“Everything will melt away like ice yet the glory of Vladimir , the glory of Russia are the only things that will remain. Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world.”(1979)
- The prediction was made in Soviet times when just a few people were using the term
“Russia”. It remains to be seen which Vladimir Vanga had referred to. There are three real candidates: The Prince Vladimir, Vladimir Lenin, the Vladimir Putin, or the future one…

Finanlyl…a great start. But we shall see

Critiising the poor state of state education, Private school chief: some state pupils are unteachable
http://education.guardian.co.uk/schools/story/0,,2283181,00.html

Yes, they can. Government will never have to default on debt denominated in domestic currency (i.e. a currency that they can create more, like in Zimbabwe, except in 1999 where Russia Choose to go bust due to political infighthing) BUT now in Eurozones, only ECB is allowed to print Euros and France, Italy etc can no longer inflate their way out of their debt.

In the past 15 years, France has increased its debt as a % of GDP (then in franc) from 35% to 70% (now in Euro).

Although even if France go bust and had to exit Euro, deposits in Euros will be sort of kind of safe (although Euro will like to dive following the event, those euros denominated savings etc will remain in Euros)

Middle classes losing faith in ‘rude’ police who go for soft targets instead of the real criminals

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1022915/Middle-classes-losing-faith-rude-police-soft-targets-instead-real-criminals.html

As reported in daily mail today.

http://catherinelim.sg/2008/05/28/letter-to-the-straits-times-on-the-mas-selamat-scandal/

Singapore public was no doubt outraged and disappointed by the escape of  a dangerous criminals in Singapore. The public demands that the people on the topup are punished.

Compare this to UK:

(a) UK puts dangerous criminals in open prision and when they escape, no one gets punished, big guy or small guy. Zero person got punished, full stop. (except the next victim, perhaps)
[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1927563/Violent-criminals-’escaping-from-open-prisons’.html]

(b) UK even intentionally lets people out via the paroll scheme after many of these criminals served just half of the sentence, allowing them to committ further crimes.

(c) and the big guys shows no regret

Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, told the programme: “By sending more low-risk short sentence prisoners to open prisons we are able to free up places in closed prisons where pressure on places is greatest.

(d) Only one guy escaped from Singapore prison and the Singaporean think it is big deal, hundred escape from UK (or acquitted due to incompetent CPS), and the Brits are just fine with it.

Shocking…

BBC did an analysis using hard numbers (rather than media headlines)

Among those… things do get really bad in Glasgow

Last year there were 73 murders in the Strathclyde Police force area, 40 of which involved knives Knife crime levels in Scotland are 3.5 times higher than in England or Wales Scotland had 5.3 homicides per 100,000 last year in the 10-to-29 age group, which compares with one per 100,000 in England and Wales

In Singapore, this is 0.49 per 100,000 according to 2004 data

T

he government has given details its plans to release about 550 inmates in an effort to ease overcrowding.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7422737.stm

This is just sheer madness.  The sentencing has already been extraordinary generous by say Singapore, Hong Kong or Malaysia standard and now the governmetn wants to let them out early?

That is on top of a over £30 - £100k cost of getting them convicted in the first place.

None violence criminals?  Those who disrespect small laws will also disrespect much bigger laws. The state has a duty to protect after collecting the billion pounds of ‘protection fees” …err (it is called tax)”.

This is a joke.

Went to renew by Malaysian passport last thursday and the service at the high comm was brilliant.

I was a little bit weary when I was told that the photos I have taken (with light background) was not suitable as the high comm now needs a blue background phtoos (oh yah…different standards everywhere). However, there was a malay chap and lady stationed at a corner of the embassy who helped me to take a new set of photos for £5.  Not exactly cheap but safe the day.  I think the arrangement is fairly Malaysian style - I bet there is a demand, so the officers at the high comm knew someone, suggested that to someone and they just go there and setup shop. Flexible works well this time.

I was there at around 10:00am, was seen at 11:00 and the passport (Machine readable) was ready for collection at 3pm. Cool.
