THE BRITISH INQUISITION
Michael Howard has had the temerity to speak out in support of those whose lives have been ruined by illegal gypsy/traveller camps. The result is that he has been likened to a Nazi.
What Michael Howard has proposed is that the old laws of trespass be updated and changed so that travellers can be fined or even jailed if they set up unauthorised sites. He further proposed that the planning law is changed so that travellers cannot buy land, develop it, and then apply for retrospective planning permission.
Kevin McNamara, the Hull North Labour MP, has gone so far as to claim that Michael Howard’s comments had the ‘whiff of the gas chambers’ about them. In reference to travellers, Kevin McNamara said: ‘They are an easy target to attack, to blame all sorts of difficulties on - to appeal to people’s basest motives and I really do feel there is a whiff of the gas chambers about this’.
Rodney Bickerstaff, a hard-left ex-union leader and a trustee of the Labour Party movement for traveller’s rights supported Kevin McNamara by saying that ‘We should be a shining example to Europe - a Europe that as we know found a solution for travellers and gipsies in the 39-45 war. Instead, what happens just before an election, its chosen as something that will really inflame opinion’.
Michael Howard’s own grandmother was murdered in Auschwitz.
Downing Street has refused to condemn Kevin McNamara’s comments.
Those who watched the television reports on this issue, cannot but have noticed the high number of BMWs, Audis and 4-wheel drive vehicles owned by the travellers, who often pay many hundreds of thousands of pounds for the land they turn into a caravan site. These people are not paupers. Many of them are Irish.
Kevin McNamara is a hard-left MP and has previously courted controversy over remarks sympathetic to the IRA and his calls for the abolition of public schools, for which he was dubbed ‘The Hypocrite’ after it was discovered that he subsequently sent his own children to public school.
But as we know, some people are more equal than others.
This whole traveller controversy is political correctness in its purest form. The travellers are portrayed as victims, despite the fact that they are the aggressors. Those who dare to criticise the travellers and the politically correct view are demonised and denigrated.
The travellers are wrecking large parts of England’s green and pleasant land, and are adversely affecting the quality of life of many traditional rural communities.
This is all precisely what political correctness is designed to achieve. To oppress and wreck.
The English Rights Campaign will examine this in much more detail in the near future.
