I Like The Word "Fool"

I like the word “fool”. It isn’t too offensive but sets the tone quite nicely. Next subject, or is it the same subject, is David Cameron or Dave as I am sure his chums call him. I am not sure how long he has been the leader of the Conservative Party but it is around the two year mark, so only now does he finally grasp the nettle and tackle the subject of immigration head on. It must be co-incidental that the Labour Party have recently also begun to talk about the issue.

Mr Cameron believes that net immigration is “currently too high”. Funny that, I thought that both Labour and the Tories thought immigration was good for us and that our society would collapse without it. I also understood they believed it was racist to discuss such issues. Apparently this is not the case, unless the “extreme-right” British National Party are discussing the issue. Of course, the BNP have been warning of the dangers of mass immigration for many years and have been vilified by the liberal-left media and the “Big 3” political parties. Does this now mean that Mr Cameron believes the BNP have been vindicated in all they have been saying? Is he going to sign up? No, of course not. Despite the BNP policies on immigration being no different to what I am sure Dave and Gord will be suggesting the BNP are still seen as a “threat” to democracy etc etc.

It seems that both Labour and the Tories are trying to steal the BNP’s thunder, but we must not forget the basic difference here. The BNP has always said that mass immigration is wrong, Labour and the Tories actively encouraged it and allowed the situation we now find ourselves in, to happen. Therefore they are now trying to put right what they put wrong. But when push comes to shove will they actually do anything about it? Well, Labour certainly won’t, they rely too much on the immigrant vote. The Tories? Well, they won’t be able to as they are not in government and neither are they a credible government in waiting and even if they were I think they would shy away from the issue for fear of upsetting anyone. Of course, it will fall to the British National Party to say it like it is and bring us the facts, the mainstream politicians cannot be trusted.

I visited London last week and whilst there noticed flags hanging in the Mall. I obviously recognised the Union Flag but these were interspersed with a greeny thing which I recognised as the Saudi Arabian flag. I was somewhat puzzled as to why these were there but all has become clear today, as I understand we are being visited by the Saudi Arabian King Abdullah. It seems that as upholders of a fine anti-democratic tradition they are being entertained by the British government. Foreign Office minister Kim Howells has already told a conference that Britain and Saudi Arabia could unite around their “shared values”. Presumably this is why King Abdullah has decided to lecture the British government on terrorism in that they did not pay enough heed to warnings about terrorist activity here. I’m sure we will also see the British government lecturing the Saudi king on human rights as with our “shared values” I have every confidence that when the Saudi king returns home he will make sweeping changes to the way things are done there….. or perhaps he won’t!

Finally today, cruel though it may be, I had to stifle a titter regarding the news that international development minister Shahid Malik was detained at Washington’s Dulles airport whilst his luggage was apparently searched for explosives. I would like to put the record straight here as I am sure they were not searching for explosives at all, but were looking for the excessive amount of money he has claimed in expenses.
