The gauntlet is thrown down

From the Metro:
Six-month deadline for UK to grant prisoners right to vote 
The government has been given a six-month deadline to enfranchise some prisoners after a landmark ruling by the European Court of Human Rights.
Or the government could simply say that Britain is a sovereign state, that English Common Law is supreme and the ECHR can go chase itself.

Pat Condell: The Gathering Storm



Some reports have the Euro collapsing by Christmas and the Foreign Office seems to be of a similar opinion.  If it goes, then the whole rotten Empire comes down shortly afterwards.  Five years ago, I gave the EU 15 years to go.  Looks like I was off by 10.

Decline is a choice

Proof from the Telegraph that the EU is a dead tyranny walking:
Beekeepers face being driven out of business by a European court ruling that pollen must be listed as an ingredient of honey.
No wonder the Empire has to go cap in hand to the Chicoms!

Prime Minister commits treason

At the Commonwealth conference in Australia, Mr David Cameron has succeeded in abolishing the principle of primogeniture and removed the ban on the monarch marrying a Roman Catholic.  The legal implications of this are unimaginable and by doing so he effectively repeals the Act of Settlement and the Bill of Rights.

It also means that he is in violation of his oath and a traitor.  More than that, by this act the government of the United Kingdom ceases to have any legitimacy and can no longer command the loyalty or obedience of any subject of the Crown.  They are no longer the Queen's ministers.  They are an illegal junta.

For me, this is the last straw.  New Labour has already shown itself to be unfit for ever under any circumstances holding power because they fomented and abetted an invasion of Britain while doing everything they could to undermine the nation and its sovereignty.  The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have now joined them in putridity.

Britain is now lumbered with something worse than a one-party state.  We have a one-policy state.  Red, blue or yellow; it doesn't matter what the rosette, they all share the same ends and the same means and all of them are opposed to Britain, her people, their history, their institutions, their monarch, and even their very civilisation.  They are the tentacle of a self-serving, self-perpetuating euro-oligarchy that covers the European Empire like a blanket and pretends to be the technocratic revival of the old continent-wide aristocracy that held sway before 1914–only shabbier, stuffed with utopian dreams like it was Socialist crab meat, and utterly oblivious to the wants or needs of the people they fatten off of.  They aren't just out of touch, they have deliberately cut themselves off behind their security doors and armoured limousines in a way that even the most insular lord never could.  They are worse than tyrannical, they are parasitic.

Now they have crossed the Rubicon.  The political class of Britain have made their governance illegitimate.  Yesterday, what I am about to say I would have qualified as hyperbole.  Today, I am serious.  If the British Army were to mutiny and send this lot to the Tower, I would support it.

As for her majesty, if she gives the royal assent to this, she should abdicate.

Not an isolated case

Think the 10:10 video of kids being blasted to bloody gobs because they wouldn't embrace the Revolution was a  one-off?  Think again.  According to this lot, giving your child a hamburger is exactly, and I mean exactly, like shooting them up with heroin.

It makes me thankful that there's no such thing as telepathy, because I have no desire to see what goes on in their heads.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Cutting out the middleman: You

Ever feel so exasperated at the Inland Revenue Service that you want to scream, "Why don't they take the whole damn wage packet and be done with it?!?"

Guess what.

Sucking the life out of the people

Having solved all of Europe's problems, the unelected and unaccountable tyrants who run the EU decide to screw up vacuum cleaners.

Why? Two reason: Because Blessed Gaia commands and because they can.

Release the Kraken!

The BBC looks at the mackerel war and the state of the fisheries.

Between two stories, they manage to bring up everything from diminishing numbers of water voles to good old human greed (how dare anyone except a BBC executive order the plaice!), but, no prizes, totally ignores the real culprit for the dwindling fish stocks around the British Isles: The Common Fisheries policy that allows the European Empire to treat British waters as theirs to plunder at will.

Maybe Providence will allow a delightful bit of irony and we'll soon be reading about European fishing fleets being gobbled up by marauding giant squid.

Toronto 2010


A pox on these crazed, right-wing tea partiers. If we don't...

What? Left-wing communist/anarchist demonstrators struggling to free the oppressed through freedom of expression? Oops, sorry. Aside from all the latter's rioting, vandalism, assault, destruction of private and public property, rejection of legitimate authority, and violent crime in general in the service of a totalitarian philosophy, it's so hard to tell the difference.

Cracked

With the Eurozone in meltdown and the entire ghastly union facing everything up to and including civil war, the EU leaps into action and proposes a ban on selling eggs by the dozen. Instead, all products must be sold by weight and weight alone instead of number of items. Why? Because it's officious, confusing, pointless, expensive, and generally a way of rubbing the common man's face in the petty tyranny that Brussels dispenses as a matter of course.

If it wasn't so scary, it would be entertaining.

Update: The British government says that it will fight this ban. If it keeps to it's word, it will be a small indication that Whitehall still has a something resembling a spine, but great changes often start with the small.

My hope is that the government's opposition will take the form of a full-throated denunciation of not just the legislation, but the assumptions and ambitions behind it. My expectation is that it will be a mere quibbling about wordings and exemption.

Roll on the collapse of the EU.

Update: The EU claims that there's no truth to the story, though I wouldn't trust their saying that the Earth has gravity without jumping up and down a few times.

Democracy Russian style

The Russian Duma passes a drunk driving law 449 to 0. This is a pretty impressive vote when you realise that only 88 deputies were present. How did they manage it? By voting very, very quickly.

At least it keeps them fit.

Spanking mad

From the BBC:
Parents should find ways of punishing children without smacking, says the deputy head of the Council of Europe.
In other news, the free men of Europe and the British Isles pointedly suggest that smacking should be extended to deputy heads of the Council of Europe who in a fit of hubris butt into sovereign nations' affairs.

Unintended solution

How to expose the International Criminal Court as the tyrants/Leftists posturing body that it always has been? By declaring "ecoside" to be the "fifth crime against peace."

What is ecoside? It's all things to all environmentalists. It can be everything from strip-mining the whole of Asia and lacing the tailings with a deadly poison derived from burning down the entire Amazon basin and then dumping them on Australia. Or it can be forgetting to pick up an empty crisp packet. They're "only just beginning to get to terms with how enormous that change will be."

How comforting.

You don't even have to present a proper case because this would be an "absolute law" that only requires "a soil sample" for conviction.

Or it can be in this cheery little scenario:
Supporters of a new ecocide law also believe it could be used to prosecute "climate deniers" who distort science and facts to discourage voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming and climate change.
Thoughtcrime is a crime against Blessed Gaia! Presumably the guilty would be burned inside wicker men. I must check with Lord Summerisle about this.

But hijabs are just fine

British schools may no longer be able to require girls to wear skirts because it, I'm not making this up, discriminates against "transsexual children"–whatever those are supposed to be outside the demented mind of a commissar rights activist.

Remember when human rights was about protecting people from being lorded over by tiny minorities? Now it's about aiding the neo-artistos in their lording.

No longer funny


This is reason enough to abolish quangos.

Tyrants hate proper language and prefer to obscure meaning at every turn. That's why the first books to be censored are always dictionaries.

No, Thanks; I'll Walk.

Red China unveils its new Deathmobile: an execution chamber and organ chop shop all in one convenient package.

In related news, Chinese coach ticket sales plummet to an all-time low.

The Fine Print

Workers in Britain and Europe are discovering what being part of the EU really means and they're not liking it.

And so the cracks widen.
