So we are nearly at the vote for a brexit from the EU.
I hope we leave, in fact all the signs point to it that we will indeed leave.
But sadly, not to go down the conspiracy theory route, even if it is a leave vote I can't see it happening.
The powers that be have to much to loose and as much I applaud democracy we sadly do not live in a very democratic society.
We saw that again at the last election when UKIP -whom I have little time-and the greens- for whom I have loads of time, but sadly am a realist and realise that they will never obtain any real power as long as they are seen as a party of social workers-would have had dozens of MPS between them, if we had proportional representation.
Yes, yes I know that the vote in the last election was a totally different thing but the system does not want us plebs to have real democracy. In fact it terrifies them that if we all actually woke up and put as much time into fighting for our rights or futures instead of millions watching pointless crap like football , xfactor,celebrity dancing on ice or the mother of all hells-the great British bake off- we might actually organise some change.
I think we have lost a golden opportunity for a what could have been a great political way forward. The EU should have been integrated fully from the start.
Full integration with everything. Wages, health care and education being uniform right throughout the EU.
If a plumber -for instance- got paid the same in Poland or Britain they would have no reason to come here. If there had been a European health service there would be no health tourism from within the EU.
In short if living standards etc had been made uniform thought out the continent why would the masses up sticks and move to another country. We could have actually had the free movement of people that would not empty one place and put huge pressure on another. Come on let's be honest what is so great about Britain that attracts all these people? I think we are fast becoming one of the greediest uncaring countries in the world, why the hell do so many want to come here?
But we didn't integrate from the start. They lied to us and tried to pretend that this wasn't the aim. So they screwed it up . They tinkered around the edges and made a complete balls up. How the hell can you have so many countries with differing standards of living, economies, workers rights, housing prices and Christ the list is endless-how can you have a union with so many variables and not expect it break down and fall apart.
This is why I'm voting to leave. These fools have proven that they can not run a party in a brewery or an orgy in a brothel, so why vote to stay ?
I do think a European union and in fact a world union is one day inevitable but I hope we get intelligent leaders putting these political systems together and not the likes of the imbeciles that get into politics now.
Nationalist party's do not hold any of the answers that modern day Britain,Europe or the world is facing. Nationalism, religion, tribal politics and Right/Left wing ideologies are tearing this country apart. alistairbarbour@live.co.uk

change your mind !
I recently got condemned for changing my mind on the EU.
Why?
A few months ago I wrote a post saying we should assimilate more into the EU and how that it was the natural evolvement of our society.
Now' I say we should leave!
It never ceases to amaze me how if you change your mind on a subject you are criticised.
Some people attack you for in their view -being easily lead or of no strong opinion.
Well the first accusation is BS. But the second is actually quite true.
My opinion does change. I'm a different person than I was when I was 18 I will be different in ten years time.
What is wrong with that. I'm not arrogant enough to think I have the answers, but I do know what the problems are. Christ any rational thinking person knows what the problems are.
It's when people especially politicians whether they are left or right are so utterly convinced that they have the answers that the warning bells should sound.
Even more so when far left or far right politicians 'know' what the answers are. The trouble is that these people are so full of self belief that they think they are right about everything. This results in a lack of humility and openness. In extreme cases this is how radicals or even dictators are born.
So yes I change my mind. I have changed my mind loads of times in my life as I learn new information or data on the most mundane personal subject or the most far reaching and profound one., and I will continue to do so. For people to stop doing so is how religion continues to exist or why inequality remains.
Guess what if the EU did something drastic before June like become...... more democratic I may change my mind again in favour.
Wooly minded liberal eh ????

St Georges day
So, it's St Georges Day, , woo bloody hoo.
No doubt the nationalist morons will be banging on about how important it is that we celebrate this day.
'We need to preserve our heritage'
'We need to remember who we are as a country,,,blah blah blah'
And no doubt the left will be banging on about how moronic the nationalists are for celebrating such an antiquated figure and how he isn't even English.
For me it's simple. St George is as relevant as that old lady who celebrated her 90th yesterday. ....not at all.
They are both examples of a backward looking country that need resigned to history.
It doesn't matter who or what St George is or represents. He's in the past and we as a country need to stop living in the past.
Christ I wish people would spend more time looking to the future and how we can improve it.

I want a green country.
For what its worth just a few musings on UK political parties.
BNP ....Okay that's covered . No more to be said. Racist arseholes.
UKIP. A bit like Donald Trump . They appear to be tapped into what Joe average worries about but just like Trump who is running to protect the rich, UKIP are basically there to protect the rich bankers and the city of London.
After all one thing Europe has tried to do is reign in the city but labour and the tories have fought them for years.
The city of London does need reigned in. The untold damage it does to this country and around the world is phenomenal. Plus the major problem I have with ukip is they deny climate change. They think it's a scam. They are not bloody racist as the like of the fools at hope not hate would have you believe, but they would be terrible for this country and indeed the planet.
Conservative. I actually had a meeting with my local tory group. It was partly to clear my name and partly to write about them at a later date !
So what impression did I get.
Genuinely nice people -Just old fashioned in their views and afraid of change. Thats the grass roots ones mind, I'm not saying the tory hierarchy is like that all. They are ruled by greed).
I doubt very much that the local ones I met really cared about climate change but I bet they would all be on the streets to protect a thousand year old yew tree growing in their local church , which is great ( the yew tree bit)
They are just afraid of change and want to keep the status quo.
Yeah okay we all know that.
The point is though when you see the new left spitting at nice old people going to a tory or UKIP conference we should all be disgusted.
Again its just the left making themselves feel morally superior.
Labour. I've covered Blairs labour and good riddance to that shower of lieing scumbags . So we now have a more left wing labour party. Great, or it should be. If they weren't so engrossed in this left wing mentality of multiculturalism. Also they are bloody hypocrites. They won't get rid of trident because it will cost jobs. You two faced sods.
So its okay to have weapons of mass destruction that could kill millions rather than putting a few thousand people on the dole. That's some fxxxxd up moral compass there.
The same goes for the arms trade. We need to get out of it. Yet one of the biggest antagonists for us staying in it are the unions because ...it will cost jobs. Hypocrites. Yet they don't mind Britain being flooded with cheap labour and undercutting wages and conditions.
The greens. Sadly a disappointment.
I have covered why I went to my first BNP meeting. I have always been an environmentalist and one of the reasons I even listened to the BNP was because they actually have some very good environmental policies. Okay I found out that this is just the good stuff to hook you in. I have mentioned that a long term green activist also joined the party. She left as quickly as I did though when she got to know them. As I've stated so many times there is a very inconvenient truth about the BNP. Aside from the racism, homophobia,xenophobia and several other isms and phobias they are very left wing .
I'm not writing this to slag of the greens. They too are genuinely nice people. I want a green government....christ I want a green country !.
But not a government of just social workers teachers and therapists ( and thats not me slagging of these 3 professions) I want a green government that attracts the working class as well as the intellectual middle classes.
Sometimes mind this aloof intellectualism has just one result.... alienating the masses!
The greens policies are great and very few exceptions, except of course ...the blind compliance with open borders and multiculturalism.
I honestly don't get the mindset. I think the best way to describe them is like an adult with a child. They know whats best for the child and are very confident that their actions are the right thing for that child. Again, this is just a criticism and not a hate filled attack.
But sadly the British voting population comprises of adults and this overbearing -I know best mentality-just alienates people to the real message. They don't appear to realise that just because they know what they are saying is right - and it usually is - that people should just flock to their message.
Sadly though they - like most on the left - forget something very important. They fail to take in human nature and how varied and complex we all are. Every sane rational person when shown the truth of say , climate change would be concerned.
You show any rational person the profound benefits of going vegan and eating a whole food diet for yourself and the planet, they would never eat meat again.
Or by showing the huge disparities between the elite and the rest of us and everyone would wake up.
Sadly though we are humans. We're fallible and lazy. Some people want to put their head in the sand, it's more comforting. Some people will fight you when you try to show them, because they are afraid to face the truth.
So find a better way to show them.
This is where the environmental movement has been failing for years. They don't appeal to the masses. They don't speak their language. It's no good having a few thousand people being concerned with the environment....We need millions....billions!
Its as if they know they are getting nowhere yet they are so detached, they actually can not see what real people are concerned with. And if they could only grasp that normal people are preoccupied with scraping by and could acknowledge this, and connect with them then just maybe these very same people will hear the other messages and start to see what's wrong with the county and the world.
Several months ago I did email the greens and said that they need to get involved in the immigration debate. I stated that it concerns millions of people and they should not ignore it. ....they never replied.
As I say -I'm not slagging of the greens- it's just critisicim. To me the fight is far more important than any party loyalty. This is one of the reasons the world is in such a state. Why does one have to be left or right ?
We need to make the global fight non political. Left, right liberal, Conservative etc.
As long as we are all so,preoccupied with tribal politics and getting no where the planet is doomed.
So in short if left Wing parties don't actually wake up and start remembering that they are supposed to represent everyone we are doomed to Cameron and his school chums for years. It's ironic isn't it that the left are biggest champions of democracy yet they tend to dismiss that it's the people who vote them in democratically. That means their voices should be listened to and not just dismissed.
Please left wing parties loose the left wing arrogant mentality before its to late.
Just one more thing I watched a really interesting programme . George Galloway interviewing Nigel Farage with regards to leaving the EU. They both want out and they are working together for that aim. Christ's sake two men I have no time for as a rule but they are working together because they both get it.
We live in a democracy.
BNP ....Okay that's covered . No more to be said. Racist arseholes.

We need liberalism but without the far left mentality.
Europe is in the throws of anarchy. This twisted form of liberalism that has invaded our very physce is going to end up destroying us.
For years this idiocy has ruled, it has become the mantra for our authorities and government.
"Multiculturalism is good". Speaking out against it is bad.
The sad thing is people don't appear to be bothered any more. People have always closed their eyes to inconvenient truths.
It's too scary to to many people to actually look around at what is happening.
But now its as if it's gone viral. The vast amount of people are so preoccupied with their status or what BS is on the TV they are actually closing their eyes to what is going on.
Sadly the only people who are getting angry are the tattooed fxxx nuts who march for idiotic orgs like the EDL or the BNP.
There's nothing wrong with speaking out against multiculturalism or immigration,especially the wrong kind of immigrant. But sadly to voice an opinion against allowing all the refugees into Europe is met with derision and contempt.
All together now -racist.
It's got nothing to do with race. As I've mentioned so many times in this blog I can't wait until there are no countries, no borders, global equality etc BUT, it has to be done correctly.
We can't just open the borders and let anyone in.
One day when the world is more uniform and all countries have the same standard of living etc then yes, open borders. But sadly to do so now is suicide.
After all there's not many people wanting to move to sub Saharan Africa or the middle east is there.
As far as I'm concerned when it comes to the refugees we need to help the children first. They had no hand in this catastrophe.
Then the women because they tend to get a rough deal in these backward countries.
The men. Well the men, who tend to make up the vast amount of refugees should be dealt with in refugee camps.
While I'm on about the men, why don't we mention an inconvenient truth. Why are they all fleeing rather than fight for a better country.
It's a good job that this mentality didn't prevail in the UK when the nazis where on the march isn't it.
It's a good job that the young men at the time stood there ground and fought rather than run away.
I fail to see how these so called liberals can shut their eyes to what is happening.
Women get raped and assaulted in Norway, Sweden,Germany etc.
Grooming gangs in the UK.
Terrorist sympathisers and religious zealots. Homo phobics, bigots and racists.
and we all know the inconvenient truth don't we. They all have one thing in common! !!
Most are from one religion!
Of course there are nutters in all religion's but only these fake liberals which run our establishment will keep denying this very real truth. There is a problem with Islam.
I'm a real liberal. I believe strongly in race equality, gender equality, sexual orientation equality, employment equality. Christ to make it short I believe in equality, full stop.
These fake liberals believe in equality for white people. And they believe that all races should be equal. But that's where their liberalism ends and their hypocrisy takes over. They have no desire to push real equality on others. They have no desire to enforce women's rights etc they are to busy bending over backwards because they have to -appreciate their culture.
How dare these left wing fools call themselves liberals.
The only way to save this country is not nationalism or patriotism, it's liberalism. But the real thing.

Defend liberalism not nationalism
Things appear to be changing, albeit slowly.
The mainstream media are at last covering the sex attacks that are going on across Europe. The catalyst for this has been Cologne.
For years they have tried to hush these attacks up for fear of driving support towards the anti immigration parties. Cologne is not a one of, just about all sex crimes in Northern Europe are committed by immigrants, usually Muslim. But as usual if you said anything like this you were obviously a racist or isamlophobic.
This is why the media has been very slow in addressing this problem. It happend in the UK with the disgusting grooming gangs comprised of mostly Muslim men.
The local authorities and police also aided in hushing this problem up. Disgusting behaviour from people who are supposed to serve the people.
So now it has actually ben acknowledged that we have a Europe wide problem with islam....again.
Better informed people like me can say whether it’s islam or the culture of these perverts that causes them to commit so so many atrocities. But that doesn’t take away the question ,why are we allowing these people to live in our civilised countries?
Most people have no problem with immigration. It’s uncontrolled immigration and the wrong kind of immigration that people are against.
In Norway a country that I've visited many times they are even asking refugees and new arrivals to attend courses showing them how to treat women. I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. If you don’t have that inbuilt moral compass that you should have as a human being you should not be allowed into a civilised country like Norway.
People like me gravitated to the BNP because of questions like this. I’ve coverd in length why I joined and why I left.
But the establishment and media still cry racist or islamophobe if anyone dare speak out and ask these questions.
The BNP is all but finished. Drug dealing imbecile Clive Jefferson and equally moronic Adam Walker have seen to that, and good riddance.
But now we have a vacuum . We had a vacuum that allowed the edl to form and grow. A few years ago the bnp was starting to fall part. People saw this and left a gap for people’s anger. This resulted in the EDL.
The EDL blow itself out by attracting to many hooligans and drunks. It could have been a huge demonstration of people’s anger at the government but instead it just turned into a racist mob. Good riddance to them as well. Tommy Robinson even turned his back on the organisation and was helped by the quilliam foundation.
Why do we allow religious bs into our country.
We laugh at Christianity but treat islam with kid gloves. We don’t lampoon people who live in our own society for believing in the most ludicrous BS.
They believe a man spoke to god and the quran is the word of God. Why are we not laughing at this. We laugh at the thought of god coming down to earth as his own son then being nailed to a cross for our sins. Why does this bullshit get laughed at but Islam's doesn’t.
I believe it’s because of racism.
Not the racism that the likes of Nick Griffin espouse. The ‘whites are superior’ type.
This kind of racism looks at people of colour and their religion as not as developed and civilised as ours. It’s like an adult with a child. The adult allows the child to get away with so much more because they don’t know any better.
This is what’s wrong with the regressive left leaning thought processes that have taken over our society. It’s a knee jerk reaction to the old Britain.
The Britain of empire and looking down our noses at the rest of the world. So we attempted to make everyone and all cultures as valid and reasonable as our own. This has stopped us criticising backwards and regressive cultures.
So because of this moronic thinking right across Europe we are seeing a rebirth of nationalism.
Dangerous times indeed. How do we stop it and what should anyone reading this blog considering do.
For me it’s a no brainer. We need to defend liberalism.
Real liberalism. Religion needs kicked out of the public sphere, Christianity included. Put minority groups under the microscope, we have seen time and time again how they can end up working against there host country.
Ban religious practise's in everyday life. If you want to pray five times a day or say prayers do it on your own time in your own space.
Go 100 percent secular and stop pandering to religious fantasies and fascism. Ban halal and cosha meat. We can’t have animal welfare laws for one and not for another.
In short stop this racist discrimination. If your black , brown or white. Christian , muslim or jew...and your an arsehole. Then call them out for it.
So don’t go down the nationalist way. There are many groups and orgs you can support that have far more impact.
Maryam Namazie and the council for ex Muslims of Britian
Maajid Nawaz and the quilliam foundation
Muslims for progressive values
The British Humanist Association
British muslims for secular democracy
One Law For All
If you want to get political don’t give your time to the likes of the BNP.
I would like to encourage the reader to join a political party,,except the BNP but I'm afraid they a are all so ingrained with this regressive left wing thinking –even the tories- that I’m afraid you would be wasting your time. The tories may be to the right of politics but they have this regressive left wing mindset also, .
The greens have great policies in fact they have some of the best. Sadly though they suffer from the left wing whiteguilt. I really dont like saying this especially since im an environmentalist and I really want a green government but if they ever gained power in their current guise society would fragment under the wave of multiculturalism and open borders. It's such a shame the greens have so much to offer if they would just give up this far left wooly thinking that a multiculturalism is great. The same can be said aboutCorbyns labour.
The liberals, well who knows what they stand for anymore.
So yes angry and yes fight back but join an org that has some effect and put pressure on our idiots politicans to listen.

Devils advocate- in defence of Tommy Robinson
I've just been reading an article on the hope not hate site. Readers of this blog will know that I have very little time for HnH. They are opportunists who shout racism at anybody who doesn't agree with their left wing pro mass immigration and multicultural view of the world.
They say that Tommy Robinson is making a comeback to street activism. This time in the guise of pegida.
For anyone who isn't familiar with pegida. This organisation is not to disimlar to the EDL, except they are European wide.
They believe that Europe is in danger of been islamified.
Are they wrong. Is this all just racist hype. Is he swivel eyed loon and a bigot?
The title of this post is perhaps misleading I'm not really here to defend him. What I'm trying to convey is that is he right to be concerned ?
Let's look at the evidence.
The terrorism, well that needs no explanation. We're all familiar with that.
No one can have escaped all the press coverage of grooming gangs -predominantly Muslim. To be very accurate most were of Pakistan origin. No rational person can not be concerned how this was allowed to happen.
Then there's the hundreds perhaps thousands of young British girls been sent abroad to suffer the most barbaric cruelty of female genital mutilation.
Mosques. Many people believe that many of the radicals are nurtured in British mosques. How much truth is in this is very hard to uncover.
One article will tell us this. Another will tell us its happening in British universities. Again how is the average Brit supposed to know the truth.
Britain should be secular. Any civilsed country should be secular. Christianity has been dissapearing for years and good riddance to it. But now we have other religous buildings popping up all over the place. Despite what many on the left say ,religion causes division. It forms barriers between neighbours and prevents integration. Anyone who flatly denies this is bascially seeing the world through rose coloured glasses.
Face veils in the name of religion. Yes they cause division-the them and us mentality. How the hell can a person integrate if you can't see their face. Many muslim women have no choice but to wear the face coverings. Not all but many. How the hell is a person supposed to know which is which.
It's shame full the amount of attacks that are now happening to Muslim women because of this distrust that has built up between communities. How the hell does attacking a defenceless woman in a face veil stop islamifiaction. These attacks need to stop and the offenders prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Halal Meat. There's not a single piece of evidence to suggest that halal is more humane than stunning.
In fact it's the very opposite. There has been many papers written on how stunning is less cruel.
Personally, I'm a vegan, so I'd like to see stunning gone as well. I would like to see a meat free world, but that's a totally different argument.
Suffice to say if we are going to eat animals (for now) they should be raised and killed as humanely as possible.
So why is TR not allowed to voice these concerns ?
Well it depends on his motives.
The BNP use exactly the same reasons to protest at muslims in the UK. Do they care about animals or young girls suffering fgm or honour killings.
No they dont.
If they cared about animals they wouldn't have openly supported fox hunting at many countryside meetings.
Fgm and honour killings. Again they don't care because it happens to non white girls. Girls that they dont class as British.
So' I don't know tommy Robinson, never met him, never shared a communication with him so I can't defend his reasons for protesting.
If he is protesting because he does not want to see his country and ANY of its citizens suffering the indignity otf religously motivated barbarity or cruelty to both animals and humans I salute him.
If however his motivation is from a bigotted xenophobic and racist position ( which I admit I don't think is the case) he should not be listened to.
But as usual the first thing to frame any protest or debate on islam is-oh they must be racist to speak out.
The country and indeed the world needs to admit there is a problem with islam. Muslims need to admit there is a problem with islam.
We need to stop this catch all accusation of racist or isamlophobic.
When you stop people questioning or criticising islam they will drift to the fringes where they feel that they can be heard.
Please stop this blanket defence of islam and perhaps the likes of pegida would never get a foothold on European streets.
Myself, I don't care where people are from or the colour of their skin. But I do care if they believe in a backwards ideology that sets them apart from the modern civilsed world, and we need to admit that many Muslims do. That's not racist to say that.
Finally- as always-what drives people to supprt the likes of the BNP, EDL or Pegida is perceptions. The media and our politicians have to take some of the blame for this.
How the hell is a person to know what is the truth!.
All we hear is about islamic practices and barbarity. Then we see our so called leaders lining up to praise islam as a peaceful religion. Its not hard to see why people have no idea what the hell is going on.
Perceptions helped the BNP grow. They could also help Pegida take route in Britian
They say that Tommy Robinson is making a comeback to street activism. This time in the guise of pegida.
For anyone who isn't familiar with pegida. This organisation is not to disimlar to the EDL, except they are European wide.
They believe that Europe is in danger of been islamified.
Are they wrong. Is this all just racist hype. Is he swivel eyed loon and a bigot?
The title of this post is perhaps misleading I'm not really here to defend him. What I'm trying to convey is that is he right to be concerned ?
Let's look at the evidence.
The terrorism, well that needs no explanation. We're all familiar with that.
No one can have escaped all the press coverage of grooming gangs -predominantly Muslim. To be very accurate most were of Pakistan origin. No rational person can not be concerned how this was allowed to happen.
Then there's the hundreds perhaps thousands of young British girls been sent abroad to suffer the most barbaric cruelty of female genital mutilation.
Mosques. Many people believe that many of the radicals are nurtured in British mosques. How much truth is in this is very hard to uncover.
One article will tell us this. Another will tell us its happening in British universities. Again how is the average Brit supposed to know the truth.
Britain should be secular. Any civilsed country should be secular. Christianity has been dissapearing for years and good riddance to it. But now we have other religous buildings popping up all over the place. Despite what many on the left say ,religion causes division. It forms barriers between neighbours and prevents integration. Anyone who flatly denies this is bascially seeing the world through rose coloured glasses.
Face veils in the name of religion. Yes they cause division-the them and us mentality. How the hell can a person integrate if you can't see their face. Many muslim women have no choice but to wear the face coverings. Not all but many. How the hell is a person supposed to know which is which.
It's shame full the amount of attacks that are now happening to Muslim women because of this distrust that has built up between communities. How the hell does attacking a defenceless woman in a face veil stop islamifiaction. These attacks need to stop and the offenders prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Halal Meat. There's not a single piece of evidence to suggest that halal is more humane than stunning.
In fact it's the very opposite. There has been many papers written on how stunning is less cruel.
Personally, I'm a vegan, so I'd like to see stunning gone as well. I would like to see a meat free world, but that's a totally different argument.
Suffice to say if we are going to eat animals (for now) they should be raised and killed as humanely as possible.
So why is TR not allowed to voice these concerns ?
