Of Harrowing Statistics. And People’s Indifference

R.F. Wilson writes: Here are some harrowing statistics for you: in the past 12 months in Britain 174 small children have been killed by their parents or carers, or died in accidents while left all to themselves. And do not kid yourself that the ones who died at home had a quick death. Remember Baby P, Peter Connolly, a sweet looking toddler who was tortured, I have no other word for it, by his disgusting mother, her scumbag live-in boyfriend and their lowlife lodger? Well, the beatings lasted for several months, even though the social services had visited the place about 60 times they managed to miss the approaching tragedy. But consider this as well: if you have 174 deaths of small children that, in turn, implies that there are at least a hundred times that number of children who are at risk... 

Of Recklessness And Bravery: Two Things That Often Get Confused

Thomas Mathew writes: I have read recently about a man who had chased a couple of armed robbers down the street and got shot and nearly died from his wounds. The two thugs had just robbed a betting shop and were getting away. And that is when this have-a-go-hero decided to, well, be a-have-a-go-hero. And nearly paid for that with his life.He was not the fist and he would not be the last person to demonstrate total lack of judgement when confronting violent criminals. We hear stories like that all the time. I still remember the fuss the newspapers in Britain made last year about an 84-year old pensioner, who had foiled an attempted raid on a jewellery store in London by two thugs wearing balaclavas. As they were trying to smash the shop window with their sledgehammers, the pensioner walked up... 

Let’s Be Cynical: Let’s Ask Some Cynical Questions About People’s Suffering

I would like to ask all those people in Britain who write passionate letters to newspapers and send emails and texts to TV news channels, expressing shock and horror at the death of innocent children and civilians in conflicts around the world: how about victims of violence and neglect closer to home? How about four children a week dying of abuse and domestic violence in Britain, as was revealed recently? And how about 25,000 pensioners in Britain dying each winter because they cannot afford to switch the heating on? Or what about the old people, who are going to die this coming winter? How about demanding justice for them? Now, I do not see angry protesters in Britain putting pressure on the government to take drastic measures to protect small children, dying in their homes of abuse, or pensioners,... 

The Fuss Around The G20 Protests Is Getting Absurd. Violence On The Streets Has To Be Contained

Thomas Mathew writes: I never thought I would say this but I am actually on the side of the police in this whole scandal surrounding the supposed ‘exessive use of force’ during the G20 protests in London in April. Now we hear that some policemen might face charges for being too rough with the demonstrators. Do not get me wrong, I am in no way condoning any unprovoked use of force against peaceful protesters. But there is no way I am going to buy all this rubbish about ‘law abiding’ demonstrators getting roughed up for no apparent reason by police during the G20 summit protests. You need to see the footage to realise that some of the people who came to the City on April 1 were intent on causing trouble. You do not wear masks and balaclavas and bring stones and bottles... 

Open Letter To All The People Who Play Games On The Internet. And PC Games Generally

All of you people – boys and girls, men and women, who play games on the internet and PC games generally for hours every day: get a life! Stop wasting your time. Because time is money. Big money. Because if you would have spent the time you’ve wasted on all those stupid PC games on something worthwhile, like getting a new qualification, or learning a foreign language or reading a good book, you would have been able to earn more money. But that is not all. Some people, who get hooked on the virtual world of PC games, start to lead their lives as if they are themselves living in a virtual reality. They get weird  names for themselves, talk in a strange way, experience random fits of rage and even become aggressive and violent. Because PC games mostly generate bad vibes and bad vibes... 

Parents Beware: There’s A War Being Waged Against Your Kids!

I call upon all parents to wake up: beware, THEY are turning your children into sexed up semi-literate shopaholics, hooked on junk food, fizzy drinks, violent films and PC games. Yes, that is what their game is and you’d better do something about it before it is too late. You are probably wondering who I mean by ‘they’? Well, let me tell you about them: they are everywhere and they target your kids from the earliest age possible. They are cunning and manipulative, they pretend that they mean well, but most importantly – they bank on you not to really show too much interest in your children. Because parents who care about their kids – and I exclude here those slobs who take no notice of their offspring once they are born – pose the greatest of dangers to them... 

Riots In Moldova: Could Political Violence Spread Throughout Eastern Europe?

Martin McCauley writes: Moldova is in turmoil: political violence has erupted in the poorest country in Europe, a former republic of the Soviet Union.After the communists won the parliamentary election on April 5 the three opposition liberal parties stated they would not recognise the results. They offered no concrete evidence of ballot rigging or fraud but claimed that the communists have won exactly the right number of seats – 61 – to keep them in power. International observers, though, have said that the elections were conducted fairly. The goal of the liberal opposition parties was to force a rerun of the elections. The called for demonstrations on April 6 but quickly lost control of the crowds. Their incendiary rhetoric quickly led to an assault on the presidential palace and... 

Stupidity Watch: We Single Out A London Bus Driver For His Recklessness

Thomas Mathew writes: Today we are singling out the stupidity of one London bus driver, who risked the lives of several dozen of his passengers, just because he decided to be a ‘hero’. The incident happened a couple of days ago, late in the evening, on one of the routes in South London that is gradually turning into a war zone. As the red double-decker pulled away from a bus stop two thugs with knives approached the driver and demanded that he gives them the contents of his cash box. Considering that most passengers these days use travel cards and only a handful of people pay cash, we can safely assume that there was probably not much money in the box. But the driver of the double-decker, travelling at high speed, decided to put up a fight and save his company around twenty or thirty... 

Why Is Violence On The Rise In The World? Because It Brings Results

Martin McCauley writes: The terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore have shocked the world. Lahore is not known for its radicalism. In fact, it is one of the most liberal cities in Pakistan. The terrorists must have come from some other part of the country. The fourteen men involved in the attack were well trained, better coordinated, better armed than the Pakistani police and provisioned with food and water in case of a siege. It was a well-planned military operation. Such an exploit required lots of cash. Where did this money come from? Pakistan used to be a peaceful state. True, there was conflict over Kashmir. When the British were negotiating independence for India and Pakistan, they could not decide if Kashmir should become part of India or Pakistan. They simply walked... 

The Greek Protesters Should Be Dealt With Ruthlessly. They Are Nothing More Than Troublemakers

Let me tell you something about these ‘angry protesters’ in  Greece, who are still causing chaos and mayhem, pretending to be infuriated by the death of a teenager nine days ago, shot during an incident in which a mob had attacked a police patrol in a rough district of Athens. These ‘protesters’ are led and guided by groups of professional troublemakers, thugs and criminals of all sorts, who use the situation to their advantage and who, in turn, are encouraged by unscrupulous politicians, radical trade unionists and fringe political movements with their vile social agendas. Believe me, behind any violent popular uprising there are always extremist groups, who are bent on creating anarchy and bringing down the government because it suits their aims and because they thrive on...
