Police get away with murder

First they lie and when they get caught lying they get away with murder anyway.

What price justice? We'd be a banana republic, but it's too cold to grow bananas.

British Government now considers peaceful protest a terrorist act

The government is to use the EU anti-terror opt out for retention of DNA of anti-war protestors, which effectively means they consider those who protest peacefully against the war are terrorists.

Same Tired Old Police Red Tape Excuses

A controversial one this time. Discontent with British policing has been growing for some time, with the police often claiming they're unavailable to answer the needs of those who need them most. We hear all the time of families and individuals being victimised by young thugs, with the police calling this anti-social behaviour and label it low priority, and then hiding behind the tired old excuses of 'being tied up with red tape' and government's notions of not wanting to 'criminalise the young'. The law and the police do not criminalise anyone, the criminals do that to themselves by committing crimes, whatever their age. Perhaps the public (who are being badly let down by the system) might be a little more understanding if the police weren't so keen to arrest anyone who stands up for themselves, but only doing so out of frustration when the police refuse to help.
