Compare And Contrast

 
Lady Justice-blind or braindead?


Two wonderful examples of British justice for us to ponder this weekend.

Man blows his nose and is fined £60 and has three points added to his driving licence.

Woman steals £1 million from her employers and walks away free and clear.

Reflections...

Today I begin my 49th trip around the sun.

The previous 48 trips were jam-packed (variously) with unbelievable joy, unutterable tragedy, family deaths, the births of my children, the love of my life, hate (often unwarranted-both from me and to me), adventure in 70 odd countries, learning, traversing every one of the range of human emotions, atheism, spirituality, learning, being poor, being rich, then being poor again, then realising that money has no import whatsoever, disappointments by the score, triumphs by the dozen, and yet more learning.

I am not, however, feeling morose. I tend not to worry too much about the things I can't change. That way lies futility. I was born an optimist. When I slipped out of the womb on that cold, dark January morning in 1962, in the kitchen of a council house in Salford, I thought "Bit nippy, but it's sure to warm up sometime". And it did. Then it got cooler. Then it warmed up again. This happened with amazing regularity. Back in the day, we called this phenomenon "The weather". Nowadays a bunch of thieving retards call it Climate Change and use it as an excuse to further relieve us of our lawfully gotten gains. Just days ago, the wheels came all the way off this particular band-wagon and hopefully, it will now die a natural death. Until they, the scamologists, come up with something new to terrify the unquestioning with. Bring it on, I say. Bloggers will trash whatever it is they dream up. We have form now. We have successes we can point to. Hide whatever shit you want, but it will be uncovered in the fullness of time.

I spent some time today watching that slick bastard Blair, and I have to say, he is good at this. He sounds plausible, the inquiry will agree, and he will skip off back to his multi-million pound job(s). Ho-hum. What else were you expecting?

The blogging community grew by one (to my certain knowledge) last night. I immediately linked to Marcellus because he writes brilliantly. We saw an example right here on Wednesday. I wish him all the best and welcome him to the madness.

The bloggers on the left all deserve my thanks. They are a remarkable bunch of people, and they strive to shine a light on the more murky aspects of our lives, and the freaks who wish to control us to the Nth degree. So, thank you for helping me to see more clearly on many issues. Issues that I may not have previously thought about, or at least, not in the way you do. Between you, you have changed my mind on a number of things. I am better for it.

I may or may not be here to announce my 50th trip around old Sol, you never know, given the risks that I take, (deliberately so), when it will all end. I have packed quite a lot into this first 4.8 decades and if I find myself crossing the River Styx, I will be fairly pleased with what I have seen, and what I have done with my life.

Of course, I would like to die peacefully in my sleep at 96 like my great-grandad, (not screaming, like the passengers in the back of his car. Boom, boom!), but that may not happen. I'll continue to do the only thing I can do-I will take it as it comes, and try to fit in a few more laughs before my last day arrives.

I am pleased to know you all (virtually, at least), and I thank the 25,000 of you that have struggled through my ramblings since April last year. Huge thanks to my regular readers, and commenters. Wthout feedback from you, this blogging lark would be oh so dull.

I want to make 2010 memorable in a host of ways and for a host of reasons.

And I plan to tell you all about it.

First Blood

Regular readers will recall that I started an offensive against HMRC (Her Majesties Revenue and Customs) late last year.

I am pleased to report that I won the first skirmish. I was issued late filing penalties to the tune of £300. I have just received a letter from HMRC saying that they have "...been reduced to £0.44p".  This is not, of course, momentous. I would guess that these late penalties are discretionary and that thousands of people see reductions every year. The champagne remains corked.

The major battle lies ahead. They say I owe them £4000. I disagree. I wrote asking to see the contract that they imagine is in place which allows them to extort money from me. I quoted several of their own statutes (remember: every statute must contain a remedy within it) and instructed them that I would be delighted to settle as soon as I saw said contract containing two wet signatures. I gave them a fair period in which to find this contract, or invent one, or bluff their way through. They failed to do so in the time alloted to them, so they are in dishonour, and I have gained estoppel by acquiescence. This is a mighty powerful thing in law. I have won already, but they may still lob a few grenades over the ramparts of Ranty Barracks. I am ready, I am dug in, and I also have several unused weapons that I can deploy.

To preempt their salvo, I also penned and posted a letter to them, quoting yet more of their own statutes, this time the statutes concerned genocide and financing an illegal invasion, and I anticipate a reply soon. I will update you on their reply whether it is good, bad or indifferent. (I suspect indifference will not be in their armoury).

Let's see what happens.

Why The Left Have Deliberately Degraded Our Society

This is a guest post by Marcellus.

Here is a story that the Mainstream Media do not wish to cover

People have completely misunderstood the Left. 

The Left do not want to improve society or make things work better.  On the contrary, they actively want to degrade the conditions of life to create chaos, dissatisfaction and hopefully disintegration so they can impose a “new society”.

This “new society” means the State having uncontrolled power over the individual.

To this end our society has been intentionally changed, corrupted and degraded by the Left.
                               
By their total control of broadcasting the Left has been presented as morally superior.  How silly, when in fact the Left is a totally malign force.  What wonderful words they spoke; but they never believed them.  Their activities are characterised by shameless deceit and corruption, and systematic lying.

Because of the total control of broadcasting by the Left, very few people have realised that a long, subtle campaign has been conducted against our society and way of life by the Left who have wanted to change this society irreversibly to their own structures against the wishes of the people.  This campaign is called the Project.

After the failure of the miner’s strike in the mid 1980s, the Left decided that English society was too strong, and too cohesive with traditions that were too deep. They realised that the people were too content for the Left to succeed with a forcible revolution to impose their new society on us.  That is why they spit out the name “Thatcher” with so much hate - because for a short while she thwarted their plans.

The Left never went away however, they simply changed tack.  They went into normal jobs, such as the media - particularly broadcasting - and as opinion-formers and columnists in the print MSM.  They decided to play a long game and undermine society from within so it would decay, and then they could move to impose their “new society”.  They never ever give up. 

In short, the English had to be made less content and comfortable.

So although the Left have always talked the language of fairness, compassion, social justice and improving conditions for the under privileged, they were NEVER interested in making our institutions work or improving the living conditions of the people.  That was the very last thing they wanted.  They wanted more and more discontent.  They emphasised every division and grievance in society and created new ones all the time, not to cure them but to create more and more discontent and division to corrode our society.  They set group against group, fanning resentments.  They promoted anything that weakened society.  Now they emphasise and enhance ethnic divisions.  They always divide, never heal.  They destroy, never build.

I am not talking here about the enormous number of naïve, leftish people who consider themselves “better than” and like to wear a “Left” T-shirt because they are duped into believing the deceitful rhetoric of justice, equality and so on (“useful fools” as Stalin is reputed to have called them), but the leaders of the Left (in both the Labour Party and the LibDems), who are really wicked people and who will do anything to undermine the present order to impose the “new society” that their hard Left lecturers fired them up with at college during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Common Purpose is one of their main tools of quiet undermining, contamination and corrosion.  Do not underestimate this organisation.

In the early 1980s the Left was very much against the EEC (as was) as they thought that it would stop their intentions of being able to impose their views on the rest of us.  Blair’s election address during the 1980s showed he was very much against the EEC.  But then they realised that actually the hidden intention of the EEC - to destroy the existing societies of member states - was rather similar to their own, and so they abruptly changed in the mid 1980s and became true EEC believers.  The federal European project therefore became their project.  Anyone then against any part of the federal European project had to be silenced by the Left controlled media and was labelled mad and mentally ill.

All the dirty tricks of EEC, later the EU, to undermine our society were then added to their own dirty tricks to achieve the same aim.

Their first aim was to take over the broadcast news programmes.  They (including Mandelson) succeeded in doing this spectacularly well and from then on these programmes were used ruthlessly to promote the Project. 

    ●    Every tradition, every national icon, in fact all the glue that bound our society so happily had to be undermined. 

    ●    Decent responsible people had to be discouraged from taking any action. 

    ●    The confidence of the individual had to be shaken.  Uncertainty and fear was deliberately created by the introduction of unreasonable rules and unfair enforcement. 

    ●    By means of a target culture, all public services were corrupted and made to serve Labour’s PR needs and not the people.

    ●    All institutions had to be “modernised” even though they worked fine, to tear away all traditions and roots. 

    ●    All patriotism, all pride in our country, all positive role models from the past, all our history, customs and traditions were sneered at and degraded so no-one could speak of them in a positive way.

"To destroy a people you must first sever their roots.”

                    Alexander Solzhenitsyn

There was a completely successful secret campaign to undermine our society, our culture, our institutions, our traditions.  Peter Hitchens, himself a former communist, is well aware of the inside story here and of this campaign, and has written about it recently in a piece on ConHome.

This culminated in the audacious plan to even change the people of England who were so awkward.  The aim was to deliberately destroy social cohesion - at whatever cost in human misery.  Nothing less than cultural genocide. “The Final Solution to the English Problem”.  Together with the support of the EU - who have the same aim - they embarked on a massive immigration plan using on the one hand the decency and tolerance of the English people and on the other hand their control of the broadcast media to brand anyone who objected as a racist. It was brilliant and supremely successful. 

Interesting that both Labour and the LibDems reject any cap on immigration and that the LibDems have even called for an amnesty for illegal immigrants.

The strength of our society has always been its social cohesion and with this we have seen off all invasions for over 1000 years.  This social cohesion has now been broken.  Deliberately.

As the next stage in the imposition of the “new society” (the “post democratic age” as Mandelson calls it) our hard won civil liberties have been systematically and deliberately dismantled - to increase the power of the State.

The planning for the Project has been meticulous and detailed.  Each stage, or click of the ratchet, has been kept very small so that it is not frightening on its own, and always some fake high principled reason is given for it - but cumulatively the increase in the uncontrolled power of the State over the individual has been colossal.  Hitler used the same technique in the early 1930s.

This country is facing the most dangerous situation since 1940 and the job of the Labour controlled broadcast media is to send the people to sleep and stop them realising.  Doing it very well too.

Brown’s work whilst in power for 13 years has not been to improve the conditions of the poor who trusted his lies and sweet words (apart from doing enough to stay in power), but to facilitate the imposition of this “new society”. 

In this Brown has been a great success, as he has caused the most amazing and possibly irreparable damage, corruption and corrosion in every aspect of our society and in the lives of the people of this country - all done to impose the Project on the English.  As the pictures of that time show, he has never smiled so widely as the day he nationalised the Banks; that for once was a genuine smile.
                               
He has blighted the lives of countless millions of his own countrymen, simply to advance his own obsessions and interests.

Brown has been at the heart of this work, and he is a truly evil man.

Labour would not have survived nor would the Project have achieved all it has done in undermining our society, without the Left being able to control broadcasting. 

This has only been done because the key people who control broadcasting have been part of the Project.  They have planted their supporters in every position of power within all the news and current affairs programmes (and that is to say nothing about the subliminal messages given out in every soap and drama programme). These people must be removed from all positions of power and influence within broadcasting. 

The only hope for democracy in this country is to destroy the Left’s stranglehold on broadcasting.

This power has enabled them to corrupt our whole constitution.

If that control is left intact, there is no hope.

After a busy, tiring day’s work, people are very relaxed when they watch the TV and so when they hear the drip, drip, drip of Left opinions, agenda manipulation and misinformation they are in what amounts to a light trance.  This means the message of the programme is absorbed (and accepted) easier.  A gentle brainwashing.  Therapeutic hypnotism is really only different in the degree of trance.  This is a mighty power in the hands of anyone.

It is not acceptable in a modern, information-based democracy that a few unaccountable, unrepresentative, unelected, self-appointed placemen are allowed to control the most awesome, influential, mind-bending power in the history of mankind.  What are we thinking of, to allow such a situation to continue?  There can be no genuine and free democracy while this continues.

They control virtually all the political information that probably 85% of people get; what is mentioned and how it is presented.  They can manipulate it how they wish; and do so ruthlessly.

The astonishing power of broadcasting to influence political opinion is something completely new to our constitution and democracy.  Constitutional checks and balances developed over centuries are routinely sidestepped by this new phenomenon and have been rendered useless.

Broadcasting is now part of the political process, whether the broadcasters like it or not.

There is no democratic legitimacy authorising the people who currently control broadcasting and our information, to continue to do so.  They have simply been appointed by people who themselves were appointed . . . and so on.

If the Left's control of broadcasting is not destroyed, the broadcasters will destroy Cameron - however large his majority - and then the Left will be back again.

The first aim of our resistance to this process is therefore to destroy completely the monopoly power of Labour over broadcast news programmes.  Remember, there is no democratic control over these programmes - we get what they allow us to have.  This must change.

Control broadcasting, control the minds. 
Control the minds, control the country.

Therefore the key battleground of the fight against the Left is now over who controls broadcasting.  They know that - but the non-Left do not really understand it.

If the Left loses their monopoly over broadcasting - we have a chance.  If not, then our society is lost.

One way of doing this is to open up the broadcasting infrastructure (like BT) to many, many news providers.  This is an extension of localism.  There is much more that can also be done. 

It is not that it cannot be done, it is merely that there has not so far been the political will to do it.

However it is done, it must be done.

Scan THIS, Mothertrucker



Gordon Brown, and his fellow freedom removers, have upset millions in their desire to install the pervy scanners at airports.

More importantly, complaints have now been lodged with those folks over at the Equality and Human Rights Commission 

Have a peek:

John Wadham, Group Director Legal at the Equality and Human Rights Commission says:

“The Commission fully accepts the government’s responsibility to protect the safety and security of air travellers. The right to life is the ultimate human right and we support the government reviewing security in the light of recent alleged terrorist activity.
“However, the government needs to ensure that measures to protect this right also take into account the need to be proportionate in its counter-terrorism proposals and ensure that they are justified by evidence and effectiveness.”

The Commission is concerned that that the proposals to introduce body scanners are likely to have a negative impact on individual’s rights to privacy, especially members of particular groups including disabled people, older people, children, transgendered people women and religious groups. Under the Human Rights Act, any infringement of the right to privacy must be justified, necessary and proportionate."

But not men, apparently. Why do lady front gardens deserve less attention than a blokes dangle?

This will end badly for Gorgon & Co, but by the time they lose this case, they will all be dribbling in Homes for Ex-Politicians. They are solid on this: they lose almost all human rights abuse cases. It's the one thing they do well.

In the meantime, travellers will suffer the indignities, and the alleged fucked up DNA that this back-scatter technology is renowned for.

As a frequent flyer, though, my main reason for not wanting to leap in and out of these abominations is because....THEY DON'T FUCKING WORK!

For the record, I don't really mind some jobsworth locked away in a room with a gross of Kleenex looking at my winkie. But FFS, please make my embarrassment worth the inconvenience. These scanners cannot find bomb-making materials and another, less harmful method must be found.

This isn't about human rights for me, it's about doing the job properly and safely.
