Hello again fellow bloggers!
Its been a while, March 8th, wow, has been a long time, while everyone else have been busy little bees posting like mad I’ve been busy arguing my arse off on one of my
fave sites, it is great for debating and shooting down the twats of the world who think they are right – when clearly, its me that’s right all the time! They haven’t learnt yet, but they will, poor little minions.
I’ve also been busy in many aspects of life, job hunting has slowed a little bit but a company who two weeks ago said no to me because I was too inexperienced for one job and too good for the other want to see me again, presumably because they want to see if I can fit in the middle somewhere, have an interview there tonight so fingers crossed I’ll be able to leave by this time next week. That would be wicked, especially after the meeting yesterday when the Getronics HR came in and said that basically they want 5 people working for Philips, currently there are 9 of us! That’s math that doesn’t work, especially as they have said they don’t want to get rid of any of us…… dozy bastards!
I passed my football (note: football, not soccer) referees exam as well so have been busy with that, earning a bit of extra cash for practically doing nothing, its been cool, I have booked 4 people so far, which in 5-a-side football means they have to leave the pitch for 4 minutes, take four minutes of football away from snarling idiots is not the easiest thing to do so its been a great learning experience and I have loved doing it so far. Have my first meeting tonight, about 30 referees in one room,
Patrick Viera's favourite place no doubt, am looking forward to it, should be cool.
One of the main reasons though for not blogging as much of course has been the great weather, man do I feel like I have taken happy pills this morning, what’s happening to me, it has been pretty good so far, 10 degrees hotter than average for this time of year, if this really is global warming then I say bring it on, everyone is happier, skirts are shorter, life is grand, nothing wrong with it in my eyes.
I do have one major thing to say though and its a serious one.
I’ve touched on the subject before about paedophiles and I feel like more should be done, reason is, I have just read a book in two days, in fact, take away time asleep and time at work and I probably read it in about 4 hours total, now I don’t read books but this had me gripped, I suggest to any parent to buy it and read it.
Sara Payne: A mother’s story, the English will have no doubt who it is, other people who read this blog might not, but they might I don’t know how far the news travelled when it happened.
It’s a true story about an angelic 8 year old girl who was snatched off the street and murdered by a known paedophile. This has prompted massive calls for changes in the law and has been called
“Sarah’s Law” it is a very similar case to that which prompted
Megan’s Law in the states, the difference being is that the Americans took 89 days to change laws, it is coming up to the 7th anniversary of her death this year and still the government are pussy footing around, putting the rights of the paedophile first and I think its disgusting.
I don’t have children but I wholeheartedly support this campaign. Why should parents live in fear not knowing if there is a convicted paedo living near them? Of course you will never stop everyone but if you knew that there were some in an area you were visiting you would certainly be more cautious about letting your children out of your sight like Sara Payne did to her daughter. Why is the government so worried about paedos “Going underground” surely if they aren’t signed onto the sex offenders register then they are already underground? Out of 150,000 sex offenders in this country only 12,000 of them are on the register. That’s a big number of convicted attackers not accounted for 64% of sex offenders, re-offend within 4 years! Where are they? Does anyone know? Of course not, they are allowed to roam free wherever they please.
Roy Whiting, the man convicted of Sarah Payne’s murder, is classed as a murderer, not, for some reason, a sex offender, therefore in the unlikely event that he is ever released from prison then he won’t have to sign the sex offenders register? Why the fuck not? He kidnapped, sexually assaulted and murdered an 8 year old girl?? That makes no sense whatsoever and typical of the shoddy way this country is run!
Since Sarah Payne’s murder there have been a lot of children killed in this country, not all of them by paedophiles admittedly but children are the future and more should be done to protect them. I am not in anyway forgetting the horrific murders of people like
Victoria Climbie, but by focusing on Sarah’s law we will eliminate so much grief from society, the murders of Danielle Jones, Jessica Chapman & Holly Wells and Milly Dowler were all high profile cases and in the case of
Jessica and Holly was another case just like Sarah Payne’s.
Had the families known that Ian Huntley was a sex offender then they would have told their children to never go into his house. Instead because he was the school caretaker they assumed he was safe, went into his house and only came out to be dumped in a field and burned to get rid of evidence after he had killed them. This is sickening and should not be allowed to happen, yet it does happen, on a regular basis it seems.
Milly Dowlers killer has never been found, 5 years now yet because it was five years ago people have forgotten about it, how do her parents get some form of closure knowing he is still out there?
Danielle Jones killer is the exception, she was murdered by her uncle and since his conviction he has not told anyone where the body is. People like him really need to die.
I have also been reading another book, its by
Gordon Smith, he is a medium and I finished that yesterday as well, for someone who doesn’t read books that’s quite impressive, anyway, if you read Sara Payne’s book and feel upset by it, then read a bit of Gordon Smith, I wont spoil it as Lindsay is reading Sara’s book at the moment but there is a bit at the end in the second to last chapter of Sara’s book which links the two together, I had a lump in my throat as I read the line and it was so heart-warming and she told the story so well that you kind of hoped that it would be true and from reading Gordon’s book, I know it to be true!!
There is always hope after crimes like this, but the pain will never go away, I’m sure that if someone out there stepped up to the plate and really made Sarah’s Law happen then our world will be a better place for it. I’d love to kick the government out and take over but where do I sign up? How do I do it? Do I need someone to fund a political party? You just wait Tony Blair; I’ll be on your doorstep soon smashing your door in!
