PRINCE CHARLES IN SWORDIE ARABIA
All together in the Dervish Dance!
Looking at these photos of the heir to the
British throne doing his little, very definitely men only Dervish Dance, sword
in hand and all dolled up to the nines in Swordie Arabia it just makes you
wonder! Clearly everyone’s enjoying themselves but then you’ve just got to ask,
was the sword that Charles was waving around purely ceremonial or had it been
previously used for chopping someone’s hand or arm off for stealing a bottle of
water or nicking a loaf of bread as is the customary punishment there under
Islamic Sharia Law. I mean, did he ask
himself that question or was he given to understand that the thing he was
holding was kosher. Maybe it doesn’t matter. Clearly the good Prince himself
looks to be in his element. Or was he? Did he ever think for a moment that he just
might look plain ridiculous. There seems to be a certain small indication to
that effect on his face but then he just decides to do his best to get into the
swing of it all because basically that’s what he’s there for! Sent there on the
approval of David Cameron to give the Royal seal of approval to a major arms
deal with the Swordie Government to supply billions of pounds worth of modern
Euro-jet fighters. The deal announced at just about same time as he was doing
his twirl.
This charming little dance, featuring most
of the members of the very extended Swordie Royal Family, is as undoubtedly
traditional as British arms deals with these dervishes so sending Charles to
participate in the ceremonial joy was simply an extension of mutual blessings.
Yes, he was certainly doing his bit for Britain only how much I wonder did this
fundamentally kind hearted, good and inwardly very private man actually
appreciate the bitter irony of it all. That someone with his basic democratic
instincts should be publically participating in jollities with people who still
believe in stoning women for adultery and think that the basic purpose of most
of their female subjects is for little more than breeding, added to which is
their unshakeable certainly that their rule in Swordie Arabia is absolute. Yet
he’s sent there as an intelligent man, Royalty to Royalty, to be the glitzy end
of a trade deal! I mean, where does this put him as a human being, or does he
only exist as a creature of ceremony. Someone to be taken out of his Palatial
Box on occasion for political use.
Has anyone told you what they say in the
Mafia? That you pay the price for the
life you choose, so just how far do you go? You’ve been seen monkeying
around with a bunch of fat overfed scoundrels who don’t give a shit about their
own populace? The curved sword is the national symbol of their rule and these
swords chop people’s heads off, so do you actually think it’s a good idea to go
waving them around with people like these?
TONY,
REBECCA, JAMES AND RUPERT
So now it’s all starting to come out. Such
tough luck for Tony Blair. His good friend Rebekah Brooks telling the Court
during her Old Bailey trial how six days before she was arrested by the police,
Tony had contacted her to offer his services in the capacity of unofficial
adviser in respect of the legal difficulties she faced, all on behalf of their
good mutual friend James Murdoch. Rebekah as Chief Executive of News
International was alleged to have been implicated in the phone hacking scandal
engulfing the News of the World. Oh dear! Made public at last! This was the
first revelation of the former New Labour Prime Minister’s intervention in the
great media scandal. What an enormous surprise! Tony Blair, Rebekah Brooks and
James Murdoch! All very good friends and a toxic combination if ever there was
one. Very much like another mutual friendship between Rebekah Brooks, James and
a later Prime Minister David Cameron! Two British Prime Ministers and two top
newspaper executives, Rebekah herself facing court action for seriously illegal
behaviour. Talk about a media circus macabre, you couldn’t have made up a story
like that up if you’d tried. Media Executives and prime ministers, with phone
hacking stinking the mixture. Quite frankly all you needed was the bloody
Titanic!
Rebekah emails James to tell him about what
Tony said on the phone and how he solicitous he was… pardon the pun!
“Keep
strong and definitely sleeping pills. Need to have clear heads and remember no
rash short term solutions as they only give you long term headaches…
It
will pass. Tough up.
He is
available for you, KRM (Rupert Murdoch) and me as an unofficial adviser but
needs to be between us. He is sending more notes later.”
And why not? Their good mutual friend was
media magnate Rupert Murdoch, father of James and one of Margaret Thatcher’s
closest political allies throughout her career. A man Tony Blair purposefully
sought out to help him win the General Election of 1997.
In response to these revelations Blair’s
office maintains he was, “simply giving informal advice over the phone.” However
the photograph of Tony and Rebekah together, published in the Times of Thursday
February 20th and the expression on Tony’s face says it all. His fawning
admiration best describes the sickening scene with Rebekah holding a drink at
a party. Yes, they were the best of times! A Labour Prime Minister and the
Chief Executive of a newspaper group belonging to one of the most reactionary
media tycoons of modern times and inveterate enemy of the whole labour
movement. While Tony Blair was definitely no friend at all to British working
people, Rupert Murdoch and his newspapers regarded them with contempt and it’s hard
to separate out which of the two is more disgusting.
Key here though is the serious matter of
this former Labour Prime Minister, knowing that Rebekah Brooks was implicated
in the criminal matter of a phone hacking scandal, phoning to offer her his
advice along with the services of Ken Macdonald QC, “a great and good type,”
and former director of Public Prosecutions. Revealing is hardly the word for
this kind of thing. In short, isn’t it just so nice to know who your friends
are?
For more years than most people can
remember, BBC Television has served as an active agent on behalf of British
Governments for disseminating reactionary news stories and fomenting
reactionary politics round the globe. In recent times, throughout the territories
of the former Soviet Union. Earlier, in the late forties and fifties it supported
former Nazi activists in the Baltic States campaigning for national separatism.
Today it supports right wing extremists and those who are openly fascist
conducting a brutal campaign of violence against the democratically elected
President of the Ukraine whose political party has an overwhelming majority in
the Ukrainian Parliament. To those presently observing the conduct of the BBC
it’s more than clear that it has adopted a politically activist role in the
Ukraine rather simply conducting itself as a news reporting service,
essentially its public remit.
The British general public, who are
required by law to pay the BBC for a Television License, should not be funding
this organisation as a political campaigning group on behalf of the British
Government to promote and disseminate the political views and activities of extremists
and fascists but in recent weeks it is clearly the case that this is the work
it’s been doing. Destabilizing the democratically elected Government of that
country on behalf of the governments of Britain and the United States along with
that of the European Union! Lending support to right wing extremists with a
very definite political agenda.
However that’s only the surface agenda!
There’s something far deeper going on here. At the end of the twentieth
century, the Crimean Peninsula, formerly a province of the Soviet Union, was
handed over to the Ukraine by the Russian Federation. The importance of this
territory cannot be overestimated. Positioned at the southern tip of Ukrainian
territory it borders the Black Sea and has for many years been home port to the
Russian Black Sea Fleet as a main naval base. The current President of the
Ukraine and largest political party in the Ukrainian Parliament is pro-Russian,
reflecting the demographic and economic division of the country into its small
pro-Western side facing Poland and major eastern portion facing Russia with the
vast majority of its overall population in the east. If the reactionary
proto-fascists in Kiev campaigning to overthrow the Ukraine’s legitimate
pro-Russian Government with the help of Britain and the United States gain
power, one of their first acts will be to take control of and close the Russian
Naval Base in the Crimea, naturally on behalf of Britain who, let it not be
forgotten, fought a Crimean War there against Russia in the 1850’s and of
course, for the United States.
This is precisely what the current
Ukrainian Crisis is all about. The British and Americans want to force the
Russian Navy out of the Black Sea and put their own military bases close to
southern Russia. And this precisely is what the BBC is conducting its propaganda
campaign for.
DOING ITS BEST TO DECEIVE BRITISH PEOPLE WHO PAY THEM FOR
A TELEVISION LICENCE WITH LIES IN FURTHERANCE OF A SERIOUSLY DIRTY POLITICAL AGENDA
Yes, if you’re a Ukrainian fascist it’s
good to have friends like BBC Television.
Well I have to say… Isn’t it so nice to
know… That with one poxy gold medal, one silver and two miserable bronzes,
listening to the BBC television team stationed in Sochi led by burly mistress
of ceremonies Claire Balding, you’d think that with all their triumphalist
bullshit about the successes of the British team, that Britain’s made hay with
the whole Winter Olympics Festival of Sport let alone the medals table! Yes,
the British Team has achieved its best ever result, winning just about jack
over the last couple of weeks. Never mind that it’s placed 19th out
of the twenty-six competing nations, ten places behind Belarus with its five
gold medals, and never mind that Belarus is a land-locked territory with a
population close to 11 million without any snow or ice! No, according to the
BBC television jockeys, making excuses time after time for all the abysmal
British failures and hyping to heaven the less than a handful of British
success, the whole British team were quite simply fabulous!
Tell me, am I missing something here? True,
British sporting agencies traditionally give close to nothing to support
British Winter Olympic teams and their sportsmen and women. True, Wayne Rooney
will shortly earn three hundred thousand quid a week for ninety minutes’ work
on a football field, the kind of weekly earning that would support TEN OLYMPIC COMPETITORS FOR A WHOLE YEAR’S
TRAINING. That’s one week’s pay for a footballer to finance ten British
Olympic hopefuls to train in their sport! Now just consider this and reflect on
where people’s priorities are. Actually it’s almost obscene.
It’s not a lack of ability or talent that
young British hopefuls suffer from, nor is it simply a lack of facilities or
tradition in their various sports that makes them unable to compete or
challenge the best. In this country it’s simply a matter of priorities. The
public simply don’t care about the sporting interests of most of our youth
outside of football. Traditionally their sporting interests are team centered. Tribalised
mainly in football, less so in rugby and cricket, in all of which let it be
said, England does poorly at best on the international stage! Apart from these
just about everything else is way down the list and right at the bottom is the
challenge of winter sport for which most British people don’t give a monkeys!
There’s nothing wrong with our youth.
They’re not simply incapable. It’s just that there’s no real political
encouragement with finance or enthusiasm. Those who ought to know better and
help provide financial support through political channels simply don’t care,
yet it’s these very same people who put themselves about to bask in the glory
of British gold medal success whenever it comes, like parasites sucking up the triumph
of youth in someone else’s sunlight.
For footballers like Wayne Rooney,
everything. For the hundreds of thousands of British sporting youth, nothing. Isn’t
it simply a reflection of the wider British society. For a few dozen bankers,
everything. For all our hardworking nurses, teachers, firemen, policemen,
ambulance men and paramedics, social carers and workers, little to nothing. So
for our British Winter Olympic Team in Sochi, for the few who’ve been competing,
there must be thousands of our youth who wished they were there doing the same
but can’t because back home there’s simply no framework around to back them up.
At nine, ten or eleven when they might in theory begin, there’s no structure there
to encourage. At twelve to fourteen, nothing there likewise so in the end they
wind up watching people from other countries ski-jumping or snowboarding on
television with the BBC mouthing off its phony patriotic deception and the
steely-eyed Claire Balding mechanically drumming up a shabby enthusiasm.
Yes, enthusiasm’s the thing. Let’s get all
worked up and enthusiastic about one of our people getting into the quarter
finals before crashing out and excuse it all by saying he had an injury five
years ago that affected his performance or that some book he’d been reading about
angels and fairies had affected him! But as it’s the BBC we’ll make it okay if
we keep slipping in something nasty about the Russians! Just remember if you
will, David Cameron and the British Government boycotted these Games same as
Obama and his crew. All of it supposedly on behalf of the gay community, a
marvellous joke if ever there was one! No, truth was that both these boys were
busy making plans for the Ukraine and quite frankly David Cameron doesn’t give
a shit about the British performance at the Winter Olympics.
As for the viewing public there must be
many who feel genuinely ashamed of the BBC endlessly hyping up every crumb of
British success while endlessly making excuses for failure. With the pathetic haul
of medals the British Team had to show it was simply no good saying over and
over that it was the best Britain had ever done when in absolute terms it was
RUBBISH. In fact bordering on shameful. That was the real truth of it, a truth
that couldn’t be said. For one of the world’s major industrial nations where
football is a multi-billion pound industry the fact that little to no money is
put into dozens or more winter sports is
shameful. But then I suppose it’s what millions of working men want. To watch hundreds
of pathetic semi-skilled men kick a ball round once a week then go to the pub,
get drunk, come home and eat pie and chips while their wives and children suck
up the meat fat and sugar-drinks. That’s today’s Britain. Boozed up, fat and
uncouth, a nation of people without any pride let alone beauty or grace.
And the news? A few days ago a young
Russian girl of 17 won the Winter Olympics Ladies Figure Skating Championship
with a performance straight out of heaven. Quite wonderful to watch, bringing
back memories of Torvill and Dean.
AND
THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS?
It would surely be very remiss of me to end
this Post about having good friends to omit mentioning two very Good Friends of
the Liberal Democrats who having donated money to the worthy cause have just been arrested by the Serious Fraud Squad! Oh
dear, they were so generous, giving the Lib-Dems a million and a half quid
before going down the plug hole for dirty dealing. Paying bribes it is said.
But never mind, the two very worthy Asian gentlemen may find solace in knowing that
the political party of their choice and its leaders, facing certain death in coming
elections, are willing to find new friends in Labour! In fact, their leader the
good Nick Clegg has already begun putting out feelers.
Wait a minute though. I somehow forget to
tell you about the card I recently saw in a shop window. The one with bright
yellow borders!
