Quote of the Day

Alastair Campbell remembers…

“December 5, 1996, Gallup poll. Labour 59. Tories 22. Now that’s what I call a lead. And they’re nowhere near it, because they have not sealed the deal, because they’re not serious on policy, because they haven’t changed much, and because a lot of people don’t really like them.”

      And what did Labour bring us, broken promises, broken society, broken Union, bankrupt country, corrupt Government and an invasion of third world immigrants who are now demanding Sharia Law in enclaves where British people are harressed and beaten up.

      It was always pretty obvious – although people like me who suspected mass immigration to be deliberate policy have been called paranoid for saying so. And were is CallMeDave on this? Nowhere is where. Time for real change!

      Possibly one of the greatest criminal acts perpetuated on the British people.

      This self obsessed crook has lined his own pocket and systematically destroyed our country. By stealth and by design.

      The Devil Eyes campaign was pretty accurate, wasn’t it?

      This evil git needs to be arrested and sent down rather than become the unelected leader of Europe.

      The right term is “cultural genocide”. Under the Soviets, mass migration of Russians to the Baltic States left Estonians and Latvians a minority in their own country. At least there haven’t been mass deportations of English people to St Kilda or North Rona — yet.

        UN Draft Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples:-

        http://cwis.org/drft9329.html

        Article 7

        Indigenous peoples have the collective and individual right not to be subjected to ethnocide and cultural genocide, including prevention of and redress for:
        (a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities;
        (b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources;
        (c) Any form of population transfer which has the aim or effect of violating or undermining any of their rights;
        (d) Any form of assimilation or integration by other cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures;
        (e) Any form of propaganda directed against them.

        The Left and New Labour have mounted a pretty successful propaganda campaign denying indigenous status to the English but I suspect their actions, especially the revelation of deliberately uncontrolled immigration to diversify England into a multi-cultural society may be in direct breach of the Articles of this UN Declaration and I look forward to representatives of the English people laying a formal complaint to the UN about it. But who represents the English people? We have a British government, a British parliament and Irish, Scots and Welsh devolved parliaments and assemblies. Something is seriously wrong here.

        The central question is about the right of the English to claim themselves as an indigenous people. The Left and all their cohorts deny this and impose on us accordingly. Furthermore in our attempts to maintain, defend and protect our identify these destroyers of our country demonise us as racist, Little Englanders, the extreme right, etc.

        Well, I am not a racist or of the extreme right but I do solemly declare my right to maintain and defend my nationality and the sovereign status of my nation, as the Irish, Scots and Welsh do. If that requires me to fight for it – then so be it.

      Multi-cultural was always a way of saying anti-democratic.

    So….the Conservatives need to have a lead of 37 points to be in with a chance of winning against Labour. It sounds like the rigged electoral system of some third world or ex-soviet country.

      Anyone hear George Osborne on the radio this morning . He was unable to say how he would solve the financial crisis,total wipe out .He needs to have some ideas before opening his mouth on national radio so weak and unconvincing.

        Could that be becuase the financial mess is worse than imagined and it is VERY problematical indeed to solve. Therefore should we not in fact be blaming the people how caused it and allowed it to happen through ineptitude and incompetence rather on attacking someone for not necessarily having all the answers as yet. Its a bit like an arsonist blaming the fire service.

          Nothing about the credit crunch was unforseen, the reality is that both across the atlantic and in the UK those who signalled a warning were ignored and silenced.

          The reality is that we (the UK) are like a homeowner who has managed to remortgage to fund an extension, except (as it is a metaphor for public services) the extension doesn’t add to the value of the house, and there is no room to maneuver if prices fall.

          We are in a state of denial (in government) and whilst Brown was the man who used to CHANT

          “BOOM AND BUST”

          He now averts his bug-eyed gaze looks around to his own benches and suggests he “has had the answers” well, time will tell, we took vast amounts of equity and ploughed them in to failing banks, who then decided not to lend to businesses, seems to me that the GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE DIRECTLY TAKEN PRESSURE OFF THE BANKS BY OFFERING CASH INJECTIONS TO INDUSTRY DIRECTLY, only saved the banks that we couldn’t afford to have crash, and let the bad eggs fail.

          And we keep borrowing and spending, Brown is such a vile, nasty piece of work, so Stalinist in his outlook, egocentric, narcissistic, to the point that he is in complete denial about his public persona, believing rather naively that he will at some point be loved as he originally intended, as the saviour of Britain’s economy.

          Reality is, we need to spend less, less benefits, less incap payments, less tax credits, less public expenditure, less civil servants, less pointless quangos, blue-sky groups, thinktanks, less tax, save our fucking money you fat fucking c.unt and then take an OD of your seroxat you vile, fat slug-eyed goon.

    So London is now’a more attractive and cosmopolitan place’ More attractive than what?A sewer?
    It’s certainly attractive to lots of slave labour rate immigrants, so much so,that the people born here can’t find jobs that pay enough to support a family.
    I was thinking it was just stupidity and the endemic Labour incompetence that was to blame,but no,it was deliberate!!!
    I knew when they were elected the were going to fuck up big time but to deliberately shaft the whole country?
    Blair and Brown should be charged with treason and put in solitary for the rest of their disgusting lives.

      It’s funny how people of like-mind never seem to object to the tens of thousands of aussies and kiwis who earn vast sums of money working in investment banks and brokerages, developing large property portfolios in london.

      I don’t think the slave-rate labour is the reason you can’t find a job, most developers I know (and I know a few) will always opt for decent uk-based firms whose workmanship is sound (relatively) and in whom one can place the trust that a deadline will be met.

      A bigger problem is that 90 percent of the things we used to manufacture here are now bought in bulk direct from China, undercutting the industries that used to give many thousands of UK workers security… Job competition isn’t the main problem people have, it’s just that the number of industries available are mainly in the service sector and when they implode there’s no other revenue generation and everyone is up shit-creek.

      Germany has a much more diverse industry, production of quality goods is something this country does incredibly well, yet the government has done absolutely nothing to prevent the decline and fail of manufacturing (except for the lucrtative arms market, BAE for example) at the expense of promoting london as a global business banking hub, it makes the entire country reliant on the industries that we are both least comfortable with, the most difficult to regulate, and the most likely to be the cause of recession.

      Diversification, it’s the best route to survival, the last thing we want to be as a nation is a “banking specialist” because the rewards will be limited to a few sectors and generally with a massive pay-curve, Labour has been absolutely instrumental in promoting this image of the UK/London, it has done absolutely nothing in the good times to prepare for the risk, unless we change we will always be the most “at risk” nation in G7, if you look at how US debt pans out relative to the population you see how fucked we are here, we need new ideas and I don’t think Osborne is much more creative in all honesty, he certainly doesn’t fill me with confidence…

    Let’s be having some proper tittle-tattle now me hearties.

    About this rum tale I am hearing of that little old lady of Threadneedle Street helping out its pirate friends Capt Morgans with deliveries of gold. You know, the usual carry trade. Carry here. Carry there. It’s what we do. But we’s talking real gold. Gold you can touch. Gold you can sniff. Argh, don’t you just love the smell of gold in the morning? But this here gold, so the salty tale goes, straight out the Bank, isn’t the real thing, as someone somewhere has been a-melting it down and a-mixing it with summat else. That lil old lady has a big house back there – some say there’s a supermarket in the basement, others that there’s a shooting range too – so you could reckon they could fit a little smelter in there if they so desired. Not saying the old lady had anything to do with it, like. As I said, it’s the carry trade we’s in. Someone could have carried it in there. Funny tho, you’d expect the old girl to notice who’s putting what in her drawers.

    But the thing is, it seems Capt Morgan caught caught a bit short. Tis a problem me hearties in our line of business to be sure, all this billin and ladin. But rumour goes Capt Morgan been sayin his boat is bigger than it is. Course all we do, me hearties, keeps the competition guessin. But this time Capt Morgan’s been believing his own fishy tale and done contracted to deliver more gold than he got. Now why would he go pissing in the pool like that? And now you’ve got me thinking about those other little pickles Capt Morgan’s as got imself into recently, like messin up his swag and his customers’, and they’s not well pleased.
    Arghh. Let’s not be wondering if teflon Tone is one of his customers.

    Secure that yard arm there – we could be a-needin it soon.

    The window-lickers are out in force again today I see. Still, the upcoming election of your half-witted heroes (Cameroon et Gisbourne) will, at the very least, guarantee independence for the glorious Alba.

    How ironic; the true-blue tories, who think the are the embodiment of this (failed union), will be the ones to oversee its disintegration…

    Fucking delicious!

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
