Despite being educated in Britain Choudhry had not attended the trial as she refused to accept the jurisdiction of the court.

After the sentence was passed, a group of men began shouting in the public gallery ‘Allahu akbar’ (‘God is great’), ‘British go to hell’ and ‘Curse the judge’. A demonstration was also taking place outside the court.

While I am all for free speech why do we allow these despicable racially motivated anti British yobs any freedom at all when they clearly hate everything about our country.

It is these very same people that are responsible for the hate that has built up in some parts of the UK toward Muslims over the last decade.

The court heard that a draft letter to her mother found on Choudhry’s computer said she hated living in Britain and did not want to spend the rest of her life in a non-Muslim country.

The evil thug had previously threatened and harassed the young woman who had then reported the incidents to the police but was told no action could be taken.

The jealous lover had been asked to marry Movahedi a number of times previously but she had refused and he then went on to threaten to kill her.

While Bahrami, who was an electronics graduate at the time of the attack, sensed that she was being followed and quickened her pace only for Movahedi to catch up and step in front of her where he then threw the acid at her face.

The evil man claimed that he decided to attack her when she told him she had married someone else and asked him to leave her alone.

Movahedi told the court,

“I decided to splash acid on her face so her husband would leave her and I could have her.”

When asked if he would still be prepared to marry Bahrami, despite her injuries, he replied,

“Yes, I love her”

This poor woman has so far undergone seventeen operations in an unsuccessful attempt to reconstruct her face.  She lost one eye and is totally blind in the other.

When testifying at the hearing, she told the court that she wanted,

“to inflict the same life on him that he inflicted on me”

She was asked if she wanted Movahedi’s face splashed with acid, she replied,

“That is impossible and horrific.  Just drop 20 drops of acid in his eyes so he can realise the pain i am undergoing”.

Under Iran’s sharia law (an eye for an eye), Movahedi, has now been sentenced to the punishment, he will be blinded in both eyes from drops of acid.

Maybe if the same punishment’s were handed out to other mindless thugs around the UK, they would think twice about the pain and destruction caused.

In fact, Tehran’s deputy public prosecutor, Mahmoud Salarkia, stated that,

“Awareness of the punishment has a huge deterrent effect in stopping social crimes”.

Travellers Should Travel

Today it was reported that the travellers evicted from the site of the London Olympics, have had six three-bedroom houses built for them on a gated development in East London, paid for of course by the taxpayer.

Each home also includes a large garden and a driveway big enough to take a caravan which has enraged local residents who feel that the gypsies are being given special treatment.

A spokesman for the new site confirmed that 450 residents needed to be relocated from the site which included the gypsy families, who he claims will be charged rent for the property and a charge to keep a caravan on their drive.  The rent has been allegedly set at the ridiculous price of £104.66 per week and £91.23 for the parked caravan.

The traveller families involved had already lost a High Court battle against their eviction from the council-owned site in Hackney Wick, shortly afterwards the work began on the new houses.

Surely, travellers, as the name suggests, should be travelling.  They lost their court case against eviction and then they are rewarded with a new home, that’s after the tax payer has already paid for court fees no doubt!

Surely they only need the driveway as that is where the caravan is too be parked so they could rent out the house to people that really do need some help, like the thousands of hard-workers out there that struggle to make ends meet.

Rest In Peace

A Royal Marine captain, Bill Hoadley, was laid to rest in Strood cemetery in Kent, ten-years ago but now Medway Council have decided that it grave does not meet cemetery regulations and wants the family to alter it.

Mr Hoadley, died in 1998 aged 76, after devoting his life to his country, serving in the Second World War in places such as Burma, Italy, India and the North Atlantic.

The man is a war hero and later became the commanding officer of the Royal Marine Cadet Unit in Chatham, as well as chairman of the Chatham branch of the Royal Marine Association.

Now someone at the council, with nothing better to do, has apparently given the family 28-days to make alterations to the memorial.

They want two concrete plant pots removed as well as the pebbled top of the grave at an estimated cost of to the family of £2,000, or face the grave being taken down.

The family of Mr Hoadley were informed of this decision by a note stuck on the grave from Medway Council, which supposedly breaches Health & Safety regulations.

The Medway council bereavement and registration services manager said,

“We have placed notices on graves that have memorials without permits.  We try to take a considered approach but there are often extreme circumstances upon which we must act.”

Firstly, how can this man possibly be a bereavement manager, he has no compassion at all and secondly, these people have paid already, why should they have to make further payments to get a permit?

Surely, the council would have known ten-years ago that the grave did not meet their regulations so why wait until now to do anything about it, it’s an absolute disgrace.

So much of the Medway Towns are a disgrace, but instead of sorting these important issues out, the council try to find fault with things that don’t need fixing!

The squatters, not only the UK but from Italy, Spain, Poland, South Africa, North and South America, Canada, Germany and Mauritius, say they are not scroungers, that’s after they have broken into someone else’s property and wrecked it at a considerable price to the tax payer I might add.

Local residents are furious at council officials for not securing the property properly, after suffering weeks of all-night, rowdy parties, lighting bonfires, covering the area with discarded furniture and rubbish and covering the place with graffiti.

The block of 45 flats belonged to a private owner who had leased it out for temporary accommodation, but just before the property was due to be handed back, the squatters had heard about it and moved in.

Residents had started to feel unsafe in their own homes with strange people hanging around and cars coming and going at all times of the night.

The squatters have defended their right to occupy the flats and had apparently offered to pay rent, yeah right!

Many of the squatters claim not to be able to afford the rent that is being asked as it’s too expensive!  Get a job then, why should you be any different to anyone else!

I would imagine that most of those people are receiving some sort of benefits, and if that’s the case some of it should be used to pay for the damage that now needs to be repaired etc.

These people are not only trespassing but stealing, they have taken something that does not belong to them, surely these laws are in place for a reason.

Ian Davidson stated that unlike a doctor or a teacher who may be offered a job miles away from a family home, he has no choice, as a member of parliament, to work at Westminster; and thereby declaring his justification that if he and other MP’s need to work in London they require tax payers money to furnish their second home for their comfort.

This obnoxious, outlandish and simply ridiculous argument obviously annoyed other listeners to Radio 5 Live as much as it did me, judging by the texts that were read out after his crass argument.

Firstly, yes you DO have a choice. DON’T TAKE THE JOB if you can’t afford to. I can’t afford the mortgage for one family home in the south-east of England, let alone two. Sure, I would get a higher wage if I were to work in London, but then I don’t expect taxpayers to pay for me to live near where I work; and either buying or renting accommodation or indeed costs of commuting would necessarily need to be weighed up when I made my decision to take the job in the first place.

Secondly, Ian Davidson (and others) DO have a choice. Become an MP in the Scottish parliament – your own country!

In his argument he attempted to justify that the £24,006 additional costs allowance used for mortgage or rent payments and/or for furnishing second homes, is a one-off annual payment and therefore it is up to individual MP’s what they wish to spend it on. So if Gordon Brown wishes to have taxpayers pay for his Sky Digital tv package, that’s ok; and if another MP wishes to spend his allowances of paintings, that’s ok too.

This allowance is approximately the same figure as what is suggested to be the average wage. But there are many hard working people in the UK that eran far less than this ridiculous waste of tax payers money.

I agree 100% with Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, who said:

“MPs have missed a crucial opportunity to restore faith in parliament. By clinging to the plasma screen TVs and luxury kitchens allowed by the John Lewis list they have shown astonishing arrogance and disregard for people’s concerns.”
