All The Kites In The World

If you were a criminal, where would you like to live?
Sudan - 40 lashes and/or a jail sentence (sharing a cell with Mr & Mrs Cockroach) for giving the wrong name to a soft toy?
Britain - life sentenced reduced to minimum 3 1/2 years for beating a disabled man unconcious, urinating on his body and throwing him into a river to drown?
Eric Clapton AKA ‘God’ - sue me.
Spookily, the one thing which both insane outcomes have in common, is the pseudo-intellectual enthusiasm with which the representatives of each respective legal system will argue their legitimacy.
Oh, and the fact that the lawyers will make loads of money.
I’d like to put them all in the same room for five minutes.
I would like to live in Australia….
….or Canada…because this country is going down the pan…fast!
I read about this care of the slanted view care of the Daily Mash.
SUDAN was facing international sanctions last night after hacking off the little paws of a three year-old teddy bear.
The cuddly toy was found guilty of blasphemy after taking the name of the prophet Muhammad, in defiance of the country’s strict Islamic teddy-bear naming laws.
When in Rome…………….only applies here unfortunately.
Lawyers should all be sentence to jail sentences of at least 7 years. They are the only criminals who make good money out of crime.

Interesting, I personally object to the teacher being lashed, but is our house in order?
Sorry about the long winded link.
The natives are restless down here after reading this.
don’t blame it on a clash if civilisations ,will you ?
Maybe the prison service can outsource some of our finest prisoners to Sudan.

Only if the guards wear slippers!
Don’t forget Italy, where you can be held for a year pre charge. Here its 24 hours, 72 if you get a court involved, and its curtains no matter what the offence (terrorism excluded) when that time is up.
Its no wonder the director of Liberty lives in the UK,
Spitting on someone else’s religion has always been dangerous especially on the religion’s home ground.
Look what happens to you in England if you break their religious rules and spit on diversity.
If I were a criminal……… I would go large……. commit huge crimes which are extremely complex and difficult to prove……… because to prove the crimes against me in court would cause many officers a great deal of work, time, and would cost a great deal of money….. therefore my crimes would go to the bottom of the list as they would not be cost effective and therefore would be beaten in the need for detections for the week! I would never come to the top of the list to be detected… and would get away with the jobs! That’s just for starters…. because then I would easily get around the crap and chaos caused by the Crown Prosecution Service - who seem to not be responsible to anyone! So…… if I were a criminal….. it would be in England of course as I would never be convicted of anything…… my crimes would be too big to even be looked at!
If I were a criminal…… I would make my crimes big, complex and make huge amounts of money. Because that way I would never go to the top of the list to be detected. It would cost far too much in time, effort and money, when we have weekly detection figures to keep up with to appease the government! So I would always stay at the bottom of the pile for jobs to be worked on…. I would stay rich! Then, even if I did get to the top of the pile… I could always rely on the infamous Crown Prosecution Service to cause chaos and mahem to my case…… thereby allowing me to get off scott free! So if I were a criminal….. it would be in England!
Sorry about the two replies !! The first one said it didn’t go through….. I can’t believe they lied to me!!
Irrespective of what punishment (which I don’t agree with) is meted out for offences in Sudan. Would a school teacher in the UK call a teddy bear Jesus? I don’t think so. It never ceases to amaze me the number of our nationals that get into trouble in foreign countries and beg us to help them out.
Talking of crime I have several hundred thousand pound to get rid of, firstly has anyone got some brown envelops and secondly can any of you out there move it on for me?.
John - In answer to your question - Only if the teddy bear turned water into wine.
…… or if it was a Spanish teddy bear.
……and you were sure to pronounce it Hay-Zeus.
The Spanish/Mexicans do name their children after Jesus as do the Moslems with Mohammed as it’s considered an honour but still don’t think they have gone as far as naming teddy bears as such.
Of course you’re completely right Guv, the only people to benefit are the legal representatives.
Scary old world we live in.
1 I have a toy from childhood called Baby Jesus - it arrived at Christmas you see.
2 I think that the naming of the bear was insulting to bears. So we should rise up and incite violence (well, letter writing anyway) against people who think otherwise….bears would never get involved in something as shortsighted and unprovable as religion!
Best leave my childhood golliwog in the loft then….
Or better still, go out with it tonight and dump it in a neighbours bin before word gets out that I have one (a golliwog that is)
Bin followin’ this blog for a few weeks and beleive that it just confirms the depths of cynicism in the job today. Its is what keeps you goin’. Did their CPS make a charging decision at last.
ExTrafficbiker -
A Golliwog - in the bin? Surely not ! They are collectors items now.
I don’t like being called Jesus.
Can I come and live with you John?
ExTrafficbiker, what a great way to get rid of troublesome neighbours! Instant response by the Old Bill AND your neighbours get locked away for ever, never to be seen again. Has anyone thought of putting one in the bin at number 10?
I’m the only Jesus. Everyone else can just sod off.
I bet the prison officers don’t have to wear slippers at night so as not to wake the prisoners!!
One of the consequences in Sudan is that if you have mandatory sentences, this kind of perverse decision comes to pass. Remember the four year custody for robbery of a mobile phone anyone? Mandatory custody for breach of a community order meant that I - as a JP - ws faced with a Czech national given an 80 hour community work order. Attended every court and pre-sentence report session on time with an interpreter. Went to first work session and health and safety briefing translated by the same interpreter. Probation service manager asked how he could be sure that the interpreter had got the translation right (fully qualified, registered etc). No absolute assurance could be given so the defendant “breached”. We had no option but to impose a custodial sentence as the rules say if you can’t/won’t do the community order, the sentence goes to mandatory custody. This case was the only time I have, of my own volition, refused to go along with things, citing the Human Rights Act. We were, in my view, discriminating against him because he did not have English as his first language. Gave him a conditional discharge instead and later had a b*&&*king from the Clerk to the Justices. I suppose if he hadn’t been stealing from the high street in the first place none of this would have arisen….So no, I am not in favour of mandatory sentences.
Surely the interpreter, being qualified etc, could give that assurance. If not what is the point of having official interpreters in the first place? That is what they are there for isn’t it? It appears that common sense went out the window on this particular hearing and to be frank, I’m not surprised that you got a bollocking as a result. I’m sure all foreign criminals will be clammering to have their cases heard in your court in the knowledge that they will be ‘let off’ because English is not their first language and we might be breaching their human rights. I’m sorry but that is just stupid. But then this is the UK. (and no I don’t think four years is unreasonable for robbery of a mobile phone)
Going back to a previous blog, if that nice Sikh gentleman judging the teddy bear contest had named in Jesus. how many lashes would he have been sentenced to (unless it was commuted to having to eat in the station canteen!)
maybe the T shirt people will make one with FCUK MOHAMMED on it and some of our council house twats on holiday might end up proper in the cac…….
