Anjem Choudary - "It is not allowed to target innocent people"

On the Channel 4 News tonight Anjem Choudary used this well worn line that in Islam "It is not allowed to target innocent people" and the interviewer seemed to accept this.

Unfortunately for Anjem Choudary, some of us have good memories. Here's Anjem Choudary from 2009:

"When we say innocent people we mean Muslims, as far as non-Muslims are concerned they have not accepted Islam and as far as we are concerned that is a crime against God... As far as Muslims are concerned, you are innocent if you are a Muslim, then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are a non-Muslim then you are guilty of not believing in God... I must have hatred to anything that is not Islam"

So when Anjem Choudary says that "It is not allowed to target innocent people" he meand "It is not allowed to target Muslim people, however targeting kufr is allowed."

Full video and transcript of UK jihadi murder suspect

I note that the British media seem to have been self censoring what the man with blood on his hands said to that video camera. Here's the whole of his speech, note the bit about being forced to do this by the Koran.

Why are the majority of the British media omitting this part of his speech from their reports?

'The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one. It is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. So what if we want to live by the Shari'a in Muslim lands? Why does that mean you must follow us and chase us and call us extremists and kill us? Rather you lot are extreme. You are the ones that when you drop a bomb you think it hits one person? Or rather your bomb wipes out a whole family? This is the reality. By Allah if I saw your mother today with a buggy I would help her up the stairs. This is my nature. But we are forced by the Qur'an, in Sura At-Tawba, through many ayah in the Qu'ran, we must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I apologise that women had to witness this today but in our lands women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don't care about you. You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? You think politicians are going to die? No, it's going to be the average guy, like you and your children. So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so can all live in peace. So leave our lands and we can all live in peace. That's all I have to say. [in Arabic:] Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.'

But the vast majority of British Muslims...

The line that the vast majority of British Muslims are peaceful and oppose violent extremism is one that I have heard already following the Woolwich terrorist attack and no doubt will hear over and over again on the BBC. But is it true?

Rather than vain hope, let's look at some facts.

From The Telegraph in 2008 (my emphasis):

'The YouGov poll was conducted for the Right-wing think tank, the Centre for Social Cohesion, at 12 universities, including Imperial College and Kings College London. It also found:

• 40 per cent support the introduction of sharia into British law for Muslims

• a third back the notion of a worldwide Islamic caliphate (state) based on sharia law

• 40 per feel it is unacceptable for Muslim men and women to mix freely

• 24 per cent do not think men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah

• a quarter have little or no respect for homosexuals.

Although 53 per cent said that killing in the name of religion was never justified, compared with 94 per cent of non-Muslims, 32 per cent said that it was. Of these, 4 per cent said killing could be justified to "promote or preserve" religion, while 28 per cent said it was acceptable if that religion were under attack.'

From The Telegraph in 2007:

'Forty per cent of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 said they would prefer to live under sharia law in Britain, a legal system based on the teachings of the Koran. The figure among over-55s, in contrast, was only 17 per cent.'

From The Guardian in 2006:

'The poll, by the Washington-based Pew Global Attitudes Project, asked Muslims and non-Muslims about each other in 13 countries. In most, it found suspicion and contempt to be mostly mutual, but uncovered a significant mismatch in Britain.

The poll found that 63% of all Britons had a favourable opinion of Muslims, down slightly from 67% in 2004, suggesting last year's London bombings did not trigger a significant rise in prejudice. Attitudes in Britain were more positive than in the US, Germany and Spain (where the popularity of Muslims has plummeted to 29%), and about the same as in France.

Less than a third of British non-Muslims said they viewed Muslims as violent, significantly fewer than non-Muslims in Spain (60%), Germany (52%), the US (45%) and France (41%).

By contrast, the poll found that British Muslims represented a "notable exception" in Europe, with far more negative views of westerners than Islamic minorities elsewhere on the continent. A significant majority viewed western populations as selfish, arrogant, greedy and immoral. Just over half said westerners were violent. While the overwhelming majority of European Muslims said westerners were respectful of women, fewer than half British Muslims agreed. Another startling result found that only 32% of Muslims in Britain had a favourable opinion of Jews, compared with 71% of French Muslims.'

From The Telegraph in 2006:

'Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.

...

...Twenty per cent felt sympathy with the July 7 bombers' motives '

A small minority we are told. Well according to the 2011 census there are some 2.7 million Muslims in the UK, 4.8% of the total population. Let's extrapolate:

20% feel sympathy with the July 7 terrorists -  540,000 people

68% don't have a favorable opinion of Jews - 1,836,000 people


Feeling reasssured?

Just re the matter of tolerance, here's something that I've never heard the BBC menbtion when discussing attitudes towards homosexuality in the UK.
From The Guardian in 2009 (my emphasis):

'Muslims in Britain have zero tolerance towards homosexual acts compared to their counterparts in France and Germany, according to a survey published today.

The Gallup poll features the results of telephone and face-to-face interviews with Muslims and non-Muslims in the UK, France and Germany and is designed to measure global attitudes towards people from different faith traditions.

It shows that British Muslims hold more conservative opinions towards homosexual acts, abortion, viewing pornography, suicide and sex outside marriage than European Muslims, polling markedly lower when asked if they believed these things were morally acceptable.

The most dramatic contrast was found in attitudes towards homosexuality. None of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable. 1,001 non-Muslim Britons were interviewed.

By comparison, 35% of French Muslims found homosexual acts to be acceptable. '

 So why are British Muslims more radical and extreme in their views than their counterparts in the rest of Europe? Maybe the universities are to blame:

From the first report I mentioned:

'The report's authors found that Islamic societies on campus, operating under the umbrella of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, exert a strong influence on many of Britain's 90,000 Muslim students. A quarter of them belong to Islamic societies and their views are often more extreme.

While three-fifths of society members said that killing in the name of religion was acceptable, an equal number of non-member Muslims said it was never justified. The security services have identified Islamist activism at universities acts as a possible "gateway" to violent extremism. Several terrorists and sympathisers began their extremist careers on campuses.

The authors of the report, "Islam on Campus", lay much of the blame for extremism among Muslim students on the group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks to build a worldwide Islamic state.

YouGov polled 600 Muslim students and 800 non-Muslim students at universities with a high number of Muslims.'

I'm sorry but 'London we have a problem'

Breathtaking hypocrisy at the United Nations

'GENEVA, May 22 – The annual assembly of the UN's World Health Organization adopted a resolution
 and held a special debate today criticizing Israel — the only specific country on the organization's agenda — with Syria demanding urgent action on "inhuman Israeli practices" that target "the health of Syrian citizens."

The WHO resolution against Israel was not yet published, but was likely a copy of last year's condemnation
.
Observers of the world body in Geneva said the annual hypocrisy reached a new low this year.
"To see the Assad regime point the finger at Israel out of professed concern for the health of Syrians is, frankly, a sick joke," said Hillel Neuer, exectuive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch, a non-governmental monitoring group accredited to the UN.'

The cause of the attack remains a mystery?

When even the BBC report thus:

'1744:
Senior Whitehall sources have told the BBC that the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting "Allahu Akbar" - God is Great, says political editor Nick Robinson.

The Prime Minister is expected to speak to the Home Secretary at 18:15 BST from a train to Paris about what is now being treated by government as a suspected terrorist attack, Mr Robinson says.'

If this is true then can anyone seriously doubt that this was an Islamic terrorist  attack?

Presumably the cause will excused as being because of the British Army being in Afghanistan or due to the creation of the State of Israel.

However the real cause looks like Jihad.


UPDATE:

ITV news  are reporting:
'ITV News has obtained footage of a man with bloodied hands and carrying knives speaking into a camera in Woolwich.

He made a series of political statements.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you," he said.'

I await the BBC's reporting of this news...


UPDATE 2:
ITV News  are now reporting:

'ITV News has obtained footage of a man with bloodied hands addressing a camera on a south London street.

He makes a series of political statements before walking towards a man, believed to be a soldier, lying prone on the street.

He then talks calmly to another man stood nearby.'

That ITV link has the video footage but the page seems to have problems, too much traffic?


UPDATE:
Could someone please correct the BBC, 'Allahu Akbar' does not translate as 'God is great' but is called Takbir in Arabic and means 'God is greater' or 'God is greatest'. It's also a cry that readers of this blog may have come across before.

Top 10 warning signs you may be a ‘Guardian Left’ anti-Semite from CiF Watch

Here's the first two:

' 1. You claim the mantle of human rights yet find yourself running interference  for anti-Semitic world leaders and helping to spread the propaganda of Islamist extremists  - and even terrorist leaders who openly call for the murder of Jews.

2.  You claim to condemn racism at every opportunity yet are strangely silent or seriously downplay even the most egregious examples of antisemitic violence.'

I wonder how many of these apply to certain people who I have crossed on Twitter?

It feels like the Right has split irrevocably - Telegraph

Something to worry any democrat.

'The prospect of PR should fill us with horror. It allows politicians to stitch up deals after the voters have had their say and denies the country strong government at moments of crisis. But if neither Labour nor the Tories are capable of commanding a broad sweep of public opinion on polling day, it is where we are headed.'

The funniest Blackadder exchange?

General Melchett: Is this true, Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you? Captain Blackadder: Well, perhaps a little. General Melchett: Well, then, damn it all! What more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court martial offense! Captain Blackadder: I can assure you, sir, that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial. General Melchett: Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!

Or do you disagree.

I grew up on Morecambe and Wise, and will happily watch repeats to this day.

Have you heard of Husby?

If you rely upon the BBC for your news then you won't have. The BBC show seven articles with mentions of Husby, none more recent than June 2012 and all seven relating to people with the surname Husby in the Breivik story. If you click on the 'Elsewhere on the web' link though you get some rather more up to date stories. For there has been some major rioting going on in Husby, a suburb of Stockholm, for a few days now. The BBC's top link is to the Huffington Post which manages to avoid the elephant in the room with a story just talking of 'youths' and 'immigrants' although they did drop a clue with their choice of spokesman for the 'community', one Rami Al-Khamisi from the organization Megafonen, 'which represents citizens in Stockholm's suburbs.'

The Australian Herald Sun has a rather more informative headline 'From the streets of Muslim Sweden' .

100 or more cars torched and the streets of part of a European city filled with flames and blood but the BBC just don't want to tell us, why?

Ray Manzarek R.I.P

Football quiz time - the answer

The answer to my question as to the 5 Premiership players who played ever minute of every Premiership game this 2012/2013 season is this:
Goalkeepers Jussi Jaaskelainen, Amir Begovic, Joe Hart & Simon Mignolet and the only outfield player Leighton Baines.

The BBC ignoring one source of opposition to gay marriage

The BBC report here that there is opposition to gay marriage from 'Several Cabinet ministers' & '34 current and former local (Conservative) party chairmen'. This report details the debate in the Church of Scotland and appears as a headline article on the BBC news website.
Meanwhile this BBC page tells about views of gay marriage amongst:

someone in a civil partnership
Reverend Malcolm Brown, director of mission and public affairs for Archbishops' Council, Church of England
Paul Parker, Recording Clerk for Quakers in Britain
Ed Costelloe, former chairman of Somerton and Frome Conservative Association
Anthony Wells, YouGov associate director
Dr Sharon James, Coalition For Marriage campaign group
  

The BBC do not make space for any reaction to gay marriage from a group that they are normally very keen to listen to. Reading today's Telegraph I think I can see why.

'SIR – We have serious misgivings about the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which seeks to legalise gay marriage.

As imams and Muslim leaders we have a responsibility to fulfil our sacred trust to God and present our view on these proposals on behalf of the Muslim communities we serve.

Marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman that cannot be redefined. We believe that marriage between a man and a woman is the cornerstone of family life and the only institution within which to raise children.

We are concerned that this radical change to the institution of marriage will impact on what is taught in schools. Muslim teachers will be forced into the contradictory position of holding private beliefs, while teaching a new legal definition of marriage. Muslim parents will be robbed of their right to raise their children according to their beliefs, as gay relationships are taught as something normal to their primary-aged children.

We support the numerous calls from other faith leaders and communities who have stood firmly against gay marriage and instead support marriage as it should be, between a man and a woman.'

More on the Palestinian links to Nazis in World War 2 and now

The truth hurts and that's why Islamists, their supporters and apologists try to hide the truth and prevent others from learning the truth. This is true in the Middle East, the rest of the Muslim world and much of the West.

'Among the facts Ms. Ebéné didn't want the visitors of her center to learn is that the Palestinian wartime leader "was one of the worst and fanatical fascists and anti-Semites," as Mr. Rössel put it to me.
...
The mufti orchestrated the 1920/1921 anti-Jewish riots in Palestine and the 1929 Arab pogroms that destroyed the ancient Jewish community of Hebron. An early admirer of Hitler, Husseini received Nazi funding-as did Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-for his 1936-1939 Palestinian revolt, during which his thugs killed hundreds of British soldiers, Jews and also Arabs who rejected his Islamo-Nazi agenda.
After participating in a failed fascist coup in Iraq, he fled to Berlin in 1941 as Hitler's personal guest. In the service of the Third Reich, the mufti recruited thousands of Muslims to the Waffen SS. He intervened with the Nazis to prevent the escape to Palestine of thousands of European Jews, who were sent instead to the death camps. He also conspired with the Nazis to bring the Holocaust to Palestine. Rommel's defeat in El Alamein spoiled these plans.
...
... it is often claimed that the mufti's Hitler alliance later discredited him in the region. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the Mideast, Nazis were not only popular during but also after the war-scores of them found refuge in the Arab world, including Eichman's deputy, Alois Brunner, who escaped to Damascus. The German war criminals became trusted military and security advisers in the region, particularly of Nazi sympathizer Gamal Nasser, then Egypt's president. The mufti himself escaped to Egypt in 1946. Far from being shunned for his Nazi past, he was elected president of the National Palestinian Council. The mufti was at the forefront of pushing the Arabs to reject the 1948 United Nations partition plan and to wage a "war of destruction" against the fledgling Jewish state. His great admirer, Yasser Arafat, would later succeed him as Palestinian leader.
...
The mufti "invented a new form of Jew-hatred by recasting it in an Islamic mold," according to German scholar Matthias Küntzel. The mufti's fusion of European anti-Semtism-particularly the genocidal variety-with Koranic views of Jewish wickedness has become the hallmark of Islamists world-wide, from al Qaeda to Hamas and Hezbollah. During his time in Berlin, the mufti ran the Nazis' Arab-language propaganda radio program, which incited Muslims in the Mideast to "kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history and religion." Among the many listeners was also the man later known as Ayatollah Khomeini, who used to tune in to Radio Berlin every evening, according to Amir Taheri's biography of the Iranian leader. Khomeini's disciple Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still spews the same venom pioneered by the mufti as do Islamic hate preachers around the world '

Major 30% reduction in modelers estimates of Climate Sensitivity (Skeptics were right) « JoNova

'Effectively the power of CO2 to warm just got 30% less, according to a team of researchers, many of whom have in the past have published more alarming papers.  Remember "there is no debate" and "global warming is a fact" a lot "like gravity". (And that gravitational constant g could be revised by a third soon, right?)'

Read the whole article here at Jo Nova http://joannenova.com.au/2013/05/major-30-reduction-in-modelers-estimates-of-climate-sensitivity-skeptics-were-right/

Don't expect any reporting of this on the warmist BBC.

India to Israel thanks to Islamist terrorists Elder of Ziyon: These religious Jewish girls can kick some serious a**

'Sarah wasn’t available for an interview, but she also has quite an amazing story. Born into a Hindu family in Mumbai, India, her father was a friend of Rabbi Gavriel and his wife Rivka, who were both murdered when terrorists attacked the Chabad House (Jewish community centre) in Mumbai in November 2008. Out of solidarity with the Jewish people, Sarah’s entire family converted to Judaism and migrated to Israel in 2009. Sarah took up Muay Thai while studying in a religious school.'

An interesting insight into Jordanian views on how serious shooting unarmed schoolgirls is. They were Jewish so that might colour their opinion.

'Last month, 110 Jordanian parliament members signed a petition calling for the release of Ahmad Daqamseh, a Jordanian soldier who gunned down a group of Israeli schoolgirls on a field trip to the "Isle of Peace" border area of Naharayim in 1997, killing seven.'

Patriotism and the English 'intellectual'

"England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during 'God save the King' than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always anti-British."

George Orwell, 1941.

BBC institutionally pro Labour?

Following the appointment of Labour's James Purnell, BBC are now to appoint Ian Katz deputy editor of The Guardian as editor of Newsnight.

Don't the BBC bosses care about looking biased? Or is it that they know they can't be stopped?

It seems that the Newsnight line on Israel and the Palestinians won't be changing either; read this from 2001 if you can stomach it.

I wonder if it has struck Ms Sherwood that Egypt is blockading Gaza? I wonder if Ms Sherwood thinks that Egypt's blockade is illegal? Maybe Ms Sherwood blames Israel for this as well.

Maybe Harriet Sherwood prefers not to think about Middle East matters, it's easier for her that way.

UNWRA proud to support the aim of destroying Israel

From Palestinian Media Watch:

At the official launch of two German-funded UNRWA projects in southern Lebanon, Director of UNRWA Affairs in Lebanon, Ann Dismorr, posed with a map that erases the State of Israel and presents all of it as "Palestine."

The map includes both the Palestinian Authority areas as well as all of Israel. Above the map is the Palestinian flag and the inscription "Arab Palestine." The text at the bottom of the map also says "Palestine." The neighboring countries Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are all named on the map as is the Mediterranean Sea. Israel is not mentioned or designated anywhere. Several places and cities, both in Israel and from the Palestinian Authority, are included on the map of "Palestine": The Negev desert, Be'er Sheva, Rafah (Gaza), Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, Tiberias and the Dead Sea.

The map was presented at the launch of an UNRWA project to improve the water supply network and rehabilitate shelters in the Rashidieh Camp, and was a gift from the "Palestinian Women's Union," the Palestinian news site pn-news.net reported.

There's more including an explanation of the significance of the pattern on that bag at Elder of Ziyon

Ed Miliband political and economic genius

On 24 July 2012 the BBC reported approvingly:

'Labour leader Ed Miliband has declared the political "tide is turning" against the economics of austerity, after a meeting in Paris with French President Francois Hollande.

He said he and Mr Hollande agreed that Europe needed a "different way forward" to deal with the debt crisis.

...


Mr Miliband held a half-hour meeting with the French president, a fellow centre-left leader, at the Elysee Palace, saying afterwards: "The points of agreement we have were around the fact that the tide is turning against an austerity approach, that there needs to be a different way forward found.

"What President Hollande is seeking to do in France and what he is seeking to do in leading the debate in Europe is find that different way forward.

"We are in agreement in seeking that new way that needs to be found and I think can be found."'

Today the BBC report somewhat less cheerfully that:

'Official figures show France has entered its second recession in four years after the economy shrank by 0.2% in the first quarter of the year.

Its economy shrank by the same amount in the last quarter of 2012. A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

France has record unemployment and low business and consumer confidence.

...

France entered its worst recession since World War II in 2009. Although it was thought to have been in recession in 2012, these figures have now been revised to show only one quarter of negative growth.

The news comes on the first anniversary of Francois Hollande being sworn in as president.

Earlier this month, the European Commission warned that France would enter recession this year and said the eurozone's economy would shrink by 0.4%.

...

In France, the rate of unemployment is running at 10.6% and is forecast to rise further next year.

Its deficit is also expected to rise sharply, the commission says, to 3.9% of GDP - well above the EU deficit target of 3%.

But French unemployment is below the eurozone average, which was 11.4% in 2012 and is expected to hit an average of 12.2% this year. In both Greece and Spain, it is expected to peak at 27%.

The German growth figure was far weaker than expected. Economists had expected to see growth of 0.3%'

So in 2012 Ed Miliband supported Mr Hollande's policies as a way out of the economic crisis and as being better than George Osborne's so called austerity plan. How about now that France has gone back into recession whilst the UK has not? Perhaps the BBC could ask Ed Miliband or the unusually shy Ed Balls that question, perhaps not!

The one hundred and fiftieth weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

This week's award is presented to the Electoral Commission for their conclusion as reported by the Docklands and East London Advertiser that:

'In its latest research, it found “strongly held views” that electoral fraud is more likely to be committed by, or in support of, candidates standing in areas with significant South Asian communities, specifically those with roots in parts of Pakistan or Bangladesh. Tower Hamlets has a large Bangladeshi population.'

No shit, Sherlocks.

No Jewish event can be commemorated without comparing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians with the Nazis' treatment of the Jews - well not by Lynne Jones (@lynnejones_exMP)

Tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of the end of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, the largest revolt against the Nazis extermination of the Jews during the Second World War. The revolt was put down but not before 13,000 Jews were killed in the ghetto during the uprising of which around 6,000 were burnt alive or died from smoke inhalation. Once the revolt was ended the remaining 50,000 residents were mostly shipped to concentration and extermination camps, in particular Treblinka.

Jürgen Stroop's internal SS daily report for written on 16 May 1943, stated:

"180 Jews, bandits and sub-humans, were destroyed. The former Jewish quarter of Warsaw is no longer in existence. The large-scale action was terminated at 20:15 hours by blowing up the Warsaw Synagogue. ... Total number of Jews dealt with 56,065, including both Jews caught and Jews whose extermination can be proved. ... Apart from 8 buildings (police barracks, hospital, and accommodations for housing working-parties) the former Ghetto is completely destroyed. Only the dividing walls are left standing where no explosions were carried out."

Why do I bring this matter up today? First because it's an important anniversary but second because Lynne Jones used this anniversary for one of her customary anti-Israel Tweets:

Subtlety is not really her string point is it, mind you neither is understanding of the reality of the Israel / Palestinian conflict.

As a matter of interest, 18 days after I posted this to show Lynne Jones that Hamas did indeed regularly 
speak hatred against Jews, Lynne Jones has not yet managed to provide a response. Why?

Howard Bloom on The Boston Bombing - Was the cause poverty or oppression?

Again and again sensible, logical people point out the truth but the majority of the west's governments and media are too blind or deaf to listen. They prefer to believe that Islam is 'the religion of peace' and that the West is always to blame.

The Palestinians view of Israel per Pew's latest market research

So we are told that the Palestinians want to live in peace alongside Israel but Pew's market research shows that only 14% of those in the Palestinian Territories think that there is a way for Israel and the Palestinian Territories to coexist peacefully and that 45% support armed struggle as the best way to achieve statehood with another 22% supporting armed struggle along with non-violent and negotiations.

It's strange that the BBC and many western politicians keep telling us that the Palestinians want peace and that Israel's actions are the main obstacles to peace, when the Palestinians have been saying the opposite to pollsters for years. In a 2007 poll, 77% Palestinian respondents said “the rights and needs of the Palestinian people cannot be taken care of as long as the state of Israel exists.” In a 2011 poll, 61% of Palestinians said they saw a two-state solution only as a stepping-stone to Israel’s ultimate eradication.

To give the Palestinians their due, they don't hide their aspirations, it's idiot Western journalists and politicians who should know better, unless their real aim is also the destruction of Israel.

Peter Mandelson and immigration

Lord Mandelson said:

‘In 2004 when as a Labour government, we were not only welcoming people to come into this country to work, we were sending out search parties for people and encouraging them, in some cases, to take up work in this country.’

Remember that between 1997 and 2010, net migration to Britain totalled more than 2.2 million, that's more than twice the population of Birmingham.
Also remember that the annual net immigration figure quadrupled under Labour from 48,000 people in 1997 to 198,000 by 2009.

It was Andrew Neather who let the cat out of the bag when he revealed why the Labour government deliberately opened "up the UK to mass migration" - It was at least in part due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity".

Remember that in this piece I reported the very senior civil servant who said ‘When I was at the Treasury, I argued for the most open door possible to immigration [because] I saw it as my job to maximise global welfare not national welfare.’

Also remember this about the effect of immigration on jobs.

'The myth peddled by Blair's acolytes – that high levels of immigration generated significant economic benefits for the existing UK population – was demolished in 2008 by a House of Lords select committee. It concluded: "We do not support the general claims that net immigration is indispensable to fill labour and skills shortages. Such claims are analytically weak and provide insufficient reason for promoting net immigration." Reinforcing this point, the government's Migration Advisory Committee recently confirmed that immigrants do "displace" some British workers – ie, take their jobs, most likely those at the bottom end of the pay ladder.' 

Nobody should let any Labour  spokesman get away with any comments on immigration, when in power they deliberately engineered a massive rise in immigration, a rise they didn't control because they didn't want to control it. Now as British cities are increasingly split into mono-cultural ghettos and inter-race tensions rise, we are simply reaping the fruits of Labour's policies.


As an aside here's a brief summary of the numbers of people who immigrated to the UK through history:
Hugenots - 40,000-50,000 in 17th century
Indians - 80,000 pre First World War
Africans - Around 15,000 pre First World War
Germans - Around 50,000 pre First World War
East European Jews - 120,000 pre First World War and maybe another 25,000 pre Second World War
Others fleeing Nazi Europe - 50,0000

Let's compare that with immigration post 1997.
Total net migration to the UK rose sharply from 1998 onwards, with levels being above 150,000 in all but one year since 1999. That's 150,000 a year but that's net of Brits leaving the UK.  So an average of 150,000 net is equivalent to half of the immigration to this country across 300 years. Remember that the next time you're told that we've always had immigration into the UK. Also remember that when you hear David Cameron hailing as a success cutting net immigration to under 100,000 a year.

Well done Danny Baker

The Sony radio awards were presented last night and I am pleased to report that Danny Baker won gold in the Best Entertainment Programme section for his 5Live show:

The Danny Baker Show

What the Judges Said

"Danny expertly sews the whole program together with the flair and palpable enthusiasm of someone who oozes with a love and desire to be on the radio." 

I wonder if the 'pinheaded weasels' who sacked Danny Baker from BBC Radio London, and thus caused so many people to have less cheerful and intelligent afternoons, regret their decision.

The same Danny Baker show also picked up a Bronze in the Speech Radio Broadcaster of the Year section:
