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?
Mowing the lawn keeps coming up….

“The capacity of one symbolic incident to set the Israelis on a big war has many precedents. In 1982, the assassination of Shlomo Argov, the Israeli ambassador in London, provoked Israel to invade Lebanon, to pummel Beirut in that dreadful summer, to force the PLO’s removal to Tunisia, and to occupy the south of Lebanon for another eighteen years, creating Hezbollah. In 2006, Israel made the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers and the death of three others along the Lebanese border the occasion for a major war during which the southern suburbs of Beirut, where Hezbollah has its headquarters, were flattened. Hezbollah’s rockets flew into Israel after Israel began its air attack, not before. The preliminaries to the three campaigns in Gaza since 2008-09 show the same tendency. In the Israeli psyche, these incidents stand as a mortal threat to their existence. The wars that follow invariably cause more Israeli casualties than the initial incidents themselves. The only compensation for that is the devastation inflicted on the enemy, for which the incidents provide a convenient excuse. Then the Israelis go back to the previous policy of deterrence, until they feel compelled to mow the lawn again.”
Habbakuk,
“Is there a full moon tonight?”
Stupid question.
In the blogosphere,with its global reach,it’s always a full moon somewhere.
Ya eejit troll.
“The West, or at least the Anglosphere, having created the racist state of 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”?
in 1917, Britain promised her “best endeavours” to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine:
“His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” (Balfour Declaration)
The Anglosphere is a common term for Britain, the US and the former UK white dominions. The US, as the leader of the post-war Anglosphere determined the success of the state of Israel by giving it immediate diplomatic recognition.
As for the USSR, yes they did contribute when they released the future Jewish terrorist, Nobel Piss Prize winner, and mastermind of the King David Hotel bombing, Menarchim Begin, from the Gulag in 1943.
@Guano
Your use of the emotive word genocide instead of culture shock
Bollocks. Genocide:
“More often …refers to a coordinated plan aimed at destruction of the essential foundations of the life of national groups so that these groups wither and die like plants that have suffered a blight. The end may be accomplished by the forced disintegration of political and social institutions, of the culture of the people, of their language, their national feelings and their religion. It may be accomplished by wiping out all basis of personal security, liberty, health and dignity. When these means fail the machine gun can always be utilized as a last resort. Genocide is directed against a national group as an entity and the attack on individuals is only secondary to the annihilation of the national group to which they belong.”
That’s Raphael Lemkin, the Jewish legal scholar who coined the term “Genocide.”
The EU policy of mass migration and multi-culturalism combined with the suppression of the fertility of indigenous populations is a highly effective means of genocide as Lemkin defined it. As a consequence of it, the English are already a minority in their own capital city and in other major urban centers. In Birmingham’s elementary schools, English children are not even the largest minority. And it is in Birmingham where Muslim settlers have attempted to take control of the school system, with intent, obviously, to replace the inculcation of English culture with an alien politico-religious system.
” Genocide is directed against a national group as an entity and the attack on individuals is only secondary to the annihilation of the national group to which they belong.”
It’s easy to sing platitudes from a position that resembles ‘nothing to lose’ by expressing it thus, but perhaps he only meant it to apply to the Jews.
Assimilation of all races may not be such a bod idea, even in Scotland. Once physical differences disappear the racists rants decrease and maybe even one or two marry into your family. Once we stop bickering over our differences and focus on what is shared in common, we know this is no longer terra but Nirvana.

@Ben-American Fascist
So we are to understand that you are in favor of eliminating both the English and the Scotch as distinct racial and cultural entities, but you object to calling policies leading to that end, and imposed against the will of the the people, genocidal. Unfortunately for you and like minded liberals, Lemkin’s definition leaves no doubt that in the matter of terminology you position is insupportable.
—–Press release—–
Israel today responded to critics who questioned their
indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, non-combatants, and
children by the thousand in recent days. Their statement follows:
Resident Dissident, 29 Jul, 10:54 pm; you make a very important point:
Craig has previously described such collusion as typical of police states – the enforcement authorities following specific instructions from politicians, violating the independence of the police. This is a very bad sign.
Habbabkuk, isn’t this a small step in the direction of fascism?
“In the blogosphere,with its global reach,it’s always a full moon somewhere.”
Do we know where?
Where’s Blair? Utter silence, except for an American interview on the 27th – and a pretty poor performance it was. Last inferred presence – Los Angeles. From where he seems to have returned today. Was he visiting Werritty?
I mean, you know, guys, he might have been able to prevent this…..

You can see what a school looks like in the pictures.
Here’s a picture of a tunnel:
http://morninggloryphotography.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/tunnel.jpg?w=545&h=363
Easy mistake to make.
Incidentally, no warning was given of this attack, and if there had been, there was nowhere for the people – already sheltering from devastation elsewhere – to go.
Thanks Glen, maybe that explains why Hamas draws fire upon its own people, rather than shifting their missile through the tunnels, mostly destroyed now,and lob them from Israel proper.
Who would want to target an Israeli Kibbuz if missiles originated from its compound?
Don’t mention fascism, because if you do, then the whole business of zionist narrative will start unravelling, for fascism was practised only by Germans, who are the ultimate standard of evil. This is a kind of SI unit of evil that if diluted then really the zionist scum will have no place to run to, and they cannot in anyway explain away their barbarity, land theft, aggression that in return they expect to get a special dispensation of exceptionalism that absolves them for the horrors they perpetrate.
Hence fascism then is the caricature of moustachioed leather boot and overcoat clad, heel clicking champagne drinker, who sports a monocle, and whose sole mission is nothing other than the “destruction of the j-ws”.
Therefore anyone pointing to fascism and its practice anywhere in the big wide world (Earth included) they are talking nonsense. It is a sort of a zionist thing!
The zionist scum bags in effect are dictating as to what the “reality is” as they revise the actualities to fit their own obtuse narrative.
There are several groups opposing payment of our TV licences on Facebook. But nothing coordinated. Tony Rooke’s one-man effort was spirited, but nothign has ensued from it.

The BBC reports almost nothing about the genocide in Ukraine. BBC Russia put a report together where eye-witnesses to the shootdown of MH17 were interviewed claiming that a fighter plane appeared to have shot it down. The report was removed because it does not meet the BBC agenda requirements.

Something needs to be done. Getting fed crap is one thing. Having to pay for it is something else.
Very good BBC. Hammond steps in with an Ebola scare when the top story should of course be that the Gaza child-killers have shelled another UN shelter. Nicely timed by the new neocon at the FCO to steal the top slot.
Crimes against humanity should be the charge against Israel. The EU are too frightened of them to push that; the UK and US are collaborators.
@Mike: US/UK seem to have taken control of the EU (level 3 sanctions yesterday for no other reason that “because we say so”). Only hope is for individual European States to reclaim their sovereignty. That might also have a big impact on voting regarding Israel/Palestine.
Did you hear the one about the old lady that rang the hotel reception furious because she could see a man with no clothes on in the building opposite?
The manager goes to her room and looks through the window. “I can’t see a naked man” he says. “You have to stand on the chair” said the old lady.
@Clark: We shouldn’t be surprised by this. The current crop of Tories have emanated to some extent from the banned (by Norman Tebbit…) organisation FCS, some of whom used to wear “Hang Mandela” t-shirts. Check out on Wikipedia.
Margaret Thatcher politicised the police at the time of the miners strike. Plenty of evidence recently emerged to support that. The FCS were well known for being more Thatcherite than Thatcher, so we shouldn’t be surprised that they are giving us a taste of what it’ll be like if they have an overall majority. If Clegg had any backbone at all, he’d withdraw support right now.
Where’s Blair?
Yesterday: UAE. Returned at midnight.
At a guess, this will be the propping-up-Sisi exercise, funded by UAE:

ABOUT DAILY KOS
Founded on May 26, 2002, Daily Kos is the premier online political community with 2.5 million unique visitors per month and a quarter of a million registered users. It is at once a news organization, community, and activist hub. Among luminaries posting diaries on the site are President Jimmy Carter, Senator Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and dozens of other senators, congressmen, and governors. Even more exciting than that, however, are the hundreds of thousands of regular Americans that have used Daily Kos to shape a political world once the exclusive domain of the rich, connected, and powerful.
I can imagine the Hamas leaders, up against the wall, reading this Abbas proposal to sell out. Given the UN is less than a ‘Bandaid’ for the Palestinians now, what the hell would it be like as a UN Protectorate? Same terrible oppression. Same blue and white Israeli flags. The imperator, with its surrogates the US and the UK, would see it as a way to completely extinguish these good and so tolerant humans.
I wonder why it has not been broadcast.
Wonderful people the British high commands. And now forget these brown people in the East Mediterranean with their many injured and dying, with their burst ear drums from thermobaric weapons and homes collapsed to rubble.
But hey it’s the flower show this Saturday, the Torygraph has just come through the letterbox, those wonderful athletes are hopping, jumping and cycling in Glasgow, house prices are going up fast and we’re off to our holiday home in Corfu soon.
As with the Palestinians, forget all the young adults who are billeted with their parents until they are in their 30s. The fact that the people at the bottom go on losing out all the time in this world of rabid capital is one of the most difficult things to bear.
It’s all a horrible,tasteless show! and is meant to make stupid people think that the government is trying to reduce immigration.
This government and the one before is in favour of mass immigration,it is almost their only economic policy.
We have a figure for the number of decent Israeli Jews – less than 4% think Israeli has used excessive firepower against targets in the Gaza Strip.

Finkelstein put it best, when he said Israel was now “a lunatic state”. Unfortunately pandered to by the rest of the world.
Cameron outlines immigration curbs ‘to put Britain first’
David Cameron said the “magnetic pull” of UK benefits had to be addressed so people came for the right reasons and the rules “put Britain first”.
The prime minister also warned people who are in the UK illegally: “We will find you, we will send you home.”
The contrived and manipulated raid was intended to mesh with the above announcement and reinforce a recognized vote winning construct.

@Peacewhisher – “US/UK seem to have taken control of the EU (level 3 sanctions yesterday for no other reason that “because we say so”). Only hope is for individual European States to reclaim their sovereignty. That might also have a big impact on voting regarding Israel/Palestine.”
I also think that the US and the EU have had similar aims for a long time.
It wasn’t always thus, GF. For example, at the turn of the century, the EU was very much against US/UK plans for surveillance of electronic traffic.
We have a figure for the number of decent Israeli Jews – less than 4% think Israeli has used excessive firepower against targets in the Gaza Strip.
Can’t argue with the stats, can you? We now have the true measure of this great nation. Incidentally, the figures are not too different in the US.
