Crass 868


In the week they took hundreds of pounds from people in severe poverty, MPs and Lords claim up to £3,750 each to return from their luxury holidays to spout off in honour of Margaret Thatcher. Meantime the media are busy classifying any potential protest or expression of opinion at the taxpayer funded funeral jamboree as “potential terrorism”.

Whether protest at the funeral is tasteful or not is a fair question. But there is no question it is perfectly lawful. There is virtually no understanding of the very notion of civil liberty in the mainstream media.

    Mary bleats with false innocence :

    “I repeat I said nothing about the ancestry of Capriles or the holocaust.”

    ********

    You didn’t and I admit that you are always careful never to express your hatred of Jews directly. You just posted a link in which one can read all about Capriles’ Jewish grandparents (who survived the holocaust), preceding your link with the mysterious words “I see Capriles is actually Radonski”.

    ——-

    Question to the blogmaster and/or the moderators (if any) : is it not time you started removing anti-Jew and homophobic posts?

    Be careful with that ATOS story. At best it is a “misunderstanding” and at worst a work of fiction. The sister of the ATOS victim has now withdrawn the video and says it was all a misunderstanding. See https://twitter.com/bananarahmana – “Farzana , @bananarahmana, I write stuff. I punch and kick people.”

    “Thatcher was lionised NOT by the public, but by the politicians and businessmen of her day, those who profited from her policies, men such as Rupert Murdoch.”

    Perhaps not, but obviously enough of the public liked her enough to vote her into office at three successive general elections.

    Habba,

    Over 55% of the population voted for parties opposing the Tories even at the height of her popularity in 1979. Thanks to our electoral system that meant that throughout the whole time Thatcher was governing, the majority of the population were against her and had never voted for the Tories.

    Radio 1 effectively bans Thatcher song from charts show massively going against every single poll every single organisation is running.

    Ben Cooper: “Well first of all it’s been an incredibly difficult decision to come to. I think I’m between a rock and a hard place on this one. I think there’s a large part of the population that finds it disrespectful but then on the other hand you have a part of society which has decided to demonstrate in this way and if I wasn’t to play it then I would be seen as banning it and that would bring up issues of freedom of speech and censorship. So the decision I have made is that I am not going to play it in full but that I will play a clip of it in a news environment. And when I say a news environment that is a newsreader telling you about the fact that this record has reached a certain place in the chart and here is a clip of that track.

    It’s only 51 seconds long in the first place. There will be a 5 second clip in a news item instead.

    “cloning of Mrs T’s phoney trail will inevitably lead to the Zionist Miliband family coming to power at the next election.”

    Perhaps if you looked at the matter more closely you might find that the Milliband family is slightly less Zionist than you imagine – that is of course if you have the critical faculties to distinguish between having Jewish ancestry and being Zionist .

    To Mary:

    “Given that I suspect your idea of balanced reporting would be to assign hero status to Assange and devil status to Kissinger – and not allow anyone to form their own views based on the facts.”

    Some people may consider Assange a hero but Kissinger would not be considered anything but a war criminal by the majority of people who looked closely enough at the facts.

    You have obviously come to your views despite the facts.

    See for example:

    The Case Against Henry Kissinger The making of a war criminal by Christopher Hitchens.

    Doug “Son of Mary” Scorgie says :

    “Some people may consider Assange a hero but Kissinger would not be considered anything but a war criminal by the majority of people who looked closely enough at the facts.”

    *******

    Of course, our Dougie is one of that small, elite band who “look closely enough at the facts” and this is why the truth is revealed to him while the stupid 99% continue to live in ignorance.

    Pretentious prat.

    You didn’t say that about Jemand; you supported him.

  • nevermind

    How refreshing to see the resident it still throwing his minuscule weight about, every gnat deserves a bite.

    Still stalking Mary I see, you pathetic pervs.

    Jemand and his it kick, complaining how this blog has turned into a slum, are happy as pigs wallowing in the mire of their own making.

    what a pathetic arse licking bunch you are, just to make you feel comfy on your muck heap. T
    hatcher does not deserve the money that’s spent on her and I’m with Richard II, who the fuck do these minority party politicians think they are, spending money like water and telling us to tighten our belts.

    This blog has gone to the dogs, it once had standing and its place amongst others was well deserved, sadly its now inhabited by stalkers and apologists.

    Like a good Tom-panther I’m not even going to pretend I’m weeing on your bedding plants. Thanks for making me laugh though.

    Evening all.

    I am hoping maybe somebody here will help me.

    Could somebody please explain in simple terms how I can buy a copy of ‘Ding Dong The Witch is Dead’ in a way that will count towards its ‘chart’ position?

    It would be nice if I could do this without paying money to any parasitic tax-dodging American corporations – although these days they seem to have their thieving tentacles everywhere, so I accept that may not be possible.

    I’m not at all technically savvy and I’ve never bought an on-line download before, so please could you try to keep the instructions simple!

    Thank you

    Graham

    Oh missed the bit about tax dodging. I can’t be bothered cross-referencing every other digital download site with chart eligibility and ethical policies for 69p though.

    I exposed you as a racist Jemand you are “understandably” upset.

    I would agree with Hitchens view about Kissinger (as would William Shawcross who Mary had a go at recently btw if you read his book Sideshow)- and if you bothered to look at the BBC article to which Mary referenced and quoted from selectively you will see that Hitchens views and his book on the matter are very clearly referenced. The journalist concerned was trying to present a balanced view – with enough infomration so that people reading the article could make up their own minds. You and Mary clearly have a problem with media that acts in such a manner – and I presume prefer your views spoonfed with a built in bias – and then claim that anyone who does otherwise is biased.

    Just believing that someone should be able to state their case and journalists who present both sides of a case isn’t the same as agreeing except in totalitarian states

  • resident dissident

    Nevermind

    I have already made it clear that I am no Thatcherite – but as I have also made it clear I don’t think it is particularly tasteful to start up attacks on her just because she has died and is not buried.

    If Mary or anyone else for that matter wants to start attacking people because they are Jewish (or Moslems, black , homosexual etc. for that matter) then I am not going to hold back until they explain themselves, and I am most certainly not going to turn my back as you seem prepared to do. If she had a shred of decency she would apologise for the untermensch reference she applied to Cameron and Clegg – as she knows all too well the connotations that are attached.

  • Mary

    Some points arise from the JC tribute to Thatcher entitled One of Us.

    ‘…..while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to fly to Britain after his office said that the Thatcher family had requested his presence.’ ….

    Interesting. Did Thatcher know Netanyahu? Why did they particularly request his presence?

    ~~
    She opened a centre in Sderot. No worries. That was taken from the native people like all the rest.

    ‘Sderot was founded in 1951 as a transit camp for Kurdish and Persian Jewish immigrants who lived in tents and shacks during the Jewish exodus from Muslim countries before permanent housing was completed in 1954.[6] It was built on farm lands once belonging to the Palestinian Arab village of Najd[7] and is located a few miles south of the village’s ruins. On 13 May 1948, Najd was occupied by the Negev Brigade as part of Operation Barak, and the villagers were “driven out” [8] to Gaza. In 1956, Sderot was recognized as a local council.[9]’ Wikipedia.

    ~~~

    ‘She had great admiration for Wizo’s work and in particular its contribution to the education of immigrant children from Ethiopia and the former USSR,” said chairman Jill Shaw.’

    Rather a stark contrast there to the recent revelation that Ethiopian Jewish women were being dosed with contraceptives without their knowledge or consent by Israeli medics.

    “If Mary or anyone else for that matter wants to start attacking people because they are Jewish (or Moslems, black , homosexual etc. for that matter)”

    Bigotry is based upon characterizing individuals negatively based on their religion, or race. Madame Pinochet has earned her creds through her individual behavior. There is a difference.

    Res Dis,

    BBC1’s Have I Got News for You tonight was stuffed with often cruel anti-thatcher jokes (like it was many, many years ago). Did you see it? If not check it out on iplayer. What did you think of that?
