Police Report Katie Hopkins

katie-hopkins

Questionable Television celebrity Katie Hopkins has been reported to Twitter by police officers over a bad taste vote on the Camber Sands victims. Five young men in their advanced teens and early 20s were hauled from the water off the East Sussex coastline, having travelled from London to spend the day at the beach.

However, Hopkins sparkled insult when she tweeted a poll with the thread, “5 dead at Camber Sands were…”, accompanied by a number of bad joke responses. Sussex Police responded to criticisms on the social networking site verifying they had reported her, continuing that it really was not suitable to joke about five deaths the day after the event.

It was especially callous, though not illegal.

The five, thought to be Sri Lankan in origin, died on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Sussex Police announced that Hopkins’ tweet was listed under the classes of offensive, hurtful, rude and nasty.

At around 10.30am on Thursday, Sussex Police was made aware of a tweet, which the authorities deemed to be callous. This has been related to Twitter. The main interest is to the sentiments and emotions of the next of kin of those who sadly perished at Camber.

The poll has presently been removed.

We are all familiar with Katie Hopkins, and what a terrible trap she has, and she should restrain herself from society if she clearly cannot keep her awful opinions to herself. Maybe she should take a vacation following her brain operation since obviously whatever surgery she had has not quelled her muzzle.

Katie Hopkins has the largest aperture I know, though I’m sure there are people out there with larger orifices, although I’ve still not discovered them yet, therefore, because of this, it’s my opportunity to butcher Katie, so she can see how it feels to be a butt.

Usually, when somebody takes the piss out of another person, there is usually a reason behind it, but these people that perished, she had no attachment to them, she had never met them before, they were total strangers, and they didn’t warrant that sort of bitterness.

She is a resentful woman and an extremely rude person that I have come across in a long time. She is not friendly at all, and her affection for people is zilch. She does not appear to have any regard for anyone, which I see as rather offensive, and she despises everyone around her.

Rent-a-gob Katie Hopkins has made a profession out of being contentious for the sake of it. She stated that Hannah was the ideal name for a dyslexic child. Unsurprisingly, the bulk of the nation was unimpressed by dirty knickers Katie and her pitiful effort to create discord by linking children’s names to disabilities.

However, this isn’t the first time the former Apprentice star has been so callous. Katie went face to face bickering over the policies of attachment parenting. Hopkins made a swipe, as a discussion got heated, over images that were published months beforehand, showing grappling mum Peaches Geldof attempting to pick up her son from the sidewalk after her pram fell over.

It was a cheap punch from Hopkins since most parents have had their child fall out of bed, or fall from a pram, it doesn’t matter whether you are a single parent or a married parent, these things occur.

Motormouth Katie insulted a room full of students when she told them she didn’t actually approve of obese people, and that she wouldn’t like to face a ginger in the dark, and rained disdain on the state school system.

She propelled into a conversation in which she damned what she stated was the special treatment of university applicants from the state school system.

She stated that suicidal inmates should simply kill themselves. Yes, she actually did state that.

Katie further stated that she would never hire somebody who is overweight.

She stated, that she actually believed that if you have a tattoo you have to question about what sort of prospect you have ahead of you. Katie stated, that as an entrepreneur she certainly wouldn’t hire somebody with tattoos and that she would worry what her shoppers would think of them. Plus socially we still see tattoos as graffiti, or perhaps she was talking about her revolting orifice, that’s full of textual graffiti.

She further asserted that Mammary militia breastfeeding en masse in Costa puts one off their latte.

She stated that being despised is a cross she bears. Like the Jesus of the outspoken.

Katie, 38, who was on The Apprentice in 2006, wrote in a magazine that Lily Allen was kind of exciting until she had kids. She added she was eliminating herself from the notoriety since she aspired to be a parent.

She stated, it mainly meant gaining two stone and looking rather ugly.

Lily, 28, who suffered two miscarriages before giving birth to twin daughters Ethel and Marnie, 13 months, hit back, and replied, that yes, following tragically losing a baby so advanced in her pregnancy, she may have increased a few pounds.

Furthermore, that she was one of several that obtain relief in food. The Smile vocalist continued that she wasn’t exercising since she didn’t want to take any chances and that the survival of her children seemed more relevant than being skinny.

Katie announced to Heat magazine, Gemma Collins was at the plus size fashion awards to get her contributions to overweight people award, which Katie believed meant mostly being fat. She said, well done to Gemma for being overweight, but following catching wind of the evil remarks, the Towie actress lashed out.

Gemma called Hopkins a total mug, stating that she was so kind to Katie when they met one another.

Discussing the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, she stated that she has a fat arse and that she actually didn’t understand what the fascination was with Kim. She further stated, she actually didn’t believe that being seen as somebody with a big behind was that great, and that she would rather be remembered as the biggest bitch in Britain.

Katie stated, that her foresight for Bieber was that he’ll be up next on a wrecking ball licking an adjustable spanner, and believed that may be in the offing for Belieber. Or go the Lohan highway and simply waste the remainder of his days in and out of rehab.

Or he could go the full Winehouse, and that will be the death of Bieber.

She further took objection to his faithful follower support, hitting the Beliebers and maintained they seemingly don’t have many friends and struggle with their own individual problems. She ranted, Beliebers are weird. They do adore him, and that they may admire him endlessly.

She stated, she assumed they’re kind of pathetic, single teenagers named Rebecca, that hasn’t got many mates, presumably got problems with their weight, height, hair colour, skin, and I don’t know what, and sort of grip onto him and say that they ‘belieb’.

She further stated that the X Factor 2013 had finished in a disturbing confrontation amidst a fat mum in a jumpsuit and a small boy in whatever his mum set out for him on his bed. She continued, they also attempted performing cute clips of Sam’s children. They were convinced that would make the woman break, but it turned out she had the sensitivity of a prison officer.

Writing in her post for Best, Katie further annihilated Elton John for looking puffy around the gills and took a swipe at 61-year-old Sharon Osbourne’s plastic surgery, and said, if she is going to look this good next year she will need to bulk buy plastic.

Katie-Hopkins

This is how vitriol spilling Katie Hopkins portrays television chef Nigella Lawson. Reporting in her Sun editorial mother-of-two Katie, who stated her hubby thought Nigella was a tad savoury, and said, Nigella made each mum in the country seem less than ideal. There is a rare delight in discovering that behind the full breast and alluring glimpses to the camera, things are not as flawless as they appear.

Under that pallid appearance, equine fangs and motormouth is an instrument of sheer wickedness. She simply isn’t a human being, as she has no heart, she does not have one individual emotion, and the truth of it is, she, in fact, is just a shameful evil woman who has no compassion for anyone else.

She relishes tearing the essence out of others, and gets vast entertainment out of it, and obviously her saneness isn’t intact, you could barely describe her as the brains of Britain.

Katie Hopkins may have been a newspaper reporter before she joined the competitors on the UK series of the reality T.V show The Apprentice in 2007, but maybe the publicity of it all has gone to her head, and presently all she can do is talk out of her arse.

She has repeatedly made personal and derogatory remarks on camera. She after performed in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! on ITV and Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5. She has penned articles for British newspapers The Sun and the Daily Mail and stood as a competitor in the 2009 European Parliamentary election, God forbid had she actually got in.

Hopkins has been scrutinised in the media and by advocacy organisations and MP’s for her remarks about migrants and accused of classism and racism, but according to Hopkins, she is driving back the barricades closing in on freedom of speech.

It is one action to support freedom of speech, but to be the caca mouth of it all is very offensive to everyone around her. Discharging your own faeces is fair enough, however, not when your smearing it all over everybody else.

You’re supposed to take the garbage out, not launch it over everyone else, and she should learn to throw whatever nonsense comes out of her orifice into the trash, maybe whilst she’s there, maybe she might discover some basic understanding, with some understanding of other people’s emotions.

Burkini Ban

burkini-sea

Penalties have been inflicted on women wearing burkinis in the southern French town of Cannes.

Muslim-Women-Wearing-Controversial-Niqab-UK-VksoU30f3sgl

A prohibition on the swimwear, popular with some Muslim women as they completely conceal the body, was controversially launched earlier in August.

The three females, aged from 29 to 57, were with their kids at the beach when police officers interceded over the offending garments.

Four of the females were fined €38, £33 whilst all were presented with warnings and instructed to vacate the area.

They are young mothers or grandmothers, and they do not think they are criminals. All were really disconcerted at the way they were treated.

Mayor David Lisnard created discord amongst Muslim groups by making Cannes the principal resort town to force an embargo on the full-body swimsuits. He took this decision amongst many other decisions to make sure his town was protected in the context of the state of emergency.

Mr Lisnard’s decision was questioned although later supported in court. A judge announced the rule was enforceable under French legislation which forbids people invoking their sacred positions to skirt common laws governing relationships within public authorities and private individuals.

The judge put the embargo in the context of the state of emergency and current Islamist assaults, notably in Nice a month ago.

Mohamed-Lahouaiej-Bouhlel-main

Cannes is less than 20 miles from Nice, where Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel ploughed a lorry into a crowd which had assembled to see Bastille Day fireworks, killing 85 people.

Another resort town near Nice, Villeneuve-Loubet, also outlawed burkinis on beaches. A recently proposed by-law ordered only clothes that are respectful to morality and secular beliefs, and in compliance with health and safety laws is supported.

Mayor Lionnel Luca announced the ban of the garments was for hygienic purposes. Plus he was informed that there was a couple on one of the beaches where the lady was bathing completely dressed, and it deemed unacceptable for sanitary purposes and undesirable given the overall situation.

In France, one does not come to the beach clothed to represent one’s religious beliefs, particularly as they are erroneous beliefs that the doctrine does not require.

France has forced a controversial prohibition on full-face veils since 2004.

This covering of the face has a suggestion of sexism and many think that this is the summit of cultural and governmental development. One of the outcomes of this thinking is the trend to establish an ideal, in so far as different nations differ from that, sets them as problematical.

For instance, many think that females in the United States are extremely liberated. In so far as women in different cultures live differently, they are considered to be oppressed. Of course, women are oppressed elsewhere, although it is a misconception to think that they are oppressed and we are liberated.

This so-called binary forms an obscure way in which women elsewhere are not 100% inferior and those other women similarly experience from gendered persecution.

I’m not sure which is worse, the inflexible and unreasonable example of appeal in the United States and the idea that women’s bodies are revealed to inspection or the thought of living under a burka that bans particular freedoms, but saves you from evaluative eyes and the outcomes of their contradictory evaluations.

 

Frog Sashimi Is A Japanese Dish

maxresdefault

Consuming live creatures is the tradition of individuals feeding on creatures that are still viable, preferably than animals which have been discovered lifeless or slaughtered to be consumed. Consuming live creatures is a common tradition in several Asian food customs, although animals are further digested alive for shock value.

Both vertebral or shellfish may be consumed.

Consuming live animals, or pieces of live creatures, may be illegal in some provinces under animal torture statutes. Puritanical bans on the consumption of live animals by individuals are further present in many world faiths.

The Frog sashimi is a Japanese speciality consisting of feeding on a live frog, separating the members of the body that they can’t feed on and the principal idea is to consume the heart of the frog while it’s still beating.

These people would eat their first born. Sickening, heartless and sadistic animal cruelty, what is wrong with these people?

This is sickening, while this dying animal fights and flaps about helplessly. This is gross and inhuman and perhaps this shallow callous smiling woman consuming this unfortunate and traumatised animal should suffocate to death. This is terrible. What is wrong with people? This practice must end.

This is shockingly violent torture, an utterly groundless torment of a breathing animal. Such inhumane and cruel practice is disgraceful. There is a particular level of purgatory maintained for the perpetrators of this despicable ridiculous custom.

It’s a seedy world we live in. Another reason why we should withdraw from going to any country where people exist and who are inhumane, uncaring and really quite sick.

MAN GETS BEATEN UP

Tom-Jan-Huesch-Beaten-Up

After Tom-Jan Hüsch’s sweetheart split up with him, he chose to take vengeance to an absurd level by violently beating and hitting the hound his lover purchased him as a gift. Worst of all he chose to record it all and upload to Facebook.

facebook

This video was since withdrawn from Facebook, yet, the video immediately went viral, drawing the attention of one person who chose to bring this small canine justice by hunting down Hüsch and causing the corresponding injury to him that Hüsch forced on the hapless, helpless creature.

The chap further recorded a video of himself beating up Hüsch, which he next posted online as a lesson to everybody that pet torture and degradation would not be allowed in Germany. Hüsch’s assailant was next named as Josef Guldschmitt. Guldschmitt described his attack in a discussion by telephone this evening.

Guldschmitt stated that he actually wanted him to die and that if he could have located his pliers, he would have twisted his scrotum off.

As of now, no charges have been filed upon Guldschmitt.

People like Tom-Jan Hüsch need to be held responsible for what they do to another life, and it is immaterial if that life is human life or an animal. It does not matter if you have a grievance with your girlfriend, the creature has done nothing wrong and should not have to endure degenerates like Hüsch.

You can’t beat a pet because you have the hump with your ex-partner, and then believe it’s acceptable, that simply makes a person cowardly and contemptible, and it’s despicable that a human being could even behave that way towards a pet.

This is shocking, and people that behave towards their pets in this manner should be put in jail, it should be a serious felonious crime. It would happen if it was a human being, and it should be the equivalent for pets.

Ten Unusual Powers

6a00d83451584369e201bb086f19be970d-400wi

The Queen can’t get prosecuted. If the Queen perpetrated a grave wrong, could she get arrested and if so, how would the hierarchy change? All court cases in Crown court are “The Queen versus”. The Queen cannot be charged with an offence as she cannot prosecute herself. So in speculation, she could do what she wants. If she murdered somebody, she would not be arrested for it.

As the Crown Proceedings Act only affected the law in regards to actions supported on by or on behalf of the UK government, the sovereign continues individually free from illegal and public actions. She cannot be arrested because of her status as head of state, to charge her, Parliament has to decide to remove her first and eliminate her rights and such, making her not the sovereign anymore. Not very believable.

Can the government constitutionally remove the Queen? Doubtful, even if they did, under the human rights act she can’t be tried for a wrong that was legal when she performed it.
However, the Queen’s protection can be excluded by an act of parliament if they thought it was required. Remember that after Oliver Cromwell, the government is the principal authority. We prefer to let the Royal Family be the puppet heads of state.
Queen Elizabeth II is not like you and me. Did you know she is free from prosecution? That she has her own private poet, paid in Sherry wine? Or that she holds power over British swans and can discharge the whole Australian government? It’s correct that her position as the British head of state is mostly stately, and the sovereign no longer holds any solemn strength from day to day.

As a person, she cannot be contested in any civil or criminal action and actions of parliament don’t touch her except if they explicitly say that they do.

Under the Crown Proceedings Act (1947), civil proceedings can be taken on the Crown in its public role, this normally indicates actions on government departments and agencies, as the selected Government governs in The monarch’s name.

So you can sue her sovereignty government but you cannot sue her.

This suggests that the monarch can kill somebody and not be charged. Of course, if she did so there would be an action of parliament that not only discharged her, but removed any prospective ruler of such immunity but, she still would not face prosecution because it was not prohibited when the action was performed.

The famous privilege rule of the monarch has been devolved chiefly to government delegates. Yet, this still means that when the British government advocates conflict or oversees the civil service, or signs an agreement, it is doing so only on her authority.
Technically, all unmarked swans in open water belong to the sovereign, though the monarch exercises her right only on some stretches of the Thames and its nearby rivers.

The “Rule, Britannia, Britannia rules the waves,” goes a traditional British ballad, and this custom continues below the waves, too. The monarch has power over a diversity of water creatures in British waters. The monarch still technically owns all the sturgeons, whales, and dolphins in the waters around the United Kingdom, in a practice that dates back to a law from 1324, through the rule of King Edward II.
According to the section, this law is still correct today, and sturgeons, porpoises, whales, and dolphins are seen as fishes royal when they are caught inside 3 miles, about 5 km of UK coasts or washed ashore, they may be claimed on behalf of the queen. Usually, when taken into the harbour, a sturgeon is marketed in the normal way, and the buyer, as a sign of solidarity, asks the honour of its being received by Elizabeth.
The legislation is still followed.  In 2004, a Welsh fisherman was investigated by the police after catching a 10-foot sturgeon.  The Scottish government further issued guidance on the law in 2007, writing that the right to claim Royal Fish in Scotland enables the Scottish Government, on behalf of the queen to claim stranded whales which are too big to be carried to ground by a ‘wain pulled by six oxen.'”
Driving licenses are distributed in the monarch’s repute, although she is the only person in the United Kingdom who doesn’t legitimately require a license to drive or a number plate on her vehicles. Despite not being needing to have a license, the monarch is happy behind the wheel, having learned to drive through World War II when she operated a first-aid vehicle for the Women’s Auxillary Territorial Service. As a result of the monarch’s training, she can further replace a spark plug.
Monarch Elizabeth II isn’t scared to show off her driving ability, either. In 1998, she dazzled King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, then still a prince by running him about in her homeland seat of Balmoral. Once British Ambassador Sherard Cowper-Coles recounted the encounter. As directed, the crown prince climbed into the front seat of the front Land Rover, with his interpreter in the seat behind.
To his astonishment, the monarch climbed into the driving seat, turned the ignition and started off. Women are not yet permitted to drive in Saudi Arabia, and Abdullah was not used to being driven by a woman, let alone a monarch.
His agitation only intensified as the monarch, an army driver in wartime, hastened the Land Rover on the narrow Scottish farm roads, talking all the time. Through his interpreter, the crown prince urged the monarch to slow down and focus on the road ahead.
When you’re the British head of state, one birthday just isn’t enough. The Queen’s official birthday is observed on a Saturday in June, although her real birthday is on April 21. Formal celebrations to mark a monarch’s birthday have frequently been held on a day different than the real birthday, especially when the real birthday has not been in the summer.
Both birthdays are observed in proper style, too. Her actual birthday is marked openly by rifle tributes in central London at midday. This involves a 41-gun tribute in Hyde Park, a 21-gun fanfare in Windsor Great Park, and a 62-gun salutation at the Tower of London. In 2006, Her Majesty observed her 80th Birthday with a walkabout in the streets outside of Windsor Castle to face well-wishers.
Less a power and more a perk of the position, a private cash machine for use by the royal family is placed in the basement of Buckingham Palace. It’s provided by Coutts, one of Britain’s most prestigious and elite banks.  The poet laureate is a privileged status in British culture elected by the sovereign to a poet whose work is of public importance. When first the role was introduced, the nominee was given £200 per year plus a butt of canary wine. Now the poet laureate is awarded a vessel of Sherry.
The monarch’s approval is required to change any proposal into a tangible bill. Once a recommended bill has passed both houses of Parliament, it makes its way to the mansion for permission, which is called Royal Assent. The most current British sovereign to deny to give Royal Assent was Queen Anne, back in 1708.
Royal Assent is different than Queen’s consent, in which the monarch must agree to any bill being discussed in Parliament that concerns the sovereignty’s interests, such as changing the prerogative or tax laws that might influence the Duchy of Cornwall, for instance. Without approval, the law cannot be discussed in Parliament.
Queen’s permission is used only on the recommendation of ministers, yet its existence provides the government with a weapon for preventing discussion on some matters if laws are delayed by backbench dissidents or the opposition. It has been used at least 39 times, according to documents published under the Freedom of Information act, covering one instance in which the monarch effectively denied the Military Actions Against Iraq Bill in 1999, a private member’s proposal that attempted to give the power to allow armed confrontation upon Iraq from the sovereign to parliament.
The monarch has the ability to select Lords, who can then assemble in Parliament, the upper house in Britain’s parliamentary system. Like several other powers, this is used solely on the word of selected government representatives. The monarch does not have to pay tax, but she has been willingly paying income tax and capital gains tax since 1992.
The monarch previously exercised the power to dismiss Parliament and request a general election, although the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act put an end to that in 2011. Presently a two-thirds majority in the commons is needed to end Parliament before a five-year fixed-term is up.

She does still perform a part following an election, but, when she calls on the MP extremely competent to create a government to do so. This created some concern ahead of this year’s General Election. It previously seemed as if the Conservatives might not have a majority but would be the biggest party and would attempt to create a government.

Meanwhile, it was possible that Labour could reach a majority, despite having fewer seats, by entering into an alliance with many other parties. In this position, the monarch would have been stuck between a rock and a hard place. Each year, she starts Parliament with the Queen’s speech, which sets out the government’s proposals.

But to give David Cameron’s address would arguably be to tacitly authorise his government whilst staying away would convey the opposing message. At one point, sources said that she proposed to stay away if Cameron declined to obtain sufficient MPs, but the Palace later had an about-face.

Imperial reference verified she would start proceedings, even if there was a chance the speech would be defeated the next week since the Tories had declined to gather enough support from meagre parties.

Sure, they no longer travel around on horseback wooing maidens with their stories of heroism, but Britain still retains knights. Like Lords, they are selected by the monarch and she knights them individually. Knighthoods are typically given to persons who have made a distinct participation to British society, either in industry, the humanities, the army, or elsewhere. After Terry Pratchett was knighted, the legendary fantasy novelist fashioned himself a distinctive sword using remnants of a meteorite.

The persons knighted are selected by ministers, who give her a roster of candidates each year for her endorsement.

All knowledge about the royal family is immune from Freedom of Information demands. The exclusion was made after a judicial action amid The Guardian and the government to have letters from Prince Charles sent to Whitehall ministers made public. The so-called black spider memorandum was recently released, however, the change suggests the equivalent can’t occur in the future.

Whilst the overpowering preponderance of the monarch’s privileged control are devolved to her consuls, there is one exception that permits her to handle control herself. Only in a serious legal dilemma, the monarch can represent adverse to or without Ministerial direction. With no example in recent times, it’s not clear what would really form this, but the opportunity prevails.

As the head of state in Australia, the monarch has some powers over the government. In 1975, for instance, the monarch’s representative in the realm at the time, Gov. Gen. Sir John Kerr, dismissed the prime minister in answer to a government shutdown.

Kerr selected a replacement, who quickly passed the spending bill to finance the government. Three hours later, Kerr removed the remainder of Parliament. Then Australia held elections to restart from scratch. Furthermore, they haven’t had another shutdown since.

In addition to the United Kingdom and Australia, the monarch is further the head of state in Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.

All the above are Commonwealth Realms or previous British colonies. The British monarch maintains the seat she holds in the United Kingdom, that of the head of state. As in Britain, this is mostly a formal position from day to day.

C_OF_logo_v2

Queen Elizabeth II is the leader of the Church of England, Britain’s state denomination first set after King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church in Rome in the 16th century. Her confirmed title is the defender of the faith and chief administrator of the Church of England, and she further has the ability to select Bishops and Archbishops. As with many of her other powers, however, this is exercised only on the advice of the prime minister, who himself takes advice from a Church Commission.

An interesting side effect of this is that the monarch must be a verified member of the Church of England. Catholics and those of other faiths may not rise to the British sovereignty. If Prince Charles changed to Islam, for instance, he would be unqualified to become ruler after Queen Elizabeth II dies.

_47575851_009047945-2

Maundy money is a specific variety of silver coin the Queen gives away to pensioners each year at a UK cathedral each Easter in a special ceremony. A number of beneficiaries compare with the monarch’s age. This year, for instance, she will be 89 when Easter rolls around, so she will give maundy money away to 89 beneficiaries.

The money is technically lawful tender, despite coming in unusual 3-pence and 4-pence denominations. Yet given the coins unique standing, they tend not to invade overall distribution.

All prosecutions are carried out in the name of the monarch, and she is both free from prosecution and cannot be forced to give testimony in court. In theory, the monarch is incapable of thinking or doing wrong. While civil and criminal actions cannot be taken upon the monarch as a person under UK law, the monarch is prudent to guarantee that all her actions in her personal position are carried out in stringent accordance with the law.

If the sovereign did perform a grievance crime, he or she would almost surely be compelled to resign. There is at least one example of the Courts prosecuting the monarch. In the 17th Century, King Charles I was tried for treason following the English Civil War. He stated that no earthly power can justly call me, who am your King, in question as a delinquent. The Court objected and had him killed.

Assuming no serious legal dilemma, the monarch’s input into the parliamentary rule is supposed to be restricted in real terms to the power to be advised, to support, and to advise her ministers, the advice presented through assemblage with the prime minister.

Hungerford has to give a red rose to the monarch in trade for its fishing and grazing rights. The Duke of Atholl must pay by way of a rose when the monarch visits. This most recently occurred through the rule of Queen Victoria, so it’s unclear whether the rose has to be any special colour. If the monarch passes near Kidwelly Castle in Wales, the resident has to present a bodyguard in complete armour. This is hindered somewhat by the fact the castle is a ruin.

The Marquis of Ailesbury owns Savernake Forest and is expected to deliver a blast of a hunting horn should the monarch pass through the Forest. This last occurred in 1943. Furthermore, the proprietor of Dunlambert Castle in Northern Ireland has to deliver a blast on an antiquated bugle.

The proprietor of Sauchlemuir Castle must set out three glassfuls of port on New Year’s Eve for the grandmother of James IV of Scotland. The proprietor of Fowlis must deliver when expected, a snowball in mid-summer. The City of Gloucester pays for its holdings of Crown Lands by giving a huge eel pie. Great Yarmouth must provide a hundred herrings baked in 24 pasties to the Sheriff, who then sends them to the Lord of the Manor, who then sends them to the Sovereign.

Great Yarmouth must give a hundred herrings baked in 24 pasties to the Sheriff, who then gives them to the Lord of the Manor who then assigns them to the monarch. The Duke of Marlborough has to offer a small satin flag with a Fleur de Lys on August 13, the anniversary of the Battle of Blenheim.

The Duke of Wellington has to offer a French Tricolour flag before midday on June 19, the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

The Crown Estate belongs to the ruling sovereign ‘in right of The Crown’, that is, it is maintained by the sovereign for the continuation of their rule, by way of their accession to the throne. However it is not the private property of the sovereign, it cannot be sold by the ruler, neither does revenue from it belong to the sovereign.

The Government further does not control The Crown Estate. It is run by a self-governing organisation, set by law, directed by a committee, also known as The Crown Estate Commissioners, and the excess income from the property is given each year to the Treasury for the interest of all UK taxpayers.

 

It takes lots of dedication to be the Queen I’m sure, her family must be so proud of her, and all her colleagues that she is enveloped by, embracing all that notoriety she has from the British public. With all of her quirky trappings that she dresses in for state events, I question if she is as interesting as her costumes look?

A glimpse of the Queen in all of her paraphernalia, which is quite dazzling, she could practically ignite a Belisha beacon, however, there is no avoiding her Royal obligations, the Queen is the symbol of Britain, and she draws in loads of dough through tourism. The Queen is the method where we make money, and she is the image of this nation, without her, where would we be?

Wow, this nation would be in chaos without her appearance, and over the years there has been a small detachment between the universality of the palace and the people following the passing of Diana, and as the monarch arrives at a new milestone of becoming the UK’s longest ruling monarch, the issue of her value to Britain’s economy has once again been raised.

According to a new investigation by Brand Finance, the value of the sovereignty has been put at an estimated £56.7 billion. This figure covers the cost of physical assets such as the Crown Estate, the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster and the Crown Jewels. When these physical assets are removed, the entire value of the sovereignty to the UK’s economy is an evaluated £1.155 billion for 2015, according to their investigation. 

This number has been estimated by clearing off expenses such as the Sovereign Grant, the millions paid on security and the preservation of the palaces against sources of revenue such as the excess produced by the Crown Estate, the improvement in tourism and the value award from labels bearing Royal Warrants. Yet, Brand Finance attributes £152 million in assets to the Kate Effect, which is characterised as an improvement to fashion and additional labels worn, used or otherwise approved.

princess-charlotte-portrait-large_trans++ZgEkZX3M936N5BQK4Va8RTgjU7QtstFrD21mzXAYo54

Furthermore, £101 million is associated to the Charlotte Effect and £76 million to the George Effect, whilst a sum of £114 million has been estimated as the calculated amount of PR. Brand Finance has not yet replied to how these numbers were calculated from cumulative purchases.

Followers of the sovereignty and its worth to the United Kingdom usually use the example of tourism as an area where the Royals bring in business. Brand Finance’s calculations reveal that tourism resources connected to the sovereignty and its legacy has been estimated at £535 million for 2015.

However, the UK’s tourism group VisitBritain said that whilst global tourism is Britain’s third biggest service exportation, with inbound tourism to Britain worth £26.2 billion, only some of that figure can be connected to attractions and events with a link to British sovereign and legacy. These are sites such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were married, though no exact figure can be gauged of the contribution of the royals on tourism revenues.

While having a noble family gets us an immense volume of global coverage and available publicity for Britain across the realm, which is priceless, it’s not something we can give an accurate financial value for, and Campaign group Republic, which asks for the overthrow of the sovereignty, maintains that its personal analysis reveals the sovereignty costs the United Kingdom £334 million a year, with various working royal costing the taxpayer £18.5 million a piece.

Republic repudiates the inclusion of excess from the Crown Estate as a reservoir of funds as it is a property investment vehicle managed, not owned, by the monarch through her rule as sovereign on the interest of the kingdom.

It alternatively maintains that costs from a quantity of sources incorporating the Sovereign Grant, costs to regional councils, costs from security and losses incurred by the private holdings of the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall amount to £333.9 million.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, further acknowledged as the Queen, is set to pass her great-great-grandmother as the longest reigning sovereign in British history.

queen-victoria

She has replaced Queen Victoria as a holder of the title Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith for the prolonged period, including any king, following her crowning as a 25-year-old 63 years ago.

Much is understood about her desire of corgis, the pleasure of Balmoral Castle, deemed condemnation of Diana and individual thriftiness if a person whose family and palaces cost the taxpayer £35.7 million last year can be legitimately described as frugal. But what is less well-known?

She is, as is begrudgingly recognised even by sturdy republicans, an obviously duty-oriented woman who has attempted to keep herself educated on technology and development. Her quirkier interests, sovereign virtues and activities depict a vivid life lived.

The monarch, it turns out, was really excited about efforts to hunt down the Loch Ness monster.

Letters in 1962 within the palace and naturalist Sir Peter Scott, son of Antarctic adventurer Captain Scott, stated she would like to stay informed of any progress in finding a potentially new species. They stopped quickly, however, of agreeing the beast should be named after her.

Her assistant private secretary stated it would be extremely regrettable to connect Her Highness in any way with anything which eventually become a deception. The Queen is apparently a big supporter of fact-checking Downton Abbey, according to Royal writer Brian Hoey in his book At Home with the Queen.

In one episode, he stated, she noticed that the decorations on a British officer through the First World War were really from the Second World War, a factual mistake that show’s that the history adviser must have been a little flustered about. A couple in Manchester who summoned the monarch to a wedding in 2012 were shocked when she actually arrived.

The sovereign and her hubby were having luncheon next door in Manchester Town Hall when they appeared to wish John and Frances Manning, who had sent the couple an invite on the off-chance, all the best for the future. The monarch can talk eloquent French and does not require a translator. In that regard, she had more in common with the ex-deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who can speak five languages, than with former premier David Cameron, who can speak some French but apparently not very fluently.

In that respect, she had more in common with the ex-deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who can articulate five languages. Her corgis were all issued small rubber Wellingtons to shield their paws from Buckingham Palace’s shale in 1999. They were purchased from a supplier who had invented them for police canines, and the monarch allegedly questioned whether they could look more like Wellington boots.

When she joined the Army in 1945 as a Second Subaltern, the monarch was a driver and mechanic who took a car-maintenance course before then going on to be a Junior Commander. She is believed to be the only British sovereign in history properly taught to replace a spark plug.

The grand success of longest-reigning sovereign belies a less extravagant sounding location of origin. In 1926 Elizabeth Windsor was born at her parents’ residence, 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, at a location which is presently a Chinese restaurant.

This has to be food for thought because when she was being born into this world, she had no idea of what her actual existence would be like, or what impact she would have on the human race, and I question if she has really ever considered this? She was formerly the sweetheart of the country, and she was respected by many, she is still revered by many, only in another way, many are now followers, almost like disciples, supporters to her cause.
There are various doubters out there with their denunciation of her, willing to play her down. Perhaps she carries too much freight to govern this country anymore. Maybe she needs to reduce the amount of baggage and simply sit pretty because with all of her accessories and fineries, maybe she is costing this country too much money.
The Royal families finery alone is costing this country too much money, and we know that she has an image to uphold but her attire alone puts a hole in our economy, net alone how many kids they produce in the process.
Some people are not happy having a Royal family anymore, although for most, the monarch is the image of our nation, and without her, I think that the Royal family would be sadly missed, well not all of them perhaps!

Disadvantages-of-junk-food-for-your-body-Burger

We’ve got into the practice of buying fast junk foods which have no real food in them, we purchase tonnes of household toxic detergents when one degradable detergent will do.  We are destroying our houses and spending our hard earned cash for no good reason, why? Because the advertisement entrepreneurs tell us to.

They just want you to purchase stuff, for instance, if a corporation poisons the atmosphere or practices damaging business practices, if you don’t purchase their stuff, they will change.  If you don’t want food with chemicals or GMO’s in it, then don’t purchase it. The moment we begin taking responsibility and using our funds carefully, each politician, each company and leader around the globe will know that we have woken up.

This is the 21st century if we use our resources carefully, there’s no reason why anybody shouldn’t have what they need. There’s no reason whatsoever why people still perish to death on our planet. Plus the average man or woman whether they are Israeli or Palestinian, Protestant or Catholic, or Iraqi or American, the simple man just wants to exist in harmony, in fairness and a sanitary environment.

When we look around the globe, when we see that is not the case, we know the will of the majority is not being listened to, that’s the first sign that our system, is broken. The government won’t make these adjustments for us, yet again it’s down to the common man.

No company will continue a practice or a commodity that you the customer will not purchase. It’s vitally important that you know this because this gives you the ultimate control to shape the environment you exist in. Companies are very sensitive about you purchasing their commodities because if you don’t purchase their stuff, they go out of business.

 

 

Establishment Manager Defends Autistic Waiter

JS84223741

A restaurant proprietor has come to the defence of one of his waiters after some clientele stated they did not want to be attended by him as he was autistic. Mike Jennings, who works Grenache in Walkden, Manchester, took to Facebook after being appalled at the way a table of patrons criticised his crew member.

Chef_slams_eaters__2724792n

They requested not to be served by an autistic crew member and asked Mr Jennings, why he would hire him in such an establishment. The waiter, Andy, 45, who has autism, joined the establishment three weeks ago. He shuffles his career with his position as a designated carer for his mum, who suffers from Alzheimer’s.

They used the day restoring the confidence of one of their team, after being disrespected and socially victimised by a table that was dining with them. Mike Jennings describes his recruiting, and that they hire workers based on their skill, experience and enthusiasm for the work. Not the tone of their skin, or the way they look, how many tattoos they have, their dress size, religious views or disabilities. They do not segregate.

Ultimately, he conveys a distinct message: “If you DO [discriminate]… Then please do not book a table at Grenache. You do not deserve our time, effort or RESPECT!”

This should be a prompt reminder that people with disabilities are no different from everyone else, and they should be treated with the reverence that they deserve. They are not a victim that people appear to believe they can ridicule, and just because a person has a disability does not mean that they have no social manners.

It does not indicate that they are illiterate, in fact, most people with disabilities are quite smart. However, other people cringe at the unknown and need to be extra grown-up about people with disabilities, and I am certain they would think differently if it was their child that had a disability and went to work and got mocked.

These people that ridicule the afflicted are bullies, and I find this all very distasteful, and I wince at the thought that somebody could make this person feel victimised because he is Autistic. My own son is Autistic, and he has been browbeaten by people all his life, and it makes me sad that this sort of thing still goes on, even in today’s society when prejudice is supposed to be against the law.

There should be much more stringent regulations opposing prejudice, particularly where a person has a disability through no wrongdoing of their own. After all, they don’t ask to be born this way, but that is life, and that is the way life goes, but that does not imply they should be victimised for it.

To abuse another person for being different from somebody else is completely shameful, that people think they can band together to obtain brownie points, and when these people do these terrible things, they must understand that it completely annihilates the spirit of the person they are doing it too, particularly if they have a disability.

They have plenty to deal with on an everyday basis, net alone having to put up with ignorant people assuming it’s entertaining when they do this and behave in this way towards another human being. These people are just rude and uncouth, and their conduct is far from reproach.

If they think the disabled people are imperfect, then they should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror from time to time. At least disabled people have the capacity to overlook and the courage to disregard the cowardice that some people have in them. These are brilliant people, they are not oddballs of the community, and they can be victorious and challenge anything that is facing them.

If people have a distaste for disabled people, then clearly don’t visit the restaurant that they work in or any workplace they work in, it’s as plain as that. Prejudice is a disturbing thing, and should be abolished altogether, no ifs or buts, and it should be sanctioned by a law, not just for some, but for everybody.

We should be able to feel comfortable in our society, and not have to be cautious of what we say or do, how we look, how we dress, what colour hair we have, how many tattoos we have, whether we are disabled, a different tone of skin, it should not matter because beneath our skin we are still all the same.

Offensive Voicemail From Job Centre Staff

Mother-of-three, Cecilia Garcia, was left this hateful voicemail from two staff, one by the name of Ann Goode, at Bromley’s Job Centre office. Goode failed to hang up correctly following leaving a message and was caught on tape. The Job Centre operator left a startling voicemail for single mother-of-three calling her a scrounging bastard that was popping out kids like an animal.

The single mother-of-three was left enraged after a Job Centre operator left a voicemail on her telephone calling her a ‘scrounging bastard that’s popping out kids like pigs. Cecelia Garcia, 44, from Beckenham, South East London, was left feeling nauseous after she got the offensive message which the staff member left by error.

The harangue of degradation was recorded after the operator decline to hang up and went on to scrutinise claimants with foreign sounding surnames to a co-worker in her office. Mrs Garcia, who has turned to benefits to top up her salary after separating from her partner last year, was left reeling by the recording left last Friday afternoon.

She had checked her messages to discover a voicemail from a woman alleging to be from the Bromley Job Centre, who requested her to call back next week.

VOICEMAIL MESSAGE IN FULL

Received Friday, July 29 at 4.23pm.

‘This is a message for Cecilia Garcia. Hello, Cecilia, this is Ann Goode from the Department for Work and Pensions at Bromley Job Centre. Could you please call me —- urgent call. I’ll be leaving at 5, but if you can ring me Monday I’d be very much obliged, you do need to speak to me. OK, thank you, bye bye.’

‘Her cap, her cap is £253.26 a week, that’s over £1,000 a month.’

(Inaudible)

‘That’s almost £1,000 a month – £12,000 a year.’

‘This is Cecilia Garcia. None of them are English names.’

(Pause)

‘I don’t, I just don’t, why are we running around for these people? Do you know I resent even doing this work because if I had a person that said I really want a job, I want to go on your case load, yes, all the time, every day of the week.

‘But not some scrounging b*****d that’s popping out kids like pigs. I’m going to get very, very politically incorrect this afternoon.’

‘You are, aren’t you? And I don’t blame you one bit.’

‘Now this one is working, the next one, but they’re obviously getting other help, so I need to ring them. But they’re a little bit different because they’re trying.’

However, rather than hanging up, the message proceeds, and communication was caught among team members who were oblivious they were being recorded.

One female begins to giggle and laughs: ‘I’m going to get very, very politically incorrect this afternoon.’ The other then responds: ‘You are, aren’t you? And I don’t blame you one bit.’

Mrs Garcia, who has a dual Mexican-British citizen, said: ‘I got sick, I was so upset over the weekend. It is really offensive all the things that she says on the voicemail. And it sounds like the other person totally agrees with her.
‘The fact that they say things like “oh they aren’t even English names” – this goes beyond everything, saying I pop out kids like pigs. I have dual nationality, we did everything right, I’m not illegal.

‘She shouldn’t express this about people from other backgrounds.’Mrs Garcia said she never wanted to turn to benefits but was forced to when she could no longer afford the rent to house her children, who are eight, six and four.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson informed MailOnline today: ‘We are taking this incident extremely seriously, and we have launched an investigation.’

Each person who works in a Job Centre should be charged with atrocities opposing Humanity and told it’s up to them to demonstrate their integrity. The most depressing thing about being out of work is going to a job centre with their ridiculous levels of intimidating security, more than you’d find in night clubs. Anyone relying solely on a Job Centre for their employment is going to find themselves out of work for a long time or in work for a very short time.

Practically everybody gets jobs from employment agencies rather than the short hours, low-paid drivel jobs in job centres. The workers themselves have twaddle jobs with despicable salaries and on top of that, they have targets from this wicked government to penalise people on the most flimsy pretence. They are told to wind people up on purpose to make them kick off so they can sanction them. Everyone likes to feel a little bit superior to someone else no matter how humble they are. The only job fulfilment Job Centre staff get is looking down their beaks at Jobseekers.

People who whine they don’t get £1,000 per month should perhaps work full time, perhaps retrain or get a better position.  We should quit judging single mothers. A £1,000 a month is not a lot, and it’s not like this particular lady is a scrounger, she openly said that she fell on difficult times.

Isn’t that what the benefits scheme is designed for? Plus most people are more than content to pay taxes to implement a safety net.

There are a number of people having kids for benefits, for some, it’s the only opportunity they have of getting a home to live in. It’s a disgrace since various people in this country are struggling when they are in full employment. There appears to be this idea that a person is rolling in dough when they are in work, it will just continue until there are jobs that are well paid, and give people some kind of hope.

Jobcentre workers are there to hinder not support claimants, it’s no wonder that they treat people with such contempt. It’s called the job centre but actually, it is simply a checking station. Monitoring you have ticked all the boxes if you haven’t, you get sanctioned. That’s their duty to penalise claimants. They seem to get a huge thrill out of it too.

Although I would have no idea who would get such enthusiasm out of sanctioning people so that they have no funds, existing on nothing, it must be some sort of arousal tactic to make people fall into the depths of poverty. If you want to destroy somebody else’s life, I am certain there are many ways that it could be done, other than taking their money off them.

People are simply begging to be helped, not hindered to the position where they just want to take their own lives as they can see no other way around a situation. If they want to expand hunger, they are going the right way about it, and whilst they are doing it, they are also being extremely biassed.

People do not want to be jobless, though I do acknowledge there are a few out there that just don’t want to labour, however, parents are not one of those, and people who serve for the job centre should be impartial when serving in that sort of setting, and if they can’t be unbiased, then they shouldn’t be working there at all. We have lots of bullying outside of the workplace, we don’t want it inside, after all, all of those that do work there are assumed to be grown-ups, obviously not in this incident.

Kicked Out Of School

A teenage student has been forbidden from school because teachers stated her dyed hair was an unnatural colour. Fern Burke, 14, was told she could not return to classes at Middleton Technology School in Rochdale until her hair was darker.

Fern’s mum, Tracey Burke, has tried to darken it twice, however, following being told Fern’s hair was still too bright she declines to use a darker black colourant since she worries her daughter would be browbeaten.

Fern, a true brunette, dyed her hair red over the summer, however, maintains the colour waned over the summer. But inside moments of returning for the current school term, her mum got a telephone call stating Fern’s hair was too bright.

Mrs Burke then deepened it with two bottles of brown dye, however, teachers stated that it still wasn’t natural enough. Fern, who lives in Searness Road, Middleton, with her mum, father Patrick, brother Dion, 17, and sister Grace, is presently missing lessons.

Mrs Burke, herself a primary school teaching assistant, stated that Fern had always wanted to experiment and dye her hair red. As her mum knew this was not permitted in school, they waited for the summer holidays to dye it.

After seven weeks off, the colour had waned significantly and Fern returned to school. However, she was told that the colour was still too red, so at the weekend they dyed her hair twice with dark brown.

Mrs Burke stated that she refuses to dye Fern’s hair any darker, and said that the last time she dyed her hair black she was bullied. Naturally, she doesn’t want to endure this again. She said, that she didn’t believe this was right considering there are teachers at the school with purple hair or highlights which are not true colours.

Fern appreciates the necessity for rules inside the school in preparing for the working environment, but you tell me a job where you would be sent home or fired for the colour of your hair. Her mother said she needs to be getting on with work.

Fern’s mum said that she’s now begun Year 10 and needs to concentrate on her GCSEs. The Headteacher Alison Crompton refused to discuss the situation, I question why that might be?

There appears to be an enormous disparity on the colour of a person’s hair whilst in school, but shouldn’t teachers be extra receptive to their students, and recognise that people are individuals, and as individuals should be able to attire and have their hair how they require.

Clearly, teachers can’t say that violates on anyone, or what should and should not be, and if so, does this suggest that we all have to look the same, wear the same, and have the corresponding hair colour, or are we to one day grow up to be the Stepford Wives?

Does this suggest that if students are not permitted to wear their hair how they want, or have the colour that they want it, the teachers should be obeying the identical custom? If one rule is suitable for the pupils, then clearly it should be the same for the teachers?

Opinions have diminished considerably since I was at school towards the way that students should be clothed, and what colour their hair should be, and shouldn’t we as individuals be entitled to be who we truly are, rather than how a culture thinks we should be.

An individual is a person or a particular thing. Identity or selfhood is the nature or essence of being an individual, especially of being a person separate from another person and controlling his or her own needs or goals. The specific interpretation of an individual is essential in the areas of biology, law, and philosophy.

Individualism makes the individual its focus and so begins with the basic premise that the human individual is of prime consequence in the fight for freedom. The most powerful kind of freedom is to be what we really are.

If you feel uncomfortable with who you actually are, and hide the way you truly are, you’re letting society shatter your existence. You should stand up for the freedom to be yourself.

At times, schools handle students negatively. Students need to be different from another person in their own individual way, and there is nothing incorrect about that, it simply indicates that person has decided to be an individual.

Though, sometimes it is simply to fit in with others so that they do not get bullied, which can generate an adverse environment for the whole school population. People don’t start off understanding who they are as an individual, and through all the steps of growing up, teenagers are told how they should act in various circumstances.

The way a person sees himself/herself is discovered over a span of time and comes from seeing himself/herself acting in various settings. That persona is developed over a period of time until individuals come to identify themselves as themselves.

It is common for people to attempt to show themselves as if they are more beautiful and popular than they actually are. A man will pretend to be suave, and mature, and poised, and a woman puts on lipstick carefully to improve her image.

In a sense, a person should not settle for just being himself. People should not feel guilty for being who they are, and for whatever the reason, many people think like they have to struggle for the freedom to simply live as they want.

IT’S OKAY FOR YOU TO BE YOU!

Couple In Court For Stealing Food

Tesco-Logo-Source

A despairing couple who were arrested for robbing out-of-date food from supermarket bins had to send their starving kids to live with grandparents. Paul and Kerry Barker swiped chicken wings, bread and cheese from a locked Tesco compound at night, however, Paul was shown leniency by a judge who questioned: “How are they supposed to live?”

The couple, who have two children, stated they had been reduced to stealing since their benefits were slashed. Paul, 39, said, “I was starving. We would sometimes go two or three days without food. I just could not take it anymore.”

He praised the kind judge who gave him an unconditional discharge. Kerry, 29, is expected in court on Wednesday, however, maintains she has been told to anticipate the equivalent punishment. The Barkers said today they did not give their children, Mollie-Mae, 22 months, and Jayden Paul, three, any out-of-date food. Although they did get shoplifted food.

Kerry stated, “We were concerned with the food which was out of date that their immune system was not like ours. But we were struggling to feed ourselves.

“We got a £200 loan from a doorstep shark to get us through Christmas but we have to pay back £400.”

Kerry stated their extreme situation was made worse by her benefits being sanctioned. She lost £60 a week in Jobseekers Allowance after missing an interview with the Department for Work and Pensions. Kerry stated the letter about the meeting came late at their home in Hetton-le-Hole near Sunderland.

The penalties meant that they were left with £94 a week to live on, £50 in Paul’s income support, plus £44 child benefit. Following rent, bills and repayments to the loan shark, they had as little as £8 a week to support the family-of-four.

Kerry stated, “I could not believe it when they stopped my benefits. It did not leave us with enough to survive.”

Since January, the couple took the decision to remove the children from their home to live with Kerry’s parents Mavis, 63, and Patrick, 65, 100 miles away in Keswick, Cumbria. Paul went to live with them for many weeks to help them settle there.

Kerry had to return to look after their house in Hetton-le-Hole where the parents want the kids to grow up. They can only see their children about twice a month as it is a two-hour drive for their grandparents. Kerry stated, “It was heartbreaking but we felt we had no choice. I speak to them every day on the phone and read them a bedtime story every night.

“It is a horrible situation but this was our choice. We knew they would be fed properly and looked after. Once I get my medication sorted, I’m going to get a job then bring the kids back to be with us.”

Kerry returned to the family house on Bank Holiday Monday to discover the home ransacked, with thieves taking anything of any substance. The lead was taken from the roof, copper pipes removed, the boiler, fridge and cooker taken along with valuables.

Their private landlord is presently working hard on repairs, however, Kerry has been forced to rely on the charity of a neighbour and close friend Annabelle Loughlin, 22, to wash, cook and stay warm at her house, whilst Paul helps care for the children in Cumbria.

“There is no water, electricity or oven to cook food,” said Kerry, who cannot stay with her parents since the Barkers want to settle back in Hetton-le-Hole again once she has found work, and want to keep on their house.

“They smashed up everything, and I will have to start again.”

The mum suffers from pancreatitis and depression which led her to leave her £21,000 a year council administrator position. Her benefits were sanctioned in December. Paul broke his back in an accident when he was a scaffolder eight years ago but too had his benefits decreased following an evaluation decreed he was fit to work.

Their food bank said the family were only permitted one voucher a month, and over Christmas, Paul was reduced to going through the bins at Tesco. He stated he used a plank as a ladder to get over a 10ft wall at the back of the building.

Paul continued, “I was desperate. I had to do something otherwise, we would have had nothing to eat.

“We waited until it was dark and took food which had been thrown out… It’s not what you would call living.”

The pair were caught on CCTV at midnight on January 5 as they swiped the food. They were arrested in March. Kerry stated she was “p***ed off” at being taken to court for stealing from bins. Paul pleaded guilty to stealing however District Judge Roger Elsey did not impose court costs and stated he could not impose a sentence because they are struggling.

The judge continued, “How are they expected to live? It seems to me the appropriate punishment for taking food which is of no value is an absolute discharge.”

Paul, who has not been able to hold down a job owing to his severe back impairment, was dispensed with at Sunderland magistrates court on Tuesday last week. Jeanette Smith, prosecuting, stated while the stolen things were to be thrown out, they were in a protected compound, continuing that Tesco’s policy is not to give away abandoned food.

Angus Westgarth, mitigating, stated: “At the time, they hadn’t had benefits or any money since December. It seems the state has failed them. He is having to duck and dive to feed himself. He is trying to survive however he can.”

Paul, who was forbidden from the store in Hetton following a series of shoplifting convictions, informed the court he previously had a drug problem but was now clean. The court heard Kerry had a sociology degree but gave up her council position after suffering post-natal depression.

The mum, whose benefits have been restored, is still to enter a plea. She has too been charged with theft.

In a statement, Tesco stated, “Working with the charity FareShare, we have already distributed over three million meals of surplus food to people in need.

“We are working on ways to make sure more surplus food is donated in this way.

“It is not safe to take food from bins and that is why we work with charities to redistribute surplus food that is safe to eat to people who need it.”

The DWP stated Kerry was sanctioned for many weeks, continuing, “Mrs Barker is currently in receipt of benefits.”

cps

The Crown Prosecution Service stated, “In considering the public interest in prosecuting the case we took into account previous similar offending, the safety risks in trespassing on commercial properties and the health risk in eating food not deemed fit for consumption by the company that threw it away.

“The mitigating factors in this case, and outlined in court, could not justify dropping a prosecution but could, of course, be reflected in the final penalty considered by the court.”

More than a million people received at least three days’ worth of emergency food from Trussell Trust foodbanks in the past 12 months.

People are being sanctioned for the various silly reasons, and it’s all gone quite insane, and because of this, are we to accept that people in government are of sound mind and body? It’s crazy to think that they really are, and these are some of the dumb-ass things that the government sanction people for.

One 60-year-old army veteran who volunteers to sell poppies for the Royal British Legion in memory of fallen comrades. The Jobcentre responded, “You’ve applied for dozens of jobs, including the supermarket where you sold the poppies, but without success, you are sanctioned for four weeks.”

You get a job interview. It’s at the same time as your jobcentre appointment, so you reschedule the job centre. You attend your rearranged appointment and then get a letter stating your benefits will be stopped because going to a job interview isn’t a good enough reason to miss an appointment.

Your gran dies during the night. The next morning your spouse calls the job centre and asks if you can come in the next day instead. The centre agrees, and you sign in the next day. Then you get a letter saying that you failed to sign in and would be sanctioned if you don’t reply within seven days. You respond, clarifying the situation. The job centre gives you a six-week sanction for not responding.

You’ve signed in on time, been to interviews and applied for work. Your jobcentre advisor recommends you make a two-line change to your CV, which you do but fail to give the updated CV to the job centre because you weren’t told you had to. You are sanctioned for four weeks.

There’s a term I would use for these people, but of course, I can’t possibly say what I want to say on here, I might get sanctioned for it!
