Immigration

One thing I've noticed about immigrants is that they are overwhelmingly pro immigration. Whatever part of the world they come from, and whatever country they go to, they take offence at any hint that immigration might not be the best thing since sliced bread. In my view it has been a disaster, particularly for England, which has absorbed a disproportionately large number of immigrants to both the UK and the EU.

But why expect that immigrants have to be pro immigration? You may consider the contrary point of view hypocritical - how can an immigrant be anti immigration?

But what if an overwhelming majority of the native English - ie the people who gave the immigrant a refuge from persecution, the opportunity of getting a job, healed his sick, educated his kids - want immigration cut drastically or stopped altogether? How does an immigrant then justify a pro immigration point of view?

Surely such a point of view has to be taken as being hostile to the interests of the English people. Surely the only decent response is that they respect the opinion of the English on the matter.

Immigrants or their descendants who then get into politics and start pushing a ridiculous open doors policy on immigration, knowing the general feeling about immigration are in my view contemptible ingrates and traitors who should have their citizenship revoked and be booted out of the country.

Generation of Burkes

You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage

You might remember that quote from 'Aliens'. The sci-fi horror film starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, with Paul Reiser in the role of Carter Burke, the archetypal yuppie slime ball of the 22nd Century (or whenever). At that point in the film Ripley has Burke pegged as a scum bag of the lowest order. He's prepared to sacrifice the whole crew of the ship (and jeopardise the safety of the human race) in order to smuggle an 'alien' back to Earth in the bodies of the crew for the weapons industry.

Examine the Labour cabinet and it's not too difficult to imagine that the character of Burke reached a sympathetic audience in people like Brown, Mandelson, Harman, Straw and the Millibands. All are shallow, incompetent, self serving scum who put their own interests ahead of the national interest. All are happy to see the UK trashed by immigration from the third world in order to secure future votes. All are happy to sell the UK out to their undemocratic antipatriot collaborators in the EU. All are happy to see the UK bankrupted, and all are prepared to lie through their teeth in order that the destruction that they wreak on the UK should continue uninterrupted.

Gemma Atkinson - 100 % English

Some may call the pose sexist and demeaning to women, but they may go and cheerfully boil their heads :) I think what I like most about it is the look in her eyes, not the fact that she's washing dishes.

Sir Michael Lyons warns BBC would be left a 'pale and weak shadow'

Daily Telegraph:

Sir Michael Lyons, the chairman of the BBC Trust, has warned the BBC would be left a "pale and weak shadow" of its current self if the licence fee is amended or abolished.

Superb! Let's do that then! I'd especially like to see one of these 'pale shadows' that he's talking about.

English Votes for Cameron? II

Confirmation of my concerns expressed on an earlier post.

From The Times, May 10th

David Cameron yesterday set out his plans to draw the sting from Scottish discontent if the next Conservative Government is forced to make big cuts in public spending to reduce the £700 billion of debt it would inherit from Labour.

Cameron will protect the scotch from the harshest cuts to public spending which he will be forced to make because of the financial incompetence of the clown Brown.

The Grasping Scummers

In my opinion abuses of power in the seat of Government should be stamped on extremely hard, as corruption at the heart of the nation's Government has far greater implications than elsewhere. These are people who have the future of the country in their grasp, they must show that they deserve to have our trust. Their morals should be beyond reproach.

The current lot in Parliament clearly do not deserve that trust. They have created - deliberately or not - a lax system which is open to abuse and exploitation. A system which they then turned around and blamed when public attention was drawn its abuse. But they created it.

MPs are exceptional (ie different from the ordinary working public) in that they work in two different places: their constituencies and the Houses of Parliament. These places may be hundreds of miles apart. So it seems that they have a legitimate need for two homes.

The manner in which MPs have chosen to deal with this exceptionality really demonstrates that they are not fit to set rules for themselves for these exceptional cases. So they should either they follow the same rules as everyone else with no exceptions, or exceptional rules which only apply to MPs need to be set by an independent body.

All cases of expenses abuse should be investigated with a view to prosecution for fraud and for those cases where a guilty verdict is reached, MPs should face jail or at the very least loss of their seat in Parliament and permanent ban from running for a parliamentary seat.

DNA

The Government says it has to allow thousands of foreign criminals into the country because under EU law it can't refuse them. It then says that it can't deport terrorist suspects because it's against European Human Rights legislation. Yet the Government is prepared to disregard European Human Rights law on the issue of holding the DNA of innocent people. Seems like they'll either ignore EU law when it's inconvenient, or use it to legitimise their destruction of our civil liberties.
