And this is the Lady that the Labour Party and others accuse of racism

 

And this is the Lady that the Labour Party and others accuse of racism. Lady Hussey was pushed to resign and has been demonised by a Labour Party that said that a now former black Chancellor of the Exchequer 'was not black enough'. On top of being anti-Semites, so called left-wing operators are also anti-British and they actively campaign to undermine Britain in every way that they can. They cannot forget nor forgive non whites who have left Marxist organisations. In the history of Britain, we have never had such a multicultural cabinet, starting with a Prime Minister whose family originated in the Indian Subcontinent. Just ask yourselves. How many women have led the Labour Party or ever become Prime Ministers? How many non-whites have led the Labour Party or ever become Prime Ministers?

When a local Labour Party association in Northwest London tried to have a black candidate standing, the Labour Party rejected the idea and even threw out members of the said local Labour Party association. When a Jewish lady sought to stand as a candidate in the Midlands, she was told that she was 'too Jewish'. Even feminism is under attack because the so called left-wing operators support the idea of genetic men competing in women's events making a mockery of sports and the said left-wing operators are also bent on manipulating vulnerable children to make them doubt about their own identities as children. The very core of Britain is being undermined.   

Rwanda: A culturally enriching experience

 

For decades, the Labour Party and others have told us that the arrival of people from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and from other parts of the world was 'a culturally enriching experience' and that we in Europe should consider ourselves fortunate for having the privilege of welcoming people from other parts of the world as a way to improve our own lives and living standards.

But... oh, surprise, as soon as the Conservative government reaches an agreement with Rwanda to channel asylum seekers to Rwanda, the Labour Party and others raise their voices saying that 'sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is the ultimate act of cruelty and an example of barbarity'. What has happened? What happened to the enriching experiences they so much talked about? To me, it sounds like the best example of sheer hypocrisy and not only that. The Labour Party's comments against the idea of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is absolute racism against Rwanda. Rwanda is an African country. And so what? Aren't the Rwandan peoples' entitled to be treated with respect? I am sure that asylum seekers will have a wonderful experience in one of the most developed African countries.

But then again, criticism is coming from a political organisation riddled with anti-Semites. Having changed a leader does not change the fact that anti-Semitism is very much what charaterizes a Labour Party that hates those who have something as long as they are not members or supporters of the Labour Party and this also speaks volumes about the nature of the Labour Party.

Keir Starmer: To be or not to be?

 

Keir Starmer: To be or not to be?

There was a Liberal Democrat politician who say that the country needs another centrist political party that could offer an alternative to the Conservative Party and it would not be the Liberal Democrats, but perhaps a blend of politicians of several political parties that could come together.

The Labour Party owes its birth to the Trade Union Movement, but much has happened in Britain and around the world since then. 

Maybe the partition of the Labour Party into two distinct political parties would be the way forward for the Labour Party to disassociate itself from political elements that are now on the fringes of Britain's political life and that very visibly do not share the views of the majority about what should be the political outlook of Britain as a country in Europe and in the World as a whole. The Trade Union Movement is not what it used to be either. The closure of the mines and the loss of jobs in manufacturing weakend the Trade Union Movement as more and more people at work are not affilliated to the Trade Union Movement. When it comes to transport, now that much of transport is delivered via franchises, the Trade Union Movement has less of a say in terms of what happens in the labour market.

When it comes to wealthy supporters, if you are Jewish and run a business, will you support a Labour Party that is visibly anti-Semitic. It could be the case that Keir Starmer never beomes Prime Minister, but it has an important role to play in terms of creating a political party that is a lot less dependent on the Trade Union Movement. There is a new brand of Labour Party supporters coming from Universities. They are not the classical grassroot Labour Party supporters. They are ambitious and much wealthier. They could be sending the message that you don't have to be a rabid Marxist Revolutionary to promote social politicies.

When you look at the history of Socialism, there were plenty of other brands of Socialism before Karl Marx was even born. Getting away from Marxism, the Labour Party could become a more attractive electoral choice for many Britons that profoundly disagree with Marxist and with their methods, that do not want any association with unsavoury regimes.

Winning an election is a feat, but winning an election with a 300 votes margin when you had a 3,000 vote margin before is not 'excellent'.

 After 11 years in Opposition, the Labour Party should be making inroads and it isn't. What happened in the so called Red Wall, what happened in Hartlepool, what happened in Chesham and Amersham and to an extent what happened in Batley and Spen, tell yous that all is not well.

Despite the celebratory mood of Keir Starmer that saw the writing on the wall had the Labour Party been defeated in Batley and Spen - a seat that it holds since 1997, the knives were getting ready to strike. I am focused on my work and I am not thinking about any Leadership challenges, stated Angela Rayner now Deputy Leader. It was the kind of denial that much more of denial is a reminder: I am here. I am ready.

The Labour Party can blame George Galloway for their tiny majority in Batley and Spen, but what happened in Hartlepool happened because Labour voters chose not to vote. It was said again and again that in Batley and Spen there is an Asian majority that is increasingly discontent with Keir Starmer stance on Palestine. And there is more. We must remember that the Labour Party no longer has control of the local authority due to several local issues.

What next? There are still about three years before the next General Election. This should be the time that Keir Starmer should use to put the Labour Party back on track. He is lucky to have the support of Andy Burnham and even the support of Ken Livingstone that speaking today on GB News said that Keir Starmer is a genuine Labour man, that as soon as Keir Starmer went to ask him for advice as soon as he became Labour Party Leader.

Ken Livingstone didn't have kind words for George Galloway, but the fact that George Galloway was a complete outsider in Batley and Spen and still managed to get more than 8,000 votes, coming in third place, is a message that cannot be ignored. How many people in the Labour Party were secretely wishing that George Galloway's participation could allow them to challenge Keir Starmer and retoute the Labour Party?

Andy Burnham, the man that many want as Labour Party Leader, came out in support of Keir Starmer and said that he had the intention of keeping his word to remain as Mayor of Manchester for a full term.

Yes, the Labour Party has serious internal issues to deal with, but for some the present circumstances are not the best environment to launch a leadership challenge. Andy Burnham cannot be Labour Party Leader without being an MP. The next General Election should take place in 2024. So unless there was a by-election that he could possibly win, throwing away his seat as Mayor of Manchester where he has a much greater political profile both locally and nationally would be a very poor choice.

Going back to Ken Livingstone, could Ken Livingstone have any aspirations to be allowed to rejoin the Labour Party? His comments about World War Two events and the episode with a Jewish journalist that he compaired to 'a German Concentration Camp Guard' would stand on the way of this return when many in the Labour Party are terrified about how the Jewish Community could react. 

Keir Starmer: Keeping your eye on the ball

 

While you can be critical or supportive of what happens in terms of governance of the United Kingdom, you cannot fail to pay attention to what happening in the Opposition that very much affects developments in the United Kingdom.

Keir Starmer is literally struggling to keep the Labour Party together and by many account he is not succeding. The expressions anti-Semitim and Islmophobia should ring a bell. 

In spite of the fact that Keir Starmer was the man the Labour Party chose to deal with the crisis generated concerning accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and the fact that as a direct consequence of the crisis the previous leader was deposed and is no longer a Labour Party member, a series of reshuffles following electoral defeats tell you that all is not well in the Labour Party. 

What is more, there is a new acquired fear in the Labour Party that is affecting Labour Party policies and relationships between its members as Muslims are increasingly discontent with the stances of the Labour Party regarding Palestine, Labour Party officials are running around in fear that any criticism of the Labour Party regarding what is happening in Palestine might be seen as anti-Semitism.

Any reshuffle in the present circumstances increases discontent and lowers the popularity ratings of the leader both internally and externally. Some polls indicate that Keir Starmer's popularity ratings are pretty low so he himself would not be an asset should there be an General Election.

We are hours away from a by-election in Batley and Spen and people inside and outside the Labour Party await the outcome of the election that could strengthen existing doubts about the leadership of the Labour Party. But there is more. There have been incidents during the campaign for the by-election that are extremely worrying. A well-known Muslim female Labour Party politician was seen laughing when the standing candidate Kim Leadbeater was accosted by a group of angry Muslims who were questioning Kim Leadbeater about her stances on LGBT issues. To what extent can the Labour Party trust its Muslim members and supporters? If what happened regarding Jewish voters happens again but this time involving Muslim voters there are areas and not just Batley and Spen but somewhere else in the country where the Labour vote could collapse. 

We then see that added to already existing ideological differences between Labour politicians and Labour Party voters we have two new divides regarding issues that happen outside the country that can seriously undermine the Labour Party. Palestine and the debate about anti-Semitism and Islmamophobia are key issues for the present Labour Party. 

A regional official in the UK's Labour Party has prevented local party members from debating a motion on Thursday calling for sanctions on Israel over human rights violations against Palestinians saying it would trigger 'anti-Semitic behaviour'. 

Kim Bolton - chair of Hove and Portslade Constituency Labour Party in southern England - ordered that members are prohibited from discussing the motion calling for Israel to 'end its violations of the human rights of Palestinians'.

The motion had urged the UK to 'impose legal sanctions on Israel', such as a ban of arms sales and trade with illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Bolton reportedly acted on advice from Scott Horner, the south east regional officer for Labour. Horner is said to have cautioned her that the discussions 'would undermine the party's ability to provide a safe and welcoming place for all members, in particular Jewish members'.

Bolton said she supported that view and believed that a debate on sanctions against Israel, key demand of the non-violent BDS movement backed by large swathes of Labour Party members, could 'stir up internal conflict'.

What are the alternatives for the Labour Party after July 1st, 2021, day of the by-election in Batley and Spen? If the Labour vote is divided and Labour loses the by-election, will this be the last straw for Keir Starmer's leadership. What will he do? Will he carry out yet another reshuffle as it happend after events in Hartlepool and event in Chesham and Amersham? If the Labour Party is in favour of another leadership challenge, who is there to replace Keir Starmer?

Because of the pandemic, the Labour Party has been desperately trying to capitalize on any criticism made concerning the governing party, whether it is about Dominic Cummings or the actions of Matt Hancock or the fabricated loss of documents pertaining to the Ministry of Defense. But this cannot make up for the general lack of direction and ineffectiveness of the Labour Party.

Keir Starmer very well knows that there are two fundamental divisions in the Labour Party - apart from other divisions - the Parliamentary Labour Party and the grass roots of the Labour Party - never mind the University warriors on social media that do not represent the real Labour Party.

Hartlepool was lost because many Labour supporters chose to abstain. In Chesham and Amersham, Labour barely managed to gather a few hundred votes coming after the Green Party. Somebody talked about tactical votes that gave the Liberal Democrats a win in Chesham and Amersham. What if this wasn't a tactical vote, but something more permanent? The Liberal Democrats seem to believe that the outcome was due to a lot more than just a tactical vote. 

We await the outcome in Batley and Spen. Let's see if the Muslim vote for Labour holds or if George Galloway manages to attract both Muslim voters discontent with the stances of the present Labour Party on Palestine and/or Jeremy Corbyn's supporters in general and/or any disaffected Labour voter that does not agree with Keir Starmer's leadership.

 

Labour Party: Lessons to be learned to prevent tragedies

 

On June 16th, 2016, Jo Cox MP (right) was killed in plain daylight being shot and stabbed several times when walking to conduct a surgery at her constituency.

Undoubtedly, the Labour Party has sought to capitalize on emotional elements when Kid Leadbeater - sister of Jo Cox - was chosen as Labour Party candidate in the by-election in Batley and Spen due to take place on July 1st 2021.

The assumption is that Labour voters will seek to elect Kim Leadbeater who, like Jo Cox, is the only local candidate of a slate of candidates. The selection of Kim Leadbeater hasn't come without criticism. Kim Leadbeater was not a Labour Party member. She joined the Labour Party and was selected by-passing Labour Party rules in terms of membership and selection of candidates due to stand for election.

The Labour MP who held the seat had to resign the seat because she was recently chosen to be the Mayor of West Yorkshire. Tracy Brabin was elected in May 2021 and resigned because she could not hold the two posts - Member of Parliament and Mayor of West Yorkshire - at the same time.

The by-election in Batley and Spen comes after a remarkable defeat for Labour in Hartlepool and the losss in Chesham and Amersham were the Labour Party barely got a few hundreds of votes being place behind the Green Party. This comes during very difficult times for the Labour Party. Events in the United Kingdom and outside the United Kingdom. 

Events in the United Kingdom led to the removal of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party Leader following a series of scandals involving accusations of anti-Semitism. Jeremy Corbyn did not only lose his position as Labour Party Leader, but he is also out of the Labour Party standing now as an Independent MP. Since then, Keir Starmer has been Labour Party Leader and from day one the briefing was to uproot any kind of behaviour in the Labour Party that could be identified as anti-Semitism. This has come at a cost. In recent days, Muslim supporters complained that Keir Starmer is literally ignoring them and there were public statements by Labour Party supporters in Batley and Spen who refuse to support the Labour Party in the Batley and Spen by-election because of Keir Starmer's stance regarding events in Palestine.

There was a turn for the worse when the issue was a debate about proposed sanctions against the Jewish State of Israel and this is reflect by attitudes inside the Labour Party at regional level.

This was reported by the mass media:

A regional official in the UK's Labour Party has prevented local party members from debating a motion on Thursday calling for sanctions on Israel over human rights violations against Palestinians saying it would trigger 'anti-Semitic behaviour'. 

Kim Bolton - chair of Hove and Portslade Constituency Labour Party in southern England - ordered that members are prohibited from discussing the motion calling for Israel to 'end its violations of the human rights of Palestinians'.

The motion had urged the UK to 'impose legal sanctions on Israel', such as a ban of arms sales and trade with illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Bolton reportedly acted on advice from Scott Horner, the south east regional officer for Labour. Horner is said to have cautioned her that the discussions 'would undermine the party's ability to provide a safe and welcoming place for all members, in particular Jewish members'.

Bolton said she supported that view and believed that a debate on sanctions against Israel, key demand of the non-violent BDS movement backed by large swathes of Labour Party members, could 'stir up internal conflict'.

I contacted Helen Hayes MP and wrote the following:

'I saw Kim Leadbeater alone on the streets being chased by angry individuals and the thought crossed my mind. What if.... The events on June 16th, 2016 came to me with a bang. Whatever is going on in the Labour Party, you need to take care of your own people. I copy this message to the Labour Party and to the Home Secretary. If certain individuals take an issue with Kim Leadbeater and go out to target her because of very public actions of the Labour Party regarding Palestine, Kim Leadbeater will be a sitting duck.

Kim Bolton, Scott Horner and other Labour Party officials should be made aware of the sensitivities in Batley and Spen. Muslim members/supporters of the Labour Party have already made their views regarding the attitudes within the Labour Party and in particular of the Leadership of the Labour Party. There is an important presence of people of Asian descent who are mostly Muslims in Batley and Spen.

I am afraid that whatever is going on in the Labour Party has made too many people in positions of authority absolutely blind to what is happening on the ground. You are dealing with very dangerous individuals. If on top of being targetted for LGBT issues she is also targetted because of what is happening in the Labour Party with regards to Palestine, she would be the ideal target to focus peoples' minds. Individuals who might be interested in targetting her know perfectly well that the entire country will be watching developments in Batley and Spen because of the implications of the outcome of the election for the Labour Party Leadership. They know that should anything happen, it will be reported nationally and internationally and therefore it will have enormous propaganda value.

George Galloway has made very clear that his participation in Batley and Spen has one fundamental aim and we know what the position of those bound to support George Galloway is on issues regarding Palestine.

I would't be surprised if a major incident takes place before or after the vote. We hope that nothing of the kind ever happens, but you need to be prepared to prevent it from happening. 

I beg you to take this situation extremely seriously. Do not leave her unprotected.

The message was sent to other political operators including Labour Party authorities in Brighton and in Batley and Spen.

This came after video images in which Kim Leadbeater was seen having to deal on her won with a hostile crowd being targetted about her views on LGBT.  She was seen completely vulnerable trying to get into a car parked on the side of the road. We do remember what happend to Jo Cox in June 2016. It would not have been impossible for something very similar to happen to Kim Leadbeater when she is campaigning for the Batley and Spen by-Election.

It is not difficult to understand what is happening within the Labour Party. The article that publishes the decision made by the Labour Party regarding a motion about sanctions on Israel indicates that such if the fear of the Leadership of the Labour Party about the issue of Anti-Semitism that the Labour Party is very much willing to ignore violations of human rights and the killing of men, women and children as long as there are no more accusations about Anti-Semitism. The article also indicates that a vast number of Labour Party supporters (the non-violent BDS (Boycot Divest and Sanctions) movement backed by large swathes of Labour members) do not agree with the stances of Keir Starmer on the issue of Palestine and violation of human rights.

https://bdsmovement.net/  The BDS movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with International Law.

Keir Starmer as Labour Party Leader has sought to salvage the Labour Party and after each electoral defeat he has produced yet another reshuffle. With each reshuffle his power base is shrinking. He is not only not listening to voters. He is not listening to members of his own party. Not only that. He is preventing members of his own political party from expressing valid points of view. It might come the time when his popularity ratings with voters in general will be at the same level of his popularity within the Labour Party.

Two questions arise about his own political survival: how long will he be Labour Party Leader? Will he be Labour Party Leader at the time of the next General Election? I do believe that the next General Election will take place in 2024. Speculation about an advanced General Election seem to have come to an end with events linked to the departure of Matt Hancock as Health Secretary.

What is certain is that the image of the Labour Party as defender of Human Rights has been wiped out by Keir Starmer. He, the man who used to be a star Director of Public Prosecutions, is now under scrutiny. 

Andrew Rawnsley writing on The Guardian says: Starmer's enthusiasm while DPP for using mundane news events to feed the press with rightwing talking points is a possible concern for Labour members. If such a leader was faced with news of an injustice in the future - the consequence of a change to immigration rules,say, or of a strike in public services - Starmer's approach to the press as DPP might raise worries that he would not give a principled defence of the victims but would tell the press whatever it wanted to hear.

The description made by Andrew Rawnsley clearly explains the fact that Keir Starmer instead of choosing the hard way of standing against violations of Human Rights has chosen the easy way of opting for what is convenient instead of opting for what is proper and difficult. Little consideration has been given to the predicament Kim Leadbeater could face in Batley and Spen.

 

 
 

Keir Starmer: Captain, what are your orders?

Keir Starmer: Does the Captain of the ship know what he wants to do?

After the May elections, it was not all defeat for the Labour Party. Andy Burham won again as Mayor of Manchester and there were other successes at Mayoral Level. In Wales, once again, Labour came up victorious. 

What has become self-evident is that the Labour Party won certain elections in spite of Keir Starmer's term as Labour Party Leader and not because of Keir Starmer Leadership.

Both friends and foes keep asking: what that the Labour Party actually stand for? Now, Keir Starmer has come up with one word: Modernisation. He says that the Labour Party needs to be modernised to win elections.

 What does 'modernisation' mean in this particular case? Can he be more specific?

The most important issue is to define what exactly the Labour Party stands for under his leadership. He is the captain of the ship. The shadow cabinet is his team of officers onboard and the grassroots are his sailors. Do the officers know what the captain wants them to do? Do the sailors know what the captain expects them to do? Where is the ship heading to?

Right after the election, the main complaint was that the party doesn't know what it stands for, that the grassroots don't know what the party stands for and that voters don't have a clue about what the party stands for. Many Labour supporters couldn't bring themselves to vote for anybody else and stayed home in despair. The role of the captain is to lead and this is exactly what Keir Starmer is not doing.

How many hours did the Shadow Cabinet spend criticizing the government? How many hours did the Shadow Cabinet actually spend talking about specific and detailed policies? He came up presumably to get rid of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. Is that all he has to offer?

Being an experienced lawman, an experienced barrister, does not make you a political leader. Keir Starmer has a one in a lifetime opportunity to make a difference. The obvious question would be: Does Keir Starmer know what he wants to do with the Labour Party?

In 1972, Robert Redford starred in the movie The Candidate. The son of a former Senator got himself elected Senator. On the day when his victory is confirmed, his agent finds him in his bedroom in a state of anxiety and fear. Instead of rejoicing because of his electoral victory, he is absolutely desperate and asks his agent 'What do I do next?' and begs for help because he doesn't know what to do.

Keir Starmer is a good and honest man. He is an experienced lawman. He expresses his opinions openly, but this does not necessarily make him a good political leader. Jeremy Corbyn is a conviction politician, somebody that trully believes what he is saying, but not necessarily a good political leader either.

The rules of the Labour Party dictate that to be a Labour Party Leader you must be a Member of Parliament. This would not allow Andy Burnham to stand for Labour Party Leader. Because of his role as Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham was very comfortably re-elected a few days ago. Every leadership change can be traumatic and there are still open wounds caused by the manner of the departure of the previous leader. The Labour Party is now more factional than ever before. The next General Election is due to take place in 2024. There was a reshuffle when Jeremy Corbyn was deposed and there has been yet another reshuffle after the May 2021 Elections. People are going to keep asking: what does the Labour Party stand for? Captain Starmer, what are your orders? 

 

Why Anti-Semitism activists are working together with the British Far Right?

 

Paul Besser and outspoken anti-Semitism activists 

Anti-Semitism campaigners in the United Kingdom appear to be working together with elements of the British Far Right and they appear to have a common interest in terms of going against Muslims and Pro-Palestine campaigners.

Paul Besser has been seen with Paul (former British National Party activist and organiser and present leader of Britain First) and with Jayda Fransen (formerly Britain First Deputy Leader and now involved in the leadership of the British Freedom Party due to stand in elections in Scotland to challenge Nicola Sturgeon for a seat in the Scottish Parliament).  

It can be said that Anti-Semitism campaigners are very close to Tommy Robinson (Stuart Lennox) and have been involved in campaigning for Tommy Robinson and have participated in rallies supporting Tommy Robinson. Anti-Semitism campaigners have also been involved with Anne Marie Waters (leader of For Britain) that also has an anti-Muslim narrative and has supporters that usually attend rallies, supporting Israel and are not favourable to the cause of Palestine. Former members of National Front and British National Party have publicly joined Anne Marie Waters. It must be said that Anne Marie Waters is a former member of UKIP that became disassocited from UKIP because of her views on Islam.

We know from the media (i.e. The Independent newspaper online) that there have been reports of threats made by Tommy Robinson against journalist like Lizzie Dearden that constantly classify Tommy Robinson as Far Right activist.

All three - Tommy Robinson (former BNP), Paul Golding (former BNP) and Jayda Fransen (former BNP and now associated with Nick Griffin (former BNP Leader) and Jim Dowson (former financial supporter of the BNP and founder of Britain First), have been convicted for incidents against Muslims in the United Kingdom. The question to ask is: are pro-Israel and anti-Semitism activists in the United Kingdom actively cooperating with the British Far Right to go against Muslims and those who support the cause of Palestine?

Tommy Robinson - Pro-Israel and anti-Islam

The links are apparently everywhere. It looks like some media are playing both sides at the same time. On the one hand they condemn Far Right activists for engaging in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, but they don't seem to want to talk about the obvious marriage of convenience between some anti-Semitism activists and the Far Right engaged in campaigns against Muslims in the United Kingdom.

Many politicians and many in the mass media are being less than honest by talking about issues when it suits their agenda and looking the other way when it doesn't suit their agenda.

Paul Besser and Jayda Fransen

Now Labour wants to follow Britain First

After being routed in its homelands during the 2019 General Election, an election in wich the Conservative Party got a sizeable majority by becoming the party of the white working class (statistically more white working class people voted for the Conservative Party than they voted for the Labour Party), Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer wants his party to use national flags and put on a suit to try and regain the confidence of British voters.

According to him, a posher Labour Party might become a more attractive option, but if this an issue merely of flags and suits and not of real policies the chances are that his approach will not find favour amongst those whose support he needs to turn the tide that has gone against the Labour Party after a series of scandals involving anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and outright fraud. One example is the once popular Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson who fell from grace after being accussed of being involved in a conspiracyu to commit bribery and witnerss intimidation. 

Before Joe Anderson, members of the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet have shown worrying signs of incompetence when Diane Abbott discussed on live radio his options to improve Police services. Something about the amount of money needed to recruit new Police Officers. Emily Thornberry didn't do that well when she publicly acknowledge that she wasn't aware of the names of key political figures in the international arena, people she would have had to deal with if she had been Foreign Secretary.

If anything, the removal of Jeremty Corbyn also helped remove many members of his Shadow Cabinet, but it hasn't helped to improve the Labour Party's standing in terms of competence. 

Having the Labour Party taken  to the courts by its former Leader is not a show of unity. If the party whip is not returned to Jeremy Corbyn, Jeremy Corbynb would be facto not allowed to stand in a General Election for the seat he now represents. And what about Labour Party supporters? During his term in office as party Leader, Jeremy Corbyn managed to increase Labour Party membership. The irony was that Labour Party members liked Jeremy Corbyn as much as the Parliamentary Labour Party disliked Jeremy Corbyn. What happened in the northern seats that used to be represented by Labour MPs might very well have been retaliation by the Labour Party grassroots against the Parliamentary Labour Party that got rid of Jeremy Corbyn.

Using the tactics of the so called Far Right could be for Keir Starmer a fatal mistake. What would the likes of the UAF, Hope Not Hate, Searchlight and others say when they see the Labour Party dressed in Britain First's clothes? For decades the Labour Party tried to convince British voters that Natinonalism was poisonous and that whoever went around with national flags was racist, Fascist and xenophobe. Labour Party authorities literally replaced national flags with European Union flags. After Brexit, they cannot use European Union flags to hide symbols that they actually hate.

Will the Labour Party that actively campaigned against British Nationalism now turn around and say that they are British Nationalists and that they no longer believe what they used to preach by demonising anybody who dared to stand for British Nationalism?

 

Labour Party: Keir Starmer cannot have the cake and eat it?

So Keir Starmer says that Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic. Well, why did he suspend Jeremy Corbyn in the first place? Has this statement have something to do with MPs talking about leaving the Labour Party and becoming independents? He wanted the Leadership and used the anti-Semitism argument to push Jeremy Corbyn aside. Now, he realises that he could become the Leader of a political party that could have less MPs than the SNP. The Labour Party lost MPs because of the Brexit argument. After that, the Labour Party lost much of its heartland MPs. If Keir Starmer cannot bring the Labour Party together, the next General Election would be a walkover. It is not the first time the Labour Party finds itself facing a political divorce and the outcome could be very similar.

If after the verdict of the verdict on anti-Semitism blaming the office of Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer states that 'Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic' then the charges fall on the shoulders of those who supported Jeremy Corbyn. This is like stating that Jeremy Corbyn was a bad leader that was completely unaware of what was being done by those close to him.

If after stating the Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-Semitic Jeremy Corbyn remains suspended, then who is a bad leader? It would mean that Keir Starmer is ready and willing to sacrify innocent people. If Jeremy Corbyn's suspension is annuled then other heads would have to roll to fit the ruling according to the charges made against the office of Jeremy Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn might not be willing to shoot himself in the foot by destroying his power base. Either way, it would mean admitting that his political career is over because this is exactly the outcome that awaits him if he turns against his own supporters.

This is a lose-lose situation for both Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer. A Leadership Election would have to be called to bring in other alternatives and this includes somebody with a profile high enough to stand up in a General Election and to solve the Labour Party's internal problems.

Revisionism by the Mob

Revisionism by the Mob

Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen": "Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people." Heinrich Heine

The furore of rallies happening across the world, burning flags, destroying monuments, pretending to rewrite history has something of other times. Long before the famous 1930s and 1940s, the message of what was going to happen across Europe had been sent by a poet of the 19th Century. The so called Black Lives Matter Movement that kills black people including black Police officers is no different from what happened in the 1930s and 1940s. 

The madness engulfs societies and entire countries. As it happened in the 1930s and 1940s, politicians and mass media jumped on the bandwagon justifying criminal acts 'because people are angry'. 

In some sort of November Pogrom, usually called Kristallnacht, demonstrators are on the rampage like locusts that advance destroying everything of value that they encounter. The young and the ignorant join in in this orgy of violence and destruction and adrenaline flows.

As it happened before in the 1930's and 1940s, this is not going to end up well. Violence will generate violence and sooner than later we will have a Mad Max reality in which hunters and hunted will be one and the same, in which tit for tat reactions will destroy any ressemblance of peaceful coexistence. The Revolution will devour its children.

 

Trevor Phillips in the eye of the political storm regarding Islam

Trevor Phillips in the eye of the political storm regarding Islam

Trevor Phillips

Nick Griffin

These two main went to war some years ago when the challenge was the Constitution of the British National Party. The struggle costed the political organisation a critical amount of resources and initiated the process leading to electoral losses in the British National Party. Not long afterwards in what was effectively a coup within the BNP, Adam Walker and Clive Jefferson orchastred the expulsion of Nick Griffin and the organisation became a phantom organisation without any real political purpose because the Leader and the Deputy Leader became invisible. 

Nick Griffin was crucified for denouncing that Muslim gangs were preying on vulnerable boys and girls. The BBC called Nick Griffin 'racist'. More than a decade later, Nick Griffin was proven right, but still the political establishment and the mass media who spread so much poison against Nick Griffin couldn't bring themselves to apologize for having wrongly accused Nick Griffin and for having looked the other way while thousands of British children were being sexually abused, raped, plied with drugs and alcohol and even tortured and killed. In far too many cases, the culprits were never found. Now we face the absurdity of a government that doesn't want to publicise reports of those who were found and convicted in British courts.

Throughout the years, Trevor Phillips views on some issues have changed and now he himself has a different stance. The former head of the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) stated that UK Muslim population is 'different'. For having the courage of being frank and open, Trevor Phillips has been suspended by a Labour Party that stands accused of hatred against Jews. Suspending Trevor Phillips was a logical thing to do by a Labour Party that has direct links with Islamic terrorist organisations and has been openly attacking the State of Israel.

This is about the Labour Party's revenge against Trevor Phillips because Trevor Phillips and 23 other public figures wrote last year to The Guardian newspaper stating that they would not vote for the Labour Party because of the association of the Labour Party with Anti-Semitism.And what is the EHRC doing right now? The EHRC is investigating the Labour Party for Anti-Semitism and the Conservative Party for Islamophobia. So this goes beyond Anti-Semitism and Islmamophobia. This is a political struggle with geopolitical angles and goes to the root of what Britain stands. This is also - critically - about National Security.

The Labour Party sold out to Irish terrorism by becoming extremely close to the IRA. The Labour Party looked the other way when in places like Rotherham they ignored the plight of vulnerable boys and girls attacked by Muslim rape gangs. It must be said that - althrough not all involved in such criminal activities can be classed as Muslim - a disproportionate number are of Muslim Pakistani descent and some have stated that this could be do to cultural and religious issues and the ghetto realities of Britain. In quite a few cases, Diversity has been exactly the opposite of genuine Integration.

 

Nick Lowles: From Searchlight to Hope Not Hate to.... with a penchant for Islamophobia

Nick Lowles: From Searchlight to Hope Not Hate to.... with a penchant for Islamophobia

In 2016, the National Union of Students attempted to ban Nick Lowles to deny him a platform because he stood accused of Islamophobia. It has been reported that Nick Lowles is no longer the head of Hope Not Hate, in spite of the fact that articles signed by Nick Lowles are published by The Guardian. 

If such penchant for Islamophobia happens to be true, then Nick Lowles would have joined the likes of Nick Griffin, Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson that - surprise, surprise - stand accused of Islamophobia. 

Nick Lowles: Anti-Muslim campaigner?

To have spent quite a few years as an 'Anti-Racist' campaigner, ending up being accused of Islamophobia like many of those active in the so called Far Right seems a bit of a fall from grace.

On this day and age, perhaps the Security Services using new legislation should ask him his pins and numbers of all his electronic devices to find out what he actually up to.

I wonder if Nick Lowles has any links with Moscow. Having links with Moscow was the reason why the Security Services detained Paul Golding at Heathrow Airport and took him away with handcuffs when Paul Golding refused to deliver his pins and passwords. Trump charges for terrorism were made against Paul Golding that will be in Westminster Magistrates Court on February 27th 2020 at 2:00 o'clock to answer against the said charges in what is nothing more than another piece political persecution.

The British mass media and some British politicians want you believe that we live in a free country, but unfortunately when somebody who has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism and stands against terrorism is arrested, manhandled and falsely accused, all illusions of being in a free country fall overboard.

Every single piece of repressive legislation - like a knife - can be used for the right reasons and for the wrong reasons. When Jacqui Smith, then Home Secretary under a Labour goverment, introduce anti-terror legislation, voices were raised to caution against the certain possibility that anti-terror legislation could be misused. Nick Lowles was more interested in demonising and harassing those he didn't like and not even paid lip service to public freedoms. What Nick Lowles should take into account is that he himself could be targetted with the tools he used against others. The Porno Home Secretary - she and her husband used to claim Parliamentary expenses for pornography videos - took an active party in putting aside Habeas Corpus and the Presumption of Innocence, making possible to detain individuals without access to legal counsel. 

We live in a very strange world. Nowadays, regardless of ideology, race, gender, et cetera, you could end up in court accused of terrorism simply because you refuse to surrender access to your private information contained in electronic devices. We started fighting against terrorism and we ended up creating a terrorist state. And, once again, Nick Lowles was instrumental in the creation of a terrorist state.

  

  

Labour: Choosing Corbyn ally as replacement Leader changes nothing

Labour: Choosing Corbyn ally as replacement Leader changes nothing

The name on the cards to replace Jeremy Corbyn is Rebecca Long Bailey, a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn. If she is effectively the new Leader, little will have changed and it would show that the Labour clique is not willing to accept the outcome of a disastrous General Election. A change of names while maintaining the 'Movement' will certainly condemn the Labour Party to political oblivion.

The failures of the Labour Party leadership were all too visible. While Jeremy Corbyn kept talking about negotiating a new deal and putting it to the vote together with the option to remain was contrasted with the views of the remaining members of the shadow cabinet that clearly said that they would negotiate a new deal but would campaign for remain. To put it mildly, they explicitly said that they would campaign against their own deal.

For thousands upon thousands of Labour Party voters and supporters, the attitudes of Jeremy Corbyn and its shadow cabinet were too much to swallow and they decided to support other political parties and most importantly the Conservative Party to get Brexit done.

But the Labour Party couldn't persuade voters to accept a manifesto based on sheer demagogy and political bribes. The Labour Party couldn't either get rid of the anti-Semitism scandal, scandal made worse by the fact that most of those who came up with expressions of anti-Semitism were Muslim Labour Party members that dominate the Labour Party in many areas across the United Kingdom. The two things go together: anti-Israel attitudes and hatred against Jews in the United Kingdom.

Choosing a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn, tainted by all the aforementioned, is an own goal. But lets not put the car before the horses. While Rebecca Long Bailey is being talked about about a serious contender there are other names on the cards.

Brexit, Government, Parliament and the Courts: And now what?

Brexit, Government, Parliament and the Courts: And now what?

The solution implemented by David Cameron as Prime Minister to have a stable Parliament in coalition with Lib Dems - Fixed Term Parliament Act - has turned into a nightmare that has led to a political. crisis of major proportions. In a catch 22 situation, both sides of the argument have ended up in the courts to try and find a way out while at the same time whatever is left of a democratic system is simply falling apart. 

A Remain Parliament was always going to resort to legal tricks not to respect the will of the Electorate that voted to get Britain out of the European Union. Despite several attempts by the British Prime Minister to call a General Election, Parliament used the Fixed Term Parliament to prevent a General Election and this is the Parliament that calls itself Democratic.

The Scottish Court was always going to play the game in favour of SNP. It remains to be seen what will be the position of an United Kingdom Courts. The verdict is expected to be announced on Tuesday next week. The Fixed Term Parliament Act has destroyed separation of powers and is creating a climate of confrontation that at the moment is about heated arguments but could easily turn into violent confrontation.

Today, the reasons why Jeremy Corbyn doesn't want a General Election - although he talks about it but doesn't want to vote for it - became apparent once again when John Watson - Labour Party Deputy Leader - contradicted the Labour Leader and was attacked by from within the Labour Party. How many Labour Parties there are? Who knows? And this is the Labour Party that according to some of its representatives aspires to govern Britain.

A Labour Party that is anti-Semitic, supporter of terrorist organisations including the IRA, that despises Britain's greatest ally - the United States of America - and stands to defend and protect its foes is a recipe for disaster both nationally and internationally.

Just a few days ago, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Number 10 Downing Street. Can you imagine British/Israeli relations with Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister? British weapons for Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah? Partition of the United Kingdom and unification of Ireland? 

The SNP's only agenda is to cause as much disruption as possible - even Civil War - because the SNP couldn't care less about Britain. SNP wants to partition Britain to get Scottish Independence. It is going to take advantage of every British crisis to get its way.

What will happen next week? Well, we don't know what will happen tomorrow or the day after. Remember the old Yugoslavia.    

Rory Stewart: Deluded about pact with Brexit Party?

Rory Stewart: Deluded about pact with Brexit Party?

Rory Stewart

The  2019 local elections proved to be an absolute disaster for the Conservative Party that was punished for Theresa May's loss of public face. This was followed by the European Parliament Elections in which the Conservative Party was practically wiped out. As if this wasn't enough, in the Peterborough By Election, the Conservative Party was third behind the Brexit Party. The news that Rory Stewart contacted Nigel Farage to seek an agreement is the act of a desperate man that got barely 19 votes in the first round of the Conservative Party Leadership Election. Matt Hancock who got 20 votes walked away. But Rory Stewart went as a far as confirming that he is willing to destroy the Conservative Party following the path established by Philip Hammond. The fact that he was looking for a deal with the Brexit Party merely serves to confirm what Dominic Raab stated: If the Conservative Party doesn't deliver Brexit, the Conservative Party is finished.

Rumours that Boris Johnson could be confirmed even before two candidates are chosen to allow the Conservative Party Membership is given the opportunity to vote indicate that there is an awareness that should a leader be chosen that is not strong enough, not decisive enough, not enough of a believer in Brexit, this would be catastrophic for the Conservative Party. October 31st is the chosen date, the deadline. October 31st 2019 is the date to prove if the Conservative Party is a political force worth voting for. A new failure would not only condemn the new leader to a disgraceful departure. It would sink the Conservative Party. The Brexit Party is watching. Any hesitation in the Conservative Party will be a gigantic boost for the Brexit Party. Conservatives like Jacob Rees Mogg have spoken about including Nigel Farage in any future possible negotiation with the European Union.

In the meantime, in a desperate attempt to hold the Labour Party together, Jeremy Corbyn would be forced to offer a vote to Labour Party members so that any decision is not seen as Jeremy Corbyn's decision but as the Labour Party's decision. The Labour Party has already lost several Members of Parliament without an election being fought - Chuka Umunna joined the Lib Dems as Treasure and Business Spokesman. Not long ago, A high Profile Jewish MP resigned and accused the Labour Party of Anti-Semitism, accusation that was backed up by other Labour MPs who left to become independent. This happened after several MPs had become independent facing the certain danger of being deselected by their local constituencies.

Both Conservatives and Labour are in a state of flux. People are being asked who they will vote for if there was a General Election tomorrow. Lib Dems and Brexit Party come on top in terms of preferences. Some commentators who are politically aligned with the Labour Party have said that should Boris Johnson become leader the next step would be a general election but, perhaps, they are not taking into account the desperate state of both political parties and that in such general election the Conservative Party and the Labour Party risk coming third and fourth.

Confronting the possibility of Parliament being suspended to ensure that no one can prevent Brexit, Rory Stewart talked about using the Central Hall located not far from the Houses of Parliament to organise an alternative Parliament that would challenge the government but this looks very much like a political crisis of gigantic proportions not seen in Britain since the days of Oliver Cromwell and Charles I. Moreover, a motion put forward by the Labour Party aimed at preventing No Deal was defeated just days ago. 

On Tuesday, June 18th 2019, the Second Round in the Conservative Party Leadership Election will take place. There are six candidates left in the struggle. Remainers like Rory Stewart will have to have enough support to survive because facing a Conservative Party Membership vote with grassroots that are mainly for Leave.

 

Jo Brand and the BBC: One too many in what constitutes incitement to violence

Jo Brand and the BBC: One too many in what constitutes incitement to violence

Jo Brand and the BBC

Speaking on Radio 4, Jo Brand made a comment that constitutes incitement to violence. We are not going to mention the comment she made because what she suggested is basically promoting criminal violence for political purposes.

Telling jokes is one thing. Using the BBC to promote violence is quite another and nowhere in the BBC Charter it is suggested that the public broadcaster can or should engage giving a platform to individuals to promote criminal activities.

Sooner than later, laughing at the act of throwing milkshakes against people merely because of not sharing their views was bound to lead to what Jo Brand laughed about. We have seen elderly people thrown out to the ground by angry mobs shouting expletives and being insulting.

An NHS nurse lost her job looking after people with mental health problems because she lost the plot right in front of the Houses of Parliament and ended up apologising for what she had done. She had the excuse of being driven by crowd madness but Jo Brand had no excuse whatsoever to say what she said. She knew exactly what she said and the potential repercussion of what she said.

When Jeremy Corbyn's supporters shouted at this young black man holding an Israeli flag and supporting President Trump saying that his black man is racist, Nazi, Fascist and the like, something is very wrong. Who encourages people to engage in such behaviour? We should ask journalists and activist like Owen Jones about it, as one the most vociferous individuals on print, on television and on the streets. His ideological stances go all over the top and this has consequences in an increasingly tense political environment in which unstable individuals can easily get carried away by the messages he is sending out. The careless attitude in terms of what they say and do is something that Jo Brand shares with Owen Jones. They are agitators that don't seem to care about the consequences and especially when other people can get hurt.

Brexit: Trust in Democracy can only be restored when politicians deliver on what they promise

Brexit: Trust in Democracy can only be restored when politicians deliver on what they promise

Anna Soubry was called Nazi by a protester in front of the Houses of Parliament. That was a wrong thing to do because she isn't a Nazi. 

Having said that there is one claim that can be made. She has failed to deliver what she promised to her voters and to the Nation..The same has happened with other Members of Parliament. After the Expenses Scandal and several other shortcomings, Brexit would have been the golden opportunity for Parliament to redeem itself. Instead, trust in Parliament is at an all time low. But trust in Parliament is not the only one issue. There has been a loss of faith in Democracy.

Five days before a crucial deadline to leave the European Union, nobody knows with certainty what it is going to happen. There is a power struggle between the Executive namely the Prime Minister and the British government and Parliament. Parliament has been wrestling control away from the Executive and this poses questions about the foundations of Democracy that stands on Division of Powers - Executive, Legislative and Judiciary.

The authority of the British Government has been eroded but also the authority of the leaders of political parties has been eroded with renewed accusations of Anti-Semitism made against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party and of Islamophobia against the Conservative Party as a whole. This is happening when unity within the two main political parties should exist to ensure sustainable governance.

Since the General Election of 2017, there has been a hang Parliament in which the Conservative Party had to negotiate an alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. There have been so many conflicts that several key members of both the Conservative Party and of the Labour party decided to resign their membership of their political parties and even a Liberal Democrat MP resigned the whip of his party because of disagreement with regards to his political party's position concerning Brexit.

To the already complex political situation, where do the British Armed Forces stand? Apart from a scandal created by the revelation that active members of the Armed Forces have joined a now banned organisation called National Action, a video was published showing members of the Armed Forces doing shooting exercises using a poster with the image of Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Opposition, as a target.

Fears regarding an European Parliament Election that Britain might have to take part in have encouraged political parties that the mass media have classified as Far Right to participate in the said European Parliament Election at a time when in Continental Europe there is a mood that would produce great political gains for political forces opposed to the European Union Project.

In France, where last time around Emmanuel Macron was offered as an alternative to the then Front National and now Rassemblement National, President Emmanuel Macron is not just the least popular President in the history of France. For the first time, the French people hate a French President. This puts Rassemblement National in pole position to obtain a vast number of seats in the European Parliament.

In Italy with a political alliance of Right and Left and in Germany there is the possibility of getting many anti-EU Members of the European Parliament Elected. In recent elections in Germany, Alternative für Deutschland entered every single one of the sixteen state Parliaments and is the official opposition in the Federal Parliament.

With this in mind, will the present authorities of the European Union agree to an extension that would allow a massive number of anti-EU Members of Parliament to be elected and make decisions regarding the European Commission and the long term budget of the European Union? 

The coming week promises to be even more crucial not just for Britain but also for the future of the European Union.
