Just To Clarify My Views On Israel…
That’s the fascist, zionist, genocidal Israeli state.
Not the Israeli people, be they Jews, Christians, Muslims or secularist, nor any of the innocent citizens that inhabit that troubled land. I condemn the evil war criminals that comprise the Israeli government and conduct the attempted 21st century final solution on Palestine. The thieves, renegades, child abusers and despots that oppress the Palestinian people, occupy their land, destroy their homes, traduce the very humanity of man.
We intervene against Hitler, Hussein, Gaddafi yet we allow the Israeli state to continue, we even support it.
Unbelievable!
That’s the word that sums up the Olympics for me. It’s what we heard the athletes saying again and again. It’s what their performances amounted to. It was the enthusiasm and support of the crowd. It’s what was achieved in grand style by those who organised and ran this extraordinary celebration of human endeavour.
One of my most vivid memories will be of switching on the television for the news each morning at 7.00am, then finding the tears streaming down my face even before I’d properly woken up. As each of the previous day’s triumphs were relived so the heroes were paraded on the breakfast TV sofa. Also, as I’ve travelled to the country on several occasions I was so, so proud for Jamaica. I can just imagine how their sprinters’ achievements were celebrated at home. I am in huge admiration of the respect that Usain Bolt and Johann Blake showed for other countries’ national anthems, even stopping TV interviews when the flags were raised. Both of them also sang their own anthem with unashamed pride, something I wish more of our athletes had managed.
Britain is truly great. The games and our achievements at them prove that. We exceed every reasonable expectation that we could have of ourselves. That is why we have such a proud history, why we are the leaders that we continue to be and why we hold a place in the world out of all proportion to our size and resources.
That our athletes and those who train and organise them can achieve so much sheds a very harsh light on those that now run our government and economy. Today we are let down by leaders who are pygmies compared to the giants that have made Britain great.
The British people can achieve the unbelievable. All we need are the leaders to show us the way. If we replaced the 29 members of the cabinet with our 29 gold medal winners I think we might do far better.
Public Enemy No 1
General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Service Union, Mark Serwotka
I’m no fan of the coalition but as far as I’m concerned this idiot is in the same category as Bob Diamond and Simon Harwood.
He’s someone who the entire country would be better off without.
It’s a huge embarrassment to me that he speaks with a Welsh accent.
PC Simon Harwood, Killer Of Innocent Ian Tomlinson Acquitted!
Killer
In a decision that disgraces the British judicial system and will reverberate through our society with deeply destructive consequences, the brutal police killer of a sick old man has been set free.
Harwood killed Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protest in London in April 2009. In an entirely unprovoked and unjustifiable attack he struck Tomlinson from behind with his baton and then pushed him viciously to the ground. Tomlinson died moments later from internal bleeding.
Ian Tomlinson with Harwood behind him about to deliver the fatal blow.
This decision, although apparently taken by a jury, is unbelievable and must call into question the whole trial. Millions saw Harwood’s brutality with their own eyes on video recordings of the incident and simply will not accept this perversion of justice. Harwood has a history of violence and corruption and he must be brought to justice.
This will further damage the reputation of the police and increase the ever-widening gap between law enforcement and the public.
My deepest sympathy goes to Ian Tomlinson’s family who have suffered enough only to have this further abuse foisted upon them. This is not over yet.
Incompetence Is Normal At The Home Office
Theresa May
Theresa May and James Brokenshire must go. The absolute disgrace, the shambles over Olympics security should see them both on the dole tomorrow.
Ms May is the most empty-headed minister I have known in my lifetime. Where she came from, why she has reached such high office, what skills or value she has brought to government is a mystery.
James Brokenshire
Brokenshire is the nastiest, most vicious and unpleasant junior minister ever. He’s an ex-banker and has held charge over the government’s delusional, head in the clouds drugs policy with exactly the arrogance and irresponsibility that suggests. He sank to the nadir of his career when he claimed that the adulteration of street cocaine had reached record levels and this was a huge success. This in the full knowledge that the Serious Organised Crime Agency records the adulterants used in cocaine are more harmful than cocaine itself.
If there is a war on drugs then Brokenshire is a war criminal.
Both of them are worse than useless.
False Accusations Of Racism Should Be A Criminal Offence
John Terry
It’s a crime to use racist or homophobic abuse. The concomitant of that should be that it is a crime falsely or maliciously to accuse someone of racism or homophobia.
I don’t know John Terry, and I have just about zero interest in football but I know what it’s like to be falsely accused of racism. The scum of the earth that indulge in such abuse are exactly the same as those who falsely cry rape. They should go to jail for just as long as the sentence for the crime they falsely allege.
I’ve had long term relationships with both black and asian women and I have lots of friends of all different races but it doesn’t matter what the facts are, if some oik chooses to endlessly repeat a false allegation of racism there is nothing you can do about it. This is unjust and unfair. If it’s a hate crime to be racist then it’s a hate crime falsely to accuse someone of racism.
The House of Parties
Parties with our money, our goodwill, our trust and our faith in the promises they make.
That’s the way the political oligarchs want to turn our House of Lords. I recommend the Telegraph View.
In the disguise of reform, the coalition proposals, with the connivance of Tory, LibDem and Labour politicians, seek to convert the second chamber into a party-driven sham which they can quickly abolish as an anachronism and unnecessary. They will call it a cost saving measure. Then the oligarchs will have triumphed completely.
I agree that the House of Lords makes no sense on paper but on the evidence, on its record, thank God we have it. The intelligence, disrespect of convention, boldness and inspiration that it demonstrates puts the Commons to shame.
Look at the intelligence, zeal and wisdom demonstrated in the Lords about cannabis and drugs issues as compared to the Commons. Independent conscience and opinion gets much closer to the truth.
The House Of Lords proposals are a put up job which will give more power to the main political parties. They are profoundly undemocratic and should be resisted at all costs.
Banker Robbers Must Go To Jail
Bob Diamond, Chief Executive, Barclays
Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect any bonus, not even a toothbrush.
Five years minimum plus a £10 million fine please.
Then we might be able to say that we’re just beginning to redress the balance.
David Cameron Is A Bully
A spoilt, incompetent, rude, hypocritical posh boy.
(Cameron, that is)
Although Jimmy Carr doesn’t come out of this smelling of roses, he’s definitely the victim and it’s a massively clumsy mistake by Cameron.
When is our despicable, third form sneak going to talk about the morality of Goldman Sachs or Barclays?
