This is the Coffee House Wall for this week. I won’t say that it is your chance to communicate with us, as we are all in this together. It is, nevertheless, the Conservative Blog post that has no particular theme, and where everything is on topic. Let’s just remember that we want to avoid ad hominem attacks on others. We don’t want to engage with trolls. We want to moderate our language ourselves as responsible and mature adults, choosing to use fruity language only where it is necessary. This is our opportunity to show what the Spectator Coffee House Wall could have been like.

The Enoch Powell Literary Trust seems to have archived lot of his written material. I assume the copyright went to whoever was the benefactor of that part of the will and they have decided to put it online.
http://enochpowell.info/
It is interesting how whenever there is a debate about Powell on newspaper chat threads, there are cries of ‘he said there’s be rivers of blood – I have never seen any!’
As usual, it’s a politically correct lie to put words in Powell’s mouth.
He said words to the effect that like the Roman he saw the river Tiber before him, foaming with blood.
The implication not being ‘rivers of blood’ at all but that there would be blood on the streets.
And we have.
That is what happened on 7/7 and in Woolwich.
What do people think he meant?
That there was blood in the water table flowing to the top to form rivers?
There was blood on the streets of Rome as its cohesiveness fell apart and the memory people had of it was how it mixed when it fell into the river.
The fall of Rome is, in many ways the prototype of multiculturalism and mass immigration. It is not the same thing and the Romans would not have used words such as multiculturalism, but that is the only precedent we have for all the multi-culti nonsense – and look how it ended.
The metaphor does not mean river of blood at all.
It means blood on the streets.
And what about all those unsolved black on white murders?
I’d call that blood on the streets too.

You couldn’t make it up!
There is a very interesting column by Melanie Phillips today about police corruption.
A lot of what is in there is not new. What is new and interesting is that she had been allowed to write about this subject so stridently in the Mail.
The Mail is very much an Establishment newspaper and even with people as outspoken as Melanie Phillips and Peter Hitchens, there are certain areas where you are only allowed to make soft criticism.
The police do get criticised a lot for political correctness in that paper but rarely is outright corruption written about in terms like those used by Ms Phillips today.
Something has changed.
The first thing is the new Lawrence scandal.
Melanie Phillips writes:
“Whenever scandals do surface, the solution is invariably to impose yet more layers of bureaucracy. This merely ties up good officers in knots while miscreants blithely sail on untouched.
“On occasion, political correctness provides an alibi for corruption. The Stephen Lawrence report, for example, contained the explosive suggestion that the police inquiry was botched because of a corrupt relationship between certain officers and local gangsters.
“But this crucial observation was totally swamped by the furore over the report’s allegation of institutional police racism, for which there was in fact no evidence whatever.”
Exactly.
How very convenient for Common Purpose-style police and politicians with an agenda to push to avoid alarming the public with talk of corruption and to instead, push a multi-culti agenda through the accusation of ‘institutional racism’.
What a power grab that Lawrence inquiry was.
And took us all away from the truth.
When I hear about the new Lawrence scandal, I do not connect the dots at all to some phoney concept of ‘institutional racism’, instead it looks like a corrupt attempt to sabotage the original police investigation.
We all know about the notorious photo of the father of one of the original accused sipping a pint in a bar with a law enforcement officer (I think it was Customs officer).
The other thing that has changed is what I detect in this from Melanie Phillips:
“It is worth noting once again that if the proposals of the Leveson Inquiry are enacted, such revelations will become all but impossible. For the exposure of police corruption depends on informal contacts between police sources and journalists.
“Yet now these contacts are in jeopardy, because the Leveson report warns officers not to approach journalists but to seek out other ‘confidential avenues in which they may have faith’.”
Since its inception, the Daily Mail has always been establishment to its core and I think Leveson and Met Police boss Bernard Hyphen-Howe’s instruction to his staff not to speak to journalists without permission has changed the Mail.
I may be wrong, but I would not be surprised at all if editor Paul Dacre has though to himself: ‘I have had enough of this newspaper soft-pedalling on criticism of the police to help keep public faith in them. The tacit quid pro quo of being fed certain stories off the record has gone, which a) doesn’t help my paper and b) more importantly, official-only media contact makes the police less accountable.’
Has Dacre decided enough is enough?
That if Hyphen-Howe wants to be so draconian in the monitoring of media contacts that we’ll talk about those areas of police malpractice that we’ve always been a bit subdued about before when we covered them?
If that is what has happened, it is all that Hyphen-Howe deserves.
As grubby as our Press are (and they will always be Establishment lackeys), censoring them does not make the police pure as the driven snow.
If anything, papers like the Mail have long kept the lid on police corruption for fear of making public distrust too great.
Look at some of the comments underneath Melanie Phillips’ article for that. Many support her but others, more naive, will not countenance what has been going on in our police all these years and a lot of it has been buried beneath multi-culti spin and the recuitment of certain quotas and so on – who are soft-pedalled on and over-promoted purely for PC reasons.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2357977/A-vicious-crime-boss-corrupt-police-cronies-scandal-buried-ever.html
This book is written by the journalist Ms Phillips mentions. It was very much snubbed at the time it was published but it is a litany of accusations that bear out allegations of police corruption I have heard over and over again.
Don’t expect Dixon of Dock Green.

I wonder if there will be video of Peter Hitchens’s debate with Medhi Hassan, a man who if he was not Muslim would have been cast forever from mainstream journalism for his own racism (calling non-Muslims ‘cattle’)?
http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2013/07/more-on-tuesdays-immigration-debate.html
I re-read this old piece Hitchens flagged up and it is the allegation of the use of undercover police officers to concoct politically correct spin that always leaps out at me:
“I came to Boston at the invitation of a man I shall call Ted. He wanted me to see at first hand a place that cannot really cope with what is happening to it. He tells a disturbing story about strange events soon before the migrants arrived, around the turn of the century. A small advertisement in one of the local papers asked people who were worried about immigration to contact a phone number. Ted did. He describes what happened.
“‘The advertisement read, roughly, “Are you concerned about large numbers of migrants arriving in Boston?” with a mobile phone number to contact. I felt very concerned with the number of immigrants being talked about at that time, 5,000 Portuguese! We little knew that was only the beginning of a much greater number from all over Eastern Europe, Iraq and Russia who would be arriving in their thousands.
“‘I phoned the mobile and was only given a Christian name, “John”, I think. He was quite vague and would not give more information, only to say he was a concerned resident and was looking to meet anyone who felt the same. He said he was going to organise meetings etc and would be in touch and asked for my contact details, which I gave.
“‘As I had not heard from him or seen anything in the paper, I rang the mobile again. He suggested we meet up in the Red Cow pub in the town at midday. He was about 5ft 10in to 6ft, short fair hair (not skinhead), looked fit, casually dressed but smart. He definitely did not have a Lincolnshire accent.
“‘He bought half a pint of bitter and we sat in a quiet corner. He asked me what I did, and would I be prepared to go on a demonstration march through Boston; what were my thoughts on the proposed mass immigration into Boston and how far would people be prepared to go to register their disapproval.
“‘I told him how I felt, that a small community like Boston should not be swamped with immigrants. It is not about race, it is about keeping things in proportion. Nothing materialised, no leaflets no demonstration, nothing. So I rang him again, and got a very short answer that “he would be in touch”. After that, the number was not in use.
“‘I am fully convinced the guy I met worked for the Government and was sent to Boston to see what the public reaction would be. Not long afterwards, there was a public meeting on the subject. Among the listed speakers was a representative of the BNP.’
“As Ted, a mainstream, conservative-minded businessman, says: ‘If you want to kill off any political opposition to any issue you invite the BNP.’”

It’s an allegation that comes straight out of the special branch/MI5 playbook.
What astonished last week was the use of undercover officers in the eco movement. This all takes huge amounts of police time and money and yet there was some undercover cop writing the original McLibel leaflet.
He was effectively working for McDonald’s propaganda cause.
If they’ve got taxpayer money for that, imagine what else they’re wasting it on.
The man was interviewed and said what he’d done was wrong but that he hoped some of his other work would redeem him in the eyes of the women he had slept with when he was undercover.
Oh? Redeemed? How?
Why, through his most recent work with the Muslim Contact Unit.
Of course! If you want to wash away your sins in British public office just do something PC and multi-culti and you’re a ‘hero’.
Muslim Contact Unit indeed.
How many of these other undercover goons are in the EDL and so on, monitoring people’s un-PC thoughts and stirring up trouble to smear public figures who don’t toe the FibLabCon line?
EC 12.45:

Frank Sutton, July 8th, 2013 – 15:04
It all stems from the Climate Change Act 2008. This is something in the that the “one-eyed Scottish idiot” and Ed Miliband lumbered us all with.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/27/contents
https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/reducing-the-uk-s-greenhouse-gas-emissions-by-80-by-2050/supporting-pages/carbon-budgets
The legislation sure looks like a tangled web dissembling and deceipt. Also were are paying legions civil servants to write all this crap! All that is needed is a simple Act of Parliament to repeal it. Fat chance! See under election promises of: “Grand Reform Act” and “Bonfire of the Quangos”
Can someone explain to this thicko exactly which piece of British ‘history’, however tiny, has been rewritten by Andy Murray? It must be true…the BBC says so.
Kyoto CO2 Targets: The Germans cheated!
http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/german_kyoto_protocol_hoax.htm
Frank Sutton at 15-04 : I’m sure the `legally binding` comes from EU obligations;but I do not have the exact item.I seem to think there is something in UKIP material.
I am one of those rare people who isn’t the least interested in tennis. But, I think Murray should have a knighthood. My reasoning is that so many get one for political reasons, or because they have bought one, or they are dodgy, like Lord Vaseline and the corrupt judiciary which is top heavy with knighthoods. Murray after all has made a lot of people happy, and that I believe is reason enough for honouring him.
Good for Ol’ Kitten Shoes! She shooed that evil swine out of our country, succeeding where six previous male Home Secretaries couldn’t budge him. She has a pretty formidable appearance, and I wonder if he couldn’t face her steely presence. Perhaps we have another Iron Lady in the making.
As the UK gets worse and worse, I am always wondering at what point do the people who would vote Liberal, Labour or Conservative even if it was a donkey with a red, yellow or blue rosette on it wake up?
This is a description by Peter Hitchens that sums up the prosperous shires where people seem to keep on voting Liberal or Tory:
“…such places (I live in one myself, but am and always have been very conscious of my reasons for doing so) help to keep alive an illusion. By setting a distance between ourselves and the big cities, we of the educated elite can continue to live peaceful, orderly, prosperous lives largely untainted by the surliness, squalor and petty disorder which are always round the corner in the Metropolis and the remains of our big industrial cities. Plus, there is usually a branch of Waitrose.
“And I think this is one reason why our governing elite is so unconcerned about our descent into the Third World. They are very happy with the more relaxed morals, the abandonment of any attempt to bring up children with rules, or compel them to undergo a serious education. They’re pleased by the disappearance of dour Protestant Sundays, by the longer licensing hours and (let’s whisper this) the collapse of any attempt to enforce the drug laws.
“And if this is having bad effects, they can, in a little paradise such as Lewes, keep them along way ff. they can, in short, enjoy all the benefits of a third World life, without paying the price.
“Of course this won’t last. There’s a serpent in every Eden, and, I’ve no doubt, a dark side even to smiling, prosperous Lewes. One mother at the event I addressed complained about how drug dealers hung around outside her son’s school every day, and authority did nothing about it (no surprise to me).
“In his matchless autobiography ‘I, Claud’, Claud Cockburn repeatedly quotes a diplomat whose response to imminent decline or disaster was to say happily ‘In between the crisis and the catastrophe, we may as well have a glass of champagne’, which in a way sums up the attitude of the British liberal middle class, drinking chilled New World Sauvignon Blanc as England crumbles all around them.”
http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2012/07/in-enemy-territory-or-between-the-crisis-and-the-catastrophe.html
I was reminded of that excellent description recently when I read about recent events Stoke Poges.
Stoke Poges is a beautiful shires town where the people are lovely but dim. I have to say that because they voted for Dominic Grieve.
In their blue-rinse blind faith the voters of Stoke Poges have been rewarded with a Sikh school forced on them – whether they like it or not.
That’s where their ‘True Blue’ loyalty has got them.
You might have thought the Mail or the Telegraph would be helping out these voters with an expose.
They will not. Why? The imposition of this multi-culti edict comes from Michael Gove, a man those papers don’t want to damage, because he might be their weapon to get rid of Cameron.
Gove and Johnson are very much the shadowy Tory back-rooms of power’s Plan B and get an accordingly easy ride in the Tory press.
If you know anyone in or near Stoke Poges, do send them these links so they know just how Michael Gove and Dominic Grieve have treated them.
http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/local-democracy-a-la-gove-the-fanaticism-of-the-education-secretary/
http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/2013/07/07/stoke-poges-its-role-in-the-global-morality-meltdown/
I don’t know what it will take to make voters wake up, but it must happen one day.
Night Nurse: Yes, the Stoke Poges Sikh School affair has rather taken the shine off Gove as the great Tory hope, in my eyes anyway… as has his recent denouncement of the newish playground usage of the word gay.
Night Nurse: The Hitchens link and his thoughts on Lewes strike a chord with me. I know the town quite well as I quite often visit relations who live there. There seems to be a subtle social division between old Lewes and the ‘DFL’s’, (as the Down From Londons are known). Polly Toynbee has one of her many homes there, and I guess Poor Mad Poll is a ‘DFL’.
Lewes – crawling with Guardianistas though it is – does seem remarkably isolated from the real world that snaps at its borders, and whenever I visit I feel I am entering a parallel world whose inhabitants have a rose tinted vision of life.
Needless to say, property prices don’t favour everyday folk.
For those who missed it on Sunday night-Monday morning;there is an item some regard as amusing.SEE http://pic.twitter.com/em5pChtexN
Indeed, Frank.
The divide in Britain now is so stark.
I was speaking to someone recently who is, shall we say, a bit sheltered.
She was looking for a home for one of her children. They had seen some flats in Luton, which is within commuting distance of London, for about £40,000.
Do you know what Luton is like, I enquired? No, came the answer.
This, I suggested might explain the price anomaly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psZBaJU_Cvo
The flats were, in my opinion, invaluable in the sense that one could not put a value on them, because they are almost worthless.
The flats may have had lease problems – which would significantly lower their price – but more than that, in an area such as Luton, you are not safe unless you are Muslim.
Who knows what the flats were really worth? Nothing, I’d suggest, unless you were a Muslim.
Another ‘bargain’ appeared in Peterborough, way below normal market values.
I said to her, before you make a visit, type in ‘Peterborough mosque’ into Google Maps and use the little man tool to look around that street.
Oh, ho, ho. The mosque she found was not even a block away, it was on a place called Gladstone Street and the ‘bargain’ property was also in Gladstone Street.
If you fancy a go yourselves, type this into Google Maps:
Peterborough PE1 2BY
And you will come across Gladstone Street in Peterborough. And from the other end of the street, guess what is visible? That’s right.
Try dragging the little man on the street so you get from the Map view to the street view and you may need to swivel upwards to see the height of those mosque pillars, they’re so high.
Imagine that street on a Friday. Imagine the sight of that building at any time of day.
Its sheer visual presence, using the columns, intimidates. It is designed to say: ‘we’re here’ from a distance to all around.
So much for that ‘bargain’. She cancelled her visit.
It’s something that must now go on the list of all things to consider when buying a house: ‘risk of rising damp, flood vulnerability, proximity to mosques’.
That entire Luton documentary is all on YouTube, by the way.
What I dislike about it is the way the BBC woman has to wait until it’s personal – about her dress sense – before she gets angry.
Isn’t it just disgusting anyway?
I don’t someone to make it ‘personal’ to me before I want to puke.
It’s wrong, wrong, wrong. On every level.
What are these people doing in the UK?
Holding up banners like that, every single one of them needs summarily deporting to an Islamic country.
I cannot get excited about the ‘deportation’ of Abu Qatada, when really his work is done: look at the legacy he has left behind.
Until hordes of these people on on a plane out of the UK, the ‘deportation’ – he went voluntarlity – of Abu Qatada is meaningless.
Here is footage of Tommy Robinson being assaulted in Luton by one of the followers of the religion of peace. If anyone did this to a Muslim, they’d be inside for six months.
Mulsims are now, quite literally, a law unto themselves:

I’m still annoyed by the lies of agents of the C of E. They claimed Arch-Bishop Welby made a speech on a Friday evening to a group of lawyers [as if that made a difference] in which he mentioned Sharia Law in Britain;and it was taken out of context.This was not true.Welby had gone into the highest pulpit in the land (The World at One;on Radio 4) some 18 hours before and said Sharia might be imposed in some parts of England.This resulted in the BBC switch board being inundated with complaints.
Justin Welby is carrying on C of E policy from exactly where Rowan Williams left off: that sharia law is inevitable in some parts of the UK.
People often talk about his background in the oil industry but then never draw the logical conculsion: oil.
What goes with oil?
Arabs!
That’s right.
And what do people who want to make a packet do when they deal with arabs?
Compromise.
That’s right.
What a schooling he’s had. The oil industry and the C of E – talk about a finishing school for traitors.
I have a very difficult problem with Christianity in that I do understand the need for it, that it has been the foundation of society, but insititutionally it is now totally destroying this country.
It’s no good dealing with the attacks from Islam unless we deal before with the traitors in Parliament and the Church.
It is the politicians and Christian leaders we need to turn our backs on first and foremost – just as they have turned our backs on us.
SORRY:it was Welsh Williams who had created a scandal over Sharia not Welby;although Welby is about as much a liberal churchman.
I hope we are talking about Egypt here:

A SPARK OF BRIGHTNESS. I have received the 2013 EPOCH catalogue.This is by DUTTON, a producer of exellent C. D.s of C20th British classical/romantic music that is little heard;some by those composers proscribed in the ’60s by Radio 3 in it’s Modernist period,such as:Rebecca Clarke,Arthur Butterworth and Gordon Jacob.Along with the marvelously named Rutland Boughton (with his `The Queen of Cornwall`),York Bowen,Havergal Brian and Sir Granville Bantock.Such names!……It started with Micheal Dutton making quality re-recordings of historic performances and developed from there.There is also a Vocalion label of light music and dance bands from mid-centuary…..I’m sure there is room,a market,for a radio station playing such material;that it’s what Radio 2 (re-named The Light Programme) should be about…..On line;SEE http://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY : When David Icke starts to make sense,you know you’re in big trouble.
Radford NG:
Don’t know how old you are but I clearly remember the music genre – “MOR” – middle of the road. It was a popular target for the rock crowd and, as far as I recall, successfully sneered off TV and radio years ago.
It’s not my thing, but I often feel sorry for people who like music which, at one time, would have been “MOR” and, come to think of it, other often discarded genres such as folk. I don’t listen to R2, but as far as I can tell, it’s just last year’s R1. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
I fail to understand why we need the BBC to cover music which is catered for perfectly well by commercial companies.
Many thanks indeed to those who made a donation towards running costs. It is much appreciated and needed indeed.
There is still no mention in the media of the soldier being attacked and beaten unconscious in Barnsley. I noticed someone had posted a question about this on one of the Spectator threads but that also seems to have been removed. I have emailed someone in the media to ask why there is no mention of this assault. If others know people in the media they might wish to do the same.

I have said there is a D notice operating at the moment.
The problem now, is you don’t know what you don’t know.
I am sure you know what a D notice is and when they are used.
By restricting sensitive news under a voluntary agreement the government are attempting to keep a lid on this Muslim problem.
Google D notice for more information. It’s not secret.
The clever thing about this is that 99 out of a100 people don’t realise this goes on so they have no idea they are being starved of real news.
Hi John
Yes, I can guess there is a D notice in effect. Which implies that the circumstances are what we might imagine here on this forum. But I am trying to see if anyone will say anything.
I’ve emailed the Barnsley Chronicle and others to ask if they will say what is going on. There were witnesses to the attack.

UPDATED: Three under arrest after Moreton soldier is killed in street attack
Colin, my skin just went numb reading that.
The UK truly is in some dreadful Orwellian nightmare squared.
The journalists do not tell the truth.
It is all propaganda.
That which we are allowed to know about is a sop, a concession.
This is trivial by comparison, but in case anyone missed it (it vanished from the BBC website very quickly):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-23047099
The headline reads: “Fire at St Andrew’s Church, Twyford, possible ‘hate crime'”
So how did the BBC know it was a suspected hate crime? They must have known something about the prime suspect.
All I have been able to ascertain elsewhere on the web is that the prime suspect is a 23-year-old man, from Allestree, who was arrested in connection with the blaze and has been released on bail.
So what was this 23 year old’s name and ethnicity?
Because that information, I suggest, would rather give the clue as to where the BBC got the idea it was a suspected hate crime.
The official line on the fresh murder will be that it was a random attack, not racially motivated.
Because the authorities say so.
Night Nurse – 13:32 ‘Twyford, Derbyshire’
“Our main Bible in the church, which was a beautiful leather-bound huge copy, was taken and put on the fire along with the vicar’s vestments, the frontal and linen from the altar.”
More of a religious hate crime, I would have thought.
It is indeed, very mysterious.

Ah! In the garden, sitting by the apple tree, glass of Pimm’s in hand, ‘Ombra mai fu’ in the background.
There is a very odd series of shows on Channel 4 at the moment about dating.
I saw one shoe where people met each other on ‘blind dates’ arranged by the show’s makers. This is Channel 4, so there is an agenda. You can guess what it was: mixed-race dates. Lots of them.
That’s all well and good, but would Channel 4 like to make a show about the children of mixed-race relationships, because an awful ot of them seem to end up in psychiatric institutions later in life, ‘not knowing who they are’.
And what about when such relationships break down?
The mainstream media mantra about how ‘love crosses cultural divides’ suddenly vanishes.
Instead, poor naifs who believe such piffle find that in fact such cultural divides had never gone away and make a great ruse for one of the parents to take the children away to a foreign land.
Britain’s multi-culti parents have led to an unprecedented number of international custody battles:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2124289/Hundreds-children-involved-bitter-custody-battles-abducted-taken-abroad.html
And what about when a partner turns violent?
You see, when people come from the same culture, they might be afraid of their in-laws, but when they don’t come from the same culture and know they can fall back on playing the race card if they beat up their partner and get any hassle from their in-laws, then what?
My post is prompted by this story today:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2358816/Mother-gets-monster-boyfriend-jailed-proving-hed-faked-amazing-citizen-reference-avoid-prison-attacking-her.html
But it is borne out by countless others too:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2348104/Devendra-Singh-bludgeoned-wife-Charlotte-Smith-death-ornamental-elephant-jailed-16-years.html
If any relative retaliated and stepped in, the thought police would call it a hate crime and not give two hoots about why the person was intervening.
There’s only one ‘crime’ that really matters in the UK.
This has to be the most infamous of them all. The new face of M&S, Katie Piper.
The focus in the media is always in the acid on her face, never on the man that threw it in her face. What are the media afraid of telling us?

We’re constantly told how the UK leads the way in mixed-race relationships. Indeed it does. That’s the way the Fabians wanted it.
And at what cost?
Night Nurse, yes, i also saw this programme and it seemed very odd. You would expect that a white male would perhaps have a range of dates, but that he had two black women and one eastern european all seemed to establish the fact that it was staged to meet certain criteria and a definite agenda.

I cannot understand how the D notice situation doesn’t generate more interest on this site.
You are being denied the news and information which enables you to form correct opinions.
You are fed nonsense when the truth is so dangerous that the government doesn’t want you to know it .and the newspapers go along with it. With a bit of arm twisting behind the scenes I am sure.
The newspapers with a bit of balls shift a page one story onto page 28 and cut out lots of detail so they can claim they covered the story at some later date.
This manipulation of information by agreement is totally at odds with what most people who in their daily life believe they live in a country who believes in free speech .once a D notice is in position you have no idea what’s going on, local papers will cover the story to prove the freedom of the press but it will not rise into the nationals.
This is a bug bear of mine because its so clever , you control the information with most people having no idea censorship is happening.
And not only don’t they know, they would argue that it couldn’t and wouldn’t happen in this country.
I commend the excellent post on Enoch Powell.
He is so re-readable. Not just because he is relevant today but because he sets out the fundamentals of where his arguments start from.
No-one in politics does that today. It’s all a load of platitudes about ‘hard-working families’, ‘communities’ and so on and a load of rubbish about the future, only it’s a future they won’t tell the truth about: a multi-culti hell hole future.
Powell famously said that “Europe can never be a democracy because there is no European demos”.
It’s as true today as when he said it.
The promotion of mixed-race babies is designed to alter that. The babies are used as emotional blackmail tools by the state: everyone will drop their objections to multi-culti if there’s a mixed race baby somewhere in the family.
But just as having a baby to repair a weak marriage never works, neither has the Fabians’ social engineering to create mixed race children.
When the fall-outs happen, they are magnified by the cultural differences between couples.
I’d take Powell’s phrase above and coin a second: “Multi-culturalism can never work because there is no multi-cultural demos.”
Just as the European Union can never really work because it is a false union, so multi-culturalism, a false union of people, can never work.
Even the immigrants themselves do not like it:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2348866/Mixed-race-year-old-boys-collar-bone-broken-racist-attack-train-black-passenger-started-hurling-abuse-mother.html
Had that man been white, he would have endured the level of media spite unleashed on Emma West, but I never saw that story on TV news.
This is how people react to these things.
Whatever their race, they do not like them.
That word, demos, is not to be taken lightly.
It is a binding agent for society and one that cannot be manufactured.
Once the love in a relationship is over, the hard work, the beliefs, the values kick in. And if they are not shared – then what?
And who suffers? The children.
I know at least two families ripped apart by multi-culti ‘fairytales’.
The argument put about by people like Diane Abbott is that it is all the fault of white people outside of cities not ‘used to it’.
Well, that man on the tube lives in a city and he’s ‘used to it’.
You do not get used to not having a demos.
You can outlaw freedom of speech, create thought crimes, impose social engineering and it will never work.
Here’s some more benefits of unchecked immigration:

Sadly, John, it’s the way it is in the UK.
Same goes for the secrecy in the family courts.
It’s all put on the basis of ‘national interest’ or the ‘children’s interest’ and it’s all rubbish.
Charles Moore wrote a terrible piece the other day trying to smear Edward Snowden.
I was so glad to see the majority of readers tell him where to get off.
The UK badly needs its own whistleblowers to lift the roof off much of what goes on but it will have to be done in other jurisdictions, giving information to foreign news agencies, away from our oh-so-clever establishment, who have made many foolish people think the British live in an open and free society.
John, I’m trying to do what I can. I have emailed some journalists and have just written to the three Barnsley MPs. I’m now trying to contact the relevant military.
A court case about 25 years ago really fascinated me, not widely reported I must say.
A guy was prosecuted under the official secrets act for information he had collected.
The prosecution admitted that every bit of information he had was in the public domain but by collecting all the information together he then had information that contravened the official secrets act.
And he was found guilty.
They don’t like people who take an interest.
Just watch your porn , football , soaps , and go to the pub and your no problem.
John, I hope tomorrow to be able to contact the local newspaper which did report the incident and see if anyone will say anything.
Peter f. M. : take a look at my previous link to Barnsley Chronicle.They have a brief note that the attackers were white and have taken down the comments. Comments are still being made at another site.SEE http://www.wearebarnsley.com/mobile/news/article/3053
Barnsley Chronicle has updated its news story:
http://www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/mobile/news/article/6709
This has appeared at the bottom of that link:
• A man was detained by police on suspicion of assault and later released. The mother of the soldier has asked it be made clear the attackers were white British men
I don’t believe that Radford. If that were the case then there would be no reason at all for the assault not to be reported.
Why would the soldiers mother be making it clear that her son was attacked by white assailants? Why is she not on the TV saying this? That would be normal. Why do we not know how the soldier is doing? Why do we know nothing and why is nothing being reported.
Since nothing is being reported I do not believe that we can believe anything the Barnsley Chronicle is now saying.
I’ve just emailed Look North to ask why they have chosen not to report this concerning incident at all.
I’ve also emailed the news desk to ask why they are not covering this story at all.
I sent this to Gail Robinson, the journalist who reported the story…
Dear Gail
You must be aware that a great many people around the country have been concerned to read that a soldier has been brutally assaulted in Barnsley on Saturday.
It seems extremely odd that this story has received no coverage at all in any of the national media or news websites, and it is clear that there is a blanket ban on reporting it. I see that you have added a foot-note to your story, but it seems very difficult to be convinced by it I am afraid. Since the story has been blanked in every other media outlet, and the Chronicle itself is no longer reporting developments it would be easy to dismiss anything you add to the report as being a deliberate construction of news rather than an open and honest reporting of what took place.
Your story does not describe the mother as having been a witness, and as far as I can see she has not been interviewed on any TV or radio news broadcast. Therefore none of us have heard her second-hand, as it would appear, testimony about the nature of the assailants.
Are you able to explain why the Chronicle is essentially locking this story down, and why it has not received any wider coverage? Can you explain why you have not reported further on the condition of the soldier, or added the testimony of the witnesses to the assault, as would be normally expected.
With the best will in the world it seems that the Chronicle is covering something up in regard to this story, as it seems fairly reasonable to conclude that if the soldier had simply been assaulted by a gang of white British youths the story would have been reported in much detail in all the national media as a counterweight to the influence of the Woolwich murder of Drummer Lee Rigby.
I would be grateful for a response to these questions.
It might be worth keeping an eye on this:
British Army Rumour Service
although non PC stuff tends to be removed, just like anywhere else.
I can’t find any mention of Barnsley on the site, Colin. And on Twitter the Barnsley Chronicle are trying to tell me it was just a random assault, not newsworthy, and being stoked up by the EDL. The local MP is an ex-Para, I would have hoped he would be interested?

Excellent, but don’t expect to get a response.
Peter from Maidstone, July 8th, 2013 – 09:56
I asked, a while back, if you’d explored internet crowd sourcing/funding as a means of getting any of your more costly project proposals off the ground. David Icke reckons that he raised over £100,000 in just 6 days(*) by this method, for his new TV station.
David explains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOce1TSQcxc
(*) He didn’t say what he did on the 7th 🙂
Hi EC. The trouble is that Icke is already very well known. Whereas the CHW is reasonably successful I think, but only begins to take off in terms of visitor numbers when there is a commitment made to regular advertising and blogging, but that takes time and effort and so it is a bit of a Catch 22. I am not sure that there is enough coverage to expect lots of crowd funding.
I’m very happy indeed to have advice and suggestions. But what would be needed is more than peanuts, and yet much, much less than the sort of silly numbers dotcoms used to play with.
I’ve been tweeting on the Barnsley Chronicle page …

I find the Welsh and Scots to be regular guys but we find standard Brits to exude superiority unwarranted in 2013.
You lost your empire years ago but now hang on to outposts like the Malvinas and Cayman islands.
Mind we are good about the Caymans.
Is John Jefferson Burns trying to be satirical, or what?
Don’t get it.
John Jefferson Burns 10th, – 09:41
“Las Malvinas”: A corruption of “Les Malouines”, the name given to the islands when their only population was fishermen from St. Malô. Explain to me, where in Argentina (or Spain, its colonial master) is St. Malô?
Even the name given to the islands by the Argentines indicates that they do not belong to Argentina!
Colin
It is always interesting looking in on a proud nation.
My dear cousin lives in the West of England and gave me a rundown on tha French – she calls them “frogs” from Henry the fifth on. She also took me on a tour of London and walked me from Waterloo to Trafalgar Square.
We on the other hand love the French who know fashion and food like no-one in the world.
I can tell you in addition that many of my neighbours in Philadelphia were sad that we joined you and not the proud German Nation in WW2.
Things are not always as they might seem.
Ostrich
See my reply to Colin.
When I went to Brittany I went via the ferry to St Malo.
So you see I love the French fashion and food.
The Brits and French tried to carve up the world.
The French had the good sense to get out when you hung on to the Malvinas and other outposts.
John Jefferson Burns:
In that case you should know by now that the Welsh and Scots are British, and the Empire was British, not English. I believe this was pointed out to you by someone else quite recently.
I don’t know what a “standard Brit” is. Are you a “standard American”?
Lastly, there are between 300,000 and 400,000 French people living in London, so we do meet them occasionally.
John Jefferson Burns 10th, – 10:03
“The French had the good sense to get out when you hung on to the Malvinas and other outposts.”
Ever checked out the number of French ‘outposts’ across the world that exist to this day? Why do they hang on to Kerguelen Island? Or the Tuamotu group? Oh, wait…
In the papers and on the tele this morning is the storey of the woman who, wanting to become a glamour model i.e. a naked strumpet, had a breast enlargement. Now I have nothing against strumpets, naked or otherwise, indeed, some of my best friends are strumpets, especially the ones who live around Shepherds Market, my beef is this, the woman had her boobs done one the NHS. This is not what the NHS is for, we all know it is for sponging foreigners. But, to add insult to injury, the dame now wants them reduced, again on the NHS. Naturally. She feels fully entitled to this operation, and I feel sure the powers that be will cave into her demands, probably at the instigation of some ambulance chasing Human Rights lawyer. Is it any wonder this country is going tits up?
stephen maybery:
Perhaps some sort of inflatable device would be the answer? She could adjust the volume with a topping up tube (like an aircraft life jacket, but without the whistle and light) according to her mood.
On the other hand, the whistle and light could be an optional extra.
Off to the patent office.

Do we have any solid information on whom the Qatari aristocracy have been buying off in the United Kingdom and with what effect? Time for someone to blow some whistles, I would have thought.
CHURCHILL : Peter misses out the opening of Churchill’s speech. Off-hand it is:What General Wagand called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin.If we lose this fight the entire world,including The New World,will enter into a new dark-age,made longer by a perverted science.
Radford, there is so much that should be heard and learned, in Churchill and Powell. I didn’t want to write something long when I mentioned Churchill, but I couldn’t help myself with Powell. I am reading the excellent and interesting biography by Simon Heffer with great enjoyment.

J.J.Burns might read `Fatherland`by Robert Harris.A crucial part of the plot is the visit to Berlin in 1965 of President Joseph P. Kennedy to celebrate Hitler’s 70th.birthday,and the discovery of a document revealing what happened on the Eastern Front after 1942.
BEING BRITISH:Peter puts up a photo of a mischievous Churchill giving a `V`sign. Recently the likes of Jack Straw have raised the question of what it means to be British. The epitome of Britishness is to be found in the person of Father Jack Hacket,the drunken Irish priest in the parish house on an Atlantic island off the far west coast of Connemara.When the world impinges on him he raises two fingers and shouts “Fek off”;(an acceptable term in the Irish).This is the essence of Englishness,rather then Straw’s nonsense.[See:Father Ted;More 4, Sunday.]
Peter.
Thank you for the clip of Churchill’s funeral, memories came flooding back. The death was announced in church that morning. I remember so vividly the sadness, but also the majesty of the proceedings and the reaction of the people. On the day of the funeral all the shops were closed. In retrospect it was like the closing of an era, O tempora, O mores.
All week I have been fed up to the back teeth with the spin about the ‘deportation’ of Abu Qatada.
He went of his own accord.
Just as one swallow does not a summer make, so does the exit of one goon stop the rot the UK is in.
What is all this nonsense about triumph for Teresa May?
What is all this nonsense about triumph for the Tory party?
It just seems like lackeys in the media trying to subtley woo back former Conservative voters.
It is all pantomime stuff to make it look like the Tories are listening.
Peter Hitchens has blogged on it:
‘The reason for this partisan, thoughtless stuff, in which bogeymen are slain and straw men hacked to pieces, is that the Tories’ right flank is crumbling , and that Mr Cameron and his press friends hope to shore it up by appealing to tribal instincts and blowing hard on every dog whistle that comes to hand.’
http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2013/07/westminster-bubble-versus-british-reality.html
Read all of it to see a set of poll results that – surprise, surprise – got barely a mention in the mainstream media.
I know Peter Hitchens calls UKIP the Dad’s Army of British politics, but there is something about them and Tommy Robinson – I know they are not affiliated – that is working its way towards something.
It’s this. History is about those who turn up.
UKIP do make mistakes. So what?
Tommy Robinson is arrested over and over and over again. So what?
The public are so sick of seeing people like this smeared over and over by the press and the police that – flawed though they may be – the public do not care.
History is – slowly – being made by those prepared to be smeared by the police, by the mainstream media and by the establishment.
There was the most stupid piece the other day by Chris (two sickbags, please) Grayling in the Smellygraph.
His entire article was that Mr Farage may not be as pure as driven snow.
This. From a man in the Tory party.
Nigel Farage is indeed not as pure as the driven snow.
Ghastly Grayling may as well have told the world that the pope is Catholic and that bears pooh in the woods.
The situation in the UK is going to get much, much, much worse and there are unlikely to be any pure as pure new leaders but – at this stage – it’s about turning up.
They only have to turn up and the voters only have to turn up at the ballot box.
We won’t get the new Jerusalem (or a new Churchill or a new Powell), but if we only see the end of FibLabCon it will be a start.
“let’s be absolutely clear, privatisation of Royal Mail is not going to secure the future long-term success of the company,”
When one hears such a statement from a Union leader, one automatically adds the inaudible subtext, “because we will make sure it doesn’t.”
Night Nurse:
Excellent analysis, I think.
I doubt if Nigel Farage would claim to be pure as the driven snow. It’s one of his attractions.

Michael Savage just moved up from #2 to #1 in the ranking of most listened to US radio talk show hosts.
In May 2009, Mr, Savage was banned from entering England by someone called Jacqui [sic] Smith and in July 2011 the new Conservative-Party-led government of Prime Minister David Cameron informed him that it would continue the ban initiated by the previous administration unless he repudiated statements made on his broadcasts that were deemed a threat to public security. The U.K. has never specified which statements it thought were so dangerous.
It sometimes seems to me that we have government of the prats, by the prats and for the prats.
JJB – “I find the Welsh and Scots to be regular guys but we find standard Brits to exude superiority unwarranted in 2013.”
Standard Brit – wtf?
But then, compared to the standard Yank (can equally be spelled starting with a W), our ‘superiority’ remains warranted. Been to Walmart recently?
Your nation has proved its intelligence by twice voting for an incompetent alien, not qualified under your constitution and made him President in the greatest display of racism the world has ever seen. (You gotta vote for me coz I is black)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

“Your nation has proved its intelligence by twice voting for an incompetent alien, not qualified under your constitution, and made him President.”
To the citizens of the United States of America,
In the light of your failure to elect a legally eligible President of the USA and
thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
will resume monarchical duties over all States, Commonwealths and
other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.
Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. David Cameron, MP for the 97.85%
of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your
borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further
elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Then look up “aluminium”. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you
should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up “vocabulary”.
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such
as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. Look up “interspersed”.
2. There is no such thing as “US English”. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn’t that hard.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”, but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind
of football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good
game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
borders may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You
will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2020.
7. You should declare war on Quebec and France. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves
lucky.
The Russians have never been the bad guys. “Merde” is French for “sh*t”.
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called “Incomprehensible Day”.
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.
Thank you for your
cooperation.

Since we’re not permitted the death penalty, could we not take the two ‘accused’ to attend the funeral, clamp them in seats similar to ‘old sparky’, with their eyelids stapled open, and have a burly sergeant-major behind each, to ensure their heads turn to face the hearse and then bow as it passes?
“Respec’, you B*st*rds!”
I don’t recall seeing much information in the daily papers that this arrival in bury was happening today. !!!
18.50 and its the main story in the mail on line.
Not accepting any comments though.
Not mentioned in telegraph at 18.57
The Obama
mober.. people have now finished trawling thru Hotmail.The system was down for at least 6 hours. God Bless ‘merica.
Looking forward to seeing the multitude of Muslims attending the funeral to apologise for the ‘small minority’ who support what happened.
Today’s offering from Alexander Boot, with his list of current behaviours and attitudes, tied directly into a film I’ve just seen, depicting how and why this has happened. The film claims the decline and change in society was no accident, but a deliberate long term Marxist based plan from the 60’s to infiltrate western society at all levels and gradually achieve a socialist State, thus destroying America without the need for revolution.
The film is called “Grinding America Down” – full length, 90 minutes, but well worth settling down to watch – (once past the first brash, 5 minute trailer style intro ) as it has direct relevance to what has also happened here in the UK.
The film lists some of their socialist objectives to effect change and achieve their goals.:- ie.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage easy divorce. Get control of schools & use as transmission for socialism. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teacher unions. .Break down cultural standards of morality. Present homosexuality and promiscuity as normal & natural. Infiltrate the press, gain control via key positions in all media outlets. Infiltrate the churches, discredit the Bible.

Peter Hitchens is debating someone on this Daily Mail thread (linked to above as well on Coffee House Wall):
http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2013/07/westminster-bubble-versus-british-reality.html
The BBC News website deviously refers to Labour as ‘centre Left’, a phrase that I suggest helped to hide Blair’s radicalism behind a false narrative of centre ground-ism.
And it’s a trick that’s worked well.
Look at this. Hitchens is asked by this poster (I quote):
[The poster quotes Hitchens first] “being too thick to realise that New Labour is in fact a subtle and camouflaged fulfilment of their dreams”
How are New Labour the fulfilment of anything apart from the desire to completely remove the left from British politics?
Name one actually left wing thing they did. One nationalised industry, one exploitative capitalist executed. ‘New Labour?’ HA! Old Tories more like.
Posted by: R Godfrey | 10 July 2013 at 03:50 PM
And Hitchens replies:
Mr Godfrey asks for one left-wing thing that New Labour did. Well, for someone who thinks that ‘left-wing’ means ‘left-wing by the standards of an Edwardian Bolshevik (not a useful measure) I am in difficulty.
No capitalists were hanged, no barricades erected, no barracks seized.
But by the standards of an intelligent modern Marxist , how about abolishing the hereditary peers in the Lords, breaking up the UK, surrendering to the IRA, signing the Lisbon Treaty, opening the national borders to unlimited immigration, making new selective state schools illegal, destroying religious adoption agencies, introducing civil partnerships, passing the Equality Act, vastly increasing the size of the public sector and destroying civil service neutrality.
These should do for starters.
Then there’s weakening the right to jury trial, reducing the independence of the magistracy, abolsihing the protection against double jeopardy, increasing state powers of detention without trial, introducing DNA testing, fingerprinting etc on arrest rather than on conviction, and engaging in aggressive utopian adventures abroad.
He should read my books ‘The Abolition of Britain’ and ‘The Cameron Delusion’ if he wants to understand what ‘left-wing’ means in the age of the Gramscians.
Why do I have to keep making this point over and over again?
After the failure of the USSR, the left didn’t give up.
It changed its tactics.

It’s an argument worth remembering because so many are so slippery in denying what has happened to the UK and the agenda behind it.
Centre Left!
Mustn’t frighten the horses, eh?
I’ll bet Mandelson loves reading that all the time.
Denis MacShane.
I hate that man so so so much.
I don’t even care about his wretched expenses.
Cameron took thousands in expenses. Why isn’t he in the dock too?
No. What I hate about Denis MacShane (not his real name) is the way he acted as Labour’s attack dog on immigration.
People’s lives are ruined just by allegations of racism and this man loved nothing better than trawling the news studios setting the persecuting tone for people who objected to it.
Oh how he dished it out. Newsnight loved him. A front bencher couldn’t act as aggresively as MacShane because it would put off the voters, but as a backbencher, boy, did he love to interrupt people and smear them on live TV.
I understand it was the BNP that uncovered the evidence that led to MacShane’s exit from Parliament.
And guess who MacShane went out of his way to smear:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDx5qbPufEs
I’m not sure where a trial will leave him. I don’t think he can lose his pension.
If he pays priavtely for his own defence, even if he is acquitted under the new rules he’ll have to pay for all of that.
That would be something at least.
If he is convicted, hopefully there might be a confiscation order.
I’m not going to prejudice his trial by speculating on his guilt of this particular offence. Perhaps he is innocent.
All I know, though, is that if he is convicted, it will be a form of poetic justice having been part of a government that set out to use the law – via hate crimes – to smear anyone who objected to mass immigration.
I’m so thrilled he is going to have to go through this.
I hope he goes the same way as Chris Huhne (another one who liked to bully on telly) and Vicky Pryce.
When I say ‘who objected to it’, I mean mass immigration (before some troll tries to smear me too).
A PS to my post on the film “Grinding America Down”. I found the film interesting, informative and food for thought, apart from the last section, which was overly religious for my taste, but typically American. How comforting to have such belief that Christianity was the answer and would somehow, through faith, overcome all evil. I envy them that faith and certainty – the more so the older I get – but I doubt that will be enough to turn the tide. I reckon it’s already a fait accompli both in the US and over here. It’s only the oldies who have known freedom of thought and action who recognise the turn of the wheel and despair for our children who seem blissfully unaware of what awaits them. Or am I just a pessimist? I hope so.
Scientists as CERN have discovered a new element called Governmentium (Gv).
It has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lefton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons or protons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact with. Even a tiny amount of Governmentium causes a reaction which normally takes only a few days to complete to take four years or more to finish or resolve.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical point of concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium decays to Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
Vast sums of money are consumed in the exchange yet no other by-products are produced.
Clear Memories:
Does Governmentium have anything to do with the creation of black holes?

Having a busy morning. My wife’s mother has just had a stroke. Thankfully they have just arrived back in the UK from a caravanning holiday in France, and are staying just outside our town, so my wife was on hand to be helpful. But it will be a stressful weekend and I have cancelled most of the things I was planning to be doing.
Best wishes Peter .

To whom it may concern,
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please find attached a short written statement from the members of the Italian Partito Comunista, British branch “Pietro Secchia”, about the plan for the privatisation of the Royal Mail announced this week by the Tory-LibDem Government. Thanks for your attention, and past publications.
Yours faithfully, Mr. Alain Fissore.

Clear Memories – 08:39 ‘Government’
Her is another definition, from zipit, in a post at the Guardian, of all places:
Government is like a condom in that it allows for inflation, halts production, destroys subsequent generations, protects a bunch of pricks, and provides its constituents with a sense of security while they are actually being screwed.
Peter at 12-01 : Italian communists are in solidarity with UKIP over privatization of Royal Mail. I hope to say more of this later. SEE http://www.ukip.org/newsroom/news/708
This is getting very odd. Here is a report about the soldier kicked unconscious in Barnsley…
A Barnsley soldier was knocked unconscious, stamped on and kicked in the face and head just hours after getting home. The 28-year-old soldier, whose mum does not want him to be identified, was attacked outside his home in Barnsley town centre. The corporal, who has served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and one in Iraq, had returned home that day from the Falkland Islands. He was left with concussion, a broken nose, cuts and bruises. A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “At 12.05am on June 30, police received reports of a disturbance. Officers believe a man was assaulted. One man was detained on suspicion of assault. The arrested person has been released without charge as South Yorkshire Police have not received a complaint.”
“I am not happy that David Cameron turned-up in Bury for the funeral of Lee Rigby.”
I’m no fan of Cameron, putting it mildly, but is it a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t?

PfM – 16:53 ‘Another deadly Lib Dem idea’
Combined with secret family courts, it creates the perfect storm.
The first three posts of the article do using irony, I hope, highlight the culture that still pervades the public sector:
Tom Anderson: “Lets just give all children to the state to bring up, they obviously think they can do a better job.”
davyclam: “[Yes!], At everything.
Anybody not employed by the state is clearly a criminal.”
Akula971: “Everyone who disagrees with the state is clearly insane, and should be locked away in an institution to try new medicines. That is how it actually was in Soviet Russia. In the UK? soon at this rate.”
Frank P at 16-52 :As it happens;I heard on a science programme that the term Black Hole was invented by an Indian scientist who based it on the Black Hole of Calcutta.
Over on American Digest, a comment by Donald Sensing, within the “Written on the Wind” thread, is worthy of reproduction here, as it addresses the discussion about whether a ‘third’ party can alter politics sufficiently to reverse the Leftist Long March. It translates directly to our own situation in so many ways, despite the difference in the political set-up – and Sensing’s words are prophetic and right, imho:
>”I have been writing what has turned into a very, very long post that I just cannot screw up the courage to publish yet. Here is a short excerpt. Read it and weep. I have not embedded links because that would take about forever.
Is it any wonder, then, that I say that the great experiment of America, “the only country founded on an idea” (Edmund Burke), is coming to an end?
Many indicators suggest that exhaustion and decrepitude are nigh. The great experiment in republican governance, individual liberty, free market economics, industrial potency and energetic entrepreneurship was doomed by the inexorable forces of human corruption, naked greed, endemic stupidity and the onset of relaxed indifference to the kinetics of continued prosperity, the desideratum of internal unity and the harsh demands of survival in an unforgiving world. Its early decline may be understood as a function of its precipitous success and, in this sense, the current woes afflicting the nation may be considered as entirely predictable and strictly unavoidable. Debt, dependency, unproductivity, preoccupation with untenable theories and fads, internecine conflict, racial politics, affirmative (or infirmative) action, the multicultural salad bowl, intellectual debasement of the general public, a decadent clerisy, incompetent and sybaritic leaders and a climate in which, to cite Victor Davis Hanson, “profits create suspicion; failures earn subsidies.”
These developments are not accidental. The status quo of this day is deliberately contrived. The operating philosophy of progressivism for the last century has been very simple. As columnist David Harsanyi explained it, the American people have too much freedom with which they make too many stupid choices. And therefore, we must be ruled, not merely governed, an open (but now irreversible) betrayal of the political philosophy that founded the nation. This nation was founded on the idea that the fundamental purpose of its government is not actually to govern. Its purpose is to secure the liberty of the people. Therefore, Americans were to be citizens of a nation, not subjects of a sovereign. The people themselves were to be sovereign.
Today, the State is absolutely sovereign. The Political Class does not and cannot trust them. The result is utterly predictable but detectable only in hindsight, when, of course, it is too late: “1984 is here and it’s not pretty,” observes screenwriter Roger Simon, except that the State is far more infiltrative of our lives than poor Winston Smith ever suffered or, for that matter, than George Orwell ever wildly imagined. “And here’s the big problem: it’s hard to see how it’s going to get better.”
It’s not going to get better. Here is why: the majority of Americans do not want it to get better, mainly because they do not understand what “better” means.
The American electorate is “liberal and statist”
If all these issues, serious as they are, could be understood as an aberrant administration for which the solution and correction simply may come at the next election, then I would not be writing this post. But, as I indicated above on one of Obamacare’s real objectives and in the explanations about how the administration uses the power of the state to silence its political opponents, Americans have already enjoyed the last truly free election they will ever see. Ever. And this is upsetting to only a minority of us.
By no means look to the moribund Republican party for Constitutional liberty. I knew before the end of G.W. Bush’s first term that it was dealing death to American liberty as equally as the Democrats. As I said then, both parties are big-government activists with the same foundational political philosophy:
“America is a problem to be fixed, and Americans are a people to be managed.”
The electorate voted for the fast track to subjectship rather than citizenship. The election was a decisive defeat for the Republican party, putting the party into permanent sunset.
The Republican Party cannot stay true to its historical principles and win again. For most of the last eight decades, the American Left has taken over, successively, American political theory, opinion leaders, university academia, the media, mainline churches, public education and finally the entire Democrat party. The Left has suffered only rare and temporary setbacks in their Great March. Now it is ensconced and it is permanent.
Conservatives continue to insist that America is basically a center-right nation. This is nothing but whistling in the graveyard. If it was ever true, it is no longer. If 2012’s election shows anything, it shows that America is a leftwing nation: “Americans are predominantly, if not overwhelmingly, ‘liberal and statist.’ ”
And this is by design, of course. …
The problem is not that Republicans and Democrats are not different. They are. The problem is that they are different in ways that mean that neither party enhances personal freedom of individual Americans, and instead concentrates power and wealth in their own hands. …
This is what a century or so of progressivism has wrought – almost everyone in the country, at every income level, is dependent on the government to a significant (or more) degree, run by the Political Class, who ensures enough patronage is spread over a wide enough swath of the electorate to retain its power and position.
This is the status quo and it is not going to be reversed because the only people who still truly understand the Founders’ principles of limited government, personal liberty, delegated powers and true checks and balances among the three branches of government are the Greatest Generation. They are all in their late 80s or older and are dying at an ever-increasing rate. It’s an open question whether their children, the Boomers, have all three of
* the historical knowledge and understanding
* intellectual tools and
* collective will
to reverse the strengthening Leftism of the country. And it’s a guarantee that anyone younger than the Boomers simply do not have even two of the three. Don’t believe me? Then go here and see how readily ordinary supporters of this administration agree that the Bill of Rights should be repealed.
Folks, it’s over, just plain over. There is nowhere else to turn to. Liberty is gone. Completely. Forever. That’s the way I see it.

“As it happens;I heard on a science programme that the term Black Hole was invented by an Indian scientist who based it on the Black Hole of Calcutta.”
Sure it wasn’t the Khyber Pass?
Clear Memories.
Great skit, btw.:-)
Frank P : I think you are confusing this with with Kenny Williams playing the* Khasi* in Carry on up the Khyber.
Donald Sensing’s comments seem to me to make perfect sense.
To be optimistic, though, and suggest where solutions might arise, I think one has to go to the Alexander Boot position of it must worse before it can get better.
I really do think that, as Andrew Neather suggested, the ‘rubbing’ of people’s noses in it is going to lead, not where he thought it would lead, but in fact to Left and Right redefining themselves.
I do think that in the end there will be far Left parties taking over in places like Greece and other parts of the Med that will re-define themselves by rejecting the euro and rejecting mass immigration and that this will become a template – this is why the EU fights so hard to keep together.
The reason why Communist parties are doing so well in places like Greece is because of the poverty, but I think if they drop their mad adherence to the EU, their popularity would go even higher and open the way for a renaissance of the right.
Once one country exits the EU and makes a blueprint – everybody will go.
I think both Left and Right will have to scrabble for votes by being against immigration – but you won’t get the EU’s help with that.
Spain in particular is in upheaval because of the poverty and corruption but also because of the level of Muslim immigration.
Islam wants Spain back.
What will happen if there is a new civil war in Spain?
Would outsiders join the cause as they did in the Spanish civil war last century?
In 1294 there is the fascinating – and very often whitewashed story (Wikipedia leaves out the non-PC parts) – of Guzman The Good, who has a statue in Spain.
Hordes of Muslims (that’s the word the history guide books are often frightened to use) stood outside the castle gates trying to re-take the place.
This is an excerpt from After Rome – Holy War and Conquest – Episode 2 with the ineffable Boris Johnson.
The excerpt is 10 minutes long. You only need to hear the story of Guzman the Good.
Start at 2.55 on the counter. Surrounded by failure, the Spanish take it upon themselves to sort the Muslim immigration problem out once and for all.
They know how to do this sort of thing in Spain.
Not only is the story of Guzman the Good utterly inspiring, but listen to the date of when the statue of him was erected.
Spain does know its roots and all the trouble it has had with Islam.
And this has all come back to haunt it as the place is being inundated with Muslims once again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rQw8az9maA
I do think that being geographically and historically at the heart of this, somewhere like Spain will be the first to come to its senses.
It is places like America and the UK that have not had the Muslim immigration problems that Spain has had for centuries that look completely lost.
“Allahua akbar.”
An explosion in Tipton at a mosque. Residents say the mosque would have been full had the timings not changed for Friday prayers, which would have meant casualties,” BBC 5 Live reporter Phil Mackie said. Surely. if one is planning to bomb a site, intelligence would demand knowing the exact comings and goings of the potential target(s). It may well be that moslems bombed their own place of worship to take the limelight off the tragic funeral of the beheaded soldier, and also to blacken the reputations of groups openly hostile to islam. Not so original. Nazi Germany started several events, including The Night of The Long Knives using innocent people as the culprits.
Peter from Maidstone
Hope your mother-in-law has a speedy and good recovery.
I find the incident in Tipton most alarming.
But also suspicious in a taqyya sense.
Anyone who did that knew that they would take the spotlight (again) off Lee Rigby.
It happened with the graffiti on the London war memorials, it happened in Muswell Hill and has happened over and over.
Are they all false flag ops?
Or are some of them real? I don’t know.
But I do know that that spotlight has once again been yanked off Lee Rigby.
And that the narrative many Muslim propaganists have been pumping out for years – about non-Muslim extremism must be put as high on the agenda as Muslim extremism – is gaining momentum.
These attacks help the taqyya-ers.
And given the allegation last week that an undercover policeman may have helped plant devices in animal rights attacks – I must stress that the officer was interviewed and fervently denies he ever did this – one does have to wonder just who is behind them.
Anne Wotana Kaye 1@July 12th, 2013 – 19:56
Plod say it is a ‘terrorist incident’
But I cannot find a definition of that. Wiki suggests it means a violent incident for political ends, but says it isnt properly defined. Seems a bit over the top for something that just broke a few windows,
Tipton:
Mosque ‘almost attacked’ (somebody heard a ‘BANG)’; a handful of Wickes two-inch flat headed fence nails strewn around; nobody injured; cui bono?
I do not believe there is a ‘right wing’ terrorist group stupid enough to hand a propaganda coup to the Muzzies on the day of of the Rigby funeral. On the other hand, Chief Inspector Knacker was flanked on TV by a bearded Imam in dark bins as plod declared it a ‘terrorist incident’. I repeat cui bono?
Strong stench of red herring pervades Tipton this evening..
Sounds like “It’s got their name on it.” And I don’t mean feckin’ Wickes.
Gedouttahere Mohammed!
Bob Lambert is the name of that former undercover officer.
This is the accusation he was involved in terrorism (he denies it):
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158725/Undercover-police-officer-planted-firebomb-department-store-animal-rights-protest.html
This is how Bob Lambert earns a living now. Would you believe it, a former undercover officer is shaping an agenda! Where did he learn how to shape an agenda, I wonder? :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk7wjE5eLjo
Because the polticians years ago strategically turned special branch, MI5, MI6 and the Foreign Office all against non-Muslims – the finger of suspicion will now always fall on those agencies.
Those of you who remember the gut-wrenching case of the gang of homo child rapist/murderers headed by Sidney Cooke who were jailed in the mid eighties for their horrendous crimes will be pleased to know that some of them have been mercifully treated by the criminal justice system:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2362059/Sidney-Cooke-gang-paedophile-jailed-rape-killing-boy-14-bars-inviting-children-home.html
Unfortunately, though the ‘quality of mercy is not strained’, the response from these animals is predictable; caught bang to rights in Maidstone, Peter. Followed by another slap over the wrist of course.
He should be placed in his cell, manacled stark naked to a bench and a carbide of sulphuring acid placed dripping from the ceiling on to his bollocks like ‘the gentle rain from heaven’. Instead, in three years he’ll be at it again. Not one of your erstwhile church attendees, is he Peter? They do tend to gravitate to places of worship.
Item No 45 in the news btw – even in the Daily Mail:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2362059/Sidney-Cooke-gang-paedophile-jailed-rape-killing-boy-14-bars-inviting-children-home.html
Why would you suggest he is a member of my church, Frank? What a vile and offensive thing to say.
Nowhere else in Europe has this happened: back garden shanty towns.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2362393/Inside-migrant-Shed-City-Immigrants-living-cramped-illegally-built-garden-sheds.html
The answer is obvious (and it does happen sometimes): demolish the back garden house and bill the house owner.
There was some wonderful footage of this I saw a while back and I nearly laughed myself hoarse watching it.
The look on his face!
But why is this policy not purseued more rigorously?
Because FibLabCon wants more immigration.
Instead, they propose ID cards – a measure that will do nothing to reduce immigration but make it greatly easier to control the population, especially those who put up political opposition to mass immigration.
If someone builds a house without planning permission it has to be knocked down and all of these places should be placed into a state of emergency and flattened in one go on one day and everybody who built one charged the going rate of £8,000 – money that the councils would otherwise try to raise on parking fines and other motoring offences.
Hounslow is nothing in this compared to Slough.
But of course, certain communities who know how to play politics always have lots of friends on the council.
It pays to be in ‘communiteee’.
ID cards are just the Common Purpose decoy.
Bed-in-shed demolished. People out. Freezing? Back to land of origin. Goodbye – and take Julia Middleton and Lord Leveson with you.
Thank you.
Not so much ‘suggesting’ as asking, Peter, with tongue in cheek, as is my wont. Not unknown for nonces of his ilk to insinuate themselves into the embrace of Mother Church. In light of the current Archie Cuntsbury’s recent apology I think your outrage is a little excessive. What I would classify as ‘vile and offensive’ is that the evil pervert was in Maidstone, operating freely, despite police ‘surveillance’, when clearly he should still be banged up in some stinking penitentiary for the rest of his life.
The latest apology does seem to be a spin prelude to further skeletons in the cupboard coming out.
http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/the-paedofile-un-investigates-catholic-church-as-christianity-starts-a-begging-forgiveness-fest/
The church seems to be like the political parties. If it would purge itself of rottenness and paedophilia (and the political parties too – fat chance!) and actually stand up for people, then the church would be pushing at an open door.
What is it doing?
Supporting Islam.
How does that make the church reach out?
It makes them look even more remote than they have become.
I saw posters for a recent church campaign saying ‘IF’ we do something there’ll be food for everyone all over the world.
Who is that aimed at? The ordinary people in the street. They’re expected to carry the guilt for problems the world over.
I was fuming.
Why should they feel guilty or responsible?
How about throwing the money lenders out of the temple and telling fat sods like Eric Schmidt to pay their wretched taxes and banks not to launder money for Islamic terrorism.
How about fighting back for the little guy, instead of trying to make he or she feel guilty over things that are demonstrably not their fault.
I cannot stand the way the church seems to be laundering its guilt over its scandals by becoming more politically correct.
We love Islam. Are we forgiven now by society?
Even if you don’t believe in God, there is a point to the church.
It would be nice if the clergy could get it.
I have to mention Boris Johnson at Lee Rigby’s funeral.
The guilty little look on his face made Johnson look like Al Capone.
He knows what he’s been saying about Islam.
It may have been another hand that sliced Rigby’s head off but it was the political muscle powered by Johnson and Cameron that made sure that head came off.
This was Johnson on 3 July this year:
‘Boris Johnson today launched an Islamic finance forum that City Hall hopes could create billions of pounds of investment and help “knock out” negative stereotypes of the religion.
‘Sir Eddie Lister, the Mayor’s chief of staff, said: “We’ve had all the negatives of some of the recent terrorist issues and here we’ve got the positives of a great business opportunity.”
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/islamic-finance-forum-can-help-fight-extremist-stereotypes-8685292.html
http://www.danielpipes.org/4973/islamic-economics-what-does-it-mean
So long as some fat git in the City is laundering millions off the back of Islamic terror that will ‘knock out’ ‘negative stereotypes’ of the religion?
Night Nurse
When money talks, bullshit walks.
Donald Sensing’s sad moratorium on Western Civilisation is justified.
The whole edifice of the London Mayoralty should be torn down; it is Johnny-come-lately, corrupt and utterly unnecessary. The fact that Johnson (and the lizard that was his predecessor in the ‘office’) have been given the titular control of the Metropolitan Police, Johnson directly from being the Editor of a debased magazine and a sporadic slot in a ‘satircal TV programme – well past its sell-by date and otherwise populated with clapped out comedians, is one of the most baneful – nay – baleful attacks on British heritage and culture in my lifetime. The fact that ‘Bozza’ (Jesus Wept!) looms as a possible Prime Ministerial candidate, is an even worse development than the event that enabled the current usurper of the office.
And as Ramsey MacDonald was in No.10 when I was born, I’ve lived through the incumbencies of 17 Prime Ministers, so my yardstick is a long one and I’ve seen some bad bastards abusing the office in my time.
I refer to a previous post:

On the question of whether the REAL Arab spring in Egypt broke out with the appointment of Mohamed El Baradei as interim president, an interesting place to start is the relationship between El Baradei and George Soros of Common Cause notoriety and others of his ilk. This first step is dated January 2011. There are no doubt other and better places to start. All roads lead to Rome?

Malfleur, I am sure that if the informal and formal connections between people and organisations were exposed we would have a very different view of the national and international landscape than we presently assume exists. It is not even so much that there is one evil genius sitting at the head of one table in a secret evil genius lair, but that there is a complete arrogance among the class of leading politicians and businessmen which allows the informal connections they have developed to subvert proper democractic accountability. There is also the membership of multiple organisations and groups by the same people which ends up giving various groups disproportionate and anti-democratic influence. It would be very interesting to understand the links between our own politicians and various other figures and organisations. I know some of this has been done. But where, for instance, are Hagues connections? How does Mandelson become so influential even now?
Intelligence is one of the necessary weapons of the resistance in the UK, otherwise we beat the air wildly, not sure of how things are joined together.
Love the Obama sketch!
And Hollywood, that mecca of political correctness, can’t wait to make their canonisation biopic about him.
I see there is a film about Mandela coming out.
It is timed for January release, which means they want to try to get it to win some Oscars.
Film folk just love to graft wit and humanity on to real people who are unlikely to have ever said such words.
I couldn’t pay to watch Helen Mirren in The Queen when it came out as it looked awful. It was when it got the Oscar that I knew it would be awful.
I watched it on TV when it premiered and the whole thing felt like watching Helen Mirren worming her tongue round the most unhygienic parts of the anatomy of the House of Saxe-Coburg.
What grovelling.
The media are puffing up the actor in Mandela. He was in a socially engineered show called Luther (let’s get PC casting for a prime time detective show).
Some woman from the BBC told Maggie Brown of The Observer that it was ‘colour blind’ casting. Of course it was. Then, a few days later, I see in the listings someone write that the BBC was ‘brave’ to have re-commissioned the series.
It hadn’t been very popular and no doubt had the actor been white, the show would have gone. But not when PC calls. ‘Brave’.
So we have a real-life Marxist terrorist, a Hollywood gone PC mad and a BBC favourite actor for ‘the leader you knew – the man you didn’t’.
How much of his terrorism will be in there?
I’ll wait until it’s on telly before I pay money for anything like that.
William Hagues’ McKinsey connections are always worth looking into.
McKinsey is like Goldman Sachs.

How does Mandelson become so influential, even now?
Ha!
I’m never sure about the cartoon format for these things but this one shows exactly where diversity leads.
It is a perfect dramatisation of liberal fascism:

I find it very interesting how when novelists, playwrights and screenwriters no longer tell the truth, cartoons have had to fill the gap.
So much culture has become redundant that people only get interested when it is nostalgic and about a previous era. Downton Abbey is a classic example.
Who wants to look at diversity?

Unfortunately you have to make some decisions before you need people looking after you.
Once that happens its to late and your at their mercy.
It’s a cruel world at the end.
We arrived home yesterday late afternoon after a 314 mile drive from Devon, the Inn that we spent five nights at was well above average and the food was in the main quite good, should any of you require a berth near to Totnes you could do far worse than giving Jason and his wife Samantha (Sam) a try at.

Anne-Marie Waters is the speaker IRISHBOY cites. She wants to be Labour candidate for Brighton.
This was her contribution to the Oxford university debate. Up they pop like politically correct meerkats with points of information to silence her:
http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/07/islam-is-not-a-peaceful-religion/
This is another speech at the same debate:
http://vladtepesblog.com/2013/07/13/daniel-johnson-islam-is-not-a-peaceful-religion-oxford-union/
In the end I watched all six speeches just to see the disingenuousness of the speakers making the proposition that ‘Islam is a religion of speech’.
Oxford has a massive Islamic studies department now, paid for by you know who).
The most astonishing moment is when Adam Deen says the violence in The Koran is justified because it presupposes pacificism on the part of the objector.
Pacificism is morally unjustifiable, Deen says. So how can you object to violence in The Koran.
No kidding.
The Koran’s violence, he says, is proportionate!
This makes Islam a religion of peace.
It gets worse.
Speaker Matthew Handley says the media sought to characterise the killers of Lee Rigby as Muslim.
Eh? They were Muslims.
According to Handley voilent acts by Muslims tell us about individuals only.
Even if Islam has some violent elements, he says, we must intuit that it is peaceful.
There is nothing to stop anyone taking away from Islam a peaceful interpretation of it!
Medhi Hasan just dismisses his opponents with: you’re not experts on Islam.
So Islam and Muslims get to comment on non-Muslims but not the other way round.
Hasan accuses Daniel Johnson of not showing humility for his Christian religion’s past, when, in fact Johnson goes out of his way to say his church has had to renounce anti-Semitism. That it has learnt.
Peter Atkins’ was the contribution I enjoyed the most.
If you want to see it all chronologically, watch Matthew Handley’s speech first and you’ll see what arguments the speakers are sometimes addressing before them.
Hasan is always a vile speaker and here he is particularly disingenuous.
This is where its all starts (about 10 mins each for six speakers – try not to shout at the screen when Hasan comes on):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWOLzYY_ZtY
I not at all sure the Church of Rome promoted ant-semitism. It was the Papacy that sent msgs. to all it’s parishes telling them it was not the Jews poisoning wells that caused the Black Death.Simularly it was the lose of authority of the Papacy that lead to the Witchhunts;the major sinners here being two renegade priests who produced the ant-witch text Malificase Malificorum (?).I not sure how the Eastern Orthodox stood on this,but I recall no very bad attitudes reported;(over to Peter for this one ).
Fair comment, Radford. Hasan is caught overstating his case (again) – surprise, surprise.
I have been mulling over Anne-Marie Waters.
Labour knows it has huge problems at the next election and will not want to lose its gerrymandered block of Muslim voters.
Brighton has a huge LGBT population who are fed up with Islam. Her selection would soak up the Brighton constituents’ anger and not put her in a place where she would lose votes.
She would then be allowed to make noises off, while not substantially altering Labour policy on immigration, which is the key issue – the fount of all the Uk’s trouble with Islam, its ‘housing’ crisis, which as people keep pointing out is an immigration crisis.
I suspect FibLabCon will have to let some people go off-message to pick up disaffected votes and that the voter make-up of constituencies will determine who can say what.
Ms Waters would not be allowed near an inner-city seat.
I think Labour and the Tories fear disintegration and seats going to non FibLabCon parties and may well change their behavior to stop that.
I think one unthroning of one party, whether it is Tory by UKIP or Labour by someone else, will automatically lead to the other being unthroned as well.
That will be the signal that it’s safe for the second party to disintegrate and reform.
There will be a lot of weaselling to see through when we get to that point.
But we’re used to that.
Beyond the inertia of the fact that they were there first in history and have some rich backers, including the mainstream media, there is precious little propping up Labour or Tories.
They are both gettable now.
If that leads to two or three phoenix from the flames parties out of those two big ones, if one of those new parties promises to halt and reverse immigration – that’s the one the public will back.
It’s called democracy and it’s what the EU was designed to halt. They have always known this moment would come and Julia Middleton and troops have long had to plan ‘beyond authority’ to have a structure in place that new political parties will struggle to alter.
The struggle will be a long one.
The Leader Has Spoken!!!– Cameron declares : “I don’t think EDL represents anybody……..I don’t think anybody should support them…….EDL want to sow division and we should have no truck with them at all”.——-This is in response to a project by Tommy Robinson to open an EDL shop in Luton near to Islamic propagander centres.SEE http://www.heart.co.uk/dunstable/news/local/pm-responds-edl-shop-plan/
Here’s our new campaign slogan…
“I don’t think the Conservatives represent anybody……..I don’t think anybody should support them…….the Conservatives want to sow division and we should have no truck with them at all”
Night Nurse, thanks for the links to the Oxford Union debate – I didn’t make it through all of Hasan’s equivocation, but he is right in one thing, that if any politician spoke as Miss Waters or Messrs. Johnson or Atkins did, their career as a party politician would be over. And despite the young Oxonians still believing that the Religion of Peace actually is so, I was encouraged by the eloquence of the Motion’s opposers.
The Tories really are spiteful vipers.
I see that we are having an Ulster Spring.
AWK
The Ulster Spring! I like it. And without going exploring all the ins and outs of whether a particular 300yds of street should be open for a march or not, what really gets up Protestant noses is being told where and when they can parade by the very people who showed no similar discrimination in where they planted their bombs or unleashed volleys of live fire. Public buildings in N. Ireland are, by law, only permitted to fly the Union Jack on 17 days a year! Still, it won’t be long before the MCB (and that isn’t Methodist College Belfast) will be imposing similar strictures over here.
Ah, Diversity!
IRISHBOY:They,at least Tommy Robinson and associates,are already forbidden from entering Tower Hamlets under Sharia law impossed by the Met.
Radford NG – Indeed so. The fact that the Orange Order is remembering 1690 is lost on those for whom freedom, including freedom of worship, is a dirty word.
IRISHBOY : At least the Police Service N.I. is still determined to bring down Gerry Adams for the abduction and murder of Mrs.Jean McConville in 1973. On the day of the recent Boston Bombings,the US Supreme Court up-held an order for Boston College[Mass.] to give the PSNI access to the oral history file made by the late DOLOURS PRICE. Before her death she was reported as claiming she had taken Mrs.McConville over the Border at the orders of Adams,who she’d turned against for betraying the cause by collaborating in the Belfast Agreement.It is claimed there is nothing in the file;but whether there is or not the PSNI have gone all the way to find out;against those on both sides who don’t want the `peace process` disturbed.
“Taoieach Challenges Adams over Price Tapes”and much more can be found by searching on line for `Dolours Price` ;including how the US administration warns against upsetting the `peace` process.
Terrible to read that 13,000 patients died needlessly at 14 NHS trusts over the last 8 years.

“Terrible to read that 13,000 patients died needlessly at 14 NHS trusts over the last 8 years.”
On top of which we have had the evil that is “The Liverpool Pathway” where hospitals and health authorities were incentivised with huge bonuses to achieve a target of a minimum number of deaths by this horrendous practice.
The new Secretary of State for Health now seeks to hoodwink us; by removing the targets and bonuses and also by re-naming the practice, we are not told what the new name will be but we are assured that it will not include the word ‘Pathway’.
So that’s alright then, well I for one think not, we have discussed with our family and they assure us that they will be vigilant in making sure that we are not murdered at our end of life.
Peter I payed my subscription last August; I intend to do the same next month.
God bless you David. Every bit of support makes a difference and is an encouragement to me.

Hope your mother-in-law is recovering well. With the way the NHS is today, she is blessed in having a caring and involved family.
Anne, thanks for your concern. It is still touch and go. My M-i-L has pneumonia now. But at least my wife is at hand, and most of her family. And my wife has 30 years nursing experience to alert her to poor practice.

Thanks for the link to the Oxford debate.
Hard to watch the debate without getting one’s blood pressure up. The problem with the debates about Islam, and not only at Oxford, is that we’ve accepted and are debating on the terms of our opponents. We cannot win on that basis, this chap Hasan’s right, the Muslim world did produce some excellent scholars, went through peaceful phases, we of the other Abrahamic faith have caused pain and suffering bla,bla, bla. If we carry like that, at best, it will be a stalemate, at worst we will end up not just shouting at each others.
Baron doesn’t care a chip of a broken hoot either about what happened in the past or whether their religion, or for that matter any other creed, is one of peace or not. What the barbarian cares about alot is that we deal with things as they’re today, and we deal with them on our terms. Hassan and his co-religious friends can argue which hadiths are right, which wrong, which should be followed, which suppressed. It’s their club, they ought to sort out what rules the club’s run by, the interpretation of such rules, what or who should be regarded as ‘the right Islam or Muslim’ ….. All we have to do is tell them that anyone who breaks the rules of our club, rules put together over the centuries, endorsed by and large by the will of the people here, will be punished severely, he will be sent down and/or kicked out of the country. It’s that simple.
Some 150 years ago after the Enfield rifle mutiny we didn’t insist on changing the Koran, we didn’t have an argument about the relevance of this or the other hadith within it, about whether the mutiny was engendered by a specific interpretation of the Koran. There was none of it. We just did what the rules, our rules, in force at the time stipulated we would do to suppress a mutiny. It worked. Today, we seem to be yapping about the totally irrelevant question ‘is Islam a peaceful religion or not’. Why?
The Condemned Of Altona : There have been muslem youth riots for the last three nights in Hamburg that have gone unreported in English. SEE http://www.gatesofvienna.net
Baron, I was debating with some Muslims this evening on Facebook. One was trying to make it into a theological discussion and was taking the mickey out of various traditional Christian teachings. But I insisted that what was required was not a comparison of theological views, but the practical outworking of Christian and Islamic beliefs. Essentially, is it the case that where Christianity calls on its followers to “love our enemies”, Islam calls on its followers to “kill the unbeliever”.
I said to these Muslims that if I am wrong about the Trinity no-one will be harmed to any great extent, but if they are wrong about the requirement to kill all those who do not believe then they will leave a trail of bodies behind them.
One insisted that Islam is a religion of peace etc, but I had many quotes from Islamic sheikhs and imams calling on their disciples to murder those who were not Muslims. Then he tried to say that only a few held these views, and I pointed out that the Ayatollah Khomeini, hardly a minor figure in Islam, insisted that killing unbelievers was a core aspect of Islam. Then he tried to say that it was only Shias who spoke like this, and I replied with a report that showed 70% of Islamic killings in 2011 were caused by Sunnis. I then asked if he was using taqqiya, and he insisted that Islam did not allow lying, which is a lie of course.
I think this is the main issue, as you point out. It’s not history, or theology, but the bloody fact that Muslims are busy killing people around the world to please Allah.
PfM
We were taught in grade 9 in Junior High that the Spanish Inquisition was set up to kill Jews and Muslims that did not believe.
Some of my Southern Baptist friends have similar beliefs.
“…this chap Hasan’s right, the Muslim world did produce some excellent scholars”
As the Jewish world does now – around 140 Nobel prizes I believe, plus current Israeli research in electronics and pharmaceuticals. Will Hasan and the rest of the Muslim world give Jews credit for this? Like hell they will.
JJB, pretty irrelevant really. The teachings of the Southern Baptist movement is not that anyone should be killed, as far as I am aware, but the Koran clearly states that unbelievers should be killed. The Spanish Inquisition was not Christian in its excess, which is why it is universally condemned.
If the Taliban were the ONLY manifestation of a violent Islam then Islam itself could be excused from being violent. But that is not the case.
PeterfM @ 22.45
Peter, it’s all fine to win an argument here and there, it still doesn’t solve anything, those who worship the Allah will not give up, neither will you, or rather we. It’s sort of pointless, an argument ad nauseum that leads nowhere except to frustration, despair.
Colin @ 7.02
As it happens Baron with you on this, but what does one achieve saying what you’ve said? They bring up Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Al Khwarzimi (the only three Baron can remember), we display Freud, Einstein and Crick, then what? They say we wouldn’t have Aristotle if Ibn Sina didn’t translate him, we say Einstein’s relativity theory brought us the riches of the hitech kind…. and so it goes, it never ends, the outcome’s what?
We should acknowledge their contribution, be proud of ours, but when it comes to today, insist they stick to our laws, rules and things whilst they live with us, and if not…..
JJB @ 06.42:
JJB’s circle of friends: “Some of my Southern Baptist friends have similar beliefs (killing Jews and Muslims who don’t believe).
Ever considered making new friends?
Baron:
Agree it isn’t an indicator of whether a nation/race/religion is totally civilised. Achievements in one area don’t rule out atrocities in another, otherwise the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened in a high achieving country like Germany.
I simply offered it up as a way of shutting up people like Hasan, who seem to think that achievements hundreds of years ago (with a little help from Greeks like Euclid) mean that they should enjoy some sort of immunity from criticism now.
I agree – comply or leave.
