EU rules exploited again.

Once again I have to bring up the subject of criminals gaining from the ridiculous human rights laws.
A headline in The Scottish Daily Record states SCOTLAND FACES HUMAN RIGHTS TIMEBOMB. Thousands of CRIMINALS could fight for their FREEDOM after human rights experts branded confessions extracted by Scottish police ilegal.
Scotland is one of just a few EU countries where suspects cannot demand legal advice when they are being grilled by police. Lawyers are beginning to lodge bids to have evidence from interviews thrown out. This ridiculous move can go back as far as the year 2000, costing the country a fortune on appeals and clogging up the courts not to mention the compensation these rightly convicted criminals could claim for. Worse still, some of these freed could be dangerous criminals and public lives could be at risk but what steps are being taken to stop this? NONE!
Is it not time something was done to plug the gaping loopholes in this very dangerous law that has only created the opposite results it was originally designed for? How many more times will I have to write about this system being abused by criminal lawyers who would be better putting their legal minds to good use by GETTING THIS LAW ALTERED!
The exploitation of these rulings has gone too far and its time the government woke up to this fact and do something about it before they are made bigger fools of than they already are.
The laws were easily made so there is nothing to stop them being revised quickly to prevent this exploitation, before our streets and economy ends up in a more disastrous state than they already are.

Sold down the river.

The E.U. is still trying to decimate the Scottish fishing industry by altering the rules and regulations so rapidly that the skippers and crews just can't keep up.
They spent £10,000 to £30,000 on new regulation mesh size and dimensions only to be told weeks later that they don't comply anymore and will have to go to the same expense to renew the nets bought only recently. Their days at sea have been cut so severely that it is imposable to meet the expenses incurred when at sea plus the expenses of lying tied to the quay that include insurance,berth fees,hire of wheelhouse equipment etc.not forgetting the loans that have to be paid back for the building of their crafts never mind changing expensive nets every few weeks.
Once again the British representatives in the European Parliament have stood back and watched as other countries, envious of our efficient but conservation wise fleet chip away at the regulations until soon there will be no Scottish fishing fleet.
Thousands of jobs will be lost on land as well as the sea by allowing a once proud and flourishing industry be decimated in this way and all to benefit countries that have already emptied their once rich fishing grounds by catching and landing fish of all sizes to the point of no return.
They now want to turn their attention to our waters and by destroying our fleet they will gain licenses and flaunt the laws to decimate the rest of the seas.
It is time our politicians woke up to this fact and carried out the job they are getting paid for by fighting against this vendetta that will benefit no one and really put paid to any chance of replenishing the seas.

Mr Ms Mrs Miss

I can't believe that with the law on human rights lying wide open to abuse WE are paying some halfwit thousands of pounds to look into and change trivial matters like name titles. Instead of wasting time and money on these futile causes its about time the disastrous loopholes in the human rights laws were sown up to ensure the victims they were meant to help get the benefits and justice they were introduced for, instead of the criminals they were meant to be protected against abusing these laws and reaping the benefits.
The more this is allowed to continue the more ridiculous and worthless the E.U. becomes and it is time the British public started doing something about it as the government seem quite happy to squander our money in countless ways rather than heed the electorate who at one time had enough faith in them to put them there but have long since regretted this action.
How much more money is going to be wasted on trivial matters before the E.U. is taken by the throat and made to concentrate on serious matters and worthwhile laws?
Perhaps it is time to ditch it altogether if this is all it can achieve.

The E.U. wobbles

My predictions of divisions in the E.U. are nearer to coming true than even I expected with France announcing that the money invested by them in the motor trade is to protect French jobs only. It is not so long ago that I wrote about the British wanting jobs in Britain to go to British workers so we cannot condemn France for looking out for their own but this is the thin edge of the wedge and as soon as the credit crunch bites harder we will see each country looking out for itself.
It was fine when they were decimated our fishing industry while allowing their boats to ruin fishing grounds all over the place, as this was to their benefit, one of many regulations that suited them within the union, but as soon as a crisis arises and their economy is put in jeopardy they want to go solo.
The first major crisis to hit the European Union and the cracks begin to show, as it seems it is going to be every man for himself. So much for the union that was going to make Europe great, powerful and self-sufficient. A great amount of people voted against the Common Market but not enough to stop us entering it but at least we had a vote. We were denied a vote to join the E.U. when the rules and regulations changed because politicians wanted in but did not trust the British public to let them get their way, as our way does not count as far as they are concerned. Now lets see the shenanigans as the buck is passed around when they try to blame everyone but themselves when things start to crumble.
The Common Market was a risk, but the European Union was a step too far as we are about to witness much to our folly.

It just gets worse

Jackie Smith is disappointed that Osama Bin Laden's right hand man Abu Qatada has been awarded two and a half thousand pounds because we have held him without charge. SHE is the Home Secretary and she is in a position to do something about it so instead of expressing her sorrow to the press, express her anger to the European Court who made the stupid decision in the first place. He entered Britain illegally which is as the word illegally means, breaking the law and she should have had him deported as soon as this was discovered. In saying that, Britain is the softest,most stupid country in the European Union so it is little wonder that all the vermine like him make their way over here knowing full well they can make full use out of the idiotic way they are treated here. The rule of human rights was not introduced to protect scum like him and it should be modified to make sure the likes of him gets NO HUMAN RIGHTS! as stated in this blog before. Jackie Smith is in the position to influence the European Courts to rectify this before more damage is done by pandering to killers so let us see some action from her instead of meaningless words.
As an after thought, she could pay the two and a half grand out of the exorbitant expenses she has been claiming then maybe it would give her and this country the wake up call it sorely needs and get these ridiculous European laws altered to apply only to the HUMANE of this world.

another E.U. farce.

This weeks murder case in Scotland has highlighted another of the many flaws associated with the E.U. Jolanta Bledaite would still be alive today if it was not for the lackadaisical way in which all citizens in the E.U. are allowed to roam freely between the countries within this dangerous union. If we are going to persist in staying in this ridiculous merger then it is time that immediate steps are taken to stop this hidious crime repeating itself. In the present situation murderers and other violent criminals are free to come and go without being checked at the borders and can easily escape from their own country even after they have been convicted of these serious crimes. People outside E.U. countries are stringently investigated when coming and going from this country and even good honest people who come in on visas and prove their worth while working hard, staying honest and out of trouble or in other words being an asset to the country, are still deported if they overstay their visa and yet evil like Jolanta's killers are allowed to walk our streets. Even though we were stupid enough to join the E.U. the rules for border crossings or emigration should still have been relentlessly scrutinized and the loopholes allowing these criminals to roam freely firmly closed to protect not only our own people but to protect people like Jolanta and her family the suffering and heartache caused by the negligence of the M.E.Ps when arranging these treaties. They were quick to bring out stupid laws concerning trivia like the shape and size of vegetables, flags on car number plates to name but two, instead of concentrating on the serious issues that all the problems are arising from now. If these issues had taken precedence instead of the nonsense that is still coming out of the European rules and regulations, then the people who were refused the vote on the new constitution might not mind so much when as always THEIR WISHES AND PROMISES ARE IGNORED!

foreign labour

The ongoing dispute about foreign workers taking jobs from the British is another example of the flaws occurring in the E.U. Our politicians are quick to condemn our workforce for their reaction to workers from abroad coming over here and carrying out tasks well within the capabilities of our labour force and in these times of uncertainty instead of looking after their own countrymen they are acting against them. It is in situations like this that the politicians should remember who put them into their jobs in the first place and it is the general public of THIS country that can vote them out NOT the imported workforce that the dispute is all about.
Maybe if we imported some decent politicians from abroad to take over their jobs we might get more satisfaction in the way this country is being run as at the moment it leaves a lot to be desired. If their jobs were at stake (which many of them should be, and will be at the next election) their reaction would very different, then there would be support for the British worker while bringing a whole new meaning to FOREIGN LABOUR!

failings of united countries

When the British public voted on the E.U. it was for what was then called the common market. This was only supposed to aid each country in their produce to gain better prices and to see that the markets were not overflowing with too much of the same things and was NOT supposed to involve the matters it now takes to do with. This did end up with mountains of food being stored to meet these requirements and plenty of food was wasted thanks to that system. Since then the European Union has been formed on which the British public never got the chance to vote and with the ridiculous rules and regulations that are coming from this set up it is about time we were allowed to voice our opinions on the matter by having the vote we should have had in the first place when the system changed. New countries with little contributions are now being allowed to join, making the union weaker from my point of view. Britain would be far better off without the other countries as some of the policies are very much against the interest of the industries in Britain, like the fishing for instance for if the E.U. gets its way there will be no fishing industry left in Britain but the other countries who abuse their own grounds will have a free range in our waters. This is just the thin edge of the wedge other industries will follow. Other supposedly strong unions have fallen apart before because of unrest or one part becoming stronger than others and trying to take charge. The collapse of the U.S.S.R. and Yugoslavia are examples of this and I can see in the future the same thing happening to the E.U. because the way things are going some countries are going to benefit more than others with the stupid decisions being made by some nonentities who know nothing about the subjects they are dealing with.
Give the British public the vote they are entitled to or is the government too afraid to do that as they already know what the outcome would be.
