Police offer facing man slaughter charge over G20 incident

I simply can’t help myself from posting a blog on this.  Police officers in the UK may finally get what they deserve  or at least one anyway.

I am sure by now we have all seen the horrible attack by a Metropolitan Police officer  upon the newspaper salesman Mr. Ian Thomilson. It has been discovered that a heart attack did not kill him! Instead it was internal bleeding of the stomach. This could have been brought on by the sheer force of the blow towards the now deceased mr. Thomilson by the unidentified police officer. With this discovery charges may now be raised against the officer on the grounds of manslaughter. By any other name this is accidental murder.

Why does it come to the public as such a shock that police officers attack innocent members of the public? We have in the past few years in the UK witnessed police brutality:

 We shall go to first of all the underhanded methods of control used by police officers in Manchester against the Rangers fans. Or shall we go for the most shocking one of all? That 400 police officers in Strathclyde Police Force (largest in Scotland) are convicted criminals who in the past had the intent to maim and injure the innocent. At least then they could not get away with it as easily. Now however, they can get away with it far easier. Illusions and mirrors are sued against us the public as a way for us to be fooled into thinking the police are protecting us. At the end of the day they are protecting themselves. And the best example of this is selective evidence form Manchester. CCTV which showed police officers attacking innocent fans has suddenly vanished. CCTV which shows fans attacking police officers (perhaps edited from the fan defending themselves to make it seem as if they attacked the officer) remains.

All in all this can be put into the idea: “There are no worse criminals than the police themselves”. It is a sad day when we no longer feel safe to wonder our streets not because of strangers but because those who should defend you may attack you. Just because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time trying to get home. So I have a solution to this problem. Each time there is a planned mass demonstration send them to the countryside erect a fence and let them protest there.  The police can be outside the fence and reporters can be inside it if they wish. Showing we still support protest and hopefully the police can’t attack anyone this way for exercising their inherent right as a citizen of the UK to peacefully assemble and protest.

Apple fail to get the concept of windows users and updating.

Recently I was unfortunate enough to place Apple Itunes onto my Windows Vista 64-Bit machine. As a windows user I am used to updates being listed as essential or recommended, I have stuck to this religiously since windows 98 and wish to continue, Apple however do not.

They are acting as the drug seller at a school gate – lurking to lay their hands on an unsuspecting victim. They give you the product you want but then decide that in addition i would like to see Apple Quicktime (which is buggy on OSX. I don’t even want to see it on Vista).  I have no option. You are unsuspecting. I have become used to press the next button and downloading expecting it ot be an update. When it is entirely new programs. They try and get me hooked in the hope I will purchase overly priced computers to help them in their subversion of people’s minds.

I cna say luckily Apple does not just dot his too us the poor windows users. It does it to their own loyal users (and fanboys/girls). Companies report installing updates over night and the tech department in the morning reporting that now OSX has become incompatible with what the server has own it, and Apple automatically purchasing software keys for the new release (Quicktime).  This can lead to problems at the worst of moments. Say your AGM when you just discover the new Quicktime is not backward compatible.

It appears to me then that Apple are the drug dealer. They make the user addicted (it would appear from use of Quicktime) and then expect the dominos to fall on the person. Buy an Iphone, Imac and Ipod – maybe they will eventually release the Irack (it could act as a testament to the real Iraq) forgive my blatant stealing from MadTV - Apple henceforth must learn to approach updates to software differently. Go for the windows class which we all understand. And do not release new versions of software as an update. At least not until the original reaches the end of its serviceable life with the company.

Come on Apple approach this like Microsoft!
