One topic has beeen dominating water cooler conversation in Britain today: the murder of 11 year old Rhys Jones as he returned from soccer practice. 

Needless to say, as with any such incident of sadistic cruelty, the Left has swung into action with their two standard talking points: it’s an isolated incident, and it’s all caused by poverty. In other words, we need to avoid any knee jerk reactions, except when it involves throwing even more tax money down the hole in the ground labelled ‘community welfare social work yoof stuff’.

Don’t be shocked, but both these points are ludicrous. The killing occurred in a well-off suburb, while only the youth of the victim and the use of a firearm sets this case apart from any of the other examples of violent lunacy in modern Britain.

Incidentally, the fact the murder weapon was described as a pistol with a long barrel, rather than anything more specific, does serve to remind us of another embarrassing fact for the Left. Few (law abiding) people in Britain could identify any particular type of pistol simply because they’re banned, and have been since 1998. Indeed, in so far as Tony Blair announced during that crackdown that he’d taken the guns off Britain’s streets, that should have been our first clue as to Blair’s distant relationship with reality. 

Apparently, banning guns might have been a failure, but all those other great Liberal ideas on handling crime, why, they’ll work fine, just as soon  as they get a few tens of billions more.

Call it a hunch, but there may be a clue to the real cause of the current murder and mayhem in Britain in this week’s other controversial case. Twelve years ago, school head Philip Lawrence was stabbed to death by all-round scumbag Learco Chindamo. The judge recommended he be deported to his native Italy at the completion of his sentence. Since then the whole things become moot - as an EU citizen there’s nothing to stop Chindamo jumping on the next plane back, but that still didn’t prevent the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal coming out with a truly bananas decision not to deport him in the first place, as that would impinge on his ‘human right to family life’. In other words, the Tribunal decided that it’s illegal to deport murderers, if they’ve thought on to bring their family over to Britain before committing the offence.

That’s not the best of it. Guessing that, for some strange reason, our Italian friend may face a certain hostility from the public, the Left has now decided that he needs to be given a new ID. So America has the witness protection program, and we have the scumbag protection program - after all, as one apologist pointed out, being known as  an unblanced thug would make it hard for him to ‘make friends’ Hey, call me ‘Mr Harsh’, but I’m thinking that it’s the sign of a healthy society where sadistic nutcases are excluded.

On the other hand, while the Left agonises about their baby seal being unfairly abused, they have no qualms about abusing people who really are innocent victims. Here is the truly deranged nature of modern Liberalism in full bloom. Murder is no reason to be thrown out of the country, in fact once you’ve finished your twelve year sentance for murdering a completely innocent citizen, the state will bend over backwards to ensure you don’t even have to face any social stigma, even to the point of screaming abuse at the victim’s family should they be rude enough to object. Yet, still kids are being shot on their way home from soccer practice. Must be the shortage of youth clubs, hmmmmmmmm ?

2. aren’t “youth clubs” used to beat youths with?

   A shortage of them would explain the use of a gun in this murder…..we need more youth clubs.
