I don’t know whether to laugh or open a vein….

In the end they will destroy themselves

STRONGEST POSSIBLE CONTENT WARNING! NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Not that I imagine that this is by any means an isolated incident, but it is evidence of something free thinkers have long known to be self-evident, namely that the warped logic of the fanatical political extremist eventually leads him to his own self-destruction.

Thanks to the estimable Charles Crawford for flagging this.

The show trial of the century

Is the truth about to become illegal in the EUSSR?

As for what he says about Moroccans, it is factually correct, but as one of the prosecutors said before the trial: “It is irrelevant whether Wilders’s witnesses might prove Wilders’s observations to be correct, what’s relevant is that his observations are illegal”.

How can the country that produced Spinoza have become so retarded?

I’m fucking speechless.

And a respectful tug of the forelock to The Final Redoubt for this comparison with another show trial from the pages of history.

Welcome, my friends, to the age of diversity fundamentalism.

The Lizard King speaks out against extremists

Slimy bastard

I see Ken the reptile’s on his high horse in The Grauniad this morning, condemning the BBC for giving a platform to the racist homophobe fascist, Nick Griffin. Would that be the same Ken Livingstone who was quite happy to give a platform to the murderous IRA, the racist homophobe fascist Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the anti-Semite would be dictator, Hugo Chávez?

It’s not all bad news though. The UK electoral system, for parliamentary elections at least, is stacked against the BNP. Only an imbecile, the Lib Dems, or a shameless, unprincipled and desperate Labour party, would change it.

Oh, hang on a minute….

All the same, runny nose, anguish, and misery notwithstanding, I did want to share with you my thoughts on something I read the other day about a disturbing trend, specifically the rise of neo-nazism in New Zealand.

Can this be true? Sleepy, bucolic New Zealand? Must the land of Edmund Hillary, Colin Meads and Kiri Te Kanawa henceforth be known as the Land of the Long White Pride?

A few changes may be in the air then….
