Wars really hurt Europe but the big killer was Socialism.

Many of the post war period's self reliant men left the country for places in the Common Wealth like Australia, New Zealand, Canada to avoid Socialism and others went on the Dole because,”They Earned It In The War” and became serfs.

Post War Britain was a pretty dismal and depressing place.

LOL! I like it! Seriously, that seems to be the only way to save that country. My mother was born and raised in Glasgow Scotland and she went back a few years ago to her old tenement and neighborhood and it was like freakin’ Islamabad, literally taken over by an entire country. Like John Cleese said “England is no longer England”

Oh utter crap.

Muslims make up 0.4% of the Scottish population. And were they even Muslims?. No offence, but does your aging mother see a brown face and think Muslim?. There is a small population of Sikhs and Hindus in Scotland as well.

My mother is from Glasgow. I work there. There is no area in Glasgow which is ‘all Muslim’ or even ‘all Asian’ or non-white immigrant.

There are areas in the city where Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims live heavily, but at most they make a sizeable chunk of one small community somewhere in Glasgow. Jews live heavily in Garnethill and Newton Mearns, but even though they are famous in Scotland as ‘jewish areas’, they arent of course exclusively Jewish. The East End of Glasgow historically is Irish Catholic. Same for any ‘South Asian area’ in Glasgow.

Freaking Islamabad?. Freaking exaggeration or porkie pies more like.

Story one is correct, BUT the local Muslim groups were the ones who alerted the police and social services, and it was the WHITE PC police and councils who did nothing.

Story two is sadly correct. Although that story is the story of idiot judges more than anything else.

Story three isnt true. There have been several bunkum stories on that variant in the British press for the last few years, none of them true.

I swear somebody is gonna pull a mass killing at a Moslem school in the UK one of these days. I’m just saying it because one man on an island killed how many political camp kids last year?

Just one person.

Of course MI5 is totally in control.... The seeing eye is everywhere.

It was a visit by schoolchildren to a mosque. Scottish/British schoolchildren visit mosques, Protestant and Catholic churches, Buddhist temples, synagogues, Sikh temples, as part of RE field trips.

Nothing new.
Nothing sinister.

I can remember myself visiting Presybterian, Catholic, Episcopalian and a Sikh temple as part of my RE teaching (1982-1988).


Must be more recent trend than my RE.

In Liverpool (1958-1965) we never visited any religious locations as part of high school RE.

The teaching and field trips were mostly nondenominational (historic cathedrals excepted) and other religions only affected us on Friday when we didn't get meat at school lunch. I really think that was a money saving idea though - all of the Catholic kids went to Catholic schools...:^)

In the 60's religion was an "at home" thing, as it should be.

And 96% of the UK isnt Muslim. This idea we are a dhimmi nation is nonsense. We have a Conservative, white, upper class, Scots-English-Welsh-Jewish Prime Minister, whilst you have Barry Hussein.


96% might be correct nation wide, but a drive around Bradford is quite amazing.

14% Muslim, and those were 1991 figures -

They've already scrubbed Winston Churchill from the school books. England's kids today are growing up without a clue as to who he was.

The mosseslimes have a deep hatred of Churchill. As a young man in the military, he fought them in Pakistan and around Afghanistan - and he wrote a book in the late 1800's, on his experiences with mooselimes, that told the world just who they were/are. ("The Story of the Malakand Field Force.")

Churchill is still enemy no. ONE with mosselimes - the REAL reason almost the first act of O’bumbles a pres. was to take the bust of Churchill in the Oval Office and pack it off back to England - a colossal insult.

well, lest any of you also doubt my assertion in post # 69 that Winston Churchill has already been banned from the textbooks in the UK - I can bak it up - (read my post #69 fo the reasons why he’s banned - and the real reason O’bumbles, almost the first day he walked into the Oval Office, had teh bust of Churchill packed off back to England)

When the banning of Churchill form the textbooks happened, I was in correspondance with his grandson, the HOnorable Nicholas Soames, MP - He wrote me:

“Dear M....,

Thank you very much for the extremely generous and welcome support you sent me about my grandfather.

It is always a source of immense satisfaction that so many of your fellow countrymen cherish his memory and I can assure you that we, his family, are deeply grateful.

Thank you again very much.

With warm best wishes.

The Education Secretary Michael Gove (a Scot), has ensured that recent changes to the national teaching has re-included Churchill and other legendary figures like Nightingale, Nelson etc.

Gove and the Tory-led coalition are trying to put back as many traditional elements of history/teaching as they can. Which is a good step.

GREAT news - thank you for that update!

With people like Geert Wilders (Denmark) and another MP from Belgium - Europe MAY be able to stem the tide long enough for people to wake up, get on board, and demand their country back.

Here he is defending himself in a protracted ‘hate crime’ trial. He WON!

and below - this will warm the cockles of yer heart! thie Belgium MP rips a new one for the Turkish ambassador. (Golly, wonder how he really feels LOL)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pfEJaI2iS4

and here - a Swiss MP, Oskar Freysinger, speaking in Germany - tells it like it is -

“Have we gone mad?”

The only politician we have in the US who will tell the truth is the man both the dems AND the GOPe are determined to oust from Congress, Lt. Col Allen West - Congressman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnJG_bQuJdE

and I LOVE this one

CAIR got their head handed to them - they demanded he appologize - He said ‘Hell, no.” They have since left HOM alone because he KNOWS Islam backwards and forewards - and spills the beans.

This is really hard to believe. The Brits were never pussies, what the hell is going on?

The Brits have pretty much reached the tipping point when it comes to Muslim influence on social institutions like schools.

Couple/few years back whatever British ministry handles their census stuff and puts out the annual "most popular baby names" list changed their methodology a bit. Rather than identifying different spellings of the same name as different names, they started lumping them all together.

When they did that the combined variations of "Mohammed" added up to the #2 name on the list.

Can anyone think of any religion or pseudo-religion that governments go out of their way not to offend the same way they do for Islam?

I sure as heck can’t think of one.
Yet they go out of their way to offend and oppress Christians, that’s fashionable these days.

The UK now has a smaller navy than India. India has a carrier with Sea Harriers, the British sold their remaining Sea Harrier FR2a to India. The serfs in the Eurabian province of Anglestan don't seem to notice.

As I type this, National Geographic is running a piece on the Einsatzgruppen, the special action groups of SS who shot Jews in Eastern Europe.
