We are in limbo at the mo and I have been finding it difficult to find a subject without repeating myself but I just have to pay tribute to our sports people because recently we have had almost unprecedented success.
Despite the reluctance of teaching unions to promote sport in schools we continue to deny their socialist dogma and produce excellent young sports people. Every time that one of our sporting heroes dips beyond excellence someone else takes their place.
This has been the summer of Andy Murray, Chris Froome, James Desaola (who?) and so many others and yet our schools are still not allowed to devote time to exercise. Yes, they are paying homage to possibly a new doctrine of playing field sport (for those who still have playing fields) but every school needs a sports enthusiast and in many primary school males have been banished and those who venture into the hen coup are hardly male physical specimens (I am being very modern here!)
We need, at this level, male role models but how do we attract them? What self respecting male wants to dive into this female dominated world where male physicality and male mentality is conclusively denied.
We have celebrated our sporting success but let us examine it. Andy Murray went to Barcelona to escape the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA|).Chris Froome came from Kenya, our cricket team includes, South African trained, Pieterson, Trott, Prior and other mercenaries (Morgan)!
Our education unions persistently oppose sport in schools because it is good for the kids. They oppose competition because it is good for the kids. They oppose discipline because it is good for the kids. They oppose streaming because it is good for the kids. They oppose exams that sort out the kids which is good for the kids. For decades the teacher unions have opposed every measure meant to benefit the kids.
You may by now be getting my drift!! The teaching unions are not in power to help the kids. For thirty (forty) years they have actively destroyed education in this country. They have manipulated exam results, they have destroyed the credibility of the ENGLISH education system ensuring that English kids are disadvantaged. The education system has been manipulated to disadvantage every child. Our kids cannot speak English as well as the foreign kids. The reason is that they have not been educated in English grammar. Even many of the current teachers do not understand English grammar!
Something has to change. Someone has to challenge the teaching unions so that we can get education back on track. The Unions are led by socialists not patriots and that is why most of our kids know nothing about their heritage and their potential. Somehow we must reintroduce traditional education like I had where fairness and competition are not dirty words.

How Can They Do It?
What do they expect from our troops? They cannot go to war with the thought that 'if I get this wrong I could be charged with murder'! It is ridiculous. If you have just lost your best mate in action then frankly you are not acting rationally. They are not out shopping in Windsor on a Saturday morning.
Is it not about time that our lawyers departed to Afghanistan and hunted for the people who have killed over 400 of our soldiers in this utterly pointless war and asked the CPS to charge them! It is that stupid!
How the hell can our soldiers fight a war against a very aggressive enemy with one hand tied behind their backs? I have consistently maintained for a few years now that there is an element of our Political Class/Civil Servants who do not support our armed forces.
They are hell bent on the destruction of the troops and this is just another example of their agenda.
I know that we must maintain a service code of conduct but when soldiers go to war and could be killed then, believe you me, normal ethics disappear. If you are faced with someone trying to kill you then you don't think twice. You kill him/her!
The enemy of the British Army are very safe in the knowledge that if they are captured then the British Army have so many rules to observe that frankly they will have laugh at us. So many have donned friendly uniform and then reneged on the deal it is not surprising that they are not trusted.
Our problem is that the British Army face not only the Afghan warlords, who have not actually lost an ounce of their power since the joint British/American forces invaded their territory, but they are being stabbed in the back by the British establishment...as ever!
The enemy is not in Afghanistan it is actually in Islington, Tower Hamlets and surrounding suburbs. Most of them travel into Westmonster by bicycle!

The British Police
I watched PM's Question Time today and raised my eyebrows when David Cameron said that we had a 'world class police force'! I just wondered how many members of the public would agree with him?
Before I proceed let me first say that when my son was killed last year in a tragic road traffic accident the police that we met were very good. The two policewomen who broke the news to us could not have kinder. In Scotland the two police (one male and one female) allotted to the case were professional and sensitive. We really appreciated their concern. My son's ex housemate is a policeman and he is always considered one of the family.
So what are my concerns with modern policing? I think that political correctness, Health and Safety regulations and the socialist diversity issues are making policing on the streets almost impossible. Their job, if done properly, is risky. They face danger and that danger cannot be dissipated by legislation. People are people and the police must try and enforce the law. That means they have to have every available back up. They cannot cherry pick their arrests, they cannot decide when and where they patrol and above all they must be even handed and fair.
So today I stumbled across The Ranting Penguin blog and he had addressed the problem. He has randomly collected press reports on the police to highlight their ineptitude. Some of the cases highlighted were ridiculous and this is my concern. Who is directing these loons? Why are they not being disciplined for lack of common sense?
I often visit the Ranting Penguin but if you don't like colourful language you will have to take my word for it. There are far too many cases of lack of judgement for comfort. Too many cases of cowardice, too many cases of bullying and too many cases of prejudice against the indigenous population.
Our police are far too often ....not a world class force!

The CPS ... useless!
Can anyone ever remember a more pointless exercise than the recent case of the two 10year olds being found guilty of the rape of an 8 year old? Why on earth did this case ever come to court? They are all children for heaven's sake! Children do silly things and they do not understand responsibilty. These two kids have now been found guilty of an adult offence which is nonsensical!
Is it not typical of the politically correct CPS that they brought this case into court? They are brilliant at cases which waste public money because most of them have been recruited by NoLab to do just that! They are really ripe for a cull from the Cameron/Clegg mafia. In fact they must be really up there with the BBC for the really sharp thrust from the Cameron/Clegg courtship.
Hang on to your hats you people who were recruited by Common Purpose because I just believe that your world is about to come crumbling down! I am still worrying that the Cameron/Clegg courtship will not push on through but something tells me that they mean business. I suspect that these two public schoolboys are about to rip apart the NoLab agenda and realign our politics.
For thirteen really miserable years we have been subjected to rule by the state. We bowed our heads to the EU and to people like Alistair Campbell who unelected was given a position which terrified most of us. Time to dismantle this communist state rule and I really think that the coalition mean it!
Mind you I still want people like Gorgon Brown, Tony Bliar, Darling, Straw, Harman, the Milibands, Campbell et al brought before a court of law and held accountable for their actions. They have been responsible for the rape of a nation. They have imposed upon a really tolerant nation a set of rules which have ruined us. Most of the English population have stood back and watched the usurption of our country. We never expected that we would lose our country to a Labour party.
I suspect that in the annals of our history we will praise the Cameron/Clegg coalition as the saviours of our country. I Pray and Hope that that they will destroy everything remotely connected with the NoLab Project which has all but destroyed us and in that I hope that this will signal the end of so called socialism in this country!
The Leadership of the NoLab party is an irrevelance. We are sick of all of them. They are gone, dead, an abomination! Time to move forward snd undo all their nonsense. Time to take back our country. The newcomers who have sneaked in under the radar and I know some of them should really exploit their position. We will welcome those people who will contribute to the economy but ... you really must embrace our culture as well. If we beat socialism then our next major problem will be the Muslim Culture. That is for another time.

The Right to Refuse...
There appears to be an almighty row brewing over the the opinion of the leading Tory Chris Grayling that the Christian B&B owners who banned a gay couple from their business had the right to do so. I cannot for the life of me understand why a Conservative party that traditionally has been opposed to any restraint of freedom should concern itself over this issue but then these days the state inteferes with everything.
We should do all that we can to retain all our freedoms (what is left of them)and freedom of association is one of them. If these people for whatever belief want to ban gays from their premises then that is their right. It does not matter what reasons they have because the decision has been made. There are after all plenty of gay only hotels and nobody insists that they accept heterosexuals.
Too many people today are hell bent on insisting that we observe rules and regulations which are anathema to our personal beliefs. When I see some of the poor wtetches who have been allowed to reside in our once green and pleasant land I wince. There is not a cat in hell's chance that I would want my grandchildren to go anywhere near them.
By the same token I am sure that many would not want to bother with an ageing Englishman who has no interest in their life styles or beliefs. We should all have freedom of association and Chris Grayling has nothing to apologise over. If the Tories lose a few votes from a blinkered and petrifed electorate then so be it.

Discrimination....an evil in our society.
The dictionary defines discrimination as a prejudicial treatment of a person or group of people based on sex, religion or race, which means that it is not nice and therefore positive discrimination should not be encouraged. I first remember hearing the words 'positive discrimination' in the nineties and it has been used ever since to shoehorn unqualified or unworthy people into jobs that they did not deserve.
It is now endemic in our society to such an extent that all political parties are imposing centrally selected candidates on local contituency parties so that the leaders will remain in power. There is only ever one reason for 'positive discrimination' and that is to ensure the safety of those who practise it.
Of course, as usual, NoLab have always been the worst offenders and that is the reason that Gorgon Brown was returned as party leader without an election. His sidekicks are all experts at discrimination. Take Harriet Harman and her support for all-female selection lists unless of course it affects her husband who automatically gets a safe NoLab seat without any hint of a challenge from Harriet's female list.
In the last 12 years it has affected all walks of our life as NoLab stooges have been planted anywhere and everywhere ensuring that EU directives are slavishly implanted to disrupt our society.
Then of course discrimination was introduced into the State Police Service through the Black Police Officer's Association, into religion through the Muslim Council Of Great Britain and into everything else by the invidious Race Equality Commission. Discrimination is everywhere in our modern society unless of course you are a white middle aged British male. You do not have representation. You do not have any society to protect you. The BNP have been throroughly denograted by their stance of white only membership even to the point where they have been legally forced to accept membership from non-whites.
Nothing is ever done however, about the discrimination which surrouonds the white indigenous population in the UK today. None of is is necessary! We have laws which should apply to everyone without fear of favour. Those forming their discriminatory groups should be brought into line. Anything which is discriminatory against anyone should be legally banned. Ouch! What would Harriet do then? Her whole life has depended upopn discrimination against someone or other. How could she live without discrimination?
The white indigenous population still pay most of the taxes that Gorgon squanders so magnificently. However if you are attacked you will not receive police protection. If you fight back you will be arrested. If you cannot afford to pay for private education your children will suffer struggling alongside immigrant kids who cannot speak English. If you are ill you queue behind thousands who have never paid a penny into the NHS. If you complain then you are a racist.
Get the picture? I won't even get into what awaits you when you become aged and infirm because after my last post you will have some understanding of your fate. It will not be pretty. You possibly have one last chance in May to stop all of this nonsense. Of course if you are happy to be discriminated against, if you are so stupid that you will still vote for Gorgon Brown, Harriet Harperson and her husband, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, the Balls pair or any of the Westmonster Political class then you deserve your fate.
There should be NO safe seat for anyone in the Political Westmonster class. Surely the people in Kirkcaldy can see what Brown has done to this country? If any person has the courage to challenge the political elite then please support them. It doesn't matter who they are or what they are because we must break the strangle hold of the thieves who have stolen money from the public purse and ruined the country into the bargain. Cameron says 'Vote for Change' but what we need is a huge change and he is not capable of delivering it!

Political Correctness
Years ago when I was a serving soldier I often had to travel through the old East Germany to reach Berlin which was an island of democracy in an ocean of communism. At that time the people were even too scared to wave back when greeted as we sped through rail stations. East Germany was a dreadful country and I still remember wondering how it would be if one couldn't trust a neighbour or even a family member because they were all spying on each other.
The introduction of political correctness which has replaced free speech generally regarded as the lynch pin of democracy is changing our society much quicker than I ever thought possible but then comes the case of Carole Thatcher.
Apparently in a light hearted remark she likened the hair of a tennis player (Andy Murray) to that of a 'golliwog'. Anyone who has seen Andy Murray knows that generally he has an unkempt appearance. Now along come all the experts debating the connortations of the word 'golliwog' and almost without exception they refer to the trademark of Robertson's jam which depicted the happy smiling face of a little black boy.
They forget that the real golliwog was a soft padded doll which white kids used to take to bed and cuddle as they dropped off to sleep. It was never meant as a racist weapon.
I agree it is not nice to be told for example "You can shut up Golly" but then it wasn't nice when I was told "You can shut up you Ginger bastard".
The case of the ethnic minorities in this country has been advanced far further than I would ever have believed. Very few people even see race today apart from those who have a massive chip on their shoulders. If they can use a harmless child's doll as a weapon to illustrate racial hatred then in my opinion they should get over themselves. It is pathetic!
Carole Thatcher has been attacked by the BBC because she was the daughter of a former Tory Prime Minister and does not agree with NoLab. It is pure spite.
UPDATE
I now know that she wasn't referring to Andy Murray and was indeed referring to a black tennis player but the sentiment remains the same. People like Jo Brand who poses as a comedienne take their politics very seriously. Her humour is offensive but she is very quick to take offence even when none is intended.

The Army and Political Correctness.
The Prince Harry clanger, albeit a snippet of film taken three years ago, took a step forward today with almost every current affairs television programme and all the papers revisiting it. Most of them clearly have no relevant experience of forces life but pride of place for drivel must go to GMTV for their interview with a young man apparently representing a group called The Ramadan Society.
Not even Google could enlighten me on the nebulous Ramadan Society. Now I generally like Ben Sheppard, he is a bloke's bloke but this morning he gave this guy a very easy ride. He allowed this disrespectful young man to rant on about a member of our Royal Family which included a reference that Prince Harry was a racist and should be made to visit Muslim groups in person and apologise!
Now I am not a particularly avid royalist. I often think that Prince Harry behaves like a prat but he is part of the leading family of this once great nation and I objected strongly to the tones that this 'oick' was using (and that is a derogatory term)!
His own racist rant completely backed up my claim yesterday that many of the Muslims in this country, particularly those emanating from Pakistan, have no idea what makes us tick and have never bothered to find out. They have their own agenda and the oick could not wait to take advantage of a situation created by the weak kneed idiots who believe that political correctness can replace efficiency, loyalty and bravery.
Political correctness has never really touched the army. Yes I know that Colonels refrain from mentioning 'Bongo-Bongo' land these days when briefing the troops but the personal friendships are still laced with the most horrendous references of any weakness that can be detected in the guy who sleeps in the camp bed next to you. It is called army humour and is born out of extreme hardship. The kind of hardship which would cause the supporters of political correctness to cry like babies.
One only has to read the Andy McNab books to uncover frequent references to Ragheads and Pakis. It is standard army vocabulary and let's face it the soldiers are fighting Ragheads and Pakis so when the Ragheads and Pakis stop protecting Al Quaida and joining the Taliban then they may gain some measure of respect.
I suspect that the Officer Ahmed referred to by Prince Harry as 'our Paki' had names for Prince Harry which were every bit as rude but then only they know that. If some of these moaning Muslims would contribute to this country instead of attacking it at every opportunity then they might earn some respect. Yes and I do know that there are many thousands of Muslims who have integrated into our community and are contributing. Clearly this post does not refer to them.

Political Correctness
I see Prince Harry slipped up again and the idiots who have ruined our native humour have once again jumped on their own particular bandwagon. What I want to know is when and why is the term 'Paki' deemed to be derogatory. If a person originates from Pakistan is it not reasonable to refer to him as a 'Paki'. What is wrong with that?
I can quite understand that if one is a Hindu or a Sikh then being called a 'Paki' would definitely be offensive. This is because only the people originating from Pakistan would want to be associated with the country. The rest of us generally regard it as a haven for lunatics, not merely because of the conduct of many of their citizens but because their beliefs, traditions and dress are so alien to the British or even to the rest of the world.
I believe that the reason that 'Paki' became an unwanted term was purely down to the alien behaviour of their citizens when they arrived in this country. So many were just unable to understand the new culture that surrounded them that they massed in ghettos and were subsequently rejected. I am sure that this spawned the hatred that emerged in the Bradford race riots and the attack on the London Tube.
The problem is that their alien way of life continues even after all these years. We still see their girls being forced into marriage and they have also been allowed to set up their own councils which hardly encourages them to integrate. Making the word 'Paki' politically incorrect does not change the situation one jot. They are still strange people in a strange country and they hate us for it even though we didn't ask them to come here in the first place!
