Ann Maguire: savage liberals kill again

The national press is currently obsessing about the murder of a Yorkshire school teacher called Ann Maguire.  It comes as no surprise to me that her teenage killer was a drug user. A lot of murders nowadays are committed by drug users.

Before I continue, take a few minutes to enjoy some music.

The singers are two sisters, Lynx and Lamb, who I believe were twelve years old at the time this video was made.  In those days they were poster girls for the white pride movement.  Nowadays they are reputed to be a couple of dope-smoking hippies who describe themselves as more liberal.

What does liberal actually mean?  Merriam Webster defines it as meaning not opposed to new ideas or ways of behaving that are not traditional or widely accepted.  Nevertheless it is a label commonly used to describe people in the USA and the United Kingdom who vote for mainstream political parties.

I find it amusing and disgusting in roughly equal measure that a lot of so-called liberals are pleased that Lynx and Lamb nowadays support relaxing already lax drug laws.

Ann Maguire is dead because Britain's evil mainstream politicians refuse to get tough with drugs.  If all convicted drug dealers in this country were hanged, then there would be far less drug-related crime, and Ann Maguire might still be alive.

If you vote for mainstream political parties then presumably you are a bloodthirsty savage with no regard for innocent human life.  Then again, maybe Ann Maguire was a so-called liberal, in which case she was far from innocent.

If you are a LibLabCon voter and you are murdered by a drug user, then maybe your death should be classified as suicide rather than murder.  Am I joking?  I'm not sure.

As for Lynx and Lamb, their white pride music remains in the public domain, and I would rather listen to their music than smoke a joint any day of the week. I am not a bloodthirsty so-called liberal.

Independence: Scotland must vote yes

On Thursday 18 September 2014, the people of Scotland will be able to vote in a referendum on whether or not to leave the United Kingdom and become an independent country.  It is important that they vote yes.

To be strictly accurate, First Minister Alex Salmond envisages a Scotland which is not truly independent, as he apparently wants Scotland to remain as a vassal state of both the European Union and the Council of Europe.  Nevertheless an independent Scotland could sever ties with both organisations, and I hope it will.

Many issues are being considered by floating voters, and one of them is the economy.  The simple fact however is that a sovereign Scotland could prosper economically if it merely elects a government which is committed to sound financial management - unlike the government of David Cameron.

Another issue is defence.  The First Sea Lord, George Zambellas, has apparently warned that an independent Scotland would no longer enjoy the security contribution of the Royal Navy.  Who is he trying to kid?  Following many decades of LibLabCon misrule, the Royal Navy is now about as intimidating as a cake of soap in a bathtub. 

A related issue is nuclear weaponry, as the Scottish National Party has pledged to close the Trident missile base on the Clyde.  Presumably we can overlook the fact that nuclear missiles do not actually exist.

A recent comment in a national newspaper quotes Ed Miliband as saying that he doesn't want his children to think that Scotland is a foreign country.  This is the same Ed Miliband who is devoted to turning the whole of the United Kingdom into the semblance of a foreign country through a policy of open door immigration.

Is it true that ten percent of the population of Southampton are now Polish nationals?

Another recent newspaper comment alleges that members of the Scottish Labour Party are being intimidated by nationalists over their campaign for a no vote in the referendum.  I smell hypocrisy.

I can remember Janey Buchan, for many years a leading figure in the Scottish Labour Party, refer to the SNP as the enemies of Scotland.  Can anyone explain why the Scottish Labour Party feel that they alone have the right to spout bile?

I am a pacifist, and for me the deciding issue is that in future when the evil LibLabCon warmongers send troops into an illegal war, they should at least not have access to the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

It is vital for world peace that Scotland votes for independence, and that it then follows the example of Ireland by adopting an attitude of armed neutrality.

The Tories - soft on crime as ever

The following quote is from a comment in a national newspaper:

More than 160,000 criminals convicted of an offence but not sent to jail during 2012 had previously committed at least 11 offences. 

Of those 160,000 almost half went on to commit another crime within a year.

That is a vast number of people reoffending.

As ever, behind the statistics lie many sad stories of misery.  For every crime there is a victim.

Although crime appears to be falling, it is fair to say that crime would almost certainly be far lower if the Conservative-led coalition government were to take crime seriously.  Harsh prison sentences for serial offenders would be a good start.  A higher deportation rate would also help, but here again the government is failing.  The following quote is from another national newspaper:

Four years ago David Cameron promised a crackdown after it emerged that more than 11,000 foreign inmates are clogging up our jails. 

But since then almost no progress has been made in bringing the number down. 

The Commons Public Accounts Committee found that the rate foreign inmates are sent home has dropped by 14 per cent over the past four years.

I can remember a time when the Conservative Party had a reputation for being the party of law and order.  They didn't deserve that accolade then, and they still don't deserve it today.

One year on ...

This blog was launched last year on St George's Day, and the first entry was about the fact that a government minister had expressed support for using traditional county names.  My comment was that:

I suspect that most people in this country care little for traditional county names, and are far more interested in things like the state of the economy or the condition of their local roads.

The full comment can be read here.

Today I looked at the websites of the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, the United Kingdom Independence Party, the British National Party, and the Green Party (of England and Wales).  Of these, only two mentioned St George's Day.

While I have no objection to the BNP and UKIP mentioning that today is St George's Day, the fact remains that there are many far more important issues.  Mentioning a saint's day does not make you worth voting for.  Not mentioning it does not make you not worth voting for.

A lot has changed in the last year, and yet so much stays the same.  Writing this blog can sometimes seem like a repetitive task, but that is no reason not to continue with it.  I look forward to its second year.

Another sad story - but do you care?

What follows is derived from two recent comments (by the same author) on the website of a national newspaper:

I am 60 and have nothing.  I can't find work and subsist on JSA.  At my time of life I was hoping for so much more, having worked for 35 years. It's hard finding a job. I have had interviews but no one wants me.  I wish people would stop knocking benefit claimants.  We are not all lazy dossers but want to work.

Although unemployment appears to be falling, there are still more than TWO MILLION people out of work in this country.  Behind the statistics are lots of sad stories, but how many people really care?  Labour and Conservative and Liberal Democrat politicians do not.  Presumably neither do people who vote for those politicians - unless of course someone can put me right, but I doubt it.

If you are in work today then you could be out of work tomorrow.  If you have money today then you could be penniless tomorrow.  If you have friends and family today then you could be lonely tomorrow.

I have a suspicion that I have written similar words before.  Maybe I have.  Nevertheless the people of Britain need to be told over and over again that they should not trust evil politicians like Cameron, Clegg, and Miliband.

Jews matter. Does anyone else?

Two news items today remind me of the rather perverse nature of the world in which we live.

The first is that Jews in the Ukraine have been ordered to register with the pro-Russian authorities.  It currently appears that this is a hoax, but the press nevertheless seems to be taking it very seriously, as too is the evil government of the USA.

The second is that the war in Iraq is far from over.  The British and American troops may have long since left the country, but the killing continues.

Even if the report of the Jewish registration in Ukraine proves to be true, it would surely be far less deserving of our attention that the ongoing carnage in Iraq.  The gutter press can refer to the holocaust when talking about anything remotely anti-semitic, but do not use the word holocaust to describe the very real killing of innocent people in Iraq.

When Britain and the USA invaded Iraq, how many national newspapers denounced the war as unjust?  I can think of one British newspaper, but even that newspaper did not urge its readers not to vote for any political party which condoned the illegal invasion.

How many Jews condemned the illegal western invasion of Iraq?  Did the government of Israel?

If you vote in elections for warmongers, then you are the scum of the earth.  You have the blood of innocent people on your hands, but maybe you are not capable of caring.

Starvation Britain

At least two newspapers today are reporting that around one million people in this country have made use of food banks in the past year.  This figure is reported by the Trussell Trust, which represents most but not all food banks in Britain.  It is also reported that two new food banks are opening every week to help cope with demand.

While this might lead us to conclude that many people in Britain are living just an inch away from starvation, there are those who argue that the food banks are a symptom of a society in which many people have a sense of entitlement.  For example it has been claimed that some people take minicabs to go to food banks.

Before I continue, please take a few minutes to watch this video clip of Jack Monroe.  If you do not have time to watch all of it, then please at least watch from 3.54 at which point she describes people waiting in a queue for forty minutes to collect five items of food.  How many people would do that if they did not need to?

I have read about people being given bags of food at a food bank, and then handing back any items of food which need cooking because they cannot afford to turn on their cookers.  Are we to believe that these people also have umpteen cans of lager in their refrigerators?

I donate food to my local food bank, and I believe that anyone who obtains a food parcel fraudulently should be arrested and either cautioned or prosecuted.  However I remain firmly of the opinion that many people in this country genuinely are going hungry, and that the government is not doing enough to help them.  I intend to carry on supporting my local food bank.
