Daily Mail Forced To Help Wounded Soldier

.

Daily Mail Forced To Help Wounded Soldier Paratrooper Ben Parkinson gave his heartfelt thanks yesterday to Daily Mail readers who have donated an astonishing total of £210,000 to his legal fighting fund.

Doctors described him as the most injured soldier to survive in modern times, yet Whitehall red tape meant he was offered a lump sum of just £152,000 – less than a third of the £484,000 compensation paid to a civilian RAF typist who sued after developing a repetitive strain injury in her hand.

Govt Indoctrinating Youngsters, Global Warming

.

Government Indoctrinating Youngsters, Global Warming Children are being brainwashed by propaganda from the Government on climate change, a court heard yesterday.

The "New Labour Thought Police" were accused of indoctrinating youngsters by handing out thousands of Climate Change Packs to schools.


+ Taxpayers' cash is sponsoring the Jeremy Kyle Show, described by a judge as "a human form of bear-baiting", it was revealed last night.

This is YET ANOTHER example of how the government purposely sponsors societal 'disharmony' - in order to empower itself by continually stirring up trouble. And this sort of thing, coupled with the manner in which it keeps the police bound up in the office - something which the police are constantly complaining about - is just one of the effective complimentary mechanisms that the government employs to keep the crime levels high.

Multi-Culturalism More Important Than Crime

Multi-Culturalism More Important Than Crime

Taken from Richard Littlejohn's column in the Daily Mail, ...

Stuart Davidson ("David Copperfield" - a police officer) said: ... "Thousands of front-line officers like me have to fight a daily battle just to get out of the office, before we even think of going after criminals.
"I'm lucky if I spend more than an hour a day on patrol.
"My initial training in Britain was as dissatisfying as the selection procedures. We learned very little about crime, all too much about multi-cultural awareness and sensitivity towards bisexuals.
"During my course, I spent just half an hour on burglaries, but three whole days on diversity, where we were encouraged to confront our supposed prejudices about Muslims, travellers or transgendered peoples, though, in reality, you would never find a less prejudiced group than my fellow recruits.
"None of this highly politicised training prepared us for going out on the streets to take on thugs and thieves.
"But, as I grew to learn over the subsequent four years, such tasks were only a small part of policing.
"Our main work, it turned out, comprised of watching our backs, answering questions from procedure-fixated superiors, and doing the bidding of deskbound bureaucrats.
"Even the most trivial offences would result in a blizzard of forms and hours behind the desk.
"Take one example. Earlier this year, I was called to the house of a woman who claimed her boyfriend had stolen her dog.
"The supposed crime turned out to be little more than a minor domestic tiff and the dog was soon returned.
"I thought that was the end of the matter. But no. A deluge of paperwork followed. I had to fill in forms covering witness statements, domestic incidents, 'no crime reported' and attempted detection.
"In all, this nonsense covered 12 pages of written documentation. It was a meaningless pantomime, for we all knew that no action was necessary.
"On another occasion, I had to go to an incident where a boy was alleged to have thrown a football at another.
"By the time I got to the scene, the supposed victim could barely remember anything about this trivial event but, even so, all the painful, needless bureaucratic steps had to be followed, including a videoed interview."
An obsession with targets and box-ticking meant "we get exactly the same points for cautioning a girl for pulling another girl's hair as we get for a burglary".

Girls Pulling Hair As Important As Burglary The beat police officer who used his internet blog to lift the lid on the endless paperwork and political correctness of modern policing revealed his identity last night to announce he is quitting Britain.

"We get exactly the same points for cautioning a girl for pulling another girl's hair as we would for a domestic burglary," Mr Davidson said. "In terms of statistics they're exactly the same."

Soldiers' Families Denied Inquest Funds

Soldiers' Families Denied Inquest Funds Money urgently needed to reduce the vast backlog of inquests into soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan has not been provided by the government, raising fresh fears that existing delays will grow longer.

Despite pledges to cut the time military families must wait for an inquest, the coroner with responsibility for the issue has still to receive extra cash months after ministers promised that it would be made available.

Our Corrupt Political Parties Represent No-one The most important division in Britain is no longer the Tory versus Labour dividing line that marked out the battle zone in politics for the bulk of the 20th century. The real division is between a narrow, self-serving and - as we will see - increasingly corrupt Political Class and the mass of ordinary voters. Peter Obourne

We Will Lose Our Home Says Soldier's Mother

.

We Will Lose Our Home Says Soldier's Mother The mother of a British soldier who was severely injured while fighting in Afghanistan has said she will lose her life savings and will have to sell her home because of the "insulting" compensation offer made to her son by the Ministry of Defence.

Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson, 23, has been described as one of the most seriously wounded soldiers ever to survive. He lost both legs, suffered serious brain damage, fractured several vertebrae and sustained 34 further injuries when his vehicle struck a landmine in Helmand province last September.

Yet despite the severity of his injuries, which have left him unable to speak and unlikely ever to walk, he was awarded £151,150 compensation.

But, you might recall that ... An RAF typist who injured her thumb at work is to be paid almost half a million pounds by the Ministry of Defence ... i.e. more than three times as much
