Hi! Folks. Sorry for my absence during the summer. A little illness but a short break in beautiful Mayo helped with that. I stayed near the centre of that Shell to sea dispute. Belderrig and Belmullet. Friendliest place on earth. Belderrig Bay Hotel and the surrounding areas. Mind the sheep! It's an open pedestrian area for our woolly friends. Before I go on to the Budget I just want to comment on Gamu being ejected from the X Factor. Why is it that every year a potential winning contestant is deprived of the right to go before the public vote? Even though Gamu is not presently in the contest she is still the bookies favourite to win it! The bookies are rarely wrong. That's why they never go broke. But at least all this controversy has highlighted the unjust system of deporting people from the UK and Ireland. Gamu was brought into the UK as a child. Her mum may technically be illegally resident but Gamu is more Scottish than African. It is cruel and inhuman to deport her back to Zimbabwe.
Now to the Irish Budget. This will be a long haul piece so I'll start off a new post. I intend to publish a budget myself and of course it will be in speech form and therefore will contain commentary on subjects surrounding the present economic crisis in Ireland on the international scene.

€2.2 million for two days work. Get a law degree in Ireland Kapello.
People have been complaining about England's World Cup performance and their manager's and players wages. Well take a look at RTE's News Headlines tonight at a Judgement on legal fees for two barristers and two solicitors for two days work. The Taxing Master of Dublins High Court said he was disgusted at the fees demanded for a case taken five years ago. The legal team charged €2.2 million for a case which lasted two days in court. Fabio Kappelo may just forget about that England job. Get a law degree in Dublin and you can rip everyone and anyone off!!
Taxing Master Charles Moran reduced the Lawyers fees by 82% from almost €2.2 million to €393 thousand. Mr Moran said he was disgusted and bewildered at the level of the claim from the Lawyers. All Irish Legal fees need to be reduced by 82%.

An open letter to Kenneth Clarke MP, Justice Minister UK
30th June 2010
http://manifesto151051.blogspot.com
Dear Mr Clarke,
I refer to your speech at Kings College London today regarding prisons policy. Firstly, I want to congratulate you on your appointment as Justice Minister in the new Government. I am strongly opposed to your party and most of its policies. I regard myself as a socialist and find billionaires, banks and the rich as an obnoxious cancer in our society. However going back many, many years ago you were the only face of Tory-ism I ever found acceptable. You may think I am going to exclaim a tirade of abuse or heap praise on the Conservative change in policy relating to Prisoners and Crime. In fact I am going to better your new policy in favour of reducing the prison population by 60,000 in one fell swoop. Those who favour throwing more criminals in jail will agree with my policy and those who feel prison is a wrong method of criminal justice will also agree with my proposals. But more important, I will be switching the responsibility for re-offending away from the government, away from the prisons, away from the police. Prisoners under my scheme would take responsibility for their own detention. They would be given a choice en masse whether to get the key of the front gate of the prison.
My proposal in response to your claim that prison doesn’t work is to announce a General Amnesty for all prisoners in the United Kingdom.
Now before people go ape I want all the people now incarcerated in prison to be offered an amnesty for their crime/s. Except for those involved in Violent Crime. Violence includes Child Abuse and a lot of crimes that people may have felt were threatening. However the amnesty would be announced on the basis that all prisoners would be allowed to apply. Only people who apply would be given consideration. As an example, if this was open to the Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley in 2000. Brady would refuse to apply and would also not be eligible on the grounds that he is diagnosed as insane. Hindley would be entitled to apply as her actual life sentence was served by 2000. Thousands of people have been locked up in prison for not paying their TV Licence, for debts owed to Banks who have been shown to be involved in serious crime. Yet no prisoner is ever ask to share a cell with a banker! People find themselves in prison for ridiculous things like not paying speeding fines they didn’t know they had because they were abroad when they got the Summons.
Now Mr Clarke, here’s the catch. I’m a socialist but I’m not a sympathiser with criminals or their activities. This Amnesty has to satisfy those on both sides of the argument. So really I agree that we should not have 85,000 people in prison locked up in cells throughout the United Kingdom. You want to save the 3 billion that your supporters might have to pay if they don’t get the right accountant to keep those 85k people out of prison. I want you to reduce that cost so that you can increase the amount of money given to Paediatrics in our hospitals, Hospices, Handicapped etc. So the basics I propose are this: Every prisoner in the United Kingdom would be released on January 1st 2011. Those who would not be released would be those who had not applied, those convicted of murder, rape, child abuse, or any conviction for assault.
So if all those convicted of a violent crime were kept in prison and all those, including the alcoholics, drug addicts, schizophrenics and mentally ill, speed merchants, white collar criminals, debt defaulters, were released we would release 75% of our prisoners. But more important. Those who support banging up offenders in prison will get their day. If a prisoner applies for release under the Amnesty Act 2010 they will be given a Contract to Sign. They will agree that if they are convicted of a crime within 5 years of signing the Amnesty they will return to prison for a period twice that of their original sentence. However no one in the United Kingdom will ever be detained on the grounds of health or poverty.
Mr Clarke, the benefits of this Amnesty are huge. Every aspect of the policy is good for society, good for the poor where most prisoners communities originate, good for the wealthy who support your party. I ask you to give my proposal consideration. Most of the problems however, that created such a monstrosity of prison policy is the Parliamentary, Judicial and legal system in this country. The legislative system must be speeded up. Instant law should be created. Ten years for being found with a knife. Instant legislation. Now in one year this law would not be needed. Because people would stop carrying knives. So revert to the old law and carry on.
Thank you

Night Off
I'm having a night off the futbal after falling asleep listening to UK Justice Minister Kenneth Clarke giving a speech on how he is going to redistribute the wealth of prisoners and their crimes to his supporters in the stock markets. I think both groups should work together. Ken will empty the prisons and the stocks will rise. Less regulation, like in Ireland and Greece. We should never promote discrimination. So let them all at it! Banged up criminals and the London Stock Exchange. Hope your going to do a course on Fraud Ken. Grants for prisoners at the FTSE!
Keep an eye out for my Open Letter to Ken Clarke.

Myra Hindley: A new book.
I don't intend to become a book critic, but I'm fascinated by a new book on the Moors Murderer Myra Hindley. One of your Own, by Carol Ann Lee, is a new look at the so called most evil woman in Britain. I've already read Brady and Hindley by Fred Harrison, Jonathon Goodman's The Moors Murders, Beyond Belief by Emlyn Williams and Duncan Staffs' The Lost Boy. I'm posting this blog because when I review Carol Ann's book I will have a lot to say about this case that does not, nor might not in our time, match up. I believe that The Moors Murder case is the only case in British History that has a 100 year 'D Notice' imposed that can prevent any publication that any person makes by any British government. The deaths of some legal people around the trial of Hindley and Brady and who all was involved in the murders and possible deals that were done at the time were never properly investigated. So in my review of Lees book I will try to create new questions that have very old facts to be brought to the fore. Considering that Murderers are being released after eight to 14 years today what questions should we ask about Myra Hindley?

Bussing American Negroes, Tebbit on your bike, Apartheid, Hunt Gaffe.
That headline is a bit of a mouthful, deliberately. Norman Tebbit told the unemployed to get on thier bikes, forgetting they couldn't afford a bike! The USA used to take thier negroe citizens to work on the back of the bus. Then negroes stopped the buses. The Afrikkans created Aparthied. Nelson destroyed it with peace. Now Ian Smith (no not Rhodesia), (but)? Duncan reccomends all of these policies put together in the one cooking pot! All the lazy people of Britain who refuse to work will be moved to jobs. Thier houses will be closed down. They will get a new house, a new job. A new future. Until some Tory billionaire decides to do a runner with the profits like last week and yeterday and destroys the job, the house and the life of a man, a woman and four children. Now that couldn't happen, could it?
Well the Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt is a very well educated man. But he can't remember Hillsborough? How the police were found guilty of the deaths of 96 people? Surely he must have watched television over the past thirty years? Margret Thatcher destroying the coal mines and British industry in a revenge attack? Stealing the milk off 5 year old primary school children? No that would be too far back Mr Hunt. My problem is that if you cant remember Hillsborough, or have never seen the headlines, where have you been? I mean if Ian Duncan Smith declares al blacks, gypsies, and those living under £62.99 per week, as illegal immigrants and threatens to send them to Afghanistan, are you going to have amnesia and ask: Who is Duncan Thatcher? Norman Hunt? Adolf Tebbit? Ian Smith? Obviously you will then forget the good days too. Nelson Mandela. Tony Bair. David Trimble Martin McGuinnes Lord Saville. Eqaulity?
Or perhaps you are still with the Capitalist Dream of every Tory earning Fabio Kapello's wage? The six million dollar man!! Surely Jermey Thorpe you remember the six million Dollar man? All his bones were broken in his body and he was re-made with super bones, super body, super powers! You must remember that Jeremy. It was the best American series ever. Did I say Jeremy Thorpe? Who's he? I watched a litlle two year old sitting in the sun on the footpath the other day. She was trying to pick a liquirice allsort that someone had trampled into the ground to eat it. I was going to try to intervene. But her dad was in the garden. In Jeremy Hunt, David Cameron's day it wouldn't be welcome to help a child. You might be bussed, deported, sent to a good job in another area, or be assaulted by a dad that has lived the real life that Jeremy Hunt seems to have escaped.

Fabio Capello V Paediatric Nurse
My blog of the recent past won't go away you know! Neither will my Paediatric Nurse! Fabio Capello is being paid £6,000,000 per annum to destroy the hopes of a nation, built up from 1966 and not even getting to the stage of foreplay, never mind a climax! My Paediatric Nurse has been offered three different jobs in three different countries. She is possibly one of the most qualified persons in her age group and Educational Achievments being sought presently on the world stage of Paediatrics. But a slight problem has turned up. She has children and needs to pay for child care. Despite her husband and Paediatric Nurse both being regarded as high earners to the average citizen, paying for child care would mean that it's not worth going to work. Does Fabio have to pay for child minders? I know he has six good minders looking after him. Ok that's enough. My point is, and it won't go away! We must re-value the human being! If Fabio is worth £6m then a Paediatric Nurse is worth £50m per year!!! But we must get real! We can't afford to pay a Paediatric Nurse £1m a week although we know she is worth it. She probably saves the life of at least one small infant per month. Small fry compared to Fabio. OK. Fabio should stay in his job. On condition that he gives £5.5 million per year to a children's charity of My Choice. I think I could get the support of millions of male readers to my blog. You remember holding her or him in your arms after he/she was born? Your baby or your grand child? Pure life! Pure unadulterated life! Now its Fabio V Paediatric Nurse. Vote!
Sorry, that was very selfish of me. The bin man doesn't have to do so much in our house now. Dirty nappies have immigrated. Paediatric Nurse is in competition with Waste Disposal Officers. Maybe Fabio could cut the shit and let the Garbage Disposal Officers have a decent wage. His wage would probably pay for the waste disposal of many small villages in England for a year. Just an interesting statistic before I bow out. I strongly support the Saville Inquiry. I support it's conclusions. It might have gone just a little further to expel the hurt of the future. But one item from the Accounts provided in the report. IT provided to the Saville report cost £31 million pounds. In 2009/2010 that would have paid for 1,000 teachers for N. Ireland's schools. I support it's use. I don't think it was neccessary because Edward Heath could have made Cameron's speech. And saved the country so much misery, so much death, so much terror. But that was how it had to be done. Paediatric Nurse V The Rest of The World..... Coming next!!! Vote Now!
