I can't say or write this any better myself, so I'll let this gentleman sum up my thoughts in 6 minutes of excellence. Enjoy.

A few more thoughts on the migrant crisis
A few more
thoughts on the migrant crisis.
Firstly, I
am absolutely disgusted to hear that the surrounding Arab/Muslim countries have
refused point blank to help these refugees. Thus far they haven't accepted a single
refugee. That to me speaks volumes about how compassionate, united and open the
Islamic faith really is. If these wealthy and large neighbouring countries
can't and won't even help their fellow Muslims, what does that tell you about
the religion of peace? The dark irony here is that if these refugees were
allowed to settle in those countries it would be far easier for them to
integrate into those societies, given that they share a similar culture,
religion and values. Instead, the idiots over here have started another ill
thought out, bleeding heart campaign, welcoming the migrants. As I mention in
my last post, once these people leave the first safe country they come to,
whilst fleeing the horrors in Syria, they are no longer refugees, they then
become economic migrants. You may think that is cold and harsh, but it is a
fact.
Peter
Hitchens wrote an excellent article in his MOS column yesterday about the
migrant crisis. As usual he hits the nail on the head with everything he has to
say about it. He also echoes many of my fears about the impact that allowing
several thousand more Muslims (possibly up to 40,000) will have on our
communities, our schools, hospitals and housing. I believe he also talks about
how this influx will help to weaken our own native culture and destroy our identity,
and possibly help speed up the rate by which this country could soon be
converted into a predominantly Muslim one. We must NEVER allow that to happen.
I hate violence and confrontation nor am I condoning, encouraging or wishing
for it. However, if it came to a civil war I would fight with everything I had
to make sure this country was not taken over by the vile quasi-religious
culture that is Islam. I make no apologies for wanting to protect my Anglo-Saxon,
English values, cultures and democracy, which I strongly believe is far
superior to that of Islam. Furthermore, in terms of security, the papers are today full of stories about how IS are bragging that they've used the cover of the migrants to secretly get lots (possibly thousands) of their sleeper agents/bombers into Europe. Now, granted, that may be all bluster and rubbish and I hope that it is. However, something tells me there is more than a grain of truth to those statements. If that does indeed prove to be the case Europe and Britain are in HUGE trouble. This is another reason why we should NOT be taking in anymore migrants until we have purged the middle-east of these nut jobs. As I said in my last post, I am not without sympathy for these poor people, but we must look after our own country first and protect our own people before helping anyone else. In this regard, I completely agree with Australia's stance on migrants. Yes it may be cold and harsh, but at least they have the balls and the guts to put their own country and people first. If only we had politicians with the stomach to do the same.
Secondly,
another interesting point that was made about this crisis, both by Peter
Hitchens and by a few people I know who have recently travelled through Calais,
is that the vast majority of the people who are coming across the Mediterranean
and ending up in places like Calais are young men in their 20-30s. Many of them
are also from Africa, not just Syria and Libya, but the rest of the continent.
Now, call me cynical, but doesn't that further emphasis that this is far more
about economic migration, than simply a refugee crisis? Of course the MSM and
the bleeding heart liberals won't dare mention this as it doesn't fit their
narrative. This just goes to prove the old saying that in war the first casualty
is always the truth.
Finally, the
last thing which has really disturbed me this weekend was when I saw the father
of those two little drowned boys going back to the family home in Syria to show
journalists around. Something about that struck me as terribly wrong. If things
in Syria really are so bad and horrible with the civil war and IS breathing
down your neck; so horrible that you rightly and understandably flee with your
family to the safety of Turkey and then try and get into Europe, which results
in the heartbreaking death of your children. Why on earth would you go back to
the country you were fleeing from? To my mind, even if he is trying to show the
world the horrors they were trying to escape, it still makes his children's'
death a sham and a slap in their faces. In any case that idea doesn't work on me. To me if things are so bad (and I'm not saying
they're not) you do NOT go back to Syria for ANY reason. I would argue that you
don't sully the awful deaths of your children by going back to the hell hole you were
desperate to flee from. There was just something about seeing that which didn't
sit right with me and made me feel very uncomfortable. I'll leave it up to you, readers of this blog, to make up
your own minds as to why the father decided to do that.

Thoughts on the refugee crisis
This refugee
crisis is the direct result of our idiotic western politicians and their stupid
vainglorious, misguided belief that you could bring democracy to a part of the
world that is locked in a deep rooted, tribal and fundamentalist culture and has been since the 9th century.
Today in the
Express newspaper, Anna Soubrey claims that this refugee crisis could have been
avoided if we'd bombed Syria. God give me strength! Spare me from the idiotic
and uneducated prattlings of deluded idiots.
No, Ms
Soubrey, bombing Syria would have made this crisis worse you ignorant woman.
This migrant/refugee crisis is the result of IS, which came about as a direct
result of the much lauded, at the time, 'Arab Spring' in Libya, Syria Egypt et al.
Those of us who know and understand that part of the world were all but
screaming at those idiots over here who were basically dancing in the street
and rejoicing at how wonderful it would be to finally have democracy in that
part of the world.
No,
democracy as we understand it can't and won't EVER be possible in the middle
east because of the violent, tribal and deep rooted quasi religious cultural
practices that have been going on nearly since the dawn of time. 98% of that part of the world adheres to a deeply fundamentalist
version of Islam and it is the total antithesis of what we understand as
democracy in the west. Ergo, it was NEVER going to work/happen. Again, those of
us who know the history and culture of that part of the world could just see
the void being filled by the more extremist elements, who had been waiting
decades to finally seize power from the likes of Ghadafi and Assad. Ghadafi
himself warned several years ago that without him in charge of Libya the
hard-line, Islamist factions would swarm through his country and into Europe.
How right he was. Now, in no way do I think he or Assad are/were good people; yes they are/were brutal dictators, but say what you like, both men kept those extremists at bay and
held their countries together. Much like Saddam. However, these problems didn't start with the bombing of Iraq in 2003, these problems have been simmering under the surface for centuries. What we did was to remove the safety nets that had kept a lid on all this historical/cultural evil.
Our western,
idiotic politicians are therefore partly to blame for this refugee crisis, we caused it by our
own arrogance. We, blindly believed that a part of the world that is locked in
primitive, tribal and cultural practices could free itself of that 9th
century, fundamentalist dogma and embrace westernised values. What a sick joke!
If we had
bombed Syria and overthrown Assad, IS would have completely taken over that
country and the horrors and evil we hear about would be even worse. Again, it
just shows how deluded and vainglorious our Westminster cretins really are.
Give me strength!
The only way
you are going to beat IS and I mean this very literally, is by deploying several million soldiers all at once (that goes
for all the other countries too) and we need to go through the middle east and
purge it of radicals. Then, here's the important bit, we (or more accurately America) need
to adopt our old Colonial systems and governance and be prepared to run that
part of the world for at least the next 30-50 years, following the models that
we had when Britain was an empire (granted we can't do that anymore as we don't
have the resources/money - this is why America
would have to do it)
That is the
only way you will ever beat IS and bring relative peace to that part of the
world. It must be completely purged of the evil of IS and then totally colonialised. Until we are
prepared to go down that road, that part of the world will forever be a hell
hole.
In addition,
Britain should not be taking in anymore refugees. We are a relatively small
island and our infrastructure can't cope. Cameron can claim all he likes that
it will only be 4000, but once you back down and let them in, I can promise you
there will be thousands flooding our country. Furthermore, in terms of security
there could quite possibly be up to a thousand of those 4000 refugees who are IS
sleeper agents. IS have threatened to use this tactic themselves, so I'm not being over dramatic. Plus, by importing more Muslims into our country and their higher birth rates we are arguably speeding up the rate at which this, alien, quasi-religious culture will take over this country. At the rate they are out breeding us, it could be as little as 30 years before us indigenous, white English become the minority and are ruled over by Islam, We should be fighting back and stopping this from happening, not taking in more of them. From that standpoint I
totally agree with the Hungarian PM who doesn't want to take ANY migrants
because he doesn't want his country infected by Islam. God for him, if only we
had a PM with the balls to say things like that. Also, am I the only one who
absolutely hates the sick, emotional blackmail that is being thrown at us by
the spineless, bleeding-heart media?
Whilst I do
have sympathy for those poor people who are fleeing God knows what horrors, and
whilst I can accept that the blame for the destruction of their homelands does
lay partly with us. If they are genuine refugees, you get to the first safe
country and YOU STAY THERE; once you then decide to move on, as far as I'm
concerned, you then become an economic migrant and are no longer a refugee.
Harsh, maybe, but true. Now, whilst photos of dead children are heartbreaking and hard to take; who could not feel sadness for the little boy? That child's death is NOT our fault We should not be emotionally blackmailed into feeling
bad that we don't want to take in swarms of these migrants. Something to keep in mind is that over many decades,
since the second world war actually, Britain has taken in more genuine refugees
than any other country in Europe, we've done our bit.
Yes, I feel
sorry for these people but our country is at breaking point. We have a housing
shortage, countless people using food-banks, elderly and disabled people being
forced out of their homes, having their benefits cut. Charity begins at home
and until we have sorted our own people out and sorted this mess of a country
out, we should not be allowing more immigrants in. I will not be made to feel shame and neither should anyone else in this country. We in Europe are doing a great deal to set up camps in other middle-eastern countries. These camps might not be great, but they are safe and the refugees are being looked after. As far as I'm concerned that is enough and if we REALLY want to help these people we need to purge the middle-east of IS and then reintroduce complete colonialisation for at least 50 years.

It is right that minorities who don't like us, our values, country and culture should be told to F**K OFF!
There is
some bad/offensive language used in this blog post, so you have been warned.
I was
reading in the Express newspaper online, yesterday about how someone had put a
Lord Kitchener inspired poster up in a Wetherspoons, informing those Muslims
who didn't like our country and who wanted to live under Sharia Law to f**k off
back to their monstrous shitholes where they came from. Link to article: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/600126/Racist-Lord-Kitchener-poster-Wetherspoon-s-Muslims-get-the-f-out-of-Britain
I have to
say I think this poster was a brilliant idea and I completely agree with the
sentiment of it. As some of you may know I have increasingly become very angry
at the way the PC brigades forced (and failed) attempt to ram multiculturalism
down our throats has escalated at pace over the last 15 years or more. I am
sick to death of it. In all honesty what has multiculturalism really enhanced
about this country, other than food which I can accept has been a big benefit.
My answer would be absolutely nothing. All it has done, in my opinion, is ghettoise
large parts of the country and turn them into shitholes. We have allowed in
totally alien cultures that are rooted in primitive and barbaric practices:
Forced marriage, honour killings, FGM, Halal slaughter and oppression of women
- the burka should be banned in this country. Furthermore, these practices are
not just exclusive to Asian societies, there have been other atrocities carried
out by other ethnic groups who still want to carry out primitive cultural and abhorrent
practices from their homelands. The torture and murder of Victoria Climbie
springs to mind. Additionally, it has
also made us feel shame at our own culture and twisted things so badly that we
feel afraid to express our own views, values and stand up for our own culture
because we might be branded racist, or God forbid, offend a minority. Although, strictly speaking that term racist shouldn't be used if you challenge Muslims or
Islam, because neither is technically a race, it is a religion. However, it is
actually becoming more of a political movement than simply a religion, which
helps to render the term of racism even more redundant. Be that as it may, I
have started owning the term of racist if it has been levelled against me for
my views and being proud of being called such. I have also been called a bigot,
a little Englander, fascist and other assorted terms, all of which I've
cheerfully accepted with a smile and said thank you to the assholes who have
thrown them out at me.
I firmly
believe that my culture, values, principles and ways of conducting our life are
far superior than large sections of the Muslim (and other minority) communities.
I will and must make a point here that not all Muslims (or other minorities)
are bad and primitive, just as not all English people are good and right. There
are Muslims out there who you might regard as very modern and have fully
embraced western culture, values and ideas. These are the ones who I would
argue have seen the light and also realised that as they have come to live in
our country, it is only fair that they live as we do and integrate fully into
our society. I applaud those people and welcome them. As I have said before,
there is an old saying - when in Rome live as the Romans do.
Actually,
this is the main point of the poster which inspired this blog. It doesn't say
that ALL Muslims should leave. It simply (and rightly) points out that those
who do not like this country, our values, our culture and who wish to live as
they have/do in the middle east should go back there. There is absolutely
NOTHING wrong, nor offensive about that. It is common sense and being proud of
our indigenous culture and society. Again, I welcome anyone who wants to come
here so long as they want to accept and assimilate our culture into how they
live their lives. If they wish to live as Muslims and keep Islam as their faith
and their cultural foundation, then they should go back to the middle east or
another Islamist country.
For far too
long this country has been far too tolerant and welcoming of other cultures,
cultures who have no desire to integrate and assimilate fully into our western,
liberal standards. Cultures who have no common ground with ours and whose
practices are the absolute antithesis of ours. Consequently, because of the
huge influx of migrants and people from such alien environments, this country
has struggled to cope. Our communities are increasingly fractured, filled with
bitterness, resentment and suspicion. Our infrastructure in terms of housing,
schools and medical provision is at breaking point. Indeed, we have schools in
parts of larger cities where English is relegated to sometimes only the fourth
common language spoken. There are reports of Islamic faith schools who openly
tell their students not to mix with us 'infidels' because we are unclean.
Additionally, look at the abuse of young girls by Muslim gangs in towns like
Rotherham, Rochdale et al and the Trojan horse scandal of schools in the
Birmingham area. Furthermore, there are a number of videos on youtube (if they
haven't been removed) showing English people in places like Birmingham being
told to get out of certain neighbourhood by Asian men who patrol areas of the
city to keep non Muslims out. I am told this also happens in Leicester,
Bradford and other towns with a predominantly Asian majority. Additionally, in those cities and possibly a few others, it is
possible to see signs proclaiming that this is a Sharia controlled area.
Indeed, in Dewsbury which is in my neck of the woods, they have Sharia courts
set up to deal with matters concerning Muslim people. I am sure this practice
also happens in other cities and towns too.
This, to my
mind, is totally wrong and needs to be stopped and dismantled. Communities who wish
for that sort of thing need to be told point blank to f**k off. Again, I say if
that makes me a bigot, a racist, a supremacist or any other derogatory term you
wish to throw at me, I am happy to own it and say, yes I am and you know what?
I am proud to be any and all of those things, because I believe that that sort
of thing is abhorrent, multiculturalism is wrong and it needs to be got rid of.
I am proud of my country, its history, its values, its democracy and my
culture. I am a proud nationalist and I actually think each country should have
a singular dominant culture and if you go and live in that country you should
be required to convert to that culture and assimilate into that way of life.
I salute the
person who put that poster up in Wetherspoons, you were speaking for a great
many pissed of English people who are tired of having to bend over and take it,
who think the same as what was written on that poster but dare not say such
things. Well, I am tired of having to keep quiet about things like that in case
it offends anyone. I will say that if you are an immigrant here of whatever
faith, creed or minority, or even if you were born here, but you do still hate
this country, us English, our values, culture and want to live as they do in
the middle east or elsewhere - bugger off back there then.
Incidentally,
although yesterday people were allowed to comment on that story in The Express
online and quite a few people did, who all seemed to agree with what was
written on that poster, in no uncertain terms. I note that today it is not
possible to add comment. That is also very wrong, we should NOT be afraid to
offend people. It is time we started being far more vocal in our dislike of
those practices that don't have any place in our English culture. And we
certainly shouldn't feel ashamed of openly telling those minorities who don't
like this country, our values, principles and people to FUCK OFF!

A few thoughts on Jeremy Corbyn
Probably
like many of you, I have been watching the Labour Party leadership race with
keen interest. Now, although I am NOT a Labour supporter and think of myself as
being right-wing, I do find myself being drawn to Jeremy Corbyn.
I know
you'll probably find that strange and hard to understand given that he is my
political polar opposite. However, what I admire and respect about him is the
fact that he is not trying to go for the centre-ground. He is not cut from the
modern political cloth of being all spin and no substance; party before country
and self before party. He actually (from what I can see from all that I've
heard and read) has those old fashioned, now deeply hated by modern
politicians, things called principles and a strong set of beliefs. Rather than
trying to gain power at any cost by appealing to the middle ground; he has
firmly set out his stall and drawn clear lines. He doesn't flip flop from one
focus group to the next or make a stunning number of U-turns (Andy Burnham is
your man for that.) He simply says this is me, these are my policies, these are
the things I believe in. If you like what you hear vote for me, if not don't.
That's
another thing; the guy actually has clear, radical policies. Granted, this is
where I part company from him because as much as I wish his policies would
work, they are simply not practical. I love his ideas about renationalising
services and utilities, about re-industrialising the north by opening up the
pits and steel works and factories (oh how I wish that idea could be achieved).
Unfortunately, these ideas have been costed at around 100 billion pounds. No
way on earth can we afford that. Also, given that the EU has made nationalising
utilities all but illegal, it simply can't be done while we remain locked in the
EU. He may be a radical and open to the idea of a referendum on the EU, but I
think (God forbid) if he ever did become PM that kind of democracy, which is
still the antithesis of Labour and its belief in big state control, would be
quickly snuffed out. In short, I admire Mr Corbyn's honesty and his principles.
However, I think his ideas and policies - though well intentioned - are totally
bonkers and not in the least achievable. I have written before about why
socialism can't ever work so I'm not going to go into that here. However, all I
will say is that Corbyn's brand of socialism would scare away the wealth
creators with his level of taxes and the amount of borrowing that would need to
be done would basically kill this country.
The other
aspect that I have enjoyed throughout this leadership contest has been the
likes of Blair and Mandleson et al, trying their damndest to throw Corbyn off
track. As my friend Rach pointed out to me today. These idiots don't get the
fact that the more they intervene the more likely people are to vote for Corbyn.
She is absolutely spot on. Actually she should be writing her own blog, which
would be amazing and brilliant to read, but oh well :) However, back to topic.
The issue there is that the ex heavy weights of the New Labour project just cannot
comprehend why their brand of politics is now so toxic to people. Although, I
suspect that this is largely because they never gave a rat's ass for the people
to begin with. To them what mattered most was gaining power by any means
possible and holding onto it. You see that's the problem with centre-ground
politics. It hides behind seemingly noble sayings like trying to be a broad
church, a politics for everyone, where every view is important and everybody
can feel they have a stake in society. In reality this is pure spin, style over
substance and completely hollow and empty. Being stuck in the centre is the
best method there is to enable a party to dupe people into voting for them, but
it doesn't give you any room to move so that you can take radical policy
decisions to REALLY sort out the country. Basically Blair's 'third way'
politics was just there for political elites to feather their own nests and
screw the British people. In addition, as Blair et al have pointed out (perhaps
fairly) if people vote Jeremy for Leader of Labour, it is highly unlikely that
Labour will get elected. However, what is the point of having a Labour party as
we had for 13 years, in power who are Tory-lite and are only interested in
looking after the elites? There is none. I would much rather have a principled,
honest and true working class Labour party, out of power and in perpetual
opposition than have them sell their principles and values just to win power.
After 13 years of Labour and 5 years of the 'heir to Blair', Cameron, people
are understandably excited by a fresh kind of politics (although not fresh to
anyone who is 35 and older). A politics of clear direction and seeming honesty.
Dare I say a politics of substance over spin?
The other
thing to keep in mind with every attack that is launched on Jeremy from the
likes of Blair et al. If they are trying to attack you, you must be doing
something right.
In addition,
the other leadership contenders are all firmly shackled (to varying degrees) to
the New Labour project and so can't and don't offer anything new. As far as I
can tell, other than a few watered down versions of Corbyn's ideas the others
have no policies for what they would do as leader. Again, people are waking up
to this and they don't want wishy-washy, vague, spin, focus group led
politicians. I firmly believe that the other candidates have been caught
totally unprepared for the phenomena that is sweeping through the traditional
Labour supporters of this country. The voting public are gradually realising
what a meaningless, vacuous empty shell centre-ground politics is and they
(quite rightly and reasonably) want a Labour party that stands up for the
working class and goes back to being true to its historical principles.
Interestingly, what this reaction from traditional Labour supporters has also
highlighted is just how undemocratic the New Labour project actually was. It
has turned the spotlight firmly on its vile singular goal of gaining power at
any cost and holding onto it. Again, this is evident because of the Labour
elites being horrified that the voting public look set to put in a leader who
is not one of the club and who has a totally different ethos to politics than
they do. Sorry, but that is democracy. It's about power being given to the mass
rather than a small group of elites and the elites within Labour are shitting
themselves. Personally, that gives me a tremendous amount of pleasure. I had to
laugh when one such elite seriously suggested that even if Corbyn wins the
leadership race, he should be instantly removed, hahahaha. In a nutshell, that
neatly encompasses exactly how New Labour viewed the British people and why
these disgusting, slimy bastards should be hounded out and thrown into a shit
pit. This is yet another reason why I hope Jeremy wins, because if he does I
believe he will kick out the scum who brought about New Labour and actually go
some way towards setting right some of the horrible things they did to this
country whilst in power.
For those
several reasons alone, I wish Jeremy Corbyn well and I hope he wins the
election to become leader of Labour.

The realisation of the con job Cameron pulled on the British sheeple has just hit home.
I have to
admit I've been laughing myself silly over the last couple of weeks at how
disgusted people are with how much back peddling David Cameron has done since
winning the election. Just one month in and he has already gone back on his
word about getting rid of/reforming the Human Rights act; then, just today,
threatening his ministers to vote with him on accepting ANY new EU deal or
resign.
Dear sheeple, who believed all the negative GE
campaigning and swallowed all the rubbish and over exaggerated promises made,
TOLD YOU SO! Not that that actually helps the country now. We are all stuck
with this cretin and his weak and pathetic government. I must admit, the
morning after the election I have rarely felt such anger and bitterness towards
my fellow countrymen (UKIP voters excluded). We had the perfect chance to
change things and to take the country in a new more positive 'common sense'
direction, but, as usual, we caved in and bottled it. That is the one HUGE flaw
in our cultural make-up. Our stoic, stiff upper lip, don't take a chance
mentality has stopped us time and time again from breaking free of the shackles
that have held us captive since the war. It's exactly the same mentality that
keeps abused wives/girlfriends going back to their abuser, just so they can
give them 'one more chance'. The results are always the same, more abuse, more
suffering and hardship. As far as I'm concerned the only true saying in
politics is this one: 'The people always get the politicians and the
governments they deserve.'
For those of
you who are wise enough to read Peter Hitchens' column in the Mail On Sunday,
he had been saying for months (actually years) that the Conservatives weren't
real Conservatives anymore and that Cameron as the 'heir to Blair' was exactly
that, a wet, liberal progressive who whole heartedly agreed with Blair's
policies and political direction. Mr. Hitchens also correctly pointed out that
all the pledges and fanciful promises made before the election were done
precisely because the Tories never expected to win an outright majority -
indeed, they probably didn't expect to win at all. The look of shock and
dumbfounded surprise on the faces of Dave and Gideon the morning after told the
real story.
The thing
which has REALLY made me laugh though, was talking to some true die hard
Torries, pre election, who firmly believd that Dave couldn't enact true
Conservative policies because he was shackled to the Libdems. However, with
this ultimatum today, he has once and for all shown his true liberal
progressive colours and completely killed any possible doubt that he has any
real Conservative leanings. I just know that the Conservative supporters I
spoke to previously, will be spitting feathers and asking for blood pressure
pills today. Oh there are non so blind as them who will not see.
Also,
regarding Cameron's promise to get Britain a better deal and repatriate powers
back from the EU. As I have said many times, he can't do that. The fundamental
law of the EU is Acquis Communautaire, which clearly states that once powers,
control and sovereignty has been handed over to the EU, that can't be handed
back, renegotiated or repatriated unless the member state enacts article 50 of
the treats and completely leaves the EU. Also, with the considerable and fundamentally
deep rooted changes Cameron is seeking from the EU; it would require ALL
members sates to vote on them and accept them. That would be like turkeys
voting to have three Christmases a year - will NEVER happen. Therefore, all of
the waffle coming from Cameron is pure spin and bullshit. In any case, Cameron
is so pro EU there is absolutely NO WAY he wants us to leave. Any little bits
he can get (which will be meaningless) from the EU will be lauded as a HUGE
victory and spun as a great deal for Britain and then his party will be forced
to accept that and fight tooth and nail to keep us shackled to another (even
more powerful) abuser.
I just pray
that after being so badly screwed in only a month, the sheeple of this pathetic
island will for once vote NO in the referendum and get us out of the stinking,
undemocratic, federalist, shit-pit that is the EU.
You've been
fooled once, DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN!

Labour's Education Minister wants to re-educate you.....Be Afraid!
As the
Election lumbers on with only a few days to go; I was watching the Daily
Politics election debates on education the other day. The first thing that
struck me was again how biased the BBC's Andrew Neil was when it came to giving air
time and space to talk to the party representatives. Both UKIP and The Greens
were basically pushed to the sidelines, whilst the other 3 parties were given
loads of time to prattle on with basically the same policies. To be bluntly
honest I can't really remember what the Lib/Lab/Cons were wittering about
because it's essentially the same crap they have been spouting for decades. I
was particularly scared when Labour's education representative, Mr. Hunt said (albeit
tongue-in-cheek to Andrew Neil) "Labour will re-educate you, Andrew."
Shudder! We had 13 years of Labour's vision of Education, Education, Education
and it was a hollow, data driven, politically dogmatic indoctrination of our
young people.
As I have
made very clear in other blog posts, I am a supporter of UKIP. I think they
represent real and genuine positive change for this country. They (at least for
the moment) don't come across as a slightly red or blue shade of vanilla. They
tell things how they are and they are saying the things that lots of my
friends, family, and England in general, have been saying for a LONG time.
Granted, to the progressive, leftie-liberal, PC brigade they may sound racist
and an anathema to their multi-cultural, morally relativist, utopian and
metropolitan wet dream. However, these are the people who have insulated
themselves from the harsh realities of life in modern Britain. These wet-ends
are not the ones who have had to watch their cities change completely as more
immigrants swamp them, making things incredibly difficult for a village, town
or city's infrastructure and essential services to cope with. I am always aware
of the words of Andrew Neather, advisor to Tony Blair, who published memos
several years ago, which clearly showed that Labour deliberately and callously
threw open the doors to uncontrolled mass immigration because they wanted to
change the cultural and societal landscape of this country; in order to simply
'rub the right's nose in diversity and make their arguments redundant.' For
that betrayal alone, Labour and their warped, failed ideology and corrupt dogma
should NEVER be given the keys to Number 10.
However, I
digress.
As a now ex
teacher/lecturer I have seen firsthand the incredible damage that both Labour
and the Conservatives have done to our education system, with their stupid
fantasies about the benefits of an egalitarian one size fits all approach. To
my mind, their dangerous meddling and inability to see that the comprehensive
model of education simply does not work, is essentially child abuse. They have
stolen opportunities and chances from generations of children, whose parents
can't afford to send their kids to private schools, or move house to get into
the catchment areas of good schools. Ask yourselves this question: If their
education policies have worked so well and improved the lives of children for
generations, why do politicians virtually always send their kids to private
schools instead of even the good/outstanding comprehensive schools in their own
constituency? Indeed, as was waspishly pointed out by Andrew Neil, all three
representatives of Lib/Lab/Con in this debate had been privately educated and
gone to top universities. They waffled some meaningless guff about this and
moved on quickly. Often you have to look at what these idiots don't say, or how
they act in tricky situations to get a real picture of where they are coming
from, rather than the vague, wordy, spun out 'on message' drivel they come out
with.
The answer
is simple. Politicians know full well that the education available for the
masses of this country is fucking shit. It has been dumb down and raped of
practically any worth. Schools don't really teach children anything nowadays,
at least not in the way that we think of teaching. All they do is put kids on
an assembly line in a great exam factory, fill them full of things they need to
pass exams and make sure that the school can get an acceptable A-C pass rate
and have great looking data for Ofstead and league tables. God help any child
if they are not academic and not able to contribute towards those A-C grades.
My job for four years was working with pupils like that who weren't
academically inclined and who struggled like crazy with reading and writing and
so couldn't engage with the narrow and biased curriculum. On a practical level,
they could have run rings round me when it came to sports or trade based work.
However, those things are frowned upon in this country and are treated like the
bastard child of education. Consequently, there is so little provision
available for students like that. In my experience, it is only when they get to
year 10, have been totally turned off by school, got a reputation for disrupting
lessons (because they are so bored with academic stuff and can't understand it)
that they are begrudgingly found a place at a local F.E college and allowed to
go and do trade subjects. Where, lo and behold, they flourish and end up doing
really well.
This has
been our problem since the 60s, when schools were hijacked by trendy leftie
progressives with their idiotic views about how humans and societies were
basically a collective and stopped seeing humans as individuals with different
skills, abilities and needs. And began promoting the need for a completely
comprehensive model of education. Actually, to be fair, Marx himself realised
this and knew that society wasn't totally collective. However, this piece of
common sense is largely ignored and frowned upon by Frankfurt school, 'Common Purpose'
idiots.
Therefore,
as a result of our own snobby ignorance and a refusal to accept that different
types of learners require different types of schools and education, we have
condemned scores of highly practical children to five wasted years of torture,
wasting their talents and abilities and just for an added bit of fun, made them
feel useless, pathetic, thick and worthless. Great job.
Furthermore,
when there are deep, vested interests, these powers that be will cling onto
their failed, corrupt and broken ideologies/systems and fight to protect them.
The way they do that now is by using meaningless stats and data about pass
rates in G.C.S.E exams to back up their claims that we have one of the best
education systems in the world. They will tell you how the exam success shows
that our young people are getting a great education and that they are able to
compete with children all over the world....Trust me, they are not and they
can't!
Mind you
anyone with some common sense can see the reality is not like that at all. We
get countless stories from employers who say that when they try and take our
young people on, they can hardly read, write or use basic maths skills. They
complain, that our young people don't have a depth of knowledge or a good
enough understanding of skills to function in most workplaces. As I mention
above, this is because in schools we rarely teach children these skills or
equip them with the required knowledge because 90% of the focus is simply on
passing worthless, dumb down exams. It is a disgrace.
This is why
I support UKIP because they are the only party with the balls to want to smash
through all this progressive bullshit and want to bring back selection by
ability and want to challenge our snobby belief that only academic
qualifications count. They are following Germany's approach to education. In
Germany (I know this because I have friends who teach over there) they have
basically always believed that different types of learners need different
schools and that selection by ability is the best way to bring out the
abilities of their young people. However, unlike us and our pompous bias
towards academic subjects at the cost of vocational trades - which is what
created a very unfair and unbalanced two tier education system in this country
from the 1940s until the 70s - Germany spends vast sums of money ensuring that
all types of education and schools get the best equipment, teachers and
facilities. That is the vital difference. It is this ethos that UKIP are
seeking to copy and I know that if they succeed it will improve the education
system in this country beyond belief.
That is the
key reason that I support UKIP. They are the only party, who have a genuine
idea how to improve the education for our young people. Selection by ability
and having different school for different children is the best way to improve
things. The other three parties hate this idea and won't even consider it.
However, just remember that although they are happy for things to stay the same
and for your children to attend crappy schools, if you don't happen to live in
a good catchment area. They have the money and the connections to get their
children into the best schools in the country. That is the worst kind of hypocrisy
and I hate them for it. They are scum!
