Sentencing of paedophiles

 The UK news this morning tells of a young girl groomed on line by a 46 year old paedophile posing as a sixteen year old. Why is this allowed to continue? Seven years ago this blog suggested a remedy. See:

This man was imprisoned, released and reoffended causing LIFE-long distress to his victims. He and all the others should at the very least be physically castrated but preferably executed as a warning to others. Do not ruin childhoods and lives. EVER. 

The meaning of 'mafia'.

 I have previously suggested that at least two of the laws of Islam bear some resemblance to those of the Mafia.

Further to my knowledge I learn from Puzo, in his book 'The Sicilian' that the word 'mafia' in Arabic means place of sanctuary and the concept of 'omerta' came to Sicily in the tenth century with the Saracens. 

If the UK authorities take measures to stop the influence of the Mafia I don't suppose they'd do the same ........ No. 

I don't think so!

The Afghan Monarchy

 As Afghanistan starts life as an Islamic Republic under the Taliban, I am reminded that not so long ago the Country was a monarchy. I have written previously, 

(see: https://www.kevilldavies.com/2011/02/monarchy.html ) of my belief that a sound and established constitutional monarchy such as exists in the United Kingdom represents the best basis for stable governance of a Country and its people. I wonder how many Afghans mightily wish they had such a future with a chance of a peaceful life with the hope of prosperity and the freedom to enjoy it.

I wish the people of Afghanistan all the best.
