Slumlord!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-18892925

So, Aberystwyth Slumlord, Emyr Davies has been done again for, well, being a Slumlord!

 

He has in the last few years had properties, including homeless hostels seized by the County Council due to the horrific conditions people were being forced to live in. Sadly, Emyr is not alone, he seems to be typical of an Aberystwyth Landlord, however, most manage to remain “Faceless” and its a mystery who owns a large swathe of rented property in the town.

 

He actually had the Gall to claim that he did not understand what “Newly refurbished” due to Welsh being his first language. Firstly, if that was true, then WHY did he put in words he did not understand? Secondly, I used to do business with him in an old job, he speaks English just fine, and being a Landlord and Hotelier will of course fully understand what Newly Refurbished means FFS.

 

What an Idiot.

Ian Tomlinson

So, once again, the Metropolitan Police have quite literally gotten away with Murder.

The Officer who caused the innocent passerby Ian Tomlinson’s death by striking him with a Baton has been cleared by the Jury.

The problem is, the Jury were not shown important evidence. Such as the fact that the Dr who performed the original Autopsy was under GMC (General Medical Council) investigation for either intentionally botching autopsys for the Met and others, or was simply unfit to carry them out. 2 further autopsys were then carried out, by I believe 2 different Pathologists, and both found the cause of death to be “Blunt force trauma as caused by a Police baton”

 

It turns out that the Officer in question actually has a history of violence and road rage offences, and actually left the Met in 2001 to evade a Disciplinary Investigation by the Police Complaints Commission after he was prosecuted. And was then, amazingly let back into the Met in 2004. A History of Violence is apparently no barrier to joining or rejoining the Met.

 

Ian’s family are looking at pursuing civil action, though it’s unclear whether they will be going after the Officer, or the Met, or both. I wish them the best of luck and hope they can at some point achieve Justice for Ian’s Murder.

 

This finding of not guilty is the result of a long line of botched attempts to hinder the investigation, delay proceedings till it was too late, and applying the wrong charges by the Met and the Crown Prosecution Service to protect the Officer from justice.

NHS “Reform”

If you are wondering what the NHS will look like after the “reforms” as Cameron is busy selling of vital services and departments to private companies, then take a look at the Olympics.

 

Look how well G4S is fulfilling its contract to provide security. Look at ATOS, and the fraudulent medicals they perform. Look at the Mandatory Work Programme, and the mass fraud that is endemic, especially the likes of A4E who look like they may be committing fraud in every region they have a contract, not just the one they lost the contract for.

 

Look at all them. That is how the butchered NHS is going to be run. Profit and Targets before Lives and Safety. Take a look at the recently privatised Out of Hours GP Service in Cornwall, during Jubilee Weekend, peoples lives were put at risk because the service provided is so poor, they have also been caught.. yes, you guessed it, committing Fraud, fiddling the books to appear as though they are performing better.

 

That sadly, is how Cameron wants the entire NHS to be run.

Anonymous

Thanks to the way the media portrays it (government influence perhaps?) Anonymous appears to be widely misperceived by the general public.

 

The common perception is of a small group of nerdy Hackers causing chaos and annoyance, committing electronic crimes and waging Cyber Warfare.

 

Anonymous has become something more than that. The Concept of being “Anonymous” to hide ones face from the Police, to express some of the political issues of V for Vendetta, its spread, its now a worldwide movement. From Nairobi to Buenos Aires, That beautiful (in)famous mask makes its appearance at protests. Guy Fawkes’s face is a fitting symbol, he attempted to be a force for change, for good, he attempted to bring down a wicked, tyrannical government that was oppressing people of his faith. He wanted to bring down the system and replace it with something better.

 

Within the so called Bastions of Civilisation, the highly developed, wealthy and “ethical” West, people are starving, dressing in rags, dying from easily treatable medical conditions. This is thanks to both Corporate and Political Greed. The Corporations have gone too far, have become too powerful and have far too much say in how our lives are led, and what laws are passed. Remember! Want a Digital Economy Act to be brought into Law? All it cost was a major Holywood Millionaire taking that vile, corrupt dickhead, Peter Mandellson out for Dinner and slipping him a brown bag full of cash.

 

The System is corrupt and broken. The Mask makes it harder for Police to track and gather intelligence on Protesters. It keeps them from knowing who we are. There is power in anonyminity and you can see the Anger growing. It’s just not the Black Flag Active Service Units they want tagged and bagged on their data systems. Normal innocent people, Social Workers, Nurses, Fathers and Mothers, Factory Technicions, people who have not, and will not commit a crime, loot, riot, people who have simply turned up hoping their voice will be heard in innocent protest. Because they dare to show dissent against the Government, and its Political Classes, the Police want to know everything about them, it wants electronic files of information, purely for using our democratic right to peaceful protest!

 

Anonyminity is a weapon, and it appears to make the Authorities very nervous. Afterall they don’t know who is under the mask. the current British system is all about information control and warefare, social engineering and propoganda. Hate filled policy after hate filled policy, declaring war on the poor. Who would ever have believed that in 2012 the United Kingdom would have desperately needed and oversubscribed Food Banks?

 

David Cameron, his cabinet of wankerish privilaged, tax dodging millionaires and morally and politically reprehensible turncoats and ideological traitors like that prat Clegg, have absolutely no experience of real life, they cannot legislate for the Electorate of Great Britain in 2012, they haven’t a clue what life is like for us, they don’t know what a pint of milk costs, “Cook” or “Nanny” deals with all that malarkey.

 

The Cabinet, the Houses of Parliament and Great Britain’s political classes are sick, infected, diseased, and incurable. The Parties churn out an endless stream of plastic, factory generic Candidates to stand for election, no experience of real life, of what people have to face, they follow an easy and simple route: Graduate from Uni with a law or politics degree > Walk straight into a “Research” or similar job with their Party of choice, then work for dues for a couple of years before they get selected. Carbon copies of non entities, people with no personality, no will to rule the country for the people, or to help them, because PARTY IS KING.

 

That is the state of British Politics. The Voters, the people the Government is supposed to serve are last on the list (If we are even on it) The current Government is running GB PLC purely for the Conservative Party and its friends best interests, not the countries, not the economy, not the voters. When New Labour was in power, they ran GB PLC purely for New Labour….. The Political Parties are fetishised to an astonishing degree, it is why the Whip’s exist, because without them, Ministers might dare to vote according to their beliefs, their morals, ethics and conscience, and those things may not coincide with what is best for the Party. Because the Party is King.

 

It all needs dismantling and rebuilt. You cannot fix something that is so diseased, you have to start again. And by Legislation, or civil insurrection and rebellion, the Political Classes MUST be exterminated as a force. Ban the typical route of graduate>researcher>stand for election.

 

As Anonymous Protesters say:

EXPECT US

 

 

Even the Polish Parliament legendary entered wearing Anonymous Masks to show solidarity and to protest the passing of another Corporate Act to remove our Civil Rights for Corporate Benefit.

 

Politics and Movies

These are 3 of the films that I find tie in quite nicely with a lot of my political beliefs.

• V for Vendetta
  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/
  This film has a lot to say about how easily politicians are able to manipulate the public through fear, despite the original graphic novel being written in the early 80’s, its message and content tie in wonderfully with now, as Fear is pumped out at us through media outlets daily. It also points out the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, the system is so broken, it cannot be repaired, but must be completely dismantled, and that sometimes, a “monster” is needed to do that.
  
  
• Kick Ass
  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1250777/
  The politics to this are I suppose are more subtle, though the claims made about them are highly amusing, they range from “This is an Illuminati message” through to “Libertarian”. The main message is actually that we are all, each and every one of us responsible for our society, As the hero says “with no power comes no responsibility… except that’s not true” as Edmund Burke said “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”
  
  I don’t actually see why a society cannot be cohesive and look after each other whilst also retaining and protecting everyones individuality. It is where the left and right go wrong. Hardline Lefties would like our society to resemble the Borg Collective, whilst Hardline Righties would like our society to resemble the Wild West, just a union of “Lone Gunslingers” the ideal solution lies in the middle.
  
  
• Fight Club
  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/
  Ahh, good old FC. The message of this, is that normal everyday people should stop being pushed around by large corporations, that we should again retain an element of individuality, in a world where marketing managers want us to join their particular Borg Collective. It is about how we are chained by debt, credit cards, the latest fashions, and how we should resist that. Interestingly, for such a “political” and a controversial political film at that, there seems to be very little mention of Government/The Authorities, this is all about the battle between normal human being’s Souls and Big Business, its more an anti corporate film than Political if anything, but its lessons can be applied to Politics.
  
  Rather wonderfully, the Right/Republicans in the United States were foaming at the mouth over this, and claimed that it was a “Fascist’s Handbook”. If that is the case, then please, send me my stylish Uniform with attention grabbing Insignia, for I must be a Fascist.
  
  By the means with which they grab us, whether a credit card with enticing APR, or a supermarket clubcard, these corporations are gathering and maintaining absolutely incredible data and information about our daily lives, and of course, with information comes power and to a point, control. People are rightly getting very worked up about various means the UK Government desires to spy and control our internet and other data use and habits (the proposed legislation includes the authority to scan and store postcards!) and all the other ways in which they want to access our data from various sources.
  
  They get worked up about this, as they should, but nobody stops for one second to think about what Tesco is holding on them right now, thanks to the Club Card they blithely signed up for to get the odd discount voucher. Tesco’s knows what you buy, how often you buy it, it knows what bank accounts or credit cards you use to buy it with, and can predict a stunning amount of stuff about you, accurately. Last year, one US Supermarket, I forget which, has become so accurate at using these methods with our data, that a young girl who had recently discovered she was pregnant received discount vouchers for Nappies, etc, before she had even told anyone she was expecting!
  
  Fight Club also get’s Kudos from me, for introducing me to one of the best songs ever written, to a stunning backdrop, no less.

The destruction of the banking system

The Work Programme

Even worse Stories are coming out now. Certain Providers such as Maximum are attempting, via threats of sanction and long term “cleaning jobs for free” to force its “customers” into going Self Employed and actively defrauding HMRC.

They are even providing advice on the best way to defraud HMRC. WTF. And the DWP appears to be doing nothing as usual. Absolute disgrace.

Doncaster

Sadly, I wasted spent 3 years living near Doncaster, in a village called Stainforth. It is where the mine, Hatfield Main is located.

 

The village was a complete hell hole and was used by Donny Council as a dumping ground for its absolute worst tenants, the scummiest chav’s one could meet.

 

Even decent people had a massive grudge against the Police there, as being a pit town it was heavily involved in the Miners Strike, and saw some major Police Brutality. Horrid, dirty, trashy place, and yet, it did have some beauty.

This was my and the exes house and the view behind it, looking towards the Canal.

Doncaster did in fairness have some nice bits, but sadly as well as very much deserving its “Chav Capital” status, its an incredibly racist and intolerant place. Donny of course, elected England’s first English Democrat Party Mayor. The ED are basically the BNP for middle class racists who don’t wish to rub shoulders with the proles of the BNP or EDL.

 

One was very amused that the Mayor, a former Head Teacher appeared to lack research skills, or indeed possess much of an Intellect – maybe on joining the English Democrats one has to have brain cells removed? Most of his Manifesto for which he was elected on turned out to be Illegal, the rest would have seen Donny Council facing extremely expensive legal challenges for decades to come.

 

At least the country has seen how poor English Democrats are at running a council and hopefully this damaged the party, though this was 2 or 3 years ago.

Escaping Rural Hell

I am always open to suggestions and advice for attempting to again escape from the Aberystwyth Black Hole back to Civilisation so I can have a life once more.

 

So please comment with suggestions. I have no clue how to get the funds. The benefit I am currently on does not allow me to apply for budgeting loans which is a pain in the buttocks.

 

Rural hell is no fun at all, being stuck in a small town full of small people who are burdened with antiquated ideas and philosophy, and annoying habits.

 

The pubs are full of people my age just wasting their lives away, every day/all day/evening. No real existence, just work, if they do, and several pints a day, such a waste of money. I do not see the attraction of living that existence, its not a life, propping a bar up, yet its a common past time round here, people with no imagination, no ambition, no desire, no will. It’s the Aber Curse. Once you get embraced by that existence, you will wake up one day and your 55 and wondering where the hell your life went, and what happened for the last 25 years.

 

One needs to flee.

Extradition Treaty

It really is time the dreadful, one sided and completely unfair Extradition Treaty was put on hold pending investigation and a renegotiation.

Richard O'Dwyer from Sheffield for example. His “crime” was running a website that showed links to content some of which breached copyright, he did not host any of it, he has never visited the US, his site was never hosted in the US, he never targeted a US audience. British Police have never shown any interest in attempting to prosecute him for any alleged crimes, indeed similar sites have in fact won their trials.


Yet, Richard is now fighting extradition to the US. We have a treaty that allows the US to kidnap any British Citizen, whenever they want, for any reason (or none!) even if you have never intentionally done anything to the US. I say Anti American stuff sometimes, if what I have said in any way breaches the laws of the United States, despite being in the UK, they could have me extradited to face charges. THAT is how far reaching the treaty is, it effectively allows the United States to impose and enforce US Law on British Citizens living within the United Kingdom.

You might think the UK Appeal Judge would not allow such stuff to happen? Well….. thats the other brilliant part of the Treaty – the US does not have to show ANY Prima Facie evidence of a crime. It is literally the case that a US Prosecutor will contact the UK Court System and say “we think he/she is a bad’un, honest guv, god’s truth, would I lie?” And that’s' it. Due Legal Process eh. So much for civil rights.

Shiny Head

There is nothing like a freshly shaven bonce, and thanks to my personal barber, I once more have the most stylish, and never out of fashion of haircuts, the shaved head.

 

Take a look around at all the people in positions of power, making the world that bit nastier, politicians, bankers, CEO’s of multination corporations, not a freshly shaved bonce amongst them. There is I feel a lesson to be learned in that.

 

Maybe having all that hair is in some way interrupting their brains!

And remember this important message, in case the inevitable is thought by anyone:

 

Chickens

One day, Comrades we shall live in a fair and equal world where Chicken’s do not face oppression, rumour and nosyness when they decide to cross a road.
One day my feathered brethren, one day…..
