Mary Sear was determined to lead an active, independent life.
The widowed great-grandmother lived alone and went out in all weathers to do her shopping.
On the morning of her 96th birthday, she walked the half mile to her daughter's house to receive her cards and gifts from the family.
And on the way home, she was knocked to the ground as a mugger took her handbag.
He rifled through her birthday cards, shaking out the birthday money they contained.
Mrs Sear, from Harrow, North-West London, died of a heart attack six days later in hospital, where she was being treated for a broken hip and shoulder.
IF the case is officially classified as homicide, she could make history as Britain's oldest murder victim. Some consolation to her family eh?
Until now, Harrow, whose MP is Tony McNulty, had been considered one of London's safest boroughs (but that in itself is nothing to be proud of as all through the country violent crime is escalating and nowhere is as safe as it was just a few years ago)
The incident is further evidence of the burgeoning street crime which leaves the elderly in fear.
Conservative councillor Susan Hall described the attack as horrific.
"It is absolutely shocking, something we would never expect to happen here," she said.
"My personal view is that if you shock someone into death, that is the same as putting a gun to their head.
"This was an innocent old lady going about her business."
The mugging happened on Tuesday last week.
The day after, a man of 27 faced court accused of two robberies, including that of Mrs Sear.
Further charges could be considered following her death. A Scotland Yard source said that to mount a successful prosecution for murder, officers will have to establish a direct link between the robbery and Mrs Sear's death.
"It's difficult, but not impossible," said one. "Murder squad officers are on standby to deal with the case."
In a statement, Mrs Sear's heartbroken family said: "She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother who will be sorely missed."
The mugging left her in a terrible state. Until then she had been a perfectly independent lady.
"Although she was 96 she got about and visited her family. I saw her in hospital after the attack and she had a broken hip and was really bashed up."
It is way past the time when we should be dealing properly with lowlife scum like this 27 year old piece-of-shit. If a victim dies after a robbery then the criminal scum should be jailed for life. We have to much fannying around with this sort of thing, trying to make sure 110% that the poor criminal was directly responsible for the death. He robbed her, she died - end of story - jail him for life. Our liberal politicians will never bring back the death penalty, being more concerned with the rights and wants of the criminals, and to hell with the victims and their families! Its time this country got its guts back and started hanging drug-traffickers, terrorists, child killers and paedophiles as well as animals like the vermin who robbed and killed this 96 year old lady. Life should mean a minimum of 25 years not the paltry few years in a comfortable cell most end up serving. You should realise there is NO war on terror, NO war on crime - just soft soap as usual.
Sir Winston Churchill
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar."

Pegasus Bridge - June 6th 1944
The British 6th Airborne was given the task of securing the most easterly areas of the British landing beaches. This included the estuary of the River Orne and the Canal de Caen. This involved the capture and destruction of the German coastal battery at Merville, and the seizure, intact, of the two bridges at Benouville. One bridge spanned the river Orne and the other the Caen canal. It was vital these two bridges were captured intact to ensure the road inland was open for the advancing Allied Forces due to hit hit the beaches that morning.
The Divisional Commander, Major General Richard Gale decided to send in a special force of six gliders, carrying a force of 180 men. Three gliders would land and take the river bridge. The other three would land and take the canal bridge.For this mission the men of D Company, 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghampshire Light Infantry (Ox and Bucks) were selected along with Royal Engineers from 'B' company and pilots of the Glider Pilots Regiment.
Major John Howard and his men evacuated the glider as quickly as possible, and attacked the bridge. The German defenders were taken by surprise. Lieutenant Brotheridge who led the attack across the bridge was shot in the neck and became the first Allied soldier killed on D Day. The men from the other two gliders joined the battle and within 5 minutes the bridge was secured. Five men were wounded in the battle for the canal bridge.
Of the gliders which were designated for the Orne river bridge, two landed within 300 and 700 meters from the target and one missed completely. When the bridge was attacked it was found to be undefended, the German troops had fled.
The two bridges had to be secured and held until the rest of the 6th Airborne, which had parachuted in, could relieve the Ox and Bucks, which was no easy task as the Germans launched two ferocious counterattacks including armour (tanks) - this was soon put out of action by Sgt. Thornton using a PIAT (projectile-infantry-anti-tank) gun, from very close range. The paratroops finally arrived at 3.00a.m. to the relief of Major Howard and his men. A brilliant feat had been accomplished, the two bridges had been secured, the road-link was open, ready for the invading allied troops due to arrive from the beacheads.
When you think that the gliders were released from their tug aircraft at 5,000 ft. in darkness, using only maps and stop watches, it is understandable that it was described as the "Finest piece of airmanship of the war"

D-Day 6th June 1944 - Lest We Forget
Why do you still march old man,
With medals on your chest?
Why do you still grieve old man,
For those friends you laid to rest?
Why do your eyes gleam old man,
When you hear the bugles blow?
Tell me why you cry old man,
About those days so long ago?
I'll tell you why i march young man,
With medals on my chest,
I'll tell you why i grieve young man,
For those i laid to rest,
Through misty fields of gossamer silk,
Come visions of distant times,
When boys of tender age lost lives,
And all their mothers pined.
We buried them in a blanket shroud,
Their young flesh scorched and blackened,
In a communal grave, newly gouged,
In bloodstained gorse and bracken.
And you ask me why i march young man,
I march to remind you all,
That but for those apple blossom youths,
You'd never have known freedom at all.
Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) - English poet
"If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England. There shall be in that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven".
("The Soldier" - 1914)

Hydrophobia
Well, i am not quite foaming at the mouth but its surprising that i am not with the poisonous pro homo propaganda being taught to our youngsters. Schools here in Lincolnshire have rolled out a number of books extolling the "alternative" lifestyle "option" of homosexulaity. This filth is being peddled to children as young as four. Here in the sick and twisted minds of our so-called liberal government the normalisation of the abnormal and the abnormalisation of the normal is the order of the day. Speak out and you are immediately villified as "homophobic" (whatever the hell that means) and this is designed to make you feel the odd one out. The Bible describes homosexuality as an abomination (brings a whole new meaning to Sodom and Gommorah). Even the Muslims are anti (must have slipped past mohammed, that one). The fact is it does exist BUT that does not mean it should be promoted as normal. The main driver of life on earth is procreation - the survival of the species. This means having children, and however you dress up homosexuality, they cannot have offspring. Less than fifty years ago homosexuality was illegal in this country. This was beacause in those not so far off days the law of the land recognised homosexuality as wrong, in both the biblical and natural sense. Our government, a government with absolutely no moral compass, is failing our society by allowing an anything goes culture, with minority groups screaming for their "rights", and with never a thought for anything or anyone outside of their own small sphere of self gratification. The teaching of homosexuality in our schools, and anywhere else for that matter, is a direct contradiction of this countrys christian values and as such should be immediately removed from all curriculums and from all public exposure.

Holbeach Town Ward Results
It is under a year since Cllr Revd Robert West fled from the CONservatives as one of their District Councillors and found political asylum from Cameron's mind-bending 'political correctness' with the British National Party.
Now on 3rd May 2007 the Holbeach Town Ward Unit of the BNP contested the same three-Member ward and achieved 2000 votes for its three candidates whilst the Tories - with 3,000 votes - took all the three vacancies for the town. The Independents trailed with about 1,000 votes. Cheers of triumph resounded from the Tory side when it became clear that Revd West had failed to regain his seat, this time as a BNP candidate. However, elation soon turned to grimace as, on local TV and to the local press, the Revd graciously castigated the Conservative Party as leading this country to ruin; and pointed out - in his full clerical garb - how only the BNP could turn Britain round to achieve what is right and capture the values that made us what we are, what we once were; and what we should be in the futurre. There was no air of defeat about the Holbeach BNP Unit - far from it with such a result from nowhere and in such a short period of political time.
In the bigger scheme of things the result in Holbeach is a major success: it shows what can be done with dedication even in one of Toryland's safest seats and wards. Watch-out traitor-tory con-man: the BNP are here, and we are here to stay. But neither will we be resting on our laurels. Many lessons have been learnt and will continue to be learned in the next few months and years as we work for total victory in our country over the forces of wickedness which seek to engulf us.
The detailed breakdown was as follows:
Francis Biggadyke (Conservative) 1116
Rudkin (Conservative) 893
Michael Taylor (Conservative) 868
Tony Turner (BNP) 665
Rev Robert West (BNP) 650
Peter Chapman (BNP) 605
Michael Howard (Independent) 558
Warrender (Independent) 475
Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
"We shall go on till the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island what ever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches and we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We will never surrender".

D Day Minus 1 - 22 Hours and 56 minutes to go
We are almost at D Day for the elections. The ward has been swept three times, our people are tired but in good spirits. Tommorow will be a long and hard day for all patriots fighting to establish a beachead in council chambers throughout this land - our Britain! I wish to thank all decent men and women for the time and effort you have put in - from the street activists to the internet bloggers who have all contributed to the ongoing camapign to rescue our beloved islands from the wreckers we currently have in power. The polling stations open in less than 24 hours and we have our volunteers ready for the big push. Win or lose we have done all we can. Depending on the timing of the count i will post the results for our ward on Friday morning.
Gentlemen - Good Luck to you all!
I make no aplogies for re-using an old quote below.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot, Follow your spirit; and upon this charge Cry "God for Harry! England and Saint George".
(Henry V - Henry urges his men into the attack at the Siege of Harfleur)
