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.
Please consider supporting the Coffee House Wall by making a donation, of whatever amount, to fund the running of the site using the Paypal donation button provided.
Interesting that bomb disposal units are being sent into the Surrey home of the murdered Iraqi family. Will the petrol-station flower and teddy bear brigade, who are giving ‘respect’ be left with egg on their faces?
Could be a fail-safe op. Booby traps installed in the vacant home in case the Alps assassination failed. If this is a “family dispute” the families must be full of heavies.
The following case had me in tears, and I sent the following email to the RSPCA. By the way, it is almost impossible to get the email of this organisation, but I found it. So, if anybody else wants to write to them, here it is:

The RSPCA comes out very poorly in this tragic and evil case. The
RSPCA seem to have become slipshod in follow-ups and actually doing
anything to help animals in need. The same story of those horses and
ponies badly neglected in Amersham, Bucks, the RSPCA have now repeated
their familiar pattern of laid-back uselessness. I for one, no longer
support the RSPCA and try to help smaller, more dedicated animal
charities.

“The RSPCA comes out very poorly in this tragic and evil case.”
Hello Anne I have for many years had a quarterly direct debit to contribute to the RSPB a thoroughly respectable organisation and one that in my opinion spends donations in the way one would expect.
However the RSPCA and also Oxfam do not get one penny of my money for a number of reasons but in the main because I loath their politics.
David Ossitt – Agreed. I can’t stand the RSPCA and Oxfam has given me the creeps since Day One. I agree about the RSPB. They do honest and stellar work.
I have arranged to meet and interview Mr Boot next week, and am looking forward to the opportunity very much.
I shall be compiling a list of questions, both for my own personal interest and to publish and interview here, so if folk have questions they have not already posted on the site then do please send them to me. You can use peter@coffeehousewall.co.uk if you don’t want to post them as comments.
Let me also say that it does cost me to travel around and so if anyone is appreciative enough of this site to want to support its development, and hasn’t already kindly made a donation towards its expenses, then let me ask you to consider making such a donation.
With regard to Verity’s post on dead body dropping from the sky, the Mail reports:-
The only pieces of evidence left on the scene today were dark smears on the pavement where the blood was cleared up and a bunch of lilies and a rose left by neighbours to mark the spot.
Before you know it someone will want to have an inscribed brass plaque to mark the spot.
All of this nonsense with flowers and teddies (for god sake) started, I think on the death of the jezebel princess, it is decidedly not British to feign emotions that are not sincere.
Forgive me for repeating what I posted at the other place on David Blackburn’s “The answer lies to the east of Heathrow” thread:

David Ossitt – These flowers and teddy bears(!!!!!!) for an illegal would-be alien is part of the intentional infantalisation of the British … actually, I think specifically the English. The Scots and Welsh don’t seem to be so showily infantile.

Regarding that rubbishy article in the “DM” whuch both you and Verity remarked on, I find it sick-making! To use a vulgar, but apt old-fashioned expression, the “DM” readers, who make such soppy comments, are usually mean types who “Wouldn’t give you the drippings off their noses”.

The Olympics have always been used to re-inforce a nation’s sense of itself, and have always been a waste of money because of that. It’s political puff that leaves no ‘legacy’ at all.
But this is must go down as the first Olympics that has set about celebrating the destruction of a nation’s identity.
They have been exploited across the political spectrum (not least for money by William Hague’s grappling chum – I mean judo, of course – Sebastian Coe), but the biggest political message attached to them has been: diversity – aka ethnicide, ethnic cleansing of the indigenes.
That is the measure of their ‘success’.

Re.the RSPCA:This was hi-jacked by activists years ago .The trick was their policy was set at the AGM in London.Many were members ,but it was a good old fashioned [laid-back] charity that did the nity-grity work which they supported. Then activists infiltrated and turn-up at the AGM and passed a resolution against fox hunting.This lead to many country members giving- up membership.And the results which we see above.//……// You may care to known it’s history.One of it’s founders was ‘hair-trigger’ Dick Martin who ‘ruled the houseless wilds of Connemara’,and was wont to take a whip to anyone he caught maltreating an ox or horse on the grounds the animal could not speak for it’s-self.

They are not they are Iraqi, which brings me to the question of why they were in our country in the first place as there are no people on this earth who the Iraqi,s loath more than the British. How do I know that? well I lived in Baghdad for two and a half years, which is more that those BBC tossers have.
stephen maybery
September 11th, 2012 – 10:15
Stephen, I agree absolutely. These Iraqis were living here because the British establishment is corrupt, and it is part of their agenda to bring in these aliens in order to fortify their marxist agenda. The survuving members of the family (the children) should not have been returned to England, but remain in France. Actually, medical treatment being as it is here, compared to France, this isn’t as heartless as it sounds. A complete check should be made as to whether this Iraqi family actually took out British nationality, and the results made public.
There are a lot of Iraqi Syrian Orthodox Christians here in the UK who have fled from terror. I am more than happy to welcome them.
Peter from Maidstone
September 11th, 2012 – 11:36
Agree, Peter
Unfortunately, the British Government is not in the least concerned about the fate of Christians. They are obsessed with their ‘Lawrenec of Arabia’ adoration of muslims.
Lawrenec – Should have read Lawrence, apologies.
“There are a lot of Iraqi Syrian Orthodox Christians here in the UK who have fled from terror.”
The Ba’athists are socialists and aren’t exclusively anti-Christian, are they? Or are they?
The Islamic groups in Iraq seem to be exclusively anti-Christian, whether they are socialist or not I don’t know.

Genuine refugees have, historically, always been welcomed to our shores. Alas, NuLab turned our language, and everything else, on its head. Thus, one of our nation’s noblest traditions, and our generosity of spirit, has been usurped, destroyed!
Saddam Hussein didn’t seem to be overly bothered about having as his Foreign Minister one Tariq Aziz, a Christian. AIUI, the persecution of Christians in Iraq didn’t get going until after the “Allies” made it clear that the Ba’ath party would be playing no part in any future government.

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”.. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”.. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

I think, for those who have not seen it yet, the Glenn Beck video should be followed by its companion:
http://englishdefenceleague.org/home/edl-news/1792-tommy-robinson-on-the-walthamstow-demo
which I recommended earlier and where you will see the pressure that Tommy Robinson is under as he struggles to speak what he feels not what he ought to say..
Chairman of the British Freedom Party, Paul Weston., said of Tommy Robinson and the EDL that they are “a little rough around the edges” – this is true, hence my elf n sifety warning on this link: but Glenn Beck, with the security that he has to provide for his family and the unprovoked verbal attacks on him in the street, is in the same fight as Tommy Robinson. Though I would say that Tommy Robinson has it far harder as he has the state mobilized against him personally using the machinery of the police and courts to silence him on top of the violent plots against him by the left/islamic alliance with the tacit (silent – sleeping) support of the bien-pensants at the Spectator, the BBC and the main political parties of career politicians and bottom-fishers of the vote of the national and international islamic polemicists and their running dogs.
The interesting question to try to answer is why Tommy Robinson is the target of this covert mobilization by the government? Whose interest is served by using that sledgehammer to crush someone they consider a mere nut?
Reasons to be cheerful.
I now have the official meneer Clog stamp of approval to go with the Broon one. I can’t wait to hear more evidence of bigotry from milliband and shameron now.
Malfleur, I don’t think that our present system has much to do with the electorate choosing who they want to represent them. Here in Maidstone there is no choice at all. The person who will be the next MP is selected by David Cameron and parachuted in. Local Primaries are one way in which the people might have more of a choice.
I do think that criminality should prevent a person being an MP. MPs are supposed to be honourable, not criminal. It is already the case that an MP sentenced to more than 1 year is removed from office. At present if you are only mildly criminal – and you still have to have committed a fairly serious offence to go to prison – then you are allowed to continue as an MP. I don’t accept that.
In the Church there are life choices which a person makes which preclude them from ministry. This doesn’t prevent useful service in other areas. But clerical service is not the avenue open to those who have acted in certain ways in the past, even if they have regret, and in Christian terms have repented. I think that the same should apply in the highest public office. Would a criminal judge but acceptable? A criminal policeman is not supposed to be acceptable. How much more those who are law-makers.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) is wittering on about climate change and how British summers will have unbearable heat waves, swarms of mosquitoes and rampant hay fever. The word “if” is included but conspicuously missing from the dumbed down sensationalised headlines. Personally those three dangers bother me rather less than the moronic neighbours who seem to live in their gardens, hold noisy barbecues at every conceivable opportunity and who don’t understand that not everyone wants to listen to their choice of radio programmes. The prospect of that sort being discomforted in their noisy pursuits by unbearable heat, mosquitoes and hay fever is strangely attractive. Hopefully climate change will also create a deadly virus that thrives in barbecued food.
The HPA is still going strong despite its supposed demise in a year’s time as part of that famous bonfire that never happened (more sleight of hand than bonfire). Here is what it says about itself, oxymorons notwithstanding:-
“The Health Protection Agency is an independent UK organisation that was set up by the government in 2003 to protect the public from threats to their health from infectious diseases and environmental hazards. It does this by providing advice and information to the general public, to health professionals such as doctors and nurses, and to national and local government. From April 2013 the HPA will become part of Public Health England.”
This is just one of many hundreds of organisations clamouring to lecture, warn and nag us about a whole range of “dangers” that we are apparently far too stupid to consider ourselves. The usual routine is to follow the nagging with increasingly invidious legislation to control us for our own good. But I have noticed a growing matrix approach where evidently scripted themes are being increasingly co-ordinated across Quangoland. Child protection is one where different “agencies” will all announce variations on a theme and their exaggerated dangers all at the same time. So the dangers of binge-drinking parents hits a number of “causes” in both child protection and alcohol consumption. Watch this space and I expect we will soon find that eating meat is somehow dangerous to children. Unfortunately it probably won’t just be barbecued meat.
Ah, the blessings of the enlightened Arab Spring continue to work their magic on compassion, tolerance, freedom of speech and humanity.

The cause of the “unrest”:-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmodVun16Q4
I note that Governments are swift to ‘deplore any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others’. But as a committed Christian I have no problem with people criticising and denigrating my beliefs. Usually such denigration is based on ignorance, but in a free society I am happy that people can say things which I can also be free to ignore.
The issue for me is rather when my liberty to practice my faith is restricted. I don’t see Government quite so swift to protect my liberty. And in fact it seems on closer inspection that it is only Islam which should never be denigrated. I’d have thought that when 99% of all world terrorism is conducted by the members of only one religion it would be well worth reflecting on the teachings of that religion in greater detail than seems to be presently allowed.
According to Nick “Clueless” Clegg, those of us who are against the idea of gay “marriage” are bigots. He fails to realise that the only bigot here is himself.
I find the idea of 2 men (or women) taking part in a religious “marriage” ceremony an affront to God. No objections to a civil ceremony including all the legal rights given to heteros, but never a religious one.
When will gays be satisfied with the rights they have already won? At the rate they are going, with the assistance of idiots like “Clueless” Clegg, eventually it will become an offence to be heterosexual.
I tried to write a comment in response to Lesley C. But no matter how I worded it I realised it could be easily misconstrued and subject to a complaint and therefore potential prosecution. This made me realise that freedom of speech no longer exists because there is already a “chilling” effect in trying to determine what can and can’t be written legitimately about certain subjects. This is a terrible state of affairs for what was once described in the Winchester School memorial to the fallen of 1914-18 as “the stronghold of freedom” and I believe that Mr Clegg as a supposed “liberal” and “democrat” should hang his egotistical head in shame.
It seems strange to me that after decades of socialist “progress” there seem to be more bigots and discrimination than ever before. But of course it is an ever-broadening definition that is the culprit, not the reality.
T-Shirt on sale at TUC Conference: “A generation of trade unionists will dance on Thatcher’s grave.”

Peter from Maidstone @ 09:00
My main concern is the potential for abuse in adopting one or both of the proposals; namely that baseless criminal prosecutions may be brought and won with a corrupt or politically partial judiciary; or, alternatively. traditionally acceptable actions may be criminalised by a corrupt political class – all with a view to excluding unwanted representatives from parliament.
The answer is, instead, to campaign for a right of constituents to recall their MP. I realize of course that in a constituency which has elected a George Galloway, a member of parliament who ought by all normal and traditional standards be recalled will remain in place….
What we need is fewer MPs but better MPs…
I just read that the United States Ambassador to Libya has been killed in an attack on the US Consulate in benghazi.
When is the United States president, Hussein Obama, going publicly to recognize that these sons of bitches are muslims and that the United states and the rest of us are at war with them?
“…Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, said: “”I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi.
“It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.” ” (Daily Telegraph)
Un-effing- believable!
With reference to the status of Christians in Iraq under Saddam. There was no discrimination, in fact there was a particularly beautiful cathedral in Baghdad dedicated to the Armenian rite. If there is any animus towards Christians today it will have come from the south, which is Shia, indead the second most holy Shia site, Kerbala, is there. One of the most stupid things the Americans did was to ban anyone who had been a member of the al Bath party. Now in Saddam,s Iraq, to get any decent job, one had to be a party member, no matter how talented you were, no party card no job. The overwhelming majority loathed the party of which they were members, so you can not brand all members of the party as socialists, they were not
Many of the Armenians in the UK presently are also refugees from the disturbances in Iraq.
I agree with everone above, but no one has a solution. I however. have one I have been suggesting for around a year now.
Remove the power, which is oil, from the muslims. Go in and annex their oilfields and refineries (if they have any). Give them a peppercorn rental and let them get on with their primeval lives without having to deal with us. There should be no Arab workers in the oilfields or premises associated with the oil industry. That would include the port and tankers, all of which should be staff by our own people, (who could do with the work).
Let them keep their deserts and their camels and 14 “wives” and marry off their daughters aged 10 or whatever. Their domestic affairs are not our business. But we should be in complete, 100% control of the oil industry and that includes the ports and roads.
The only thing that gives these freaks a voice in today’s sophisticated world is oil. Take that away from them (paying the market price for the raw material, but not the infrastructure surrounding its extraction or transport) and they are just another stupid, primitive country that has no reference to the progress of humankind.
Their primitive little thoughts and opinions are getting far too much attention. I’d rather listen to what Pat Condell or Ann Barnhardt or Nigel Farage has to say than an Arab whose greatest inventive achievement is falafel.

AWK 16:06 — ” the world, alas, is run by corrupt idiots.” Yes to “corrupt”, no to “idiots”. These people are canny and greedy. Do you think that David Cameron, to take one repulsive example, ever did anything in his life that would not benefit him in some way … even a “kind” action that would earn him a pat on the back and a “well done”.
They have no interest in what is right. Their interest is in self-promotion, praise, power and glory. And, of course, money.
That’s why I’d like the oilfields taken away from the Arabs. The oil is not a power supply, except in one sense. It is a weapon. That is why we need to disarm them by removing it from their control. Things will only get more grim if we do not.
It matters not how they snivel in the General Assembly of the UN. The UN doesn’t have an army. We do.

“Further reasoning available on application.”
A very charitable, albeit unsolicited, offer, old bean.
“Many of the Armenians in the UK presently are also refugees from the disturbances in Iraq.”
So why didn’t they go back to Armenia?
The Armenians from Iraq have been there for hundreds and hundreds of years. They are ethnic and cultural Armenians but they are not from the modern country called Armenia.
“Hundreds and hundreds of years” in someone else’s country and never assimilated? Well I suppose that’s multiculturalism for you.
Armenians have always preserved their ancient culture. There were a million in Turkey before the genocide. Now there are 80,000. The Armenian kingdom of Cilicia also preserved their culture when Armenia was overcome by enemies. I am glad their culture has been preserved and I appreciate it a lot as far as I can participate in it.
Millions of Englishman have also maintained their ancient culture in enclaves in Great Britain, despite many seeking refuge abroad.

This posting is for you, because you are always hoping somebody would burn the BBC down. Tonight, I watched via IPlayer, the 3rd episode of “Mr Khan”. This was very vulgar, and if previous episodes upset the desert barbarians, this will have sent them berserk! I only hope that when they start their ‘revenge’ Kirsty Squark, Lyse (Douche Bag) Doucet, Orla (Death Head) Guerin and Stephen Fry are on the premises.

Has there been a fundamental shift in the priorities of our senior police over the last decade or have they always been of this ilk?

Love it! Whenever this person comes on, we immediately switch channels, or at least turn off the sound, so as not to hear that miserable, droning, head-in-the-gas-oven voice. Makes me feel like topping myself just listening to it.

Frank P – Don’t be cheeky. Would you buy tickets to a show where the only ad said, “This is a really interesting show”??

There has been a fundamental change overall: the politicisation of the police as a partisan tool, a Stasi-type function has evolved over the past 20 years or so and I have covered it ad nauseum on blogs various for a decade (so much so I’m bored with the theme myself). However, there have always been a small percentage of dolts among all ranks who have used the Job as a sinecure, for personal ambition rather than pro bono publico, or for villainy. It would be dishonest and foolish to deny that.
But I tagged that link in relation to the Prime Minister’s ‘apology’ today relating to the Hillsborough disaster. I suspect Bettison’s name will feature prominently in the general condemnation of those who subsequently investigated the complaints of the victims relatives and failed to acquire justice for them. It was bandied about today during the press conference today.
Verity (01:32)
Yes – if it was you that recommended it; obviously that trust is not mutual. Forgive my misjudgment in thinking that it might be. And the day I stop being ‘cheeky’, will be the day my appointed agent links to my obit – FYI. So don’t be ignoring any more links.
Btw -I didn’t realise that Peter has put out the tip jar to garner enough to employ you as a subbie! If I’d known that I would have peed in it. 🙂
Frank – I don’t usually ignore your links, as it happens. Sometimes I go out of irritation because you haven’t told us what they are about so I have to go and find out.

‘s funny, I thought “Internet Movie Database” (IMDb) was supposed to be quite authoritative. Can’t find “Innocence of Muslims” anywhere on it…but I can be quite sloppy in my searches, as some of you have noted.
It’s interesting that on the Spectator site they have a piece by Sunder Katwala of British Future. This seems a very odd organisation since the Future it wants for Britain isn’t one that most of us would want. It has a view of immigration that it is a good thing, and that our opinions must be changed rather than that immigration should stop or be reversed. The organisations which fund it, and the members of the board of trustees, including directors of Stonewall the aggressive pro-homosexuality lobby group, all seem to be left wing, even when they have Conservative Party connections (but clearly not conservative principles).

A truly exemplary essay, to which one hopes in vain I’m sure, sadly, that the US Government will pay attention and act accordingly:

As neither the US government no the British government appear to have the slightest idea on how to confront the war being waged against against us by the most serious menace since A Hitler, it can only be assumed that our joint civilisation now stands on the brink of disaster, if indeed it is not already over the edge and and free-falling into the Abyss. All that remains, it seems, is to discover how long the fall into the pit will take before it reaches rock bottom and how we should reflect, on the way down, on the reasons for its failure to address the causes of its downfall.
My own conclusion already is that our willingness to bend over both ways in order to accommodate those who wish to annihilate the Judeao-Christain religion and its cultural tributaries in the main cause. And I say this as an agnostic rather than an adherent to any particular creed. If we do not defend the evolutionary progress we have made over the centuries with all means necessary, we shall return to the barbarity upon which the cult of our enemy has been built and maintained.

Yes, in previous correspondence with Mr Boot Senior, I learned that the fruit of that particular tree has been kicked a little too far away, by other boots marching on a different course, from the place it originally fell. Perhaps the shadow of the tree was too strong for that apple. Generations are like that, they are unwilling to wait for the tree to wither and die, then flourish in their turn, in due course. All part of genetic mutation I guess, as most fathers would acknowledge, perhaps?
An edited extract from Alexander Boot’s essay on US foreign policy; link kindly provided by Frank P:
“screaming sweet endearments, such as ‘Obama, Obama, we are here for the triumph of Islam’ and ‘We are all Osama.’
The official line, enunciated by Mrs Clinton, is that they aren’t ‘all Osama’. They’re rather lamentably misguided persons who haven’t yet realised they’re all democrats at heart.”
“He’s NOT the Messiah; he’s a very naughty boy.” has perhaps more truth in it than we could see through our tears of laughter at the time.

“France shootings: origins of massacre lie in Britain, says prosecutor.”
Doesn’t that smack of a typically French, “Slope shoulders, “Nuffin’ to do wiv me, yer Honour. I’m just not going to bother too much from now on.””
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Christopher Stevens “will be remembered as a hero by many nations. He risked his life to stop a tyrant then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya. The world needs more Chris Stevenses.”
And the world will get them. Lenin never feared there would be a shortage of capitalists ready to sell the communists the rope they would use to hang them. And now, even despite this brutal murder, there is no shortage of diplomats in Washington, ready to show their nation’s good will and bestow its largesse among those who will stab them in the back as soon as they turn in the other direction. If our nation continues indefinitely down this road, the entire country will eventually suffer the fate of Christopher Stevens, writ large.”

At the other place, a comment on the anonymous article entitled ‘What Barroso Should Have Said’:
” Alan Eastwood • 4 hours ago
Let us not debate what he DIDN’T say but what he did say. The fear of many is now facing us, a Confederation of Nation States under one banner, United as a super power.
Now we can see why our military has been weakened so, No Navy, No RAF and an army kept well out of the way in a discredited and useless war. Why the police are being changed into a continental model and why the English have been trodden on and it being removed from maps. Why schools have not taught the history of these isles, even why we have been decimalised. Whilst we have been inside our little homes ignoring what was happening.
Why all eu legislation has been agreed to, why Common Purpose has been allowed to get its tentacles into every aspect of public life, why no party in Parliament shows no objection to anything thrown up by this undemocratic organisation.
We have been betrayed by politicians, broadcasters and newspapers. No politician has ever stood against this tyranny and the people have been kept in the dark and fed on bull,,,,.
Sadly I fear the worst. All major parties will be standing for being part of this new world. We will be lost outside etc. etc. etc. all supported by the BBC. Channel 4, Sky and the rest…
The people will support becoming Europeans.”

Nice one, Malfleur!
I am beginning to believe veritys opinion as to how to deal with the oilfields and the Muslim problem looks like the sensible answer .
Do unto them before they do unto you.
The situation is escalating , and escalating fast.this lunacy is going to have to be stopped.
And on the subject of what someone should have said and didn’t, here’s Ben Stein on what Romney should have said about the bombing of the US Embassy in Libya:
http://spectator.org/archives/2012/09/12/what-romney-should-have-said
Even in Canada, the erstwhile conservative National Post has just published a leader telling us we should not blame either Islam or Muslims in general for the murders of the U.S. Ambassador and others in Libya.
To that I believe we should in return ask – Why not?
The western media would do better to show more spine and point out – loudly and clearly, as Margaret Thatcher did over an earlier atrocity – that we have heard neither Muslims in general nor Muslim clerics voicing anything like enough criticism of the atrocity.
What else can we conclude but that it resulted from Islamic teachings and that most of the world’s Muslims approve of it?
John Birch … It’s the only way to solve this because the only language that the adherents of the religion of peace understand is merciless violence and aggression.
We need to annex the oilfields, the ports and the roads to and from the ports and the appropriate airspace.
Let us leave the deserts and whatever passes for cities undisturbed.
PS – And we should do this at once rather than smugly believing we can make these decisions at our leisure. We should do it while the decision is still ours.

I have just finished reading John Le Carré’s novel Absolute Friends, so of course am in the frame of mind to believe that Ambassador Stevens was taken out by forces on his own side interested in stirring things up for their own ends; i.e. under the influence of the novel, I am temporarily in the frame of mind in which Frank P found himself on the eve of the London Olympics. I am sure it will pass.
I do however want “to revisit” Tommy Robinson and his video on the EDL site made following Walthamstow, since I cannot satisfy myself as to the reasons why, as I put it earlier, the powers that be should use a sledgehammer to crack what they themselves to believe is a mere nut.
I shall think about this a bit more and try to put it into a short, coherent post; but would then appreciate some input from others as i am genuinely puzzled.

“Tommy Robinson has had word that many Islamist Muslims are planning to hold a demonstration outside the US Embassy tomorrow [Friday] after morning prayer.
These known Islamists have no regard for democracy or for freedom of speech, they have nothing but hostile intent towards our American cousins so Tommy would like as many people as possible to make themselves available to confront these bearded islamofascists….”

Sorry to trouble you; I find that proof-reading one’s own output is a futile exercise, somehow the mind tends to skip over the minor typos because it has been down the path before.

In the meantime, while Western Embassies all round the world are under siege and the enemy is not only at the gates, but down the drain-pipers, up the sewer pipes and through the front door and back doors of our citadels, the MSM are engaged about whether a pretty girl should disrobe in private if she happens to be married to a Prince.

Just watched the D’Souza piece. Interesting! A good promo piece for the fillum and the book (and forthcoming DVD).
However … in laying out what he purports to be Obama’s motivations and creed, he does a much better job of it than Obama has himself: a much more articulate analysis of anti-colonialism/social justice, than even Bill Ayers has done over the years.
So! isn’t this more likely to energize Obama’s base (which are generally reported as likely not to get out in large numbers on election day) and to provoke them to vote, rather than swaying ‘independent’ soft liberals the other way, turning them against Obama, and persuading them to vote Republican?
I’m not disputing that Dinesh has nailed Obama, but, given that three generations of Western issue have been brainwashed by anti-American hegemony propaganda, then where does public opinion lay, in this regard? In other words, it could be counter-productive from a conservative standpoint.
In fact, if I was a suspicious old cynic (which of course I am not), I might even consider the possibility that D’Souza is an Obama agent who is putting the case for anti-colonialism and anti-US hegemony more strongly than Obama would dare do himself. Cunning?
I’d be interested to hear whether anyone else got that uneasy feeling as they watched it?

Then they have their own illegals from Guatamala and similar.
I wish The Mail, Telegraph and others would stop spelling mohammad with a capital M. Do we know for sure that Arabic has capital letters and that they use them for names?
Mohmmad (capital M to start the sentence in English) was a serial paedophile who had long, serious discussions with his friends as to whether he should penetrate six-year old Aisha who he “married” after seeing her being pushed on a swing by her mother and instantly fell in love with her. His somewhat more civilised friends suggested holding off until she was nine, and he was eventually persuaded from rape of a 6 year old.
This is the quality of individuals the mohammadans admire.
Read the whole story in the Surahs, which are attached to the koran. I’ve never read the whole Surahs, never having had any trouble falling asleep, but I believe mo was already “married” to a couple of other little girls when he lost his heart to six-year-old Aisha on her swing.

Your puzzlement about the motivations of the police to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut is understandable.
It can be very difficult to account for human actions but to my mind, Lenin’s cynical reference to useful idiots is one to keep in mind.
However, in this case, I think it requires an implausible stretch of the imagination to that the murder of the U.S. ambassador and his colleagues was planned by forces in the U.S. itself – just as it is implausible to thing that the demolition of the World Trade Center was organised by President Bush himself.
In both cases, the only rational explanation is that both were organised and carried out by Muslims and that they were motivated by the Islamic teachings contained in in the Koran.
As for the doings of the British police – think ‘useful idiots’. The answer to the question of who in their situation is the parallel of Lenin is that there is no single individual. Instead the finger points first at the general stupidity of the left and of the politically correct who infest out universities, politicians and media. In addition there is the likelihood that to some extent many of them are in the pockets of Middle Eastern, oil oligarchs who in turn are subservient to Wahhabi Muslim clerics. A complex and very alarming situation that too many people sweep under the carpet and ignore.
I think Kate is a foolish woman sun-bathing topless. All the latest evdence points to the danger of exposing the skin to sunshine, and the breast area is particularly sensitive. If she was just Mrs Bloggs, I couln’t care less or bother to post here, but unfortunately other equally foolish young women are impressionable and will want to copy this ‘role model’.
AWK – Yes, it was ill-judged from several points of view.
On my drive home from my appointment at the doctor’s surgery this evening, I switched on radio 4’s PM at 5PM and heard the voice of Eddie Mair speaking in a sombre funereal tone of voice, so melancholy in fact that I expected to hear seriously tragic news.
But no, he was simply reporting that a third rate USA made film had been deeply offensive to the prophet Mohamed.
How can a man who has been dead for 1,380 years be offended by anything?
I am sick to death of the way that the BBC tiptoes about trying never to offend these backward people.

On the conspiracy theory: yes, but as I said I had just finished reading John Le Carré’s novel, Absolute Friends. With regard to your conclusion as to the reasons for the hounding of Tommy Robinson, I think you are probably right; somebody seems clearly to have given the order ‘Hound!’ and must have been in the pocket of someone.

Malfleur –
I ever there were lucid evidence that concerning Islam, America (and the U.K., not to mention most of western Europe) are living in suicidal Cloud Cuckoo Land, that article in the Jerusalem Post sums it up – loud and clear.
Verity – Your computer must be operating better than mine. I clicked on the link at least four times, and each time, after several seconds, the screen went black and it shut down. I try not to be paranoid, but the difficulties we’ve both encountered are enough to make me suspect that some government agency in the U.S. has planted some sort of virus in the Jerusalem Post site to prevent us reading the article. I have however managed to read it in full by resorting to using a second computer running a different program – and I’ve taken the opportunity to download the article for future reference. I’m also going to print it on paper to make sure it’s preserved.

====================
Mrs Armstrong is not in the military service, so I don’t think anything.
We continue hereupon, as we have done for a decade or more on this and other platforms, to post and link informed analysis of the of the inexorable and accelerating threat of the global Islamic jihad, as events unfold – augured by many on this blog and elsewhere in the ‘sphere.
What we have described – and our prognostications – are backed up by irrefutable evidence, some of it bloody, immediate and ongoing.
Meanwhile the mainstream media in the West continues to act as the propaganda agency of the enemy, promulgating lies about the motivation of the mobs, marshalled by the mullahs through the Muslim Brotherhood networks around the world, to make coordinated attacks on Western interests in the Middle East – on the anniversary of the Twin Towers declaration of War on the West eleven years ago this autumn week.
The politicians of the West, through their idiotic policies, continue to finance and arm the enemy all around the Muslim world and not only put one of our own Royal Family in harm’s way in the badlands of unconquerable territory, but then broadcast the boasts of the Taliban when they allegedly make an aborted attempt to assassinate him.
What is the general response of the Western ‘diplomacy’? Well … in short, to apologise for a film-maker who depicted the life of Mohammed accurately (albeit tackily) using the reported writings and utterances of the child rapist himself and what is described in the ‘holy’ book of the creed by which their murderous cult exists. Any such film was bound to be tacky, but our laws permit such free expression, however clumsily expressed.
However, the upshot to all this is that the film maker has now been arrested, while numerous members of the enemy who have domiciled in Western countries, including our own, are given column inches and screen time to justify the jihad and promote our Dhimmitude.
The fact that had that film not been made, then some other instance of truth and revelation on the Samizdat of the internet would have been used to step up the jihad on September 11th, seems to have escaped the understanding of those in ‘allied’ governments and the media, who jointly continue to perpetrate the treasonous lie that the riots around the world are as a result of the provocation of an amateurish Hollywood film, rather than the ongoing strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood, a cunning organisation that is devoted to the downfall of the “American Hegemony”, the annihilation of the Jewry at large and Israel in particular.
One hopes that the American electorate is not so stupid that it will continue to allow the current traitor in the White House to remain in office beyond his current term. The blood runs cold the thought that he may well gull them again, as the alternative candidate in wet and ineffectual.
As for our own government, the problem is even worse, as I see no immediate, alternative successor to Cameron that is likely to ward off the inevitability of a Marxist Miliband administration with a Hermann Goering* doppelganger as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Fuck the rest! Let them all wallow in their stupidity; let those that are younger address the infamy of their chosen leaders for it is their world that is being despoiled, the world of my youth that was worth protecting is long gone.

Sitting here in the heart of darkest Africa watching the filtered world news on everything from BBC World to Canal, it seems the followers of the perv are all up in arms over something that seems, from here, very close to the truth.
If they don’t like their founder and inspiration called names and attacked roundly based upon his words, actions and deeds, then perhaps they should reconsider the wording in their little book of hate, have a quick review and see if their cultural memories can be civilised leaving them with a modicum of face and then stop acting like spoiled little kids who dodn’t like being called names.
Alternatively, the West could adopt the stance where I am and wipe the bastards of the face of the planet every time any of their number stick their heads above the parapet and upset the powers-that-be.
Politically-correct this place ain’t. Misbehave and the local cop will throw you in his jail – a 40 foot steel shipping container – where you will stay until collected by the local equivalent of a paddy wagon, guaranteed to be within 72 hours. Very little misbehaviour. No delinquency. Polite kids.
Temperature currently in the low 40’s. 72 hours in a steel box is a great incentive to maintain law order.

http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG9543557/Samantha-Cameron-donates-her-Burberry-Royal-Wedding-Dress-to-Save-The-Children.html
Maybe she was just glad to get rid of the dress. At the Royal Wedding, she was the only woman of the official party who didn’t wear a hat, she and Davey boy having apparently intuited that the average woman (none of whom they know) would feel intimidated if Sam, in her grandeur, wore a hat. They don’t know that every British woman’s first thought on being invited to a wedding is, “Oh! I’ll need a new hat!”
So she turned up at Wetminster Abbey in a dress that looked as though she was going to lunch at Harrods, no hat and shoes that didn’t cover up her tacky tattoo. And she thinks the nation will be grateful for her donating this awful get-up to the Save The Children Fund. I guess the dustmen had a look at it for their wives and turned it down.
Talking of hats, I tip mine to this wonderfully controlled summary, by Mark Steyn, of Obama’s reaction to the massacre of his Ambassador and others in Libya:

Lesley C – Well, anyway, she is “donating” the dress to the Save The Children. Possibly as an object lesson to Save from Children from Bad Taste.
My final word on the Topless Princess. She had enough brains to snare the most desirable husband in Britain, but since then she appears to have become topless. A woman who has past her thirtieth birthday, and who has surely been schooled in the way to act in public, has seemed to have lost her head, and with it her brains. Topless!
AWK – Are you sure she’s past 30?
Also, yes, she is well schooled in how to act in public. She never puts a foot wrong. But she wasn’t in public. She was on an immense private estate, protected by a bunch of police. Her military advisors ought to have warned her about long distance lenses, etc.

The Duchess was born 9 January 1982, so she is 30 years old plus 9 months. She has behaved very foolishly, and it must have affected William badly, in view of his late mother’s history. Surely common sense tells one not to expose oneself where long-range cameras can operate. An open balcony is not a secure place, and she should have chosen a walled garden. Of course it is all a storm in a tea cup, and when the next royal does an expose it will blow away!
I do agree with you, AWK, that it was stupid and … I’m puzzled. She more than anyone, should be aware of how hazardous lolling around anywhere that can be reached by a TV camera is. She may have felt that because she was so far away from the road, she was safe. Long-range lenses aren’t the first thing that pop into everyone’s mind, although, given the recent history of the family, you are correct to say that she was rather stupid by not being more aware. Also, her advisors should have told her to get back indoors.
15 years ago I just found socialists mildly irritating.

It is extraordinary that a pair of unremarkable breasts could excite so much headline grabbing attention. The real story is, as always, with Islam, the horrific danger that the West’s rulers treat as though it were a wasp at a picnic.

The inference to be drawn from the failure at the other place to address the recent opening of flowers in the Arab Spring, which Frank P could only find a suitable place to comment on at Sebastian Payne’s thread on A.

An interesting point from Malfleur at 2:08 … in which he/she notes that Fraser Nelson has not yet been instructed by the Channel Islands twins on what to say … It’s interesting from several points, the first being, why did he Barclay Brothers buy The Speccie, an old, respected, conservative, highly political magazine in the first place? An old, literate, staunchly conservative publication doesn’t seem to fit their bill in any way. Surely they don’ think any one of the writers they employ has the talent to sway thinking people?
The choice of bland Fraser Nelson as editor is … odd. He has no powers of suasion, and he has no ability to put an interesting publication together. Indeed, it has become more rag tag the longer he has been editor. I simply can’t imagine anyone stopping off at the newsstand and buying it any more … never mind actually taking the trouble, and the risk, of subscribing and buying into 12 months of stodgy, predictable boredom.

Your posting filled me with sadness. I hate to see something good ‘go to pot’. Rather like the once great department stores which graced Oxford and Regent Streets, and now reduced to rubbishy bazaars. The wonderful art-deco facades which were the portals to the Lyons Corner Houses, and now dreadful junk food feeding troughs. The elegant cinemas where youthful dreams were formulated and middle-aged despair forgotten for a few hours, now they are diminished into ‘studios’ where popcorn is consumed in containers fit for bovine appetites. So now the “Spectator” the once edgy, smart, entry to the world of exotic intellectual characters, now with boring writers who seem stolen from a ‘Mother’s Weekly’ publication, and dominated by trolls with pseudo-Greek nom de plumes. It’s like watching the Titanic go down.
What a tragic post, AWK. I have been away so long that I have witnessed none of the decay of the staunch, elegant, impressive old buildings, nor seen shops that once sold lovely, or smart, clothes and accessories diminished to bargain bin boxes for louts. And cinemas diminished to feeding troughs.
I do not know of other cities that have degenerated so in other countries. Singapore is as smart as you could possibly dream of, as is Jakarta. And most American cities, save the grisly areas which have always been grisly, have an upmarket feel in the centres and lots of smart little restaurants and bars.
Why did Britain sink so low?
Verity – perhaps the answer to your last question might be found by having a closer look at the populace that swarm in those ‘grisley’ areas of American cities and pondering why such a large swathe of white, western youths seek to emulate the scum that cannot even be bothered to pull their trousers up properly.

In his lecture on the reasons for the destruction of classical civilization by the muslims for which I posted the link at the Gates of Vienna some days ago, Dr. Bill Warner that the tide only began to turn against the invasion when, in Spain for instance, it began to move into the more barbarian outreaches of the Roman Empire in the north.
Although we have barbarians to today in the West, and plenty of them, they are of the coddled, consumer-oriented variety.
Where today though shall we find barbarians ready, willing and able to take on the floods of islamic immigrants and refugees?

Having just returned to Britain after a spell in South Africa, I went to the cinema on Saturday night, in Piccadilly Circus.
Walking into the Trocadero, which smells of chip fat and sweets, I was immediately shocked by how run down and dingy this tourist attraction is. I had ordered my tickets online at home, but the machine used to retrieve the prepaid tickets at the cinema was out of order. I was directed in a Pakistani accent so thick I could not understand it (even after three attempts at getting the employee to repeat himself) to a general counter where the only white employee managed, after a lot of hassle, to print me out my tickets. Then onto the drinks section, where another non-British employee told me that I could get a large drink instead of a medium sized one for an extra 35p. The overall cost for a large lemonade? £5.
Next, into the cinema. Film begins. Am stunned as people continue to talk and crunch loudly on popcorn and other hideous smelling lard-and-sugar confections. All the way through the film. A man asks one group of people to be quiet. They throw a half full bucket of popcorn at the man, some of it goes over me. For the rest of the film, the group make continuous nose which never stops.
I decide to ask cinema staff to intervene. Unfortunately, the knowledge of english by the cinema staff is next to none, so the bird chested english girly boy has to promise that “something will be done”.
Nothing is done until the end of the film when a huge fight breaks out in the cinema foyer.
I then made my way home past endless groups of drunk, pot-bellied men and scantily clad, even drunker women, with the sound of shouting and broken glass in the air.
Despite what people tell you about South Africa, and it does have problems, it is overall a much happier place than Britain, which I no longer consider to be sophisticated. To think that people save up and spend huge chunks of money to visit this shit hole!
It makes me very sad.
Dean Street … It is some years since I determinded never to set foot in degraded Britain again. The worst part is, it was degraded intentionally and with malice.
Dean Street: Sadly, I dread summer because the scantily-clad chav females wear even less than usual, and the stench of their abused bodies insults one’s senses. Even worse, they all now sport tatoos, and their flesh resembles butcher’s meat which has been stamped with inedible inks. The men go shirt and vestless and horrible white chests are displayed with undeserved pride. Trousers, as usual hang down and the cleft between buttocks is visible, as are terrible pot-bellies. For once, I wish the burka was obligatory wear in Britain.

Desirable as your suggestion about oil is, it seems (to my mind) that an even more necessary and urgent step is to forbid the practice and presence of Islam in all western countries.
Some people are still saying that Enoch Powell was right, but it also seems (to me) that he foresaw only a minor and manageable problem.
The problem we are faced with now is an immeasurably greater disaster.
Islam is now waging actual war on us.
Despite this, the Establishment fools running our countries are either quite unaware of it, or have been bought. In either case they are fanatically determined to believe – and to make everybody believe – that the problem does not exist.
I shall not feel surprised if the time comes, and quite soon, when in Britain a few people will no longer say “Enoch was right” but will instead say “Breivk was right” – and if the police overhear it, they will treat it as a blasphemy against either political correctness or Islam: one so dreadful that whoever said it will automatically be either shot, stoned to death or beheaded.

Escalating territorial disputes in Asia, such as the one between China and Japan, could trigger wider conflicts, the US defence secretary warns.
The above BBC headlines got me thinking. London has a Chinatown in Soho, and it is a lovely place and a joy to visit. I was born in Soho and have a natural affinity to Chinese food, so I love to shop in the vegetable markets which specialise in Chinese goods. However, I have noticed that Japanese sushi bars are taking over many high streets, and I’ve observed other old established oriental eating places closing down. Is this all a part of the Sino-Japanese turf war?

The reluctance of the Coalition government to curb immigration and insist on an increase in the quality of those allowed to immigrate suddenly made sense.

Rarely Has an International Crisis Been More Predictable
By Steve McCann
Rarely has an international crisis and potential for a regional conflict been more predicable than what the world is witnessing in the Middle East and North Africa. The naiveté, ignorance and narcissism of Barack Obama coupled with his and other world leaders’ despicable deference to radical Islam has eventuated in creating the Balkans of the 21st Century, whose counterpart in 1914 became the tinderbox that enflamed the globe as World War I; a war whose consequences are still felt to this day.
Barack Obama, determined to become the Muslim world’s best friend, has instead unleashed the dogs of war in the Middle East. He has actively backed the overthrow of various governments in the vain and naïve hope that the extreme radical element of Islam would not step into the resultant leadership vacuum. He has essentially told Iran, that they are free to develop nuclear weapons and to meddle in the affairs of Lebanon, Syria and whatever country they choose with no consequences. He has given Hamas and the Palestinian Authority a green light to confront Israel, as U.S. policy is now to browbeat and intimidate the Israelis to accept any agreement while demanding their acquiescence to Iranian nuclear capability. He has willfully created a power and influence void into which Russia has now stepped.
Barack Obama has signaled, by his numerous apologies and adolescent groveling, that the United States is no longer engaged and is willing to be deferential to all the nations of the region regardless of their potential threat to America or the West, including Israel now essentially isolated and alone.
In his Cairo speech in 2009, Obama shamelessly blamed the West for all the problems with Islam and never once used the words; terrorism, terrorist, war on terror or radical Islam. Earlier in the same year he met secretly with the Muslim Brotherhood, the progenitor of Hamas and Al Qaeda, thus legitimizing them with a wink and a nod.
Once the riots in 2011 began in Egypt and other North African countries, regardless of what may have triggered them, the Islamists knew they had nothing to fear from the United States as the American president and his administration had made no meaningful overtures to the true democratic elements in those countries that were governed by dictatorial rulers friendly to the interests of the United States. Obama chose instead to appeal to the radical element believing that by the sheer force of his personality and persuasion the Islamists would change their spots.
While playing the game with Washington, the radicals knew if they could get the population into the streets they could exacerbate the situation to their advantage. Today in Egypt what began as student and middle class demonstrations in the spring of 2011 has evolved into a government dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
With Obama’s determination to rid Libya of Muammar Gaddafi, without any potential moderate leadership waiting in the wings, he has provided a potential sanctuary for Al Qaeda and unleashed ancient tribal animosity.
Not only have the most radical elements of Islam now found homes other than in the mountains and caves of Afghanistan, Israel is surrounded by: Lebanon and Hezb’allah, Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood, and Syria dominated by the Iranian Islamists. All whose sole mission in life is to destroy Israel, impose sharia law throughout the region, and re-institute the old Muslim Caliphate. Their motivation is based on religious fanaticism, the most dangerous driver of human behavior.
To anyone who paid attention to this region and the virulent spread of radical Islam, their infiltration into Europe and the attacks on the United States, this potential outcome was self-evident. Barack Obama and other leaders in the West refused to believe the worst could happen, a belief that still motivates the American president. This was the same mindset which permeated the psyche of Neville Chamberlain and other politicians in Western Europe in the 1930’s, as they refused to believe the Nazis were who they said they were.
Had Obama bothered to study history, he would have also realized that the overthrow of governments in nations without a long-term tradition of democracy has resulted a prolonged periods of upheaval and violence. That scenario has been repeated throughout the twentieth century from the initial Russian Revolution in 1917, which eventuated in the communist takeover and the death of untold millions throughout the world, to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, which opened the door to the current despotic theocracy in Iran, the modern day wellhead of today’s radical Islamic movement.
Far more than those European leaders in the 1930’s who were guilty only of naiveté, the ego and narcissism of a national leader imbued with a messianic mindset determined to change his country and the world is a threat in a dangerous and unstable world. In Barack Obama the people of the United States elected as president, and by default the leader of the free world, such a person.
He has revealed this mindset by his inability to accept any responsibility during the entire term of his presidency for the outcome of his policies and actions either domestic or foreign. This chronic character flaw has eventuated in Obama’s latest obeisance to the radical Islamists. He has unleashed the police power of the state on the producer of a film conveniently and falsely blamed for the violence in the Muslim world, as if this obscure person had committed a crime for exercising his free speech rights. All this in an attempt to place blame elsewhere and placate a mob who will be further emboldened by this contemptible sign of weakness. That this is reminiscent of those actions expected in a nation controlled by despots is immaterial, as Barack Obama has, in his mind, a destiny to fulfill.
There will be a violent conflict in the Middle East. It is only a matter of time. The only question that remains is whether it will spread beyond the confines of the region. When the history of these times is written, Barack Obama will have heaped upon his shoulders a lion’s share of the responsibility for the death and destruction certain to occur.

China not so smart after all?
“…. China may have to muddle through the downturn after all with less extra juice than hoped. This will be sobering. The country’s cost advantage over America – and others – has vanished.
A new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers entitled “A Homecoming for US Manufacturing” claims it is now cheaper for whole clusters of US industry to produce at home, close to their markets. Firms are “re-shoring” — to use the vogue term — to cut transport and inventory costs and take advantage of cheap shale gas. The weaker dollar has iced the cake….”

No; they cannot be wrong. you see.

He is the chosen one. Unto Death ….
We must turn all four cheeks and present every orifice for the use of ‘those we have exploited through our colonialism’ – in reparation, of course. Having read in recent years the narrative of the fall of all civilisations that have waxed and waned over the ages, there cannot be one that was as suicidal as ours. The only thing that puzzles me is why the enemy uses violence at all, when ovine creatures that we are, we are already submitting and bleating in flocks. I suppose that it is a measure of the brutailty that has been bred into these barbarians, that even in victory over a supine ‘adversary’ they must sate their bloodlust. One hopes that Israel will soon trigger the fight back. I doubt it. The stoicism of the Jewry at large is understood throughout the world and many Jews, ingrained in the fabric of what’s left of Western civilisation, are already seeking ways to accommodate their potential new rulers and do business with them. Even in Israel there is no consensus about whether they should nip Persia in the bud, before it achieves its WMD (and this time – that is actually what they will become, rather than hypothetically). We’re lucky Anne, we’ve had comparatively enjoyable lives with the top dogs of the world. Sadly our children will become the mongrel curs. Those of us that have known what was coming down the pike should have done more and said less.

Dear Frank,
Here I go trying to answer your posting as best I can. Again, I agree with your observations, and am sad that so many of my fellow Jews have been ‘civilised’ by Western culture and are prepared to act the white man with barbarian ignoramuses. In America, there are the Woody Allens and Barbara Streislands leading the kindly, liberal Jewish assholes to suck up to Obama, and to shed all pride and sanity before the ragheads. Britain, of course, has its Miriam Margolyses, Srephen Frys and the late unmourned Pinter, who join hands with the marxist Millibands to join hands with the ‘poor oppressed Palestinians’. Israel is a democracy, so traitors and lunatics are free to demand the destruction of their homeland. Unhappily it seems democracy has been the noose which has strangled all patrotism and moral values from Western society.

Wish I could share your optimism. I’ve been following the American Media; apart from Fox, it is in the tank for Obama. As the incumbent he has the advantage from the get-go. As a mulatto who has been adopted by the blacks, the advantage is enhanced. And because the majority of the electorate has already tasted the Kool Aid, I can’t see how he can lose. The events of the past few days should have holed him below the water line. It doesn’t seem to have ‘sploded. If the the US electorate don’t get it by now, they just ain’t gonna get it. And Romney isn’t about to fire up a revolution. He’s a stiff. There’s no doubt he’s a better alternative to the current traitor, but then who wouldn’t be?
Frank P – Let’s not prognosticate too soon. Obama is an immensely unattractive man. Many people who think they’re going to vote for him because he’s not a Republican may well end up sitting in front of the TV on election day and not going anywhere near a polling booth.
From what my friends say, there doesn’t seem to be any enthusiasm for him other than among the black voters. He may squeeze in, but I don’t think he is going to do as well as his people and the lefty journalists are predicting.
Hmmm; we’ll see. Only 50 days to wait.
Gerard is getting a little impatient over on American Digest. He friends the the commentators are getting even more impatient. Who can blame them?

Samantha Cameron doesn’t just have a repulsive tattoo, but very thick ankles and feet. She should not draw attention to her bad points, like her face, for example, and her clothes sense.
She is the perfect match for Dave Blancmange. The Ugh Factor. Also, she shouldn’t go to fashion shows where she will be photographed among pretty models who are beautifully coiffed, made-up and well-dressed and don ‘t have ankle tattoos.
Anna Wintour is older than time, by the way. No offence.

If those articles and pictures were published by the mainstream media and Western Civilisation had even a residual spark of spunk left over from the Second World War, then every Mosque and every madrassa in the West would be confiscated tomorrow, closed – and every Imam returned the country from which they, or their parents came along with their congregations (for logistical details see Austin Barry’s excellent plan delineated yesterday).
But there is no such spark, other than from the fingers of old farts such as you and me who still love the notional country that existed when we were born. The minds of our children and theirs have, over half a century or more, been captured and polluted by the most insidious propaganda campaign devised in the history of the human race. Thus the greatest experiment ever devised by humanity – that of universal freedom of the individual – has finally failed and the lights are indeed being extinguished globally by the unholy alliance of dual evil cults: Islam and Communism (under all the euphemistic labels), assisted by the useful idiots who seem to think that if they bury their heads up their own fundaments they will feel no pain.
That is my diagnosis in a nutshell, which is unlikely to be accepted as valid by anybody outside our small circle of philosophical outlaws. As for the prescription and prognosis, it seems that there are simply not enough cojones around in he West to put into the mix of medication (or meditation, even) that would be necessary to effect the cure.
Here’s another picture that should spark the necessary conflagration; but it won’t:

Your link at 10:31 corroborates the Fox News story which I noted at 20:43.
In my view, this thing has to blow the Obama maladministration wide open. I would not be surprised if the president does not fall under a bus either metaphorically or otherwise in the next 50 days.
Romney’s point on 47% pf the electorate thinking they are victims, by the way, is the mirror image of the situation in the UK where the Labour Party (and possibly the Coalition) are trying to build a permanent majority of those having government jobs or receiving government largesse.
When I am in hopeful mood, I am awaiting Isaac Newton’s 3rd lae of physics to kick in…still waiting.
Incidentally, why move Prince Harry out of Camp Bastion, as has just been announced. Let him earn his spurs for God’s sake – good for the monarchy, good for the fight against leftist-islamo fascism, good for morale in the British Army.
The forces of darkness now focus on undermining and discrediting their opposition rather than arguing their own policies. The Romney gaffe is a classic example of this slow drip feed of “revelations” in the USA and here, spun by the media to put the worst possible slant on it and one which will not fail to take root in the dumbed down idiocracy that the left have created. Like the totalitarian communist states of Eastern Europe they become paranoid about opposition and desperate to eradicate it, rather than demonstrating why they should succeed.
Of course it is difficult to argue for the endless reinforcement of failure so instead they try to eradicate opposition to it. This is why the disgusting reptile telemachus spends so much time stalking, lurking and harassing. He is far more concerned with what you might say here and there than in putting forward any kind of cogent argument (beyond slogans) for his ridiculous beliefs.
When an Assistant Chief Constable reports on TV that “in a routine incident, two unarmed female officers were attending a report that shots were being fired, one of the officers was shot dead and another critically injured” one wonders about whether the phraseology of the ACC is deficient, or whether the Armed Services now serving in Afghanistan should be brought home to protect the citizens of Greater Manchester, rather than the enemy over there and the senior command structure of GMP sacked on the spot.
A fucking routine incident!!!???
Grrrrr. Arse covering already – and with a piece of holed tissue paper, to boot!
My sympathies to the surviving officer and to the families of each of them.
Whilst one TIU is white-washed out of the Met with his pension intact, another is shot dead in Manchester. Police searching for a murderous piece of low-life complained the public wouldn’t give them information to help them catch the scum.
Why the surprise? Twice in the last few months, innocent victims defending themselves, their families and their properties have been arrested by the useless not-fit-for-purpose storm-troopers of the politically-correct. Why would any sane person involve themselves with what New Labour created and which likes to call itself a service? They’re so incompetent, the first thing they’d likely do is pass your name onto the bad guys brief.
No sensible person wants anything to do with these uniformed dead-heads and their political masters. In this latest incident, the bullies had their flak jackets, no doubt tazers and their usual arrogance. The scum had a gun and, allegedly, grenades. How does this happen? Why are weapons easily available to shites but forbidden to the honest and law-abiding?
It is time two things happened. Firstly, the citizenry must be permitted to re-arm and defend themselves, their families and their property. Then all the arrogant wastes-of-space employed to keep the Queens Peace must be assessed, reviewed and, where necessary, removed. Until the UK has a force designed and defined to protect the ‘silent majority’, especially against the political classes, there will be no peace and safety for the population at large.
Frank P 03.21. Precisely, and as I have been saying for around six or eight months now.
Take their power … oil … away from them at once. Annex the oilfields, land transport (roads and vehicles), ports and airports. Exclude them from production zones under pain of immediate shooting with no arrest and no trial.
This goes for all the oil producing companies. We should have been working on other means of power for at least the last 20 years, but there was plenty of oil, so we didn’t.
We should also be developing, poste haste, Canada, especially Alberta, and Alaska. When these are sufficiently developed, we need to bomb the Saudi and other ME eastern oilfields, possibly nuke them. Anyway, render them useless and unredeemable.
This is a war of aggression and absolute power and they cannot possibly win unless we allow them to.
At the same time, all Arabs and other muslims, like the dull-witted, primeval Pakis, for example, need to be sluiced out of Britain. For sure, France would follow suit. They’re loathed in France even more than they are loathed in Britain.
Why flood your ancient, civilised country with Stone Agers? If we want their oil, we do what our ancestors would have done in other circumstances. Take it.
And every mosque in Britain has to be the victim of a controlled explosion, especially when it is full of bums in the air.
And that slimy shit Obama has to be relieved of his duties pronto. Find a cause, false if necessary, to imprison him.
Clear Memories writes: “It is time two things happened. Firstly, the citizenry must be permitted to re-arm and defend themselves, their families and their property.”
Forget the “permitted” part. The electorate is the boss. If they choose to arm themselves en masse, they should do so. The police are very respectful to an armed citizenry.
One police prat who was just hired to fill in the 24 news cycle, just waffled on about how the alleged perpetrator of this double murder (and it has still to be established who shot them at this stage) giving himself up, implying that it was because he finally realised how wicked he had been. My own speculation is that the bastard felt that he stood more chance of surviving in the police station than he would be if confronted by an armed posse in the street.
Ah, well, to take our minds off he sleazy David Cameron, Tony Blair, the pakis, the British police, British schools where free speech is not allowed … this might give you an early afternoon semi-giggle …

Two unarmed police women sent out to investigate a potentially lethal situation. Result two dead police women. Rather than the bunches of flowers and teddie bears which are probably already being laid out by chavy neigbours, pity the police officer in charge of this operation isn’t being laid out in his/her box!
I know that I should not pass this on but what the hell.
I was in a pet shop last week, when I noticed a Muslim with the most amazingly coloured parrot perched on his shoulder…
“Where did you get that from?” I asked,
“Bradford, there’s bloody thousands of them!” — said the Parrot…!!
Once again I saw that horrible rat meat on TV News. However, I have been thinking (always dangerous)! The rats are Cane Rats, considered a delicacy in Africa, and I suppose each to his own. I find it horrifying that squirrels, a rodent closely related to rats. is actually being caught and eaten in this country. Many call squirrels ‘rats without tails’, so who are we to condemn the rubbish others eat?

Ooops! I said thinking was dangerous. Of course I meant rats WITH tails!!!! 🙂
But Anne, surely rats have tails as well?
I’d rather have a rat in my house than an Arab. They’re intelligent, quick-thinkers, have nice intelligent eyes and actually, I find them rather sweet. They just go about their business of finding food, building little nests and feeding their families.
Followers of mo, on the other hand … kidnap little girls, butcher little girls, rape little girls, kill people who don’t worship their dafty desert diety … award “virgins” to people who kill people who don’t worship mo.
My cats agree, but I would never let a cat hurt a mouse. Followers of mo, well that’s a different consideration.

AWK – No they’re not. They’re sweet, mostly slender, quick witted and highly intelligent. They can think fast. I don’t like their scaly tales, but I like both mice and rats. They are several notches up on David Cameron and Tony Blair. For one thing, they have charm.

“Ahmad Fouad Ashoush issued his religious edict, saying “I issue a fatwa and call on the Muslim youth in America and Europe to do this duty, which is to kill the director, the producer and the actors and everyone who helped and promoted the film.”…

If you are thinking of going to Egypt (and who is not?) when you get there don’t insult anyone.
As it may be difficult to know if what you are saying is insulting, best not to speak.
As gestures may be insulting, I would also suggest that you keep your arms to your side at all times when in the presence of anyone else, and keep your feet on the ground. Do not turn your back on anyone and be careful not too bow too obsequiously to any official, jobsworth,terrorist, hotel porter, or other person of any or no authority – it might be misinterpreted as sarcasm.
Eyes should preferably be kept downcast and when avoiding lamp posts be careful not to wink, blink, open both eyes too wide. or roll them upwards in such a manner as to show the whites – any such movement may be misconstrued.
Do not even think about dalliance (with the opposite sex).
In the event of being unable to follow the last afore-mentioned instruction, ears may be wiggled, but discretely.
If you make an annoying friend named Mohammed, be particularly not to express your annoyance, but above all do not lose control and say: “Mohammed, you’re a bloody idiot!”

Have come home to Colchester and it seems everyone including the police knows who killed Jay Whiston. Only issue is proof, since it’s not acceptable to put a bit of pressure on suspects nowadays it comes down to who is going to have the balls to tell the truth.

“Rats with PR” is the expression I’ve heard.
Pigeons, by the way, have been dubbed “Rats with wings”.
These news report are just two of many carrying the same information –

It seems to me that to urge people in another country to murder U.S. (and other countries’) citizens is an act that has the very same basic nature as do the activities of Al Quaeda members who plan things like 9/11 and the London tube and bus bombings.
It makes me wonder – are we likely to hear that President Obama is authorising the use of U.S. Drones to eliminate both this cleric called Ahmad Fouad Ashoush and the Iranian Hassan Sanei and his associates?
