More along the lines of Fool Britannia by Peter Hitchens. "The Country Formerly Known as Great Britain."


Police water cannon and plastic bullets? After 50 years of the most lavish welfare state on earth? What an abject failure.

As the polluted flood (it is not a tide; it will not go back down again) of spite, greed and violence washes on to their very doorsteps, well-off and influential Left-wingers at last meet the filthy thing they have created, and which they ignored when it did not affect them personally.

No doubt they will find ways to save themselves. But they will not save the country. Because even now they will not admit that all their ideas are wrong, and that the policies of the past 50 years – the policies they love – have been a terrible mistake. I have heard them in the past few days clinging to their old excuses of non-existent ‘poverty’ and ‘exclusion’.

The Socialist State like a dysfunctional family member who abuses everyone he professes to love.

We, on the other hand are the abuse victims, trying to make the abuser see the light and correct the error of his ways. We believe if we just try hard enough...

If we are EVER to live as free people, we must again declare Independence and rid ourselves of the very premise of the socialist nanny state.

A little bit of socialism is not "harmless" any more than a little bit of psychological/emotional/physical abuse is harmless.

Psychological, emotional and physical abuse is exactly what the Socialists have used to subdue us.

A little bit of socialism is akin to someone holding a loaded pistol to your head, you know, for just a minute. Didn't REALLY hurt you... Did it?

When even their affluent youth are involved you know it's not poverty and exclusion. It's a systemic problem that's way past a short term fix.

It's the logical outcome of the welfare state.

These people - for GENERATIONS have been taught that they are entitled to food, clothing, shelter, medical... simply because they *ARE*.

That was bad enough, but let's be REAL about it.

We've all seen them - buying lobster or steak with their food-stamps. I've witnessed a female (not a "woman" and DAMN SURE no "LADY"!) buying crabs & lobster, & cursing out the shop owner because he wouldn't break the law & steam them for her.

We've all seen the $200 shoes, the designer clothes, not to mention the french manicures and so on...

Then there's the housing... Don't even get me started. Put them in brand new houses and they DESTROY them. Every landlord I know DREADS the "section 8" applicant, and more and more are being sued for not renting to them. We got around it by requiring "good credit" - and got OUT because we saw the writing on the wall... Still, we see more & more they're demanding houses in the suburbs, and with the laws now requiring separate rooms for kids, the welfare-looters are living in bigger houses than peopled I know with both parents working full-time-PLUS!

In short, "food, clothing & shelter" have become "any food I want, DESIGNER clothing, & a McMansion!

Then - to top it all, we've got a Marxist .gov & the kneepad media constantly telling them that the reason they're "poor" is because they've been CHEATED! - by all the evil "Rich"!

Let them figure out that there will be no penalty & NO WONDER YOU GET WHAT LONDON HAS!

The only "surprise" would be if it DIDN'T HAPPEN!

MY biggest question this week has been "are there REALLY NO *MEN* LEFT IN ENGLAND AT ALL?!"
