Life in Gordon Brown's cool Britannia: Frank McCourt arrested

A former soldier, Frank McCourt, has been charged after making a citizen's arrest.

When Mr McCourt, of Crawley, West Sussex, was confronted by youths hurling stones and threatening his wife, he thought he was within his rights to make a citizen's arrest. Instead, police arrested the 56-year-old on suspicion of kidnapping. They treated the youths as traumatised witnesses.

They put Mr McCourt in a cell and charged him with assault. They let him live for months with the threat of a jail sentence until – after the intervention of a local MP – the Crown Prosecution Service decided that taking Mr McCourt to trial was "not in the public interest".

Sitting in a front room full of family photographs and his wife's ceramic ornaments, Mr McCourt has his freedom but, he says, "a little bit of me has been destroyed forever – the bit that believed in British justice, that thought I would get help when I needed it, instead of being betrayed."

And as Mr McCourt tells his story, it does indeed seem hard not to fear what it might reveal about modern British justice.

To his neighbours, he is a hero. They had been preparing placards and planned to demonstrate outside the crown court during his trial. The police, they say, were of little use against antisocial behaviour.

Mr McCourt claims that the police were also of little use when, a fortnight after his preliminary court appearance, dog excrement was smeared on his van. "When I phoned, they said 'We'll give you a crime number'. That was it."

When the intimidation continued, with a night-time call from men challenging him to a fight, the police did at least visit. Three-and-a-half hours after the men had left.

Mrs McCourt, 59, is politely incredulous at suggestions that the police might defend them. "They are extremely nice to your face," she says. "Then they look around and think, 'Who's the easiest one to charge?' We call it back-to-front Britain: the hard-working, honest people are sent to the back. The yobs go to the front of the queue."

Well, there you have a picture of the broken society that the socialists have created, the feral youth have rights, the police have become neutered and as the McCourts said "Who's the easiest one to charge?" - Unlike the feral youth who have the backing of Guardian reading social workers, the ordinary people often make the best victims. After all Gordon's targets on policing have to be met.
You know what?" says Mr McCourt. "I even thanked them for coming." The officers spoke to him, then the boys. "They said, 'There's been a serious allegation. We must investigate. We are arresting you for kidnapping.' I thought they were joking." They took him to Crawley police station to be bailed, then drove him home to a wife who was "in floods of tears".

In the early days, he claims, some police officers were sympathetic. "One said, 'If it had been me, I would have slapped him.' They said those kids were known to the police. They reassured me it was 'nothing, rubbish'. Of course I believed them. I thought the case was bound to be dropped."

His illusions were shattered in April, when he answered bail for the second time and ended up being charged. "They searched me, took my shoes away. They took DNA samples. They put me in a cell for two hours. I wasn't frightened. I was angry."

Oh yes, the DNA database as touted by blind spiv and scribbler for The Sun tabloid, David Blunkett, who states that it is the biggest in the world. Despite the number of people like Mr McCourt who are put on it for trivial reasons. Oh Blunkett is also a director of a firm touting for business with regards the DNA database, so naturally no question of conflict of interests there...

Since last March Blunkett been chairman of the international advisory committee of Entrust Inc, the Texas based security company which hopes to provide software for the UK ID cards system.

Now move along nothing to see here, remember according to government propaganda crime is down, all is well.

The socialists create a nightmare society, devoid of any values, then attack those who attempt to defend themselves.

Update: DK has a wonderfull statement on what he thinks of the police involved in this case:here

And if I were the police officers involved, I would go and hang myself in the public square with a big placard around my neck, saying...
"I am a total fucking cunt. Please throw dogshit at my hanging body and let the crows peck out my eyes. Then dismember my body and bury the various bits in unconsecrated ground near the crossroads. Then piss on the graves and take a dump in my skull. I am a total fucking shit and I don't deserve to live."
I have to say that I agree with him, although I would start at the top. First off the authoritarian cunt Gordon "cyclops" Brown, then Jack Straw, Jacqui Smith and what ever other worthless lying sacks of shit have held the post of Home Sec over the last ten years. Hell even that slimey toad Miliband would be dragged out kicking and screaming like a girl to his death.

All of them would be taken outside and forced to kneel down before having their brains plastered all over the pavement by a bullet.

One by one, so they all know the fate in store for them.

Oh and last of all would be that shifty amoral spiv David Blunkett, hell as I am in that sort of mood today fucking cap Sadie his guide dog as well.

The charges will have only been dropped because Gordo and chums so detested right now. Mr MCourt may not feel this way, but he's actually been lucky!!

Blogger "Lionheart" is in precisely the same boat. A Year ago, New Labours thought police were prepared to follow him around the Globe, (at the tax payers expense of course) to mete out British "Justice".

But when he finally handed HIMSELF IN, at a Bedfordshire police station of his own free will and choosing, by then, things had already turned sour, for the one eyed wanker and New Labour, and as the British media were by now fawning over this none story, Lionheart was bailed immediately, and as yet, No charges have been brought.

In other words - New Labour FIRST...

Justice and democracy NOWHERE!!!!
