It's a slow news/new thread day on SH so let's see if we can liven things up a bit.
What the fuck's going on with the the UK at the moment?
3 current news items stand out more than anything else at the moment and it worries the hell out of me.
I can't be bothered to post the links (for star's benefit because life is too short but everyone probably knows the stories anyway).
MP Denis MacShane resigned his seat
A referee is to be investigated about alleged racist comments to a player
Wife beater sentenced to life after stabbing wife though the heart
Let's take them in order.
MacShane is apparently not to be prosecuted for STEALING over £7500 from tax payers in false claims because of 'Parliamentry Privilege'. The DPP says his already admission in writing is not admissable as evidence in court (and he has paid the money back) so why not prosecute anyway and let him plead guilty???? No PP disrespected there and the MP concerned says he wants to be accountable for his actions!
He even falsified invoices passing them off as coming from someone else :shock:
You try doing that with your VAT or tax return and if caught out, see where it gets you - in jail for certain!
Metropolitan Police are to waste an enormous amont of money, yet again, investigating alleged 'racist' comments to a player at a football match. If the player concerned is unhappy with earning as much in one week in a freak show as most honest decent citizens earn in a year, tell him to get another fucking job, FFS.
Now,the last one. A woman complains to the Police that she is being beaten by her animal of a husband. Perhaps because the police are so far up their own arses deciding whether to prosecute a football referee or finding excuses not to prosecute an MP for fiddling the tax payer, this arsehole is thought by the CPS not to be worth prosecution following which he stabs his young wife through the heart with a kitchen knife 3 weeks later.
All this whilst investigating Sir Jimmy apparently molestng a (then) 18 year old groupie on the set of TOTP who is now on a compo mission.
Something is seriously wrong.
Who can fx it?
