Sick of Nick, Even Sicker Of Pete


Are you as sick of all this talk about the British National Party and the threat they pose to democracy as I am? We need to get over it because the BNP are a minor local irritation. The world is facing a much bigger threat at the moment and it is not even being reported in the press or on television.

Sick Of Nick, Even Sicker Of Pete
by Ian R Thorpe
24 October 2009


I tried not to write anything about BNP leader Nick Griffin on Question Time, my position has been made clear many times before.I do not agree with BNP policies but feel we are straying onto very dangerous ground if we start banning elected representatives from appearing on certain television shows because certain people dislike their views. Having said that, I did not watch Question Time this week not because of the controversy but because I have not watched the programme for over ten years.

By the same criteria I resolved not to read any of the news coverage on Griffin's appearance. This resolution was going well until the Minister for false tans, Ronseal Man, the plank of wood formerly known as Peter Hain started popping up everywhere to tell anyone who would listen that he was really really angry that the BNP had been invited to take part in Question Time. In fact Mr. Hain was more than really really angry, he was really, really, really angry. So angry that his false tan or woodseal or whatever began to go streaky. Why is Mr Hain so angry? It seems that thanks to the appearance by the BNP leader on Question Time 22% of British voters would be prepared to consider voting for the BNP.

This sudden surge in popularity is, according to Hain, all due to one man being one fifth of the panel on an hour long political talk show. In the eyes of the left wing elite it is nothing to do with the fascistic activities of Unite Against Fascism or the Nazi antics Anti Nazi League in trying to stop Griffin appearing on the show that is driving people to the BNP. Nor is it anything to do with mainstream politicians like Peter Hain and his Labour Colleagues, The Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats being so corrupt and self serving and as utterly out of touch with real life and the fears and ambitions of ordinary people as it is possible for a gang of corrupt, amoral, self serving, snouts-in-the-trough hypocrites to be.

The problem is nobody trusts politicians any more.

And why should we? The representatives of mainstream politics have messed up the economies of developed nations, turning all our national communities into something resembling third world basket case nations but while they did that they indulged their taste for fine living and lined their own pockets.

They have pursued internationalist agendas aimed at subjugating national cultures in their quest to build a global system with one central authority. The advantage of this of course is the loftiest level of the global hierarchy is so remote from the ordinary people nobody can be held to account for anything.

Even now they are making plans for the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit which while ostensibly aiming to agree a binding treaty on how to fight climate change will take us several steps nearer to the creation of that One World Government, the New World Order beloved of conspiracy theorists.

So, I say to you Mr. Hain, it may go against the grain (to sustain the wooden metaphor) but you and your parliamentary buddies are responsible for increasing the BNP's popularity and you are going to live with them. Many voters feel they have less to fear from the BNP than they do from the established parties. Just as the EU rode roughshod over the wished of the Irish voters as expressed at the ballot box, just as the EU rode roughshod over the results of referenda in various nations which rejected the proposed EU Constitution aimed at moving the member states toward a single superstate by bringing it back as The Treaty Of Lisbon with certain clauses of the draft constitution re-phrased so certain member states would not be bound by their consitutions to hold a vote, just as the Democratic Party in the USA changed the rules and changed them again and again and again to block Hillary Clinton's bid for the candidacy and hand the nomination to the Goldman Sachs hireling Barack Hussein Obama, just as when the Republicans seemed to be edging ahead in polls a concerted attack on the American economy in global financial markets handed the Presidency to the puppet Obama who dances when the global finance houses jerk his string, we the punters have much more to fear from mainstream politicians than from any fringe group no matter how extreme or how odious.

And for the record Mr. Hain I am really really really\angry with you for opening your mouth because next time a BNP member is on Question Time I will have to watch just to show you that Ronseal stained planks like you do not tell me what I can and can't watch on television. Which is pretty much the reason why more people now find they might consider voting BNP. People do not like being told what to do by smug twat5s whith fake tans Mr. Hain

Labour's Minimum Wage Scam
When you hear of a Conservative politician praising Labour for creating a 'flexible job market' that benefits British employers it does not ring true. What Lord Freud was really praising the government for was letting bosses screw their workers by turning a full time job into a part time job. Not the sort of jobs policy you expect from Labour but we're always said they are more Tory than the Tories.

Authoritarian Box Ticking Culture.
Among the things that have alienated people from the Labour party apart from generakl incompetence, is their arrogant and patronising conviction the public are resady to believe anything the government tells them so long as it is dressed up in statistics and delivered by some fresh faced, smooth talking Labour spinmeister. It is very like the authoritarian regime of Orwell's 1984

Change You Can't Believe In
by James Dahlberg
For his first contribution to The Daily Stirrer James looks at how the popularity of Barack Obama, the Yes We Can" man has collapsed from the record levels seen right after his inauguration as President to the latest polls that make him the most unpopular president ever after a year in office. The economy, unemployment, the disatrous health reform bill and weakness on foreign polcy have played a big part but how much is due to the failings of man himself.



Massive Overdose Protest
by Ian R. Thorpe

Te Merseyside Skeptics Society (or more accurately the selective Skeptics Society as they only seem to be skeptical about what it is fashionable to be skeptical about) are going to protest about himeopathy today by gathering outside Boots Chemist, Liverpool and taking massive overdoses of homeopathic remedies...Right, who gives a shit, but this is a very funny post on the irrationality of the protesters without supporting homeopathy Homeopathy: Massive Overdose Protest
