It says a huge amount about the confidence of the royal family, that they feel able to respond to their Nazi home movie with nothing other than outrage that anybody should see it. They make no denial they were giving Nazi salutes, no statement that the royal family did not support the Nazis. Of course the young children had no idea of the implications. But the adults most certainly did. The missing figure is the cameraman, future King George, who was filming his wife and brother displaying the family sympathies.
The royal family were of course German themselves – completely so. Since George I every royal marriage in line of succession had been conducted in strict accordance with the Furstenprivatrecht, to a member of a German royal family. The Queen Mother, who was of course not expected to feature in promulgating the line of succession, was the first significant exception in 220 years. She was evidently trying hard to fit in. But I am not sure German-ness has much to do with it. Nazi sympathies were much more common in the aristocracy than generally admitted. Their vast wealth and massive land ownership contrasted with the horrific poverty and malnutrition of the 1930’s, led the aristocracy to fear a very real prospect of being stood against a wall and shot. Fascism appeared to offer social amelioration for the workers with continued privilege for the aristocrats. It is completely untrue that its racism, totalitarianism and violence was unknown in 1933-4. They knew what they were doing.
Happily fascism was defeated. The royal family is of course only the tip of the iceberg of whitewashed fascist support – without even starting on industrialists, newspaper proprietors, the Kennedys, etc. etc. But the Buckingham Palace option of outrage that anybody should ever remember is very sad – still more sad that such a position gets such popular support.
We never did get round to shooting the aristocrats.
I am an optimist in politics. My experience of life has taught me that altruism is a far stronger human urge than selfishness. Modern political fashion is based on the denigration of the urge to cooperation, and I do not believe will survive.
Which leads me to believe we are now living in an embarrassing past. Future generations will look back at the massive and exponentially expanding gap between rich and poor, at the super state security services and near total surveillance, at the violent wars waged in ill-disguised annexation of resources, and be amazed that people could support it. I also think that enormous shame will attach to all those who support the excruciatingly slow genocide of the Palestinians. That will be part of our embarrassing past.
So if we’re taking Fred at his word, when can we expect the Scottish Panzer divisions to come pouring down from their boarders? Are Scottish V2s likely to hit Wales, or do they regard us as their Austria?
By the way…

This news is mentioned in a comment to this new The Intercept piece (the comment also has a good piece of advice for the SNP): U.K. POLICE CONFIRM ONGOING CRIMINAL PROBE OF SNOWDEN LEAK JOURNALISTS. Here’s the comment:
If anti-austerity Jeremy, who certainly isn’t a Tory, gets elected, then where does that leave the SNP?
I’m now seeing Corbyn as a threat to Scottish independence and wish I hadn’t voted for him.

“In your opinion, how deep was Thatcher’s involvement with paedophilia? Was she ‘just’ a facilitator, covering it up while allowing it to continue, or was she also a perpetrator?”
What a bizarre question Node. There I was waiting for a reply about Jeremy Corbyn and his chances as leader, and you throw up this thing about Thatcher being a paedo?!!
Are you alright Node?

It then becomes clear that indeed Syria and what’s going on in neighbouring regions is a serious situation for us all, wherever we are. And perhaps we should be more engaged and helping turn the tide…. just don’t quite know how?

Thanks for the link. I just paid £3 for my vote. Which will be for Jeremy.
I do not usually vote because no party gets near to representing my views. And I have lost all the faith that I had in so called “representative democracy”.
But somebody needs to oppose this relentless neoliberal globalist elitist hegemony. I don’t care if he is electable in 2015. I just want a national politician to start opposing these psychopaths for once. And Jeremy is the best bet by far.

Thatcher’s private secretary was a well-known paedo, during the time he was Thatcher’s private secretary.
Thatcher’s home secretary was a well-known paedo, during the time he was Thatcher’s home secretary.
Thatcher’s great friend Jimmy Savile was a well-known paedo, during the time he was Thatcher’s great friend (they later gave Savile the keys to Broadmoor, for godsake).
Sir Peter Morrison, Leon Brittan and Savile were all under investigation at the time by the police and security services; talking of which, the then head of MI5 and the then deputy head of MI6 were recently revealed to have been paedos.
These are just some of the names that only fools would believe that Thatcher didn’t know about.
Nose to the grind-stone Pete Fairhurst – splendid!
Anon1 “What a bizarre question Node. “
It’s not a difficult one so indulge me. You’re not usually shy about sharing your opinion, and it’s an area of legitimate speculation.
We know that paedophilia is rife at the highest levels of government in both the UK and US. Thatcher inherited her job from Haut de la Garenne suspect Ted Heath.
Her closest political circle was full of confirmed paedophiles – her home secretary, her private secretary and another as yet unnamed cabinet minister, as well as one of her top diplomats and other lesser Tories. She protected them from prosecution, covered up their crimes, allowed them to continue in their jobs, and to carry on abusing children.
In her private life, she was close friends with mass paedophile Jimmy Savile although it is inconceivable that she wasn’t aware of his perverted life style.
So it’s fair to ask, was she a paedophile too?
For those interested, I recommend Peter Hitchens’s latest scribblings on the subject of royal National Socialist salutes from a long forgotten era. The more I read of him the more impressed I am by his non-conformity.
The United Nations Human Rights Committee has criticised Police Scotland for their stop and search policy.
“In Strathclyde there were more searches of 16-year-olds in 2010 than there were 16-year-olds living there, at a rate of 1,406 searches per 1,000 people.”

Is a fucking child rapist not as in statutory rape but as in forcing sex upon a fourteen year old boy whom ran away from his ordeal in London! The raped a fourteen years old boy’s father post a doctors diagnosis of rape made a complaint to the police. The result of which was two men turning up at his door after two years and telling him that; “the rapist had been convicted of other offenses and was in prison and there was no need to put his son through the ordeal of a trial”!
This is the kind of “maruta” the filthy despicable zionists have a hold of, and the kind of vassal whom will go to any length to save its’ own hide.

Embarrassing To Who??
Not to honest men and women who have the courage to tell the truth regardless of the consequences…like Craig Murray…
So now whilst I have buttered you up are you going to delete this?? Can’t keep up lads?
I will edit for you..just spell the swear words correctly (is that why I keep being deleted??)
wtf’s wrong with you soft southern softies?
Strangely enough I used to know one of The British Transport Police before the event. He used to reguarly drink down my local.
Now, one thing that most people do not realise is that how these things are organised. Its the compartmentalisation of the fine detail. Only the organisers at the top know the full story..Its like a pyramid..but once you go down a few levels…the people -like the police and the emergency services (those not allowed in to the controlled event…but end up there anyway..cos they care..They are just doing their jobs as honestly as they can..They ain’t got a clue what the fck is going on and just assume it is all real…then they see stuff..that they know is fake…but can’t prove it – and if they try and fight against the system..You must be jokin’ mate…do you really want to lose your job…and very much worse..we know you have a wife and kids…more than your job’s worth mate…You ain’t got the balls mate..You Love Your Wife and Kids Too Much.
That is What has happened to Our World..

“Before the Acts of Union, Scotlands population wad around 25% of Englands. It is now around 9%.”
Still room for improvement then.
Fedup. Yes, beyond doubt she was an enabler and facilitator. How many children did she condemn to abuse, rape, and even murder?
Node – no I don’t think Fatch was a paedo. Shame she couldn’t stick around for you to make that accusation during her lifetime.
“The she devil may she rest in her own private suit in hell with her own attendant devils shoving sharp pitchforks up her nether regions for eternity.”
^some of the weird fantasies of the loser left. Couldn’t beat her in her lifetime so rejoice in her death.
Anon1 : “Node – no I don’t think Fatch was a paedo. Shame she couldn’t stick around for you to make that accusation during her lifetime.”
Shame she couldn’t stick around to be tried for aiding and abetting paedophilia and possible murder.
What I have accused her of isn’t in doubt. The evidence is in the National Archives. My speculations are quite reasonable.
You say you don’t think she was a paedo. OK, but will you condemn her for protecting paedophiles and allowing them to continue offending?
Speaking of embarrassing pasts….

Obama is attending the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Nairobi on his visit to Kenya.
‘President Obama elevated entrepreneurship to the forefront of the United States’ engagement agenda during a historic speech in Cairo in 2009. Since 2010, when the U.S. hosted the first Summit in Washington, D.C., GES has expanded to a global event, subsequently hosted by the governments of Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Morocco. The 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, on July 25-26. It will be the sixth annual gathering of entrepreneurs at all stages of business development, business leaders, mentors, and high-level government officials. The established tradition demonstrates the U.S. Government’s continued commitment to fostering entrepreneurship around the world.’

Interesting that Mr Gilberthorpe and the bodyguard waited until after Thatcher had died to claim that they had told her all about the paedophilia.
This jumped up little twerp ran up a bill of £158 for a limo to the witch’s funeral.
What’s wrong with the tube or a bus or even shank’s pony although I suppose his little legs would have a job doing the 1.8 miles from Westminster to St Paul’s.
‘His car to Lady Thatcher’s funeral at St Paul’s Cathedral, 1.8 miles from the Commons, cost £158, while he used an official car to travel to Canterbury to see Archbishop Justin Welby enthroned in 2013 at a cost of £524.’

http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2015/07/24/fiat-chrysler-recalls-14m-vehicles-to-prevent-hacking
Fiat Chrysler says it knows of no incidents involving hacking of its vehicles except for the one unveiled this week. Initially the company didn’t issue a recall, but said it would contact all affected customers about a software update.
The fix is a response to a recent article in Wired magazine about two well-known hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, who remotely took control of a Jeep Cherokee through its UConnect entertainment system. They were able to change the vehicle’s speed and control the brakes, radio, windshield wipers, transmission and other features.
The design conference for this masterpiece went as follows.
Management intern: Hey, guys, suppose we made the new SUV controllable over the Internet!
Omnes: Wow. We got the edge on the competition there. Think of the apps. I got the strap for the ad already…make that guy President…etc.
Oh, and that software update. Will the vehicle gome to a grinding halt in the middle of the freeway while it downloads and installs it? Hope so.
Anon1 “Interesting that Mr Gilberthorpe and the bodyguard waited until after Thatcher had died to claim that they had told her all about the paedophilia.”
Interesting that you focus on those two links but don’t mention the 37-page file from the National Archives which corroborates their statements. Very interesting.
On a personal note, I want to thank you, Anon1, for giving me the opportunity to spell out the incontrovertible evidence of Thatcher’s complicity in paedophilia. You are helping to expose the truth about this vile woman.
Nor does my bete noir escape the suggestion of cover-up:

Munchkins are singing the death of a witch.
The coffin is placed in a greenback balloon,
drifting away across avarice and kitsch.
A young girl from Essex who’s flaky and rich,
cobalt blue slippers, her heels click together:
“there’s no place like Grantham” (adios bitch)
“there’s no place like Grantham” (tough as old leather).
Newton’s now turning, the wizard thinks clever:
Dave blabs like a baby, the spells make us wonder
about the protesters, we do not know whether
a messiah’s arrived or it’s some kind of plunder,
to join gipper Ron in the temple of cash –
rainbows dissolving, wet mirages crash.

The gobsmacking thing is that Maggie and Ronnie spawned a quasi-religious cult that continues to this day, a cult that has completely trashed the world economy and has ruined the lives of millions, yet the corporate controlled media are still able to bamboozle a large number of people into believing that neoliberalism is wonderful.
But by no means the majority.
By a quirk of history (ie, the Labour party changing the voting procedure for the leadership) we are about to see another seismic shift in UK politics.
The SNP were the opening act.
