It seems these days not a day goes by without the government introducing new ways of circumventing the legal process. With powers that are supposed to be used to fight terrorism used against people who issues that they can only highlight on the streets

Criminalizing a generation of young people with asboes rather then address the causes of anti social behaviour

Making people homeless with Tenancy Demotion orders that social landlords like whitefriars have use to evict complaining tenants knowing people cannot get access to legal representation in the city.

These days we seem to have a mirad of badly trained psudo policeman walking the streets as landlord estate wardens, council wardens ,police community support officers and city centre security staff . Now we have landlords security staff patrolling tower blocks acting like prison wardens.

I suppose its ok for homeowners who do not have to put up with a cure to social ills that seems worse then the disease.

Things have changed a lot and for the worst.
We have troops fighting illegal wars
Extraditing British citizens to be tortured by American third parties and doing the kind of stuff you would associate with the world war Japanese and nazis.

The government talks a lot about respect but show the opposite to people here and abroad. I guess it’s the American way. Whatever it does not seem there is a lot left of the united kingdom left to be proud off.

I remember when Tony Blair came into power with the slogan things can only get better . If the conservative government were labelled the nasty party labour are winning that label hands down.

Mr Brown talks of England as being a country of fair play and tolerance. Really fair play would be to say how many people in prison were brought up in government parental care rather then scapegoat the asbo parents.

I think people see a twisted and convoluted government and it is not surprising that the establishment follow there lead.
Its not surprising for our troops to come home with the same attitude to human rights and respect for life that they have experienced in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How long before what they do there is translated to what is acceptable here.

How bad can it get if we follow the American way of how they treated their own people in New Orleans.
Is the new world order perpetual war on terrorism fought in a way that effects us more then the terrorist. I watch the news and it all looks like a lot of home goals that Ben laden must be very happy with.


P.S please do not construe anything I have written as supporting terrorism or violence to anybody just telling it as I see it.

The treatment of this Housing Association tenant should serve as a warning to all council tenants facing privatisation of their housing stock.

If you go down the housing association route, you lose your tenancy rights.

Tenants that are seen as trouble makers, that is those that criticise the housing association, are targeted and evicted.

Peter Sandy, a tenant activist was repeatedly targeted by Pavilion and threatened with eviction. Now he is a councillor, mates of Pavilion at the Rotten Borough, especially head of housing, are trying to get him kicked out as a councillor by peddling a pack of lies to the Standards Board for England.

Even if you are a secure tenant, you are not safe.

Pavilion tenants at Firgrove Court in Farnborough are being kicked out of their homes by Pavilion, in order that their homes may be demolished to enable the land to be sold for a car park for an unwanted superstore. The existing tenants are being forced out by allowing their homes to fall into disrepair. Rushmoor head of housing Alison Whiteley turns a blind eye to the state of their homes, condones Pavilion ripping out kitchens, bathrooms and boilers of empty properties to render them uninhabitable.

A year ago, Pavilion was taken over by Eastleigh-based Atlantic to form First Wessex. Down in Eastleigh, Atlantic are kicking old people out of bungalows in order that their homes can be demolished to make way for flats.

Up North, Sunderland Housing Group is hounding any critics.

he can make it to Glasgow then contact  prinzerle@hotmail.com for some non-patronsing support.
