When there's something Muslim in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Meet the British lawyer fighting Islam, one parking ticket at a time.
LONDON It is winter, the middle of December, and I find myself making an odd phone call. Pacing around my living room, I kick at the carpet as I dial the number.
"Hello?" I say.
"There's no time," the man on the other end of the line answers immediately. His name is Gavin Boby. We have e-mailed before, but I introduce myself again, explaining my background: education, photography and video experience, that sort of thing.
Boby's tone is measured and businesslike. "It sounds like you have skills that could be of use. Muslims are very bad losers," he says matter-of-factly. He'd like me to act as a witness, he tells me, videotaping his court appearances and searching the Internet for "targets." The conversation is taking me into uncomfortable territory; my voice wavers, and I begin to flounder. Boby doesn't notice. "I'll send you instructions on how we work," he says and hangs up. I have just become a Mosquebuster.

Why can’t *we* do this ourselves....in each and every community, across the fruited plain? It’s not difficult...just takes some chutzpah and time.

Boby has guts, and legalese. There might be hope for England, yet. As for America? Well, most of our lawyers are too busy chasing ambulances. The rest are in congress, wining and dining with lobbyists.

We could find an attorney....there are a lot of good sources out there. Off the top 'o my sleepy head, I'm thinkin' Mark Levin and the folks at IJ for starters. :)
Here is a chance to really fight for Western civilization
Appeal for volunteers!
- Positions to work remotely by internet. Well provide the documents. Skills needed: good at email.
- Positions to work visiting local communities around England. Well give you the action plan. Skills needed: community organising if President Obama could do it, you can.
Mosquebusters is the Law and Freedom Foundations a campaign to fight off planning applications for new mosques across England. Helping local groups set up campaigns, and providing legal expertise to make it count. Councils have no legal power to grant permission for mosques, and they need to be resisted.
Volunteers needed for:
- Freedom of Information requests. Were asking every Council, every week, if theres been an application for a mosque, community centre, cultural centre, islamic institute, or islamic school or college. Remote work. Will fit around your daily routine. Needs a good emailer.
- Sending out Action Packs to community groups, and answering simple follow up questions. Needs a good emailer, who can deal with action groups.
- Visiting local groups to nurture campaigns. Needs a community organiser.
- Attending Council Planning meetings to record objection statements.
Whats in it for you?
- Pay? Cant afford it yet, maybe never.
- Fame? If you give a name, itll probably be anonymous.
- Glory? Guardian readers will loathe every inch of your guts.
But you will:
- Put your foot on enemy territory, and see it stay there;
- Know you did your bit in the run-up to the crisis;
- Win.

What about having art show type poster displays with lots of posters about Islam, from images of “female excisions” to “Hog Wash Muslim Repellant”.,
I have a 17” printer and can run off lots of posters if anyone wants to go artsy on MadMo’s local followers.
Hmnnn - I also have a 24” printer as well. Consider what might be done with a few 4’ X 8’ sheets of foam insulation used as portable signs, and some printed materials to attach to the ‘signs’.
Signs of the times, indeed!
PS Given that a 5 foot wide printer can be gotten for under $2,500, what about a centralized FR poster shop where banners could created for use all over America? Imagine the effect of such info banners hung where traffic stops during the commuter times?
Anyone interested?

That’s a mighty generous offer. Perhaps posters could be *tailored* to specific events.

Poster can easily be made to meet the specific needs of the occasion. When written material is used, a program called “Poster” can do wonders, and so can many others.
Posters with images are easily found. Modifications are also easy to do.
The inks are ordered in bulk, and paper in rolls is cheap!
Any one want to educate a crowd?
