Great Britain, land of the free....

Right to defend yourself...banned except for police.
Guns...banned except for police.
Pepper spray...banned except for police.
Knives...banned.
Penknives...banned.
Batons...banned, except for police.
Tasers...banned except for police.
Foul language...banned (c.f. "gay horse" incident).
Filming the police...in practice banned.
Cameras...(soon to be) banned except for police.

So what new restriction will Big Brother visit on us now to cut knife
crime despite his ineffectual knife ban, given that he has almost
utterly castrated the British citizen? What about a thought crime ban
or curfews?

Has it ever occurred to anyone that:
1. Maybe everyone should be given a choice to carry arms?
2. Death will most naturally fall upon people who take their chances
with it often?
3. The death of such people at the hands of law abiding citizens is
simply a case of natural selection?
4. Human incompetence and corruption means that systems should be
build around decentralised power, independent co-operative federations
and inherent distrust, rather than trust. Respective examples: police
forces can police each other; the UK becomes a federation of states
and no unitary databases exist across jurisdictions.
5. We are no longer free people, we no longer have the means to resist
autocracy and we will soon lose the means to be informed about
autocratic developments.

Knife murders increase in 10 force areas targeted by £7million
crackdown on knife crime

Knife murders have increased in 10 hotspots which were targeted by a
£7million crackdown on knife crime, figures show.

The news will be deeply embarrassing for the Home Office, which last
year launched its plan to crack down on knife crime after a number of
high profile knife murders.

It comes as Alan Johnson, the home secretary, announces plans today to
expand the scheme from 10 to 16 police forces across England and
Wales, and widen the strategy to cut down on all violent crime among
13 to 24 year olds.

Figures released today [wed] show that between July 2008 and March
this year 126 people were stabbed to death in the 10 areas covered by
the Home Office's Tackling Knife Crime Action Plan, up from 119 in the
same period the year before.

The Government targeted the 10 police force areas most affected by
knife crime, including the Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester and
Merseyside, with an advertising blitz matched with a local police
crackdown using knife arches and other initiatives.

Overall the number of stabbings in the 10 areas among under-19s fell
by 17 per cent. For those aged over 20, the fall was eight per cent.
Robberies with knives were also down in the targeted areas.

Bu in three areas the number of violent offences using a knife
increased, including by 42 per cent in Thames Valley and 37 per cent
in Nottinghamshire.

David Hanson, a home office minister, defended the plan and said that
results were likely to be seen in a "generation" rather than just
after one year. The rise had come about after a spike in murders last
August which explained the rise.

He added: "The trend for October and November shows that there have
been fewer deaths in the period and I hope that the trend can
continue."

Despite the mixed results, Alan Johnson, the home secretary, will
announce plans today [wed] to expand the action plan to include 16
police force areas, with a target of cutting all forms of "serious
violence" among 13 to 24 year olds.

The £5million plan includes a £2million advertising campaign, and a
£220,000 budget to allow hospitals to share data about knife injuries
admitted to accident and emergency departments.

Mr Johnson added: "This is not a problem we can solve overnight but we
remain totally committed to tacking youth violence. That's why we have
expanded the target age group of the action plan."

Last month the father of Ben Kinsella, who was stabbed to death over a
trivial argument, condemned the knife crime culture he said is
"embedded in the heart of Britain". George Kinsella said parents "
live in fear" of their children not returning home from school every
day.

The Homophobic Hate campaign by English Churches Housing Group
(ECHG),Hammersmith & Fulham Council and The Metropolitan Police is
still continuing – at the moment my tormentors think it is acceptable
to run a Hate campaign and they do not think they have done anything
wrong.

The authorities know who I am, but they think it is acceptable for a
group of people to run a homophobic hate campaign.

I have to deal with a lot of hate from my tormentors – both, major and
minor incidences – at the moment, my tormentors are enjoying
themselves enormously and they are hoping I will loose my temper –
when I do get an investigation into this hate campaign - most people
will be horrified by the hate I have to suffer.

My Tormentors take an enormous pleasure in making my life a living
hell - my Tormentors see me as a soft target. I am not scared of them
nor am I afraid of them - I will get a full criminal investigation
into this hate campaign - on my terms and I will not shut-up until I
get to the bottom of everything these criminals have done - I mean
everything and in the process I will clear my name which my Tormentors
have elegantly blackened.

When the whole truth comes out of what has happened - you will find
that I am a Law-abiding citizen and a veteran of the Falklands
Campaign.
