What's wrong with the UK?

You know I will tell you; a selection of stories from todays paper....

  • A thriving economy, but not for us - Britain's economic growth outstrips most in the World at 2.9%, says a recent study; however, a separate study says that this is not making it into our pockets, with most families just £9 a week better off than 2002. So who's getting all this money, Gordon?
  • £50,000 worth of damage at a detention centre for illegal immigrants - caused when an Algerian, about to be deported, set fire to his bed. The resulting chaos started a riot. Computers and windows trashed. I bet they're all still here too - why?
  • Shops to get their own jails! - this is great. Shops are to get their own jails and powers to hold people for up to 4 hours, to combat shoplifting and "freeing up space at police stations". Brilliant move by John Reid. How long til he rents them to ease the prison shortage?
  • Pikeys get their jail terms shortened - two pikey idiots who attacked an off duty policeman and left him a vegetable, unable to speak, unable to move, had their sentences shortened by two years each, from 9 years and 8 years to 7 and 6 respectively. This guy needs 24-hour care after being beaten because he refused a light for their cannibis joint! Excuse me, why are we reducing said sentences? Amazingly, they also got a promise that after they are released, if they re-offend, they won't get recalled to jail. Jesus Christ.
  • In the meantime - a dad of one, who lived near a jail, got 5 years for keeping a pistol. He didn't use it, just kept it. Mandatory sentence.
  • Uni of leeds censored - a lecture series on "Islamic anti-semitism in the middle East" was cancelled after complaints from muslim students. Free speech anyone?
  • Vicar stabbed to death - a vicar was stabbed to death at his own home. A 23 year old man was arrested at the scene. I'd bet my hat he's a care in the community patient. Who's with me?
  • Boy of ten gets an ASBO - while the reporter interviews said kid with his Mum, his Mum gives kid a cigarette from her packet. I guess we got to the root of that problem pretty quickly, eh mum?
  • Scroungers claims £75k - two old pikeys claimed benefits for 15 kids who didn't exist and got £75k. They're so stupid they gambled and drank it and don't even have a house, now living on a friend's floor. I hope they rot there.
  • Ambulanceman attacked - an ambulance driver was attacked when he stopped to help someone who collapsed. Passers by simply took photos on their mobiles.
  • UK to employ more male primary school teachers - Alan Johnson wants more men in primary schools to provide role models "especially for boys brought up by single mums". Is labour finally recognising their terrible legacy of neglecting the family?
  • Cabbie shot dead for £20 - a cab driver was shot 7 times as he tried to escape being robbed. His colleagues claim he would have had no more than £15-20 on him. Hanging is too good for these wankers

So, tell me again, how come the battlefield for the next election is supposed to be the environment? Mr Blair, Mr Cameron, your country is fucked, are you listening?
