Another inexperienced minister speaks with falked tongue.
All this Government would do well to remember--GOOD JUDGEMENT COMES FROM EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD JUDGEMENT and GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU AREN’T LEARNING MUCH IF YOUR LIPS ARE MOVING.

GOING TO THE DOGS!!

31.01.08, 6:51pm

For once i think i can agree with this loopy woman in that all the youth are not going to the dogs, which is more than be said for her party and govt...they have all GONE to the dogs. None of them engage brain before opening their mouth which is why they always seem to dither and backtrack on statements or policy. If it was true that this woman was a teacher(probably as good at that as she is Home Sec....bloody useless) it speaks volumes for the mess they have made of education,education,education.

SILLY COW!

What on earth is she saying now? Does she really believe the total rubbish she spouts out? Time this hopeless woman got back to teaching kiddies (respect I suggest) and leave the job to someone capable of doing it - May I suggest Anne Wiidecombe for starters!

WHY DO I GET THE FEELING THAT THE HOME SECRETARY IS BEAMING FROM ANOTHER PLANET?

31.01.08, 2:57pm

The problem is not crime but how people respond to it? Is she for real?

Challenged on violent crime and by youngsters she tells everybody what they already know - that is, if they are still on planet earth and living in Britain ...

"Challenged over growing concerns about violence in society, she said that serious incidents had a "devastating impact" on victims' lives. "It also means other people feel frightened as well," she said.

No kidding!

YOUNGSTERS NOT GOING TO THE DOGS

31.01.08, 1:50pm

It's because in most cases, they are the dogs already. Behaving like wild dogs, roaming in packs and killing. Scavenging and stealing from others because they don't understand what's right and wrong.
Another pearl of wisdom from the stay at home secretery.

FANTASY ISLAND

31.01.08, 1:43pm

The Lib/Lab/Con Traitors live on Fantasy Island where people are not terrorized by feral gangs and the police will turn up when you phone them.

This morning I saw a pair of plastic coppers walking the streets they are nowhere to be seen when the sun goes down its like living in a real life "I am Legend" film where you dare not go out after the sun disappears.

Spliff and her fellow fantasy island dwellers have made the UK the cesspit it has now become.

WELL SAID, CONCERNEDBRIT

That's exactly the way it is.

Lie follows lie follows lie from this disgusting creature, Smith.
The whole liblabcon-trick cannot tell the truth because to do so would expose what they've been doing to us deliberately for decades while stuffing their pockets and laughing at us for voting for it.

AH! THE MINISTRY OF DISINFORMATION SPEAKS

31.01.08, 12:06pm

If only it was a simple case of her being misinformed.
We could get this whole sorry mess cleared up very quickly,
surely when we take her to the many and myriad of locations all around Britain, that is suffering this hideous breakdown in the fabric of our very society, when she sees for herself, the level, intensity and down right wilful rebellion of a very great many of our juvenile population, when she sees for herself a gang of children as young as three and four vandalising cars on the street in broad daylight and giving the finger to the owner whilst he watches in utter bewilderment, feeling completely let down by those who were elected to govern and maintain our livelihoods and protect our property and possessions.

SURELY then she will recant she will realise that she was completely and utterly wrong in her estimation of the size of the problem!!!

Don’t you think she would….

Nope not a bit of it, why, because that would mean that this whole sorry bunch of cretinous idiots that are currently running our country would have presided over JUST ONE of the many tragedies that this country has suffered under a completely incompetent government, that this country has known.

In short an admittance of utter failure and incompetency that is why they cannot allow the public to believe the situation is as BAD as it really IS.

So they resort to the good old tactic of misinformation in short LIES

LIES LIES LIES…

WE ARE NOT DECIEVED!!!!!!!!

OK why are they forming packs and roaming the streets causing mayhem, we live in a quite cul-de-sac and only
last night a gang of them were running up and down the street running over the bonnets and roofs of our cars
we phoned the police and they said it was not up to them
phone the community police, guess what answering machine and we will contact you in 48 hours
