Welcome to Britain - where criminals are protected and victims can go to hell

In the news recently, we have heard the appalling tales of Fiona Pilkington and Vanessa George.

Ms Pilkington was a mother of two children - one of whom was profoundly disabled. The local trash on the road where Ms Pilkington lived made her and her daughter's lives hell, eventually driving her to kill both herself and her daughter. What is so appalling about this tragedy is that it could probably have been prevented if the police had taken her calls for help seriously and dealt with the rubbish who were making their lives hell. Instead, they would tell her she was over-reacting, and to keep her curtains closed. No surprise that, when the trash making her life hell were unmasked, they received death threats. What is (or I suppose shouldn't really be) a surprise is that the police took this very seriously, visiting the family and stepping up patrols to ensure that no one harmed them. Where were they when a law-abiding person needed help? The number of feral, out of control families on estates is increasing. Maybe they should be dealt with in the same way as an out of control dangerous dog, and be shot?

Now I come to the story of Vanessa George. This disgusting glob of lard was responsible for providing photographs of children from the nursery where it worked to an online paedophile ring. Naturally, this caused outrage among decent people, and, unfortunately, this thing will be protected in prison, and when it gets out it will use the human rights act to ensure it has a new identity and a ban on media revealing where it lives. It could also be helped to move abroad. Why should rubbish like George be given such help and protection when it is denied to law abiding people? Maybe it is time to abolish the human rights laws which provide so much protection for scum but none for their victims.
