Great Britain's Slow Surrender To Islam - Descent Into Oblivion Continues

The adoption of some aspects of Islamic law into its legal system is just one of a multitude of methods employed by the political establishment to reduce Great Britain from one of history's greatest superpowers, who's contribution to civilization is inestimable, into an upper class version of a third world country.

In order to better understand this issue one must first look at the type of person that masquerades as a politician these days together with their Modus Operandi.

Parliamentary representatives and their attendant bureaucrats no longer come from a broad spectrum of people who have spent a lifetime in the real world and who then went on to use that experience for the benefit of society with a period of public service.

Today's political elite hail from the same flawed gene pool who exiled themselves from the real world when they entered party politics straight from school. Regardless of party, they look the same, they talk the same and they all communicate with the public by using centrally issued slogans and sound bites.

As a political class they are indistinguishable from each other and when it comes to the major issues that are of most concern to the British people; they share the same agenda.

All the party leaders and their senior officers are Europhiles who are committed to handing over British sovereignty to the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels and they are all committed to the destruction of the British way of life in favour of a mythical 'multi-cultural society'

In an attempt to make this a fait accompli, the President of the Law society, a Mr. Nicholas Fluck, talks as if its already here. He justified this assault on this historic mainstay of British life by stating that "we live in a diverse, multi-faith, multi-cultural society".

What Mr. Fluck failed to do was enter the multitude of Sharia controlled ghettos that blight our country and inform the Muslim minority of this fact.

The governments Modus Operandi consists of setting a precedent or point of law using spin, deceit, obfuscation and lies.  Once the precedent is established they expand it and slowly increase its scope using stealth and more deceit.

The adoption of Islamic principles into British law is part of a long planned corruption of Great Britain's historic criminal justice system which, in turn, is part of the larger destruction agenda. It is being spun as a minor alteration of little significance but in truth the destructive consequences are enormous and should be resisted.

British law has evolved over centuries from Ethelred the Unready, Alfred the Great and the Magna Carta, to the blind folded Lady Justice with her scales and sword that we have today. Central to the British system is equality under the law for everyone regardless of gender or family status. This is not possible where Islam and its adherents are concerned.

Giving Islam cultural and moral equivalence to the British Judeo-Christian heritage is central to the ethnic cleansing agenda of the political establishment.  Anyone with an iota of intelligence can see that it isn't equivalent and never will be.

Looking at the violent events in today's world it is obvious that Islam and the majority of its adherents are incompatible with western civilization, particularly those civilisations with a Judeo-Christian heritage and moral code.

The majority of Muslims in Great Britain hail from Pakistan where the persecution and killing of Christians is embedded in their culture and legal system. It was the former President of Pakistan, General Musharraf, the supposed ally of the west, who extended the anti-Christian laws to include the death penalty.

Paedophilia is abhorrent in any civilised society but is an accepted practice in Islam. The police, the establishment and the criminal justice system have all ignored this barbaric practice supposedly in the interests of 'cultural sensitivity' and 'community cohesion'.

Great Britain's animal cruelty laws are routinely ignored to facilitate the provision of halal meat.

The political class are desperately trying to promote Islam as a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a few radicals, but this is a calculated deceit and one which doesn't stand up to the slightest scrutiny.

Here is a list of Muslim attacks on Christians around the world that the establishment would rather the British people didn't see.

According to the political establishment, including the former Archbishop of Canterbury,  the adoption of Islam and Sharia law is 'unavoidable' even though there are less than three million Muslims in a country of some sixty five million souls.

In desperation the government are using threats, intimidation, political correctness and the law to silence any critics of Islam and those that expose their policy to make it an acceptable, integral part of British life.

Unsurprisingly, the BBC, despite being publicly funded, acts as a mouthpiece for the government and willingly disseminates its pro Muslim propaganda.  There is no justifiable reason why a government propaganda department should be funded by the people under threat of prosecution and imprisonment.

In conclusion its worth noting that un-homogenizing, cultural replacement and multi-culturalism only travels in one direction, it only applies to the Angloshpere.

Multi-culturalism is touted as being 'progressive' and it is promoted as being desirable and a force for peace, if so then it should apply to all countries, including those in the Middle East and Africa together with China, Japan, Korea or the Indian sub continent.

It is time to redress the balance, therefore in the interests of fairness and reciprocation the British government, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Mr. Nicholas Fluck should insist that Christian legal protections be incorporated into the legal systems of the above mentioned countries.

All mosque building in Great Britain and the west should cease until the slaughter of non Muslims is stopped and churches are built in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Muslim world.

Why the government uses Islam and its adherents as a front for their cultural replacement agenda is open to further debate but it must be recognized that if they get their way and continue on this destructive course, the Tigris will indeed flow with much blood.

Offended Immigrant Sues Jeremy Clarkson And Wants BBC To Drop Top Gear

One of the endearing characteristics of the long suffering British people is their placid acceptance of ingrates who have abandoned their home countries to enjoy the benefits of British hospitality then do nothing but complain about the host nation's way of life when it doesn't meet their expectations.

News that a little known Indian actress is suing Jeremy Clarkson and the BBC for a perceived insult to an ethnic group of which she does not belong should come as no surprise to anyone outside of the political correctness industry. It is also beyond obvious why this particular ingrate is taking the action that she is.

To say that Somi Guha's film career is non existent would be an understatement.  When the opportunity arose to make some easy money, and enhance her public profile in the process, she must have thought it was her birthday and Diwali rolled into one. The photograph that was used to front this lawsuit was hardly that of a grossly offended victim of bigotry but more of a failed actress using the best image in her portfolio to attract attention.

The lawsuit itself doesn't smell right. It claims that Ms. Guha has instructed lawyers at the trendy, 'right on' law firm Equal Justice, to sue Clarkson and the BBC for a million pounds.

Firstly, the alleged insult used the word 'slope' which refers to those of East Asian origin such as Japanese, Vietnamese or, as in this case, Burmese - she herself is an Indian therefore there are no grounds for her to be offended.

Secondly, where a little known actress gets the money to instigate a law suit is a mystery. She cannot possibly be offended to the point that she would risk her own treasure unless she was put up to it by a vested interest willing to fill her coffers and raise her public profile in order to censor Jeremy Clarkson.

For her information, Top Gear is one of the most popular programmes on the planet and Jeremy Clarkson one of the most popular presenters. The programme uses laddish or schoolboy humour and everyone knows it is irreverent and non politically correct.  If this is not to Ms. Guha's liking then she shouldn't watch it.

Switching off or changing channels is one of the benefits of living in a free country and it can be achieved using a remote control from the comfort of ones own armchair.

Immigrants demanding that the British people change their way of life and their attitudes in order to accommodate theirs has resulted in any Tom, Dick or Abdul taking action against the very people who gave them sanctuary and the opportunity to enjoy a better life than in their home country.

It is sad to note that oppressive political correctness, 'hate crime' laws and intimidation by organized smear units, prevents the majority of British people from revealing what they really think.  Being a dissenter I refuse to be intimidated by the establishment and I couldn't care less about being prosecuted.

However much I am vilified and accused of being a racist, I am not one;  I just happen to disagree with the current political class about open border mass immigration and I do not believe there is such a thing as a functioning multi-cultural society.

In the interests of community cohesion and cultural enrichment, I will try to help Ms. Guha, and other immigrants, to understand some of the harmless quirks of the British people that they should accept as guests. If they intend to settle in Great Britain they should adopt these little quirks and pass them on to future generations.

We British are self deprecating, we laugh and poke fun at each other, we call each other names and are not offended. We were brought up with a proverb which they should teach their own children:

"Sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me".

If you plan to settle in Great Britain I suggest you get used to it - its what we do, its part of our national character, its who we are and no amount of litigation, legislation or whining will change it. If you can't accept it then maybe Great Britain is not the place for you.

Here is a list of names and cat calls where no malice is intended and no offence is taken until the PC police undertook to impose their multi-cultural agenda:

Scottish people - Jocks, Tartan Terrorists, Ginger Mingers, Wife beaters

English people - Limeys (also generic British when abroad), Whinging Poms (By Australians) Stick your f*cking chariots up your a*rse is a quaint Welsh rugby chant.

Welsh people - Taffy's, Pit Boys, Pit Ponies. Morlocks, and my particular favourite, Sheep Sh*ggers.( This is my own ethnic group, I have been called all of these names and worse and never taken offence)

North East English People - Geordies

Liverpool people - Scousers

Then there's Mancs, Brummies, Kentish Men and Men of Kent.

Irish people - Paddy's, Bog Hoppers, Leprechauns, Micks

American people - Yanks, Sceptics ( rhyming slang based on sceptic tank)

Jewish people - Yids or 4x2's ( Rhyming slang again)

Gypsies - Gypos, Pikies and Didicoys for the flower selling variety.

British people never go for a Chinese meal, they always go for a Chinky.

No ethnic group should be surprised or offended if the indigenous British people give them a nickname.

Sledging and name calling on the field of sport is legendary and some of it is hair curling stuff. Listening to what Mohamed Ali called his opponents would send the serially offended running to their lawyers in fits of apoplexy wanting financial compensation for their own hurt feelings.

There are also names, some unflattering, for tall people, short, fat, thin, fast, slow and so on.

One of the more irritating aspects of the serially offended community is their taking of offence on behalf of other people who are not themselves offended. This gives the said community blanket coverage to be permanently offended and therefore an opportunity to impose political correctness, Cultural Marxism to give it its proper name,  and in effect censor unorthodox opinions.

One would have thought that being an Indian, and an actress to boot, she would make sure that her own house was in order before entering someone else's demanding they change their ways.

Bollywood, the world famous Indian film industry is renown for offending and insulting minorities particularly Sikhs and Muslims with women being a particular target.

It is not racist of me to suggest that Ms.Guha return to her native land and sue her socks off to end discrimination against women, lower caste people and immigrants who, incidentally, are only trying to make a living.

One of the most discriminated against minorities are Christians who unjustly make up six percent of India's prison population.

Excuses for Ms.Guha to issue law suits are in abundance in India where discrimination on the basis of gender and caste is legendary. Offensive and insulting names such as Dalit and Harijan are in common usage - Gandhi himself objected to the names, Harijan and Untouchables, being used for his fellow Indian citizens.

Ms. Guha could be offended and sue on behalf of the African community in Mumbai who are on the receiving end of appalling abuse and discrimination. Read the story of Nigerian Sambo Davis here.

Incidentally, referring to an African gentleman as 'Sambo' is taboo and grounds for a law suit so please Ms. Guha, instruct your lawyers to sue away.

The fact is that according to The Hindu newspaper,  Somi Guha's home country is rife with racism, discrimination and name calling so with that in mind I will articulate what the majority of British people are thinking; before you start agitating on your own or a vested interests behalf to change the British people's way of life, you should go back to your own country and put that right first.

Stephen Kinnock - Hereditary Socialists, Exclusion And Self Flagelation

Children who partake in destructive behavior toward themselves or others are usually diagnosed as having some disorder or other that requires medication to keep its symptoms under control. When whole communities numbering in the tens of thousands engage in similar destructive behavior there doesn't appear to be any pharmaceutical product on the market that could effect such a cure for so many.

Looking at the imposition of Stephen Kinnock as the next Member of Parliament for the people of Aberavon, one has to wonder what it will take for the people to alter their self harming behavior, even when some relatively minor alterations would have beneficial effects on their own and their children's future.

The circumstances surrounding the appointment of Stephen Kinnock, and the stench of political patronage it has left in its wake, deserves closer examination, as does the patronising attitude of the Labour party's political establishment toward the people of this constituency.

The people of Aberavon are obviously unaware of the destructive nature of their tribal voting habits and also the fact that by turning their constituency into a single party state they are effectively disenfranchising themselves.

The people need to understand that today's politicians are unscrupulous, unprincipled placemen who are trained in the black arts of media manipulation, spinning and lying. They have no interest in democracy or representing the people, their only interest is in their own agenda or that of the vested interest they represent.

Stephen Kinnock is a wealthy career bureaucrat who has achieved little in life using his own personal skills or resources. It would appear that he has trailed along on his parents coat tails benefiting from the power and influence they accumulated while in public office.

He may have been born in Wales but he was brought up in London, went to University in Cambridge then spent his formative years breathing the rarefied air of Brussels. He has had very little to do with Great Britain or its people and absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Wales, Aberavon or the working class.

The people of Aberavon are being intellectually lazy by not educating themselves on the motives of the modern day Labour party, nor are they scrutinizing the man who is being dumped on them by an exclusive London based elite of millionaire socialists who have seized control of the Labour movement.

They are incorrectly assuming that this is the same Labour movement that was formed during the industrial revolution. This movement was created by working people with a view to improving the condition of the masses and it was based on the Christian principle of the brotherhood of man.

Today, only four percent of Labour MP's come from the working class with the rest hailing from a wealthy metropolitan elite who have replaced the Christian roots of the party and its mission with a trendy, international 'progressive' agenda.

The powerful inner circle of the working class movement is closed to outsiders, especially working class people, who are deliberately excluded. Any lingering members of the working class in Parliament are powerless curiosities who will be replaced at the next election with elitists such as Stephen Kinnock.

The determination of the current leadership to keep control of the movement in perpetuity can be illustrated by the dynastic attitude to 'safe' seats. The socialist distaste for the hereditary principle is conveniently sidelined as the ruling elite parachute family members into constituencies populated by undiscerning tribal voters.

Apart from the London centric Kinnock, the born and bred Londoner, Hillary Benn, is the fourth generation of the Benn family to become an MP when he was dumped on the undiscerning people of Leeds.

Born and bred Londoner, Jack Dromey, was dumped on the people of Birmingham despite the constituency having an all woman shortlist. Dromey is the husband of senior Labour party stalwart, Harriet Harman. Apparently, their son Harry is on the look out for some dumb voters to represent.

Essex born Jack Straw was dumped in Blackburn and now is son William is being lined up with a 'safe' seat Lancashire.

Welsh Born John Prescott's son David is on the list, as is Tony Blair's son Euan who, despite being born and bred in London, has decided he would like to represent the people of Coventry.

All these prospective candidates have several things in common:

They are all from a wealthy elite.

None of them has ever had a proper job that normal people would consider as work.

None of them know the first thing about the working class, their hopes or their aspirations.

None of them can identify with working class people.

None of them will know anything about the constituency they will be representing nor will they care.

As they pursue their personal agenda, they will maintain the status quo in the constituency. If it is a poor constituency, it will remain poor.

After the last disastrous Labour government left the country bankrupt and transformed beyond recognition, it's a mystery why electors would self flagellate and vote for more of the same.

The people of Aberavon should learn from other tribal voting areas that their loyalty (some have described it as bovine stupidity) will be abused and their interests will not be a priority for Kinnock. They only need to look at the behavior of his parents and the way they treated the people they were supposed to be representing.

The Kinnock family are notorious in British politics for being the first family of troughing - for the uninitiated that means they have a penchant for lining their pockets with tax payers money - and also for being two of the biggest practitioners of socialist hypocrisy on the planet.

The mother of the clan is Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead, formally known as Glenys Kinnock. In complete contradiction to the spin doctors image of a dutiful wife, mother, school teacher and tireless advocate for the poor, she is a ruthless socialist dedicated to spreading her ideology across the planet.

The truth about Glenys Kinnock here.

The patriarch of the clan is Lord Kinnock of Bedwellty, formally know as Neil Kinnock. He is a serial loser who has no qualifications or accomplishments, but through patronage and corruption he made it to the top of the European Union bureaucracy making himself a multi million pound fortune in the process.

It is worth noting that Neil Kinnock was a career socialist politician who never won a general election as leader of the Labour party, he has never held a position in government nor has he any accomplishments or experience in the wealth creating sector. His fortune is made up mostly of taxpayers money he accumulated from lucrative appointments in the EU, his appointment to the House of Lords and sinecures from other contacts he made while in public office.

The truth about Neil Kinnock here.

There must be something in the water in that neck of the woods that separates people from their common sense. In the neighbouring constituency of Neath and Port Talbot, they embarrassed the whole of Wales by electing and re-electing the biggest political charlatan of them all.

The South African coward Peter Hain ran away from his native land, abandoning his comrades to their fate and he now has the temerity to associate himself with the fall of apartheid.

The truth about tribal voting and Peter Hain here and here.

Another tribal voting post here.

The people of Aberavon and other tribal voting areas should do themselves and their country a favour, wake up, learn to think for yourselves and ignore the Labour party elite.

Choose your own candidate from among yourselves, surely there is someone from within your own community that can represent the interests of the people better than a remote elitist who knows nothing about Aberavon or its people and who's only interest is the agenda of the international elite and their vested interests.   

For The European Union To Live Great Britain Must Die - The End Is Nigh Part III

It seems that whenever a British politician wants to get their name in the papers or their face on the television news bulletins all they have to do is propose something that is in the interest of the British people - they don't have to actually carry it out, just a mere mention is usually enough to trigger a chastising response from whatever European bureaucrat is policing British dissent that particular day.

These Eurocrats ought to know by now that all of these proposals are false promises that are made to appease the people's anger at the latest destructive EU diktat or a ploy to gain their votes at election time.

They should also know that the British political leadership are just as committed to 'ever closer union' and the federal superstate as they are, but it still makes them queasy when they see politicians reacting to the wishes of the people even though they know its all lies and bluster.

It's a measure of how much sovereignty the British political class has surrendered when not just the big hitters of the EU such as Angela Merkel, but political pygmies from any two penny nation feel they can lecture the British Prime Minister whenever he mentions anything that might be in the interests of the people he is supposed to be representing.

Who would have thought that a political pygmy named Herman von Rumpuy, an unheard of bureaucrat from a non entity of a country like Belgium, would tell the people of Great Britain that their country is finished as an independent nation state?

And who would have thought that Jose Manuel Barrosso, a self confessed Maoist from a bankrupt backwater like Portugal would threaten the British people with war if they left the EU?

Then there's Laszio Andros, a Hungarian communist apparatchik, who called the British people prejudiced and xenophobic because they don't want the services that they have paid for with their taxes, overrun by economic migrants from countries that were made destitute by Soviet communism.

Joining the queue to lecture the British people are Viviane Reding from tiny Luxembourg, Ollie Rhen from Finland, Mark Rutte from Holland and even some chap called Aligurdus Balevioius from Lithuania.

(See a previous post on these interfering nobody's here)

It is worth noting that all these bureaucrats  have two things in common:

a) None of them have been elected - they are all appointed by their fellow bureaucrats to positions of power and they cannot be removed by the people no matter how destructive they are or no matter what damage they may inflict.

b) They all want to see Great Britain de-homogenized and reduced to a multi-cultural province of the United States of Europe.

Any visitor or tourist to Great Britain will see that its culture and its unique way of life are being systematically destroyed at the behest of the supranational 'progressive' elite, led by these aforementioned bureaucrats of European Union and others from elsewhere, including the UN.

(This is undeniable as a visit to any village, town or city will attest - in some areas the indigenous population have been totally replaced and they are now unrecognizable as parts of Great Britain)

This raises a couple of questions upon which the survival of the British nation and its way of life now depends:

Great Britain has a population of some sixty two million, which is nothing compared to the EU population of over five hundred million, so why is it so important to the Eurocrats that Great Britain be destroyed in this manner? 

Notwithstanding the sixty million pounds of taxpayers money per day they purloin to finance their thievery and corruption, surely the EU would be better off without the destabilizing influence of the British, so why not let them go and rot on their tiny windswept island?

Looking at the recent events in Europe and taking into account British history, it doesn't require a great leap of imagination to understand why an independent, sovereign, homogeneous Great Britain poses such a threat to a post democratic United States of Europe.

The evidence is there for all to see - it cannot be denied that for the nations of Europe, excluding Germany, the EU has been an unmitigated disaster and for those in the Eurozone even more so. Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Ireland have lost their sovereignty altogether. Their right to self determination  has been removed and replaced by a government of appointed European bureaucrats.

Imagine what the effect would be on the poverty stricken unfortunates of the EU when they look at a prosperous people who are free from the stifling shackles of an immovable bureaucracy, enjoying the blessings of liberty just twenty two miles across the English Channel.

This would be destabilizing in the extreme and would invariably lead to liberation movements demanding a return of their sovereignty together with their democracies and their currencies.

The argument that the British people's well being depends on being shackled to a stifling Soviet style bureaucracy who's share of global prosperity is shrinking year on year, is complete and utter nonsense.

Bureaucracies by their very nature grow like an amoeba and spread like a disease until they have replaced individual liberty and decision making, this results in a degradation of every aspect of peoples lives.

Everything from energy usage, to rubbish collection to serving olive oil on restaurant tables is controlled by faceless EU bureaucrats who, incidentally, are some of the highest paid in the world.

The calculating despots and the anti-democratic dreamers who initiated the replacement of independent nation states with a federal superstate failed to take into account the nature and history of the British people.

Most of the countries that make up the EU have been conquered or dominated at some point in their recent histories;  despite numerous attempts, and sometimes against insurmountable odds, the British have not suffered such a setback since the Norman invasion of 1066. The British people do not like to be dominated in their native land and they cherish their freedom and independence.

Listening to some Europeans, German socialist leader Martin Schultz springs to mind, it is obvious that they harbor some envy and more than a little resentment at this history and the attitude it has begat. They would dearly love to see the British people taken down a peg or two for reasons of revenge as well as for the furthering of their federalist agenda.

I will agree with General de Gaulle who, when justifying his constant refusals to allow Great Britain to join the then Common Market, intimated correctly that British eyes cannot look inward to Europe, by their very nature they will always be looking across the wider oceans. Truer words were never spoken by a Frenchman.

An independent, free, prosperous nation trading with the world and at ease with itself will be too big a contrast to the miserable, impoverished citizens of a Soviet style superstate who's access to the freedom restoring instruments of democracy will have been removed.

For a United States of Europe to exist, Great Britain with its culture and its way of life must be destroyed, there cannot be both, it is one or the other. This is why every politician, every lobbyist and every charlatan with a vested interest clamps down hard the minute the British people stir from their slumber and force their politicians to make anti-EU noises.

At this point in history the Eurocrats are in the ascendancy and they have the ability to mobilise tremendous human and financial resources to fight for an end to British independence.

The people have the power to take their country back but whether they have the stamina and will to do so remains to be seen.

Putin v The West - The KGB v The PR Department. We Reap What We Sow

As events in the Ukraine and Crimea unfold it is becoming increasingly obvious that the western leaders are not just being out maneuvered by Russia's Vladimir Putin but they are being shown up for what they actually are, media created PR men with no experience in the real world in which we the people abide.

Just a tertiary glance at the backgrounds, experience and accomplishments of the current western leaders reveals weaknesses that any self respecting tyrant in search of his country's lost glory would be a fool to pass up.

It goes without saying that the fearsome reputation of the KGB is well deserved and therefore anyone who leads this organization is by nature ruthless and single minded - in addition, any KGB leader will be well versed in international affairs and a master of strategy.

Vladimir Putin meets these criteria in abundance and in addition he has acquired a degree of Public Relations and media management skills that matches those on which his western foes are totally reliant.

Here is the public face of Putin that the world sees, flip through and enjoy.

While a young Putin was honing his skills in the KGB, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was behaving like the upper class twit that he is by attending raves and wrecking restaurants as a member of the exclusive Bullington Club. After his exclusive education he spent a couple of years as a PR man for a failed television company before taking his leave of the real world by entering the closed, incestuous world of party politics.

His supposed successor, George Osborne, who is the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, was also an upper class Bullington Club twit but apparently he did gain some real world experience prior to entering party politics by enjoying cocaine fuelled sessions with dominatrix Natalie Rowe.

Here are the public faces of David Cameron and George Osborne. Please try not to laugh.

Here's George and Natalie.

Barack Obama, the current leader of the free world and Commander in Chief' of the mightiest military machine on the planet, spent his formative years smoking dope and spending his time with Marxist professors before taking up a career in community organizing. President Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia, Hawaii and the Peoples Republic of Chicago.

The last G8 was a classic example of  the mentality of Cameron and his PR men, the manufactured charade of a tieless, down to earth summit was so contrived and phony it was an embarrassment for the people of Great Britain.

One would think that the European Union which prides itself on having the political clout of nearly five hundred million people would have Putin quaking in his kerenky and scurrying back to Moscow.

Who wouldn't be worried with the EU's High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President if the European Union Commission beating a path to his door?

Vladimir Putin that's who. If the overtly pompous job title isn't enough to split ones side with laughter then the holder will most definitely cause a severe laceration.

The Right Honourable Baroness Ashton of Upholland is the official cover name for Cathy Ashton, a former hippy, serial supporter of left wing causes and the ultimate career bureaucrat. She has never held a proper job nor has she ever been elected to anything. She is one of the highest paid apparatchiks on earth and wields enormous political power, but sadly, in this new post democratic age, she has  been appointed and cannot be removed by the people no matter how destructive and incompetent she may be.

Here's the Baroness on the campaign trail.

One has to remember that Ashton was a Vice Chairperson and treasurer of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament which agitated for unilateral nuclear disarmament at the height of the Cold War. It is now coming to light that she accepted funding for her traitorous organization from the Soviet Union and they adopted the campaign slogan, "Better Red Than Dead".

More on the Baroness here.

Faced with this cast of characters and their priorities, is it any wonder that Vladimir Putin, who is desperate to return Russia to its former glory and influence, is behaving the way he is?

While Putin is running rampant around the globe and running rings around the western leaders, what exactly are their priorities?

State mandated equality and fairness is high on the agenda of both countries together with a plethora of trendy, bleeding heart, hand wringing, guilt ridden 'progressive' nonsense, designed to make the political class feel good about themselves and help them display their compassionate credentials on the world stage.

Other priorities include:

Minimum wage, soon to become Living wage.

Ensnaring more people into welfare dependency and entitlement addiction.

Imposing multi-culturalism via mass immigration and amnesty.

Downgrading the military and erasing their traditions and history. In the case of the USA, this includes feminizing as much as possible to ensure gender neutrality and gay friendliness.

Putting homosexuals on a pedestal, firstly with equal rights then with special rights and now with extra rights. This must be the most pampered minority group on earth bearing in mind their small numbers.

Wrecking traditional marriage and family life

Eradicating the western Judeo-Christian values and its moral compass and giving medieval death cults such as Islam, moral equivalence.

Impoverishing their respective peoples with spending, taxing, borrowing and debt for generations to come.

The list goes on and the longer it does the more Putin, and all the other enemies of the west, are emboldened. Unless something drastic happens and the people wake up to the danger, the west is doomed.

President Putin on western decline, read this and weep.

We the people are to blame - we've known for many years that the political class are out of control and treating us with contempt.

In Great Britain we know that the leaders of the three main parties share an identical agenda on the main issues. They are as one. We know that David Cameron, Nick Clegg and David Miliband hail from a remote elite with no affiliation with the people they are supposed to represent.

The same goes for President Obama.  Everyone knows he is a media created impostor and even when his first term turned out to be a disaster they fell for his spin a second time. The danger now is that like Great Britain, being lied to will be become a normal part of political discourse allowing politicians to get away with destructive policies and outright corruption.

As well as we the people, President Putin knows they are all media creations who are trained in the arts of media management, spin, deceit and lying and unlike Putin, we fall for their propaganda every time. The people are easily seduced with promises the politicians know they will not keep and we will lose our liberties and freedoms to become no better off than the unfortunates of Putin's prison states.

American blogger 90 Miles From Tyranny has put together a gallery of comparisons, well worth a look.

Netanyahu, Putin and Obama at age twenty three.

Vladimir Putin Vs Barack Obama - This is awesome.

Finally just for fun, guess the mystery world leader who would surely have sent Putin back to the Kremlin: Here and here.

New British Identity - Bestowed Upon Them By An Anti-British European

Any discussion about citizenship and national characteristics in a country consisting of two nations, a Principality, a Province and various quasi-autonomous areas such as Cornwall, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, is bound to be difficult.

British identity is in the eye of the beholder, however most indigenous British people can agree on what they consider not to be British. Sadly, due to the crushing effect of political correctness and a fear of prosecution under Great Britain's Orwellian 'hate crime' laws, most people harbor these views in private, burying them deep inside themselves but holding them nonetheless.

It's a strange phenomenon that British people of all shades of opinion openly criticize, and even make derogatory remarks about their own country, but take umbrage when a foreigner or an immigrant voices similar sentiments. That same umbrage bubbled to the surface when the notoriously anti-British, Nick Clegg used a recent speech to redefine what it is to be British.

The fact that someone as anti-British as Clegg is holding the position of Deputy Prime Minister of our country is insult enough, but students of political speech making will realize that he was not only redefining British identity but openly displaying his contempt for the indigenous British people at the same time.

Clegg will be well aware of the issues that are of most concern to the British people and where they stand with regard to them.  With that in mind he has constructed his speech to:  a) redefine British identity in his own image, b) attempt to show some British roots, and c) insult, smear and denigrate anyone who holds traditional views.

The speech was also designed to pour scorn an anyone who disagrees with his view on the EU, immigration and multi-culturalism.   He also made the point of 'loving' everything about Great Britain that the indigenous people loath while making no mention of the things that matter.

Nick Clegg has done nothing of note in his life outside of politics and he is particularly steeped in the machinations of the European Union bureaucracy. He is ruthlessly dedicated to the destruction of Great Britain and its relegation to a mere province of a federal United States of Europe.

It becomes obvious the more one listens to Clegg that he can barely disguise his loathing for Great Britain, its people, its history, its culture together with its Judeo-Christian values and moral code. He is a placeman for the European Union zealots who have charged him with deceiving the British people into surrendering what's left of their sovereignty to the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.

Despite the fact that Clegg is only one quarter English and considers himself a citizen of Europe, he deliberately used the collective 'we' when informing the people what he 'loved' about Great Britain in order to create the illusion that he is one of us. He needs to be told that after that insulting speech he most definitely is not.

As I have written previously we are standing amid the wreckage of a once great nation; a nation that achieved its greatness long before the arrival of people such as Clegg who's only mission in life is to destroy what's left of our great country.  A country that has been reduced to almost third world status and where vast areas have been turned into mono-cultural, poverty stricken, welfare addicted, crime ridden ghettos that don't resemble Great Britain in any way, shape or form.

Clegg considers this destruction to be a great achievement and it forms part of the Britain he 'loves'.

He claims that "he 'loves' the way we can cherish our traditions" while he is doing his best to erase those same traditions together with British patriotism and anything that is quintessentially British, all in the interests of multi-culturalism.

He claims that he 'loves' the fact 'we' churn out one ingenious invention after the next, such as the telephone, the steam engine, the jet engine, the world wide web etc.  For his information, these were 'churned' out long before his arrival on the scene when Britain was still a free, independent and sovereign nation. I am not sure that we could have 'churned' these inventions out in a dumbed down Britain run by Clegg and his cohorts.

He 'loves' the fact that 'we' insist on queuing abroad when the locals don't, which is nonsense - in my long expatriate career I didn't queue if the locals didn't, my elbows were sharp as anyone else's and they competed with the best of them.

Indulging in traditional 'progressive' propaganda, he 'loves' the fact that the BBC and the NHS are known and respected across the planet.

No they are not! The NHS is known for its death factories, inefficiencies, interminable waiting lists, its low cancer survival rates and the pathetically low life expectancy if one is taken sick at the weekend. The BBC is renown for its nature programs, Top Gear and its continuous output of left wing propaganda.

In an act designed to enrage the indigenous people Clegg 'loves' the fact that our cities are no longer British and have been colonized by every race, religion, colour and language in existence.

He 'loves' that his wife, the wealthy Spanish lawyer Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, has that feeling of freedom you get in Britain, that "simply doesn't exist anywhere else".

I would suggest she put that freedom to the test and partake of that quaint British custom of an evening or Sunday afternoon stroll, perhaps in the Somali held areas of Ealing or Southall in South West London.

She could try taking a freedom stroll in Somali held Toxteth, Liverpool; after all her husband 'loves' the fact that these cities are home to non English speaking colonists from "all corners of the planet".

Apart from some other banalities about 'loving' the shipping forecast and wearing T-shirts and flip flops when the sun isn't shining, he goes on to tell us that he 'loves' living in a country that is synonymous with human rights and the rule of law.

Because of his youth, inexperience and lack of interest in British history he will be unaware that human rights and the rule of law have been evolving in our country for centuries. We did not have a human rights problem and we didn't need European human rights laws to be enshrined into British law on the orders of the EU bureaucrats.

This is a crooks charter that was put in place to facilitate the imposition of multi-culturalism by making it practically impossible to deport an immigrant no matter how heinous the crime.

Clegg 'loves' this abomination that has allowed all manner of criminal low lifes and terrorists from around the globe to remain in our country to rob, rape and murder the indigenous population with little fear of any serious repercussions.

Clegg demonstrates his imbecility by saying that he 'loves' the fact that the British people respond to any problem, big or small, with a cup of tea. Really? This truly is desperate stuff and an absolutely pathetic attempt to display some Britishness.

In spite of the fact that the vast majority of the British people believe in traditional marriage and family life, Clegg 'loves' the fact that Great Britain is a place where you can be a homosexual and proud - "and now you can get married too". He also claims that Great Britain should have a homosexual Prime Minister. Who would he suggest that should be, the expenses thief, David Laws, the grossly perverted Mark Oaten, the vulgar exhibitionist Chris Bryant or Deputy Speaker of the House, Nigel Evans, who is currently on trial for sexually assaulting his male colleagues?

I won't bore the reader with rest of his nonsense but I will move on to his attempt at displaying his roots. He informs us that after the First World War his grandfather watched the returning troops which left him desperately upset that he hadn't been called up to the front. Apparently he passionately believed that to be a British soldier defending our values of liberty and peace, was the most noble thing you could be.

If he felt that passionate then he could have emulated British hero, William 'Billy Boy' Tickle and thousands of others, including my own grandfather, who demonstrated their passion with action not words; they disguised their ages and volunteered at age sixteen before serving their country in France.

Clegg makes no mention of any other ancestor because his paternal grandfather is as deep as his British roots go.  There is no "good yeoman who's limbs were made in England" for Clegg, he considers himself a citizen of Europe far and above being a citizen of Great Britain.

The latter part of his speech was dedicated to extolling the virtues of the EU while ignoring the disaster that EU membership has wreaked upon the people of Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and the rest of the Mediterranean countries. He also used this part of his speech to insult, smear and denigrate anyone who disagrees with his vision of a degraded Great Britain in a greater Europe.

Apparently, Clegg's vision consists of "great liberal qualities" while the British people's desire for individual liberty and freedom from a tyrannical bureaucracy in their own sovereign nation is "some sepia-tinted memory of Empire" or "some stuffy parochialism dressed up as patriotism".

With boring predictability he goes on to link the anti-EU parties in Europe with extremism then with all the subtlety of Josef Goebbels attempts to link these parties with the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) and its leader Nigel Farage.

It is Nick Clegg's ambition to see Great Britain reduced to a mere province of a post democratic United States of Europe under the thumb of unelected bureaucrats like the anti-British Belgian, Herman von Rumpuy and the Spanish Maoist, Jose Manuel Barrosso.

What Clegg omitted from his speech is a testament to his lack of roots and his deliberate attempt to erase what real born and bred people of this Sceptred Isle consider to be an essential part of being British.

He failed to mention:

Her Majesty the Queen as Head of State - we know he would prefer Herman von Rumpuy or Angela Merkel.

The codification of English law and its evolution since Aethelstan and Alfred the Great up until that evolution was halted by remote, unaccountable European Judges.

Magna Carta and the enshrining of basic rights.

Sir Winston Churchill and the sacrifices made by the British people during their fight against the German domination of Europe.

British military traditions and history from Boadicea to Colonel H Jones. Great battles for liberty including Agincourt, Waterloo, Trafalgar, the Battle of Britain and Goose Green.

Britain's Judeo-Christian heritage as evidenced by the great cathedrals and churches that bless every village, town and city.

Britain's literary heritage doesn't get a mention, nothing about Shakespeare, Bunyan, Dickens or even Geraldus Cambrenesis.

I could go on but I am loath to spend any more time on traitors and quislings like Nick Clegg and his ilk.

In conclusion I am happy to say that I am not the only one that holds Nick Clegg in complete and utter contempt; Stephen Glover says it in his own inimitable style.  It's a pity that the electors in his constituency of Sheffield Hallam don't open their eyes and look at the damage they are doing to their country.

And on that note I will close with a Shakespearean quote which is the antithesis of Clegg.

Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you called fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble luster in your eyes.

Henry V - Act 3 Scene 1


For those with a strong constitution Clegg's transcript is here but be warned, a sick bag will be required.

Clarissa Dickson-Wright, Tony Benn And Bob Crow - A Rose Between Two Thorns

The passing of that great British icon, Clarissa Dickson-Wright, came hot on heels of two other celebrity bucket kickers - firstly trade union thug and unrepentant communist, Bob Crow, followed by Great Britain's most notorious champagne socialist and fellow unrepentant communist, Anthony Wedgwood Benn.

The reaction to the passing of these three high profile personalities couldn't have been more different.  The political establishment in the Westminster bubble, together with their sycophants in the media, were queuing up to eulogise the two anti- British revolutionaries is in stark contrast to their virtual silence on the passing of the universally popular, pro-British, politically incorrect TV chef.

One can understand that people who share an ideology with Crow and Benn will say nice things about them, but it is unbecoming of their political opponents and those who should be fighting communism to be eulogizing this thug and his comrade in such glowing terms.

One can only assume that people such as Prime Minister, David Cameron and London's conservative Mayor, Boris Johnson, were trawling for 'working class' votes in their leadership bids by not telling the truth about this reprobate and his upper class twit of a soul mate.

One shouldn't be surprised that the taxpayer funded BBC, and the hideously left wing hacks at the Guardian, went into full 'Nelson Mandela' mode, but the Spectator really should know better. The fight against the horrors of communism and its advocates should be a full time occupation for those that support individual liberty and freedom with no room for sentimentality or any concessions for people like Crow and Benn.

When one reads that Crow stood up for the working man, or that he stuck to his working class roots, the authors are either deluding themselves or they are deliberately distorting the truth for their own personal ends.

Bob Crow stood up for only those working people that paid their dues to his union, he didn't care a jot for the millions of working people who were unable to get to their jobs because of his interminable strikes on the London Underground.  He certainly didn't care about the working people who suffered intimidation and vile abuse from his members when they exercised their legal right to go to work.

Like all champagne socialists, he didn't stick to his working class roots either - while his strikers were bringing London to a standstill and intimidating those of his members that chose to work, Crow was far from the picket line, enjoying the sunshine on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

Living in publicly subsidized housing doesn't make you working class either or mean you've kept your working class roots, especially when one is on a six figure salary plus expenses and perks, paid out of his member's dues.

Bob Crow was an unrepentant communist who supported Palestinian terrorism and the disastrous Hugo Chavez communist regime in Venezuela - one of his heroes was the blood soaked despot, Fidel Castro, and he stated that he would like to see a Cuban type revolution in Great Britain.  My guess would be that instead of manning the barricades, Crow would be sunning himself somewhere as far from the action as it would be possible to get.

When London Mayor, Boris Johnson said of Crow that "he was a fighter and a man of character. There can be no doubt that he played a big part in the success of the Tube, and shared my goal to make transport in London an even greater success", he had obviously forgotten the millions of Londoners that Crow had inconvenienced or his sentiment that Johnson's former leader Margaret Thatcher should "rot in hell".

Aristocrat Anthony Wedgwood Benn was a clown of a character who thought that by renouncing his peerage and proletarianising his name to Tony Benn it would make him a member of the working class.  Benn's passionate advocacy of Marxism didn't stretch to actually giving up the bourgeois lifestyle and joining the proletariat - in typical caviar communist fashion, Benn kept as far away from the great unwashed as possible.

One anecdote has our hero travelling in a second class railway carriage when there were seats available in first class; when asked by the conductor why he was travelling in second class he reputedly replied "because there is no third class".

This kind of tokenism doesn't make him working class - it makes him a clown. Using the same logic, one is entitled to ask why he chose to live in Holland Park, one of London's most exclusive areas, instead of a working class area such as Southall or Broadwater Farm?

Benn had an exclusive upbringing and all the advantages that wealth and privilege brings, including private schooling.  In his attempts to become a member of the proletariat he erased all references to his exclusive education from Who's Who, removing his entry all together in later editions.

Volumes have been written about Benn so I leave it to the reader to explore this buffoon at their leisure but I will use a few quotes to help illustrate his extremism.

"Marxism is now a world faith and must be allowed to enter into a continuous dialogue with other world faiths, including religious faith".

"It would be unthinkable to construct a Labour party without Marx....."

"A faith is something you die for; a doctrine is something you kill for; there is all the difference in the world". If it came down to killing it would be a safe bet that both Crow and Benn would make their excuses and be somewhere else away from any action.

It would be safe to say that Clarissa Dickson-Wright had more adoring followers than either Bob Crow or Wedgwood Benn.  She also represented a vision of England that more people identified with than the communist dystopias espoused by the Toytown revolutionaries who enjoyed the bourgeois lifestyle of the very people they claim to despise.

Like Benn, Clarissa was born into privilege but unlike him she remained the person she was born, warts and all - she never felt the need to create a false persona in order to endear herself to the people. She was irreverent and politically incorrect which is the reason why, despite her huge following, she is being ignored by the political elite.

They lived in fear of her popularity and the negative effect that she was having on the imposition of their politically correct agenda.  She represented everything about Great Britain and England that they are trying to destroy.  This is an important reason why her memory should be kept alive for as long as possible, even in the age of the twenty four hour news cycle.

For millions of people, myself included, Clarissa Dickson-Wright stands head and shoulders above the likes of Crow and Benn, whose only wish was to destroy the Great Britain that she represented and replace it with the dull, miserable, blood soaked world of Marx, Castro, Chavez et al.

In the spirit in which I was brought up I offer condolences to the families of all three of the departed but I extend my eternal thanks to Clarissa Dickson-Wright for standing up to the death threats and intimidation of the politically correct bullies and staying true to herself.

Here is a previous post on Clarissa and some of her life in quotes for readers to enjoy.

 A sample to whet your appetite:

"There were several members of the future Labour Cabinet in my circle, including Tony Blair himself. We called him Miranda, not least because of his long hair and girlish looks. He was regarded as a poor, sad thing and considered something of a fantasist".

Teachers Ignorant About The Real World - So Says A Superfluous Politician

Some of the basic lessons in life were often taught to children by their parents using a proverb, it is highly likely that everyone can remember at least one from their younger days and the wisdom that it was meant to impart. Many of these proverbs are as true today as the when they were first penned and this can be taken as proof of their timelessness and veracity.

Alas, as always, there are exceptions and these can be found in abundance in the world of politics where everyone appears to defy the eternal verities that keeps the world on an even keel for the vast majority of citizens. In this peculiar world, the inhabitants are convinced that they are a different species that are allowed to look down on the mass of plebeians and where the normal rules don't apply to them.

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" immediately sprang to mind when I read that a politician with a work history that consists only of bean counting accused the entire teaching profession of knowing "absolutely nothing about the world of work".

For Vince Cable, the world of work consisted of being an economic advisor to the Kenyan government which was, and still is, regarded as one of the most corrupt kleptocracies on the planet, as well as being one of the most blood soaked dictatorships in Africa. He followed this with similar positions in the British government finally becoming head bean counter for the giant oil company Shell.

Cable has a well deserved reputation as an unprincipled 'flip flopper' having started his political career as a Labour activist and local councilor before defecting to the Social Democratic Party, these Social Democrats went on to join the Liberals to form the ludicrously named Liberal Democrat Party which is blighting public life today. He is currently reverting to type by promoting the hard left socialists policies of his youth.

He may be right about some teachers not having much experience in the world of work but in some subjects it isn't required. The skill of imparting knowledge is more important, especially in the earlier years. Experience in the world of work is not essential for teaching algebra for example or for teaching the basic scientific principles of chemistry, physics or biology.

Cable made his insulting remarks to representatives from the manufacturing industry who rightly pointed out that students are leaving school with unacceptably low skill levels in literacy and numeracy. This renders them unsuitable for employment unless expensive remedial training is carried out.

It is obvious that Vince Cable is being a typical politician by passing the buck for the appallingly low educational standards in Britain's schools and blaming the teachers instead of the disastrous education policies of his and the previous government.

Politicians, especially those with no experience in the world of work, nor the teachers unions, have any business in deciding Great Britain's education policy for the simple reason that they cannot be trusted to keep their ideology out of the classroom. Outside of the standard basic curricular, business leaders and wealth creators together with local authorities should have the biggest say in deciding education policy.

Politicians, with their attendant armies of career bureaucrats, are self perpetuating, they can only expand their empires and further interfere in areas where they have no experience and where they are not required. It may justify their existence but they are an impediment to the efficient running of any business and its ability to create wealth and jobs.

Vince Cable is the Secretary of State for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, a totally unnecessary department that has been created purely to accommodate superfluous politicians like himself and to make them look important.

Along with Cable, none of his ministers, save one, has any experience in the real world of work, with one of his ministers barely out of school. How these people are supposed to legislate in order to help business people create wealth and jobs is beyond comprehension.

Its worth taking a little time to look at Cables team and their CV's:

David Willetts is his Minster of State for Universities and Science, Innovation and Space, his qualifications and experience in the world of work consists of.....absolutely nothing. After getting the inevitable Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) degree at Oxford University he went straight into party politics and was an MP at 36.

Michael Fallon is his Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, he graduated with a degree in Classics and ancient history and like his colleague Mr. Willetts, he has zero experience in the real world of work. He went from school straight into party politics and become an MP at 31.

Mathew Hancock is his Minister of State for Skills and Enterprise, he got the required PPE at Exeter University and worked briefly at the family business before becoming a bean counter at the Bank of England. He became advisor to the Chancellor of the Exchequer at 27 becoming an MP at 32. He is still only 35 years old.

Jo Swinson is Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Employment Relations, Consumer and Postal Affairs. Her experience in the world of work consists of a very brief career in PR and marketing before standing for parliament at the tender age of 21, she became an MP at 25 and currently holds the title of  'Baby of the House' at 34 years old.

Lord Younger of Leckie is a hereditary peer and he is appointed to Vince Cables Ministry. When he is not sitting in the House of Lords he is Parliamentary Under Secretary State for Intellectual Property.

Which brings us to the only person in the Ministry with any experience in the world of work. He is Lord Livingstone who is Minister of State for Trade and Investment.

At 19 he graduated with a degree in economics and became an economist at Arthur Anderson. He went on to become chief economist at the Independent newspaper before going to the Bank of America and then the private equity company 3i. He entered corporate development at Dixon's group becoming the youngest FTSE 100 Finance Director at 32. He was a key player in creating PC World and Freeserve.
He went to join BT World, becoming CEO for retail division and then CEO of the entire BT group.

With this impressive Curriculum Vitae he puts his colleagues to shame and it is the British peoples loss that he is not running the entire department instead of the Cable. It would be interesting to know how his performance in government matches that of the political pygmies he shares his department with.

It is without doubt that there are bad teachers and some that are ideologically driven - it is this noisy minority that are allowed to get away with tainting the entire profession by a spineless political class who are inexperienced, incompetent and in many cases share the ideology of the recalcitrant teachers.

In conclusion it must be noted that where experience is an absolute necessity is in the world of politics and this is where it is sadly lacking. The current crop of MP's mainly consists of ideological, agenda driven political clones barely out of school, who's main objective is taking political power, keeping it and imposing their personal agendas on an unwilling population.

Regardless of party affiliation, they all look the same and they all talk the same, they use the same media management techniques and speak in the same idiosyncratic language - this is where a sentence can mean one thing one day and something totally different the next. They often use the same phrases and soundbites and all are masters in the art of spin, obfuscation, deceit and outright lying.

The people can put this right at the next election by voting them out in exchange for people who have at least spent a modicum time in the real world of work.

And finally some other proverbs that apply to Vince Cable:

"You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"

"A bad workman always blames his tools"

"A little learning is a dangerous thing"

"A young idler makes an old beggar"

"A fool at forty is a fool forever"


Here's and interesting take on politicians from the Daily Mail.  Ouch!

Compensation For Slavery - All Aboard The Guilt Trip Gravy Train

In any confrontation be it a debate, a game of chess or an all out war, both sides will probe the opposition for any sign of weakness. There are various terms for this in the lexicon of strategists and these include, "a chink in the armour, the soft underbelly, the weakest link" etc. etc.

The usurpation of power by a global cabal of bleeding heart, hand wringing 'progressives' and their adoption of a touchy-feely, guilt ridden attitude to history, is perceived as a sign of weakness which is being ruthlessly exploited by unscrupulous, professional charlatans from the guilt industry to get their grubby hands on some free money.

They see the continual apologizing for historical events by these hand wringing bleeding heart politicians as an admission of guilt and therefore the justification to be handed unimaginable sums of money from people who were not there at the time, had no involvement in the events at the time and have received no benefit whatsoever from the events in question.

When Prime Minister Tony Blair went around apologising for everything from the British Empire to the Amritsar massacre and President Obama went on a humiliating world tour apologizing for 'the dark periods in Americas history' and its arrogance, how did they think this would be perceived by the enemies of western civilization and the professional guilt merchants from the compensation industry?

When Great Britain foolishly paid compensation to a handful of butchers from the Kenyan Mau Mau terrorist organization, I wrote at the time that this would open the flood gates to all manner of claimants from all corners of the former Empire wanting compensation for so called injuries, real or imagined.

In the case of the recent claim by fourteen Caribbean nations for slavery reparations, all of the so called 'injuries' are imagined, they have been manufactured for the sole purpose of using guilt to extort money from a weak, posturing group of politicians who are more concerned with their compassionate credentials than in actual justice.

It was this cave in to white guilt that prompted the Caribbean nations to pursue this absurd claim, in fact they have even called it the Mau Mau strategy. The truth is that the Caribbean Community organization (Caricom) hovered around the Mau Mau case like flies around a dead cat sniffing for an opportunity to make some free money should the terrorists win.

The whole history of slavery as portrayed by current historians is now so distorted it is rendered useless for making any legal judgments. The way it is written is that white Europeans are solely to blame for slavery and its evils, and it is black Africans who are its sole victims.

Slavery has been around for all of human history and was particularly prevalent in Africa and Arabia long before the Europeans came on the scene. It was part of their culture, and it still is, although the compensation industry don't want this fact to be too widely known. The European slave traders used the already established African slave trade to facilitate the start of their own industry.

The way current history is perceived, slavery is a recent phenomenon and its attendant horrors have been inflicted exclusively on black people and as much as the guilt merchants would want everyone to believe this to be the case, it simply isn't true.

The truth is that in history, almost all the peoples of Europe have been slaves at one time or another, either by the Romans, the Vandals, the Vikings, the Saxons, the Normans or the Moors.

Two of the most famous cases of slavery in all history is the Jewish captivity by the Egyptians and the Babylonians. Its ironic that one famous Negro spiritual song was inspired 'by the rivers of Babylon where the Jewish people sat down and wept when they remembered Zion'.

In the twentieth century, the Chinese enslaved the Mongolians and the Japanese enslaved the Chinese, the Nazis enslaved the conquered peoples of Europe and the elites of the communist parties in Russia and China enslaved their own people.

As much as the money grubbers are loath to admit it, even in America there were non white slave owners so who is descended from whom is going to take some sorting out.

It is a heretical view bordering on blasphemy but nevertheless it is true and it must be said that during the industrial revolution in Great Britain, workers such as coal miners, iron workers and others suffered as much as any plantation worker and in inclement weather to boot.

These workers, including women and children, endured appalling conditions labouring underground and in the ironworks and forges that dotted this wind swept island. They endured industrial injuries, hunger, poor health, infant mortality, infectious diseases, low life expectancy and all the other afflictions associated with abject poverty. Cutting sugar cane on a Caribbean island paradise appears benign by comparison.

It is worth pointing out that the noble people of the industrial revolution had nothing to do with the Empire, the Amritsar massacre, slavery or the massacre of the innocents. Their descendants, of which I am one, did not benefit financially from Great Britain's imperial history, we were born into poverty and cannot be considered rich to this day.

Where these so called victims of slavery would be today if their ancestors were not taken to the Caribbean must also be taken into consideration. All the slave countries of West Africa have been engulfed bloody civil wars, tyranny, famine and outbreaks of infectious diseases at some point in their histories. Even Liberia, a country that was set up for returned slaves is a sump of poverty, tyranny, civil war and despair.

No slave descendant in their right mind would go back to their ancestral home and it should be considered an act of good fortune that they are living on a Caribbean island paradise rather than starving in a blighted African hell hole.

It is a matter of fact that there are thousands if not millions of black people in America and the Caribbean who are better off than millions of white people in Great Britain and Europe from whom they are trying to extort money.

In reality they are asking some former coal miner from Aberdare, who exists day to day, to handover over part of his pension money to the Rastafarian descendent of a plantation worker who spends his time smoking dope and fathering children in Trenchtown, Jamaica.

The whole issue of compensation for events that took place centuries ago is absolute nonsense and anyone with an ounce of common sense will recognize this and see it for what it is. It is nothing more than an opportunity for unscrupulous shake down artists from the professional compensation industry to play on white guilt and the desire for 'progressive' politicians to parade their compassionate credentials on the world stage in order to extort even more money from innocent taxpayers.

Update: The original claim for reparations was made by the African World Reparation and Repatriation Truth Commission (AWEETC)  and was made in Accra in 1999. It was for an eye watering $777 trillion.

Kim Jung Un Wins N.Korean Election - Single Party Rule Blighting Rotherham Also

North Korea is an extreme example of the disastrous consequences of socialism combined with single party rule. News that Kim Jung Un has been elected as 'glorious leader', or whatever his new title will be, and with one hundred percent of the votes, should come as no surprise to any student of international politics.

It is worth pointing out right off the bat that I am not suggesting equivalence between Kim's tyranny in North Korea and the politicians of Rotherham - I am merely pointing out the abuse of power, the corruption and the contempt for the electorate that ensues when the results of elections are known in advance.

I would also point out that in Great Britain Rotherham is not unique but it is a classic example of the abuse that an electorate will endure and still return the abusers to power without a second thought.

What both North Korea and Rotherham do have in common is that with all the evidence of history and current events, Venezuela being latest example, both political classes persist in adhering to socialist policies that always end in poverty and misery.

Despite being an odious character with a deserved reputation for bullying, lying and smearing, the voters of Rotherham elected and then re-elected Denis MacShane as their Parliamentary representative four times. The only reason they didn't elect him a for a fifth time was the fact that he was found guilty of systematically stealing their money and sent to prison.

MacShane was first elected in 1994 with fifty six percent of the vote and re-elected in 1997 with seventy one percent, this was only twenty nine percent less than Kim Jung Un in North Korea.

The people of Rotherham have returned a Labour MP since 1933 and they obviously do not have the ability to kick their tribal voting habits as they replaced MacShane with another Labour MP.

When it comes to local government, the people of Rotherham are gluttons for punishment - their local council, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, to give it the official name, has been Labour controlled since its formation in 1973 and it has been treating the people with contempt ever since.

The leaders of the council are dedicated to the 'progressive' socialist cause as dictated by the London based, middle class, champagne socialists that rule the party, and they follow their every diktat to the letter.

Hence Rotherham is a poster child for failed socialist policies, enforced multi-culturalism, cronyism, deprivation and corruption.

To recap, Rotherham is what is known as a 'solid' Labour area or a 'safe' Parliamentary constituency:

It has returned a Labour MP since 1933

The local Council has been Labour run since its formation in 1973.

The Labour Party had unfettered political power nationally for thirteen years under Blair and Brown.

It is safe to say that Rotherham is a single party constituency where election results are known in advance - therefore it is also safe to assume that the people are content and happily reaping the benefits of tribal voting or else why would they keep returning the same people and party to office?

Apart from the Muslim sex grooming scandals that the local authorities, including the police 'service' willfully ignored, here are some facts from the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council:

Key Messages from the Indices of Deprivation:

Deprivation in Rotherham has increased with the Borough now ranked as 53rd most deprived district.

The key drivers of deprivation in Rotherham remain Health & Disability, Education and Skills and Employment.

The greatest deterioration's in rank are in Crime and Health & Disability.

Deprivation has generally stayed the same in the least deprived areas, whilst it has increased most in those areas with the highest deprivation.

There is evidence of polarization between the most and least deprived areas for Employment, Health, Education and Crime deprivation.

23% of Children are affected by income deprivation compared with 14% of working age adults, the gap being wider in the most deprived areas.

Rotherham - Neighbourhood Deprivation

There is a wide range of deprivation within the borough with some neighbourhoods being very deprived and others more affluent. Inequalities within the borough are far greater than those between Rotherham and England. Deprivation tends to have reduced in the most average or less deprived areas, whilst the most deprived areas have shown little progress.

One would think that these are the very issues and inequalities that socialism and the Labour Party are supposed to abolish - this must either go down as an epic fail or final proof that socialism doesn't work and that politicians in single party constituencies become arrogant, corrupt and totally incapable of achieving the results they were elected to achieve.

One would also think that with a record like that and with the sex grooming scandal cover up, the council leaders and their cronies would be relieved of their posts at the very least, if not prosecuted and imprisoned.

It doesn't work that way in single party constituencies - safe in the knowledge that Labour will always prevail, contempt for the voters is confirmed by Rotherham becoming a dumping ground for asylum seekers thus putting a further strain on local housing, schools and hospitals.

Rotherham now has a proud reputation of being the poster child for multi-cultralism in Great Britain, so where better for G4S to dump asylum seekers but Rotherham. Joyce Thacker, the face of multi-culturalism in Rotherham, will welcome one and all.

( More Joyce Thacker here)

Council leader, Roger Stone and his cronies are all still there making excuses, holding inquiries, looking after each other, covering their backsides, claiming their allowances and junketing at the taxpayers expense.

In conclusion it must be re-stated that Rotherham is not unique and that tribal voting is endemic throughout Great Britain. What the British people don't appear to realize is the simple fact that they have the power to stop the abuses, the corruption and the cronyism and take back their country simply by voting. It really is that easy.

Its time to stop the destructive habit of tribal voting, don't be concerned about nostalgia, family traditions, or community pressure, if you love your country and your freedom, kick them out no matter who they are or how long they have been in office - show them no mercy, hold them in the same contempt in which they hold you.

Redefining An Englishman Without Consent - Where's The Human Rights Brigade?

This is a re-edited article from last March and may go some way to explaining the lack of pride of the English football players during the World Cup. It must be difficult to have pride in the multi-culti England that is being created by the agenda driven political class.

                                    
                                                                  He is an Englishman

                                                               For he himself has said it

                                                              And its greatly to his credit

                                                               That he is an Englishman

                                                               That he is an Englishman

Students of English musical culture, and possibly many an old salt, will recognize these famous lines from the comic opera HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan. Even outside England, these operas are lauded and recognized as being an integral part of Great Britain's, or more specifically England's, cultural heritage.

(The song is here and I would recommend watching it performed before reading on)

These operas are a classic example of the English capacity for self deprecating humour and despite regional variations they also impart a general vision of what an Englishman is, or more accurately, some of their common characteristics.

As a native from the other side of Offa's Dyke, who had the honour and privilege of living in England for decades, my impression of English people is as positive as can be. As with any people or culture it has its share of ne'er do wells and undesirables but in my experience they were a tiny minority who did not represent the decent, hard working, polite and accommodating majority I had the pleasure of living amongst.

Everyone has a different view of what characterizes England and its people but whenever I need to invoke a vision of England in a few words I always quote the eminent person whose name slips my mind, "England is the land of cricket on the village green, warm beer and old maids cycling to Evensong on a balmy summers evening" or words to that effect.

I realize its a bit rural and chocolate boxy but nevertheless it serves its purpose as a generality.

Come the day of reckoning there are a catalogue of crimes that the political class have to answer for and one of the biggest is the willful destruction of the archetypal English character and its replacement with something unrecognizable as English.

If it was any other culture being deliberately erased without the consent of the people, the usual suspects on the left and the 'human rights' brigade would be in an uproar. Where's the incessantly noisy civil rights advocates such as Liberty and where is the United Nations?

Similar cultural replacement is taking place in Tibet, half of Hollywood is up in arms and where's Bob Geldof and Bono?

It was with absolute horror and disgust that I read in the American version of the Daily Mail, and subsequently in the Orlando Sentinel, about a 'British' man who flew to Florida with the intention of  impregnating a thirteen year old girl in order to entrap her into a marriage where they would raise a daughters-only family. His plan was to sexually abuse these daughters in a sick incest fantasy.

At this point I will wholeheartedly accept that that this sick animal is theoretically as British as I am, but having clarified that point, the fact that he was born in London makes Shuhel Mahboob Ali an Englishman. I will point out that the Welsh, Scottish and Irish appear to have been classified as minorities in their own right and therefore don't appear to be as big a target for cultural replacement as the English.

What the American readers of this story must be thinking about the English people and how low they have sunk fills me with trepidation and horror. For the past few years Piers Morgan has been doing his best to upset our American cousins and impugn the name of the English people but compared to this guy Morgan is a paragon of virtue and a positive advert for England.

The agenda driven political class and their sycophantic storm troopers in the politicized institutions are zealously imposing multi-culturalism on the English people whether they want it or not and this requires them to redefine what it is to be an Englishman. This agenda also requires that English culture and their Judeo-Christian values must be erased and replaced with customs and practices that would horrify English people from a generation ago.

In the modern multi-culti world the likes of  Freddie Kendakumana, Abdul Huk, Mohammed Rafiq Abubaker and Chola Chansa from Rotherham are classed as English people. Their vile practices such as child marriage and paedophilia are fast becoming an established part of modern British culture.

Likewise the sons of England Zafran Ramzan, Umar Razaq, Adil Hussein, Mohsin Khan, Razwan Razaq also hail from Rotherham.

If there is one place that can be considered as epitomizing England then it's the city of Oxford. Dreaming spires, mortar boards and gowns, academic excellence and a seat of learning for centuries. What aspiring English academic doesn't dream about a scholarship to Oxford University?

With a reputation and a history like that Oxford didn't stand a chance against the cultural vandals and ethnic cleansers of the political class and the multi-cultural community. Oxford was a prime target and with the assistance of the local authorities, including the police 'service', the city was given the usual cultural makeover.

English brothers Akatar and Anjum Dogar together with their fellow countrymen Zeeshan Ahmed, Bassam Karrar and Assad Hussain from Oxford were allowed to groom and sexually abuse under age girls unhindered for years.

To the political class and the multi-culturalists the victims, who's lives were ruined, are obviously a small price to pay for cultural enrichment, diversity, community cohesion, or whatever the latest jargon is, that they use to justify their destructive agenda.

The most horrific incident of recent crimes was the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in a London street by two Muslim fanatics who were both Englishmen according to the multi-culturalists. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowali were both from the London area and would not have been in a position to commit their heinous crime had Blair/Brown not opened the borders to all and sundry. Their actions facilitated the murder of Drummer Rigby and they should be held to account.

Then there is English hate preacher Anjem 'Andy' Choudary, seen here with one of the killers of Drummer Rigby, who publicly spews out Muslim filth, including insults against dead British service people, and who for some reason is given immunity from prosecution by the government.

This animal is just as big a protected species as the Giant Panda, presumably for reasons of 'cultural sensitivity' or community cohesion' but more likely because the spineless politicians don't want to upset one of their client groups.

The three legacy parties and their leaders, Cameron, Clegg and Miliband are in agreement on the cultural replacement agenda for England and consider it an achievement when they see people like the ones mentioned above describing themselves as English.

The facts for the English people to digest are that the victims of these criminals would not have had their lives ruined had not the borders been opened to all and sundry regardless of an immigrant's suitability to be amongst decent, civilized people.

Those young girls were hurt and Drummer Rigby is dead directly because the Blair/Brown government, with the support of Cameron, Clegg and Miliband, allowed degeneracy to enter the country for their own self serving ideological ends.

By their encouragement of backward cultures not to integrate and then to celebrate this apartheid as a good thing, Blair/Brown and the rest of the political class are guilty of causing criminal harm to young girls and should be punished along with the perpetrators.

If it's any consolation, I for one will never forgive them for what they have done and I will stand four square with my English compatriots to protect their culture and bring the criminal politicians to book.

I will add that during my long years as an expatriate I was always reminded that I am not only representing my company but my country, therefore I should always behave appropriately in order that my host country get a favourable impression of both. It would appear that this advise only applies to British people abroad.

An article on Andy Choudary from the Gates of Vienna.

I will finish on a lighter note happy in the knowledge that, on the whole, the American people's impression of English people is largely positive. In my experience Americans associate England with the quaint rural vision I conjured up earlier or alternatively, with the iconic sights of London. I have carried out a quick unscientific poll among American friends and the names that immediately sprung into their minds as typifying the English people were:

HRH The Queen

Lady Diana

Princes William and Harry and the new Duchess of Cambridge.

Sir Winston Churchill

David Beckham

The Rolling Stones

Elton John

Hugh Grant (Really? How embarrassing)

Harry Potter

Tom Jones ( Actually a Welshman but I forgive them)
