Meredith Kercher was pretty much your normal British exchange student, but in November last year her semi naked body was found on the floor of her apartment in Italy with her throat slit.

Now deaths like this are always a sad affair but should the family really be seeking £20 million in compensation, that’s around $40 million, or roughly 8,695,652 pints.  Now it would be naive to think that the family are not grieving the loss, and expecting some kind of reparations for the pain caused would be more than understandable.

But consider this, the average compensation for death in the UK is around £10,000, barring life insurance which tends to hover around the 4x earnings mark.  If the average is £10,000 why in God’s name would anyone try and obtain 2000 times that amount?

While I am unsure of who exactly the parents are trying to sue, since obviously the perpetrators were young and poor, while the government cannot really be held accountable, I think the amount being chased is unfair, unreasonable and in itself unjust.

Gypsies, Gypos, Travellers, Pikeys, the list goes on for the names of those that travel from place to place in caravans the UK over.

Recently these theiving bastards minority citizens have been recognised legally as just that, a minority. So no longer can you call them thieving fuckers, thats obviously racist because you are referring to the entire race.

So us Brits now have to ignore the fact that following these travellers you will find a trail of destruction, graffiti theft, muggings and rape. Instead we have to look at our statistics and pretend the fact is not their.

We can no longer drive these people out of town like used to be done not so long ago, instead we have to provide them with space and use local tax payer money to clean up and repair the damage.

So my question is, have we, asBritons, eally become too soft?

We now have to accept every one and everything?

Now of course this is where things get interesting, and infact part of the argument used by travelling folk.

It is an undeniable fact that crime follows suite as to the concentration of black people coloured minority citizens.

Therefore if we force gypsies out should we not force black people out too?

Of course there are some differences, black people on the whole are law abiding and more importantly pay taxes, hold down jobs and contribute, unlike travellers who get away with paying little to no tax, especially to the local councils they send into debt.

While crime in predominantly black areas is higher there are just as many people of the same colour trying to combat the crime and live honest lives, and in their case I dont think the majority should be brought down by the minority.

Gypsies on the other and take what they want, do not look after teh land they inhabit and while well known for their ability to work through legal loopholes have been allowed free reign by our government by allowing them minority status.

This country is being slowly run into the ground by namby pamby poncey fucking bureaucrats, the same people who brought gypsies into minority status are also partly responsible for the latest list of unacceptable words, including

Seminal and Disseminate - Related to Semen, too Masculine

Immigrant - calling someone this is now classed as racism

Able bodied should now be non-disabled as it makes them seem ‘less’

Civilisation and Developed Nations is now disallowed as it makes us seem ‘better than’

and Chinese Whisper is obviously racist.

‘Coloured’ is obviously condescending to black people, so we now refer to them as ‘people of colour’ This is obviously a big change and the British Sociological Association is obviously not being even more condescending and blatantly racist by thinking black people will not notice how blatantly racist and condescending this change infact is.

To avoid bigotry against disabled people you can’t call a single disabled person disabled, you may only refer to them in the third person, for example epileptic becomes a person with epilepsy.

To further the slightly Orwellian constraints all the following have been reduced to the same wording

Victim of

Person who has / person with

Crippled by

Person who has / person with

Suffering from

Person who has / person with

Afflicted by

Person who has / person with

So was someone who contracted AIDs during consensual sex afflicted by or victim of?

We will never find out now.

Oh and someone who is mentally ill is no longer mentally ill, they are a mental health service user.

If yo call them mentally ill prepare to be sued, of course this opens up the debate can anyone use the mental health service since you are not allowed to call a specific person mentally disabled, I may go over and get shot full of relaxants right now to be honest.

I read this story on the BBC news site today, it raised one of those good ol’ moral dilemas.  This woman has HIV and will most likely die if returned to her home country.  She has already been treated here in the UK several times on our NHS at tax payers cost, despite being an illegal immigrant.

Now how do you weigh a persons life against your own cash?

The fact of the matter is that millions of pounds of tax payers money is spent treating people who have come to the UK for that sole reason, the NHS is a very large, complex and overall easily abused system.

The problem is if you treat one person, why not treat them all?

Every year we send back thousands of people who have come to this country to abuse our system, as nice as you make it sound they come here illegally simply to take what they want.

Others of course come here because they want to live in Britain, to contribute and to become part of our society.  There is a clear, if unmeasurable difference between the two.

How can we keep out those who are abusing the country and let in those who want to join England?

And how do you turn someone away who so desperately needs medical attention, whatever their skin colour, creed or religion?

While it would be nice to treat the world we simply cannot afford it, hell we can hardly afford to treat ourselves with the NHS’s drug boards regularly cutting important medication and treatments from what we get on the NHS.

I have to admit it is a subject matter I would not want to be the policy owner on.  Do you bankrupt the country or stand to be hit by claims of racism and hatred?

Maybe we should look more to other countries, ones that protect their own heritage?

Ones that are not afraid to stand and say, this is us, if you can contribute you can join but do not expect our country to bend to your will.
