POPS Draconian drug tests The new welfare reform bill gives unprecedented new powers to Jobcentre staff There are further concerns about rights and liberties. For the first time Jobcentres will be able to share information with the police, the probation service and "others" to check the "accuracy" of information provided by the claimant. This could include information about drug-testing on arrest, court orders and sentencing and substance-related treatment received in prison or the community. While the bill protects against evidence acquired by Jobcentres being used in criminal proceedings against the claimant, the information sharing is two-way with no obvious barrier preventing the police using the information to prompt or inform a line of inquiry or criminal investigation.

POPSGuilty or innocent ... let him have his day in court... House arrest by any other name undermines our moral high ground and the liberty of all. Wire tap evidence and evidence submitted in camera, as a final resort, must be used to demonstrate that our system is preferable to Sharia beheading etc

POPSDisabled woman victorious in UK assisted suicide case More: Although the judgment does not guarantee Puente or anyone else immunity if they help someone end another person's life, opponents of the practice say the ruling effectively invites authorities to say there are some instances in which they will not prosecute those who help others kill themselves. While dozens of people from Britain have reportedly traveled to Switzerland to end their lives, no one has been prosecuted for helping them travel there. In one recent high-profile case, the parents of a 23-year-old partially paralyzed rugby player was spared prosecution — even though Starmer said there was enough evidence to charge them with taking their son abroad to help him kill himself. Aiding or abetting suicide carries a maximum jail term of 14 years but the law is rarely enforced. Prosecutors have previously said that they will file charges only when it is in the public interest without going into details.

POPSIts a family affair... Neil Kinnock the Welsh firebrand who said he would never take a peerage - both he and his wife are now peers, 6 pensions from the public purse and jobs for the family one in a quango and the other in No. 10 with his mate Brown... unfortunately all too predictable

POPSBlackburn Peer deep in the trough. At a time when former Blackburn landlord, Andy Miller, was meeting an ignominious death, the Peer from Blackburn was destroying the last vestiges of moral fibre in Lancashire. Whilst Andy's family wait the outcome of a strange internal investigation into the Courts’ involvement in his death, the Labour administration shows all the attitude of fiefdom in delaying the report. Why? What is so embarrassing that the investigator denied the main witnesses legal representation? Not that there is any suggestion of impropriety on the family’s behalf, but because for the truth to out there has to be fairness and equity. Neither has been permitted to the innocent and naive witnesses to this tragic and unnecessary harassment of an aging, unwell man. Whilst Labour sink into the abyss of self destruct arrogance, a decent Lancashire family have been left like mushrooms.

POPSPreserving ‘Harmony’ for Islamic Radicals In United Kingdom In 2004, British authorities insisted that the Bush administration return to the U.K. all Britons who, having been captured fighting with the enemy in Afghanistan and elsewhere, were held at Guantanamo Bay. After President Bush acceded, the former detainees were promptly released. Not content with that, the Brits proceeded to demand that non-British detainees be shipped to England from Gitmo if they had any basis to claim legal U.K. residence. Despite the Pentagon’s protestations that these detainees were extremely dangerous, the Bush administration again relented. As night follows day, in late 2007, British authorities set the suspected terrorists free.

POPSBanned for racial incitement
How can this man be charged with simply seeking the truth? Do not the sentiments of the New Brunswick housewife resonate through this once great nation? No. The lilly livered political elite are showing their true colours. Did not labour take us into a universal war against international terrorism, but tied the hands of our soldiers behind their backs, blindfolded the intelligence people and armed them with nothing more than Bibles and shrouds. Three thousand men women and children were burned to death on 9/11. Was that a great act of mass suicide or mass murder by Muslim fanatics? Answers please on an email to Jaqui Smith if she can get away from fiddling her expense claims or puffing on a spliff. You who vote this evil wind are now reaping your evil whirlwind. Contrary to what that sycophant Foreign Minister Milliband may say, Geert Wilders does not seem to be contravening British law, but it is the government and all their Jackals which are definitely bringing our institut

POPSGreat Terror Plot Building in UK (to Coerce Legislation) Do you recognize this pattern? Timing is everything, isn't it? How convenient for legislative purposes to motive the "necessity" of draconian laws, which Parliament just rejected, and now must be punished for to change their minds. The stunning speech came after the Government failed to extend the powers of special terrorism laws. This is right out of the BF Skinner psychological model of stimulus-response training, a form of training any animal to even torture indoctrination, using threats or rewards. The US might have something like this announced too before the Nov elections, as usual, since the Economy has trumped the usual "terrorism" and "national insecurity" issue that worked so well for Bush. (Bin Laden always makes a pre-Halloween video tape which SITE conveniently finds and the MSM parrots for headlines on Drudge). Fear is a powerful weapon to obtain "consent" to reduce liberties.

POPS‘Hook’ Imam Denied Extradition Appeal: To Stand Trial In U.S. They also say he assisted extremists who kidnapped 16 foreign tourists in Yemen in 1998. Three British tourists and one Australian visitor were killed in a shootout between Yemeni security forces and the captors. Al-Masri also is accused of facilitating terrorist training in Afghanistan. The former imam at London’s Finsbury Park Mosque, al-Masri is one of Britain’s best-known Islamist radicals. The Egyptian-born preacher is blind in one eye and has hooks in place of the hands he says he lost fighting Soviet troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Under his leadership the Finsbury Park mosque became a magnet for extremists. Its worshippers included Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and “shoe bomber” Richard Reid.
