History

I have just been reading one of C. J. Sansom's 'Shardlake' books, an excellent read. It set me thinking about British history.

Possibly the two most important events in our post-Roman history were the Norman Conquest and the Reformation. These two events made this country what it is today: a Godless, money obsessed, inequitable society where drunkenness and violence are ubiquitous.

Thank you to William the Bastard & fat syphilitic Henry, two of the most nasty gits in a long succession of evil English Kings. Great adverts for republicanism both.

Moron Alert

I just had a flyer through the door from the BNP (Brainless Nazi Party?)

In addition to the usual Union Flags and pictures of nice WASPs (that's the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants not the insects) I noticed a picture of a Spitfire.

Imagine my surprise when I looked more closely and noticed the red & white chequered emblem of one of the Polish Squadrons serving with the RAF during WWII (In fact this appears to be a Spitfire Vb of 303 Polish Squadron, which is credited with the highest number of enemy kills during the Battle of Britain)

Given all their complaints about immigrant Polish workers I was highly amused to see this and leaves me asking just one question:

JUST HOW STUPID ARE THESE IDIOTS???

If you do intend to vote during the European elections all I can say is please, please, please ignore the poisonous propaganda of these dangerous fools!

No european elections for me

As a codicil to my previous post, I notice that the European elections are going to be run on the basis of Party lists - so you don't get any choice as to which individual represents you it is all down to the Party.

As this is the case I won't be voting on June 4th as I would only be able to support a party.

As an aside; this system is a good way of allowing extremist political parties to gain power. The geographically based vote for an individual candidate mitigates against this.

Don't assent to this flawed system by voting next month, if we don't play along with the party system it will have to change.

Pigs at the trough

It's nice to see that people are finally waking up to the fact that our politician's are all corrupt. Why has this happened. Very simple: the party political oligarchy which runs this country. M.P.s are not answerable to their constituents they are answerable to the party to which they belong, their allegiance is not to the people and the area they claim to represent it is to the party hierarchy.

How can this be solved, how can we have a system of government where those who make our laws and run our country are truly our servants. Simple BAN ALL POLITICAL PARTIES.

M.P.s should all be independent with no ties to a larger organisation. If this happened candidates would have to persuade the electorate that they personally were worthy of our votes; they would have to prove that they would represent their constituency at all times and not follow any party line.

It would also force the electorate to engage with the process more, no longer would people say "I'll vote labour" or "I'll vote conservative" through some sort of tribal loyalty, they would actually have to listen to the candidates and decide which person was the one they liked best. It would create a much more democratic system, based on individual merit not a faceless party machine.

If one lesson should have been learned from Communism and Nazism it is that "the party" is the antithesis of democracy. It acts against the individual will and freedom of conscience.

Without political parties a new form of consensus politics would have to emerge, the Prime Minister would have to represent all of Parliament not a single grouping. Every issue & every law would have to be argued on its merits to the country as a whole; there would be no whips to ensure that M.P.s toed the line.

I have decided that I will never again support a political party of any hue, nor will I vote for any candidate who belongs to one. If I vote for anyone it will be for someone who has proven to me that he or she is honest, moral and fearless in standing up for what is right - I simply don't believe any party hack can meet these criteria.

Interesting article

Religion of hatred: Why we should no longer be cowed by the chattering classes ruling Britain who sneer at Christianity.

A friend passed this link on to me, it is an article by A.N. Wilson, about his return to faith and lambasting the godless elite destroying this country. It is well worth a read and very refreshing to see someone standing up to the anti-Christian mafia.
