Trench Reynolds recently joked about having to set up a News of Doom 2.0 just for the United Kingdom, but upon reflection I’m not sure it’s such a bad idea. Jolly old England doesn’t have the allure it once had for Americans as the British Isles becomes the South Bronx of Europe. Check out some recent news stories.

The vicar who was beaten by a gang of Muslims in his own churchyard was back to work, after 12 days in a hospital. His church has apparently been vandalized before by Muslim youths who fear no authority:

The 18th-century church, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, has regularly had its windows smashed by gangs of youths who often congregate in the church grounds.

On one occasion youths were heard to shout: “This should not be a church, this should be a mosque.”

In another attack on the church, a brick was thrown through a window during a service and families worshiping inside were showered with glass.

There have been no arrests.

Meanwhile the liberal think tank released a report claiming that Whites needed to “do more” to make Asian Muslims feel welcome. Maybe the Muslims should keep their kids from beating up priests if they want to feel more welcome.

A few months ago the police have arrested two men for pimping in a land mark case. Land mark because until the mothers of the underage girls lured into a life of drugs and prostitution made a stink about it the official policy of the police was ignore pimping if the men were “Asian” (Pakistani Muslims) and the girls were White. They didn’t want to be called racists:

Maureen’s daughter Jo was one of Hussain and Naveed’s victims, having been groomed by them and a number of other Asian men when she was 14. Jo went missing from her Blackburn home 90 times during the six-month period in 2005 that she was in Hussain and Naveed’s clutches.

“I was told by one police officer that he did not ‘want to start a race riot’ by arresting Pakistani men for sexual offenses,” Maureen said. During the six months that Jo was in the clutches of these men, they raped, beat and abused her to the point where, says her mother, she did not even know who she was any more. Eventually, after she was attacked by Hussain and Naveed with an iron bar, Jo somehow found the courage to report them to police, and they were arrested. The case took 16 months to come to court. In the meantime, other pimps, undeterred by the impending trial, continued to go about their business.

The Brits aren’t scared of being called racist by the Ghurkas, who have loyally served in the United Kingdom’s military for 200 years, and are getting shit on in return.

British law enforcement is being told not to arrest illegal immigrants.

A girl who filmed her friends kicking a man to death gets a measly two year sentence.

A Sun reporter following up on a child molester who recently moved close to a nursery school is threatened.

Gordon Brown says a Flu pandemic is a bigger threat to England than terrorism.

A drug dealer gets work release five days a week at a job that pays more than blogging!

A town’s Community Safety Manager won accolades from the police for her work, until they found out she was a violent fugitive drug dealer.

Western Resistance has a story of a controversial mosque attempting to shelter a rapist from justice.

I could go on but what’s the point? The above stories are shocking not because of the crimes involved, after all there are rapes and murders here, but because so much of the crime seems to be facilitated by government inaction, incompetence and in some cases betrayals of public trusts.

In a country where filming your friends killing a man, in essence producing a snuff film, only gets you a two year sentence there isn’t any real impetus to not make snuff films aside from personal morality. Decades of Fabian socialism have banished morality from the public sphere, so it is the threat of jail society mus fall back on to keep order.

But if jail is just a hotel where you stay while working at a job the government provides, a free hotel, than that two year sentence doesn’t seem daunting at all. Nor would a ten year sentence.

Criminals in England lack fear. They don’t fear the police and they certainly don’t fear a disarmed and cowed public. There are lots of calls for a change from Labor to a new government, but what good will that do? Can the Tory party roll back a generation of miseducation? Can they wave a magic wand and produce a public who aren’t easy pickings for criminals?

A generation of young men have grown up in England believing that English law does not apply to them. That’s not a problem that can be voted away, but one that will have to be dealt with one way or another.

It was a story ignored by the American media, likely because it flies in the face of the leftist myth of England as a model of progressivism. Sophie Lancaster, 20 and her Boyfriend were walking home after visiting friends late one evening when they were set upon by a gang of up to 15 youths ages 15-17 who were drunk and out on the town at 11:30am or so. They decided to attack the boyfriend, Robert Maltby because he was a “mosher” which is apparently slang for a Goth. The attack was so vicious that Sophie was driven to try to save Roberts life by shielding his head with her body, at which point the mob turned on her:

A 14-year-old girl who was tagging along with the gang told police afterwards that one of them pointed at Maltby and said: “Shall we batter him?” before another youth ran across and smacked him in the face.

She added that Maltby had laughed, which triggered a full-scale assault, with Lancaster crying out “Leave him alone” and then cradling her unconscious boyfriend in her lap.

The gang then set about her, according to another witness, a 15-year-old boy, who told police: “They were running over and just kicking her in the head and jumping up and down on her head.” Another 14-year-old girl said in a statement to detectives: “I started crying because I’d never seen anything like that. They were all just booting them. They were making loads of noises, screaming noises.

“They were booting them in the head swinging the leg back properly booting them, like jumping on them.”

Shorrock said paramedics who found the victims side by side said the assault was one of the worst they had seen. He said: “Their facial injuries were such that it was not immediately possible to tell which sex either casualty was. Miss Lancaster had blood all over her face and appeared to be bleeding from her ears.”

Maltby’s wallet and its contents were found strewn around bushes later, the court was told, while the gang ran off to a nearby petrol station and boasted to friends about what they had done.

Shorrock told the jury that a witness would describe how they were “behaving in a giddy way, hyperactive and bouncing around doing silly things”.

One of the teenagers offered him Maltby’s mobile phone, telling him: “We’ve just beaten someone up – do you want a phone?” Another said: “You wanna see them – they’re a right mess.”

A 14 year old girl was wandering the streets with a pack of violent underage hooligans a little before midnight and of course there was not a parent in sight. Nor a police officer even though the community had complained about the gang prior to the murder:

Brian Varley, who is from Rawtenstall and a member of the park’s bowling club, said that the park has become a haven for drunken, violent yobs.

He said: “It is devastating that an attack like this could happen in our area and my heart goes out to her family.

“As a community we need to look at what can be done to prevent anything like this from happening again.

“If we had park rangers then maybe then this tragedy might not have happened.

“For the last few months there has been beer cans and empty bottles thrown all over the bowling green on a Sunday.

“They vandalized the club house a few months ago and since then we have wanted Park Rangers to patrol the area like they have in Burnley.

“We have also asked for the park to be an alcohol control zone to help combat the problem but nothing has been done.”

Leader of the council Duncan Ruddick said: “It just would not be financially feasible to employ park rangers. It would cost us £150,000 to pay for rangers to patrol 24 hours a day for the year and that is just for one park, where would we get the money from?

“I think the real issue is why these teenagers were allowed to be out in the early hours of the morning unsupervised and drinking alcohol.”

Ruddick makes a fair point, but the English Model of cradle to grave government services hardly fosters a sense of responsibility for ones own self, much less ones children. That being the case the government cannot simply palm off the responsibility of keeping the community safe from the hellspawn created by their policies. The schools, Police and Children’s Services all dropped the ball on these monsters in the making, and should be more contrite.

England has produced a drug and alcohol fueled violent youth culture that far surpasses the excesses of we “barbaric” Americans. Even the English are aware of it, all except the politicians who refuse to take the necessary steps to curb the anarchy that is slowly engulfing the ruins of the Empire. A commenter from Devatology sums up the feelings of many Brits I’ve spoken to:

I’m a lad in my Thirties, who lives in a similar sized town to Bacup in Yorkshire, and my heart goes out to Sophie’s family & also Rob’s. I find it hard to believe what has happened to this couple, and I am sick and tired of those who say “society is no more violent than it was ten or twenty years ago, it’s just that these things are being reported more” BULLSHIT!

This simply is not true. When I was growing up, gangs of lads were NOT going around beating young women up & stamping on their heads.

Incidentally, whenever anyone had a fight, it was more often than not one-on-one, and with fists at that, not weapons. I’m not aware that this group of thugs used any weapons, but when you attack someone and they hit the deck and you not only carry on beating them, but also jump on their head you may as well have shot them at point-blank range.

I did not grow up in utopia, just a typical Northern town, like Bacup.

I usually abhor vigilantism, but if the CPS does not charge these scumbags with murder then I just hope everyone is made aware of their identities.

The Fabian years of England have ended in disaster in more ways than one, but the most obvious consequence to more than a decade of Labor domination is the rise of often cartoonishly violent crime among a state created class of miscreants who need not fear any punishment for their misdeeds.

Sophie Lancaster should be alive today. But it is not just the gang of monsters that stomped on her head until she bleed out of her ears that are responsible, although they should be incarcerated forever for the crime. The parents of those boys who raised them to become soulless monsters are guilty of her death. The town officials who didn’t step in to control that gang when they were made aware of the danger are guilty of her death. The English Justice system that treats murderers with kid gloves is also guilty of her death.

I hope that Sophie’s family and loved ones sue all these people and deliver some small justice to the killers and the forces that created them. And I hope that the American media stops ignoring a story of such inhuman brutality because it’s chic to pretend England is less violent than America. Sophie Lancaster deserves better.

If you have the stomach here’s some news reports about the case:

The Sun has some more coverage. Here’s a report detailing the horrendous injuries this innocent girl received.

There’s a MySpace tribute to Sophie that’s collecting funds for a memorial anti-violence program. Help out if you can.
