Not Much Room in Here

A man who returned to his house in Southfields, Northampton on the 7th December last year because he forgot his wallet found a homeless Romanian couple and their child had moved in. The victim, who lives in a two bedroom house in Southfields, Northampton, discovered Mihai and Laura Dediu moving his belongings. Judge Richard Bray sentenced the pair to 12-month orders and 100 hours unpaid work saying that it appeared the country was going back to Dickensian times. The Romanian couple, now of Great Gull Crescent, Southfields, who do not speak English, told police through an interpreter they thought the house had been empty for some time and they could squat there. Seeing as neither speak English, it is questionable that they should be in the country at all. Although Romania is in the EU there are restrictions on Romanians coming to the UK.

Pete Doherty Arrested in Connection with Northants Heiress Death

Anti BNP campaigner and ‘Musician’ Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs following the death of Robin Whitehead, 27, from Pytchely. The body of Miss Whitehead, granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine, was discovered at a flat in Hackney, east London, on January 24 after paramedics answered a 999 call. Doherty, a ‘friend’ of Miss Whitehead, said he was “shocked and saddened” following her death. With friends like Doherty, who needs enemies? Why is Doherty free to wander the streets? The man, and I use the word loosely, has shown time and time again that he is a liability to himself and others and should be locked up for his safety and ours.

Health and Safety Gone Mad

Northants Police have to undergo ten hours of health and safety training before they can use push bikes. Plans to bring back police officers on Mountain bikes in the Kingsley and Parklands area of Northampton have now had to be put back to Summer because of the training.  Last year, a group of cycling police officers from across England, Wales and Northern Ireland received national ridicule after drawing up a 93-page guide on how to ride a bike. The document told officers how to balance, brake and turn safely as well as suggesting they wore padded shorts to protect their bottoms. Northamptonshire Police has not said if any similar advice is given in its training sessions.

Lying Pondlife Strike Again

One group of anti-BNP campaigners in the county appear have whipped themselves into a frenzy because one of them, or possibly a friend, received a leaflet. In their blind hate for us, they are incapable of seeing their own idiocy. They say that it “Seems the local BNP wasted their time delivering their General Election leaflets around the town.” before moaning that it did not mention the candidate or the General election. Could this be because they missed the ‘bleeding obvious’, it is not a General election leaflet, it is a general warm -up leaflet. They then go on to say that the black and white insert contained a “photo of the American family the BNP claim as the ‘real face of BNP’”. I am sure Nick Cass, a proud Yorkshireman, and his family would not take too kindly to being described as American. This just goes to show that these idiots do not know which photos are what and just blindly copy whatever is on their Searchlight list of mistruths about the BNP. They then say that “the publisher seemed to forget to put ANYTHING other than ‘race’ on their propaganda”. What these idiots cannot seem to grasp is the difference between ‘race’ and ‘immigration’. The leaflets do not mention race at all, they do mention immigration. We know through the number of enquiries and comments we have received, that more and more people are agreeing with us.

Dutch among lowest cannabis users in Europe-report

cannabis - marijuana  usage reportThe annual report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction was published late last year, so while it´s not exactly ´hot off the presses´ news, the study´s findings and conclusions are well worth mentioning.

The Dutch are among the lowest users of marijuana or cannabis in Europe despite the Netherlands’ well-known tolerance of the drug, according to a regional study published.  Among adults in the Netherlands, 5.4 percent used cannabis, compared with the European average of 6.8 percent, according to an annual report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, using latest available figures.

A higher percentage of adults in Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and France took cannabis last year, the EU agency said, with the highest being Italy at 14.6 percent. Usage in Italy used to be among the lowest at below 10 percent a decade ago.

Countries with the lowest usage rates, according to the Lisbon-based agency, were Romania, Malta, Greece and Bulgaria.

Cannabis use in Europe rose steadily during the 90s and earlier this decade, but has recently stabilised and is beginning to show signs of decline, the agency said, owing to several national campaigns to curb and treat use of the drug.

“Data from general population and school surveys point to a stabilising or even decreasing situation,” the report said.
