Rabbit Thought of the Day

Sport this coming weekend will feature the Grand National and the two FA cup semi finals to be played at Wembley. However, the FA cup seems have fallen a little flat this year as no top clubs are involved. Which is good for the smaller clubs of course, but I think most football fans are more interest in the Champions League games or the Premiership.

Not bothered either way myself.

Once again the UK justice system is working for the criminals and against the law abiding public, detailed below is an article on the BBC website,

A convicted burglar claimed his human rights were breached because he had to empty toilet pots in a Suffolk prison.
Daniel Cornell, of Colchester, Essex, is seeking damages for distress suffered while having to "slop out" at Blundeston Prison, near Lowestoft.
Cornell, who was jailed for three-and-a-half years for a series of burglaries in 2004, is taking legal action against the prison authorities.
The Ministry of Justice said it could not comment on individual cases.
Campaign group The Prison Reform Trust said it was not aware that "slopping out" was still common in UK prisons but said it was concerned at any re-emergence of the practice.
Juliet Lyon, trust director, said jail over-crowding had led to instances of slopping out by prisoners.
"Prison is a punishment because it deprives people of their liberty - prisoners are not in prison to be degraded," she said.
"Slopping out ceased almost entirely except in a few wings in one or two jails which could not be re-plumbed," Mrs Lyon added.

While it is deed wrong that prisoners are slopping out, did Cornell think about the rights of his victims when he carried out his crimes. No he did not, nor I doubt does he care about them, all he his interested at present is making a lot of money out of the system. He his being aided by this organisation who I believe care little about his victims either, I imagine that they will also receive a large amount of public money in order to fight this case. It makes me sick that these goody, goodies they also care about criminals more than the victims. The injustice of this just goes to show how much is wrong in this country. If he wins his case and I think that he will, then both he and ‘The Prison Reform Trust’ should be made to give the money they make to the victims of his crimes.

I missed something out of my last blog, I must thank the police, paramedics and the doctors and nurses, and they were all magnificent. Sometimes we take them for granted, these people are always on hand and they do their job professionally and without fuss.

Once again, I thank you!

I had a bit of a shock yesterday afternoon a bit about 12:45 I had a phone call to say that my wife had a it of fall, she had hit her head and was being take to casualty. I left work in a bit of a hurry not knowing what to expect. I arrived at casualty asked for her at the reception desk and was ushered quickly to a side room.

This was where things got really scary, normally you asked to sit in the waiting area and just wait until they have been treated or admitted. Being asked to wait in side room, where there were tissues on the desk and a notice giving you the number of the hospital Chaplin was not my idea of fun. All sorts of things were going thorough my head, the receptionist did mention one thing and that the police were bringing in daughter. Things were not looking good; I had been in this room for a good 15 minutes a nurse of doctor had not been in at this point I tried to phone my daughter but her phone was switched off. While I was doing this a nurse did appear and did say that Rosemary was okay and they were cleaning her up and treating her. A little relief but I still didn’t know what had actually happened.

After about another 10 minutes the police arrived with Caz, she didn’t looking good herself a bit white and drawn. The police now explained what had occurred, Rosemary had fallen in the house and hit her head on the hearth of the fireplace, she knew she had done something serious because she could feel blood running down her face. She managed to get the phone and call 999, she explained that she lived in an up stairs flat and was unable to get down stairs to open the door. The police arrived first and had to break a glass panel in the door to gain access, then a few minutes the paramedic arrived and started to treat her, a few minutes after that the ambulance arrived.

Rosemary was taken to hospital, I was contacted and the police went to fetch Caz from school where she was doing extra study for her ‘A’ levels. The nurse reappeared and we were taken though to see Rosemary. God she looked terrible covered in blood, on a drip and oxygen and with the heart monitor bleeping it looking like something from a movie. She must have hit her head quite hard, they had shaved the front part of her hair and she had needed 19 stitches. But she was lucid and talking quite well considering. She had to go and have a CT scan but when she came back the doctor explained that it was normal and nothing to worry, nothing to worry about it looked like she had 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

After a few more hours of waiting around, Rosemary was taken to a ward, where she was made comfortable; we left a little while later she was feeling tired and we felt it best to give her a little peace, we had been there at time for a little over 6 hours. Today we will go back and see if she can come home, but looking at the wound, I doubt at the moment.

More later!
