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.
