It's true enough also that the altruistic survival instinct has diminished; you're more likely to see a video of someone being attacked than someone helping. Heaven forbid they'd drop their best friend, their phone, and apply a boot.<br />I once did wade in to a group of yobs that laughed as they blocked a footpath and forced a woman with a baby off the kerb into a busy road. I don't recall details other than some of them falling over, it was red mist/switch in the head which hasn't happened before or since. Very foolish in hindsight given their numbers and my age, but there's still some Sus scrofa in this little piggy. I know it now.

Judges seemed critical of the decision of the jury. His narrative was that as a deeply inadequate youth, he had met Miss Ovis at a clinic where they were both recieving treatement for mental conditions. He claimed, although this was not adequately demonstrated in the court reports, that he had finally had a satisfactory relationship with someone, only to have her leave him and commence a relationship with William Crompton.<br /><br />As neither Crompton nor Ovis were alive to verify this, it is a question in my mind as to whether the relationship ever existed outside Cole's head. However, even if it did, that does not warrant breaking in to the house where the lovers were, taking ropes and knives etc, killing them, and then going to the local hospital to confess. <br /><br />The juries - he got a re-trial - both times were equipped with full medical disclosure and both times decided that he had commmitted murder. <br /><br />The courts ameliorated this, first reducing the sentence as if consistent with manslaughter as a result of wounding, and finally releasing him after various arguments about his privacy and whether he poses a risk, and whether he should be allowed to go back to where the families still live. This year Cole was given extraordinary protection, wiping parts of the story from the public record in aid of his privacy. <br /><br />The point I want to make is not about Cole but about his victims, who were not MPs. It appears that dead MPs are deader than other people and count more if slaughtered by mad people. It also appears that if you kill an MP, then normal rules of evidence such as reserving items for the defence rather than shoving them in the Daily Mail, will be turned on their heads. MPs are special, doncherknow. Only probably not the Brexit ones.

They are wrong to block the public highway but what can you do. AS it is, every time I pass the kirk and see the mini-digger there, I flashread in my mind, Greys Elegy In A Country ChurchYard.And no harm in that.<br /><br />Sometimes they have, in the town, one of those walking, slow-parade funerals; same thing happens, the traffic stops until the dead one is afforded his rites.<br />Death notices appear in all the shop windows, here, they are titled: An Intimation and an Invitation - a public statement of the death and an invitation to the funeral.<br /><br />All of that is decent and respectful, regardless of the fact that the clergyperson is generally some simpering Godlessheathenbastard Presbyterian; people pause for Death an d then get on with Life. This orchestrated tearing of hair and rending of raiments is a whole other thing, wicked and cynical, may their arses fall out and the whole ghastly cortege slither in its own entrails, fall to teh ground, writhing, and expire, gasping in a pile of shit and innards.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-79647861753975650402016-06-21T10:51:06.567+01:002016-06-21T10:51:06.567+01:00One must hope, mr yardarm, that, come election day...One must hope, mr yardarm, that, come election day, Mr Farage has the bottle to put saomeone up against Saint Jo's annointed successor.

As Mr Mongoose says...Thanks for quoting me, Mr Ish. As Mr Mongoose says, there are no friends in politics, not even to themselves. Overlooked that reduction of funds for mental health "care in the community" leas to lunatics on the streets. I know a Social Worker for the mentally ill, not (of course) in a professional capacity and it's true. <br />This is the biter bit. UK mental health budget has been cut but we spend many times more towards relieving mental health problems of our continental neighbours. <br />Lack of precision led me to describe Jo as a poor girl; more accurately, an unfortunate victim of a murderous assault. I feel no grief but sympathise with her children. Not husband; he's dancing to someone else's tune in an undignified manner. <br />It may be that the "murderer" is insane, not responsible, but the revelation of past political views and private purchases is a ploy to demonise Brexit and is sinister. If you or I go mental and commit a crime, will we be judged by what we've read? I have a Koran and "I was Hitler's Chauffeur" on my bookshelf and I'm sure most people have similar varied collections. Being widely read can now define your level of badness. Which unwisely-purchased volume will be exhibit A, made known to the public before a trial? Somebody authorised the revelation of Mair's decades' old receipts for magazines and firearm drawings, conveniently found on the same day as the attack. Fair trial? My left ball it'll be a fair trial. <br />Mr I., we disagree on occasions. I'm neither nuanced nor intelligent but I can, I hope, reach conclusions based on reason and evidence. My right-wing views are merely those despised by the left; laissez faire capitalism, voluntarism, free speech, personal reponsibility, the right of a society to make and enforce it's own laws, private enterprise rather than state-run institutions and corporaions, the right of self-defence (one of the Jo witnesses said they couldn't tackle the attacker because he had a gun - where was his own gun? He can't have one, say politicians just like the one he could have otherwise defended.) <br />We must be pink and fluffy, disarmed, welcoming millions of illiterate military-age men who are too stupid to recognise when they're on grossly-overloaded boats, who will drain our wealth and who are antagonistic to Western concepts if they can even grasp them. We take orders from Germans embarrassed by the 3rd Reich, it's good to welcome those whose homes we've bombed and whose land we've shamefully invaded, vengeful and with low IQ's from hundreds of years of marrying their own cousins. <br />Call me a callous racist if you want. I don't care because I'm right. Here's a thing, the EU wants a European army but, racist that i am, I don't want my sons conscripted, vaporised by the Russians or trailing a rifle round the Middle East risking their lives defending Government oil interests (ahem, "spreading democracy.") <br />I don't want to be forced to pay for the result of other people's crappy choices when I have little enough for me and mine. I don't want to be beholden to unelected Commissars in Brussels. I won't be moved by the risible Saint Jo narrative. I won't be told what to do or think by public servants. <br />If we vote to remain then rational thought, pride, and self-preservation no longer hold sway and we'll deserve all we get. Here's hoping that there's enough of us on these islands to do the necessary because a metaphorical sword now will avoid real ones later. <br />-richardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-81410999750972765102016-06-19T23:33:42.994+01:002016-06-19T23:33:42.994+01:00For some reason or other the Brexit scenario remin...For some reason or other the Brexit scenario reminded me of this, involving another 'IDS', though a much better one I think, strange parallels:<br /><br />https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=ZbM_0hRTSiA<br /><br />R.I.P.
