I just saw the British Prime Minister do something, so appallingly tasteless I could not believe it was happening. BBC News just showed a dawn raid by immigration officers on a well-kept home. So far, so tasteless.
Astonishingly, once the evil foreigners had been herded up and taken off to detention camps, where they risk being beaten up or raped, Teresa May and David Cameron arrived, and posed in the victims’ kitchen for trophy pictures.
I thought that what Blair has done since leaving Downing Street had debased the office of Prime Minister to an astonishing degree. But, posing for a stunt in the neat and clean kitchen of some poor immigrant, David Cameron had plumbed levels of tastelessness that again make me realise that the UK has become a country whose values I no longer recognise. The disgusting complicity of the BBC in filming this stunt is equally astonishing.
Are there really so few people left who have the slightest idea of what constitutes decent human behaviour?
Bah!Humbug
Are there no prisons..?
Trust Bah!Humbug to jump on DesPiccy’s blatant racist bandwagons.
I see the EU has chosen to bow to UK/US pressure to “do as we say”. They’ve been doing this since Blair cut them up over the war with Iraq. What a disgustingly spineless organisation they have become. Certainly not acting in member countries interests.
Guano, aka bird shit, is prompt to confirm my prediction:
“This proposal will naturally be denounced as inhumane and racist”
That was the one about inviting 244,000 Palestinians to reside in Britain.
But apparently Guano feels that the flow of immigrants to England is insufficient, or at least until the racist English have been reduced to a dying relict population.
Still, it’s better to be a racist, I think, than an advocate of the genocide of one’s own people.
DesPiccy
Let’s get this straight. UK politicians are perfectly free, like all other UK citizens, to support the Zionist state of Israel as individuals. What they are not free to do, any more than a Roman Catholic, or a Communist or a Muslim is to mix their own personal affinities with their representation of UK citizens in parliament.
That’s called Lying. David Cameron belongs to a generation of politicians who have agreed to incorporate as much of our reachable neighbours into the Western Market Capitalist block.
I agree with that policy. But when Cameron tries to wriggle out of the EU or does Trophy selfies of evicting illegal immigrants, that was not the platform he had stood on. He is lying.
He stood on a platform of European expansion. He will never see the light of day after the election, because the UK electorate are still decent enough to detest their politicians Lying.
DesPiccy
You are unbelievable. If my yellow, blue, green or rainbow neighbour is decent to me, what’s my problem? Are these people bringing contagious diseases? Are they aliens or robots from space?
What a sick world you inhabit which is unable to look beyond the myopic mirror of self.
It doesn’t say much for European/Western civilisation does it ?
If ever there was a good argument for dissolving of modern nation states it’s this (along with the system of robbery obviously) It’s barbarity that could not be accomplished without the power of state/corporate press, and organised state army’s of killers etc.
I wonder if people will look back and think how fucking awful our society had become. I hope so.
One thing I do know, those who must understand will get nothing but contempt from me forever. Maybe there is a kind of personal peace they can still find, but i’ll be fucked if I ever forget how some have acted.
And they want me to vote FOR them. People in positions of power who can watch this and do nothing ? That’s seriously messed up people, probably in need of mantel health treatment.
I see the EU has chosen to bow to UK/US pressure to “do as we say”.
That is the beauty of global governance ushered in by none other than the President of the EU, damp rag van Rumploy, when he announced 2008 as “the first year of global governance.” What the people want is now irrelevant. The people are simply to be managed, hence PR operative Cameron as PM, Piss-prize winner and champion tele-promp reader O’Bomber as US President.
Global governance means rule by unelected bureaucrats who seek the favor, not of the people, but the dynamic elements of the deracinated, plutocratic, global elite, who reward the politicians in proportion to their service: Phoney Blair having done particularly well, in this regard.
The system is, of course, ancient. Thomas Macaulay describes how it worked in England in the 18th century. But now it’s gone global national interests will inevitably be trashed.
What a sick world you inhabit which is unable to look beyond the myopic mirror of self.
Try reading my In Praise of Diversity, nothing sick about that, I think.
But I realize that someone with the alias of birdshit might well be a troll settler if not a sick self-hating Brit, and in that case the twisted notion of calling opposition to the genocide of one’s own people sick and racist makes sense in a sick and twisted way.
Here’s another bit of background reading:
“935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America’s Moral Integrity”
http://www.amazon.com/935-Lies-Decline-Americas-Integrity/dp/1622311655
(And thanks to Blair, the decline of Britain’s integrity as well)
We don’t live in a democracy and many of us are waking up to this fact. Personally, I feel stupid because it’s been a long journey to get to that realisation because I’ve been watching the BBC and reading the Guardian. I understand now that this was a mistake and they are similar tools of the state as was Pravda in USSR.
The main stream media is either compliant or scared and the junk served over many TV stations has desensitised many people to an appalling extent.
If catering to the lowest common denominator and feeding opium to the masses was Margaret Thatcher’s intention when she allowed Murdoch to make the inroads he did, it’s certainly had some effect.
In my humble opinion Cameron is worried about YES in Scotland on one hand and UKIP in England on the other.
The vile Tories and their BBC propagandists are vying for the lowest common denominator and the race to the bottom of the gutter. Nothing will detract them from their continued attempts to appease the racist bigotry of the white working class of middle England in order to grab grubby votes. I’ve had enough of it. The only realistic hope and last straw for the future that I see is a Scottish yes vote on the basis that it might set in motion English demands for independence from the ruling Westminster elite.
Plenty more lies…. in Obama’s latest speech. No transcript yet. Apparently he made a speech exactly 10 years ago that put him on the political map. Maybe his 10 years is up?
I am surprised they were not going through the cupboards.
LOL, GF. They’d get someone to do that for them…
@Guano
“I don’t think you can make that connection between Zionism and Jewishness.”
Of course you can. Zionists/Talmudites have hijacked the Hebrew religion, which after numerous distortions and innovations (From the Nile to the Euphrates, and rules on usury) became Judaism.
Zionists make “israel” out to be a Jewish state. Did you mean something like ‘Zionism isn’t Judaism’? If so, even that is highly questionable, given that Zionist ideas have emerged from those who claim to be Jews or those that support a Jewish right to Palestine.
Perhaps you mean not all Jews are Zionists? (although the large majority of those calling themselves do indeed subscribe to Zionism) – That’s probably as close you can get.
@ Guano again.
“It’s possible that Miliband is a Zionist but he has cunningly not said anything in public.” – Tell that to George Galloway who in a recent video taped talk with Q&A stated that he (GG) didn’t believe Miliband was a Zionist…. it was worse than that…. Miliband pretended to be one.
David Miliband was on the list of hasbara authors, along with the other luminaries that fat pig david aaronovitch, etc.
@ many of the above
Is there a full moon tonight?

I don’t remember you saying that Russia’s actions in Chechniya and Dagestan were war crimes.
Will you now take this opportunity to do so?
I agree the whole thing is tasteless – even if the immigrants concerned were here illegally we know nothing of the events that led to them breaking the law and even the guilty can be deserving of compassion rather than what is in effect gloating. The correct thing to do is to let the normal legal processes run their course rather than play them for political advantage – a point which is frequently ignored here by others from time to time.
Clearly this whole act was all part of a co-ordinated PR campaign by the Tories coming on the day that they also announced changes in the benefit rules for immigrants – while I recognise the need for laws and controls regarding immigration, it is very unlikely that PR and short term party political needs are likely to be the best drivers for effective laws and public administration.
I should add that the BBC can at least offer the excuse that it is very difficult for them to totally ignore what our Prime Minister and Home Secretary are up to – and that it is for the electorate to decide whether or not they approve. My concern is more with the behaviour of the Police and Immigration Authorities who are meant to be above such political interference but must have clearly connived with the whole PR stunt – with all the security required for the PM and Home Secretary a lot of pre-planning will have had to have taken place.
Tunnels, tunnels and more tunnels, what a revelation. A 7 by 30 mile strip pf land is under economic siege and its people resort to digging tunnels, now becoming the hot issue within this O/T comment here.
Now to the issue of one way traffic tunnels/ Why has nobody in Hamas thought of moving their missiles through these tunnels and launch them from Israel?
“I think you’ll find that the USSR and the Communist bloc voted for the creation of the State of Israel as well. The “Anglosphere”?”
I think the UK even abstained in the critical UN vote.
Of course what Israel is now doing in Gaza is a war crime – and the same accusation can also be levelled at the Hamas leadership, Assad and many others. I am not sure however what good attaching labels will do however for anyone apart from giving a sense of general well being to our armchair warriors. Rather than a hate hate dialogue surely the way forward is to encourage something different between the reasonable people on both sides – if people bother to look there will be plenty of people on the Israeli (and the Gazan side) who speak with a different voice from their leadership – speak to them as human beings (and drop the anti-Semitism) and then there is some chance of progress. The only thing of which I am certain is that this conflict will not be solved by one side defeating the other.
@Habby re Anglosphere: I hope you are better informed than Anon (and me regarding “forcemeat”). Clue: George Orwell. Maybe the meaning has morphed a little over the years. Russia wouldn’t have been Anglosphere, and neither would Germany.
Maybe Canspeccy was referring to thr Balfour Declaration in 1917, which was UK with US pressure (although some dispute that).
Just seen your comment, RD. Britain was of course fighting with Palestine against the then terrorists in 1946-7, and many soldiers lost their lives. Excellent Channel 4 series a couple of years ago dramatizing this period. Not surprising, then, that GB abstained. Many in Britain probably wanted to vote against…
He’s actually a chubby burglar. Someone should smash him with a frying pan. It would be fitting for a nobody like Cameron to be arrested for mere burglary.
David Cameron, we know on this blog, is a 24 carat moron, and all the expensive education in the world simply can’t give him taste, or judgement, or any particular ability whatsoever, unless you count bullshit and confidence,. He is basically a total cretin who, I think due to his fund-raising abilities, and connections, has been foisted upon us to continue the neocon policies of Blair. I however am actually surprised that he’d pull a stunt so dull-witted. I presume he’s got smart people in his office advising him to attack UKIP or some such, but he’s the PM, and above such things, really.
I note Libya is a full-on failed state now, with everyone fighting each other. Our idiot PM should doa photo-op there: mission accomplished. The Prick.
@Brendan: Perhaps he just wanted to meet “The Common People”:

Your use of the emotive word genocide instead of culture shock, leads me to believe that you are calling for violence rather than reconciliation.
If there are issues between the values of one nation and another there will be peaceful ways of resolving them. Leave it to the Zios to find the nasty ways please.
Brendan.
Hague and Cameron should both swing for Libya, not the type they are already doing.
Craig,
Forget what constitutes decent human behaviour.
What – I ask constitutes decent “demoracy” when many wide and far are suffering this:-
Electile Dysfunction:
The inability to become aroused over any of the choices put forth by either party.
Sorry – ” “demoracy” – that should have read “democracy”
Yeah – wish it was on offer.
