disabled and handicapped" Jews to avoid having to care for them, according to a Hamas TV educational program. As much of the world prepared to commemorate Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Hamas TV presented its latest sinister twist on Holocaust denial.
The Hamas TV educational program, broadcast last week, taught that the murder of Jews in the Holocaust was a Zionist plot with two goals:
1- To eliminate "disabled and handicapped" Jews by sending them to death camps, so they would not be a burden on the future state of Israel.
2- At the same time, the Holocaust served to make "the Jews seem persecuted" so they could "benefit from international sympathy."
Amin Dabur, head of the Palestinian "Center for Strategic Research" explained that "the Israeli Holocaust - the whole thing was a joke, and part of the perfect show that [Zionist leader and future Israeli prime minister] Ben Gurion put on." The "young energetic and able" were sent to Israel, while the handicapped were sent "so there would be a Holocaust."

The following is the transcript,
Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas) April 18 2008
Narrator:
"The disabled and handicapped are a heavy burden on the state,"
said the terrorist leader, Ben Gurion. [Zionist leader - Israel's first PM]
The Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot [the Holocaust] to be rid of the burden of the disabled and handicapped, in twisted criminal ways.
[Picture: Holocaust death camp, dead bodies]
While they accuse the Nazis or others so the Jews would seem persecuted, and try to benefit from international sympathy. They were the first to invent the methods of evil and oppression."
Amin Dabur, head of the Palestinian "Center for Strategic Research":
"About the Israeli Holocaust, the whole thing was a joke and part of the perfect show that Ben Gurion put on, who focused on strong and energetic youth [for Israel], while the rest- the disabled, the handicapped, and people with special needs, they were sent to [to die]- if it can be proven historically. They were sent [to die] so there would be a holocaust, so Israel could "play" it for world sympathy."
Narrator:"The alleged numbers of Jews [killed in the Holocaust] were merely for propaganda."
-- i thought the left were appalled by Holocaust deniers ,and that they shouldn't be legitmised , i suppose this changes for them if their an enemy of israel
I'm a member of the Conservative Party and have very strong beliefs on a variety of political subjects especially on the EU, foreign policy particularly relating to Israel and the wider Middle East, crime, the welfare state, justice and taxes just to name a few. I am now working this year as the parliamentary liaison for a fantastic political organisation called the Freedom Association.

No Need For Fathers , Abortion on Demand
As the title suggests , this is what the second part of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill will create in the UK or at least solidify it . I am not a christian or jewish fundamentalist , so i dont come from an extreme relgious agenda ,its just i believe in a society where life is respected and fathers play an equal role . This will create a strong society and in the words of Iain Duncan Smith a leading figure of the right in the Conservative party and also an important member of the Centre of Social Justice a move from Breakdown Britain into Breakthrough Britain . This Bill encourages Breakdown Britain , and therefore it is my duty, whilst i cant vote on the Bill , to oppose it anway i can.
Firstly there is the abortion part of the Bill . Now i know of hardly anyone in the UK , who wants to take the dogwhistle of the American Religious right and call for an outright ban on Abortion. Much as i find Abortion horrid , i realise that it is needed to be legal , so we dont get the situation which we had in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s ,where woman got abortions through back door clinics and had their lives put at risk . However neither do i want a situation which we have today , where the abortion limit in this country is too high at 24 weeks ,and has encouraged an Abortion on Demand Culture , where Abortion isn't the last resort , but the first readily available option .Additionally Science has shown a foetus in the womb , has many human symptoms at 18 weeks , and can be born from this period. Recent research, such as that by Professor Sunny Anand from the University of Arkansas, has shown that fetuses are well enough developed to feel pain down to 18 weeks gestation. Surely all those mothers therefore must be in incredible distress , if they have an abortion after 20 weeks, it is a traumatic and unecessary operation . Furthermore the limit has created an abortion on demand culture , figures highlight this as the number of abortions carried out between 20 and 24 weeks has been rising in recent years. Lowering the limit to 20 weeks for normal babies will save almost 2,300 young lives per year. Science has made it possible to save lifes after 18 weeks , this is therefore why the limit should be reduced to 20 weeks , and that is why i am Supporting the Conservative MPS Nadine Dorries Amendment. After all the average Abortion time limit in the rest of Europe is 12 weeks . It seems a case to me of science advancing and the law not advancing with it . The 24 week abortion limit was created in 1990 , since then Britain has some of the highest levels of Abortion in Europe ,and technology has moved so lives from 18 weeks can be saved -if the limit was lowered it has been estimated over 2500 babies now being aborted could be saved . Im sure most people would agree that it is the Government's job to help save lives , not the other way round
There should also in my view be made amendments to make Abortion less attractive . Alternative options such as adoption need to be given more credence . At the moment Adoption is to hard , for example it is crazy that a white family , can not adopt a black child and vice versa - stuff like this needs to be made easier so adoption can be chosen over abortion and a life saved.
Another part of the Abortion part of the bill i fundamentally disagree with is the abolition od the requirement that you need two doctors to advice the women having the Abortion before the decision is made, and secondly that a nurse instead of a doctor can perform the Abortion . Abortion is an incredibly hard decision ,and therefore independent advice is needed to be given ,and this is what the two doctors provide , there role shouldn't be removed. A nurse's job is not to perform difficult operations or procedures on patients , this is a doctor's ,giving the termination process over to a nurse to me reduces the importance we place on the actual carrying out of abortion.
Then there is the other Ludicrous part of the Bill , to make it legal for fathers not to be consulted with IVF treatment and to be involved in IVF treatment and for it to be made legally binding for lesbian couples to have IVF treatment in replacement for this, in other words a single mother or a lesbian couple could have an IVF with no father figure . Now im not opposed to IVF , i think it has been a great scientific breakthrough , which has meant many families have been able to have kids, which otherwise would have been impossible . However i do have a problem with fathers being cut of this important decision , this bill would remove the requirement for IVF clinics to consider the needs of the father. If this bill did the same thing in relation to the women ,there would rightly be an outrage, therefore there should also be with fathers being removed,they are equally important to a baby's life as the mother is. No Mother can replace the father , so therefore it is necessary for a father to have a say in IVF . There shouldn't be discrimation against fathers , the rights of the child to have a father should be paramount. Babies could be produced without any biological access to their father , they would have no right to the father , the role of the father wouldn't be recognised, and it would be hard for them to track down their fathers. Figures from the Centre of Social Justice have recently shown that whilst there are thousands of Single Mothers doing a great job , those who have a mother and father comitt less crimes,and are more likely to have a better quality of life . This is why the amendment made in the 1990 bill towards IVF talking about " the need for a father " shouldn't be removed. The Archbishop of York was right when he said The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, did not agree saying that the Government was seeking to put the 'right to be a parent over the welfare of a child'. He said the proposals would mean the 'removal by design of the father of the child'. Baroness Deech is right when she says removing the clause would 'ignore the contribution made by half of the human race towards the upbringing of the next generation'. 'I know that plenty of children are brought up well without two parents but in an ideal world you need a mother, which is implicit in the law, and a father". To me to sum up on my opposition to this part of the bill , it undermines the importance of the father ,and will lead to further social breakdown in Britain.
I have no problems with Lesbians , what they do in there private life is none of my business , they can get married for all i care. However it is my sincerely held belief ,that the best position for a child is to have a father and mother - it's called traditional parenting . This doesn't even have to be done through marriage. From my personal experience -my parents are divorced , i have benefited greatly from still being able to see my dad on a regular basis . I dont Lesbian couples , unless there is a father figure should be allowed to bring up children , a kid with two "mothers" will become confused , the two women cannot play both the mother and father , it is simply not natural and detrimental to the child . This is therefore why i believe the amendment to make IVF much more open and easier for Lesbian couples should be voted down. For me it would be far better to keep the father's involvement in IVF there. This is why i back david Cameron in his stance when he says "Lesbian couples should be blocked from having IVF treatment unless they agree that a father figure would be involved in the upbringing of their child".
To conclude , this bill is rotten , it will lead to more social breakdown , and abortion on demand , no one wants this , so support in anyway possible those brave MPS who are voting against the bill.

Supporting the Labour Party is like supporting Watford FC
Allow me to explain. For 12 years I have been a supporter of Watford FC a football club who seems to have more ups and downs in the past 12 years than a jack in the box. This year it was a new season , a fresh start for watford in the championship. And for the first three months or so , just like the start of Gordon Brown's premiership , everything went great , Watford were 9 points clear they were in command , just like the start of Gordon Brown's premiership Watford could survive easily whatever the opposition threw at them . Then it got to the big game for Watford against West Brom ,and the big decision for Gordon Brown , should he have a general election or not he panicked and decided not to a sign of weakness . At the same time the whole entire watford team panicked and got beaten 3-0 by west Brom . After this both teams - team Labour and Team Watford Lurched from disaster to disaster , Watford it seemed couldn't buy a win at home , The Labour party it seemed from the Iraq War to the losing of Millions of people's child benefit data to EU (ahem ) reform treaty or the abolition of the 10 p rate of tax, everything it seemed go wrong . Then for both it comes to a defining moment , Gordon Brown can show his strength and bat down the 10 p labour rebels of whom some are in their cabinet , Watford can get there promotion bid on track with a win against Crystal Palace at home. Unfortunately both blow it , Gordon Brown does a U -Turn promising a bumber deal where the poor will get lots of money , and Watford succumb to a two nil loss.
Both have leaders who looked so good - Watford with Aidy Boothroyd, and Gordon Brown with the Labour party. However at the moment both look like they couldn't motivate a guy on cloud 9 such as Joe Calzaghe at the moment . Both seem to be making baffling decision , Aidy Boothroyd with his decision to not use substitutes till 10 mins from the end , Gordon Brown with his decision not to sort out Northern Rock and then making a decision where the taxpayer faces all the risk . Both have made dodgy appointments or for watford transfers , Watford with the arrival of Collins John -who is continually injured and couldn't give a damn for the club -Nathan Ellington -over 3 million pounds what a waste of money , Mart Poom -what's the point of buying a goalie who sits in the reserves , Matt Jackson -i've seen a geriatic grandad run faster, and now to Gordon Brown's appointments Ed Balls, his right hand man - Every time he talks , people on the street think what a thorougly arrogant nasty man he is David Milliband - supposedly like Nathan Ellington the future of the team , both look about as confident in their jobs as i would dancing , and David Milliband also has the persona of a snivelling child , hardly a requirement of a Foreign Secretary , Tessa Jowell , Olympics Minister - how much is the Olympics going to cost now , have you lost count, or Mark Malloch Brown -a foreign minister , one of the goats , fiercely anti american , - great just what you need in a british diplomat not , Digby Jones -actually i like this guy , but he dont seem to like the Labour party , about as committed as Watford's Collins John.
In conclusion , the future for both at least for this season looks as bleak as George Bush chance of having a poll making him best statesmen of all time. Maybe that's telling people something , maybe the man at the top should be sacked.

The Millitant NUT leadership and it's selfish teacher strike
Before you criticise all teachers from the NUT(national Union of Teachers) , lets get one thing straight , the strike wasn't voted on in a democratic way . The strike was passed by a majority who were there to vote on the issue , but there was only one third of the people in the NUT vote. In other words a minority of a majority have voted for this strike -the rest are apathetic. This doesn't sound much like democracy at all . In fact it just seems a way the leadership led by trotskyist Christine Blower can force through its ludicrous strike. Lets not criticise all teachers either. After all the NUT represents only about 1/3 of teachers , the NASUWT and the ATL , the other Teacher's unions , know as the more moderate unions are not striking -as A -they think the public dont support it , and B -they dont see the point .
Then the reasons for the strike , teachers dont get enough pay. OK the pay is below inflation, but so is everyone's at the moment be it in the public or private sector due to the UK being in the economic downturn , at least unlike the police the government accepted the independent arbitration pay rise given to teachers of 2.5%. Where do you think the government is going to get the money from to pay for an above inflation pay rise ,people are already highly taxed so not much manouvre there , the national debt is way to high so they cant borrow to much , to spend for teachers to get an above inflation pay rise. Im sure any maths or economic's teacher could tell you this , the NUT leadership though it seems , thinks you can get pay rises in an economic downturn from thin air. Also what other job , guarantees you 14 weeks Holiday a year - not any job i can think of . As part of the public sector they get an extremely good pension deal - much better than their counterparts in the private sector. Another reason given for the strike is that teachers work incredibly hard. Ok yes it's true ,and it doesn't help the amount of bureaucratic measures from a centrally controlled National curriculum telling them what to teach .However at the end of the day , the government has increased regulations for nearly everyone bar bankers in the public and private sector in the last 10 years ,and all people who are working generally work hard - because if they didn't , they would get sacked -thus the argument that teachers work too hard is null and void. The teacher strike also handily doesn't mention that over the past fifteen years , they have been receiving above inflation pay.
Even if you agree teachers get a raw deal , i thought teacher's job was to help and teach children. This strike is at a time when students are coming up to GCSE'S , AS , and A-Levels , when they need all the teaching they can get , they can't afford a day off school right now. How can they still claim to be commited to childrens' education. It is not the children's fault for teacher's pay , or the amount they work , yet they are the one's who are getting punished and to me this seems incredibly unfair and detrimental to their education. It is expected 1/3 of schools across the country will be thrown into chaos by the teacher's strike , the chaos doesn't effect the government who they are trying to pressure , it effects students and children. This makes people across the country less likely to support the teacher's position. It's not often i agree with Ed Balls , the government's education secretary , but he got it correct when he said "I'm on the side of parents who will be disappointed if their children's education is disrupted on Thursday because we have decided to accept an independent pay review"
As the Daily Telegraph says "The only way that substantially more cash could be made available for teachers' salaries would be through the introduction of the sort of structural reforms that the NUT has consistently fought: cutting out expensive central and local government bureaucracy, and allowing schools to control funding and determine their own pay levels".
Here the times , have what the other teaching unions think of the NUT strike - not a lot really . John Dunford, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Lecturers, said: “I am disappointed that the NUT has voted in favour of strike action over a pay award that represents a good deal for teachers in the present climate.”
Chris Keates, the general secretary of the NASUWT, said: “The majority of members recognise that, compared with other public sector workers, they have fared relatively well.” Maybe just maybe if you've not got the support of the general public or even a majority of teachers , you should realise the strike is pointless.
The acting secretary of the NUT said the strike is a last resort .All the above suggests it isn't , after all the other 2 unions , with teachers in the same boat , dont think that it has got to a position where they need to strike. The NUT leadership are known as the nutters , there latest action is living up to this name.

Ken has no good policies , so he steal's boris good policies
Boris Johnson had an excellent idea called the mayoral fund to encourage a giving culture in london through charity and at the same time encourage entrepreneurship. Ken Livingstone then criticised it in hustings on tv and not on tv and in newspaper column's . However now in a feat no more amazing than Lazarus's return from the dead , Ken has suddenly decided - it's a great policy , and im going to steal it - and you know unlike Gordon when he steals policies off the tories , Ken is not going to hide and say ihe didn't do it , he will be honest and say yep stole it. Just one thing Ken - doesn't that mean you've just been lieing to londoners in recent debates about what you are going to do for London - after all you said u didn't want a mayoral fund and now you do.
here's the evening standard article on this issue. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-mayor/article-23479499-details/

Ken Lies about the cost of the Olympics
yet another reason why Londoners shouldn't trust Ken with their money , their's his coterie of advisors , The Londoner , the increase in the Congestion Charge to £25 , and the wasted money on his advertising campaigns and failing businesses through the London Development Agency. Ken Livingstone doesn't like to tell the voters this , because well he doesn't like being held accountable to London's Taxpayers. Now another story shows that Ken tried to cover up the true cost of the Olympics.
here is the article:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=558211&in_page_id=1770&in_a_source

Kofi Annan Embraces a tyrant
Am i the only feeling disgusted at the way Kofi Annan the former head of the UN shook Robert Mugabe's hand and embraced him . This is a guy who has killed thousands of his own people , turned the economic powerhouse of Africa into a basketcase , rigs elections routinely , beats up member's of the opposition and blames it all on colonialism , when really it's all his fault . Still all that doesn't seem to bother Kofi Annan , they embraced like mates. Then he acts weakly saying there's nothing wrong with the delay in the electoral process , as long as the results end up being free and fair. newsflash , Kofi Annan , the reason there not fair is because during the long electoral process , his self Appointed Zimbabwe Electoral is helping him rig the election so his party Zanu PF win and the MDC -Movement for Democratic Change lose.
Why is this man feted by Kofi Annan , can you imagine him warmly embracing Hitler , Pol Pot , Mussolini , the Apartheid Regime of South Africa, Saddam Hussein , Mahmoud Ahmadenejad , no i dont think so . The difference with all of these , is there not his black brothers , whilst Robert Mugabe is , in his view and i am sad to say many African Leaders across the region is simply standing up to British Colonialism. Im no racist but Black leaders can be just as evil as asian leaders and White Leaders and Arabic leaders. when European Leaders are evil i dont see other Europeans blaming it on colonialism and embracing them , they roundly condemn the tyrant in the end as they did with Milosevic and this weakens them. Mugabe on the other hand is seen as fighting for the black man ,when really in Zimbabwe he is terrorising black Zimbabweans.He is never roundly condemned by African Leaders ,and this gives him a sense of legitimacy , which strenghens him , weakening the opposition to the tyrant. All this appeasement of Mugabe is embodied in Kofi Annan's embrace.
When Jack Straw shook Robert Mugabe hand many people were rightly apalled, Kofi Annan does something worse he embraces Robert Mugabe yet we dont speak out. To me that smacks of hypocrisy.
Why is this man feted by Kofi Annan , can you imagine him warmly embracing Hitler , Pol Pot , Mussolini , the Apartheid Regime of South Africa, Saddam Hussein , Mahmoud Ahmadenejad , no i dont think so . The difference with all of these , is there not his black brothers , whilst Robert Mugabe is , in his view and i am sad to say many African Leaders across the region is simply standing up to British Colonialism. Im no racist but Black leaders can be just as evil as asian leaders and White Leaders and Arabic leaders. when European Leaders are evil i dont see other Europeans blaming it on colonialism and embracing them , they roundly condemn the tyrant in the end as they did with Milosevic and this weakens them. Mugabe on the other hand is seen as fighting for the black man ,when really in Zimbabwe he is terrorising black Zimbabweans.He is never roundly condemned by African Leaders ,and this gives him a sense of legitimacy , which strenghens him , weakening the opposition to the tyrant. All this appeasement of Mugabe is embodied in Kofi Annan's embrace.

Dont mention Boris
It's official the Labour party have lost their marbles . There so worried about the threat Boris Johnson's mayoral Campaign poses to Ken Livingstone , they are banning any Cabinet Ministers of their party from referring to the Conservative Candidate as Boris. Apparently saying the name , Gives the impression of Boris as a friendly guy and Labour dont want this. They prefer the more formal name Boris Johnson - apparently this gives the voters the right impression. If a labour party person does say it they face a £5 fine- it's like a swear box -the only difference being a swear box has a purpose. Far be it from me but what difference does it make if you call the conservative Candiate Boris , Boris Johnson , Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, noone cares apart from the Labour Party. Still this was thought up by Tessa Jowell not exactly known for her brains
Policies and actions speak louder than a name.for example Ken Livingstone is a very nice name , at the same time what Ken Livingstone has done to London is extremely nasty - just to name a few inviting an Islamist in Yusuf Al quawardari , wasting a fortune on the London Development Agency ,and installing bendy buses which purpose seems to be to look stupid and a death trap for commuters.
I dont hear the conservative party telling Boris he mustn't say Ken because that would sound too chummy. The labour party is running scared ,because they know people are fed up with Ken Livingstone and like Boris Johnson.
just in case you think im talking rubbish and this is a late April Fools -here's the proof - Labour really are that desperate

FACTUAL INFO: Boris Johnson didn't chicken out of the Time Out Debate
There is a story going around on a labour home blog , that Boris ran away scared from a mayoral debate on April 2rd , because he is scared of talking to London's voters ,as he doesn't have a message to put across to londoners . Before you hear this story in the media , take it with a pinch of salt , it's simply not true.
It is not helped by Time Out's representation of what happened . They say "We were excited and proud to be able to offer you direct access to all four main candidates on one platform, which would give you an opportunity to quiz them in person on their plans for our city. Disappointingly, Boris Johnson, who had initially confirmed his place at this hustings, has withdrawn from the event and so will NOT be attending. The last line is malicious in it's intent to tar Boris Johnson i thought Time Out as someone who shirks responsibility. I thought Time Out were meant to be a neutral organisation , the last sentence suggests otherwise.
What really happened is partly Time Out's fault , the organisers of the debate. Originally the debate was going to be held on April 3rd , Boris would have been able to attend this ,and indeed intended to be there . At the last minute , Time Out decided to change the day to April 2nd , not giving Boris enough prior notice to be able to make arrangements so he could attend. This is clearly bad managment on the part of the organisers . The organisers try to hide behind the lie that Boris Pulled out , but he didn't. Time Out should apologise for the lie they started , simply to cover there own mismanagement.
Boris was never free on April 2nd as the Labour Home blog says. He was booked that day for a long standing engagement to talk to local newspapers editors.It would be wrong if Boris shirked this responsibility to his long term comittment. Boris isnt superman he cant appear in two places at once.
Labour's message here is intentionally misleading and an example of negative campaigning at it's worst . Labour should stick to outlining there policies for London ,which we have heard surprisingly little of , rather than criticising there opponent Boris Johnson based on a lie.The Left’s united strategy for the London mayoral election seems to only entail trying to discredit Boris in an increasingly shoddy attempt to stop him winning. Is it because they are the one's really running scared ,because people are fed up of there policies which have led to increased crime and increased the cost of living for the average Londoner. Im not just criticising Ken Livingstone here , im criticising Sian Berry the Green Candidate and Brian Paddick the Lib Dem Candidate , all they offer is failed policies and negative campaigning .

Ken blames everyone apart from himself for rising violent crime , Boris presents solutions to it
Sadly yesterday, the 11th teenager in London was murdered this year.Ken Livingstone response was to blame the newspapers and tv news. This was shown when last night on BBC London, Ken Livingstone was being interviewed, and when questioned about crime in the capital and his insistence that it is declining, he blamed the media by saying “If it bleeds, it leads...”. According to Ken everything is going swimmingly and its all the media fautlt. Apparently it's nothing to do with him even though yesterday the 11th teenager was murdered in London on his watch as London Mayor. This comment is also incredibly insensitive to all those parents who have lost teenagers this year because of violent crime. The message they are getting from Ken is that he doesn't care.
This response is the same thing we have heard from Ken for 10 years. First he'll say well there is no rise in violent crime when all recent evidence points against this. 27 teenagers were killed by guns or knifes on London's streets last year already in 3 months this year 11 have been murdered. It looks to me violent crime is rising not decreasing. Plainly facts dont matter to Ken.
On top of this evidence points to an increase in criminal offences on public transport in particular buses. You would have thought Ken would want to tackle this to give the people of London a better life , but no he'll pay for a million pound self promotion crime and billions on failing companies to the development agencies and millions to his coteries of advisors from Socialist Action, basically he'll give money to anything which will help him and his cronies and nothing to the issue worrying Londoners -crime. This epitomises how out of touch Ken is with the average Londoner does he honestly think that they prefer money to be spent on flashy promotional adds costing millions to tell us all to be nicer to each other on buses rather than doing something which will actually for example stop crime on buses , namely police .
Then he'll say the rise in crime is not his fault, its the fault of the previous conservative government apparently. This is a disgusting attitude to the serious issue that is crime . Ken Livingstone has been in power for 11 years and hasnt done nearly enough in particular to combat violent crime and offers no policies on how to tackle crime , Boris Johnson Conservative Mayoral candidate for London does.
Here is what Boris Johnson will do about the rise in violent crime in particular. He will get rid of the form filling culture endemic in London's police. For example to record a crime they have to fill thousands of forms and God forbid if there actually allowed to stop and search someone they have to fill in a ludicrously long form Ken could have stopped this but he didn't because it serves to his far left politics whose bible is political correctness. He seems more interested in policeman minding there ps and qs and doing there bit for racial equality than doing there bit for crime and actually being allowed to catch criminals. Boris will get rid of this culture of form filling, which has reduced the numbers of people wanting to join the police, has led to officers spending more time in offices than on the streets and even more worryingly stopped policeman from what they do best catching criminals. With this increased police presence , Londoners will feel safe, more crimes will be prevented and if crimes take place police will be able to catch the criminal. This will all be possible with Boris in Charge it wont be with Ken in Charge.
Ken says he will beef up the powers of community support officers so they actually have the power to protect vulnerable neighbourhoods. After 10 years in power , Ken has done nothing on this front , Boris says he will and i for one believe his word over Ken. 10 years of failed promises by ken, Boris aims to repair all this.
At the moment London's buses are a microcosm of the violence engulfing parts of London especially in outer London. How will Boris tackle this, well for a start he will get rid of the flashy ad campaign Ken Livingstone is proposing , telling us all to be nice to each other. This is quite hypocritical given his treatment of the London Assembly which he hardly acknowledges. The campaign will do absolutely nothing to stop rising crime levels. What Boris will do is increase the amount of police on buses , trains, bus stops and train station platforms. This is an active deterrent to crime not some wishy washy campaign costing millions and delivering nothing. Boris if he becomes London Mayor intends to put CCTV cameras on buses as a deterrent to crime we have it on train stations so why not also have it on buses ,where the threat of crime is equally high.
A major problem facing london is gang crime, which has fuelled the rise in Violent crime. In 10 years Ken Livingstone has done nothing to tackle this increasingly prevalent problem apart from telling the public that the right wing media and the conservatives are "scaremongering". Not really Ken your lieing to Londoners in presenting a rosy picture which is non existant. At the moment community groups are not receiving the funding needed to take teenagers out of the crime trap. These community groups are sucesfull in getting teenagers out of gun crime because they are there on the ground they know a lot about the community and the problems it faces. Many of those who have set up the community groups have been former gang members themselves , they know what drives people into gangs and how to get people out of gangs. They therefore need to get the right levels of funding, so they can be involved with the police in getting people out of gangs and rebuilding their lives. Boris would ensure community groups got the funding they needed.
A problem with the rise in violent crime is that the crime information which should be used to tackle it is inacessible. Boris Johnson intends to put online a crime map of London, where anyone from London can go online to see the crime levels in their area and what is being done about it. It will show which areas have the highest levels of crime ,what sort of crime and what is being done and what can be done to tackle it. This idea is not knew it was introduced in New York by the then New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani all evidence has shown it has been extremely sucesfull and led to reduction of crime in New York and also the police were more accountable to the public. This idea by Boris is the big idea of the London Mayoral Campaign , no other London Mayoral candidate offers this highly sucesfull plan ,and this is another reason to vote for Boris Johnson.
To conclude all ken does on crime is blame everyone apart from himself and do nothing apart from spending milllions on pointless advertising campaigns. This inertia on the part of the London Mayor , has left London's police and youth groups unable to tackle crime which has led to a rise in violent crime. Boris will change all of this, he will inform people of what is happening with crime in the area and how it should be tackled .He will hand power from bureaucrats to those who are best at tackling crime , the people on the ground , Community groups and police . Boris has plans to make London safer , Ken in 10 years has been like a driver falling asleep at the wheel , no direction and no policies to tackle rising crime

A novel way to help London's environment and stop Ken's propaganda machine
Every week the unsuspecting London Public are bombarded with vile propaganda from Livingstone's newspaper - the Londoner . Not surprisingly the london people are fed up of this , they can make up their own decision thanks without a load of propaganda being shoved in their faces to try and influence them , they like me thought London's newspaper's were meant to be mouthpieces of propaganda . They also dont like the £2.8 million a year they have to pay for this privilege. it's also incredibly gauling that this newspaper has the name of one of the World's greatest capital's as its name. Never has a paper been so undeserving of the title it has.
Boris Johnson's campaign seeks to end all of this , if elected he will abolish this paper ,and put all the wasted paper to good use. He'll not be only saving trees - as the paper uses oceans of paper's he'll be planting new Trees. London needs more trees not only do they look nice , they are a good way of tackling air pollution and dealing with the threat of CO2 which is a major cause of global warming . Boris with the money saved from abolishing this newspapers aim to plant 100s of new trees across the capital , so everyone in London gets the benefits.
To sum up vote boris ,and save London from propaganda , help the long suffering taxpayer by saving money and improve the environment .

the papers go trash crazy
it's a week where the global financial system has been teetering on the brink , due to the credit crunch . Where tibetans have been brutally opressed by their Chinese Occupiers .Where John Mccain the Republican nominee has been visiting London and where the fallout from the budget in higher taxes are still being felt . It is a week when the democrat race between Obama and Clinton has been hotting up as we find out Jeremiah Wright , Barack Obama's spiritual advisor is a black supremacist . In other words a lot of important news has been happening .
Still if you were reading the papers apparently the most important things in the world today is DIANA , Heather Mills ,and David Cameron ignoring the highway code for cyclers - apparently this is what is important when discussing a potential conservative prime minister for the Daily Mirror and the BBC .
stop the trash and report real news which effects real people , we're not all interested in celeb culture , we want news which effects us , IE the credit crunch . For those saddos who spend their every waking day looking over celeb lives , go on the internet , we dont want your idea of importance splashed across the papers . with the news how it is , is it any wonder people find it hard to separate fantasy from reality.

The Greatest Response to terrorists is our liberty
In an increasingly dangerous world , we are constantly told by the British Government that we need ID cards and 42 days without trial, bans on religious hatred , and more political correctness because there is a difference between free speech and violent speech etc etc .This is all apparently in the name of " national security " . Being the Sceptic that i am , i fear it is just a way for an overbloated government to control it's population.
Now i for one dont want to diminish the threat of international terrorism . We in the West whether we like it or not our engaged in a war in terror to protect Western Civilisation .We have been for the last 29 years , since the revolution in Iran that created a theocratic islamic state which has been used ever since as a rallying point for Islamist terrorism ever since. These terrorists want the most brutal of sharia law to be bought across the world by the international islamic caliphate , where woman are stoned and have to wear the hijab,where stealer's hands are chopped off ,where people are beaten and mass hangings take place ,where homosexuals are executed , where the newspapers are tightly controlled to print anti western Bile ,and where political opposition suddenly disappears , a euphemism for purging political opponents . We are fighting a worldwide Islamist phenonemon ,which hates the West's freedom and wants a world made in their image where freedom wont exist due to Iranian Mullah Style religion enforcers , telling you what you can and cannot do.
New Labour's response to this threat is all wrong i believe . The UK has the most CCTV cameras in Europe and thus is the most surveyed country in Europe . The Government wants to introduce ID cards for everyone so we are all suspects, which is a fundamental loss of civil liberty. They want to introduce 42 day detention without trial ,where the British legal system belief of innocent until proven guilty can be overlooked . Finally they want religious hate legislation put through ,which will make people like you and me , mind their P's and Q's essentially hiding the truth when talking about Islamist Terrorism .
The British government in all of this is creating a fear addled society , and this im afraid is what the terrorists want . The terrorists want us to be afraid of them ,because then we'll be more likely to give into them . The Terrorists want us thanks to their " threat" to be living in a police state. Finally they want British people through religious hate law in the name of political correctness disguising Islamist's real intentions , so they can take over Britain through stealth . This is already shown when the new home secretary Jacqui Smith announced in 2007 , that the Government will no longer being using the words Islamists or Islamic extremists , to describe terrorists such as the one's who flew 2 planes into the World Trade Centre on September 11th 2001 , or caused havoc in London on July 7 2005. The New name for them is Anti Islam Activists and if they carry out an attack, it will be said that they "are pursueing anti Islamic Activity" . Is it just me , or does this sound similar to the Newspeak Governments used in George Orwell's Novel 1984.
There is another way. We could as i believe we should do stick two fingers up at the terrorists .We could live our lives as normal ,without the prying of the state , if we reduced the number of CCTV cameras . This would reduce fear ,and fear is one of the Terrorist's most potent weapon . We could preserve the British Judiciary system believe in innocent until proven guilty , so that liberty is still seen as an important value . It would also be right , that anyone can say what ever they want about these Jihad crazed terrorists , in the knowledge that a government wouldn't flag them up on some trumped up religious hate law . In short where all the values terrorists want to undermine , liberty of the individual , a fearless society and freedom of speech are kept . That's a country i want to live in , not a Police State playing into terrorist's hands.

learn to stuff up the british economy labour style
i got a new slogan
labour ," never knowingly sound economically "
quiz question what was it that ruined the british economy in the 1970s
- answer , a labour government spending to much and taxing loads, leading to high levels of debt, leading to the absurd situation in the late 1970s during a recession when you need to stimulate the economy - through tax cuts , labour was raising taxes
now whats happening today to the UK economy
oh yes it's the same , which leads to my other slogan " new labour , following the failed old labour policies of the past " - i and many other british people can see past a rebranding exercise , this is the same old labour policies , which always destroy the british economy and make people worse off.

now whats happening today to the UK economy
oh yes it's the same , which leads to my other slogan " new labour , following the failed old labour policies of the past " - i and many other british people can see past a rebranding exercise , this is the same old labour policies , which always destroy the british economy and make people worse off.

12 days to debate a treaty(constitution ) which A we're not likely to get a referendum on and B -which is of constitutional importance
Now i would have thought 12 days to debate an exceptionally long and complex eu treaty (constitution) or thats roughly 45 seconds per line is to short but apparently it's not . Now as it happens im mostly in favour of the constitution in the fact that it simplifies the EU and gives the Eu parliament more power and the EU comission less , there are some parts i have doubts like the EU high representative which i fear could compromise the British Foreign Secretary . All i think it is a good constitution for Britain but firstly I feel we should have had a referendum on it like we were promised by all the three main parties . After all this is 90% the same as the previous constitution according to the Common's Foreign Affairs Select commitee , Completely the same in vision according to Nicholas Sarkozy the President of France and Angela Merkl the Chancellor of Germany , even the original author of the Constitution Giscard D'Estaing says it is virtually the same . So the public are pretty annoyed that there not getting a referendum on what is basically the constitution in all but name ,but then some of us thought welll at least there's a long 28 day time to debate the revived EU constitution in the House of Commons and that maybe they would table an amendment to put a referendum in . However the government has stopped any chance of this happening by cutting the debate down to 12 days . This is disgusting a matter of this constitutional only gets 12 days , the Government is just scared it will be defeated , and is acting in stalinist like ruthlessness to crush opposition through neutering parliament . Those who support a referendum on what is basically the revived CONSTITUTION should speak out against this Executive Conspiracy first perpretated on backbench MPS and secondly the British electorate. If you want a strong parliament who has enough time to properly scrutinise this you will want an extension in the time to debate the issue . If you believe in democracy , you will want a vote on the constitution in the referendum and this wont happen nows because the government has guillotined the time to debate and thus their will not be enough time to introduce an amendment for a vote on whether there should be a referendum .

how to use the tax system -Gordon Brown Style .
WHAT GORDON WANTS FROM THE TAX SYSTEM
well well well i dont really like rich people -but we need some of them - ie the mega rich so we wont bother taxing the rich non doms but those who have become rich through their own work well there fair game .
On benefits for no reason other than it's more profitable to be on then get a job -well we'll give you tax breaks , or you might not have to bother to pay taxes -because after all we only want people who bother working to pay for the government and of course your benefits.
Your poor and actually working -well we'll get rid of the 10,000 tax barrier so now you have to pay really high taxes - i know that doesn't sound fair , but someone needs to pay for all the government's wasted money and that of course is the british taxpayer.
Your middle class well you've got nothing going to you , i really hate you - your not poor or on a public service so your probably not going to vote labour , your not rich so you aint going to fund labour , you probably vote conservative because they dont hate the middle class well YET anyway. I also hate you because you complain all the time about the National Health Service and because of the poor quality of state schools - i mean what gives you the right to criticise government run services you horrible aspiring oik who wants to earn a living and not give it all to the government- you know what so the tax system will work like this everyone will have to pay quite high taxes apart from those who cant be bothered to work , but the middle clas will pay the highest taxes. Supposed Shortage of money for the NHS - i'll get a stealth tax in their which the middle class will have to disproportionately pay for . A black hole in government funding - well let's get another stealth tax which the middle class will pay for . Then their's inheritance taxes well i did increase the threshold to 600,000 no more mind , with house prices that should soon catch out the middle class.
Then their's small businesses well i really dislike them ,there are always going on about wanting to be treated like individuals ,and breaking free from government regulations , they dont want top down government and they want the government out of their lives they wanted to be treated like individuals and not just as people in a state . Pah that's all rubbish your all people who must follow my GOVERNMENT and just for your disobedience im going to get rid of taper relief for capital gains tax , which helped small businesses . Of course i'll get the sympathy of the media by portraying it as an attack on big business , but me and my puppet Chancellor Alistair Darling know the abolishment of taper relief will effect small businesses harder .
Their's a link about all this tax high taxes . Now i couldn't justify high taxes , if our institutions in the UK weren't crap so to improve them i increase taxes to make them better . the only problem is they dont get better , so i have to put in a stealth tax to pay to see if i can improve it again , again it's still bad in fact worse all your taxpayer's money as paid for is more bureaucracy in say the police , NHS or state education , take your pick , taxpayer's money hasn ' t made it any better. But you know me i love taxing people so i have to justify these higher taxes so i say im really sorry guys , the service has improved a bit but not enough for my liking what we need is radical reform , and we'll have an independent government review to keep our options open on how to reform it- if i dont like the proposals i will ignore them , if i do like it i'll introduce it -and who pays for the review , well it's the taxpayer because of course they fund government .
now this is me stephen hoffman speaking - maybe just maybe the british people our fed up of 50% of their earnings being given away to the government in taxes which makes things in this country no better . Maybe just maybe we want lower taxes which will lead to reform and will lead to institutions needing to reform ,as they wont be able to rely on government taxes . The problem is New Labour a party who supports big government is never going to stand for this as to have big overarching government which stick's it nose in in every citizens life so as to stop being an individuals , you need high taxes to pay for it, otherwise the government if being forced to reduce taxes , would have to lay off thousands of civil servants and advisers jobs ,and when was the last time a turkey voted for christmas or to put it into the tax context can you ever see the government voting to get rid of the need for most of it.
well well well i dont really like rich people -but we need some of them - ie the mega rich so we wont bother taxing the rich non doms but those who have become rich through their own work well there fair game .

the EU's shameless lack of a moral compass
on friday -saturday december 7-8th the EU officially lost it's moral compass. This was when the EU -Africa international development and human rights were talked about . To me there was nothing wrong with that , most people right and left of the political spectrum want Africa to develop and improve it's human rights records . However the problem is you dont do that by inviting Robert Mugabe who has persecuted opposition to his rule , torn his country to shreds , and turned Zimbabwe which was one the economic powerhouse in Africa into a basketcase . Then there is another leader called Omar al Bashir the leader ofSudan invited. Omar al Bashir has raped and pillaged black muslim africans in darfur through backing the janjaweed millitia in it's genocidal actions , whilst the world turned a blind eye . At the same time , he has turned Sudan into a hotbed of islamic extremism ,where Osama Bin Laden was based in the 1990s ,and where the government is in cahoots with islamic extremist parties. All in all you would of thought not a a great idea to invite them to the EU -Africa summit , but unfortunately this is what happened.
Lets first take a look at Mugabe. The EU in inviting Robert Mugabe is ignoring it's own travel ban on Robert Mugabe put in place . when you are having a international development and human rights conference , you pick role models , and im afraid Mugabe is completely the opposite. The shameful cowardice in inviting Mugabe , is no way to stand up to African leaders when they are in the wrong , when they demand he be invited , they should have point blank refused this request , and pointed out to his awful human rights record ,and the rampant inflation which means many zimbabweans are left without a daily meal . By giving in to the African leaders request , it shows to the African leaders they to can get away with corruption and destruction of there country's economy , it also shows that there is nothing to gain from standing up to mugabe. very sad that, partly through the blind support of other African leaders, this same process was not allowed to take place. Now Zimbabwe is burdened with a leader ruining his country and guess what: this does make him less of a hero , however by putting Mugabe on the world stage once again , he can show himself as an African hero , and the chances of Mugabe's regime falling become longer not short term odds. The EU in it's decision to invite him is propping up a deeply unpopular leader in Zimbabwe who is surviving over western guilt from colonial times , and African solidarity with a guy they see as a fighter against colonialism , whilst ignoring his henious crimes ,as the international community be it the EU or UN do not seem to be taking serious action against him . What sort of message does this send to Thabo Mbeki the president of South Africa , that South Africa support of Zimbabwe has no effect at all , because Mugabe is still being treated like a international statesman. Europe needs to get over it's post colonial guilt , they were united in there opposition to the horrific apartheid regime in South Africa , so why when Mugabe crimes are on par with this do the EU give him the cloak of legitimacy .It is all to do with post colonial guilt ,it's wrong for African white leader to go power hungry it seems , but not if a black African leader goes power hungry . I am not making a racist point , what i am saying is that the EU shouldn't treat a demonic white leader and a demonic black leader differently. The EU is also not carrying out it's promises , there was a travel ban on Mugabe put on him by the EU due to his crimes against humanity , yet this has blatently been ignored at this summit . The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu was right when he said on the today programme said the international community, especially South Africa, had to act to help Zimbabwe because people were starving. Speaking as he used a pair of scissors to cut up his collar, he said: "As an Anglican this is what I wear to identify myself, that I'm a clergyman.
African leaders "Do you know what Mugabe has done? He's taken people's identity and literally, if you don't mind, cut it to pieces. This is what he's actually done to a lot of - and in the end there's nothing. "So, as far as I'm concerned, from now on I'm not going to wear a dog collar until Mugabe is gone." The archbishop said power had gone to the Zimbabwean president's head and the leader did not seem to "realise the suffering of people". The EU is not helping Zimbabwe's people when eu leaders say the EU African summit shouldn't be overshadowed by Mugabe's involvement in it . It does have a big effect after all a main part of the summit is on human rights and development , development which Mugabe has stunted ,and human rights which Mugabe has ignored , he should not have been given an invitation to such a prestigious event. It shows the world is not acting in united disgust against Robert Mugabe who seeing the international community's weakeness will keep perpretuating his crimes against humanity.For once I agree with Gordon Brown who has shown strength in a time of EU wide weakness for staying away from the summit, and condemn the EU for inviting Mugabe in the first place.If the other African countries wish to boycott the meeting, then it is up to them. We have pussyfooted around these African despots for too long, and its about time we in the west make a stand. Threaten to take away the billions of dollars sent to prop up appalling regimes and African leaders would soon do something about Mugabe.
Then there is the question , what is the point of having Mugabe there. You would have thought on a summit on good governance human rights would be high up the agenda . However apart from Angela Merkl's spirited attack on Mugabe human rights record, astonishingly Robert Mugabe's abuses on both Zimbabwe's economy and people are off the Agenda . So an all expenses paid trip for Mugabe to talk about giving Zimbabwe's money in trade deals, which will keep him in his luxourious lifestlye whilst the rest of Zimabwe suffers.
Now lets take a look at Omar al Bashir. It seems it wasn't enough to invite one tyrannical leader , the EU went for two . Omar al Bashir through his support of money and arms to the Janjaweed millita , has been complicit in the genocide of the black African Muslim population in Darfur. Due to Omar Al Bashir's government support of the Janjaweed millitia over 400,000 black africans have died and more than 2 million people have been displaced . What sort of message are the EU sending if there inviting someone to a confererence on good governance who has massacred his own people . there is so much tribal and ethnic cleansing going on towards the black African population in Sudan ,Yes we all want Africa to progress but laying a red carpet out for despots is NOT the way to do it. The Sudanese government has suppressed information by jailing and killing witnesses since 2004 and tampered with evidence such as mass graves to eliminate their forensic values. In addition, by obstructing and arresting journalists, the Sudanese government has been able to obscure much of what has gone on. Again by giving Omar al Bashir the cloak of legitimacy through inviting him to the EU summit will mean he can keep on claiming that no massacre has occured in Darfur. How can the EU consider warming relations with Khartoum when demonstrators are marching on capitals worldwide to protest what’s happening there?. The summit after all is all about warming relations between European and African leaders but this is one leader the EU would be foolish to cosy up to Bashir's regime has been buoyed by infusions of cash from the petroleum industry which has refused to bow to international pressure and continues to pump oil along a 2,200 kilometre pipeline to Port Sudan on the Red Sea. the summit is designed to improve trade links with African countries, but in Sudan exactly the opposite needs to be happening as all the money from the trade is being ploughed into killing Bashir's opposition in Sudan.
the EU is rewarding and giving legitimacy to two abhorrent leaders , they should be ashamed of themselves, but with an organisation lacking a conscience they just simply dont care , if they really cared about Africa they would stand up to these tyrants but i guess for the EU thats to much like hard work.

my name is gordon and im taxaholic
Gordon brown is the latest person to enter the taxaholics room for the last 10 years when he was the chancellor of the exchequer , he admits to having a little obsession with taxes . He admits there might have been the odd stealth tax , the odd bit of tax on fuel , alcohol and cigarettes , but ya know he says im here to become a changed man . Now that im prime minister and all , it might be a bit hard well taxing everyhing which moves . So really im here to change myself and become a better person .
OK GORDY --the head of the taxaholics person says lets here your tax and woe story .
Gordon then precedes to go ahead . He says to the rest of the attendees at the taxaholic anoymous club , im really sorry this may take a long time , there was so many tax increases in so many different areas , that well i dont really know where to start
Another tax anoynmous attendee shouts out HOW about the beginning , and then you can all tell us the heartwarming tale , of how you took more and more of our money as taxes .
Then the head of taxaholics person says --now now everyone deserves a fair chance lets hear gordy speak how long do you reckon you'll be gordy
GORDON BROWN : oh you know just the small matter of 1-2 days , not really that long for me i mean im used to waiting, after all i wanted to be prime minister for ten years . it's about time someone else had to wait apart from me
HEAD OF TAXAHOLICS : sorry gordy but this meeting only lasts for 2 hours -- how about the edited highlights
GORDON BROWN( in droning voice ) -- well it all started in may 1997 when New Labour won the election and i became chancellor of the exchequer. well you see in my ten years in power there was a slight raising of the tax burden . it kinda increases from a manageable 39.3% of total GDP to around well 42.2% .
HEAD OF TAXAHOLICS : Forgive me gordon because well im not really versed in economics , especially in taxes who pays for taxes ?
Gordon(stumbling political talk) well err , errm i dont know quite how to break it to you , but it's quite hard to explain and you know it's really not that important who pays for taxes + those tax increases --
ANGRY TAXAHOLICS ANOYMOUS PERSON: I forgot politicians never give a straight answer to a straight question ladies and gentleman we pay for Gordy and his tax rises ..
HEAD OF TAXAHOLICS : so gordon how have these tax increase as your time as the chancellor of exchequer how did you spend them -- you know the first sign of coming to terms with your illness is admitting to the damage your actions caused to others
GORDON(Solemn): well i gave a lot of money to the NHS , in fact for the first 4 years between 1997 +2001 there was a 7% increase in spending , the problem was the money wasn't spent a lot on frontline services , but we did get a shiny tier of new management and a lot more targets you know quite important stuff really .
OTHER TAXAHOLICS PERSON : I still dont undertand though how did all that help us
GORDON(CONFUSED) Well im not sure really , you see i just thought you had to throw money at a problem and hey presto it'd be solved i didn't know you had to specify where that money would go --sorry guys i guess that was a bit of a bulls up on my part .
TAXAHOLICS PERSON: Ok Gordon go ahead
Gordon Brown: Im really sorry guys im going to have to go , i forgot i never say sorry
Chorus from the back of the Meeting : RESIGN GORDON!

ken Livingstone
Recently ken appeared on a my space video for democracy .However the conclusions i got from it , is that Ken is nowhere near a democrat and in fact , if he could would support a left wing dictatorship in Britain just as long as it is an american dictatorship.
Already Ken has showed his anti semitic qualities , comparing a jewish reporter to a concentration camp guards and telling the jewish reubens businessman to go back to iran -- but that's all excused because Ken is the darling of the left media . It's what makes him charismatic , im sorry but would this be accepted if a tory had said it no ,would it have been accepted if the remarks had been aimed at blacks, christians or muslims --so why prey does the media just think we jewish people are blowing it all out of proportion . That's not to mention ken's tax tax tax policy . Ken's Philosophy can be summed up as the falling if it moves tax it,if it walks tax it, and if it is from a tory borough double tax it . Ken picks fights with the boroughs because they aren't meaning his stupid tax and spending policies. That's not even starting on the poor people of brent and wembley who in the 80s had to put up with his crazy left wing ideas ,which involved them all giving nearly half of there hard earned money , all in the name of improving the council , yet still brent was poor so good job ken took taxes for no reason there. then there is your mate hugo chavez who london now gets there oil from best friend with the iranian president you know that very nice man Who had a holocaust denial conference ,called the Holocaust a myth oh and just one more thing called for the destruction of the state of israel. Clearly ken character judgement is not your forte ,or you choose to ignore there crimes because there left wing .
Now to go back to the democracy video on my space , i have never heard so much garbage in my life , the amount of hot air you've contributed to global warming in that one video has increased co2 emissions by 20% not to mention all the garbage you've added for our once every 2 week binman ken -- i can see your in your usual excellent (sorry i forgot crap) form.
So here is the conclusions i got from your video. according to you .. women aren't violent and are more consensual im sorry -- mau zse dongs wife was behind the killing of millions of children ... it is bollocks you have evil woman and evil men, strong woman and strong men. then you have a go at the western world for putting in middle eastern dictatorships and according to you there is no signs of western value . Ken Livingstone i think your very much mistaken there is the western values in the arab world it is called israel, you know the country you said creating it was one of the greatest mistakes of the 20th century. then there was your defence of lenin -right then the sick bucket was ready. im sorry but that was just for starters your praise of mao zse dong who killed more people than stalin and hitler put together was downright disgusting -- are you blind . Now you think that is justified that amount of killing by my mao tse dong. you falsely assert china as democratic -china doesn't have democracy , it is a one party state (a dictatorship-- you say that is a bad thing(dictatorship tha is ) --then why support china when it systemically raped and pillaged tibet , and due to communism has killed millions of people. Lenin was an enemy of democracy there was an elections the social revolutionaries won he didn't like it and so he cancelled the parliament and ruled a one party state-- in war communism he killed millions of people --he created the cheka ,the gulags, the camps where dissidents would be sent to he paved the way for stalin . then there is fidel castro again there is no democracy in cuba , castro -- crushes brutally any opposition to his rule through torture and killing --yet this seems ok as long as it is not the United states. ,doesn't allow freedom of religion , has a one party state ,and has been ruling as a dictator for nearly 40 years . It seems to me Ken as long as it is a left wing dictatorship it's fine for you , and the video you have on supporting democracy is rubbish .
Finally id just to like pay homage to our new london mayor in six months boris johnson who has all qualities you dont , charm , listening to people ,and not hating jews and inviting muslim extremists .
Already Ken has showed his anti semitic qualities , comparing a jewish reporter to a concentration camp guards and telling the jewish reubens businessman to go back to iran -- but that's all excused because Ken is the darling of the left media . It's what makes him charismatic , im sorry but would this be accepted if a tory had said it no ,would it have been accepted if the remarks had been aimed at blacks, christians or muslims --so why prey does the media just think we jewish people are blowing it all out of proportion . That's not to mention ken's tax tax tax policy . Ken's Philosophy can be summed up as the falling if it moves tax it,if it walks tax it, and if it is from a tory borough double tax it . Ken picks fights with the boroughs because they aren't meaning his stupid tax and spending policies. That's not even starting on the poor people of brent and wembley who in the 80s had to put up with his crazy left wing ideas ,which involved them all giving nearly half of there hard earned money , all in the name of improving the council , yet still brent was poor so good job ken took taxes for no reason there. then there is your mate hugo chavez who london now gets there oil from best friend with the iranian president you know that very nice man Who had a holocaust denial conference ,called the Holocaust a myth oh and just one more thing called for the destruction of the state of israel. Clearly ken character judgement is not your forte ,or you choose to ignore there crimes because there left wing .
Now to go back to the democracy video on my space , i have never heard so much garbage in my life , the amount of hot air you've contributed to global warming in that one video has increased co2 emissions by 20% not to mention all the garbage you've added for our once every 2 week binman ken -- i can see your in your usual excellent (sorry i forgot crap) form.
So here is the conclusions i got from your video. according to you .. women aren't violent and are more consensual im sorry -- mau zse dongs wife was behind the killing of millions of children ... it is bollocks you have evil woman and evil men, strong woman and strong men. then you have a go at the western world for putting in middle eastern dictatorships and according to you there is no signs of western value . Ken Livingstone i think your very much mistaken there is the western values in the arab world it is called israel, you know the country you said creating it was one of the greatest mistakes of the 20th century. then there was your defence of lenin -right then the sick bucket was ready. im sorry but that was just for starters your praise of mao zse dong who killed more people than stalin and hitler put together was downright disgusting -- are you blind . Now you think that is justified that amount of killing by my mao tse dong. you falsely assert china as democratic -china doesn't have democracy , it is a one party state (a dictatorship-- you say that is a bad thing(dictatorship tha is ) --then why support china when it systemically raped and pillaged tibet , and due to communism has killed millions of people. Lenin was an enemy of democracy there was an elections the social revolutionaries won he didn't like it and so he cancelled the parliament and ruled a one party state-- in war communism he killed millions of people --he created the cheka ,the gulags, the camps where dissidents would be sent to he paved the way for stalin . then there is fidel castro again there is no democracy in cuba , castro -- crushes brutally any opposition to his rule through torture and killing --yet this seems ok as long as it is not the United states. ,doesn't allow freedom of religion , has a one party state ,and has been ruling as a dictator for nearly 40 years . It seems to me Ken as long as it is a left wing dictatorship it's fine for you , and the video you have on supporting democracy is rubbish .
Finally id just to like pay homage to our new london mayor in six months boris johnson who has all qualities you dont , charm , listening to people ,and not hating jews and inviting muslim extremists .
