Today and disgusting incident happened. A young man, supposedly in the army, was brutally murdered in what could be a terrorist attack.
There's a video showing one of the murderers talking to a by stander who was filming, showing his blood soaked hands, saying 'Your government doesn't care about you.'
This incident is utterly appalling, and something needs to be done about our boarders, and how we deal with such cases.
Firstly I would like to point out that EDL, and BNP are NOT the people to turn to, they are racist and just as bad as the people who commit these crimes.
We do, however, need to make sure that our service men and women aren't targeted, and nor are normal innocent people.
The family of this young man need support, not anger, they comforting, fighting, and they will need strength, not hate.
I feel sorry for ethnic communities, because people like these two murderers will tar them with the same brush, and that isn't fair, and by going with the likes of the EDL and BNP, we are taking away any dignity they have in this country.
Let us show these murderers that we are a strong community, not one easily deterred by their disgusting crimes that they decide to commit.
RIP to the young, and my condolences go his family.

Gay Marriage
Legalising gay marriage shouldn't be a huge issue, why would you want to stop two people in love getting married?
Half the reason gay marriage is being held back is because the Church of England is against it. Well seeming as the Church of England is based on Christianity, and to me Christianity stands for being equal, and a good Samaritan, they should be one of the forces backing FOR gay marriage, not against.
Of course not all couples are Christians, but seeming as the Church of England's Bishops sit in the House of Lords, expressing their views, it's the one entity we have try and get on side, or to get them to 'turn the other cheek'.
To stop two people in love getting married is an awful thing to do. It isn't fair, nor is it kind.
I think the government, and the Church need to look at what century we are living in, especially looking at my generation, and generations coming after us, because we aren't a homophobic generation, in fact gay couples is a part of life, we are more liberal in that sense, and I think the House of Commons needs to be as well.
Maybe it's time for the C of E to leave the House of Commons, especially as we are now a multicultural society, and most people today aren't that religious, should we be presented by an old constitution that doesn't represent a vast majority anymore?

No to EU Referendum
For some reason Labour are reluctant to give us a referendum whether we want to stay in the EU or not. Labour really hate giving us, the electorate, a voice but you have to remember 'they're for the people'........
I personally want to leave the EU, unless David Cameron can make sure the EU doesn't treat us like a money bank for countries that are struggling and give them a few trillion Euros, I don't see how the EU has treated us fairly.
I know countries like Germany, and France like to abuse us is because we won't join the single currency, and why would we? It's failing before our very eyes, it was originally introduced to help smaller countries in the EU, not France and Germany who have dominated it since day dot, and now places like Greece, and Spain a drowning in their single currency issues.
Labour, as the party for the people, should all be for giving us a voice, allow us to say yes or no. Instead they are running scared of us, of their own voters, most of whom would probably vote to stay in the EU along with the Lib Dems.
So come on Labour prove to us you're a party that stands by its standards and give us the voice to tell you what we, your employers, want!

Barbara Hewson
Today Barbara Hewson has come out in support of lowering the age of consent to 13, so that old men like Jimmy Saville, and others, aren't prosecuted.
A decade ago I was 13, and although I knew what sex was, I certainly wasn't of mind to say yes to someone older man who asked me for sex!!
Some 13 year old girls do have sex, and some of my friends at school had sex at 13, but it didn't make it right because they agreed to it. I've asked them recently if they regret having sex at such a young, and they've all said yes, "I didn't know what I was doing to my body."
One friend hadn't even started her menstrual cycle when she lost her virginity!
I don't know much about Barbara Hewson, if she has any daughters or neices, other than the fact she thinks people like Saville shouldn't be prosecuted because 'Touching a 17 year old's breasts, kissing a 13 year old, or putting one's hand up a 16 year old's skirt are not remotely comparable to the horror's of the Ealing Vicarage assaults, or gang rape, or the Fordingbridge gang rape and murders.'
A 17 or 16 year old can give consent, and know that if a man touches their bodies they can do something about, but a 13 year old is still getting used to her changing body, her hormones, let a lone a 20, 30, or older man asking her for sex!!
When I was 16 if a man touched me in an area I didn't feel comfortable with and I had asked him to stop and he didn't, I know for a fact I would have kicked him so hard he would have wished he never got out of bed that morning, but if I was 13 and a man did that to me, I'm not exactly sure how I would have reacted.
I probably would have frozen in fear, just because these women are older now, doesn't mean that justice can't be done The only one's I have problems with are the girls who were 16 and over, because you can give consent, and by law, you know what is going on.
Any younger, I think it's disgusting, and he should be locked up for life.
I don't think she fully understands her proposal of lowering the age of consent what knock on effects that's going to have.
Imagine a 40 odd year old man comes up to a 13 year old in the park, asks her for sex to which she consents, he doesn't use protection and she ends up pregnant, and you never hear from him again, what kind of life is that little girl, and her now child, going to have?
What mental issue's might she go through? At the age of 13 your body might be ready for a baby, but your mind certainly isn't!
Barbara might argue that the girl could have an abortion. Has she ever had an abortion, does she know that it can be extremely mentally and physically quite draining?
They could give it up for adoption she might say. Does she know how long, and lengthy that process is? Does she know how mentally draining that can also be? What would it do to their academics?
Someone like Jimmy Saville who touched young girls who weren't only too young to give consent, but some were physically and mentally handicapped.
I Barbara needs to re-read what she has written, and maybe change her choice of words. More recently the deputy speaker of the House of Commons has been accused of raping a male. If he has, he needs to be brought to justice, if he hasn't he needs to prove his innocence, as Barbara seems to think it's an 'unfortunate coincidence'
If a man or woman touches you in a way that you don't feel is appropriate, make sure you tell them to stop, if they don't, hit them where it hurts and run to tell someone.
I do realise that Barbara is trying to point out there are women who fake such disgusting acts for attention, but that doesn't mean she needs to victimise 13 year old's.
