Note: The perverted nature of the liberal bigot mind is never better
illustrated than when they are engaged in betraying their own people to
the interests of foreigners.

Thatcher as with the EU, made the right noises about immigration but
then abjectly failed to take action to make them a reality. Indeed, her
mad championing of the Single European Act, a consequence of her
infantile and incomprehending worship of the god Market, provided the
platform for much of the vast increase in immigration Britain has
experienced over the past 25 years because it gave 400 odd million EU
re3sidents the right to to settle and work in Britain. RH

released

Papers released under 30 year rule reveal full force of Thatcher's fury

... the Downing Street papers also disclose a shocking degree of
personal racism in her own response to the Vietnamese boat people,
initially resisting an informal UN request that Britain take 10,000
refugees on the grounds that there would be riots in the streets if they
were given council housing ahead of "white citizens". She made clear to
her cabinet colleagues that she had "less objection to refugees such as
Rhodesians, Poles and Hungarians, since they could more easily be
assimilated into British society".

Mrs Thatcher even bizarrely proposed to the Australian prime minister,
Malcolm Fraser, that they jointly buy an Indonesian island to resettle
all the boat people. This forerunner of Oliver Letwin's 2003 idea for an
"asylum island" to take all of Britain's asylum seekers was only blocked
when Singapore complained that it would set up a rival entrepreneurial
city.

Note: I would give a great deal to have been a fly on the wall at
cabinet meetings when she suggested that those in favour of vast numbers
of asylum seekers should be forced to take one into their own homes. The
faces of the liberal bigots in Tory clothing such as Carrington and
Whitelaw must have been a picture. RH


Telegraph
Margaret Thatcher complained about Asian immigration to Britain
Margaret Thatcher thought it was "quite wrong" for immigrants to get
council houses ahead of "white citizens", previously unpublished
government papers show.

By Jon Swaine
Published: 6:45AM GMT 30 Dec 2009

Lady Thatcher privately complained that too many Asian immigrants were
being allowed into Britain. Photo: JOHN DOWNING
Lord Carrington, who had visited refugee camps in Hong Kong where some
of the boat people were being held, gave a "vivid account" of the
conditions there, the minutes show.
He suggested that Britain take 10,000 of them over two years. Failure to
take a significant number would lead to a "damaging reaction" at home
and abroad, he said, and anything less than 10,000 would be "difficult
to sustain" on the world stage.
But Lady Thatcher said that there were already too many people coming
into Britain, according to the minutes.
She said that "with some exceptions there had been no humanitarian case
for accepting 1.5 million immigrants from south Asia and elsewhere. It
was essential to draw a line somewhere".
Mr Whitelaw entered the debate, suggesting to the prime minister that
refugees were a different matter to immigrants in general.
He said that according to letters he had received, opinion favoured the
accepting of more of the Vietnamese refugees.
Lady Thatcher responded that “in her view all those who wrote letters
in this sense should be invited to accept one into their homes," the
minutes disclose.

But there's nobody to elect except more of the same.

It's a collective emotional state afflicting all of us.

We generate the politicians we deserve, creating our "leaders" out of
our own collective emotional state.

It's all there in George Orwell's "Animal Farm."

If your views are so popular then stand for election and change things.

The reality is that the major parties are so close together on just
about everything because they say what people want to hear.

Your views are an aberration.

And the Iraq conflict was wanted by a majority of people. The poll
tax.The death penalty. Speed limits. Face it, you may have the same
views, but millions do not.
They are allowed to get away with undesired actions and stances due to
one thing and one thing only. The apathy of the people.
Millions of people complain about immigration, but they are given the
old "if you don't like it, move" line from arse licking liberals.
Pretty soon, the balance is reached, where the immigrants hold so much
sway, they can overbalance the power in our political parties. Which is
the reason they are so loath to do anything to help.

Why don't you get real and join the real World?
The hard facts are that all large companies are financed by shareholders
from all over the globe.
Much of the companies and financial institutions that operate in the UK are
either owned by foreign holding companies or have shareholders from many
countries, or both.
Just for starters, if you stopped foreign owners the power companies that
supply the UK would no longer exist.
You are living in a dream World

Don't talk rubbish, Cameron's declared policy is to cut, cut, cut.
That would see exactly the same situation as Thatcher brought about - the
destruction of UK jobs, companies and a dive back into deep depression.
Trouble is that as Thatcher destroyed the UK manufacturing industry, steel,
gas, coal and much of her financial institutions, there is nothing left
except Scottish North Sea oil and the service sector.
There just are not enoght jobs in McDonald's, Southern Fried Chickens and
ASDA to earn enough in taxes to keep the country going.
Where on Earth did you learn economic policy?

By the way, Brown is my constituency MP and I have actively campaigned
against him in every election he has ever stood in.

My God! They base their political loyalties upon a writer of fiction and a
bloody cartoonist and expect people in the real World to take them
seriously!!!!
No wonder the UK is in line to sink without trace.
Will I tell you what will happen if you get your way?
Scotland, Wales will vote Labour and England will vote Tory.
There will be a massive swing to the independence parties and the UK will be
no more.
Then England will finally learn that she has been living off the backs of
the rest of the UK and will go into dramatic decline.
To get out of it Cameron, or his successor, will crack down even harder upon
all but the very most upper class and England become the poorest country in
Europe.
There is only one way out of a depression. You have to get the taxpayer
paying tax and bankrupt business pays no tax and neither does the
unemployed.
If you do a Cameron and cut, where you should not, you close business down
and throw people out of work. Out of work businesspeople and unemployed
workers draw out of the system,. If that causes you to cut some more then
you are on the way out.

If you really cared about this country why do you keep trying to split
families up with religious bigotry.

It ain't Lewis Hamilton who chucks bricks through your window, Jenson
or Damon who run over your kids pissed up.... Chris Ewbank only does
his job, like soliders do, not like thugs who kick your mate
unconscious and cause them to drop out of college.

Britain has had enough of bullies and all their racist and sexist
friends. We think it is THEIR turn to be second class citizens for
once!

Do you want leaders who inspire you as individual men, women and
children rather than farm you like livestock...

I have no problem whatsoever with Nationalism. A nation has rich and
poor , minorities and majorities , natural integration and natural
segregation...

Apartheid is dead. Third reich is dead. When you are, do you want to
be missed? If so get yourself a life , job , hobby or girlfriend /
boyfriend of consensual age if possible.

In ain't any pop star that's the problem- their not emptying your bank
accounts. That's best left to chauvinist financiers and oppressive
regimes that execute women for the crime of being female. Cos sexist
pigs in the media have made stupid men hate women. Little fucking
boys, the lot of them.

Shove your IQ tests up your fucking arse, with your snobbery, racism
and abuse of women and kids. Are all of us guys who love daughters -
out of the English "man's club" or something? Hatred of the poor in
one true sign of lack of any sense of class, isn't it just.
Obviously you care so little about your own family that you'd disown
them if they were a different fucking colour or something. Please go
fuck up someone elses life like other child abusers - or maybe not.

"English guys have become emotional retards"....

all the main parties are socialist and incompetent to some degree.

The problem is an electoral system that makes it difficult for
individuals to get elected without sponsorship of a party.

Add in the lack of a constitution with teeth and we have problems.

Anyway I'm not eligible, but not hungry either to become lobby fodder.

The system did not bother Margo McDonald or Dennis Canavan when they parted
company with their former parties.
The thing about independents is that they have to either be well known or
have a really good platform to run on. Some have made it after some really
bad actions by an MP and going on a ticket of clean up parliament.

If you want to go into politics, I recommend that you learn about capital

The extreme right wing are nothing more than a bunch of racist bigots who
know little about politics and they treat the subject like a rabid
Christian, or rabid Muslim.
It then comes down to their particular Credo, I believe in *** *****, and
they can never give a lucid reason for their extreme views.
By the way they go on it seems they are motivated by hate, stupidity and
fear.
If a right wing paper prints any kind of lie they swallow it whole and it is
engraved upon their stone tablets forever more.Ask them for official
figures, though, and they quote a media rag or just spout rubbish that,
"They believe".
Mind you, extreme left wingers are little better.
Both extremes of the political spectrum are real nutters.

Oh I'm sure everyone is glad to hear that. No problem lads, the recession is

Short memories.
The last Tory lot robbed the UK of its manufacturing base. Privatised the
services that the taxpayers owned and made the banks and financial
institutions into gamblers with other people's money.
Then this bunch of numpties have the stupid idea that it is all Labours
fault as others are out of the recession and the UK isn't. Thing is that the
others have a manufacturing base to get them out of depression and Thatcher
sold ours off, (and I'm not even a Labour voter).

Don't talk shit.
The whole World went into recession are you really blaming Brown for a World
wide recession?
Just what would a Tory Government have done to avoid the recession?
They would have had no more control over the financial institutions that
brought the World to its knees than Brown had?
Just explain to everyone the exact steps a Tory government would have taken
to prevent the recession?

My bet is you are big on blame but short on knowledge of political actions.

It does nothing to stop any legitimate person from registering.

Yes it is.

Not really, it will only cost them money if they lose their deposit and,
unless they have no chance in the first place, they will not lose it.
Into the bargain, if they are good enough, they could be sponsored by such
as the trade Union, trade association, Co-op, CBI, Rotary Club, Community
Council, residents association.

I never make evasive responses dearie, you're thinking of yourself again.

No one mentioned 'lost out' except your most illustrious and omniscient self
of course. It was a question of those responsible for 'destroying' the UK
economy and there I think you'll find that bankers played a very, very large
part by their greed, foolishness and incompetence.

I've asked you before but you seem unable to explain your claim. What has
Brown done that ruined the economy?
He had no control over the private companies that brought the UK to its
knees.
The Government does not even control the bank of England now.
It was Thatcher who took away control of the coal, electricity, gas,
railways and public transport and it was Thatcher who took such as the TSB
away from the people and it was Thatcher who turnrd the ultra-careful

financial institutions into gamblers with other people's money.

So tell us just what actions a Tory Government would have taken to avoid a
WORLDWIDE recession?

There are ways to make government cut backs without cutting jobs and
government functions.

Every person you throw out of work by cutting jobs belongs to an average
family of a couple with 2.5 children.
Each of them needs to be financed and, if out of work, they cannot spend so
the retail sector suffers and orders dry up. Then manufacturers have to pay
off people who add to the problem and shops pay of others and the spiral
goes down and down.

Do you know how the USA got out of the Great Depression?

Rubbish! So was it just a coincidence that the pits shut, steel production
died, the car industry went elsewhere, the public sector services sector
ended up in private hands, The air services went too as did the defence
industry.
Telecomms went to private hands as did the railways - which, by the way, now
cost the taxpayer more than when nationalised. She onle deregulated public
transport.

We were left with dependence upon North Sea Oil, North Sea gas and the
deregulted financial services. We don't even make our own white goods now as
they went to Italy.

The Mad Cow was the head of the worst government of my lifetime.ay.

What makes you think that I'm a socialist?
Just because I defend Brown from a load of obvious lies does not mean I'm a
socialist.
Name a single socialist policy that I have advocated?

You just have not got a clue about political matters and you seem motivated
much more by hate and myths than any real political sense.
Such is the way of extreme right wing political people.

You blame Brown for causing a World wide recession that any clear thinker
knows was caused more by USA financial institutions.

In point of fact both World wide recessions were caused be the USA and in
both cases the US government in power were right wing.

The truth of the matter is that right wing policy will always lead to
financial crisis as will extreme socialism, (communism is not socialism
anyway).
History proves those points.

As a voter, how much attention do you pay to the sponsorship
of the candidates? Martin Bell, that bloke who wanted a hospital,
and the man who won a safe Labour seat against a parachute, not to
mention G. Galloway, all managed it; rumours have been rife that
Ms Rantzen and/or Ms Lumley will be standing at the next GE, and I
certainly wouldn't bet against their chances. Surely it has more
to do with popularity than with party membership/sponsorship?

The point about party membership is that it saves you having
to explain to the electorate what you stand for. If you have some
other way of explaining, eg because you appear on TV or because you
have a popular local cause, then you can manage without a party.
If you're an unpopular crackpot, ....

No constitution "has teeth". It rules by consent. If there
is no consent, and sometimes even if there is, then the army steps
in, and the constitution is irrelevant.

No profit whatsoever.
People who make the kind of judgements that you do are never likely to
change.
The simple reason being that your political leanings are not driven by logic
in the first place.
In the second place is your tendency to jump to silly conclusions.
You have claimed that I am a socialist yet I have never voted for a socialst
party in over 70 years.
Yet I have never advocated any socialist policies that you could name.
That means your logic is flawed as all my posts prove is that I am
anti-extreme right wing politics.
Actually you sound rather like one of those, "Priviledged few who want to
protect themselves", at the expense of the many.
I'm also extreme left wing politics.

Now! Answer this question that I'm sure will interest other posters.
What should Brown done that would have prevented the United Kingdom from
going into recesson?

my part is not to 'interest other posters'...

there is such a catalogue of foolishness and incompetence
it would be hard to know where to start...
i've seen zero that he has done well...and there is nothing i've seen
that suggests even basic intelligence...

the only person the clown has ever serves is himself and his
self-interest...

'recession'? i doubt you have the slightest understanding of how
'the recession' was generated or aggravated by the clown...

the end of boom and bust...and yet you believe him intelligent....

now you are in a worse bust than any other g8 economy....
and he's trying to borrow his way out of that...
but then there is an election coming....


he has no interest outside himself....
in the long run that is the very reverse of intelligence....

still, if you're 70 + your childhood, it is hardly surprising that
you received no adequate education in economics....in britain
but then of course neither did the clown...

then add in the exaggerated ego of the clown and a ludicrous
attachment to socialism...
and nothing but disaster could ever be the outcome...

you also appear to suffer from the arrogance of ignorance....

just where does one start with such ignorance?

you are taken in by the clown....such naivete is badge enough for
your lack of analysis

how does one get you to the point you are less naive?
again that arrogance of ignorance....you actually believe you
have ability despite your ignorance...

one cannot educate a person who has no insight

first one must work to develop your insight!

you're in a self sustaining mental trap....

Party every time unless there is disgust with the party. There are
many examples of a sitting MP disowned by the party and getting
elected. That's where popularity comes in. Bell would never have got
elected without local disgust with the party

You've come up with a series of trivial reasons, some verging on the
paranoid, for not getting involved in politics.

The real reason is either you are paranoid or you don't have the ability.

I don't really care which.

The only avenue left open to you is violent revolution, although I get
the impression that you're against things rather than being for anything
much.

I await the sound of gunfire from the hills...

"Any number under six"
The answer given by Englishman Richard Peeke when asked by the Duke of
Medina Sidonia how many Spanish sword and buckler men he could beat

single handed with a quarterstaff, however, he soon changed his mind


about this following an unfortunate skirmish involving 5 of the Dukes
finest Spanish Precision Sword-Throwers, which left Peeke with 5
swords firmly and somewhat embarrassingly embedded in his buttocks:)

Sorry, no offence intended but I thought it made a fitting end for
Peeke and for a daft sig file!

It's not corrupt, the potential for jewellery for corruption exists.

This potential exists in all electoral systems.

Have you any evidence that any of the various returning officers and
electoral offices in the UK are corrupt?

If you have then you should report it at once to the appropriate
authorities. It is a very serious crime.

I'm not really bothered by his political leanings. He posted a valid
question that needs answering given the slagging off Brown is getting
from you and Abelard. I am no fan of Brown or the labour party,
Indeed I detest them as much as I detest the tories but if you
criticise his actions then at least explain how you could have
mitigated the situation if you were in charge of the economy.

Merely repeating 'Brown is a clown' and 'you're a socialist' ad
nauseum just gets me hitting the kill thread button.

While the PM could have affected the results of the World wide depression
upon the UK any claim that he was responsible for it shows the claimant is
quite ignorant of World wide, and UK, economy workings.

> the end of boom and bust...and yet you believe him intelligent....

In fact his term as Chancellor was indeed the longest unbroken period of
sustained growth that the UK has ever enjoyed.
Furthermore, that growth only ended after he stopped being the Chancellor.
In case you had not noticed Alistair Darling was Chancellor when the World
wide recession, that led to the depression, began.
Furthermore, it began in the USA where the financial pattern that the Mad
Cow admired so much, and imported to the UK, has long been the norm.

Is it not strange how self appointed ecomony experts are so uneducated in
the subject that they follow the ecomomic policies that have led the World
into recessions yet do not know the only successful method of ending them?

I asked already but got no answer, How did the USA manage its economy to end
the Great Depression?
Perhaps the question should have been, "How did the USA get us into the
Great Depression?

Remember that the Great Depression began under Hoover, and his deep belief
was a policy known as, "The Efficiency Movement", that held government and
the economy were riddled with inefficiency and waste, and could be improved
by experts who could identify the problems and solve them". Sound familiar
to you, does it?
The very healthy USA ecomomy went into The Great Depression and dragged the
rest of the World down with it.

The end of the Great Depression ended in the USA under Franklin Delano
Roosevelt , who followed the policy known as, "The New Deal", which was
basically the Keynesian Theory and was summed up as, "The 3Rs". of giving
Relief to the unemployed and badly hurt farmers, Reform of business and
financial practices, and promoting Recovery of the economy during
depression. Sound familiar too?

What a stupid claim. You have no knowledge, whatsoever, in what my education
has been.
Therefore, you are once more making rash assumptions. You are very prone to
do this as your posts show.
I can only presume it is only further evidence of your many attempts to
insult anyone who has other beliefs than your own.

That clown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - what are you?

In fact I'm a very humble person but it seems to me that the best person to
answer your question is yourself.
Your ignorance is obvious to anyone reading your piosts and the arrogance
that sees you, a nobody, calling the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
silly names is also plain to see.

>
> you are taken in by the clown....such naivete is badge enough for

At least I have made an analysis and have shown conclusions resulting from
that.
BTW: I state again that I have never voted for Gordon Brown although he is
my constituency MP.
You, though, have made no such analysis but instead has made many charges of
several kinds against the posters on these groups and about the Labour Party
and Gordon Brown.
I repeat I do not vote Labour.
Your assumptions and charges without facts marks you out as a fool, arrogant
and ignorant.
In short you are high on accusations and short on facts to back them up.
No one debates with you for you neither listen nor think.
There can be no debate with anyone who spouts dogma for thought and makes
baseless assumptions about your opponents.
You have no idea of what my politics are, you only know what they are not as
all I have done is prove your beliefs to be utter rubbish.
From that you make the leap to me being a labour party supporter, not to
mention your assumptions about my education based only upon my age.
For all you know I could be teaching political science at a leading
University.
As for my political views - your sole knowledge is that they do not agree
with your extreme views.

The only person in this thread showing great arrogance is you and the only
one showing ignorance is also you.
You seem unable to do anything other than call the labour party, Gordon
Brown and anyone who does not agree with you ignorant and arrogant.
Yet to spout your hate and condemnations without being able to state valid
resons is the height of ignorance and arrogant in the extreme.

> one cannot educate a person who has no insight

That is the first sane thing you have ever said in this thread.
Considering the only person who has made rash claims, but without any valid
reasons, is none other than yourself I detect that we just may be seeing the
dawning of some insight in yourself.
>

I'm not the one in a trapped mindset.
I'm the one giving reasons for the economic state of both the UK and the
larger World.
I'm the one, who doesn't vote Labour, who is telling you your
unsubstantiated accusation against both Brown and Labour anr just that -
unsubstantiated.
I'm also the one offering evidence of how/where the recession came about and
how history shows how past depressions were overcome.
You are the one doing no more than laying the blame at the door of 10
Downing Street when the thing started on the other side of the Atlantic and
could not be the fault of the UK government.


You cannot be taken seriously unless you can do more than make
unsubstantiated accusations.
Blind, parroted, soundbites of sheer hate and loathing will convince readers
only that you are ignorant, stupid and arrogant.
Answer the questions - numptie.
