The so called Trojan Horse affair rumbles on though there are doubts to the veracity of the original letter. In the end though it comes down to what's happening in various schools where the majority of pupils are muslim and the things that they are being taught and the teaching staff are being encouraged to teach by the school governors. Whether there's a plot to take over the schools I do not know, I'm pretty sure some islamists would love to, yet it does strike me that even if there were no plot, we'd still have grounds to be worried over what muslim dominated schools are teaching as a matter of course...
Mail.

Fears were raised yesterday of more ‘Trojan Horse’ Islamist plots to infiltrate schools across the country.
Ofsted is carrying out ‘lightning’ inspections at schools in the north and south-east of England amid concerns over governors abusing their position and narrowing the curriculum.
Snap visits have already been made to schools in Bradford, Luton and Tower Hamlets in East London, and more are expected to follow.
One inspection – at a private Muslim school in Luton – uncovered books promoting stoning, lashing and execution.
In Bradford, Ofsted has visited Laisterdyke Business and Enterprise College, where all governors were sacked in April to prevent inappropriate interference in the running of the school. During a visit yesterday, pupils were allegedly forced to revise for exams in the street as staff did not want them speaking to inspectors.

Normally one would wonder what they have to hide, though in this case I suspect we know, it will be behaviour that muslims think is justifies by their religion, yet they know is frowned upon by civilised people.

This is the direct result of multiculturalism and the state holding the rights of minorities above integration and essentially allowing them to think that they are above criticism and reproach for the twisted medieval views islam promotes in violence, misogyny and homophobia. The problem is not what is going on in the schools, it's islam and always has been. Yet there are those out there who will ignore all that islam does simply because they believe it's being persecuted by the state, they believe we are at fault and that somehow or other we are to blame for islamists.
More and more its becoming apparent that there is no place in a civilised society for islam, never has and never will be.

Lord Haw Haw

William Joyce (amongst others) was a wartime broadcaster from Nazi Germany who 'encouraged' the British to give up fighting and praised to high heavens Nazi victories and spouted Nazi propaganda in a series of radio broadcasts during WW2. Essentially he was a tool of the Nazi's to undermine morale and to disseminate propaganda to make it look like the Germans were winning (a bit easier in the first part of the war than the latter days)
Even today though we have apologists for foreign powers telling us that we need to accede to their wishes and roll over to give them what they want, so step forward Lord Davies, ex-Tory now Labour peer...
Express.

In a House of Lords debate, former minister Lord Davies asked the Government to remain “pragmatic” when it comes to assessing what should be run by Brussels and what should be governed by the UK.
Lord Davies, who defected to Labour from the Tories when sitting as MP for Grantham and Stamford in 2007, asked: “Will the government be guided in these negotiations by an honest and value and evidence based assessment of the national interest, and if so, is it not the case that such an assessment might well throw up opportunities for repatriating powers but equally well might throw up areas where it might be in the better and national interest for more powers to be concentrated or given to the Union or at the Union level?
“Will the Government maintain entirely pragmatic about that or will the government reject out of hand or shy away from conclusions of that kind?”

I suppose it is possible that Cameron could come to that sort of conclusion, God alone knows the boy Clegg believes it with all his heart. Yet I fail to see how removing powers from (vaguely) democratically accountable levels in the UK and handing it over to unelected, unaccountable EUrocrats in Brussels who don't have a clue as to local needs and wants is going to help anyone.
All Lord Davies is, is a mouthpiece for the EUphiles who want ever more interference in our lives by Brussels or as they put it, ever closer union. He's even reading the mood of the country wrong by spouting his guff in the face of Ukip's electoral success in the last election in that there appears to be no great desire from the British to give more to the EU or indeed remain in the EU. Nor do his credentials of leaping ship from one party to another stand him in good stead in my mind and simply confirm to myself that politicians are mostly unrepresentative of what the public want and follow their own desire to remain in power rather than resign if they are totally at odds with their party and seek re-election elsewhere.
Btw, we hung Lord Haw Haw... perhaps Lord Davies should bear that in mind.

Other way round

Seems the islamoscum who decided that ordinary patriots attending an EDL rally were fair game for a bomb have tasked their lawyers into appealing the sentences because they were too harsh and non-muslims would have got less.
BBC.

Six men jailed for planning to bomb an English Defence League rally are challenging their jail terms, saying they were treated more harshly than non-Muslim extremists.
The West Midlands men were jailed for between 18 and 20 years for plans related to the June 2012 rally, in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
The men are Omar Khan, Jewel Uddin, Zohaib Ahmed, Mohammed Hasseen, Anzal Hussain and Mohammed Saud
They were sentenced in June last year.

Lawyers and leftards tend to think this way too, though in the case of the lawyers it's the legal aid money they'll get that's the driving factor, not the perceived injustice. Yet from my admittedly biased point of view the problem is that the cases they brought up as examples should have got more jail time, not they get comparable ones. These men are simply dangerous and should have been put down like dogs, it's not like those they opposed were planning to bomb mosques now were they?
Whilst I believe that people should be free to appeal once, after that it really should only be if new evidence is introduced, so I have no problem with these guys appealing, I do object to the 'but he got away with it' style objection they have come up with, pointing out that a Nazi bomber got less of a sentence than they did is not grounds for appeal in my eyes. Nor do their claims of dissimilar harsher treatment for muslims hold much ground, this blog and others are full of examples where muslims have received far lighter treatment and lesser charges for some violent and outrageous behaviour.
No doubt they'll be hoping for a pardon and a compo claim if they win, wouldn't be surprised if some out there believe they deserve it...

We've lost control

It's something bloggers as well as other elements of the so called 'far right' have been railing about for years now. It's something that ordinary working people know about as they live with the mess it's caused. It's something that successive governments have denied even as the evidence mounted and the scandals grew.
Illegal immigration is out of control, it's bad enough that legal immigration is growing uncontrollably as well, but only one in seventy illegals are being deported if figures are to be believed.
Express.

Government data handed to the Daily Express shows 28,442 were held in Britain in the past two years despite migration experts putting the total of people here without permission as high as two million.
The figures – reporting that the foreign nationals come from 159 different countries, one from nearly every nation on earth – have sparked fresh calls for Britain to quit the EU and reclaim control of our frontiers.
Critics say the problem is the result of a soft-touch approach to immigration over decades and the majority of hard-working Britons now put it as one of their major concerns.
Newly-elected Ukip MEP Tim Aker said: “It is out of control.
"These arrests barely scratch the surface and show the Government’s distasteful go-home wagons were a gimmick and not a reflection they were serious about combating illegal immigration.
"Tackling this epidemic would be a top priority for Ukip as we are the only party that would get back control of our borders.”
The number of suspected illegal immigrants held in the past two years accounts for less than 1.5 per cent of the total number estimated by the pressure group Migration Watch to be here without permission.
The figures, which were obtained under a Freedom of Information request, show individuals from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh account for more than half those arrested.

Not only illegals, but islamic illegals too, as if we didn't have enough problems with the homegrown ones. Unfortunately the Border Agency's softly softly approach hasn't worked, it's been undermined by the previous government and from within by leftard sympathisers who don't seem to care a fig about the problems immigration is now causing the country, only that the demographics are changed to either help with votes or in the case of the leftards remove or marginalise the indigenous racist English as they see it.
Being in the EU doesn't help, the illegals simply get into some country and travel to Calais before paying up to be smuggled in, it means that with the free movement of Labour it's difficult to keep them out once they are in as they can move freely to our border. Nor does the HRA help as they often use that to plead persecution from their home country and delay the process, frequently enough vanishing again if given the chance. The scam on student visas helps a lot of them, they are easy to get and once they are in, amazingly enough a good few don't go back.
All this can be laid at the governments door, the current and previous one, their pandering to the EU and slavish adherence to the HRA has made the UK a haven for illegals as if they get in, there's a good chance they won't be going back.
I doubt we'll ever get control back until we leave the EU, even then it could take decades to sort out the mess politicians and the political classes have made of the border system.
And all the time it's getting worse...

Whatever happened to brightest and best?

Labour wrecked the university system we had in this country and generally have been a negating factor in education from without and within via the leftist leaning unions with their 'all must win' philosophies and emphasis on dragging all down to the lowest common denominator. They've even used left leaning think tanks to undermine the education system and make suggestions which frankly do not make sense if we wish our schools and universities to produce the best in educated pupils and scholars.
Telegraph.

Universities should drop their entry requirements for pupils from state comprehensives to prevent them missing out on sought-after degree courses, according to research published by the Department for Education.
Teenagers should be admitted to university with lower grades than peers from the private sector to close the gap between state and fee-paying schools, it was claimed.
The study, by the Institute for Fiscal Studies and Warwick University, said performance in GCSEs had the biggest bearing on pupils’ chances of gaining good A-levels and getting in to top universities.
Millions of pounds spent by universities each year to “widen participation” in higher education should be focused on pupils aged 14-to-16 to push them towards degree courses, it said.
But the research warned that the sheer gulf in standards between comprehensives and academically-selective state or private schools was so vast that more drastic measures were needed.

So rather than tackle the real problem of failing state schools the leftard solution is to reduce the entry requirements for failing schools at top universities.
Truly idiotic is it not?
It does not seem to have occurred to anyone making this report (or perhaps it has and it's all part of the plan) that allowing more poorly educated pupils into university doesn't help them, the university, nor the ones who've really earned a place there. If you go in with a lower standard you've got to be brought up to the required standard for one thing and so several will find themselves dropping out because they cannot cope with the far more rigorous requirements that universities need in order to get a degree in a subject that actually means something.
Education has been wrecked by the so called progressives in this country who demanded an everyone wins formulae to make the system look like year on year things were getting better despite the obvious reality that things weren't and we were producing an underclass to whom reading and basic maths was a foreign concept. It was then taken further to try and force higher education to expand and take on pupils who were manifestly ill equipped to cope with the rigours required in studying at that level.
So now we come to another biggie, lower your standards to let the ill educated in so all can win prizes...
You'd struggle to make it up wouldn't you?

And whose fault is it that we have extremists?

The gall of the left when it comes to blaming someone for the problems they originally caused knows no bounds. Currently they are using the BBC with whom they march hand in hand to lambaste the government for failing to deal with extremism properly...
BBC

Labour is to accuse the government of a "serious failure" to deal with the threat of extremism, in the wake of a row between two cabinet ministers.
Yvette Cooper will claim departments have failed to work together and anti-radicalisation funding has been cut.
David Cameron has vowed to get to the bottom of a spat between Theresa May and Michael Gove over the issue.
But Ms Cooper will say this is "missing the point" and there is no proper strategy for schools and communities.
Differences of opinion between the home secretary and education secretary, both seen as potential future Tory leaders, about how to deal with Islamic extremism were laid bare in a public row.

This would be the same Labour who allowed uncontrolled immigration of groups known to contain extremists, who pandered to their desires for segregation and who ignored all the warning signs as they worshipped at the altars of the deviant and false doctrines of diversity and multiculturalism and enabled the extremists via the odious Human Rights Act.
In essence Labour and the moronic left are to blame the government for failing to clear up their mess.
Hypocrisy writ large is it not?
Granted the government have simply carried on with their head in the sand over the activities of the islamoloons amongst us and haven't dealt effectively with those who mean us no good at all, some of this is institutional (the leftards in the bureaucracy), some due to 'human rights' constraints, some due to the utter unwillingness of idiots like Cameron to admit that islam is incompatible with civilised values.
However as much as Labour would like to deny it, they were the ones who brought the problems to our shores, not the current government. The row between Gove and May is a simple spat, he wants a hard line attitude, she can't as the HRA prevents it so Labour are attempting to take advantage of it.
Labours solution?

Ms Cooper will say the government needs to work more closely with community leaders, councils, faith groups and other bodies to hammer home the dangers of radicalisation.

Because that's worked ever so well in the past, hasn't it? Some community leaders are hard line radicals anyway and some faith groups harbour them.
We're doomed I tell you...

Another day, another scam

Well the Tories fended off Ukip in the Newark by-election only for another reason for people to vote Ukip emerge on the day after the election, a more suspicious man than I might think the news was suppressed in order to assist the comfortable status quo of the current establishment.
Express.

Loopholes in the system mean cheats are free to return to their homeland while being paid £87.55 a week. Workers from the EU see our 28-week statutory sick pay as easy pocket money.
Some even claim the payments while holding down second jobs back home. The deception was ­rumbled by company managers across Britain who say they are ­powerless to ­act.
The scandal confirms Britain has “lost the plot on immigration,” said a Ukip MEP last night.
It comes days after the Government conceded it was helpless to stop £30million a year in child benefit payments flowing out of Britain for the off-spring of EU migrants working here.
The Department for Work and ­Pensions said the system is not abused but admitted it does not keep records on sick pay for migrant workers. But it is worried enough to urge companies to report staff suspected of lying.
Last night a payroll manager at a firm in the South-west employing Polish drivers said one took 16 weeks sick leave last year and has racked up 12 weeks this year.
The company says the man has a second job abroad but as they receive certificates from his Polish doctor the absence goes unchallenged.

One wonders how the DWP can claim the system is not being abused whilst also saying they don't check or keep records.
Still, because the EU says we have to treat migrants here the same as someone born  here or who has paid into the system here even if they just sell Big Issues after stepping off the ferry it means that they can claim all their benefits here, take a 28 week sicky and return home to get their local doctor to keep signing them off whilst keeping their original job or enjoying a better lifestyle paid for by the UK taxpayer. Yet we're constantly told that the EU is good for us... It certainly appears to be good for anyone who wants to leach off us, along with its ruling classes to whom the corrupt lifestyle they lead enables them to pocket millions at the taxpayers expense.
We need to leave, yet the big three insist on keeping us in and telling us it's for the best, that's why I'll never vote for them, they are the ones responsible for the mess in the first place and don't seem to have a lue as to how to deal with their problems nor the gumption to tackle them.
Can't we just leave?

Guilty until proven innocent

Her Majesties Revenue & Customs don't seem to like the idea that people for a variety of legal reasons (some admittedly obscure) do not pay the tax that they believe they should and so have come up with another wizard wheeze to get their hands on cash they believe is theirs...
Telegraph.

Taxpayers will be treated as “guilty until proven innocent” as HM Revenue & Customs gets the power to force them to pay up front if officials suspect them of tax avoidance.
Under plans announced in the Queen’s Speech, people using tax avoidance schemes will be made to make “accelerated payments” as part of plans to raise around £2 billion.
Treasury figures suggest that 65,000 people could be affected by the new powers. HMRC could raise a more than £2bn in all.
The most controversial aspect of the new plans is for the new rules to apply to a “legacy stock” of pre-existing cases, where people invested money in contentious schemes several years ago.
George Osborne earlier this year announced a major Government crackdown on tax avoiders following a series of high-profile cases involving celebrities including Gary Barlow, the Take That singer.
Experts have warned that it will lead to tens of thousands of potentially innocent British citizens being forced to pay their taxes before they are even due.
The all-party Treasury Select Committee last month expressed concerns about the plans for up-front payments to HMRC.
Neal Todd, corporate tax partner at Berwin Leighton Paisner, warned that the HMRC are acting as “judge and jury”.

Yep, they decide you owe them and force you to hand it over and they hold onto it until you prove it's not theirs. It's a bit like a shop grabbing your wallet before you go in and deciding how much you're going to spend.
HMRC of course have form for getting it wrong and being extremely slow to put things right, it appears once they have our cash in their hands they're very reluctant to actually let go of it again under any circumstances whether its a mistake or incompetence on their part. And what we have with this proposed legislation is the equivalent of letting a fox into the chicken coop with instructions to go after specific chickens, you know it's going to be messy and mistakes are going to be made.
No doubt the leftards out there who bleat about avoidance as if it's a crime will be pleased that companies and individuals will be targeted, yet avoidance isn't a crime, evasion is and it needs to be proven, not simply suspected before you paid up or paid back.
Well you'd hope...

The enemy within

The Home Office is responsible for dealing with illegal immigration, unfortunately due to previous wishy washy legislation, the Human Rights Act and the indolence and corruption of the Borders Agency and its leadership it faces an uphill task. A task not made any easier by leftard moles working within its structure warning about raids on businesses employing illegals...
Mail.

A Whitehall mole has sabotaged hundreds of raids against immigrants working illegally in Britain by leaking sensitive government documents to activists, it was claimed last night.
Small businesses suspected of illicitly employing foreigners were tipped off after a radical protest group was covertly handed the hit-list.
The Home Office launched a two-week crackdown – codenamed Operation Centurion – to target workplaces, including care homes, hotels and restaurants and construction sites that were believed to be employing illegal immigrants.
But the Anti Raids Network, a left-wing pressure group, said it had warned the companies to expect officials to bang on the door after being passed the paperwork by the mole, Channel 4 News claimed.
The leak threatens to scupper the crackdown by allowing illegal workers to escape capture. The Anti Raids Network said it was justified because the swoops were ‘racially-profiled and unfair’ – a claim the Home Office said was ‘abhorrent and completely without foundation.’ It said the raids were ‘intelligence-led’.

One can only presume the dearth of actual intellect in a leftard group who believe that going after illegal immigrants is racist as by definition they will be of another race/nation/culture/religion to which the current definition of racist  seems to cover like a wet blanket. Generally illegals are economic migrants and work under the radar of the system for slave wages and do not contribute generally to the economy save in the area of VAT on sales of whatever they produce for their employer. They don't pay tax, they leech off the system in general and take jobs from those who actually are entitled to them. Naturally leftards love them as they in a very small way destroy trust in the system by their presence though how the moronic left justify the profits made by an employer indulging in employing illegals demonstrates hypocrisy of the highest order.
Unfortunately the civil service is rife with people who lean to the left in extreme ways they constantly sabotage government programs and their unions are amongst the most hard core militants of the TUC and who use their membership to rob the public via the taxpayer to pay for benefits the private sector workforce can only dream of.
That some are traitors to their country is a given, it's what the left do...

Aiding the recovery

Only an utter lunatic, leftard or EUphile will believe that picking peoples pockets by way of taxation will aid the recovery. By taking more away from us they believe the government will assist growth by spending it on projects they believe will be popular.
Mail.

Brussels has infuriated ministers with a provocative series of proposals to boost economic growth in Britain – including higher taxes, new levies on expensive homes, and more free childcare.
The European Commission acknowledged the UK economy had roared back to life over the past year, but warned of ‘imbalances’ that required action from the Treasury.
In an assessment of the state of the main EU economies, the Commission identified ‘risks in the housing sector’ as a problem for the UK and backed calls from other international organisations for the state’s Help to Buy scheme to be reined in.

Considering that the UK's recovery even if a lot of us haven't noticed is racing away from our EU rivals you'd almost suspect that the EU was trying to trip us up to help said rivals regain some ground. It's the typical solution of the leftards though, the magic money tree economics that caused the recession to be even worse than it actually had to be by pumping masses of cash via quantitative easing into the economy only to cause problems with inflation and see no measurable results by the use of it either, other than saddling the taxpayer with enough debt to cause our great grandchildren to be in hock up to their eyeballs.
The UK electors rejected EU meddling in the last election even if the biggest winner was the can't be arsed to vote party. You'd suspect they'd try to keep their heads down for a while, well you might, but the hubris of those idiots knows no bounds. As far as they are concerned, they know best and the rest of us have to simply do as they say, or that's the plan and always has been...

The end result (so far) of pandering to extremism

It has been a truism of politicians and the political classes over the last two decades at least to give lip service to the false doctrines of multiculturalism and political correctness. Slowly over the years this poisonous fruit of placing the desires of the few ahead of the wishes of the many has caused a change in our nation where speaking your mind or advancing even mild criticism of certain groups and religions has led to arrests of the complainants and/or a torrent of abuse heaped upon them by the self loathing leftards and compliant idiots of the UK establishment.
Yet slowly the truth of their pandering to extremists who they placed above criticism and investigation has come to light via the grooming scandals, barbaric butchery of ordinary people and the attempt finally to infiltrate our education system...
Telegraph.

The head of Ofsted is expected to reveal six schools have been placed in special measures following worrying evidence of religious interference in the classroom
Teachers are to be sent on training programmes to help them stop extremism entering the classroom, as damning reports show that some state schools have been imposing Islamic practices and attitudes.
The reports are due to be published by the education watchdog Ofsted next week, after inspectors carried out emergency checks in 21 schools in Birmingham following complaints of homophobia, the segregation of boys and girls in some lessons, refusal to teach sex education, bullying and invitations to extremists to speak at assemblies.
It is understood six schools, including Park View Academy, have been placed in special measures after inspectors found worrying evidence of religious interference in the classroom.
According to The Sunday Times, Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Ofsted, will claim next week that children in Birmingham are being denied a “rounded education” to prepare them for life as British citizens.
The Ofsted boss is expected to warn the education secretary Michael Gove that his inspectors have found evidence of some governing bodies being dominated by individuals intent on changing the character of schools.

This sadly is what islam does, it attempts first to ingratiate itself in a society when a tiny minority and when it grows it seeks to bend said society to its ways first by persuasion and finally by violence and intimidation until it becomes a majority and the country involved is simply another islamic shithole that the people want to get out of as islam as a political concept is deeply flawed and highly unworkable. Yet that doesn't stop islamists from hating and wanting to destroy societies from without and within who don't bow the knee to their demonic demigod.
What Ofsted has found will turn out to be the tip of the iceberg as the first arrests in the grooming scandal were the tip in that particular islamic activity. The islamic communities either cover up or ignore the activities of their extremists and let them get on with destroying the society they live in.
This is why islam is incompatible with western civilisation, it seeks not to integrate, but to dominate and destroy, that's why it needs to be rooted out completely and expunged from our shores, if we do not, it surely will destroy the land we live in beyond all recognition.

The idiocy of the easily offended

The are those out there who are easily offended, they are the type who can get a program suspended with one complaint, cause major offence to others by being offended in their name, even find offence where there essentially is none. They tend to be self loathing types who look for problems and issues where there are none and who seek the glare of publicity for their fifteen minutes of fame to highlight an 'issue' which essentially isn't...
Telegraph.

Customers say the £3 St George's Cross, with the word "England" on the red cross looks like the hoods worn by the racist US organisation
Supermarket Asda has defended a "wearable England flag" it has launched for the World Cup after claims it resembles a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
The £3 St George's Cross, with the word "England" on the red cross, features a hood which Asda said was to allow fans to wear it and stay dry despite the unpredictable British weather.
But some fans took to Twitter to point out what they believe were similarities with the hoods worn by the racist US organisation, also known by its initials "KKK".
One user called Kieran posted a picture of himself at his @KieranCPhoto account, writing: "Asda are selling wearable England flags, they look dodgy to say the least ..."
Another user called Simon replied on his @HungryHatter account: "'ENGLAND RULES OKKK' Honestly, do Asda simply not bother to see how these things look when worn? *sigh*"

As the KKK aren't an English organisation, nor do they have much if any support in England clearly this is a case of morons with too much time on their hands. Nor as far as I can tell do the hoodie flags cover the face and have eye holes in them as the KKK outfits do.

England fan

KKK member

Rather easy to spot the difference you might think.
I'm rather surprised that local witches and wizards haven't come out of the woodwork to complain about associating to their beliefs by wearing a pointy hat, nor anyone who wore a dunces cap either complaining about the memories invoked either come to that.
I suppose you could even get complaints about the Guatemalan cucurucho garb being mocked if you really want to get down to some serious being offended.

Cucurucho style

You see its only a flag, not an outfit and not meant to offend anyone, though the easily offended will no doubt continue to believe that anyone who drapes themselves with the flag of St George is a racist (closet or otherwise) simply because their self loathing will not allow them to do anything else.
It's one of those things where if you go looking for something long enough and hard enough, you'll find it, even if no one else save a few of your fellow morons can see it or wants to see it.
