Are we as a world just getting lazier and lazier? I don’t mean physically as such, I mean more in general, it’s not exactly an age-old debate as it’s only recently started coming about. Things are “getting quicker” but is that because we are lazy or is it because we don’t have the time to spend doing “slow” things.

For example, today I have sent some emails to a couple of old mates because I am shit bored at work. It was only 10-15 years ago that I would spend an evening writing letters to my ‘pen pals’ I loved having pen pals, I loved writing letters when I was younger (Jesus, why does that sound like such a girly thing?) but I would write to everyone, well, I don’t think I ever wrote to a bloke but I wrote to loads of females!! I enjoyed it, the excitement of getting a new letter was really cool and now the only letters I get are more poxy bills or loan companies offering me superb introductory interest rates! (SOMEBODY SEND ME A LETTER………….;-)

These days though, even if I was to write a letter I’d probably do it in Word and print it off – is that lazy? Or is it ease of convenience? My writing is shocking at the best of times so I suppose it makes it more legible but I don’t send letters to anyone anymore and in a way it saddens me, I had some great friends that I would write to all the time, some of them I still speak to but more on an ad-hoc basis rather than the once a week/month letter we used to exchange. I’m taking this down two different paths, the first of which is my friend Lisa Gentle we would write constantly, all the bloody time, I must have sent and received about 100 letters over a period of about 5/6 years I’m sure if I looked hard enough in my old stuff there would be an old letter with her address on it somewhere and I could write to her but part of me can’t be bothered because its in the past and the past should always stay where it is but I do wonder how she is doing every now and then. Also and this is the second path, part of my brain says “Surely she would be on the internet somewhere by now” by that I mean she must have a profile on Facebook, myspace, bebo, friends reunited or something!! Yet try as I might I can’t find her, is it lazy on my part that I can’t be bothered to find her address or lazy on hers that she hasn’t caught up with the modern age yet and joined facebook like 30 million other people in the world? I don’t know which?

However, despite their being 30 million people signed up to facebook, I don’t feel a need to be friends with them all, yes if people add me as a friend I’ll accept them I’m not bothered about it really but why are people adding me as a friend when really, we never spoke at all, one girl is my “Friend” on facebook, she didn’t really like me and I wasn’t overly fond of her, I thought she was too much of a wannabe, she was sweet enough just a bit dumb. I haven’t spoken to her in over 10 years and despite adding me as a friend its likely to be another 10 at least before speaking to her again, I don’t see the point? If you’re not really friends with someone why add them? Again, it goes back to laziness, all of my close friends from school apart from a couple are now just “Virtual friends” They will poke me on facebook, so I’ll poke back, if they are too lazy to write anything on my wall then I’m dammed if I’m gonna write anything on theres! I’ll try and write on people’s walls but again part of me really can’t be bothered, what’s the point in all honesty?
All that is ever said is “HI, long time no speak, how are you” of course it’s a long time – there’s probably a reason you don’t talk anymore – the world moved on! If you read their profile though you’ll pretty much find out how they are, married, kids, divorced, lotto millionaire, hooker, so there you go, no need to ask the question anymore and that’s that, back to being a virtual friend!!
I wont say all bad things about Facebook though as I think it’s a great site and those friends who I have lost contact with who I might not have wanted to I can still stay in touch with, if they are signed up, one of my best mates emigrated to America, Facebook gives me the chance to still chat to her and view pictures of how she is doing – though she really shouldn’t have cut her hair short!! Another one of my mates is married with child now and I kept forgetting her child’s name (and the sex of said child!!), which kept on earning me a virtual slapping but now its on Facebook, I wont forget, Joshua….. See, imprinted in my head!!

But has it all been invented because we are just getting more and more lazier? One of my mates lives in Reading, bit of a trek for me, likewise for him in this direction so we hardly see each other anymore at all, last time I saw him was November last year, spoke to him via his wall on facebook and the odd email – but what’s wrong with picking up a phone and saying “Fancy a beer?” Is it just Britain where we have this obsession with virtual friends? I’m as guilty as the next man for not seeing my friends enough, I’ll openly admit it but how do you change the spiral you’re in without convincing others to do the same thing? We should have a “National turn off your computers day” Think of the energy saved and all the things you could do instead!

And yet I say this as I am writing a blog, on my computer……………it’s a strange, strange world………….

It’s been a while for a rant and I cant believe I blogged yesterday and I have need for another blog today. I was listening to the news today and I really cannot believe the time and effort our police ‘service’ waste on stupid wasteful meaningless tasks. My first point there is going to be who decided to change the name? It used to be “Police Force” Force is a much stronger word and changing it to ‘Service’ is so bloody gay, its makes our police out to be a bunch of ponces and lets be honest, most are! They employ people called “Diversity inclusion officers” to make sure that the ‘service’ has plenty of gay & lesbian people signing up. I have nothing against gay and lesbian people don’t get me wrong but I don’t want to become one just to be able to get a job as a police officer its pathetic!

Back to the main point though, I have mentioned before that our prisons are busting at the seams so the government are releasing people back into society because they have served long enough, never mind that they might have killed a few people, raped a few people, molested some children, they are no longer deemed a danger so they get released, I can’t remember the statistics for re-offending I have read it somewhere and it is really, really high yet still they are continuing the early release programme, its shocking. So with this you think the police ‘service’ would be overrun with problems, from people re-offending to the new knife and gun crimes that are happening daily at the moment. I am certain that if I was in the police force I would be concentrating on catching criminals. The people who disrupt lives from the “minor” crime of burglary to murder they are the people I would want to be catching and surely every other police officer in the land would want to be catching and locking up these criminals – yes?

No.

Birmingham police force has today announced a major crackdown on…………….. Nuisance car drivers those men who hang out of the car window and wolf whistle at women. OH MY FUCKING GOD, do they really have NOTHING better to do with their time? I am pretty sure that even the women being whistled at would tell the police to get on with something worthwhile. I know I blogged about how could I waste my day yesterday but if I was a police officer I wouldn’t think that I would have enough time in the day to waste doing stupid tasks like this! They have actually cautioned two people for having their car stereo too loud!!! I just want to scream so much!! It was only about 4 years ago I wanted to be in the police and I came pretty close to joining, however, I wasn’t black, gay, under 5ft 4, overweight or disabled in any way, so didn’t fit into the diversity inclusion model. So much of me now though is really glad that I didn’t get in, I wouldn’t want to be cautioning people for playing music! I would want to be chasing people down alleyways because they have just robbed a post office, catching the bastard and putting my foot into his head to stop him that is what I look for in a policeman. Not someone who stands still while Muslims burn the English flag in front of him, not someone who can’t put handcuffs on a criminal for fear of being sued for harassment, certainly not someone who arrests a bloke for wolf whistling!

Somebody high up needs to get a grip on this before it spirals completely out of control and our police ‘service’ are prancing around the streets in tutus with fluffy dogs hanging out of their pockets. Get back to basics, that’s my theory, get back to banjoing!!!

Why do we work?

I have been sat at my desk for 3.5 hours now, doing things to do with my football team, emailing my mates, checking out my money situation and now – writing this!

I could do all this at home but roughly I have earned over £55 this morning (before tax) and I have done NOTHING for it. If I had internet access I’d have added that to the list of time wasting activities but as this company is so sodding old fashioned you cant access any decent websites here! So why do we bother? I really want to be in a job which I love, where I don’t need to worry about how to waste my day, where I can sit at my desk, not look at the clock and then all of a sudden think “My god its time to go home” Instead, I am sat here thinking “1223, is that all, its not even sodding lunchtime yet”

In fact, it has taken an hour for me to write this much because I have been talking to my colleague about how rubbish work is! I have looked at other possibilities and I still am, including some possible web design work but don’t you just wish that you could just go to some huge job centre and say “I want to be xxx and I want to earn xxx” and by the end of the day you are in the job that you want to be doing earning what you want to earn? Obviously this would be within reason coz if I turned up and said I want to be a brain surgeon and I want to earn 425k a year that’d be a bit silly but if I could just say “I want to be a football agent and I want to earn at least 30k a year plus commission” I think that’s reasonable but to become a football agent you have to go through all sorts of exams which end up costing about 20k!! How the hell can I just do that? Talk about annoying

To become a driving instructor you have to pay nearly 3 grand to start out – I cant even afford that! We really do make it hard for everyone in this country to do what they want to do. The amount of students that qualify from Uni and then go and work in Bars and restaurants for years is unreal. I know a girl who is as bright as anything, she is very clever, she worked in McDonalds part time to pay her way through uni, she qualified, went travelling for a bit and when she came back took up her old job to pay her debts, that was 8 years ago, she is now a successful manager with lots of staff under her…. In her own restaurant….. of McDonalds……… yes that is an extreme case and kind of smacks of laziness on her part but in the less extreme cases its because the jobs simply aren’t out there so we have to stick to what we know in my case IT. It is so boring but its all I know and if I want to change career I have to take a huge pay cut which I cant afford to do, it’s a vicious horrible shitty circle but how do we get out of it?

I can kind of see the sense in people who just want to earn a couple of hundred grand really quickly and then give up work completely, I’d love that! Say you went on “Who wants to be a millionaire?” You win £125,000 most people, surely would give up work? I would, I would quit that very day, yes its only £125k No it wont cover the mortgage but so what? If you use the money wisely you can pay off the biggest debts and then train to be what you want to be but you need an influx of money to be able to do it, £125k is basically five years wages for me so yes even with that small an amount I would hang up my headset and get on with life!! Would you?

The Life Update:

My new job, well, it sucks! They actually expect me to work during the day – what’s that about!! OK I expect to work so I am just kidding but there are times during the day when the mind has had enough and it just needs to switch off, am I right or am I right? I work in IT which is tedious at the best of times and health and safety rules state that you should have a ten minute break every two hours because of sitting in front of the screen, I have never done this in any of my jobs because I’ve never needed to as there have been moments where I can just go and chill out somewhere – but this job, I need it on occasions. So I picked up the paper for a quick skim through, my bosses boss (lets call him prick –it suits him) comes in and says “What are you doing reading the paper, have the time to do that during the day do you”

My insides are screaming “NO YOU FUCKING PRICK IM HAVING A BIT OF A BREAK” he spends all his days in meetings so has no clue about being stuck in front of a computer all day but as it’s a new job, I cant quite hit him yet.

Last Thursday it was 527pm (I finish at 530) I had opened the BBC website to catch up on the news and he comes behind me. He then said “Can I have a word” We walked out of the room and he moaned at me for being on the Internet in work hours! Again I am screaming I GO HOME IN THREE MINUTES but what can I do? He has also moaned about the clothes that I have been wearing??????? WHAT THE FUCK I always wear smart clothes yet because my trousers were beige and not black I got whinged at – it was the only hot day we have had this summer and I work in an office that isn’t air conditioned I am GOING to wear lighter trousers thankyou very much you prick!

The work itself is quite interesting, I am not answering the phones at the moment which is brilliant, it’s a nice break after talking to stupid people for the last ten years who ring up with such beauty’s as “Where’s the start button”? FUCK ME how long have you been using a computer? So not having to talk to idiots is a nice blessing and setting up a helpdesk is interesting it’s something that I will be able to take to future jobs.
I feel I need to get a little bit more involved but it’s alright, I am writing training procedures, 166 procedures to be precise and it’s a good learning curve.
However once that is done I think its going to be a bit dull and we will then move to an open plan office and I just KNOW that the bosses will be like meerkats, constantly popping their heads up from their desks checking what websites we’re on, or why we are not at our desk, its gonna be a frigging nightmare – so I’m already looking to leave! I want a career now rather than just another job, difficult thing is I only know IT so not quite sure where I can start but hopefully I’ll figure something out soon!

As for the rest of life, well, what can I say – I sold my flat the other day, two years after I bought it for a profit of 17 grand! That is NIIIIICCCCEEE, I was well pleased £128,000 now just got to find somewhere to move into and we’ll be on the second rung of the property ladder, the next place though has to be a 2 bed house which is proving quite difficult to come by. We saw 5 places 2 weekends ago, one of them was truly brilliant for the price and was going to be snapped up straight away – unfortunately for us it was L we were gutted about that, the second favourite has a chain which means it wont be sold until December –friggin December! Who says they are going to move out of their house and then decides it won’t be for another 5 months. So that’s basically that one out of the running and the other three all had various things wrong with them, the third one was OK but needed work doing to the kitchen and bathroom.

The other two, well, not even worth mentioning, one of them was shocking, I wonder what goes through peoples minds when they stick these places on the market. My flat looks SOOOO good, I had an offer on it 1 hour, ONE HOUR after the FIRST viewing, I had an improved offer 3 hours later and it sold. Bang. That’s how you sell a place – the place I viewed was dark, it had two computers in the sitting room which made it look cramped, it was themed like a Hollywood movie set, it had about a thousand videos on the landing upstairs making it look half the size it was, the main bedroom was painted dark blue, and I’m talking really dark, and the second bedroom was bright pink – which amazingly enough, was the best room in the house!

That house is still on the market………….

So we’re still hunting around I’m certain the right place is out there it’s just a matter of finding it and being patient. I’m not going to jump into the first house that becomes available, we have to think “WOW” when we walk in, I want the feeling we had the first time we walked into my current flat.

The only people who read this blog will know where I’m going next – have been so proud recently! My god the graduation ceremony was boring but for the fleeting seconds that Lindsay was on stage with about 2000 eyeballs on her and 2 cameras it was awesome, I’d never been to a graduation before and never expected it to be like the whole American hoopla that goes on but it was very special, very traditional and just seeing her in the gown and dodgy hat thingy was brilliant, she might have thought she looked stupid but I don’t think she could have looked any better that day, it was awesome. A strange way to spend a birthday admittedly but I didn’t care, I have a birthday every year – well, apart from next year, I’m not having one next year J

Lots else going on, football season is just round the corner again which is cool, have started pre-season training, its well weird in a way, I have always managed to bring players into my club on varying degrees of success, directly or indirectly I have been involved in Danny, Ben, Aaron, Phil Gasson, Alex, Paul J, Meths, John Morrison, Liam, Martin and Jason all signing for the team, this summer I have managed to acquire the services of potentially 6 new players, one of which is a goalkeeper which we are desperate for, I don’t know why but I find it really exciting when I can bring in so many new players, nobody else on the team can do that, I for some reason have a knack – I do wonder if there’s a career there somewhere, being a scout or a football agent, something like that? Hmmm, maybe that’s something I could look into! I wonder if I could do a course on being a football agent!! I am looking forward to the unveiling of the new players – I think my current team mates are going to be quite shocked by the calibre I have bought in! It does help being a referee though, I get to ref on Tuesday nights and see a lot of good players, the two I have approached from there both look like signing.

Ah yes, the reffing, while writing a big update might as well include that! Loving every minute of it, the Tuesday night thing, the games are half hour long, and there is four games a night, one of the teams last night finished their game at 9pm and they stuck around till 10pm (end of last game) to congratulate me on how well I was doing! That meant a lot to me, one of the guys who stuck around used to be semi-pro and is a fantastic player, he scored 7 of his teams 9 goals last night, he said that I get nearly every decision bang on, despite the whinging that goes on he likes the way it doesn’t phase me! I even carded a player last night (which in these 5-a-side rules means he has to leave the pitch for four minutes) and he congratulated me on getting the decision spot on!! That was weird, mostly because he’s a big scary fucker and you would think he’d want to hit me!!

So now its time for the rant, fucking suicide bombers, most countries have had a few of these evil scum infecting their society now but for some reason Britain seems to revel in it. I love the fact that the Glaswegians attacked one of the bombers after his car didn’t explode and I quote from the hero of the hour “We wanted him to know that this is Glasgow so we set about him, we all put a boot in, then we banjoed him” I have NO idea what ‘banjoing him’ means – I’m guessing its nothing to do with the film deliverance, but it sounds painful, why cant the police be more like that? Banjo some people who commit crime that would stop them (I think)!
Anyway – this bomber who got banjoed is now in an NHS hospital being cared for by our nurses, he is costing the country 5 grand a day to try and keep him alive? WHY? The fucker wanted to blow up an airport and kill dozens of innocent people! I say strap a bomb to him, stick him in an inflatable dinghy in the sea somewhere and set the fucker off. Why should we keep him alive? He WANTED to die and he WANTED to take lots of people with him so lets just give him what he WANTS, he has no motive on this planet, he has no reason to be alive now, he probably doesn’t even know that he is alive, so lets kill the fucker before he wakes up and gets given a chance to do it again.

And as for the others that are currently being held – stick them in the dinghy with him and see if they can diffuse the bomb before it goes off like the brave policeman did with the London bomb. I bet they couldn’t and BOOM just like that Britain would send out a message to terrorists that we are no longer an easy target, but no, the government think these scumbags actually have human rights, fucking useless idiots, they no longer have human rights, they tried to take away lives, therefore their privileges get taken away. Simple. End of story.

That will do for now, phew! Bit of a long one, but I’ve written it at work being as I cant access the internet……… whistles while he pretends to carry on working…….

Liverpool

For the 2nd time in 3 seasons Liverpool have reached the Champions League final. This post is just for Raw Thoughts really!

RT, trust me, get your boy in on this bandwagon, the champions league final is the biggest club competition in the world, it involves the greatest teams in Europe all competing for "ole Big Ears"

Especially working with Chelsea fans! Come on you red men 23rd May in Athens, here we come!!!

Woo-hoo! More money, closer to home and what looks like to be a more interesting role!!

Plus my new boss is a liverpool fan......... FINALLY get rid of all the chelsea scummers that surround me!

Too much food will kill you

Scientists in America have found that by cutting salt by a fifth from your diet will significantly decrease your chance of getting high blood pressure which will prevent serious heart attacks and stroke.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6570933.stm

Scientists have also been studying coffee, too much of that will be bad for your heart and will probably kill you due to a high cholesterol level

http://www.drinks-business-review.com/article_news.asp?guid=B5E6DA11-D060-4055-B174-D46F3FE0621F

There has also been a study into fast food, too much of it will kill you

http://media.www.newsrecord.org/media/storage/paper693/news/2004/04/22/Opinion/Reliance.On.Fast.Food.Will.Kill.You-690656.shtml

Also it has been noted that in some parts of the world because our oceans are effectively a large sewer then the fish you eat, will kill you

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10397302

Easter eggs, they’ll kill you too http://www.nowpublic.com/easter_eggs_can_kill_you

Red meat, well that causes cancer doesn’t it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/04/04/nmeat04.xml

Chicken – don’t even think about it, that has salmonella http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=UJDOFCE1OLSZ1QFIQMFSFFOAVCBQ0IV0?xml=/news/2007/04/04/nmeat104.xml

Some good news, chocolate wont kill you – but then it probably will
http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/the-good-news-is-chocolate-wont-kill-you-the-bad-news-is-it-will/2005/08/04/1123125851931.html

I’m sure you are all waiting to find out what the hell my point is! Well I heard on the radio this morning the top story (salt) and all I could think was, why the hell do scientists bother with this shit? Everything in moderation is fine! If you ate 20lbs of Steak a day, then yes, I would expect to die fairly quickly.

What I don’t understand is why there are scientists in this world who bother to waste their time on such trivial things, I hate to tell you this people but we are all going to die, if I die by eating chocolate then I will be very, very surprised. Why waste the money? What is the sodding point, I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t read the next thing that will kill you, nothing has been left out, coffee, red wine, tea, milk, cheese, chicken, eggs, fish, salt, sugar, SEX, too much sex will kill you????? Well, that’s the way I’d like to go!

Stop wasting vast amounts of money on working out which things are going to kill us, NOBODY CARES, yes we know TOO MUCH will kill us, but I would expect to die if I poured a packet of salt down my throat every day but I’m sensible enough not to do that, I know there are stupid people in this world but surely not that stupid? Find a cure for Aids instead, that’s a challenge, do it, do it now, spend some money on that for a change!

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!
