More Sex education

New Sex education
Once again this Government has stepped into what families can do they are in the process of making sex education and relationships compulsory in schools starting at the age of 5 years part of that education is to teach about how Homosexuality and Bisexuals being normal at least religious schools have an opt out of this degusting piece of legislation, I believe all parents should have the right to opt out of discussing sex outside of marriage and deviant sexual acts.
When will these so called experts realise the more you teach kids the more they will try it out. During the 1960’s I was at secondary School in our first year we learnt about reproduction system and that was it on the sex education because of this the experts said we ignorant of sex and children should be taught much more about the sexual act, interestingly enough those same experts were into the latest rages FLOWER POWER, free love, drugs and booze etc could it be if everyone done what they were doing they could justify their debauched behaviour. Can I say when I got married at 20 I knew no one who was pregnant under 16, I knew no one who was living together and I only new one divorced couple and that was in the day when we were ignorant of sex and contraception compare that with today when children are told everything they need to know about sex: Crèches in most schools, 51% of all single mothers living in accommodation paid for by the state something they have not even contributed to, sex becoming just a pastime and physical act.
I am pleased to say I am not the only one who thinks this way , here are two articles from newspapers:
A staggering 40,000 — or 40 per 1,000 — under-18s still fall pregnant in Britain each year, a pitiful improvement on 1998, when the figure was 46.6 per 1,000.
What makes these statistics most depressing, however, is the staggering amount of energy and taxpayers’ money that ministers have squandered on their teenage pregnancy programme.
More than £280million has been spent on contraception and sex education — and this has barely made a dent in the problem.
But instead of accepting its mistake and trying a different approach, the Government continues to cling to its discredited strategy of dishing out sex advice, pills and condoms.
Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity was ‘doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting different results’.

'Deterrent' is a dirty word for dealing with teen mothers By Jan Moir

To finalise is it not about time that we looked into the background of these so called Sex Experts because they seem a rather strange bunch who want to encourage children to experience sex and talk about sex if another adult suggested they would be classified as a potential paedophile

Jobs for Sittingbourne people

Dear Editor
Last week I wrote an article about the new houses at Bapchild and asked through your paper if Swale Borough Council would insure that local people got the job of building the houses rather then giving foreign labour all the work his reply was as follows:

Dear Martin
We shall seek to encourage all Companies that apply for planning permissions to employ and TRAIN local labour and craftsmen.

I have known Andrew for many years and have always found him trustworthy and honest, so hopefully some local people may get work to help feed their families in desperate times, as of yet I have had no response from our local MP

Government drew up secret plans to increase immigration... but feared 'racist' backlash | Mail Online

Best survey ever

Last month a world-wide Phone survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:-
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure because of the following:
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world"
Meant.

And
Finally.........................
In Australia they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

OBAMA most outrageous statement

It seems President Obama is not as popular in the US as the rest of the world is led to believe a friend of mine from the Big Sky country USA sent me the following item. Do you think our Prime Minister thinks the same

This is truly hard to believe

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT EVER MADE BY A PUBLIC OFFICIAL LET ALONE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.. AND THIS GUY IS OUR "COMMANDER IN CHIEF".

THIS MOST UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT?
HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO REQUIRE THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.


Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the
selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."


Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know. How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT... "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"


If he thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over.. If you or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them.

Please pass this to everyone.
I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hardcore liberals in the US will agree that this is just another example why this is the worst president in American history. Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.

Martin Seen with tight shorts

A friend of mine in the USDA replied to my blog on What do Homo's want


Martin,

I just don't know about you. I have personally seen you in tight shorts rolling around with other blokes. You seemed to enjoy putting your arms around them and pressing your body on theirs. Most of them just surrendered to you. I was smart enough not to give you the chance to do that to me. Seems you have a lot in common with these guys. What do you say about these actions of yours. I have even seen you in long lines with naked men just standing around.

I am not sure, but I believe you even oiled up your body to roll around in the grass WIth some of these muscular men. My, My what a bloody shame to have to remember you like that.

Just thought you might enjoy the way people can twist the truth. You tell a story a certain way to enough people, enough times and some are going to believe it. What a shame. They want attention and special privileges and positions of power..Blacks have done it and they are following what they did to get what they want. Watch out for the Islams, they are doing it also. They get political power than we suffer for not stopping them when we could. Give way to the underdog. However, that is now the average guy.

I find your comments quite enjoyable. Keep in touch.

My Personal Thoughts: What do these Homosexuals want?

White Pride?

All these laws which force people to like and tolerate each other only work with the big stick i.e. the Law but if you favour some groups above other you will get a backlash and you make the intolerance worse then what it was. Its People who need to live together in harmony and positve discrimination will never help that corse. Below is an example of how some people feel, you may not like it but you can not ignore it



WHITE" Pride”

This is great. It not only applies to the U.S but also throughout Europe and more recently in Australia. I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is.....

Proud to be White

Michael Richards makes his point...............
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.


This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...


Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.

And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK..


But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.


You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?


You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.


You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.


You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

You have Mobo (Music of Black Origin) Awards, yet black is allegedly a racist comment.

You have the NAACP. You have BET.... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.


If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.


If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.


We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??


A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.


If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.


There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..... Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.


In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.


You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.


You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.


I am proud... But you call me a racist.


Why is it that only whites can be racists??


There is nothing improper about this e-mail.. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we haveLOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!


BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!

It's not a crime YET.... but getting very close!



It is estimated that ONLY 5% of those reaching this point in this e-mail, will pass it on.

Poem for immigrants

I cross ocean, poor and broke.
Take bus, see employment folk.

Nice man treat me good in there.
Say I need to see welfare.


Welfare say, 'You come no more, we send cash right to your door.'

Welfare cheques - they make you wealthy! NHS - it keep you healthy!

By and by, I get plenty money.
Thanks to you, you British dummy!

Write to friends in motherland.
Tell them 'come fast as you can.'

They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
And buy big house with welfare bucks!

They come here, we live together.
More welfare cheques, it gets better!

Fourteen families, they moving in,
but neighbour's patience wearing thin.
Finally, British guy moves away.
Now I buy his house, then I say,

'Find more immigrants for house to rent.'
And in the yard I put a tent.

Everything is very good,
and soon we own the neighbourhood.

We have hobby, it's called breeding.. Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!
British crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.
We think UK darn good place.
Too darn good for British race!
If they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan !


PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY BRITISH TAXPAYER YOU KNOW

A tribute to a Soldier

He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Bob has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life..



He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today..

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.



Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.



It's so easy to forget them,
For it is so many times
That our Bobs and Jims and Johnny's,
Went to battle, but we know,

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.



Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier--
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his like again.



For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."



Pass On The Patriotism!


YOU can make a difference


A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life,

wrote a blank cheque made payable to 'The UK' or

'The United States' , ‘Canada’, ‘Australia’, for an amount

"up to and including my life."


That is Honour, and there are way too many people

in this country who no longer understand it.

Uzbeks and Craig Murray

I have just listened to Play on Radio 4 entitled “Murder in Samarkand” it was about Craig Murray who ran the British Embassy in Uzbekistan and the book that was written about him. Those who do not know the story it is about Craig Murray trying to bring to the attention of the Civil Service under a Labour Government that Human rights in Uzbekistan was practically nil. He maintains that information about Bin Laden given by the Uzbeks Government to British and US intelligence was unsafe as it had been obtained by torturing ordinary people not terrorists. The reason the Uzbeks were giving the information the Brits and US wanted to here was quite simply money, both governments were pouring money into Uzbekistan to keep them on side. Now whether this is true or not I do not know but it did make me think.
The row over torture at the moment does make one think, I for one do not believe any of those Human Rights Lawyers who are defending those terrorists arrested by the US and UK, the lawyers have no concept of right or wrong it is purely about getting an extortionate fee from the British Taxpayer. As for the Terrorists or should I say suspected terrorists how can they prove they have been tortured taped conversations, video, photographs, witness statements NO by definition if they had been tortured by the US secret service there would be no evidence, it is there word only and for why money again. They will come out with a huge lump of compensation paid for by the British tax payer which will most probably go back to help fund killing more innocent victims. Yet to take on information from dubious countries who have alter alterative motives does seem somewhat crass to say the least. This whole story seems to circle around the Iraq War, I wonder if we will ever hear the truth and I wonder how those minister who were involved can sleep but I expect they will by counting pounds going into the bank

What do these Homosexuals want?

What is it with Homosexuals over the last 30 years and especially under this government they have achieved powers and acceptance by the political establishment in fact they have more rights then the majority. This minority group accounts for about 4% of the population although they maybe accepted into polite society they still crave from Society the one thing they are not and that is NORMAL. They will try and convince people that it was Homosexual ls that produced the best human beings. They will cite a famous person from the past and say he or she was homosexual without any proof why because it legitimises there cause. One case was after John Wayne died there was a photograph of him tight shorts and a shoulder bag so therefore he must be homosexual Rubbish,
So why have I jumped on my hobby horse it is the fact that now according to the Gospel of Eltam John JESUS CHRIST was Homosexual so now Homosexuals what us to believe that the Son of God was Homosexual and that Christianity was the result of Homosexual plot. I do not know many Homosexuals but I would have thought the great majority want be left alone to get on with their lives, well its about time they stood up against these Loony Militants and their leaders in Stonewall

More on Helen

Helen Archers Mother the dominant Archer has now decided that she knows where Helen is coming from and has decided to give her support and warned her Husband that he must do the same as good parents. What rubbish good parents would be adamant in there disapproval of the whole thing, the husband Tony should turn round and say I want nothing to do with it but this middle class, veggie, liberal women and she knows that when the child is born everyone will gather round to support this selfish women not for Helen's sake but for the child who has no choice in its parents. The child can look to being totally dominated and absorbed by women a very unnaturally life style is this why scientists developed IVF I doubt it

Morals and Helen Archer

I have recently reached 60 so I thought it would be good time to put down what I thought of the last 60 years, the one re-occurring thing was the drop in moral and ethical standards. This I believe was highlighted in an edition of the Archers on Wednesday night where Debbie Archer announces that she is going to have a baby by IVF treatment, now Helen is 30 not married and not in a relationship. She tells her parents that she WANTS a baby and gives no more reason that she WANTS.


The ideal way to bring up a child is with a Mother and Father preferably married (there is sufficient evidence to back this up) but at the very least a Male and Female couple in a stable relationship (Not a Male and Male or Female and Female), so logic dictates that if we want children they should be brought up in the best way possible which is a Mum and Dad. That is in ideal world but sometimes bad things happen a Mum or Dad dies leaving a single parent or the Mum and Dad divorce or split up again leaving a single parent but this group tried to do the norm but have been left in a difficult situation. Next are those who get pregnant by mistake (I find it hard to believe in this day that this still happens) and the father of the child is not around. Then we have the final group who intentionally get pregnant either by a surrogate father or by IVF and have no intentions of having a father involved. This group treat the idea of having children as having a commodity, do they ever stop thinking rather then what they want and think what is best for the child. First the Child will be without a Father, to lose a father must be traumatic but to never have one and to be told in later life that this was intentional must be soul destroying. Having a man involve in child life is very important, plus an extended family i.e. the father relatives helps develop the character of the child. What of work these people make the choice to have a child without a father so why should the tax payer pay for them, so the mother takes on a full time job and employs a nanny, yet a child needs its mother and not just at weekends? So Debbie do not expect a well balanced child or adult when they get older, before any of you write in saying my daughter, son, friend etc has done a really good job accept the fact they are the exceptions not the rule.

When I was 20 I knew of no one who was living together (shacked up or living in sin) I think I only knew a couple of people who were divorced, I knew of no unmarried mothers and only knew of one girl who was pregnant at 16 she married straight away and is still married to the same person now. So was I living in shackled society frightened of my own sexuality or was I living in an era that had a Moral and Ethical Code?



Martin Clarke

Immigrants Work and Flats

I have great difficulty understanding this Government and the Employers of Foreign Labour, the Government according to newspaper articles have deliberately encouraged these legal and illegal immigrants to take work from our own people, yet for the government it is financially disaster. The foreign work force pays little or no tax because they are on minimum wage plus there is a great deal of black labour (that is not reference to a person skin colour it means working illegally), the indigenous work force they have replaced is forced on to the dole, which cost us the country money plus if they were working they would be on higher wages and thus paying higher tax. As for British employers to me it is only greed that forces them to employ foreign labour they and their shareholders want the highest return they have no compassion for their fellow countryman. Yes I have heard there excuses that customers want the best price if that were the case Councils should not go for the cheapest price they should go for the one who has offered best value and best product. More and more people are beginning to realise that the standard of work by foreign labour is not up to the standard of British Workers, those who purchased foreign built houses will tell you the faults once they have been in for a year, plus any of you who have been to Poland, Russia, Bulgaria etc will tell you the standard of their workmanship. So how do these foreign workers survive easy they share houses, packing in as many as they can this cuts the cost, plus according to the press some live in tents and caravans on the job,

Until the Government (who ever that is) starting to put the interest of its own people first you will never get a harmonised societies on the contrary it will lead to civil unrest and then riots.

As someone who owns flats and rent them I am continually asked why I do not rent to immigrants here is why:

1) They can not read English and can not read the Rental agreement

2) They cannot get a CRB check

3) They are not prepared to get references

4) Experiences from other Landlords make me wary:

a) You rent to one person and they start bringing other people, which causes a great deal of inconvenience to other tenants

b) A friend of mine rented her house to a couple while she was in Hong Kong when she returned they had sublet to Bedroom area and converted the loft into a Bedroom with planning or building regulations, on another occasions they have been no to convert loft space without permission timber from pallets

5) Finally I will always give preference to a British Subject this is my duty to help the local populace first

Open Letter SBC

Open Letter To Swale Borough Council

Chief Executive Swale Borough Council

Dear Sir

I attended the Display of the new plans for the new road going in at Bapchild the exhibition was held at Hempstead house. It was disappointing to see that no Swale Borough Council Official was present only KCC Officials especially as there are 600 houses proposed for the area.

The question I would have asked was “Does the Council have any power when granting planning permission on what builder can be used and who they employ?” As we are in a very bad recession and the great majority of builders being unemployed, can we be assured that employment be given first to local people, followed by British Subjects or will we be inundated by Foreign cheap labour.

Yours faithfully

Global Warming What is the truth

For those who have doubts of Global warning should read the following articles

Tory Pledge on Travellers

Gordon welcomes renewed Tory pledge on travellers




Local Conservative Parliamentary Candidate, Gordon Henderson, has welcomed a renewed pledge by David Cameron to clamp down on legal loopholes that allow travellers to exploit the planning system.



Proposals announced this week would see scrapped planning rules which compel councils to build sites for travellers on Green Belt land, as would the right of travellers to claim special treatment under the Human Rights Act, which the Tories would replace with a British Bill of Rights.



Bob Neill MP, Tory spokesman for local government and planning, contrasted the difficulties homeowners have in obtaining planning permission to build on rural land with the special treatment given to travellers.



“The British public want to see fair play for all, rather than special treatment being given to some. Labour’s changes have undermined community cohesion by creating a legitimate sense of injustice in the planning system.”



Currently, Government “diversity and equality” planning guidelines call for “positive action” and tell planners to give minority groups like travellers special treatment in the planning process (Hansard, 9th Feb 2009, Col.1700WA). Promoting “diversity and equality” is now a material consideration in the planning process, but the effect on house prices from an illegal traveller camp is not (Hansard, 9th Sept 2009, Col. 2014WA).



This two tier planning system is the root cause of the current controversy in Bobbing which has seen planning officers recommending approval for a planning application submitted by a gypsy family to develop land that is sited in an important countryside gap, on which the previous owners were refused permission to build a bungalow.



Welcoming Mr Neill’s statement Mr Henderson said:



“Bob is right. It is scandalously unfair that there is one set of rules for local settled people who want to build new homes, or, make alterations to their houses, and an entirely different set for travellers who have been given special treatment and appear to be able to build where they like.



“I am delighted that David Cameron has recognised this unfairness and has promised to change planning rules to give more say to local people, rather than be dictated to by bureaucrats in Whitehall and politicians in Westminster.”

How should we grill terrorists - with a cuddle and a cup of tea?By Richard Littlejohn


Last updated at 12:56 AM on 12th February 2010

Comments (75) Add to My Stories British intelligence officers are accused of colluding in the alleged torture of terror suspect Binyam Mohamed

Maybe I'm in a minority of one here, but I still don't understand the fuss over Binyam Mohamed.



He has become the poster boy for all those who want to undermine our security services and destroy our special relationship with the United States.

Why did the Government go to such lengths to secure his release from Guantanamo Bay and then charter a private jet to fly him 'home' to Britain?

For the umpteenth time, he's not British. He's not even a British 'resident'.



He is an Ethiopian national who lived here for a few years before choosing to move to Afghanistan, where he is said to have attended an Alky Ada training camp.

At the time of his arrest, he was attempting to board a plane in Pakistan using a forged passport.

Frankly, he is not our responsibility. We owe him nothing. Why would anyone in their right mind want him back?

British intelligence officers are accused of colluding in his alleged torture on the basis of supplying a few pertinent questions to his interrogators about what he got up to while he was living here.

That's their job, for heaven's sake. They would be failing in their duty if they didn't make every attempt to glean information from suspected terrorists who want to do us harm.

No one is actually accusing any British officer of physically torturing him, merely of turning a blind eye. There is a legitimate debate as to whether he was tortured at all, in the true sense of the word.





More...Angry U.S. warns there will be a price for Britain to pay after judges reveal MI5 DID collude in abuse of terror suspects

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Torture, a cover-up and Labour's shame

The spycatcher who broke our enemies the old British way



While at Gitmo, he was shackled and deprived of sleep - practices approved at the time by the White House. He is also said to have suffered severe mental stress over threats that he would be removed from U.S. custody and transferred to a more cruel regime.

OK, so the Americans put the frighteners on him, but if they hadn't cared less whether he lived or died, they wouldn't have had him on suicide watch.

His treatment wasn't pretty, but it has to be put in context of the 3,000 people killed in the worst-ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

As to his claims to have suffered genital mutilation while in CIA custody in Morocco, there has never been any firm evidence produced.



Binyam Mohamed maintains he went to Afghanistan not to train with the Taliban, but to confront his addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Most people would have signed up to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous, not Alky Ada) or checked themselves into The Priory. He travelled halfway round the world to one of the most inhospitable, tyrannical countries on Earth.

For a man said to have been in mortal terror of being tortured, he appears to have had no problem moving to a jurisdiction which would have cheerfully beheaded him or stoned him to death for taking a sip of alcohol.

The inconsistencies in his story are glaring, yet he has found a gullible audience for his fairy tales, including a fawning 'interview' on the BBC.

The prime movers behind this case appear to be motivated as much by rampant anti-Americanism as any concern about the Binman's 'yuman rites'.

We never hear such vociferous complaints against Pakistani treatment of terrorist prisoners. Yet intelligence gathered by Pakistan is said to have foiled countless plots in Britain and saved hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives.

How do you think this information is gained - with a cuddle and a nice cuppa tea?

It would be a dereliction of duty for MI5 to disregard this evidence on the grounds that it was obtained under duress.

No doubt I will be accused of condoning torture. I'm not, but it would be na've in the extreme to pretend it doesn't happen.

Binyam Mohamed may have been deprived of sleep, but there are plenty of dedicated men and women in the security services on both sides of the Atlantic who lie awake every night worrying about how they can protect us from terrorist attacks.

Their job is to keep us safe, and if 'yuman rites' isn't top of their 'to do' list then it's hardly surprising.

Leave the politics aside and keep your eyes on the prize. David Miliband may be a hapless Foreign Secretary, hopelessly out of his depth, but he was absolutely right to try to protect the confidentiality of intelligence sharing with the Americans.

Terrorism isn't just about indiscriminate murder, it's also about messing with our minds, unsettling our certainties. Alky Ada is practised in the art of turning our freedoms against us - whether flying civilian planes into buildings or exploiting our laws to pose as victims.

I repeat, I don't condone torture. But using the dubious claims of foreign terror suspects as a stick to beat British intelligence is counterproductive and dangerous.

The 'yuman rites' campaigners are crowing today. Next time a bomb goes off on a crowded Tube train, let's hope we don't discover it could have been prevented by evidence which had to be discarded because it was tainted by torture.

Congratulations to Swale Borough Council Leader

I congratulate Cllr Andrew Bowles leader of the Council for his stand for the Householders of Swale, I refer to your article “Gipsy consultation plan is unbalanced”. The Labour Government have imposed on the people of Swale Traveller sites for 47 Traveller Caravans, it has offered “Work Shops” for Travellers and Councillors but no “Work Shops” for local residents who I might add pay Council Tax and Income Tax something the great majority of travellers do not pay. For the Political Correct Forces have always put the interest of minorities first and not even consider the majority, at long last we have politician in Cllr Andrew Bowles who has stood up for the majority, He has said NO this is unfair and unbalanced the residents (the majority) must have a say. Lets hope this is a sign for the future when we get a new government in May.
Final question If Travellers settle in these Camps and are no longer travelling do they lose their status and come under the laws the rest us have to abide by?

Is UKIP a mistake

Over the last few weeks I have seen UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) getting some considerable media coverage, most of what UKIP stands for I happen to agree with but it is the way of obtaining their aims I disagree with. The Political system in this country at General Election is first past the post or winner takes all, I was a firm believer in this system as it brings with it strong government but in the last 10 years strong government has turned into an elected dictatorship so have been converted to proportional representation. Yet we have to be pragmatic if you want a change of government you only really have two choices vote Labour or Conservative all the rest no matter how good they seem, are a protest vote or in the case of UKIP it could be the party who will stop a Conservative Candidate becoming an MP and let in a Labour or LIBDEM EU enthusiasts.
Recently the local UKIP Parliamentary candidate wrote me a personal letter saying I was wrong in my thoughts, I was impressed that he taken time out to do that he did not change my mind but I did take time to look at the UKIP prospectus which I found interesting and hopefully a future Conservative Government will take on their ideas. One of the things they want according a report in a Kent newspaper is the banning of the Burka something I would suggest makes common sense but one of their potential Canterbury City Council candidates has resigned because he believes this is a racist move. The interesting thing is that this candidate is Alex Ellis-Rosswell a 16 year old! I thought you could not vote or get elected till you was 18? Although I admire this young man getting involved in politics surely someone should have said you should learn to walk before you can run as he is barely out of short trousers what we need is Politicians with experience of life. The youth of today is being bombarded with propaganda from Europe and organisations like UKIP are trying to correct this imbalance which is a good thing and this is where there strength is, keeping the public informed rather then wasting their money on trying to get into parliament in seats which they have no hope of gaining, maybe they should try Borough and County Council elections that is where they will have a chance
