And So The Deed Is Done...

Yesterday saw the culmination of many months of work, (very much on Naomi's part) as we celebrated our wedding, surrounded by the most amazing friends any couple could possibly hope for.

It truly was one of the most amazing days of my life.

Thank you all so very much, Naomi and I love you all, the only down side to going away together for a wonderful month, will be not being with you all for that time.

We would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, we feel extremely honoured to know every one of you.

Thank you.

Justice Saudi Style....

Saudi gang-rape victim is jailed
By Frances Harrison
BBC News

An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7096814.stm For full story......

Just how long will the UK and other western nations continue to treat Saudi Arabia as an equal, pander to its whims and ‘idiosyncrasies’ and keep their collective heads in the sand just to protect the oil industry?

Saudi Arabia is a barbaric society that allows acts of evil to be continually perpetrated in the name of its sickeningly inhumane legal system. It perpetuates brutality and intolerance, is violently misogynistic, and is one of the most barren nations on this earth when it comes to justice.

Distressing stories such as the one above rarely get the response, from our government that they deserve. I’m thinking we may be stationing troops in the wrong country in that part of the world at the moment.

If any nation was deserving of the violent imposition of ‘democracy’ that seems to have become our current favoured methodology, Saudi Arabia must be top of the list.

Death And Dishonour.......

Police censured over Menezes case
London's Metropolitan Police made serious and avoidable errors in killing an innocent man, a watchdog says.
An Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report highlights what it says were failures in procedures and communication.

And it says Commissioner Sir Ian Blair tried to prevent its investigation.
Sir Ian has again rejected calls for his resignation.

So the only man in the country in a position to take responsibility for this execution style killing, will not only face no sanction for this atrocity, he doesn't even have the decency to resign from his job.

Top that off with the weasel like politicians who are actually defending his position and you get a picture of the sort of arrogant, selfish, thoughtless individuals who have positions of power over the people of this country and will do anything to hang on to them. Gone are the days of anyone resigning honourably when they have failed in their duty it seems.

Isn’t it ironic that Ian Blair has the title ‘Sir’?

A title meant to embody a spirit of honour and chivalry, attached to a name that will forever be associated by many, with a man who is no longer deserving of credibility or respect.

How proud officers in the Metropolitan police must be to serve under such a noble leader.

And how comfortably must the population of London now sleep at nights to have this man responsible for their safety.

Suffer The Little Children....

The right to die for Jehovah

By Clare Murphy

Health reporter, BBC News

A young Jehovah's Witness has died just hours after giving birth to twins. She had signed a form refusing blood transfusions, and her family would not overrule her. Couldn't doctors have intervened?

Once again the selfish nature of religious belief becomes apparent, as these two young babies are subjected to a life without a mother because of her selfish and misplaced loyalties to a blind and baseless doctrine.

According to reports, the children’s father, Anthony Gough is now looking after them. I hope he has sense enough to now realise the selfishness of these beliefs, and not compound these children’s harm at the loss of a mother, by then indoctrinating them in the same worthless faith that has led to this situation.
