Britain can save the EU and other myths

Fraser Nelson who edits the Spectator has written two very good pieces for the Daily Telegraph on Friday and Thursday.

It has long been my view that our best ally in the Brexit campaign is the EU itself. I have wtitten in this blog several pieces on this theme so it was gratifying to see Mr Nelson come round to my way of thinking. I cannot find this piece on the DT web site but if and when I will post the link.

It is entitled, " The EU itself is making a strong case for Britain voting to leave" and subtitled,

"If Europe cannot accept that reform is needed there is not much more the PM can do".

The first line is excelllent, " Since its inception the EU has been a trap for vain politicians.
This is a great lead in for Nelson's preceeding piece on a recurrent UK FCO fantasy that goes back to Heath. How well I rember this fairy tale from my days in the Civil Service in 71/73. Nick Ridley had it right, the EU is just a German racket.

I notice another great EU lie surfaced on QT this week viz that the EU had kept the peace in Europe. NATO did that. It was set up in 1949, 8 years before the Treaty of Rome. We owe our peace to the US led NATO not the shambolic EU that could not organise a p*** up in a brewery.

The Warsaw Pact, set up in 1955 pre dates the EU, and  also played a big part in restraining Franco Prussian military ambitions and we should be grateful to the Russians for this.

Trump articulates what the liberal elite dare not acknowledge..

There is a good blog callled Conservative Woman click below to read

It makes the good point that anti Muslim feeling is strong not just in NW Europe and the US but also in Japan, Hungary and even the saintly Aung Sang Suu Kyi is not keen on them in Burma or Myamar as it now calls itself so it has a worldwide spread. Why?

Well Islam as practised by many of its followers is not as Dave often  claims a religion of peace but an intolerant violent religion that recognises no other faith but Islam and kills Christians, Buddhist and anyone else who does not happen to agree with them. Now to be sure most Muslims do not go around killing non Muslims but there is a sizable number of our Muslim population sympathetic to ISIS and its murderous activities so they really cannot complain when some non -Muslims don't like this misplaced allegiance.

What puzzle me most is where are our rampant feminists, Greer and Toynbee speaking out against Muslim enslavement of women and female genital mutilation?

Even the homosexuals of both sexes, usually vociferous against any perceived insults sre relatively silent even when ISIS chucks their fellows to their death of tall buildings. Live and let live does not seem to figure in many Muslim preacher's beliefs.

The oft repeated statement that most Muslims are not terrorists is of course true but virtuallly all current terrorists do seem to be Muslim. so if you are looking for terrorists you wil find more in Muslim areas than you will in non-Muslim areas. You might find an apple w alking down the road but you will find many more if you walk through an orchard as B ayes Theorem elucidates..

Muslims with their head of family controlling all the family votes is corrupting our democracy as Tower Hamlets proves. The police are of coursed cowed by fear of being seen to be anti-Muslim. It is time to take all Chief Contables down to look at the figure of justice on top of the Old Bailey. She is blindfolded to emphasise justice is blind to race or religion. Political correctness has no place in our country. It is an American import as deadly to our society as any antibiotoc resistant virus.

Why Donald Trump?

There is a non descript bunch of GOP candidates  plus an invisible, useless  President. They are all sticking their heads in the sand over Muslim problems. Its similar to the refusal of our political elite to acknowledge immigration was  the number issue with UK electors until it bit them in the ballots..

It will be then same im the US. Just wait for the Jan 16 Iowa caucus results. Voters in the US as in France will vote for a candidate who speaks about their real problems and concerns.

Nads tells it how it is: Osborne for PM over her dead body

Look, George Osborne has spent the last ten years giving out sweeties to Conservative backbenchers, Labour Party people do it running for leadership as well. Sort of buying the friends, giving out the jobs. He’s run out of jobs to be able to give to people. He’s spent ten years buying votes on the backbenches, and the frontbenches too because he’s made those people into positions, so that one day they will vote for George Osborne to be leader. If that happens then I think what we need to do really, in all parties, is look at how our political system works because I don’t think it’s right that anybody of privilege should be able to come into parliament and use their privilege and their education, their background, in order to secure their career progression into the role of Prime Minister in the future. Because if George Osborne becomes Prime Minister, that is how he has done it.

JC: Would you leave the Party at that point?

ND: Well, we may have this discussion another day Jo.

Nads calls a posh boy with lots of inherited dosh what he is on today's Daily Politics.

The Labour woman Jess Phillips  was refreshingly straight as wel.

Add in Donald Trump and one wonders are politicians starting to tell a tiny bit of the truth?

Labour's grandees have f***ed their party for a generation

The 66 Labour MPs who voted in support of Cameron's lets bomb Syria motion have f***ed their party for a generation. The SNP all but wiped them out Labour in Scotland by labeling them, the "Red Tories". Now their grandees have confirmed that label as correct. In contrast the SNP spokesman Stuart Hosie presented a reasoned critique of Cmaeron's silly motion  and gave a clear plan of how to hurt ISIL without risking civilian casualties and what to do afterwards. It sounded like sound common sense to me. Click below to listen to his Marr interview last  Sunday.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYqnqUB2W3c

Sure Hilary Benn made a fine speech. I listened to his father make many fine speeches but they had no effect outside the Westminster bubble. It was one of the Emperor Augustus's favourite sayings, "Fine words butter no parsnips". Labour need a new set of grandees who live and work in the real world of ordinary people. Beckett, Mrs Balls Chukka etc just don't cut it with us plebs. They all live a cosseted comfortable life at our expense.

One of the many things our political elite did not mention is, what happens when a RAF plane and its crew ends up in ISIL hands? I hope it does not happen but if we are there for any length of time its an odds on certainty. A similar situation finished Jimmy Carter as US president. I guess Obama may be lucky enough to leave before the sh1t hits the fan but Cameronis there for the next 4 years so his chances of escape do not look good. Teflon Tony he is not.

PS Listen to Alec Salmond's take on Benn's speech

Jeremy Corbyn is right on Syria

Corbyn gave a very good account of himself on the Marr show today. He ran rings round Marr, not difficult, and avoided all the traps. Click below and fast forward in to see the interview

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06rjpq3/the-andrew-marr-show-29112015


He came across as a decent honourable principled man speaking much common sense with the best interests of our people at heart. Cameron's argument boils down to we have to support our dodgy allies, France and the USA. I find Obama slimey and interested only in pursuing US domestic political interests and the same with Hollande. Both countries have of course missed no opportunity in recent years to denigrate the UK and its companies. Cameron should stick to defending UK interests.

Galloway gave a well informed virtuso performance on the Andrew Neil show exhibiting a real depth of knowledge of the Middle East that our Defence minister Fallon clearly lacks. He nailed Turkey's PM Erdogan as the cause of much of the trouble in the Middle East  not just for his ill judged shooting down of the Russian plane but also as the conduit enabling ISIS to sell stolen Syrian oil to finance their terrorism.

Heffer breaks the don't mention Enoch was right taboo

In a brilliant piece on Sunday, Heffer articulates the truth that dare not speak its name, Enoch was right on immigration as Paris proves. Click below to read

I will not paraphrase it as I cannnot improve on Heffer.

In the same edition,Janet Daley, not my favourite scribbler, writes an outstanding piece demolishing the morally bankrupt and now totally irrelevant EU project. Its a must read

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/12009948/When-will-our-leaders-face-up-to-the-truth-that-the-EU-is-a-gigantic-sham.html

concluding with what we have known for years, The EU is not fit for anything'

And what of the UKIP folk. Well there is a report in today's Times based on Matthew Godwin's latest book detailing how Farage is trying to knife UKIP's only MP Carswell with the help of his long time dogsbody Towler. This is pure Farage at his worst no wonder nobody ever votes for him as an MP.
