Recently an Angus mother of three infant children was separated from them and jailed for ten months for over-claiming £10,000 per year in benefits. Meanwhile the Duke of Westminster evades £3.6 billion in inheritance tax through a transparently fraudulent use of trusts which “have the option” to give the money to someone else instead.
The United Kingdom is a socially backward and sometimes vicious polity, an island which prides itself on the state enforced conservatism which allowed it to evade intellectually motivated reform and retain a historical legacy of gross injustice and privilege.
For historical reasons land reform is an immensely popular cause in Scotland, and one of so many areas where SNP timidity is a deep, deep disappointment. The fact that they are covered in buildings does not make the vast London estates of the Grosvenors any more acceptable than the unnecessarily empty Highland estates where golden eagles are destroyed so the chinless wonders, hedge fund managers and sheikhs can blast away at tame grouse.
The late Duke of Westminster is characterised as a “philanthropist” by mainstream media even though the percentage of both his income and his wealth he gave to charity was less than most ordinary people’s mite, myself included, and I am willing to bet that what he did do, was tax-deductible. That a parasite who sat on £9 billion of unearned money in a country where disabled people commit suicide from poverty, and who got two O levels from Harrow, was Prince Charles’ closest friend, cuts through the lying propaganda about the Royal family we are constantly fed.
The political class have a deliberate will not to enforce inheritance tax on the super wealthy. They have a political will not to tackle landlordism, which as it affects both residential and commercial tenants is a fundamental malaise of the British economy. Neither problem is technically difficult. The problem is that the political class as a whole are in the pockets of the super-wealthy, promote their interests and ache to join them.
Which is why in the UK it is important that the threat to them posed by Corbyn is maintained, and why in Scotland it is essential that the SNP membership now push their own leadership into bold action on fundamental land reform and Independence. To call the current SNP approach to both issues desultory would be excessively polite.

‘…Tension has grown this summer between local communities and Muslims of North African origin in the south of France, especially following the massacre of 85 people by a lorry driver on the seafront at Nice on 14 July…. ”
Er, don’t you mean ‘alleged’ massacre? Wonder why the French government ordered the Nice authorities to erase ALL CCTV footage of the event? Maybe you believe their explanation, that they didn’t want footage to get into the wrong hands?
Luckily, the Nice authorities refused. Pity they don’t publish them – but then they might have ’embarrassed’ the government, by exposing the hoax (if that is what it was).
An addendum to the stuff in Nice…

Much like what happened at JFK Airport, also yesterday.

Since I and others were banging on about propaganda on the previous page, I should say that I found this piece in today’s Guardian interesting because of the reader’s comments…
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/15/brunhilde-pomsel-nazi-joseph-goebbels-propaganda-machine
Many commentators are incredulous that Frau Pomsel did not know what was going on in Nazi Germany, even though she worked at a high level in Goebbels’ propaganda ministry. Well, these commentators in the early 21st century are living through an even worse era, an era that’s butchered far more people than the Nazis ever did, and these commentators are far more propagandised than the Germans in the last century, which is why they are unable to see what is blatantly in front of their eyes.
The United Kingdom can’t be so dysfunctional
for it to be second in the medals, more than twice as far in front as any other E.U. state.
We must be doing some things correctly, Craig?
Now Turkey is “quite” dysfunctional.
they have just one medal,
so they must be doing “some” things WRONG
“Dysfunction”
Labour said “turf wars” were an inevitable consequence of Brexit policy being split between various departments.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry said Islamaphobic Theresa May “created these three separate departments not because it made sense in terms of coordinating Whitehall’s management of Brexit,
but just to buy the loyalty of Liam Fox, Boris Johnson and David Davis”.
She added: “Now we see the inevitable dysfunction and turf wars, as they fight between them to grab work that should have been co-ordinated out of the Foreign Office alone.
“It is high time that the Tories stopped fighting amongst themselves, started thinking about the good of the country, and focused on clearing up the mess that they have created.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37082402
Well, Emily I don’t like white vans or the people who use them for their common work Thornbury, seems to agree with Craig.
Oh so now winning medals equates to a less dysfunctional nation? If that were the case in the real world, in Olympic games gone by China, Russia and America, must’ve been absolute utopia’s.
What next? Winning the world Tiddlywinks championship or the world Marbles championship, will see the dis-United Kingdom become the promised land.
Michael have you been drinking? Or worse still listening to Habb?
I noticed the conkers are ripening nicely, so maybe we can win some conker championships?
I recall when East Germany used to get a lot of gold medals, ditto USSR. There’s more than one form of dysfunction.

Is your objection because he’s seeing the Clintons at all or because he’s seeing the Clintons on his first foreign trip?
A clear answer might help readers evaluate the degree of shamefulness involved.
Thanks.
I thought we were suppose to believe on this blog that Clinton is the personification of evil
but Muslim Labour politicians were the personification of goodness?
So unless Sadiq is going over there to bad mouth her or worse
what can he be thinking?
Currying favours is on the menu, haha!
“but Muslim Labour politicians were the personification of goodness?”

Not forgetting the state of Israel, well according to some in here anyway.
He may have it in mind to take the place of Corbyn as head of the Labour Party with the help of President Hillary.
No, he has no shame, otherwise he would not be a Blairite.
Since you appear to be a franchise, maybe you can comment on the UKIP leadership election? which some call a donkey derby.
And let’s not forget Nige’s new moustache; the same neo-con Nige (who wants to privatise the NHS, and everything else) who won a massive victory with the Brexit vote, but then promptly resigned, knowing full well that Brexit will never happen.

A US Navy sailor facing prison time over photos he took with his cellphone inside a nuclear attack submarine is pointing to the case of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to ask for probation instead.
US Elections 2016 Clinton
Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier, 29, will be sentenced this week in federal court, having pleaded guilty in May to “unlawful retention of national defense information,” a charge leveled against him under the 1917 Espionage Act, according to Politico.
A 10-year Navy veteran and machinist aboard the USS Alexandria, Saucier was charged after his cellphone – with several photos taken inside the nuclear attack submarine – was found in the trash in March 2012. Upon learning he was under investigation, Saucier destroyed a laptop, camera and memory card, leading to additional charges of obstruction of justice.
Russia Today
President Jimmy Carter, for all his faults, was a navy man and in his earlier career worked in the US nuclear submarine fleet. Carter was the only US president to date who had some understanding of nuclear power. Hence, when the Three Mile Island nuclear plant started to meltdown in 1979, Carter was a major influence in preventing a mega disaster. He actually went to Three Mile Island at the height of the accident, when radiation levels were through the roof, and made a broadcast to the nation. Carter was instrumental in making the plant operaters stay on site and get things back under control.
Needless to say that Jimmy Carter died of cancer (although he reached a grand old age), as did just about everyone else who was at the Three Mile Island plant in 1979.
Fairly sure he is still selling peanuts
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter#Funeral_and_burial_plans
Jimmy Carter has had to undergo cancer treatments, but he ain’t dead yet, at the age of 91, and his liver cancer appears to be in remission at the moment. He was well enough to attend a conference in Annapolis a few days before the Democratic National Convention. That he was not invited to that convention is presumably the doing of warmonger, neocon fellow traveler, and Israel supporter Hillary.
My bad, Lysias. Thanks for confirming that ex-president Carter is still alive (and good on him).
What with Carter’s sane views on the world, his great age and his very bad health, I just assumed that the political establishment would kick his death under the carpet.
When Jimmy does drop off the perch I wonder how much revisionism there’ll be of his views and what he stood for?
In our present right wing lunatic asylum, Jimmy Carter would be seen as a left wing Trot.
Did not some things occur on Jimmy Carter’s watch that caused great disquiet at the time (and since) to people of your world view?
But it is true that “sane views” is a flexible concept for some……
The real (but not terribly important question is: was former President Carter not invited or might it be the case that he was invited but declined to go for political and/or personal/health reasons?
I wonder if Lysias could shed any light on this?
” Both major political parties in the UK, at least in recent decades, have gone into the wild after losing power, and have only returned to power when they have tacked back to the centre…”
So when was this ever true?
It wasn’t true of the Tories who replaced Heath with Thatcher. Or of Labour who replaced, through Foot, Callaghan with Kinnock. There was no ‘wildness’ there, just a steady drift towards the neo-liberal consensus.
Are you arguing that Miliband was a wild man? Or even much to the left of Cameron?
Generalisations of your kind are silly: politics is both more complex and less complex than you suggest. It is more complex because changes in ideology or theory come about for a variety of reasons. And less complex because socio-economic developments over the long term make old policy positions obsolete. Brown’s “No more Boom and Bust”, trust Providence and the marketplace, ideas had no sooner been promulgated than they became evidently ludicrous.
The same can be said of the Blairite boasts of imperial triumph (Blunkett’s prophecy that all would turn out well in Iraq and that there would be a Baghdad Bounce in Labour’s electoral fortunes, as voters rewarded the government for its shrewdness in joining with Bush in war, is one of my favourites). It is now evident that centrist Foreign and Economic policies were fatal not just to Blair but to, his Tory clone, Cameron.
A new era is beginning and many changes will be required, new thinking, not automatic repetition of the old, will be needed.
What is important about Corbyn is not his policies, which are pretty standard social democracy, far to the right of Bevan or even Benn, but the democratic uprising which, thanks to the stupidity of the Blairites, is taking place. The best thing the Labour right wing could have done would have been to surround Corbyn with their conditional support, forcing him to compromise and pushing him to the right. Instead, being as vain and venal as the founders of New Labour, they bit off more than they could chew. In the process they awoke a sleeping giant. If Corbyn wins not only will membership shoot up again towards a million, thus making the professional spin doctors and the billionaires (who constitute 90% of Blairism) redundant, but real democracy will reign in the CLPs and the national party for the first time.
The right wing must already be regretting the day that it took away the block vote power of the Unions, which had been the anchor dragging Labour towards the right throughout the party’s history.

My vote for British dysfunctionality in the UK goes to the Surrey Police who c;laim they have no basis for investigating the murders of the al-Hillis who were killed around Lake Annecy in France while on holiday from Claygate where they resided.
They don’t! It’s up to the Gendarme to investigate murders in France, no matter where the victims resided.
Why should that mean British police are excluded from investigating the crime?
They are not excluded if they choose to face reality, but in this case they prefer to ignore it, as the Contact Management of the Surrey Police made quite clear to me in their email.
The incident, according to it, appears to have occurred in France, and was apparently committed by a male who lived in the USA. “…therefore it is unclear what the connection to the Surrey Police is. Due to this the Surrey Police could not be taking any further action at this time.”
The Surrey Police have simply overlooked what happened to the poor al-Hillis of Claygate, Surrey which even the Surrey Coroner Richard Travers has ruled homicides.
Moreover, the Surrey Police simply consider the case closed, even leaving out the subsequent murders, especially the two back in Israel.

Sick bags ready…? ”Why I despise Jeremy Corbyn and his Nazi stormtroopers’, by Jewish Labour donor MICHAEL FOSTER’:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3739516/Why-despise-Jeremy-Corbyn-Nazi-stormtroopers-Jewish-Labour-donor-MICHAEL-FOSTER.html
‘..A brand of politics alien to this country, defined and delivered by a divisive, aggressive holier-than-thou cadre of hard-Left socialists with no real policies to speak of, no defined social and economic objectives, just a call for the committed to take this journey with them down the Yellow Brick Road.
In the midst of this, something is rotten. You are either with them, or you are labelled as being against them and so excluded, briefed against, often threatened and intimidated.
If you are like me, a Jewish donor to Labour, you are smeared as a Blairite conspirator, plotting to falsely use the accusation of anti-Semitism to damage the Left.
It matters not whether you are Angela Eagle with a brick through a window, Stella Creasy with a mob outside her constituency office, or Labour general secretary Iain McNicol with a letter threatening court action unless he secured victory for Corbyn at an NEC vote.
Corbyn and his leadership team have no respect for others and worse, no respect for the rule of law.
They clearly have no moral compass, and in Corbyn they have a leader who wants to abolish the House of Lords yet is happy to confer and defend the granting of a peerage on Shami Chakrabarti, whose detailed report into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party was anything but independent……’
‘….It is why I, as a lifelong Labour supporter, funder and former parliamentary candidate, last month took Jeremy Corbyn to court to have the law decide whether the leader of the party could self-nominate for leader.
To me, respect for the rule of law is fundamental to a democracy. Once political parties believe they are above the law it ends with all opposition silenced, whether it is my grandparents in Dachau, or the Left in Erdogan’s Turkey rounded up and held uncharged in prison.
The courts decided that the rules as they stand allowed it. This decision advantaged Corbyn and his Sturm Abteilung (stormtroopers), but on Friday afternoon the Appeal Court handed down a big decision for British democracy.
It disallowed the attempt by arriviste followers of Corbyn to flood the Labour electoral college. This caused the mask of reasonableness of the Corbynista leadership to slip even further.
Suddenly the most holy of holies, the NEC, was labelled a shoddy organisation capable of using a ‘grubby little device’. Cross this lot and you are straight into the firing line.
Corbyn no longer has a clear path in his bid to destroy the Labour Party as we have known it in Government and in Opposition for the past 70 years.
Rather than start a party of the Left, he wishes to steal for the Left the respectable cloak of the Labour Party brand…’
‘…Oppose them as a Jewish donor and the riposte from Seumas Milne, Corbyn’s mouthpiece, is that you are part of a Blairite, Right-wing ‘conspiracy’ (the ancient racist rhetoric is that Jews don’t act alone, the malevolent Jew always conspires) to destabilise the democratically and legitimately elected leader….’
And for good measure, they even have a picture of Hitler:
‘Adolf Hitler and his SA troops, known as ‘Brown shirts’, in Munich, November 9, 1935′
Further to above, here’s how the Jerusalem Post reports it, with a picture of Jeremy making a gesture of acceptance of support, but with the obvious intention of likening it to a Nazi salute:

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Pro forma letter of complaint to Validation department and Iain McNicol regarding Michael Foster. Please feel free to use with your own name, CLP and membership number. Please mail to [email protected] with title:
Urgent. Report of abusive media behaviour by member Michael Foster. For the attention of the validation team and Iain McNicol.
Good morning,
Report of abusive behaviour – Mr Michael Foster, article in the Mail on Sunday, 14th August 2016
I would like to call your attention to this recent article by a member of the Labour Party. I append a link below.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…/Why-despise-Jeremy-Corbyn-Nazi…
Please can I remind you of the statement issued by LabourPress dated 25th July 2016, written by Iain McNicol, the General Secretary of the Labour Party, which included the following:
“…for a fair debate to take place, people must be able to air their views in an atmosphere of respect. They shouldn’t be shouted down, they shouldn’t be intimidated and they shouldn’t be abused, either in meetings or online.”
“…words of condemnation are meaningless unless they are backed up by action.”
“…if you are a member and you engage in abusive behaviour towards other members it will be investigated and you could be suspended while that investigation is carried out.”
The following phrases make absolutely clear Michael Foster’s intention to refer to supporters of Jeremy Corbyn as an all-inclusive whole: “Corbyn Circus”; “disciples”; “evangelical crowd”; “mob”; “wave after wave”; “Corbynistas”; “arriviste followers”; “flood”. He also makes clear his distinction between supporters of Jeremy Corbyn’s approach and “sensible Labour members” and “right minded middle class and working class people”.
I am a member of the Labour party and a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn and his policies and approach.
I have been called a supporter of Nazis. I have been called a supporter of Sturm Abteilung. I have been called democratically damaging. I have been called a supporter of bullies and arm-twisters of the extreme Left. Worst of all, I have been accused of encouraging people who use anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to damage political opponents.
This Labour member has permitted a photograph of Adolf Hitler and his immediate supporters to appear in an article under his name as an exemplar of the politics which I support. He is therefore figuratively calling me the equivalent of a Hitler worshipper.
As a member of the Labour Party I demand the immediate suspension of Michael Foster. His breach of Iain McNicol’s guidelines could not be clearer or more egregious. My expectation is that he will be investigated forthwith, and that if he is found to have expressed these vile, indescribably offensive sentiments about other members of the Labour Party, that he will be expelled.
Please may I have an acknowledgement of this communication without delay, so that I am assured that urgent action is being taken on this matter.
Many thanks and kind regards.

Owen Smith: Jeremy Corbyn is exploiting my former “work” in pharmaceuticals
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/15/owen-smith-corbyn-career-pharmaceutical-industry-labour-leadership
Labour leadership hopeful Owen Smith has accused Jeremy Corbyn of using his previous career as a lobbyist for the pharmaceuticals industry as “a stick with which to beat me”.
A stick? He should be using a cat-‘o-nine-tails!
The use of the cat o’ nine tails in the English penal system was abolished in the late 1940s or early 1950s and followed by the abolition of birching a few years later.
To the great regret of “retired Colonel, Surrey” at the time and perhaps to the regret of some even now.
What about those ladies, often visited by certain classes, who still use them? Wasn’t it “The Minister for Fun” who got into trouble for that?
What about them, Alan?

The UK benefits system is a wages control policy pure and simple. It became politically incorrect under Snatcher to limit pay. OK to remove employment altogether and export it to the Far east; thus to force people to become self-employed and enjoy boss autonomy or return to cap-doffing Victorian serfdom on a minimum wage which is too low to live on, eked out by working tax credit.
This is the prime example of what Craig calls ” state enforced conservatism which allowed it to evade intellectually motivated reform and retain a historical legacy of gross injustice and privilege”.
Craig uses the example of access to land, but the UK is creaking with examples of unequal laws, meted and doled to its savage race by atavistic conservatism. I don’t know which is worser, the Tory bribe to pollute our beautiful water with fracking, YOU WILL EAT SHEEPS BRAINS or the Owen Smith hypocrisy of the Blairites which want to privatise the NHS under the false slogan of a Valleys twang.
Surely the baaaing of Neil Kinnock was enough brainfart for one generation.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it is illegal in the UK to hack into someone else’s computer or mobile phone. It is illegal to support terrorism. It is illegal for a company, institution, political party, spouse or any other institution to force its member into compliance and submission to the institutional authority’s opinions.
A company employing me, under UK law can check my private emails and private internet use in order to evaluate my suitability to continue being employed by them. Wow, atavistic conservative cap-doffing neo-con slavery rules OK in the UK. But they can’t force me not to do the things I do in my private time. Radio 4 this week has been having a binge of whingeing about young men looking at porn.
The fucking state created the internet, then created the porn, then created the infrastructure to broadcast it into your home. It then blames the individual for pressing the buttons, same as it blames individuals who drink when it is the government that licences , taxes and legitimises the alcohol industry, the right to destroy your body with poison. Apologies to Douners. my complaint is against the utter hypocrisy of the UK establishment that produces state broadcaster programmes which condemn the use of government licenced vices.
It is utterly intellectually dishonest for the state to create a technology like hacking into a private computer or mobile, to use it itself for its own purposes, to licence those who scratch its private parts also to use it independently from government, such as companies, political parties or religious institutions, but then condemn private individuals for voyeuring with the same technology they have created to spy on and licence others to spy on all the citizens of the world.
spying is absolutely and specifically forbidden in Islam. and yet the big terror organisations like the muslim brotherhood which has created Al Qaida and Daesh in Syria continue to use it in order to target their political opposition. If Saudi Arabia is allowed to target Shi’a citizens with a completely illegal technology in what sense do they have any moral superiority over the Shi’a they are trying to control?
When will government realise the truth that spying is in itself a caustically destructive activity. The human being, the animal, the ant even, will stop and check whether it is being observed by a predator. We have an in-built, natural and God-given resistance to predators. if government wants to eat us we will challenge it with our little ant’s fist. whatever control the state or mosque or company is trying to exercise over us, WE WILL ALWAYS RESIST the predator. We will not be told what to think by any authority that is not itself governed by the same laws that they are trying to impose on us.
We must be governed by germs or viruses without brains. Humanoid trolls that don’t have brains.
Spying is quite simply the world’s second oldest profession(•), there are rather a lot of secret squirrels around. Some of them are quite good at their job, given their unlimited budgets you’d hope so!
Hacking a computer in/from the UK is perfectly legal if you have the right job. . .although the way PCs/OSs are designed nowadays doesn’t need a ‘hacker’ just the backdoor to be found
(Someone just ‘hacked’ nearly all car keys for example https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity16/sec16_paper_garcia.pdf)
As for porn, is it still mostly produced in USA? Perhaps a future king of there could decree that it be stopped at source – BBC/porn it’s just the establishment complaining because they aren’t making enough money from freedom of access to aspects related to the world’s oldest profession!

I have been doing a lot of country walks and off-road cycling this summer,
greatly enjoying the stunning weather in Southern England, massive figs on the trees, looks like best year ever for walnuts, years ago they very rarely came to fruition, flowers and leaves, actually seem to be larger this year.
I have always been a global warming unbeliever but the weather in Britain does seem to be getting better.

Russia’s long-range Tu-22M3 bombers have delivered their first airstrikes on terrorist targets in Syria operating from Iranian airbase. Moscow and Tehran signed a military agreement allowing Russian aircraft to station at Hamadan Airport in western Iran.
The long range bombers with full bomb payload took off from Hamadan Airfield to attack Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) and Al-Nusra Front facilities in Aleppo, Deir-ez-Zor and Idlib provinces.

Might upset a ‘certain Middle East country’ as well, and various others, like Saudi Arabia.
That certain middle eastern pile of shit used the recent Syrian ceasefire to re-arm its terror al queenidas with new US kit.
hence , like the Yemenis, the Syrians of Aleppo have been subjected to a much-covered and glorified terror purge.
Good to know that Russia has started flying in earnest again a month late.
St Theresa did good annoying the Chinese. The Cameron/Osborne Laurel/Hardy plan was for one very expensive reactor in exchange for china not working against UK interests i.e. state colonial terror in Syria etc for ever Amen.
Pity she got her lines mixed. I don’t trust USUKIS would have been a more accurate analysis of the deal that I don’t trust China.
I’m all for the UK tossers-tories upsetting the Chinese, because now the Chinese are going to help the russians to hit the soft underbelly of neo-con expansion of greater Israel in the middle East.

Scottish football team Celtic are due to meet the Israeli football team Hapoel Beer Sheva, tomorrow night at Parkhead football stadium in Glasgow.
However disgruntled fans of Celtic, are said to fed up being told not to wave Palestinian flags at the game, or both fans and club could face fiscal penalties.
However many fans of the 60,000 seat stadium, are in defiance and have sworn to fly the Palestinian flag, on the grounds that Israel is an apartheid state. Many Celtic fans are also wondering, if they should even be playing a football team from an Apartheid state.
Indeed they’re may even be noises to boycott the game, in a similar fashion, to the boycotting of South Africa, when it was deemed an apartheid state.
One has to applaud the Celtic fans for at the very least considering a boycott, on playing a team who’s stadium may be built on stolen lands.

Fox, Gould, Werritty and Israel – Please write to your MP – – Answer
Dear Mark Golding,
Thank you for your recent email regarding the Report by the Cabinet Secretary carried out in 2011.
Personally, I do not have this information. My best suggestion is to write to Lord O’Donnell. I can send this to him if you would like me to.
Kind regards,
Iain
Iain Stewart MP
Member of Parliament for Milton Keynes South
Parliamentary Private Secretary to Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox MP, Secretary of State for International Trade
HOUSE OF COMMONS
LONDON SW1A 0AA
Tel: 01908 686830
Hurray, you have a reply, Mark, albeit a lukewarm pile of phlegm, I had nothing but a ‘thanks for your letter be rest assured we are dealing with it in good time’ sort of response.
Liam Fox is already straining at the leash, the moment the PM turns her back, I’m waiting to see him and Bojo go into a clinch in front of the House.
Sounds reasonable enough to me, Golding.
The O’Donnell report, so why not write to its author rather than bothering your MP, who surely has far more important real-life constituency cases with which to assist rather than waste his valuable and limited time on dealing with political stunts like this one?
Because his MP, like mine, is supposed to be our representative in The House. Don’t you get this democracy thing Habba?
Now the French government is calling on the public to house asylum seekers as the centres are full to bursting point. Talk about a chicken asking a fox to come and stay.
Nine asylum seekers arrested over gang-rape of German woman:

Asylum seeker who Bristol people helped to stay in UK sexually assaulted woman in the city

And yesterday the Times revealed that at least one third of asylum seekers are bogus. I’d say it’s a lot more than a third.
Anon1.
Your comment is all very well and fine, but just why are refugees and asylum seekers flooding Europe?
I think you know fine well why, the crisis in Europe could’ve been avoided if Western nations hadn’t swanned-off into the Middle East, and North Africa, causing havoc and mayhem.
We caused the influx of false or real refugees into Europe, we gave Israel and Saudi Arabia a free hand to in those regions as well.
When I say we, I mean the corporate industrialists who ravage assets and charge extortionate amounts of capital to rebuild the infrastructure of the target nations using imported machinary and labour.
Our governments back those vile men because many are powerful party donors to the cause, others use pay-offs held in offshore accounts, done through multiple shell companies.
You Anon1 are part of that problem, because like Habb, you support the system which has seen Europe flooded with refugees. You demonise those people who are fleeing countries torn apart by regime changes initiated by Western nations and backed by the Saudi’s and Israeli’s.
You have the cheek to condemn them, when it’s our actions that have driven them in to the arms of Europe.
Don’t forget to mention the part played by TURKEY
Turkey requests return of 8 officers who fled to Greece
Turkey’s state-run news agency says officials have made a formal request to Greece for the extradition of eight Turkish officers who fled to the neighboring country after last month’s attempted coup. Anadolu Agency said Tuesday a Justice Ministry file for the officers’ return has been delivered to Greece. The six pilots and two engineers fled to Greece in a military helicopter, and Turkey wants them returned to stand trial for participating in the attempt. The eight deny involvement and have applied for asylum, saying they fear for their safety amid widespread purges. (AP)
R.T.
That is now tens of thousands who have been rounded up,
this is truly a dysfunctional state.
Well said RoS!
At least a third of them are lying. Many are claiming to be Syrian when they are not. They leave their wives and children at home. The majority of them are economic migrants. Many are jihadists, many are rapists who experience “sexual emergency” when they see a European woman.
In any case we are not responsible for the violence in Syria. That is your head-chopping Muslim fanatics. And it’s a bit of a stretch to say bogus asylum seekers are gang-raping women in Austria because of the Iraq war.
Tell them we’re full, no more room at the Inn, no lifetime of benefits, the streets arent paved with gold, the women arent all available, and start turning them back. Stop the madness of an open invitation to the Muslim world to come and settle here and the ‘crisis’ ends tomorrow.
“In any case we are not responsible for the violence in Syria.”
___________
Huh?
Self denial is an ugly trait, any fool can see that the uprising in Syria is backed by the West, Saudi Arabia, Israeli,and as Michael said Turkey, it’s more than likely funded through the BIS.
Did you read that on PressTV or Global Research?
Actually I didn’t, but if you have link to it I’d be more than pleased, to read it.
“And it’s a bit of a stretch to say bogus asylum seekers are gang-raping women in Austria because of the Iraq war.”
______________
Those asylum seekers wouldn’t be in Austria, if we hadn’t armed and funded brutal proxy armies in Iraq, Syria Libya etc. Of course I’ll use the offical name for the brutal murderous proxy factions we fund, which is “moderate fighters.”
As for those that come to Europe, I’d imagine it would be a cultural shock to them, not knowing the proper decorum or etiquette that runs through different European nations. Those that do seriously offend rape assault etc should be deported back to their nations of origin.
We could delve into the machinations of some EU governments, who have deliberately tried to portray refugees in a bad light, in order to strengthen domestic laws, and impinge free speech, but, I won’t go down that road.
This really is racist nonsense. It turns immediately to your silly sexual fantasising and denies, what the world knows and is a centrepiece of US Foreign Policy: that the war in Syria has been sponsored and supported by the US and its allies (including the UK) since the beginning.
Nobody can be sincerely concerned about the plight of refugees or of the communities forced to host them while denying the scandalous reality that all are the victims of a long established and totally irresponsible foreign policy which was, from the first, designed to give rise to the Blowback of of which the refugee crisis is part.
The vast majority aren’t refugees. They have made their way through numerous safe countries in order to get to the richest ones. They are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS.
Of the others they are overwhelmingly young men of fighting age. Why do they abandon their families? Why are they not defending their families and homelands and standing with the dictator Assad Jr, who you keep telling us is loved and adored by the Syrian people? I certainly wouldn’t do a runner like that.
The idiot Merkel invited them to keep coming. Word got around fast and everyone pretends to be Syrian and a refugee. You have bearded men pretending to be children, sub-Saharan Africans claiming to be Syrian, fake passports easily available and everyone claiming to be a doctor or engineer. They all have smartphones and social media so they know absolutely how things are reported in the West, how weak and soft we have become and how the entire media and political class weeps for them with their “refugees welcome” signs. They know which buttons to push.
And when they get here they discover it’s all rather shit and not at all how their mates who already made it here told them it would be. They thought the women were all for the taking but the women aren’t interested in them. They thought they would be rich, but they found themselves at the bottom of the heap. And so they start to complain, and get angry. Some of them get radicalized.
But no, in Bevin’s world it’s all our fault. Our two obsolete Tornado aircraft bombing ISIS positions in Syria drove them here. Our involvement in Iraq caused the young man to butcher all those tourists on the beach in Tunisia. Driving a truck through a street party or slitting the throat of a Catholic priest whilst shrieking ‘Allahu Akbar’ is an understandable response to the alienation of young Muslim men in French society. Gunning down revellers in a rock concert is blowback. And all the endless Muslim violence in Islamic countries is all our fault, the suicide bombings, beheadings, violence against women, gays, non-muslims, etc.
Because it always, everywhere has to be our fault. That’s what this blog is all about. Ignore, deny, excuse or justify anything that gets in the way of the narrative. And if you can’t, just attach yourself to some deranged conspiracy theory.
Spot on, Anon!.
There is good reason for the authorities to know who these people are.
Too many foxes in sheep’s clothing? – Yes according to Mr Ross Clark in the Express and opinions in The Sun and the Daily Wail – According to Clark the largest contingent of refugees arrive from Syria, three quarters are desperate women and children [UNHCR] fleeing a Western PROXY war, dependent on aid and arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs.
The UK Border Agency has responded to a story published in the Sun newspaper today about bogus claims made by asylum seekers to enter Britain.
Border and Immigration Minister, Phil Woolas said:
‘Our border has never been stronger, as illustrated by the fall in asylum applications and the record numbers we are stopping at Calais.
‘We will continue to grant refuge to those that genuinely need it, in accordance with Britain’s proud traditions, however the latest statistics show that 79 per cent of asylum seekers did not qualify for international protection. We expect those people to return home. If they do not do so voluntarily, we will enforce their removal.’
The figures were part of the ONS immigration statistics published on Thursday 26 November.

Labour in trouble, again.
MP Simon Danczuk spends night in Spanish police cell after arrest
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-37094304
The LABOUR PARTY REFUSE TO COMMENT?
MP Simon Danczuk has been arrested in Spain following an alleged incident involving his estranged wife, the BBC understands.
It is understood the 49-year-old spent the night in a police cell in Alicante.
The Rochdale MP was suspended by the Labour Party in December after he admitted sending lewd texts to a 17-year-old girl.
The Foreign Office said it was providing support to a British man detained by police in Spain.
The Labour Party refused to comment.
When it says “The BBC understands”
would this be the same BBC who were colluding with the Yorkshire Police
to secret themselves outside the Berkshire home of Sir Cliff Richard ( while Cliff was abroad)
to talk about what “The BBC understands” Cliff Richard had been getting /not getting up to?
I understand it is the same BBC

Did you look through the round, square, or arched window today?
I have to come indoors as just been stung very close to my eye by a hornet, bloody painful, so just trying to relax for a bit,
not actually looking through any windows, other than the window into my screen.
A hornet venom is formic acid:
http://www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Wasp-or-Hornet-Sting
HTH and it soon goes down.
Sorry, it’s bees and ants that are formic acid. Wasps and hornets are alkaline:
https://www.care2.com/greenliving/how-to-treat-bee-wasp-and-hornet-stings.html
There seems to be some confusion out there. Bee venom is definitely a mix of proteins. Once it gets in, it’s probably a waste of time rubbing anything in to try and neutralise it. To confuse the matter further, here’s a handy chart wot I found : only ant venom contains formic acid according to this.
http://www.compoundchem.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/The-Chemical-Composition-of-Insect-Venoms-v2.png
Google twice, comment once.
Did you provoke the hornet in any way? This is not ‘taking the mickey’, I know that bees won’t sting you unless provoked.
Do you think he is badly hurt? He’s usually posted several articles in this time. Maybe it was a particularity venomous hornet in a particularly bad mood.

“Did not some things occur on Jimmy Carter’s watch that caused great disquiet at the time (and since) to people of your world view?”
……………………………………………………………………
What happened in Iran in 1979, under his watch, was as a result of what happened under Churchill’s and Dwight Eisenhower’s watch in 1953.
A popular, democratically elected Prime Minister was deposed by British intelligence and the CIA because he had the temerity to nationalise Iran’s oil.
Just one example of the Wests contempt for democracy.
Like all that North Sea oil and gas that was going to be nationalised under the Wilson government only to be quickly given away to the big oil companies. All those empty promises they made back then…
If a politician has his mouth open he/she is lying!
Carter famously started the covert funding collaboration with Islamic eejits . . . lead inexorably to BinLaden/AQ/Da’esh/IS and the ‘accidental’ strategy of tension around the world at present

Before I respond to that thought (how silly of me not to have thought of it myself! 🙂 ) could you just be a little more precise and tell us if you’re referring (“..what happened in Iran in 1979..”) to the taking of US embassy employees as hostages or to President Carter’s attempt to rescue them?
Thanks for a rapid reply.
Talking of disfunctional polities:
[Data from Feb. 2015: “The official poverty rate is 14.5%, meaning 45.3 million people in the US live in poverty, up by over 8 million since 2008. An additional 97.3 million (33%) of people living in the United States are low-income, defined as incomes below twice the federal poverty line, or $47,700 for a family of four. Taken together, this means that 48% of the US population is poor or low income, 1 in every 2 people. More than 1 in 5 children in America (21.8%) are living under the official poverty line. Half of all children will be on food stamps before they turn 20, including 9 out of 10 African American children. ]
That is 9 out of 10 African American children!!
And this is a website which deserves to be added to the usual suspects (Press TV, Global Research, RT, the BBC) to be sneered at: http://journal-neo.org/2016/08/16/obama-administration-the-faithful-accomplice-of-isis/
The dysfunctional and war propagandist British Broadcasting Company clearly outed by GG: Yes I know this clip is well passed sell-by date albeit truth has to remain within the event horizon and in this holographic universe the past is expected to govern the future when so much tragedy has our minds entangled with Syria, a country sadly recognised and obviously in chaos to those accessible sense and spirits whose essence and entity are coordinated and harmonised by waves rather than particles.

Of course they won’t feel the damage of Brexit, it will be the poor, the disabled and the taxpayer, who’ll suffer the greatest.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svRMbZeNn1U
Hey RoS, here is an old drinking buddy of mine to sing us a song 😉
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYULCxjIHM
‘Of course they won’t feel the damage of Brexit, it will be the poor, the disabled and the taxpayer, who’ll suffer the greatest.’
Don’t you agree that the EU is run by selected, unaccountable appointees of the PTB, and have anything but the good of the poor or workers as guidance?
We have precious little influence with our ‘Democracy’ now, but with the EU we will have none. MEP’s are overpaid, underworked figureheads, who can do nothing other than present views, which the Commission can completely ignore.
The EU is a massive jigsaw part of the NWO One World Gulag planned for yonks by the Banksters and Corporatists.
Apart from Brexit (if and when it is finalized), another very welcome development is the failure of the coup against Erdogan; though I am not a fan of his, I am delighted the US-backed Gladio II and Gulen coup failed, and that Erdogan is ridding himself of the filthy ‘Secret State’ 5th column the Yanks had built up, and the serious possibility of Turkey breaking out of NATO.
This is is the first time a Gladio coup has failed.
I think that the crucial question here is that the SNP has come out against Brexit. And that is a clincher for RoS.
The notion that the EU is friendly to working people is very old fashioned and can only be maintained these days be ignoring what it has done in the past few years imposing Washington Consensus socio-economic policies and crucifying places like Greece ‘to encourage the others.’
But that doesn’t matter to RoS. Perhaps he is right: his eye is firmly fixed on the prize of independence from Westminster. And when that, and the precedent it will set for Catalonia and, for example, Lombardy, has been achieved the EU will rapidly disintegrate.
There is a fighting chance that it won’t survive much beyond the coming elections and referendums in Italy, France, Hungary and the Czech lands. So people like us are, with luck, just flogging a horse on its last legs.
“The damage of Brexit”
Are you sure? The last time I checked the sky hadn’t fallen in. House prices hadn’t collapsed and the state pension wasn’t scrapped. The plague of locusts failed to materialise. WW3 hadn’t broken out. And the first born seem to have survived.
Some businesses will suffer, others will prosper. That’s the name of the game. Opportunism and adaptation are key. Survival isn’t a given in business. Key Scotch exports such as diseased salmon and whiskey should prosper.
But I get it. It isn’t about any of that. It’s that the UK didn’t follow Scotland’s wishes.
Thanks for all those who contribute to this list with informative links and opinion. Those who like to play with minds, go join the others in Rio.
Immigration not checked, article 50 discussions not to start before 2019
Nobody is taking control over the companies that are stalling and taking actions to leave, such as Vodaphone, a bad taxpayer, RBS, Nissan Sunderland, who knows.
Billions of funny money printed, inflation up bu 0.6% since Brexit, the pound at its lowest, making companies a target for asset strippers.
Incidents of racial hatred towards immigrants, shops fire bombed and more.
the sky is not falling in because it never has fallen in. maybe it has something to do with the special status Europe is allocating Britain, they have realised that one uniformed pathetic vote should not set the whole of society back. They ARE thinking of the 3.5 million Europeans living here.

Yeah, well.
Looks like May has been dispensing with the “Imam honeypot” tactic for quite some time now, and long before she became PM.
Turfing them back to their prime handlers in the US, despite the UK courts.
Funnily enough, she often said that our human rights legislation protected these terrorist recruiters in our midst.
It’s Britain extricating itself from Gladio B. Wasn’t working so well, the more observant will have noticed.
It’s Foreign Affairs now rampant. The clever chaps, back in charge, woken from their slumber.
And, MI5. Well. They’re not quite the Senior Service.
I’d imagine they’re being pruned.
About bloody time.
So now she’ll be stealing a march to Russian markets, before the poor old Germans can evade their CIA minders, and all those US puppets in the East blocking full German/Russian land trade,
And that’s another way of doing the same job.
You can view it as an independent UK finally asserting its sovereignty distinct from a declining US hegemon, or just Plan B to the same original objective.
Anyway.

The Dysfunctional United Kingdom
I hate dogs, I have been bitten a few times, once got septicaemia and gangrene,
week in hospital and a year recovering.
My mother got knocked down by a big dog, it snapped her leg, she had to spend a couple of weeks in hospital and have bars inserted, this made he old overnight, she stopped driving and going out. A year or so “recovering” at home at 75.
The mystery woman, walked away, leaving my mother on the ground in agony, little girls called an ambulance, the owner vanished.
You never shake it off completely.
Yet these fucking dog attacks with moronic owners, just keep on happening.

I have vowed that the next dog that bites me will be killed, straight away by me, while its fucking owner whines, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Seems all kinds of creatures like to bite your kind.
I’ll give you a try or my dog will if you come around here.
Further to the ‘silly wigs and make-up’ one that I cite:
“Of the 12, only Abid Naseer, the alleged ringleader, was ever convicted – but that was in the US earlier this year. After the UK case collapsed, Naseer was extradited to the US in 2013. He was prosecuted under a law that allows US authorities to pursue terrorism cases even if they take place overseas.”

No point wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned on this piece of shit. Push him out the side of a helicopter.

What, like they apparently did with Bin Laden?
Don’t you think it might have been interesting to see Bin Laden put on trial? so that we could see just how big and bad he was, and to find out more about this huge network of twerrorists that are coming to get us.
I bet you’ve watched the piece of propaganda, ‘London Has Fallen’, about eight zillion times, you poor smuck.
“Don’t you think it might have been interesting to see Bin Laden put on trial?”
No, I was happy for it to proceed straight to sentencing (while he hid behind a female cortege of human shields).
If Bin Laden had been dragged out alive and “put on trial” (in the genuine sense, not your version), you would be claiming he was a body double, brainwashed CIA stooge, or a hologram.
Bin Laden was a CIA trained black ops man who went rogue, well rogue means that he did not do as he was told, just as Mossadekh, Saddam Ghaddaffi, and all those others that hold vast amounts of resources.
They would have never put Bin Laden on trial, he knew too much muck about past actions, Bush’s dynasty oil manouvres etc. Its to be seen whether they will teach his son who has sworn to take revenge.

Anyway, an influx of refugees from war-torn countries will inevitably bring in the opportunist migrants; criminals; rapists et al.
The best solution is to stop creating refugees in the first place.
