Police Federation Wants Cops To Get Stop And Search Powers Without 'Reasonable Suspicion'

'Paul McKeever, the head of the Police Federation of England and Wales, which represents 140,000 frontline officers, also expresses amazement that judges rarely impose the maximum four-year jail sentence for carrying a blade. In his first full interview since he took on the job in May, Mr McKeever told The Sunday Telegraph he wants to see it made easier for normal stop and search rules to be relaxed at times when trouble is brewing, so that officers on the street can stop and search without the usual "reasonable suspicion".'

Private Companies Could Get Access To Millions Of NHS Medical Records

'The Government is considering giving firms access to a massive computer database which will contain the records of almost every man, woman and child in England. The information is a goldmine for private companies, who could use it for medical research or for helping them to sell products to the NHS. But privacy campaigners say they are "horrified" by the proposals which could see patients' postcodes, medical conditions and treatments - and in some circumstances, their names - passed on to third parties without their consent'

Lollipop Ladies To be Equipped With Covert CCTV

'LOLLIPOP ladies across the country are to be equipped with cameras hidden in their poles after a spate of incidents in which drivers speed past them or beat them up. The cameras, activated when the pole touches the ground, are pointed at offending cars. The drivers can then be found and punished. Successful trials have been carried out by at least 10 local authorities ranging from Hillingdon, west London to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and Dudley, West Midlands. David Sparks, transport spokesman for the Local Government Association (LGA), said he expected all councils would buy the poles, which cost about £900 each.'

Health Chiefs Axe 200 beds... Then Fork Out £350,000 On 'Stop Smoking' Advisers

'Health service chiefs have been attacked for hiring 12 ‘smoking cessation’ advisers and managers on salaries of up to £38,300 only a year after it was announced that as many as 200 hospital beds were being cut to save money. Nine counsellors and three administrators are being paid a total of up to £350,000 a year to encourage Leicester’s estimated 68,000 smokers to quit. But critics say much of their work could be done far more cheaply by GPs, health visitors and district nurses who come into daily contact with smokers as part of their normal duties.'

Ammunition To Fight Mobile Phone Masts

People everywhere are waking up to the RF-induced misery from cell towers - then they fight back and win!
Common cell tower RF energy complaints include:
* Clusters of cancer
* Lack of sleep and insomnia
* Noises induced into the head and other health problems.

Several decades ago, mind control experiments proved that microwave energy
is detected by the brain.
Many are actively fighting these structures as cell companies attempt to place
them dangerously near schools, playgrounds and homes. Here are a few victory
stories from the USA and UK which prove that people are finally realizing these
health hazards and are fighting back:

An Ice Age Cometh

'Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously. All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.'
