Brexxit =Fascist!

It was predictable and inevitable that within hours of the Jo Cox atrocity, Grub Street would be offering motives, explanations, theories about the sinister forces behind the murderer. It could not possibly have been the act of a mentally disturbed loner. There was a conspiracy.

 

First up, one Juliet Samuel in the DT.

 

‘It’s time to call the killing of Jo Cox what it is: 'an act of far-Right terrorism’ she  announces.  

 

According to her Britain is raddled with sinister fascist forces. No doubt they are secretly plotting a Final Solution that will rid the world of 1.6 billion Muslims, 22%of the world population

 

There is very little discussion of our enduring fascist heritage. Yet Britain has been home to fascist groups for decades. There was a strong vein of support for Adolf Hitler in this country before the Second World War. The first lists of banned speakers drawn up by university student unions were populated by hateful fascists (like Germaine Greer?), not Islamist hate preachers.

 

Of course it may well be that the reason there has been ‘very little discussion’ on ‘our enduring fascist  heritage’ is because there isn’t one. Researching fascism in Britain is an unrewarding task because of a paucity of information.

 

The British Union  of Fascists, Oswald Mosley’s lot, had declined from about 20,000 members to 1000 by1939. And there was no strong strain of support for Adolf Hitler before 1939. Early in the Third Reich there was admiration in some quarters for the way in which he revived the economy and dragged Germany back from the brink of starvation but not for the regime. Supporters were largely confined to the dottier members of the aristocracy, the Mitfords, Lord Rothermere (who recanted), and Lord Haw Haw( who was hanged).

 

Once the true nature of the Reich appeared, the British public reacted in their traditional way  with mockery and ridicule

 

Enter far left Polly Toynbee. Of course.

 

According to her it was all the fault of Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and the Brexiteers. The cardinal sin was to actually mention ‘immigration’. Along with ‘race’, ‘homosexual’, and ‘gender’ (sex, actually)  the very use of the word should constitute a criminal offence in the make-believe world of The Guardian.

 

Rude, crude, Nazi-style extremism is mercifully rare. But the leavers have lifted several stones. How recklessly the decades of careful work and anti-racist laws to make those sentiments unacceptable have been overturned.

This campaign has stirred up anti-migrant sentiment that used to be confined to outbursts from the far fringes of British politics. The justice minister, Michael Gove, and the leader of the house, Chris Grayling – together with former London mayor Boris Johnson – have allied themselves to divisive anti-foreigner sentiment ramped up to a level unprecedented in our lifetime.

It’s the Far Right up to its evil tricks again fronted by Nigel Farage, Sir James Dyson, and other fascist puppets.

So where are all these fascists, members of ‘an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization’? Perhaps these hacks are using the Nuspeak definition of fascist: ‘anyone who does not totally agree with me.

However, there has been no confirmed sighting of a Blackshirt for 75 years, which in scientific terms means that the species is extinct.

the acid test

‘The English follow the principle that when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous’.

 Goebbels.

 

Does it really matter?

 

If the verdict is ‘leave’, the unravelling process will take 10 years (or long enough to see the British suits in Brussels safely to their index-linked pensions).

 

Or if ‘stay’, the whole rotting edifice will collapse in those ten years. The signs are clear.

 

Like the Bourbons, the Brussels nomenklatura have learned nothing and  forgotten nothing

 

They persist in recruiting new members despite the disaster of admitting countries such as Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, none of which meets the basic criteria for membership.

 

Briefly, these are

 

·       Democratic constitution with free elections;

·       The rule of law and an independent judiciary;

·       Recognition of human rights;

·       Protection of minorities

·       A functioning market economy;

 

Turkey could have few problems here. In the queue also are Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Croatia, in total about 88 million people.

 

The Balkan candidates are third world criminal states. Bosnia ranks 103 in the world GDP pp league table with Albania at 93, below Gabon, Lebanon, Botswana , even bankrupt Venezuela. None of these countries is, to quote LBJ,  ‘worth a pitcher of warm spit!’.

 

They have the disastrous Euro around their necks and cling to it as if it were the Holy Grail. This shows very clearly that they remain committed to ‘ever closer union’ which means monetary union. If members agree to this, it will signal the end of independent nations, most of which will have suffered greatly in obtaining independence. Instead they will become satrapies of Brussels, ruled as mere provinces.

 

Do they seriously imagine that 500,000,000 people will accept this? Dream on!

 

The structure of the EU has the integrity of a Bangladeshi textile factory; the fault lines cannot be repaired. The fatal flaw is that Brussels, when reflecting on the essentials for a successful union, never asks ‘What is the community of interest?’. Only eleven of the 28 members of the EU are in the world top 25 of GDP pp, so national wealth is not a major consideration for membership. And if not, what is?

 

Perhaps more importantly, the British have absolutely nothing in common politically with the other members; it is the only member of the club that has a continuous tradition of constitutional democracy and the supremacy of Parliament preceding 1945. Britain was an ancient nation before many of the club members even existed  in their present form. (Britannia, who still features on the reverse of our coinage, has been there since around 200AD).

 

‘The Continent’ is dirigiste. People tend to look to Governments for the answers to most problems, on the ‘always keep a hold of nurse’ philosophy. The British are exactly the opposite, which is why one of the most loathed characteristics of the Brussels elites is its never-ending meddling in ordinary people’s lives, especially in areas where there is no EU commonality e.g. the little herbalist shop that sells only in the immediate area is nevertheless subject to the full weight of the EU Directive of Traditional Herbal Medicine Products.

 

In short, the European template is the Holy Roman Empire which was neither Holy nor Roman but was definitely German. Britain, of course, distained to be part of that club.

 

To return to the here-and-now, the latest ‘Remain’ propaganda gets more absurd by the day.

 

Dave’s latest bit of scare mongering is directed at pensioners. Brexit will put your pension at risk, he tells us.

How come? Pensions are purely a matter of domestic policy. The level of pensions is entirely for the government to decide. And, come to that, it was Gordon Brown who wrecked final-salary pension schemes by withdrawing tax breaks on investment earnings. Dave has done nothing to rectify this, but has watched private pension funds  accrue massive deficits as demand outstrips resources

 

Osborne tells us that that interest rates will rise and house prices will fall.

 

Bring it on, George. Millions of us who saved for our retirement and now find that the return on capital is less than  the rate of inflation due to the Bank flooding the financial market with almost-interest free loans.!

 

The ‘10% fall in house prices’ is another George porky. The reality is that house prices may not rise by the predicted 10% by 2018. They will be the same as today.

 

The immigration issue is a simple one. It is racist and discriminatory.

 

Under the present dispensation , Britain cannot control its borders or immigration from Europe. Anybody with an EU passport may come here without let or hindrance – and immediately claim social benefits without contributing a penny. This includes hordes of ‘refugees’ once they qualify in Germany or whichever EU member has given them sanctuary.

 

The only means of immigration control left to the UK is over non-EU citizens – Indians, Australians and all. So when it comes to admitting a Romanian labourer or an Indian doctor, it’s no contest.

 

Simple as that!

 

Here is the acid test.

 

If this referendum was not about leaving the EU  but about joining it, how would you vote?

This is Trumpism!

I said this time next year I'm gonna be the one to do

Everything and more you said I couldn't do.

Well, look at me now!

 

If a week is a long time in politics, a year is an aeon. About this time last year, The Donald was one of the biggest jokes in political history; a loud-mouthed demagogue, a political child with no known ideology or convictions, a clown, a ranter, a racist, a much-married sexist, a multi-bankrupt. He was given a 2% chance of success.

 

Now he’s King of the Midden in the GOP, and the cognoscenti are scotching their heads wondering how the impossible happened.

 

The answer to their dilemma is simple; ask the people!

 

Their reply will also be simple; ‘ We are fed-up!’

 

We are not for Trump. We are against you, the Establishment.

 

We detest the selfish, self-seeking, self-satisfied, self-regarding and self-perpetuating oligarchy that over the past 40 years has stealthily infiltrated what was once a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Not any more, it ain’t!

 

We reckon that we are very close to a dictatorship by MOTU - the Masters of the Universe who cosy up to each other: Wall Street, multi-national business juggernauts, bankers getting 8+-figure pay-packets, politicians in gerrymandered constituencies who never need to bother about re-election.

 

We are totally pissed-off that blue collar wages have not improved by a single cent in 25 years. At the same time, the gap between rich and poor has grown obscenely’. And with the bankers who cost many of us our homes in the sub-prime scandal. How many are in jail?. And the plutocrats and their tax-breaks; remember how the? fabulously wealthy Mitt Romney disclosed how he paid less tax than his secretary.

 

We are sick of aggressive feminazis, the saphist force de frappe and their incessant search for new grievances. And with all this garbage about transgender. There is no such thing; you either have xx chromosomes or xy. All this stuff about trannies being allowed to use the toilets of the opposite sex is a perv’s charter.

 

Soo who is the more valuable member of society – your senator or your plumber?

 

It is long past time when the MOTU were cut down to size.

 

That’s Trumpism!

 

This is for everybody

Who always put me down

I hope you open up your eyes

And take a good look at me now.
