Read the Words Hereward!

These bloody people can’t read, the English Nationalists that is, they simply appear to be completely illiterate! I have today deleted five comments from Hereward the Wake as he/she calls him/herself; these comments were deleted because they were of an insulting nature despite all of the warnings that these idiots have had. The last warning was telling them that comments were to be moderated, and yet friend Hereward the Wake (perhaps he/she should rename him/herself Hereward the Twat) still continues trotting out all of the usual insults and crap that these people spout regularly in their pathetic blogs and forums. These bigoted, racist hypocrites just love takeing the words of others (of course they have none of their own) and twist them to their own perverted purposes. These are the people who want an English Parliament; well all I can say is that if these are the people who are going to be running an English Parliament then God help us I want nothing to do with it, because these are the people who are feeding the religious fanatics the fodder upon which they thrive…

Update:

After giving it a little thought today I have decided to give you a flavour of the type of pea-brained, insignificant, racist, bigoted, hypocritical moron that wants to be running an English Parliament:-

Still typing your shite bondjoke? Has anyone noticed yet? Ha! ha! I doubt it. Still, keep trying. You never know you might get the audience you crave one day. Toodle pip you insignificant dirtbag.

English grand committee ha! ha! Our Parliament back nto long after you cunt! Stick that in yer fuckin’ arse. Yeeeehawwwww we’re taking back what’s ours bit by bit and there aint nothing you can do to stop us. Read it and weep yer twat.

This is just a very small sample of the insulting crap, found in the comments this morning, that those like friend - and I use the word sarcastically here - Hereward resort to when they can’t think of a good argument with which they can enter into a reasoned debate. Their argument is ALWAYS the same “I’m right and you are wrong”; and, as you can see, when against the wall they resort to good old Anglo saxon invective. Although to be fair Hereward the Pea-brain did use a term that I think I would wear as a badge of honour when he brands me a “liberal internationalist”, which I think suits my outlook on the world quite well.

He also pulls me up for my use of language:-

I think you’ll find that “phallacy” is actually spelt fallacy; then again, i’m not surprised that an obviously frustrated homosexualist like yourself would make such a fraudian slip! Know what I mean you pole smoker?

when he doesn’t even have the intelligence to recognise the fact that I am playing with words deliberately here, pathetic really. As for being a “frustrated homosexualist”, well this pea-brained, bigoted, hypocritical moron doesn’t even know me (and I certainly have no desire to “know” him); although maybe he is simply transferring his own frustrated sexuality onto those he wishes to attack. I think that he was trying to point out that I had made a Freudian slip, but I think that his own term “fraudian slip” is better by a country mile, as it is just so descriptive of these bloody frauds!

Conclusion:

What is the point of entering into a war of words with the unarmed!

Fallen from the Gutter into the Sewer…

I had thought of The Sun as being pretty much equal in terms of the gutter press, but having read this piece of unmitigated shite this morning it strikes me that The Sun no longer resides in the gutter, but has fallen head first into the sewer, if not the cesspit, that is nationalistic, jingoistic journalism. Thanks BondWoman for bringing my attention to Mark Mardell’s thoughts on this piece of journalistic crap, pointedly entitled “A Done Deal” in which he says this:-

The Sun breathes fire in today’s editorial and threatens to keep up its campaign until the next general election. As it warns that Britain’s existence as an independent sovereign state has been extinguished, I presume it will abandon what it must believe has become the worthless charade of covering Westminster politics, and I look forward to welcoming its political staff as they are all shipped out to Brussels to report on the real action.

The Sun’s editorial, if that is what it can be called is just the sort of crap that attracts the more undesirable elements of the Nationalists in its promotion of the fear of the other; its constant drip, drip, drip of we don’t want anyone who is not one of us here, we don’t want to be part of a wider Europe etc. etc.. “The Sun Says” has become the most unacceptable face of editorial pages in recent years, and to name it “The Sun Says” is, in my humble opinion, quite, quite laughable; it should be renamed “Rupert Murdoch Says”!

As I pointed out in a previous post:-

…my message is: forget all of the petty squabbling, who is slagging off who etc. etc., it is time everyone got their acts together and started pulling in the same direction rather than in a dozen different directions. Instead of sitting around and whingeing about the stupid things that define our lives, get out there and do something about the important things that SHOULD define our lives… …it is this sort of rubbish that attracts the racists, bigots, and hypocrites that want to withdraw from the wider world, the sort of people who give the fanatics the fodder with which they feed their hatred. It is this sort of people who turn Nationalism into Insularity.

Woolly Discrimination?

Sometimes one just has to laugh, and this is simply one of those occasions, I give you this:-

For those interested I found this here, and for those who can’t be bothered to follow the link, this is the text:-

Don’t let your sheep wonder across the border if you’re in southern Scotland… anyone else heard that Scottish farmers are being compensated if they cull on welfare grounds, but farmers in exactly the same position in Cumbria are having to feed winter stocks to all the lambs and cast ewes that should have been shunted off to market by now.

So now even English sheep are discriminated against…

Now, once one has stopped laughing, the question that comes to mind is, just what planet are these people on?

Nationalism = Insularity?

The Nationalists, particularly the English Nationalists, seem to have a thing about people talking about Britishness; this is something that I find quite hard to understand, especially given what Great Britain has given the world, and still has to give. One would have thought that it would make people proud to say that they are British, but no it seems that the nationalists are hell bent on rejecting this identity in favour of a more closed and insular identity; and I have to say that I find this quite weird. I am Cornish, not a Cornish Nationalist, but nonetheless Cornish, it is what I am and I see that identity as being a part of the wider identity of being British, which in turn is part of the wider identity of being European. My sense of identity is far from insular, and gives me no sense of a fear of the other (that is those who are different, either culturally or ethnically); in fact I treat people from other cultures and ethnic groups with respect and welcome what they have to offer in terms of knowledge etc.. As far as I can see this fear of the term British is sponsored, and reinforced, by the gutter press (The Sun, The Mail, The Express etc. etc.) and is lapped up by those readers who never bother to stop and think about what they read, and just take it for granted that if it is in the paper then it must be so. All this does is to promote a much narrower, more insular sense of identity; a sense of identity which shuns the different, which excludes “the other”, such people want only those who are “like us”, those who think and act like themselves. This is one of the many reasons that I dislike nationalism of any kind because this kind of nationalist identity leads us in only one direction, that of insularity.

When we should be engaging with the wider world, and with Europe in particular, to give a lead on such things as climate change, there are those who would close our borders, who would withdraw us from such wider engagement with the world, who would basically have us bury our heads in the sand, and who would change it from “Great Britain” to “Britain”, losing the greatness altogether. If the “big” problems, such as climate change are going to be tackled then we have to be in there at the forefront, leading by example; leading being the operative word. It is no good hiding behind the sofa, such problems are NOT going to go away, they are here and here to stay unless something is done, and done soon; we do not have the luxury of time, a couple of decades at most before the situation becomes irreversible. A couple of decades, twenty years, a very short time indeed; and we don’t even have the luxury of using this time, if we are going to make changes they have to start being made RIGHT NOW!

So my message is: forget all of the petty squabbling, who is slagging off who etc. etc., it is time everyone got their acts together and started pulling in the same direction rather than in a dozen different directions. Instead of sitting around and whingeing about the stupid things that define our lives, get out there and do something about the important things that SHOULD define our lives… This is a prime example of the STUPID things that people are letting define who they are; it is this sort of rubbish that attracts the racist’s. bigots, and hypocrites that want to withdraw from the wider world, the sort of people who give the fanatics the fodder with which they feed their hatred. It is this sort of people who turn Nationalism into Insularity. I am not going to comment on this piece because I actually think that there are far more important issues in the world than this bit of nationalist nonsense!
