The Russian For ‘Robin Hood’ Is- Kalashnikov

In a statement to the IoS, a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesperson claimed that the new powers for forcing entry will be used only “as a last resort… in strictly controlled circumstances”, and only “once full independent regulation of all private-sector bailiffs has been implemented”. But it emerged last night that, despite bailiffs remaining unregulated, MoJ officials are proposing that they be allowed “to use reasonable force, restraint or violence against debtors thwarting the bailiff’s seizure of their goods”.

The “stranger originated life insurance” (Stoli) phenomenon – where senior citizens in the US have been targeted by the likes of hedge funds, which buy their life insurance and gamble on their untimely demise – promp-ted the City watchdog to conduct an inquiry in the UK.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) said that it found little evidence of the practice but, significantly, added that it was not necessarily illegal. “Our conclusion was that it would not be illegal in the UK as such,” said a spokesman, “though it is certainly not in keeping with the traditional basis of life insurance, where the beneficiary is normally a close relative of the insured party.

“There was some evidence in the US – never proven – that some people might have been incentivised to hurry up the demise of insured parties in order to get payouts. Of course, that can happen with traditional life insurance.”

Shhh, no one say murder. Now putting these two together I suppose bailiffs (latin name- scummus fuckus) might start insuring victims then killing them, then collecting the dosh, ever so ‘incentivised’. But regardless of such fanciful plots, again we find this Labour government no better than tories in enabling vicious capitalism to further degrade our society. But as the rich get richer and our poverty increases this will only continue as more oppressive violent power is given to agents of the state & capital to attack us, further enriching them and controlling us through fear.
