Toy tales
Is it just me or does everyone think our politicians should be careful how they grab a headline?
Yesterday Queensland’s Police Minister Judy Spence called on hospitals and charities to stop accepting toys from outlawed bikie gangs.
She said criminal bikie gangs run their annual toy runs in an effort to present an air of respectability – and she criticised the media for legitimising the toy runs through positive publicity. Is that true? Are the Rebels and the Coffin Cheaters really running a bras for breast cancer event this year?
Mix FM participates in the Ullysses Motor Cycle club toy run, every Christmas, and the last time I checked, this group of fine upstanding citizens wasn’t running drugs and guns between times.
I am no fan of outlawed bikie gangs – I think they are violent cowards with Mummy issues and I wish Ms Spence all the luck in the world putting them out of business, but in NO place that I’ve EVER lived have these groups been running toy drives.
Ullysses Motor Cycle club on the other hand is a group of warm caring law abiding citizens….who happen to like motorbikes.
I think being a politician is a tough gig and I’m usually loathe to criticise them, but Come on Judy! That gaff was not only ungrateful and insulting to a generous caring group of people but I think it made you look like a complete dill.
And I got this reply....From a guy called Ray
Caroline,on "Is it only me" this morning I heard critisism of the Outlaw Bikers for giving toys to underprivilaged children, this is done for no reason other to repay a grattitude for the toys many of them recieved a lifetime ago.I am one of the organisers of The Daniel Morcombe Ride, on the 2004 & 2006 ride these 'Outlaws' turned up in their hundreds to support the Leave Our Kids Alone message.Angels they may not be,but what you see is what you get, under suit you just dont know what's there, what I can tell you is if I was a young mother and my child was in distress, I'd go for the Black Leather everytime, and I guarantee you that your child would be safely back with you, and the person responsibe for your distress, would be tucked up in bed and learning to enjoy Hospital food through a straw.
