Quote of the Day.

''Even the perception that the police service of this country - a British style of policing which is so important - is under any political influence, I think that suggests you cannot argue that you are a proper democratic society. It's as simple and as stark as that.

- Sir Hugh, the former Northern Ireland chief constable who took over as president of the private Association of Chief Police Officers earlier this year, insisting that there should be no perception of 'political influence' in policing.

The 'political infuence' that he is arguing is undemocratic, is the notion that communities should be able to chose who they pay to run their local police force and what their local priorities are.

The 'British style of policing' he believes is democratic is the £18 million pound a year tax payer funded ACPO which has 280 key members, who together comprise a powerful unelected body of people who by training and inclination are so right-wing that they can be described as fascists (small 'f'). They are unelected and answer to no-one apart from their own Police Committeees.

Sir Hugh is on record as saying that this suggestion could end up 'with a lunatic' in charge.

I assume he trained at Bramshill. We should be enquiring into the background and beliefs of those who teach at Bramshill; we appear to be turning out a generation of senior police officers with radical extremist beliefs as to what constitutes democracy that would disgrace a Madrasah.

Mandelson Grabs Nominet and Control of ISP's

The unelected one has grabbed himself some more power

"Officials said they believed it is unlikely the powers will be used"

...and said they were safely stored deep inside a gingerbread castle built on a cloud floating over Neverland.

And you can never ever ever vote Mandelson out in his unatural lifespan. He is there for good. Unless.....................

Where Its All Coming From 2008-2009, Every Picture Tells A Story

If we cut government spending to what it was twelve
years ago, you could scrap Income Tax (that temporary tax brought in to
fight the French), switch National Insurance to a basic medical
insurance that does not require mountains of bureaucrats and
accountants to play with, and you have dealt with near 50% of public
spending.

Yet with all this they are still borrowing money like it is going out of fashion.

OECD UPDATE

Britain's deficit will remain higher than any other major country, including even
Iceland and Ireland, unless the Government takes far more drastic action to repair it, said theOECD's acting chief economist Jørgen Elmeskov.

It is just not going to happen the Fuhrerbunker is still promising more spending on 'our people'.

Best Value and Futility.

One of the NHS websites proudly claims that the NHS is the 'best health service in the world'. The much vaunted reduction to 18 weeks waiting time for treatment - 18 days in France would cause a near riot - is apparently all the fault of the patients.

For some patients to start treatment within 18 weeks would be inconvenient or clinically inappropriate.

Inconvenient for whom is not explained. Not for the man with a malignant tumour, I'll bet.

We have a health service which proudly proclaims its advances in condemning the dying to a minimum of work on the part of medical staff - the Liverpool Pathway.

We have secret courts that decide whether young and old are to live or die based on the 'futility' - or not - of their lives.

We have Hospitals that dole out food over a year past its sell by date based on 'best value' practices.

We have the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence saying that £30,000 a year is the limit that they put on the cost of saving a life.

But, we have the Department for International Development bunging the Sierra Leone Government a magnificent £34 Million pounds to ensure free health care 'for pregnant and lactating women' in Sierre Leone.

Are Sierra Leone lives less futile than British lives, do they represent better value? To whom?

Speechless !

Herman Van Rompuy, the new EU President. Did you vote for him? Did the MEP's vote for him ? No he was appointed by among other our own unelected Prime Minister.

He is an avowed Federalist without a shred of a Mandate.



Baroness Ashton, never faced an election now the EU 'Foreign Minister'

Half a Billion people across Europe have had these two foisted on them. Truly this is the post democratic age. It is the new Imperial Age.

So what can we do? ANSWERS PLEASE

Right. Enough is enough. I can walk around in a costume, I can write on my blog and I can make life hell for the 646 in my own little way.

It isn't working though, is it?

We need ideas. It isn't voting for XXX or YYYY, that got us here. It isn't Twitter and it isn't Facebook. IT isn't the Daily Mail and it isn't Radio 4.

Something has to change. It simply cannot continue like this. We are bankrupted, our children are bankrupted, we are giving away our wages to people who want us to give away our wages and control our every movement, action and thought. Everything we do is now illegal.

I want serious suggestions from readers of the Old Holborn Blog. Do I publish a DIY "freeman" guide? Do we march? Where? Do we write? To whom? Do we start a newspaper or a national campaign? What do we do?

I don't have the answers but every, EVERY populace has prevailed over their oppressors. They did it. We can do it.

But we are going to have to get organised. And very, very serious.

646 of them. 60,000,000 of us.

HMP 946352 Harriet, Harman

You're fucking nicked, you SLAG

Oh dear, Harriet has been naughty.

Let's not forget her sage words

"And sentencing too, is vital for public confidence. If a sentence is lenient – it needs to be explained. The opportunity is there for magistrates and judges to thank those in the agencies and the victim and witnesses for the part they have played in bringing the offender before the courts. That can be irrespective of the verdict and whether or not those referred to are physically there in court. Above all, sentences need to be explained. Particularly if it is lenient.


But if there is an unjustifiably lenient sentence in the Crown Court which will undermine public confidence, the Attorney General and I can, and often do, refer the case to the Court of Appeal for the sentence to be increased."

BREAKING: Leaked UK government plan to create "Pirate Finder General" with power to appoint militias, create laws

A source close to the British Labour Government has just given me reliable information about the most radical copyright proposal I've ever seen.

Secretary of State Peter Mandelson is planning to introduce changes to the Digital Economy Bill now under debate in Parliament. These changes will give the Secretary of State (Mandelson -- or his successor in the next government) the power to make "secondary legislation" (legislation that is passed without debate) to amend the provisions of Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1988).

What that means is that an unelected official would have the power to do anything without Parliamentary oversight or debate, provided it was done in the name of protecting copyright. Mandelson elaborates on this, giving three reasons for his proposal:

1. The Secretary of State would get the power to create new remedies for online infringements (for example, he could create jail terms for file-sharing, or create a "three-strikes" plan that costs entire families their internet access if any member stands accused of infringement)

2. The Secretary of State would get the power to create procedures to "confer rights" for the purposes of protecting rightsholders from online infringement. (for example, record labels and movie studios can be given investigative and enforcement powers that allow them to compel ISPs, libraries, companies and schools to turn over personal information about Internet users, and to order those companies to disconnect users, remove websites, block URLs, etc)

3. The Secretary of State would get the power to "impose such duties, powers or functions on any person as may be specified in connection with facilitating online infringement" (for example, ISPs could be forced to spy on their users, or to have copyright lawyers examine every piece of user-generated content before it goes live; also, copyright "militias" can be formed with the power to police copyright on the web)

Mandelson is also gunning for sites like YouSendIt and other services that allow you to easily transfer large files back and forth privately (I use YouSendIt to send podcasts back and forth to my sound-editor during production). Like Viacom, he's hoping to force them to turn off any feature that allows users to keep their uploads private, since privacy flags can be used to keep infringing files out of sight of copyright enforcers.

This is as bad as I've ever seen, folks. It's a declaration of war by the entertainment industry and their captured regulators against the principles of free speech, privacy, freedom of assembly, the presumption of innocence, and competition.

This proposal creates the office of Pirate-Finder General, with unlimited power to appoint militias who are above the law, who can pry into every corner of your life, who can disconnect you from your family, job, education and government, who can fine you or put you in jail.

More to follow, I'm sure, once Open Rights Group and other activist organizations get working on this. In the meantime, tell every Briton you know. If we can't stop this, it's beginning of the end for the net in Britain.

If This Twat Wants To See Your E-mails, Make It Easy For Him!

"Cripple? You were a naughty person in a previous life..."

This gormless looking shithead is not actually Glen Hoddle's brother, he's Keir Starmer, Director of Public Prosecutions, who job it is to find ways of not charging corrupt politicians caught bang-to-rights fiddling their expenses.

He thinks it's a good thing to insist that the government has access to all your emails.

So let's make it easy for him. Copy him in on evrything you send (as long as it's not important) and drown the cunt in e-mails. I'm sure clever folk can find out his addy, and anything he changes it to.
