South Essex’s High Rate Of London Drug Dealers

Southend and Basildon have been drawing in some of the largest amounts of young drug traffickers from London gangs and a new report from London City Hall shows the extent and nature of county lines activity that has been going on in the metropolis, and it reveals that between January 2018 and April 2019, 121 people were referred to the City Hall funded Rescue and Response programme and that had ties to Essex.

That’s more than any other county in the United Kingdom besides Norfolk where there were 416 links and Hampshire with 369. This included 36 from Southend and 30 from Basildon.

The programme aims to provide help to young people in London involved in county lines gangs. County lines refer to gangs forcing vulnerable individuals, including kids as young as 11 years old into trafficking drugs from big municipalities to provincial regions.

The trouble and misery caused by drug gangs, knife crime and county lines operations are growing in Essex and Essex Police has its own team, “Operation Raptor”, which operates specifically to stop drug-related violations in the county.

And Martin Terry, cabinet member for community safety and customer contact at Southend Council stated that county lines drug dealing was their number one focus.

This kind of activity is absolutely terrifying and it destroys people’s lives and produces a lot of crime behind it and it frequently picks on defenceless people but this figure comes as no shock whatsoever and what’s happening in Southend is happening as a consequence of under-resourcing of the police.

There are the knife arches that have been put up in town resulting in some seizures and it does appear to be the police’s number one focus and it does look like the police are doing all that they can but they’re continually striving to find ways of getting resources for Southend.

The resources have to go where the crime is and some £5000,000 of additional funding has been designated to tackle so-called county lines gangs from Essex County Council.

Sadly, county lines drugs gangs are a real and immediate threat to neighbourhoods up and down the county but much more needs to be done to prevent kids from getting ensnared by drugs gangs.

But what we actually need is to get this problem nipped in the bud once and for all but the principal problem here is policing numbers and even though they want to prevent the problem, the police are only responding when the crime has already happened.

By the time the teenagers are found and arrested, they’ve already perpetrated these terrible wrongs and their lives are transformed forever and there have been a number of complaints from residents who see drug dealing from car windows and youngsters on pushbikes coming up and taking the deliveries and of course, the police want to be there, but they simply don’t have the resources.

But the courts also need to support the police because we now need more than ever a zero-tolerance approach to these fungi that vend these drugs.

There’s an increasing number of dealers in Southend and their very presence is increasing the size of the market, but what’s more frustrating is that you can see drug dealing activity happening brazenly on the streets.

The police ask the public to inform them of any drug dealing activity but it’s apparent that if a member of the public reported an activity it would have no effect as the dealer would be long gone before the police would even arrive and there’s nothing in place to hinder the dealers.

I know that I’d like my taxes to be used on police resources, rather than being spent on people in power but I believe the problem we need to be dealing with is to quit questioning why people do drugs in the first place.

And just because drugs are something people choose to do, doesn’t suggest that there are thousands of people who do drugs on an everyday basis, but there are people who do enjoy taking drugs.

I have no interest in skydiving or bungee jumping but there are some people out there that do, but this kind of adventure also brings risk, the same goes for motor racing, skiing, snowboarding, horse riding and mountain climbing.

Of course, they all carry risks and people have died or been badly injured due to all these pastimes, yet their pastimes are socially acceptable but then I guess adults should be able to decide what they want to do with their own bodies without being punished for it but it is time these dealers were taken off the streets.

We could actually respect people’s choices for what they do, but when it’s the relative of a 14-year old who’s been raped and exploited, then that’s different and what an adult does is down to them but some youngsters don’t get that choice.

The simple truth is that you can’t prevent this as long as there is a demand for them, they will come and it doesn’t matter how much you educate, people will still do what they want to do. What’s actually needed is a new approach to lessen the risk of harm to those who participate, rather than demonising their personal choices, leaving them more open to harm.

Children as young as 12 years old in most regions of the country are being detained for dealing Class A drugs, including crack, heroin and cocaine and it was reported that in 2016, 71 per cent of police forces had arrested children under the age of 16 on suspicion of supplying crack, heroin or cocaine.

And when all types of Class A substances were examined, the proportion of authorities arresting under 16s for hard drug dealing increased to 86 per cent. Further investigations provided suggestions that children as young as eight were being engulfed into a life of drug dealing where gangs use pain as a method of asserting their authority, knives, Tasers, boiling water and acid as weapons.

And it’s been said that London schoolchildren are being sent to deal from crackhouses as far away as Scotland, with the girls sometimes being raped and controlled by male gang members.

By the age of 14, some child drug dealers are already seasoned, they’ve done lots of things, sold lots of drugs and been in lots of traumatising situations and in Nottingham, a former teenage drug dealer talked of facing junkies wielding Rambo knives, and becoming so used to violence that one of them saw punishment beatings as merely business.

The concern is that this might be the next child exploitation scandal. There is also raised concerns about drug gangs exploiting minors who go missing from home or care and the government have called for such children to be treated as victims of grooming rather than criminals.

Patterns of grooming of children for criminal exploitation are quite similar to those of sexual exploitation and in the past, child sexual exploitation was usually regarded amongst professionals as the victim’s fault due to their precarious behaviour.

And vulnerable young people who are trafficked and exploited by gangs to deal drugs are still too often seen to have made a choice and are therefore criminalised rather than safeguarded and recognised as victims of the gangs who control them.

And the prevention of children being groomed and exploited in this context should be seen as a top priority for local and national decision-makers and whereas before the substances peddled by child pushers might have been soft drugs like cannabis, violent criminal gangs are now enticing young and younger children into dealing harder and harder drugs.

Reported incidents included a 13-year-old boy detained on suspicion of supplying crack and heroin in Norwich, a suspected 13-year-old heroin dealer in South Yorkshire, and a 13-year-old suspected cocaine dealer in the West Midlands, Lancashire and Kent.

The youngest child involved a 12-year-old boy, arrested in Dorset for possession of a Class A drug with the intention to supply but the police didn’t recover any controlled substances, so the boy was not charged, but was given advise and outside the Class A category, Humberside Police reported that they’d got an anonymous tip-off that a nine-year-old girl was supplying cannabis.

Detectives were unable to confirm the allegation, but the suggestion that dealers were now so young was reverberated by the charity and gang-intervention workers, who confessed to being alarmed at the extreme youth of some of the children concerned.

It begins as low as 8 years old, moving drugs on the street, a small package from outside the fast-food restaurant to drop off somewhere else and if that child loses that package, he will get beaten for it losing it and if he gets caught on another gang’s territory, they will beat him for being on their turf and take the package and then that child goes back to his gang and gets beaten up for getting beaten up.

There’s no decency, no scruples, no compassion and it’s a destructive vicious cycle and just how vicious was suggested by Colin James, the founder of London based Gangs Unite.

Colin James, 47, was a former gang member who now works to stop young people from making the same mistakes he did.

He’d just been trying to help a 16-year-old girl, she’d been abused and she had connections to four gangs, but she was owned by a boy from each gang, so if someone was the senior member of the gang member and he liked the girl, he would claim her and say that she was his.

The girls submit that and they might be used as a mattress, but protection, and all of those things that are offered by the gang, they prefer that to their own value and self-worth and it’s horrific, but they really can’t see that.

The 16-year-old girl had been shipped all over the place and they once found her in Scotland but it’s quite a normal thing for young people who have gone missing for days. They send them up to crackhouses but sometimes the girls are up there for just sexual reasons, but 99.9 per cent of the time, it’s because they’re selling drugs.

And there are increasingly widespread gangland practices on county lines, with gangs in large urban cities extending into county towns by means of a deal line. 

The mobile phone number is established from the urban base, while foot soldiers are shipped from the city or recruited in the county town.

Drug users in the county town phone the city-based deal line and then orders are given to the foot soldiers in the town, who deliver the crack, heroin or cocaine for the gangs and it helps if the foot soldiers are children who are cheap, expendable and easily controlled, with the added advantage of often being able to work under the police’s radar.

Some gangs solicit children without a criminal record. Others, target only white British children because they believe they’re less likely to be targeted by law enforcement and they put the children in cuckooed locations, usually crackhouses taken over by whatever force and coercion are needed.

And there are instances of firearms being kept visible at cuckooed addresses to scare victims, as well as drug users being grievously attacked or even abused as a display of power to other users and gangs and for children, it could mean that children are being recruited from within school where they end up in crackhouses somewhere in their school uniform, for days upon days, and promised loads of money that they never see.

It’s like a recruitment agency and when you think of these young people, it’s essentially like a business opportunity because children are drawn to trinkets, so they give them money and alcohol and they only need to recruit one child and once they’ve got that one child, they can do the recruiting for you, it’s like a domino effect.

And the artificial attraction and material wealth of a gangster is like attracting something shiny to a magpie and then they’re drawn into a lifestyle of no benefit to their soul.

These children are young and naive and they believe that the rewards will exceed the risks and even though they get frequent whippings, in the end, they believe that it’s simply business and they become child soldiers and become so accustomed to the violence that they simply accept it without question because the War on Drugs is big business.

And numerous children now are saying it’s easier for them to get class A drugs than alcohol, mind you, police cuts aren’t helping because police are almost non-existent on the streets now and as a result, people essentially do what they want unhindered.

 

 

 

  

Petition Launched To Scrap Privatised Disability Benefit Assessments

2_THP_CHP_290819SLUG_9065JPG.jpg

The brother of a disabled man who was refused essential benefits while he was dying has started a petition to stop the outsourcing of assessments to private companies by the UK government.

2_THP_CHP_290819SLUG_9061JPG.jpg

Jamie Oliver died on April 9 following a lengthy battle with chronic liver disease after being denied Personal Independence Payment by the DWP on the grounds that he wasn’t sick enough, not just once but twice.

But five months following his death, in one of the most hugely distressing and outrageous cock-ups that have made the DWP infamous, one of Jamie Oliver’s children found a letter saying an appeal hearing had been arranged for late September.

0_THP_CHP_290819SLUG_9062JPG.jpg

The move angered Jamie Oliver’s brother Dave Smith, of Hastings, whose MP happens to be Work and Pensions Secretary, Amber Rudd and in an inflammatory Facebook post, he wrote: “I honestly cannot think of an organisation as shambolic, insensitive, incompetent and unhelpful as the DWP and the soon all this PIP and Universal Credit fiasco is kicked into touch the better.”

0_THP_CHP_290819SLUG_9027JPG.jpg

Dave Smith has started a petition that he hopes will secure enough signatures, 100,000, to ensure the issues are discussed in parliament.

His petition calls for an end to the use of private contractors for DWP disability benefit assessments, both for PIP and for employment and support allowance and its Universal Credit equivalent.

0_THP_CHP_290819SLUG_9063JPG.jpg

Dave Smith said in the petition that the disability benefit assessment system has been linked to numerous deaths and expedited deaths, like his brothers and he, said that he believes that there have been many falsifications in the written assessment reports completed by nurses, paramedics and occupational therapists working for Atos and Capita, the other PIP assessment contractor.

And if you feel strongly about this, then please sign:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/274312

A government spokesperson said that they’re investigating the matter to stop this happening again but how many times have they said this over the years, so clearly nothing has been learned from this and it now seems that the DWP is the Church of Satan.

And there are many people out there having assessments where the medical reports were full of inaccuracies, distorting the medical facts and what was really said, and flat out lying with the inclusion of comments that were never said.

And when will people begin to realise that the DWP is no longer a government department that’s there to support them when they need help because the DWP, in its existing form, is there for one purpose and one purpose only, to try to claw back benefits from people who urgently need them and are entitled to.

Hence the outsourcing of assessment to shameful disability denial firms such as ATOS, Capita and Maximus, the latter being branded a criminal organisation by a high court in California and there’s an idiom used by psychologists “Corporate Evil” that seems to represent the DWP specifically.

A government spokesman said their thoughts were with Jamie Oliver’s family at this difficult time and that they were really sorry for the distress caused and were looking into this to stop this from happening again… and again… and again, and again…

But if the DWP were a private organisation they would have been shut down years ago as being unfit for purpose because this is a weaponisation of the warfare state against the people and it proceeds to go on because we are at war with this government, make no mistake.

The problem is that innocent, genuine people are being caught up in this repugnant system which is being governed by workshy story-tellers. Only doctors should be carrying out these assessments, and there should never be any further assessments for any person who’s been diagnosed as terminal.

But then our government are cruel, brutal, overbearing degenerates and the sooner they’re removed from office, the better because this poor man didn’t stand a chance with these heartless mutts and they’re always looking into it, always saying that they’re sorry, always looking for it not to happen again, yet it does over and over again.

2_Prime-Minister-Boris-Johnson-Appoints-His-Cabinet.jpg

And it’s a shame that the DWP and Amber Rudd can’t be done for Corporate Manslaughter as their methods and shortcomings in the system frequently cause death that comes quicker due to the stress that it causes or even more so, death.

Jamie Oliver only wanted to live the closing days of his life happy and also not to suffer alone and he required support and assistance with day to day life. The thing is, the DWP don’t give a shag, especially now that he’s dead.

Sure, they will have sent out an apology letter that is merely assigned to deal with situations like this but at the end of the day people to them are simply an invisible entity and the DWP are your masters.

And the DWP has a policy of rejecting a preponderance of claimants because they’re shadowing the scraps of David Cameron’s austerity agenda.

Our governing classes are absolute rabble, concerned solely with protecting their privilege, their unmerited money and their status but no one will do anything because everyone is too content to sit in front of the TV or their Facebook accounts until it’s too late and it’s their turn to be shafted.

You can’t get any more ill than terminally ill and I just have no words for the DWP and it’s no surprise the country is a mess with the dimwits that we have in government and it seems that the DWP have no emotions and positively no brains and shame on the Tories because as long as their pockets are plentiful, none of them cares for the neediest.

And what makes me sick to the stomach is the fact that this was a legitimate case and countless people have lost their lives because they’ve been denied PIP and not only that, some people are giving the government consent to do this with their approval.

Jamie Oliver should be given what he was entitled to and the DWP should be backdating it, at least then his family would be able to use it as they see fit, at least it will help out for his funeral so that he can go off in style.

DWP is so keen to refuse benefits to qualified people while they’re still alive but then they get huge gratuities for denials, and all I can say is that subhumans work for this agency who are prepared to earn more money with bonuses so that they can see people suffer.

What I would like to say is that some of these people claim to be Christians, so if they died and ever met Jesus at the pearly gates face to face what would their reason be for their actions and the terrible consequences they’ve caused?

What explanation would they give for causing the death of thousands of defenceless people? What would they say? They did it to save money and it didn’t matter that it caused deaths.

This was someone’s father and for some, they will know what it’s like to lose someone and know that they will never see them again, it’s the most difficult thing anyone has to do, particularly when you have to tell grandchildren that they won’t see their grandad again and trying to explain why.

The answer is simple actually. The DWP did Jamie Oliver wrong and sent him into a downward spiral and these people from the DWP aren’t stupid, they knew that if they denied him money it would take a toll on his well-being and that’s called genocide!

 

This Is Only The End Of The Beginning Of Our Brexit Civil War

english-civil-war-2500x1667.jpg

Let no one think it will soon be over and this is only the end of the beginning, in a Brexit civil war that will last a generation and there appears to be no end in sight, no healing in prospect, no solution to hand and people are sick of the sight and sound of Brexit.

And if we go out without a No Deal, it will have the most malignant ending and it will be national suicide and there’s no need to repeat the obvious reasons why crashing out would be a crippling economic disaster that would turn us into a pariah state.

ZcshnG_T_400x400.png

And then you had the devil may care David Davis wantonly reneged on certified EU debts with indifference and stated that they would keep the £39 billion and use it as they saw fit and London’s Metropolitan Police were advising additional security for shops to guard against No Deal panic buying.

But our country doesn’t deserve punishment for this Brextremist stupidity and Brexiters will only blame the fallout on the EU, the nasty toads and browbeating Fritzes and there will be no national healing found amongst the queues populated by our equivalent of the old Soviet babushkas carrying perhaps bags for whatever might be available to buy.

But would a Norway option be healing? It has a pleasant jingle to it, invoking the kind of civilised Nordic cold compress the country so very badly needs and some of the nicer Tories back this trade-off.

It keeps us closer to our neighbours, satisfying the Remainers with the single market, free movement and possibly adding in the customs union. How homey the EEA and EFTA sound, roosting on the out rim of the EU with the chance of a return in saner days.

But the EU will reject the same deal as Norway, while Norway, Lichtenstein and Iceland don’t want us big-footing their club and before we do this terrible thing, the people should be asked if this is what they want.

Of course, a referendum would be another hell of its own and we don’t need Benedict Cumberbatch reminding us of the depths to which referendums sink and people might still cling to Brexit, but there is a growing chance voters will step back.

And even that won’t be the end because even if Remain wins, the turbulence will still go on and the Tory party may divide, as it should, with the Brexit axis set to raise deformation.

Nigel Farage threatens a people’s army, claiming dangerously that Parliament is against the people. Boris Johnson stirred conspiracy paranoia by suggesting the deep state is hindering Brexit and Chris Grayling warned of no-Brexit unrest, near as dammit inciting a riot.

At the end of the day, no kind of Brexit will ever be enough for them and the only defence against their threats is asking the people to choose and it’s the only hope of soothing national wraths when Parliament can’t.

  

 

 

  

 

We Must All Stop The Descent Into Hatred And Vitriol

GettyImages-1173069709-1160x773.jpg

We are a nation torn by Brexit.

It’s segregated communities, friends and families and how we manage this moment of national emergency is a test of our character and it’s a test of our politicians as well and the Prime Minister has a particular obligation to attempt to strengthen the country and not to divide it.

That’s what Boris Johnson pledged when he stood to be the leader of the Conservative party yet everything he’s done since is the actions of someone who will propagate division, agitate prejudice and kindle tensions if he believes it can benefit him politically.

And now he’s reached his most profound moment when he repeatedly used the language of surrender about his adversaries, displayed no respect for the memory of murdered MP Jo Cox, and stated it was nonsense when an MP spoke about death threats she’d received and Boris Johnson’s performance was no fluke, it was a conscious tactic.

Boris Johnson believes that by rallying up resentment and division, he can condemn everyone else for the mayhem the country is in and wipe his hands of accountability and he wants to pretend that we can crash out with No Deal on 31st October without consequences for you and your family and that anyone standing in his way is treasonous.

And people have shared the extensive disappointment that over three years on from the Brexit vote, we’re still stuck as a nation but we can and must find a way forward without sinking into resentment and vitriol and we must get back as a country to all the issues that matter so much, like the NHS, schools, jobs and housing because the vast preponderance of us do share values of tolerance, respect and honesty and before 2016 that’s what we used to be known for around the world.

Now people simply look at the hostility and division and question if we’ve forgotten who we really are and our democracy depends on all of us, not only MPs, being able to articulate frankly without hesitation or favour and that depends on us all ascribing to each other the best motives, not the worst and it depends on us seeking to unite and not divide.

ed-miliband.jpg

I guess this was a somewhat conciliatory appeal from Ed Milliband, even though it’s the same noxious atmosphere with those incapable of self-criticism still playing the blame game, repeating old mantra’s that have become ingrained in their consciousness.

The referendum result was not something set in stone and people were made all kinds of promises – cake and eat it, easiest deal in history, they need us more than we need them and because of these hollow promises, we’re now in the position of Boris Johnson’s thick-witted No Deal Brexit, where he commits harm to everyone, or attempting a poor deal, or staying in.

But instead of negotiating a good deal, or staying in, we have the children pulling us into a self-harm situation and people will soon understand that in early November if a No Deal happens, there will be inevitable deaths, stonking price increases, deficits, disorder, smiling wayfarers et cetera because we only have to see the impact Thomas Cook going belly up has had on airfares to know that hell is coming our way.

And if you think that Dominic Cummings has got everything prepared, then you’re fooling yourself because all the principal Leavers are doing this for themselves, NOT for you.

Children As Young As Six Are To Be Given Compulsory Self-touching Lessons

18773254-7490415-image-a-98_1569112886699.jpg

Children as young as six are being educated about touching or stimulating their own genitals as part of classes that will become mandatory in hundreds of primary schools and some parents think the lessons which are part of a questionable new sex and relationships teaching programme called “All About Me” is sexualising their young children.

One couple said that they were so upset they removed their sons from lessons at the school where the programme is already being taught but “All About Me” is being rolled out across 241 primaries by Warwickshire County Council and could be utilised by other local authorities next year as part of the Government’s overhaul of Relationship and Sex Education (RSE).

And family campaigners and religious groups warned that obscure guidelines announced by the Department for Education meant schools could shortly be providing sexual material to young children that countless parents would deem unsuitable.

school3.jpg

And even politicians who’d supported the RSE legislation expressed concern and countless parents will be enraged at completely improper sexual matters being taught to children as young as six and these classes go way past the guidance the Government is presenting and it would be effectively sexualising particularly young children.

Documents obtained details how “All About Me” classes involve students aged between six and ten being told by teachers that there are rules about touching yourself and an explanation of rules about self-stimulation appears in the scheme’s Year Two lesson plan for sex and seven-year-olds.

Under a section called Touching Myself, teachers are encouraged to tell children that many people like to tickle or stroke themselves as it might feel nice. They’re further instructed to tell youngsters that this may include their private parts, and while some people may say this behaviour is dirty, it’s in fact, quite normal.

standard-picture-stock-education-190712-04-720x390.jpg

However, the youngsters are warned that it’s not polite to touch themselves in public and that it’s an activity they should do when alone in the bath, shower or in bed. In the same lesson, children are given scenarios which they must judge to be Okay or not Okay.

In one, students are told that when a girl called Autumn has a bath and is alone she likes to touch herself between her legs. It feels nice and at this point, teachers are encouraged to tell the students of the rules about self-stimulation.

The guidance on touching is repeated in lesson plans for Years Four and Five, involving students aged eight to ten and as part of the Government’s RSE reforms, all primary schools will be expected to teach compulsory relationships education from next September.

It encompasses topics about families, friendships, online relationships, privacy and being safe. Sex education tailored to the requirements of their pupils is also recommended, but not compulsory.

Warwickshire has begun relationship lessons in some primaries ahead of the national launch, including sessions discussing self-stimulation but from next September, parents will not be able to remove children from these lessons. 

And parents at Coten End Primary School in Warwick met with sex education consultant Jonny Hunt, one of the originators of the “All About Me” project, and raised concerns about some of its content and when asked why self-stimulation appeared in the Year Five lesson plans and why it was not in the non-compulsory sex education element of the programme, Jonny Hunt stated that self-stimulation or self-soothing was throughout the programme in earlier years as well and they were not teaching sex education but actually giving information around safe and appropriate touching.

And that however difficult adults might find it, children of all ages will self stimulate from time to time and that they may do this when anxious or just because it feels nice but Naomi and Matthew Seymour, whose two sons attend Coten End, strongly disagree with that assessment, concerned that their sons will be exposed to issues they were not ready to learn and they removed them from school for a week through which the programme was taught.

Mr Seymour’s wife cried the first time she read what was going to be in the lessons and said that this sexualisation of their children is just entirely improper and the school are calling it self touching and they won’t use the word masturbation, but when you read it, that’s precisely what they’re chatting about.

The Seymour’s don’t want to start a picket line or wave banners, they’re just an ordinary family and I’m sure numerous families who’ve seen these lesson plans will feel the same as they did.

Lynette Smith, a teacher who operates a company which provides RSE programmes for schools, stated that she sympathised with those concerned by the self-stimulation section of the Year Two curriculum and she stated that they never use the word self-stimulation, not in primary school because for them it was not appropriate.

Piers Shepherd, of the Family Education Trust, said RSE guidance was too obscure and he added that it was even more concerning that parents may be refused the chance to remove their children from these lessons if the school labels them as relationship education classes rather than as Sex Education.

Simon Calvert, of the Christian Institute, said that it looks like Warwickshire has paid more thought to a questionable sex education consultancy than to what parents understand to be in the best interests of their children.

But Warwickshire County Council said the lessons were tailored to the age and development level of the children, adding that while some of the matter may be sensitive for some, they believe it’s essential for children to get clear and consistent information about this important, but usually neglected topic.

The sex education consultant behind the “All About Me” programme is further expected to raise some eyebrows with his beliefs on marriage when last July, Jonny Hunt, 37, criticised draft Government guidelines for relationships and sex education for highlighting the significance of marriage.

Ironically, he married his partner Gemma the next month and the guidelines said that by the completion of primary school, students should know that marriage signifies a legal and lawfully recognised promise of two people to each other which is expected to be lifelong.

But railing against the continued importance of marriage, Mr Hunt wrote that there still appears to be the view that marriage presents a more regulated environment for children or for sex but this was not the case.

I’m certain there will be loads of people wanting to start a petition against this and it’s a nice thought but sadly, no one will pay any attention to these petitions but what we actually need is a nonviolent but yet determined physical presence in front of these freaks because we must not allow them to shut us up.

And now the Government appears to be fixated with our children’s sexuality which is somewhat lewd wouldn’t you say? And all of this paraphernalia should come under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 section 8 – Causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

However, I think that we’ve missed the complete sad side of this and maybe they should contemplate and think more about how this could affect vulnerable children. Maybe if a child is taught just how important their “special parts” are, it might then help them learn when they are actually being sexually abused.

At the end of the day, this shouldn’t be happening at all, a child of six years old is just a child and should be left to be a child because all of this will make children grow up too fast, although in the world that we now live in perhaps Sex Education should be taught a little earlier, but clearly not before 11 years old but what they want to teach is not Sex Education, it’s merely perversion and degradation.

Whoever’s behind all of this, where’s the focus on reading, writing and maths and since when did schools start to intervene in domains like this? This doesn’t appear to be the intervention of schools but the intervention of health professionals and it’s about time we started to home school our children instead of sending them to government-run schools.

And it seems that the debauchery of young children has gone up a level and they should quit pushing these unwanted things onto our children and just let them be children.

It’s highly unacceptable that any child should be taught that it’s okay to touch yourself, or even watch others, this is not ethical or acceptable in our society. Instead we should be teaching them to cook, sew or at least something practical, instead of these ridiculous suggestions, especially when children have no concept at the age of 6 years old, that their bodies have these senses and even if they do, these children have no idea why and it’s only when they start to ask why that it might be even a little appropriate for a parent to explain. A PARENT, not a TEACHER!

What the government are actually doing, but nobody can see it, is that they’re stealing a generation of children because when all said and done our children do not belong to us any longer, they belong to the state.

And seriously, do they honestly expect caring parents to put their child into this manner of teaching environment? And if this is the standard of education these days, then it seriously needs to be examined.

This is a revolting sexualisation of children and parents need to actively get involved and we should be seriously concerned about the limits to which some teachers will go to in order to illustrate the effectiveness of touching oneself and I can see that this policy will result in numerous unintended and probably criminal outcomes.

Plus we should be telling our children to watch most carefully about what is being taught to their children because people are usually too nice to make a complaint and the authorities need to be called out on this.

First, it was gender issues and same-sex relationships in primary school and now this! And there is no need for this to be mentioned until they’re at least in secondary school, all children really need to know is how to respect other people and most importantly themselves.

By teaching them how to value themselves they would then see that their body is their own and nobody else’s to defile and you only have to look at this man Jonny Hunt to be extremely concerned and to further understand this is an entirely absurd programme.

This man is such a fraud, talking down marriage only weeks before committing to it himself, he’s clearly a confused, untrustworthy person who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near schools or children.

No wonder we’re seeing more and more sexual associated criminality in young children because sex is being imposed upon them when they should still be experiencing the old-style simplicity of childhood and this is simply another instance of such people as Hunt benefiting from unacceptable practices while shallow politicians get more and more immersed in our children’s education which is quickly failing and maybe some of these people supporting this should maybe have random hard drive inspections.

This is immoral, the state securing the parental right to be the first teacher of your children in anything and this should be questioned in court at once. The state should not be teaching your children, religion, sexuality, or apparently, common sense since they have no jurisdiction or ability whatsoever in these fields and it should make us a little sceptical about the ethics and intentions of certain Warwickshire councillors.

But as usual, us Brits will simply sit back and do nothing, no objections, nothing.

I would say that most 6-year-olds wouldn’t have a clue about sex because they’re too occupied playing with their toys, skipping, and playing hopscotch because children should be allowed to be children without the interference of a nanny state.

Thank goodness I’m not a child anymore, but I do worry about my grandchildren but then the government can do anything they want when everyone sits back and does nothing and if an adult other than a teacher was to do this, they would be in prison faster than a Remainer vote in the Commons, it’s sickening!

But then we’re all flushing morality down the toilet and it’s not going to end well and you have to ask yourselves, who benefits if children are sexualised so young?

Well, in 2010, it was published “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe”, a structure of policymakers, education and health professionals and experts and a whole nine years ago that publication spoke about “The Sexuality Education Matrix” with a chapter called “Why should Sexuality Education start before the age of four”.

So, folks, we all need to wake up and not get steamrolled over by whoever is accelerating this agenda because our children, grandchildren and future generations of society need us to stand up and be counted now.

This is seriously some disturbing poop because now adults are now urging our children to touch themselves and this should be something that the authorities should be going to jail for and if spanking your child comes under the heading of abuse then these adults that are promoting this act must have some serious sinister intentions.

And it’s not surprising that there’s no time in school now for actually teaching education subjects, it’s all about being politically correct and Sex Education. Thank goodness that the older members of our society grew up in an era where being at school was actually about expanding your knowledge to prepare you for a place in the world.

 

 

 

  

 

Upskirting Conviction

Daren-Timson-Hunt.jpg

An ex-government lawyer who used his mobile phone to take a photograph under a woman’s dress has been given a 24-month community order in one of the first convictions under a new law against upskirting.

Daren Timson-Hunt targeted a woman wearing a summery dress on the London Underground as she went for a job interview but the dad of one was spotted by a police officer hiding his phone between her legs and taking a photograph up the lady’s dress four or five times.

When Daren Timson-Hunt’s phone was examined, he was further found to have taken to videos of the woman. The 54-year-old, of Broadstone Road, Stanford Le Hope, Essex, England, admitted a charge of operating equipment underneath the clothes of another without permission on July 1 and was sentenced at Westminster Magistrate’s Court.

Prosecutor Katie Bryan informed the court that police inspector Pete Scottow spotted Daren Timson-Hunt as he took photographs on the carriage. The victim, Daren Timson-Hunt and the inspector got off the Tube at the Embankment, with the offender who was seen standing close behind the victim on the stairs.

Katie Bryan stated that Mr Scottow approached the victim, notifying her that he was an inspector of Scotland Yard, telling her that he thought a man had been taking photographs of her.

The inspector Mr Scottow then confronted a startled Daren Timson-Hunt about his activities and he was later arrested.

Ms Bryan also told the court that Daren Timson-Hunt had admitted what he’d done and said that he was sorry and that he didn’t know why he’d done it and that he’d never done anything like this before and was this something he could take a caution for?

Ms Bryan said on examination of Daren Timson-Hunt’s phone it showed two videos were taken of his victim and that the first, taken on the Tube, revealed that he had photographed up the victims dress and that you could see her undergarments and bare buttocks from underneath her dress.

The second showed Timson-Hunt had again attempted to film under the dress of the victim on the stairs and in a statement read out in the court, the victim said that she felt incredibly violated and that she found it extremely intrusive that he could do that to her and that it has left her feeling very annoyed and that it had made her lose focus for her interview.

But Nicholas Ornstin, mitigating, said that the life of this 54-year-old man had been totally destroyed by his actions on that day and he said that Timson-Hunt had no prior convictions and offered his complete and unequivocal apology to the victim in this matter.

Timson-Hunt was given a community order that will last for 24 months until September 25, 2021. The order comprises three conditions, the completion of a 35-day programme, 30 days rehabilitation activity and 60 hours of voluntary work.

Timson-Hunt was further ordered to join the Sex Offender’s Register for five years and must also pay £175 in court costs and a victim surcharge.

But it seems like courts don’t like sending their own to prison and it is astonishing that Timson-Hunt was not sent to jail, it merely confirms the job does apparently have privileges.

Well, that’s set a precedent, hasn’t it, no deterrent there whatsoever and we certainly wouldn’t want him living near us, particularly if he might have ideas of rifling through our undergarment drawer when he’s asked to dinner.

Perhaps he should take up a new hobby, go bird watching or something, that might stop his urges but at least he’s been named and shamed and will be ruined permanently and when you think about him upskirting, he has a wife for God’s sake.

Supreme Court Ruling

architecture-2671_1920-1.jpg

There were two appeals, one from the High Court of England and Wales and one from the Inner House of the Court of Session in Scotland but it’s also important to stress that these cases were not about when and on what terms the United Kingdom is to leave the European Union.

Boris-Johnson-downing-street.jpg

They were only about whether the information given by the Prime Minister to Her Majesty the Queen on 27th or 28th August, that Parliament should be prorogued from a period between 9th and 12th September until 14th October, was lawful and the legal consequences if it was not.

This question arises in circumstances which have never occurred before and are unlikely to arise again, and conceivably, this is just a one-off.

Briefly, the Scottish case was brought by a cross-party group of 75 members of Parliament and a QC on 30th July because of their concerns that Parliament might be prorogued to circumvent further debate in the lead up to exit day on 31st October.

dacosta.21009277.jpg

On 15th August, Nikki da Costa, the Director of Legislative Affairs at No 10, sent a memorandum to the Prime Minister, which was copied to seven people, civil servants and special advisers, recommending that his Parliamentary Private Secretary approach the Palace with a request for prorogation to begin with 9th-12th September and for a Queen’s Speech on 14th October, the Prime Minister ticked “yes” to that recommendation.

the-queen-eliabeth-ii-england-crown-today-news-latest-royal-family-1180775.jpg

On 27th or 28th August, in a phone call, he formally advised Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament amid those dates. On 28th August, Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg, Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Privvy Council, Mr Mark Harper, Chief Whip, and Baroness Evans of Bowes Park, Leader of the House of Lords, attended a meeting of the Privvy Council upheld by the Queen at Balmoral Castle.

An Order in Council was made that Parliament was to be prorogued between those dates and that the Lord Chancellor prepared and issue a commission for proroguing Parliament respectively.

A Cabinet meeting was held by conference call soon after that in order to bring the rest of the Cabinet up to speed on the decisions which had been taken. That same day, the decision was made public and the Prime Minister sent a letter to all Members of Parliament explaining it.

That same day, the settlement was made public and the Prime Minister sent a letter to all Members of Parliament explaining it and as soon as the ruling was declared, Mrs Miller began the English proceedings challenging its authenticity.

Parliament returned from the summer break on 3rd September and the House of Commons voted to decide for themselves what business they would conclude. The next day what became the European Union (Withdrawal) (No 2) Act passed all its stages in the Commons and it passed all its stages in the House of Lords on 6th September and gained royal assent on 9th September.

The purpose of that Act was to stop the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement on 31st October.

On 11th September, the High Court of England and Wales passed judgment rejecting Mrs Miller’s claim on the ground that the matter was not justiciable in a court of law. That same day, the Inner House of the Court of Session in Scotland announced its decision that the issue was justiciable, and that it was driven by the improper purpose of stymying Parliamentary inspection of the Government, and that it, and any prorogation which succeeded it, were illegal and therefore meaningless and of no consequence.

Mrs Miller’s appeal against the English settlement and the Advocate General’s appeal against the Scottish decision were heard by the court from 17th to 19th September and because of the importance of the case, a council of 11 Justices were assembled, the highest number of serving Justices who are authorised to assemble. The judgment was the collective judgment of all 11 Justices.

The primary question is whether the legality of the Prime Minister’s recommendation to Her Majesty was justiciable, the Court held that it was.

 

 

 

Boris Johnson Would Resign If He Had An Ounce Of Decency

skynews-boris-johnson-downing-street_4787044.jpg

Boris Johnson would resign if he had a measure of decorum, decency, sincerity or honesty in that body of his, as would Jacob Rees-Mogg who bowed to the Queen and then lied to her face.

_108995410_daniealleal-olivasgettyimages.jpg

And indeed Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings, the self-styled genius who acts like a buffoon, a bit like Boris Johnson actually but indeed the whole lot who contrived to break the law and draw the monarchy into politics should go – Quickly.

Proroguing Parliament illegally wasn’t Boris Johnson threatening to break the law, he did break the law because judgments don’t come more incriminating than the Supreme Court’s unanimous 11-judge searing conclusion.

And the adversaries of the people here are the heedless Boris Johnson and a Tory government of Brextremist extremists trampling over democracy. Shadowed by their deranged pursuit of power and delivery of an idiotic do or die Halloween hatred, Boris Johnson is a victim of his own vicious dishonesty, inadequacy and vanity.

jo-johnson.jpg

And his brother Jo Johnson isn’t alone in not trusting the Prime Minister and the Queen is probably wishing she could lock her fourteenth Prime Minister in the Tower and throw away the key.

Either Boris Johnson resigns and becomes the shortest Premier in antiquity or the Old Etonian incompetent endeavours to bluff his way forward. Either way, his reputation will never recover and should he humiliatingly attempt to cling to No 10, the people’s judgment at a General Election will be unmerciful.

ImageVaultHandler.aspx.jpg

It’s now time for a General Election, let the voters choose who they want to lead the United Kingdom and it’s a sad day for the Brexidopes when the most important court in the land says that the recent protestations against democracy were wrong.

And I bet no one will admit to being wrong in their support of Boris Johnson’s illegal activities and lies but I’m sure that some will even offer lengthy rebuttals against the highest court in the land and let’s not forget, and highlight their ego, superficiality and unreasonable unwillingness to accept that they’re sheep being driven by predators.

At the end of the day Boris Johnson lost the biggest court case in UK political history, he further lost 21 Members of Parliament, he lost his majority and he lost every vote in Parliament as Prime Minister. He lost two wives, and his self-respect, will he lose his job? Well, that wouldn’t shock anyone, but then it’s not a first for him.

Boris Johnson is of course, bad enough and he has too many skeletons in his closet and he has made the United Kindom look ridiculous but then name an honest politician.

And Boris Johnson may have said that he would abide by the decision, but he also disagreed with it but the problem with that because of his position as Prime Minister he’s encouraging people to disagree with the judicial system and that can only lead to disrespect for it and also the feeling that people will believe that they should violate the law.

The problem is, Members of Parliament have wilfully prevented the referendum decision and endeavoured to make a binary vote somehow conditional (deal), and introduced a new law to stop No Deal exit and made it difficult to obtain an agreeable settlement through complicity with the EU.

This will promote a complete distrust in the law and chaos is normally what follows and the law is never impartial, it’s supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, yet you have to establish your innocence in court, but it’s hilarious how the bankers get away with it all but then, the law only serves the elite.

And watching all the Tory trolls floundering is pretty entertaining and they no that no matter how many tales they write or whatever ridiculous games of semantics they play Boris Johnson is finished. The Tories will turn on him and he’ll be finished, but that’s only becoming for a man who used the Queen for his own vile intentions.

 

HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND

ca2a20bc-bc87-48c5-8b66-e9b5885974fe-large16x9_j.jpg

Obviously, the world has gone absolutely insane and pondering about it, I’m actually feeling submerged in a world gone mad and I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling down about the plight of the world right now.

In truth, the world has already caved in but in fact, decay has been spreading for decades especially when you read in the papers that a five-year-old autistic boy has been listed as a sex offender for embracing one classmate and kissing another on the cheek.

DSC_1074-min.jpg

 

The parents are devastated, and rightly so because this boys teacher accused him of sexual activities at East Ridge Elementary in Tennessee and now they claim that they’ve been informed that their son will be identified as a sex predator and will have this on his record permanently.

His guardian said she had received a telephone call from his school near the start of September that made her sick to her stomach.

First of all, she actually didn’t understand what was going on, after all, this is a five-year-old boy, he’s just a child and his life hasn’t even begun yet. The teacher of the boy called his guardian and said that they needed to have a conversation about his boundaries and not only that, the teacher further accused the boy of sexual activities.

5569328_hugging.jpg

This little boy now has a record for life and for those that don’t understand how autism works, you would think that this little boy was simply acting out or being rebellious, but that’s not the situation here – this little boy is Autistic.

The little boy’s guardian spoke to him and said that he couldn’t hug other children but he just asked: “Why?” and his guardian told him that it wasn’t allowed.

To bring something like this against a child is contemptible, this boy has special needs and he actually doesn’t realise what he’s done wrong but what do you do when your 5-year-old child is being labelled a sexual predator and accused of sexual harassment by the school system?

18918238-0-image-a-5_1569417541461.jpg

It was disclosed that it would go on his record for the remainder of his life that he’s now a sex offender but how can this be? This child is autistic and he understands and functions quite differently than any other normal 5 year old.

And who do you turn to for advice when the school won’t even listen to the child’s doctor when he explains the child’s problems in his knowledge of simple things such as boundaries and his guardian said the school claimed to have talked with the boy on many prior occasions.

Tim Hensley of Hamilton County Department of Education said that school employees were expected to raise concerns about children to the Department of Child Services but it’s up to the DCS to decide if those reports are acted on by DCS and what form those actions may take.

676df05a-9bc8-4b26-97a1-02844ae75b3d-large16x9_re.png

The little boy’s guardian has now verified that he’s now been moved to a different class with a different teacher and that he’s getting special educational services which of course, he should have been getting before this ludicrous indictment and obviously someone has gone totally barmy, there are simply no words for it.

But has anyone noticed the twist in this? When children bully or beat up other children, schools normally play it down or deny it ever occurred and some children are killing themselves due to this kind of activity, but when a teacher makes a huge deal of a child hugging another and kissing another on the cheek, he gets called a sexual predator.

But putting autism aside, a five-year-old hugging someone and kissing someone on the cheek is not sexual harassment and this is utterly ludicrous that he’s now been labelled as a predator for life but then this is the absurdity and insanity of the world now.

image.jpg

It’s shameful and nasty and now we have all these prudes and all this insane social engineering nonsense they bring with them.

A child wants to become a transgender child and that’s fine, he doesn’t even have to tell you about it and social services, schools and doctors will bend over to support it, but then you have this child and all the purity that he holds, hugs and kisses another pupil and he’s penalised for it.

The world has officially gone insane and you simply can’t comprehend the level of absurdity that the authorities must have sunk to, in order to come to such a ludicrous decision as this.

The worst part is that we seem to now have such inadequate, inexperienced people educating children, particularly when these children are mentally challenged but honestly, these teachers shouldn’t even be entrusted with a lemonade stand, let alone in charge of a child’s education and well-being.

And labelling a five-year-old autistic boy as anything should make one question the maturity level and lack of empathy this teacher demonstrated and this is totally unacceptable and it’s tragic that seemingly most teachers in the United States have absolutely no clue on how to manage a child with autism.

This should be part of their schooling when they go to college to become a teacher because children with autism are being mainstreamed into regular classroom settings, sometimes with the support of an aid and I’m sorry, but a hug or a kiss on the cheek, which is probably how this child is shown affection at home does NOT mean that this little boy is a sexual predator.

The World has gone mad…

And I would be overwhelmed if I was this poor child’s guardian because this little boy is going to face enough prejudices in life with his autism without being stigmatised as a Sex Offender and soon you won’t be able to shake hands with someone without being accused of harassment.

This is a travesty and I feel like I’ve woken up in a parallel universe today because when I was a kid, doctors and nurses were a normal past time for us, what is the world coming to when you can’t even hug your classmates?

When I was a kid I can remember playing kiss chase in the playground, I would cuddle and kiss my classmates on the cheek, sometimes even on the mouth and it’s scary to imagine that I might have been a Sex Offender all of my life and never realised it – lock me up, I must be a monster!

This world is going to purgatory in a hand cart, roll on the next destruction of the human race.

The world’s gone insane all to satisfy the impulses and beliefs of a few half-witted folks, whose every utterance is to make headline news and we need to get rid of all this socialist liberal drivel. A 5-year-old doesn’t even know what sex is, so how can this be intended to be harried by someone?

It was said that this little boy shouldn’t be hugging or kissing children, so who should this five-year-old be hugging then, maybe some disgusting paedo in the park? This must be some kind of sick hoax.

And the fact that he’s just five years old and only hugged and kissed on the cheek only shows that he’s just behaving like an innocent loving little boy, would they rather that he behaved like a thug, or would they prefer that he slapped and bit his classmates? 

Sex Offender, what baloney, this little boy’s innocent in the ways of sex. This was just a sign of affection, it’s not like he grabbed his teacher, bent her over and gave her one up the keister but we’re happy to let adults off with murder, molestation and violence but then we’re thrilled at the thought of putting a 5-year-old on the sex register.

 

     

Boris Johnson Says It Would Be A Moral Hazard

boris-johnson-1181774.jpg

Boris Johnson lashed out at Thomas Cook bosses as the troubled holiday firm fell into administration and even though the Prime Minister promised to rescue holidaymakers who were confronted with being stranded across the globe in what’s thought to be the biggest ever peacetime repatriation of British citizens.

But one way or another the state was going to have to step in and quite rightly so but even so, it was a pretty stressful situation and in a stern message to the firm’s management, Boris Johnson stated that one was forced to ponder on whether the directors of these companies were properly incentivised to sort such matters out and visibly discouraged with the unfolding situation, and Boris Johnson indicated that there would be no government bailout for the world’s oldest holiday firm.

And he verified that the firm had asked a £150 million government bailout to keep it from sinking into bankruptcy and clearly that’s a lot of taxpayers money and sets up a moral hazard in the case of such future commercial problems that companies encounter and he said that we need to look at ways in which tour operatives can protect themselves from such insolvencies in the future.

And clearly, the methods that we have in position to guarantee that businesses like Thomas Cook don’t end up coming to the taxpayer for assistance.

People were warned that a vote for Brexit would see firms collapse and people would lose their jobs and this is just the latest example, caused by the drowning pound. Of course, Tories and Leavers refuse to see the connection.

front-thomas-cook.jpg

Of course the pound sinking was happening way before the referendum and Thomas Cook was in crisis way before that but of course, Brexit isn’t helping the situation and what a strange idiom Boris used “moral hazard,” and it must be a moral hazard that keeps Boris Johnson in office.

Of course, Thomas Cook employees will walk away with diddly squat and won’t it cost more to bring everyone home than it would have to bail the firm out? But then if they were bailed out, who in their right mind would book a holiday with them after what’s happened?

And if our government did bail them out, should we then bail out every large company that’s in threat of going under? But we should feel for those whose holidays have been overshadowed or lost by what’s now happened but it’s only a holiday, what about those 22,000 plus whose livelihoods are now lost? This is the real tragedy when companies go under big or small it’s the workforce that bears the brunt of it.

And come hell or high water, the aviation authority will get all these people on holiday home, not Boris Johnson and for customers who booked their holiday with Thomas Cook or one of its Group companies, Thomas Cooks Plc has stopped trading and ABTA’s immediate plan is to assist customers to understand what actions they need to take if they’re currently away on holiday or if they have booked travel arrangements with the company.

Thomas Cook Group Plc operated several businesses that sold holidays and other travel arrangements, including five companies that are ABTA Members:

  • Thomas Cook Retail Limited – ABTA W8361, J8601 & ATOL 0020
  • Thomas Cook Tour Operations Limited – ABTA V6896 & ATOL 1179
  • TCCT Retail Limited – ABTA Y6564, L8164 & ATOL 10585
  • Future Travel Limited – ABTA W6370, G856X & ATOL 5704
  • Freedom Travel Group Limited – ABTA W6417, G8381 & ATOL 6042

abta-twc-logo-400x400.jpg

The Group further included an airline business which isn’t a member of ABTA but the vast preponderance of holidaymaker’s arrangements are covered through various kinds of financial protection and the majority of flight packages are covered by ATOL plus a smaller volume are packaged without flights and accommodation which is covered by ABTA.

Flights booked directly with Thomas Cook airlines are not covered by ATOL or ABTA so customers would have to contact their card issuer.

There are a number of different companies involved, with varying types of arrangements and what customers should do will depend on whether they’re currently away or have a forward booking, who they booked with, and what they booked.

Customers who are currently overseas on a flight package holiday will be financially protected under the ATOL scheme and should contact the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) who will advise on return flight arrangements and customers who are currently overseas on a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight are protected by ABTA and should continue their holiday as normal.

Customers who are currently overseas and staying in accommodation booked through Thomas Cook Tour Operations are financially protected by ABTA and should continue their holiday as normal but customers who are currently overseas and have booked a flight directly with the Thomas Cook Airline, or who have booked accommodation via Thomas Cook Retail with a third party, for example, Expedia are not financially protected.

Civil_Aviation_Authority_logo.svg.png

For flights, they should contact the CAA in the first instance and for accommodation, they should contact the company specified on the travel documents and if you’ve booked a package holiday through a Thomas Cook Group retail company, but that holiday is provided by another travel company, then people should contact the travel company to check that the arrangements will proceed as normal.

Customers who have booked a Thomas Cook package holiday or accommodation through a Thomas Cook Group retail company (Thomas Cook, TCCT Retail Limited, Future Travel Limited or Freedom Travel Group Limited) these holidays will not go ahead, and you’ll be entitled to a refund.

If you’ve booked a Thomas Cook package holiday through another travel company, you should contact that company to discuss alternatives which may include re-booking or making alternative arrangements but if you’ve booked flights from Thomas Cook Airlines Limited, these are not covered by ATOL or ABTA protection, so people will need to pursue a claim through their card issuer.

Of course, if it was a bank and Boris Johnson and his pampered mates stood to lose money, he would have skipped right in and bailed them out but the problem with helping out Thomas Cook is that it’s not the responsibility of government, the problem lies heavily with the top management of Thomas Cook.

Companies like this don’t suddenly go bust, their management would have known about this for months, yet took a blatant couldn’t care less approach towards it and of course, we understand the argument about the moral hazards of bailing private companies out with taxpayers money, but, this is just another example of Boris Johnson’s questionable perception of morals.

Especially when there were tensions and uncertainties of the developing Brexit debacle for companies like Thomas Cook. With added costs throughout their sector and problems in planning without knowing what the deal was going to be or when.

RBS_Logo-e1552305476767-800x0-c-default.jpg

But then if parliament can stump up the funds for the Royals, banks like RBS and the buildings of parliament to be renovated at hundreds of millions of pounds then why not save the jobs of thousands of people and one of the best holiday and flight firms in the world?
