QUOTE OF THE MONTH

'I almost venture to affirm, that not one in a hundred amongst us participates in the “triumph” of the Revolution Society. If the king and queen of France, and their children, were to fall into our hands by the chance of war, in the most acrimonious of all hostilities, (I deprecate such an event, I deprecate such hostility,) they would be treated with another sort of triumphal entry into London. We formerly have had a king of France in that situation; you have read how he was treated by the victor in the field; and in what manner he was afterwards received in England. Four hundred years have gone over us; but I believe we are not materially changed since that period. Thanks to our sullen resistance to innovation, thanks to the cold sluggishness of our national character, we still bear the stamp of our forefathers. We have not (as I conceive) lost the generosity and dignity of thinking of the fourteenth century; nor as yet have we subtilized ourselves into savages. We are not the converts of Rousseau; we are not the disciples of Voltaire; Helvetius has made no progress amongst us. Atheists are not our preachers; madmen are not our lawgivers. We know that we have made no discoveries, and we think that no discoveries are to be made, in morality; nor many in the great principles of government, nor in the ideas of liberty, which were understood long before we were born, altogether as well as they will be after the grave has heaped its mould upon our presumption, and the silent tomb shall have imposed its law on our pert loquacity. In England we have not yet been completely embowelled of our natural entrails; we still feel within us, and we cherish and cultivate, those inbred sentiments which are the faithful guardians, the active monitors of our duty, the true supporters of all liberal and manly morals. We have not been drawn and trussed, in order that we may be filled, like stuffed birds in a museum, with chaff and rags and paltry blurred shreds of paper about the rights of man. We preserve the whole of our feelings still native and entire, unsophisticated by pedantry and infidelity. We have real hearts of flesh and blood beating in our bosoms. We fear God; we look up with awe to kings; with affection to parliaments; with duty to magistrates; with reverence to priests; and with respect to nobility. Why? Because when such ideas are brought before our minds, it is natural to be so affected; because all other feelings are false and spurious, and tend to corrupt our minds, to vitiate our primary morals, to render us unfit for rational liberty; and by teaching us a servile, licentious, and abandoned insolence, to be our low sport for a few holidays, to make us perfectly fit for, and justly deserving of, slavery, through the whole course of our lives.

You see, Sir, that in this enlightened age I am bold enough to confess, that we are generally men of untaught feelings; that instead of casting away all our old prejudices, we cherish them to a very considerable degree, and, to take more shame to ourselves, we cherish them because they are prejudices; and the longer they have lasted, and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them. We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason; because we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations and of ages. Many of our men of speculation, instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom which prevails in them. If they find what they seek, and they seldom fail, they think it more wise to continue the prejudice, with the reason involved, than to cast away the coat of prejudice, and to leave nothing but the naked reason; because prejudice, with its reason, has a motive to give action to that reason, and an affection which will give it permanence. Prejudice is of ready application in the emergency; it previously engages the mind in a steady course of wisdom and virtue, and does not leave the man hesitating in the moment of decision, sceptical, puzzled, and unresolved. Prejudice renders a man’s virtue his habit; and not a series of unconnected acts. Through just prejudice, his duty becomes a part of his nature.'

BUSINESS AS USUAL

Phony Tony may have finally left office but, as he intended, his legacy survives him.

It would be churlish not to recognize the achievements that Tony Blair can claim. At a national level, the situation in Northern Ireland is far better than it has been for a very long time.

He has turned Labour into the natural party of government and has rid that party of Clause 4 and its fixation with class war politics.

On a personal level, as far as one can gauge from the TV, Tony Blair seems a nice guy.

Nevertheless, his legacy is shameful.

Although there will be no prosecution, he and his close associates have been under criminal investigation for selling honours for cash and the sleaze of what they have done remains. He has undoubtedly packed the House of Lords with his own cronies and other Lefties. They are now reportedly abusing the pass system for their own gain.

He has consistently blocked moves to hold elections to the House of Lords [or whatever a reformed chamber might be called]. So much for democracy – Blair’s cronies prefer to literally lord it over the rest of us.

Tony Blair has corrupted the constitution with the creation of parliaments for Scotland and Wales while retaining Scottish and Welsh MPs in Westminster. This is nothing more than vote rigging. He is rigging the vote in order to keep Labour in office in England. Gordon Brown is more than happy to continue with that vote rigging.

This is in addition to the more routine vote rigging, such as that which has been introduced with postal ballots. In the Asian communities, stories abound of people wandering around with shopping bags full of postal ballots.

Then there is the scandal of the manipulation of constituency boundaries, with Wales having smaller constituencies than England.

Having won the last election with a specific manifesto commitment to hold a referendum on the new EU constitution/treaty, Labour now intend to rat on that pledge. We will be submerged into an EU superstate against our wishes and without having our say.

Needless to say, England has been denied a referendum on whether we should have our own parliament. Such referendums are good enough for the Scots and Welsh, but not the English.

We have witnessed and are continuing to witness the end of genuine democracy.

Yet Labour are unrepentant. For them power is everything. It is business as usual.

Yet the most dangerous legacy Tony Blair has left us with is the complete abandonment of border controls, unrestricted mass immigration, and the accompanying Islamist terrorism. He has brought Islamist terrorism onto the streets of Britain.

Unless the policy of mass immigration is stopped, then the English will be reduced to a racial minority in England.

Tony Blair’s legacy is truly shameful.

TORY SOCIALISM

In his latest grandstanding trip abroad, Dave Cameron is currently in Rwanda. Apparently he is joined by a group of 40 Tory volunteers who will spend up to 2 weeks working on aid projects.

In a speech today, attended by only 20 Rwandan MPs, Dave Cameron said:

‘There are some people in Britain, who told me not to come. They said I should stay at home and worry about domestic concerns.

Well let me tell them – let me tell you – that in the 21st century, a century of global
trade, global migration, and yes, global terrorism, there is no “domestic” and "foreign” any more. In this world today, we are all in it together.

The rich cannot escape the consequences of poverty and instability. What happens in one place affects many others.

Gas from a factory in Beijing can contribute to floods in Britain. Civil war in Somalia can bring thousands of migrants to Stockholm. A cartoon in Denmark can create riots in Damascus. Our futures are linked as never before.’

Given that his constituents are currently flooded, one might have thought that the local MP would be concerned about them rather than a Rwandan photo opportunity.

Even a Rwandan journalist asked Dave Cameron about the floods in his own constituency.

His speech is wrong. He talks as if this country never traded on a world scale before. Has he never heard of the British Empire?

What should be most important to any politician are those matters for which they are responsible: the poor drainage system, the building of houses on flood plains in order to facilitate mass immigration, and the poor government response to the crisis. These are matters which Dave Cameron can affect – not gas emissions from a factory in Beijing.

Civil war in Somalia does not ‘bring thousands’ of migrants to Europe, including the UK. It is the organized crime rackets, lured by the deluge of taxpayers’ money, who bring migrants to Europe.

It is the rioters who create a riot – not a cartoon printed many thousands of miles away on another continent.

SIOE

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STOP ISLAMISATION OF EUROPE (SIOE) DEMONSTRATION

11th SEPTEMBER OUTSIDE THE EU PARLIAMENT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO SHARIA HERE! DEMOCRACY NOT THEOCRACY!

These are the rallying cries that people all over Europe are shouting far and wide to Islamists both within Europe and in other countries who seek to impose Sharia law upon European citizens. It is not only to Muslims, who seek to expand Islam across the whole of Europe, that Europeans are saying “Enough” it is also to our politicians who connive with Islamists to establish Sharia law by stealth.

From building regulations to burial rights, the majority of Europe’s population is increasingly expected to adhere to Sharia law. “Hate” laws now make it a crime to speak out against Islam even though it is just another totalitarian political system. Our free speech, which has been gained over many centuries by defeating tyrannical regimes through many bloody wars, is now being removed solely to protect Muslims from being offended. Nobody has the right to not be offended.

SIOE is a Pan-European movement determined to not merely stopping the surreptitious Islamisation of Europe, but reversing it. The first step in this reversal is a march comprising people, from many European countries, all demanding that all non-Islamic European nations remain non-Islamic and a halt to encroachment of Sharia law.

Anders Gravers (Founder of SIOE Denmark and leader of the political party SIAD) said: “We do not believe in the concept of ‘moderate Muslims’. The evidence points to Islam being the opposite of moderate. The heart of Sunni Islam is Saudi Arabia and the centre of Shia Islam is Iran. No rational person can describe these two countries as ‘moderate’; at least not when compared to European values.

We now have children in Danish schools being forced to eat Halal meat so that Muslim pupils are not offended. What next? Are Danish women to be stoned to death for being raped as they are in Iran? Or are people to be beheaded for leaving Islam as they are in Saudi Arabia? No! We will not allow Europe to become a huge Saudi Arabia or Iran”

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte (Founder and president of the non-profit charity "Pax Europa") said: "We clearly feel the pressure of Islamisation in Germany. German police and courts are more tolerant to Muslims than to non-Muslims. One of the highest German courts (Bundesgerichtshof) has just downgraded the punishment for Islamists who publicly declare and ask for violent Jihad in Europe. Unacceptably, some judges have quoted the Quran and not German law in court cases. Polygamy, once illegal in Germany, is now permitted only for Muslim men, who may even claim state benefits for their wives. German life is changing to appease Muslims. For example, Christian crosses in our public institutions are being removed and there are separate swimming times for Muslims in supposedly public pools (which non-Muslims’ taxes pay for). German Muslims demand a quota for "positive reports" from the German media, but they kick out the religious group Bahai from an inter-religious conference because they refuse to accept them within the "dialogue". All this was once described as hypocrisy, but is now actually promoted by our feeble politicians.

Stephen Gash (Founder of SIOE England) said: “Appeasement of Islamists has become ridiculous. Non-Muslims are expected to be buried facing Mecca and to sit on toilets facing away from Mecca because cemeteries and new homes have to conform to Muslim sensitivities. Toy pigs are banned from offices and Christmas lights must now be called ‘Winter Festival lights’ so as not to offend Muslims. None of these oppressive measures were even contemplated when Jews were the only ones who could possibly be offended by pigs and ‘Merry Christmas’.

Absurdly, to criticise Islam results in accusations of ‘racism’. Well, I’ve always considered racism as being the lowest form of human stupidity, but Islamophobia to be the height of common sense.”

Charlotte Westergaard (SIAD board member) said: “The biggest danger comes from our own politicians who promote Islamic values at the expense of our own values. The way things are going all European non-Muslim citizens will be paying the Jizzya tax to Muslims as they did during the days of the Ottoman Empire. Of course the politicians believe they will be exempt – until the local Imam knocks on their door.”
