BT's Abuse of the Free Market
British Telecom has incredibly adopted a policy which ties customers to a one year contract
with no cancellation clause. This is done obviously to avoid high costs in maintaining a high
speed Internet service, and obviates the need for BT to compete. The policy
is an outrageous abuse on the free market.

PC World - Size Matters
Who protects the consumer against corporations and the cash corporations have tucked away?
A PC World representative said "We don't need your money," to a consumer - and that is the
guilty sentence. Corporations don't need our money: they have plenty from banks and
stocks.
Everywhere I look, I see complaints against
PCWorld.
I quote from dooyoo.co.uk, if another PC World complaint page mysteriously vanishes:
"PC World is probably the UK’s largest retail outlet for computer goods. They have a massive
range of stock ranging from the simplest software up to some top of the range hardware but
they also
have many flaws that are inherent due to their business practice and ethics."
Added to this insult made by PCWORLD on the free market, is the additional culpability
that PCWORLD is part of one company which consists of Dixons,
Curreys, and
the Link. These large companies all form what
must be a monopoly by any standards known to the layman.
Rights Advocates says PC World and the other monoliths need to be regulated and the
consumer protected.
Their size and favour with big money effectively insults them from free market forces. Consumers
are disadvantaged, and competition suffers.
Argos is fined over £15 million. Headline news was made today (19.2.03) by the
incredible story that one of the UK's leading retailers (Argos) and known to almost everyone
in the UK had traded illegally by fixing prices. In the largest fine ever for anti-competitive
practices the chain store magnet is fored to give away over £15 million. A lot of money, how ever rich you are.
Jailed Politicians
Power
United States politician is sentenced (September 6, 2002) to
imprisonment for more
than five years. The judge remarked that it was a "sad day." This was CNN headline news.
Read about more jailed politicians.
The United Kingdom is one of the world's most powerful countries; its legal
system and political system is almost a thousand years old. It frequently remarks about
human rights and issues relating to rights.
Blair's Drunken Son
Bush & Cocaine
British politicians have long made critical remarks about drunks, and Tony Blair called
British people "yobs." Shortly, after making this remark (July 2000), his son was found
drunk and was arrested. His son was sixteen years old.
Bush, now the US President, was
arrested for
drunk driving in 1976. This news was leaked to the media shortly before the 2000 Presidential
election. Bush was critical of the news report. Bush was hampered with questions about
his possible cocaine use in the Presidential 2000 elections.
Free Speech & Jail
Police Corruption
Journalists jailed (1997)
in England for printing language to incite crime.
Corrupt police officers (2000) on trial
in the USA.
Government Cash Supports Failing Companies
More money
is spent to support a failing company. Her Majesty's Government reportedly to spend
two billion pounds to support British Energy.
Most company owners have to compete to make
a living, but when you're in with the Government, that is not necessary. You just accept
government cash, continue to fail, and then request more cash. The Government always has
plenty of cash for failing companies.
Rights Advocates says let the companies get better management. Prompt skill and talent, and leave
government cash from the equation - don't discriminate against smaller companies.
Free Speech
Laws to inhibit free speech signed by President Clinton and Bush, are considered unconstitutional. CNN
reports how Clinton and Bush tried to limit freedom of speech. The court adjudged that
the law on Internet Decency was not constitutional and it could not be enforced.
More Airline Security
CNN
reports the story of criticism against airlines for more secruity. This security uses labelling.
People are not judged by their actions, but by their circumstances.
We need security, but we need accountable security. Government sources are not
forthcoming on how information is stored or used.
Police & Crime - Corruption
The world of police officers is again shaken by more allegations backed up by arrests against
senior police officers. CNN reports
how ten police officers are facing jail time following criminal charges.
How close was LA Confidential to real-life? In the movie the LAPD is shown to be corrupt, using
violence illegally against criminals, and the police itself sells drugs.
In another police and crime story, CNN reports how a police
officer faced "overwhelming evidence" that he beat and kicked a motorist. The officer
was fined, and he resigned.
Police and corruption again is reported at CNN.
President Bush of the USA dramatically condemns
court judgement. We can all
imagine that if court independence did not exist in the USA, how easily government officials
could impose an illegal view. The courts ruled that Bush's wishes are illegal.
American courts that it is illegal to endorse the phrase "under God" in schools. Bush and the White House
disagree with it - they are trying to endorse religion - they are trying to endorse illegality.
The FBI publishes information about its activities.
Famous people such as John Lennon, a Beatle, were criminally investigated by the FBI.
The need for better security
CNN reports
how a security shot an innocent person after being provoked. In the UK, we have seen a rapid
increase of private security and security cameras, all of which is entirely unregulated. The press
has made reports of ex-offenders being security guards.
The need is here to regulate security. RA says they should be licensed.
British Crime & Politics
The UK is experiencing high crime levels causing an array of surviellance cameras and advanced
security systems to be installed in most towns and cities. I saw an interesting article
discussing some germane issues to British crime.
The UK is now dubbed "The Crime Capital" of the West. The Independent, a leading British
newspaper, published findings
dubbing the UK as the West's crime capital.
One of the trends in British crime is that it reaches almost all parts of society. Government
officials, politicians, police officers, judges are now routinely charged with crimes. Several
high profile convictions, such as Lord Archer's conviction, have undermined the system, and
pointed to corruption.
There were numerous allegations of illegal funding in Parliament
a few years ago, but politicians managed to cover up any wrong doing and bury the truth. They actually
turned hostile to the media which actually had uncovered corruption after journalists
were involved in impersonation to get the truth.
The British system is highly authoriitarian and closed. According to law, almost all accountability
is held by the Monarch who rules in God's name, and answers only to God. In practice, this means
that a few well placed people (who mostly inherit their positions), control power in the UK.
Most readers will know that Europe has been a hotbed of conflict and war over the last century, with
issues related to socialism dominating this conflict. The British system still subscribes to values
which are hundreds of years old.
Another MP Arrested
With so many criminal charges now brought against politicians, we are used of seeing the headlines.
This time the BBC reports that a former senior Government Minister of the Crown is up on
criminal charges. This made headline news in the UK.
Corporate Crime
Bush speaks in his
radio address, saying that several of America's corporate executives were arrested. He espoused himself to
the rights of investors in his address.
British Gas
The British Gas industry has been beset with criticisms over high salaries, and the gas
industries have a terrible name. I have included a reference to one complaint, but there are
hundreds in google.com. The Guardian printed a story about the criticisms
made against British Gas.
RA Jokes
Lying Politicians
Snakes & Lawyers
How do you know when politicians are lying?
Their lips are moving.
What's the difference between a snake getting run over, and a lawyer?
The snake has skid marks in front of it.

This site was started after Trevor Oakley, an IT consultant,
was stopped and questioned by armed police officers - one with a machine gun. He was questioned
for carrying safety razors. The incident impressed upon him the need for human rights, and the
vulnerability an unarmed civilian has to armed police officers.
