Boy, 14, and accomplice 'kicked man to death after he found them burgling a house'
Bailed to murder: Gang of teenage hoodies kicked former soldier to death for £5 they wanted to spend on booze and drugs
Taking into account the routine nature of the scenarios above, With dogmatic confidence the Powers that Be will still proclaim you wrong to suggest that the victims in these cases should have been armed with a gun, can of pepperspray, or even a club. After all, should weapons be legally available to carry by the law abiding, feral youths like this would have surely been carrying them to murder and obtain small change.
Or, is it that these hyped up wild animals, rather than commit calculative murder, see a chance to satisfy their sadistic urges and flex their muscles for the rush instead? Would effective weapons legally available for defensive purposes mean we'd have a shot victim or several shot thugs?
I'm curiously speculative as to whether any of these undeserving, press adorned anti-weapon zealots could honestly look into the eyes of one of these victims and say that had they have been armed with a weapon, things would have been worse? Would they proudly proclaim a rape victim as a model citizen for not carrying a groin-taylored dagger and instead laying down and giving in? After all, according to them there is "No possible excuse" for carrying a weapon and jail should be awarded to you should you dare to not comply.
I seriously wonder if asked whether they'd choose between a pistol or a mobile phone when confronted by an AIDs ridden crackhead, they'd proudly accept the later?
The slimy truth is, they have the audacity to demand that we do.

I hope when you read this your jaw hits floor as hard and quickly as mine did...
What to say? This is simply mental. Even if we ignore the fact that this will not avert any future financial crisis there is still a shed load of things wrong with this.
First, it's just one big up yours to anyone working in the banking sector. They could have only made it worse by saying, "Take all your money and expertise and .... ... to Singapore with Jim Rogers..."
However, what is much more worrying about this is the precedent it sets. If the Government can set the wages of Bankers what's to stop them doing the same for other private sector workers?
Well, if we look at all the other precedents breeched by this Government -- for example RIPA -- nothing at all.
Seriously, if you have a decent amount of capital behind you and some skills just leave this country. Because I think they're just hitting nails into the coffin for fun now.
A Financial Services Bill will offer tough new powers to City regulators to tear up bankers' contracts if they include excessive pay and bonus deals.
In an upbeat podcast on the Downing Street website, Mr Brown said Britain had a "bright future" ahead of it after the economic difficulties of the past year.
...
Chancellor Alistair Darling said the Financial Services Authority would get new powers to stop bankers pocketing big bonuses.
There would also be powers to cancel pay packages which rewarded undue risk-taking.
Legislation to be unveiled on Wednesday will also enable the FSA to require banks to renegotiate remuneration packages which breach its pay code.
Banks that continue to offer unjustifiable sums face being fined by the regulator.

Here are a couple of interesting videos from the Campaign For Liberty's "Operation Health Freedom" on why socialised, state-run health care doesn't work.
First, another video from Dan Hannan who is once again up to his 'dirty, un-patriotic tricks'...
And second the excellent Andrew Napolitano of Freedom Watch fame...

One of the main aims of the LPUK over the next 12 months is to convert ourselves from an online talking-shop into a real-world, campaign based, political party.
Now of course this is going to be quite a task given the resources at our disposal and the opposition we face. However, we are already making good progress towards this goal.
Gavin Webb, the UK's only Libertarian Councilor, has put together the website freemancampaigns.com to help Libertarians easily produce campaign material so they can organise in their local area.
Also in the South East we have already run our first campaign day in St Albans and we have many more planned.
So, how can you help us fight for liberty? Simple, you can give us one of two things. You can give us your time or a little of your money.
If you have time available and you live in the South East join our activists group and help us organise our campaign days. Or if you live elsewhere in the UK join freemancampaigns.com and start organising with your party branch in your local area.
But if like many of us you are very busy you can donate just a few quid to help us run our campaigns. For example -- for every £200 we raise we can print over 10,000 flyers or more than 5,000 newsletters which will help us promote the Party and libertarianism. Donations can be made on our website or you can transfer money directly to our Acc. No. 92635313 Sort Code 40-28-20.
If you can spare a little of the above you will make a big difference and helps us Fight for Liberty Today.

It's quite clear that of all the statists from around the world we could have running our country we have the worst.
Brown is now so out of touch that even his fellow statists think he's nuts after he announced his transaction tax plan...
But even more odd was Brown's statement that...
This clearly shows Brown has absolutely no grasp of reallity. Given that it was he and his Government that bailed out the banks and made sure we all bore the costs of their failure.
I'm just wondering what he'll do next. Maybe he'll come out as a flat-earther.
Brown is now so out of touch that even his fellow statists think he's nuts after he announced his transaction tax plan...
Although officials later insisted that the UK was not wedded to the idea of a transactions levy – often termed a “Tobin tax” – the prime ministers’ intervention sparked an unusual degree of criticism from the G20, where delegations are increasingly irritated by his attempts to browbeat them into new policies.
Tim Geithner, the US Treasury secretary said: “A day-by-day financial transactions tax is not something we are prepared to support”, while Dominique Strauss Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund repeated his long-standing position that a Tobin tax is “a very old idea that is not really possible today”. One G20 official sensed there was no ripping enthusiasm for Mr Brown’s ideas across the G20.
But even more odd was Brown's statement that...
"It cannot be acceptable that the benefits of success in this sector are reaped by the few but the costs of its failure are borne by all of us"
This clearly shows Brown has absolutely no grasp of reallity. Given that it was he and his Government that bailed out the banks and made sure we all bore the costs of their failure.

Vote Tory, for why ? their cast iron guarantees count for absolutely nothing.
The LPUK did not fight the Euro elections because it made a policy decision not to engage or give legitimacy to an organisation that does not of the assent of the citizens of this country, they were not asked. Labour promised a Referendum and the Tories promised the same. Same Result, you don't count.
Libertarianism is about have as little Government as possible and as close to the people as possible NOT creating super states, that only benefit the political classes.
Virtually every Party including UKIP and BNP were queuing up to stand for the EU gravy train, even the 'nationalist' parties of Wales,Scotland and Kernow were queuing up on the grounds of getting bigger subsidies from the EU. You do not become wealthier by creating bigger chains to hold you down.
The Tory Party is now heading for a damaging split over Europe again, because it is has two EU personalities that are utterly incompatable.
The Monarchy has signed all of these Bills ceding power to a supra national, undemocratic organisation since 1974 and has largely been supine as an institution to the will of the Political classes determined that we become a less accountable society.
Never mind the fiction of the NWO conspiracists the Imperial EU has arrived, because you all voted Labour,Conservative,Social Democrat,BNP and UKIP, the sensible ones did not vote and therefore gave legitimacy to this Coup D'Etat
Unless there is an umbrella opposition to this form 'gerrymandering' style of Government, our individual Liberties will be further driven underfoot.
UPDATE
The Czechs have ratified the Lisbon Treaty. There was no serious opposition to this in the Rotten Parliament.

So we see the Treasury parading "their plan" for the break-up of State-supported banks to "increase competition on the High Street".
Andrew Neil has neatly pulled back the Treasury's velvet curtain to expose the pretence and falsehoods of the announcement. I shall not repeat what he says.
Did Darling-Brown know that the EU would force this, in which case they were at best disingenuous and even fraudulent when putting the case to Lloyds, or were they just* incompetent?
Either way it shows that The Treasury is NOT Sovereign in the UK anymore. It is set to degrade from being an independent Sovereign entity to a regional head office, to a mere branch and then, finally, the indignity of being an ATM.
Lloyds would not have failed. Barclays did not. HSBC did not. Had RBS been slapped hard enough on the back to spit out Nat West, the latter would have survived without State aid.
All four English "High Street Banks" not requiring State Aid to see them through the crisis? That does not fit into the plan. That would not give the Devil, I mean, the State a chance to get its control-freak fingernails into the Banks' operations, to "manage the market".
What it will do is send a message to all financial institutions as to "who is boss". It might make some kow-tow to The State in the short term, but only for as long as they can restructure and move their wealth and operations elsewhere behind the scenes. London as a major financial hub is threatened yet again by the combination of our current abominable Labour administration and their puppet-masters in Brussels. To think it is not part of a plan then again puts us onto the alternative, that of their utter incompetence.
Either way we need rid of the puppet-master and the election of a new Administration free of puppets. Common sense will tell you to get both we need the latter before we can achieve the former.
* I say "just" as I think this term applies across both cases.

It seems that I'm a celebrity swimmer Rebecca Adlington has got her swim suit in a twist because of what a comedian has said...
All I can say is well done Frankie Boyle for standing up for freedom of speech and not caving into the BBC. It's just a shame he had to leave Mock the Week as he was the best thing about it.
Sadly there is a worrying belief developing in this country where people assume they have a right not to be offended.
This is nonsense and dangerous as it can only curtail freedom of speech. Ultimately if you don't like what someone has to say don't watch, listen or hang around with them. Then you won't be offended.
So in 'solidarity' with Frankie Boyle and freedom of speech I shall re-publish the content that got him in so much trouble. And remember if you don't wish to be offended don't watch it...
Olympic swimming champion Rebecca Adlington has made a formal complaint accusing the BBC of not being tough enough on a comedian who made a joke about her.
In a letter to the BBC Trust, the double gold medallist said she felt Frankie Boyle had been let off with a "slap on the wrist" after he made a jibe about her appearance.
...
Boyle has remained unrepentant about his comments and has so far refused to apologise.
He has since quit Mock The Week and in an interview with Time Out he criticised the BBC for being dull and only showing cooking and property programmes.
He said: "If you look at the scheduling nowadays, it's all just celebrities meeting meerkats."
The gag was made on the BBC gameshow Mock The Week when Boyle said Miss Adlington resembled "someone looking at themselves in the back of a spoon".

It appears that the Tory position will be to "renegotiate" over our EU status, but not to have a referendum or just repeal the ratification of Lisbon.
What would they do, what COULD they do in those negotiations? Lisbon is signed. Lisbon can self-amend. The EU can string out talks for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years. What can David Cameron do? What is his "walk away" position?
To get a proper renegotiation, one would need to have the ability and the will to adopt the "Nuclear Option" as in pull out of the EU entirely by repealing the 1972 Act. As no Parliament can bind its successors - and not forgetting that no MP nor Parliament is authorized to hand over sovereignty to foreign powers to begin with - the ability exists. The will is another mater. I am certain there is no will in the current leadership of the Tory Party.
While Dave is in interminable talks with EU filibusters in Brussels, the Tories will go merrily about their "own" (?) plans at deepening Regionalisation along the boundaries decided by the EU whilst the Commission will be self-amending the Treaty. For talks to work for the UK the EU needs a good reason to keep Dave at the negotiation table and to close a deal. They do not have one, nor, given the lack of sanction, do they NEED one.
The EU, I am certain, will not mind talking. Talk is cheap. They will listen to the demands then come back with a "compromise" that will gain favourable headlines but in fact concede nothing of any lasting power or value just as the "red lines" gained the UK nothing in reality.
We appear to be undergoing a ghastly "Bait and Switch" exercise with Labour and Conservatives hand in Fabian glove.
EDIT: I posted something similar to the above as a comment on this post over at Conservative Home. It was up last night but my comment did not see daylight. For shame, TimM, for shame.

Many United supporters were unaware of the trouble that had occurred elsewhere at half time, and felt this sudden police display just in front of them was a gross over-reaction by the forces of law and order.
So the following response suddenly erupted from United fans:
"We pay for your hats. What a waste of council tax!" they chanted. "We pay for your hats!"
Classic !

This is a really fantastic article by Jesus Huerta de Soto on anarchocapitalism...
I would really suggest everyone read it. Because while you may not agree with everything he says he makes a very important point about re-thinking liberal arguments for the 21st Century.
In this first decade of the 21st century, liberal thought, in both its theoretical and political aspects, has reached a historic crossroads. Although the fall of the Berlin Wall and of real socialism beginning in 1989 appeared to herald "the end of history" (to use Francis Fukuyama's unfortunate and overblown phrase), today, and in many respects more than ever, statism prevails throughout the world, accompanied by the demoralization of freedom lovers.
Therefore, an "aggiornamento" of liberalism is imperative. It is time to thoroughly revise liberal doctrine and bring it up to date in light of the latest advances in economic science, and the experience the latest historical events have provided.

This is one of the arguments in support of the EU I truly hate...
Mary Riddell's view is simply ridiculous.
Essentially what she is saying is that we should throw away our liberties and accept an anti-democratic EU just so we can pretend to play hard ball with the US and China.
First, do we as a country actually want to stomp around the world like the US and China? No, what we want is peace and trade which is just as easy to acheive as Britain as it as the EU.
And second, do we honestly believe even as the United States of Europe we can threaten the US and China. To really play hard ball with these countries the EU would have to support a large and expansionist millitary. Something which recent history indicates is of little interest to EU member states.
If faux-world-power is the only decent argument in favour of the EU, why do we even bother with it? I have no idea. But what we can be sure of is trading liberties for power really isn't a very good deal at all.
Today's issue is the waning of British power. William Hague may fancy himself as Lord Palmerston, but any remnant of Britannia's rule has been eroded by recession and dwarfed by the might accruing to the US and China. No wonder talk of the "special relationship" provokes a pitying smile from Obama's henchmen. Europe is the only British show in town. Its institutions are imperfect and inefficient, as the centre-Left should be more willing to admit. Even so, the EU is the sole locus of Britain's future influence and a necessary linchpin of a multi-polar world. That is why the first president is so crucial to the EU and the UK alike.

I am currently smiling at the mounting hysteria of the left that another far left political party is going to appear on BBC's question time.
The BNP is a legally registered party with a particularly loathesome message, but then again so is Nu-Labour. I listen to what they say, but it does not mean that I will accept the message. Only Stalinists think that the media is so pervasive that I will automatically go and vote for this message or that message. I am perfectly able to think for myself.
As to the BNP's message, this is the inevitable response to Labour closing down the debate on mass immigration with the lazy and simple expedient of yelling 'racist' at people. They will still carry on thinking that they are not happy with multi culturism, and spending vast sums on translation services because incomers will not learn English. They can see the housing policy failures, the added burden on the State as most of the incomers are dirt poor who are coming here in the full expectation that they will have a better life. That is not unreasonable.
Just because Labour don't want to talk about it, does not mean that it is not an 'ishoo', with the vast bulk of their core support.
The Labour Party's favourite mouth piece 'The One Show' lead the charge last night with a very overt political broadcast, the hourly news on the BBC has become even more strident. Also the disgraced Peter Hain has dared make pronouncements on the subject of the BNP appearance on Primetime TV.
When the Rotten Parliament has proved so willing to feather its own nest, they should not act so surprised
Its about moral leadership. The British still have a belief in Free Speech and do not believe that banning everthing achieves very much.
