The yobs of Gordon Brown’s Broken, Blameless Britain claim one more victim – 64 year old David Askew tormented to death in his own home.

As we head towards the next general election we have to consider very carefully what kind of situation do we, the hard working and law-abiding citizens, of the United Kingdom wish to be in over the coming years. Well, if you take a look at what we have right now, what kind of society we live in, you can only come to one conclusion…we need to change everything about life here in the UK and that HAS to start with changing the Government. I don’t mean just ‘change’ it either – I mean tear it up, douse it in petrol, put a match to it and watch it turn into a hideous fireball. We need to completely decimate the past thirteen years of Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour’ - wipe it from our consciousness, build a memorial to it’s many, many victims, and start all over again. Like God, Noah and the Flood…actually it would not be a bad idea – just get all the decent people out of the way and then let ‘God’ reduce the place to a huge pile of ashes made up of all those feckless, useless parents who have spawned the worst two generations of youth in history.

Then we can all come back and begin again and do things the second time round the way they should be done – the way they USED to be done…

For people like 64 year old David Askew it is too late, he wont be around to cast his vote to rid this nation of the corrupt, heartless and vile administration that currently taints the UK. I bet he would have done so too, because for 10 years this poor man was subjected to non-stop abuse, a never-ending nightmare of terror and violence inflicted upon him, his brother and his wheelchair-bound mother by gangs of youths who knew that they could get away with murder. And they have – Mr Askew, a vulnerable man with learning difficulties, collapsed and died at his home last night after a decade of torment, stress and ill-health became too much. He had just spent several hours being terrorised at his home – by the time the police arrived the cowards had run away. As they do. The blame is now being laid squarely where it belongs, not only on the scumbags who made this man’s life a misery but with the police who literally did nothing for a decade, with the council who did not want to know, with the courts who are not interested in the criminal activities of young males and with a society who takes no blame whatsoever for anything anymore.

Of course no-one will be to blame for David Askew’s death least of all the scum who caused it. Their parents – most likely to be unmarried mothers – will be ‘disadvantaged’ and so not responsible for their offspring’s actions; the police will say they did everything ‘within their powers’ which is kind of correct because they HAVE no powers these days anyway…unless you are a motorist and drive over the speed limit, or take a photograph of your own child in a public park on a swing. In such cases the police will hound you all the way to court. I would like to know where was the community concern…? fair enough – the neighbours are shocked (but not surprised…) readily admit the police were useless but I would like to know where was everyone else! where are the men who live nearby and who could have acted together to protect Mr Askew and his mother and brother? there was a time when the local men would have got together and outnumbered those yobs – there was time when they would have been allowed to do so, these days you have a small technicality called the Human Rights Act 1998 to stop innocent citizens protecting themselves from violent thugs as these.

These were not kids, they were 18 and 19 year old bullies tormenting this man for cigarettes and money, smashing his windows more times than anyone can even recount – and that is just the beginning. The same suburban torture drove a mother, Fiona Pilkington, to end her own life and that of her disabled daughter’s when the years of torment from local yobs drove her to complete and utter despair. How is this allowed to happen in the 21st century?

And just consider this: while Mr Askew, Fiona Pilkington and her daughter, and thousands of other innocent people live their lives in terror in the UK and  take the only way out that they know of – suicide or dropping dead from the stress and fear – the Government has spent millions of your money protecting the skins of Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, two vicious little child killers, from the rest of society. It seems crazy that protecting criminals and murderers from outraged citizens is now far more important than protecting vulnerable, law-abiding people from cruel and feral scum. Criminals matter – people like David Askew do not.

Sahil Saeed…now it seems he is NOT found!

In what is turning out to be a very unusual story it is now being reported that little Sahil Saeed has NOT been found safe and well after all. After exclusive reports earlier this morning on SKY News, the BBC and even the international media, the Pakistani police and authorities are now claiming that the search for the child is still “ongoing”.

It has been acknowledged though that the boy’s father, Raja Naqqesh Saeed arrived back at Manchester Airport last Tuesday and has gone into hiding since – it is not known where he is at the moment and it is known that he was in possession of his son’s passport.A lot of questions need to be asked in this case; if this child is still in Pakistan why has his father left the country and gone into hiding? why has his mother not flown to Pakistan to help find her son…? if it was my child I would have been out on the first flight!

The family’s actions in this whole situation can only be described as very odd…

The school playground is not what it used to be – it is too…safe.

I assist in supervising P1 children during their lunch break at school and one thing I have noticed is how very different the school playground is now compared to how it was when I was six years old. It is a vastly different place and, in my opinion, not a better one for it. In France the kids have plenty to play with in the school playgrounds – jump ropes, balls to throw around and they can take a toy to school if they wish – that’s my memory of school life in France as my son experienced it.

Not so here in the UK where ‘health and safety’ regulations have taken the school playground and turned it into a barren wasteland of bare concrete with nothing whatsoever thrown in for the kids to occupy themselves with. It’s BORING! and all so that little Dylan cannot get hit in the face with a ball, or little Alice does not trip over her jump rope and skin her knee…what a disaster that would be!

When I was in primary school we had these wonderful Moreton Bay Fig trees in our playground with wide spreading root bases that we climbed and used as spaceships or whatever else our imaginations could conjure up. We played with skipping ropes and ‘elastic jumps’, the boys played with marbles and the girls played with those ‘knuckles’ – you could kick a ball around, take a doll to play with…not my little charges though. All they have is a stark concrete square that they must run around in and they cannot have anything to play with in it – no ball, no jump ropes…nothing. As a result many of the kids get bored so they push others around, they swing round the lightpole for some fun and fall off it and fall against the large metal perimeter fence and hurt themselves. They chase each other for something to do and fall over and skin a knee, scrape a hand or a nose…obviously accidents still happen regardless.They are encouraged to tell you as soon as another child as much as looks at them the wrong way so that you are all the time fielding trivial complaints such as “she wont play with me…he poked my head…he pulled my hair…she bumped into me…” – when I was that age you were considered a time waster and tattle-tale for wasting the teacher’s time with such trivialities – the nuns taught us to sort minor things out among ourselves and if anything major happened one of the nuns would certainly see it in a split second – they had eyes like hawks so they saw and dealt with stuff that need dealing with.

I feel sorry for today’s kids, if they are allowed too much freedom and not have the security of strong boundaries they fall down form lack of judgement – and if they are wrapped up in cotton wool so they don’t hurt themselves they still end up in a scrapes of something or another. Either way they need to learn how to look after themselves to some degree, get a knock here and there and get up and get on with it. And have some good old fashioned fun along the way. A grazed knee is a far better option than a repressed spirit.
