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.

SCOTCH is a drink, not a person. Got it?

Can’tSee does it deliberately to wind up and annoy the impure pedigreed in his eyes like you.
Like the Israel Nazi he quotes above, the only genocide in his mind is the one he plans for his projected enemies – that’s all of us especially Muslim me.
UKIP policy in a nutshell, Nuts Hell. EDL are getting ready for demonstrations in Birmingham, a joint demonstration between EDL, ISIS, IDF and UKIP, flush them all down the drains. Thank God for ballot box rigging if 75% of the UK support racist parties.
Craig and Alex Salmond stayed very quiet on that one. Maybe they know something we don’t know about the workings of democra-waitand-see.
Oh dear, got the green cross/swastica again. Sorry.

If what you believe comes to be, it will be the streets for us.
It will not be us who will be pistolwhipped.
The dark masters of Whitehall know and expect this.
Why do you think they send their boot boys the O-O into George Square to attack and terrorise the SNP supporters and families on the 19th of September?
Remind me, who ran the Protestant murder gangs in N Ireland?
These psychopathic twisted and evil ghosts are hoping they will be the clarion call to arms again. In the meantime, here is one they made earlier.
Craig and D Simmons
I think that the UKIP squeezed into his MEP seat by several hundred votes.
Looking at the geographical spread on his votes suggested that it is one area of immigrants which eased him over the line.
Not immigrants from the sub Continent but “white settlers.”
The BBC and local newspapers in Scotland certainly aided his passage and he must have pulled a % of Scots as well; O-O and Daily Mail readers.
Irony?

What is with all this flattery?
The other night I got praise, and then, was shot down in flames. I was told it was”spam”.
Here was me thinking “spam” was that stuff the Yanks sent over here during the last war.
A new language to learn, me thinks.

BBC giving 95 minutes of prime air time to terrorists…”The Gatekeepers”
Posted by Ed on October 11, 2014, 5:19 am
The history of the Shin Bet is overflowing with murders, torturing and ies. How nice of the BBC to give six of its former heads over an hour and a half on prime time tv to “share their insights”.
It’s directed by Dror Moreh, a former election ad maker for Ariel Sharon and his “Best recent read” was “A Problem from Hell” by Samantha Power.
Brilliant.
Note the context and framing: “Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel has been unable to transform its crushing military victory into a lasting peace.”
It is taken for granted, it is a given, that Israel wants peace!

The Gatekeepers
Storyville, 2013-2014
For the first time ever, six former heads of Israel’s domestic secret service agency, the Shin Bet, share their insights and reflect publicly on their actions and decisions.
Throughout that entire period, these heads of the Shin Bet stood at the centre of Israel’s decision-making process in all matters pertaining to security. They worked closely with every Israeli prime minister, and their assessments and insights had – and continue to have – a profound impact on Israeli policy.
The Gatekeepers offers an exclusive account of the sum of their successes and failures. In the process it sheds light on the controversy surrounding the occupation in the aftermath of the Six-Day War.

In case you do not have this. There are nearly 50,000 signatures.
EU: put a stop to TTIP and CETA
We need 50000 signatures to reach our goal. 48118 of you have signed up so far. These signatures will be added to hundreds of thousands of other people’s from across Europe and presented to the EU.
The petition text:
To the European Union
We call on the institutions of the European Union and its member states to stop the negotiations with the USA on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and not to ratify the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.
We want to prevent TTIP and CETA because they include several critical issues such as investor-state dispute settlement and rules on regulatory cooperation that pose a threat to democracy and the rule of law. We want to prevent lowering of standards concerning employment, social, environmental, privacy and consumers and the deregulation of public services (such as water) and cultural assets from being deregulated in non-transparent negotiations. The ECI (European Citizen’s Initiative) supports an alternative trade and investment policy in the EU.

George Galloway intends to abstain in Monday’s vote on recognising Palestinian statehood. “I continue to support the only realistic solution, one democratic and secular state, called Israel-Palestine or Palestine-Israel.”
“The proposed two-state solution is to all intents and purposes dead and is only used in order to provide Israel further breathing space to consolidate the illegal settlements and expand its land grab further.”
“For these reasons, I am afraid I cannot support this motion and will abstain on Monday.”
George Galloway, MP for Bradford West,
I think George Galloway is wrong here, can he name one state or other institution at the UN who supports “a one state solution?” Can he name one political party in the world including in Palestine which supports a one state solution, I certainly cannot. As an idealistic solution it is attractive, but as a practical and legal first step it is very problematical. All those resolutions at the UN called for self determination of the Palestinian people or for Israel to end the occupation of Palestinian land, they did not call for a one state solution, far from it, they envisage two states living side by side, Israel and Palestine, with equal rights for minorities in both states. This outcome [far off as it seems to be] is the preferred choice of the majority in the world including the Palestinians. I think George Galloway’s abstention is completely wrong and self indulgent. He must remember he was never a revolutionary and I think quite rightly believes in reform or one step at a time. In other words the Palestinians need statehood first, then they can approach the ICC and ICJ and apply to join all the other 60 odd? UN Agencies, their membership of UNESCO and other recent agencies and conventions point the way forward, the recognition of that fact is what prompted the Swedish government to recognise the state of Palestine, just as I hope the UK parliament does on Monday.
I agree with GG. There can never be two states when one would be a collection of Bantustans.

OT Been having a closer look at Kobane wondering why IS/ISIL or ISIS have taken a special interest in it. First thing is ,its much smaller than I thought it would be. According to the MSM ,population is 400,000.There is no way the population is that large.According to Fascist Fred’s favourite info source,Wikipedia,the population is ~ 50,000.They’ve been fighting over it for almost 40 days.The baddies have 40% of the territory and are still making progress despite a coalition of nations bombing them.
The Israeli’s flattened Gaza in less.There must be street fighting which is real messy,but the TV shots show smoke plumes here and there, no big explosions, and no night time raids,no bodies as we saw in the Gaza onslaught.Thought IS/ISIL/ISIS were real animals?
No wonder Turkey isn’t taking the bait.There is something far wrong with the Kobane story that we are not being told.Kobane is definitely not Stalingrad,Kingston on Thames maybe.
Signed it Mary and am heading into Vienna centre for the march against it.
TTIP will strip countries rights away as swiftly as the Mongol Hordes.
Mary @12-16pm There can never be two states when one would be a collection of Bantustans. I agree with you, that is why all illegal settlements must be dismantled or the Palestinians let them remain, and they [the illegal Israeli settlers] become a minority within the newly formed Palestinian state. Until the self determination of the Palestinians is achieved and the Israelis are forced to withdraw their occupation forces back to the Green line, then the Palestinian resistance should use all means necessary within the rules of International law including armed resistance to compel them to do so.
