TARTS ON THE TWIRL : THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY CONFERENCE

If there’s anything that’s come out of the Lib-Dem Party Conference it’s this. whether it’s for by-elections or next year’s upcoming General Election in May, they’ll say or do anything for your vote. Promise you just about anything either on television or on the doorstep. Yes there’s nothing they won’t do, no promises they won’t make, no lies they won’t tell just so you can think, oh they’re really going to do all this for us. Well what really nice people they are.

Well they’ve actually been doing it for years. Making all those promises! That’s why they’ve got 60 MPs! Because so many people believed everything they said. Funny though… how they went into Coalition with people they keep on calling THE NASTY PARTY! That’s what the Lib-Dem leadership kept on calling the Tories at their annual conference this year in Glasgow and it’s no use you keep on asking why, if they think the Tories are so nasty, why they so quickly pulled off their knickers four years ago and jumped into bed with a gang of dirty old men without so much as a blush. But then we all know why don’t we? They did it because they could ameliorate all those dirty Tory intentions and the message they’ve kept on putting out is how they actually stopped them being really nasty! Why, if it wasn’t for us they’d have stuffed the economy and the National Health Service and given everyone the pox. It’s because of the Liberal Democrats that they were a bit less dirty than they were!

Well quite frankly if you believe that then you’ll believe anything. Over the last four years or more Nick Clegg and his 60 MPs have gone along with just about every attack the Tories made on the Welfare State and voted for every cut they made to the welfare benefits paid to the poorest and most needy members of our society. It’s a damnable lie to keep on putting it across how much they did to stop these Tory attacks or make them less swingeing. Indeed it’s quite fair to say that without Liberal Democrat support the Tories would never have been able to make their attack on the Welfare State in the manner they did yet these entirely opportunistic political pimps effortlessly and without any conscience keep on putting out the same bullshit. Yes, without us Britain would be a far worse place than it is!

Now tell me Mr Clegg, and that crazy looking Scarecrow you wheeled out of the mop cupboard he seems to have been in for such a long time, are you actually having a laugh? Exactly who do you think the British people are so you can keep wheeling out this shit every time there’s a Lib Dem Party Conference and there you are up on the stump with your begging bowl for our votes. Only this time, your last Party Conference before a General Election, you’ve been pumping it out more than ever! How you and your lovely Lib Dems had to make the moral sacrifice and turn yourselves into a pack of Jesuses so you could save us all from the nasty party! How you jumped into bed with them because you love us all so much! And that NO, it wasn’t for all the juicy ministerial salaries you were getting or the ministerial cars and all the rest of the perks that went with office. No, it was because you love us all so much and thought you could do good! That it was all done for OUR benefit, nothing else.

Please, pull the other one, it’s got bells on it. The perfect example of your real behaviour is the conduct of Ed Davy, Liberal Democrat Secretary of State for Energy setting up an Energy Suppliers Cartel right at the heart of his Department. Since his time in Coalition Government the British people have seen their Energy Bills rocket. So why don’t you tell people whose vote you’re after Nick Clegg, who was actually responsible for this? Was it the Tories or was it your Liberal Democrat Secretary of State for Energy who seems to have kept so quiet at the Party Conference this year, his major contribution being about all the wonderful things he was planning to do about helping you insulate your loft! Indeed, Mr Energy had little to say for himself and it wasn’t for nothing that he was kept well in his box throughout Conference. Instead you let the Scarecrow out to give us a twirl and tell us all just how nasty all the Tories were. It’s the first anyone’s heard of him for ages, and out he pops, like a cat on a hot tin roof, promising to make sure that apprentices will be paid more if his Party forms part of the next Government.

Well that’s about it really. Promises and more promises if the Lib-Dems are part of the next Government after the General Election in 2015! But then we all know what Lib Dems do with promises don’t we! Anyway, promises are cheap. Opportunists like the Liberal Democrats know they can promise the moon because there’s no obligation to keep them. They’re the real tarts of British politics. They can get into bed with whoever promises them the most. That begs the question, the most what? Well you already know that political opportunists are likely to say… stuff that actually means nothing like getting the country back on its feet again! Well if it’s the Tories it would mean recapitalizing the banks - after they blew everyone’s money on rotten investments and rewarded themselves with huge executive bonuses for doing the job – with more public money obtained from slashing public services, slashing welfare benefits, slashing the National Health Service. That’s the way of the dirty old thieves they’re currently in bed with.

Okay then, what happens next year if Labour have the most seats but not enough to form a Government? Right, they do what’s best for the country, YES IT’S ALWAYS THE COUNTRY, they get into bed with the Milipede. Well what does that mean? It’s no problem really. Since any Labour Government from the time of Harold Wilson has always spent its first three years in office carrying out Tory policies, to get the country back on its feet… is the well-known mantra used, the Lib Dems will have no trouble with that either. That’s because one way or another all the political parties do what’s best for the country which means carrying out Tory policies with working people getting a crust at the end, if they’re lucky that is! Alas however. It didn’t happen under Blair and his sidekick Dark Gordon. For the first five years they carried out Tory policies then Gordon stuffed everything up by giving banking executives carte blanche to help themselves with public money so at the end working people got nothing. That was the so called New Labour Party. Then in came the Tories and had to clean up the New Labour Mess which meant making the poorest people in our society pay! In short, it doesn’t matter to Liberal Democrat political opportunists just who they get between the sheets with just so long as they’re there.

Labour however would be fine. Recent Labour Governments had a well-established record of uncontrolled mass immigration and this well fits official Liberal Democrat policy as they too believe in what they call the virtues of mass immigration into Britain. Coalition Government by Labour and the Lib Dems next year would undoubtedly see a major new influx of immigrants with all its potentially terrorist friendly consequences. The Liberal Democrats, as the Scarecrow said in his Conference speech, believe that mass immigration into Britain brings benefits. What these are exactly is debatable, unless you believe in the value of cheap labor.  

So with their pre-General Election Conference twirl over and Nick Clegg and his delightful colleagues promising the British people just about everything, and the beloved leader telling them all to hold their heads high over all the morally worthy stuff they’ve done in Coalition Government, the important question to ask is how have the British people reacted? Well in the two by-elections on Thursday they’ve just had the chance to say what they think!

Oh dear! So very sad! After hearing about all the noble Liberal Democrat deeds in Coalition over the last four years repeated time and again at the Conference, and all those wonderful promises of such a rosy future for everyone if they got another chance next May, voters in Clacton and Manchester gave their opinion. At Clacton they got three hundred and fifty votes and fifth place behind the Greens. In Manchester they got 1457 votes and fourth place. In both seats they were completely wiped out by UKIP.

What this says is simple enough. You don’t need to be a magician to understand that no-one trusts you anymore or believes in your promises, or thinks you’ve done anything beneficial for them while you’ve been in Coalition Government. What they do think however is that basically you’re just a gang of opportunistic rascals. In other words you’ve done nothing for anyone except yourselves and everyone’s now washing their hands of you and getting the smell off. You are a doomed political party on a fast track course oblivion and that no smiles on your faces, no endless giving yourselves high-fives for being good guys and absolutely no nothing can put you back together again. You’ve been sussed for being a bunch of lying tossers and the British people have done with you. They don’t want any more of your pleas for the benefits of mass immigration and what appears to be your terrorist friendly profile. They want you out and after next May you’ll be down to a small handful of wimps in Parliament and nobody will want you anymore.

Coalition Government? You can kiss it! So goodbye Nick Clegg, it’s off to the House of Lords for you and some job with an Energy Company for Ed Davey. And it’s back to the broom cupboard for the Scarecrow where he can carry on doing what he does best which is scaring the shit out of the mops in the bucket.

AND A FINAL WORD ABOUT WHY THE BRITISH PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO NIGEL FARAGE

Yesterday afternoon my wife was in London giving a consultation and walking down Tottenham Court Road came across a paste table outside Curry’s containing inflammatory Islamic literature manned by youths and adults dressed in Islamic garb all of whom were vociferously shouting JIHAD… JIHAD… JIHAD… at people passing by while rattling collection tins at them. Typically, there were no police to be seen.

Presumably their activity on behalf of their fellow Islamic State murdering terrorist Jihadists or terrorist Jihadi friends of Gaza’s Hamas had the support of the police or else one wonders how would they be allowed to be there? While it may be understandable that such activity would have the support of Liberal Democrats and certainly the Labour Party who allowed such happenings to occur on a regular basis throughout the time of Tony Blair’s Government, it is very much less understandable how such highly provocative and intimidating behaviour in public is permitted by Tory Home Secretary Teresa May.

Against a background of British nationals being publically beheaded by Islamist Jihadists, the British public is tired of such filth. David Cameron and Teresa May please take note. And I suggest you take note that the only political party that won’t tolerate this kind of thing is UKIP and its leader Nigel Farage, and if all three of you are now running scared it’s because of the kind of thing you allow to happen on the streets of our cities. The British people have had enough of it all!

IN PRAISE OF DICKHEADS

To the more sombre of my fellow citizens, you know the kind, moralizing politicians who’ve been fiddling their expenses, or the majority of people who live in the center of Bath who’ve got their heads so far up their arses that they can’t be pulled down again, or come to think of it just about everyone in Yorkshire, yes and all those BBC national treasures like Stephen Fry and Brian Cox always showing everyone how nice they are and how much they know about everything… to all these so very propriety people the phrase dickhead is almost certainly likely to cause offence. Perhaps it’s because it describes them so perfectly and in their heart of hearts, underneath all the image presentation shit which they’re so good at doing, they know it! Know that they’re dickheads, particularly in the minds of young people who perhaps not so deluded as they once were can take a cool razor sharp cynical edge that instantly cuts through the crap and perceives things how they really are. That underneath all the Mister Nice Guy stuff they put over to try and convince you that hey we’re just like you really, honest we are, the real truth is different and that they’re actually plain unvarnished dickheads.

Okay, let’s take the recent exploit of Brooks Newmark, a Minister of the Crown no less who openly and without any hesitation showed his cock and balls over the Internet to someone he thought was a Swedish model without even considering for a moment what he was doing or even thinking to check her identity. Well it just makes you wonder. What kind of a dickhead is that? Well Brooks Newmark may sound like a propriety brand of men’s underwear you can buy in any of the big retail outlets only he isn’t. He was a man specially chosen by the British Prime Minister for his political ability, tact and wisdom to be a Minister in his Government. Nice choice Mr Cameron! In which case one should ask, who actually is the real dickhead in this matter? Is it Brooks Newmark, Minister of the Crown, for committing the serious criminal offence of publically flashing his dick for the whole world to see or is it the Tory Prime Minister who specially chose him to represent Government policy to the British people? Or are they both just a pair of dickheads together?

Dickhead? David Cameron? How dare you sir? I can hear the whole silver-haired gang of Tory MPs or Tory Party Conference blue rinses bristling with outrage and high dudgeon at any slur intended or not against their beloved leader but it must not be forgotten that this so called gentleman came close to permanently giving away a large part of the United Kingdom to just 12% of its population without asking the rest of us, that’s you and me, the other 88%, what they thought of it. In other words, actually destroying this country as we all know it! Indeed, without asking the great majority of democratically elected MPs in the British Parliament what they thought of it! Now quite frankly, is that the action of a dickhead or isn’t it?

Actually the Brooks Newmark affair is just a case of two dickheads singing from the same hymn sheet, only has anyone heard so much as a word from the other two leaders of the main political parties about David Cameron’s judgement? Not a peep! Perhaps it’s because they too are seriously deficient when it comes to making serious political judgements. Let’s take the case of the saintly Ed Miliband. Well who was it Ed who allowed Gordon Brown, you know, Dark Gordon, former Labour Prime Minister and possibly the greatest dickhead in modern political history to dictate Labour Party policy over Scottish Independence, make promises all over the place supposedly on behalf of Labour and just about everyone else when this grossly discredited lummox who came so close to bankrupting Britain by turning the nation’s finances over to a gang of criminally cheating bankers. Yes you, dickhead Ed, handed over Labour Party policy in this matter to a man who was literally allowed to say and promise anything he liked! And furthermore, didn’t need to keep any of the promises he made because he’s a totally discredited backbench nothing at Westminster, and you allowed this dark, glowering, mumbling no-one to say anything he fancied!

So tell me Ed Milipede, was allowing this totally discredited dickhead to completely take over the Labour Party agenda on Scotland and say anything he liked without consulting the British people what you might call democracy?

On another dickhead digression altogether, why is it that whenever I catch a glimpse of David Cameron’s Secretary of State for Community Affairs Eric Pickles I see a kind of cross between Cyril Smith and Heinrich Himmler. There’s something about those narrow sinister eyes in that fat chubby face and his droning on in that flat Yorkshire peasant accent which of course Himmler never had. But then his tone is actually lyrical compared to the fearful rasp of Yorkshire Amoeba William Hague, once Margaret Thatcher’s favourite schoolboy and Party Conference sweetie. His hectoring just about everyone in his Yorkshire cheese grater along with his sharp, main chance capacity to pose with celebrities out on do-gooding occasions has made him a political dickhead for all seasons. Alas he recently disappeared overnight from the Government’s third most senior job. One minute he and his venomous close comrade in arms Bomber Kerry were threatening Russian President Putin with just about everything. The next he was down in the shit pit as Leader of the Commons. Perhaps he was just too hostile towards Israel in the recent Gaza conflict. It wouldn’t be the first time he couldn’t keep his mouth shut in that direction, allowing his Arabist Foreign Office prejudices to get the better of him.

Even so, as a dickhead he was nothing compared to national treasures such as Stephen Fry, Brian Cox and Jamie Oliver. People who know everything there is to know about everything from art, science and culture, atoms, the stars and the Universe, and what we and our children should or should not eat and why. The endlessly televised wisdom of these great fountains of knowledge, initially interesting, has now swung full circle. The public has now had enough of them and its patience at having them endlessly shoved in front of their eyes, particularly by the BBC, as affable communicating professors of everything has worn thin as a rag and they are now perceived for what they actually are. Tedious dickheads who haven’t yet got it into their heads that their jovial knowledgeability, their over the board universal know-all presentation and their strictures and admonitions are now boring the pants off everyone. People have had enough of fat, skinny or hand waving encyclopedias and the dickheads of program planning at the BBC who really believe they know what the nation wants haven’t yet cottoned onto the fact.

Much the same thing is happening with football and ITV. Those likely lad footballing commentators with all the same carefully geared working class patter for what once used to be an out and out working class sport all dress the same way because they’re told to, and do their best to talk the same way because that’s what they think people expect. Well actually lads they don’t. Just a bit of intelligent comment at the interval if you are able without all the promotion and egging up of players’ performances for the transfer meat market. And please, no analysis of performance strategy like you think you’re actually capable of serious strategic consideration, and yes, try and cut out one piece superfluous bullshit after another like you’re trying to impress the viewing public just how knowledgeable you are when what you’re actually doing is putting yourself over as worthy of hire by the company for another season’s business. All the old cockney dropping of ‘h’s here and there along with a working class London accent has run long enough and is now wearing thin on anyone who’s not a plain football moron. You may not know it lads but you’re beginning to sound like dickheads more than anything else.

Now that’s okay for people like Nick Clegg and Vince Cable. People know what they’re like! They’re political salesmen. Selling the nation their Party line and naturally full of bullshit. It’s what they do. They’re wired that way to tell people lies and make them believe that they’re really good guys. They can’t help themselves. Even though people are fully aware that they’re dickheads, they just keep on going, sincerely believing they can convince you. It’s like they’re high on their own lies. Peddling their bullshit because they really believe it! Yes, we’ll do this and that when really they haven’t got the slightest intention and if they once had, well, they can always say they ran out of money and cop a knighthood three years later! That’s Vince Cable’s future. From Scarecrow to Knight of the Realm! Just wait and see!

Dickheads are people who are so full of themselves and their shit that they simply don’t know it anymore. They’ve lost any self-consciousness they might have once had. Can’t see themselves as others might see them. Don’t know what they’ve become… pontificating self-righteous prats that have earned the scorn of young people who they think they can patronize. They firmly believe that they know exactly what people want and how to talk to them. Really and absolutely believe that they’re not talking down to them and in thinking that way THEY ACTUALLY ARE because when you lose the self-consciousness of who and what you are, that’s what you actually come to do. You become separated from people in general. Become a creature for yourself and for your own aspirations and wisdom. You begin talking across to people as someone imparting your own views rather than having a dialogue with them, and theirs. You become self-contained. A presenter of who you are and what you believe yourself to be. And the more separated you become the more you turn into a showman. Your very own politician or television celebrity. You become a dickhead.

It works for a while. Like you become a kind of novelty. Have a kind of novelty effect that’s promoted on a regular basis. But in time you’re perceived as a peddler. A know-all. You don’t know that you’ve become a dickhead, and that you’re not everyone’s favourite pack of savories anymore. You try and become a little more human. Reveal a few little secrets about yourself. A few catchy home truths about what you did in your youth and how you got to be where you are. You know that something’s not right and you try to adjust. Try to put yourself over as a bit more human. Hoping you’ll make people love you again, but they won’t. You’ve shot your bolt. Become an absolute dickhead in the mind of the public and you can’t be anything else. They’ve had quite enough of you and are moving on. To the next nascent dickhead if necessary, but not you. You can’t be un-dick-headed! Can’t get rid of your squirmy dickhead image! The public have swallowed you whole and pooped you out into the cesspit of old news, old faces and old tedium. You’re a has-been in the chicken coop of dickheads. Yes, that’s where you are, and when someone walks by you in the street and gives you a certain look then you’ll definitely know that you’re plain fucking ancient.

The politically ancient dickheads get knighthoods or top jobs on company boards. They grope a few secretaries in lifts and that’s just about it. Maybe an autobiography or a novel if Rupert Murdoch thinks they’re worth it. The celebrity national treasure dickheads just disappear, then re-emerge twenty years later in some vile court case scandal. The sporting dickheads piss off to Spain or Italy running some racket or other or eventually turn up in Barnsley selling vegetables where no-one under thirty’s heard of them. The state of being a dickhead doesn’t last. It’s what modern society, modern culture turns people into. They consciously or unconsciously become permeated with something they’re initially not. They become imbued with the spirit of believing that they’re somehow, someone different, something better than anyone else, and their heads, their whole being is full of it. They’ve become overwhelmed by their own testosterone. Their overweening biological mechanics has literally gone to their heads.

So when you hear about them in the news, or see them pontificating on television, full of themselves anywhere in fact, please, give them a little more understanding. A little less scorn! They really can’t help themselves. They’re controlled by their own impulses to be what they are! Some of you might say that they all just need locking up and the world would be a much better, much safer place without them. For myself I tend to disagree. That the political dickheads are dangerous might be the case, but on the whole I like to think that they bring colour, showmanship and vitality to an only too often drab existence. Where on earth would we actually be without them I wonder? Indeed, our society, our world would be an altogether more boring place.  

Altogether then I only urge this. That we take them all, everything they say and do with a big pinch of salt. Dickheads are easily recognizable so let’s enjoy all their bullshit and keep our guard up so we don’t allow them to take over our lives. That’s their true function really. It’s not to entertain, to persuade or convince. It’s to make each and every one of us more aware. More conscious of ourselves. Much bigger and better human beings capable of helping each other. Capable of dealing wisely with all those difficulties that emerge in our lives. Quickly seeing bullshit for what it is and treating it with scorn!

SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE - NO CAMPAIGN DOOMED : NATIONALISTS ON A ROLL

Now if you were a Scot, seriously pissed off by the way that you and your country have been treated by ten years of Margaret Thatcher’s Tory Government followed by ten years of broken promises from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who are the very last people you’d want to come up to Scotland to tell you that Scottish Independence is a bad idea and you shouldn’t be voting for it! Yes, with true sensitivity to your feelings joke-joke, the political elite at Westminster have sent you the four politicians you’d most likely want to piss on if you ever had the opportunity… Tory Prime Minister David Cameron, his Coalition sidekick Nick Clegg, creepy Ed Miliband and to cap it all, Dark Gordon, he of the scowling face and strange smile! Yes, Westminster’s sent these political emissaries to you in the hope you’ll believe anything they tell you is true and that they’ve honestly got your best interests at heart. That VOTING NO for Scottish Independence from the United Kingdom is the best and safest thing you can do. That they’ve all got your best interests at heart!

Quite frankly it’s enough to make a cat laugh. Is this Westminster political elite plain stupid or something? Or do they think that most people in Scotland are stupid?

Let’s look at the situation from a broader perspective. From a historical point of view. During the 1980s Margaret Thatcher’s social and economic policies devastated Scotland. The country was used as a Tory Test Bed for the Poll Tax. Her harsh economic policies caused widespread unemployment and social misery when most of the country’s coal mines, shipyards and steelworks were closed and incomes reduced to a dependence on tourism, whisky, shortbread biscuits, tartan and oil revenue that was already fast running out. Oh sorry, did I forget the marmalade! The Scots never forgave Thatcher for what she did. In previous decades Scotland sent a fair number of Tory MPs to Westminster but following her time in power their number fell to just about nothing so that today they send only one MP to Westminster.

Little better was to follow under Tony Blair and New Labour. The traditional Labour vote of Scotland’s industrial working class had already begun to collapse but New Labour with breathtaking arrogance continued to take it for granted. The Scots could expect nothing from Labour and got nothing. The mines and shipyards stayed closed with any prosperity concentrated narrowly along the East coast relying on oil and gas. That was just about it. Large sections of industrial Scotland had once been socialist but under New Labour that kind of thing went out the political window. There was to be no special preference for Scotland under New Labour or help for all the hardships they’d suffered due to industrial decline begun under the Tories. No special treatment at all. Instead, with a special kind of contempt the Scots were hung out to dry! They had their tourism didn’t they along with their whisky and tartan? And the Queen spent a lot of time there didn’t she? Wasn’t that enough to keep them all happy. After all there were only four or five million of them so what was all the bloody fuss about Scotland?

First the Tory vote began to collapse while that of Labour became confined to the slums. The Parties at Westminster were doing nothing for Scotland. They were both damaging the National Health Service so precious and important to the poorly fed Scots and both attacking and undermining the student grants system. Despite all the tourism and heritage the economy continued sliding downhill and professionally qualified Scots with any sense were fast leaving for England. It was against such a background of long term political neglect from the traditional parties that the Scottish Nationalist Party began growing along with widespread support for Independence. It was a movement that continued growing year by year under Blair’s New Labour followed by the ever scowling, impossibly arrogant Westminster Scot, Dark Gordon Brown who represented just about everything his country detested. A Westminster Scotsman gone contemptuous and a socialist gone rotten!

Alex Salmond, leader of Scottish Nationalism, doesn’t need to do much when he points a finger at the politicians of Westminster. When he talks of a Westminster political elite and their contempt for the Scots he’s not talking about any abstraction. He’s talking about the two main political parties who’ve done little to nothing for Scotland in the last forty years and his words have struck home. If he speaks with contempt about how these politicians have taken the people of Scotland for granted over so many years it’s a message that rings true in the ears of so many people. It’s why the Scottish Nationalists have come to head the devolved Government of Scotland. The Tories have all but disappeared, the Lib-Dems are less than a handful and Labour’s on the decline… yet the leaders of these Parties think that the best way to persuade the people of Scotland to trust them is to stay in a Union with Tory England and vote NO to Independence!

It’s a bit like the Westminster jack the lads, having pissed all over them for the last forty years, expect the Scots to get up and say thank you very much for coming to see us and giving us all your promises. Yes, we now feel happy that you’ve promised never to piss on us all over again!

Alas the Westminster political parties have treated the Scots with contempt. And having riled them up badly for so long they’re hoping a bit of sweet talk and a few further promises will be enough. The question is, will the riled up Scots decide to go it alone and separate from those the Nationalists tell them are parasites. If they do the consequences will inevitably devastate the politics of the United Kingdom. David Cameron and his Government who allowed the Scottish Nationalists to choose the wording of a Referendum that favours a YES vote will come under serious strain from his Commons backbenchers and may well be voted from office. Labour will lose the support of 41 Scottish Labour MP’s and may become politically unelectable as a future Westminster Government. Furthermore, any future United Kingdom will  have a potentially hostile nation on its northern border with a revised Union Jack looking more like a joke.

The idea for an Independence Referendum was originally proposed by Gordon Brown. This was later supported and facilitated by a Tory Prime Minister David Cameron. There can be no doubt that neither could have had any idea that it would become a deadly serious reality. They took a very serious gamble with the future of the United Kingdom without the idea ever entering their heads that the gamble could go seriously wrong. Never once asked themselves the serious question… what if it did?

SO WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE MAKE SUCH SERIOUS DECISIONS WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING THEIR CONSEQUENCES?

WELL I’LL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE! THEY’RE CALLED BRITISH PRIME MINISTERS!

Finally a postscript.

Yesterday, David Cameron in Scotland came out with his latest clever political strategy. Addressing the people of Scotland, thinking he’d talk to them heart to heart as it were, he used the word effing… ‘effing Tories’… Such a wonderful wee touch of self-deprecation! Something that some advisor at Tory Central Office in London no doubt suggested he try out. Well you know the Scots… They’re all a bit raw… It was something that would appeal to their level! Go down well with a pint of beer and a haggis! Like that’s what the people of Scotland were really all about! That and their pockets.

Some opinion. Forget they are a people with a great cultural heritage. You could buy their NO vote with a few simple economic threats.

ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM AND THE LABOUR PARTY

These days we increasingly see on our televisions screens or read gruesome stories in our newspapers about Muslim fundamentalists beheading innocent civilians or kidnapping and raping women in countries in Africa and the Middle East along with gang raping innocent teenage girls and forcing them into prostitution in the United Kingdom. The latter we now know has occurred on several occasions. And this kind of conduct in the United Kingdom has run alongside other activities such as trying to take over schools in Birmingham and the north of England for the purpose of indoctrinating young pupils in the Muslim faith as well as running a well-orchestrated campaign of intimation and assault against members of the Jewish Community and behaving in a highly inflammatory way in their support for Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group conducting a war from Gaza against the Jewish State of Israel.

What is particularly disturbing about so much of this is that their most disgusting behaviour, that of the public beheadings, is perpetrated by young British Muslims born and educated in this country who hate non-Muslims enough to clearly enjoy killing them this way and making videos of their actions for public consumption. By doing so their hope is to frighten and terrorize anyone not of their vile persuasion. Interestingly enough, these vicious young killers and their supporters in the wider British Muslim Community are too stupid to know that Hitler and the Nazis tried the same terrorizing tactics against the British people in the Second World War by bombing their cities and killing tens of thousands of people. It didn’t work. The resolve of British people to stand up against such terrorism grew increasingly strong until it simply turned to contempt.

Unless you are one of the many fundamentalist members of the Muslim Community in Britain, or a member of the Israel hating (for which read Jew hating) broad Left which includes many in the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats and the so called Stop the War Campaign, the kind of conduct described above shouldn’t alarm you too much. Oh? Do I hear howls of protest coming from the Labour Party in this respect? If so, let’s take a look! In particular its connection to Muslim fundamentalism and terrorism.

Forget about Ed Miliband’s recent pip-squeaking criticism of supposed Tory failure to tighten up on British teenage terrorist controls. In the context of the Labour Party’s affable disposition towards fanatical Muslim preachers in recent years it’s a sick joke. Just an attempt to get a bit of voter creditability from an outraged public. No, your pip-squeaking simply won’t do Mr Miliboy! From the moment that Tony Blair’s New Labour Government came to office in 1995, Labour Home Secretaries had shown an amazingly tolerant if not friendly disposition towards Islamic Fundamentalist preachers spewing out vile anti-white, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish race hatred in sermon after sermon delivered on streets outside mosques and Muslim Community centres to large numbers of young Muslims. Nothing whatsoever was done to stop these people by Labour Home Secretaries or Police Ministers. In fact they had the police stand guard and protect them while they delivered their sermons without fear of interruption. Furthermore, during this high New Labour time of encouraging and facilitating Islamic fundamentalist sermonizing, such tolerance also extended to permitting many Muslim street traders to sell without fear of prosecution rabid anti-Semitic literature from their stalls including Nazi hate material and the works of Adolf Hitler. Indeed, any complaints made at the time were neatly deflected by the local councils where such activities took place.      

While New Labour gave all this the blind eye treatment they allowed Islamic fundamentalist groups such as Al Jahamaroon to spew out oceans of vile filth against Israel, the Jewish Community in Britain and Jews in general. None of it was a problem. The slightest complaint and the fundamentalists had a battery of human rights lawyers working on their behalf to protect their right to free speech and should any Jew complain, why, they were only supporters of an Israeli Apartheid State! In short, under New Labour these Islamo-fascists as they’ve been described got away with blue murder. The whole period in fact was perfect for the dissemination of their filthy views, especially when David Miliband, brother of Ed, was British Foreign Secretary. From a Jewish family background of hard line hostility towards Israel, Dave’s busy bee activities in respect of curtailing arms export licenses of British weapons supplied to Israel must have been sweet music in the ears of the anti-Semitic Muslim fundamentalist fanatics.

But then all this rabid hate preaching and sale of offensive Nazi propaganda material took place during the high time from 1997 when New Labour turned a blind eye to mass Muslim immigration into Britain from Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia. Somehow, it seemed, from all the guff spewed out of variously apologetic Ministerial mouths, that nothing could be done to stop it, let alone prevent the hateful sermonizing by grossly offensive Islamic fundamentalist preachers outside mosques. Yes, there were suddenly various principles of freedom of expression and human rights that came first and to repeat, various lawyers of the broad Left were only too ready to stand up for the freedom of those preachers to call for the punishment and execution of anyone who disagreed with their vile fundamentalist Muslim strictures. In short, the fanatics gained full protection to say whatever they wanted and their words were listened to and heard by countless young Muslim men. Go out and kill the infidel… would have been words burned into their thoughts… and so it is today…

If anyone’s wondering where the barbarity of those young British Muslims committing murderous acts around the world came from they should look no further than the Blair and Brown New Labour Governments. New Labour permitted the seed of a barbarous Islamic fundamentalism to be sown…

and don’t you remember the endless messages we got from BBC Television about how important and useful all these immigrants were to the British economy and British society, and what lovely people they all were... Only now, with a new fundamentalist Islamic state of their very own, THESE YOUNG BRITISH ISLAMISTS ARE SOWING WHAT THEY PICKED UP FROM THE PREACHERS IN A VILE AND MURDEROUS HARVEST OF DEATH.

So thank you Tony Blair and thank you New Labour! You were part of the process that facilitated it all!

And the Liberal Democrats? Let’s take a moment to look at things on the ground. For example, the Lib-Dems control Bath City Council. Alongside their generalized hostility towards the Jewish State of Israel the local Party has a generalised tolerance towards the local Muslim Community. Nothing wrong in that. In theory that is. The Bath Islamic Association had raised a large Palestinian flag on a flagpole from the first floor of the building where it is based near the center of town and filled its ground floor windows with large anti-Israel propaganda posters one of which condemns Israel as an Apartheid State. This itself is offensive. The raising of the flag which is entirely legal posed no problem for the Council and the posters themselves pose no problem for the Lib Dem Council leader. What may be okay for him and other Liberal Democrats however may not be okay for Jews living locally. Such actions indeed have provided a context for anti-Israel, anti-Semitic behaviour by the vociferous local anti-War Coalition Group whose members recently bullied and pushed around a young Jewish lady, filling her ears with insults. The flagpole has now disappeared but the flag still hangs.

In fact Muslim flags very similar to those flown by the Isis Islamic State killers in Iraq are being flown all over East London as I write this Post. No, I’m not joking. It’s all perfectly lawful, courtesy of legislation introduced by current Conservative Secretary of State for Communities Eric Pickles which allows any so called non offensive flags to be flown! Non-offensive? In the context of recent Islamic beheadings under the sign of such banners Mr Pickles? Perhaps you really need to have a good think about the meaning of the word offensive when it comes to considering the families of these men.

Of equal interest in connection with the situation in Bath is the fact that some Muslim students refuse to have anything to do with the Bath Islamic Centre apart from using the mosque for prayer because they regard it as extremist in its support for Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organisation that’s also anti-Semitic. Well that’s okay for the local Liberal Democrats as long as it’s anti-Israel! Really, actually who do these people think they’re kidding?

It is the matter of providing a political context that facilitates racially aggravated behaviour that is interesting here. Labour and the Liberal Democrats refuse to see things this way and by doing so must logically wind up in bed with anti-Semites. The message is simple. Be careful about who you make friends with because they could turn into murdering monsters. It’s okay to be pro-Palestinian… It’s okay to be anti-Israel… and so the road runs on and soon you’re on the fast track to hating Jews… because the people you thought it was okay to support in the first place hate Jews. Not Israelis but Jews. So think about where you’re going to wind up. Suddenly you hate them as well! Easy-peasy!

So to return to where this Post started. Murdering Islamic terrorists don’t suddenly fall out of the skies. They’re home grown. Facilitated by free and easy political values that allow a culture of venomous intolerance and race hatred to grow. Indeed not only permit it but nurture this kind of cultural pathogen. It begins with young men who lend an ear on the street and evolves into a viral end product that joyfully slices off the heads of their fellow human beings in the name of a cause. And Britain of course has provided the perfect laboratory conditions. Nazi mass murderers and killers likewise didn’t just fall out of the skies. They were nurtured by economic and political conditions. It has been a similar breeding ground that was provided in Britain in recent decades. Permit the circumstances for evil and that’s just what you get!  

THE FRIENDS OF HAMAS FRIENDLY JEWISH CHRONICLE

The Jewish Chronicle has been and is the British Establishment mouthpiece for British Jews. The Jewish Establishment may think that the paper is THEIR VERY OWN MOUTHPIECE! A kind of authentic Jewish voice, but it's not! It's editorial staff and financial backers sing from the same hymn sheet as the British Establishment. If they didn't they'd quickjy be put in their place. Back in their box so to speak where they could all coo together about aspiring to what for thdm is the highest and most noble form of human existence possible for any human being on Earth, namely that of an English gentleman or lady.

The history of the paper is singularly dirty. In the 1930's they urged the Jews of London's East End not to demonstrate against fascist leader Oswald Mosley or support any such demonstration. From the 1880's onwards they castigated poor Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland as being uncouth and dirty. At the same time the paper endlessly gave their support to Jewish sweatshop employers in the garment industry against Jewish workers striking fof better pay and trades union recognition.

It's current outrage that has incensed and offended almost the entire Jewish Community in Britain has been to publish an advert by a campaigning group calling for donations for Palestinian civilians, adults and children, injured or displaced in the Gaza Strip as a consequence of the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organisation, Hamas. What has offended so many Jews is that this broad campaigning group comprises a large number of organisations who are openly hostile towards the existenceof the Jewish State of Israel while these along with others areopenly supportive of one of Israel's greatest enemies, Hamas. What then is the Jewish Chronicle doing publishing an advert to collect money for Palestinians that was created and promoted by groups hostile tothe Jewish State? Organisations which, by the way, have no sympathy whatsoever towards Jewish civilians under attack by Hamas rockets. For these people that's quite okay!

The excuse for running the advert we are told by the paper's editor Stephen Pollard is that it doesn't reflect it's editorial policy towards Israel! Is that some kind of joke Mr Pollard? I mean, did someone tell you to say that or did it just come straight out of you arse? If its sentiment wasn't the paper's editorial policy it wouldn't have been published in the first place! So to the 99% of British Jews who support Israel fight to survive against a deadly fascist enemy this advert was a huge insult. A slap in the face for almost every Jew and a great betrayal of the Jewish Community in Britain.

The paper has now apologised to its readers and to the Jewish Community as a whole but it's already too late. Few people will be reading too much of your anti-Israel terrorist friendly shit anymore Mister Pollard. While Jewish soldiers have been giving their life's blood, you only want to show sympathy too other's. You may think that your sentiments are noble but because of the company your paper keeps they are actually disgusting.

Anti-Semitic Attacks on British Jews

In the month of July, at the height of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in Gaza, a poll taken of a fair sample of British Jews has revealed a staggering five fold increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents experienced by them ranging from physical assault to serious or mild open verbal abuse. The emotions behind these attacks clearly relate to the Gaza Conflict and the identification of Britain's Jews with the Jewish State of Israel and their support for Israel's conduct. In this respect the killing of Palestinian civilians, almost entirely accidental, and incidental on Israeli attacks on Hamas military targets sited in areas of dense civilian population has clearly angered sections of the British population, particularly those initially hostile to Israel before the current conflict such as the broad spectrum of the British Left and many members of the Muslim community who were already supporters of the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas, along with many others now sensitized to the Confict and drawn towards supporting this group by the vehemently hostile anti-Israel so-called reporting by specific sections of the British media, specifically BBC and Channel 4 television along with the Guardian and Independent newspapers together with clearly remarks from Labour Party and Liberal-Democrat politicians.

When all this hostile to Israel reportage is added up and taken together it effectively provides a context. British Jews are instantly identified with a cruel and barbarous Jewish State that kills innocent civilians and children, and because the vast majority have deep sympathetic ties with Israel and give it their moral support, they are also deemed cruel and inhuman. Worthy of castigation and attack. They are attacked and abused not simply for being supporters of Israel but because they are Jews as many of the verbal remarks indicate.

Let's not try and hide the situation for what it is or cover it up under a pretext of anti-Israel, anti-Zionism or even pro-Palestinian support (even though the organisation itself is anti-Semitic). All this is simply a mask for anti-Jewish sentiment, in a phrase plain anti-Semitic racial hatred and those making these attacks are plain anti-Semites whose attacks in every aspect are no different in any way to Nazi attacks on Jews in Hitlerite Germany and elsewhere in Europe from 1933-1945. Don't kid yourselves, you people who are assaulting or abusing your fellow British citizens who happen to be Jews, your actions are no different whatsoever to the conduct of Nazis. No matter whether you call yourselves socialists or liberal democrats, you are members of the fascist left; no matter that you are Muslim you are fundamentalist bigots guided by racial hatred; no matter whether you are just plain a-politically British your attacks on Jews are guided by hatred and ignorance stirred up by the media which has provided a venomous and bigoted interpretive context fof your sentiments and filthy conduct. To all of you now attacking Jews a spade is a spade. You are behaving like Nazis and your condemnation of Israel's conduct in Gaza, however much you don't like it, is no excuse whatsoever for your filthy behaviour.

The context provided by the two television channels mentioned above is not simply dirty and provocative, it is, no matter what its news editors and editorial staff may think, by creating that context for anti-Semitism, anti-Semitic itself. You create a context for anti-Semitism and you are anti-Semitic yourself. If you do it without thinking about the monster you create then you are irresponsible and ignorant and have learned none of the lessons of history so your conduct is shameful. If you create such a context knowing its potential consequences then you are plain racists and Jew haters. Simple as that. Either way you are a disgrace and need to be shown up for the anti-Semitic bastards you are.

It's no use trying any glib rationalisation for your conduct in attacking, threatening, verbally abusing or bullying Jewish people by saying that your conduct is justified because they support Israel and therefore attacks against innocent civilizns in Gaza. It's like saying that ALL Jews are vermin, in best Nazi style. Neither can there be any excuse for the twisted, grossly distorted and unashamedly biased presentation of news stories about the Israel-Palestinian Hamas conflict in Gaza by BBC and Channel 4 Television. By your vicious and intended distortions you are creating a context for anti-Semitism and racial hatred of Jews in Britain. Your conduct is racist but please don't worry. You have nothing to fear in the way of prosecution by the police or condemnation by the British political establishment, and as for those who physically assault or verbally abuse Jews, please don't worry either. You can do it with impunity because you have nothing to fear from the police. Should any Jew complain, they'll spend ten years looking into it then find absolutely no evidence on which they can act! After all there are only 220, 000 Jews left in the UK set against a population of 5 million Muslims.

Many of those Jews questioned in the poll who'd experienced anti-Semitism recently expressed the view that they were now considering their status as British citizens. In this they may be right. Britain's Jews, now seriously under threat from the entire British Left along with large numbers of Britain's Muslim population feel themselves to be marginalised. Britain without doubt is definitely no longer a safe or happy place for Jewish people to live and those who think otherwise are only kidding themselves.

And there's the irony of it really. Between 1880 and 1910 Britain's immigrant Jews became the stalwarts of the Left, both as socialists and Labour Party activists during the first half of the 20th century. In it's second half, particularly between 1990 and 2014, they became they became the enemy of the liberalism they had helped to create. And when individual Jews and their families make the choice to live elsewhere, as so many have already done in recent decades, there will be few to raise a lament.

British Jews, your place may soon be elsewhere! But where? You are no longer welcome in Europe it seems. This will leave certain television channels and media outlets with a problem! They'll have no-one left to marginalise or contextualise anymore... But please don't worry. Poland and its Poles are still virulently anti-Semitic even though 99.9% of its Jews have been murdered, so the Jewish enemy lives on for anti-Semitic scoundrels to curse and get their teeth into, whenever and wherever.

HAMAS FRIENDLIES

The Hamas political and military movement which controls the Gaza Strip is an anti-Semitic, Islamic-Fascist organisation implacably opposed to the existence of the Jewish State of Israel and Jews everywhere. So let’s be clear. It’s fundamentalist in its Islamic outlook and fascist in its political disposition. Opposed to all forms of democracy, liberalism, socialism, trades unions, women’s rights and human rights in general. It’s views are at odds with those of many Arab States and it’s regarded as a terrorist organisation by Britain, America and all the nations of the European Community. It denies the occurrence of the Holocaust and the right of Israel to exist. Nonetheless it has its sympathizers, supporters and fellow travellers in Britain, many of whom have emerged in recent weeks to condemn Israel’s actions in Gaza while others have been busy running a hate campaign of close to the mark anti-Semitism.

These critics of Israel have not always appeared to actively support Hamas itself but if the truth be told that is what it actually amounts to. The Israelis were not in Gaza for a celebration or a party. They entered the territory to stop Hamas firing endless rockets into Israel and to destroy the vast network of tunnels dug into Israel for the purpose of infiltration, kidnap and murder. Hamas for its part has described the territory it  controls as ‘occupied’ because Israel has imposed an economic blockade to stop materials from entering the Strip used for terrorist purposes. However if that was the aim of Israel’s blockade it has clearly failed. Hamas has still been able to acquire its munitions and rockets. Almost certainly by night across the porous Egyptian border and mainly during the time its sister organisation, the Muslim Brotherhood, recently ruled Egypt.

It is a fact though that when Hamas refers to ‘occupied territory’ what it actually means is the whole of Israel, not simply the West Bank and Gaza strip, the two territories which the Palestinians control. This is something that Hamas’ British sympathizers no doubt appreciate but like all tacit enemies of the Jewish State refuse to acknowledge. In public at least! If therefore the Israelis are in Gaza to stop endless attacks on its population by Hamas Islamic Holocaust deniers, who then are those people in Britain willing to lend them an ear by vociferously condemning Israel for causing civilian casualties when attacking the Hamas tunnels, rocket launching sites and political premises, most of which are more often than not are hidden in hospitals and schools, civilian community centres and housing complexes?

The siting of such ordnance, done deliberately for achieving propaganda victories that accuse Israel of being a civilian aggressor. Something that allows BBC Television to regularly make suggestions and allegations of Israeli War Crimes! The effectiveness of such propaganda cannot be minimized as Hamas is well aware of the hostile anti-Israel disposition of these anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian sympathizers in mass media organisations like BBC and Channel 4 Television along with sections of the Press and the British political establishment. Within the latter may be counted senior figures in the Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and Tories. These Hamas ‘friendlies’ vary from those who turn a blind eye to their political and religious views and where they’re positioning their weapons to those who criticize Israel for disproportionate military action such as the Milibands along with Liberal Democrats from Ashdown and Clegg all the way down the Israel-hating spine of the Party. And now it’s the turn of those Tory Party Muslims themselves. Those who usually wear soft colors when voicing condemnation of Israel through surrogacy.

Surrogate criticism and malice towards the Jewish State has developed into a fine art in British politics. You attack Israel by criticizing others who don’t criticize or attack its conduct too much or even adopt a balanced approach when considering its actions. Thus Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and lady come lately Baroness Warsi have attacked David Cameron for not sufficiently condemning Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip and the Baroness very publically resigning as a Muslim Foreign Office Minister from his Government. A fact not unnoticed by Palestinians in Gaza who have applauded her support. When these people accuse Israel of using disproportionate force against civilians there’s never a mention  of the Hamas terror organization’s deliberate siting of missiles and tunnels in civilian areas. NOT A WORD OR A PEEP!

With BBC and Channel 4 Television inferring that civilian casualties are deliberate, indeed turning the accusation of malevolent intent into gospel with barely a word broadcast to counter this bigoted and thoroughly malicious anti-Israel presentation, it quite frankly takes on an anti-Semitic character. No initial condemnation of Hamas for firing its rockets and no stating the fact that Israel gave the territory to the Palestinians as a gesture of reconciliation and friendship. Instead you get an easily created dichotomy of Israeli-Jewish aggressors and poor Palestinian victims. It’s not only an easy wave for the Hamas fellow travellers to surf, it’s also an easy way for them to ride their anti-Israel, anti-Semitic emotions.

We’ve all seen Ed Miliband busy on airwaves in recent days. Proclaiming that he’s Jewish himself. Being seen in Israel laying a wreath at the Holocaust Memorial. Mouthing his friendship… etc. etc. But let’s look a bit deeper. Ed and David Miliband come from an interesting background. Their mother has been a lifelong enemy of the Jewish State, actively campaigning against it for many years with the most vicious kind of propaganda possible, opposing her Marxist academic socialist views to those of even the mildest Zionist kind. Everything about Israel to her is hateful, never mind the practical operation of socialism in Israel by the kibbutz agrarian movement. That’s the kind of background her sons grew up in. A self-hating Jewess who put her socialist ideology above everything else, never mind the fact that there have always been socialist parties in Israel, also a country with a strong labour movement. And never mind that Karl Marx’s daughter, Eleanor, no less was very proud of her own Jewish heritage.

No, like Hamas, Mrs Miliband wants to see the destruction of a Jewish State. Holocaust or no Holocaust she never had any time for the idea of Jewish people living in their own land and her son, now leading the Labour Party which, by the way, was founded by a notorious anti-Semite, keenly opposes the right of the Jewish people to defend themselves by proposing an arms export ban from Britain to Israel! Shame Ed Miliband that you’ve learned nothing from history and wind up giving moral support to a gang of Muslim fascists. With ‘friends’ like you and your brother, the State of Israel doesn’t need enemies!

The usual way for terrorist friendly fellow travellers to attack Israel is through the allegation of disproportionality. It creates a high odor factor for little expenditure. All kinds of words have been bandied about from the Secretary General of the United Nations to the American State Department and President Obama himself. Brutal… barbaric… murderous… You name it! And you’d also better say while you’re at it the care that the Israeli forces took before they bombarded civilians areas to regularly keep those civilians informed of their intentions well in advance. There were few if any purposeful and indiscriminate Israeli attacks made without warning and for the television media to suggest this through its correspondents in Gaza endlessly stating and repeating such Palestinian claims is despicable, with BBC and Channel 4 Television in on the act.

These media outlets are enemies of the Jewish State as much as Hamas and it’s time that Israel and British Jews recognised it. Both channels are allowed to broadcast from Israel. A generous gesture seeing what they’ve been doing but then Israel is a democracy, which is more than the views of its enemies are from plain downright hostile to Hamas terrorist friendlies. That’s friends of Israel hating terrorists to me and you!
