Sunday Funnies...

I'll have to stop calling our techie guys 'geeks' now...well, except that strange one.

'It seems if you disagree with the NHS you must, for that reason alone, be considered delusional.'

No-one can fail to be moved and horrified by the account of 'ST' (stripped even of her real name by the establishment fighting to see she dies in accordance with the NHS's predictions). But also, no-one can be in the least surprised, either. 

Anyone who says they are surprised at the actions of the medical professionals and the state-appointed court system hasn't really been paying any attention, have they?

Some £1.5 million would need to be raised by the family — the NHS would not have to foot the bill — to cover the costs of an air ambulance to either Canada or America, where three hospitals have offered to treat her, and the subsequent clinical trials.

But, says ST, 'because of the court proceedings I am blocked from going [to North America] and because of the gagging orders I cannot fundraise to finance my treatment and transport'.

This is an NHS and court system, remember, that will happily squander taxpayer cash on the undeserving and the criminal, but won't allow other people to spend their cash in a way that isn't in accordance with its wishes...

Whatever her fate, ST says the 'system urgently needs to change' so no one else will ever have to go through what she and her family have in the past year. She insists she will not give up.

'I am in a race against time to escape from this system and the certain death it wishes to impose on me,' she tells me, before vowing: 'But I am a fighter and will continue to fight. I trust in God and will not give up hope.'

I don't believe in God. I wish I did. I wish I did because it would be nice to be able to believe that a reckoning will one day come to everyone involved in denying this brave young lady her chance. 

When An 'Innie' Becomes An 'Outie'...

No, I'm not talking belly buttons! 

A former Home Office chief accused of resisting key Conservative policies while in charge of asylum is joining a charity that has said the Government’s policies are “inhumane, racist and divisive”....

Who could have foreseen this?

Oh, that's right. Everyone who has been paying attention.

'That relationship at the time was beginning to disintegrate.'

Well, that's a shoo-in for 'Understatement Of The Year'...

Carter, who has five convictions for six past offences, was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months and must complete 60 rehabilitation activity requirement sessions and 120 hours of unpaid work.

She must also register as a sex offender and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years. A deprivation order was made for the two seized phones.

Why do the courts allow this farce?

Is That The Best You Can Do..?

In mitigation for Khan, it was said that it was a single stab wound and he lacked maturity.

For Lutchmunsing, it was said that he has mental health difficulties and was not in possession of a knife.

For Weston, it was said that she had a 'difficult upbringing' and was 'effectively homeless' at the time.

Even notorious Soft Touch Samantha couldn't stomach that...

Once Again, The IQ Is Highest At The Lowest End Of The Lead...

A woman whose dog left a toddler with “heart-wrenching” facial injuries after a nasty attack has overturned a council order to have the animal muzzled.

Whut..?

Teresa Ellinor, from Canterbury, adopted American bulldog Cleo just weeks after it bit the 17-month-old girl in January this year.

Yes, you read that right. 'After'... 

She adopted the thing and now thinks her poochy-woochy was unfairly treated.

Ms Ellinor then received a letter from the city council, imposing a list of strict conditions about keeping the dog, including an order that it must be muzzled in public.

But the prison officer, who claims Cleo was neglected by her previous owner, says the dog is no longer aggressive and the restriction is not needed.

The 57-year-old took her case to Folkestone Magistrates’ Court this week in a bid to have the condition removed.

*sighs* 

Concluding proceedings, chair of the bench Janet Wood said: “This is a lifetime order - please be very careful when the dog is around children.”

If she isn't and it does what these things are prone to do, who will be responsible? Janet? The rescue centre who adopted it out? The new owner?  

Well, not the latter, if they are underage, as in this case.

Ooh, Ooh, I Think I Know The Answer!

Is it 'because the Prison Service isn't fit for purpose'...? I bet it is...

The Ministry of Justice is now investigating why someone accused of such serious offences was not placed in a higher security prison, as experts furiously question why Khalife was not seen as more of a risk.

It's a good question indeed, isn't it? 

A neighbour told The Daily Telegraph: 'A woman lived upstairs who had a son and daughter. The boy would come and go swearing loudly. She moved to Wales roughly three years ago – a year after we moved in.

'The family were British, of Middle Eastern origin. '

/facepalm 

Let Those Who Released Him Serve The Same Sentence...

A Jack the Ripper obsessive who spent 32 years in jail for a series of chilling crimes against women launched a horrific knife attack on a pensioner just five months after his release.

Why was he ever released? 

Anthony Roberts inflicted more than 50 wounds on his victim, stabbing her in the neck, chest, back and legs, and slashing across her mouth, telling her: 'If you let me rape you, I will let you live'.

Roberts, 56, had only been released on licence last December after being given a life term in 1991 for a spate of attacks that saw him stalk and attack women in pedestrian subways across the previous summer.

Why doesn't life mean life? It should. This man's criminal history is horrific, and those who released him on license should be dealt with... 

Roberts, of Green Hill, Worcester, was remanded in custody for sentence on October 2.

What does it matter if the judge gives him a sentence, if he never serves it? 

"And 2023's Brass Neck Award Goes To..."

Yes, Reader, you read that right. The man who shut does the entire country, not just the schools, for a case of sore throats and runny noses for most people...

I find I have no words, so over to Longrider: 

"The man is a charlatan who is clearly out of his depth.

...

By God, a little abuse is the least these charlatans deserve. May they all rot in hell for all of eternity for what they did, and that includes Whitty. Every time I look at my shopping bill as it steadily increases as a direct consequence of the advice given to the government by these ‘experts,’ I curse the ground they walk upon. They have the gall to whine about how they are reviled when they deserve to be lying forgotten in a stinking oubliette, wallowing in their own waste."

"But despite the attack, the relationship continued ..."

The attack? Glad you asked, Reader:

One partner had only been dating Barrett for less than a month when he carried out an attack that “ruined her life” and blinded her in one eye.

...

His victim was taken to the QEQM hospital in Margate before being rushed to the William Harvey in Ashford for emergency surgery. The incident left her blind in her right eye and she suffered a ruptured globe, a detached retina, a split lens and a fractured cheekbone.

Some women clearly don't learn their lesson the first time: 

...just seven weeks later Barrett once again exploded in rage.

Gosh! How unexpected. 

Despite the woman’s pleas for him to stop, he continued to punch and kick her before pulling out a flick knife and threatening to dig out her other eye and stab her in the face.

...when Barrett was arrested, he told officers his girlfriend was lying and that the injuries were from him and his partner practising Muay Thai together. He claimed she had smacked her head into a wall, injuring her eye on a protruding nail.

*sighs* 

Barrett’s aggression continued with a subsequent partner, with whom the criminal had been involved on an on-off basis between 2015 and 2021.

Where do all these women come from..? 

Mitigating, Barrett’s barrister, Ms Edwards, emphasised that he had experienced a difficult upbringing and suffered from serious mental health problems.

He's not the only one, clearly. 

...handing down his sentence, Mark Weeks said the thug’s history of violence could not be blamed on his mental health problems.

“You were a cold, calculative and violent bully,” said Judge Weeks. Barrett was jailed for nine years and six months, with an extended licence period of five years.

After which time he'll be a model citizen, right?
