UK Jails Too Cushy To Break Out Of

Jail Too Sweet to Leave

Yet another reason for anybody living in the UK to start emigration right away:

Inmates enjoy such comfort in jail that they are ignoring chances to escape, a prison officers’ leader has claimed.

In one example, a drug dealer regularly broke into a Yorkshire jail over a six-month period, using a ladder to climb the walls and supply inmates with drugs and mobile phones.

The intruder walked across the yard with the ladder and used it to climb up to a cell window, which had been pulled apart with a crowbar and covered by a dummy grille.

Glyn Travis, the assistant general secretary of the Prison Officers’ Association, said: “It was an extraordinary case because none of the prisoners inside tried to escape when no doubt they had the opportunity.

“It tells me there’s something wrong in society when people are breaking into prisons to bring in drugs, but the prisoners are quite happy to stay inside.”

Do they employ guards at any of these prisons?  Apparently that’s one really cushy job.  But listen to the prisoners:

Inmates at a top security prison recently told Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, that conditions there were like a “holiday camp”.

They said they enjoyed the use of satellite television and video game consoles as well as their free bed and board.

Prisoners receive wages topped up by bonuses for good behaviour, while drugs are sometimes cheaper in jail than on the streets.

It is understood that there have also been examples of prostitutes being smuggled into HMP Sudbury, a Category D prison, in Derbyshire.\

They get paid to sit around and play video games, take drugs, and have sex with prostitutes?  No wonder none of them want to break out.

Priests Who Wear Collar At Risk of Attack

Saudi Arabia?  Tajikistan? No - England:

collar.jpg

Members of the clergy are being advised to take off their dog collars when they are on their own, to reduce the risk of being attacked.

National Churchwatch, which provides personal safety advice, says vicars are attacked more often than professions such as GPs and probation officers.

The organisation’s Nick Tolson said all clergy should consider the advice, including the Archbishop of Canterbury.

In the past decade, five vicars have been murdered.

And a 2001 academic study also found that 12% of clergy had suffered some form of violence.

In a survey of 90 London clergy Mr Tolson carried out last year, nearly half said they had been attacked in the previous 12 months.

One vicar, from Willesden, north-west London, said his vicarage had been machine-gunned - but still did not believe he had experienced violence.

I don’t know about you - but I would consider being machine-gunned as experiencing violence.  Its like these liberal twits in the C of E WANT to be gunned down.

But just what are they trying to hide in this little factoid:

 Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was set upon by three Asian youths shouting anti-Christian abuse when he confronted them for rowdy behaviour outside St George-in-the-East church in Shadwell, leaving him with two black eyes and cuts and bruises.

His wife, Janina Ainsworth, 56, took Palm Sunday services yesterday after Canon Ainsworth was re-admitted to hospital for his injuries. She said: “It is obvious that it does contain a religious element.

Asian yoooofs?  Chinese?  Japanese?  Mongolian?  Well, we do get some idea about the meaning of Asian from the vicar’s wife:

“Normally community relations here are very good. We have had very strong messages of support from the East London Mosque and Tower Hamlets Mosque with whom we’ve got good relations.

“Clearly the Muslim community is very shocked. These individuals were under the influence and this was a random act.”

Now why would the mosques be sending messages of support?  Perhaps Asian is code for Pakistani?  Clearly its code for Muslim.  But the whole thing wasn’t really a surprise:

Gravestones in nearby St Dunstan’s Church in Stepney are also regularly vandalised and locals say drink and drugs problems, combined with religious differences, fuel the attacks.

Parishioner Susan Crocker said: “It is not out of the blue, they broke the glass last Easter - it’s a recurrent problem.”

At this point I am almost certain that I will see St. Paul’s converted into a mosque before I kick the bucket.  They will probably leave Westminster Abby alone as some sort of English history museum, but there won’t be any crosses or anything “Christian” allowed in there.

England is lost as a Western, Christian country.

Man Dead 8 Years Found in Apartment

While his severely mentally ill roommate continued to live there with the body all that time?
clipped from www.smh.com.au
The body of a man, believed to be dead for nearly a decade, has
been found in a UK flat, where a council tenant continued to
live.
The body of the tenant’s former lodger was discovered by council
workers on a sofa in the lounge room after neighbours reported a
foul smell.
Police believe the dead man was in his 70s.
Police initially arrested the tenant living in the unit but are
no longer treating the death as suspicious.
They believe the elderly tenant failed to report the death
because he suffers severe mental health problems.
Bristol Coroner’s Court will open an inquest today and Bristol
City Council has launched an internal inquiry into how the corpse
went unnoticed for so long.
A spokesman for the council says it’s suspected the body was
there for at least eight years.

Eurabia Coming To Britain - Archbishop of Canterbury

Here’s the surrender of Europe to the caliphate in microcosm. What’s your guess as to how long it will be before Westminster Cathedral becomes a mosque?
clipped from news.bbc.co.uk
The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of certain aspects of Sharia law in the UK “seems unavoidable”.

Dr Rowan Williams
Dr Williams argues that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.
For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.
He says Muslims should not have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.
But Dr Williams said an approach to law which simply said “there’s one law for everybody and that’s all there is to be said, and anything else that commands your loyalty or allegiance is completely irrelevant in the processes of the courts - I think that’s a bit of a danger”.
“There’s a place for finding what would be a constructive accommodation with some aspects of Muslim law, as we already do with some other aspects of religious law.”

British Muslim Medics Refuse To Follow Hygiene Rules

Universities and NHS trusts fear many more will refuse to co-operate with new Department of Health guidance, introduced this month, which stipulates that all doctors must be “bare below the elbow”. The measure is deemed necessary to stop the spread of infections such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have killed hundreds.
clipped from www.moonbattery.com
Rules don’t apply to Britain’s Muslim colonizers — not even hygiene rules:

Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.

We certainly don’t want to put saving lives before obsequiously indulging Muslims. If we do, we’ll get sued:

Documents from Birmingham University reveal that some students would prefer to quit the course rather than expose their arms, and warn that it could leave trusts open to legal action.

Proclaims the Islamic Medical Association:

No practising Muslim woman — doctor, medical student, nurse or patient — should be forced to bare her arms below the elbow.

We’re willing to give up our liberty for political correctness and dhimmitude, why not medical hygiene?

Hilllarycare Preview 2155

Mixed Sex Wards? Oh come on - there won’t be any more private or semi-private hospital rooms. You will be on a ward and its going to be with whoever they want to stuff in there. Women and Men together? Its cost-effective. After all - the health care bureaucrats need their year-end bonuses.And don’t you just love the weaselly worded response from the Health Minister. Does it remind you of someone parsing the meaning of the word “is”?
clipped from blogs.telegraph.co.uk
Lord Darzi, the Health Minister, told the Lords yesterday: “The Government is committed to single sex accommodation, not single sex wards – they are two different things. The only way we are going to have single sex wards in the NHS is to build the whole of the NHS into single rooms (really?)…that is an aspiration that cannot be met.
“We used to have single sex wards 15 years ago but medicine has moved on.”
Note his words carefully. There is no mention of mixed sex wards – only “accommodation”. In other words, the Government is no longer committed to the provision of “single sex wards” but to “single sex accommodation”, a piece of fudging which means, in essence, that mixed sex wards will continue to exist

Europe’s Experience With Wind Power

The bottom line is that the renewables debate, and investment in it, is as much about ideology and political belief as it is about economics and environmental issues. When the real cost of turbine power as a major player toward our future power needs is assessed, the answer just ain’t “blowing in the wind”.
clipped from www.tcsdaily.com
Despite public subsidies to the UK wind industry of over $500 million the government has so far only seen that such a massive investment provided less than half of one percent of the UK’s electricity needs.
Even in Europe’s windiest country, the winds are just “too variable”, with most turbines consistently under-performing. Having analysed figures submitted to the UK electricity watchdog Ofgem on every farm’s load factor, Engineering Consultant Jim Oswald explained to the BBC, “It’s the power swings that worry us. Over a 20-hour period you can go from almost 100 percent wind output to 20 percent.”
the regularly repeated claim that Denmark generates 20 percent of its electricity demand from wind sources is highly misleading. That 20 percent of Denmark’s electricity is not supplied continuously from wind power. Such is the variability of supply that it relies heavily on the proximity of near neighbors Norway and Sweden to take their excess capacity.

Britain Slips from Fully “Free” Economic Countries

Just why would you believe that the government would be able to spend all this money better than its individual citizens? Well, they have “free” health care, and “free” pensions and lost of “free” stuff that they get by shoveling 45% of their entire economy into the maw of bureaucrats.And then they wonder why they aren’t happy? And American is marching right behind the socialists in the Democrat party into the same silly mess.
clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk

Britain has slipped out of the ranks of fully “free” countries in this year’s Heritage Index of Economic Freedom, reflecting the sharp rise in the tax burden and ballooning state sector.

The ever harsher verdict on Britain comes as Mr Brown’s tax and spend policies begin to reshape the basic structure of the UK plc, transforming it from one of Europe’s leanest fiscal states to one of the most bloated.

“Total government expenditures, including consumption and transfer payments, are very high. Government spending has been rising since the 1990s and in the most recent year equaled 44.7 percent of GDP,” said the UK country report.

The winners as always are the island states of Hong Kong and Singapore, the poster economies offering open ports, minimal capital controls, and the rule of law.

Ireland (3) has held its place as Europe’s beacon of freedom. Now the playground of hedge funds, private equity, and billionaires, it is unrecognizable from the super-tax backwater of the 1980s.

Grandma Is Keeping Me Warm

Apparently - soon to be a literal truth, not a figurative one.
clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk

Mourners shivering in a chapel are to be kept warm using “body heat” generated from cremating their loved ones.

The idea will be tried at a crematorium near Manchester where grieving friends and relatives have complained of the cold during services.

Tameside council will use heat from cremating bodies to keep the mourners warm at Dukinfield Crematorium.

Town hall chiefs say the heat generated will be enough to power the boiler and light the chapel. But they admit it is a “sensitive” issue and have promised to consult clergy and the wider community.

Robin Monk, the environment chief of Tameside Council, said: “I’m not sure how people will react, but we don’t want to upset anyone. We will carry out full consultation with priests, vicars and the public before a decision is taken.”
