K said “I do not believe this will lead to a real chage in the practice of justice.” – am with you totally, it is those who administer the law who seem increasingly removed from justice. I think when the Home Office feels it has to intervene then there is something seriously wrong with our criminal justice system. Couldn’t be them tinkering in the first place could it??

Newmania – so sorry about your difficulty, this was discussed yesterday and we will continue to do what we can to provide service. You could compose comments in Word? and if BJ commenting fails email us your comment.

That’s 16.8 million workers employed by SMEs, Boris -just in case you’ve lost your calculator

Our jobs and businesses are under repeated attack from nulab.

We are desperately in need of a political champion.

Exactly, newmania! Why do none of the parties wake up to the plight of the 4 MILLION SMES and our staff who comprise almost 60% of the workforce?

Doesn’t any party want all of our millions of votes at the next election?

Yes FLO and its the same all over. NuLab claim increased numbers of small businesses but it is a blatant lie.
In fact they have made the qaulification for Labour only Sub Contractor onerous so as to force labourers to become fully self employed. By introdcing huge red tape and Employenment legislation straight from the EU and Unions they force everyone to be their own business when they are in fact employees without security

THEN- They announce a growth in business start ups . Real SMEs have plummteted
New Planning regulation will put “A Tescos in every Village”. Lovely. No more shops .

These things matter and it is here the conservative Party has to stop kissing its blow up Milton Friedman

Nighty night

BTW Flo , I am off to a “sustainable communities” bill meeting in a day or so.I very much support this legislation and other Conservative attempts to re-empower ?(ugh ) local politics.

Making Government account to local communtites for how public money is spent in their area and giving councils new powers to redirect the cash towards local people’s priorities, is a great idea.

The government’s version, the local government white paper, also promises to give more power to local residents to shape service deliveries and priorities, yet we know that in reality this is a purely cosmetic exercise which will mean more power for nulab supporting officers, especially those with a direct line to the government, more power for quangos and more power for whole range of public service cliques who are collectively misrepresented at ‘the people’.

Take the so called decriminalisation of parking fines. The government has claimed to have given communities via their LAs the power to control and resolve parking issues and to determine parking fines themselves. Yet, in reality, the government still rigidly controls the form such measures will take by beating LAs, especially those in the South and in Conservative areas, with the big stick of restrictive, discriminatory and punitive – funding allocations, which, along with the preponderance of nulab council officers, pressurise (and bribe) councillors into ignoring the wishes of their communities and applying this power in the most irrational and restrictive manner.

The end result of decriminalisation in my town is that my council (i.e. the nulab officers) are now introducing punitive measures to stop almost all parking, business and customer, in the, currently thriving, smaller shopping areas. Non trade parking will be allowed to park for a few hours in costly, miniscule, car parks which hold only a quarter of the parking spaces necessary to keep our community shopping areas alive . Most businesses need constant access to their vehicles yet will be barred from the tiny car parks and will have nowhere to park at all. Shop workers on low wages, in the unlikely event they can find a space in the car parks, will be forced to pay such punitive parking rates that it won’t be worth while working. Our community shopping areas will become ghost towns.

So what do you know, the only benefactors of this punitive policy will be the out of town supermarkets with their free parking spaces and their nulab donor Chief Execs.

How ironic that Carty and Brown come from religious backgrounds. This was one of Boris Johnson’s more incoherent rants.

Neil i have some doubts about your whole post but this “is it not moral cowardice to avoid responsibility for that act?”. Is IMHO quite right . Why do you feel we have reached a point where we lack moral courage?
