I am a great detester of the Vermin Rights Act and the very, very perverse manner with which it has been implemented in this country.

The Vermin Rights Act is about protection of the individual and the individuals rights. So screw society as a whole and the practicalities of English Common Law based on hundreds of years of common sense. It is yet again a very unwelcome influence by Europe.

As suggested by Dave, London, had he turned around and belted one of them our great "justice" system would have thrown the book at him (the victim).

As Alan, London implied, given the obvious genetic make up of these sewer rats, no one will touch them for fear of being called racist.

Tough on the victims of crime, tough for the victims of crime. It seems the Con/Lib fiasco isn't going to change that, listening to Ken Clarke.

What cuts? My favourite two facts about British public spending are these. Housing benefit, probably the single most fraud­ulent and wasteful state handout ever invented, costs more each year than the Army and the Royal Navy combined.
And while Labour spent £600 billion (roughly £10,000 for every human being in this country) in their last year in office, the supposedly vicious cutter George Osborne plans to spend £692.7 billion (£11,500 per head) in 2014-15, after his alleged chainsaw massacre. Britain remains bankrupt in most important ways.

The division between left and right is now really in the areas loosely described as 'sex, drugs and rock and roll', plus of course the use of the education system to impose equality of outcome on its victims. And on the abolition of national sovereignty and its replacement by global or supranational governance, backed up where necessary with liberal military intervention.

This then is liberal Britain: a country where police responsible for over 50 million people fired guns in just 4 incidents, and where a large police force can go over 3 years without firing a gun at all.".

Just as well really since they seem to be able to raise a small army to deal with a drunken man with a shotgun trapped in his own house. Or they can shoot an innocent Brazilian electrician and get away with it, or a slightly inebriated man leaving a pub with a table leg under his arm, or an obviously unarmed man standing naked in his bedroom, or someone they 'mistook'for a wanted police murderer - amazingly he survived.

Of course no charges were brought and, if required to attend the inquest, they can expect anonymity. It can't get much safer than that on the streets.

For politics, 'middle class' is a person who essentially do...esn't want to pay tax, is concerned about immigrants, and worries about getting people on benefits off them so that they don't have to support them. They're nice and polite and less likely to join the BNP than their lower-paid equivilent but don't really want to contribute to their communities in any meaningful way. They're the revolutionary class, because until they want something (the end of the poll tax, affordable childcare) it doesn't happen.See more

He thinks once you have taken a public position, it is disgusting to change it – no matter how catastrophic it turned out to be. (A million deaths in the name of Weapons of Mass Destruction that didn't exist is a catastrophe by any standard.) Imagine if he had been leading Labour with that view for the next four years. And, please, spare me the weepy political obituaries. This is a man who, as Foreign Secretary, fought hard to cover up MI5's role in the torture of British residents abroad. I'll save my tears for the people who were attacked with drills and electric cattle prods, while he scrambled to keep it classified.
