What can we do with this generation!
God forbid..... what happens to the next! :eek:

we have a responsibility as parents to bring our kids up as best we can. my daughter is 14 nearly 15 and hasnt seen her father since she was 6. he died 3 years ago this christmas of a heroin overdose. this is the reason she hadnt seen him since 6 years old. i couldnt let her be around his lifestyle. ive been honest with her and told her that although her father loved her he was a drug addict and not strong enough to give up drugs for her sake or for mine. i work really hard and send her to a stage school twice a week which she really loves. i really cant afford it but think this benefits her so much that its worth the hardship. it not only gives her confidence but keeps her off the streets. i also have an autistic son of 7. hes a loving boy and so far so good. life is difficult at times but being there for your kids is the key i think. i balance my job/jobs and my children. im not always there when they might like me to be., but they know that when im at work im there for a reason and they are grateful for what i do for them. respect,respect,respect

This is interesting reading!

If all the Police in Britain were abducted by aliens, would anyone notice?

By Peter Hitchens The Mail on Sunday

PCSO Stephen Dean http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/200...OS_228x612.jpg

Wouldn't frighten the Milky Bar Kid: PCSO Stephen Dean on his skateboard


Here's the choice if you are one of the many thousands who have to cope with packs of feral youths roaming down your street.

One: Cower at the back of your house and accept that you are no longer safe in your own home, as if you were living in Mogadishu.

Two: Go out and do something about it.

The wretched thing is that the Mogadishu option is probably the sensible one. Please don't suggest calling the police. The police in this country are a joke, and often much worse than a joke, if you are in this position.

Read more...

* HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you have faith in the British police?

They almost certainly won't come. If they do, they'll be no help, at best, and then they'll go away again.

I'll come to that in detail, and no whingeing letters, please, from upset police officers.

If you don't like it, do something about it, or resign from a force that long ago ceased to serve the public.

You know the truth.

And I've been writing the truth about this for quite long enough for something to have been done.

Yet it hasn't been, so let's not have any more conditional clauses about how I 'accept that many police officers still do a decent job'.

I don't, in fact, accept this at all.

The entire force is so badly led and follows such misguided priorities that it is effectively useless. The fact that some of the people involved are nice is neither here nor there.

If all the police in Britain were abducted by aliens tonight, it would take most of us several days to notice they'd gone, since we hardly ever see them anyway.

When we do, they increasingly take the form of under-aged, undersized PCSOs who wouldn't frighten the Milky Bar Kid, epitomised by the ridiculous figure of Stephen Dean, simpering as he sucks up to the local yoof, teetering on a skateboard.

If you decide to do something about the teenage menace, then there are several possibilities.

If you happen to be a 15-stone karate expert with a wide vocabulary of filthy words, they may go away.

Fear, not reason or appeals to decency, is the only thing that affects the new breed of feral teen. He doesn't know what reason or decency are and it is too late to explain to him.

In fact, it's a serious mistake to reason with him. He takes it as a sign of weakness and will only hit you harder.

Alternatively, if you are not a 15-stone karate expert, and so much as touch one of your tormentors, you will receive a visit from the police, who will arrest you for assaulting or otherwise inconveniencing the louts.

After you have been convicted and have lost your job, the savages will come round and jeer at you all the more.

The police, as you will rapidly find out, are not on your side in this new civil war between good and evil.

They are neutrals, as are their mates in the Crown Prosecution Service. But their neutrality works against you.

Because they know that you are much more likely to come quietly, and that you will not have the average lout's amazingly detailed knowledge of 'Human Rights' (these people can learn when they want to), they can prosecute you successfully and add you to the ridiculous statistics which claim to prove that crime and disorder are under control.

Or there is the other possibility.

Your friends and relatives, and the rest of the country, will read courtroom reports of how you were last seen prone on the pavement as several products of Britain's enlightened social policies and fine education system 'kicked your head as if it were a football', in the phrase becoming ever more common in such accounts.

Why, a sugary sentimental TV reporter may gush over one of your children's heartbreaking letters written to you as you lie, a mass of tubes and bandages, in some intensive care ward. Ugh.

Even if you wake up after this, you will almost certainly be a human wreck, a burden to the very people you sought to defend.

Readers of this column know very well how we have come to this. They know that ignorant, dismissive politicians' twaddle of 'more bobbies on the beat' is just that.

There are no bobbies, just uniformed social workers, and there has been no beat since Roy Jenkins abolished it 40 years ago.

They laugh bitterly at chief constables' silly pledges to 'step up patrols'.

What patrols? There are none to step up, just worthless drive-by visits.

They also know about the systematic destruction of adult authority over the young and the dismantling of marriage, which has made a nonsense of appeals for 'parents' to take control. These loping terrors have no parents in the true sense of the word.

They know about the terrifying weakness of schoolteachers, the general scorn for moral teaching throughout a culture dominated by rich Sixties liberals who live in pampered safety, miles from the desolation they have brought into being.

These liberals are the ones who think that there is no absolute right or wrong, who think crime and misbehaviour are a disease excused by 'deprivation' or 'abuse', who think punishment is cruel and deny the role of honest fear in keeping bad people under control.

They have been in charge for half a century, and they have been proved utterly wrong. Yet they continue to insist that they are right, and they are not challenged.

We can't do this because of the Human Rights Act. We can't do that because of the Children Act 1989. We can't do the other because it would be 'barbaric' and a 'return to the Victorian age', they trill, from all three parties, whenever they are asked to do something about it.

The supposedly 'Right-wing' party preaches at us to be more understanding towards hoodies.

Well, to hell with them all.

Stop voting for them and instead build political parties that care about us. It will be the dark ages we will soon be returning to if these politicians and these police chiefs are not replaced, and this culture of weakness and surrender is not ended.

Statistics: Lies no one believes

There is absolutely no doubt that A-level exams have been diluted.

There is absolutely no doubt that crime and disorder are worsening, that unemployment is rising, that inflation is far higher than official figures state.

So what is the purpose of the dishonest statistics which constantly inform us that all is well?

Long ago, on my first visit to communist Poland, I asked a wise man (after we had checked that nobody was listening) what the point was of all those red banners proclaiming wealth and success and freedom when it was plain that food was in short supply, and the country was a censored, oppressed dump.

"Ah," he smiled, "of course it's all lies. They know it, they know we know it. Even really stupid people don't believe it.

"The purpose of the banners is to rub it in, day after day, that we are under their control, beaten and subdued."

Anthony Blair (and how quickly he shrivelled to his true size once the air was let out) has hired a hotshot agent to seek vast sums for his 'memoirs'.

Wouldn't it be terribly funny if all the world's publishers now turned round and said "Awfully sorry, Mr Blair, but people aren't interested any more", and that was the last we ever knew of him?

Well it looks like the government is taking no prisoners now.....they're going to have a gun amnesty where people can drop off their illegal weapons with no questions asked!

So you're all safe now.....cos no doubt every cop shop from Land's End to John o' Groats is going to be beseiged by Eastern European Mafia, Terrorists, Yardies, organised crime bosses, drug dealers, and psychopathic crackheads willingly laying down their highly valuable firepower.

I just can't help thinking of those classic lines from Reginald Perrin when Jimmy is explaining to Reggie what kinds of people his secret army will be against.

Jimmy Anderson: "Wreckers of law and order. Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists, crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders, atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos, vandals, hooligans, football supporters, namby-pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists, foreign surgeons - headshrinkers, who ought to be locked up, Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue-sniffers, "Play For Today", Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Up Jenkins, up everybody's, Chinese restaurants - why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed with Chinese restaurants?"

Reginald Perrin: "You realise the sort of people you're going to attract, don't you, Jimmy? Thugs, bully-boys, psychopaths, sacked policemen, security guards, sacked security guards, ratialists, Paki-bashers, queer-bashers, Chink-bashers, anybody-bashers, rear Admirals, queer admirals, Vice Admirals, fascists, neo-fascists, crypto-fascists, loyalists, neo-loyalists, crypto-loyalists."

Jimmy Anderson: "Do you think so? I thought recruitment might be difficult."
