Why mass immigration was not important for the political elite

Uncontrolled mass immigration is now top of  voters worries in opinion polls at 56% and rising. The next most important issue, the NHS is in the mid 30s and falling. For years immigration was ignored by the political elite partly for fear of being called racist, it was the BNP's major issue over these years. It is now unaoidable and easier to talk about following the BNP imploding as a political force. The second reason the political elite did not talk about immigration is a purely selfish one, it did not affect them or theirs!

Its not their kids who are all at 'good' ovesubscribed schools in expensive areas. if they are not at public fee paying schools, average fees £25k pa plus. Eiither way the political elites sprogs do not suffer from having kids who not only can't speak English in their class but speak many different lasnguages hardly a good basis for high educational standards.

This is of course no new thing. Shirley Williams and Anthony Crosland who wrecked grammar schools in the 60s for poor children were both educated at public fee paying schools  and sent their kids to fee paying schools. Even Jezza's  front bench black lady appointee Diane Abbott sent her son to City of London, a fee paying school which she could afford on her MPs salary. This of course is not an option open to 90% of Brits. They have to send their kids into the idiotic  educational mess created by our political elite whilst their own pampered sproggs go to good schools to be taught by the best teachers.

After 50 years nothing has changed.The children of the political elite go to at worst very selective schools like Blair and Harman's kids and who cares about ordinary poor kids.. No wonder we read frequent reports of a persistent widening gulf between kids from rich backgrounds and kids from poor backgrounds. You may say that's life but in my days in the fifties and early sixties the gap was very small and many working class kids like me went to the best universities. Not now with years of positive discrimination in against ordinary white working class male kids these children are a tiny minority.

People in council estates are not stupid. They know they will be the ones to get the refugees and asylum seekers with their large families living next door and competing with them for housing, education for their kids and health care. For the political elite in their Islington houses or leafy suburbs this might as well be on the dark side of the moon. Its a case of , "I'm all right Jack" and I'm going to Tuscany next summer..

Corbyn & Farage

I just listened to a bit of Corbyn's keynote leaders speech today and I was struck by how similar it was in its delivery to Farage's standard conference speech. Both speak to the faithful and ignore the great mass of the British public.  Corbyn did not acknowledge Labour's May election disaster. Farage blamed UKIP's May disaster on Nicola Sturgeon. Both are clearly living in cloud cuckoo land. Until you see things as they are and accept reality there can be no hope of political progress.

This is very worrying for the coming EU referendum. UKIP has two decent alternatives to Farage, Carswell and O'Flynn. Both are articulate, clever and much smarter than Nigel. Both can reach out beyond UKIP in Carswell's case to the Gladstonian free trade tradition and O'Flynn garners support from the soft left voters. They are both less abrasive than Farage and with many less enemies particularly with women.

It would give the leave the EU campaign a far better chance if both Carswell and O'Flynn were prominent in the leave campaign and Farage did his performing monkey thing in Brussels along with his side kick Nuttall well away from the UK media. Its a sad indictment of our country but a Liverpool accent does not appeal to many. Andy Burnham comes from Liverpool and supports Everton like Nuttall but Burnham has lost his Scouse accent to progress  politically. Nuttall's accent if anything seems to have become more pronounced with the years.

On the female side Mrs James is very acceptable electorally to the UK public. Miss Evans is OK but I would go with Mrs James. Women MEPs like Louise Boors and especially Jill Seymour should be kept in the cupboard for delivering leaflets along with men MEPs like Legge and Coburn.

In short Carswell, O' Flynn and Mrs James ahould be the UKIP media face and  Miss Evans should coordinate the show overall including non-UKIP people. All can reach out beyond the UKIP faithful which is what we will need to wn the referendum. There will of course have to be others from different franchises, business, science and engineering and the arts but four is quite enough involvement  from UKIP.

No one is safe in Farage's blame game

I almost died laughing when Farage was asked by one of the great men of the media why UKIP had only managed to win one seat in the May general election. After the usual Farage huffing and puffing and looking he eventualy ascribed UKIP's failure to that Scottish woman! Unsurprisingly the SNP did not stand a single candidate in England bur this is a mere bagatelle when Farage is seeking someone to blame. It is laugable but I remember when UKIP failed in the Henley by-election  at the subsequent NEC Farage was quick to blame those of us from the SW region for UKIP's failure in Henley. When I pointed out to the supreme leader that Henley was in his South East region not my South West region I was immediately attacked by the place seeking Faragistas like Bannerman for disrespecting the cult leader.

So remember blame is always delegated in UKIP and the supreme leader is always faultless, D Carswell please note..

Cameron is Merkel's poodle

Merkel is afraid of dogs hence when Putin comes calling he brings his biggest fiercest hunting  dog to terrify poor little Mutti. Merkel however has a house trained performing poodle called Dave. Cameron is quite simply the third traitorous Tory PM we have had, Heath & Major were the other two signing our rights away under German pressure. Only the Iron Lady stood up for us on the world stage. Clegg's silly remark about walking tall on the world stage was of course a huge lie. Clegg crawled on his belly like a biblical snake to the EU whenever UK interests were at stake.

The extent of this kow towing to the Krauts of course never emerges in the EU or UK but in the US by such dynamic organisations as car pollution control. It is well known that the German car industry has the EU in its pocket but thank God for the Yanks that pillar of Anglo Saxon culture. Cheating the rules is accepted behaviur in the EU and it even now extends to the UK. But if you get caught cheating in the US, as VW have and British bankers before that then fines are heavy and gaol sentences common.

Two years ago our government was going to tightening up car pollution testing procedures. This was widely supported in the UK by consumer and health groups, the civil service and by the British car industry. This change was never implemented. Mutti Merkel phoned her poodle Dave and asked him to defer the introduction of these more stringent tests as they would be bad for the German (EU)  economy and there was the usual lie about it damaging UK exports to the EU. Well as I wrote two days ago if Cameron had bothered to ask for the UK EU trade figures he would have seen this was a lie. But Dave of course was like the pooch on the His Master's Voice record label did as he was told. The UK car industry were furious and several CEO's asked Cameron why he was standing up for the German car industry against the UK manufacturers? But answer came there none.

Its a pity there will be no PMQs next week. This is an open goal that even Jezza could not miss.

More importantly how can we have any faith in our PM to renegotiate better EU terms for us when he is plainly Merkel's running dog? We can't and Cameron will like Heath and Major before him sell us out for a mess of potage or should that be renamed Eton Mess in the New English Tory Bible..

Enough of irrelevant UKIP, time for serious politics

It has long been my belief that the EU's hubris would bring about its downfall. Farage and his dodgy party of talentless self seekers are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The EU downfall may be coming sooner than anyone expected thanks to the migrant army now invading the EU from the East as the Visigoths & Huns did many hundreds of years previously.

The lead story in today's Times is headlined, "We're facing destruction European chief warns".
The chief is one Donald Tusk a Pole who is president of the European Council who warns EU leaders that the refugee crisis was just the begining and , "mutual recriminations and misunderstandings" could well precipitate the the unions collapse. There is an election due shortly in Poland something which is concentrating the minds of the  EU political elite. No renegotiation possible Dave until after the Polish elections!

" Today we are talking about millions of potential refugeees trying to reach Europe not thousands. It iss likely that  more refugees will flow towards Europe not less. Especially as almost all of them feel invited to Europe"

Mr Tusk did not mention who issued the invitation but it is clear he was refering to Merkel.

The East Europeans paricularly the Hungarian are deeply resentful of the EU decision to force unwanted refugees of a different militant religion upon them and alter the social cohesion of their country. Religion is imprtant and the Hungarians have a long history of having to fight Islam to preserve their country and Christian religion.

The current EU proposals are inadequate in Eastern Europe which is facing an Islamic invasion of millions. Its a war by weight of numbers and the longer the EU prevaricates the worse the final conflict will be.

There is a safe country with a Syrian border called Israel. How many Syrians will find refuge there? None! The Jews know that to let Syrians in will destroy their country which has had to be on a war footing against Islam since it was founded in 1948. The EU better learn that lesson quickly or we will all pay a heavy price.

Remember these are the same Syrians who 8 years ago burned down the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus because of some newspaper cartoons.  Political cartoons have been part of our culture for many hundreds of years.

UKIP conference tickets price reduced

I have to write something on UKIP to justify my blog's title. Today the Daily Telegraph reports

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage/11886068/Ukip-offers-cut-price-conference-entry-after-poor-ticket-sales.html

The message is sell Farages buy Corbyns

You can now buy a Friday ticket, the day of Nigel's big speech for £20!

A waste of money it will be the same as last year's which was the same as the previous year and so on. When you have heard one Farage speech you have heard them all. hyou cannot get a fag paper between them.

My advice is keep your £20 in your pocket.




Would you buy a used car from this man? the velvet collar is the give away.

Germans & French occupy top crucial EU roles

The French were always very good at having good candidates ready when important International jobs fall vacant. Thus Mme Lagarde who is French succeeded Strauss Kahn as IMF Managing Director. This ensured that the IMF backed the Franco Prussian line on Greek debt ignoring the rational arguments  on the other side for letting Greece leave the EU. This support was inevitable given Mme Lagarde also has domestic French political ambitions requiring Franco Prussian goodwill. Madame LaPresidente has a certain ring to it and would sit well with Madam President Hilary Clinton or Carly Fiorina in the US post Obama.

Prior to Strauss Kahn there have been two recent French IMF MDs,

Michel Camdessus, from France, was Managing Director from January 16, 1987 to February 14, 2000

Jacques de Larosière, from France, was Managing Director from June 17, 1978 to January 15, 1987

plus 

Pierre-Paul Schweitzer, from France, was Managing Director from September 1, 1963 to August 31, 1973


Since the IMF was formed by Keynes in 1946 out of 11 MDs there has been 5 French MDs. The next nationality is Sweden with 2 then singleton Belgian, Duitchman, German and Spaniard. If we count up the years under French control it comes to 42 years out of the 78 years since 1946. Thats because the French once in like to do two or more terms.There has never been a British IMF MD. The FCO consider it beneath them to lobby for Brit candidates. Hence we get well and truly shafted by this  unsavoury collection of mid-Europeans.

This pattern continues with the so called European Parliament. Volkswagen as we all by now know has been caught by the Yanks cheating the system.

This will fall within the remit of the European Parliaments trade committee which is chaired by German SDP MEP Bernd Lang who happens to represent Lower Saxony,  home to Wolfsburg Volkswagen's main manufacturing base. Conveniently Mr Lang is also the main negotiator on the current Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership tals or TTIP for short.

The EU is as Nick Ridley noted 30 years ago a German racket and they have learned well from the French how to play it. The playing fields of Eton are irrelevant old hat!.

The US have a long history of being much harsher on foreign companies regulatory bereaches than domestic companies. Hence recently GM were fined a paltry $900m for faulty ignitions linked to 100 fatalities. BP on the other hand. a British company, as Obama never tired of saying responsible for 13 accidental deaths was hit for $50 bn in fines for what was a clear accident.

Why do the Yanks behave like this? The reason is as old as the Romans, only those with US Presidential votes count. Read Cicero! In the run up to a US Presidential elections I will be fascinated to see if La Clinton and La Fiorina repeatedly castigate VW as a "German Corporation"
