The Fall of Notre Dame Symbolizes The Fall of France.







Millions watched the live broadcasts of the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris going up in flames, but my attention was drawn to moving news tape at the bottom of the screen. As the flames engulfed the roof and the spire it stated that the authorities had categorically ruled out arson.

As the tape progressed across the screen it then stated that the authorities intended to initiate a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire.

Categorically ruling out arson while the fire is still spreading, and before an investigation into its cause, was bound to invite suspicion from the inquisitive.

Due to the censorship routinely employed by the government the world was unaware that Christian places of worship in France had been subjected to a campaign of desecration for some time with twelve churches desecrated in the week preceding the fire.

These included the equally iconic Churches of St Sulpice and St Raphael which were severely damaged and set alight in an arson attack.

We now know that over eight hundred churches have been attacked in France previous to the Notre Dame fire so how the authorities can rule out arson or foul play when the fire is still spreading and before an investigation is completed requires an explanation. 

Christianity in France has been under fire from both secularists and Muslims for some time so it would be interesting to know what information the authorities had on these two groups during lead up to the fire.

It’s almost as if the authorities in France don’t want the country or the world to know how and why these churches are being destroyed because the destruction of Christianity in France is seen as a welcome development by the government of the globalist disciple, President Emmanuel Macron.

Even before President Macron came to power the downgrading of Christianity and the subsequent upgrading of Islam was unofficial government policy so it is unlikely anyone will be brought to book if it was discovered that secularists or Muslims started the fire deliberately.

President Macron is a fanatical globalist and Europhile who is determined that France will be fully integrated into a multi-cultural United States of Europe. To that end the traditional France we know today must be destroyed as a separate culture and entity.

As a consequence of this cultural replacement agenda many areas of  Paris, the capital city once known as the City of Love and of Light, resemble the litter strewn slums of Calcutta or the refugee camps of Africa and the Middle East.





The destruction and desecration of the Churches in France match perfectly the destruction and desecration of the streets of Paris and other cities around France such as Calais and Dunkirk.  

To progress the integration of France into the United States of Europe President Macron recently signed the Treaty of Aachen with the megalomaniac German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This treaty aims to make the two countries a single entity which includes the erasure of national borders and the use of a common language.

President Macron is very young President who has been under the influence of his school teacher/wife throughout his formative years so his knowledge of recent Franco-German history could be suspect.

If he thinks after signing the Treaty of Aachen France and Germany will be equal partners, then his knowledge of recent history is definitely suspect.

Under the influence of his wife and Angela Merkel President Macron is beyond reason and this can be demonstrated by his dictatorial attitude and violent response to the Yellow Vest protests that have engulfed France for months and which show no signs of abating.




Like Great Britain, France has reached a fork in the road, one way leads to independence, democracy and prosperity, the other to submersion into a centrally controlled, German dominated dictatorship that it will be impossible to free itself from by peaceful or democratic means.

Like the ruined Parthenon in Athens symbolizes the descent of Greek civilization into oblivion so the ruined Cathedral of Notre Dame could do the same for France.

Apocalypse Now - The British People Are Doomed






If the apocalyptic forecast from the globalists in the British government and beyond are to be believed one would conclude that the British people are about enter a new dark age of poverty, misery and destitution, should they go ahead and leave the European Union.

There are going to be shortages of everything that the people need to maintain their current standard of living including basic foodstuffs, medicine and money as the economy collapses and jobs are lost. 

Transportation is going to grind to a halt, airplanes will be grounded, and the roads gridlocked from the channel ports to the distribution centers across the country.

The people will be reduced to eating their pets, washing in the nearest river and burning cow pats to keep warm. 

The only possible way to avoid this nightmare scenario is for the British people to change their minds about Brexit and surrender the governance of their country to the unelected European Union bureaucrats in Brussels.

These bureaucrats and their puppets in Parliament believe that the British people are not qualified to decide how they are governed now, and in the future, and decisions of this magnitude should be left to them because they know what’s best.

This is what is known as Project Fear. A massive propaganda campaign by the government and their Europhile allies to scare the British people into remaining subject to the EU autocracy.

The truth of course is somewhat different. Great Britain is the fifth largest economy in the world with the City of London being one of the biggest financial centers generating tens of billions in revenue.

According to the City Momentum Index, London comes in at No 4 and according to the Henry Jackson Society’s Audit of Geopolitical Capability, Great Britain comes second to the United States of America. (See here and here)

Great Britain is a nuclear power with a seat on the UN Security Council and in possession of a powerful military machine, although this is being deliberately downgraded in preparation for it to be absorbed into Mad Angela Merkel’s EU military.

The very idea that a country like Great Britain cannot survive unless it is governed by some anonymous, unelected bureaucrats from a foreign land is ridiculous beyond belief and it speaks volumes about the people who are using Project Fear to scare a people who do not scare easily.   

Some of us who were lucky enough to enjoy a good, non-brainwashing education and who paid attention during history lessons will have learned about the stoicism of this hardy island race.

We learned that the French surrender in June 1940 completed Hitler’s takeover of continental Europe and left Great Britain isolated. With supply convoys running the gauntlet of U-Boats the British people actually did suffer the shortages and deprivation described earlier in Project Fear. 

As well as being bombed by the Luftwaffe they endured rationing of food and almost all goods and commodities and against all the odds they survived to go on and rebuild their country and become a great nation once again.

If the British people can survive that they can survive leaving the corrupt and failing EU with barely a hiccup.

The kind of people who are trying to frighten the British into surrendering their hard won birthright to the EU are the kind of people that surrendered France and the other European countries to Hitler’s Germany in 1940.

They are comprised of traitors, cowards and quislings and when the day of reckoning comes, they should answer for their crimes and if found guilty punished accordingly.

Free Speech Is A Threat To Democracy – Government Censorship Is Not




One of the more worrying instincts of the modern political class is their tendency to lapse into totalitarianism whenever their actions are opposed or even questioned by the people they are supposed to serve.

At the same time as the unelected global elite are working relentlessly to remove a democratically elected president in the United States and to overturn the democratic Brexit referendum result in Great Britain they have declared Twitter and Facebook to be the enemies of democracy.

The advent of social media has allowed billions of people around the free world to communicate with each other without their discourse first being laundered through the various government propaganda machines where unorthodox and unapproved opinions are challenged or removed.

For decades the global ruling elite have had a monopoly on the means of communication and as a result they have used insidious propaganda to impose groupthink on pre-conditioned minds. Social media led by Twitter and Facebook ended their monopoly allowing alternative opinions to challenge their imposed orthodoxy.

It is the alternative to this imposed orthodoxy that resulted in the election of a political outsider in the USA and the British people voting to liberate themselves from the corrupt, authoritarian European Union.

The reaction of the global elite was not to accept the will of people but to clamp down on their ability to exchange opinions freely which they regard as one of the the root causes of their defeat. In the process they have confirmed what the people already knew, i.e. they do not believe in democracy or the freedoms that have been hard won and paid for in blood over the centuries.

These freedoms include the inalienable right to freedom of speech which in turn is one of the pillars of democracy.

Their attacks on freedom of speech have been gathering pace since the gap between what the people want and what the elite are imposing became an unbridgeable yawning chasm.

Recent actions by the leaders of the European nation states shatters once and for all the idea that they believe in democracy or that they have anything but contempt for the people they have sworn to serve.

The following headlines demonstrate their willingness to use totalitarian methods to silence and intimidate anyone who questions their globalist agenda.

Great Britain: Due to their continued membership most of the EU countries are well on their way to third world banana republic status but Great Britain? Surely not that Sceptred Isle with its history of democracy and its Mother of Parliaments?

Its sad but true, being a globalist and EU fanatic, Prime Minister Theresa May has declared Twitter and Facebook to be the enemies of democracy.






Germany: No one should be surprised that a mentally unstable communist party apparatchik from the former East Germany would be a totalitarian.




Sweden: Europe’s most high profile basket case who will be added to the UN’s list of third word countries by 2030.




France: It didn’t take the new boy-king to long to start using his authority against democracy and the French people.



And so it goes on; from Italy and Greece to Ireland and the Netherlands, censorship is the order of the day because the ruling elite refuse to respect and implement the will of the people.

As democracy is undermined, the people of Europe have no way to redress their grievances and as their countries and cultures are willfully destroyed their only recourse will be civil disorder and violence.

British Prime Minister Surrenders To The French Boy King






Since the overthrow of Margaret Thatcher by her own inner circle, the British people have suffered a series of treacherous Prime Ministers who have put the agenda of the globalists above that of their country and the people they have sworn to serve.

The political assassination of Mrs. Thatcher came about because of her patriotism and allegiance to Queen and country and her steadfast refusal to surrender its sovereignty to the European Union.

Not only did she stand up to the European Union bureaucrats and the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the EU nation states, she also stood up to her enemies inside the British political establishment at home. This included her own Conservative Party and the overwhelmingly Europhile Westminster Parliament.

Her unshakable belief in the greatness of Great Britain and the ability of the British people to govern themselves was not shared by her treacherous colleagues in government who had transferred their loyalty from the elected Westminster Parliament in London to the un-elected European Union Commission in Brussels.

The current Prime Minister of Great Britain is the polar opposite to the resolute and patriotic Iron Lady who steadfastly refused to yield to the bullying tactics of the EU autocrats.

Theresa May has earned the moniker ‘Theresa the Appeaser’ for her continual caving in to the demands of the EU negotiators no matter how unreasonable and outrageous they may be.

To the growing frustration of the British people she refuses to stand up to the bullying and continues to surrender despite holding all the aces in her hand as well as having the biggest mandate in British electoral history.

Things came to a head recently when she met with the newly elected President of France, Emmanuel Macron; she did nothing but grovel and acquiesce to his demands while playing second fiddle to his public grandstanding.

The humiliation began when Macron unilaterally tore up the Le Touquet Treaty which has been in force since 2003 and imposed a new one with no input or objections from Theresa May. This Treaty processes asylum seeker claims on the French side of English Channel saving time and the cost of repatriating them back to France should they fail.

With full knowledge of the British people’s hostility to mass immigration, particularly illegal immigration from staging points located at the French channel ports, Mrs. May agreed to give the French a further $64 million on top of the $240 million already handed over for border security.

Mrs. May has agreed to accept 700 or more unaccompanied children knowing that the last batch were not child refugees but adult economic migrants with a sprinkling of jihadists returning from the battlefield.

It must be noted at this point that calls for dental checks to confirm the age of these so-called children were turned down as being inhumane and therefore against their human rights.

Without a care for the views of the British people she also agreed to decrease the process time for adult asylum seekers from six months to one month and for so-called unaccompanied minors from six months to twenty-five days.

How minors from the war zones of the Middle East and Africa make their way across deserts, seas and continents unaccompanied is not explained but as usual I digress.

As a slap in the face for the brave men and women in uniform who are being systematically starved of funds she has agreed to give military assistance in the form of helicopters, personnel and money to help fight insurgents in France’s former African colonies.

To rub in his dominance and in a final humiliation for Great Britain and its Prime Minister, President Macron, in return for all this largess and munificence, agreed to loan the Bayeux tapestry for display in England sometime in the year 2022.

This historic icon depicts the defeat of the English by the French at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Macron may be a wet-behind-the-ears student from the Justin Trudeau school of delayed adolescents but he knows that once his dominance had been established and accepted by his adversary he can bully to his hearts content.





Its a sad day when a French 40 year old career bureaucrat and politician issues any warning to Great Britain let alone what to do with its money, its borders and what its immigration policy should be.

President Macron along with his predecessors blame the generous British welfare system available to all and sundry for the migrant crisis in Calais and the channel ports. 

The truth is that the French government allows them to travel unhindered across the entire length and breadth of France to get to the channel ports instead of applying for asylum in the first safe country they enter as required by the Geneva Convention.


Nobody is being fooled by this phony ‘refugee crisis’ nonsense. Prime Minister May and President Macron are fully aware that these people are not refugees or asylum seekers but economic migrants looking for a better life at the expense of the British taxpayers interspersed with returning jihadists.


Thanks to Theresa May’s weakness, the EU bureaucrats and the leaders of the EU nation states are circling like sharks that have sensed blood in the water. The demands and warnings are coming thick and fast without rebuttal.

The EU bureaucrats know that Theresa May is a life-long Europhile who believes wholeheartedly in the European superstate project; her heart is not in Brexit and therefore she will not deliver what the British people voted for.

The term ‘Brexit-in-name-only’ - BINO - has now become the accepted description of the stitch-up Theresa the Appeaser is organizing in defiance of the referendum result.

Smeared And Insulted Marine Le Pen Remains France’s Last Hope





Despite heavy censorship and attempts by the mainstream media to convince the world otherwise, the French Republic is in a downward spiral towards ignominious third world status. Its major cities are consumed by violent civil disorder and indiscriminate death and destruction perpetrated by Muslim jihadists in search of martyrdom and its associated brothel of houris. (France's death spiral here)

The French capital city, Paris, is known both as the City of Lights because of its leading role in the Age of Enlightenment and the City of Love by virtue of its popularity as a honeymoon destination, is now in the process of being irrevocably transformed and disfigured by the twin scourges of imposed multi-culturalism and socialism.

Open border mass immigration is rapidly turning this once beautiful city of Love and of Light into a dangerous, ghetto infested war zone where terrorist attacks have been especially bloody and where the police are struggling to keep order and the Parisian people safe.

Other French cities on the northern coastal regions such as Calais, Dieppe and Dunkirk have been disfigured by lawless refugee camps inhabited by tens of thousands of economic migrants and welfare colonists who traversed the entire country unimpeded in order to gain access to the welfare entitlement Utopia across the English Channel.(France has a Problem with unwanted immigration and Islam here)

Even the playgrounds of the rich and famous on the French Riviera are not immune from cultural enrichment courtesy of the Religion of Peace as the Bastille Day massacre of the innocents in Nice so bloodily demonstrated.

Of all the candidates in the up and coming French presidential election only Marine Le Pen offers deliverance from this nightmare and an end to the continued surrender of French sovereignty to the unelected bureaucrats of the EU.

Since the Brexit vote and the determination of the British people to regain their surrendered sovereignty the EU bureaucrats, led by Germany’s unstable Chancellor Angela Merkel, have accelerated their drive to replace the individual nation states with a single European superstate.

This action has no merit except to serve as an obstacle to prevent other nations that yearn to be free from following the British example and leaving the EU.
   
The departure of France from the EU would herald the end for the hated institution, along with its associated gravy train; therefore the bureaucrats have mobilized every weapon at their disposal both at home and abroad to prevent a Marine Le Pen presidency.

Along with the rest of the bought-and-paid-for mainstream media, whenever the BBC mention Ms. Le Pen’s name it is always prededed by the words ‘far-right’ without fail and without exception. This is an old tactic used by the media in order to associate her and her Front Nationale with Fascists and Nazi’s despite the fact both of these entities were self-confessed socialist political movements.

Ms. Pen’s signature policies in her campaign are common sense and similar to those of mainstream political parties in other EU member states. These policies include negotiations to reform the EU followed by a referendum, automatic expulsion for illegal immigrants, legal immigration capped at 10,000 per year, closing extremist mosques, French nationals to get priority with social housing, retirement age fixed at 60 and a 35 hour working week. 

The bulk of these policies are identical to those of Great Britain’s former Prime Minister, David Cameron, who was universally regarded as a dripping wet member of the liberal/progressive community.

There are no goose stepping armies, no cattle trucks, concentration camps, gas chambers or anything else associated with the Fascists or the Nazi’s but the media persist on labelling her and her party as ‘far-right’.

The current President, Francois Hollande, is a dedicated socialist who’s tax and spend economic policies have been instrumental in wrecking the French economy but does not attract the permanent epithet of ‘far-left’.



Neither does Ms. Le Pen's main rival for the presidency, Emmanuel Macron, despite being an economic advisor to President Hollande and becoming his economy minister.  His history as a socialist enforcer does not attract any epithet at all and he laughably claims his newly formed ‘En Marche’ party is neither left nor right.

The tax cutting, government shrinking policies of her other main rival, Republican candidate Francois Fillon, cause palpitations and exploding heads among the French liberal/progressive community and under normal circumstances would attract the ‘far-right’ epithet. Unfortunately for Fillon his campaign has stalled due to accusations of corruption allegedly involving illicit payments to his wife and children.

The worst label that Socialist Party candidate Benoit Hamon attracts is a fairly benign ‘left-wing rebel’ which just about describes the ruling clique of the British Labour Party and a whole host of MEP’s in the EU's rubber stamp Parliament.

The Left Party candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon doesn’t attract an extremist epithet at all despite having the backing of the French Communist Party.

Not even Nathalie Arthaud Lutte Ouvriere an actual far-left hack representing the  Trotskyist Workers Struggle Party can attract the ‘far-left’ moniker in the same BBC article.(See the article here)

Apart from Marine Le Pen both the other viable contenders, Macron and Fillon, are in thrall to German Chancellor Merkel and fully on board with her EU superstate project. That means the continued descent of France into ignominious third world mediocrity and continued cultural replacement via open border mass immigration. (Merkel mandated superstate here)

#JeSuisFrance will be just another hashtag campaign which will disappear from the news cycle as did #Charlie Hedbo and #Nice campaigns. Lighting up the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe in the French colors will become a regular feature since Chancellor Merkel will forbid any practical action to stop the terrorists.
   
Marine Le Pen is singled out for special treatment by the political elite and their mainstream media propagandists because she poses a real threat to the EU project and its global counterpart therefore for lovers of liberty, free enterprise and limited government she is the only candidate to support.


                                                                  Vive la France

Hijabgate - Marine Le Pen Puts Her Dignity Before Appeasing Islamists




The difference between a woman who puts her principles and dignity before votes and spineless appeasers who would sell both was made abundantly clear when French Presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, refused to don a Muslim hijab to meet a representative of Islam.

During a visit to Lebanon she was scheduled meet Sunni Muslim leader, the Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, who requires women to don the oppressive headdress before appearing in his presence.

In solidarity with oppressed Muslim women the world over, and also to maintain her dignity and that of her country, she refused to comply.

Since Madam Le Pen had previously met the Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt without such a degrading requirement one can only assume that the Grand Mufti of Lebanon was using the meeting to demonstrate the dominance of Islam not only over women but also over a possible future President of France.

On the same visit she had meetings with the Christian President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, the Sunni Prime Minister, Saad al- Harriri and the Maronite Patriarch of Antioch and the Levant, Cardinal Mar Bachara al-Rai, without any requirement to demean herself or France by surrendering her dignity.

Contrast this to the recent Swedish delegation to Iran who prior to their visit self-identified as the first feminist government in the world with promises to promote a “gender equality perspective internationally” and to adopt “a feminist foreign policy” in which “equality between women and men is a fundamental aim”.

Their grandiose feminist credentials and lofty feminist rhetoric was ignominiously surrendered when they allowed themselves to be publicly paraded before the medieval misogynistic leader of Iran, President Rouhani, wearing hijabs, chadors and long coats.


For those who follow the European scene Sweden is the highest profile example of the disastrous policy of government imposed multi-culturalism and Islamification using open border mass immigration from backward Muslim countries to slowly erase Swedish culture.

Despite widespread censorship violent crime, sexual assault, rape and murder committed by Muslim immigrants is endemic in Sweden where it is forecast that one in five Swedish women will be the victim of rape in the years to come.

By the UN’s own forecast Sweden will meet the requirements to qualify for third world status within the next thirty years.

If selling ones dignity by groveling before Islamic misogynist leaders is not bad enough, donning Islamic garb for votes is just as contemptible.


British Prime Minister, Theresa May is guilty along with Great Britain’s most prominent and vocal feminist politician, Harriet Harman, who both donned the degrading hijab when trawling the Muslim ghettos for votes.

It should be noted that Arab leaders don’t feel the need to adopt western style attire when visiting France, Great Britain, Sweden or anywhere else in the civilized world despite the inclement weather they rarely experience in their hot desert kingdoms.

Humiliating as it may be for a woman, wearing a headscarf may seem a minor issue in great global foreign affairs theatre but the French people would be unforgiving if Marine Le Pen had lowered herself before a representative of the same death cult that has maimed and killed hundreds of French citizens throughout her country from Charlie Hebdo in Paris to the Nice atrocity on Bastille Day.

It’s a shame that other female leaders around the world don’t follow her example and refuse to compromise their own dignity and that of their respective countries by groveling to uncivilized, medieval misogynists who are committed to destruction of the west and the domination of their murderous cult across the world.

The Fightback Begins - European Cities Erupt Into Violent Unrest




It doesn't take a genius to work out that the insertion of millions of backward, incompatible young migrants, mostly male, into the advanced civilized societies of Europe would eventually end in violence and civil strife.

The political elite running Europe on behalf of the UN de facto world government accepted this as a possibility and took steps to neutralize it by using intimidation, threats, rigidly policed political correctness and one-way hate crime laws applicable only to the indigenous citizens.

On top of this they used the various wholly owned government-media complexes to embark upon programs of pro multi-culturalist propaganda combined with censorship, which has been one of the favourite tools of authoritarians and tyrants down the ages.

Germany, the New Years eve rape and mass sexual assaults perpetrated by Muslim migrants in multiple cities was the first ominous sign of things to come. The lack of action by the government has resulted in an explosion of crimes committed not only by Muslims but by a variety of illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and economic migrants. (See here)

In response, Germany's obviously insane Chancellor, Angela Merkel, ordered the police to stand down and ignore any crimes committed by immigrants thus leaving her own citizens at the mercy of the invading hordes of hormonal young men from backward, misogynistic societies. (See here)

In a further indication of Merkel's insanity she has ignored this explosion of immigrant violence and decreed that Germany's borders remain open to millions more rapists, violent criminals and terrorists.


The German people have been abandoned by their government in favour of immigrants and they have had enough. Violent civil unrest has broken out with street fighting rampant across the country. Mad Merkel and her government refuse to accept that this violence is due to their policy of open border mass immigration, blaming instead 'right-wing' extremists. (Civil unrest and street fighting here)

Unless Merkel and her government accept that the deteriorating situation is due to mass immigration and take appropriate action then civil war is inevitable. (Muslim migrants raping women and children in German camps here)

Sweden, a developed European country once regarded as the perfect example of multi-culturalism, has been so disfigured by mass immigration the UN has projected it will officially become a Third World country by 2030, overtaking bankrupt Greece and Muslim dominated Belgium. (See here)

Sweden now has the dubious honour of being the rape capital of Europe and possibly the world, and like Germany, the authorities have responded with censorship, threats and intimidation against it's own citizens in favour of it's immigrant hordes.

The fightback by the Swedish people has brought this multi-cultural utopia to brink of civil war with the police reaching breaking point and unable to prevent attacks on migrants. (See here)

France and the French people, as the world knows, have been the victims of multiple terrorist attacks in the recent past but the political class stubbornly refuses to control it's borders preferring instead to subject it's citizens to rape, sexual assault, violent crime and mass murder.

The self inflicted wound of allowing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and economic migrants to traverse the country and set up camps around the channel ports and Paris has festered and burst.

Thwarted in their attempts to smuggle themselves into the welfare El Dorado that is Great Britain, combined with turf wars between different ethnic groups, has brought war to the streets of Paris, Calais and elsewhere. (See here)

Inter communal strife and violence is also breaking out in Great Britain, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece and Italy. To add to the conflagration Muslim migrants have gone on a terrifying rampage on the Austria/Italy border. (See here)


What we are witnessing is the collapse of Europe using open border mass third world immigration and I suggest the American people pay close attention before they vote in the up and coming Presidential election because the same fate awaits them should they make the wrong choice. (The collapse of Europe here)

In conclusion, the European nation states with their respective cultures and ways of life are being willfully destroyed by a global political elite hell bent on creating a new world government where they, the rich and powerful will rule over us the plebeians by diktat as opposed to consent.

British Labour Party Following France And Venezuela Down The Drain

When Venezuela recently became the latest in a long line of socialist failures one would have thought that politicians and advocates around the world would have learned from the bitter experience of its impoverished people.

How the late socialist tyrant Hugo Chavez aided by his successor, Nicholas Maduro, wrecked the economy of resource rich Venezuela should have acted as a salutary warning about how not to run an economy. Obviously the French socialists led by Francois Hollande were not paying attention, neither were the French people and now they are paying the price for their folly and greed.

The collapse of the French economy was inevitable the moment Francois Hollande was elected President on an unashamedly socialist ticket. The French people allowed themselves to be seduced by promises of increased welfare benefits, extended entitlements, shorter working hours, longer holidays, bigger pensions and the rest of the usual 'free stuff' - all paid for by taxing the 'rich'.

Along with cheating on his children and various mistresses, Hollande's name is synonymous with seventy five percent tax rates and a visceral hatred of the 'rich'. The fact that he is rich himself doesn't seem to register, but then again it never does with champagne socialists as the British can attest with a gang of their own, led by  Red Ed Miliband and his former leader Tony Blair.

Another take on champagne socialists here.

The collapse of the French economy and the resignation of the entire government is a testament to the failure of socialist policies and France joins other ignominious failures such as the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba, Greece South Africa, Zimbabwe etc. To this list can be added Great Britain when under the Labour governments of Wilson/Callaghan and Blair/Brown.

As was widely predicted, there was an exodus of talent and capital from the country led by the high profile defection actor Gerard Depardeu to Russia.

London, even with its penal levels of taxation, is home to the biggest population of expatriate French people who have chosen exile over living in Hollande's France.

His remedy to cure France's economic problems didn't get off to a very good start with Hollande's appointment of another socialist Prime Minister to replace the former one. In an attempt at justification, it was explained that Manuel Valls is a 'right wing' socialist' whatever that means. (Presumably that makes the former Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, a 'left wing' socialist)

On his painful return to earth and economic reality, Hollande's proposed cure for his own disastrous handling of the economy, which has seen unemployment rocket to record levels, includes, "lowering employers costs to spur job creation".

Just having to utter those blasphemous capitalists words must have been a painful experience for Hollande and it didn't get any easier. He also promised to "lower taxes, cut government spending and rethink the thirty five hour working week". Ouch! That must really have hurt.

In addition to these very un-socialist measures he is also begging indulgence from the EU bureaucrats with respect to France's EU commitments. This in itself is an admission that EU membership is an economic liability and a job killer, but I digress.

It is not only President Hollande and the French people who failed to learn about the socialist failures that have engulfed countries around the world from Venezuela to Zimbabwe, the British Labour party and its followers are no better. They are proposing the same disastrous policies of 'free stuff' paid for by the 'rich' to this very day.

The Labour Party leader, Red Ed Miliband was first out of the blocks congratulating Hollande on his election and lauding his economic policies. At this point Red Ed has made no comment about the economic collapse in France or the resignation of the Hollande government.

The fact that Red Ed is a life long Marxist is now accepted and that would explain his dedication to the socialist cause, but if anyone was under the impression that this mindless dedication is confined to the intellectually challenged, the emotionally retarded or the pimpled adolescents that frequent the student union bars, then they would be wrong.

Ed Balls, is one of the privileged elite who was expensively educated at an exclusive private school before going up to Oxford University. In line with the rest of the new cross party political order he gained a first class degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Following this he won a Kennedy scholarship to Harvard University where he specialized in economics. They don't come more qualified in economics than Ed Balls.

One has to be incredibly good at economics to quote as Balls did,  "the post neo-classical endogenous growth theory".

For the uninitiated, the British Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and senior Labour party figure, Ed Balls, is more than just the economic kamikaze pilot who, together with the misogynist Gordon Brown, crashed the British economy, he is also a bully and an insufferable ignoramus.

There are a multitude of contentious issues that surround this champagne socialist that clearly demonstrate just what a malignant piece of work he is.

Despite being as far removed as possible from the working class, and what to him are the great unwashed, his dedication to the socialist ideology that wrecked the British economy is absolute.

There is his inability to acknowledge, let alone apologise for, crashing the British economy and plunging millions of hard working families and pensioners into poverty.

There is his inability to acknowledge that there is any alternative whatsoever to the economic policies that have failed disastrously in France and Venezuela etc.

There is his willingness to participate in practices that would be considered as corruption outside of the cesspit of British politics that fixed it for him and his wife to enter Parliament representing neighbouring constituencies.

Then there is his willingness to push the boundaries of propriety in order for the British taxpayer to finance their champagne socialist lifestyle.

Ed Balls passes himself off as a champion of the poor and the downtrodden who, he claims, are victims of the dispassionate 'rich'. What he fails to mention that he his rich and privileged himself. He is also a member of the sinister Bilderberg group of elite global activists who, without a care for his carbon footprint,  has used the very unsocialist private jet of convicted felon Conrad Black for his personal transportation.

While working as editor of the Financial Times he was 'spotted' and groomed for high political office by person or persons unknown. He was given a manufactured position by the resident Labour Party loony Gordon Brown and 'parked' in the Smith Institute while a 'safe' seat was arranged for his entry into Parliament.

It is worth noting that:

a) The Smith Institute was a fake charity which according to many commentators was nothing other than a slush fund for Gordon Browns political aspirations. While waiting for his 'safe' seat Balls still had to bring home the bacon, so the Smith Institute paid him the princely sum of eighty nine thousand pounds for just two essays. Nice work if you can get it.

b) A 'safe' seat is one where the people mindlessly vote for party regardless of the damage it does to their own well being. The unscrupulous political class take full advantage of this collective stupidity to dump on the electorate a person who will follow the party agenda rather than represent the people.

After his manufactured entry into Parliament Ed Balls worked in the Treasury plotting the transformation of the British economy from a successful one into a catastrophic socialist one. When the Labour party won power in 1997 Gordon Brown was the Chancellor, so he Balls was appointed as the Minister for Children, Schools and Families - once there he set about wrecking the education system.

He instigated 'all must have prizes', grade inflation and made looking after every little bastard's self esteem a priority. He succeeded in churning out a generation of children who possessed high academic qualifications but who were barely literate and unable to master basic arithmetic.

It was working as Gordon Brown's boot boy and in his position as the Labour party's economic guru that Balls did the most damage.

In good old socialist fashion, they raised taxes and took spending to a whole new level; they fire hosed money into the black hole of unreformed public services, including the NHS, schools and welfare entitlements.

They expanded the government and its army of compliant bureaucrats that still blights the lives of the British people to this day.

They raised old taxes and instituted over one hundred new ones. Using fiscal drag they pushed more hard working people into the forty percent tax band than ever before.

Around forty two thousand pounds forces people into the forty percent tax bracket - when National Insurance contributions are taken into account, working class people are taxed at a punishing fifty two percent. Perhaps this is where Hollande got his ideas from.

They sold tons of Great Britain's gold reserves at a knock down price costing the taxpayer some four billion pounds.

They gave away Great Britain's rebate to the European Union, almost doubling taxpayers contributions for nothing in exchange.

They forced solvent banks to rescue insolvent ones causing both to crash.

The list of incompetence goes on and on but to cut to the chase, Balls, Brown, Miliband and the gang, increased taxes, spending and borrowing to record levels at the top of the economic cycle resulting in economic collapse, near bankruptcy and insurmountable debt.

It is sad to say that they, and the British people, have learned nothing from previous socialist failures. If the opinion polls are accurate, a general election held tomorrow would return the Labour party to office with Red Ed as Prime Minister and Ed Balls as Chancellor of the Exchequer, at which point it will be game over and the experience of the French people will be a tea party by comparison.

To end on a lighter note - The Labour party end their annual conference with the traditional singing of the communist anthem, The Red Flag.

I thought it would be fun to see Red Ed lead his party giving us a rendition. I came upon the lyrics and I think readers will find the second verse very apt considering recent events in France:

"Look around the Frenchman loves its blaze

 The sturdy German chants its praise

 In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung

 Chicago swells the surging throng"

Watch Red Ed doing his communist father proud, enjoy and feel free to laugh out loud, its hilarious.
