Crime Does Pay Now In UK.

Wonderful. Our prison population now stands at over 77,000, the highest per capital in Europe. This in itself is a bloody miracle as the judiciary rarely seem to convict any b@st@rd these days (unless you owe money to the State like council tax etc) so our beloved Charles Clarke comes up with the idea of NOT putting any more people in prison…but in “Bleeding hostels WTF”.

I’m amazed. The Police estimate that there are around 100,000 hard core criminals in our midst who are responsible for most of the crime in the country. Let’s think about that for a moment.

100,000 people is fEK all. It used to be a large crowd at Wembley stadium. From a population of over 60,000,000.

Now let’s look at the cost we are paying NOT to round these b@st@rds up

Violence – Every day we read of 65 year old grand mothers raped and beaten by teenagers. An entire industry has been developed to stop the random violence that ALL of us face from some weirdo hearing voices in his head or somewhat “disappointed” that West Ham beat Middles-borough but to RECORD the event on CCTV. Massive amounts of OUR money are spent on recording people being beaten to death in shop doorways. Every pub and club has to hire bouncers to protect innocent customers from scum intent on removing your face for “looking at me funny, like”.Now the Police have even invented CCTV camera vans, to replace a van full of the SPG. They monitor and record. They do not PREVENT crime,perhaps help.

Theft – When was the last time you were abroad in Europe and spotted vans with padlocks welded to the back doors? What is the German for “no tools are left in this van overnight” to prevent the casual theft of a tradesman's tools? How many homes in this country are paying hard earned cash to be hooked up to instant alarm response centres? How often do you see iron bars on the inside of houses and flat windows. How many cars need to have extra security clamps or devices to stop them simply being stolen? Theft is at epidemic proportions, so the government decides to simply fine shoplifters or give them a caution,and police now must not be called unless theft is over £75. Let me run that past you again. You are now only FINED for shoplifting. Amazing Beyond belief.

All of the above is low level crime. It affects ordinary people every single day of their lives. Every day brings a new challenge of some sort or other to keep hold of your goods, property and loved ones. Whether it’s worrying whether you forgot to lock the back door, and expecting to come home to a ransacked house with a fresh turd on the carpet. Or wondering whether that bloke sitting opposite you in the pub is going to ram a glass in your face.

We know who the perpetrators are, we can spot them at 100 yards. Yet we do nothing, except spend more time and effort to protect our individual selves from their efforts to murder, rob and steal. By buying personal CCTV, hiding our mobile phones, welding our cars to the ground, installing floodlights in our gardens or building gated housing complexes (virtual prisons for the well behaved) to live in.

So why aren’t we building the prisons we need to put the filth and detritus who are taking away our rights to live without fear away? Why are we letting dangerous people out of secure accommodation to roam among us? Why are we letting the Police monitor the situation instead of DEALING with the situation?

The Government will NEVER build more prisons as to do so is to admit that their carefully architected systems simply do not work. Their social engineering experiments have caused the premature death of thousands of innocents, misery for millions and a cost of BILLIONS.

Tony, you idiot, give that tosser Charles Clarke his marching orders, build enough prison places for the 100,000 who cause utter chaos and terror.And give the b@st@rds a hard time while inside, and get your personal police force to get out there and round the b@st@rds up. 59,990,000 people would simply say a big thank you.

Some stores in a Rotterdam shopping mall got robbed so often and lost so much income over this they decided to build a holding area in their shops. Some kind of locked room in which the apprehended shoplifter had to wait for the police to (reluctantly) arrive. They thought they found a legal loophole to do so. The first one to get caught found himself a high flying ‘social’ lawyer and sued for damages. He suffered ‘severe psychological trauma’ whilst in the room. (He had a list of previous convictions as long as a roll of toilet paper). The store owner got no support from the DA and no support from politics and had to abandon the whole thing.

A colleague’s father in law had a repair business for Samsonite luggage, he handled all the warranty issues for The Netherlands. Late at night he found 2 scumbags breaking into his van and rushed outside with a baseball bat. One flew but he hit the other one on the kneecaps, shattering one. Suffice to say that one didn’t try to get away anymore. As the police arrived he got arrested on the spot because the scumbag pressed charges. Excessive violence! He had to pay a lawyer out of his own pocket (the other one got a state appointed lawyer) and was sentenced a heavy fine. This is the world we live in guys!

That's a bunch of Someone is robbing you and you can't hit them with a bat? This is a case of the law protecting the criminal. If you get your ass whipped commiting a crime, TOO FEKING BAD.

Yes, it seems that all you can do is to raise you voice and say: "I say dear fellow, stop that at once or I'll pull out my handkerchief!".

And even then you’ll have to watch out for prosecution. The dear fellow has had long life bad dreams about handkerchiefs and that will scar his sensitive little soul.

Thats the trouble today especially now in the UK there is no real deterrent for crime.Places like one of my favourite places Singapore have very little crime,Why because if they get caught they will be punished.And after a good caning,they don't seem to come back for seconds,unless you are very kinky or a masochist.
