In Heywood and Middleton, a classic Labour northern English seat, UKIP and the Tories combined got 51% of the vote. In Clacton – a deprived coastal area – the Conservatives and UKIP got 83% of the vote.
It is not that Labour and the Lib Dems offer an alternative that is in any significant way less devoted to corporate interests and serving the economic needs of the super-rich. The large majority of voters, and especially those who do not bother to vote, have by now worked out that the difference in their lives is negligible if they have a different member of the political class with his or her nose in the trough at their expense.
But everybody who has seen an actual UKIP campaign knows that their grassroots appeal is simply racist – they promote the idea that it is not the billionaires and ultra-wealthy who are sucking the resources from society, but rather the poor of a different colour. The Conservatives are striving, particularly through rampant Islamophobia, to compete for the atavistic vote.
UKIP is an antibody produced by the political establishment and their paymasters, to counter public disillusion with a dreadful and worsening unequal society. UKIP’s task is to divert public anger away from their exploiters towards specific groups of the poor. It does so very effectively. UKIP’s success yesterday will lead to a race among the mainstream parties to scapegoat vulnerable social groups – immigrants, benefit claimants, unemployed – and to compete in external xenophobia. The next government of the United Kingdom will be right wing to a degree which would have seemed unthinkable for the majority of my life.

None of her Nurses were English..they were largely from Africa, Jamaica, India, and Ireland.
The task of a home carer for the elderly is stressful and very poorly paid, but it is a job, and as you indicate it’s a job increasingly often denied to an indigenous British person by an immigrant.
That your mother’s immigrant carers were kind, knowledgeable and conscientious is no surprise. Immigrants tend to be among the brighter more energetic members of their native community, which is why they out-compete the natives for many jobs.
Opposing mass immigration to Britain or anywhere else is not therefore to denigrate immigrants, to hate immigrants or to despise the racial groups from which immigrants come. Certainly that could not be true in my case since I am an immigrant.
Opposition to immigration is thus opposition to a national policy not a reflection of attitudes to Rumanians, Poles, gypsies or Nigerians. Most immigrants become loyal citizens of their adoptive country — though not always. Europeans in America have generally maintained a genocidal policy toward the Amerindians, and there are some in Britain with a settler mentality: Shahid Malik, for example, who seeks a British Parliament comprising a majority of Muslims with a Muslim Prime Minister.
My mother died as yours did, attended on by family and assisted by home carers, who were I believe English. And like those caring for your mother, my mother’s carers were conscientious, competent and kind.
Like yours, my mother declined the opportunity to die at public expense and probably with much indignity in hospital. And as was your experience, the social services proved to be staffed by useless parasites intent on doing nothing except refer one to someone else. I tried: hopeless. My older sister tried: ended in floods of tears. My oldest sister, the tough one of the bunch, a concert pianist with a ruthless drive to succeed in everything she has ever done, gave them a histrionic introduction to hell. That way we got the carers. How ordinary folk cope, I cannot imagine.
Just when you think the situation can’t get any worse, there’s a new threat being announced by the Israeli News Agency.
Imagine your at a large public event with thousands of people attending when all of a sudden a Jihadists, infected with Ebola, detonates a bomb he is wearing. Now imagine a coordinated attack like this in multiple cities across the country within hours of each other.

Castro accused the U.S.-led Western alliance of promoting a “war of extermination” against the Russian Federation.
The former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro, this Wednesday accused the new NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg of promoting a “war of extermination” against Russia and described the military alliance as being “more extreme” than the Islamic State group.

According to an August 2014 poll, half of Israelis want to send Obama Ebola for only supporting Israeli terrorism 95, not 100%.
In the wake of Israel’s summer 2014 genocidal massacre in Gaza, euphemistically called Operation “Protective” Edge,” the US corporate media is finally (somewhat) catching on to the egregious degree of violent extremism, racism, and downright fascism in Israeli culture.
An August 5, NBC story, titled “Send President Obama Ebola as Birthday Gift, Some Israelis Say,” reports that, according to a recent poll, 46% of Israelis “said they wanted to give Barack Obama an envelope containing the Ebola virus as a present for his 53rd birthday.”
Note, these aren’t just “some” Israelis, as NBC writes; these are almost half of Israelis.

India has warned that Pakistan will pay an “unaffordable” price if it continues shelling the Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Indian Defense Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday accused the government in Islamabad of making unprovoked attacks on the Indian side of the de facto border in Kashmir.
“If Pakistan persists with this adventurism, our forces will make cost of this adventurism unaffordable for it,” Jaitley told journalists in the Indian capital, New Delhi, adding, “Pakistan should stop this unprovoked firing and shelling if it wants peace on the border.

@ Harry Law:
These are deeply offensive comments, probably hate speech directed at the majority of the people of Scotland.
That’s the secret weapon of the liberal-left: terrorize your opponents with an onslaught of hate speech (protected by the police, public service employers and other upholders of political correctness) characterizing them as haters, bigotys, racists, idiots and frauds.
Police Scotland will be pulling you in Fred for offensive behaviour if the RSPCA dont get to you first.
Never mind Ruth Davidson.
They have questioned her by the way.As a witness.She is not being accused of doing anything wrong yet.
They’ve got to establish she was telling the truth or whether like you she tells porky pies as in making it all up.
Britain’s trade ties with Israel have jumped to a record high from January to August 2014 despite the public outrage against huge atrocities committed during the Tel Aviv regime’s 50-day war on the Gaza Strip.
Exports to Britain from the Israeli regime have climbed by nearly 40 percent over the past 12 months, while British exports to the regime have jumped in total value by over 14 percent, according to the Israeli regime’s Central Bureau of Statistics as cited in a Wednesday report by RT.
Meanwhile, the UK’s military-industrial ties with the Israeli regime further bolstered the expanded trade dealings between the two sides amid Israel’s aggressive policies against Palestinians in the occupied territories.

A leading candidate for the Lib Dem presidency was yesterday accused of helping cover up Cyril Smith’s vile catalogue of child sex abuse.
Liz Lynne, who succeeded Smith as MP for Rochdale, allegedly ordered her PA to destroy several pages of notes containing a stream of allegations against the paedophile.
They detailed a litany of abuse at the Knowl View children’s home in Rochdale, which closed in the mid-1990s.
The PA, Deborah Doyle, said she had taken the notes during a 1996 telephone conversation with a former manager of the home, Martin Digan.

This is a sort of antidote to UKIP’s vision of a ethnically pure UK. I hope it cheers Craig up a bit. It shows that it’s possible to reject the worst trappings of nationalism, the myths, the blood-bands that weigh so heavily on us, and choose instead to become a human being.

“Fred you Tourettes suffering tosser they did take her in and question her, as witness I never said that they questioned her as a suspect.”
No they did not take her in and question her.
It didn’t happen, understand? The police did not take her anywhere either as a witness or a suspect.
How many more times? What you said just is not true and all your personal insults and attacks will not alter that.

Britain’s former Lord Chancellor has condemned police deployment of snooping legislation to gain access to private journalistic records. A senior police official conceded on Tuesday the force’s powers to uncover journalists’ sources require revision.
Speaking on the BBC’s Radio 4 Today program, Britain’s former Lord Chancellor, Falconer, said UK police should not have authorized themselves to utilize the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa), which had been originally designed to tackle terrorism.

“Proposed by the chair of Labour Friends of Palestine, the back-bencher’s motion also has the support of Liberal Democrat MPs. A number of Conservative backbenchers will also lend their support, despite the party’s large pro-Israel constituency.
The motion states: “This House believes that the Government should recognize the state of Palestine alongside the State of Israel.”
The vote follows Sweden’s successful vote to recognize Palestine as a state – the first EU country to do so, despite opposition from the Israeli government.”

Every little bit helps. The big question is; will US veto the UN resolution? Abbas fears the US will follow through on threat to ditch 700 million in aid if he signs with ICC. My guess is it will be hard for US to cut off funds while they give no-strings attached 3 billion to Israel.

He has now been arrested twice…and released…but with serious threats from the Social Services re his daughter and his grandson living in a council house in Essex.
Smashed their way in on Monday night…
What have they done with him…
If they are going to waste him..what chance have the rest of us got…
They explained it slowly and quietly to him…do you really want to write again on your blog..that no one needs to read…guess what we will do…and they fucking mean it.

POLICE have spoken to Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson in connection with alleged breaches of electoral law in the weeks before the independence referendum.
They were asked to investigate after Ms Davidson said pro-union supporters at sample openings of ballot boxes took tallies of postal votes before the count.
It is understood the Tory leader was spoken to yesterday as a witness and party sources say there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on her part, according to the Herald newspaper.

Why not be honest and call these UKIPers what they are, terrorists, then call up the artillery and flatten Clacton, killing all those “evil” or “extraordinarily thick” and “stupid,” or “deeply unpleasant sociopaths” who didn’t vote for more immigrants, cheap labour, corporate profits and property development.

Proposed by the chair of Labour Friends of Palestine
Are there no treason laws in Britain? Why do people vote for a scoundrel taking money for claiming to be a Conservative Friend of Israel, or some other foreign place?
Or to answer my own question, because anyone claiming to be a Friend of Britain would be howled down as a racist untermensch by the liberal-left clowns whose chief purpose in life seems to be to line their pockets as low-rent PR agents and promoters of windmills, while trashing the interests on the common people of England.
The Israeli authorities have delayed indefinitely the entry of 60 truckloads of building materials into the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian official said.
“We were notified by the Palestinian National Company that Israel has indefinitely delayed the entry of the 60 trucks into the Gaza Strip,” Mounir al-Ghalban of Gaza’s border authority told our media sources.
The move came despite Israeli “promises” to allow the entry of the construction supplies into the blockaded enclave on Tuesday through Kerem Shalom crossing, he added.
During a recent 51-day onslaught, the Israeli army damaged 15,671 housing units across the Gaza Strip, including 2,276 that were totally destroyed, according to official Palestinian figures.

Students is the Catalan capital Barcelona have gathered in protest at the Spanish constitutional court’s ruling that stops Catalonia from holding an independence referendum.
The demonstration took place on Wednesday, with protesters wearing white masks with a black cross covering the mouth.
Last week, Catalan leaders set up a regional control commission following the Spanish government’s move to block the vote on independence.

“The splintering of the Free Syrian Army is seen by many regional analysts as a sign of the increased sectarianism of the civil war. What began as an Arab Spring uprising against dictatorship has become a vehicle for extremists who attack all government supporters as infidels and apostates. For its part, the Assad regime rallies minority Shiites and Alawites by condemning Sunni rebels as takfiris, or “impure Muslims.”
Kind of a metaphor for the Left, isn’t it?
