IN THE UK SOME NUTCASES ARE MORE ACCEPTABLE THAN OTHERS
Posted by Caledonian Jim in Daily Posts
A plane carrying Geert Wilders (pictured above, complete with passport and boarding card), the right-wing Dutch politician accused of Islamophobia who was banned from entering the UK, touched down in London yesterday. Wilders was due to show his 17-minute film “Fitna”, which criticises the Koran as a “fascist book”, at the House of Lords yesterday but on Tuesday he received a letter from the Home Office refusing him entry because his opinions “threatened community security and therefore public security”. The film “Fitna” intersperses images of the 9/11 atrocity with quotations from the Islamic holy book and its release last year sparked widespread violent protests in the Muslim world, especially amongst those very few Muslims that had actually SEEN the film. In 2007, Wilders called for the Koran to be banned and likened it to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf (surely it can’t be THAT bad a read ?). UK immigration officials, in a rare show of efficiency, stopped Mr Wilders entering the country yesterday.
Now I’ve no particular objection to stopping nutcases like Wilders coming into the country – we’ve enough already here. But stopping him has simply given publicity to his film and thereby ensured that millions will try and view it on the internet whereas before nobody was interested. So yet again, the New Labour government in general and the incompetent, inept, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith in particular (who was probably filling in her expenses claims instead of concentrating on making a sensible decision), got it wrong big time, applying double standards as usual. Mr Wilders is a nutcase, but he’s also a democratically elected MP from an EU country. He also as far as I am aware doesn’t have a criminal record and doesn’t belong to a terrorist organisation. If he cannot get in to the UK, fine – but why is it so easy for Islamic extremists, known criminals, economic migrants, drug dealers, human slavers and terrorists to just walk in, claim social benefits and then take the piss, secure in the knowledge that the New Labour government will defend their “rights” and never throw them out ? It seems that in the UK some nutcases are more acceptable than others, particularly if a “softly-softly” approach to certain nutcases might result in the achievement of Muslim votes for New Labour in inner-city parliamentary constituencies.
The Home Office has said it will ”stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country”. It’s a pity it hadn’t formed that view before admitting firebrand Islamic cleric Abu Hamza to stay here spouting race and religious hatred while spongeing off our social welfare system for years. That great bastion of multi-cultural understanding and democracy, the Muslim Council of Great Britain, described Mr Wilders as “an open and relentless preacher of hate”. It’s a pity the same Muslim Council hasn’t ever expressed that view about Muslim hate preacher Abu Qatada , who also lives in the UK on benefits – not to mention Osama Bin Laden, who exhorts followers to bomb Britain. Like I said, I’m all in favour of excluding and thereby silencing nutcases – but ALL OF THEM, not just a select few chosen at the behest of New Labour vote-grubbing appeasers and Islamic hypocrites.
Prince Harry Hewitt (pictured above, right, in a staged patrol pose in Afghanistan) has been ordered to attend an equality and diversity course by British Army chiefs after being formally disciplined for his recent “Paki” outburst. It is the second time the anti-Paki Prince will have had to undertake the racial awareness training, which is mandatory for recruits. The course aims to educate soldiers on what type of behaviour and language is “unacceptable” in today’s multicultural Army. Perhaps the powers that be in the Army might care to reflect that if Hapless Harry has already been on a course which has so abjectly failed to re-educate him, there might be little or no point in him doing the course a second time. Perhaps the best way of instilling respect for “Pakis” into the Prince might be to send him on REAL active service against the formidable Taleban insurgents, instead of a sham tour of duty, as in the above photo, surrounded by film crews and SAS minders.
Former Hitler Youth and Nazi anti-aircraft gunner Pope Benedict XVI yesterday sought to defuse the row over his reinstatement to the Roman Catholic church of a Holocaust-denying bishop, telling American Jewish leaders that any denial of the Holocaust was “intolerable” and all the more offensive when it came from a man of the cloth. The Vatican said the Pope was “unaware” (!) that Bishop Richard Williamson (pictured above), whose excommunication was lifted together with that of three other ultra conservative Lefebvrist bishops, had denied that millions of Jews were murdered in Nazi gas chambers. What a load of lying bollocks that is. And even in the unlikely event that it WAS true, then what planet is the Prussian Pontiff actually inhabiting ?
And yet another religious tosser talking a lot of nonsense. This time it’s a senior Church of England bishop who said yesterday that getting fired can “come as a relief to the victims of the recession”. Those who lose their jobs “seem to be relieved to get off the treadmill” , the Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Richard Chartres (pictured above) said. Dr Chartres said that the credit crunch could be a boon to those who get a chance to “reboot their sense of what a truly flourishing human life consists of .” So there you have it folks - when they come to repossess your car and house, when the bailiffs arrive to remove your few other worldly possessions, cheer up – you can reboot your sense of what a truly flourishing human life consists of. You’ll notice that in the above photo I’ve cut out the bishop’s brain. That’s because it’s obvious the bloody idiot doesn’t have one. He shouldn’t have a job any longer either – that way HE could reboot to his hearts’ content.
All UK households will have a green makeover by the year 2030 under government plans to reduce the country’s carbon emissions and cut energy bills. Cavity wall and loft insulation (pictured above) will be available for all suitable homes, with plans to retrofit 400,000 homes a year by 2015. Financial incentives for householders will also be available for low-carbon technologies such as solar panels, biomass boilers and ground source heat pumps, paid for by a proposed levy on utility companies (which no doubt they would immediately pass on to US). The government wants 7 million homes to be treated by 2020, with a further 20 million dealt with by 2030. The strategy could help cut household carbon emissions by a third by 2020, part of the government target to reduce overall UK emissions by 80% by 2050. Currently, homes account for 27% of the UK’s carbon emissions through heating and power. The plans were welcomed in principle by green groups and energy campaigners, though many were still concerned by the lack urgency in the proposals – which might only begin in 2013 – or detail on how the majority of the plans will be funded. I can help them there – it WON’T be funded – we can’t afford it. But not to worry, because the way the economy is going we won’t be able to afford coal, gas or electricity to cause carbon emissions in the first place.
