Sir Hugh Orde, President of ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) and a former Police Chief was displeased by the Home Secretary's annual address to the ACPO conference in Manchester yesterday.
Theresa May revealed that cuts across the crime-fighting spectrum meant that public satisfaction targetting would be scrapped. Police needed to just fight crime rather than be seen to be fighting crime, she inferred. Sir Hugh suggested mainstreaming and sharing police resources and scrapping specialist units. 'We just don't have the numbers' he said.
We can't say 'we've got
your number' any more. We
don't have the numbers.
Tough on the Old Bill,
tough on the causes of the
Old Bill, Home Sec. warns.

Gove gives up-we hope! 19.07.2010.
19th July. 2010.
Fifty State schools, rather than the hundreds anticipated by Michael Gove, the Conservative Education Secretary, are on track to becoming 'Academies'. Gove has been rushing through legislation to 'allow' schools to become academies, which would be funded by a blend of public money (yours and mine) religious and charitable funding, parent's organisations and business organisations. These 'new' schools would parasitise the perfectly good 'old ' ones, taking their buildings, their teaching staff and their pupils.
Gove wrote begging letters to Heads of schools in May. Today, teaching unions will lobby Parliament in protest at his plans, which would involve halting the Building For Schools prgramme started by New Labour to rebuild 715 schools.
Gove's Cuckoo pupil
plans may not yet be hatched as
Heads spot intrusion.
Mickey Mouse schools
may flop as Gove is
given Educated miss.

Barrack Obama, the US president has bunkered himself down into the White House as people's anger turns from BP to him for his hands-off approach and inactivity, for failing to do anything compelling, for fiddling while Rome burns.

Veil ban; the ugly face of Islamophobia 04.07.2010.
European Islamophobia 04. 07.2010.
Belgium has squeezed through a ban on the face veil even though the number of women wearing them in that country is so small as to be insinificant, reflecting the rise of anti-Islamic prejudice which is sweeping the Western world. France's Sarkozy intends to follow suit, under the guise of liberating women;- by threatening those caught wearing it with a term of imprisonment!
Belgian blanket ban
on burqa belies base and
barbaric beliefs.
France threatens prison
to 'free' women from so-called
prison of the Burqa.
Dark day for the world
as Belgium draws a legal veil
over those with Niqab.

Bliar burns hole in our pocket. 18.07.2010.
Security for Tony Blair, the ex-Prime Minister and now 'Middle East Envoy' costs the taxpayer over £250,000 per annum. Claims of more than £1,200 per night on accomodation were made by security officers, running up a bill of more than £20,000 during a two-week holiday taken by Blair in Borneo.
T.B. is protected by Metropolitan Police Officers wherever he goes.
He earns millions of pounds and dollars for his talks and appearances, not least from his book royalties, owns lots of property and is filthy rich.
His Blairing, his lies
his ill-gotten gains cost us,
the taxpayer, dear.
TB spreads throughout
the Middle East. Taxpayer
pays for wealth disease.
