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.

EU wants control of YOUR pension: Brussels’ secret plan REVEALED
“Senior MEPs fear Brussels is planning a “social union” but legislation is being held back until after June’s referendum.
Already plans for a common European unemonth by Commissioner Marianne Thyssen and would start with the eurozone countries but would see other EU members put under strong pressure to join.
The concerns have been highlighted by Tory MEP David Campbell Bannerman who has said that the European Commission is holding back a massive amount of centralising legislation until after the referendum.”

“So far as I can see the Prime Minister has done nothing whatsoever against either the letter or indeed the spirit of our tax laws in managing his own tax affairs. Indeed, I would sooner defend his behaviour than that of Mr Blair.
However I do have a much larger bone to pick with him about the statement of his government’s views on the EU referendum which will shortly be dropping through all our letter boxes at a cost to the taxpayers of some £9 million.
The fact is that it is not a statement from the government, but a statement from one faction of the government, cooked up in secret from the other faction, which had no opportunity to offer any criticism or views on either its content or the use of public money to produce or distribute it…
…The worst legacy of Mr Cameron’s time in office is the damage which it has wrought to our system of Cabinet – damage which had already suffered under Mr Blair’s Labour mal-administrations… “.

I tried, but searching “National Enquirer, (U.S.)” produced a labyrinthine avalanche of both National Enquirer pages and other sites that purported to be quoting items from the National Enquirer – so much so that I became confused. Maybe some of the posters who responded before I did have led to what you were looking for.
Bill Whittle’s latest Truth Revolt/Firewall video:
APPROPRIATE THIS!
The Social Justice Warriors — the first warriors to faint at the sight of a penknife — have a new weapon to show off their unearned moral superiority: CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, where mainstream culture steals from minorities without being “authentic.” Surprisingly Bill Whittle agrees with this, and has a list of grievances all his own.

Those brought up in a completely different culture are going to find it difficult to adjust. The problem is that our elite cannot see it.
There was that English rugby league player who returned from NZ, where he played in the scrum, to play for England in last year’s World Cup in the three quarters and, while he played better than most of us 🙂 , couldn’t reach his best because he hadn’t managed to absorb the different culture, the different rules and the different game that his new position required.
It might seem a different situation but it is all about how past experiences play such an important part of building up our ‘gut reaction’ and world view.
How those in the Humanities could have missed such a large elephant in the room is incredible. What was it that they were studying? 🙂

Thanks for that link. As I am blackballed from the site I couldn’t read Murray’s piece – only the comments. But it was worth it, if only for this comment from Simon in reply to Malcolm Stevas:
“Malcolm, I agree with you all you say here, except that I can’t buy into your exculpation of the great British public. Gosh, how I wish I could.
The fact is, we (not me or you maybe, but huge numbers of our countrymen) voted for Blair in 1997. We then re-elected him in 2001, and again in 2005, by which time his agenda was abundantly obvious. Then in 2010 we elected his self-described heir, David Cameron, in full knowledge that he was another cloth-headed social liberal who would deliver more of exactly the same. After that, we gave him an absolute majority in 2015 to carry on in the same vein, despite his total failure in the meantime to slow immigration in any way whatsoever.
Now, after yet another year of pathetic impotence, net immigration is running at 350 000 to 500 000 every year. Our youngsters can’t afford homes, our public services are cracking up, and the growth of the violent, parallel society that is Islam continues to erase the native culture of ever more of our cities. Yet nonetheless, around 50% of the population seem prepared to back his campaign to keep us in the EU, which if successful will guarantee we won’t be able to do anything to address any of our problems for at least another generation – by which time it will almost certainly be too late to save what’s left of our way of life.
Whichever way I look at it, I can’t see how the British public haven’t brought this on themselves.”

David Miliband says that leaving the EU would be an “act of arson against the international order”.
Sounds good to me. Who voted for this “international order” anyway?
Corbyn says that he wants the EU to be a “social union” by which he really means a “socialist union”.
Day by day it is becoming more apparent that the EU is the comintern by stealth, foisted on us by Long Marchers.
The BBC is carefully concealing the New Labour connection with the scandal of crumbling PFI schools in Scotland.
A certain creature once extolled Gordon Brown for replacing and modernising our “crumbling Victorian schools”. Well they lasted more than a hundred years. The Scottish PFI schools have only lasted ten.
The Guardian is focussing on the 2014 profits made by the consortium that built the schools rather than the fact that they were built in 2006. This will facilitate shifting scrutiny on to the current Tory government in the usual conniving way of the left.
The Guardian article for all its huffing and puffing fails to mention the involvement of government in PFI at all, which is probably because the devolved Scottish government in 2006 was SCOTTISH LABOUR with a NEW LABOUR government in Westminster.
Before any focus on corruption and fraud in 2006 the lefties will collectively shout “Quick! Look over there! TORY PROFITEERING!”
Curious how this lady, Andie Pauly, who only does what millions of lefties do, is described as “divisive” by the BBC. Could it be because she does it from a right wing position?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-35813994
Of course. When the BBC and other lefty institutions say “divisive” about right wing political views it simply reveals their aspiration for a single party state where left wing orthodoxy is coerced and dissent is outlawed.
The more bizarre and extreme forms of left wing Political Correctness increasingly manifesting amongst students are not “divisive”. Oh no. When a black student attempts to forcibly cut the dreadlocks off a white student for “cultural appropriation” that is somehow not “divisive”, let alone bullying.
But when a courageous woman of the right pushes back and gives the left a taste of its own medicine, then that becomes “divisive”. “Divisive” is lefty code for anyone who doesn’t swallow their crap and is not afraid to say so in public.
If she was in the UK she would have been arrested by now.

Bliar: My conscience is clear, but I do have to confess that I held my nose and voted Conservative, not UKIP, despite Cameron in 2010. We should have all voted Labour in 2010 in order to hasten the end, in the hope that finally something decent would rise up from the ashes!
The former head of the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission has once again said the ‘unsayable’. In a piece for the Sunday Times (ahead of a Channel 4 documentary to go out on Wednesday) Trevor Phillips unveils an in-depth new poll carried out by ICM (which can be viewed here).
The findings include the facts that:
ADVERTISING
inRead invented by Teads
23 percent of British Muslims polled support the idea of there being areas of the UK where sharia law is introduced instead of British law.
39 percent believe wives should always obey their husbands.
31 percent believe it is acceptable for British Muslims to keep more than one wife.
52 percent think homosexuality should be illegal in the UK.
The usual people are trying to find ways to quibble with the authority or depth of this poll. Their effort only proves once again that however bad the facts, some people remain so sectarian that they will continue to blame everything except the problem for the problem (‘How dare that bigoted polling company discover our dirty laundry?’)
But in some ways the Phillips piece is most important for what he himself admits. Among other things Phillips confesses that Britain has for years been telling itself a lie in relation to its Muslim populations – not least in pretending that they will blend in just like everyone else. Phillips writes:
‘Britain desperately wants to think of its Muslims as versions of the Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, or the cheeky-chappie athlete Mo Farah. But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is.’
He even recognises that the authority for these views may in fact come from Muslim scriptures and traditions. After a discussion of British Muslim attitudes towards women he says:
‘We didn’t get to discuss whether the injunction at sura 4:34 of the Koran to chastise your wife falls under this rubric. I have no doubt that many husbands will claim that it does. The bland Koranic platitude, in my view, hides a clear invitation to legitimise domestic violence.’
For all of which – and more – Trevor Phillips deserves considerable praise. Once again he has proved able to break taboos which too many liberals in the UK are keen to continue enforcing in the face of all available evidence.
But a problem remains which Trevor Phillips himself continues to be a part of. While admitting to the fact that he and others woefully misunderstood the nature of Muslim attitudes in the UK, and while admitting that many British liberals continue to be too frightened to face up to the facts, he says near the outset of his piece:
‘When I was chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, I played a principal role in the creation of UK laws against religious discrimination — and it was a report that I commissioned exactly 20 years ago that first introduced the term Islamophobia to Britain.’
Later on he says:
‘Twenty years ago, when, as chair of the Runnymede Trust, I published the report titled Islamophobia: A Challenge for Us All, we thought that the real risk of the arrival of new communities was discrimination against Muslims.’
And then:
‘Non-Muslims who live and work in areas with a large Muslim presence have been uneasily aware of the emerging differences for a long time, but many are too worried about being tagged as Islamophobes to raise the debate.’
Well isn’t that the problem right there? I am as happy as anyone to see the liberal dams cracking when it comes to the big issues of our time. But it is harder to celebrate those causing those cracks when they are the very people who put up those dams in the first place.
It was the mainstreaming of the fraudulent concept of ‘Islamophobia’ and the whole grievance-industry set up by Trevor Phillips, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission and their ilk that made Britain so incapable of answering this problem any earlier. Even now Trevor Phillips remains principally helpful in waking up to things just a few years too late. So although his proscriptions for how to deal with this problem may be helpful, even this late in the day, they miss perhaps the biggest remaining ‘unsayable’.
So having mapped the fact that Muslims are uniquely unwilling to integrate into Britain, Phillips writes:
‘There are now nearly 3m Muslims living in Britain. Half of them were born abroad, and their numbers are being steadily reinforced by immigration from Africa, the Middle East, eastern Europe and the Far East, as well as the traditional flow from the Indian subcontinent. The best projections suggest that, by the middle of the century, the number of Muslims in Britain and elsewhere in Europe will at least double, given the youthfulness of the communities.’
Now if you accept the reality that Phillips now does accept – and that mainstream opinion across Europe is coming to accept – would one particular answer not stand out as eminently sensible at this juncture? Such as turning that flow into the merest trickle? If a community is currently causing a lot of challenges and looks like posing them for many generations to come, why on earth would you not slow that ‘steady reinforcement’? Other than out of fear that you might be branded an ‘Islamophobe’?
I know from experience what an honourable and decent man Trevor Phillips is. So here is a prediction. In ten years time he will agree with people like me that the numbers matter, and that it is purest insanity to continue encouraging through migration the growth of a population which raises so many problems of integration once it is here. Of course for another ten years those of us who do say that will be pelted with the same insults Phillips and some of his colleagues set in motion all those years ago. And when he does say it there will be as much rejoicing as there is today for these latest statements. The only snag is that ten years from now, when Trevor finds it comfortable to say this, it will be even later in the day to turn these trends around.

Never voted for Bliar and I’m proud to say I have never voted for Labour ever in my life but I think Simon is wrong on Cameron in 2010. His description of Cameron “as another cloth-headed social liberal who would deliver more of exactly the same” is more from hindsight as before the election Cameron had presented and promised in a very different way. We now know it was guff and if Simon really had him pegged in 2010 then credit where credit is due. I didn’t! I thought the stuff about quangos, rolling back the state and sweeping away all New Labour’s bad law was genuinely intended at the time.
Here are some examples from his 2009 speech in Manchester:
“But this idea that for every problem there’s a government solution for every issue an initiative, for every situation a czar…. It ends with them making you register with the government to help out your child’s football team. With police officers punished for babysitting each other’s children. With laws so bureaucratic and complicated even their own Attorney General can’t obey them. Do you know the worst thing about their big government? It’s not the cost, though that’s bad enough. It is the steady erosion of responsibility. Our task is to lead Britain in a completely different direction.”
“That the state is your servant, never your master. Common sense and decency. The British sense of community.”
“And we will have to tear down Labour’s big government bureaucracy, ripping up its time-wasting, money-draining, responsibility-sapping nonsense.”
“That’s why ID cards, 42 days and Labour’s surveillance state are so utterly unacceptable and why we will sweep the whole rotten edifice away.”
And, in his 2009 speech to Reform:
“growth of the quango state is one of the main reasons so many people feel that nothing ever changes, nothing will ever get done and that government’s automatic response to any problem is to pass the buck and send people from pillar to post until they just give up in exasperated fury. Too many state actions, services and decisions are carried out by people who cannot be voted out by the public, by organisations that feel no pressure to answer for what happens – in a way that is completely unaccountable.”
Then in 2012:-
“Five in six quango staff will keep their jobs despite David Cameron’s promise to have a bonfire of bureaucracy. Ministers have been criticised for slow progress in getting rid of “non-departmental public bodies” as new figures reveal that 100 out of 900 have been culled. Around 150 more have been merged down to 70 but it appears many staff have simply been transferred across to different bodies. Official statistics show only 18,000 jobs out of more than 110,000 at quangos will be scrapped in total.”
And this:-
http://www.spectator.co.uk/2014/02/why-are-quangos-still-so-stuffed-with-lefties/
Then, in 2015:-
“Taxpayers who felt pleased when the government last year announced the abolition of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) are now feeling cheated. Yesterday it emerged that Sara Thornton, head of the body established to replace it, the National Police Chiefs Council, is being paid £252,000 — £50,000 more than her predecessor.”

On the night CMD won the Tory leadership, I knew that the Party had been duped; I knew he was a wrong un. Just how wrong I couldn’t measure, but I have never been surprised at events since then, only dismayed.
I thought he hinted at being Euro-sceptic just before the decisive vote, which brought many onside, but Euro-sceptics don’t hint, do they? They are passionate about it. He has never had an ounce of passion about doing anything about Brussels’ Rule. And the LibDems were so useful, weren’t they?
Even so, if you had told me then what we now know, it would be unbelievable. So many on ConHome were duped. It is sad, because the country has been damaged so deeply.

Agreed. In fact in hindsight his 2009 speech wasn’t that Eurosceptic:-
“Well, here is a progressive reform plan for Europe. Let’s work together on the things where the EU can really help, like combating climate change, fighting global poverty and spreading free and fair trade. But let’s return to democratic and accountable politics the powers the EU shouldn’t have.”

BRUSSELS SHOCK: EU plots tax on British…to fund benefits for jobless in ITALY
BARMY Brussels bureaucrats are plotting to tax British shoppers to help subsidise the growing benefits bill for the Eurozone’s jobless.
“Leaders on the continent want to milk Britain’s growing economy by slapping a VAT-style tax on goods and services to fund an EU-wide unemployment benefit fund.
The plan would mean British shoppers shelling out millions more at the tills every year to pay for benefits and job creation schemes in Mediterranean countries including Spain and Italy, which have high unemployment rates.
Other options being considered by Brussels chiefs include a windfall levy on GDP, which would hit Britain disproportionately hard because the UK is Europe’s second biggest economy.
The proposal is just the latest plot by other European nations to raid Britain for cash to pay for their own problems, coming just weeks after Germany said it wants to tax UK motorists to subsidise the growing bill for its 1.1million migrants.”

“The geriatric crime wave is accelerating, and analysts note that the Japanese prison system — newly expanded and at about 70 percent occupancy — is being prepared for decades of increases. Between 1991 and 2013, the latest year for which the Ministry of Justice publishes figures, the number of elderly inmates in jail for repeating the same offence six times has climbed 460 percent.
If it weren’t so, so sad, it would be positively elegant. You are an elderly Japanese person who can’t get by. You are not aggressive so you want to commit a crime with no threat or hostility. So, you commit one of the most non- hostile crimes possible – shoplifting.”

It would be interesting to read our comments in the run-up to the 2010 election when Melanie still had her blog on the Speccy site. Pity they are no longer available.
If I remember correctly we all had our reservations about CMD, but he was at that time the best option to oust the clearly manic Brown from No.10.
The general drift of the craic at that time was although we suspected his credentials, a Tory vote was necessary and if he turned out to be a sheep in wolf’s clothing, we could oust him in the next election. I can remember posting a congratulatory post after his victory appearance with his pregnant wife, who looked particularly radiant on that day and softened my heart.
Verity (pbuh) took a somewhat more hard-assed view and augured what has indeed turned out to be pretty accurate.
Anyway, I voted UKIP in the next show. Fat lot of good that did. A plague on all their houses. Richard Kemp – step up to the plate, before it’s too late!

Open Europe’s views on the UK policies required in the event of Brexit.
Can someone explain to me why cyclical UK labour requirements can only be ever be satisfied by the permanent immigration of low skilled foreign criminals and their broods? And why is there not linkage in any way to facilitating the return of the 4 million or so indigenous benefits class to work?
When I worked abroad it was on time limited visas, with my employer responsible for my behaviour and a swift exit at the end of my contract. There was no opportunity to claim social benefits and the purchase of real property was prohibited.

Alright my little hero,
Are you ready to squeal?
No time for second guessing
This fantasy is real
Hush, now stop your talking
The cat’s already out of the bag
I’m removing my fishnet stocking
And using it as a gag
Snap on the cuffs
I will not ask you twice
I am your mistress
Rarely do I play nice
You are my slave
Obey my call
I rein with wrath
I’ll keep you in thrall
Panama How Could You?
How could you hurt me the way you did?
How could you forget everything we shared?
How could you do throw away our future?
Panama how could you?
What about the tears we shed together?
What about the laughs we had together?
What about the love we made?
Panama how could you?
How does it feel to know that you broke me?
How does it feel to know you’re on my mind every single day?
How does it feel to know that I can’t move on yet?
Panama how could you?
Why did you abandon me when you knew I needed you?
Why did you break your promise to me?
Why did you leave me?
Panama How Could You Do That To Me?

Baron – 14:54 ‘today’s conservatives ‘
Yes, but I think you mean 2005 conservatives! Recently, ConHome has been a place for grieving, as reality has dawned – though there are a few left ploughing the old furrow! I have seen on Guido Fawkes that, in answer to a Douglas Caswell question, Cameron thinks that he will be leading the Brexit negotiation if we vote to leave! I am not so certain, even with fixed term parliaments:
Dave Thinks He’ll Oversee BREXIT Negotiations
http://order-order.com/2016/04/13/dave-thinks-hell-oversee-brexit-negotiations
Sometimes it is easy to think a different leader would have changed events completely. While DD would have been the better choice, I don’t know whether he would have been able to overcome the groundswell against him in the way that we would imagine, or hoped. Remember how Mrs T fought against it and eventually succumbed. I admire her, not for her ‘perfectness’, but for the fact that she managed to get anything done at all. Not even her Cabinet was ‘for her’. She changed much, but there was so much else to do inside the political machinery, from the EU to …. everything associated with EU, including their mindset. 🙂
I think times have changed and are still changing; the tide has turned. The Steyn/Farage event in Canada, though still losing the final vote, still won on the number of votes turned. News headlines reporting the winds of change are occurring daily. People are, at last, putting the pieces together and creating a picture to which they have contributed, but they don’t like it.
Even Trevor Philips has confessed. He is to be praised, for being big enough to admit to it, and intelligent enough! It is so hard to escape a cult, especially when rewarded with salary, prestige and brownie points.
Noa @ 10:50
How could anyone ever think that the followers of a creed insisting that its adherents are of the creed first, of anything else second can integrate in other societies beggars belief, Noa. The best we can hope for is that they submit to the primacy of our belief system (as they did in the ‘barbaric’ past) with all its trappings like man made laws, freedom of expression, association, etc.

The winds may be changing, Robert, but it will require the potency of the mother of all hurricanes to dislodge the anointed. Let’s just hope, you’re right.

If only he were right, Robert, the barbarian would gladly back him, for the first (and last?) time.
Baron – 15:36
I think he wants to save the EU, not the European people.
So the ‘conservative government’s’ ‘Leave’ campaign rebel rump have been ‘officially appointed’ as the spearhead of Brexit. Thus all the subtle levers of power and promises and threats will available for CMD and his cabal to affect the outcome, added to the already criminal diversion of £9.3m from the Treasury funds to fund their propaganda. Inspector Knicker-Hypenated-Knacker. How’s about alerting the ‘Serious Fraud Squad’ and the ‘Public Corruption’ outfit. Seems to be a prima facie jobbie there, who knows what some serious delving might unearth?
I regard many in Vote Leave as false-flag organizations : those under such names as “Xxxxxxxxxx for Britain”.
But of course they are apparently already heavily engaged in investigating Whittingdale’s dalliance with a ‘sex-worker’, another red herring to divert us from the government’s duplicity and treachery. Who cares if he dates employee from the local poultry farm, whose job it is to sex chicklets? Hacked Off or Pissed Off, notwithstanding.
By the way – joking aside. Has the word ‘prostitute’ now been officially removed from all legislation and CPS directives?
Noa
I am so so sorry

Dunno if they ever kept some of the juicier reports in the National Archives for historians to peruse in future years, when studying the decline in public mores, but it often had the local beaks smirking knowingly- (probably thinking back to military service abroad) and the regular idlers who packed public galleries at Bow Street, Marlborough Street and West London Courts ROTFLTFAO!

Watching what do Muslims really think and it’s hard not to laugh at the surprise from most of these results.
TELEVISION
Why do we pretend that all Muslims are sweet, smiley and integrated?
Channel 4’s What British Muslims Really Think will come as no surprise to the British public, says James Delingpole
James Delingpole
What British Muslims Really Think with Trevor Phillips
‘Our findings will shock many people,’ promised Trevor Phillips at the beginning of What British Muslims Really Think (Channel 4, Wednesday).
But the depressing thing is that I doubt they will, actually. I think the general British public have known for some time what Phillips’s documentary professed to find surprising: that large numbers of Muslims don’t want to integrate, that their views aren’t remotely enlightened, and that more than a few of them sympathise with terrorism. It’s only the establishment elite that has ever pretended otherwise.
As former head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Phillips was very much part of that elite. He commissioned the 1997 Runnymede report that popularised the word ‘Islamophobia’. The fact that so impeccably liberal a figure is now issuing a mea culpa like this speaks volumes about how dire the situation has grown. ‘Everyone who has pinned their hopes on the rise of reforming and liberal British Muslim voices are in for a disappointment,’ said Phillips. ‘These voices are nowhere near as numerous as they need to be to make an impact.’
Here are the stats to prove it: 52 per cent of Britain’s three million Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal; 39 per cent think a woman should always obey her husband; 18 per cent sympathise with people who take part in violence against those who mock the Prophet; 4 per cent — that equates to about 100,000 Muslims — have ‘sympathy for people who take part in suicide bombing to fight injustice’. Oh, and if any of them knew someone was involved in supporting terrorism in Syria, just one in three would report it to the police. The other two million, then, would keep schtum.
Normally the PC response to these surveys is to shoot the messenger, as the BBC and the Guardian and the usual dhimmi apologists did last year, when the Sun revealed that one in four British Muslims sympathised with the motives of the Charlie Hebdo killers. They’ll find it harder this time, not just because Phillips is black and probably reads the Guardian, but also because the survey was so thorough. It was conducted, face to face, by people of the same religion. And when it came to the really tricky question — the one about terrorism — a blank envelope was provided for the answer, so that respondents felt freer to say what they really thought.
There wasn’t much to disagree with in this brave and honest programme, except for the odd momentary lapse, as when Phillips said, of Islamophobia, ‘I’ve no doubt that most of it emanates from sheer blind prejudice.’ I doubt even he believes that excuse any more. It was just a legacy of the kind of language all public figures were pretty much forced to use about the Religion of Peace till quite recently — Cameron showing the way with that disingenuous speech about ‘moderate and reforming voices who speak for the vast majority of Muslims’.
Of course we’d all like to believe that stuff, but the truth just doesn’t accord with the fantasy. Take those 85 Sharia councils currently violating one of the most basic principles of English justice — equality before the law. Yes, we can cosily delude ourselves that they just deal with civil issues — marriage mainly — that can safely be regulated by religion. But can they? A Zurich professor called Elham Manea, herself a Muslim, had attended these courts and found them promoting a version of Islam as extreme as that practised in her native Yemen or by the Taliban, where women were treated as ‘minors in perpetual need of male guardianship’. How exactly does that accord with the legislation and practice of a country where men and women are supposed to have guaranteed equality?
Our solution up until now has been a kind of national cognitive dissonance — one where we all agree to pretend that Muslims are sweet, smiley and integrated, like lovely Nadiya from Great British Bake Off and that her fellow Lutonians — the 7/7 suicide bombers — have, as the weasel phrase has it, ‘nothing to do with Islam’.
It’s not easy, though, and getting harder — as we saw on this week’s The Island with Bear Grylls (Channel 4, Mondays). I don’t doubt the producers were overjoyed when they managed to recruit their first Muslim castaway — Bradford body-builder Rizwan Shabir. But any hopes of a male Nadiya vanished this week when he quit, pleading an inability to cope with ‘living with women who are half-naked’.
Hmm. Seems to me that even before the men encountered the women, he was struggling to integrate — or indeed pull his weight — and that persuading himself he was being a good Muslim was the perfect way of ducking out of more hardship at no cost to his ego.
I’ll leave the last word on this yawning cultural chasm to Noshaba Hussain, middle-aged former headmistress of Springfield Primary, one of the Trojan Horse schools in Birmingham. A nine-year-old pupil had asked why she wasn’t wearing a headscarf, declaring, ‘Only slags don’t cover their heads.’ ‘This attitude is not acceptable in state schools in Britain,’ observed Ms Hussain. Well indeed. As Ray Honeyford was so maligned for telling us just 32 years ago.

I can’t believe that Delingpole sat through all two hours of Trevor Phillips’ alleged ‘mea culpa’.
I forced myself – and found it replete with the customary Channel Four bullcrap. What’s the old mantra? “Lies, damned lies an then statistics!”
Apart from painting a much rosier picture than actually obtains, the programme needed an editor to strip it of padding and self-serving garbage and reduce it to the salient facts and time-frame: 30 minutes, at most.
But I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies and let’s hope it’s the thin end of the wedge.
Anyway, the damage is already done. Probably irreparable!

Thank you for that summary.
I had been considering whether to watch it on ‘Catch up’ but, the main facts having been well publicised, being unable to stand the prospect of being patronised by one of Blair’s premier Gauleiters and not possessing a Ping Pong table, I defaulted to Matt Ridley’s excellent “The Evolution of Everything”.

smile when it rained
showing gratitude to almighty what he has created,
smile at our brothers and sisters
so that it creates love and removes suspicious,
smile even at our neighbours
something our prophet emphasise with eagerness,
smile on trivial matters
escaping from jealousy and hatred,
smile at those who are in distress
pray to allah to give them happiness and success,
smile to please the most kind, the most merciful
allah will love us indeed allah will love us.

As I sit at my desk this grey morning overlooking the Weald waiting for the next downpour and reading my local favourite Vita Sackville-West, I see the leaves unfurling and draw on the words of Joyce Kilmer-
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

. . . then it should have been dispelled by the performance of Angus Robertson MP on QT last night. This Westminster leader of a national socialist party representing 0.15% of the UK population and exclusive to Scotland was permitted by the BBC to demonstrate ad nauseum to the people of Doncaster and the UK at large that he always has the answers for everything. Sanctimony and pomposity might have been his middle names as his smug, fat, piggy-eyed Sandi Toksvig lookalike face filled the TV screen and rabble-roused the audience to great acclaim from the small army of gobby and whooping left-wing party members, supporters and activists in the audience.
You might be inclined to conclude from the foregoing that I dislike this person. Well, I do. But I dislike more the fact that he is being allowed to throw his considerable weight around in England as well as the UK Parliament when there is no English parliament and no English party exclusively representing its people in that place. I object to his intrusive interference in the politics of England with so small a mandate in the scale of things.

I note Splurge-on’s weasel words:-
“Yes, I would be absolutely happy to do that as part of a bigger, wider, organised approach.”
In other words she dodges responsibility to kickstart that bigger, wider, organised approach herself by taking them in. Suddenly the making of role models and sending of messages so beloved of politicians like Splurge-on vaporises and she steps back from the brink, still sanctimonious but spare room emptiness intact.
That “bigger, wider, organised approach” ought to be the compelling all politicians, but nobody else, to take refugee families into their spare rooms, second houses, holiday homes and other vacant properties. Then there would soon be a change in attitude to immigration by those who rule over us.

Merkel was brought up and indoctrinated in a Stasi-oppressed communist regime. The idea that she is not indelibly tainted and compromised by that is incredible. This fluent Russian speaking former district board member of the East German Freie Deutsche Jugend socialist youth movement and secretary for Agitprop has no business running a Western democracy. She only gravitated to the democracy movement after the fall of the Berlin Wall and it is obvious that she saw the writing on that wall as to where her best interests lay.
Persecuting people for speaking truth to power is in her DNA but this story plays into a wider “chilling” message from the EU puppet governments to be careful what we say or write about the Elite. Merkel has more in common with Erdoğan than the countryman her Stasi are persecuting.
When the Wall came down in 1989 people saw it as the liberation of Eastern Europe. Now it appears that as the Wall collapsed and the defences came down a torrent of contaminated ideology flooded in to the West to make common purpose cause with the lurking agents of influence and chip-shouldered agitators already here. So many left wing change agents, fake charities and campaign groups came into existence after 1989 with shadowy funding. Something bad happened but the full story has not been told and now the power lies with those most determined that it never should be.

We need to be encouraging others to suggest responses to the threats: how can we protect our children, our teachers? I think that has been our frustration: we ask questions and others respond with, ‘what threat’ because they haven’t seen what is creeping up on them.

One thing comes to mind, right off the bat, and that is the fact that strong evidence exists suggesting that up to three thermonuclear devices were detonated at the World Trade Center site on 9/11, hence the nickname “Ground Zero.” ”

Feminism has become an obtuse form of virtue signalling for middle class women who have it all.
They emote, wail and bemoan the behaviour of white men and have absolutely nothing to say on the subject of Muslim men and their behaviour towards women .
They’re strident and brave when there is no chance of being bundled off to Pakistan or being kept as a house slave.
Feminism has gone from the self sacrificing bravery of the suffragettes to a ‘ like ‘ on an anonymous messagebord or a cosy echo chamber on Womans hour where they just self affirm over trivia, ignoring the elephant in the room.
It’s both cowardly and pathetic.

A very muddled article which attempts to undermine the observation of parallels between the Nazi concept of ‘Europa’ and the EU but instead makes them all the more apparent:-

“Hitler’s “Europe” was a profoundly hegemonic construction, with Germany at the centre of an expanding empire, with all other states within that empire subservient to Germany.”
The current EU is not hegemonic or dominated by Germany? Could have fooled me. There’s a nasty sideswipe about Britain’s role in the war too, sneering at it as “so the national narrative goes”.
As for OpenDemocracy, a butcher’s at their funding tells the story:-

Here is the author of that OpenDemocracy crap, another French Canadian and socialist no doubt. Just why is it that so many French Canadians are active in agitating for the EU and why there are so many foreign socialist activists active within the UK? They have been flocking here since 1989.

“In addition, applicable rules often fail to cover the liability of operators for the publication of hate content by bloggers or users of social media sites. The liability of bloggers and users of websites is often regulated; however these individuals are sometimes difficult to trace back, moreover it is often difficult to prove their motivation. The situation is an issue of concern given that internet remains a critical tool for the distribution of racist and hateful propaganda. To overcome the potential impunity of offenders it is recommended to regulate the liability of operators, thereby encouraging them to better control the content of blogs and social media websites. Alternatively Member States could reinforce their efforts of monitoring the content of websites. This however, should be done in a manner ensuring the sufficient respect of freedom of expression.”

“Due to the provisions’ possible clashes with constitutionally guaranteed principles and in view of the diversity of religious beliefs in Europe and of the democratic principle of the separation of state and religion, it seems necessary to reconsider the criminalisation of blasphemy/religious insult.”

That is no excuse,” returned Mr. Brownlow. “You were present on the occasion of the destruction of these trinkets, and, indeed, are the more guilty of the two, in the eye of the law; for the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.”
If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, “the law is a ass — a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience — by experience.”

Thank you for those links, the enemy grows ever stronger and a legislative tsunami will overwhelm us in due course, whether we Brexit or not, I suspect.
There is one small hope remaining; in religious chicanery. I shall consider anointing myself as Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Ark, a polytheistic sect encompassing all maritime and aviation deities and beer. You may similarly wish to promote the sanctification of, say, mustard pots.
After all, both credos would have the same level of veracity as mohammedism and need have less deadly consequences for deniers and apostates.
“…The current study, developed on the basis of information gathered through eight national studies (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Poland) revealed that offence provisions applicable to blasphemy/religious insult often overlap with hate speech provisions, thereby calling into question the necessity to separately regulate blasphemy/religious insult. The study concludes that Member States should assess whether the need to protect public order by protecting individuals and groups belonging to minority religions could actually be better satisfied by reinforcing or duly implementing the existing national legislation on hate speech.

The main reason everyone here is so keen on Czechia is the shortness of the word, the Czech Republic’s too long for them, it doesn’t roll off the tongue easily, that’s the main reasoning against the Czech Republic or the Czechland.

Saudi Arabia is famously hospitable to the Hadjis, those moslems making the pilgrimage to Mecca from places and from even less civilised than there.
On one occasion the Saudia Air jet I was travelling on from Riyadh to Jeddah and was treated to the spectacle of several assorted Hadjis, in their white ihrams, producing a lighting a camping gaz stove in the passenger aisle on which to make chai. After several minutes protests they were persuaded by the panicked steward and some other passengers, myself included, to desist.
Expect similar adventures as a newly re-enriched Europe embraces its new population.
Correction, the Saudi rebels were Salafists.

In 2007 there were estimated to be about 17,000 ex-Stasi officials working for the German government. More than 100 ex-Stasi are now employed in the police force of the eastern state of Brandenburg where the weekend home of Merkel in Uckermark is located. There have been reports that her residence is guarded by police who are ex-Stasi including one from Abteilung III the telephone surveillance unit.
Google ‘Rosenholz’ but be prepared for a long trawl. The CIA were supposed to release the ‘files’ of 50,000 Stasi ‘people of interest’ which supposedly included agents of influence and 121 non-German nationals. Instead they handed them over to the German government and they are now held in a ‘public’ archive to which the public usually get refused access. Since then ‘Rosenholz’ has been steadily downplayed as a simple card index, a right wing conspiracy theory, an exaggeration, a myth, etc., in precisely the usual way the leftist establishments undermine any threat to them. And what happened to this:-
http://cordis.europa.eu/news/rcn/27670_en.html
It’s all gone very quiet on the Stasi. I spent some time exploring the subject but strange things began to happen when I tried to access certain articles about it. Websites froze, active cookies began slowing down my computer, scrolling stopped working. I began going through the cookies carefully and there were some very odd results connected to “charity” sites and think tanks in the UK.
Apparently ex-Stasi can’t be prosecuted in Germany because of employment legislation which seems strange given the eager prosecution of geriatric SS clerks. But then I suppose the current German regime does not view the Stasi in the same light.
Everything is being orchestrated to give us a government by 2020 which will pursue Corbyn’s aspiration for a “Socialist Union” in Europe. The term now being used is chilling. It will be communist in all but name. All is coming to pass as Bukovsky predicted.
http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/865
Just as a postscript to that. There were stories around 2004-5 of ex-Stasi working as bureaucrats in the EU Commission. It was then reported with outrage and investigations were promised. Merkel became German chancellor in 2006. Those stories are now impossible to find.
Merkel claimed that in the Freie Deutsche Jugend (FJD) Socialist Youth Movement she was only secretary for culture. When her former FDJ district chairman contradicted her she asserted that to her memory she had been secretary for culture but then said: “But what do I know? I believe I won’t know anything when I’m 80.” Merkel’s progress in the compulsory Marxism–Leninism course was graded genügend (sufficient – passing grade) in 1983 and 1986. Then suddenly, in 1989, she became interested in the democratic movement.
She rose in government after that partly as a result of scandals toppling politicians who stood in her way.
Merkel’s handling of the immigration crisis was astonishing. Almost textbook Frankfurt school. The Wiki entry on Gramsci and the Frankfurt school now downplays it and frames ‘cultural marxism’ as a right-wing conspiracy theory. Wiki has been well and truly nobbled by socialists.

Having watched the shocking link at 16:51 yesterday, posted by Noa, to the intimidation by moslem thugs of people talking on a street corner in Burnley, I think that tarring and feathering of our government may be the least of what’s required.
From that link however, seen in the context of Mark Steyn’s piece linked by Frank P at 15:52, we see that the function of political correctness is to prevent the discussion of real solutions to a real problem, even as government pursues measures to increase the size of the problem to the point that real discussion of it has no chance to bring about a solution while the problem disappears as those seeking a solution themselves become the problem.
Gentlemen, our government has led us to a position where we are about to be a problem to be solved by moslems…
What is to be done?

Good morning! For those who’ve been following it, there’s a first hand account of Tommy Robinson’s court proceedings at http://www.gatesofvienna.net
It’s the third article down after the News Feed and the Robert Spencer clip and includes some interesting comments about the magistrate’s court system.
Colonel Mustard This week’s CHW on Merkel.
All true beautifully put. Over the years, my own rather inarticulate attempts to convey misgivings about Merkel, and also the German Green Party, to friends and relation living in Germany have fallen on “deaf ears.” It’s all coming true now!
On June 23rd vote OUT
Your point about Wiki is well founded. It should be regarded with the same suspicion as the output of BBC, Pravda, Isvestia, Al Jazeera, RT … etc.

Let’s have some last “last laughs” with Mark, while we still can…….

Thanks for the link.
Btw, Robert Spencer (and Pamela Geller) are (as is the American talk show host, Michael Savage) BANNED from entering the United Kingdom by the Home Secretary. Shame! Shame!

Noa – 11:20
My eye caught this:
“Well, last week the Ukrainian premier resigned, mainly because of his utter failure to tackle the real corruption (vicious and viral, affecting every corner of life) in which that country is neck-deep.”
No wonder the the EU Elite want to get involved.
From Damaris Tighe’s link on the Tommy Robinson hearing @ 10:07 and the authorities’ review of whether to prosecute him:
“…Furthermore it came out that at the time this ‘assault’ was investigated by the prison authorities and a decision not to take the matter any further — fear of their own complicity in this State-sponsored campaign to rid itself of this turbulent peasant, probably. Also it was revealed that after his release this incident was again investigated by other authorities, and it was again decided not to prosecute — possibly for the same reasons. Only later, when he appeared as a co-leader of the British branch of PEGIDA, was this current scurrilous prosecution launched….”
The parties making the decision to prosecute should be identified, the reasons for the decision and the surrounding circumstances investigated, and if a criminal conspiracy were to be uncovered, the parties should be punished including any politician involved, particularly if of Cabinet rank.
MORE FROM TOMMY ROBINSON ON GATES OF VIENNA
“Yesterday evening, after the court case against him was dismissed, Tommy Robinson was interviewed at length by Trinity Channel, an American Christian broadcaster. The topic was “The Islamization of the United Kingdom”.
Now that Tommy’s legal entanglements are over (for the moment), he is able to speak out freely about the persecution he has suffered at the hands of the British state. In this excerpt there are details about what happened to him that I hadn’t heard before.”

If any Wallsters missed Bret Baier’s “Rising Threats Shrinking Military” documentary it’s now available on You Tube. Just type in the title and click into the link.
It is the most damning indictment of a serving POTUS since Nixon or Bill Clinton. In comparison their impeachment evidence involved mere peccadillos.
As we augured, from the moment Obama emerged as a presidential candidate, his mission as a front man for the unholy alliance of Alinski-ite communism and Islamic jihad was to destroy the American hegemony and the Western Alliance. He has succeeded and denuded the West of its military and commercial supremacy.
Our own politicians have slavishly followed his lead. We are deeply in economic imbalance to most of our most dangerous enemies.
The traitor has the effrontery to plan a trip to the UK to advise us that it is ‘in our interests’ to stay within the EUSSR.
Unfortunately I am too old and too frail to organise a lynching mob to deal with the Commie/Muslim bastard when he arrives.
Btw. Fox News are only ten years too late with their exposé. I wonder whether the old adage ‘better late than never’ would be far too kind in this case? We had the story on Melanie Phillips’ original blog (before her Spectator platform) from about 2004 and ran it concurrently on the Daily Ablution blog.
And still at least 50% of hoi polloi in the States still don’t get it. Dumb bastards!

I know I’m preaching to the choir. But if any of this is allowed to exist in any form in years to come (which I doubt – as moves are being made for the Unholy Alliance to take control of the intertubes), I want my grandkids and theirs to know that the handful of renegades here, in our dotage, tried. ☺

Tommy F*cking Robinson
Tommy Robinson,
what a ‘pure’ knob:
Racism fisted-him;
a nice hard cock.
ENL suffered,
Pegida’s scream,
his last-vote’s-breath:
A shallow-beached dream.
I sat with a gay man,
And argued politic,
But his defense,
was pure cock-lick.
There is little hope,
For any one vote,
If none of us manage,
To embrace last-hopes.
My decision is minimal,
With where I live,
But my vote is the one thing,
I can ever re-give.
IANWW! 🙂
