It Beggar's Belief!

We are losing our grip! In Sheffield today Pakistani immigrant communities are complaining about the lifestyle of Roma people who are not adopting the British way of life! Life has surely gone a full circle because what... twenty years ago, we were all complaining about the behaviour of the Pakistani community who were not adopting the British way of life.

They still support the wearing of the burka. They still want the sounds of the mosque echoing across  our inner city communities so do they now understand how we, the English, viewed them changing our inner city lifestyle? 

Now it has hit them.  They live the English lifestyle and suddenly they have a Roma community that does not understand the English way of life and consequently they are now being affected.

This is a graphic warning about the future.  On the first of January hang onto your hats! Literally hundreds of thousands of the poorest and most ignorant people in the world will be allowed to descend upon this country and practice their life style!  For them it will be Utopia because they will squeeze every penny from our welfare system, our benefits system, our health service and our education authorities.

This is being allowed by the EU who are actively trying to destroy the British way of life.  We have been under attack ever since Edward Heath (now widely regarded as a PM with a really unhealthy sexual lifestyle and a close friend of Jimmy Savile) conned the British public to join a European Common Market.

This will continue until we elect politicians who will place the welfare of the public above the ambition of the New World Order. Today we have a PM telling the public at a white tie dinner that austerity is here to stay!

Of course it is here to stay until we ignore the mainstream media. It is here to stay until we ignore television, radio and the Murdoch press.  We only have one option. It scares me to say it because I don't want a single option but Nigel Farage is the single option.  

If we don't get out of the EU we are dead as a nation.  It is probably too late but it is not my world anymore.  The world belongs to my granddaughters... heaven help them because we have really have left them a mess! Most of us are cowards. 

Links to New International

The story that surrounds employees of News International and the links between them and leading politicians and police is building. Ignorant members of the public like me have no way of telling where it is all leading but clearly someone in the Met is driving it on which means that they smell corruption.


Nowhere are the links more closely examined than a chart designed by the BBC website which has brought all the leading players together  and displayed the type of association. I do have to admit that the inclusion of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron is an interesting distraction.


Many people believe that democracy is largely dead in the water and that the world is ruled by the multi national corporations. If this theory has legs then the link between some of our leading politicians and a corporation as large as News International would be a natural progression. 


When a person as close to power as Rebekah Brooks is arrested for a second time and charges as serious as 'perverting the course of justice' are being bandied around then someone, somewhere is onto something. It would only take one honest, incorruptible policeman or policewoman with the courage and commitment to keep digging before a whole can of juicy worms could be uncovered. Remember Elliot Ness?

They were swatted away like flies!

Once again our MPs let us down. I watched much of the Murdoch inquiry yesterday and I wasn't disappointed because I expected nothing and that is what we got. The questions were swatted away like flies from two people who in my opinion had been superbly primed.

One comment from Rupert Murdoch was never pursued because he said that he had been let down by people who he had trusted. Well the first person who had let him down had to be his son James. James Murdoch was the local commander of the family firm because his dad was claiming to be above the routine decision making process.

So given that James had not let him down then who was the next person in the management chain? Well surely that has to be Rebekah Brooks? I missed most of her interview because of bowling commitments but early on she began in very much the same vein.  She knew nothing! She was the captain on the bridge but knew nothing of the pay offs, the phone hacking, the blagging and actually any of the scullduggery associated with former members of the News of the World staff.

The questions continued in a rather benign manner. Everyone was very polite and gosh wasn't it
awfully nice? The Murdochs manipulated and manoevered that committee to such an extent that it was embarrassing. These people are so smooth and prepared that everyone else appears amateurish. They ruled that room from the minute that they sat down.

The bottom line is that IF Rupert Murdoch believes that he was let down by people he trusted then that question should have been pursued so that by the time Rebekah Brooks sat down her backside should have been scalded by the hot seat bequeathed to her.  It was such a waste of time!

How many more...?

They are tumbling like dominoes! I posted on the day that John Yates appeared before the Home Office Select Committee that his performance was so abject that he would be lucky to survive.

I concede that his resignation does not bear comparison to Sir Paul Stephenson because as yet there is no evidence in the public domain that he accepted hospitality from the Murdoch Empire. He did however, fail to examine 11,000 pieces of phone hacking evidence which needs explaining.

Just for fun I am currently examining this list of Common Purpose graduates to find out how many members of the police are included and how far up the ladder they have risen since joining the ranks of the those sponsored by Common Purpose. Sky News has just announced that Cressida Dick will be replacing John Yates. I am not surprised at that. 

I emphasise that this corrosion of police officers will continue until someone examines how some of these people leap up the ladder faster than their counterparts who didn't acquire a Common Purpose 'matrix'.

Who can we trust?

Nicky Morgan MP



Tonight at my local club a rare event occurred. People began to discuss politics and in particular the News International crisis. Many of them know that I write a blog and they also know that I comment on controversial subjects. Some of them actually read my scribblings but in general they prefer to adhere to the old adage that one never discusses politics or religion in the pub.

Of course this is actually what the Political Class would prefer...they would far rather that we dumbed down our opinions because they can then just get on with their shenanigans. One aspect however did prevail and that was the general mistrust of our politicians.

Politicians today are held in contempt and the name of our local politician, Nicky Morgan, cropped up and local people are aware of how little she represents the constituency! She is first in line when it comes to David Cameron loyalists and she recently was one of 257 politicains who voted for an increase to our EU subscriptions. I ask you who would want to increase public subscriptions to an unaudited, unelected organisation unless their thinking was askew?

Nicky Morgan appears to be just a political animal hell bent on ensuring her future by sucking on the teet of Westmonster. The people of Loughborough are beginning to realise that their hatred of NoLab and Gordon Brown which reflected badly on Andy Reed, was possibly not a great move. But then who can we trust? When all our mainstream politicians, our mainstream media, even our policemen are suspected of elements of corruption then who can we trust?

I keep reiterating that you cannot trust any politician who supports the European Union! The EU is a cancer at the heart of our society ( a bit like climate change) and until we rid ourselves of this catastrophic blight on our country we will never again be a democratic/respected/honest civilisation.

David Cameron

I have recently been a critic of David Cameron so I was very watchful about his handling of the current News International crisis. To be fair he has done exactly what he should have done so I must give him credit.

He has fronted up! He has admitted his failings over the appointment of Andy Coulson and tried to rectify them. He has appointed a judge led enquiry to investigate the hacking accusations...so we are on the right lines.

I still have questions. In the pre-Blair days Civil Servants used to advise the PM. We all remember the hilarious 'Yes Prime Minister' series which highlighted the battle between the amateur politicians and the professional Civil Servants.

Tony Blair (as ever) broke the mould when he politicised the Civil Service and appointed Special Advisors (SPADS) to replace the experienced (and neutral) Civil Servants. Nobody has ever reversed this trend. None of our mainstream politicians has ever corrected this misadventure.

So David Cameron appointed Andy Coulson and Ed Miliband appointed Tom Baldwin both of whom are tabloid journalists. These party leaders shout at each other over the Despatch Box but they are both culpable. They employ these journalists on enormous salaries because they are familiar with the sewer. They swim with the sharks. Until we abolish the Blair culture of the SPAD  (Alistair Campbell) and revert to the professional Civil Servant (if we can find one today) then none of these politicians can ever claim to be clean. After all they support the EU which is still the worst example of corruption in our entire history!

I don't believe it!!!

I have just watched Yates of the Yard embarrass himself live on SKY news. He was exposed as at best a lazy policeman and at worst incompetent. In 2006 he took one day to decide that the Guardian did not have any new evidence in the phone hacking scandal which justified further investigation.

This despite the fact that somewhere in the police vaults lay bags which contained 11,000 pieces of evidence taken from the phone hacker's house. He had a staff of 4000 people and yet still did not think that someone should trawl through the evidence to see who had been hacked!

The impression left for me is that he has somehing to hide. There has to be a reason that those bags were left alone.  I do not believe he has risen to the ranks of Assistant Commissioner without a better track record than the one he displayed before the House of Commons Select Committee today. No wonder Chairman Keith Vaz (yes that Keith Vaz) warned him that he would likely be recalled.

There does appear to be a link between Yates and News International. Nobody can yet speculate how close the link was although the mainstream media are poking about in the mire. The current person being grilled is former Met Asst Commissioner Peter Clarke and he sounds just as incompetent as Yates. Nobody can explain why those 11,000 pieces of evidence were overlooked. It stinks!!

Who is going to jail then?

As the storm clouds continue to gather around the senior executives of News  International I think it is fair to ask which of them stands a good chance of going to jail? Now that the royals are involved and the privacy of Gordon Brown has been breached the police may have to act however reluctantly.

It is clear that officers of the Metropolitan Police have been involved and for that alone prison sentences should be demanded. Their officers  also appear to have been covering up corrupt behaviour which I find criminal. There is little doubt that some of their senior officers have not been acting in the best interests of the public.

Somebody, somewhere has now decided to leak these indiscretions to the public. Who is doing it? Is it the Guardian? How long do we have to wait before the full extent of this media carnage is known? If News International has been routinely hacking the phones of well anyone with the assistance of officers from the Met the potential for blackmail is enormous!

I have long blogged that endemic corruption was at the heart of our political society but it now seems as if it is much worse than even  I could ever have imagined. Can we trust any of them to tackle it properly or will they find a way to weasle around it? Will we find a judge who doesn't have something to hide? To be honest we may even have to face a General Election where we will once again have the prospect of voting for politicians who will offer false manifestos and carry on regardless of the result.

What do they know?

Rebekah Brooks tells the NOTW staff that within a year they will know why they have lost their jobs and why the paper has been closed down. Andy Coulson tells reporters that he would like to speak but can't! Rupert Murdoch is flying in to the UK to take charge of operations. What is going on!?

Let me speculate! If this phone hacking operation has been ongoing for years as has been assumed then just how much material has been gathered and who has been targetted?  One must only assume that the government and more importantly royalty has been under observation. I believe that the Murdoch empire (the NOTW) has information which could if published bring down almost anyone.

For example could they destroy the European Union (unlikely because they profit from it)?  Could they destroy British democracy (already done!)?  So is the target the Royal Family? Do they know what happened to Princess Diana? Are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge under observation?

They know something which is so huge that it will transform our thinking and our lives. This is really our Watergate moment and one day it will emerge and it should. I suspect that the lives (balls) of so many of our leading figures are firmly in the hands of Rupert Murdoch and they know it! The Cameron/Coulson/Brooks relationship is far too close for the PM's comfort. Even Red Ed can sniff that one but will he dare to investigate further? He may discover that they have evidence that he shafted his brother!
