Soviet measures in the area of minority rights became known as “nationalities policies,” after the Russian legal term natsional’nost’ that captures a cultural identity of a group and a citizen, while also having a political component. Nationality linked a specific group to an explicitly defined territory, which that group was entitled to administer as its officially recognized historical homeland.

The reality of blood and soil, race and empire

What the original people of an empire must understand is that once an empire has acquired enough land and peoples, the descendants of the people who did all the fighting will not get the credit if they suffer from degeneracy. It is the descendants of the peoples acquired who will end up receiving preferment because they are more anxious to please their imperial masters.

There must be parents who prefer their adopted children more than their own offspring if the former is industrious and deferential while the latter lazy and insolent.

Swedish woman is now Western woman, therefore Swedish man is now Western man

Sweden is dying because it is a matriarchy.
To discover that your society is a matriarchy is to discover it has a terminal illness.





























https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel

The corruption of language is the corruption of thought.

The corruption of thought is the corruption of the law.

The corruption of the law is the corruption of morality.

The moral corruption of a society is the destruction of social cohesion.

Social cohesion is necessary for shared values, national identity and the continued existence of a nation.

Only through respecting the rules of marriage is it possible for a society to keep and maintain what it has so far acquired in the way of possessions and knowledge.

All societies need the protection of social conservatism to protect themselves from their internal and external enemies.

The eternal enemies of society are sluts and socialists. 

Everything about female promiscuity undermines marriage.

Everything about feminism destroys civilisation.

Not a single feminist is prepared to discuss any of this.

What all feminists will conspire to do is ignore, marginalise and smear anyone who asks any of the questions I have asked, proving that they are indeed the totalitarian enemies of free speech and civilisation. 

History first enacts itself as tragedy, then repeats itself as farce.

The ancient Chinese idea of Yin and Yang acknowledges this eternal battle of the sexes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_marriage#Marriages_in_early_societies

In traditional Chinese thinking, people in "primitive" societies did not marry, but had sexual relationships with one another indiscriminately. Such people were thought to live like animals, and they did not have the precise concept of motherhood, fatherhood, sibling, husband and wife, and gender, not to mention match-making and marriage ceremony. Part of the Confucian "civilizing mission" was to define what it meant to be a Father or a Husband, and to teach people to respect the proper relationship between family members and regulate sexual behavior.

God was created by Man to make the laws that protect his civilisation from the Slut, because Man  knows he cannot trust himself to say no to the Slut. This is why a theocracy is both logical and necessary, even to me, an agnostic.

In a matriarchy where there is no alpha male, there is only the weaker sex and the even weaker sex, to be invaded, raped, pillaged, and conquered.

Why don't women care about men's civilisation?

Because they didn't create it and know they will be OK whatever happens, in just the way a lion's harem never come to his assistance when they know if he loses the fight against his potential usurper he has to leave the pride and his cubs will be killed by the usurper. If their cubs are killed, that's just fine with the lionesses, because they will be impregnated again by the victor, who won't have a loser's genes.

Helen was a slut, Paris was an MCSF and Troy fell because it protected them. The West is Troy.
Nothing much happened to Helen. Menelaus just took her back to Sparta as his wife.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahab
Rahab was honoured for letting the invaders into Jericho.

In short, feminism is a shit test to test the fitness of men and their civilisation to survive.

Strangely and surprisingly, Western man prefers merely to complain weakly and weekly about being exploited by Jews and invaded by Muslims and assorted foreigners. He prefers merely to complain than actually having to marry a woman of his own race and bringing up her children, apparently. If he does not think women of his own race are worth marrying because they are all feminists, he does not seem able to get up the courage to denounce feminism and propose the repeal of its laws viz:

  • the law that says it is OK to have premarital sex
  • the Equal Pay Act 1970
  • the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973
  • the Sex Discrimination Act 1975
  • the Equality Act 2010
This means that the next generation will be even more slut and bastard and more full of morally compromised slut-fuckers than previous generations, entrenching the idiocracy.



Catch 22:

The only way Western civilisation can be saved is if it became Islamic. But if it became Islamic, then Western civilisation as we know it - sexually promiscuous, hedonist, feminist, consumerist, still fucking around with elections under a multi-party system of indiscriminate universal suffrage falling over themselves to pander to feminine preferences - would have to end.

http://www.returnofkings.com/70400/all-swedes-will-be-forced-to-fund-female-promiscuity

The Muslim Brotherhood is creating a 'parallel social structure' in Sweden, aided by 'political elites' making it impossible to criticise Islam, government report admits

“Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems. If anything, he understated them.” - Per Jimmie Akesson and Mattias Karlsson, in Wall Street Journal op-ed

Stereotype of Swedish women as promiscuous

“We have strange drinking habits and we copulate assiduously, before we commit suicide on a large scale, after we have paid a terrible amount of taxes,” is how the actor Erland Josephson ironically summarized the foreigner’s image of Sweden in 1987 (30).

Englishwoman Mary Wollstonecraft, who actually went to Sweden, complained about promiscuity at length. In her famous travel book of 1796, Letters written during a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (already translated into German in 1800) she wrote of “the total want of chastity in the lower class of women” (Wollstonecraft 1989:258) in Sweden, for whom love is “merely an appetite, to fulfil the main design of nature, never enlivened by either affection or sentiments” (314).

The about-turn in the (West) German perception of Swedish sexuality first becomes apparent in the fifties, as the Swedish film industry achieved great success abroad with, for that period, very permissive films such as Arne Mattsson’s Hon dansade en sommar (1951; English One Summer of Happiness) and Ingmar Bergman’s Sommaren med Monika (1952; English Summer with Monika) and became “the initiator of cinematic aphrodisiacs” (Der Spiegel 1964:96) – to some extent involuntarily. For example a second version of Sommaren med Monika was also shown in the USA; cut from 97 to 65 minutes, dubbed and with new film music as Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl (Stevenson 1995:19–22). “Stockholm produces cultivated films with good photographic technique, with preaching pastors and naked women” is how the cinema researcher Georges Sadoul summarized the “Swedish film” in 1957 (394). Or even shorter: “naked swimming plus social criticism” (Der Spiegel 1964:96). But if one examines the reception of, for example, Hon dansade en sommar in German-speaking countries (see Beindorf 1995 and 1996), it is noticeable that the “immoral” is still not attributed to the country and its inhabitants. The stereotype only arose in the course of the following twenty years. Der Spiegel (1969:132) summarized as follows under the headline “Free from taboos”:

Drugs and pornography, prisons without doors and girls without morals, boredom and short skirts, hot love and cool people – that is the average German’s image of Sweden.

 there is no shortage of arguments to confirm that the heterostereotype really is referential. Historians and ethnologists argue that a specific Scandinavian or Swedish development with regard to sexual practice has existed for centuries. Two historical phenomena are held primarily responsible for the tradition of premarital relationships in Scandinavian countries; “night courtship”, ritualized visiting by young men in unmarried women’s bedrooms, and the specific function of engagement in old Nordic law, which counted as permission to commence a sexual relationship (Hertoft 1970:61–69; Löfgren 1972; Frykman 1977). Wollstonecraft wrote as an eyewitness about the sexual activities of young couples subject to the conflicting forces of secular engagement custom and religious marriage law:

Young people, who are attached to each other, with the consent of their friends, exchange rings, and are permitted to enjoy a degree of liberty together, which I have never noticed in any other country. The days of courtship are therefore prolonged, till it be perfectly convenient to marry: the intimacy often becomes very tender: and if the lover obtains the privilege of a husband, it can only be termed half by stealth, because the family is wilfully blind. (326)

In Stockholm around 1850 almost half of all children were born to single mothers; in general the proportion of extramarital children in Sweden in the nineteenth century was about 10% (Frykman 1977; Frykman 1993:189f.; cf. also Hertoft 1970:68). This is not to mention the marriages entered into after conception but before birth. The assertion was that the nexus between sexuality and religious sexual norms had actually always been undermined – a development which continued with the great morality debate in the Modern Breakthrough and in the cultural debate of the 1930s, which was in many respects a struggle for self-determination in sexuality (Bergström-Walan 1970:11–58; Linnér 1967; above all Lennerhed 1994 and 1991). In the thirties a new functionalist physical consciousness, modernism, and the construction of discursive-collective identities such as national identity were combined to great effect (Frykman 1993:161ff.). In 1938 information on contraception was legalized and the first abortion law was passed (although without permitting social grounds). Sex education was made obligatory in all schools in 1955, an event which attracted worldwide attention; “the Swedish sin” became a catch-phrase (Lennerhed 1991; Frykman 1993:189ff.). The sexual liberalism debate conducted with great enthusiasm between 1962 and 1965, and also the Swedish sense of being the international standard-bearers of modernism influenced foreign opinion. Western conservatives were convinced that the Swedes had sacrificed the secret of sexuality to profane functionalism, functionalizing sexuality as a hedonistic principle. On the other hand, liberals praised Sweden as the model for progressive sexual policy and asked “whether it would be worth creating ‘many Swedens’ of sexual policy” (Giese 1970:9).

a comparative analysis of illegitimate birth rates in Sweden and elsewhere3 shows that premarital sexual intercourse was common in Europe and North America, a consequence of the “European Marriage Pattern” (early sexual maturity, high marriage age) (Mitterauer 1983:23– 30). Scandinavia is one of the regions with traditionally high illegitimacy rates, but the figures for the Eastern Alps region are significantly higher. For example, in Vienna in the second half of the nineteenth century, the proportion of births out of wedlock was over 50% (Mitterauer 1983:25). In Bavaria in the nineteenth century the figure was around 20% (Nipperdey 1991:127). The particular function of engagement existed into modern times, not just in Scandinavia but also in England, North America, France, Portugal, etc. (Mitterauer 1983:14). And night courtship was widespread in Central Europe, the Baltic region, Wales, Western France, etc., under a variety of names (Kiltgang in Switzerland, Fensterln in Austria, Nachtfreien etc.) (Mitterauer 1983:57).

As a central discourse of modernization, sexuality was progressively socialized by it4 and thus inseparably interlinked with the entire social system:

Because important cultural systems (religion/ theology/church; state/law; family/marriage; science; art; economics), lay claim to and realize love, its control, shaping and functionalization, its domestication, classification, or simply representation, alterations in one or more of these systems lead to alterations in the attitude to sexuality. And vice versa; alterations in the attitude to sexuality lead to alterations in one or more cultural systems (Beutin 1993:92).

At the latest since Foucault’s research it has become a platitude that discourses on sexuality always develop where the power in society is located, and are an instrument of power (Foucault 1978). There is an inseparable relationship between supposedly “merely” interpersonal sexual behaviour and the overall organization of society (Giddens 1992:3).

Sexuality is capable of representing the modernization project not only in synecdochic, but also in metaphoric terms. Modernization research, long committed to linear models, has in recent years emphasized that modernization is a paradoxical process which unites apparently contradictory developments (e.g. individualization and pluralization) (van der Loo & van Reijen 1992). At least in Western cultures sexuality has a similar paradoxical character. It is viewed ambivalently, on the one hand with fascination, on the other with fear and caution. My main point is that the promiscuity stereotypically attributed to the Swedes is primarily an expression of the ambivalent stance taken on the best-known project of Swedish modernity, namely, the welfare state.

As late as 1963, in the context of a long Spiegel interview with the Swedish prime minister Tage Erlander, Sweden was presented as the “perfect” welfare state under the headline “Everyone is entitled to a pension”. The journalist’s critical questions were directed solely at the affordability of the welfare state, and its relationship to the private economy, and no reference was made to sexuality either in the journalist’s questions or in the illustrations for the interview (Der Spiegel 1963:60–67). It was not until the end of the sixties, when critical voices were increasingly heard, that the stereotype received prominence in West Germany. Examples are the Spiegel quote already mentioned or Huntford’s book on the Swedish welfare state, published in 1971 and translated into German in 1973. Huntford “crowned” his polemical criticism of the Swedish new totalitarians with a chapter on the promiscuous behaviour of the Swedes, stating that the freedom of copulation has led to an obsession which permeates all of Swedish life (Huntford 1971). Lennerhed, who has investigated “the Swedish sin” above all in Anglo-American regions, summarizes:

In the context, however, it appears important that the negative post-war image of Sweden is so extremely focused on Swedish sexual policy. The rational, pragmatic and reform-oriented sexual policy was seen as typical of the Swedish state and possibly of the welfare state in general (Lennerhed 1994:97).

The German heterostereotype of Swedish promiscuity implies the same connection between sexuality and welfare state, but it interprets it differently. It is more differentiated, because it does not only express criticism of the Swedish welfare state “model”, but articulates ambivalence towards it. This is because Swedish sexual behaviour came into use as a stereotype in the Federal Republic of Germany at precisely the moment when the image of Sweden became ambiguous,5 as criticism and fascination became paradoxically fused in public consciousness. The following question was asked in a representative West German opinion poll in August 1970: “Which country is the best example to us in terms of social matters, or is no country a model to us in terms of social matters?” For 44% of those questioned there was no country which was superior in social matters, but Sweden was in second place with 36%, with Switzerland at 7% and Denmark at 3% far behind. Even amongst CDU/CSU supporters, whose party leaderships presented Sweden as a socialist horror state, one in three thought that Sweden was a good example (Der Spiegel 1970:79f.). The attraction of the “model” was by no means gone (see also Der Spiegel 1972:122–145).

Finally, it is noticeable that the stereotype normally refers to female sexual behaviour. But this is only surprising if the stereotype is understood as referential in relation to the Swedish sex debate, where other subjects such as sex education, the abortion question, equal rights for homosexuals, and censorship played an important role (Lennerhed 1994) – a series of things which are ignored by the stereotype. Because, unlike tempting-threatening female sexuality, they do not offer the (male) groups which dominate public debate the opportunity to articulate ambivalence towards the welfare state project.6 An additional factor is certainly rhetorical identification of the Swedish welfare state as woman, emphasizing “female” characteristics (care, unagressiveness, warmth) (cf. Ehn 1993:279).

In the film The Producers mentioned at the start, the Swedish secretary Ulla, characterized as a “Swedish sexpot” in the secondary literature (Yacowar 1981:76), has long lost all specific “Swedish” qualities. She has become an icon for (heterosexual)7 sexuality itself.

The blonde woman became the sensual dream woman, her hair no longer an indication of shyness and chastity, but an erotic allure.

The Swedish Woman is now the Western Woman.  

The Bhagavad Gita:

"Out of the corruption of women proceeds the corruption of races; out of the corruption of races, the loss of memory; out of the loss of memory, the loss of understanding, and out of this all evil."

A few things to bear in mind about race

1. Racial differences are in fact cultural.

2. Cultural similarities can be attributed to geography, religion and government.

3. Birds of a feather flock together.

4. While a person's race can be a predictor of behaviour, it is not sufficient to simply rely on that if you are looking for a spouse or an employee.

5. Those of the same race can be very unpleasant to each other.

6. White people can be horrid to each other.

7. White Christian people have been infamously horrid to each other eg burning each other at the stake over the beliefs they held over their common religion of Christianity.

8. While that is so, you cannot say no good came of it for white people, because it was religiously persecuted white people who founded America and America is now top dog nation of the world and the source of Western hegemony after Europe destroyed itself in two World Wars over Belgium and Poland respectively.

9. For some reason nobody minds if people of the same race are horrid to each other and just shrug their shoulders at atrocities committed by members of the same race eg burning each other at the stake over their personal beliefs about the nature of the Trinity or whether their monarch should obey the Pope, but get on their high horse if one race commits atrocities on another.

10. I am not that bothered about racism living in the West as a non-white person because I know mono-racial societies can have revolutions during which everyone is busily being horrid to each other and you may find yourself persecuted by people of the same party and church or even your own family and former friends. It has been said that the people most likely to murder you in peacetime are your parents, children or your spouse who have something to gain from your death, especially if they are beneficiaries of your will ie people of your own race.

11. Racism is therefore lazy thinking and the wish to rely on lazy theories that make you think you can tell if someone is going to be nice or nasty to you but which will prove to be disastrously inaccurate. My contact with racists has revealed that they are just people who wish to hang on their lazy theories of the eternal racial superiority of white people and the eternal racial inferiority of other races, as well as the eternal racial superiority of Jewish people whom they hate and fear for being racially superior to them because of their religion.

The badges of identity


  1. Country of Birth
  2. Country of Residence
  3. Language spoken
  4. Religion/Politics
  5. Class
  6. Gender
  7. Age
  8. Marital status and whether a parent
  9. Sexuality
  10. Race (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH NATIONALITY)
  11. Nationality (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH RACE)


People who confuse race with nationality tend to be not the brightest or best educated of people and have trouble understanding abstract ideas.

Race is something about yourself you cannot change (unless you are Michael Jackson and prepared to have cosmetic surgery.

Nationality is something you can acquire or lose, like your passport(s). Some people have more than one, someone people don't even have one.

Marriage and Civilisation


When we desecrate marriage we lose our traditions.

When we lose our traditions, we lose our memory.

When we lose our memory, we lose our mind.

When we lose our mind, we are held in contempt by other races and nations.

We suffer dementia when we say it is OK for women to be SSMs.

What are SSMs?

Why I joined the BNP - Part I

I am a member of the BNP and do not regard myself as a racist. Being a member of the BNP of course attracts all the usual accusations of being a Nazi Fascist Racist Extremist. 



I also regard myself as a nationalist in the sense that I believe there should be a developed ideology of what constitutes the national interest, and that the national interest cannot be represented by just one group of people who identify themselves by race, religion or whatever.  


In my opinion, the national interest should be defined as the long-term interest of the nation.



The national interest (because the nation consists of many groups of people with competing interests on grounds of gender, class, wealth, race, religion etc) should always be a judicious balance of competing interests within that nation.  


Ethno-nationalism is therefore, in my opinion, a contradiction in terms.  It is but racial preference and therefore has a divisive effect on the nation. 


While I am aware that the BNP is a party that promotes the interests of white people, I do not see why their interests are necessarily in conflict with other races if their more racially-motivated policies are dropped. 


The policies of the BNP that I agree with are:

  1. opposition to the invasion of "Afraq"
  2. withdrawal from the EU
  3. the reintroduction of the death penalty
  4. selective education
  5. opposition to uncontrolled immigration
  6. repeal of all anti-discrimination legislation
I do not fear the party's policy of voluntary repatriation, though I am firmly of the view that it would be the better for the party if it dropped this altogether.  The wiser and more experienced activists of the party already know that the only people it is politically respectable to propose expelling are illegal immigrants. 

It is my firm belief that most people, irrespective of race and religion, if left to themselves, would support most of the policies of the BNP.  They do not because they are too hypocritical and cowardly to do the most obvious thing, which is to vote for the party that has the most policies that they agree with, and simply express this preference.

If everyone did just this, then politics in this country would be in a better place.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-384167/Most-Britons-actually-support-BNP-policies.html

Instead, they regard elections as some sort of bet, and if the party they vote for does not win, they feel they have wasted their vote.

I do not believe that any race is inherently better than any other. It is all a question of culture, which is created by religion and politics, which is of course eternally fluid because religion and politics will always be affected by external circumstances in just the same as we individuals are.

Perhaps nations, like individuals, all have a designated lifespan.

If that is so, then Western civilisation is an old woman suffering from dementia.

Islam's racial neutrality and Judaism emphasis on race and lineage

Compare:


"Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in God's sight is that one of you who best performs his duty. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware." (The Qur'an , 49:13)


with 

1.  the concept of the Jews being The Chosen People.  
2.  the implication that the Chosen People are racially superior to those not chosen by God
3.  the fact that Judaism is an ethno-religion
4.  the fact that Zionism is a species of ethno-nationalism

Birth and Belonging: Personal, National and Ethnic Identity

http://www.wellcomecollection.org/whats-on/events/china-birth-and-belonging.aspx

A fascinating symposium demonstrating that the Chinese are also whingeing about not knowing what they are and what they are supposed to be.

Obviously, the Chinese are not what they were, ie in pigtails, concubines, bound feet etc.

But what are they now? Is it a race thing or nation thing?

In Taiwan they have a better idea of ancient Chinese traditions.

On the mainland they are modern individual barbarians: godless, consumerist, mostly without relations, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, little emperors who will probably euthanase their parents if they hang around too long.

(The Chinese were once known for their filial piety.)

Identity, at any rate, is something that can be

  1. performed
  2. claimed
  3. fought over
Identity is what those with a weak sense of identity seek to establish. The lack of it is most painful at adolescence, impelling some to become suicide bombers as an assertion of an identity they have chosen to embrace.

Let us therefore universalise this pain in a world with an embarrassment of riches as to the kinds of identities we could embrace.

The factors affecting identity are:

  1. birthplace
  2. race
  3. nationality
  4. religion
  5. family
  6. politics
  7. culture
  8. language
  9. gender
  10. sexual orientation
  11. talent
  12. reputation
  13. occupation
  14. associates
  15. current place of residence
  16. where our heart is
  17. class
I could go on and on, but ultimately, we all have multiple identities.

Our identity depends on who is asking, why they want to know, where we are and the social context in which the question is being asked.

They are shifting all the time.

What a shame that members of BNP - for whom such a symposium would be so enlightening, would never dream of attending such an event.

That is because they are working class and lower middle class, who are conservative people who would unhesitatingly say things "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like."

They are unimaginative people who like being with their own kind even as they are unkind to their own kind.

They are right, up to a point, that a mono-racial nation is visually comforting, but forget that people of the same race will soon find differences to kill each other over. History is littered with endless examples.

There was an exercise in which someone would be asked to copy from a picture, another would copy from that person's drawing and yet another would do the same etc.

This exercise made me think of Chinese whispers and out of control cancer cells dividing, not stopping, not doing what they are supposed to do.

The result could be more interesting, perhaps, if the artist, Yuen Fong Ling, had made a participant draw a self-portrait of himself and had someone else copy the result etc.

It was one of the many demonstrations about how deracinated and inauthentic the British and overseas Chinese are.

The concept of Chinese identity is paradoxically stronger in a non-Chinese, even if mistaken. It is after all the non-Chinese, who say very confidently that the Chinese are this, that or the other.

The Taiwanese think they are the real thing because they have been protected from the unChinese characteristics of Communism, while the mainlanders think they are The Real Thing, whatever they have turned into.

Even now we no don't really know what we are, what we could become or what we ought to be.

Perhaps too much choice is confusing, unsettling and upsetting.

This partly explains why Muslim youth who blow themselves up do what they do. They live on as Islamist terrorists, which was the identity they actively embraced and must have known would establish their post mortem reputation. They lived and died with this certainty.

Our identity is what we really are, what we want to be, and how others see us. Only if they are in harmony will we be happy in our skins.

The British White People's Party

Tomorrow is St Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and the day on which the British National Party will vote on their constitution.

Under the compulsion of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, they have to allow non-whites into their party.

They will have to excise clause 3.2.2 (against what they would call miscegenation or anti-race mixing) which has been declared illegal:

"We stand for the preservation of the national and ethnic characteristics of all indigenous peoples in their own homelands throughout the world. We are implacably opposed to the promotion by any means of any form of integration or assimilation of any indigenous peoples, including the Indigenous British, which is or is likely to deprive any such people of their integrity as a distinct people or the distinctiveness of their cultural values or of their ethnic or national identities or characteristics. We are therefore each duty bound, as our own consciences shall dictate, to oppose the promotion of any form integration or assimilation which is or is likely to have such an effect on the Indigenous British."


If I were the Equalities Commission setting out to persecute these anti-misceganists and racial separatists, I would just have left them to themselves. It is after all their right not to mix with anyone they don't wish to mix with, however offensive it is to the rest of us.

I would however draw attention to the fact that they have misunderstood the concept of Nation and Nationhood. Both are abstract ideas and cannot be seen, only understood in the same way we understand pleasure and pain, order and chaos and other such abstract concepts.

I would forbid them from mis-using the term "National" or "Nationalist" any further and demand that they change their name to the British White People's Party.

This is after all what they are and what they want to be.

St George's Day in Trafalgar Square - BNP mayoral candidate as St George




How mongrelised we are now, everyone and everywhere! The sight of a British Nationalist wearing the flag of St George as sarong just like a Malay, as I saw him heading towards All Bar One in Leicester Square with his companions after the BNP procession in Trafalgar Square, was bemusing to say the least. There was even a skinhead who more typifies the mental image of a National Fronter or British nationalist most people have of the “Far Right” - but he was perfectly pleasant when I asked him to turn his head so that his tattoos could be photographed to greater advantage.


My crystal ball is not giving me a clear picture as to whether British nationalism is a force for good or evil, but it has been awakened and will no longer be quiet, as the increased support for the BNP is showing and will continue to show. It will have to be managed very carefully by those within the party and those of us outside it who find quite a few of their policies appealing. At any rate it will have the effect of making politics a little more interesting, which must be a Good Thing, as I run an opinion-polling direct democracy website - http://www.1party4all.co.uk/ that runs on a paradox of unity and diversity. (Yes, it is a virtal one-party state that I run as my very own fiefdom. All are compelled to think independently ...)


British Nationalism is a misnomer and nonsense if it equates nationality with race, surely? There is a difference between race and nation. One is how you look, the other is where you think you belong, what you do and how you think. Nation transcends race - being a concept, while race is just a set of physical characteristics - they are not mutually interchangeable, as the BNP apparently believe.

The unexpectedness of an Afro-Caribbean who wanted to be in on the picture was a delicious irony. I do not know if he knew with whom he was being photographed, but Richard Barnbrook was obviously delighted at this unexpected turn of events.

The BNP mayoral candidate as St George on a white charger was a crowd-pleaser, though it was quite a small crowd. When it merged with the over-priced British Food Festival in Trafalgar Square it was in effect swallowed up, so to speak. A jousting competition in St James’s Park with the mayoral candidates as contestants would have been the perfect entertainment on a sunny spring afternoon.
































































These are the ones I took.

Judaism Explained before Easter

A recent decision by Orthodox Jews to bar a child of a mother who is a convert to Judaism from attending a Jewish school because the child was insufficiently Jewish explains exactly why Christ had such a problem with Judaism.

Unfortunately, he paid for his audacity with his life. His followers invented the story of his Resurrection and the "theory" of the Holy Trinity to make Christ's ignominious death less upsetting for those disposed to become Christians.

The Koran explicitly acknowledges Christ for extending monotheism to gentiles. Christ's crime, as seen by the Jewish priests, was in wishing to spread the benefits of monotheism to those not members of the Jewish tribes. It was Christ acting to end the Jewish monopoly on monotheism that resulted in his execution.

Muhammad developed on Christ's theme, ie that faith alone - not race - is sufficient to avail oneself of the benefits of monotheism. Christ must have concluded that, in order for a better world to be created, monotheism must not remain the exclusive preserve of the Jewish tribes. The Islamic concept of "ummah" - a community of Muslims united by a common belief that does not exclude anyone on grounds of race - is an excellent expression of this ideal. This is far more powerful, in the opinion of this atheist, than the racial exclusivity of the Jews and the Trinitarian incoherence of the Christians.

It would seem that Christianity and Islam share the same aim, that of making monotheism more accessible to others not born into the faith, while Orthodox Judaism has a tendency to be exclusive and restrictive. While Judaism requires a typical male convert to undergo circumcision - an eye-wateringly painful operation in the apprehension of the average male - Islam does not require this.

It was really all a dispute about intellectual property and copyright, folks!
