Not Again!!Blackburn is not safe at night !!
Don't get me wrong there is nobody with a bigger hang up on Blackburn than me but, it ain't just Blackburn.
in every community we have mindless, moronic and waste of space individuals who call themselves "human beings", the words scum, trash and garbage come to mind and should be dealt with as such.
We live in a society of do gooders, a society where the Justice system continually looks for the best in the worst of people and administer soft justice accordingly, with sometimes an holiday as recompense for society putting them in these compromising situations.
That's my moan for the weekend done

I quite like the Saudi justice system, although perhaps not as brutal.

I agree our judicial system needs a serious looking at and things should be more of a deterrent than a stay in one of her majesties holiday camps, but let’s face it, following some barbaric culture isn’t really the answer is it?

Now, if we deployed this method what would be the cost per individual - 1 x syringe, 1 x lethal dose, 1 x cremation/burial, wages for personell plus admin! Thats it, one off capital expenditure!!

No more welfare costs, housing costs, police costs, detention/jail costs, hospital admissions for these individuals! Simples :-)

Blackbuuuuuuuurn a wonderfull place to live,a dump of a town and no mistake.
Mass immigration, at the behest of a lunatic left wing minority, totally unnecessary to support a dying industry.
Deluded fools, expecting some form of easy social integration, which because of the unpleasant religion of the newcomers, was destined to failure.
