Planking Twats!




So Planking is fun? Yes it may be popular, Yes you may want the 'best' planking picture. Honestly can you say that any plank is worth your life or the possible loss of another's?
The picture up top shows what could have been the loss of life's, if I had been driving underneath that I may have just taken my eyes away from the road for that split second and died - or killed another. These people should be jailed for putting the lifes of the public at risk.
I have heard of people planking on top of car's while they are being driven - People this is dangerous driving, Fun or not you could cause an accident!
The latest caze in Russia is being buried alive overnight and given air holes, someone just died as it rained on the night he done it - Come on it's a craze everyone, as is planking and both are dangerous, but I bet half the so called 'Planker Wankers' will not be as keen to take up on this craze.
Planking is not cool, it makes you look like a big kid that need's a good slap for being so stupid - Here is hoping the planking craze die's before more people die in either in the process of planking or die as a result of a planker.

Quest for Justice

Reading BBC News and I came across a piece on Ameneh Bahrami's fight for Justice, she is the victim of a vicious Acid attack that took place in Iran. As she had been blinded the Iranian courts ordered that her attacker blinded yet the punishment has not taken place yet. Piece Here

Human rights organisations have decided to raise their ugly heads and deem it as Inhuman and cruel, was it not inhuman and cruel when Majeed Movahidi threw acid in Ameneh Bahrami's face?

I really dislike Human rights organisation's as they always fight for the right of those who are in the wrong, you never hear them shouting from the roof tops about those who have been withheld justice when they were infact due it.

I do hope Ameneh Bahrami gets her Justice, as, as she says "If I forgive, I get nothing for forgiveness," - "The same if I take his eyesight, I get nothing. But I want people like Majeed to know that there is punishment." which I can fully agree with. Ameneh would send out such a message if his punishment is carried out, she may in fact be someone who contributes to these vicious acid attacks coming to a hault.

We could all learn something from Ameneh, when faced with such difficulties and change in her life, she is still such a strong person and knows what she wants. Understanding that these attacks will carry on if a clear message is not sent out to these future acid attackers.

If only we could do half of what Ameneh is suggesting and actually lock wrong doers behind bar's, rather than shying away from it - if we locked up even half the wrong doers it would be an improvement on current statistics.

Good Luck Ameneh, I hope you find peace one day with what has been inflicted upon you x

The Petition

My Six year old reminded me yesterday, that you don't need to go it on your own to prove yourself. She is 'thought' to have Dysphraxia, though we are not certain nor is any of the health professionals. She told me she was embarrassed around her friends that she could not speak properly, but then went on to explain that although she may be embarrassed she was happy receiving help.
Now I tend to get embarrassed, I have very low self confidence, in my writing skill especially. I tend to ramble and when I get face to face with someone I do not know I tend to get very shy.
Writing a petition was quite difficult, every time I wrote something down I felt like I was not making sense. To put it out to yourself made me cringe as I always feel something can sound better, but I need help - I need help to convince people that it is unfare and that we deserve better. My daughter is very smart - and I guess she somehow egged me on to ask you all for help even If I dislike my writting skills.

So - Please Sign the petition the link is on the page or you can just click here - Petition. Thanks In advance.x

Cleary the Middle man isn't working

We put our faith the law, we rely on it for Justice. Rather than seeking that justice ourselves we rely on the law, the court's the lawyers, but this middle man is lazy. That is to say he may be lazy, but if we were to go out and seek revenge ourselves his ugly head would raise and we'd be the one in trouble.
We must accept what the middle man says, even if we think he has done a terrible job apparently. Should we? Just sit here and take that from the Justice system that is designed to get us Justice?
Should we accept this unfair trial! Well the Criminals don't need to accept it, if they feel they were locked up for no good reason they can appeal but US the Innocent families do not have that right - we are told to be quiet! I do not feel this man, this system is actually the middle man, he is more like the quarter line man sitting further beside the criminal that he is the innocent family.
I would really love to hear from you lot out there, I would love to know that I am not the only one who feel's we, the innocent families should be sitting here accepting that the middle man has became the quarter man - who works for the criminal and shy's away when the innocent questions why they did not get Justice.

I would love to find others out there - who would march to through Edinburgh or London to show that we deserve a better Justice System which does not only work in favor of the crook! .. I would love to hear opinion.

Restorative Justice



They say restorative justice works wonder's it help's those who have been effected by a crime ask the criminal why they done it, and basically they get the opportunity to show the criminal exactly how they have effected there life. The criminal also gets 'shocked' into seeing how their actions have caused more than just a death (Etc)

So what about us who never got Justice, Us who should have been given the opportunity to be proud of the justice system and were denied that right? We don't get to use this 'Restorative Justice' .. we don't get Justice and we do not get to show the Criminal what they done - Because the Court/Jury Acquitted them, the people who really have no clue as to how it effects the innocent got to Acquit the Criminal and to carry on with their business while us the Innocent got more than we ever expected, We got to Loss a family member, we may have got to watch other family members in pain, we got to arrange a funeral, we got to sit with our thoughts, and we got to watch a criminal smile while walking the path to freedom. (etc)

So seriously, we get to sit and wonder each day if the person thinks about what they done, what they caused. We get to know they are out their living their life while we are living a life we would not have been living if it were not for their careless actions. AND we do not even get access to Restorative Justice .. Which to me would be a rather grand happening - I would love to sit across from the man who killed my mother and ask him Why .... But I am not even sure I am allowed to contact him - and even if I were would he be able to say I was hassling him, get to call the police and possibly take me up on charges for asking him Why he done it - Well we never know these days - Possibly. I would love to do it in a legal setting but I guess us innocent families who get the rough side of the stick do not get any Pro's. We all but get to sit and wonder what we ever done to deserve this ...

So I put the question out to you - What Justice? Is there any? I have yet to see it ...

Why not just - move on?

 (See how they Lie - Yet no one seem's to mind - It was an 'Accident')

I want to see a change in the Justice System, a Change in people's attitudes to the Victims familes who have lost someone due to a dangerous driver, yet people scratch their head as to why - 
I get this from time to time, people saying 'It's over', 'Your never going to get anywhere'. The best one has got to have been the Procurator Fiscal for the Arbroath/Forfar Area decided to tell me that I was being a bad mother by trying to fight them on this. How this works I have no idea and how she would know again I have no idea, this is almost part time as not only do you have to wait on letters and phone calls back - Finding someone that will actually talk to you is a hell of a task.
It's again that word the 'Accident' word that makes people wonder, that word is the plague of it all, it minimizes what the dangerous driver or careless driver has done. I want to erase the word 'Car Accident' from use if the driver has killed or seriously injured someone.
I came across a group yesterday 'The Forgiveness Project' they feel that we should forgive those who have wronged us IE One story they use is a woman who forgave her son's killer, and I do not know the background of the people running it so I will not say that they have no idea what it is like. What I will say is everyone has a different story, and everyone is different in the way they cope - so forgiveness is not for everyone. Another thing the forgiveness group mentions is it is good for your health to forgive and I'd agree to this, I had a whole lot of anger pent up inside and still do - But it is hard to forgive when you feel like it is a betrayal to the one you lost. Personally I have more anger towards the system who denied me and my family justice. The anger is mainly directed at the fact a not proven verdict can never have another chance at being proven, and that the double jeopardy bill which should have been brought in to help people who feel they did not get the justice they deserved due to lies, and false defense.
The forgiveness Project is doing a talk on 'No Forgiveness without Justice?' Which I would love to attend as this is rather true, I do not think I will ever forgive fully but if I got some justice it would go a long way to helping me let go. I feel that if the person who has wronged admitted guilt, and took the punishment then it would be easier to forgive but when they put in the plea of not guilty when they are blatantly guilty then it is a slap across the face for the family they have wronged.
Moving on will take me changing the system, and changing how people think. Making Society and MSP's/MP's look at what needs changed, and how attitudes make the innocent families of victims feel like there is no one to turn to, no one to listen. Every time I have sent a letter, I have got nothing but a list of why thing's were not done differently, but I want a list of what I can do to change it - As a letter telling me things cannot be different is not going to stop me pursing this.
