&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/31/article-2020789-0C8C5DAB000005DC-484_226x358.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sian Williams" border="0" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/31/article-2020789-0C8C5DAB000005DC-484_226x358.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sian Williams&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The leader of the LibDems is a charlatan. I believe that anyone who has a brain can see that he is purely a political animal with not an ounce of conviction. He clearly has no feel for the will of the public and frankly he doesn't care. Nick Clegg is an arch European moderniser so when he appeared on the BBC breakfast time programme I expected the usual crap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Step forward Miss Goody Twoshoes, Sian Williams, who in my opinion could, along with her partner in crime Bill Turnbull, bore for Britain! Suddenly Sian became a rotweiler! She absolutely savaged Clegg who must have expected the usual BBC easy ride! He was proposing a LibDem policy which had no substance because he had no control over George Osborne's budget.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;She immediately pounced on his duplicity and exposed him for what he was...a double dealing europhile. She did us all a favour and I have rarely seen a mainstream politician looking so crestfallen. His big launch had been destroyed by an eagle eyed presenter! I hope that one day Sian heads towards Newsnight because on the evidence of this she really could be the next Paxman!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I would be prepared to wager that the attitude and callousness of &lt;a href="http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/Police-catch-Leicester-driver-11-people-car/story-15038781-detail/story.html"&gt;this Hungarian immigrant&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;mirrors a problem which is being concealed from the public. The fact that our porous borders allow anyone who desires free money and housing into this country is bound to attract the undesirable. It is meant to attract them. Our prisons are full of them and it is costing us a small fortune.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I will reiterate that I know immigrants who have arrived here with full intentions of being good citizens and adopting our way of life. They are lovely people and deserve everything that they achieve. They now speak excellent English and have never expected a penny from the state.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;However, when you catch an uninsured driver with 11 people in his car and kids stuffed into the boot who also requires an interpreter to represent him then for the life of me I can see no reason for him or his family to remain here. Clearly he has little regard for the laws of this land and has forfeited the right to live here. He could have killed anybody. When will our modernising politicians admit that we must get a grip of our borders and prevent this type of ignorant layabout from taking advantage of a creaking system of immigration?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-7939442580401711031?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I write this blog. I am fortunate that, as an ex grammar schoolboy, I was educated to be able to write a sentence or two. I often wonder however, how frustrated I would become if I could see my country being invaded by an army of foreigners and consequently&amp;nbsp;finding myself competing for houses and jobs at the lower end of the market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Not all British working class people are happy to be&amp;nbsp;benefit scroungers. Not everyone wants to be kept by the state and have their future prospects limited by a Political Class hell bent on controlling your life, your family and your children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;From this background the English Defence League has emerged. I actually know nothing about the EDL but from what I have read it comprises working class people protesting in their own way particularly against the advance of Islam in this country. Islam has not yet affected my life or the lives of probably very many English people but if you live shoulder to shoulder with people promoting an alien culture then it would be unnatural not to become anxious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So the EDL has decided that they will hold a march through Leicester next Saturday to protest presumably against the tidal wave of immigration. The march has apparently been sanctioned by the police and the EDL claim that they want a peaceful protest. So far so good!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;That is until the 'Unite against Fascism' group then decide that they too want to march through Leicester on the same day and at the same time as the EDL. Clearly to allow two opposing groups to clash is a recipe for disaster so why have the police allowed this lunacy? In my opinion it is being allowed to stifle public protest. They actually want trouble to occur so that any legitimate argument against mass immigration will disappear amidst lurid headlines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Read the type of person who &lt;a href="http://uaf.org.uk/2012/01/brilliant-public-meeting-as-leicester-unites-to-oppose-edl/"&gt;support the UAF&lt;/a&gt;. It is clearly trade union dominated and as such can be mobilised at a whim. I never hear about UAF until the EDL or formerly the BNP (British National Party)&amp;nbsp;appear on a public platform. The UAF give the impression that they are financed by the Trade Unions to bully and threaten any person remotely connected to nationalism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The clips will inevitable appear on Youtube and I will conclude by suggesting that you observe which party instigates the violence! I would suggest that the EDL march will come under pressure from the UAF or ... dare I suggest the police themselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As ever the mainstream media will slant their reports in favour of their principle objective which means people who want to maintain the traditional British way of life are of course misguided!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-7925575126831299561?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

My parents were from Clydeside where voting Conservative is regarded akin to domestic abuse! My father was an area union secretary for the railway TSSA. As a youngster I earned pocket money by writing names on the annual union cards that he issued to members.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is with this caveat that I declare the modern public sector unions as being a major threat to the social structure of this country. The public sector after 13 years of mismanagement by Labour clearly requires reform. We need reform in the NHS, in Education, in Welfare and well almost every aspect of public sector practice but every time someone advances a common sense proposal up pops a union baron&amp;nbsp;to invariably oppose the change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is not being uncharitable to mention that every top union official collects a six figure salary. Even further down the line some of the union officials work full time for the union even though their salaries are paid out of the public purse. Guido Fawkes calls them ''Pilgrims' after a prominent member of&amp;nbsp;a nursing union, Jane Pilgrim. Have a look at today's exposure! &lt;a href="http://order-order.com/"&gt;It is an obscene waste of public money.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Without exception and without reason they all support the Labour&amp;nbsp;party. Without exception they oppose &lt;strong&gt;anything&lt;/strong&gt; proposed by the Coalition. They were even responsible for the election of Ed Miliband to lead the Labour party and without their funding Labour would not exist. This is a very unhealthy threat to our democracy. We cannot reconstruct the injustices in our political system and public sector when one of our major parties is so blinkered and out of touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Someone must confront their waste and greed in the same way that Margaret Thatcher confronted Arthur Scargill and the miners. As a country we will never move forward until we have unions that reject personal greed and ambition and promote the workforce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-6166990630101187106?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In an age when we, the public, cannot afford public toilets or libraries the 'modernisers' can afford high speed railways, another London airport, an Olympics, a royal yacht and a huge bail out of the euro?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is ridiculous! They never stop spending taxpayer's money. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;They&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; cannot understand that &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;we&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; cannot afford &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ambition. In my household I have a budget. I know what I can afford. At the moment I can afford everything that I pay for but if the going gets tough then what do I cut? First on the agenda&amp;nbsp;would be Sky TV... it is a luxury that I love but when the going gets tough it&amp;nbsp;would get&amp;nbsp;chopped and so in government terms that could mean&amp;nbsp;stopping our contributions&amp;nbsp;to the European Union because it is an expensive luxury that we can't afford.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Then we have savings. Today we can&amp;nbsp;still save for our future but if inflation continues to rise we would have to cut back. In government terms it means that we cannot afford&amp;nbsp;the lavish&amp;nbsp;Foreign Aid&amp;nbsp;that we dispense to countries with better growth than ourselves. It is just common sense.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I will never understand why all our international commitments cost we, the British, so much money. Four French soldiers get killed in Afghanistan and immediately Sarkozy threatens to withdraw the French contingent. Four!? We have been in Afghanistan longer than the Second World War. The cost in manpower has been horrific and nobody has yet been able to explain why we, an island nation, can&amp;nbsp; have our security threatened by marauding Afghans! The official excuse is pathetic so there must be another reason for so much loss of life. The cost is also horrific and so I must just concede that we are being fleeced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Do you understand what I am saying? We do not need to beg or borrow our way out of debt. We just cut our cloth to what we can afford. I do not need SKY TVor savings&amp;nbsp;to survive. I can cut so much if I have to and so can the government. They can cut so much frivolous spending, starting with their own bar and dining facility, but then they choose not to and you still vote for them! It is still time to refuse to vote ConDemLab. Don't give them your approval.

Can anyone explain why their dictator is being allowed to slaughter his own people in order to hang onto power? Why are the international forces of justice protecting Bashar al-Assad when they released the dogs of war on Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi?What is the difference?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;May I suggest that the difference is that the Syrian Leader has no oil to protect and probably in every other way he is cooperating with the world's bankers. He is no threat to the New World Order so we don't go there. Iraq on the other hand had much that the 'corporatocracies' coveted and so had Libya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I suspect that Gaddafi actually defied the multiple national 'corporatocracies' and they taught him a lesson which would reverberate around the world. The same with Saddam Hussein! If you upset the 'corporatopcracies' then you are toast!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;However, if you have responsible leaders who care for the people then you can defy the New World Order...take Ecuador for example. Ecuador sold out to the American bankers until Rafael Correa arrived on the scene. He declared that their national debt was illegitimate and refused to pay! So what happened....nothing....he is still in charge and he is forging alliances with countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua who regard the United States as the 'Great Satan'. Correa reckons that is an insult to the devil!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You see you hear nothing of this from the political driven mainstream media in this country. Who cares about Central and South American countries? Who cares about countries that are defying the very people who control our media in this country?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I am learning all the time and when I do I will pass it on. In the meantime Syrians are dying for freedom&amp;nbsp;and nobody much seems to care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-8217613572352258178?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is ridiculous because the billions that the Murdoch Empire has made out of phone hacking or at least irresponsible behaviour means that the payouts are peanuts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So far it would appear that none of the 'wronged' celebrities have refused the payments so it would appear that they are being bought off. When will we get the truth? When will the mainstream media actually front up to their behaviour?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I am still ploughing through my book 'Hoodwinked' written by a self confessed 'Economic Hit Man' and it is illuminating. He calls companies like News International 'corporatocracies' because they are so large and so powerful that they transcend national boundaries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Economics is quite a difficult subject so I am struggling with Milton Friedmann and Keynesian principles but I will get there because I almost had to study law when my son was doing his degree and was asking for my advice! So far I do wonder how the author John Perkins has survived because he is seriously giving the game away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;News International is huge and they must have a game plan. They are one of probably only six media magnates in the world. A few grand here and there is nothing to them. Their license to dominate the media is all important so that the closure of the News of the World was merely a flea bite. At present News International is just clearing up an unfortunate little hiccup in the UK! There are no rules to contain them so everyone might just as well grab the cash (notice that the indignant Prescott has grabbed the money with no questions asked!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-3849616723232587186?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

So in this spirit of good health I opened the Daily Mail this morning and immediately my blood reached boiling point!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now I know the Daily Mail is reputed by left wing modernisers to be sensationalist and provocative but until they disprove the stories then I will continue to read it. I have been railing against so called British Justice for some time now occasionally highlighting the antics of our hopelessly inadequate judges&amp;nbsp;so when I witness &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088330/Thugs-Daniel-Chrapkowski-Thomas-Lane-celebrate-wildly-outside-court-escaping-jail.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the steps of our courts then I know that all justice has ceased. This young man should have been immediately rearrested and charged with 'contempt of court'.&amp;nbsp;I can only hope that one day when he is old and grey another young thug will kick some sense into his head!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Then we have two more examples of our contemptible immigration policy! Both featured Lithuanians allowed into this country en masse because of our association with the European Union. One of them, a &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088354/Victor-Akulic-Lithuanian-child-rapist-allowed-UK-brutally-rapes-woman.html"&gt;convicted child rapist&lt;/a&gt;, was yesterday jailed for life for an horrific rape. Of course we all know that 'life' does not mean 'life' and that he will never be deported so when the lady judge asks 'Do we let anyone in' I have to ask her what planet is&amp;nbsp;she is living on?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is also no surprise that the distress of the Kolar family at the murder of their parents&amp;nbsp;witnessed by most of us now appears to have been at the hands of &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088750/Birmingham-couple-murder-Policemans-parents-killed-lump-hammer.html"&gt;another Lithuanian&lt;/a&gt; who was arrested yesterday. I must now pose the question just who is checking on these immigrants? They wouldn't be here you know if we didn't give them financial incentives. When is the Coalition going to remove the incentives and properly reevaluate the welfare system?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I know the answer to that and so do most of you but as this 'green and pleasant land' sinks to new depths of depravity one still has to pose the question...who is really trying to get us back on track or&amp;nbsp;is hope now just a dream?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-3337073528360556219?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;There comes a time when most of us just shake our heads in disbelief at the ineptitude of the Political Class who are paid a small fortune to keep us safe. Time after time I have criticised the people organising the Olympic Games and continually they endorse my mistrust of them by committing acts of inexplicable stupidity!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now comes news that a police officer took a packet of security plans for the Olympic Games and left them on a train in Kent. Can you imagine that? What kind of numbskull would do something like that and as it happened on 5 January we have been kept in the dark ever since.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A public spirited citizen handed them in to 'The Sun' who of course published the details which included mobile phone numbers of other senior officers and details of 'lock down' procedures in the event of an emergency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The response from the Met is of course typical. Don't worry folks, no big deal, officer reported loss, nothing sensitive compromised so business as usual. Well it really is 'business as usual' for the Met officers who have form for waving around Top Secret 'Codeword' documents in public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I worked with Top Secret documents for 20 years and there is absolutely no way I could have smuggled anything out of our military bases or would have wanted to. If they had to move they were properly accounted for and moved by official courier. How these officers think that they can just pop them into a 'bag' and be trusted not to leave them on a train baffles me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;By the way the computer for the return and sale of Olympic tickets limped &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012-olympic-website-to-relaunch-but-you-cant-buy-any-tickets-6290792.html"&gt;back on line yesterday&lt;/a&gt; but with one important omission. We can't now buy any of the returned tickets. The authorities will now buy them all back and reallocate them later but won't say how. They probably need time to think up yet another scam!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-183313761004754091?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

All of my life (he is five months older than me) I have been privileged to share the same history as the great man. Many of my family memories have been shared with Mohammed Ali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;My dad and I watched his win at the Olympic Games. We watched in astonishment as this kid from America destroyed the Polish European Champion. I then watched his rise to fame from afar until the night that he was dropped by Henry Cooper and I was there on that night live at the old&amp;nbsp;Wembley arena. Henry caught Ali with a huge punch but the champ recovered because he always did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Then he had his problem with the American public because this particular&amp;nbsp;black man&amp;nbsp;had no intention of propping up an American administration by volunteering to fight in Vietnam. In hindsight he was so right!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So they binned him for three years and when I was in Berlin we saw the first of his comeback fights. My wife and I got up at 2am to watch the first Ali/Frazier fight and to my chagrin Mohammed Ali lost. He was almost thirty and so was I and when he lost I almost believed that I too had&amp;nbsp;lost my youth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Later I watched his many fights and his occasional losses most of which he avenged. The 'Rumble in the Jungle' and the 'Thriller in &amp;nbsp;Manila' have become legendary. We just don't seem to see fights like that any more. These guys should receive the equivalent of the Victoria Cross for the effort that they delivered. They were close to death because physically&amp;nbsp;they gave everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is so sad to see this supreme physical being shambling around today but nothing will dim the memory of his boxing ability and his charisma. He had a unique charm which he used to promote himself and entertain the rest of us. Happy Birthday Ali!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

There is no shorter winning margin in racing. The jockey, Will Kennedy, was subsequently banned for&amp;nbsp;seven days and forfeited his share of the&amp;nbsp;prize money for misuse of the whip. In other words he flogged the horse across the winning line depriving his opponent of a well merited win.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The horse racing authorities have been heavily criticised for the manner in which they have implemented this misuse of the whip rule. It was introduced without a trial period. What I fail to understand is why the stewards only punish the jockey? There is no way that a horse should keep the race if the jockey has cheated to win it. Everyone should suffer. Under these rules the owners can 'recompense' the jockey privately and nobody loses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Horse racing, particularly National Hunt racing, is a very cruel sport. It is exciting and challenging and some of the beasts are so brave and honest that they worm their way into the hearts of the nation. There is however, a very high casualty rate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The authorities have been praised for their anti corruption stance and recently some high profile jockeys have been banned but if they seriously want this whip rule to change anything then the horse should lose the race. Cheats should never prosper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-3342479885059533174?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is becoming hard to understand the current financial crisis engulfing the members of the European Union...you know all those countries who were economically healthy before they joined the 'club'. Today France became yet another country to lose their credit rating which should be a disaster for the country but somehow nobody seems to care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As country after country collapses financially one wonder what it means? The sums involved in all cases are so astronomical that I wonder how it can happen? These countries all have professional financial advisers presumably paid handsomely to keep their countries out of the red so what has happened?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;How can normal families budget to keep themselves solvent but countries like, shall we say, France, Spain, Greece (!), Portugal, Ireland, Italy and yes the UK all owe huge sums of money to an invisible authority who has lent them bewildering amounts of cash? Who has that much money? Come on who has so much money that they can lend these countries trillions of euros? It simply is not possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We are all being duped. We are being conned by the politicians and the bankers. Our financial system has been corrupted and I really wonder whether they are playing too close to the wind. I really hope not because the figures are beginning to look fictitious!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They ignored the views of the family and as a result &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-16511907"&gt;he killed his grandfather&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now the Healthcare authority wheel out a Healthcare professional in front of the cameras to apologise! Once again nobody is sacked for incompetence and nobody is held responsible. The family are left to grieve knowing that a death was preventable with just a hint of professionalism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;24 times they voiced their fears and were ignored. How can the Chief Executive and so many more retain their jobs? What level of incompetence has to be illustrated before someone is sacked? Under this 'modernising' society what does it take to replace an under performing public service employee? How many more grieving families before we change the system? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-7484096298519827107?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

They were distraught and I am not ashamed to say that I wept with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I just wonder what some of the 'modernisers', the very people who have corrupted our justice system, thought when they witnessed the results of their handy work. Are they still so proud of what they are doing to our society? Have they no compassion for the people who suffer because of their warped ideals?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I have complained so often but until we bring back punishments which fit the crime and yes I mean, where appropriate, mediaeval retaliation and definitely capital punishment, the scenes we witnessed this afternoon will continue and increase. I just cannot accept that a hard working, close knit, decent family should be subjected to so much trauma because some lawless individuals have no respect for the justice system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Labour party had 13 years to confront it and failed. So far the Coalition are also failing to tighten up the Justice system. It is so riddled by failing laws, weak judges and interference from the EU that we have totally lost our way. We seriously need leadership! We need courage but even seeing the results today of the 'modernisation' of our society I cannot see one mainstream politician who will confront the 'modernisers' and say 'you are wrong...look what you have done...look at what you are doing...we must change direction NOW'!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I am about 10 pages into it and the language is somewhat confusing but the message is already filtering into my brain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Governments across the world have been 'hoodwinked' by massive corporations to forget their tried and tested financial regulations and invest in risky projects. It has resulted in the massive debts run up by so many countries across the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Parliament &amp;nbsp;and the Financial Services Agency watched as Gordon Brown and his cohorts (almost?) wrecked one of the largest economies in the world. We, the public, also watch as our politicians continually launch projects which will cost the country billions. In every city, town and village we watch helplessly as services are cut to follow the austerity programme imposed upon us by politicians who to this day enjoy their subsidised life in Westmonster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In the meantime as one failed project after another eats into our economy they continue to invest in monstrous white elephants. &amp;nbsp;They will not abandon foreign aid to countries far better placed financially than we are, our contribution to the EU is ridiculous, we are fighting an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, bombing Libya cost us billions, then the over budget Olympics and now a project (HS2)&amp;nbsp;costed at £32 billion and already forecast to double that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It will never stop until we cut our ties to the EU. It will never stop until we defeat the 'modernisers', those servants of the EU who infect every major political party. I am beginning to sound like a cracked record but there is a simple reason that HS2 should be cancelled. WE cannot afford it! There are also a hundred other reasons to cancel it but the bottom line is we cannot afford it. This government, despite all of the PM's rhetoric, is still borrowing billions every month. It must cease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Before people lose their homes, their land, the countryside, nature reserves and our sanity we the public must halt this madness. &amp;nbsp;Somehow we must get the message to the politicians that we have had enough. If we don't then ruination is the only possible outcome. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-2564126072649474109?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Not one MP (when I was watching) told Madame Greening that this was a dreadful waste of public money and not necessary particularly when we as a country are skint!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So do we have anyone who will tell the public the truth? Yes we have so once again step forward Nigel Farage the leader of UKIP!

Modernisers v The Public!</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://www.globalgiants.com/archives/media/Train.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Train.jpg" border="0" height="213" src="http://www.globalgiants.com/archives/media/Train.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;o the battle begins! Justine Greening, a leading Conservative moderniser and Transport Secretary has just announced in Westmonster that she is going full speed ahead to deliver the new high speed railway. She immediately received cross party support from all parties because all the main politicians are 'modernisers' which means that they don't back the British public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Facing them will be families who will lose their homes, people wishing to defend beauty spots and and villagers who will lose their way of life. This surely has to be worth defending. We have got a perfectly adequate rail system. It is over priced and badly administered but that is not the fault of the public. Before these 'modernisers' destroy the countryside they should attempt to make the current system work. Prices continue to rise dramatically and the service that the public receive is appalling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Almost every government in the world recognises that an efficient railway must be subsidised. It is the duty of a government to maintain a good rail service for the benefit of the people. They cannot ask passengers to keep paying for an over crowded service. The crux of the problem is that the 'modernisers' do not understand the word 'duty'. It is not in their vocabulary. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We are a relatively small country. Even at high speed the time saved will be minimal. It will never be worth the cost, the destruction of the countryside and the devastation of local communities. It is only worth it if your ultimate intention is to break down a society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I hope that the thousands of people who will feel the full force of this project fight it all the way and that the rest of us support them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-9102487332234443079?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://patriotic-flags.com/world/britishisles/tartanarmy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://patriotic-flags.com/world/britishisles/tartanarmy.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;My parents arrived in Derby in 1939 newly married and hopeful for a good future. They were both children from Motherwell, a steel city built on grime and coal. I remember it with affection because the people were honest working class and they welcomed a little 'English' boy into their bosom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;My late son rediscovered his Scottish heritage 50 years later and decided that this was really his 'home' country. He delighted in wearing his grandfather's kilt and graduated from Edinburgh Napier University with his Law Degree wearing it. His friends are delightful and our banter about Scottish weather and southern softies continues in good natured friendship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;That is the relationship which I enjoy with Scotland. I was schooled and reared in England and I consider myself English because I never, ever actually lived in Scotland. Yes by birth I am Scots but I am what I feel and I feel English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So after that laboured introduction how do I view Scottish independence? Alex Salmond and his SNP crew are challenging Westmonster and I for one have had enough. The problem is that Scotland is actually a single party country. The Tories don't exist culturally and the Labour Party has let so many people down. Unlike the English the Scots actually think about politics. They realise that the Scottish Labour politicians, led by Gordon Brown, have let them down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Enter the SNP (Scottish Nationalist Party) and their threat to hold a referendum on independence. The Scottish people will be given an opportunity to decide their future (unlike the English) and they can vote for independence. I doubt very much if they will&amp;nbsp;secede&amp;nbsp;from the United Kingdom because, if they do then they will be worse off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;By the way ask the English (nobody ever does) what they want from the union with Scotland...you people north of the border would seriously not like the answer. Tell Alex Salmond to shut his stupid mouth because you may regret what he wants! Down here we are sick of Scottish politicians...Brown, Blair, Darling, John Reid, Kennedy, Martin and on it goes!

We can them renegotiate our membership of the EU. We have really had enough of &amp;nbsp;Scottish bigotry built up over years of historical distortion.

I viewed it some time ago and came to the conclusion that Aaron Rosso was plausible. Because of his position and background he had strong links to many of the people who belong to what is termed the New World Order.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The New World Order are mainly bankers and as Mr Rosso articulates they are hell bent on changing the world. I see that over 1,700.000 have now viewed this clip and yet nothing much has changed. In fact it has got worse which gives his other claims a strange credibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I must admit that I declare an interest because I have always claimed that the EU is an illicit organisation that could never stand close inspection. I have always laughed off the monstrous claim that our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan to make us a safer country. Tony Blair has been totally discredited for taking us to war in Iraq and if anyone still believes that the economies of almost every western European country was caused by 'reckless' bankers' should really get a &amp;nbsp;reality check.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The bankers were responsible but they were not reckless because it was very well planned and executed. The compliant politicians just helped the plan along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-5780010356192847594?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ken Clarke&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is now becoming clear that the soft approach to criminality adopted by those trusted to protect the public is having a serious&amp;nbsp;effect on our safety. Increasingly decent members of our society are being murdered by criminals out on licence who should, if justice had been served, be safely behind bars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The UK is currently a haven for criminals. There is no deterrent&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;in the soft option sentencing guidelines which would cause anyone to think twice before committing a violent crime. We can witness the bewilderment and grief of the family from India who are mourning their student son after he wandered into the 'manor' of 'Psycho' Stapleton from Salford and was shot in the head for his ignorance. You would not catch me on the streets of Salford at any hour never mind the early hours but how was he to know?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I doubt very much if there was a policemen on the beat within five square miles of him and that was probably why he died.&amp;nbsp; By and large our streets are no longer safe because they have been left unprotected by a police force weighed down by risk assessments and the constant battle against drunken young people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I have long believed that until the 'modernisers', who are hell bent on changing our society to mirror their warped beliefs, reap the rewards of their mindset then nothing will change. If one of these politicians is made to grieve for a loved one then perhaps it will come home to them what they have achieved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We have one such person in charge of the Justice System in this country. He is a paid up member of the 'worship the European Union' club and&amp;nbsp; one of the few ordinary&amp;nbsp;politicians who has had serial invitations to the Bilderberger meetings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I cannot believe that a Conservative Prime Minister could hand the Criminal Justice System to someone&amp;nbsp;like Ken Clarke. Every time that I want to believe in David Cameron then reality brings me back from the brink. Every time that the PM wins me over and no matter&amp;nbsp; how convincing he becomes, the very fact that Ken Clarke is&amp;nbsp;the Justice Minister&amp;nbsp;and still ignoring the British people,&amp;nbsp;ruins his cause.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ken Clarke serves a master that most of us do not recognise or understand. His willingness to create an alien political society which&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;refuses to acknowledge public concern is mystifying. I believe his motives are suspect but he is getting older and he should be replaced. I wonder which 'moderniser' will replace him because in order to oppress the country further&amp;nbsp;this particular position is vital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We desperately need changes in our criminal justice system. The public need protection. The 'modernisers' have now gone too far with their liberal policies. A country without justice is&amp;nbsp;heading for disaster and&amp;nbsp;the recent&amp;nbsp;increase in murder and stabbings is reflecting the changes in our society. Someone has to&amp;nbsp;slam the gears into reverse!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-5717623342832246060?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I just cannot credit the ineptitude of the people charged with running the London Olympics. This was the morning that people who had obtained tickets that they didn't want (probably half the nation) were informed that they could return them for resale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;At the same time buyers were lining up to buy the returned tickets. One would have thought that the technology would be in place to deal with this gigantic swap but...the system broke down and couldn't handle the demand.

I have recently waded through &lt;a href="http://www.yasni.co.uk/ext.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cpexposed.com%2Fgraduates%2Fgraduate_results.php&amp;amp;name=Arbaaz+Allybux&amp;amp;cat=other&amp;amp;showads=1"&gt;this list&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I concentrated on the police mainly because the police can be identified by rank and position.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I found 309 people (I expected more) with links to various UK police forces and the years that they sold themselves to Common Purpose. During the many appointments, promotions and media appearances I did not find one reference to their Common Purpose association.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Of those 309 individuals 189 rose to a position of Superintendent or higher. Three are Assistant Commissioners, 16 are/were Chief Constables and a further 16 Deputy Chief Constables. The list ceases at 2006 so it could be much higher by now. There is little doubt that the influence of Common Purpose has become a major problem if we are to administer the country in a fair and democratic manner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is also worth mentioning that some of those on the list were civilian administrators (like Chair people of various local police authorities) and not serving police officers and in addition some women could not be further traced (possibly serving under married names).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I have no doubt that the people that were approached by CP have talent as many were educated to degree level but to submit to a 'secret' organisation surely indicates character flaws. In the overall police organisation 309 rotten apples is still quite small but their seniority makes them dangerous. I do wonder how their colleagues view them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6170277338293360731-5644913924886227142?l=bryboy-victormeldrewsbrother.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I'm afraid that I was not surprised to hear that our Olympic Games organising committee had oversold tickets for the synchronised swimming by 100,000!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I do not know who devised the ticket allocation system but when you are actively trying to prevent the public from getting the good tickets then everything is bound to get over complicated. It is therefore no surprise that when you are juggling tickets for politicians, civil servants, corporate bodies, sponsors, visiting foreign dignitaries and your own relations then something is bound to get fouled up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;These Games are on the verge of becoming farcical which is a shame when you appreciate the huge efforts that our competitors and their families and coaches make to get them to the starting line. Whatever happened to first come first served with the only preference given to the competitors and their friends and family?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
