There are a couple of things I could write about today. I could say how galled I am to see CaMoron lapping up being a statesman with Obama, as if he deserves to be there. That should be a real prime minister representing our country in Washington, not some smug, unelected Tory jackass. But I suppose, putting my serious head on, the bigger picture is that the special relationship is obviously alive and well, which must be a good thing for the UK. Mind you, I could also write about being just as galled to see nick clegg at PMQs, lying, dissembling and betraying a once great political party for the sake of his own power. The sight of that wretched worm trying to justly his actions in propping up an unelected, failed government fills me with total contempt. His presence in it insults the party of Lloyd George and Asquith.

However, I was watching the news earlier when something which pissed me off even more caught my eye. The metropolitan police have been found guilty of assaulting a sixteen-year-old boy with severe autism and learning difficulties. Now, I don’t know the specifics of the case – it seems that the boy refused to get out of the pool, the cops were called, and they used quite a lot of force to restrain the boy and get him out. I can’t say whether the force was justified, although I doubt it; what gets me, though, is the fact that they are appealing the verdict. If they didn’t realise the boy was autistic and assumed he was just being unruly, then fair enough, they made a mistake – apologise, pay the compensation and move on. But by appealing, the cops are saying that they think they were right to use such force even if the boy has autism, which strikes me as extremely arrogant and disdainful of disability rights. They are saying they don’t give a rats about this boys disability, they should be free to act as brutally as they want. As I say I don’t know much about this case – I don’t know what this kid was doing – but surely the MET are at least guilty of a lack disability awareness and a refusal to acknowledge the severe harm they may have done to this boy.
