Woolwich

Today and disgusting incident happened. A young man, supposedly in the army, was brutally murdered in what could be a terrorist attack.

There's a video showing one of the murderers talking to a by stander who was filming, showing his blood soaked hands, saying 'Your government doesn't care about you.'

This incident is utterly appalling, and something needs to be done about our boarders, and how we deal with such cases.

Firstly I would like to point out that EDL, and BNP are NOT the people to turn to, they are racist and just as bad as the people who commit these crimes.

We do, however, need to make sure that our service men and women aren't targeted, and nor are normal innocent people.

The family of this young man need support, not anger, they comforting, fighting, and they will need strength, not hate.

I feel sorry for ethnic communities, because people like these two murderers will tar them with the same brush, and that isn't fair, and by going with the likes of the  EDL and BNP, we are taking away any dignity they have in this country.

Let us show these murderers that we are a strong community, not one easily deterred by their disgusting crimes that they decide to commit.

RIP to the young, and my condolences go his family.

Gay Marriage

Legalising gay marriage shouldn't be a huge issue, why would you want to stop two people in love getting married?

Half the reason gay marriage is being held back is because the Church of England is against it. Well seeming as the Church of England is based on Christianity, and to me Christianity stands for being equal, and a good Samaritan, they should be one of the forces backing FOR gay marriage, not against.

Of course not all couples are Christians, but seeming as the Church of England's Bishops sit in the House of Lords, expressing their views, it's the one entity we have try and get on side, or to get them to 'turn the other cheek'.

To stop two people in love getting married is an awful thing to do. It isn't fair, nor is it kind.

I think the government, and the Church need to look at what century we are living in, especially looking at my generation, and generations coming after us, because we aren't a homophobic generation, in fact gay couples is a part of life, we are more liberal in that sense, and I think the House of Commons needs to be as well.

Maybe it's time for the C of E to leave the House of Commons, especially as we are now a multicultural society, and most people today aren't that religious, should we be presented by an old constitution that doesn't represent a vast majority anymore?

No to EU Referendum

For some reason Labour are reluctant to give us a referendum whether we want to stay in the EU or not. Labour really hate giving us, the electorate, a voice but you have to remember 'they're for the people'........

I personally want to leave the EU, unless David Cameron can make sure the EU doesn't treat us like a money bank for countries that are struggling and give them a few trillion Euros, I don't see how the EU has treated us fairly.

I know countries like Germany, and France like to abuse us is because we won't join the single currency, and why would we? It's failing before our very eyes, it was originally introduced to help smaller countries in the EU, not France and Germany who have dominated it since day dot, and now places like Greece, and Spain a drowning in their single currency issues.

Labour, as the party for the people, should all be for giving us a voice, allow us to say yes or no. Instead they are running scared of us, of their own voters, most of whom would probably vote to stay in the EU along with the Lib Dems.

So come on Labour prove to us you're a party that stands by its standards and give us the voice to tell you what we, your employers, want!

Barbara Hewson

Today Barbara Hewson has come out in support of lowering the age of consent to 13, so that old men like Jimmy Saville, and others, aren't prosecuted.

A  decade ago I was 13, and although I knew what sex was, I certainly wasn't of mind to say yes to someone older man who asked me for sex!! 

Some 13 year old girls do have sex, and some of my friends at school had sex at 13, but it didn't make it right because they agreed to it. I've asked them recently if they regret having sex at such a young, and they've all said yes, "I didn't know what I was doing to my body."

One friend hadn't even started her menstrual cycle when she lost her virginity!

I don't know much about Barbara Hewson, if she has any daughters or neices, other than the fact she thinks people like Saville shouldn't be prosecuted because 'Touching a 17 year old's breasts, kissing a 13 year old, or putting one's hand up a 16 year old's skirt are not remotely comparable to the horror's of the Ealing Vicarage assaults, or gang rape, or the Fordingbridge gang rape and murders.'

A 17 or 16 year old can give consent, and know that if a man touches their bodies they can do something about, but a 13 year old is still getting used to her changing body, her hormones, let a lone a 20, 30, or older man asking her for sex!!

When I was 16 if a man touched me in an area I didn't feel comfortable with and I had asked him to stop and he didn't, I know for a fact I would have kicked him so hard he would have wished he never got out of bed that morning, but if I was 13 and a man did that to me, I'm not exactly sure how I would have reacted.

I probably would have frozen in fear, just because these women are older now, doesn't mean that justice can't be done The only one's I have problems with are the girls who were 16 and over, because you can give consent, and by law, you know what is going on.

Any younger, I think it's disgusting, and he should be locked up for life.

I don't think she fully understands her proposal of lowering the age of consent what knock on effects that's going to have.

Imagine a 40 odd year old man comes up to a 13 year old in the park, asks her for sex to which she consents, he doesn't use protection and she ends up pregnant, and you never hear from him again, what kind of life is that little girl, and her now child, going to have?

What mental issue's might she go through? At the age of 13 your body might be ready for a baby, but your mind certainly isn't!

Barbara might argue that the girl could have an abortion. Has she ever had an abortion, does she know that it can be extremely mentally and physically quite draining? 

They could give it up for adoption she might say. Does she know how long, and lengthy that process is? Does she know how mentally draining that can also be? What would it do to their academics?

Someone like Jimmy Saville who touched young girls who weren't only too young to give consent, but some were physically and mentally handicapped.

I Barbara needs to re-read what she has written, and maybe change her choice of words. More recently the deputy speaker of the House of Commons has been accused of raping a male. If he has, he needs to be brought to justice, if he hasn't he needs to prove his innocence, as Barbara seems to think it's an 'unfortunate coincidence'

If a man or woman touches you in a way that you don't feel is appropriate, make sure you tell them to stop, if they don't, hit them where it hurts and run to tell someone.

I do realise that Barbara is trying to point out there are women who fake such disgusting acts for attention, but that doesn't mean she needs to victimise 13 year old's.

Thatcher and her legacy

Three days after Baroness Thatcher's death, I've read a lot of support, and a lot of negativity.

Today Russell Brand wrote a piece in The Guardian about his views on Thatcher, and how he felt towards her.

He wasn't cruel, nor was he praising. He is obviously left wing, like so many in the Show Bizz industry,

Caitlin Moran tweeted, 'how children think of Thatcher'. What I think she means to say is, 'how children THOUGHT of Thatcher'.

Most of my school friends haven't got a clue who she is, in fact, most of my school friends haven't got a clue politicians are.

But people like Russell Brand, Caitlin Moran, Sally Lindsay, and others support anything against the right, seem to have forgotten what it was like before Thatcher came into No10.

Firstly it was a three day working week, as the Unions had the country on their knees striking every two seconds. Oh yes I'm sure that helped the country's debts a  lot, I can see why she is such a bad person for bringing back stability.

Secondly, we were in extreme debt! The left decided, as usual, to spend, spend, spend our hard earning money for what? Nothing.

Owen Jones hasn't come up with one reason why Jim Callaghan would have been better to stay in the Cabinet instead of Thatcher, in fact nor has Russell Brand in his piece.

In fact, I can't see a reason why people today would vote for Labour. Firstly Ed Miliband is a shambles of a leader, and so is Cameron, and so is Clegg.

As I've made earlier points, it's embarrassing watching them sometimes.

Labour spent money we didn't have, and Cameron and his bodies aren't doing a great deal to undo that. Labour also start wars on false pretenses, sell gold for it's lowest value ever (bet Gordon was really pleased with himself when he did that), and for the fact that they had Peter Mandelson.

I understand why miners don't like Thatcher, in fact they have every right not to like, and to celebrate her death in the way that they feel fit.

She took away their lively hood, although lets be honest we are all glad she did, it was a very green thing to do for the planet.

She hit them hard and fast, however, by going on strike, and proving to the nation that we can keep going without them they almost dug their own miners graves.

Something the left don't like to admit, sometimes when you strike you make your own argument invalid.

All I have to say on Thatcher is, I thought she did the country better than any Labour party  has done. The left have only ever had one thing to look back on and that's 'The Spirit of '45!" Makes me feel quite sad for them really. 

People vs The Welfare System

It's been a huge debate that has split the country for decades, people who do and don't deserve to claim benefits.

Today Mick Philpott, Mairead Philpott, and Paul Mosely were given their sentences after the deaths of the Philpott's children in a house fire, that they caused.

Mick Philpott has 17 children by five different women, and claimed tens of thousands of pounds, and although it definitely wasn't the cause, nor the reason why he decided to set fire to his house, with his children still inside, it is people like him we need to reign in!

It's people like the Philpott's who abuse the system, and people like them who need to be stopped, they put an unjust stereo type cast over others who are deserved of their benefits.

However, for some reason, people on the left like Owen Jones, Lab MP Tom Watson etc, don't seem to think that these people need to be stopped! And if they do, and I'm not fully understanding their stance on this issue, how would they go about it?

Owen claims there's a was against people claiming from the right. Well I'm not against people claiming benefits, in fact I think it's awful that he doesn't want to get rid of the people who are completely and utterly abusing the system!

Tom and Owen would carry on the New Labour's way of life, who had more people on benefits under their government than any other.

Firstly, benefits are there to help people while they are out of a job, and looking.

Secondly, it's not there as a way of life for people, unless you are disabled, or have a disabled child, family relative who you look after, or are otherwise unable to work.

People like the Philpott's will carry on abusing the system if there are no consequences, there should be a system in place where its either pretty obvious that you are unable to work, or you go through a little process to prove so.

That way we can eliminate these abusers, and the people who need, and rely on the benefits would probably be able to receive a bit more.

I think the left need a long hard look at how many people were on benefits under the last Labour Government, and come up with a solution that would help the deserved, because all they are doing is feeding abusers like Mick Philpott.

The Philpotts

The disgusting actions of two parents, Mick and Mairead Philpott, which resulted in the deaths of their 6 children.

Also just as disgusting, the headline of The Daily Mail.

Firstly, I agree with Owen Jones (it seems to be happening more and more!!!), don't blame the entire class, there have been many cases of rich men/ women taking the lives of their family and their own, in fact, I've probably read more cases of rich men/ women doing so.

Although it's obvious it wasn't the Philpotts plan for their children to die, it was their plan to frame someone else for the fire, and they are still trying to blame someone else!

But The Daily Mail is blaming an entire class. This isn't fair. Mick Philpott is a known abuser of the system, and is also a known violent, and controlling man.

So instead of The Daily Mail mourning the awful, and tragic death of these children, they point out the class in which these children were living in, not that class has anything to do with their death's, and how he had never worked a day in his life.

I feel for the six children that lost their lives, and I can't imagine how they would feel, had they survived, if they had found out their parents put them in such a dangerous position.

Let them rest in peace, and give them some dignity in death, that their own mother and father took away from them.
