News that Somali athlete Mohammed Farah, who represented Great Britain on the world stage using a passport of convenience, has forsaken the country that gave him sanctuary, should come as no surprise to anyone. Long gone are the days when British citizenship, confirmed by holding a British passport, actually meant something and was a source of pride.
The British passport was once a valuable, much sought after document which bestowed upon the holder a certain status that no other document could bestow.
The treacherous political class in their determination to ethnically cleanse Great Britain and impose their unwanted multi-cultural agenda on its people have downgraded British citizenship comparable to that of a shabby penal colony and devalued the British passport comparable to that of a couple of sheets of bogroll.
As soon as he became famous as a result of his Olympic success, publicity hungry politicians and celebrities alike jumped on the Mohammed Farah bandwagon hoping to associate themselves with his stardom and bask in reflected glory.
In a sordid quest for votes, the political charlatans indulged in an undignified competition as to who could recommend the highest honour to bestow on someone who has turned out to be nothing more than a carpetbagger.
He was made a Commander of the British Empire ahead of more worthy heroes. Some backscratchers and bum suckers expressed their disappointment that he wasn't made a Knight of the Realm. I am sure many will agree that Sir Mohammed doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Sir Lancelot, Sir Percival or Sir Tristram.
'Childe Mohammed To The Dark Tower Came' doesn't cut it as classic English poem either.
This sort of nonsense devalues the Honours system and renders any award worthless. It must be noted that this devaluation is part and parcel of the cultural replacement agenda and the general downgrading of Great Britain and its institutions.
Those who live in the real world and who are immune to the PR men and their spin machines, suspected from the outset that Farah would turn out to be just another ingrate who would extol the virtues of being British when it suited him but act differently when it didn't. We've seen it all before especially in the field of sport.
Mohammed Farah follows, among others, Zola Budd, a white South African girl who was given a British passport in a matter of weeks in order for her to compete in the 1984 Olympic Games. She came in seventh in her signature race after which her career petered out. The so called British girl then moved back to South Africa at the earliest opportunity.
Mohammed Farah is a born and bred Somali who spent some time next door in Djibouti and came to Britain at the age of eight. He is quoted as saying that "England is where I grew up. I don't know nothing but England".
He obviously doesn't know that using a double negative makes his sentence mean the opposite but I digress. It turns out that he moved to Hounslow and anyone who has visited this blighted town will know there is nothing remotely English about Hounslow anymore.
It also beggars belief that he has no memories at all before the age of eight. With no memories of Somalia and Djibouti, he is asking us to believe that his conscious life started at the age of eight in Hounslow.
Some people have commented that his father, Mukhtar Farah, was born in England (Hounslow, actually) and has paid his taxes, therefore he is entitled to bring in his son to England. Mohammed Farah is the result of a holiday liaison so the question must be asked as to why he didn't come to England from birth and not wait until eight years had elapsed and his athletic potential had started to become apparent?
Mohammed had all the advantages of being British which are not available in Somalia or Djibouti. This included taxpayer funded education and healthcare; he also attracted Lottery funding and other benefits showered on high potential athletes and sportsmen.
His hypocrisy shines through like the Olympic torch in the dark cellar of a London crack house. Mohammed parades himself publicly with Robbie Williams in an effort to persuade the British Chancellor of the Exchequer to clamp down and intimidate those people and companies who legally minimize their exposure to Great Britain's penal taxes. But when the filthy lucre starts to roll in he abandons the country that made him what he is for a more tax friendly abode.
Unfortunately for Mohammed he has been badly advised because Oregon is a socialist controlled dystopia with ever increasing taxation and the Progressive in Chief across the water has declared a war on high earners as he pursues his socialist policy of income redistribution.
One day when the hippies, socialists and 'progressives' have been driven from office and the value of citizenship has been restored, people like Mohammed Farah will only be allowed to compete for the country of their birth.
There is nothing more dispiriting for the genuine British citizen, settled immigrants included, than the sight of a Somali wrapped in the Union Flag receiving the adulation of the crowd then dumping on them from great height in order to stuff his own pockets with money.
Representation in international sport has become more than a joke, it's a complete farce and nothing encapsulates this more than the Manchester United footballer Adnan Januzaj.
Born in Brussels of complex parentage and holding a Belgian passport, he qualifies to play international football for Belgium, Albania, Turkey, Serbia and Kosovo. If he stays in England for four more years he will qualify to represent England.
Representing ones country in sport used to engender feelings of pride and patriotic enthusiasm, where such emotions were used as a motivating factor. How can someone like Adnan Januzaj have such emotions let alone use them as a motivating factor when he has no loyalty to any country in particular.
He has already been called up to play for Belgium, the country of his birth, and has refused, stating that he has not decided which country to represent. He says that he is minded to play for Albania.
This is complete nonsense and highlights the fact that if he cannot be loyal to the country of his birth, how can he be loyal to a country he has never visited nor has any identification with its people? The same goes for Zola Budd, Mohammed Farah and the rest.
In plain language these people are mercinaries who's loyalty will eventually be decided by the country that gives them the most adulation and money making opportunities.
The ludicrous situation of foreigners representing the host country has a debilitating effect on real born and bred English sports people. Foreigners do not have the same pride in wearing the country's sporting attire nor singing the national anthem.
These feelings are articulated by Arsenal and England star player Jack Wilshire. When asked his opinion he stated the following:
"If you live in England for five years it doesn't make you English. We are English. The only people who should play for England are English people".
It must be said that footballers have a reputation for not being the smartest people on the planet but Jack Wilshire has articulated what everyone outside of the 'progressive' self loathing, multi-cultural community is thinking.
Jack's thinking and logic is crystal clear - "If I go to Spain and live there for five years I'm not going to play for Spain".
To the politically correct collaborators who run English football this kind of talk is blasphemy and like night follows day Jack Wilshire was forced to clarify.
"The question was, should foreign players be allowed to play for England and in my opinion they should not. Januzaj is a great player, I wish he was English".
Just to let the collaborators, the politicians and the rest of the 'progressive', self loathing community know, Jack Wilshire speaks for every decent freeborn Englishman not you.
In conclusion I believe that mercenaries and carpetbaggers like Mohammed Farah, Adnan Januzaj, Zola Budd, et al should enjoy their fame and fortune but they should not profess loyalty to a country where their connections are tenuous then desert it when it suits them to do so.
Guido Fawkes take on the Farah treachery here.

Google Tax Efficiency - Political Hypocrites Claim The Moral High Ground
When the tax affairs of multi-national companies hits the news emotion seems to take over from common sense. Emotions are stirred by the fact that working people are forced to pay penal rates of taxes under threat of imprisonment while big corporations, including multi-nationals, get off lightly because they have the resources to study the law and legally pay the minimum that is required.
The fact is that these corporations are only doing what every other taxpayer on the planet, myself included, is doing i.e paying the absolute minimum they are legally required pay, not a penny more or a penny less.
The recent fuss over the tax affairs of Google, Starbucks, Apple, Amazon et al. has been manufactured by the global political class to facilitate getting their grubby fingers on more private sector wealth for them to squander on their global 'progressive' agenda and bribing the voters in their re-election bids.
Although the tax codes are grossly complicated, the issues relating to the political interference is not. Because the CEO's of these companies are doing nothing illegal the politicians are calling their morality into question.
How the public can fall for this nonsense is beyond comprehension. The political class, one of the most despicable groups of venal, hypocritical charlatans on the planet, is smearing a group of successful, innovative business people as being immoral.
When Google's UK boss Matt Brittin appeared before the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, his defence of his company's tax affairs was sound. What his company is doing is totally within the law therefore, he says, it is up to politicians to legislate if they wanted to force a change.
In a statement of breath taking hypocrisy he was informed by the PAC Chairman, Margaret Hodge MP, that "we are not accusing you of being illegal. We are accusing you of being immoral".
This is the same Margaret Hodge who's family company Stemcor paid a measly $243,350 tax on $3.2 billion in UK business and a paltry $1.2 million on $1.1billion globally in 2011. This is the same Margaret Hodge who threatens sue anyone who suggests any impropriety in her tax affairs.
People who live in the real world are not specifically 'accusing Hodge of being illegal' but they are most definitely 'accusing her of being immoral'... and a colossal hypocrite to boot.
Incidentally, this is also the same Margaret Hodge who as leader of the loony left Islington Council, presided over child abuse scandal that shocked nation and got away with it without punishment.
The House of Commons is a veritable den of immoral tax cheats, as evidenced by the house flipping scandal whereby 'Honourable' Members changed the designation of their primary residences to claim expenses and allowances or to immorally avoid paying capital gains tax.
Tax avoidance is not confined to Great Britain, its a global issue. Who better to sort it out than macho PR Prime Minister, 'Call Me Dave' Cameron who made tax avoidance top of the agenda at the recent G8 summit.
What they didn't discuss at their choreographed, no tie summit was the immoral tax avoidance scams of their own political elite.
French socialist government tax avoiders
Greek socialist Prime Minister Papandreau's alleged involvement in an immoral family tax avoidance scam
USA Democrat immoral Charles Rangel's tax avoidance scams
Even American Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner was exposed as an immoral tax cheat
The question that the global political elite needs to answer is, what do they intend to do with all this extra money? They don't exactly have a great track record of spending taxpayers money efficiently.
Would they use it to deal with the deficits and the unsustainable debts they have irresponsibly run up?
Would they use it to shore up the military capabilities they are dismantling in the face of the global jihad and a nuclear armed Iran?
Would they use it to lower the deliberately high energy prices that is crippling their own people and making their economies uncompetitive?
Using past behavior as a guide they will squander the extra money on:
Increased welfare entitlements for purpose of increasing dependency for the underclass in exchange for votes.
Increase in foreign aid for blood soaked dictators and another $1.5 billion for the professional aid consultants in what is now an industry in itself.
Perhaps another $18.6 billion on useless IT projects for the NHS
Maybe $49 billion on an unwanted High speed railway that is projected to shave a mere 15 minutes off the journey time between London and Birmingham.
Untold billions on welfare payments and public services for the continuing policy of open border mass immigration.
The list is endless, however it must said that money is more efficiently spend by individuals and the private sector than by wasteful, career politicians.
Google, Apple, Starbucks etc. are more likely to spend their hard earned money on things that will benefit their businesses and by extension the people, than any politician who only has eyes on their own personal agenda which includes their re-election.

French Socialist Government - Tax Havens, Hypocrisy and Utter Stupidity
The prevailing view that socialists are hypocrites who are incapable of rational thought, or that they are incapable of thinking outside the confines of their ideology, is justified by the rank stupidity and hypocrisy of the French government and its hangers on.
Socialists have always portrayed themselves as morally superior to everyone else. They believe that their ideology is so pure it might have come down from Heaven on tablets of stone instead of from the pen of an idle, grey bearded layabout who sponged off a wealthy industrialist who himself claimed to be a communist.
When Francois Hollande was elected to the French presidency on a socialist platform, which included a promise to squeeze the fat cats and hit 'the rich' with a 75% wealth tax, those people who live in the real world knew it would unravel sooner rather than later.
Like all socialists Hollande is an unreconstructed hypocrite who is quoted as saying that "I don't like the rich" but employed one of France's richest men, publisher Jean-Jacques Augier, to run his election campaign.
Hollande also made the money loving Jerome Cahuzac his Budget Minister, with the added brief of launching a fight against tax evasion.
If the predictable exodus of French talent, including the high profile departure of Gerard Depardeau, wasn't enough of an embarrassment, then Hollande must have been looking for the earth to swallow him up when his two big appointments were exposed as tax evaders.
To the sound of mirth and laughter around the world, French socialist purity took a knock when it was revealed that Jean-Jacques Augier stashes his loot in the Cayman Islands.
Perhaps he was inadvertently caught up in Budget Minister Cahuzac's fight against against tax evasion.
If this treachery to the socialist cause came as a shock to President Hollande, then the revelation that his warrior against tax evasion had a stash of loot in a Swiss bank account must have given him serious palpitations.
When a politician like Cahuzac dismisses rumours of tax evasion, fraud and money laundering as "crazy", the warning lights should flash and the bells should start ringing. Hollande ignored them and paid the price.
The mirth and laughter returned as Hollande was forced into a humiliating climb down and he is now promising a new law aimed at controlling the wealth of his own supposedly socialist Ministers and making the information public.
Despite all the evidence from history that it doesn't work, Hollande's plan for rescuing France's dire economic free fall was vintage socialist stupidity. Besides the 75% tax on 'the rich' there were new taxes on bank profits, dividends, bonuses, stock options, 'big business', energy companies, wealthy households etc. By combining some of these new taxes, it has been calculated that some net worth individuals would be paying a marginal rate of 90.5%.
For those who can remember, this is no different to Great Britain during the Labour Party years of Harold Wilson and Denis Healy. These two socialist geniuses had similar tax rates which helped bankrupt the economy, as a result they had to go grovelling to the International Monetary Fund for a loan.
To anyone other than a socialist, the results of Hollande's policies were predictable, the exodus of talent picked up pace, tax revenue went through the floor and the economy slumped even further into the abyss. Unemployment is at a record 11% with under 25's at 26%. France's debt has surpassed 90% of GDP and rising.
In addition to its disastrous effect on the economy, the French Courts ruled his 75% tax unconstitutional. One would think that Hollande would use this as an excuse for a rethink but no, he is a socialist after all so he must be right. He is now planning a hit on wealthy football players.
At this point it must be acknowledged that Hollande is beyond help, he is incapable of thinking outside of his perverted ideology. The French people who voted him President because of his anti rich rhetoric will now pay the price with a wrecked economy and high unemployment for a generation.
The economic debacle playing out in France should be a warning to the British people across the Channel. On his accession to the French Presidency, Hollande suddenly found himself with a new Best Friend Forever in fellow socialist Red Ed Miliband.
Hollande and Miliband, being soul mates, are going to present an alternative to the current policy of austerity, in order to get economic growth moving in European Union La La Land. They plan to tackle borrowing, spending and ruinous national debts by borrowing and spending even more. This plan is so simple its bordering on genius. Why anyone didn't think of this before is a total mystery.
After the disastrous Wilson/Callaghan/Healy Labour governments of the 60's and 70's one is entitled to think that subsequent governments would learn that socialism doesn't work. Thirteen years of Red Ed's Labour government borrowing and spending the British economy into bankruptcy proved everyone wrong.
Red Ed's enthusiasm for socialism has not been dimmed one iota. Taxing, borrowing and spending is the only way he knows, he is incapable of any other rational thought despite the all the examples of socialism's failure littered throughout history.
Worryingly, Red Ed is currently ahead in the polls and if an election is held in the near future he will most likely be 'Great' Britain's version of Francois Hollande. Heaven help us all.
An article for the Guardian last year by none other than that pillar of Labour Party integrity, Denis McShane, lays the relationship between Hollande and Miliband open for all to see.
Read this and despair.
