  • Prisons......Judges and Cronies
    Unfortunately, Spain is home to all of the EU’s top five employment blackspots ...and another two Spanish regions are in the top 10. Elsewhere, Spanish policemen are facing long prison sentences for ‘torturing’ two Brits in custody in Mallorca. A captain and three police officers stand charged with intimidating and viciously attacking the two Brits, who had been arrested after a pub brawl. In the UK news David Cameron has not only been stung by a jellyfish whilst on holdiay but A Tory crony of David Cameron put in charge of a £60 billion quango was dramatically fired last night after it was revealed that he was declared bankrupt for not paying his taxes....and Nick Clegg’s controversial taxpayer-funded election strategist was censured by a watchdog over his role in the awarding of a multi-million-pound contract. Why do top politicians get mixed up with these dodgy people? There's a very worrying article written about UK prison Wormwood Scrubs.Open drug deals are mentioned. Muslim fanatics are evident. The prison is on a knife edge and our repeated warnings to the Ministry of Justice have been brushed aside, writes ANGELA LEVIN. Judges are in the news again. Senior judge Sir Paul Coleridge has called for action to ‘stem the tide’ of family breakdown. This is set against the revelation Britain has more failed marriages than almost any other country. What is happening to UK morals? Eleanor Jackson, 23, was taken from her biological father Frank Humphreys, 51, when she was just 17 months old, Carlisle Crown Court heard. Later, she traced him as an adult and the pair began a sexual relationship. The headline speaks of hime being a paedophile. Is this right? ...and there is anger at a proposed law shake-up that would 'let off Bulger killers' Lord McNally, the new head of the youth justice quango, is the most senior serving figure to suggest raising the age of criminal responsibility from ten to 12.

  • Sex and the city (of Westminster)
    Here in Spain......Well-organized Romanian gangs make up to €100 a day for each person they force out on to Spain s streets.......A hard-hitting study claims poverty is trapping thousands of pensioners on the Costa del Sol.......Spanish police are hunting the killer of wealthy jeweller Andrew Bush from Bristol who it is believed was ambushed by an ex-girlfriend.......Spanish olive oil giant Deoleo lands in British hands In the Uk papers we read that sex harassment is rife in the House of Common Dozens of young political aides have claimed to be on the receiving end of unwanted advances from older men. Elsewhere we read of shocking gay sex texts of top Tory who bragged of 'cute boys' in the penthouse claimed on expenses. ....and the first gay clergyman to wed plunges Church into crisis. Canon Jeremy Pemberton married Laurence Cunnington under new laws. New laws allowing same-sex marriages pushed through by PM last month........ There is a story highlighting how Liberal party, police and MI5 hid MP Cyril Smith's child abuse. For four decades, the depraved 29st MP for Rochdale was free to prey on vulnerable children as young as eight. As this story is written Police are set to hand paedophile photos of a young girl he abused......the girl's family are fighting claims by Dorset Police that they have to give her abuser his computer back - along with photos of her - because it illegal to delete them.

  • Parking, Fiddling - I smell a rat!
    Esperanza Aguirre, former president of Madrid and an influential figure in Spain's ruling Popular Party(PP), has got herself into a spot of trouble. At 4pm on Thursday she allegedly illegally parked her car on a bus lane on the capital’s busy Gran Via, to quickly withdraw money from a cash machine. Traffic police apprehended her moments after, but the tough-talking Aguirre refused to pull her Toyota Verso to one side after they had issued the fine. Once the officers had handed over her ID and driving license, Aguirre put her foot on the gas and drove off, knocking over one of the traffic policeman's motorbike in the process. Spain is the world's largest olive producer and national food giant Deoleo is the world's biggest seller of the liquid gold. However, the food giant which notched up revenues of around €800 million ($1,100 million) in 2013 could soon become prey to an Italian fund, This was reported in Spain's El Mundo newspaper. Deoleo's major shareholders, including several cash-strapped Spanish banks, are looking to offload 31 percent the food group. Yet another MP is caught fiddling expenses. MPs brushed aside the official Standards Commissioner’s claim that Maria Miller should repay £45,000, saying that all she had to do was apologise and pay back £5,800. When will this fiddling stop? In France, the far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen said on Friday it would prevent schools from offering non-pork alternatives to Muslim pupils in the 11 towns it won in local elections, saying such arrangements were contrary to France's secular values. Francec has a strict secular tradition enforceable by law, but faith-related demands have risen in recent years, especially from the country's five-million-strong Muslim minority, the largest in Europe. Dr Bruce Perry, of Houston, Texas, said ADHD is a label that only describes the symptoms of various physiological problems. This will be interesting! ....and a monster rat has been found in someone's attic....

  • Spain's Confused Picture
    Spanish news first.....The homeless in Spain is growing as the number of court-ordered expulsions reached 67,189 in 2013, according to judicial figures and street demonstrations against government’s education cuts have been infiltrated by far-left groups. There was a major alert when a message sent via Twitter by the 112 emergency service in the Canaries raised the alarm, with a report that a passenger plane had landed in the sea two miles off the coast of Gran Canaria. Just like the Spanish economy the top division in Spanish football, La Liga, is on its knees with debt yet Real Madrid and FC Barcelona remain two of the world's richest clubs. What's going on? In the UK 'What a farce': School under fire for high levels of absent teachers holds public meeting to discuss the issue…but the head fails to attend. Peter Maddocks, the head, failed to show up to the meeting - arranged following a petition by parents at Ysgol y Gader school in Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Wales. The Metropolitan Police should take on one ethnic minority officer for every white recruit, says Hogan-Howe in new 50/50 recruitment drive iIn the wake of accusations that the Metropolitan Police is still ‘institutionally racist’, The Commissioner wants to change the predominantly white male make-up of the force. The BBC could be sued for £1 MILLION over the Jeremy Clarkson racism allegations. The presenter made a 'slope' remark on Top Gear Burma special Indian-born Somi Guha, 36, left, has instructed lawyers after Clarkson used the word 'slope' - a derogatory term for people of Asian descent. Ex-Ukip councillor and wife avoid jail for £25,000 benefit fraud. The Cllr Peter Lagoda and wife Maria, both 59, admitted giving Fenland District Council a false address in a bid to claim thousands in extra benefits. How do they get away with it?

  • UK Madness? All in this together?
    Spain's marchers are disgusted with the Government as Spain battles the austerity measures. However the wine industry is becoming a world leader.The UK austerity measures have allowed the BBC ever more opulence as they renew their carpets..... Tens of thousands of pounds will be spent re-vamping the sixth and seventh floors of New Broadcasting House with a design based around the style of EastEnders. Meanwhile, The Bank of England spent 7,990 on 756 bottles of champagne in 2013 ; a rise of 94 per cent from 2012 when it bought 444 bottles for 4,126.... and details of how the military abuse probe in Iraq racked up a 27million bill emerged after lawyers dramatically dropped sickening slurs that captives were executed in UK custodyIn the UK the judges are becoming ever more bizarre as they allow a gambling conman a suspended sentence-Marc Burnett, 30, of Preston, Lancashire, swindled money while working as a senior banking advisor for Lloyds Bank. A Koran teacher who abused a girl of 11 also seemingly got off too lightly. If this wasn't bad enough ;Derek Rossi, 58, lifelong criminal, had his first conviction at age 13, has been handed three life sentences since 1984, with most counts including armed robbery and attempted murder.. What a farce! If it all starts from an early age then let's look at the value of an Asbo.....Morgan Halstead, 14, terrorised residents in Grantham, Lincolnshire, for more than a year. His Asbo orders his mother or father to go with him if he meets more than two friends in public. Big deal!

  • It's Time to Change!
    What is happening in UK schools? We're looking at Obesity as Coventry sees a 10-year-old who weighs 20 STONE-an unnamed Year 6 pupil tipped the scales at 19st 7lbs,- making him one of the heaviest children in the country. This is shown as another study shows that chewing food more slowly can prevent overeating and help shrink your waistline. We're told why fish will keep you active: Eating plenty in old age can reduce chances of medical or physical illness. C'mon kids. Get healthy. Indeed, what is happening in these UK schools? A schoolboy has won £15k compensation after enduring a cut to eyebrow from DVD case flung by a teacher! The payout was one of 34 handed to injured teachers, and students, in Essex between 2011 and 2013 – they received a total of £1.05million. Is it just about money? A lazy father with 18 children by 10 women says his human rights have been violated after council refused to give him six-bedroom home. The council refused to give him a six-bedroom home. Peter Rolfe, 64, says the town hall has a ‘duty of care’ to upgrade him and his large brood to a six-bedroom home on the Isle of Wight. We often criticise the overpayment of executives. Can you believe this? An NHS fatcat quits - but will still be paid £300,000 over the next two years: Details emerge on same day thousands of nurses will learn their pay has been cut. Jo-Anne Wass, 46, a senior director at NHS England, is a close ally of the CEO - and man with no shame - Sir David Nicholson, who has been forced to retire early.

  • They're at it again...Co-op Bonus, MPS, Judges
    Set agains the Crimean Crisis and the disappearance of a Malaysian jet near Vietnam,........ The Co-op is recommending that chief executive Euan Sutherland, who joined in May 2013 should get a package worth a total of £3.66million. Here we go yet again with Bankers, Meanwhile, just day after Immigration Minister James Brokenshire condemned the ‘wealthy metropolitan elite’ for using cheap labour, his boss confirmed that she employs a foreign home help. Estate Agents and MPs ready to keep us in the mess to which we have become accustomed. They even claim for milk in the tea on their expenses! The Liberal Democrat Vince Cable was accused of being 'crass' and 'insulting' to teachers after suggesting they are to blame for a lack of good careers advice in schools. Teachers have had quite a week with one resorting to taping up the mouths of the children in their charge.Then the girl, who was just 15 when she eloped with maths teacher Forrest, 31, is now said to be 'ridiculously happy' after falling for a 20-year-old PE teaching assistant. We can always rely on the judges in the UK to be consistent and coherent. Whilst Lord Justice Fulford was a key backer of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) which police suspect of abusing children on an 'industrial scale' another judge banned Samuel Lees, 22, from Colchester, Essex, was banned and fined 500 pounds after he was seen by a police officer creating a ‘large wave’ that left children screaming after they got wet.

  • Make the Punishment Fit the Crime
    Fusilier Lee Rigby, 25, was 'mutilated, almost decapitated and murdered' by Michael Adebowale, 22, and Michael Adebolajo, 29, who ambushed him outside his barracks in Woolwich, South East London on May 22 last year.It's very difficult to not hate the perpetrators of such evil. RIP Lee Rigby. All this set against British soldiers being banned from training for snowy conditions at Norwegian base because health and safety rules deem it too COLD! Schoolboy, Henry Tattersal, hanged himself after running up £420 bill on his mum's credit card. This is such a sad story and hard to realise the tragic event could have happened over this amount of money. He seems to have been such a likeable lad. RIP Henry. Please keep an eye on your children wherever you are.. There is a legal bid to overturn 'what is being called a joke' four-year sentence handed to thug, Lewis Gill, who was sentenced to just four years in prison over the death of Andrew Young, Of course the sentence was ridiculous. Out in two years after killing someone? These judges need to go on a few courses and realise they are making a mockery of the judicial system. A Russian tourist has been left with horrific injuries by Indian mob after he stupidly rang a sacred bell in India. You cannot justify this in the name of any religion. Whether he was naive or not doesn't warrant such treatment. Another totally inappropriate sentence when a Football coachwas jailed for nine years for killing two schoolgirls. These two lovely young girls have been killed and in today's environment he'll be out in 5 years.. This should have been 20 years. Finally, British Gas has blown £25,000 on a party at an hotel whilst sacking 158 staff. Workers were sent to a training event at the Belfry near Oxford and in return enjoyed a three-course meal with wine and an overnight stay. How the other half lives and continues to live during these austere times...

  • Lack of Discipline and Discipline
    .Police are hunting a murderer on the run after he absconded whilst on day release! Who authorises this lunacy?  According to the police he poses no threat to the public. How can a murderer not pose a risk to the public? The lunatics have certainly taken over the asylum and they are on day release in Rochdale.Meanwhile, a teenager threatened to burn his family's house down and knife his mother because she got him the wrong kind of TRAINERS for Christmas. He got a suspended 21 day sentence! Is the judge a social worker?  Is this a punishment? I doubt if it will be a deterrent.Then a boy of 10 has taken a Neknominate challenge and downed Nando's sauce, cream, mayo and vodka. The boy from Calderdale, West Yorkshire, was filmed by friends guzzling the nauseating cocktail after he was dared to take part. A girl of 13 was at her boarding school and her mum received her text messages by accident. She is reported to have said, "If I was to take this communication at face value, my lovely girl had morphed into a swearing, smoking, sex-mad escapologist with incredibly poor grammar;Should parents be reading these texts? Well, victims spoke of their terror as a Roma child sex gang are jailed. Again, pitifully low sentencing for raping offencesFinally, a man fined;100 after being caught on camera URINATING on a war memorial. This shows the contempt and disrespect for those who gave their lives for our freedom.

  • That Sinking Feeling
    It's pretty obvious the EU is not entirely to blame for floods! Brussels chief insists this as Cameron vows not to cut flood defence jobs at the Environment Agency. Even Alan Titchmarch has been blamed as atrocious storms hit the UK and America. As Bill Roche and Dave Lee travis are cleared of historic charges of sex abuse police officers have destroyed a teacher's career by FALSELY telling employers he was a 'very dangerous paedophile'...The force will face £500,000 legal bill for their mistake. Marie Raison, 25, of Dagenham, has been jailed for sending disturbing images of her touching two young children sexually to Paul Dent, 29, of Tyne and Wear, a paedophile she met online. There is also more evidence of what is happening in the fight against this filth on the internet. ...and there's more extreme and bizarre behaviour as Lewis Webb, 26, of Bristol, went berserk and left a trail of destruction costing thousands of pounds when his girlfriend, Elizabeth Rowe ended their brief relationship. This is bad enough but a little boy, aged 4, has been murdered as he slept in his own bed by a psychopath allowed into his house in an intoxicated state. What on earth were the parents thinking about?
