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.

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.

There'll Always Be An England? - Not After The Ethnic Cleansers Have Finished There Won't

News that a taxi driver in the English county of Devon has been threatened with losing her livelihood for displaying the English flag on her cab, may seem a minor incident, but looking deeper into the issue uncovers a concerted effort to ban the Cross of St George and discourage any form of English identity.

I would accept the charge of exaggeration or hyperbole but the anti-English behavior of the zealots in Devon is far from being an isolated incident.  Agenda driven bureaucrats from politicized institutions all across England, including local authorities, teachers and the police, are clamping down hard, using threats and intimidation, to discourage any display of English identity, no matter how small.

The fact that this is a concerted, coordinated effort to eradicate English symbols and identity by institutions all across England is indisputable proof that there is an official policy to replace English culture in England.

In the case of the cabbie in Devon, a mealy mouthed weasel from Teignmouth council named Mark Walters claimed that the small St George badges are "in breach of equality laws" and went on to say that the badges "puts anyone not English at a disadvantage in their day to day life".

This pathetic, anti-English apparatchik admitted that there was only a single complaint in over a year; which was all this jumped up little creep needed to puff up his chest and use his perceived authority to threaten an English lady with the loss of her livelihood.

Councillors in Thurrock, Essex called on the police to force taxi cab drivers to remove the St George flags from their vehicles despite the fact that it was St George's Day.  It's a pity that the new politicized police 'service' didn't demonstrate the same enthusiasm when Muslim hate preachers flew the crescent moon flag during the repatriation of the remains of British heroes from the war zones.

The words from an anonymous spokesweasel for Thurrock council demonstrates the arrogance of the modern day agenda driven bureaucrat and the assumption that they control the people rather than the other way round.  "In the spirit of St George's Day we are happy to let them display the flag but they will have to remove them after the event".  The use of we and they in this case should give cause for concern that the bureaucrats have a high opinion of themselves and assuming authority beyond their mandate.

On the south coast of England, taxi drivers in Southampton are being threatened by bureaucrats with the loss of their livelihoods for displaying signs informing customers that they speak English. This is a reaction to complaints that there is a plethora of taxi drivers in the town that are unable to communicate in England's native tongue.

An anti-English grievance monger and race baiter by the name of Ged Gubby claims this is racist, however if there were similar signs displaying an Urdu, Hindi or Swahili speaker Gubby claims this would not be racist.

I am sure that the author of this article, Alex Deane, speaks for us all when he muses thus:

'" I am left wondering - (1) how we ever let things get his far, when councils intrude into the lives of residents in such an absurd way; (2) how anyone on the said council could actually think that it was right to do so.; (3) why some people in this country hate our own language and flag so much".

The ethnic cleansing of English culture (de-homogenizing is the politically correct term) has been long planned and was clearly in evidence during the last World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa.

Binmen (garbage collectors to our American cousins) from the soccer mad city of Liverpool, were threatened with the sack if they displayed the flag of St. George in support of England's campaign. Taxi drivers in the East English county of Kent were similarly threatened.

An anonymous spokesweasel for the Enterprise-Liverpool garbage company blamed driver visibility and pedestrian safety for his anti-English actions while Roger Vick, the designated spokesweasel for the Kent licencing authority blamed public perception.

This faceless bureaucrat and anti-English enforcer is quoted as saying: "a taxi has to be seen as a public service vehicle".  He then proceeds to blabber on and patronise the cab users of Kent who he assumes must be totally incapable of spotting a taxi.

"If a taxi has flags this could create confusion as to whether it was a public service vehicle or not. We are not being killjoys. There is a degree of health and safety as well".

It's not just local council bureaucrats and the police who are aiding and abetting the ethnic cleansers; brainwashing the kids from an early age requires the cooperation of school teachers, many of whom are only too happy to oblige.

A government report found that politically correct teachers were punishing school kids by sending them home if they wore clothing which displayed the cross of St George.

The guilty people in the 'progressive' movement can try to deny it as much as they like but the evidence that there is a coordinated campaign to ethnically cleanse or de-homogenise, English culture is overwhelming. (See here for more St George ban behavior).

In conclusion it's worth showing two iconic women who represent the faces of England and let the reader decide which one is preferable:

Firstly, Vera Lynn, the wartime darling of the British forces, English patriot and tireless motivator of the British people during their darkest hour when the lonely fight against the National Socialist German Workers Party looked hopeless.

There'll Always Be An England ( to be inspired this is a must see video)

Read the lyrics here

Secondly by way of comparison here is Rotherham's own Common Purpose trained England hater Joyce Thacker.

Dogmatic multi-culturalism ( to be depressed this is a must see video)

Sincere apologies for invoking the odious spirit of Joyce Thacker on a Friday and no insult was intended by putting her on the same page as Vera Lynn.

I can only suggest that after watching Joyce Thacker one takes a long hot shower to cleanse the body then imbibe five fingers of your favourite tipple to cleanse the mind.


Update: It would appear that some clarification is in order with reference to my status and attitude.

I was born and bred in the South Wales coalfield. I am a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That's what it says on my passport.

I support the four unique cultures that make up the United Kingdom.

I have always been a fan of the English people and their culture from Shakespeare to the Premier League, from cricket to English ale. I recognize that England is the dominant culture of these islands.

That makes me a realist not a traitor.

Wales has played its part in British history and sacrificed blood and treasure to keep it free.

I am a proud Welshman.

I am also a British patriot.

I am not ashamed of who I am.

I am proud of British history.

I am not ashamed of our past.

God Bless England and the United Kingdom.

The Rotherham Scandal And The Ugly Face Of Progressivism

What has become clear as the fostering scandal unfolds is that Rotheram is a breeding ground for Labour Party 'progressives' who are intent on pushing through their demographic and cultural replacement agenda.

Rotherham until recently was just another run down, post industrial iron and steel town who's electorate would return a donkey to Parliament just so long as it was a Labour donkey.

Rotherham hit the headlines recently for two reasons.:

Firstly, their Member of Parliament, socialist Denis McShane, was forced to resign because according to his fellow MP's he had helped himself to taxpayers money that he wasn't entitled to.

The public take a different view, according to them Denis McShane is a common thief who stole their hard earned money and who should have been prosecuted instead of being allowed to resign with his gold plated pension intact.

Secondly, the Pakistani Muslim child sex grooming scandal, a horrifying episode which exposed Rotherham as a cesspit of 'progressive' activism and who's adherents are highly motivated multi-culturalists who will stop at nothing to impose their transformational agenda on the town.

There are no depths to which the political establishment, the police and the media in Rotherham will sink in order to protect their evil clients and their perverted agenda.

Muslim men, mainly from the Pakistani colony, were grooming underage white girls, some as young as ten, for sex and for prostitution with the full knowledge of the authorities.

Intelligence, including names, was given to the police and the local authorities by other victims, also by schools and by social workers that a child sex grooming ring was operating in Rotherham. They chose to ignore that information in order to protect, what some sycophants claim was ' cultural sensitivities'. In the real world this is known as political correctness.

Lets put this disgusting episode into stark language so that the people of Rotherham, Great Britain and the world can understand.

The police and the local authorities had information that young white girls were being groomed using drink and drugs then raped and used for prostitution by mainly Pakistani Muslim men. The police then made a conscious decision to ignore the plight of the young girls in order to protect their own politically correct, multi-cultural agenda.

Their former MP, the aforementioned expenses cheat Denis McShane demonstrated his commitment to the multi-cultural cause, and by doing so just how low a human being can sink, when he tried to blame the girls themselves or their parents. This is appalling behaviour by a supposedly civilised human being.

The Police Chief, David Crompton, tried to blame lack of resources indicating that child sexual abuse including rape was not the very highest priority for what resources he did have.

Council leader, Roger Stone didn't disappoint when he used the standard coward's defence of  "lessons have been learned". Obviously they haven't because according to some reports known sex offenders have not been prosecuted and they are still operating in Rotherham.

The Rotherham fostering scandal is further proof, if any were needed that, 'progessivism' with its cultural replacement agenda is thriving in this now morally bankrupt sewer of a town.

The Director of Children, Joyce Thacker, a Common Purpose trained enforcer has removed three happy children from their foster parents because their political views differ from hers.

It obviously hasn't entered her thick skull that the political views of the majority of the British people differ from hers.

Thacker is typical of the fanatical, stop at nothing 'progressives' that infest public life and who clearly operate outside of democratic control.

There are tens of thousands of similar Common Purpose operatives who are specially trained for 'leadership beyond authority in a post democratic age' burrowed into all British institutions from the local authorities to the biggest corporations and to the NHS and the BBC.

Their only agenda is the demolishing the Great Britain of the past and replacing it with an egalitarian, ideologically pure socialist state.

The resignation of expense cheat McShane has caused a byelection in Rotherham. It will be interesting to see if the electorate has learned anything from these scandals or of the true agenda of the Labour Party and its 'progressive' fanatics who gave Muslim paedophile sex gangs a higher priority than vulnerable, underage girls.
