Measures taken on grounds of public policy or public security shall comply with the principle of proportionality and shall be based exclusively on the personal conduct of the individual concerned. Previous criminal convictions shall not in themselves constitute grounds for taking such measures (restricting freedom of movement).'

If we continue:

he Conservatives said yesterday that the revelation was a further embarrassment for Home Secretary John Reid.

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: 'Yet again we see that the public will be put at risk as a direct result of John Reid's failure.

'He spun he had a deal to remove these offenders but the rhetoric has not matched the action. John Reid was brought in to deal with the foreign prisoner crisis yet one year on as he quits office we see he has totally failed.'

Oooh, the Tories are criticising an EU law! But why? This law came into force because of EU enlargement to ten new member states, which the Tories were in favour of!

As I have said before, it was also a Tory who wrote the report in the European Parliament calling for Bulgaria to join the EU, and they are also in favour of Turkey joining.

It was under Michael Howard's stint as Europe Minister that laws governing control of our borders were first given away to the EU, and also the Tories are always talking about how much they love the single market, and how freedom of movement must be incorporated into this for it to work properly.

So what is David Davis complaining about? Why is he blaming John Reid? If the Tories didn't like it, they could have voted against it, rather than supporting it....

Biased media?

An e-mail from my father reminded me of a story I had been told a few weeks ago (but had to keep quiet about). The Speakout campaign is a non party aligned organisation who want people to know the truth about the EU.

One of their methods of highlighting the truth is through advertising in national newspapers. Now it is on their website I feel at liberty to be able to say which paper surprised me the most in their banning of an advert which did not seek to sell anything, or to mislead, but just to inform people.

The Daily Mail refused to take an advert from Speak Out. Why?

Well, I guess it's because it's rather awkward for organisations and companies who are still supporting the Conservative Party, and who feature stories about how uncontrolled immgiration is not good for our country, to then have an advert in their paper highlighting that these two features are entirely at odds with each other...



*by the way, the link from the Daily Mail was one of 2288 I could have linked to, just by typing in 'immigration'. So they write about it a fair amount, then...
