Not all immigration is equal.


So Amber Rudd has resigned. Is it even her fault though ?
The immigration dept hasn't been fit for purpose for years. I don't think for one moment that was happened to the unfortunate people of the wind rush generation is racially motivated. That's usually the go to stance of the left-racists.They do love that word. I tend to go with the most obvious answer; our government -be it Labour or Tory- isn't fit for purpose.

The incompetence of our politicians never fails to surprise me. The British parliamentary system appears to put parliamentary procedure and the 'status quo' before policy and thinking.
What we really need in the UK is a character a little bit like Trump- but with brains. I'm no fan of his, he is bad for the environment among other things. But in his defense he doesn't do politics the political and bureaucratic way, and no matter what you say about the man, he is getting things done. Okay not all good but at least he is shaking things up. We could do with a character like that over here-only more aware and thoughtful.

Mind you I cant be the only one who would love to see intelligent people running the country. Scientists,engineers, entrepreneurs and business minded geniuses- not politicians.
Imagine if immigration was run by people who had a basic grasp of statistics and facts and could decide which immigrants -if any- a certain area needs. Someone who could look at immigration who doesn't have to worry about party loyalties and can just use cold hard facts.
Someone who can see that mass immigration does push down wages and raise rents and therefore house prices.
Its not rocket science, but left to our politicians who are so concerned about public perceptions the media and elections that they just end up going round and round in circles.

I recently heard about a local authority that is now ran by a guy who used to be very senior in the private sector. He is actually running it like a business. Trying to get value for money, rather than just concentrating on how to spend the money they get in from Council tax and local government.

On the immigration debate. The wind rush generation were needed and very welcome. They and their descendants are as British as myself, and what they are enduring is ridiculous incompetence from government, not racism,just incompetence. 

Successive governments always look for the easy answer. They did it with the Child Support Agency. They went after the guys who worked and paid maintenance. The people in the system who were easy to persecute and therefore hit targets and they left the negligent and useless fathers alone.
You cant open a paper now without reading about some easy target getting deported, just to hit a target or to fool the British people that the government is taking our concerns about immigration seriously.

Well they still ain't listening to us. We don't want innocent and deserving people kicked out. Just the ones who are abusing the system or trying to bring our country down. And we want people brought in that are a genuine benefit for the country. Professionals. For example we already have enough people to work in retail we don't need any more.
It really isn't rocket science.

Loony radical liberalism.


Anyone who is familiar with his blog will know I fire my most scathing criticism at liberalism...
Why?
Because I'm a liberal !!!
I'm quite happy to let the academics dissect and decide what kind of liberal I am. My explanation is -middle of the road liberal. Yeah I know that sounds boring, So many people now want to be edgy and 'individual', or pretend to be. 
Nope...middle of the road is cool by me.

I, like most people have views from left to right.
I believe that everyone has the right to choose who they fall in love with or marry. I'm pro-choice. Pro freedom of religion -or none.
Any adult- in their right mind- should have the choice to live their life as they see fit and be protected from abuse and harm for their choices.
But, this insane bullshit that is gathering pace about gender is ridiculous. There are two genders -male and female,simple.

I believe that science is right when it says that men and women exist on a sliding scale.
To over simplify it...Total female  oestrogen at at one end, and total male testosterone at the other. Every human being exists within that scale. I also believe that most gender differences are down to cultural biases and programming.
But for Christ sake, can we just have male and female. Does it matter if a loud speaker announcement at the train station may offend some overly sensitive people for addressing the commuters as 'ladies and gentlemen'. Or that expectant mothers are now to be referred to as 'expectant people'. 

Very few people care about other peoples life choices. Prosecute the bigots who verbally or physically attack them and leave the rest of us out of your games. I think there are far fewer homophobes and transphobic people in society than the virtue signalling left would have us believe. I also believe that a vast majority of the LGBT community ain't interested in all this virtue signalling form the looney left.
Most just want to live a quiet life-like the rest of us and not feel marginalised or judged.  Which is ironic because the fringe loons are drawing attention on them with the impression that all LGBT have huge chips on their shoulders. Surely this is counter productive. 
Here's an idea , if you virtue signalling lefties wish to change things and really go after the homophobes and bigots;go after the religious right...and that includes Islam.

This modern day absolute ridiculous bullshit about gender is-it appears to me- just insecure people wanting attention and to be different. Its an extension of this self obsessed social media world that we live in now. The look at me ,please see I'm different ...please please please.

And it even sadder because it all appeared too be sent into overdrive by a shallow vacuous reality star that belongs to a god awful family. He used to be an Olympian , and now wishes to be called Kaitlan . I'm not even going to google there name to see if its spelt properly ,I hold this person in such disdain.
And... I did read somewhere that he still has male parts . So sorry call me transphobic if you like but ...that's still a guy. A guy in a dress is still a guy. A guy who has had his bits cut of is not a woman, its a guy- with no bits.
They should have absolutely no fear and be fully protected and allowed to go about their own business without fear of violence or abuse...but they are still a guy.

Christ sake even President Obama said that the trans movement was the new civil rights movement. WHAT?
So the billions of women living as second class citizens isn't the new civil rights movement.
Plus if I was an African American and Obama said that the the trans movement was on a par with black Americans wanting equality in the latter half of the last century , I would be shouting
'WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT?'

I don't give a damn if someone does or does not refer to me as a white heterosexual male. My name is fine by me..
So why the hell are so many people changing society just to please there jumped up little egos and insecurities. The only reassuring point in this is that I don't think its that many people who are campaigning for this. We sadly live in a time when every opinion -no mater how ridiculous it is- has credence, and people in authority are afraid to say 'whoa this is crazy'.
'Virtue signalling'

We are told we have to listen to them and take them seriously.
Hopefully this will all come to an end soon. Although a really worrying trend in history is this; when a group tries to dictate and demand from society sometimes society eventually turns on them, and no one wants that.

Why are so many people wanting to label themselves. Because the left love to place people in boxes, in tribes The left love tribal politics. 
To them there is only a Muslim. They are as guilty as the EDL for this narrow categorisation. Where in reality there are good Muslims and bad Muslims. There are good forms of Islam and there are regressive. There are Muslims who just wish to live life and there are others who wish to end it.
But to the left we have to treat them all the same...Muslim.

They do this with just about everyone. There are only black people. Considering that white humans basically cover Europe,North America and Australasia that means there are a hell of a lot of dark skinned people on this planet. And as for what they define as black [African] there is more genetic diversity between Southern Africans and Northern Africans than there is between an African and a European. 
But to the left there is just black.

The same goes for Asian grooming gangs. If I were Asian I would be furious that the term for a huge continent with huge diversity is being grouped together and named as a grooming gang. The same goes for Muslim grooming gangs. Again for many Muslims this must be so offensive to them.
A more accurate description of these grooming gangs is- Pakistani Muslim. But how dare we point the finger at Pakistanis; but its okay to point at the whole continent of Asia.

The left do the same with people they hate. Israel is Jewish but it does not represent all Jews. But to the looney left they are all the same; they hate Jews. Antisemitism runs right through the left. Not because they hate the religion of Judaism, but because they hate capitalism and they think Jews run the capitalist system.

Even more sinister is the way the left love to lump white people together. We are all racist; its in our genes. Why? Because of empire and history.
Fucking bullshit.
But if these left wing naval gazing morons would read more they would see that empire was not built by the white masses. It was built by the ruling elite who used the white masses to do their bidding. Many times these same elites searched out particularity greedy rulers in the countries that were ruled under empire .Pay them huge rewards and they would keep their own people down.

I love it when Scots with chips on their shoulders blame the English for everything . Whereas what really happened was greedy lairds kept there own people down for huge rewards from the English royalty. And when English armies marched north it wasn't a volunteer army , but an army of impoverished and put down people who had no choice but to march under their lords banner.
But its hard to argue with someone who is so full of hate and find it easier to blame another person,country, colour or religion for everything that is wrong in their lives.

I wish we could a s species starting looking forward and stop wanting to be victims. What used to happen in the west to gays,women,black people,transvestites etc. etc. etc. was disgusting and horrible. Very few of the perpetrators are still alive the vast majority of us have never placed another human in chains. We have never subjugated a woman. We have never screamed puff down the street. Or shouted go home to a immigrant family and we have never said anything to a transvestite or transsexual. So why are we all having to suffer because of the actions of a few bigots and racists ?

Please can we end this victim mentality.

The Syria strikes.


I have spent the last few days listening too, watching and reading various media outlets. We have now bombed specific targets in Syria and its very interesting to observe how the media was and is reporting this, and what is peoples reactions.

There is undeniably a lot of people here in the UK disbelieving the west's reason for taking direct offensive action against Syria.
To be against it on pacifist grounds or afraid of some third world war is not what I'm interested in.

To be against the strikes because you disbelieve our own government is what interests me. Not because you disbelieve our government and that you should blindly believe everything they tell you – a bit of scepticism is a good thing- but because some people would rather defend Putin.
I'm not going to defend our government. I distrust them as much as the next person; and I sincerely wish this wasn't the case. I want to live in a country where I believe in my government . Where I respect my political leaders; but sadly I don't. I'm also not here to defend Putin or Assad either.

That mother of all arseholes Tony Blair is one of the main reasons for this mindset of distrust. He lied to government and he lied to the people; and yet he's still there trying to control world events . How is that man still at large. Why has his obscene wealth not being taken from him and given to the families of British soldiers for whom he destroyed. Why has he not stood trial for the countless thousands of deaths he is responsible for.
The man is partly responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the middle east since his toadying to Dubya resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and had knock on effects to Isis, London 7/7 and young girls being murdered in Manchester.
Blair even lied to the British people when he opened the doors to mass immigration. His aim- it eventually came out- was to keep the Tories out forever. Another lie from our political leaders.
Paedophile gangs on the loose for decades and attempts to cover it up. And they wonder why we don't trust them.
The sad truth is. Blair is pro-bombing Syria. That sets alarm bells of to so many people.

But its not just him. Blair has been gone a long time why has our faith in our political leaders not been restored ?
Myself, its quite obvious to see. What Blair did resulted in huge distrust in our politicians. His actions alone could take years or even a generation to repair.
But other things have happened as well.
Look at Brexit. If you are for or against is not the issue. The lies, scaremongering and absolute bullshit that we were bombarded with-from both sides- was another huge 'how the hell can we believe anything that politicians tell us' moment. We were told it would be the best thing ever and the worst thing ever- by our political leaders. And since the vote to leave barely a day goes by without some politicians trying to overturn democracy simply because they don't agree with the result. Another reason not to trust them.

We had the expenses scandal. All politicians were as bad, irrespective of party. Then they arrogantly treat us like fools for questioning their grubby money grabbing greed. They think they have a god given right to our hard earned cash, for themselves and to just through away as they see fit. HS2, foreign aid -I'm not a fan of benefits, whether its the family on the dole or a country, it only breeds dependency. Then you have all the quangos,workshops committees etc, just throwing OUR money away.

We have also had years of austerity and we get told even of our latest chancellor that 'it was unnecessary' WHAT !

Also we see our politicians are so blinded by party politics -party comes first- that they will oppose a good idea ,just because the other side thought of it. All we see as voters, is two houses full of overpaid, corrupt self serving party loyalists. We also now have a new elite in Europe and the UK. The royals have become major celebrities. Its political dynasties and multinationals that is now taking over.
Lets be honest we haven't got bloody clue what is going on.

What about the media. Surely we should know the truth by listening to our media.
But Don't forget huge parts of the media were banging the drums to go into Iraq. Now huge parts of the media are squarely pointing the finger at Assad and Putin for the chemical attacks. But lets not forget huge parts of the media jumped on the WMDs in Iraq.
I'm not saying the media lies. But now there is so much competition from so many media outlets that the sensationalistic media are constantly trying to outdo each other. And as we all know negative media and news sells more than good news. Plus it has to be said there used to be journalists that commanded respect. Reporters that were in-bedded in war zones. Now we are told to rely on footage shot from a camera phone from god knows who. Which side he's on.?What's their politics ? etc.
Neither wonder so many of us doubt so much.

We also now have social media in the mix. I came of social media completely because I was so sick of the echo chamber it enforces. Even with the best will in the world its very hard to not get in one.
Even if you try to be even handed with what you share, so many people are now offended if you post an opposing view to theirs that they end up cutting contact with you, so you still end up with like minded people on your friends list.
No matter what your views on any subject are you should never just communicate with people with the same. You need opposing views to help you develop and come to the truth. Its very hard when the very people you wish to debate with have unfriended you because you 'hurt their feelings or sensitivities'.
Some of my favourite commentators are Maajid Nawaz, George Galloway and Peter Hitchens to name just a few. All very different and I don't agree with any of them all the time. But that's healthy. We need to all open up our minds to differing opinions. For Christ's sake, I read the mail,telegraph,times and guardian. Just to try and get an even handed view on the world.

So back to Syria. Anyone with an independent thought cant help thinking...did they do it. Is this a ploy by certain players to restart the cold war. After all building and rebuilding defence mechanisms is hugely profitable for some very influential people.
Did Putin order the novochuck attack in the UK; or was it an equally sinister personal motive from unknown figures.
Is Assad even the bad guy we are told. Is Putin?

Guess what I don't know THE answer to any of these questions. I have MY answers ; but I could be wrong. I'm just a guy with no influence and no access to the real wheels of power.
I can -and do- read as many different sources as possible. The daily mail to the guardian and everything in between. I also read political and historical books as well that show how easy it is to direct a population to an outcome that political masters require. So the very thought of perhaps what were told is a fantasy is not at far fetched at all.
[see a previous post on why we need to open our reading matter up to encompass opposing views]

But at least I'm being honest. My view of world events could be 100 percent B....S..., it also could be spot on. Unlike so many people on the left and right and everywhere in between I don't have the arrogance to think I am right. I DONT KNOW.

I have spent time doing what you may call thought experiments. I have thought through the theories I've heard . From the sane to the conspiratorial. And lets be honest even conspiracy theories make sense-if you want or need them to.

Quick example. I once spent an hour listening to – I had to sit on my hands and strain to keep my mouth closed- a neo Nazi telling people why the holocaust did not happen. My god was he knowledgable. He even knew how many trees or coal it takes to burn a body.
It was amazing to listen to a very very in-depth analysis of why not one Jew died at the hands of Hitler's henchmen.
ALL ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT MIND, but very interesting to listen to how a conspiracy theory can fool certain people. If I was primed to look for a Zionist plot to run the world, the inane nonsense spouted would have made total sense to me. People who are looking for a hidden motive or a villain hiding in the shadows will quite often find one.

So back to Putin. The theories that he has been set up or that the west's war machine needs to restart the cold war all sounds very plausible. But so does the theory that Assad is a monster and that he backed by Putin has gassed innocent children.

The real problem is this. We live in such a world now where you have to get into one camp or another. You have to be with us or against us-as the mad US president once said [ by the way who would have ever thought that one of Bush's predecessors would make him look like a genius].
Guess what I haven't got a f***** clue what's going on any more. I sometimes wish I could be like so many other people and just blindly believe what I believe. I did that once before and look how that turned out.
But I cant, I want to see both sides. Read all the evidence. And make my own mind up.

Sadly those days are over. Untrustworthy politicians, political parties and 24 hour sensational media have put an end to that.
I don't have any of the answers...but at least I'm humble and honest enough to admit it.
