The Talking Clock: And now they have a useful idiot who proposes scrapping jury trials...

"The laws of England are the birthright of the people thereof; and all the kings and queens, who shall ascend the throne of this realm, ought to administer the government of the same according to the said laws; and all their officers and ministers ought to serve them respectively, according to the same."
Act of Settlement, 1700/01

"And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any
jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm."

And now they have a useful idiot who proposes scrapping jury trials...

I have just discovered, via the BBC, that we have someone paid for whatever she does under the remit of her job title: "Commissioner for Victims of Crime".

We have a one of those do we? That's nice.

Except it is not nice.

Only, Louise Casey - for it is she (apparently) who is the "Commissioner for Victims of Crime" - has gone and given out the useful idiot message.

Yup... utterly clueless about the constitution and Britain's role as a standard bearer for justice over the last eight hundred years, Casey is proposing the end of trial by jury for "lesser crimes".

Of course, the suggestion is wrapped up in a leftist "think of the poor victims" packaging. But the end-game of the proposal would be a totalitarian police state - the orgasmic pipedream of socialists and other assorted leftists.

I hate these people. I really do. And hatred isn't good. But they honestly make me sick.

Thankfully, the BBC had some counselling on hand for me with a quote from Isabella Sankey of Liberty.

Sankey explains: "Ms Casey was a political appointment of the last government and has a long record of hostility to Britain's fair trial traditions."

A political appointment of the last government?

That explains it all.

And Casey can f*** right off. No, that wasn't eloquent. I'm starting to lose the patience to bother thinking of polite words for these people.

Now you're seeing the bigger picture. I no longer use asterisks to cut up expletives. They are there for a reason to express anger and outrage and hence why I leave them, naked as they are for all to see. I hope it offends because it's about time society was offended, by the offence of being offended! Fuck political correctness, socialism and liberalism.

You are of course right. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but there's no good intention here for outcome is already known. It is merely a stepping stone in order to get there faster.

Britain used to be the bastion of liberty and integrity, that was until is was subverted by you know who. What can change this? Well a waking up by the majority. If they choose to remain asleep there will be nothing they can do to force back the police state. They have the chance today to do so, while it is still a fledgling, but they won't for they do not want to offend. Pathetic.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
