Lets be honest... He is my kind of Scumm

A "Facebook" group called LETS GO HUNTING has taken the media by storm after securing SEVEN arrests of suspected paedos.

The secret group is formed of three dads and a mum who do not feel enough is being done to counter the problem of grooming over the internet so pose as children and arrange to meet the potential perverts before catching them on video camera and exposing the truth before handing their discoveries to police.

With tip-offs in Leicsetershire, Warwickshire and Birmingham, the group has already shown it can achieve a great deal. All of the groups members are known martial arts experts though their identies are a closely guarded secret.

The group leader, who calls himself Scumm Buster, has been quoted as saying "We want to protect our children from Paedophiles, we're coming for you".

Personally, I LOVE IT! Scumm Buster may not be the first to take this kind of stand, but the more that do the better. Sadly my point of view is not shared by the Police.

Warwickshire Police have said "It could compromise investigations, spark and abuser to harm a child or themselves and could be breaking the law".

So what do the police think should be done then? Well, We should be fair shouldn't we...

In the very same issue of the SAME NEWSPAPER, Warwickshire Constabulary has been condemned as one of the SOFTEST FIVE COUNTIES on offenders in the UK. Just 1.5% of offenders that are convicted will serve a prison sentence. Compare and contrast South Wales who will hand down custodial Sentences on 4.6% making them 5th hardest force in the UK.

How do the police expect to be taken seriously when there is such a postcode lottery as to how crimes are handled and punishments handed out? Not that dealing with paedophiles will ever be easy.

Statistics suggest that in the UK alone, there are over 30,000,000 members - This is including criminals as well who, despite the best efforts of the security services manage to get online via smuggled mobile phones, let alone any number of potential perverts out there.

No matter how good a job CEOP tries to do or the police, there is no way in the world that they can manage to investigate and prevent any kind of grooming alone. Even with the proposals that were powered through by the US government for the controversial CISPA program are only going to be able to cover the most "serious" issues... There are billions of emails sent each day, How are you supposed to investigate every single one? It near impossible.

People like Scumm Buster and his team are essential to keeping the world a safer place, and they have got things just right as well. They investigate and hand over all the proof to police. They do not act like Vigialantes and go on the all out attack as many people would like to do, They get the evidence and arm the appropriate people to minimize risk.

Instead of condemning Scumm, You should be giving him and his team a bloody medal!

We are about Justice... NOT JUDGE AND JURY!

A lot of stories have made headlines this week, from the tragedy in Suffolk of a young mum feeling so depressed she not only took her own life but that of three children, onto the news that television favourite, Rolf Harris, had been arrested in relation to sexual abuse allegations.

I was horrified when I heard about the Lowestoft suicide, not least because I used to live there, but also because I did know the family involved even if it was just through passing.

Needless to say it was not long before "friends" of the victim were talking to the Media to condemn social services and the police for not acting sooner. One quote from a member of the public even suggested that the police had seen Fiona Anderson walking into the city centre gripping a teddy bear and demanded to know why they had done nothing.

It all sounds very horrifying, but due to the deaths of the children being treated as suspicious - The truth will take a while to be heard.

Then on Thursday came the news about Rolf Harris, Once again an arrest not related to but stemming from Operation: Yewtree - The Jimmy Saville investigation.

And already there are many calls across the internet for the 86 year old entertainer to be strung up...

I find for once I am in a very strange position, especially with regards to the Suicide in Lowestoft - As I am actually DEFENDING Social Services! How did I come to this position?

If you do not live in the Suffolk area, you may not have seen the local media reports nor the people who claim to have been the victims friends, but I do know them well - And though I am not saying they are lying, I am a little concerned as to how quickly they shot forward to get their views across when even the father of the victims had maintained a dignified silence.

More or less just 12 hours after Miss Anderson had died, Suffolk County Council were under "Trial by Media" and the children were forgotten as the public tried to find someone to blame.

While I do have very serious concerns and can and will pick issues with Suffolk County Council, I feel this is just abysmal behavior, but it is not limited there...

From Michael Le Vell of Coronation Street to Dave Lee Travis, and now Rolf Harris, there seems to be an all out effort to become the "Executioners" for our country.

This beahvior is getting very worrying to me, we seem to be striding towards an anarchic state and that is not the kind of world I want my children to be growing up in. Yes, we should be worried as there is clear evidence now that there were people at the Bleeding Bodge-Up Company (BBC) that KNEW for YEARS what Saville was up to... This is indefensible.

But that does NOT give us the right to become Judge and Jury until all the information is heard.

Le Vell, Travis and Harris should be presumed "innocent until proven guilty" - We must stop these wretched hate campaigns that are polluting the internet until we know otherwise. Why? Because if we do not stop this - Then we have NO CAMPAIGN!

I have already been approached by families who claim to have lost their children to the state because of false information or misrepresentation by social services, and we treat each case with that merit of "evidence" - I am more than willing to work with my team of experts to ensure every case has been investigated correctly.

We have had people come forward who have had children taken from them because they are considered to be a "High Potential risk" who protest their innocence over and over and shout that they have been unfairly treated.

And for many, we do agree... But then these same people go online and start demanding that men/women who have not actually been convicted of any crime be "dealt with" - Excuse me? IF YOU WANT THE WORLD TO SEE YOU HAVE BEEN TREATED UNJUST - THEN STAND FOR JUSTICE YOURSELVES!

If we allow ourselves to become "Trail by Media" then we become as corrupt as the system we are standing against... Think about it!

Until the truth is heard, we must keep our opinions in a safe place...

Just Cause the Mrs. T Virus has gone... Does not mean we are safe.

Baroness Margret Thatcher has died, and I for one will not be shedding any tears.

But at the same time I am horrified and sickened by the way so many so called protesters have acted since her passing. The blatant bloody vandalism in Brixton was not a protest, it was plain simple "Hooliganism".

But what really annoys me even more is this... Yes she was a bloody nightmare! She screwed up so much of this country and we are still suffering her legacy, but lets face facts for a moment.

Among the mourners going to her Funeral is Former Prime Minister, Tony Blair... Hang on a minute?

Labour are supposed to be the party of the people, so WHY is he GOING?

While everyone is celebrating her passing and having a good old knees up we are missing the most fundamental tragedy of her reign, Her sick ways have corrupted the entire Political System. Labour are not Labour any more... You may as well call em the Conservatives Mk. II.

Thatcher may have been an arrogant, sick, elitist scumbag, but she was at least one of the LAST real politicians we ever had. Labour's last good leader died before he could lead them to victory, Paddy Ashdown - A damn fine Liberal Leader was ousted for being human... With Maggie gone, There are no genuine ones left.

Thatcher may have screwed us over, but at least she had the dignity to do it to our faces and say "Get over it!"

Now, they all hide behind spin doctors and rhetoric, and while we are all having a damn big party they will be slipping in the next steps to seel the country off to teh next bloody bidder who wants to buy us out.

Celebrate if you want to... But don't say I did not warn you, Take your eye off the ball and the Cancer she left behind will destroy our country.

Popping out for benefits... A shameful state!

So jobless mum of 10 children Iona Heaton, 44, wants another baby after her benefits were cut.

You can already guess I do not agree with this in any way shape or form... But what make it even worse is she is hoping to get pregnant via IVF paid for by the ever generous British taxpayer. How Nice!

Her husband is not sure about having another baby but she is determined to twist his bollocks talk him around in to agreeing. In total her monthly benefits budget after the cuts is £1,800 and with the children it would be unfair to dispute that especially as one has epilepsy and receives disability benefits which is fair.

But you have to ask HOW she manages to give these children the amount of time and devotion they really deserve? It was hard enough for me as a father of two children and working. My wife at the time found juggling their needs was a struggle so how does a parent cope with 10?

Before I was made redundant in 2003, I would work up to 13 hours a day to provide for my family and did not receive many of the benefits I should rightfully have claimed. I never once complained or blamed anyone else and we defiantly never considered having another baby just to try and boost our income.

In 2004, I took over full time care of the two children and while we had social services involvement I had some major hurdles to cross that should make this woman feel truly ashamed and the Social Services as well.

My Wife had left me with the children but she was STILL claiming the Child benefit, Child tax credit and Income Support for another 6 weeks after she left... I asked for help trying to get the right money that should have been coming to me and the children, but was greeted with "Take her bank card off her" - Some nice Social Services advice there.

So for 6 weeks I struggled and succeeded to provide for both the children and myself on just £70 a week... Job Seekers Allowance. Even after the 6 weeks were up it was another 4 weeks before I finally got the money that was due.

And herein lies my entire point... Social Services took my children from me after leaving me in a precarious situation but IGNORE the benefit scrounging ilk like Heaton who basically are only having kids to have a free ride! Its sickening!

I know that this government has got things very seriously wrong with its benefit reforms, but here is a very straight fact that many will not like. I managed... 2 Children and myself - We did OK... It was not a life, god knows no family should be expected to live on just £70 a week... But the sad truth is that our benefits culture is paying far too much to people and serious reform needs to be made, but not hitting those who want to work or improve the lives of those they care about, but these feckless, idle, baby machines that think they have some god given right to pop out children to fund their own lavish lifestyles.

OK! There is no proof she has some kind of lavish lifestyle... But i bet you if you walked into her home you would find a PC, maybe a Ipad or two, A games console, flat screen TV... I guarantee it!

I had none of that for my kids, we made do with what we could afford... This is where our society has got it wrong and our politicians need to pull their heads out of their backsides and deal with it!
