Lord James of Blackheath: Outing a $15 trillion fraud in the House of Lords

2012-02-24T19:56:00.011Z

Conservative life peer Lord James of Blackheath got to his feet in the House of Lords seven days ago... to raise the small issue of, what he suggests, is a $15 trillion fraud. Here is the speech he gave: ...and here is the speech, forever, on Hansard. So, what the hell is going on here? And why is this not headline news on the BBC and Sky News, relentlessly, wall-to-wall..? This story comes

Spain reacts to police brutality against students

2012-02-21T20:17:00.005Z

Compare and contrast... In Britain, when a newspaper vendor dies on the streets, we all go back to mindless drivel such as X Factor... In Spain, when police get aggressive with demonstrating students, the whole country seems to make it's feelings known. The clip above - from this evening, is of the gathering in Valencia. There are huge protests also taking place in Madrid, Barcelona and

Huge solidarity protests expected in Spain after police in Valencia get brutal with frozen schoolkids

2012-02-21T10:00:00.004Z

Mass anger has erupted throughout Spain over heavy handed police tactics deployed against schoolkids protesting peacefully for the central heating to be switched on in their college in Central Valencia. Photographs and videos in circulation suggest the police have been heavy handed and there are widespread claims that Valencian authorities switched off CCTV before launching into brutal

In the name of all humanity, stop gassing the Greeks

2012-02-20T08:51:00.000Z

Another Sunday passes then in which tens upon tens of thousands of people peacefully assembled and demonstrated in Syntagma Square, Athens. Not broadcast on British TV news screens, of course, Hellenic people were joined in solidarity again by thousands of viewers on the internet who witnessed, first hand, the impeccably well-behaved Hellenic people being dispersed by brutal riot cops who - when

Sunday Paper Review: 19th February 2012

2012-02-19T06:24:00.001Z

With so much attention and focus on Greece this week, we've kinda left the insignificant twerps who call themselves MPs at Westminster off the hook somewhat. So, what better vehicle than our Sunday paper review to cast a beady eye over what they're up to? Let us begin, however, by exclaiming: "Well, bugger me gently!". No, this is not a response to attempts to drive homophobia out of Premier

Greece, the birthplace of democracy... and the strange unifying of the political left and right?

2012-02-18T06:32:00.002Z

Throughout this week, we've been paying particular attention to continuing developments in Greece. We care passionately about the plight and suffering of the Greek people; we deplore the chemical weapons which are used to repress democratic demonstrations of the Greek people's opposition to what is happening to them and utterly condemn the anti-democratic impositions of external ('foreign')

And now they demand that the Greeks ask for permission to protest

2012-02-16T14:39:00.001Z

Poor Greece. Standard of living in decline. Unelected Puppet Prime Minister. The nation which gave us democracy has little democracy of it's own. People driven to suicide. Governed by the EU/ECB/IMF and Berlin. And now their own Government demands that they ask for permission to protest. Athens Indymedia has the story and we have translated the news from their site - but the essential new rules

Nigel Farage - tough talk with Alex Jones

2012-02-16T05:14:00.003Z

Nigel Farage was a guest on the Alex Jones show last night. Here is that interview. And it is an epic: Just hours before, Nigel had given an interview to RT in which he accused the EU of using Greece as a "sacrifice"...

Greek Solidarity: Europe-wide 'We're All Greek Now!' demos being planned for Saturday

2012-02-15T15:16:00.035Z

We warned yesterday that this would happen. Too late, evil EU... it is happening. Following the brutal supression of protest in Greece on Sunday, solidarity demonstrations in a number of European capitals are now being planned for this Saturday, 18th February under the unifying message of "We're All Greek Now!"... just as we predicted yesterday. Planned participating people of (formerly

Nigel Farage: I would have been on the streets of Greece, too

2012-02-15T09:39:00.001Z

Nigel Farage has spoken in the belly of the beast that is Brussels this morning. Well actually, it was Strasbourg but we haven't thought of a description for the EU's pointless second 'Parliament' building yet. As you would expect from Farage - a powerful orator at the best of times - he does not mince his words. The situation that Nigel is describing is so awful and so serious for the people

Beware Evil EU Empire, We Are All Greek Now

2012-02-14T12:26:00.004Z

In the late 1930's, as well as fighting Nazi Germany, we from these Great British Isles departed in not insignificant number to the shores of Spain to join the international brigades fighting the Spanish Civil War against Franco's troops, in the name of democracy: It was that fact which drifted in and out of my mind repeatedly on Sunday as I watched helplessly - in horror - at events in Athens

Greece: How the BBC and Sky conspired - yet failed - to keep the British people ignorant

2012-02-13T08:10:00.004Z

There is a funny little chap, calls himself 'Foreign Secretary', who flies around the world imposing no-fly zones and regime change in the name of 'democracy' and 'the will of the people'. Despite repeatedly pushing him about this matter via Twitter (where he tends to ignore those of us who pay his wages and instead seems to dedicate his life to giving our money away to people in the four

Arrests for treason threatened. Greece today... closer to home soon?

2012-02-11T08:43:00.000Z

UKIP's Godfrey Bloom has repeatedly made calls for the architects of the great Eurozone misery to be arrested and flung into a jail cell where they belong. Many of us, meanwhile, have long lists of political Quislings and traitors who we would like to see pay the full judicial price for their crimes against sovereignty, democracy and the constitution. A pipe dream, you reckon? Perhaps. What to

How's that European unity going, Rumpy Pumpy? - Greek newspaper portrays Merkel as Nazi on front page

2012-02-10T21:11:00.000Z

Go on... call English and British opponents of the (unlawful here) European Union names. Feel free. Call us racist, xenophobic, Little Englanders who have crawled out from under a rock. Go ahead. Water off a duck's back, these days. Only, whilst those of us who care about democracy and freedom have quite rightly poured venom on the anti-democratic EU and all the totalitarian control it exerts,

Gay rights campaigners go 'right', the 'right' goes 'left' hilarity...

2012-02-07T23:36:00.000Z

Quite hilariously from a political left-right perspective, an American court has thrown out a Californian ban on gay marriage ruling that the ban is unconstitutional. As a pro-constitution blogger and as a libertarian, we applaud the court for their verdict. However, we are quite aware that there are more than a few - on both ends of the political spectrum - but especially on "the right" who

Quote of the Day: 7th February 2012

2012-02-07T19:13:00.001Z

We recently posted a provocative opinion piece saying that politicians should shut (the f***) up if they were not prepared to do something about it. So we were heartened that one of our closest and dearest friends in the blogosphere - Witterings from Witney - seems to have come to a similar conclusion. For this, we hand WfW our 'Quote of the Day' honour. WfW writes: "That the House of Commons

May she defend our laws? Only with our help.

2012-02-07T00:10:00.003Z

Daniel Hannan MEP marked this sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II of the House of Windsor with a blog post entitled: "May she defend our laws and ever give us cause…" Unfortunately, a promising sounding blogpost contained not one single reference to any of the laws that our Sovereign contracted with her subjects to defend. As it is a special anniversary, we are going to be

Shock as Monckton and Gore debate the climate...

2012-02-03T18:23:00.000Z

On the day that Windy Miller stepped down as Chief Government Gaia Worshipper, it seems Gore has sensationally agreed to debate Monckton on the climate. Well, that's what this satirical clip says it is... and how we laughed:

See ya'... wouldn't want to be ya'.

2012-02-03T10:28:00.000Z

So long, adios, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu. No matter what language you say it in, it sounds good, doesn't it? Yes - it's no good tilting at windmills. You all know who and what we're referring to. However, we're going to bite our tongue. Not because we don't have plenty we would like to say. On the contrary. No, we would like to see the law make an example in this case and chuck the

Quote of the Day: Biased BBC exposed edition

2012-02-02T23:12:00.000Z

"People will quite rightly continue to question what influence the EU exerts over the BBC, particularly in the light of EU loans and grants, and the BBC's often one-sided coverage of matters relating to Europe." - Karl McCartney MP, cited in the Daily Telegraph (HT: Eurosceptic1) Stunning report.... though only confirming what we all knew (or at least suspected already). So shut the bloody

A musical interlude...

2012-02-02T18:26:00.003Z

Just so you know where our head's at, a couple of music videos which we're hoping people identify the thematic of and relate to. More regular blogging soon: You know you're depressed when Aqua singing about the 80's makes you burst into tears. I'm not a racist, xenophobic Little Englander. I just want life back to how I remember it, before they wrecked it irretrievably. And now?

Quote of the Day: 1st February 2012

2012-02-01T23:59:00.000Z

"The government led by Enda Kenny of Fine Gael is doing everything it can to stop a referendum, because the answer the voters would most probably give is a No (the Irish are fed up with the EU/ECB/IMF team known as 'the Germans' occupying their finance department)." - Mary Ellen Synon for the Mail Online

Just shut up - all of you. We're sick of hearing it.

2012-02-01T01:18:00.002Z

I write this blogpost at 01.09 UK time. By midday, I promise you that somewhere, in one of the newspapers, there'll be a soundbite from a Carswell or a Hannan, a Redwood or a Helmer and maybe even a Farage. Yadda, yadda, yadda... EU this, EU that... yadda, yadda, yack, yack, yack. Aren't you just sick to the back teeth of hearing it now? I know I am. For all the talk, for all the bluster,

While Cameron bullshits, Merkel reveals the great deception

2012-01-31T01:33:00.001Z

Let us start this open accusation of "bullshit" by listening to the Bullshitter-In-Chief, our Prime Minister David Cameron: Sterling stuff. Standing up for the national interest! Veto! Action if not in the British interest! Rule bloody Britannia! Except... Except Germany's Angela Merkel soundly gives the gameplan away. Late this evening, James Chapman - Political Editor of the Daily Mail -

Dear Greece (and Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy)... perhaps you might read the bloody document before signing it this time?

2012-01-30T14:20:00.000Z

The Telegraph has put online a leaked draft version of a new EU fiscal treaty. Over the weekend, Greece has made angry sounds about the German threat of invading Athens with it's number crunchers. A threat to national sovereignty and identity, the Greeks have complained. And we agree with them. However... it is not the normal thing for us to defend the EU. Yet that is exactly what we're going
