Just a brief break from usual posts to tell a nightmare story from my recent trip to London, out in London for the New Year Celebrations I had my wallet stolen in a pub. On noticing the theft I walk out and there standing on a corner was five PC's, your humble correspondent informed the sergeant that my wallet has been pinched and told him that if he did a quick search of the pub; it was a small pub; he would catch the offender. The Sergeant then told me that there had been a incident somewhere and he had to listen to the radio; if the incident has been close, yes, I could have understood, but it was not from my perspective! Thus while he talked, the other PC's just stood on the corner, any one who has seen the Real Hustle will know that once a wallet has been pinched the crooks pass it on, thus if they are nabbed no evidence. Thus five minutes later it was too late, the alleged suspect ( As no wallet and no CCTV the suspect has to be considered innocent and totally innocent for legal reasons ) came out but no wallet, the police took my name and contact info and then phone me at 8.30am to tell me they had nothing to go on, great surprise, I said that to the sergeant at 2.30am in the morning. If Met can walk in to Houses of Parliament and arrest an MP, they can ask the DJ to turn off the music of a small pub, lights on and ask everyone to take a line and show their wallets or bags, then search them as the leave, quick, efficient, and logical. The Mayor should ask the Met Chief what are tourists to make of London Police if they are that slow and show no backbone, they could have gotten my wallet back and caught themselves a gang of pick pockets, but I guess that is why Gene Hunt is popular with the public, he would have done that, a real old fashioned Copper. I am a great support of the police and the security services, but when I find that level of logic and backbone I want action, it was my wallet, it was not the money or the cards, it was the pictures and a rose petal form an old friend, thus very annoyed, with myself for not being secure but also with the MET police, yes they do a fine job in hard circumstances, but this was clear result that they let go, I guess if you’re an MP doing your job you get arrested or if your victim of theft the MET either do the wrong thing or nothing, COME BACK DICKON OF DOCK GREEN or GENE HUNT.

MET Police - London Police
Just a brief break from usual posts to tell a nightmare story from my recent trip to London, out in London for the New Year Celebrations I had my wallet stolen in a pub.

Death in Afghanistan
MOD: Reports that another British Soldier has died in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 33 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), Royal Engineers ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 245 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, in that total 212 have died in combat operations, while 33 have died due to illness, accidents or other incidents. This loss of a soldier happened on the 31 December 2009, one has to postulate there will be more deaths next year, as President Obama has set a 2011 deadline for his second surge in Afghanistan, the Taliban/Al Qaeda will make the effort to make any withdrawal after that date looked like surrender by Obama in the face to constant Taliban/Al Qaeda attack on US and NATO forces. Thus it can be argued that next year will be very bloody for Western forces in operational theatre.

Afghanistan Front News
MOD: Has released the name of the recent soldier killed in Afghanistan, the soldier was " Rifleman Aidan Howell of 3rd Battalion, The Rifles " Our thoughts are with the family of Rifleman Howell.
Yemen the New Afghanistan ?
CBS News: Reports that Yemen is fast becoming the new Afghanistan, a failed state that allows Al Qaeda to come back fighting, thus recent attempted Christmas Attack in the US. Lets not make the same mistake that we did in the 1990s, if Yemen is the new base for Al Qaeda, lets go in and clean house, as the article notes the US already has a presence in Yemen, but if Yemen is such a threat lets send in combat troops and clean house, lets now allow Yemen to become another Afghanistan.
Heavy Weight vs Light Weight = UK vs Iran
BBC News: Reports that the regime in Tehran has complained to the UK Ambassador about the critical comments coming out of London. It can be argued that the UK should follow the 19th Century example and send a gun boat with order to fire on some military structures in Iran, why is the West playing about with such a lightweight regime, one could push and its over, the Army will bolt once they see that its over, but the West has to push and push back hard, start to support a military opposition to the regime, close down their access to revenue and cut off oil to Iran. Lets bring this regime down now while they are weak, when your enemy is on the floor you give him a good boot to end it, then the people of Iran can be free and the West does not have to deal with War in the Middle East.
The HAMMER Falls Part Two
Guardian: Reports that the Tehran Regime has let down the hammer on its own people, after the protests of the last few days the regime is taking back the streets of Tehran and other cities. This could be the last chance for the people of Iran to gain their freedom, sometimes freedom is something you have to fight and die for, its a God given right, but the regime in Tehran is not Godly it is evil, if you try to politically correct they win, you have to show the regime for what it is, evil as was the USSR, as with the USSR the Islamic Republic of Iran needs to find the nearest dustbin and bin itself, then the people can make their own minds up as to what system they want, through free elections. As Reagan called out the USSR then Obama has to be as tough, he has been tougher but he needs to really support the people, no more appeasement, no more the idea of talks, finish the regime before it goes nuclear, do the world a favour Mr President, act like Reagan no Carter.
Iran Nuclear Power by 2011
Fox News: Reports from Israel that the Israeli Government has stated that Iran will have the technology to build a nuclear bomb by next year and have the bomb by 2011. If Israel is saying this in public what are they doing in private, will they allow Iran to develop the technology for a bomb or will they strike, will the wait for Obama to make up his mind, aka Afghanistan, ask Iraq and Syria if Israel waits for the US to give the green light. It can be postulated that Israel will take military action within the first six months of 2010. Will Israel risk that Iran is further ahead in its development, if your Israel would you wait folks. Would you trust Obama to back you in a tight corner, ask that question folks and see what answer comes to mind.
