Fury as bishops back Iran

The Roman Catholic bishop who oversees the armed forces has provoked fury by praising the Iranian leadership for its "forgiveness" and "act of mercy" in freeing the 15 British sailors and marines last week.

The Bishop of the Forces, the Rt Rev Tom Burns, said that the religious beliefs of the Iranians had played a large part in their decision to release the hostages after holding them for more than two weeks.

Bishop Burns said he had issued an appeal to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, "in the name of his nation and in the name of Islam", to free the sailors and marines, but he could not be sure whether his appeal had reached the authorities in Iran.
He added that the Iranian's Islamic faith shared many religious values with Christianity. "Over the past two weeks, there has been a unity of purpose between Britain and Iran, whereby everyone has sought justice and forgiveness where that is appropriate," he said.

A unity of purpose between Britain and Iran? Does that extend then to Britain wishing to blow Israel off the face of the earth? Is this one of the many values that Christianity share with sections of the Islamic faith? The illegal seizure and contravention of the Geneva convention, the tying up, blindfolding and threatening of personnel is justice?

His words were echoed by a leading Anglican figure, the Right Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, who said Iran had acted within the "moral and spiritual tradition of their country" and contrasted this with Britain's "free-floating attitudes".

Do these people not pay attention to what is going on around the world? Are they not aware of the extermination of Christians that is taking place in so many countries and regions that are under militant and extremist control? What about the Pope's Easter message:

".........terrorism and kidnapping of people, of the thousand faces of violence which some people attempt to justify in the name of religion, of contempt for life, of the violation of human rights and the exploitation of persons."

The Government, the media, the BBC, the Senior Officers in the Armed Services, the MOD and the Church; isn't there anyone who has the patriotism and courage of their convictions to stand up for Britain and Christianity anymore?

Fury as bishops back Iran

The Rt Rev Tom Butler, the Bishop of Southwark apologises for terrorist activities of Islamic extremists.

Tony Blair's decision to invade Iraq contributed to the London bombings of July 7 2005, according to a leading Church of England bishop.
The Rt Rev Tom Butler, the Bishop of Southwark, said that mistakes in the Government's foreign policy had damaged society and radicalised Muslims, leaving them alienated and resentful.

The frightening thing about 7/7 is that they seemed to be ordinary young men from Leeds who didn't look to be fanaticals, but they'd become sufficiently alienated to take this action.

Hmm, no money so driven to petty larceny maybe. Late for work so decided to break the speed limit perhaps. Unhappy with Government foreign policy so take explosives and place them in buses and trains to blow up and decapitate fellow citizens to make a point? NO!

Thank God the rest of the population that absolutely detests this NU Labour dictatorship are more able to control ourselves!

When is the Leadership of the Church of England going to wise up? Is this what passes for moral guidance in their opinion?

The number of people attending Church of England services in this country is in decline, it isn't hard to see why.

Iraq invasion fuelled 7/7 anger, says bishop

Curious incident in the night leaves Bishop of Southwark with black eye and sore head

Greens want to axe Catholic schools.

THE Greens have called for the abolition of Catholic schools in Scotland.

The party, who hope to win at least 10 seats at Holyrood, have included moves for Catholic schools to be integrated into a secular state system in their manifesto.

Green leader Robin Harper claimed that having separate schools "tends to divide communities".

He said: "Catholic children, for most of their time in primary and secondary, do not mix with other children.

"And children who are non-Catholics do not, because the Catholics are educated separately, tend to mix so much with them.

A spokesman for the Catholic Church said: "It is unfortunate that the Greens want to trample on the rights of Catholic parents and the thousands of other parents who aren't Catholics but choose a Catholic education for their kids.
"This is an outrageous proposal."

Mr Harper is of course entitled to his views as are his party. However, I am always intrigued when people of this nature choose to be selective regarding who they criticise. Why single out Catholic schools? Why not call for the abolition of certain other religious schools? After all, to my knowledge there is only one faith that is in the process of opening more faith schools. Where are the Greens calls for their abolition?

Apart from attacking an established church in Britain, what else does the Green party have in mind?

Apart from the scrapping of improvements to transport infrastructure in Scotland in the name of "global warming", the Greens oppose the way young people have been "demonised" using anti-social behaviour powers and are robustly on the side of civil liberties and asylum seekers.

Shiona Baird, the Greens' co-convener, said: "If you have voted Green in the past, there could be no more important time to do so again. If you are voting for the first time, or considering voting Green for the first time, I urge you to back our vision for a socially just and internationally responsible Scotland."

"Socially just"; provided you fit in with their vision and are not from the wrong religious group is that?

School faces court battle over veil ban

Just a quick post as off out for the evening. Nobby sent me this link about the new row over veils in schools.

No point me commenting as there are already 81 comments and rising.

Sometimes you have just got to believe that the time is approaching when common sense will once again prevail.

School faces court battle over veil ban

Law 'threat' to Catholic adoption

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor has written to the Cabinet to say church teaching prevented its agencies placing children with homosexual couples.

He says forcing agencies to act against their consciences would constitute discrimination against Catholics.

The Equality Act is due to come into effect in April.
It outlaws discrimination in the provision of goods, facilities and services on the basis of sexual orientation in a similar way to rules on sex and race discrimination.

Although I do not support discrimination against any group in principle, I am totally against any organisation or legislation that prevents discrimination by discriminating against others

The problem with Nu Labours desire to outlaw discrimination in any form is that it has to discriminate in order to not discriminate! Now we have the example in which the Equality Act will place the rights of homosexuals not to be discriminated against above the right of Religious Groups to have the freedom of conscience and religion; in other words, everyone is equal in their right not to be discriminated against, but some are more equal than others.

Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor says Roman Catholic teaching about the foundations of family life rules out the choice of homosexual adoptive parents.
The cardinal said the closure of the seven agencies would represent a wholly avoidable "tragedy".
Its agencies are said to handle 4% or about 200 of all adoptions a year but about a third of those children judged difficult to place.

BBC Religious Affairs Correspondent Robert Pigott said the letter suggests the Catholic Church is ready for a fight.

Well it is about time that they did put up a fight. A certain other religious group in this country continues to grow in influence due to the vocal nature of it's "congregation".

Interestingly enough, this new legislation also conflicts with their views on sexuality, and so left unchallenged, Nu Labour could well have to face the ignominy of presiding over a contest between homophobia and islamaphobia.

Not fit for purpose!

In a mature, democratic, intelligent society, one accepts that for many jobs there may well be one or two prerequisites. To be a Veterinary Surgeon one must be academically qualified, to be a driver one must have a certain level of eyesight and have passed a test, employment in the fire service requires a certain level of fitness and so on.

So what about the police service, how about a serving police officer who is not able to touch half of all members of the public? Ridiculous, silly, that would never happen!

Well remember, this is Blair's (and Brown's) Britain, and here commonsense gives way all the time to political correctness and the appeasement of certain religions.

A muslim woman police officer has sparked a new debate by refusing to shake hands with Britain's most senior police chief for religious reasons.
The incident happened at a passing-out parade where Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair was inspecting a line-up of 200 recruits.

In addition to refusing a traditional congratulatory handshake from Sir Ian, the WPC - who wore a traditional Muslim hijab headscarf - also declined to be photographed with him as she did not want the picture used for 'propaganda purposes'.

The woman had earlier insisted that it was contrary to her religious teaching for her to touch a man.

Imagine another police officer on patrol who is attacked and calls upon this colleague to assist, what will be the response?

Is it not enough that we have police officers refusing to protect certain sectors of society due to their religious beliefs? It is completely outrageous.

Thousands of applications are turned down each year by young men and women who would love to be police officers, warts and all.

By all means recruit from minority groups if it will ensure an all inclusive police service, but one thing must be certain, the recruits themselves must be fit for purpose.

Unable to carry out my duties

Calls for Police Action after Dispatches expose.

I am very pleased to hear that a leading Muslim has called for a police enquiry following the recent Dispatches programme on Channel Four.

Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, the head of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, called for imams and mosque leaders to be questioned amid claims that forces were reluctant to act.

He also expressed concern that a Muslim primary school teacher, secretly filmed while he delivered a diatribe against Jews, Christians and "filthy non-Muslim doctors", has been allowed to remain in his job.

Although I cannot recollect voting in the elections for the Muslim Parliament, (probably lost in the post) any public call for the law to be applied in an equitable way deserves nothing but praise.

Just a thought though, wouldn't it be really fantastic if the request for police action from the head of a faux parliament could be followed up by a request from the REAL PARLIAMENT OF GREAT BRITAIN! As I say, just a thought.

TV 'preachers of hate' escape police action

Big Brother vs Undercover Mosque

Whilst I try to avoid the idea of conspiracy theories in principle, I also agree with the idea that just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

We really do live in very strange times.

Several z list "celebrities" make some supposedly "racist" comments in a programme that is edited before being aired, where we have no real idea about what is said to the contestants when the camera is not on them, and for all we know could be scripted! What happens?

All the papers in this country, including the ones that once upon a time would have known better, the television channels and even Parliament debate the issue.

There were over 800 - yes that's 800 people murdered in this country last year, where is the front page coverage of that, where is the big debate in Parliament about people who are actually dying?

And so too, the Dispatches programme in which people call for the overthrow of democracy in this country. According to our now draconian laws which have replaced free speech, and judging by the prosecution of the BNP two, clearly laws were broken, serious offences committed.

Where is the coverage of this?

And remember the "Jerry Springer" issue debate in Parliament? The one in which 40000 plus people complained about the airing of this musical? Although in fairness, it was only Christians who were complaining!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, 2007, you ain't seen nothing yet!

And this weeks winner is....... (warning - longish post, plenty of waffle!)

It appears that I have been named blog of the week by Central News, it’s quite an honour for a blog that is only 2 months old to be named Blog of the week by anyone!

Looking at the previous blogs of the week on Central News, I hope I didn't make it in for similar reasons to Spicy Cauldron; that would be disappointing!

Central News is run by a supporter of the BNP and therefore if I was to follow current convention I would have to write some sort of disclaimer stating that whilst I support free speech, I do no want anyone to think I have any association with their heinous views and diabolical actions, etc. etc. yada yada yada!

Perhaps I could say that it is a shame that people are drawn to such a party by the BNP's ability to exploit tensions in areas of the country, perhaps I should decry the BNP stance on putting British people first, their views on immigration, Christianity or the fact they hate Jews!

But you see, to do any of that would be to speak the words of someone else or to repeat someone else’s views. I prefer to look at things myself, to make up my own mind having looked at things from all sides.

As I said in a previous post, I have always had a passing interest in politics but like most people the interest tended to focus mostly on interest rates, taxes and that sort of thing.Through the years I confess that at various times I have voted for all the main parties and indeed a few minor ones. The main criterion for my decision has always been the individual candidate regardless of which party they belong to. Obviously they will tend to have a certain outlook based on which party they represent, but there is many an excellent councillor or MP who do an extremely good job for their constituents despite the party they represent.

I work in the service sector and I meet lots of different people each week, old people, young people, people from various ethnic backgrounds and social groups, and we often have time for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee. Setting the world to rights is a favourite pastime for many people and the conversation always goes in the direction they choose, after all, the customer is always right.

Over a number of years I noticed that the topic of conversation started to change, from sports and the state of the health service, people started to talk about immigration, religion, law and order, lack of police and other currently hot topics. To start with it was in a matter of fact almost apologetic way, as if the failings in society are somehow everyone’s fault and we should all feel ashamed of ourselves.
More recently though, people tend to be a lot more open, concerns regarding Islamic terrorism, the force feeding of Halal meet to huge swathes of the population, children being taught all about every other religion in the world except Christianity, Mosques being built all over the place, lack of jobs for British workers, stupid EU regulation, lack of freedom of speech, Government snooping, to name but a few, have all come up.

Imagine that, British people so frustrated and ignored that rather than talk about the weather they would rather get their thoughts on all of the above off their chest to anyone who will listen.

On my favourites page I have a link to mediauk which has a link to all newspapers in this country. Once a week or so I spend a few hours looking at the local news in places up and down the land.

One thing that always strikes me is the difference between local news and national news. Traditionally one would expect the national news to cover the broader issues, take a look at the bigger picture and to offer more analysis of current events, whilst the local paper would cover school fetes and local rubbish collection times and that sort of thing.

That is certainly not the case anymore; local papers have become one of the only reliable sources of news, although there are some noticeable exceptions where they do not let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
Taking a look at a small cross section, one finds local problems caused due to overcrowding, immigration, violence between different cultural and ethnic groups, lack of local job prospects, breakdown of local services, increased violent crime, criticism of local police services and any number of other issues affecting people’s daily lives.

But where is the same attention to these issues from the National News Papers or the main television channels? The simple answer is that there is very little, and when there is it is always to play down the issues.

As a consequence, when incidents happen locally one may be forgiven for thinking that, because you don’t see the same thing happening in the national news, you are just unfortunate to be living in a problem area, and anyway things are not that bad.

Up and down the country people are living in local conditions that make them unhappy, and to add insult to injury they are made to feel that it is a local issue and therefore somehow it must be a local problem, and as they are local, somehow they must be part of the problem.

Keeping things on a local level makes it much easier to keep the problems under wrap. If it was clear that Eastern European immigration was putting British workers out of jobs up and down the country then God forbid, something might have to be done about it. But keep it local and it is easy to close down the argument by accusing locals of being xenophobic or racist and of exaggerating the issues, after all, if British workers weren’t so damned lazy we wouldn’t have to bring in this alternative workforce in the first place. In fact, it’s your own fault!

When the Religious and Racial Hatred Act was being debated I wrote to my local MP and asked what his party intended to do about the continued erosion of free speech. I pointed out that the situation was getting so bad that an increasing number of people would find themselves voting for the BNP as the only party that took the issue seriously. The response was rather patronising including the somewhat contradictory final statement:

“The Conservative party will continue to support all British Citizens regardless of their origins. I must point out that the BNP is a thoroughly nasty racist party, several of whose leading members have been convicted of criminal offences. No decent person should contemplate supporting them.”

To take this at face value I would be forced to believe that the BNP is full of degenerates and thugs, the sort of people who would think nothing of violent confrontations, hounding people out of their jobs, accepting bribes, deception and any number of other offences.

On the other hand, if one takes a slightly more considered approach, one could easily put together a list of several leading members of the Conservative party who have actually been to prison, and various blogs have lists of Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat Councillors, party members and the like, with convictions ranging from GBH and murder, through to embezzlement, sexual assault, corruption and voting fraud.

Then there are the recent demonstrations by United Against Fascism in which they protest against people whose political views they do not like by trying to have them removed from their job. They site the justification that the people who they are protesting against would take away other peoples jobs if they had the chance. This group and others like it are supported personally and financially by members of the three main parties.

Every business has its share of “bad eggs”, every supporters group, every religion, every political party, every organisation that incorporates a substantial number of people will end up with people that you could do with out, people that cause embarrassment and have a potential to undermine the success of that particular movement.

But you shouldn't engage with the BNP because they are racist and have a racist agenda in which they favour indigenous white British people!

This is where I am the most confused. How is that in any way different from having a Black Police Association, Asian Police Association, or any of the other hundreds of "Associations" set up to further the rights and ambitions of specific sectors of society. After all, success for a lot of these Associations must come at the expense of someone else. If they feel they are under funded, under resourced, under represented etc, this can only be addressed by removing funding or resources from elsewhere, or in the case of promotion and representation, hold other groups back.

I read today that it is totally wrong to discriminate against someone because of their colour as they are born that way, but the same commentator argued that it was not so bad to criticise Polish people for coming to Britain on the grounds that it is not racist because they are white too. But surely the reason some people do not want Polish people coming over here in the thousands is for the same reason they do not want thousands of people from Africa or Asia. It is nothing to do with colour, it is because an influx of too many people from a differing culture causes a dilution and potential undermining of one’s own. But to protest against Eastern European may be anti-EU or xenophobic, protest against African and Asian immigration and you are a nasty racist.

I have been the victim of racial abuse on a number of occasions, fortunately only verbal. Did I find it upsetting, yes I did, but no more so than any other daily random offensive behaviour aimed at me as I go about daily life in this country.

The last occasion was when a young man and his friends had stopped their car in the middle of the road to have a conversation with some others on the side of the road. I couldn’t get passed so having waited patiently for a minute or so I beeped my horn gently as most people would do. I was met with a torrent of abuse with several phrases calling into question my parentage in the context of being white, told that this particular area belonged to their ethnic grouping and people like me were not welcome there. Under today’s legislation and hysteria surrounding “racism” this could be seen as a very serious offence, and if it were not for the one sided application of the law, the youths may have been facing custodial sentences such as those already passed on several white defendants.

However, I remember when I used to drive to work through Broughton and up to Middleton when I was younger. White kids would stand in the middle of the road and threaten you if you asked them to move, I had my car window broken whilst sat at the traffic lights because someone wanted the packet of cigarettes on the passenger seat. The same sort of incident happens all the time up and down the country.

So is it racist behaviour when you offend someone of a different ethnic group to your own, or is it just offensive?

I have posted on lots of other Blogs, often on anti-BNP sites filled with the same vicious canards and always ask the same thing, give us the details. If the BNP is filled with the vile people you say it is, name them along with their crimes and publicly declared statements against humanity.

To date, all I have seen has been a failed attempt to convict two Senior Members of their party by introducing legislation that makes it an offence now, to say things it would have been ok to say a few years ago, whilst at the same time refusing to take action against other groups of people who have made similar remarks which have included specific threats against this nation.

Oh, there’s also a minibus driver who lost his job; his crime? Well if he drives the bus, other people may not like it and so THEY might attack the vehicle thereby endangering him and his fellow occupants.
And don’t forget the other high profile racist, thuggish, thoroughly nasty member of the BNP party and the serious criminal activities she is involved in? Well in fact, she isn't actually involved in anything criminal (unless you really dislike ballet); in fact she hasn't actually harmed anyone nor done anything wrong. But what she is guilty of is being a member of the BNP, that’s it, nothing else.

Politics is a funny game, one year you can vote for Nu Labour and elect a conservative Government and the next time you vote for Nu Labour you get a communist Government. Vote Conservative one time and that’s what you’ll get, next time round, vote Conservative and you’ll get a socialist Government.

A free democratic society is one in which all people are allowed to have a voice, regardless of whether you like what they have to say.

If the BNP is as described than we have nothing to fear because they will never be acceptable to the majority of British people and therefore we should listen to what they have to say and engage in debate on every occasion.

Debate is the way forward, stop the personal attacks and slanderous statements, give them enough rope and they will hang themselves; or will they? Who knows, a vote for the BNP in the future could in fact be a vote for conservatism.

In my younger days I used to be an avid reader of the fantastic 2000 AD comic. I remember one story in an episode of Judge Dredd in which a member of the public is being stoned before Judge Dredd intervenes and saves him. Everyone there is rounded up and interviewed at the section house as follows (condensed):

Dredd: You! What were you stoning him for?
Person 1: I-I don’t know sir
Dredd: What do you mean; you’re bouncing rocks off some poor sap’s skull and you don’t know why?
Person 1: I-I heard something … He did somethin’ or somethin’
Dredd: Do any of you know why you did this?
Person 2: Rover Johnson had it comin’! He was a bad guy. He’d done bad things.
Dredd: What bad things?
Person 2 I dunno .. There were rumours. The whole block knew.
Dredd: Knew what creep?
Person 2: You know – Rover Johnson had it comin’!
Dredd: So when did you first hear there was going to be a stoning?
Person 3: Yesterday morning, down in the Gossiperia. I figured, Well, I’m not doin’ anything tomorrow, might as well go along…
Person 4: No I didn’t know Rover Johnson personally, but I did hear some pretty unpleasant things!
Dredd: Be specific
Person 4: Well, there was … He… I … I’m not sure, really. Rumours – and not very nice ones!



So, do I support the BNP, well call me old fashioned but that is my business.

Should you support the BNP, well clearly, that is your business.


Central News

Dispatches - Undercover Mosque

Well, having watched half the programme I got bored and decided to give the rest of it a miss. I have to say that there were no surprises, anybody who chooses to look beyond the MSM drivel and main party spin at what is really going on in this country and throughout the world cannot be under any illusion anymore.

The obvious question that the programme does raise is whether or not the Police, Prosecution Service and Government will carry out an immediate investigation followed by criminal proceedings in the same way as they did in the case of the BNP leader.

Having followed the trial of Nick Griffin, and heard some of the comments on last nights programme, there is more than enough evidence to press charges. Even those who felt that it was correct to prosecute Nick Griffin for his comments at a private meeting must agree that his comments and those of his co-defendant were nothing compared to what was seen last night.

"An army of Muslims will arise," predicts one preacher. Another said British Muslims must dismantle British democracy, they must live like a state within a state until they are strong enough to take over.

That's our country they are talking about Mr Blair, when are you going to do something about it?

UPDATE: It appears that Nick Griffin has written a letter to the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Nick Griffin has written the following letter to the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police:

Monday 15th January 2007 - Channel 4 8:00 p.m.

Undercover Mosque

"Chilling undercover investigation into the influence of Saudi Arabian religious extremism throughout the UK. Despite being considered Britain's principal ally in the Middle East, this disturbing report reveals Saudi Arabian Islam - Wahabism - is spreading a message of bigotry and hatred to a section of Muslims and predicting an imminent jihad. An undercover reporter joins Islamic worshippers and captures some of the alarming sermons being delivered by Saudi-trained preachers in British mosques."

(Radio Times)

Trailer suggests that it will be quite informative, but it is Channel 4 so I will keep an open mind.

Same sex marriage - for it or against it, you WILL accept it!

It appears that certain Christians in this country are seen by many to be the enemy, what with the EU threatening Christian groups who do not wish to be told what they should think, and now Exeter University Evangelical Christian Union being suspended from the student guild and having bank accounts frozen.

The reason for this is that the guild decided to ask members to sign a statement of religious belief.Similar groups have been accused of discrimination against non-Christians and gay people. The union is seeking a judicial review at the High Court.

I think that the fact that only white, Christian, straight people are not allowed to group together with similar people, whilst everyone else can have hundreds if not thousands of organisations that by their very title exclude the rest of us, is outrageous and should no longer be tolerated.

We are only 5 days into 2007 and already the thought police have intruded into so many things that I know things will definitely get far worse before they get better, if they get better.

From the BBC website
Christian students in legal fight

and from Cranmer:
EU: ‘Accept same-sex marriage or face expulsion’

Enough is enough!

You know it actually takes an awful lot to make me angry, but sometimes, just sometimes, I come across something that leaves me seething.

I was born in Salford which at the time was Lancashire, now of course part of Greater Manchester. My parents owned a terraced house in a road that was two away from my Mother's Aunt, and four roads away from her Mother. To walk to either my Great Aunt's house, or my Grandparents house took less than 5 minutes and we visited on a daily or certainly weekly basis.

At school I knew huge numbers of other children who had the same circumstances with their parents family living in close proximity to each other.

The extended family was commonplace and that is how most of my generation grew up. Indeed, whilst I no longer live "up North", my parents still live about 5 minutes away from one of my brothers and his family.

In my childhood, discipline came from within the family, the old adage of the child being told off at school leading to even more trouble from ones parents was certainly true.

But more importantly was the feeling of not letting your parents down, the idea of answering back was unthinkable, respect was the order of the day both inside and outside the family.

What caused the change in society, well who knows? I certainly have my suspicions, and these ar being borne out as time goes on, but that is for another day. I certainly still know a lot of people who have the same close knit families, the same sense of family values and who provide the same framework for discipline as they always did. Perhaps standards are what has changed, and what might be interpreted as lack of respect by some, may just be seen as a natural reaction to the changes in society by others.

So what is it that has made my blood boil?

My attention was drawn to the comments section of the Guardian Unlimited and an article by somebody called Sarfraz Manzoor.

In the article, we are informed that perhaps it is we, the "white society" (sic) that should integrate into Muslim values; to whit


"It is easy to dismiss Muslim parents as old-fashioned and traditional, but when the rest of the country is busy wondering how to respond to a culture of rampant disrespect, it is worth considering whether they could learn from Muslim values. Muslim children are more likely to be brought up in two-parent families rather than the single-parent households that are increasingly common in Britain."

"For example, when I was growing up there was no possibility of answering back to my parents, and this was accompanied by an all-pervasive fear of letting them down. This was a model of parenting that put great faith in deference."

""The right to be in a multicultural society," argued the prime minister in a speech last month, "was always implicitly balanced by a duty to integrate, to be part of Britain." Behind these remarks was an assumption that integration is a one-way street. However, there are many things that the rest of the country could learn from Muslims."

He further explains that not only can we whites learn from Muslim values, but also that where individual Muslims are no longer living up to his values for Muslim society, the fault lies with, yes you've guessed it, white society:

"Whether the danger is religious extremism, drugs or crime, those involved are largely third-generation Muslims who are so integrated into white society that they are emulating its worst characteristics. Integration did not save them, it created them."

My family has lived in this country for generations without ever feeling the need to have our values checked by anyone. Despite media propaganda, there are still a lot of places in this country that have relatively low levels of immigration, and contrary to current urban myths, rubbish collection, toilet cleaning, working at McDonald's, sweeping the streets, hell, even Estate Agency is carried out by local British workers with no assistance from outside.

This is a great country filled with great people. We have a history of achievement, of great advancements, a society that on the whole is still populated with people who deep down have the same values as when I was growing up.

We don't need telling what to do, or how to live our lives, we don't need to have groups and religions telling us where we have being going wrong, where we are going wrong and what we need to do to make things better. We have managed thus far without you and I know we will get along just fine in the future.

Up until a few years ago I had never bothered with politics. Sure, I voted at most elections but never paid more than a passing interest, mainly how much tax I was going to have to pay and what was in the budget.

Immigration and multiculturalism has changed all that. Now I find that the common values that have stood me and my family and friends in good stead are wrong, at least that is what the likes of Sarfraz Manzoor would have us believe.

My views and those of people like me are not wrong, we are not bigots or racists, we do not dislike other people because of who they are, because of the colour of their skin or their religious views. That we leave to others such as Sarfraz Manzoor, Nu Labour, The Conservatives, The Liberal Democrats,Ken Livingston, members of Black Association this, or Black Association that, Muslim this or Muslim that, Equality group for this, Equality group for that, the Main Stream Media sleaze merchants, anyone who tells us that we live in areas that are hideously white, the big businesses that want to have cheap labour at any costs, the minority groups who want to undermine the whole of society so that they can push through their own agenda.

These are the racists, these are the bigots. These are the people who gave me no choice in how I wanted society to be.

Had they asked me, and the tens of millions like me, whether or not we wanted this so called enriched society in which our own traditions, values and beliefs would be so freely rubbished by all comers, then my answer, our answer would have been no, no, no.

So to Mr Sarfraz Manzoor, The Guardian, and all the rest of the people that have used their position and authority to abuse me and people like me I say this, I am the common man, and I have had enough.

Britain should integrate into Muslim values

BBC - welcome to 2007

If headlines and comment in the British media are anything to go by, then 2006 was a bad year to be a Muslim in the UK ...... so says the lead in a BBC article on their website.

Reading the article I have a sinking feeling that during 2007 things are going to get worse before (and if) they get any better.

Here is the BBC point of view:

2007: Moving on after the veil row

For an alternative point of view:

Britain - The Islamization of Britain

Make up your own mind.

"Honours"

With the news that a famous Pop Star is to join a fellow famous Pop Star with an honourable award, isn't it time to put an end to this outmoded, corrupt system of populist, political nonsense.

I have to confess that I have never been a great supporter of the Honours list as I have always thought that it singles out people in such a subjective way.

However, with the current police investigation still ongoing into cash for honours, surely most people must recognise that now is the time to call a final halt to this discredited system.

These days I regret to say that the Monarchy has become irrelevant with the move from being Defender of the Faith to seemingly Defender of any Faith, speeches written for the Queen that have no real relevance to the British people, and Honours lists that mean little to everyday people.

As for any list by the Government, who would want to be on that, tainted as it is?

Hasn't the Government heard, the British Empire is over, British Honours are worthless. How does a Government that has done more than any previous Government in history to destroy our way of life dare to put together lists of Honours that include:

Member of the British Empire,
Order of the British Empire etc.

This is Nu Britain, the all inclusive World Order country.

Watch out Mr Blair, if you continue to make these sort of "racist" awards you may well have Trevor Phillips knocking on your door.

Sorry, that would be Trevor Phillips OBE, wouldn't it!

Animal Cruelty and Double Standards

I just caught a bit of the television news, I know, I do my best not to watch it but every so often it catches you out, especially at this time of year when bulletins are at unusual times.

They were talking about the traditional Boxing Day hunts taking place in parts of the country and inevitably about the "unworkable" law put in place to prevent cruelty to foxes.

Police will no doubt be out in force to prevent trouble between Hunters and those who still feel more needs to be done to prevent cruelty to animals.

Over the years there has apparently been violence on both sides with people defending their principles, and a number of animal lovers have been convicted for standing up for what they believe in.

This is why I am really puzzled at the way in which so many people appear to be blind to a cruelty that is prevalent in this and other "civilised" countries.

The slaughter of animals without stunning them first is both cruel and barbaric. This country has over the last decades led the way in providing decent and humane conditions for animals and it seems a pity that all this hard work has been undone by the refusal of the Government to outlaw these practices.

Perhaps those people who invest so much of their time championing the rights of animals could spend some of their time trying to get this practice banned.

Foxes are inevitably killed regardless of whether they are chased in the hunt, so surely it is a matter of the cruelty involved in their death, so I cannot see why the "religious slaughter" of animals is any different.

Cruelty is cruelty, no matter whose name it is under.

John Reid - on likely Christmas attack

Talking on GMTV, the Home Secretary says that the threat of a terrorist attack is very high indeed. Unfortunately we have got used to these sort of predictions in the same way that Christmas and IRA attacks used to go hand in hand.

Until Mr Reid and the rest of the Government face up to the truth and recognise what serious problems they have introduced into this country, there is no chance of reducing this risk.

He says:

"The aim of the terrorists is to divide the community, to pretend that this is a war between Muslims and everyone else, when it isn't.
"In a funny way they reflect the views of the extreme right of politics who argue the same thing - that the big division is between Islam and everyone else.
"It isn't - it's between the terrorists and everyone else and only with that unity can we ultimately defeat them."

So there is no division between Islam and everyone else then Mr Reid?

Try telling that to those people who wish to go swimming in public swimming baths but now find them segregated.
Tell it to those people who have monstrosities built on their door steps and loud speakers blaring out several times a day, even at a time when church bells have been restricted up and down the country due to complaints about the noise.
Tell it to those people who have had to change the name of their establishment due to it not fitting in with our new society.
Tell it to those whose traditional Guy Fawkes celebrations are supplanted by tiger festivals.
Tell it to those people who find it almost impossible to find a traditional Christmas card or display in a shop window.
Tell it to those people who find that local groups are flouting planning regulations without any fear of interference by the authorities.
Tell it to those people who find their children being taught about Islam even when there is nothing about Christianity being mentioned.
Tell it to the parents of children who are being taken on visits to Mosques without their permission even though there is no reciprocal arrangement with Muslim children.
Tell it to anyone who has had to remove posters, pictures, personal possessions from their work place, or had to sit through "diversity" training.
Tell it to anyone who has been stuck in a mixed ward in hospital and watched as members of a certain religious group are granted privacy that they are not.
Tell it to the people who have their work censored and to the people who are unable to view what the rest of the world views.
Tell it to the public who can be arrested at any time of day who may wonder why certain religious groups have certain times where they are immune to arrest.
Tell it to the members of the public who may wonder why members of a certain religious group are notified before police operations are carried out.
Tell it to anyone who has been subject to offensive racist and religious insults and been told by the police that it only counts in one direction.

The fact is Mr Reid, that this list is by no means exhaustive, the divisions between Islam and the rest of us are clear to see, and that is just in this country which still has a minority of Muslims.

What about countries that are run according to their laws, where beheadings are common for nothing more that deciding you no longer wish to be part of that religion? Where you may not practice any other religion or have any of the freedoms we take for granted?

There is no unity between Islam and the rest of the population and nor will there be as long as this Government allows the continued destruction of our culture and heritage, allows the continued segregation of society, and continues to pretend that it is extremists causing the problem.

I personally do not know anyone who has benefited in anyway from this revolution visited on us by the present government, but I do know a lot of people who feel that life is considerably worse.

The Government and media are constantly trying to associate "right wing extremists" with terrorism by referring to them in the same sentence, phrase or context. What they really mean, of course, is the British National Party.

I want this country maintain it's Christian traditions. I want it to represent the views of the majority and do not want the population to be supplanted by other cultures and religions just because our present Government likes this idea better.

This, according to Mr Reid and people like him, makes me an extremist because it is a view I share with the British National Party.

Public opinion is changing as people wake up to the reality of what this Government has done to us. The Great British Public is no longer falling for this corruption of the truth. Once credibility is lost it is impossible to get it back.

Far from the British spirit being defeated, at this time of year the Government should pay heed to what may have once been said about another great nation:

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

Islam Awareness Week

I was not yet open for business as it were, so missed the fact that last week was Islam Awareness week.

http://www.iaw.org.uk/ gives you all the information that you may of missed and the website gives a lot of information for those who know little of Islam.

Alternatively for a different point of view you could look at
