This defies the logic of a six year old. Even children know the difference between right and wrong. This guy defended his home. If someone enters the door of my home to rob, rape or kill, they're in for a rude surprise. Danger to burglers indeed. You bet your mo fo ass! You can take that to the bank.

It was announced that the Metropolitan police will henceforth be saving their manpower for the three most important offences in the country: Murder, rape and hate crimes.

Not to be picky, but hate crimes is now one of the three most important crimes in Britian??

One, who defines hate crimes? The British people or the EU?

Two, What about little things like armed robbery, assault, kidnapping, bank robbery, treason and terrorist activities?

Oh, I forgot. The police are too busy sniffing the exhaust fumes of autos to see if the owners are guilty of tax evasion by using used cooking oil instead of state approved motor oils.

What a crock. Bring Tony over here, with pleasure. GB no longer deserves him, eccentric or not.

I told my wife last night that this next year is looking to be a dark one. There is a direct relationship between nonsense like this and the anti-war nuts here. Reason is absent.

How long before even rape is no longer considered worth a police investigation? We are rapidly heading in the direction of South Africa.

Note the extreme importance that the above statement puts on "hate crimes": in other words, thought crimes. The police are in fact, nothing more now than political police, enforcing unpopular laws against a hostile and helpless population, at the behest of distant and unresponsive elites, who care more for illegal immigrants and criminals than they do for their law abiding (but poorer) fellow countrymen.

This "hate crime" lunacy has gotten so bad, that British police actually are now sending undercover cops into restaurants to listen for people making racial remarks and other "hate speech" - by which, of course, they mean white people. Black, asian, or muslim hate speech is just fine and dandy. But if you are white and let slip a racial remark in Britain, it's off to jail for you (or, at any rate, off to court).

People who deny that we are headed towards a police state need to read stuff like this, and wake up and smell the coffee.

Of course they only mean first time burglars. The police have solved the chronic crime problem;

"British police have new anti-crime measure: letters asking criminals to behave"

If I lived in England, I would sleep better at night from this news </sarcasm>.

Actually, war is the perfect excuse for the eliminate of all of our rights, and always has been. Yes, a lot of the anti-war people are nuts, but that does not mean you should blindly follow Bush into a war - a war which has no defined objectives and no end in sight. A war which even now is being used to justify the nullification of our constitutional rights.

It sure is. Reason is a rare commodity these days. People seem as if they've gotten their wires crossed, short circuited and confusion resulting. It's strange indeed.

Actually, this is very revealing: it is an open admission on the part of the political police, that the maintenance of a multiracial society requires the abolition of all of the civil rights and common law rights which whites have slowly established over a thousand years of struggle for greater freedom, justice, and the rule of law. All this is thrown out the window to appease newcomers who care nothing for the Bill of Rights, Magna Carta, and other nonsensical products of evil "dead white males".

It will not be too long now before the only "crime" which will concern the police are "hate crimes". The job of the political police is to ensure that the current ruling elites remain in power; these elites have dictated the imposition of a multiracial society against the express wishes of the native population. As things get worse, and the unworkable multiracialist society falls apart, the elites are going to take out their anger on the only people it is still safe to oppress: law abiding, ordinary white, native, tax paying peons - the new serfs of the feudal multiracialist empire.

Of, BTW, it is no accident that Tone Blare is Bush Jr.'s personal lapdog, and is all rah-rah over the impending war. Tone Blare is pushing for this war, in spite of opposition to it within his own party, because it further justifies whatever "emergency measures" he choses to take, further eliminating whatever civil rights may remain.

And since the "war on terror" will never end, because there is no way to measure victory, the elimination of constitutional and civil rights will be de facto a permanent elimination, not just a temporary one.

Fatefully, in August 1999, two Gypsies broke into Martin’s home while he slept. In a blind panic the 55 year-old Martin took his gun out of the cupboard, crept down the stairs and fired three shots blindly into the dark, intending only to frighten them away. One wounded 30 year-old Brendan Fearon. The second shot killed 17 year old Fred Barras. Subsequent forensic evidence proved his assertion that he fired in the dark in a blind panic.

Natural justice was once again thwarted when Martin was found guilty of murder. He has now served two and one-half years and he came up before the Parole Board two weeks ago. But he was refused parole because he has failed to show remorse. He refuses to go along with the thought police. He still thinks he had a right to protect himself and his property.

That he has shown no remorse led the Orwellian Parole Board to refuse him freedom on the grounds that he poses a "threat to burglars." At the same hearing, authorities cited another damning cause for refusal of parole: "He tends to think things were better 50 years ago."

Note to Brits who might believe they have a right to defend themselves: After you get done shooting the animal invading your home, reload. More enemies are on their way.

This can and will happen here if we allow "sensible" "common sense" "in good faith" "modern" "gun control" to advance.

It would seem that England has become a real life "1984". I cannot imagine having to live under a such a system. The left wing must be destroyed before it destroys all of humanity.

Who are these authorities? Reno and Mugabe? Progressives, ungrateful and ignorant people.

Why haven't we (Americans), either?

And why do conservatives mouth and parrot left-wing rhetoric by calling these people "fascists"? No fascist government ever did anything so loony as this. Fascism is at worst a negative reaction against, and partial immitation of, socialism/communism.

Call these people commies or Bolsheviks; it's what they are, in spirit; if they were really fascists, that would actually constitute a partial reformation of their otherwise unredeemably bad character.
