Nationalism, religion, tribal politics and Right/Left wing ideologies are tearing this country apart.

There really is no other option. This is definitely my last posting on here . I'm not going to get in to deep about this but I've made a decision. I'm like most people I hold conservative, liberal and left wing views on many aspects of society and the world. But sadly most of my life I have know nothing but thatcherism. Not only under the tories but also under new Labour. The result of this is things change very slowly and the rich get richer.<br />
<br />
Corbyns Labour is different. I like the fact they have some radical ideas to change society. Christ we need to change.<br />
Okay I don't agree on some things (and they have to expell the nuts) but the things I do agree on are important.<br />
We cant keep on going they way we are . The rich getting richer and greed being the biggest motivation for so many.<br />
<br />
So heres hoping that labour gets in. We need to take the world back from greedy businessmen and make it fit for all peopleAlistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-32385224050260156392019-09-27T11:39:00.000-07:002019-09-27T11:44:21.630-07:00Not everything is a lieWhy is it than when people see there's a problem with one thing then there must be a problem with everything. The far right and the far left are particularly open to this mindset. This mindset is also prevalent amongst many of the people who speak out against the lunatics on the left and right who are stifling debate. Many of these I strongly admire.<br />
<br />
The conspiracy theories are many. Some are true. But once they find a whole in the fabric of reality many more wholes open up.<br />
The government has lied to us about one thing. Therefore they must lie about everything!<br />
They have totally messed up brexit therefore there must be a dark plot that we don't know about.<br />
The trans movement is about trying to destroy the family.<br />
Putin is not a bad guy. We're trying to frame him.<br />
And the best one is climate change. Yes world governments and the rich elite are money worshipping pricks especially ours. But that doesn't mean that the thousands of scientists are lieing about climate change. Nutters like Jeremy Corbyns brother- Piers- to Nigel Farage.<br />
And then there's others who I strongly admire like Candace Owens who fall into this mindset as well. The elite lie so everything they say is lies.<br />
Myself I don't believe a thing politicians tell me but I tend to believe experts in a chosen field. If a credible intelligent expert tells me that brexit will be bad or that climate change will be terrible I'm not arrogant to think I know better than they do.<br />
<br />
I can't remember where I read this and I may be paraphrasing here but here goes<br />
" a conspiracy theory is a way for the unintelligent to sound intellectual,".<br />
<br />
I tend to agree with John Cleese on what is wrong." The older I get the more I realise that no one in authority has a clue what they are doing".<br />
<br />
The only thing I do know is this. There is no grand plan by some global elite. The rich are rich through greed and luck. The hear all and end all is money. It comes before everything , even our home. There is no George Soros like character manipulating the world to mould it to his desire.<br />
Life is nothing more than a sequence of events. But sadly we allow the greedy and arrogant to dominate many of these events.<br />
<br />
Stop falling for their distractions. There manufactured conspiracies. While we are all talking about the illuminati, brexit, hidden agendas, flat earth, fake moon landings, 911 etc. The rich and greedy are taking more and more of us . They aren't planning it that way -I honestly cant see them having the intelligence- They are just greedy opportunists<br />

There's far to much political correctness. There's far to many people deliberately looking to get offended. There's just so much judgement of others who think differently to yourself.<br />
<br />
There is so much virtue signalling on social media, that's why I don't do social media at all. Its a shame because these platforms can be so good in changing the world. They can however be used far to often for building social bubbles for yourself and others who think just like you.<br />
<br />
I could spend hours writing about all that's wrong with the world and especially this country. But what's the point . Open most media either digital or print and you can read all about it.<br />
<br />
I'm an environmentalist. I'm a vegan - who often relapses back to vegetarian and I'm a minimalist. I'm also a 54 year old man who is disgusted by my generation and the selfishness that seems to define it. This country is now full of midlife crisis men and women who care very little about anything but themselves. Its all about the car; the house and all the other possessions that they think they need and screw the next generation.<br />
<br />
I've been critical myself of many of the younger generation. I've said they need a reality check. That the world does not work like they want it to.<br />
<br />
Well I was wrong. Who am I or anyone else to criticise them for not wanting to belong to the world that I know.<br />
<br />
If they want to be woke.<br />
If they want 73 genders.<br />
If they take offence at things that my generation doesnt.<br />
If they wish to live their lives in social media . That's up to them.<br />
<br />
With all this also comes respect for each other. Respect for the planet. Respect for animals.<br />
You don't have all the answers. Your young and idealistic.<br />
BUT, your coming from a better starting place than my generation. You have a better grounding than my generation and my peers. Don't make our mistakes and try not to make new ones.<br />
<br />
This is your world now. I think you may actually treat it better than we did.<br />
Good luck.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-57787738791404688892019-06-13T06:35:00.002-07:002019-06-13T06:36:24.099-07:00State owned farmers<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Agriculture.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">...Or
to call it by its proper title. The so called self employed business
subsidised by the state for Tory voters and donors -depending on how
many acres the farmer owns...</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Now
I have nothing against farmers. There's a saying up here 'you have
to piss with the dick you have'. In other words if there's a system
in place that encourages farmers to be dependent on state handouts
you cant really blame them for taking advantage of that system. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">How
in a supposed modern country can we allow a system that pays millions
to self employed business owners. Who must spend more time making
sure the paperwork is done to get the government handout than they do
running the business. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They get paid to cut the hedges on the sides of
the road -so as the birds have no where to nest or no berries for
the winter. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They get paid to cut the verges , usually just as the
flowers have come through. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The unnecessary work they carry out is
staggering. How many of these jobs would they do if they weren't
getting paid to do them.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Imagine
a gas fitter or electrician having this kind of set </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">up. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">..'Yes Mr Smith. You just keep rewiring that same house..the state will
pay you. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Its ridiculous. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They get paid to grow crops that get the
most subsidies rather than what sells best. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">They get paid to destroy
the land. If the land is not ready to farm they don't get the
subsidy. So don't leave them trees or meadows. Where's the encouragement to be look after the environment. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The roads are now full of oversized tractors [all paid for by the taxpayer], destroying the asphalt
and tearing up the verges. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The damage is now that bad on many country
roads that you cant see where the road ends and the verge begins-
well until you blow your tyre out in the potholes and ridges.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I
know its not all plain sailing for farmers. The system is now stacked
in favor of the big guys. The farmers who own huge swathes of land.
As time has gone by the smallholding farmer has been bought up by the </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">neighboring</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> larger landholder. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Years later then this larger
landholder has no choice but to sell to the even bigger farmer...and
so on and so on. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The subsidy system is really biased towards these
mono-crop producing landowners. But I find it hard to feel sorry for the little farmer who has lost out to the bigger farmer.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">They should have realised that one day the greedy system that they </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">exploited</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> would devour them as well</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We've
all done it, Sat in the pub,face,works canteen and numerous other
places, complaining and discussing the state of the country. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">How many
times have you heard common sense coming out of the mouths of friends
family and colleagues. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">How many times have you sat in company and
just heard the words like 'Christ these idiots couldn't organise a
piss-up in a brewery'. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">How many times a day do you watch the news or
read a newspaper and think with incredulity how inept and moronic our
elected and un-elected leaders are. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">When I say elected I off course I
mean the local cllrs right up to MPs. Un-elected are the army of civil
servants . Many of whom have gotten there by nepotism or kissing the
right arse.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Collectively
the IQ is not as high as it should be. Okay I may be being unfair
there to call them all thick. I bet there is some talent out there but
it gets snuffed out by the mass incompetence of their peers. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Mad
as a bucket of frogs comes to mind. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">...If
you have a bucket of frogs and one attempts to get out [or go its own
way] the rest of the frogs reach up and drag it back down. The
British political and social system in a nutshell...</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Lets look at the big one. The one that we Brits are most obsessed
with-the NHS.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To
criticise the NHS in the 21<sup>st</sup> century anything else but
wonderful is akin to saying there is no god in the 15<sup>th</sup>.
Christ-sake do you get attacked for it. ..So here I go. Bring on the
hate.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
NHS is not fit for purpose. We live in a country that allows, in fact
encourages, its residents to drink too much eat to much-and the wrong
stuff-and drive everywhere. We are a nation of fat unhealthy and lazy
people. THEN,when the damage is done the NHS is expected to jump in
and treat you. All paid by the next generation of tax payers. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
poor sods who are desperately trying to find a job and buy a house,
and also pay for the people who came before them and abused there
bodies. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
bet that if we lived in a country that was full of self aware people
who actually cared about what they are doing to there bodies we would
need an NHS a fraction of the size. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">An NHS that could concentrate of
people who need treatment because of accidents or conditions that are
not of their own making. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Imagine
all the kids who have not yet had a chance to screw their bodies up
who are or may become seriously ill. The poor souls with hereditary </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">diseases</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> or genetic abnormalities. Imagine how much funding and help
would be there to help them. But instead millions of fat lazy drunk
people soak the NHS dry. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
there's the NHS itself. The way its ran. Incompetence on a monumental
scale. The waste must be incredible. But again why worry, the tax
payer will pick up the bill!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Why
do we waste so much money on people who genuinely don't want to help
themselves.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
NHS isn't there to cure. Its there to prescribe drugs . Its there to
allow business to become millionaires and millionaires to become
billionaires. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A
population with diabetes, taking statins and god knows what else is a
nice little earner for the politicians friends. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
came to the conclusion a long time ago that our governments
-labour,Tory,liberal -are not interested in saving our tax money.
They are not interested in spending it wisely. They don't care that
they have their hands in our pockets. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We
should live in a country that trusts our leaders. We should trust
that they are fiscally responsible. We should know that every penny
they take of us is being used to make our society better. But its
not. They don't care about that. They just care about keeping the
money going around. Our collective pockets are deep. Their greed is
incalculable. Their dishonesty criminal. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Of
course the NHS could be ran better. Privatisation isn't the answer
though. Healthcare should not be for profit.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But
we need it ran by people who are fiscally competent. People who do
know how to run an organisation. And if they fail they get sacked. I
mean sacked. Not sacked with a million pounds severance.
Sacked,escorted to the door and slung out. It happens to the rest of
us plebs so why should these people get away with it. The problem is
we have people in charge who appear to answer to drug companies
before the taxpayer. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
don't buy into this 'bring back the matrons ' BS. Matrons were good
at caring for people. They shouldn't be running the business end. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And
yes the NHS is a business. They buy drugs and equipment from the
private sector. So it should be ran like a business. Not a private
business but a state ran business. Nationalisation. Ah quick stone
him. Infidel for even suggesting such a thing. But a </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">nationalised</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">industry</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> is totally </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">different</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> to </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">nationalism</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The NHS needs
nationalised. I mean properly nationalised. Not like the old days of
nationalization that did not work. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've
seen it first hand. I worked for British gas just as it was coming
out of nationalisation. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Christ it was bad...22 levels of
management form the actual workers to the chairman And every level of
management was top heavy with the most useless people I hAve ever
come across. There was no accountability for cost. The taxpayers hole
'again' was deep. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">And the unions didn't help. They had so much power
that even if any decent manager wanted to get rid of someone useless
they couldn't. The unions were so strong.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
couldn't believe the waste and incompetence I seen there. I left
school and worked on farms then building sites. I knew what work was.
Then I joined British Gas. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Start
work a 8 am-but actually leave the yard about 9. Them umpteen coffees
wont drink themselves you know.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Travel
to the job. That could be anything for a couple of miles to 20 or
thirty. Another cuppa. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Dinner
was 12 , so depending how far you were from the yard you would set of
accordingly to get there for 12- oh and leave enough time to grab the
chippy or pie shop. an hour for dinner would take you to 1 pm then
travel back to the job. Finishing time would be 4.15 so again you had
to leave the job with plenty of time to get back to the yard. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">...And we
were the ones that worked!...</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">All
the levels of management did somewhere in between sod all and fuck
all... and their was hundreds of them.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But
that doesn't mean nationalization doesn't work. The nationalization
of the past didn't work.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And lets be honest very few things </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">have</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> actually been really privatised. They are all </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">subsided</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> to the hilt by tax payers cash. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">Wouldn't</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> it be better to just take them back under </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">government</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> control.</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
environmental movement.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I'm
an environmentalist. I love nature. It breaks my heart how we are
destroying our plant mostly for profit. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So
why aren't I marching and protesting ?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Because
I genuinely believe that the environmental movement, to many times,
is making things worse. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
come from a working class background. Council house and state
schooling system. I don't class myself as working class, I don't
class myself as anything really. I care deeply about the planet as
I'm sure many others from my background does. So why don't I and
these others not march and protest. Because we feel no connection
with the school teachers, and social workers or the kids of school
teachers and social workers who are. These people far to often come
over as sanctimonious and condescending and it turns many of us away
from them.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
can give an example; the green party.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A
few years ago I joined the green party, and I went to a few meetings
to get to know them.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Very
nice people, lovely people indeed. But the kind of people I could
socialise with , not really. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
knew of two events that I considered attending. The first was
protest against a nuclear waste suppository in the area. I knew the
greens had a information table up so I went to support them. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">As
I turned the corner into the square where they were I was met with
-white boys in dreadlocks, playing the bongos and a pretentious hippy
woman dancing in front of the table...I kept walking. No way was I
embarrassing myself by standing with them.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The
other time the local party had an information stall in town centre.
Again I thought I would support them. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Nope, I kept walking again.
Just as their table came into view they had decided to have a -mass
dying- to show people what was happening in Gaza. </span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Again a good cause
but , no way was I going to be associated with a load of social
workers laying on the pavement with their arms and legs akimbo. Far
to embarrassing. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">As
I have already stated I come from a working class background but I'm
not working class. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">No
tattoos, hate football. Own my own home. I'm not patriotic; the only
time I feel pride for my country is when it does something worth
being proud of. I couldn't give a damn about what's gone before, its
in the past, its history. Likewise neither do I feel shame for what
has happened in the past; its history. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Too
many times though these same protesters are the same ones who display
white guilt or shame for Britain history. These are usually the same
people who will defend peoples backwards cultural practices just
because they aren't white British.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">And
these are too often the same people who tend to come from the
regressive left. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Also
far to many times they have the following kind of mentality to the
answers to combat climate change.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">If
we all had an allotment the world would be fine.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">If
we all ate organic the world would be fine.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">If
we all burnt wood -because its carbon neutral- the world would be
fine.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Well
no we wouldn't. There are too many people on the planet. That's the
big issue there that no one talks about. There are too many human
beings.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">European
birth rates have plummeted. That's why we have had mass immigration.
Our political leaders don't let people migrate here on humanitarian
grounds. We need more consumers. Our capitalist societies need ever
more consumers. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But
'as I say' the green movement tends to left leaning and will not wake
up this very real fact, and until they do the world is fxxxxd</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So its
happened. After months of 'will they wont they' seven MPs have left
the labour party ; 8 now of writing this this morning.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Well I say
the Labour party but in effect it has now become the Socialist
Workers Party. A once proscribed organisation by new Labour. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've met
the SWP many times. Vile people who pretend they are warriors for
social justice when in fact they are bitter and twisted inadequates who blame their every ill in their pathetic lives on the government,
the rich...and the Jews. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The likes of the BNP blame their pathetic
lives on the government , the rich , the Jews ...and all immigrants. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Basically the only difference between the SWP and the BNP is their
views on immigrants. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">But back
to the small group of defectors. I hope this is genuine and will
become a real collective of independents. I've written that the
problem with politics is political parties. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">All
parties have some good and some bad ideas. Political parties tie you
into their ideology and ensure that you put party before country. The
only way to a real and fair democracy is individuals standing for
parliament. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The Tories
are biased towards their business donors. Labour is biased towards
the unions.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Yes we
need business but you don't donate to a political party for the good
of the country. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">You donate
because it will benefit you!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The same
goes for Labour. The unions should not be tied to a political party.
Too many times all the unions crave is power and influence. They
aren't in it for the British worker, just themselves. And like the
Tories this external influence takes the party in a direction that
doesn't benefit the people, just each other. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Politics,
to be fair, should be publicly funded. Surely a room full of
academics could come up with a fair system to put this into practice.
This will never happen though. The only way it would be looked at is
by the party that is in power. And as we all know promises go out the
window as soon as the keys to number 10 are handed over.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So 'The
Independent group'. Lets hope it is what it sounds like; independent.
That it encourages people to stand as genuine independent MPs . Free
from interference from a controlling body. Of course they should have
a code of conduct . A guideline of basic principles.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Such as no
platform of racism- genuine racism- not the accusation of racism just
to stifle debate and shut down an opposing idea. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">No
platform for sexism-genuine sexism. Again not just the accusation to
shut down debate and stifle debate.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">This
should be right across the board. No transphobia. Homophobia etc. But
again with the caveat that genuine phobics are not allowed to stand
and not just the accused to stifle debate and discussion.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The only
difference between genuine independents should be policies. And not
pseudo intellectual arguments about people,race,ethnicity,sex,gender
etc...these principles should be left up to academics to discuss.,
not politicians. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Most
politicians do not have the expertise to debate issues like this. In
fact most politicians don't have the expertise to decide on many
things. They should seek advice from experts and then when they have
done this THEY SHOULD LISTEN.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">The world
is getting more dangerous politically. The masses are so
disillusioned with the political class that nationalist parties are
gaining more and more ground. The far right is on the march. From
Brazil to Russia.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Christ
sake we have a perma-tan buffoon sitting in the white house. He got
there not because America has somehow gone more racist or small
minded. No, he go there because the average American feels no
connection to the political process. It happened here with brexit and
its happening right across the world.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Imagine
what a different world it would be if politicians didn't have this
unshakable belief in their own worth and actually did what was best,
not what they thought was best.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

I voted to leave the EU in the hope it would fire a shot across their bows and they would get shaken and sort out the very real problems the institution has.<br />
Sadly though it has not happened. it looks like we are in very reall danger of 'forever more' being governed by homegrown morons...labour, tory and liberal.<br />
<br />
After seeing the absolute shit storm that has become brexit it cant be worse to remain members of the EU. Surely no one can run the UK worse than the UK government. The only thing all our three main parties are experts on is ...politics. Its like the worse episode of Game of thrones. Everyone fighting for power and money ,but unlike GOT, not getting anywhere. And their isn't even any dragons or nudity to keep us entertained.<br />
<br />
Our whole political class has one thing on its mind- process protocol and agenda. They don't give a toss about the country. Party politics and self serving egos is the only common cause among them.<br />
<br />
We do need a peoples vote. Yes I know we have had a referendum but I don't think we knew of the complexities of leaving. And that included you as well remainers.<br />
You arrogantly accuse leavers of not knowing what they voted for. Neither did you.<br />
We all voted on our preconceived world view. You knew buger all about the EU as well.<br />
<br />
The future is indeed scary out of the EU. The thought of having a tory government without any real opposition is indeed terrifying.<br />
Labour and liberal where the fuck are you. Get of your sanctimonious high horses and start representing the people.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-49407330272175021132019-01-27T00:29:00.003-08:002019-01-27T01:27:14.388-08:00An open apology.<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">What
a fool I was. I acted like an uneducated small minded moron.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
foolishly voted to leave the EU. The most important vote I will ever
have -perhaps- in my lifetime and I blew it.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">My
whole life I can barely remember any good news regarding the European
Union. So much of the British media only reports nothing but
negative. This stuff soaks into your psyche and whether you want it
to or not it does go towards forming your world view. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I'm
an avid reader of books, but lets be honest I've never come across
any on the EU and how it works. They will be out eventually but in
the context of history.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So
a lifetime of negativity about the EU and then posh boy Cameron -just
to destroy the UKIP voter who would otherwise vote conservative-
gives me a vote on staying or leaving the EU. Wise decision indeed!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
had very little information at hand about any good aspects of EU
membership; and Christ I had loads of bad information on the evil
that is the EU. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Yes
of course I could have listened to the very wise people shouting at
me and belittling me to vote remain. Eddie Izzard,Bob Geldoff,Gary
Linekar and oh so many more. Why did I not listen to these 'highly
educated and worldly wise celebrities'?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Of
course they were backed up by other giants of society such as Cameron
and Ozbourne. Inbred Etonians must know what they are talking about !
</span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">There
really was a huge amount of brain power talking down to me and
telling me I was a racist,xenophobic, nationalist and a little
Englander,</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Why
did I not listen to my betters!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Looking
back with hindsight the answer is pretty obvious now. After a
lifetime of negativity of the EU and then getting told how to think
by celebrities it is all so clear now. I know what I should have
done...</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">All
I had to do to get the facts about the EU was go to the airport and
book a ticket to Brussels. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
all I had to do was go the European parliament. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I just had to ask to see the accounts to see how much the UK gave
them. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I just had to go and read every piece of legislation that they have
ever produced to see if it was good or bad. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I could have spent a few days hanging around parliament and see
exactly how it works.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I just had to wander myself in and have a meeting with the
commissioners and see exactly what they did. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I could have had a working lunch with Schultz and <span style="background-color: yellow;">his cronies </span>and find
out about what they did and how they get elected. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I just had to get on a few flights and go and visit all the other
member states and have a word with their governments and see what
their relationship with the EU was like and how much they paid in and
got out. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">I
suppose then I could have popped over to Germany and asked Angela
Merkel why she took it on herself and encouraged thousands of
refugees to risk their lives heading through Europe to Germany. And
the immense pressure it has put on the southern countries, not to
mention the thousands of deaths of these desperate refugees caused
by her holding out a virtue signalling prize of utopia. <span style="font-style: normal;">A
cynical person</span><i> </i><span style="font-style: normal;">could
say-</span><i> she only did it to show the world 'hey forget about
that little moustachioed psycho who took Europe into war and killed
millions of Jews . Us Germans [and especially me] are really really
really nice now; trust us. </i></span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A
cynical person could say that.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">So'
then after my little fact finding jaunt around Europe and getting the
truth about the EU I could have come home and shared my new found
knowledge with my circle of friends and family. There you go. job
done . We're still members and everything is fine and dandy. No
Brexit. No absolute shambles from May's government ;everything
remains the same.</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So Amber Rudd has
resigned. Is it even her fault though ?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Someone who can see
that mass immigration does push down wages and raise rents and
therefore house prices.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It really isn't rocket
science.</div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Anyone who is familiar
with his blog will know I fire my most scathing criticism at
liberalism...</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Why?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Because I'm a liberal
!!!</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Nope...middle of the road is cool by me.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I, like most people have views from left
to right.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But, this insane
bullshit that is gathering pace about gender is ridiculous. There are two
genders -male and female,simple.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I believe that science
is right when it says that men and women exist on a sliding scale.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.<br />
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'. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.<br />
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. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Christ sake even
President Obama said that the trans movement was the new civil rights movement. WHAT?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So the billions of
women living as second class citizens isn't the new civil rights
movement.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
'WHAT THE HELL YOU
TALKING ABOUT?'</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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..</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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'.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
'Virtue signalling'</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We are told we have to
listen to them and take them seriously.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But to the left we have
to treat them all the same...Muslim.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But to the left
there is just black.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Fucking bullshit.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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 ?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Please can we end this
victim mentality.
</div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There is undeniably a
lot of people here in the UK disbelieving the west's reason for
taking direct offensive action against Syria.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To be against it on
pacifist grounds or afraid of some third world war is not what I'm
interested in.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Paedophile gangs on the
loose for decades and attempts to cover it up. And they wonder why we
don't trust them.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The sad truth is. Blair
is pro-bombing Syria. That sets alarm bells of to so many people.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But its not just him.
Blair has been gone a long time why has our faith in our political
leaders not been restored ?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But other things have
happened as well.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We have also had years
of austerity and we get told even of our latest chancellor that 'it
was unnecessary' WHAT !</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Lets be honest we
haven't got bloody clue what is going on.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What about the media.
Surely we should know the truth by listening to our media.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Neither wonder so many
of us doubt so much.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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'.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Did Putin order the
novochuck attack in the UK; or was it an equally sinister personal
motive from unknown figures.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Is Assad even the bad
guy we are told. Is Putin?</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
[see a previous post on
why we need to open our reading matter up to encompass opposing
views]</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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].</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
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.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But I cant, I want to
see both sides. Read all the evidence. And make my own mind up.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Sadly those days are
over. Untrustworthy politicians, political parties and 24 hour
sensational media have put an end to that.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I don't have any of the
answers...but at least I'm humble and honest enough to admit it.</div>

Ffs they are getting worse ,more extreme, and let's be honest- full of ethno- nationalists,neo Nazis, anti Semites - in other words ... morons.<br />
<br />
However, I fully sympathise with many of the fears they hold regarding multiculturalism and Islam.<br />
The big problem I have, and have had for years now is....this flag waving, uber patriotic, ethno nationalistic bullshit.<br />
<br />
I don't give a damn about a piece of coloured material. I really don't put any emphasis on anything in history. Its history. Its full of good and bad- for and against most ethnicities.<br />
<br />
I really don't care if your black, white or brown or even a klingon.<br />
I don't care about where your from, where your ancestors are from.<br />
What I do care about is living in a modern Europe and a modern world that values equality...full stop.<br />
<br />
That means equality of colour, sex and sexuality.<br />
<br />
The fact that we are allowing belief systems to spread that does not hold these basic values worries me ; and the main problem is Islam.<br />
But unlike the far right I'm not saying everything in Islamic cultures is bad- just some of it.<br />
I'm not wanting to get bogged down with the finer detail.<br />
Is it the religion or the culture which is to blame?<br />
I really don't think its important.<br />
We get so immersed in which ones to blame we tie ourselves in knots.<br />
<br />
The far right want us to have nothing to do with any other ethnicity, culture or religion, except good old Anglo- Saxon white British.<br />
<br />
Bullshit!<br />
<br />
Give me a country and a world with no tribes, religions,sects ,even countries- eventually.<br />
But this capitulation to backwards ideas is ridiculous.<br />
Immigration is good. It encourages understanding and piece. Positive immigration that is.<br />
Negative immigration however ,fosters, distrust, dislike and disharmony.<br />
Why won't our stupid leaders see this very obvious fact ?<br />
<br />
I long for the day that people will start marching-solemnly and dignified- for a modern society.<br />
Free from inequality based on archaic superstitions and stories about sky fairies.. Not tattooed, semi literate, beer swilling foul mouthed cretins who bang on about patriotism and British culture of which most will have never read a book about it !<br />
<br />
And finally just because I despise the far right and nationalism I'm not one to jump on the - every member or sympathiser is guilty of been a racist or fascist.- that kind of mindset belongs to the fools at hope not hate and the so called anti fascists.<br />
<br />
So saying that, I've met Anne Marie waters once. I liked her . I don't buy into this 'ohhh she's a racist'.<br />
I honestly don't think she is . I think she's angry, and let's face it-aren't a lot of us<br />
<br />
And I hope that she isn't letting her anger allow her to become friends with people who also worry about Islam but also hold very unpalatable views about race and nationalism- such as Nazi boy collett and Britain First..After all I did. it. I got angry and joined the BNP.<br />
<br />
If she ever read this , or even Tommy Robinson I would plead with them... Lose the flags. Replace the marching with dignified protest. Get rid of the uneducated beer drinking arseholes who are just pissed of that they are doing nothing with their lives ...so blame someone else.<br />
<br />
I really do look forward to a future for mankind free from tribalism because of where your from or the colour of your skin. A future with progressive people lookin to the future and not lookin to the past. Or upwards to some bloody ridiculous superstitious bullshit about god, Allah, Mohammed, Vishnu, Buddha and the myriad of other stories we have wrapped ourselves in to make us less afraid of the dark.<br />
One day maybe, one day !<br />

PS. I know I said nearly a year ago that this blog was closed but things are worse now than ever so don't hold it against me.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-55948642220008132112016-11-11T07:36:00.002-08:002016-11-11T07:36:53.170-08:00Equality verse privilege There is a difference between fighting for equality and fighting for privilege.<br />
African Americans - I don't like that term ,there should just be Americans - have fought long and hard for equality. In many respects they still are.<br />
But as I don't live in America I'm not going to do the lefty thing and scream that American society is racist.Nor am I going to do the right wing thing and deny inequality exists<br />
<br />
American muslims -again a term I don't like,there's just Americans-pretend they are fighting for equality.<br />
But what they are actually wanting is privilege. The privilege to have their own law.<br />
Their livestock production and killing to be exempt from animal rights laws.<br />
Their 'book' to take precedence over the constitution.<br />
<br />
African Americans never wanted any of this rubbish. They just wanted to be treat exactly the same as whites.<br />
It's worth mentioning though that we have all heard of privilege, white privilege. A favourite term used by the looney left and regressive liberals .<br />
<br />
Skim over the pond to the UK and Europe and we have exactly the same situation. Only ours is a lot further along the process of 'privilege.<br />
We have bent over backwards for Muslim wishes. We haven't just allowed mosques. We are now considering some of them signalling a call to prayer, five times a day.<br />
If it isn't bad enough that we allow barbaric halal slaughter we are now having it thrust upon everyone ,so as not to offend muslims.<br />
In Germany all children must visit mosques, because -we need to adjust to the muslim mindset.<br />
We allow women to walk around incognito in sacking. Never mind the human rights abuses this throws up again women themselves, it's just another example of privilege.<br />
<br />
We have even allowed the mass rape of our kids because of fear of being called racist. That's about as big a privilege as there is .<br />
<br />
There is loads of hype and lies about attacks since Trump became president elect. How much is true,who knows. I would bet it Is the same as it was in the UK after brexit. Grossly exaggerated just to push the Muslim agenda.<br />
<br />
We do need equality laws. Christ we need equality for all. But when the majority feel like they are being lied to and what we are actually giving away is privilege that's how people like a Trump get elected. <br />
We need to wake up the difference between equality and privilege<br />

Or rather it was!<br />
As a continent we should be proud of this fact. We were moving away from archaic nonsense and dogma and turning more and more to science and reason.<br />
So for the life of me I can not understand why we allowing, no helping, to enforce islam into our main physce.<br />
<br />
I'm at a loss to figure this out. One of the reasons I voted to leave the EU was because of this ridiculous mindset of appeasement towards the moronic mindset that is Islam. <br />
Europe has its problems. Europeans have their faults. But, they are minor in comparison to the problems that muslim countries suffer from. Yet we wish to import this bs into our countries.<br />
<br />
The cretins who run things seem unable to grasp that most people don't want to embrace or even tolerate islam. That doesn't make us racist or xenophobic. Most of us would feel the same way if fundamental Christianity had a rebirth.<br />
<br />
What is wrong with saying 'look islam is bullshit'.<br />
We're not coming at it from a regressive view, but modern view.<br />
There should be no place in a civilised society for this nonsense.<br />
I genuinely don't understand this mindset of appeasement we have developed.<br />
<br />
I've sat in company and listened to people slag off and critisice of people from all sections of society.<br />
But mention islam and at the very least you will get a cold stare. What the hell is wrong with People. Why are you so defensive of this and so offended when someone calls it out for what it is-retarded.<br />
<br />
Is it because you are jealous that these people ,no matter how backward they may be actually have some order in their lives. Do many of us secretly desire to be conditioned and controlled.<br />
<br />
Do we secretly yearn order and control so as we don't have to think for ourselves. Is that it , are we just lazy.<br />
Do many of us feel that disconnected with modern life that we crave the order and security that Religion brings. Are we willing to re- chain ourselves to dogma again. Is this why so many people are converting to islam. <br />
I know I feel a certain disconnect with the modern world. I feel like we have tried to place ourselves above the natural world rather than in it.<br />
But you don't need religon to feel a deep connection to something. I'm not saying go out and hug a tree or become vegan. I'm saying that the answer lies in all of us and we don't need to submit to fantasy and myth and wrap it around ourselves like some kind of phycological comfort blanket.<br />
<br />
Since writing this blog I've spoken to many ex muslims. These are the lucky ones. They have seen 'the light' and left this religon. If I was them I would be nervous about what Europe and indeed the civilsed world is doing.<br />
When the demographics alter,and they will, these people will be amongst the first to feel the wrath of this so called Religon of peace. Apostasy is punishable by death.<br />
<br />
Okay raise your eyebrows, shake your head. Think 'what the hell is he talking about' as you look at the society you live in now and think 'bullshit,ain't going to happen' . Okay just cast your mind back . Was it ever like this. When you were a child did you even hear about islam?<br />
Did you know what barbaric halal meat was.?<br />
Was there a mosque near you. Ever see anyone walking a round in their jamas or a burqa?<br />
As the muslim population gets larger the more society will change.<br />
<br />
Need proof. Look at muslim countries. The more fundamentalist islam has taken root the more regressive that society has become.<br />
We can stop it. Stop pandering to nonsence and speak out and ridicule,before its to late.<br />
<br />

They care only about power. No exceptions. They are a driven by selfish ideology and vested interests.<br />
What if like me you can't throw your support for any party because they don't wholly speak for you .<br />
<br />
<br />
Labour are supposed to be for the working person yet agree with open borders and seem only concerned with employees of the state sector.<br />
People on minimum wage and zero hours can sod off.<br />
Their paymasters the unions are just as bad. They are there now just to fight for civil servants. Plus labour are more interested in global politics than domestic.<br />
<br />
The greens. Well they are supposed to be an environmental party but I fail to see how. They are to preoccupied with multiculturalism and diversity to actually achieve anything.<br />
<br />
The Tories. I actually agree that the welfare system is broken ; labour broke it. But I can't support them . There main concern is the rich and business; no matter how much damage it does.<br />
<br />
The liberals. I think I'm the only person who didn't fall out with them because of tuition fees. I actually think to many go to university and why should the taxpayer fund it.but that aside I can't vote for them.<br />
<br />
UKIP.what can I say. I voted to leave the EU but not because of ukip. I can't support them they believe climate change is a scam. Among other things.<br />
So what do you do.<br />
<br />
I've always believed that the ballot paper should have -none of the above.<br />
But we are never going to get that. No politcal parties care about real democracy. They only care about power. Therfore none will implement this.<br />
<br />
So, what if loads of us stood as independents. It's easy to do.<br />
In a local election you need ten signatures from people In the area<br />
No money is needed ,just some simple paperwork.<br />
Your name goes on the ballot paper ,simple.<br />
So what if you get one vote . It's a protest.<br />
<br />
What if enough of us did this? Could you imagine the chaos.?<br />
They may actually start to look at just how backward first past the post system is and give us the choice of none of the above.<br />
It's worth a thought. I don't care about your politics. I don't care if your left or right. Your not trying to get into power, just protesting.<br />
<br />
Next may I will stand as an independent, pure and simple as a protest vote. Why should I vote for one of the others grudgingly when I can give myself one vote.<br />
So if your fed up with not being represented then represent yourself.<br />
<br />
Even if you don't agree with me on anything. But if you think the system needs changed do something about it. More of the same will change nothingAlistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-13362483180299952802016-09-21T06:20:00.001-07:002016-09-21T06:20:24.519-07:00A sensible immigration policyThis may be the smallest post ever.<br />
If it was government paper it would be 100 chapters thick costing ten million quid.<br />
If it was leftist post I could baffle you with "only so many are terrorists "or don't give isis what they want" and the best one "Ahh but your using your western ideal of civilsed, but what does civilsed mean" .<br />
The first one is government bs wasting our money and keeping civil servants employed. <br />
The second one , well it's just bullshit.<br />
The simple answer is only let the civilsed in . There you can have that for free. No think tank needed or judges ruling whats okay or not .Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-36924263339371333662016-09-21T01:59:00.006-07:002017-02-03T23:13:32.000-08:00Merkels fall from grace and the rise of the right So Angela Merkel is loosing huge support in Germany. Good.<br /><div>Several years ago Tony Blair opened the doors to eastern Europeans. The result ,we were flooded with cheap labour from Poland. Since then we have been flooded with cheap labour from other eastern European countries. </div><div>He did this to bolster labours support. </div><div>It worked, for a while.</div><div><br /></div><div>But labours main support came from the block voting muslims in British society. The irrational appeasement of barbaric traditions and turning a blind eye to paedophiles and radicals really bolstered the huge input on their power form British muslims. </div><div><br /></div><div>Tony Blair then Gordon Brown,single handedly helped to build the bnp. It wasn't Nick Griffin that did this. </div><div>Them two fools disenfranchised so many British voters they felt they had no where else to go. </div><div>If nick Griffin hadn't been a backwards ethno nationalist perhaps they could have taken some real power. But most people are like myself. They don't care about the colour of someones skin or where they are from. They don't care about mixed race marriages and retarded bullshit about our ancestry and the 'white race'. Most people just want to live in a country that is familiar and safe.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, fast forward to now. If we had thrown open our doors like Merkel has done to a religion and culture that is vastly different to our modern civilised society. The bnp would have definitely taken some power.</div><div><br /></div><div>These people are supposed to be clever. We want to our leaders to be just that. But here's another instance of just how stupid they are. They have an arrogant belief in themselves and their judgement but that's it. Any person in any pub or Cafe can see what they are doing wrong. </div><div><br /></div><div>Tony Blair threw open our doors to Poland for votes and loads of cheap labour. He had brought in the minimum wage, for Brits so can you blame business people for looking at all the cheap labour now available to them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Germany has a falling population just like the rest of Europe. So Merkel thought 'hmm a perfect opportunity to get loads of immigrants'. Arrogantly or stupidly though she didn't realise who they were letting in.</div><div>Religion and culture is the most important thing to most of these incomers. If she wanted immigrants she should have made it attractive to other developed and civilised countries. Not thousands of misogynistic uber religious cavemen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes the right is on the rise across Europe but, Europeans are not becoming right wing nazis. Far from it.<br />I love Europe I've travelled much of it. I love the people. We may have our slight difference but basically were the same. Now we have the hordes of people with a completely differently moral guidance system and view of life invading us. Neither wonder Europeans -black ,white and brown-are worried. And neither wonder the right is rising. </div><div>Merkel and the rest of the elitist in Europe and further afield has caused this.</div><div><br /></div>Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-53619669267159289322016-09-19T23:21:00.001-07:002017-02-03T23:13:32.017-08:00isis is Islam. This blog is to confront racism and fascism. Religion is both. If your dumb enough to believe that isis does not represent islam you are wrong or stupid...or both.<br />The westbro baptist church represents Christianity perfectly as well. You can not avoid this.<br />Want proof, read their holy books.<br /><br />We have this mantra every time something is done in islams name- this does not represent islam.<br />Well hell yes it does.<br />Isis and the westbro baptist church and equally the anti gay brutality in Nigeria is everything to do with islam and Christianity.<br />Just because your gran goes to church every Sunday and is a pillar of the community does not excuse Christianity.<br />Your gran is a hypocrite. She is not following her own religion to the letter. Chances are she has never read the bible.<br /><br />Everything isis does is religious. They are allowed to be because of main stream islam. I'm not going to use the words moderate islam , there's no such thing. perhaps if there any moderates out there they just haven't read their book properly.<br /><br />The best thing we can do to combat religion violence is to stop making excuses for the religion itself.<br /><br />I mean come on any adult with 2 brain cells can see it's utter nonsense. It's a scary the way that our world leaders all pay lip service to the invisible man in the sky.<br />Islam is backwards. It's homophobic. It's racist. It's sexist.<br />IT'S ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS .<br />Isis and the westbro baptist church are truly believers. It's writing down in their mad books. Can we stop denying this.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-87882966669534566732016-09-19T22:36:00.000-07:002016-09-19T22:36:01.182-07:00We've got it all wrongWe have created ourselves a multicultural hell hole.<br />
In Europe ,Australia and America we should have ,from day one, had zero tolerance towards backwards religious and cultural practise's.<br />
We should have welcomed the people of the world to our shores ,but only if they wished to live in a modern secular society.<br />
Our uber liberal views that states all cultures are equally valid is going to end up destroying us.<br />
<br />
Idiots like the NF and the bnp want to preserve our culture and traditions. Why?<br />
It's not about preserving our culture and traditions it's about not tolerating regressive and backwards ones.<br />
<br />
I don't know how we can stop this. Our political leaders are so brainwashed with this bs it's hard to see a way out. Australia has just passed a blasphemy law.<br />
Who for you may ask.<br />
Isn't it obvious !<br />
<br />
I have been doing this blog for a few years now and I'm constantly thinking ,why ?<br />
Why have we allowed this.<br />
Fools like Nick Griffin say it's a Jewish conspiracy to enslave the world. Christ I'm not going to explain this,it's totally mad.<br />
Then there's the eurabia theory, again propagated by the right.<br />
What is to be achieved with a eurabia? . Again I'm not even going to explain it. It's crazy.<br />
<br />
Myself I go for the most obvious answer.<br />
Society is a living breathing organism. It's as if it has a mind of its own. The more members of that society think a certain way the more it spreads out and becomes the norm. This has so many good outcomes.<br />
Racism and homophobia are a lot less than they were when I was a kid -well in the non muslim population.<br />
<br />
So many good things come from this societal mindset. Sadly though we don't differentiate between the bad and good. Barbaric practices like halal and cosha are allowed.<br />
Idiots flaying themselves with knives in worship of some moon god . Young girls being mutilated because some Arab said so >1500 years ago.<br />
<br />
Our leaders past and present meed to hang their heads in shame for what they have done to Europe, America and Australia.<br />
The world is getting smaller. Climate change is making people move in masses.<br />
Unless we stop this madness and fiercely defend what our countries have become, they will cease to be. Generations will look back and think how did this happen. What were we thinking.<br />
<br />
It's not racist ,xenophobic or bigoted to say leave your culture, traditions and religion in your country of origin. Your welcome here but you have to modernise and live like a human being in the 21 St century.<br />
If we don't we are finished<br />
<br />

They were protesting against mixed marriages.<br />
These cretins are absolutely no different to white supremacists like the kkk or the national front.<br />
The fact that this is going on in Britain is shocking. This kind of archaic bullshit should be kept in some third world country shithole where it belongs.<br />
<br />
I will bet that the police treat them with kid gloves because it's a- cultural thing.<br />
If it was 55 tattooed idiots from the national front I bet the police wouldn't have been so tactful and understanding.<br />
<br />
I will also put money on it that we hear not one word of condemnation from them multiculturalist fanatics at hope not hate, searchlight or the UAF.<br />
Likewise not a word will be uttered from labour the liberals or the greens.<br />
<br />
There's a new report due out that says we have to stand up for British values. I'm not even sure what this means. Surely we should just stand up for modernism and progress. No matter who you are white, Sikh or Muslim supremacist. You should be treat the same- like a pariah on civilisation.<br />

But there are other pernicious and vile ideologies out there.<br />
Religion, culture and tradition are some of the biggest reasons for suffering and backwardness on this planet. Religion itself is evil at its very core. It sets people against each other and festers a mindset of them and us.<br />
I think it's disgusting that it's only ever nationalism and patriotism that is targeted. <br />
So here's my attempt at targeting the moronic mindset that is religion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Christians ...you believe that a virgin ( yeah right, I've met girls who do something they regret on alcohol as well) gave birth to the son of god . Who then on his father's knowledge got nailed to a piece of wood to forgive man for his sins ( the same guy who created the world yet couldn't just go shazam ..forgiven) the son of god then climbed down of said piece of wood , bumped into an old mate and wasn't recognised ....cos cos he looked different. He then bugered of to live with his dad . The same arsehole who allowed him to be sacrificed and it turns out they were the same person all along......that's some weird Stephen King shite right there .<br />
<br />
Muslims. ..you believe that some pervy paedophile schizophrenic thought he spoke to a god. Then told all the Arabs about it. They went" duh okay,sounds reasonable we will follow you"<br />
He then got loads of slaves and a child bride ( but he was so honourable he didn't molest her till she was nine) . He then convinced loads of other muppetts to kill anyone who thought 'hold on this f****** has gone a bit tonto ' he then flew up to the moon and hit it and cracked it in half . And he was so clever about it no on else on the planet saw the moon with a big fecking crack in it. Even Thor thought f*** that was bit much ,<br />
<br />
Jews. You really think your the chosen people and some guy in the sky thought that much of you he said here have the best land. The best land in a fecking desert. Why not a Caribbean paradise ?<br />
You believe the bs that much that you chop the end of your sons dicks off. Wtf.<br />
And what about the idiots who wear black hats and ringlets. You look like the cast of fiddler on the roof ffs. And what's with the square cube you tie round your head then Bob against a two thousand year old wall to talk to your invisible friend..<br />
<br />
To all three of you .you without a doubt the biggest bunch of arseholes to walk this earth.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122525250486096027.post-74533081521922076192016-09-01T10:09:00.003-07:002016-09-01T10:09:49.969-07:00Support ex muslimsAfter my last post I received an email accusing me of being against muslims. I knew I would , I expected it.<br />
A Muslim is not a race or an ethnicity. It's a choice. A choice that is thrust on you by your parents or where you happen to be born.<br />
Okay there are converts, but these tend to be people desperately seeking something in their lives. We used to have annoying born again Christians. Now we have born again muslims. Usually middle class white people with a history of partying.<br />
<br />
I am not slagging people of for being muslim. I'm slagging people of for choosing to be muslim. I slag people of for choosing to be Christians or jews as well.<br />
Since doing this blog I have met and spoke to many brave men and women who have used their intelligence to see that islam is a scam, just like the others.<br />
<br />
They have bravely turned their backs on this ridiculous belief system. They made a conscious choice to join the modern human race . These are genuine heroes. It's a shame that they get no backing from anyone in the political arena. These are the ex muslims.<br />
<br />
So if you want to believe I'm being racist-tough. I can't be responsible for your ignorance.<br />
This blog is not against race, colour or ethnicity.<br />
It's against moronic and prejudiced belief systems of the far right ,far left, Religion ,culture and traditions.<br />
All of these are free will. You have the choice to chain yourself to them or you have the choice to be free.<br />

<br />
I got involved in nationalism out of anger. I learnt how stupid that mindset is and walked away.<br />
<br />
I hate religion. No surprise there. This blog is full of my views on religion.<br />
Unfortunately though some people email me and even some friends think I'm sinking back into the far right mentality; just because I have a go at Islam.<br />
<br />
Religion is like nationalism. It's backwards divisive and regressive.<br />
<br />
To slag of Islam is no different to slagging of a mindset that proclaims one nation, colour or ethnicity is more superior to another.<br />
It never ceases to amaze me that in the world of social media I have far more positive feedback from Asian, African, Muslim (progressive) etc than I do from white people. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is a taboo that has permeated through the physce of so many white people that to criticise someone of different ethnicity or religon is tantamount to racism or bigotry. Absolute bullshit.<br />
<br />
So again,... to clarify.<br />
I'm a liberal. A staunch liberal. I believe in equality; no exceptions on religious grounds.<br />
I'm an atheist and I want religion completely cleansed from the political arena. I make no apologies for thinking it's the most regressive and retarded mindset that we as a species have .<br />
<br />
Any -and I mean any- laws or practises that have grounding in religon need abolished.<br />
<br />
We need to promote progress based on science and reason and ignore completely the childish wailing coming from the religious.<br />
The planet and therfore us are in real trouble. Religon is making us look away from the real problems that we are facing.<br />
<br />
So please look past your white guilt and naval gazing.<br />
This blog amongst other things is about equality.<br />
It's against racism. <br />
A belief system or idea propagated by a white ,black or brown person that is backward or divisive is an open target. To me that's real equality.<br />

Why do we have to respect peoples feelings when they choose to believe in the most ludicrous nonsense.<br />
<br />
Christianity was brought into mainstream existence by emperor Constantine in the 4th century. The roman empire was falling apart. He needed something to unite all the different clans, tribes and countries under his control. He got the biggest story tellers together and they put many of the best tales together in one book-The bible.<br />
<br />
Skip forward to the 7th century and the same scenario happened again. Only this time with the Arab countries.<br />
If Mohamed did exist he must have thought-hmm them Christians have sorted out their differences, I wonder if I can do the same with the Arab tribes.<br />
And if Mohamed didn't exist someone basically had the same idea and invented a figurehead. <br />
After all this had already been done with Jesus. No one can be sure if he existed, or was just conjured up as a figure head.<br />
If either Mohamed or Jesus did exist though they must have been phsycotic to think they were the son of god-as Jesus did- or had spoken to god -as Mohamed did.<br />
<br />
At the time humanity knew nothing about life, death or the universe. We worshipped hundreds of different gods. The Christian god just rose to the top of the popular belief system.<br />
Before he was elevated up to an all powerful god he was just a genie who lived on top of mountain; his name was Yahweh. <br />
Likewise until Mohamed-or his creators- elevated Allah to the exalted position he was just a moon god.<br />
<br />
So here we are a one and a half millennia later and these fables are still dragging the Human race down.<br />
<br />
People like me get called islamophobic for laughing at the ridiculous belief system that is Islam.<br />
Christianity can on the whole take this criticism.We broke the taboo years ago. We had the likes of Dave Allen, Father Ted, Monty Python etc who went out of their way to poke fun at god and Jesus. <br />
<br />
We need someone to do the same with Islam. We need a 'life of Muhamed' movie. A parody of the absurd<span style="background-color: yellow;">ness </span> of Islam and how ridiculous it is. Christ if I had the money I would fund it myself.<br />
But there's one thing we can all do now. We can all take the piss and we can criticise We can all refuse to be labelled as racist or islamophobic.<br />
<br />
Our leaders are spineless and bow before this ridiculous ideology but we don't have to. We can fight back at least with satire and jokes. Islam doesn't deserve respect, and it shouldn't get any.Alistair Barbourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849135059246227165noreply@blogger.com0
