It can be used in emergencies when the recipients blood group is unknown and also during operations (mainly for unborn children) and to supplement shortages of other blood groups.<br /><br />They reckon that as only 7% of the people in the UK have O neg blood group, they need other O Neg donors to come forward. But even if your not O neg, they still need and want your blood donations!<br /><br />Now I wouldn't usually mention that I am a Blood Donor, as its my business and no-one elses, however, for whatever reason they are suffering shortages of all groups. So if you were or fancy the idea of being a Blood Donor. Please, Please contact them on the above link and help make a difference!<br /><br />The procedure really is painless and benefits the whole of the UK's NHS, who without these donation's would struggle to meet demands.<br /><br />My reasons for giving are twofold, one is to pay back to the system for saving my mums life, when I was about 6 years old, she received about 12 units of blood whilst hemorrhaging after childbirth and without those past blood donors she would be dead!<br /><br />Secondly, I like the idea of helping, I am in no way rich or well off so cannot really afford to donate a lot of money. All I have is my blood and I give it freely and as often as I can, as my way of helping those who need it and as I have already said to pay back a debt of gratitude for my mothers life.<br /><br />To those donors go my heartfelt thanks and I and my siblings are forever in your debt, THANK YOU who ever you are!<br /><br />So come on people PLEASE get to your doctors, check out your blood group and get donating, I promise its not painful at all, its slightly daunting the first time but the staff are fantastic and will help and advice in anyway they can.<br /><br />Just by giving your blood you can and will make a difference!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-81591723485960176042008-11-06T10:48:00.002+00:002008-11-06T11:34:11.806+00:00Pet's...Years ago, my grandmother had a Poodle, which was a really fucking neurotic dog! She and my grandfather were both shit scared of the bugger. It's name was Pepe, suppose that's enough reason for any dog to be neurotic, but what the hey.<br /><br />Anyhow, this dog, kind of ruled the roost, anything on the floor was the dogs, unless you could entice the bugger into another room you dare not pick anything up.<br /><br />As they lived on the Fylde coast, we as kids would go for one week of the summer holidays, giving mum and dad a break, as well as saving them monies on family hols. For some reason all six of us went one year, mum, dad, two lads and two girls.<br /><br />We had all at some point managed to escape being bitten by Pepe, but from day one the mutt resented our presence in his domain. I dropped a 10 pence piece bent to pick it up and the dog had my ring finger in its sharp teeth. (I still have the scars 30+ years later)<br /><br />Two days later it had my little brother's arm when he bent to pick up a tennis ball, no punishment was given to the dog other than shouting at it, and kids being kids, we hated the fucking dog with a vengeance, although I stress we did not wind the mutt up in anyway at all. We, as kids do tended to stay clear of the bugger.<br /><br />The final straw came as my youngest sister, was about 9 months old, unable to walk, sat in one of those baby strollers. We were eating butties in the dining room, (grandma was posh she had a proper dining room) whilst Leeanne, the youngest member of the family was in her stroller, the ones with the little table on the front.<br /><br />The dog for no reason that we can work out, decided to bite Leeanne, narrowly missing her eye and causing a severe cut to her eyebrow, and as I assume most people know, babies bleed a lot so there were copious amount of claret everywhere.<br /><br />This was the final straw for my dad, who bundled all the kids into the car with my mother, went back into the bungalow and beat the shit out of the dog, to our immense pleasure we could hear the yelps from the car.<br /><br />From then on no-one ever had a problem with the dog biting anyone again. My grandad on his return was told the tale and merely commented thank god, its about time that little bugger had a good hiding. When my dad asked what he did if the dog bit him, my grandad replied give the bugger half a crown to let go!<br /><br />In hindsight I can see the fault lay with my grandparents over the dogs behaviour, but had it been me, the fucker would have been killed after the first time!<br /><br />My first fall out with my parents in law was caused by a cat, the cat is called Toby, and again rules the roost. I had been stroking the cat, which he seemed OK with, eyes closed, purring etc, when without warning he lashed out cutting my finger with his claws. Then the little bugger legged it, the PiL's then said that he was fond of bloodsports and that they were always careful and wary of his moods! I said then, well the bugger had better be wary of me then, as the next time he draws blood from me, he will have either a headache from the punch to the head or arse ache from the boot to his arse! The mood in the room dropped by 10 degrees, but I did not apologise.<br /><br />If people accept this behaviour from their pets, then that helps them to accept bad behaviour from other humans. Surely it isn't to much for a pet to be taught from day one not to bite or scratch?LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-64617378751569088612008-10-22T18:47:00.002+01:002008-10-22T19:31:26.068+01:00Nostradamus eat your heart out ....The last few months have been rather intense, for every one on this little island that we call home. Many changes are taking place, some forced upon us and others way beyond our scope to change.<br /><br />Is the UK finished? No I don't think so, I like to believe that eventually my fellow English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish brethren will finally wake up and realise what is happening to our once great nation.<br /><br />I believe that the Labour Party after losing the next election will exist only as a minor party much like the Lib Dems do now. The Lib Dems will raise their ballgame and take the place as the second party, leaving the way for either UKIP or the BNP to take the fight to labour for the remaining votes.<br /><br />I believe that the next five years will be about British recognition of what has gone on before, we will as a nation revisit our triumphs and our spectacular own goals. The EU will be left to sail without British money, as we learn to draw in our horns, and start to look after our own once again. This will not be without rancour and conflict, as everyone knows the EU is willing to fight for its own survival, but ultimately we will prevail!<br /><br />Multiculturalism will remain for some time, but once the message gets through that we as a people cannot be changed by subterfuge, nor by coercion, the end game will come. We the indigenous population will still welcome other peoples and other religions, but without the fear of offending them that was foisted onto us by the PC brigade.<br /><br />Some small repatriation with regards to the Iraq war, which we were taken into illegally, will have to be made, but Bliar and Brown in the dock will be a lovely sight to see!<br /><br />I am saddened by the knowledge that the UK banks will not change their ways, and they will have to be reigned in once again, and this time taught a real lesson.<br /><br />The same must be said of our MP's, all of whom should be horsewhipped and ran naked through the streets, they need an abject lesson in who they serve, and what they can and cannot do.<br /><br />The message that Man Made Global Warming was and is a smoke screen for a far greater menace stalking this world, will finally be released to a stunned public!<br /><br />At the end we will all see the more things change the more they stay the same.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-56413360686179796232008-10-21T22:25:00.003+01:002008-10-21T22:33:58.914+01:00New Blog Look....Oooerrrr kind of weird, at first, this new look.

No thanks...Seems some councillors have started to see sense, not all of them of course, but one in particular springs to mind.<br /><br />Step forward Mr Tony Austin a Tory councillor from Canterbury. Who upon the Executive Committee receiving "guidelines" from the Dept of Culture, Media and Sport, which suggested Canterbury fly the EU flag 19 times per year, made the comment that "As many council services were contracted out, it would cost about £30.00 per time to fly the EU flag in various locations throughout the city". He also stated "To be honest I'm not that happy about flying it at all. I am sceptical about the advantages of being in Europe."<br /><br />The council voted just to fly the EU flag on Europe day 9th May!<br /><br />Well well even the councillors are learning that people just don't want the EU.<br /><br />Well done the Exec Committee of Canterbury City Council, at the next vote try and get a not fly at all motion!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-69439669137857031362008-08-15T18:25:00.002+01:002008-08-15T18:38:28.789+01:00Bin Battle II ....Following on from a recent post, now residents in <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/humber/7564076.stm">Huddersfield</a> have taken up t' gauntlet with the local refuse collection company.<br /><br />After a recent strike by the bin men when no refuse was collected from their street, the residents in a "spur of the moment" action, formed a human ring round the refuse truck after the bin operatives refused to take the old rubbish. The rubbish had been in situ since the strike, and had not been collected and the binmen were going to leave about eight sacks of rubbish, until the residents put a stop to their getaway.<br /><br />It is disheartening for normal council tax payer to be forced into this sort of action, just to get services that they are paying and have paid for. The councils line given by an un-named spokesman, said "This minor incident was quickly resolved in line with what we would expect of our collection crews. "<br />"All the refuse was collected. We always respond to any calls we receive from householders."<br /><br />This blatantly is not true otherwise why were these residents forced to take matters into their own hands. The councils action for me is akin to the governments policy of "move along there, nothing to see".<br /><br />Well done the residents of Huddersfield, the fight back just might be starting in earnest.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-88514154313062925502008-08-12T10:15:00.004+01:002008-08-12T10:46:46.848+01:00Were there's muck there's brass!!!Ever like me wondered with the rise in prices of recycled materials, such as cardboard, paper, glass and metals, that our councils aren't raking in millions of pounds in profits?<br /><br />Well apparently the answer is because they have entered into contracts with recycling companies, all well and good you say, but the kicker is that some of these contracts are for 25 years in length!<br /><br />Now I understand that councils have to go for what is achievable, without putting to much of a drain on the public purse, but I ask you, 25 year contracts, which idiot signed off on these contracts. Don't get me wrong I understand that some of these companies need to guarantee an income, but surely common sense would dictate that contracts should be for a few years and then up for renewal!<br /><br />If one parliament cannot tie the following parliament, surely this must be true of the councils. One Council should not be able to bind its successors, so the contracts should be able to be renegotiated, at a more favourable rate than at present for the councils concerned.<br /><br />In lancashire the county council have a metal collecting service for all lancashire residents, you phone the contact number, they then come and pick up free of charge any metal waste. I used this service recently when getting rid of an old filing cabinet. The company was council owned and arrived within the stated timescale. I asked the operator of the vehicle how they (the council) were able to do it for free and was told, that the rise in price for scrap had shot up from £80.00 per tonne to over £200.00. Which made it worthwhile for the council to do its own metal collection and also to do it for free.<br /><br />Now if I am honest I really don't expect Lancashire County Council to continue the service for free ad infinitum, but at least they are making inroads in providing a free service that earns much more than it costs to run.<br /><br />I admit I had thought no more about it until an article in the Express today (article not available online) reminded me, but it does go to show that some councils do try to do their bit.<br /><br />Now can only hope that the profits made will go into reducing the Council Tax bills, but I won't hold my breath.<br /><br />But it would be interesting to find out how much companies who collect the recycling on the councils behalf are actually making out of all this rubbish!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-62075253316916584342008-08-11T13:46:00.005+01:002008-08-11T14:00:50.643+01:00Bin battle won? So onto the war...In today's Express, a piece about "bin" victor <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/56302/Victory-in-the-battle-to-be-a-two-bin-family">Roger Houlker</a>, a 56 year old solicitor from Congleton in Cheshire caught my eye.<br /><br />It seems that the solicitor took his local council to the Local Government ombudsman, for their failure to either issue his family with a second wheelie bin, or collect extra bags of rubbish he left beside his full bin.<br /><br />The ombudsman Anne Seex, ruled in his favour and found the council guilty of "maladministration with injustice", she also voiced her concerns that though the council had the right to limit the number of bins it issued, she had reservations about whether the councils binmen could refuse to take extra bags.<br /><br />Could it be at last we are seeing a resurgence of common sense in councils dealings with its customers, ie, the taxpayers? For far too long it appears that all councils actions have been contrary to what the taxpayers wanted or needed or even expected.<br /><br />One small battle won in the war of the bins, which council will be next to fall!<br /><br />Thank you Mr Houlker for refusing to lie down and take the proverbial rogering that councils wish to inflict on us all, well done that man!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-13776796226236909382008-08-07T10:47:00.004+01:002008-08-07T12:23:23.812+01:00Global WarmingNow I class myself as a man made global warming sceptic, I am not stupid enough to state categorically that there is no such thing as climate change, as quite obviously there is, the seasons in the UK, spring summer, autumn and winter. These seasons show me that there are seasonal climate changes, therefore I must accept that the climate does change.<br /><br />I was also taught at school about the ice ages that the planet we all inhabit has gone through over past millenia, thereby showing that the planets climate as a whole is constantly evolving. Through geological studies we know that at some times in the past the UK has been under ice, under the sea, a desert and had a tropical climate. So more proof, were it needed, that the worlds climate does indeed change.<br /><br />What I am unsure about is the "man made" tag that has been added on, which states that man has and is continuing to affect the worlds climate.<br /><br />Now being 40+ years of age, I can just about remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smog">smog</a> in Lancashire. Smog being a mix of smoke and fog, from which due to the heavy industries in the North West we suffered along with other industrial areas in the UK. In order to rid the areas of this problem the powers that be, made whole towns and cities smokeless zones. This improvement started with the Clean Air Act in the late 50's, which succeeded over a period of time in getting rid of the problem. We now do not have the problem of smog.<br /><br />That is not to say that the air quality is as good as it could be, but shows that improvements can be made which benefit all but which don't cost the earth.<br /><br />As an aside, the local pub that I frequent had installed prior to the smoking ban, a top of the range air cleaning system, which when tested with smokers on site, cleaned the air so well that you noticed a marked drop in air quality when going outside.<br /><br />Anyway, I can accept that as with the smog problem, man may cause some problems in the atmosphere. What I find hard to believe is that they can tie it down to one specific gas, namely CO2.<br /><br />At school I was taught that all living animals breath in oxygen and exhale CO2, the only life on the planet that did it differently was plant life, they absorb by various means the CO2 and as a by-product give off oxygen in the process.<br /><br />So I am informed by the BBC, the government, the greens and the IPCC that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, that its production is increasing the warmth of the planet, and promising dire consequences if mankind does not seriously cut its CO2 production!<br /><br />Notwithstanding that the UK on average produces about 2% of the worlds total of CO2 gases, which means should we stop producing any CO2 at all, the benefit to the planet would be negligable! Plus given the rise in India and China and their CO2 production any gains made, would be cancelled out within months if not weeks!<br /><br />Now correct me if I am wrong but these same august bodies promised in the 70's that the earth was cooling down and that we were heading into a minor ice age? Yet 30+ years later and its exactly the opposite! Not very consistent are they, however they do remind me off the catholic church and its assertion that the earth was the centre of the universe, they even put under house arrest one <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei">poor bloke</a> for daring to question this belief!<br /><br />If the threat of man made global warming was and is so serious, then why the fuck are people like Al Gore, the UK's Prime Minister and his cabinet, the USA's President and all the worlds leaders so bloody fond of flying around the planet?<br /><br />These days of Broadband, Video links etc, they don't really need to set foot out of their respective countries. Or could it be more simply, that as with communism, all are equal, but some more equal than others.<br /><br />Ultimately as far as I am concerned they have not proved their case, and whilst we have world leaders telling me "to do as I say, not as I do", I shall remain a sceptic and as such am more than willing to wear the badge of a man made climate change heretic.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-18510344016696924672008-08-04T15:27:00.002+01:002008-08-04T15:45:03.466+01:00Winds of ChangeThe times we are told are changing, maybe its true, it certainly seems that as Incapability Brown has fewer followers than he had, and even less clout, as Millibrat set out his vision of the NewNu Labour future that he wanted to see.<br /><br />Not much on substance, and just more tired old rejigs of the mantra, we will change etc etc, but it shows that all is definitely not well in the Brown world of politics.<br /><br />The newspapers and MSM are all asking will he go or will he be pushed screaming out of an office, that he has shown he is unable master nor manage. The MSM have finally tumbled to that which we mere mortals have known for some time that Brown wasn't right, the shifty looks (some say creepy) the nail biting, the control freakery and the obvious deficiency in intelligence and intellect. He was never ever going to be the showman that Blair was, all the silly fucker had to do was not be outed, keep his head down and all might have been alright.<br /><br />His indecision about the possibility of an election sparked notice that here was a bottler, and he started to look more and more shifty, the signing of the Lisbon Treaty late and behind closed doors without witnesses showed us his shame and his knowledge of that shame proving he knew we didn't want it, yet went ahead.<br /><br />He and his cohorts deserve the kicking they are going to receive at the hands of the electorate come polling day, but for me that is much to lenient, the members of the labour party should all be strung up as a warning to the tories and all other "career politicians" to behave or they will be next!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-80976896075222675722008-06-29T03:06:00.003+01:002008-06-29T04:07:26.931+01:00EU Laws... do we have to follow them?Now don't get me wrong I can see the reason for some, but not all our laws.<br /><br />But given that the EU, is ignoring one of its own Laws, that the Lisbon Treaty has to be ratified by all 27 countries to come into effect. Should we obey the Laws made by the EU, after all if they cannot follow their own regulations, why the fuck should we?<br /><br />We know that the Irish (god love them, and we should thank them) rejected the Treaty, we also know that the Political Shits that run the EU, have stated that its business as usual and ordered that ratification continues in all the other countries.<br /><br />We know that No mandate Brown, the Scottish myopic bottler, has rushed through the British ratification, even knowing that some 80% of the population want a referendum on the EU.<br /><br />Most of the Irish I have spoken to state that as they couldn't understand what the treaty meant because it was incomprehensible, they voted No because to vote Yes, without knowing exactly what they would be voting yes for, was stupid and a risk they were not willing to take!<br /><br />They understood enough to know if they got the No vote wrong, they could/would get another opportunity to change it, however if they voted Yes whilst not fully understanding what they were signing away, they would not ever get or be given another opportunity!<br /><br />Some of the EU high ranking people have stated that it is an affront that Ireland a country that represents only 0.7% of the 490 million European peoples, could hold up ratification, that such a small country could impose its will on 490 million people!<br /><br />Now the EU commissioners, the EU civil service and all the political shits from all the EU countries DO NOT Make up such a large number as the Irish people, so why should they who must represent less than 0.01% of the 490 million people, decide what is best for us all?<br /><br />This being the case, just who the fuck are they and why should I follow their laws, whether rubber stamped by our traitorous government or not, I don't believe I have any reason to follow the EU rules, I never signed up, was never asked, and I believe its absolutely no form of democracy at all.<br /><br />After all how can an EU that is supposed to be democratic, refuse its citizens the right to a referendum on the EU's existence, could it be they know full well that the EU would be given a resounding NO! Just as the french the Dutch and now the Irish have done!!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-84410915686305255922008-06-25T08:23:00.002+01:002008-06-25T09:01:34.262+01:00Changing the GoalPosts once again...Our extremely illiberal Justice Secretary, Jack Straw is asking the tory party to agree to new laws which would allow "anonymous evidence" to be permitted in court after the collapse of a trail due to a Law Lords ruling that such evidence is inadmissible..<br /><br />Once again we are seeing an attack on common law, which is and has been the base for our legal system for centuries. In order to stop the state being able to stitch people up on trumped up charges, we have the right to face our accusers, to face them in court, and to question them.<br /><br />Any new knee jerk laws, would once again be ill used by the police and the CPS, because as we have seen time after time, once given these powers for different reasons, they use them without any checks or balances.

I believe it unfair to ask what any of us were doing 13 years ago, and even more foolish to expect us to remember.<br /><br />Who under direct questioning from a QC or barrister, could fail look anything other than shifty and suspect, just for not really knowing or recalling fully an event that took place years ago.<br /><br />John I hope that the gods are with you and once again you prevail, unfortunately in this day and age, mud sticks, and many will have already convicted you believing that there is no smoke without fire!<br /><br />But I do find it rather odd that yet again, its either the Police or the CPS, who appear to have leaked the story to the press, permitting the media to hold a kangaroo court in the papers.

Thats extra monies we are being forced to pay to the revenues offices, money we can ill afford to waste in this harsh financial climate.<br /><br />So please applaud the truckers, because if they win, we all benefit!

They do not like what their town has become and rather than face ridicule and being slighted as racist, they have done what they wanted to do, given you a pasting!<br /><br /><br /><br />The people of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Crewe</span> have listened to your excuse that immigration is good for our economy, but towns like these have a massive drain on the local infrastructure and services, that the supposed £6 billion benefit immigration provides to the economy, simply does not cover costs incurred by these councils and service providers.<br /><br /><br /><br />They see low paid jobs going to the poles and other EU immigrants, they walk through their own town, and hear foreign tongues that have no idea about the "English culture",you know the culture that your party wants to get rid of, because your embarrassed and you hate it!<br /><br /><br /><br />Then there is the manifesto promise on a referendum that you broke, not for one minute did you understand that, the Labour strongholds in the North (the supposed backbone of the Labour party), have bloody good memories and can spot a liar a mile off, and they will in time get rid of you and your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">scottish</span> mafia currently in charge.

Has our progress throughout the years finally come so far that we are being dragged back into the past, when lawlessness was rife, and harm could come to any who strayed too far from the safety of their homes?<br /><br />Because for those of us that live in inner cities and large towns, we are being denied the freedom of movement at night, with gangs of feral youths, of which the supposed fairer sex, are increasingly making larger numbers. Combined with their extreme violence that far outweighs the male members of these gangs.<br /><br />Two weeks ago, as is my want, I went to the local hostelry for refreshment, as is usual on a friday night. An extremely pleasant evening was spent in good company, and a fair few pints were quaffed. At the end of the evening we leave en-masse and head for the bus stop, to catch the last bus back to our homes. This evening however things were to change, whilst waiting for the bus, a couple of teen girls swaggered by, and seeing us at the bus shelter, decided to have a laugh at our expense.<br /><br />Now maybe a couple of the lads were silly, after all it seems ill-advised to actually try to communicate with these neanderthal dunderheads, and once the harridans from hell realised that whilst certainly we were a wee bit merry, our intelligence far exceeded their own, and in the ensuing "game of wordsmiths" they were severely out classed.<br /><br />Now as a witness to these word fisticuffs, I had assumed it was just idle banter and the girls would walk away, but no! They took umbrage that we as mere middle aged men had the cheek, gall and sheer audacity, to show them up for fools.<br /><br />They then screamed "peedo" at the lads who had talked to them, and before we knew it we were surrounded by about 15 to 20 baying youths of both sexes, up to the bus arriving and us starting to alight, it was all foul mouths and gesturing from them, until the last three got on the bus at which point the youths attacked, hitting a couple of the blokes. For no other reason than they were goaded into it by the girls of the gang.<br /><br />They did attempt to slow or stop the bus, by running in front of it, but the driver who seemed to be an old hand at this game of chicken, just put his foot down and was heard by all near him to say " I don't do brakes for scum", which gained him some applause.<br /><br />Have things really changed that much, has family life, education and society slumped to such depths, that these gangs really are in charge of our streets in the evening?LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-82090361445864867872008-05-06T13:10:00.002+01:002008-05-06T13:31:28.313+01:00All Politicians are scumbags...Hello diary, glad your still here when I feel the need to let of steam!<br /><br />Life has a habit of grabbing you by the goolies when you least expect it, from simple building work, that should have taken weeks, to have extended to months. Plus one tradesman being chased to come and rectify his mistakes, which although minor do cause inconvenience, plus gets me a constant ear bashing from the missis! Cause as we all know its always our fault!<br /><br />In my absence from actually writing down my thoughts and perceptions of our illustrious leaders and their lying shenanigans, loads has happened.<br /><br />Liebour has been well and truly creamed in the local elections, losing well over 400 councillors their seats, and control of some councils...... as they say everything comes to he who waits.....mmmm wonder when I'll get to see milibrat and brown being pulled through with a christmas tree... ah well I live in hope.<br /><br />Yet Mr Brown and his associated criminals in the Liebour party, will not see or maybe refuse to accept, that the majority of people have finally found out, what some of us new a while back! That they are nothing other than control freaks, who lie, cheat and steal our hard earned taxes to feather their own nests. They refuse to believe that people can now see through them, that we have had as a nation far too many, new starts, new deals, working groups, fact finding parties, ad nausiem! that boiled down to absolutely sweet fuck all, it hasn't worked and given the government can't even organise its own parties finances, why the fuck should we trust them with ours?<br /><br />I actually enjoyed watching them squirm in the limelight of the media, as they and their policies were laid bare, the poor darlings looked shell shocked!

During the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Martyrs">Metric Martyrs </a>fight back, Justice Laws, decreed that the Bill of Rights was sacrosanct and could never be taken away.<br /><br />With this in mind, does the legislation in place that bans owning hand guns, have any legality?<br /><br />With the rising amount of serious crime and the proof that criminals have and will use guns at even the slightest provocation, does this not suggest it is about time that we as people started to look to our own defence and protection?<br /><br />How many friends and neighbours do you personally know, that keep baseball bats or other weapons near the front door, just in case? I know of a couple of people that do and one of them is an ex copper!<br /><br />As someone who has served in HM Forces, and carried weapons and seen the damage that they can and do inflict. My first instinct was that they should all be banned, but as we have seen and continue to see, the banning of hand guns doesn't work! All it does is make it easier for the criminal to overpower their victims.<br /><br />Another point to ponder, is the Police Force, as it cannot do the job it was set up to do, ie. protect the citizens and bring to justice criminals, would we be correct in thinking that we are therefore entitled to defend ourselves? Does this not offer more proof that we should be able to arm ourselves?<br /><br />Without wishing to bring about a vigilante culture, I think its about time we took back our laws, after all they were made for us, hence the term common law. The law doesn't belong to the judges nor the solicitors, they can interpret it, but its our law handed down to us by those who fought and died for all our freedoms. The law doesn't belong to the political classes, they may make suggestions, they may legislate, but as one Parliament cannot be bound by another, so too, laws that are ill conceived can be repealed and changed and declared null and void.<br /><br />My mother has an idea or two about sex offenders, well more about their punishment and how it should be doled out. She suggests putting the convicted person in a room with about 20 unarmed women who's children have been abused for about 15 Min's. She reckons this would cure most of the offenders chances of re offending when the justice system releases them early. As she says with what is left of the offenders wedding tackle, (if anything) he will be unable to re-offend. Not too sure about what the Human Rights Act would say about it, but it is seriously biblical in its simplicity.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-43129332818215739042008-01-16T09:09:00.000+00:002008-01-16T09:24:35.214+00:00Happy New Year.....Well folks, its now officially 2008, and we are all wondering what this new year has in store for us.<br /><br />My apologies for lack of posts, but the gap for chrimbo was extended due to massive building projects, ok not so big really , but having bathroom ripped out and replaced, doors ripped out and windows replaced to me is major. Even more so when its all got to be paid for :-(<br />(Having read all the blurb etc, I am assured that end/start of year is the cheapest time to get work done, as everyone is suffering from lack of cash.)<br /><br />Anywho, the labour or should that be Liebour Party have had members caught lying and cheating, no surprise there then! Yet still refusing to resign, oh for the days of the Tories who at least had the decency to pack up and fuck off when all went wrong! (I don't mean I actually want them back in power, just that they seemed generally to be a little more honourable, if such a thing is possible with politico's)<br /><br />Our government of esteemed liars and charlatans are forcing through parliament the "reform treaty" and one could hazard a guess that it will be forced through no matter what, unless of course some fucker bombs parliament...... no wait that's November the fifth isn't it?<br /><br />Whilst there has been a lack of posting on my part I have as ever managed to keep up with all the blogs that I read, and please be assured that I do read you all, even when I don't comment.<br /><br />So onwards and ever onwards, the fight still remains, let us all join in making it hard for all the fuckwits in office and the so called opposition.<br /><br />Once again Happy New Year to one and all.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-86013105003388647532007-12-23T11:32:00.000+00:002007-12-23T11:54:16.383+00:00MP's want MORE MONEY?????Well its almost that time of year again when <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=504231&in_page_id=1770&ICO=NEWS&ICL=TOPART">MP's </a>tell us what they expect cash wise from we taxpayers. As ever we are being asked to fund above inflation pay rises for these parasites.<br /><br />Well if they can't pay the Police their full 2.5% (but devolved executives in Scotland and Wales can pay it?)then to my mind they shouldn't have the 10% increase they have requested.<br /><br />Now the only way I as a tax payer would be willing to fund this rise would be if they lost all of their expenses, and I mean all.<br /><br />The piece in the Mail makes the point that Gordo is against the increase, however now that the backbenchers are realising what a clot they put in charge (gordo the one eyed wanker) they are now coming to the conclusion that many of them will lose their seat's come the next general election. So they are trying to get as much money in the pension pot as possible, and they still expect us to believe that they are doing it for our benefit!<br /><br />Low and behold there is suggestion that the Tories have an agreement to back the backbenchers revolt against the one eyed wonder of wankistan!<br /><br />Me thinks hemp neckties and lamposts are creeping surely closer and closer!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-37025564384360124152007-12-21T11:16:00.000+00:002007-12-23T11:30:25.267+00:00Prostitution.....The Nulabour harridan <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/29058/Ministers-consider-prostitution-ban">Harriet Harman </a>has called for prostitution to be made illegal.<br /><br /><br /><br />When considering this subject I really do wish people would stop and actually think what this would mean, I try to be as dispassionate as possible and expect other to do the same.<br /><br /><br /><br />We are informed that historically its the oldest profession, since before biblical times prostitutes have plied their trade.<br /><br /><br /><br />Harriet makes use of the "sex worker trafficing" and "illegal international human trafficing" and that we need to stop sex being sold to stop the trafficing. With never a thought that, as we obviously have a market for "sex workers" and they can earn good money in the UK proves there is a need.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now which do you think will work, a complete ban, that drives sex workers underground, puts them further under the control of pimps and criminals? Or legalisation of brothels, run in the same vein as the ones in some American states or Germany.<br /><br /><br /><br />My opinion for what it is, draws me to the simple conclusion that legalisation is the only way to go!<br /><br /><br /><br />If people are being traded for work in the sex industry, then legalised brothels would stop the trade in unwilling workers. Monitored and policed the girls would be required to have frequent health checks, but more importantly would be safe.<br /><br /><br /><br />The premises could/would be out of town, avoiding the nimby's<br /><br />The areas would be policed and any wrong doings by clients cracked down on.<br /><br />The earnings would be taxable, giving revenue to the exchequer.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have not done any deep research, but from what I have read Germany's sexual offenses against womans rate is much less than the UK, (although trawling through there does seem to be some slight increase of offences commited by new Immigrants)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The criminal elements that then set up private brothels could be the ones the police and authorities target. With severe penalties for those who break the law.<br /><br />For those whom the idea seems abhorant, I understand as I wouldn't like my sister to be a prostitute, but where there is a need, and lets face it some people really need to be able to use the services, I would be willing to to permit prostitution.LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-12431762093344403252007-12-13T07:58:00.000+00:002007-12-13T09:06:43.367+00:00Housing...I am in a bit of a quandary here, I can see the reasoning for asking older folks who have had their kids grow up and leave the nest, to move to smaller properties. I can see that social housing is needed for families and that there isn't enough to go around.<br /><br />One could and indeed should say that this was the fault of successive governments, both Tory and labour, who have refused to let the councils use monies raised by the "Right to buy" scheme, to build newer council housing stocks.<br />Looking back it was obviously a mistake, on every ones part. Not only would it have eased the supply and demand, but it would have at the time given the building trade a boost it needed in a harsh climate. Which would have also given our tradesmen an ability to take on and train future plumbers, plasterers, carpenters and brickies.<br />So all in all a missed opportunity. Which has seen an increase in building tradesmen coming to the country from the EU, as we have not enough of our own tradesmen to meet our needs or demand.<br /><br />Allowing councils to build newer housing to replace stock sold, would have meant newer houses that met or came a damn site closer to the much vaunted "energy efficiency" requirements foisted upon us by the EU.<br /><br />I admit I took advantage of buying my council house, and over the next 10 years spent money on double glazing, cavity wall insulation, gas central heating, all to done to improve my families living conditions and comfort. So my little two bed roomed house that I bought for 21,950 in 1992 is now worth about 90,000. Unless I sell I haven't really made any money at all, although on paper I have. Please bear in mind that Blackpool house prices have risen however, ex council houses have not risen as much as other homes.<br /><br />So we have now a government minister telling the country, that people over accommodated in social housing stock will be moved to make the way for families who's need is greater. Notwithstanding that these people have made their homes, made friends and helped to make their communities. They will have their families, friends and relatives close by, some of the families that I know still have adult children at home at 23 and 24 years of age, simply because they cannot either afford buy their own home, nor afford the rent and other costs of running a home on the minimum wage.<br /><br />You see what nark's me is that Yvette Cooper the Housing minister, (who has been slated for some dodgy dealings with regards to her 2nd home that we the tax payers are paying for) has no idea of local communities, of their make up, or even how they work. She doesn't understand that over the years the people get to know each other, taking the kids to school, meeting in the Post office, the doctors, the local pubs and clubs. This is mainly because she has not lived and worked in a local community, when she goes home of an evening the door is closed to the rest of the world.<br />Other than her association with other politicians who also do not live in the real world, she has no idea how the other seventy five percent of the population live, she cannot get her head round the fact she is dealing with other human beings, who resent paying her and her husband their politicians salary and expenses, and guaranteed gold plated pensions.<br /><br />They resent someone who has not lived in their community telling the community that she is going to strip and rip a large proportion of its heart out. Lets face it this will only affect the working class and lower paid members of our society, you know the ones that Labour are supposed to be for!<br /><br />A proportion that has paid it's taxes, paid for the NHS, EU et al, and yet are to be moved to "the country" or to "smaller accommodation" to suit a political whim. To houses, god knows where, in who knows what state, to start again without friends and family. Talk about a potential death sentence hanging over people!<br /><br />In Liverpool communities have been decimated by the housing regeneration forced upon it by the then deputy PM Prescotts department, who have wasted countless millions buying up properties, that only needed renovating to make them into decent homes. They then pulled them down to make affordable housing that no one locally can afford, now how fucking clever is that?<br /><br />So whilst I can see that the housing is needed for families, I can also see the reason for these people refusing to leave their homes and communities that they helped to build.<br /><br />Answers? I just don't know, but I do think as ever with Labour it will all cost millions and end in fucking tears!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620698.post-41218047465965551552007-12-12T19:52:00.000+00:002007-12-12T19:56:10.805+00:00If this doesn't make you smile... your dead ....The Trouble With Outsourcing<br /><br />I was depressed last night,<br />so I called Lifeline.<br /><br />Got a call centre in the Middle East.<br />Told them I was suicidal.<br /><br />They got all excited and asked if I could fly a plane.<br /><br />**Hat tip the <a href="http://remittanceman.blogspot.com/">remittance man</a>** from whom I stole this!!LFB_UK *The Legend*http://www.blogger.com/profile/07348264440326933003noreply@blogger.com0
