There’s been a number of recent news articles about military pensions (or lack of) for ex-servicemen.
The problem with this is it raises a very emotional argument regarding those who “served their country” and those who did not.
Without belittling the role and commitment of our military personnel, I think someone who has worked all their life and paid taxes has “served their country” as much as someone who spent 5 years of their youth getting arseholed and picking fights in Catterick, and has as much right to demand a reasonable pension, even if they have never worn a uniform. Unlike the young princes William and harry who appear to have worn most military uniforms currently available, in addition to ones from the Third Reich.
It’s different for those who have actually served in a distinctly unpleasant environment (whether it was WWII,
Not sure how we’d work it out who is owed how though. On reflection, the best idea I can come up is to have some kind of pro-rata system that took into account how many Germans you had killed.
I would suggest an extra stipend of £25 per week, per enemy casualty. In order to make it fair and to prevent fraud each veteran will have to present the DHSS with the left ear(s) of each German.
In other news I’m also slightly concerned that nearly 120 extremely dangerous lunatics escaped from custody last year. That’s one every few days isn’t it? Quite alarming-it’s a good job we were warned about it when it happened otherwise who knows what might have happened?? These aren’t common or garden lunatics either-these are proper "Silence of the Lambs" type batshit psycho crazy lunatics.

I’m going to sound like the Daily Mail again, but perhaps there’s an argument that says “If over the period of less than 10 years someone murders their baby brother, then cuts their hand off, then shows no remorse, then amasses a huge collection of pornography and violent films, then propositions female staff, then subsequently escapes and then rapes a 14 year old girl at knifepoint, then perhaps “therapy” might not be the most appropriate solution for the individual in question?”
I might go as far as to say “After 10 years, it really isn’t fucking working is it?” AND they didn’t even try to remove bits of his brain for Christ’s sake-what has happened to modern psychotherapy? In my day, we’d have had most of his prefrontal cortex in a jar before you could say “Jack Robinson”.
Similarly, (from the same article) taking paedophiles out for a weekly drink for no their reason than “because it’s nice for them to get out” seems like it could be a potentially foolish idea, particularly when it transpires they subsequently escape when you take them to the fucking zoo.
It’s nice to see the institutions in question are concerned about this, although they have said in their defence that it’s because they are “dealing with complex people” (not really-they seem quite straightforward to me) who have “autistic spectrum disorders” (a bit above and beyond being a trainspotter isn’t it?) and their “primary aim is therapeutic, to help people grow in their independence” (and make a successful escape).
How about that for a lot of completely politically correct bollocks? As a mission statement I think it needs some work, something along the lines of “We will keep all our maniacs under lock and key at all times” would be considerably more reassuring.
Surely it can only be a matter of time until medical science accepts my ideas (controversial though they are) that these kind of psychological aberrations are not caused by traumatic experiences, or chemical imbalances or any of that bollocks but instead by devils, demons and evil imps that must be scourged, whipped and forced from them into the incandescent fires of a righteous and just God.
Finally, I’m not sure what the hell this person’s state’s motto is:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/the whole damn country is "deliverance"
But I’m fairly sure it’s something similar to: “Proud to be backward” or “Don’t let the sun set on you this town, Jew-boy Nigger lovin’ faggot”
