Foolish of Robert Blay to confide in The Mirror, but probably only natural to resent foreign upstarts


Ranil Jayawardena responds to UKIP candidate abuse

You can just imagine the hardcore saying:

"Yeah, whatever, but we still hate you anyway and life was better for us before you lot came over." 

Below are the tweets of a racist:

Robert Blay received 4,732 votes on 7 May 2015 doubling the vote of the UKIP PPC in 2010 Ruth Duffin, when she received  2,213.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans were in fact *Fascists*

When Hitler was going on about his Thousand Year Reich, what could he have been thinking of but the Romans?

Where did the Nazi salute come from?  It was really the Roman salute.

Personal virtues

These are the qualities of life to which every citizen (and, ideally, everyone else) should aspire. They are the heart of the Via Romana — the Roman Way — and are thought to be those qualities which gave the Roman Republic the moral strength to conquer and civilize the world. Today, they are the rods against which we can measure our own behavior and character, and we can strive to better understand and practice them in our everyday lives.


  1. Auctoritas  - "Spiritual Authority" The sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, Pietas, and Industria.
  2. Comitas - "Humour" Ease of manner, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.
  3. Clementia - "Mercy" Mildness and gentleness.
  4. Dignitas - "Dignity" A sense of self-worth, personal pride.
  5. Firmitas - "Tenacity" Strength of mind, the ability to stick to one's purpose.
  6. Frugalitas - "Frugalness" Economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly.
  7. Gravitas- "Gravity" A sense of the importance of the matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.
  8. Honestas - "Respectibility" The image that one presents as a respectable member of society.
  9. Humanitas - "Humanity" Refinement, civilization, learning, and being cultured.
  10. Industria - "Industriousness" Hard work.
  11. Pietas - "Dutifulness" More than religious piety; a respect for the natural order socially, politically, and religiously. Includes the ideas of patriotism and devotion to others.
  12. Prudentia - "Prudence" Foresight, wisdom, and personal discretion.
  13. Salubritas - "Wholesomeness" Health and cleanliness.
  14. Severitas - "Sternness" Gravity, self-control.
  15. Veritas - "Truthfulness" Honesty in dealing with others.


Public virtues

In addition to the private virtues which were aspired to by individuals, Roman culture also strove to uphold virtues which were shared by all of society in common. Note that some of the virtues to which individuals were expected to aspire are also public virtues to be sought by society as a whole. These virtues were often expressed by minting them on coinage; in this way, their message would be shared by all the classical world. In many cases, these virtues were personified as deities.

For more, see Aquila - The Public Roman Virtues (Nova Roma).

  1. Abundantia - "Abundance, Plenty" The ideal of there being enough food and prosperity for all segments of society.
  2. Aequitas - "Equity" Fair dealing both within government and among the people.
  3. Bonus Eventus - "Good fortune" Rememberance of important positive events.
  4. Clementia - "Clemency" Mercy, shown to other nations.
  5. Concordia - "Concord" Harmony among the Roman people, and also between Rome and other nations.
  6. Felicitas - "Happiness, prosperity" A celebration of the best aspects of Roman society.
  7. Fides - "Confidence" Good faith in all commercial and governmental dealings.
  8. Fortuna - "Fortune" An acknowledgement of positive events.
  9. Genius - "Spirit of Rome" Acknowledgement of the combined spirit of Rome, and its people.
  10. Hilaritas - "Mirth, rejoicing" An expression of happy times.
  11. Iustitia - "Justice" As expressed by sensible laws and governance.
  12. Laetitia - "Joy, Gladness" The celebration of thanksgiving, often of the resolution of crisis.
  13. Liberalitas - "Liberality" Generous giving.
  14. Libertas - "Freedom" A virtue which has been subsequently aspired to by all cultures.
  15. Nobilitas - "Noblility" Noble action within the public sphere.
  16. Ops - "Wealth" Acknowledgement of the prosperity of the Roman world.
  17. Patientia - "Endurance, Patience" The ability to weather storms and crisis.
  18. Pax - "Peace" A celebration of peace among society and between nations.
  19. Pietas - "Piety, Dutifulness" People paying honor to the gods.
  20. Providentia - "Providence, Fortethought" The ability of Roman society to survive trials and manifest a greater destiny.
  21. Pudicita - "Modesty, Chastity." A public expression which belies the accusation of "moral corruptness" in ancient Rome.
  22. Salus - "Safety" Concern for public health and wellfare.
  23. Securitas - "Confidence, Security" Brought by peace and efficient governance.
  24. Spes - "Hope" Especially during times of difficulty.

  26. Virtus - "Courage" Especially of leaders within society and government.

These virtues are the opposite of what liberals preach, are they not?

They prefer the seven deadly sins topped with the icing of self-pity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity; a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is very difficult to break.

Think of any Fascist symbol or even the swastika and compare that to the sorry infantilised blurred torn rags we now have today for what passes for ideology or morality and you will see what I mean.



Hardly anyone studies the Classics now, with the results that are now plain to see.

Compare the Twelve Tables of Rome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tables to the Conservative Party who cannot find their principles anywhere and seem to think they are contained in David Cameron's Foreword in their 2010 General Election manifesto. http://media.conservatives.s3.amazonaws.com/manifesto/cpmanifesto2010_lowres.pdf

Feminists would be horrified by the position of women in those times and wish to suppress knowledge of any patriarchy that existed before the hegemony of feminism, wouldn't they?  The historical ignorance of the typical British schoolchild is testament to success of the female-dominated teaching profession in suppressing knowledge of the patriarchal past.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2175009/Our-schools-need-tough-guys-teaching-teenage-boys-feminised-men-caring-primary-level-infants.html

Are Conservatives just people who don't know they are Fascist?

Darkness at the end of the tunnel

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/oct/01/home-office-threat-level-fear

67 BC -  The tribune A. Gabinius passes his lex Gabinia. This gives a command to Gn. Pompeius Magnus, who is given unlimited imperium on water to fight against the growing pirate menace.

The Muslim menace is the 21st century equivalent of the pirate menace, is it not?


That was the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic, before it plunged into civil war from which Octavian emerged as the first Roman Emperor. From a liberty-loving people who hated kings the Romans eventually became a people who practised emperor-worship.  Proof that a people who prefer security over liberty will eventually deserve neither. 
 

If only we could all join together and extricate ourselves out of the disaster and dishonor of the wars that being America's poodle has involved us in.

But Cameron voted *for* the war and twisted the arms of the Tory front bench to do the same. He agreed with virtually everything New Labour did. He only said he would implement New Labour policies better than New Labour itself. And the Tories swallowed all that: hook, line and sinker.

The taste for military adventurism started with Blair over Bosnia. Its success whetted his appetite for military adventures.

Thatcher only got back what was snatched from Britain.

And now we have it: a Conservative government being more socialist than a socialist government and a socialist government led by a warmonger, getting away with it because people only go by labels and never look inside the package to examine the ingredients, too slow-witted to notice that the labels had been switched ...

The Whig Interpretation of History

The new divisions in society now exists between those who can afford to be "compassionate" and those who cannot.

When absolute poverty disappears, society is then divided between those who can afford their champagne socialism and those who cannot.

Champagne socialists are those who willingly pay higher taxes to feel good about themselves and ask everyone to follow their virtuous example. These people think the carrot is the only thing a good liberal need to use even as they know that the majority are stupid, stubborn and vicious, liable to become worse if the stick is not used. Some of them do not even know this, because they are out of touch with the rest of society in their leafy suburbs and privileged lives. The stick, to a liberal, is "fascist". Carrot is "liberal".

This issue is totemic.

Liberalism is the classic example of sparing the rod and spoiling the child.

Liberals are Nice People who do not complain about single mothers like the Nasty People known as Conservatives. Theresa May and her Compassionate and Progressive Conservatives have surrendered their principles and submitted to champagne socialism because they were tired of the Ugly Truth and wanted to be thought of as nice people too, so people would vote for them.

This is after all what passes for ideological debate in Britain these days.

The Whig historian peddles a fantasy that things will keep getting better and better as long as liberals and liberal orthodoxies prevail.

Now is the time to challenge this fairy tale.

Liberals are more annoying than Fascists?

"I would rather have evil men act deliberately than have good people do terrible things by accident."

Does this statement say imply that liberals are more annoying than fascists / realists / Conservatives?

There is no right or wrong answer of course. Only one that agrees with mine, with all that this implies, of being in the company of the right-minded decent upstanding, or the other lot ....

Alan Duncan and free speech

Many have gloated and rubbed their hands in glee about Duncan's shit statement landing him in the proverbial do-do.

What he says is actually quite unsurprising and I would have no hesitation in admitting to being probably one of the MPs who would have got herself into trouble over very lax rules about expenses and then complained about there being a witch-hunt.

If Duncan wants to complain publicly or privately, that is up to him.

It is quite tragic that people cannot see the principle behind this.

My point is that free speech should be upheld, especially for people we dislike or we will not have free speech when others in turn dislike us for telling us things they would rather not hear.

No one, but no one, should be punished for telling the truth, not even an MP, not even an MP whom you dislike, not even if he is gay.

Nothing should happen to him but it seems it is his own side who want most to throw him to the wolves.

Haven't the Conservatives heard that those who do not hang together will hang separately?

Make no mistake that if we do not defend the right of our elected representatives to speak their mind, then we too will soon lose that right, and deservedly so.
