Something I just had to put on here.

Its not a rant its just I watched "My new face" on channel four last night and it was hugely fascinating, basically its a charity (Facingtheworld) which helps out hugely disfigured children from the poorer parts of the world. Check out the website to understand where im going with this as I cant be bothered to post lots of pictures!!!
Some of the pictures are quite shocking but there are people out there who are helping, namely these two surgeons! Just read about it and be amazed, one kid last night "Ney Kit" literally had his face peeled back like an orange so that they could get at the tumour inside his cheek and then used bone from his skull to repair a whole in his cheek! It was amazing to watch (gross, but amazing) and was pioneering surgery.
Its amazing that we have the technology to do this sort of thing in the world now 100 years ago these kids would have been left to die an early death but thanks to this charity they have a chance of a life, it wont be 100% normal in the case of some, I'm thinking of Arianto, but at least his tumor is no longer growing!
Im guessing my rant is aimed loosely at those druggies from my previous post, scoring £4000 out of taxpayers pockets and what will they do with it? Spend it on more drugs probably, they wont give a shit about charities like this, I admit that im not the greatest when it comes to giving to charities and yes I should help more thats for certain, I know that and yes I do feel guilty about it but what pisses me off is that there are people out there in this world of ours earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a week (footballers) who although might do the odd thing every now and then they earn crazy amounts of money but care more about their latest sponsorship deal rather than helping out people like these surgeons.

Why is it always the "normal" people that care? A case in point Michael Shields is a wrongly convicted man currently holed up in a Belgian jail for a crime he didnt commit. His family needed to raise £90,000 to bring him to England so he could at least serve his time in an English prison (bare in mind he is innocent!!) He is a liverpool fan, and Liverpool have done lots to help the cause, Paul McCartney (yes the Paul McCartney) said that he would have a charity concert to help raise funds - stop right there - Lets say it was on my doorstep and I went to it, £30 for a ticket now doubt, then god knows how much for food and drink. Then I would have felt obliged to put a tenner in the bucket for the cause. All well and good, everyone who does that at the concert and he's a free man. Now think about it Paul McCartney is worth 800MILLION pounds. What is £90,000 to him? A days interest? Why go to the fuss of having a concert when he could just dip into his own wealth and pay for Michael to come out?

My point is that although I dont do it much, im going to start trying to give more and I think others in the world should follow suit - especially you Mr McCartney you greedy shit.

Its that time of week again!!

Now I'm not one to moan about the state this country is in.......... but this week four news stories have really caught my eye and its amazing that things like this dont get more coverage, basically they are four stories which bounce off each other. I'll start with the one I know most about.

Up to 200 prisoners and ex-prisoners have received a cash payout due to them being deprived of their human rights while in prison basically they are all ex junkies and while they were in prison they were made to go "cold turkey" they took their case to the European court of human rights who agreed and said that they could all have roughly about 4 grand each. Excuse my French but this fucking stinks! That is OUR money, the taxpayer why should we pay for this shit? If they dont want to come off heroin then dont commit crimes that will put you in prison you cock! What did they expect when they went to prison? A tuck shop with class A drugs for sale if you cleaned the toilet with a toothbrush? Coz thats what you should be doing in prison - cleaning toilets with a toothbrush!! Not sitting in your cell smacking up because its against your human rights to come off heroin!

You just know that this is going to open the floodgates - after all there are rapists in jail who think its their human right to rape people - they are being denied that and you just know that our law and government are so fucking stupid that they will agree with them.

Compare that to this other little story that didnt get as much press.

A council is going to ban its staff having fag breaks, im not a smoker, so I dont really care that much and in the long run it might do them a favour, I mean I like chocolate but I dont need to go outside the building for five minutes to eat it - but thats not the point! Some of these people might have been smoking for years so surely it is against their human right to make them stop "cold turkey"?? But no, the government are all for this ban HOW?? Surely due to the fact that a bunch of ex-junkies who helped out no-one in their life can get 4 grand each then the smokers of this councils staff can do the same? Who will pay for that when they decide to sue? Yep you guessed it, you and me! I hate smoking but if someone wants to do it OUTSIDE then thats their friggin choice, its chucking down with rain today and bloody cold so more fool them, thats punishment enough! Have you ever tried to work with just one person who is trying to quit? Imagine a whole office full? Fuck that all the non-smokers will be going outside to get away from them. Again the government treats the criminals with respect and the rest of us like shit on a shoe.

And another example of this fucking shitty government (its getting so tiresome I cant even be bothered to come up with any other analogys apart from "fucking shitty") is the fact that rapists, murderers, muggers etc will be freed to walk our streets if they behave, I cant find the specific link to the story but I know it had something to do with the mouth that is Jack Straw, here is one I found some rapists might not even face trial? Just given a slap on the wrists and told to be on their merry little way and "Make sure you behave young man, ho, ho, ho" tell that to the next woman he meets in a dark street? Just type in "Rapist spared jail" into google and be amazed.......now of course you would think that murderers and rapists are the most dangerous people walking our streets so lock them up forever wouldnt you?

Dont you fear the government has its policy right, it has come out fighting and found quite possibly the most dangerous man in the country and jailed him. A 75 year old war hero was jailed for not paying his council tax thank god for that! Im so pleased the government has done that I was fearing for my life with him roaming the streets. The man earns just over £8000 a year due to his, quite frankly, piss poor pension (which no doubt Gordan Brown robbed to plug his money hole) and his council tax bill was just under £1500. Fair play to the man I say, as i've said before what do the council do to expect that amount of money? especially from a frail pensioner! But way to go Mr Blair get that scum off our streets, leave it to the rapists and murderers I feel much safer with them..........
