Jeremy Corbyn vs Donald Trump

The way things are going, this could be a real possibility. For the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition to boycott the visit of the President of the United States of America is a very serious matter. Direct attacks like the ones launched by Emily Thornberry against President Trump and none other than the Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow is no laughing matter. We are talking about very serious issues involved the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the emphasis on foreign policy.

This is not merely an issue of liking or not liking President Donald Trump. This is about the British Nuclear Deterrent and the whole Defence Strategy in Europe. One has to think that Emmanuel Macron's rush to lead the way towards the establishment of EU Armed Forces and an Independent EU Foreign Policy has a lot to do with the concerns generated by Jeremy Corbyn's ideological stances.

While the attention is focused on Brexit, President Trump's visit to the United Kingdom is undoubtedly about reassurances regarding Britain's position facing the possibility of Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. It is expected that a new Conservative Prime Minister will be in place by mid-year and a clear cut solution will be found to prevent the rise of Jeremy Corbyn. 

The Labour Party's Leadership is again under fire and the rise of both the Lib Dems on the Remain side and of the Brexit Party on the Leave side must have given some hope to the American Administration. President Trump has used warm words to describe his rapport with Boris Johnson as a potential Prime Minister and with Nigel Farage as Leader of the Brexit Party. 

Alastair Campbell has expressed the view that without a clear definition the Labour Party would be doomed in a General Election. Much has been said about Chancellor Philip Hammond talking about bringing down the Conservative government in case of No Deal but do those oppose to Jeremy Corbyn really want the Labour Party to win knowing that Jeremy Corbyn would be the next Primer Minister.

A very advantageous Trade Agreement between the USA and Britain would favour a No Deal option and could prevent the rise of Jeremy Corbyn. A No Confidence Vote against the Conservative government would be a geopolitical disaster. 

This is what Elton John thinks of people who voted Leave

This is what Elton John thinks of people who voted Leave

If you are a fan of Elton John who voted Leave, this is what he thinks of you. According to Elton John, people who voted Leave are "stupid, colonial English idiots".  

Do you like being insulted because of what you think or believe? Apparently, Elton John thinks that he can insult people because of the democratic choices that they make.

Crown Prosecution Service used for Political Purposes

Crown Prosecution Service used for Political Purposes

When the courts are used for political purposes, Britain is in serious trouble as this can have unintended consequences. There is a time when the Armed Forces will have to take over to restore order since so called mainstream political parties don't seem to be able to put an end to the mess. Anybody with enough money can play with the legal system because the legislation allows it and in the end the nation would face the tragic consequences.

Trust in politics is lost. Trust in Parliament is lost. The more the Crown Prosecution Services are used for the wrong reasons then trust in the Crown Prosecution Service will go down the drain. A growing number of people are reported to be willing to take justice into their own hands. A private prosecution process doesn't come cheap and therefore somebody has the cash to buy the Crown Prosecution Services for political purposes. They fear Boris Johnson could become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and they are ready to do whatever to prevent Boris Johnson from becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

A directive has been imparted directives to detect unwanted activities within the Armed Forces. Too late. The British Armed Forces have been infiltrated and paramilitaries are being trained. It is just a matter of time. It is an absolute disaster and the political establishment and the mass media are very much creating a fertile ground for Armageddon.  

 

They say EU is Environmental Champion. Not really.

They say EU is Environmental Champion. Is it?

Those standing for the EU say that Britain would be worse off and talk about seeking guarantees that once Britain is out of the EU environmental policies will be maintained and promoted. Well, research shows that EU has not been helping the environment but hampering the efforts to protect the environment. In fact, the European Commission has been blocking climate action and making things more difficult for those trying to promote environmental policies.

Fact: Most electricity produced in countries like Germany and Poland is produced with coal. After the nuclear accident in Japan, Germany turned even more to electricity produced using coal. This is the reality, the rest is ill informed political hypocrisy. France, instead, trusts nuclear power and meets most of its needs using nuclear power instead of resorting to gimmicks. 

All countries need a reliable supply of energy and speeches won't do but things can be a lot worse when the EU Commission itself is acting against alternatives to protect the environment.

The Nazi Milkshakes and others relevant issues

The Nazi Milkshakes and others relevant issues

When we accept or promote degrading acts against those we don't agree with we are promoting exactly what we say that we reject. We must respect all candidates and their supporters, we must have open debate without exclusions.

Britain is quickly becoming the new Weimar Republic because of lack of trust and widespread intolerance.

We have a responsibility to avoid excesses that could lead to tragedies.

This no longer about throwing milkshakes but the act of throwing things at people will produce an escalation of events. Lack of respect, physical aggression and ultimately death.

Prime Minister Theresa May on the way out. What next?

Prime Minister Theresa May on the way out. What next?

As Prime Minister Theresa May announces that she will be leaving as Prime Minister on June 7th 2019, the clock is ticking for President Donald Trump to unequivocally offer the United Kingdom a Trade Deal that will be so magnificent that it will prevent the rise of Marxist Prime Minister in the United Kingdom. 

I am sure that neither Republicans nor Democrats want to take the risk of Britain falling on the wrong side of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) at a time when both Germany and France favour the creation of a new arrangement that would make NATO redundant. If things go the way things are going, USA could find itself as minority of one in the United Nations Security Council and so much talked about Special Relationship could turn into something else.

A new Labour Government would have an agenda that it would be exactly the opposite of the USA agenda in many areas including Iran, Syria, Venezuela and the Middle East. As troubling as the situation is for Britain, it would be a lot more troubling for the USA.  

Danger ahead: National Action - you can ban a name but you cannot ban an idea

Danger ahead: National Action - you can ban a name but you cannot ban an idea

When in 2016 the then Home Secretary Amber Rudd decided to ban National Action and made membership of National Action a criminal offence, she didn't take into account that you can only ban names but banning names doesn't stop an idea from spreading even faster.

A few days ago, Lizzie Dearden writing for The Independent revealed that National Action factions are growing in number. So let's be clear. The then Home Secretary lacked the necessary expertise to deal with the issue and there was no one available to alert about the very serious mistake she was about to make.

After the court trials and the ban, followers of National Action simply went underground and out of sight they can become a lot more dangerous and especially when they are supported by present and former members of the British Armed Forces.

The fall from grace of mainstream political parties and the perception that the political classes have a completely different agenda that is incompatible with the expectations of the British Electorate have created an environment that is fertile ground for organisations like National Action to spread its ideas. Austerity leading to hardship condemning not just the unemployed but also those in employment to a struggle for survival creates exactly what National Action needs. People are fed up, disenfranchised, falling into the hands of loan sharks, feeling unfulfilled, forgotten and thrown aside. 

The news about bank branches closures, closure of branches of well-known retail companies, cuts affecting local schools, the failures of the Welfare State and other big items like the fall of British Steel affecting an estimated 25,000 families are exactly what National Action needs for recruiting ever more followers. There is the feeling of 'they don't care about us'. 

While the present Home Secretary Sajid Javid talks about an update of anti-terror legislation,  what we need is a better deal for families across the United Kingdom. A growing number of cases of suspected mental illness are the direct consequence of people living under enormous stress caused by financial difficulties. Repression will only make existing problems at lot worse. We need to deal with sub-employment - people at work that live in poverty.

By improving living conditions, we can improve physical and mental health, eliminating key factors that lead to extremism and terrorism. 

Peter Rushton and the Mole Thing

Peter Rushton and the Mole Thing

Peter Rushton: Fervent Nationalist or Long Standing Mole

Peter Rushton has usually presented himself as a fervent Nationalist and Holocaust Revisionist but suspicions have existed about his true calling and especially after an investigation was launched quite a few years ago in the days when Nicholas Griffin was a prominent figure in the British National Party.

He was often around following Nationalist personalities that included Jez Turner and Alison Chabloz and was present during court trials. 

Suffice to say that Sonia Gable - wife of Gerry Gable - was also a fervent Nationalist until she was found out as having gone to bed with the then National Front with the sole purpose of being close to the leadership to then reveal to others the inner thinking of  National Front with a view to sabotage the organisation. Much of the process of fragmentation of National Front was instigated by individuals like Sonia Gable that was happy to use her body to extract information.

John Tyndall - Former NF Leader and former BNP Leader

For a Jewess like Sonia Gable, joining National Front and engaging in forbidden relationships with National Front members and its Leadership was yet another example of the end justifies the means. To put it mildly, work didn't have to be a burden. It could be pleasurable and she got a lot of pleasure out of it.

There is a saying about "hiding in plain view is the best way to hide". Peter Rushton has been involved for some time with a publication called "Heritage and Destiny" that is one of the main sources of information for organisations like Searchlight and Hope Not Hate. If you needed a way to demonise anybody standing - in more than one way - Heritage and Destiny is heaven on earth because it provides everything Searchlight and Hope Not Hate might want in order to create and maintain stereotypes and Mr Peter Rushton is very much in charge of Heritage and Destiny. 

After following Alison Chabloz for some time, Peter Rushton and other individuals linked with Heritage and Destiny turned against Alison Chabloz because she dared to use her legal rights to appeal in the courts a sentence that she saw as unfair. Richard Edmonds - former NF, former BNP and presently member of NF under the leadership of Tony Martin is very much linked to Peter Rushton and closed ranks with him and others to attack Alison Chabloz. You would say that with friends like these  you don't need enemies. But then again, have they been friends or merely tools for others who have done their best (or their worst - depends on how you see it) to destroy the Nationalist Movement? 

Soon after this picture was taken near the Cenotaph in Central London (Richard Edmonds, Alison Chabloz and Tony Martin (present leader of National Front) appear on the right of the image)) - Richard Edmonds, Peter Rushton and Michele Renouf launched a series of ongoing visceral attacks against Alison Chabloz that organisations like Hope Not Hate have used to their delight. If the CAA didn't manage to destroy Alison Chabloz, Heritage and Destiny has been there to finish the job started by CAA. This fuels rumours that Heritage and Destiny is nothing more than a branch of Searchlight/Hope Not Hate and that "a well known male Nationalist that has been in fact a Mole for more than 25 years" is de-facto linked to Heritage and Destiny. Without mentioning names, the choices of who could be such Mole are self-evident given the aforementioned.

  

 

 

 

UK Political Tsunami?

IRAN: Yet another war?

IRAN: Yet another war?

The War in Afghanistan has been one of the longest conflicts having started in 2001 when the USA bombed Afghanistan and started a military campaign. In 2003, there was the illegal invasion of Iraq and several other conflicts across Africa, Middle East and Asia Minor followed. Now, another major conflict could be about to start and this time against Iran that shares a very long border with both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Some seem to be desperately trying to create more and more conflicts across the World. While this is happening the situation across Latin America is deteriorating. It would not be surprise if we see a return of military regimes across the board.

Europe itself is in political meltdown and political stability hangs in the balance as old uncertainties make a comeback. It seems that peace in Europe has lasted too long and that brushing contradictions under the carpet is not a long term solution. But things could be a lot worse if yet another major conflict erupts in Asia Minor. Major oil producing countries would be dramatically affected by such a conflict and we know that any conflict that affects vital energy supplies can cripple economies and political stability of neighbouring regions.

Austria bans Muslim headscarf in primary schools

Austria has passed a law intended to ban Muslim girls from wearing a headscarf in primary schools. The Jewish yarmulke and Sikh patka are not included in the new measure.

(source Deutsche Welle)

Austria's parliament has passed a law intended to ban Muslim girls from wearing the headscarf in primary schools, a measure that is likely to be challenged as discriminatory in the constitutional court.

The bill passed with the support of the governing center-right People's Party (ÖVP) and the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ). Almost all of the opposition voted against it. To avoid the impression that it targets Muslims, the text refers to any "ideologically or religiously influenced clothing which is associated with the covering of the head."

The government said late Wednesday that the patka head covering worn by Sikh boys or the Jewish yarmulke would not be affected because the law refers to head garments that "cover all of the hair or large parts of it." Exceptions are made for head coverings for medical reasons or protection against rain or snow.

Practicing Muslim girls usually begin wearing a headscarf at puberty, and the governing parties have admitted the law is intended for Muslim girls.

ÖVP lawmaker Rudolf Taschner said the law was meant to "free girls from submission," while FPÖ education spokesman Wendelin Mölzer said it was about sending a signal "against political Islam" and promoting integration. 

Former Social Democrat Party education minister, Sonja Hammerschmid, accused the government of trying to make headlines instead of resolving integration or education issues.

Austria's official Muslim community organization, IGGÖ, has said it would legally challenge the "destructive" law that "discriminates exclusively against Muslims."

The ÖVP and FPÖ formed a coalition in 2017 on a strong anti-immigration platform. The law was passed as Muslims celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.

On the said article there are two positions: 1) getting rid of headscarves would facilitate integration. 2)getting rid of headscarves doesn't help integration. Whichever position you agree with the fact remains that the way we dress has an impact in terms of how we interact with others. It has to do with differentiation. Here is the question: Do we feel prone to interact more with those we see as being like us or do we tend not to interact with those that look alien? 

Having gone through centuries of conflict based on religious beliefs, going around using garments as a statement of religious affiliation is not the best anyone can do if he or she intends to be seen as 'one of us'.  There is a historical example of how differentiation was used for political purposes. In the 1930s and 1940s, Jews were forced to have the symbol of the Star of David attached to their clothing so that they could be easily identified as Jews for the purposes of discrimination and persecution. 

EU: Das Vierte Reich in the making

EU: Das Vierte Reich in the making

Let's not beat around the bush. The purpose is clear for all to see. The rise of a new block that will be on a collision course with China, Russia and the US and presumably also on a collision course with the rest of the World. 

For those who dreamed about a peace project, this is starting to look like a project for war with its own Central Government and its own Armed Forces.

From the Common Market to promote trade between free nations to Military Alliance to prepare for a massive confrontation.

In the old days, European Nations went to war against each other. They won or lost wars, territories were partitioned or taken over depend on who was the winner and this was the way things went for a very long time. Now, we the rise of a blend of Axe and Entente that could have catastrophic consequences for those who belong to the blend of Axe and Entente and for those outside such arrangement. 

For those who believe in present arrangements with NATO as the guarantor of peace and security and not just in Europe but worldwide there is a major crisis in the horizon. As tensions rise in the Middle East and Asia Minor with the withdrawal of European forces from Iraq and elsewhere because of the confrontation of USA and some Gulf nations with Iran, other players will have to make very hard decisions. What will be Turkey's position, for example. During the second war against Iraq, Turkey wasn't very enthusiastic about it. Saddam Hussein was keeping the lid on Kurdish aspirations and the defeat of Saddam Hussein would lead to the de-facto partition of Iraq giving Kurds in Northern Iraq a free hand to help their own people in Turkey and elsewhere.

Whatever the Lib Dems and others can say about the European Union as a supporter peace, Centralised Power and the existence of European Union Armed Forces plus talk about 'uniting to stand up to China, Russia and US' are not about peace. It looks a lot more like preparation for War.

What do Americans think about the arrangement proposed? Let us remember that Isolationism was very much appreciated in the USA after the losses suffered in World War One. The American public didn't want to get involved in European Wars. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill had to make huge efforts to persuade the American public that the USA had to get involved in World War Two. Had not been for the Japanese attack in Pearl Harbour and the subsequent declaration of war issue by both Germany and Italy against the USA, it would have been extremely difficult to get the USA directly involved in Europe. Sending war materials including ships and tanks was one thing that the American people could accept with the proviso that it was merely a transaction that was going to be paid for. Sending their sons and daughters to die in an European war was quite another.

Now, according to Angela Merkel, the USA is a foe, something that the European Union must stand against. Disagreements in terms of trade are now combined with disagreements in terms of Foreign Policy. But how of Angela Merkel's war-like approach is real. Lets think for a moment about the relationship between Germany and the Russian Federation. The Poles and others are complaining that while EU countries suffer because of sanctions against the Russian Federation there is no clarity in terms of German/Russian relations when it comes to oil and gas. The USA itself has criticised Germany's approach regarding oil and gas acquired from the Russian Federation.

Despite all the aforementioned, public expressions that describe USA, China and Russia as foes are not reassuring.

The Royal Family is usually presented as the gem of Britishness in terms of glamour but it has had its fair share of shortcomings and tragedy. A life of wealth, power and privilege came together with a quota of suffering that was often hid from public view. 

Politics in Britain: When Politics is War

Politics in Britain: When Politics is War I have been following politics from a very early age. I have been in politics for more than half a century. I have in politics in the most extreme of circumstances. I have seen dirty tricks of all kinds and what happens in Britain today goes beyond dirty tricks. This is crowd manipulation when different standards are applied to every situation  If one side is harassed to the point of reacting it is said to be normal or even desirable. If those on the receiving end justifiably react when faced with harassment they are depicted as the aggressors.

Ezra Levant describes to perfection what is going on: Dear Karl, I hate watching the mainstream media cover Tommy Robinson’s election campaign to be the next Member of the European Parliament. The media is working hand-in-hand with Antifa rioters. Their street gangs attack Tommy when he’s out campaigning, but the media portray it as if Tommy’s the one causing trouble. Even worse, the police just stand back and let it all happen. They’d never let that happen to, say, Jeremy Corbyn. Those involved in demonising need to stop and think because their demonising campaign show very little respect or care for human life. There is a point when those in the mass media need to understand that as direct consequence of their kind of reporting people will get killed. Replace milkshakes with something else and you will see the picture. As we see people carrying knives and killing other people, it is also easy to imagine a disturbed individual knifing to death a candidate or a political activist or a journalist. A Journalist carries with him or her an enormous responsibility. A Police officer carries with him or her an enormous responsibility. When a Police officer stands aside, doing nothing for political reasons, a Police officer is failing in his or her duty of care. With every new incident, danger levels rise. We can continue passing legislation to presumably prevent Extremism but politicians and mass media are fomenting Extremism by promoting messages that exclude people simply because they - politicians and mass media - have a political agenda. The more we exclude people, the more disenfranchised people become, the more Extremism there will be. There is a point when frustration leads to anger and anger leads to violence. And this is exactly what is happening right now. The more repressive legislation becomes the more the potential for violence grows. You might not agree with a man like Tommy Robinson. You are duly entitled to disagree with anybody. You are not entitled to harass, attack or demonise anybody simply because you don't agree. Harassment, demonising, discrimination and even violence perpetrated against people the Political Establishment and the Mass Media that follow the Political Establishment don't like have become acceptable. This is not an environment for peaceful coexistence.

The Guardian: Jewish Brexit Party Candidate and Swastika

The Guardian: Jewish Brexit Party Candidate and Swastika

How many times the UAF, Hope Not Hate, politicians and mass media have called those supporting Brexit Nazi, Fascist, Racist et cetera, et cetera?

But... and it is a big BUT, oh surprise, Jewish people are standing as candidates for the Brexit Party and therefore the UAF, Hope Not Hate, politicians and mass media are calling Jewish people Nazi, Facist, Racist et cetera et cetera.

Now, none other than The Guardian is publicly stating that those who are are campaigning for Brexit are not Nazi, are not Fascist, are not Racist and that all crap spread by UAF, Hope Not Hate, politicians and mass media against those who stand in favour of leaving the European Union is crap. 

The constant labelling of politicians because of their positions regarding the relationship with the European Union is precisely what led to a Jewish candidate being called Nazi. I say that not only those who painted the Swastika should be investigated. The UAF should be investigated. Hope Not Hate should be investigated. UNITE should be investigated. All those who call British politicians whose only crime is to stand for what they believe in a Democratic society should be investigated because every time somebody is called a Nazi is the equivalent of painting a Swastika on the face of the said individual.

Politicised Police Forces that fail in their duty of care put everybody in danger

Message sent to Warrington Police, Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick and other relevant authorities

Dear Sir/Madam,

I witnessed events surrounding the presence of Tommy Robinson and given the failures of your officers – presumably there was a Commanding Officer at the scene – that completely failed in their duty of care there is the certain potential for a situation to get completely out of control with unwanted consequences.

There were several acts of aggression that you failed to tackle. Something thrown against an individual might appear to be an innocent act but it could trigger events that you wouldn’t want to occur– Tommy Robinson was hit and people who came to support him were hit including females that were attacked. When the said females sought help from a female Police Officer they were blatantly ignored by the said Police Officer. Several complaints made during the events were ignored by Police Officers.

It has been reported that because of his foolish action Danyaal Mahmud has put himself in mortal danger. If Police Officers had acted promptly and arrested Danyaal Mahmud, the whole incident could have been defused and trust in Police Forces would have being reinforced. Instead, Police Officers chose to ignore the incident. Danyaal Mahmud walked away and was filmed celebrating the incident. If anything were to happen to Danyaal Mahmud, Police Forces will be directly responsible. He acted foolishly and your Police Officers failed to do their duty.

There were other incidents. Female supporters were attacked and as I stated beforehand when they sought the cooperation of a female Police Officer they were ignored. When somebody reports to a Police Officer that he or she has been attacked and the Police Officer in question ignores him or her and moves away, what do you think members of the public think about the conduct of the said Police Officer and of the entire Police Force?

The misguided attitudes of Police Officers have not gone unnoticed and such blatant failures will further add to present levels of mistrust. The politization of Polices Officers will produce loss of life sooner than later. If Police Officers on the spot were given the order to ignore acts of aggression, the buck stops with the Commanding Officer/s that imparted such order.

The public mood has changed and tensions are rising. As tensions rise, prepare yourselves for unexpected undesirable events. Protesters that engage in acts of aggression make themselves a target for acts of violence as Action is followed by Reaction. During the recent campaign for local elections canvassers and candidates were attacked. Members of Parliament have expressed concerns fearing for their lives. It is not the role of the Police to play politics. Police should not take sides. A one-sided politicized approach to policing can certainly lead to fatal consequences because it encourages certain groups to become more daring and more aggressive as they believe that they have a license to attack politicians and their supporters.

Best regards

British Politics: When the two main political forces combined can barely manage to get 58% of votes cast the situation is pretty serious

British Politics: When the two main political forces combined can barely manage to get 58% of votes cast the situation is pretty serious

In times past, when the Conservatives were going under there was Labour waiting in the wings. When Labour was going under, the Conservatives were waiting in the rings. Now, we are facing a completely new scenario with both major political forces extremely divided and lacking the trust of the Electorate. In the end, everything depends on Leadership. Neither Jeremy Corbyn nor Theresa May have the support of the political parties they are supposed to lead and this makes both Labour and Conservatives unfit to govern.

The debacle in the local elections could be followed by an even bigger debacle in the European Parliament Elections. Some keep asking for a second Referendum when in fact the European Parliament Elections could be both the equivalent of a Referendum and of a General Election with two major alternatives based on the fundamental choices concerning the European Union. 

I have never experienced in Britain such a political scenario in which so called mainstream parties have appeared so dramatically downgraded. The Liberal Democrats fared well because there was a very low turnout. What will happen when other political forces namely the Brexit Party and the Change Party enter the political arena. Those wanting to Leave will have a clear choice called the Brexit Party. Those wanting to Remain will have a clear choice called the Change Party.

Since the whole process is going to be about Leaving or Remaining, voters will not be limited by the usual party political choices. The European Parliament Elections will not be about Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats or Greens. Those wanting to ensure that their choice regarding the European Union is the winning ticket will put aside their usual allegiances. 

In years past, people did not have to go to the Polling Stations twice in the same month: Local Elections on May 2nd 2019 and European Parliament Elections on May 23rd 2019. 

One understands that at this very minute in the Labour Party and in the Conservative Party major efforts are being made to reach an agreement that could be approved by Parliament to prevent having to have European Parliament Elections. But I very much doubt that any agreement between the Leaders will have the necessary support in the House of Commons.

Is this the preamble of the creation of new political forces to replace the ailing Labour and Conservatives?
