Blair changes tune on Afghanistan
Remember a few days ago when we found out that Blair was lying when he said troops will get ‘whatever they need’.
Well ‘whatever they need’ has now changed to ‘we will listen carefully to any requests that are made to us’. In other words they will get fuck all to save their lives. I bet those servicemen just love risking certain death because they can’t get the armour they need to put up a decent fight.
Can we trust anything of what Blair says?
NHS won't be in red for long
Were you worried about the NHS? Well fear not Patricia Hewitt is going to get the NHS out of the red and into the black. She said "I have said that we will return the NHS as a whole to financial balance by the end of March next year and I take personal responsibility."
So it’s good news then. Well not really. She went onto say "some parts of the NHS in
Well it looks like those 3000 doctors who can’t find a job better start flying abroad seeing as they will never get a job here. What about immigrant doctors? Surely they should be the first to go?
Half of border police work in office
Remember 6 days ago when it was announced that there would be an Immigration and Boarder police? I bet everyone thought that Blair was finally doing something. Well you would be wrong because just a few days later it is announced that more than half of those police will be nothing but office workers. Yes that’s right. Most won’t even leave their offices.
There are only 2100 officers to deal with 570,000 illegal immigrants in this country and that number is growing by tens of thousands every week.
Are we really surprised? We are promised more immigration police which we don’t get. Blair promised the army ‘whatever they need’ and then they don’t get anything so they can survive the constant attacks by the Taliban. This is typical Labour behaviour. All Labour do is lie and destroy this country.

Parents of bullies to be fined £1000
Parents of bullies could be forced to attend parenting classes or face a £1,000 fine, Education Secretary Alan Johnson has warned.
His message came as campaigners said 20,000 children were skipping school every day to avoid being bullied.
Mr Johnson said he wanted to create a "zero tolerance" culture towards bullying in an effort to stamp out the "despicable" and "intolerable" phenomenon.
New powers under the Education Act would allow parenting orders to be imposed on mothers and fathers of bullies, with a £1,000 fine if they failed to comply, he said.
I don’t think the government has any clue about how to stop bullying. There is no need for parenting classes. Parents know how to deal with their children but they are banned from using the only tool that is likely to stop misbehaviour and that is smacking. I don’t mean beating the kid up especially if they are only 7 but giving them one smack that is hard enough that they will feel the pain but don’t suffer any long term damage. Here are my proposals:
1. Bring back smacking. If the parent refuses to smack their child and their child continues to bully other children and misbehave then they should be sent to parenting classes paid for by them.
2. Free education is not a right. It is a privilege. Parents should be made to realise that. If they fail to stop their children from continuously misbehaving in school the child should lose their right to a free education until the child signs a contract on their behaviour. If they breach that contract they will lose free education forever. There will be no appeals allowed. Only the Minister of Education will be allowed to overturn the ruling.
3. Once losing free education there will be no need for child benefit unless they are sent to a private school paid out of their own pocket. If they can’t afford one it is tough. Seeing as they lose child benefit the child will be allowed to find a job if they want.
4. Teachers will be allowed to hit unruly pupils if they fail to behave after being asked once.
Human shields thwart Israel
The Israelis are far too merciful when dealing with terrorist scum. Yesterday it was reported that they called off a planned air attack on a house in Jabaliya refugee camp in
Today they announced they are reviewing their advanced warnings after that incident. Good on them too. You don’t tell terrorists what you are going to do and you certainly don’t call it off when they get terror sympathisers to be human shields. You blow up their houses with all the human shields.

Fatties to cost NHS £1.6 million
Dangerously obese children will be entitled to stomach-stapling surgery on the NHS, it was reported last night.
Procedures including stomach-stapling would be offered to children who would otherwise stand a high risk of developing cancer, diabetes or heart conditions.
The newspaper says that children with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 40 would be eligible for NHS-funded operations that typically cost £8,000. A normal BMI measure is between 18 and 25.
It is thought that between 50 and 200 teenagers a year may have their stomachs stapled if the guidelines are accepted.
So the tax payer may have to dish out £1.6 million because of lazy bastards who refuse to exercise or eat healthily? Where are the parents? Why aren’t they feeding their children healthy food and giving them time limits on watching TV and playing on computers?
The parents should be responsible for their children’s health. If they get diabetes or other obesity related conditions the parents should be forced to pay for the full cost of the treatment, whether they are poor or not. It is not the business of the state to bail people out just because they can’t control their behaviour. The only things the state should do is make students over a certain BMI have to take PE for 2 hours per day everyday until they are down to a healthy weight and also have healthy alternatives at lunch. The state should not get involved in anything else.

Blair caught lying to troops again

They will also be denied 12 Challenger 2 tanks, 14 Warrior armoured vehicles and four AS90 artillery guns - plus an extra 600-strong battalion of troops. So much for getting whatever they need.
This is yet another example of the utter contempt he has for
Injustice
From the BNP site:
A very unpleasant story this afternoon from our SE England Regional Organiser - a story that is typical of these debased times and one that should have the blood boiling in the veins of every true Briton!
Yet another injustice against our people.
In the BNP we are used to some horrendous stories of injustice and prejudice against the indigenous population but what follows beggars belief!
The story starts in the first week of October when there was rioting in the Dedworth area of
With this heightened tension, the spark that ignited the rioting was when a 15-year old boy was assaulted by young adults from the centre. His sister went to remonstrate with them and she was physically assaulted and her car wrecked, over £3,000 of damage was done by Muslim males wielding iron bars and baseball bats.
By an extraordinary coincidence the mother of the brother and sister happened upon the scene as she was walking their dog. She too was assaulted!
Police reluctant to act!
Initially, the police declined to take any action at all. When pressed they condescended to take notes and report it, but not as a racially motivated incident. They informed the two females that, as they could not recognise their assailants - there was nothing they, the Police, could do!
After a period of weeks, and once the situation had calmed down, at the request of our local members we leafleted the area. There were 34 activists out, and such was our reception, that we were being stopped on the street and asked for leaflets. To date we have had over 100 enquiries and membership applications – as recently reported on by the British National Party’s Regional Voices.
Cries for help from public
However, what was particularly disturbing was that within hours our help line was receiving calls, mainly from elderly women who just wanted someone to talk to and to listen to their fears and problems. In some cases I was on the phone to individuals for over an hour reassuring them that we would be able to help if there was more trouble and just to call the number. Interestingly, none of the callers wanted to talk to their local councillors because they felt betrayed by them, that their fears were not understood and that they would be dismissed as `racist`!
Last week I received a rather strange call on the help line from a close friend of a person who had been charged with an offence under our oppressive race laws, requesting a meeting and the help of the BNP.
Ex-serviceman with disturbing tale to tell
I duly arrived at the appointed time and place and met the close friend. The person I was due to meet eventually arrived well over an hour and half late and carrying a plastic bag with some items in it.
I was then told the most strange and disturbing story:
The person I met was a male, obviously not well and aged, I thought, about 60. Three days after the assaults and after playing darts in the local pub, having had a large number of beers he was walking home and his route took him past the scene of the assaults. As he did a reporter came out of the shadows and accosted him, asking him what his feelings were about the incident. In rather robust and salty language he replied that he had fought them in
Others came out of the shadows and promptly arrested him, kept him in a police cell and eventually charged him with a `race` crime!
As I have said, the man was obviously unwell and yet he told me that the police had denied him his medication, despite his requests for such, for a considerable period of time.
Exemplary history of service to our country
Now we come to the most appalling and disgraceful part of this story.
The man is actually aged 44, has spent 24 years in the Army and is broken by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - for which he is on constant medication. He is managing to hold down a job in security with the MoD.
His Army career included 4 tours of
He has an exemplary record and has never been in trouble.
By the most bizarre coincidence he also happens to be the father of the two youngsters assaulted and the estranged husband of the assaulted woman! And, as he was walking past the scene, he was thinking of what had previously happened there when he was accosted by the reporter.
Ex-soldier charged under Race Act
He has now been charged and is due to appear in Court on 20th December. He cannot even begin to think about Christmas as he is worried sick about what is going to happen to him and, as he was telling me all this, he was close to tears.
He then told me that only 5 days previously he was at the Remembrance Service standing proudly in his Sunday Best, wearing his Medals and remembering the mates he had lost. At this point he burst into tears, threw his medals across the floor, and asked why no one cared about him when he had given his life and health to the service of his country?
What could I say! I was nearly in tears myself, as I am whilst I write this.
How a person, an old soldier be treated like this? What is our country coming to?
Why did the Police not console him, take him home and make him a cup of tea?
My promise to him was that I would do all I could.
We need to publicise this nationwide.
We need to demonstrate outside the Court.
We need to make sure that those in authority responsible for this travesty are held to account!

A Christmas poem
Just got this in my email:
*PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favour of sending this to as many
people as you can?
Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our service men
and women for
our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small
way to pay a tiny bit of
what we owe.
Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who
sacrificed themselves for us.

*/A Different Christmas Poem/** *
*
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." *
*"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died in France on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "1941 That's a Christmas 'Gran always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the Falklands one year, *
* My Mum fought away a tear that we could enjoy some Christmas cheer,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
Carrying out my duty with pride as a man.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... the British flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life to protect my brother.
We stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you do,
For being away from that you hold to be true.
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us." *
Health nazis strike
SMOKING in public looks to be banned on
I am against this ban and I don’t smoke. The government has no business telling people what they can and can’t do in pubs unless they are the ones that own all the pubs in
If people don’t like other people smoking in the pub that they also drink in they can leave. They do not have to stay there. They are the ones who are putting their own health at risk by staying there. If you are about to be run over by a car you jump out of the way. That is common sense.
If you want to stop people smoking the government should try a different way like making people pay for their own healthcare if they have a smoking related illness afterall why should the public pay for problems that you caused yourself? People should be forced to take care of themselves on not rely on the state to bail them out all the time.
Dutch doing a Blair?
Dutch Muslims have criticised a government proposal to ban women from wearing the burqa or veils which cover the face in public places.
Dutch Muslim groups say a ban would make the country's one million Muslims feel victimised and alienated.
The Dutch cabinet said burqas - a full body covering that also obscures the face - disturb public order and safety.
The decision comes days ahead of elections which the ruling centre-right coalition is expected to win.
And I thought they were doing it because they actually believe in banning it but it sounds to me that they are doing a Blair and lying to us to get more votes. I would be a good thing if they did ban it but I doubt it.
Muslims should also realise that it is not their society. If they want to wear their religious dress they should go to the first savage sand kingdom that they can get to.

Council tax
Why should the elderly like Richard Fitzmaurice be sent to prison for refusing to pay council tax when the elderly cannot afford it. Surely there is another way other than taxing 10.4 million pensioners into poverty?
Wouldn’t a local sales tax be much better in funding local services? Or an even better idea would be to allow the local councils to think up ideas on how to raise taxes. If they want to raise tax the young and leave the elderly or vice versa why not let them? If they want a flat income tax why not let them?

Drug addicts get payout from government
The Government was accused of "caving in" over drugs yesterday following the disclosure that the Home Office is about to pay out tens of thousands of pounds to prisoners because they were forced to stop taking heroin or other opiates in jail.
They alleged breaches under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which bans torture and inhuman or degrading treatment; Article 8, which protects private life; and Article 14, which prohibits discrimination.
David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said the decision to settle stemmed from the Government's desire to avoid the embarrassment of being defeated by its own Human Rights Act, which incorporates the convention into English Law.
Once you commit a crime you should forfeit all your human rights. The only human right you should be allowed is the right to stay alive and that should be taken away from you if you kill or rape anyone.
The spineless cowards in government should have stood up to the criminals and told them to stuff their rights and as for the Human Rights Act it should be ripped to shreds as no foreign law should be part of British law. We should have our own constitution.
I'm back!
I have finished the part of the coursework that needs to be handed in tomorrow so I am free to start blogging again. No doubt I will have a deadline for another part of the coursework next week and the week after but hopefully I should be able to get it done at college but blogging may be infrequent for the next few weeks.
Taking a break from blogging
Sorry to regular readers. I have no choice but to take a break from blogging. I should be back on Wednesday. On Tuesday I have to hand part of my coursework in for A2 Applied Business Studies.
Tomorrow is my Birthday and it looks like I will have to work for a few hours on that day (not working on it for 10 hours on my birthday).
I have already written 35 pages and I am not even half way through yet which is weird because last year my average number of Business studies coursework pages was in the 30s. Eventhough I have to hand part of it in I still won’t be completely finished but it is unlikely I will have to work 6-10 hours per day after college like I did in my first year.
Wish me luck!

More terror attacks coming soon
Hundreds of young British Muslims are being radicalised, groomed and set on a path to mass murder, the head of MI5 said yesterday.
In a stark public warning, Dame Eliza ManninghamBuller, the Director-General of MI5, revealed that the Security Service’s caseload had risen by 80 per cent since January and now involved about 30 “Priority 1” plots.
It has identified 200 terrorist networks involving at least 1,600 people, many under the direct control of al-Qaeda leaders in
“More and more people are moving from passive sympathy towards active terrorism through being radicalised or indoctrinated by friends, families, in organised training events here and overseas,” she said. “Young teenagers are being groomed to be suicide bombers.”
If we know about them why aren’t our security services actively assassinating them? If I was in charge all of those 1,600 would be assassinated, bugger the lawsuits and the consequences. Protecting the public is far more important than the possibility of being sued.
The deaths would of course have to look as much like an accident as possible in case there were some terrorists we didn’t know about (they are unlikely to know more than 1 terror network) and in case their children want revenge in the future by turning to terrorism.
FREEDOM!
As most of you will know by now Nick Griffin and Mark Collett have been found innocent on all charges.
Mr Griffin, of Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales, was found not guilty on a charge of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred and an alternative charge of using words or behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred. Mr Collett was found not guilty on four similar charges.
"Something's just happened to show Tony Blair and the government toadies in the BBC that they can take our taxes, but they cannot take our hearts, they cannot take our tongues and they cannot take our freedom," Mr Griffin declared.
Mr Collett, a former
“They cannot take our freedom” sounds a lot like what William Wallace said in Braveheart. I don’t know if he actually said it when he was alive or it’s just something that was added into the film but like William Wallace and many others Nick is fighting for freedom. It may not be the type of freedom that Nick is fighting for but I am sure that if William Wallace was alive today he would completely support Nick and Mark.
GOOD LUCK!
Tomorrow is the day when free speech is either squashed forever or it begins a new and stronger life. Tomorrow is judgement day when Nick Griffin and Mark Collett are either found guilty or innocent.
Good luck Nick and Mark. I hope everything turns out for the best and you both are found innocent.
Conservatives try conning people over immigration
DAVID Davis is to signal a major shift in Tory immigration policy by calling for a significant cut in the number of foreign workers coming to the
The Shadow Home Secretary will demand an annual limit on the influx of economic migrants from outside the EU.
Mr Davis told the Daily Express: “We need to rebuild confidence in the immigration system to relieve community tension.
“This is not about appearing tough, it’s about being sensible.”
It calls for the Government to set an annual limit on migrant workers after consultations with business, local councils and other organisations.
This is the most retarded thing I have ever read. Talk about conning the electorate.
They talk about putting a limit on immigrants from outside the EU but disregard the fact that most of our immigrants come from the EU, we have 1.5 million at the moment which is set to grow another 600,000 when Romania and Bulgaria enter the EU. What is the use of setting a limit when 600,000 will enter anyway?
How is this “being sensible”?
Even if they do stick a limit on the number it will be broken by EU migrants and we can’t do anything about EU migrants unless we leave the EU.
It’s a con. Simple as that!
Most racial crime victims are WHITE
The media are finally acknowledging what the BNP have been saying for years, that most victims of racial crimes are WHITE.
The most recent analysis shows that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities (BME) said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. In the same period, 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim.
Focusing on violent racial attacks, 49,000 BME were victims. Among whites, the number was 77,000.
Of those that involved wounding 4,000 were BME. Among the white population it was 20,000.
If most victims are the majority then that means minorities are committing the majority of racial crimes.

Bishop criticises Muslims
Here was me thinking that the church has surrendered to the forces of multiculturalism and then Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of
He criticised many Muslims for their “dual psychology”, in which they desire both “victimhood and domination”.
In the most outspoken critique of Muslims by a church leader, Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, said that because of this view it would never be possible to satisfy all their demands.
“Their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims, as in Bosnia or Kosovo, and always wrong when the Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists, as with the Taliban or in Iraq,” said Nazir-Ali.
“Given the world view that has given rise to such grievances, there can never be sufficient appeasement and new demands will continue to be made.”
What an unusual display of sincere honesty from a member of the Church. It’s just a pity he won’t be doing anything to stop it like joining a political party like the BNP.
Nick Griffin said far less than what that Bishop said and he is on trial for it. Will the bishop be put on trial?

Is there a lawyer in the house?
I have a few questions for those lawyer types.
At present you can only stand for election when you reach the age of 21 but recently the government has passed the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees, trainees or job seekers because of their age and ensure that all workers, regardless of age, have the same rights in terms of training and promotion.
Technically someone running to be an elected official is a job seeker so therefore if someone who was running to be an elected official was under 21 and they were banned from running it would surely mean that is illegal and that person under the age of 21 can sue the government?
Does anyone know if the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations nullifies the law on the age of candidates at elections? If not, why not?

The intifada intensifies
Symbols of the French state French state, including policemen, firemen and postmen, are under intensified attack from disaffected youths as the country faces the worst race relations crisis in its history.
Hardly a night passes without gangs — many of them from immigrant families — attacking police cars, buses and emergency rescue teams.
Yesterday, the weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur published a confidential report drawn up by a public service trade union, the CGT, containing scores of eye-witness accounts of brutal attacks on public servants who work in the worst suburbs, or "banlieues", from gas board workers to staff from the electricity company.
Its publication follows the revelation that attacks on police have soared this year, with some 14 a day, and a growing number of incidents in which officers have been lured into ambushes.
This has prompted a warning that the day
The CGT report painted a graphic picture of violence: blocks of cement dropped on paramedic crews; washing machines pushed off balconies on to fire engines; electricity company agents too scared to cut off customers who have not paid bills, after being attacked with knives, guns and fists.

There would be refugees of course that would flood out because they wouldn’t want to be killed. Those that rush out would be held in holding camps indefinitely. Those that stay will have their electricity and gas cut off with nothing going in for 2 weeks so that means no food. The army would then be sent in to restore order if it needed to be restored and round up everyone still living there and taking them to the holding camps.
Those in the holding camps would be told they can leave whenever they want but cannot live in
Those that choose to stay will face a lengthy investigation to see if they had taken part in any criminal activity. If there isn’t anything found they will be let go.
That is an extreme policy but those immigrants seem to think they can do anything they want.

If the breakdown of the family is the reason then we obviously need to do something to keep the family together and build a better life around the community.
My suggestions:
1. Harder to get divorces
2. When divorces do happen no money will change hands. You will leave the marriage with as much money and assets as you entered unless it was the other partner’s fault.
3. A tax cut if you live with your children and the other parent of the child.
4. Priority council housing for families with children
5. Free youth clubs
6. Free trips organised by the local council during the summer holidays for all the family. If all the family don’t attend then they have to pay if they want to go.
I can’t think of anything else. Anyone got any suggestions?

Police figures for the worst-affected areas show one in ten of all those arrested have come to the UK from the eight former Soviet states which joined the EU in 2004 - sending a massive wave of 600,000 immigrants flocking to this country.

I don’t have the figures for 2005 but in 2004 there were 5.6 million incidents of crime, which means that foreigners commit 560,000 crimes
According to official figures there are 1.5 million immigrants in this country. Lets say that crime decreased to 5 million and 500,000 of it was done by immigrants (to make it easier for me). This would mean that for every 3 immigrants there is a crime committed.

Labour to punish the poor
Got this from Dizzy Thinks:
Brown and Miliband are planning to tax the poor off the road with plans for "a substantial increase in vehicle excise duty for higher-emissions vehicles" according to a leaked document in this morning's Mail on Sunday. The document, from Miliband to Brown, outlines a number of areas where the intention is to heavily tax everyone in an attempt to make them more environmentally friendly. It's not so much a stick as a baseball bat, and there is no carrot. Key proposals are:
Why does every problem have to be solved through tax? If anything there should be lower taxes. Some problems can be partly ‘solved’ through tax but if you want to reduce global warming then you have to do things that matter.
Here is what I would do:

As planes have a lot of emissions something would be done about plane journeys. At the moment our skies are overcrowded with planes. With one policy I could change all that.
I would put a limit on the amount of plane journeys over
Seeing as how aeroplanes can have hundreds of people I estimate that the plane companies would purchase each journey for around £1000 which isn’t a lot if there are hundreds of customers per journey. This would give the treasury an extra £100 million atleast but it is bound to be more.
The auctions would be held every year.
The companies would then pass the cost on to the customer (if it is £1000 per journey for the aeroplane company it isn’t going to be much) and if it got expensive customers may decide to use other forms of transport.
I would then put £3 tax on every plane seat on every journey which would get the plane ticket even higher but not too high.
I would then scrap VAT on ferry/boat tickets and channel tunnel tickets for about a year to encourage people to use those to go abroad.
I would scrap VAT on energy saving light bulbs and renewable energy and low polluting products like low polluting cars, solar panels, double glazing and loft insulation.
This would discourage flying and may even encourage people from this country to holiday in this country more as it would be cheaper.

Abolition of Parliament bill is back...
Remember the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill or the Abolition of Parliament bill as it was affectionately known? If you don’t I covered it 8 months ago here.
I thought it had all died down but apparently it hasn’t. It is now in its final stages in the Lords and it is worse than ever.
The bill will drastically reduce parliamentary discussion of future laws. The bill gives ministers power to alter any law passed by Parliament.
Instead of a full day’s debate on the principle of the proposal, detailed line-by-line examination in committee, a second chance at specific amendment in the Commons and a final debate and vote, ministers will have to face at most a short debate in a committee and a one-and-a-half hour debate on the floor. Frequently the Government will face less than that. No amendments will be allowed. The legislative process will be reduced to a game of take-it-or-leave-it.
Any body created by statute, including local authorities, the courts and even companies, might find themselves reorganised or even abolished. Since the powers of the House of Lords are defined in Acts of Parliament, even they are subject to the Bill.
Carrying ID cards could be made compulsory, smoking in one’s own home could be outlawed and the definition of terrorism altered to make ordinary political protest punishable by life imprisonment. Nor will the Human Rights Act save us since the Bill makes no exception for it.
The Bill, bizarrely, even applies to itself, so that ministers could propose orders to remove the limitations about two-year sentences and taxation.
Yesterday the House of Lords voted to make the Bill safer, and lost, by just 13 votes.
There'll be a final vote this Thursday.
Dark Heretic has something on how we can stop it here
Paris erupts in minor skirmishes and bus burning
Minor skirmishes were reported in the French capital
An additional 4,000 officers had been deployed and six were injured in fighting and 25 people were arrested.
"It was a relatively calm night," a police spokesman was quoted by news agency AFP.
In the latest incidents, at least two more buses were set on fire.
What exactly would the BBC class as moderate skirmishes? BBC bias strikes again.
I laughed when I read "It was a relatively calm night,”. What is a normal night like if that was a calm night?
Labour to raise taxes on alcohol?
Tax on alcohol should rise to reduce binge drinking among teenagers, Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt has said.
Why does Labour think tax will solve everything? If they don’t want binge drinking why have 24 hour drinking?
You know the drill everyone. It’s now time for my suggestions.
First tax on alcohol should be lowered, most of the time. At the moment £3.75 billion in tax revenue are lost to alcohol and tobacco smuggling. I don’t think we can stop this solely through policing and using customs. We should lower out tax on alcohol and tobacco to 5% above the European average. This would simply make it unprofitable for smugglers to go abroad to buy alcohol. Those that bought off smugglers would then have no choice but to buy from retailers. We could then experiment with legalising people bringing in alcohol and we could then downsize Customs and Excise which would save us further millions of pounds.
The majority of people are sensible drinkers. I don’t see why they should have to suffer tax increases.
Most people who binge drink are people who go night clubs and drink through the early hours of the morning. I am in favour of tax to partly solve the problem of binge drinking here but the taxes have to be variable (I seem to like a lot of variable-type policies).
Tax would increase to 10% above the level that they are right now after
There is a second part to dealing with this too. If people harm themselves while drunk and have to go to hospital they will be made to pay the full cost of their hospital treatment. While this wouldn’t work in the short term it would catch on in the long term because in the short term those that regularly get drunk will think nothing will happen to them and will drink anyway but when they start paying a lot more money to the NHS if they are injured a lot they will think about what they are doing.
My proposal would save a lot of money as Customs and Excise could be downsized as we wouldn’t need them for alcohol and tobacco which I think is their biggest job at present. The NHS would save money because those that injure themselves would have to pay for themselves and would not be entitled to free healthcare for that particular injury. Alcohol misuse among all age groups is estimated to cost the NHS £1.7bn a year.
I estimate that with these proposals I could save £2 billion per year (without taking into effect the alcohol tax) as well as cut binge drinking to a less serious level.

Islamofascists lose in Denmark
A court ruled on Thursday that a Danish newspaper did not libel Muslims by printing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that unleashed a storm of protests in the Islamic world.
Seven Danish Muslim organisations brought the case, saying the paper had libelled them with the images, which included one depicting the Prophet with a bomb in his turban, by implying Muslims were terrorists.
This is a victory for freedom and a defeat for the islamofascists who want to impose their will on an unwilling majority.
If muslims don’t like our ways they don’t have to live here.
Minimum wage and benefits
All this week I have been watching 18 Doughty Street which is an online tv station. Unfortunately I have missed the week it started and have been catching up by watching the archives.
I think
I just finished watching their film on minimum wage and was astonished to find what people on benefits could get so I have decided to write what I would do to change the benefits system. I will also be doing blog entries on other things they mention in other shows.
Minimum wage has something to do with it and by now my readers will probably know what my policy on minimum wage is but you can read it here. Basically there would be a variable minimum wage in each city as the cost of living is different in each city.
One of the hosts was from
The next bit of the programme was on benefits. Firstly unemployment benefit and the fact that many people are far better off on these benefits. This has to end. I once believed that there should be a limit on the amount of time you could claim benefit for. Infact that is what one of the presenters argued for. I no longer believe that, instead we should strengthen the financial position of the lower paid.
At the moment the unemployed get their rent and council tax paid for while the low paid who don’t earn much more than those on benefits have to pay this. People who work and are low paid should get subsidised rent. They should still have to pay rent but there rent should be 50% less than those that are paid a lot. Something should be done about council tax too. I think council tax should be made into a flat tax and anyone earning below a certain level should not have to pay. The limit would need to be variable just like the minimum wage.
The unemployed also use their benefit to buy things that are luxuries like cigarettes and alcohol. This has to stop. Benefit money should only be used so you can survive. Instead of money being given to the unemployed they should receive tokens instead that can be redeemed for food, clothes, electricity, gas, water and other thing that may be needed. Tokens would be given costing a certain amount and would not be redeemable for things like alcohol and cigarettes. If you want them get a job.
This would get the unemployed out looking for work as no one wants to just ‘live’. They want to enjoy themselves. Tokens would stop people enjoying themselves on taxpayers’ money. They would not be able to go anywhere because they wouldn’t even have money for the bus unless the government deemed it necessary for them to have a bus pass so they could look for work.
The next bit of the 30 minute film focused on disability benefit. 10% of workers are now on disability benefit because apparently they can earn up to £40,000 per year including an allowance for their car. If they are on disability we should not be paying for their car. They don’t need it.
Those on disability should be split into three groups. Those in group 1 would be the most disabled. They are born disabled and cannot work at all. Those in group 2 would be those that have lost limbs or had serious illnesses that stop them from working like heart attacks and strokes. Those in group 3 are those that claim that they have injured themselves or cannot work for whatever reason like those alcoholics alcoholics and drugs addicts on incapacity benefit.
Those in group 1 would be given all that they need in cash and home help because they need it.
Those in group 2 would be given tokens and cash. 60% would be in cash and the rest in tokens. These would be helped back into part time employment if it is possible.
Those in group 3 would be given 90% tokens and 10% cash. Most of these are probably false anyway. In benefits they would get 20% less than they would get if they were working.
If we were going to do this we would obviously have to get rid of all the immigrants so wages weren’t driven down so people would feel that it was worth it to work.
Free speech trial delayed
The trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett has been delayed until 1st November because of ‘administrative reasons’ as the Court is full of cases.
The BNP thinks that it is a totally different reason. Here is what they say on the issue:
Whereas the motley crew that turn up to chant against Free Speech are benefit-scrounging lay-abouts, students skipping lectures, full time left wing union officials and professional “anti-racists” the vast majority of BNP supporters are full time employees holding down a job or self-employed business folk who struggle to get time off at short notice. Those who had planned to attend on Monday 30th would have made arrangements with their employers, clients well in advance.
I was planning to go there on Monday too. Looks like I will just have to stay off college on the Wednesday instead. *sigh*.
That day is going to be very close to bomb fire night. I can just see the reds having a load of fireworks or something similar and firing them at the BNP supporters.
Fighting the persecution of bloggers
A BNP supporter blogger has come under attack for supporting the BNP and has had a number of sites take his link down for that reason.
In the spirit of solidarity I will link to his blog in my links section and I urge everyone to do the same.
The blog is called Islamanazi. It is a pretty good blog.
The blog was taken down because apparently the BNP are anti-Semitic. That’s news to me and the Jews that are in the party including a Jewish councillor. You can read about it here.
