Shortly after 11pm on Friday 29 May 2009, police were called to a house on Bancroft Road, following a report of men trying to break in.

Officers attended the scene and found that the front door of the house had been shot at.

Shotgun cartridges were recovered from the scene.

Nobody was injured in the incident, but police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

The two offenders are described as being white men, around 18-years-old. They were wearing dark hooded tops.

Don’t need this in Swinton i hope the police find the culprits..

More Bits from Cllr John Warmishams Blog vol10

Just read Geoff Ainsworths letter in the Advertiser attacking Norman Owen, plus other LD members comparing him to Brian Potter. Et Tu, Brute.

Made me smile after reading this.

On a more serious note John I fully endorse you comments on MP’s expenses.

16 weeks later the tree growing out of the roof is no more.

Thank you

City west for sorting this, out the roofs being fixed, banisters in place and the back rooms being plastered.

Just called in to the shop?

 Come on i have had to fight to get a disabled mans ticket rescinded from the company who owns this site, what’s good for the goose? and no don’t come back telling me you where on the job.

Norman Owen, prophet of doom

David Cameron has just said Bill Cash has some ‘very serious questions’ to answer over claiming more than £15,000 to pay the rent on his daughter’s Notting Hill flat.

I’ll say.

At the time Mr Cash was apparently living in the flat – even though he owned another property, closer to Westminster – daughter Laetitia was on the campaign trail in Salford, where she was challenging Hazel Blears.

She lost.

Here’s a picture from the count:

Look closely at Norman Owen in the middle, staring into the future. It’s as if he knew what was going to happen to the women on his left and right…

What are Hazels chances.

Speaking to many of the residents and  the key topic was Hazel Blears.Do i think Bell will stand? who knows but who ever stands i think Hazel is dead in the water.

Child sex offenders avoid prison

 

Six convicted child rapists were not imprisoned in 2007, according to statistics from the Ministry of Justice. [29 May 2009]

Two paedophiles were given suspended sentences for sex attacks on children aged under 13. A further four offenders were given community sentences. There are concerns that judges are being pressurised into not jailing offenders because of overcrowding.

Life imprisonment for rape

The maximum jail term for anyone found guilty of rape or attempted rape is life imprisonment. Sentencing guidelines also suggest that attackers who are older than their victims should receive substantial prison terms. A non-custodial sentence should only be handed out in “exceptional” circumstances if the offender is a youth. In all of these cases, offenders were aged over 21 and their victims under 13.

 

Comment overcrowding in prison? this sort of crime is beyond belief. What have we become when people can escape punishment. Liberal yes but this form of behavior is all to common. I have just had the blessing of a grandaughter and my concerns is lasting long enough on the earth to see her grow and enjoy life.These people should suffer the maximum punishment our system allows us to administer. Or  possible short term sentences of six months in a cell and inform the other inmates what he as done.
