The legacy of New Labour

A 29-year-old man has had to have metal plates inserted into his jaw after being assaulted during a robbery in Tameside.Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened on Pickford Lane, Dukinfield, at about 6.45pm on Tuesday 24 June 2008.The victim was walking his dog along the lane near the junction with Russell Street when he heard a man shout 'Oi' from behind him. As he turned around he was punched to the left side of his face, causing him to fall to the floor and lose consciousness.When the victim came round he realised his gold chain had been stolen.The 29-year-old suffered a broken jaw in two places as a result of the attack and had to undergo an operation to insert two metal plates into his jaw.Anyone with any information is asked to call the volume crime unit on 0161 856 9264 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The nasty attack in Dukinfield is just one of the hundreds of similar incidents that will occur throughout Britain today, tomorrow and into the foreseeable future as the seeds of Nu Labours anti-family policies begin to grow. The Labour administration that gained control of this country in 1997 has been, by any register in modern history, the most destructive government to rule this land.

I have tried very hard to think of anything good that I can say about Labours governance of this country since 1997. Here are a few that I could think of:

The national minimum wage

The brilliant Right to roam legislation

Banning the elitist and outdated ‘sport’ of Hunting with dogs.

Courageously supporting the renewal of Trident

After those four positive points my mind begins to blur and visions of the real meaning of New Labour come to mind, far too many things to mention here but a few of the most infuriating have to be mentioned:

Three wars of aggression of which one was certainly illegal using the principal of the Nuremburg Rulings, none of the three were of any direct benefit to Britain.

The PFI schemes designed to siphon money from the NHS in a bid to introduce a form of ‘stealth’ privatisation.

Mass and uncontrolled immigration the likes of which we have never witnessed before.

The total betrayal of the working class.

Countless and never ending stealth taxes.

The relentless promotion of the poison known as Political Correctness.

This brings me onto the second news item I wish to include in this entry. The words of Barbara Wilding, Chief Constable of South Wales should be studied closely because she is right on the mark with this one. This decline in our national wellbeing must be halted. Will the Conservatives address this burgeoning crisis when they form the next government or will Mr Cameron continue to ‘hug Hoodies’? Tameside Citizen

Family life has been replaced by gang culture based on drugs and violence for "almost feral groups" of young people, a police chief has suggested. Barbara Wilding, Chief Constable of South Wales, said in some areas tribal loyalty replaced that of the family. Her speech was made at King's College London in May, and reported in The Times, which obtained a transcript.
Ms Wilding said that family breakdown was the root cause of many problems for young people.
Speaking at the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, she said: "In many of our larger cities, in areas of extreme deprivation, there are almost feral groups of very angry young people.
"Many have experienced family breakdown, and in place of parental and family role models, the gang culture is now established. "Tribal loyalty has replaced family loyalty and gang culture based on violence and drugs is a way of life." The former deputy assistant commissioner for the Metropolitan Police also said more focus should be placed on tackling the complicated social and economic issues that lead to criminal behaviour. "In an age of cost-benefit analysis... there is no appetite for solutions that have no visible return and no patience for any which will not bear immediate political fruit." During her speech, Ms Wilding also said disaffected young people were a prime target for terrorist recruiters. BBC News
