Have a nice cup of tea, Mr Burglar and please don't say I hurt youBy Peter Hitchens

Get used to it. You are not safe in your own home. Just because only one judge has been silly enough to admit that he thinks burglars are brave, don�t think there aren�t hundreds more just the same.
They simply don�t have the courage to admit it. Some older judges, true, may still secretly disapprove of thieves. But they lack the principle to resign from a job where their main task is to keep criminals out of prison.
It�s the same with the police. I used to jeer that if the whole lot of them were abducted by aliens, nobody would notice. They�d vanished from our ken already.

Held in isolation: Tracey and Andy Ferrie were held by police for three days over the shooting of two burglars
But now they are completely in the grip of Equality and Diversity. They long for the chance to arrest someone for having the wrong thoughts about sex or religion, or for acting as if right and wrong still existed in this country.
One well-publicised couple, Tracey and Andrew Ferrie, have been released without charge after daring to defend their home against a violent and evil invasion.

But I beg you not to try it yourselves. Note that the Ferries spent three days in custody first, not far short of the real average prison sentence for a convicted criminal.
The police, the CPS and the courts still hate anyone who acts as if criminals are wrongdoers and as if they have an absolute right to their own property or peace.

VIEW FULL ARCHIVE .Note that Daniel Mansell (now awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to raiding the Ferries�s isolated home) was �jailed� for six years in February 2009. If such sentences had any relation to the truth he would not be at large. But all British prison sentences are whopping lies.
And if our prisons still punished instead of being lawless, drug-infested warehouses, Mansell would long ago have been taught the hard way that crime does not pay. As it is, he has a long career behind him of thieving and witness intimidation, and I would expect there�s a long career ahead of him too. How he must laugh at us.
And why not? I too laugh at our wobbling, jellified, whimpering apology for a criminal justice system. I hope I never need it, for I know it won�t help me or do justice to those who have wronged me.
But I fear that it will one day find a way of locking me up for expressing incorrect ideas. Partly for that reason I wouldn�t dream of lifting a finger to resist a burglar. I�d just give him a cup of tea and ask him to sign a declaration that I hadn�t hurt him. Otherwise it would be me in Belmarsh, and my burglar on the loose.
My favourite episode of British law and order dates from 1999 when some poor woman in rural Somerset had her car vandalised and went to the police. They wrote to her to say that the people who had damaged her car were victims too.
The epistle explained that the culprits were probably heroin �addicts� living in bad housing who had come from broken homes. It urged her to give a thought to those less fortunate than herself.
She said: �That�s just not what you expect from the police.� Well, it�s what I expect from them, and so should you if you have any sense.
Sometimes I wish they would just get on and proclaim the People�s Republic of Britain, strip away the sentimental decorations and the lingering reminders of the lost past, and do their worst.
Maybe then there would be a revolt against the self- righteous, smug elite who have turned us into a Land Fit For Burglars.

AND MORE TO THE POINT

Some religions are more equal...
What Christians in Britain have to understand is that this is not a Christian country any more. It�s no good going to the Court of Human Rights.
Harriet Harman�s Equalities Act 2010 (backed, as I ceaselessly remind you, by the Useless Tories and particularly by Mrs Theresa May) made all religions equal.

That means Christianity in this country has no greater legal status than Mormonism, Buddhism, Jainism or Scientology � and rather lower status than Islam, because our Government and Establishment are scared stiff of Islam.

Precisely because Christianity used to be dominant, that means that the authorities will seize every chance they can to take it down a peg or two.

This process is only just beginning. You�ll be amazed by how much more there is yet to come, in schools, laws, broadcasting, policing and � I hesitate to mention it, but it will come � the Coronation of our next Monarch.
