Thought police in action

The Thought Police who recently arrested Robin Page for his outspoken views on the rural community being a genuine but neglected minority and who locked up David Wilson in Scotland for four months for distributing a leaflet warning against the danger from local Muslim militants have struck again in relation to the Parole Board hearing on Tony Martin.

It seems that Mr. Martin who was defending himself and his farm during a attempt by two burglars is being denied freedom from jail, not so much for what he has done but for his thoughts about his "crime".

According to yesterday's 'Daily Mail', the Probation Officer's report for the Tony Martin's Parole Board included these words:

"Mr. Martin has views about society which are out of kilter with the majority of 21st century thinking and is defiantly out of touch with modern thinking. He has strong opinions about how England should be and makes frequent references to how wonderful society was in the 1950s".

With a report like that on Tony Martin's views, one expect the Parole Board's decision to ignore his model record as a prisoner, and ignore the fact that there is no likelihood of his re-offending on release, was unusually straightforward.

The twisted minds of the liberal elite who incarcerate people who take action to defend themselves are so far out of touch with the opinions of the majority of Britons.

Mr Martin could have got out!

Tony Martin could have got out if he had expressed great regret and sorrow at having killed one of the burglars and stated that he had never intended to kill anyone just to frighten them off! That would have been all it would have taken! In reality Tony Martin had originally intended just to fire a couple of warning shots and not to cause any death or injury, but had fired into the dark being unable to see clearly. He should have stated this and that it was never his intention to harm anyone. Had he done that he would have got out.

I take it after Tony is free you will continue your commitment to justice by supporting parole-board mess-up prisoners such as Gary Mills & Tony Poole? Or are you only interested in this one case 'cause he shot people you don't like and once he's free you can go back to ranting about how the parole boards are too easy on people?

oh yes, the one legged black muslims have more rights than us, comment by that one man and hs dog twerp.
rural community a minority?! piss off!
you might lose the right to kill foxes and you think that makes you a minority?
mind you i guess it does, a minority to those who have moved on from middle-aged thinking.
and as for tony martin, he shot that kid in the back as he was running away. and the fact that he wasn't sorry makes him a hero in the mail's eyes!
Lord help us.
