Socialists FIGHT!!

Readers will probably recall the nasty little Trot Gerry Downing who was rightfully given the boot out of the Labour Party earlier this year for amongst other things being more than a little hostile to Jews or Zionists to use modern parlance. Downing is the leader of the tiny Socialist Fight organisation that originated out of the incestuous swamp known as the Workers Revolutionary Party (Proprietor Gerry Healy, thankfully deceased) which was financed by the Libyans and had links with all sorts of nasty regimes such as Saddam Hussein's Baathists and the Ayatollahs in Iran.

When the organisation imploded Downing like so many of the others "suddenly" discovered how corrupt the WRP was and many of them left to form their own groups of which Socialist Fight was just one.

Today it is believed to have no more than three members but manages to keep a website going for their unsavoury views. One of their new recruits Ian Donovan was kicked out of the small group known as the Communist Party of Great Britain who publish the wildly sectarian Weekly Worker which is essential reading for all would be "Trot Spotters".

Donovan became notorious for promoting the theory that there was an "international Jewish capitalist class" a notion not far off the far rights International Zionist conspiracy theory. Too much even for the "anti-Zionist" CPGB.

Downing managed to get his latest rant published in this weeks Weekly Worker. It seems he doesn't like Jon Lansman, head honcho of the pro-Corbyn Momentum Tendency and is out for blood. Downing has managed to wheedle his way into some tiny ginger group that is new to me, but is run by Nick Wrack, brother of FBU  General Secretary Matt wrack;

I’m going to Nick Wrack’s Labour Party Socialist Network meeting this Saturday. It’s at ULU, Malet Street, from 12 to 5pm and looks like it’s the driving force against Lansman and may well defeat him at the February conference.

Nick’s brother, Matt, general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, launched the crucial attack on Lansman and is now chair of the Labour Representation Committee. They are mainly ex-Militant Tendency supporters and it’s rumoured to be the vehicle for welcoming in up to half the membership of the Socialist Party, who are now entering Labour.

We could defeat Lansman and then be faced with a new battle there. But in a better, more leftist place to fight, given the democratising of the structures of Momentum necessary to defeat Lansman.

I’ve joined the LPSN for £1 a month retired fee and expect to be warmly welcomed.

Socialist Fight

Lansman is obviously shaking in his boots at the thought of the massed ranks of Socialist Fight coming after him. Lansman is in a wee bit of trouble with a lot of Momentum supporters for the demotion of the creature known as Jackie Walker another individual who has a problem with Jews Zionists.

Socialist Fight has published a lengthy tract attacking Lansman which you can find here if you have nothing better to do than watch paint dry.

As a reminder of what the 'orrible little man Downing is like, here's his car crash of an interview with Andrew Neill back in March.



As Harry Hill might say...."FIGHT"!........

Pyramids In the Ice

Being generally fed up with the constant sniping in the press TV and social media about Trump, Brexit and Corbyn I have not been alone in looking for and at more esoteric news stories recently. The Daily Express published a story about the "discovery" of ancient Pyramids buried in the Antarctic Ice.

These "structures" are apparently 10 miles inland and have "excited" scientists. Well actually this story is not new and videos about these pyramids have been on You Tube for some time now. In addition there have also been videos about the Alaskan Pyramid and there's another in Bosnia and possibly Spain.






Oh and there may be another deep in the ocean near the Canaries and in a sunken city at the bottom of the sea near Cuba.

Except these stories are rather nonsense peddled by the same types that prattle on about UFO's, alien invasions and extra-dimensional beings at war with the USA. The Express published the video produced by a guy called Tyler on his Secure Team You Tube Channel in which he often wets himself over the possibility of all sorts of things.

Thing is we all know there's gaps in human history and a lot has been lost over the thousands of years since mankind climbed out the trees but really there are limits.....

And that's not all. Take a look at this latest offering from UFOmania whose output of videos of the world of the weird is phenomenal.

Banning the Baked Bean Advert

There are times when I despair at the growth of the whining indulged in by those with nothing better to do. There's always somebody with a bleeding complaint about something that most of us could not give a jot about.

Tiny numbers of people complain about this programme or that one rather than simply turn the channel over(and there are lots to choose from even if the viewer only has Freeview) or (heaven forbid) even turn the television off and read a book.

Now the snowflake brigade has turned it's attention to an advert by Heinz Baked Beans. The BBC reports:

A Heinz beans advert showing how to beat out a song on tin cans has been banned for health and safety reasons.

The advertisement featured young people and adults using empty or full tins to make the rhythm of a song, with the catchline "#Learn the CanSong".

The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that mistakes might be made that could lead to people cutting their hands or fingers.

Kraft Heinz denied that the advertising campaign posed a risk.

And Just how many people complained?

Three viewers complained that the TV advert could encourage unsafe practice and six believed it featured behaviour that could be dangerous for children to copy.
Ridiculous.

The Health & Safety Executive were forced to point out:

"It does look like the term health and safety has been used incorrectly here".

"We would hope the public realise there are absolutely no regulations preventing children from playing with empty sealed tin cans.

"One thing kids never lack is imagination to invent their own games with the simplest of props. Obviously if a child is playing with a jagged edge on a tin container there is a risk of injury, but we would hope parents manage that risk."

Kids of my generation used two tin cans joined with a taut piece of string as a toy phone. Don't remember getting injured, but then we used to climb up trees and got up to all sorts of stuff without doing too much damage to ourselves...

Methinks people worry far too much these days. But really it took just just nine snowflakes to get an advert banned that was watched by millions.

Here's a song about from a time when we didn't worry about such things....

Warning: This post will offend someone, somewhere for something

The recent decision of City University Students Union to "ban" The Daily Mail, Express and Sun is just the latest in a whole series of events that has allowed the easily offended to try and take away freedom of expression and free speech from those with whom they disagree.

Fact is no one forces anyone to read these papers. You actually either have to buy a copy or log on on-line to read their contents so if you don't want to read them you simply don't have to. It's not rocket science.

But don't tell us what we can and can't read.

Then there's the news that Peter Kay made a dodgy joke on Strictly Come Dancing. Judge Rinder didn't seem offended and frankly most gay men I know have a very raucous sense of humour and irony. Didn't stop the Twitter freaks though.

As if that wasn't bad enough Ant & Dec got into trouble for taking the piss out of their Australian hosts. Has anyone ever seen that Monty Python sketch where everyone's called Bruce?

There seem to be so many snowflakes around these days.

All humour is at someone else's expense in one way or another. Some cultures have a self deprecating sense of humour like the Irish and the Jews. They are not alone. Heck I've even seen a German comedian, just the one mind you.....

So dedicated to those of you who have political correctness stuck up your butts here's a totally offensive skit from Peter Cook  & Dudley Moore.

British Muslims seek to increase persecution of the Ahmadiyya

Back in March of this year a local shopkeeper was murdered in a violent religiously motivated sectarian attack.

The BBC reported

A 32-year-old man has admitted murdering a Glasgow shopkeeper in a religiously motivated attack.

Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford in Yorkshire, attacked Asad Shah outside his store in the Shawlands area on 24 March. Mr Shah later died in hospital.

The 40-year-old was stabbed after publishing hundreds of videos about his spiritual beliefs online.

Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns. Ahmed said he had "disrespected" Islam.....

The judge, Lady Rae, said he would face a very lengthy period of imprisonment.

She told Ahmed: "This was a truly despicable crime, motivated, it seems, by your sense of offence at a man's expression of his religious beliefs, which differ from yours.

"Let me be clear - there's no justification whatsoever for what you did."

Reflect on that last sentence. In this country everyone is free to practice any religion or none as they believe. 

The Rubicon is that you do not force your religious views on others through undue coercion or violence.

Disturbingly the Rabwah Times writes:

British Muslim leaders have called on Britain to declare Ahmadis ‘non-Muslim’, the sentiments were expressed at an event held in Luton.

The event which took place at Jamia Islamia Ghosia was attended by Imams, Councillors, and Muslim community leaders from across Britain . The speakers urged the British Government to stop considering Ahmadis as Muslims since they rejected the mainstream Islamic view of ‘KhatmeNabuwat’ or Finality of Prophethood.

Ahmadiyya Muslims who consider their founder to be an Islamic Prophet were declared ‘non-Muslim’ by Pakistan in 1974 and have since faced persecution in the country, which caused many to migrate and settle in Britain.

The clerics demanded that whenever British Government officials, Mayors or Councillors take part in Ahmadiyya events they should do so considering Ahmadis as non-Muslims.

Speaking at the event Qazi Abdul Azizi Chishti said:

“They (Ahmadis) are committing blasphemy by using the name of Islam to propagate their false beliefs among youth and are using the British media to spread their ideology, they (Ahmadis) also tried to stop the Aalmi Tajdare KhatmeNabuwat conference in September”

Chesham Councillor, Muhammad Zafir Bhatti urged the clerics to organize more and more similar events. While Former Luton Councillor Raja Waheed Akbar said: “this event sends a message that the whole community stands together on this issue (of Ahmadis).” The event was also attended by Former Councillor, Raja Zafrullah Khan, Councillor Tahir Khan Malik and Councillor Muhammad Saeed.

The list of bigots involved:

The event speakers included dozens of religious leaders including Ghulam Jilani Alzahri from Wycombe, Syed Ahmed Husain Tirmazi, Mufti Faiz Rasool Naqashbandi, Imam of Dudley Islamic Center Inayat Ali, Islamic Scholar from Birmingham, Barkat Ahmad Chishti, Imam of Jamia Masjid Aston Birmingham, Muhammad Farooq Chishti, Leader of Ahle Sunnat Jamaat Ijaz Ahmad Nayrwi, Luton Councillor Raja Muhammad Aslam Khan, Imam of Jamia Gulshan-e-Baghdad Bedford, Abdul Razzaq and Imam of Leicester’s Jamia Masjid Bilal, Muhammad Hafizur Rahman Chishti.

These Islamic rednecks need to be reminded that such persecution is unacceptable.

Meanwhile Christians are also under threat. 

Please go to: Allah, Kill the despicable Christians

Weird at the Weekend: They're here?

I was preparing to sit down and watch Independence Day: Resurgence when I came across the latest offering from UFOmania, one of the wacky You Tube Channels that brings us the news about Nazi flying saucers in Antarctica along with a giant "Troll" apparently.

It seems the Clintons are having to make a decision about releasing the news that aliens exist to the world media....or not...by January 6th 2017.

Possible? Well if anyone had told me that Donald Trump would have been President of the USA and Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Labour Party a few years back I would have just laughed out loud.

I'm not laughing now, but somehow I just don't think this one's gonna happen. Do you?

Now: One to beam over to the sofa. Where's me remote?

It's the Weekend with Kim Wilde

At last it's Friday night. The weekend is here and it also happens to be Kim Wilde's birthday.

So to celebrate here's an extended version of her 1987 hit which I purchased on video at the time so lets get the party started.
