Quite the crime wave in Port Stanley
And the latest crime report from the Falklands is in, and it makes for /shocking/ reading:
"At 1115hrs on Wednesday, 10 January 2007 the Royal Falkland Islands Police received a report that someone had caused damage to the decorative lights at the Public Jetty. Someone had removed several bulbs and smashed them. The incident is under investigation and anyone with information on this incident can call Sergeant Roberts..."
"At 2107hrs on Friday, 12 January 2007 the Royal Falkland Islands Police received a report of a person urinating outside Deanos Bar. Police attended and the person was spoken to about his behaviour. A taxi was called and Officers assisted the person into the vehicle".
And that's just the heavyweight stuff.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
One hopes the Royal Falkland Islands Police realise they have to tread lightly in cracking down on this unacceptable behaviour. If they upset part of the community they will be forced to wear a new uniform and be renamed the Police Service of Falkland Islands...
All too likely. I rather envy the Falkland Islanders that when they contact the police things actually get done.
I've just been reading the reports of the trial of the 21 July unsuccessful tube bombers. In the Falklands, urinating in public and smashing light bulbs. In Britain, garbage immigrants trying to kill hundreds of innocent people in the service of a primitive, alien diety who approves of this kind of thing.
Blair's Britain. God I hate that man with all my heart.
Are you sure this was the Falkland Islands and not Craggy Island?
Yup, I'm sure. Feel free to follow the link, where you will see that I have only abstracted the more salacious stuff.
Didn`t "OUR" troops refer to them as Benny`s. I think he was someone on Cross Roads of oafish aspect. Goodness its a long time since we`ve spanked a foreign rabble like children isn`t it .
I have always thought that Blair really went so gung ho on Iraq because he saw how popular winning a war made you and they weren`t likely to lose...
No idea what is happening to my posts at the mo. Sorry
N - Yup, that's exactly what the grunts used to, maybe still do, call the locals.
Blair went into Iraq for the same reason he went into Kosovo: he wants to be a war leader, like Margaret Thatcher. But Lady Thatcher was fighting for British interests and British territory. Blair's just in any old war,just so long as it's a war.
David Millipede has a piece in today's Telegraph editorial pages, and the amount of vitriol that has poured out of readers on "Comment on this article" at the bottom of the piece is quite heartwarming. Out of, at a guess, 60 or so comments, I think two agreed with Millipede and everyone else has taken the opportunity to mention how much they loathe the socialists and Tony Blair. Millipede must be wetting his knickers if he thought people were going to admire his piece.
I took the opportunity to say how much I despise Blair and his greedy wife.
Verity, the man requires an exorcism. On the up side, TB’s immense ignorance of foreign policy and war-making has been his downfall. The Blair mantra that Britain’s role in the world is nothing if it’s not America’s "best friend" always and everywhere...is just pathetic. Iraq has crippled TB since 2003. He achieved precious little before Iraq....he's done nothing of note since. And militarily, no matter what point you start from, Iraq has been anything but a success. Earlier Blairista interventions such as those in Sierra Leone and Kosovo have largely been forgotten. Enough said.
Stamboul Tory - The Americans have a more realistic take on the "special relationship" than does Tony in his swoony dreams. The "special relationship" really only exists in the minds of some British politicians. Americans will always, quite rightly, put their own interests first.
Also, this delusion is based on ignorance. Italian-Americans, black Americans, Jewish Americans, Chinese Americans, Mexican Americans - well, you get the idea - don't give a monkey crap about Britain and would not like to see their country put its interests second to ours. They like us, in a vague kind of way, because we speak the same language and are thus easy to communicate with - but Americans are not particularly Anglophile.
The vitriol level that is directed at him under the Millipede article is quite invigorating.
Did anyone else watch the hilarious play last night on (British) TV: 'The Trial of Tony Blair'? A bitter, newly-elected Gordon Brown gets his own back on TB for spinning out his current term to the eve of a GE in 2010, in which Labour get a paltry majority of 2, by handing TB over to a Hague War Crimes Trial on a platter.... President Hilary Clinton also stands by to watch him crash and burn......if only! Matrix Chambers act for the prosecution!! O! And Cherie removes all the lightbulbs from No. 10 before moving out....
Millipede's Torygraph article was, of course, a wretched attempt at ingratiating himself with Big Gordo before the "hand over" of power. The slimey wee bugger.And the article itself was laden with trite psycho-babble, sophistry and empty sloganeering.
But the comments section was a pure blast of hatred at NuLab. I particularly appreciated Verity's 3:27 comment. Alas, it holds true for me as well.
....and has anyone told John Reid.... Port Stanley nick can expect a few stiff emails any day now setting ASBO targets..... we must be inclusive, mustn't we?
I rather enjoyed V's fussilade at the odious Owl Magnet. I appreciate that newspapers owe it to their readers to offer a plurality of opinions, but articles 'by' Labour MPs in what I think of as safe havens like the 'graph and the Spectator really get under my fingernails.
And why oh why did I forget to watch that prog last night?
Stamboul Tory - Shukran. Strange, though, his article appears to have been removed from the editorial page and the dreadful sleeping pill Christine Odone has made an appearance.
Could someone else please check, in case it's something to do with my computer, which was running a bit odd earlier? Millipede's frothy piece, with its Noel Cowardish wit and Gore Videlesque elegance of style and breadth of reference, appears to have completely gone away.
Could someone please check and let me know if it's still up? Thank you.
Correction - I've just seen that it's on the front page, but not the editorial page.
Does anyone actually read Christine O'Drone?
I might have read Odone once or twice, but only in extremis - I was stuck in a lift or somesuch. The greatest challenge in journalism is reading an entire Peter Riddell article. He is an absolute crasher.
I would agree. Also Craig someone who is so boring I lose the will to live before I've got to his surname.
Peter Oborne is my fav journalist to hate, clown actually seems to belive that most politicians are decent well meaning people.
Mr istanbul
What are the firearms laws like in turkey ?, i have heard good things
"The greatest challenge in journalism is reading an entire Peter Riddell article."
I nominate William Rees-Mogg, with W. F. Deedes close behind on the stand side.
Hitch,
You hear right. Gun control laws are extremely relaxed. A licence is required to carry a gun in Turkey. But its not difficult to get one- fill in a few forms and voila. Purchasing a gun in the country is also easy legally (or illegally -very competitive rates I hear). The Turkish police estimate that there are 10 million unregistered guns in this country. There is a flood of weaponry coming in from Iraq...
Oh and I forgot to say that there are believed to be at least eight million registered guns in Turkey, a country of 70 million people.
The turks happen to make some decent shotguns, they also now make all Webley airguns.
Iraq is the classic example of why it is impossible to inavde and enslave a county of riflemen ,same with afghanistan.
odd that the supposedly hated Saddam allowed his people to keep an AK47 in the wardrobe but Blair and his ilk dont trust us with a 22 pistol.
I can take Rees-Mogg in small doses, but I do actually enjoy Deedes, and not just becasue he has become a Living National Treasure.
I like both Rees-Mogg and Deedes. They both have clarity of thought and felicity of expression, IMHO.
Dear Verity
You have never had a
"humble opinion" in your life.
Long may it continue (+:
