Alright, you fuckers. You remember the 22 October 2009 Question Time? The Nick Griffin hoo-ha with the rest of the panel bricking it? The rest of the panel, that is, with the exception of Bonnie Greer. Oh the irony. Bonnie earned high praise that night because she was the only one on that set not hyper-ventilating. I’m guessing it’s because she was brought up with the First Amendment and she’s not interested in attempting to control what other people say.
Anyhoo
Bonnie will be holding court down in Dalston on 5 December. bonniegreer flyer
For any of you who can’t make it, a reminder of the night we were all glued to our seats:
Shout-out to Able Seaman Class 1 Kate Nesbitt, who has my gratitude.
“A 20-year-old medic who repeatedly rushed forward to save colleagues while under attack from the Taleban has become the first woman in the Royal Navy to be awarded the Military Cross and only the second in the Armed Forces.
Able Seaman Class 1 Kate Nesbitt tended wounded colleagues from 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines several times when they came under fire while on patrol in Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defence said: “Able Seaman Nesbitt’s actions throughout a series of offensive operations were exemplary. Under fire and under pressure her commitment and courage were inspirational and made the difference between life and death. She performed in the highest traditions of her service.”
The Military Cross is given to members of the Armed Forces “for exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy”, and ranks below only the Victoria Cross and Conspicuous Gallantry Cross as a recognition of bravery in battle. Source
We’re in the midst of a new wave of anti-gay hate crimes.
No shit. Hummm, and who might the perpetrators be?
Internet chatter has increasingly discussed that such increases in homophobic hate crime is the result of the failure of multi-cultural policies to address the widening gulf between the views of new citizens from countries where homosexuality is seen as morally wrong and those UK citizens who don’t. Comments posted invariably state that most perpetrators of homophobia have been either of black or Asian origin. Many site the growth of Islam and religious fundamentalism as being a catalyst for such problems. source
Once again, I thank Labour for their cultural relativism – my rights (erm, the right to walk down the street minding my own business without getting my head kicked in) have been sold down the river to pander to other cultural points of view.
Come on, Guardian. It’s time to tell the whole truth.
And for all you squriming relativists – here is an excellent op-ed by Antonia Senior:
The logical flaws are also obvious. Take female genital mutilation. I think it is an abhorrent, evil crime. Yet the woman slicing out the clitoris of a child with a rusty knife thinks she is doing the right thing. Clearly, one of us is absolutely right and one of us is deluded. If your culture believes in genital mutilation and mine does not, then my culture is right and good and yours is wrong and bad.
This is an argument made persuasively by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the former Dutch MP and political activist. Ali argues that Western feminists retreat into silence when faced with the subjugation of their Islamic sisters, hobbled by their unwillingness to criticise other cultures.
London’s favourite islamist, Anjem Choudary, was hanging down at Dalston’s [in]famous Kingsland Shopping Centre today.
While I didn’t get a pic of the man himself, I did get some snaps of his death cult followers and have posted them on TwitPic for your information.
Most notable was the ocassional frission between the black Christians and the islamists. This encounter was fairly tame; although I did see it kick off a bit between the sides, I didn’t think it prudent to be taking obvious pics of the handbags.
PC Bitseach and I were passing the Auld Shillelagh the other day when she noted that the the murderer of the kid who died there just got 26 years.
I told her, no, that was another kid who also got murdered in a drive-by, but up the road.
This video of Paper Planes pisses me off. M.I.A. should stop bullshitting that this song is about the heartache of making sandwiches for a living. It’s about children aspiring to be Scarface.
I would therefore urge my gentle readers to just listen rather than watch. It’s a disturbing yet compelling explanation of the “senseless” murder of young people, by young people, in Stoke Newington.
O’Neil Denton, Weiled Ibraham, Yusuf Raymond, Jayden Ryan, Alexander Vanderpuije, Jack Bartle, Cleon Brown and the two aged 14 and 16 who still cannot be named, I hope you burn in hell.
She gave our Hillary a salute – but is it too little too late? Will the PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass) split the convention, or at least the general election vote.
Obama could learn a little from Tony Blair; and he should have made his own “Granita Pact” with Hillary a long time ago.
I know some people have old issues with the Clintons, but Mr “Hope & Change” needed to be defeated in the first half of this match.
Listen to the boos in Hillary’s concession speech. I guess it means I’m not the only one who thinks this situation sucks and who’ll be voting for McCain.
I’m keeping up with the peoples’ fight against the Iranian theo-fascists on 
Barf.
