ohgrandma Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Why does this government allow a Serial Paedophile to come back to U.K. And NOT allow a Faulklands War Hero, to come back for treatment he sustained in the War.Is there no justice.? Also, why has David Cameron, not read his Highway Code Booklet. and is he colour blind.? Just a thought about him, as he could become our next Prime Minister. And would the Red dispatch box used on budget day become Green. *-) Ria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymer C 9. Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Do you know I have no idea what is happening to this country, everything that is done is reaction to what has happened on not sensible action to prevent things, perhaps if we have to have Australia' pedophile they could take there guy who has just been convicted of murder here to even it up. It just makes me so mad I could fill pages, the streets not safe to walk at night, litter thrown everywhere, I know we still have a lot of good things in the UK, and when you travel you realise that more, but we seem to throw so much of what was good about this country away so easily, instead of been proud of our heritage we seem to have to deny it. rant over for a bit sorry. >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgrandma Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes Dean too many. I was really upset about the soldier they are lovely people.and they do not deserve this sort of treatment .

BGD Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 As I understand it, the "Aussie" guy had emigrated to Australia when he was 5 years old with his parents, but because he never took up Australian citizenship when he came of adult age, he's always stayed a UK National, with a UK passport. As a UK citizen, Australia has been able to evict him from their country...and it was then his personal decision to return to his country of citizenship rather than attempting to enter any other country. The UK can't stop him doing so, as he's served his prison sentences for his crimes committed in Australia. So just like all the rest of us who hold UK citizenship, he's got the right to live in the UK. If he commits any future crimes once back in the UK, he'll be subject to UK criminal law and sentencing, but legally the UK is and always has been his "home country". What rather surprised me was how long it took Australia to finally kick him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgrandma Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes, Bruce.I understand he is a U K citizen, But, If he commits one more crime that is one too many for me. I think they should all be branded in some way, that we would all know exactly who they are. I fear for all the children who these evil men prey on. I was one of the lucky ones. Years ago we were never frightened to go out at night.In fact we had to walk a mile or more If we caught the last bus home from town. and were never worried. How times have changed. Ria.

Tomo3090 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The truth is grandma is that you and your grandkids are safer on the streets now that in the 1970s! Most children are abused by people they know, relatives, family friends etc. Most violent crime takes place in city centres between young males who have been drinking heavily. There is other crime and some violence of course in most towns and villages but if you look at history then you will find that there always has been this. It is just that with 24 hour media and more papers they all jump on the bandwagon when a juicy story breaks. There was an article in the paper the other day that said that children as young as 10 are put under more stress and worry by their parents worrying about them and being afraid for them to go out than the reality that they know is out there!

CliveH Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Castrate anyone who is a serial abuser of children would be my preferred option. It is bad enough it happening once but with some treatment and help seems to work. But for those where it does not work - Castration and chemical straightjacket via depo injection or other very long acting drug delivery system. As for the Ghurka !! I am genuinely ashamed. We have a Ghurka restaurant near (Wareham) where we has our 'van on a seasonal pitch . I hope he has a petition of some sort because we intend to use it when we are next down for a w/e and will certainly be looking for a way to protest at this guys treatment.

BGD Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The Ghurkas are IMHO better and more loyal Brits than most people born in Britain. They have served, and continue to serve, as distinguished members of the British Army, with honour, bravery and dignity. They are also one of the most ferocious and most feared regiments in that British Army. And when they have finished laying their lives on the line for Britain for 15 years or more they are thanked by........being told by the British Government that they are not entitled to anything. For pities sake, who amongst you voted these slimy, self-serving, repugnant, unprincipled morons into office? Even Prince Harry went abroad and to the extent that he was allowed, actually risked his life for his country. All the fat boated, overpaid, expenses-defrauding, snouts-in-the-trough career politicians in this present Government should IMHO be evicted from office forthwith at the next General Election.

howie Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 New improved labour is hell bent on creating a multi-cultural society that celebrates the diversities of all races and religions, where we all live in peace and harmony and learn to love one another. Yeah!. Problem is that the Nepalese Gurkhas represent everything labour hates about Britain. A constant reminder of our imperial past and loyal to Queen and Country rather than the glorious European Union, so no chance of getting a fair deal there i,m afraid. Why waste time on castration for paedophiles. They obviously have no concept of the most basic of laws of decensy that our society expects, so lets settle for a ounce of lead between the eyes and have done with it.

davenewellhome Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Oh come on! How is the Ghurka situation the responsibilty of this government and not any of the previous ones who ignored the Ghurkas? This situation has been going on for years and yes it is deplorable but lets be realistic here, the Tories never did anything about it either. D.

ohgrandma Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well to add to what has been said.The Ghurkas have seryed alongside our British Troops since 1815,and have been Awarded 26 Victoria Crosses in that time, Whatever government is in power it doesn,t matter . they should still be treated with the utmost respect and any help they need should be given to them.I have a photo of a member of my family stood with a Ghurka buddie, taken years ago and I am proud to possess it. I just wonder if ( God forbid) we should need them in the future, they will turn their backs on us. Ria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.That,s true Dave, but the point is that this present government seem quite willing to allow all kinds of trash and undesirables into this country. Mafia type gangs, forced prostitution or drugs etc. from East European countries seem o.k., but what really upsets people is that those who have served this country with such distinction are then treated so shamefully.

LordThornber Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Tomo3090 Most violent crime takes place in city centres between young males who have been drinking heavily. QUOTE] Too true and witnessed on Sat evening. We'd enjoyed our usual walk and ended it in town for a pint or 2. Our 1st drink went down like lightening due to these 3 oafs who sat near us, one of whom was particularly objectionable. His whole demeanour was just awful, aggressive stance, obscene language etc. At 6pm.. So out we go and mooched to the nearest place we have that we can call a local, couple of jars and a good natter later and it's about 9pm. We leave and are walking to a taxi office and who's stood on the corner but the oaf and his loyal band of cretins. He started shouting abuse at myself & Andrea and threatening goodness know what else. The taxi office was our saviour. So to sum up. Quiet night interrupted by mindless drunken idiots, heaven knows what he and his crew might have done had we been anything other than a sober law abiding respectable couple. I know Blackburn isn't some leafy snoozy village but it is not The Bronx either. With apologies to The Bronx 8-) Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
