Ruminating on the debacle that Sky have got themselves involved in regarding the 'LineswomanGate' scandal. It appears that all contentious issues that the PC brigade expound on have to have a 'Gate' somewhere in the title. Sky did an interview with Jon Gaunt and an Asian character by the name of Piara Powar, head of "Football Against Racism in Europe" ?? who continued with this line of 'What they said is unacceptable in a modern country...yadda yadda'. One of those professional opinionators who seem to prowl around TV studios all too willing to proffer their opinion on this wicked, hateful society we live in, their opinions gobbled up by news hungry studios all determined to be seen as on the right side. Let's be clear...Andy Gray comes across as a knowledgeable football pundit but a deficient human being and an unedifying man. A man for whom the phrase 'grow up' could have been specifically written. Misogyny seems to thread itself through and around him and his lifestyle. As a proud father of a daughter, the idea that her sex should get in the way of her achieving her ambitions is abhorrent. But the PC brigade have won. Now if you utter a single word or phrase that the likes of Mr Powar don't agree with, it can get you fined, sacked, and in the worst cases, imprisoned ! Yet still they're not happy, for these words were not uttered in public, but in a private conversation between two men that was secretly recorded. Not happy with controlling what you SAY they now want to make punishable what you THINK ! For all their bombast the two men involved are not stupid which was shown in their on-air interviews with the lineswoman involved. They were courteous and respectful. A woman, incidentally, who has now found herself embroiled in a controversy that she doesn't deserve or warrant.
And still the hyperbole continues with that champion of women's rights Rio Ferdinand...yes THAT Rio Ferdinand...now Tweeting away his disgust at these two men. I really DID choke when I read his protestations. And Sepp Blatter...yes THAT Sepp Blatter...the Sepp Blatter that advised women who wanted to improve the profile of women's soccer to wear tighter shorts!...voicing his disgust at these two reprobates. And then there's News International. The sanctimony emanating from Murdoch Towers would also resonate a bit more if it wasn't the purveyor of such newspaper titles as The Sun and The News of the World, both of which rely upon young women shaking various parts of their anatomy at us from various angles and in various states of undress. That men think certain sports are male dominated is true. Men invented the sports. We wrote the rules. Women will never be equal with men at a vast majority of professional sports played today. The physical differences between us will always stop that despite all protestations to the contrary. Men do view women differently. Equal but different. Because we are different.That men look at women and think naughty thoughts is not new. We do it ladies. We look at you legs when you walk in front of us. Your perfume DOES work it's magic. We do get light headed when you come close by. We're MEN. We're supposed to ! Now there is a world of difference between THINKING these thoughts and ACTING on them. To have uttered the rubbish that Gray and Keys did to this woman's face would be unacceptable. To have said these things between themselves is not...it's still rubbish, but it's freedom of speech ! I read this phrase today..."One key principle of civilised life as we know it has been overlooked in the sacking of the Sky football presenter Andy Gray: namely that we should never be punished for our private thoughts or private speech" Have we really lost the plot so much in our dealings with each other that this state of affairs should be allowed to continue ? The equality Laws have worked and now your sex doesn't stop you from achieving your dreams. Can the law now work so that individuals can think private thoughts and have private conversations without being held to account for every utterance ?

THE ENGLISH DEMOCRATS AND THE BNP SUPPORTER CONUNDRUM.
Get quite amused by the snooty attitude displayed by people who look down their noses at BNP supporters and shout unclean at them as if they’re medieval lepers. The BNP was formed over 30 years ago when there was no party that took seriously the massive changes that were being forced on us by mass immigration and the strain it was putting on civic cohesion and the public services of this nation. So we arrive at the 21st century and find to our dismay that this attitude of the Big Three continues, with record immigration taking place over the last decade, and not one of those three prepared to make the decisive changes to our immigration policy that might stem this seemingly endless tide that floods in from the Commonwealth, Europe and beyond. Despite promises made by ALL parties prior to the election, we all know it’s just to get your vote. Oh they know only too well the feelings of the vast majority of English people , but choose to ignore it or just plain lie, and the electorate, too stupid or gullible or polarised or apathetic, choose to stay away from the polls to show their disgust at a deeply flawed political elite who have succeeded in dumbing down those voters and installing such an aura of disgust with politics that they refuse to engage at all in the political system. This elite of British politics have infected the whole political system and the damage they have done seems irreparable. So these BNP voters turned to the only organised party that seemed offer them some hope. There was nobody else. Are they all racist ?..of course not. Trying to protect your culture doesn’t make you that. But after 30 years it’s obvious that the breakthrough so long predicted by the BNP and their supporters is not going to happen. For sure they occupy a couple of seats at the EU table but they have been isolated, marginalised and unable to influence any policy within it. For parties to influence British Politics you must gain Commons seats, a target for UKIP, BNP and us and one that we all have been spectacularly unsuccessful at ! The problem that both UKIP and the BNP have is the baggage they bring with them and their inability to accept the changing face of Britain that has occurred since devolution and the Scotland Act. UKIP is seen as the EU sceptic wing of the Tory party and will never cross that divide between Tory and Labour. The BNP will always be tarnished with the racist blood that infects it with their present leader Mr Griffin. He is inseparable from them and part of their DNA. Then there’s us. We attempt to cross that divide between different ideologies. To find common ground between the left and the right. Are we after the BNP vote ? A resounding YES from me. Like we are after the disaffected Tory, Labour and Liberal vote. Amazing that Margaret Hodge specifically, and on record, says that she is attempting to win back those that voted for the BNP in her constituency, but when another party intimates the same thing double standards apply ! The truth of the matter is we do offer a practical solution to our immigration problem that is accepted by all our members, white and black, left or right. That we should welcome ex-BNP supporters over to us I also have no doubt about. If they truly have had an epiphany and accept the reality of Britain today, why not ? To cast people out and turn your back on those people whose alternative would be to carry on voting in the same misguided way would be a mistake of monumental proportion. Confucious said ‘Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change’…Something we would do well to remember.

SO YOU WANNA' TALK ABOUT BIGOTRY DO YA ?

Where do we start. Baroness Warsi, another Asian British Muslim, is in the news today complaining of bigotry aimed at the Muslim community. If you really want to talk of bigotry love let's discuss the blatant, overt bigotry that is aimed everyday at Anglo-Saxon Englisc people shall we? Let's be clear...Asians, Africans and Muslims have played NO PART in the formation of this great nation of England. Black men did not stand at Senlac and view the Normans. Stories are not told of heroic achievements by ethnics on the battlefields of Agincourt or Crecy. There were not hordes of Muslims behind Wat Tyler when he marched on London. It wasn't some medieval Nelson Mandela that forced King John to sign Magna Carta. Henry Vlll didn't shack up with some brown skinned broad from Asia. Drake never called upon West Indians to repel the Armada. Beckett wasn't hacked to death under a minaret. Nelson didn't call upon a 'brother' to kiss him. The laws of this land were formed by the struggle of white Anglo-Saxon Englisc with an incalculable amount of influence by the Christian church. And we arrive at the 21st C and the English identity is expunged from the census form as irrelevant, rather like our race. Treated as second class citizens in our own land, but forced to listen to the interminable whining of every ethnic group about the terrible way they are treated in MY ENGLAND. That's bigotry! We open our doors too freely to the rabble of the world when we have enough of our own rabble to contend with. Full of rights but not full of responsibility. Let's be clear you cannot be black or brown and be English. English is an ethnicity. Just the same as you cannot be a white Ugandan or a white Indian. Don't bleat to me of racism. If you view the English becoming a minority in England by 2066 as an abomination then you are a Nationalist not a racist. There I said it. Don't kid yourselves anymore. Don't be frightened of protecting your culture for to lose it would be the crime. It's time we stopped fooling ourselves now. I don't care if the threat of suffocation of our race and nationality comes from Asia, Africa or Eastern Europe, the effect it has would be the same and that is to drown English culture or seek to dilute it to such an extent that it becomes indistinguishable. I'm not racist against another colour or race, for we all have our own country and culture that deserves the same protection, but Nationalistic and protective of my race against everyone who poses a threat to my national identity and culture, and the biggest threat at the moment is from Islam. It's an alien culture who's presence and influence has been accepted unchallenged for too long and it's about time that changed. What you are seeing Baroness is that being challenged by the English who appear to have had enough of the hypocrisy. Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim and it's about time you accepted that. Start behaving in a civilised manner befitting of the 21st C and don't seek to send my England back to the dark ages with your religion's ridiculous dress code, genital mutilation of young girls and treatment of women. If you can't, stop the self pity, and leave us to it. We managed for 1600 years before you came to our shores and we sure as hell can last another 1600 years without you !!

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE ?
In 1997 the voters of this land gave their response to the mismanagement of this country by a discredited Tory party and on a wave of euphoria voted in the fresh faced, dynamic New Labour under the then leadership of Tony Blair. 11 years later, Blair is forced out of office by a Scottish led cabal eyeing up the prize of running England so they can continue their destruction of the English identity and race whilst leaving their own identity intact. Blair’s Cabinet, which included Brown, Darling and the Milband brothers, had taken us into several wars with the subsequent loss of hundreds of British soldiers and thousands of foreign civilians and protagonists. At the head of this cabal was a deeply flawed politician, Gordon Brown, whose previous disastrous stewardship of the economy was now becoming apparent. He hands the reins to another Scotsman by the name of Alistair Darling who, with senior ministers around him including Ed Miliband, continued on this course of destruction and massive overspending, like a teenager with a credit card. So two years later and in the midst of a financial crisis of monumental proportions, in a large part bought on by the lax regulation of the financial sector by an inept Labour government, but supported enthusiastically by the Tory opposition, we arrive at a new election and the people of this nation vote to impose upon itself the same failed party and ideology that they had rejected 13 years previously.
" BEYOND PARODY. BEYOND SATIRE. BEYOND BELIEF "
But not quite. With a Cameron led Tory party, the lines between the both major protagonists is so blurred as to be all but indistinguishable despite the posturing and faux hooting across the floor of the commons. So a Tory party that should have waltzed into Downing Street has to cobble together a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. These Liberals, often derided as a posturing party sneering at all from the sidelines, maintaining that they would not surrender their principles for a glimpse of the highest prize. A Dowager Duchess of a party remembering their not so glorious past through rose coloured spectacles. But they had their principles didn’t they ? Ah but like all principles that our politicians hold they can be bought if the price is right. The promise of power was too great. The chance to enjoy the trappings and the chauffeur driven limousines…to attend the parties…to meet with the not so great and not so good…to be invited to Celebrity dancing competitions…but most of all to do what is their raison d’etre…to tie this country ever tighter to the web of deceit, lies and anti-democratic behaviour that is the EU. No wonder a sigh of relief went up in Brussels as they heard that their biggest friends could put off dissent. So we had the unedifying spectacle of Menzies Campbell saying on national television and without shame that the Coalition has agreed that Europe will NOT be an issue in the lifetime of this parliament.
None of the main parties escaped the embarrassment of the expenses scandal, which even drew in the leaders of the Big Three. Criminal charges were bought against members of the Labour party. Imprisonment for one with surely more to follow. Peers caught fiddling in that undemocratic affront to our country the Lords, with the consequence of them being suspended. Today another half a dozen MPs have been reported. And so it goes. We then get a chance to show this disgusting bunch of reprobates what we think of them. Surely they will be given their answer ? Surely the English Democrats, UKIP and the BNP can muster enough support to give these scoundrels a bloody nose ? Alas no. When the votes are counted on another cold night in Oldham we must stand there and watch as another smug Labour apparatchik lauds a ‘great victory’ with the congratulations of Miliband ringing in her ears. The fact that she achieved less than 20% of the electorate’s trust, is somehow that endorsement, is seen by them as a victory for democracy, and ‘the voters of Oldham have sent a sound rebuke of the coalition policies’! Beyond parody. Beyond satire. Beyond belief. I received an E-mail from a UKIP friend thankful that his party had saved their deposit. Another from a BNP friend stunned that their vote had fallen. And to us. We had a great candidate. A man with a trade Union background. A local man. A man with so much energy and a supportive family and deeply committed friends who would get out there. And they did, leafleting and protesting. Denied entry to the Hustings he stood outside with a loud hailer demanding to be heard. Nobody could have tried harder. But he hadn’t reckoned on the tribal-ness of politics or, let’s be honest, the stupidity of voters in this dumbed down, celebrity obsessed society. That we did so bad is not a reflection of him. That denial of an equal measure of publicity from the media played a massive part. Funding came into it for even the bottomless pit of money that UKIP can draw on, and don’t forget they received a £5 million boost just prior to this election, just saved them their deposit. The huge number of activists that the BNP can muster counted for little. We failed. The message is not getting across and if it is it doesn’t seem to be of sufficient concern to English people to make them change their voting patterns. You speak to people and they agree with you on the issues. Most, even today, are unaware of devolved issues and their impact upon English voters, but when this impact is explained their incredulity turns to anger. Our stance on Europe gets overwhelming support. Our call for an end to mass immigration is enthusiastically received. It’s not about personalities of certain individuals. It’s us as a party. Deeply depressing week that has knocked me for six. Quite how UKIP responds after nearly 20 years of being a political party, and the BNP even longer, I don’t know ? Where WE go from here I don’t know, and it may be that time will take away this humiliation, for that’s what it was make no mistake. I have my own views on the road we should take. But that’s for another time.
