UK – Banana Republic!

The recent incident of a mother being followed home by an off-duty police officer who saw the mother chastise her children in a shop, a follow up visit by other on-duty officers to question the mother about the incident and the subsequent letter from the local council informing the mother that her brush with the law has now been recorded on council records where it will remain for the next fourteen years serves as a reminder of what a sorry state our police force is now in.

Just for a moment, try – if you can – and remember the police force how they used to be. For those of you under the age of fortyish, our police were once a tremendously well-respected organisation both at home and abroad. We used to take pride in our police force and how they were the “envy of the world”. As a people we could rely on the police force to use common sense and discretion and to be on the side of the public at all times. Criminals feared the police and the public loved them for it.

Forty years of remorseless progressive liberalism later and the modern “police service” is a discredited and disliked organisation held in contempt by both criminals and the public alike. The police are ineffectual in dealing with criminal behaviour and, as a consequence of their own recognition that they are so ineffectual, the police take that out on the soft targets of the law-abiding public. The police despise the public and the public despise the police.

The sort of behaviour we now see from our police “services” is similar to that we once used to sneer at in banana republics which always seemed to be on the verge of revolution. We used to think “that could never happen here”.

Well it could and it has.

British Summer Time

The Best!

AS OF THIS WEEKEND 223 BRITISH SOLDIERS HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN SINCE 2001
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Let’s not forget that FREEDOM is not free….

Thinking of all the British Soldiers

A Prayer chain for our Military… Don’t break it!

GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!


THE FINAL INSPECTION

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
‘Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?’
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
‘No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
‘Step forward now, you soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well..
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.’

It’s the Military, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the Press.

It’s the Military, not the poet who has given us the freedom of speech.

It’s the Military, not the politicians that ensures our right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

It’s the Military, that salutes the flag, that serves beneath it, who’s coffins are draped by it.
If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the Military, please pass this on and pray for our men and women who have served and are currently serving our country and pray for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
