Broken Britain - Barwell in Leicestershire

This blog has featured several features on "Broken Britain" .... highlighting a society in moral decay, and social decline. One in which the white hoodie, ethnic thug, islamic fanatic or general street scum rule at night, and where the government, and courts are too powerless, or too supine, to tackle the low level chaos that destroys the lives of hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens.

So easy is it to find these stories, that I hardly bother to report them .......... however, one so terrible in its human consequence, and so lacking in its official response has come to light today, nearly 18 months after the events took place, that I feel compelled to pass it on immediately.

Fiona Pilkington, a single mother of two handicapped children lived in the small Leicestershire village of Barwell. On the face of it, the village is genteel and passes this face to the world, but in fact whole streets are ruled by gangs of teen thugs, confident in the certain knowledge that the council, courts and police can do nothing to them.

These street scum discovered the family of Mrs Pilkington as early as 1992, and over a final period of 11 months (there had been decades of torment), they targeted them to near nightly attacks, while the rest of the street stood by and the police did nothing. In fact the police chose to treat each incident reported as 'separate and distinct' rather than the obviously sustained and persistent attack on the Pilkington family, that the attacks obviously were.

According to reports, most of the gang coalesced about the members of a few 'troublesome' families, who apparently are above (or even protected) by the law. The local Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council acknowledges that there are continuing problems from the same families.

In 2007, when these final terrible events took place, the council spoke to four families about their children, but one family refused to meet them and continued to cause trouble, with apparent impunity. "Throughout this tragic case, this family still continue to cause trouble to this day," community safety manager Ron Grantham told the inquest. "One of the particular offenders of anti-social behaviour continued to cause problems, it's not just one, it's members of the family." This family, have been identified as the Simmons family by one left wing newspaper, the rest have not risked it.

He conceded the case had not "put confidence" in what the police and council do, but said they had introduced "an awful lot of ways to stop anti-social behaviour". Although what these "awful lot of ways are" are, and why families on these streets are still apparently terrified, two years later, is not explained by Mr Grantham. Nor is the fact that, despite the Simmons family being 'council tenants' they have not been evicted, in spite of years of 'troublesome' behaviour.

One of the braver residents described the gangs in the area as "And they've got this look on them where 'You can't touch me... because of all these politics and rules you can't touch me, we can do what we want'." .... The gang's leader used to shout at the Pilkington house: "We can do anything we like and you can't do anything about it."

And the terrible human consequences alluded to at the start of this article?

Mrs Pilkington, so despairing of any official help, after an attempt by these thugs to force themselves into her house one night, got into her scratched and battered car with her 18-year-old daughter Francecca, and drove to a local wood, and there she set fire to the car with herself and her daughter inside.

They both died this terrible death, rather than live in the Britain being created by PC politicians, who put the 'human rights' of these scum, above the rights of a law abiding and loving parent, such as Fiona Pilkington.

The Police response to these terrible events of 18 months ago? Well Chris Tew, the former Assistant Chief Constable of Lincolnshire told the inquest, "Things have moved on quite considerably - there would be a totally different response today than there was then."

The arrogance in this last remark is quite astounding, considering the fact that the gangs are still patrolling the area untouched by police or council, with the law abiding cowering behind their curtains awaiting the bricks or stones coming through.

Perhaps the saddest aspects of this story is that there are elderly or disabled people across the estates of the UK, who are living the experiences of Mrs Pilkington, and where are their voices amongst the hand wringing? Nowhere to be heard.

Will anything change for them? No, no laws will be amended, nothing will be done to really tackle these "troublesome" families, and Britain will continue to sink into the cesspool that PC politicians deem to be its only future.

It's enough to make you despair ..... politicians in the UK will reap what they are sowing by their inaction.

Britain’s Moral Decline

This week has proved something of an eye opener on the state of Britain after 10 yrs of this Labour Government.

Sadly this snapshot also shows just how far our public standards have fallen over the last couple of decades, and it’s to no ones credit that our government and the PC media merely wring their hands, and accept this decline as being “just the way it is”.

Well maybe this is “just the way it is”, but surely we have something left as a society. Anyway here’s a sample of news stories taken from just the last few days, illustrating what a decline law and order has suffered in the UK.

Cab drivers demand zero tolerance
Taxi drivers have called for a zero tolerance approach to violent passengers after claiming 43 drivers have been killed in the past 15 years.

No motive over doormen shooting
Two doormen have been shot outside a nightclub in Liverpool. Merseyside Police said they did not have a motive for the attack but believe a gunman travelled to the scene in a dark-coloured hatchback car.

Five arrested over Rhys's death
Police hunting the killer of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Liverpool have arrested five more teenagers, including two girls. The five are three males aged 15, 16 and 19, and two females aged 15 and 18.

Man dies after street gang attack
A 23-year-old man with learning difficulties has died in hospital after being "savagely attacked" by a gang of up to five youths. A 21-year-old man and three youths, one aged 16 and two aged 17, are being questioned on suspicion of murder.

Four in court over M40 shooting
Four men have appeared in court in connection with the murder of a biker who was shot dead on the M40. Three of those men have been charged with murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and one other firearms offence.

Appeal after man is shot in face
A 25-year-old man has been shot in the face in Greater Manchester. Police are appealing for witnesses.

Three men charged over shootings
Three men have been charged with violent disorder following the shooting of two men who are in a serious condition in hospital in Hemel Hempstead.

Three held in city murder probe
Police have arrested three men on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead in Newcastle city centre. Police have not released details of the killing.

Police car shot at in M5 pursuit
Shots were fired at a police car after officers approached a parked BMW during a routine check in Gloucestershire.

Teenager stabbed on high street
A 15-year-old boy has been taken to hospital after being stabbed in Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan. A 17-year-old male youth has been arrested in connection with the incident which took place on Cowbridge High Street.

Flat death teenager 'was stabbed'
Police in Leeds have started a murder investigation after a post-mortem examination showed a teenager found dead in the city had been stabbed.

Woman dies following gang attack
A 20-year-old woman, who was attacked by a gang of youths in a park in Lancashire, has died in hospital. Lancashire police have charged five teenage boys, aged between 15 and 17, with section 18 wounding.

Four youths in court over murder
Four teenagers have appeared in court charged with the murder of a father-of-three outside his home. Garry Newlove, 47, was fatally injured after he approached a group of youths in Warrington, Cheshire, on 10 August. Adam Swellings, 18, appeared alongside three other youths, two aged 15 and one aged 17, at Warrington Crown Court

Third charge over party killing
A third man has been charged over the murder of a man who was stabbed to death at a party in Lancashire. Steven Taylor, 29, was stabbed during a gathering at his house on Primrose Terrace in Darwen on Saturday.

Two men bailed over knife attack
Two men arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was assaulted with a chair and a craft knife, have been released on bail.
(This story is disturbing, when you discover that attempted murder only warrants bail, and not detention these days. I assume that attempted murders are nearer an ASBO offence than a custodial sentence so no need to lock them up awaiting trial – the police won’t get witnesses with this scum on the streets!)

Three teenagers guilty of murder
Three teenagers have been convicted of murder and one of manslaughter over the death of 19-year-old Liam Smith who was shot outside Altcourse prison. (I don’t mind when they kill each other LOL)

Murder probe detectives seek man
Detectives investigating the murder of a man who was stabbed in his home have named a man they would like to talk to in connection with the death. Thames Valley Police are seeking Eric Johnson, 22, who was last seen running from the home on the day of the death.

And to prove how sad and frightened these kinds of incident has caused us to become –

Unmitigated ferocity, here I come
What is the right thing to do in the face of anti-social behaviour? It's a question being asked after the deaths of a number of people who decided to step in to stop what they saw as troublemakers. Here a man explains why for him, sitting back is no longer an option.

These are by no means all the murders of the last week, and many of these received no national coverage, but I think these headlines show how shallow the politicians are, who claim that “crime is falling”, and “these are isolated incidents”, whenever they get dragged out of the Westminster bubble to face reality.

Oh and I think the removal of corporal punishment in schools in 1986, and the rise in juvenile crime is just a coincidence, no really, it can't possibly be connected can it? :-)

Britain is in decline, and currently we don’t have the political leaders strong enough to pull us out of it.

• Brown's too tied to failed policies and a leftie PC brigade that infects labour.
• Campbell is just a blatherer and never going to hold power, and
• The boy David (Cameron) has proved to be a real disappointment to the right wing, in any case he nailed his colours to the mast with his "hug a hoody" speech. If ever a man backed the wrong horse, just to win a few liberal votes, it was Cameron with that speech implying a softness in his approach to youth crime, just as it was becoming a vote winner for a harder approach.

Can you imagine Maggie making that kind of speech?
