#9 Cappy's comments remind me of an occasion staying in a gite just outside of La Rochelle on France's Atlantic coast. Went to stock up at the local supermarket and as is the custom in that area in summer that the fruits of the sea were displayed just outside and was tended by an old woman all dressed in black sitting amongst her wares and not being too ladylike in relation to the positioning of her legs. I mentioned to a passing assistant about the hygienic aspect of her stance and he replied, in perfect English, ''well Monsieur, it keeps the flies off the fish''

Very interesting question put to a multi racial panel on question time last night, And some very dodgy replies to the questionnaire.
Q What are the panels thoughts on the survey results that puts the most popular new born baby boys name in the U.K. At present Mohamed?

David Cameron, Quote. 2014.


Britain must have the right to make European migrants wait four years before receiving welfare or council houses, David Cameron will say, as he warns that he could be prepared to leave the European Union.


In his long-awaited speech on Europe, the Prime Minister will, for the first time, say that he will “rule nothing out” if fellow leaders reject his plans to overhaul the benefits system and suggests that he could be prepared to lead the campaign for a British exit.


Mr Cameron will say that he wants to ban foreign jobseekers claiming benefits and deport them from the UK if they do not find work within six months.


Foreigners will also be banned from sending millions of pounds worth of child benefit payments and tax credits abroad if they do not bring their children with them to the UK.


The Prime Minister will set out a number of “red lines” for his forthcoming renegotiation with Brussels, which he says will require EU treaties to be changed.


Enoch Powell, Quote, 1968.


speech, which was delivered to a Conservative Association meeting in Birmingham on April 20 1968.


The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature.


One is that by the very order of things such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred: at each stage in their onset there is room for doubt and for dispute whether they be real or imaginary. By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing: whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present at the expense of the future.


Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: "If only," they love to think, "if only people wouldn't talk about it, it probably wouldn't happen."


Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical.


At all events, the discussion of future grave but, with effort now, avoidable evils is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it deserve, and not infrequently receive, the curses of those who come after.

A week or two ago I fell into conversation with a constituent, a middle-aged, quite ordinary working man employed in one of our nationalised industries.

After a sentence or two about the weather, he suddenly said: "If I had the money to go, I wouldn't stay in this country." I made some deprecatory reply to the effect that even this government wouldn't last for ever; but he took no notice, and continued: "I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with family. I shan't be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas. In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man."

I can already hear the chorus of execration. How dare I say such a horrible thing? How dare I stir up trouble and inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation?

The answer is that I do not have the right not to do so. Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that his country will not be worth living in for his children.

Lets not fudge with fact, Both speeches are the same, And no racial forlorn meant in any way at all the later predicted the U.K. Loosing its identity. The first confirming it. Both Tory Ministers, Terry

#3,6 & 11,'there's nothing like the sound of the pipes early in the morning, or was that flatuence,'

Ivan, I do declare statements like that could cause my heckles to rise. Luckily I have a sense of humour.....Scotland is but a little nation with a large footprint around the world of which I am extremely proud, so much so that I would never see the need to denigrate another nation within this Sceptred Isle..... We are all "Jock Tamson's bairns" are we not?

#13...from my book 'Gross Britain'

On his way to the press conference General ‘Magic’ Manson completed reading a satirical book written by one of his officers, who wished to remain anonymous. In outline it was about a small island nation which grew to control a global empire. Eventually wars and other rivalries led to the disintegration of the empire. But many of the peoples from the new nations of that empire were encouraged to emigrate to the ‘mother country’.

The original inhabitants were becoming lazy. Males didn’t want to do the lower jobs, which were gladly snapped up by immigrants. The female indigenous population had full equality with the males – some said more than equality. They could choose if and when to have children, and an increasing number chose to have none. The concept of the nuclear family was more and more alien to them. There were much fewer heterosexual marriages, and more and more homosexual ones. Nobody stopped to think that, if Elton John’s father had married his Canadian boyfriend, there would be no Elton John.

The immigrants on the other hand, bred like rabbits, and kept their own religions and customs. Some of those customs contravened the laws of the land. But the indigenous population was afraid to enforce some of the laws, for fear of being labeled racist. Before too long the immigrants and their offspring had most of the jobs which hadn’t been exported to Asian countries, and the indigenous population shrank as the incoming flood continued.

In the year 3080 a new law was passed, stating that each leading regional mosque must set aside a small nature reserve, in which some of the remaining aborigines should be kept, and encouraged to breed. They were now classed as an endangered species.
Magic closed the book with a grin, as a shiver ran up his spine.
