MSM Shock

For those of us who have been using MSM this articles comes a shock


MSM Doesn't Help Arthritis Roger MasonDecember 29th, 2009~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MSM (methyl sulfonylmethane) is a very popular and widely sold arthritis and inflammation supplement that simply doesn't work. It just won't go away despite its total lack of effectiveness. This hoax started with the TV and movie actor James Coburn, who claimed MSM magically, cured his arthritis. Well, poor old James died and was still as crippled as ever. Chondroitin is another popular and widely sold hoax. There are published clinical studies proving chondroitin is not absorbed by our intestines. It must be injected to be of value. Unfortunately, medical doctors are too backward to offer chondroitin injections.
MSM is related to DMSO, or dimethylsulfoxide, both having sulfur and methyl groups. MSM is one third sulfur, but we just aren't sulfur deficient at all. In a way, MSM is an oral form of DMSO. In THEORY all this sounds great, but on closer inspection nothing sounds very good at all. DMSO applied topically in large amounts will temporarily lessen inflammatory pain in most people. This is very temporary, superficial, and symptomatic relief. This is NOT a natural or holistic practice whatsoever. The problem is that DMSO is 99% absorbed into the blood, and you don't want all that DMSO in your blood. DMSO is therefore not a safe treatment for arthritis or for pain relief. Don't use it for such. DMSO is going for delivering hormones using one drop.
There has never been one valid published study in all these years to show proof MSM has any value whatsoever. Not one. In the entire world not one single study. If MSM had real benefits there would be published clinical studies using real people. There aren't. Why? Because it does not work, never did work, and never will work. That's why.
There is the toxicity issue to consider as well. The suggested dose is at least 1,000 mg a day of MSM long term. Many people take much more than this. Taking large amounts of such a poorly understood supplement is a very bad idea. You can expect negative side effects that are as yet undiscovered. Overdosing yourself on MSM will backfire on you.
You cannot treat arthritis or rheumatism with Magic Supplements....you can't treat any disease or condition with Magic Supplements. If you want to know how to cure your arthritis please read Treating Bone and Joint Problems Naturally in our free library. Why do Americans have more arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis and other bone and joint problems than anyone else in the world? Did your know 95% of Americans over the age of 65 have some kind of arthritic condition? We're the richest country in the world. We have the more doctors than anyone else. We take more prescription drugs than anyone. Basically it is due to our poor diets. Eating 42% fats, twice the food we need, twice the protein we need, 160 pounds of various sugars, refined grains, very few green and yellow vegetables, and all those Nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants) is the basic reason. Go anywhere in rural Asia, and you'll see far less arthritis, osteoporosis, and other bone and joint problems that are so epidemic in America.
It is literally harder to cure arthritis than it is to cure the various types of cancer. It takes years to rebuild and repair bone and cartilage, and we lose the ability to do this as we age. Over the age of 60 it is more difficult for us to rebuild new bone and cartilage even if we eat well, exercise, and have a healthy lifestyle.
Yes, there are scientifically proven supplements to help you, but they are not going to do much if you don't eat well, exercise, and take care of your health in general. Flax oil, glucosamine, All Your Minerals® (with 20 minerals in the amounts you need), and vitamin D all can have value.
Hormones are critical as well. Testosterone, DHEA, and progesterone (not estrogens) are the bone building hormones. In women estriol is also a bone building hormone. If you are low in these, your joints will simply not be able to repair and rebuild themselves.
Curing all bone and joint problems (including gums and teeth) is not easy. This takes a total program of diet and lifestyle. The older you get the more difficult it is. Please go read Treating Bone and Joint Problems Naturally in our free library.

Cricket

Listening to Radio 4 this morning an article came on about Cricket which according to the Cricket Authorities has been a great success this year. With a lot more television coverage and lot more at that peak time between 6pm – 7pm, they also went on to say that there has been a lot more funding for grass roots cricket which has resulted in a 25% increase in participation. I am pleased to hear this because Cricket is one of those sports that are more then just a game; it shows that the traditional English way of life is not being forgotten and an invention like Football and Rugby that has been given to the World. Not many countries can boast such a thing. My only criticism is that local Cricketers tell me a different story one of where Clubs are closing and those in existence are struggling to maintain members. If the first part is true I would like to know there recipe for success because many other sports and my own Judo are struggling in spite of the Olympic Games.

Happy New Year but remember on January 1st 2010 you could look like this

Impossible to get an report in kent On Sunday

I recently had a moan on about the East Kent Gazette being being bias but we do at least get some Martial Arts coverage from them for our club. That can not be said of the Kent on Sunday/Saturday this the Free Paper from the KOS Group I get my copy via the Internet and it actually comes up like a newspaper and you read like a newspaper turning pages etc but to claim it is a County newspaper is a joke it concentrates on the Major towns of Maidstone, Medway and Canterbury to get a letter published on there letter page is nearly impossible unless you have some sort of connection with the paper and to get a report on their Sports Section is impossible even World medals do not get a mention. With regard to advertising I surprised they get any, I recently tried ton advertise a vacant Flat, I do not want any immigrants in my flats only British Passport Holders for many sound reasons all them have nothing to with race. I know that newspapers will not print Flats only For British Subjects (Why I do not know) so now I print Proof of ID i.e. British Passport most newspapers accept this, NOT the Kent on Sunday they say they are frightened of being sued! for what so much for our campaigning press. So carry on reading the paper it is free after all but never pay for it

COLD

It is been reported that this week has been the coldest pre Christmas Weather for 20 years.
Climate Change Fanatics tell us that the World Temperature is rising by 4%

AM I missing Something?

Benefit Cheats

This week I reported to SBC housing benefit department a tenant of mine, who was receiving housing benefit, had not paid his rent for two months and had absconded. I was told by the housing department that was my problem not theirs, I explained I was well aware of that but wished to report the case. Once again I was told there was nothing they can do, I tried to explain that the man was obtaining money under false pretences and in fact was making a fraudulent claim. Are we to assume that these type of people, who would rather spend their housing benefit in a Pub rather then on paying their rent? Are allowed to continue abusing the system and costing us Council Tax payers money?

While on the subject of abuse a friend of mine has a shop selling white goods i.e. Fridges etc on many occasions Charitable Organisations and Councils ask him to supply and deliver goods to people who are in particular hardship paid for by them . On many occasions the residents have asked for the cooker goods etc not to be fitted, or to be left in their packing case, only to have the same item offered for sale a day later. He now fits all items, he has reported these individuals to the charities and the council but just gets a shrug of the shoulder as is told “sometimes these things happen” they are never prosecuted WHY?

Why it is those who lie, cheat, steal etc are always in a win win situation. What has happened to this country in the last 10 years.

Right Wing Martin

I am told I am right wing what ever that means our local Newspaper is East Kent Gazette has a left wing bias in its editorial staff that it most probably why I have very few letters printed. I used to be a frequent contributor to the EKG until the present government started to tumble in the polls. The point I am making is the only true freedom of speech is though the Internet and through blogs so keep reading.
When my articles were printed I was often stopped in the street and congratulated because I writ en what they wanted to say but did not have the courage or the knowledge to put over their message.

Those who can remember the last Editor of the EKG John Rogers (Now there was a fair man) I can report he is doing well, managed by his marvelous wife Marleen

Christmas Fun

Reindeer Fact

REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game , while both male and female reindeer grow antlers
in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.
Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

To Licensing Officer

Dear Sir

I have just received a letter entitled “Licensing Policy Review Questionnaire” attached to this letter was a Equalities Monitoring Form before I return these documents I would like answers to the following questions:

1) What Equalities monitoring got to do with the Licensing Policy Review? none of the questions in the document have any relevance to Equalities
2) Although I can understand your request to be informed of people impairments, why do you need to know a person Sexual preference, ethnic group or Religion? Or is there a move afoot by the Council to have a pubs for certain ethnic groups, pubs for Homosexuals etc
3) Why do you use correct terminology for Heterosexuals and Bisexuals yet use a slang word for homosexuals
4) What is a traveller? You use the Term English Gypsy which can be seen as an ethnic group, then you use the term Traveller can I presume by this you mean anyone who travels? If so why do they need a separate category
5) You list different religions but why Muslim? Their religion forbids them to drink alcohol so do you think they would to be a licensee
6) Finally my Grandfather was Irish, my father English, my mother German as you have listed the White section as British, Irish, European, My mother came from the area that conquered the Brits after the Romans i.e. Angles, Saxons, Jutes as my Grandfather was from Ireland i.e. a Celt so I presume I am a Saxon/Celt

I await your reply to my various questions.

Yours Faithfully

Coastal Communities to be invigorated

Gordon Henderson has welcomed a new action plan from Conservatives to reinvigorate coastal communities – including the Isle of Sheppey. The plan, entitled ‘No longer the end of the line’, outlines how Conservatives intend to end the sidelining of seaside towns under the current Government.

The Isle of Sheppey, like a majority of coastal communities across Britain, has lower levels of employment, higher levels of benefit claimants, poorer health outcomes and worse transport links than comparable inland towns. The policy proposals in the comprehensive action plan include:

· Giving local councils and the police new powers to restrict the large number of late licenses and tackle the alcohol-fuelled anti-social behaviour that blights many coastal towns.

· Introducing new tax breaks for local firms - including local business rate discounts, lower corporation tax on small firms, and waiving National Insurance on new firms which create jobs.

· Cancelling Labour’s council tax revaluation which would charge residents higher council tax for having sea views.

· Creating a ‘Community Right to Buy’ to allow local groups to take over and save threatened community assets and buildings.

· Allowing privately owned, listed seaside-heritage attractions, such as piers, to apply for Lottery funding.

Gordon said:

“Unfortunately, the current Government has ignored and marginalised coastal communities like Sheppey and this must change. I am really pleased about this Tory action plan because it shows that David Cameron recognises the problems that we face and seems determined to do something to help us,

“It is important that coastal towns are not just places for the occasional visit to the seaside, but are also successful and attractive places in which to live and work.

“I very much hope that a Conservative Government will ensure that our coastal towns are no longer ‘the end of the line’.”

Is Global Warming a Con

GLOBAL WARMING CON
Do I think that Global warming is totally down to human beings NO
I also think is some what arrogant of Man Kind to think they can control Nature and God

Yet to some degree I agree with what the Global Warming Fanatics say, Yes we should get rid of pollution, Yes we should save energy, Yes we should recycle, Yes we should conserve our planets resources but all these things just make good sense and we should not be conned into being forced to believe it is to do with Global Warming.

Why do I not believe in Humans being totally responsible for Global warming quite simply it is because of the people who are advocating it?
1) Politicians: Over the last couple of years , more then any other year we have seen how un trust worthy and how much they bend the truth and liar.
2) Scientists: they have lied about some of the facts just because it ruins there arguments
3) Green Peace and other Lobbyists: They are so blinkered they only want to see what they want to see
4) Al Gore: His film has been proved to be faulty
We keep being told that the World has only a short time before Armageddon but all I see is loads of those Wind farm eye sores which are inefficient, What I do see is that 50, 000 turned up at the Climate Conference how much Carbon did they use on their travels just a load of hypocrites.

When I see major events like the Olympics, World Cup and these massive great Pop Concerts being cancelled, when I see Politicians and their advisors hopping all over the World for Jollies being stopped, When I see street lighting going out 11pm shops only opening 9 till 5 to save energy, when I see overseas holiday banned and restricted use of motorised vehicles then I will say NOW WE ARE DOING SOMETHING but none of these will happen and I hope they won’t.
What I am trying to say is ARE WE REALY SERIOUS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING or is it just a way to raise our taxes and make certain people look like saints

A Soldiers Christmas Poem

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE,
MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.


I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY,
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO,
IN THIS HOME, DID LIVE.




I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.




NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES,
OF A FAR DISTANT LAND.





WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT,
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.




FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.




THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR,
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.




THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED,
AN GREAT BRITISH SOLDIER.




WAS THIS THE HERO,
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?



I REALIZED THE FAMILIES,
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS,
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.




SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE,
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.




THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM,
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.



I COULDN'T HELP WONDER,
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE,
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.




THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT,
A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES,
AND STARTED TO CRY.




THE SOLDIER AWAKENED,
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;






I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."






THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.





I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL,
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED,
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.






I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE,
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOUR,
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.







THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."








ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."


This poem was written by a soldier stationed overseas. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable

Soldiers Tale

A patrol was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi insurgent, badly injured and unconscious.On the opposite side of the road was a British soldier in a similar but less serious state. The soldier was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the platoon leader asked the injured soldier what had happened.The soldier reported, "I was moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road.I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Gordon Brown is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing half-blind scotsman, and Lord Mandelson is a cross-dressing idiot.So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian.He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Harriet Harman!""And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a bus hit us."

UKIP a Waste

Most people know my feelings about the European Union so it came as a shock when I saw UKIP (A party I have voted for in European Elections) have fielded a candidate in the Sittingbourne and Sheppey Constituency when we have the most EU Realist MEP in the whole of the Conservative party in Daniel Hannan MEP and the most realist Conservative Candidate for Westminster in Gordon Henderson. Gordon is the only Conservative Candidate to sign up to “Better off out OF Europe Campaign” he has also pledged to fight if elected for a Referendum to see if the UK should stay in the EU. Yet UKIP still want to contest the seat the other Pro EU Parties i.e. Labour and LibDems must be laughing all the way to the Polling station because the only vote UKIP will get are potential Conservative voters. UKIP have no hope of getting elected in a first past the post system, so if you really believe in the UK leaving the EU Mr UKIP withdraw.

This Guy is a man after my own heart

The Editor
East Kent Gazette/Sheppey Gazette (via email)

Dear Madam

In his letter in this week’s Gazette Barry Pearson asks me to let him know what my policies are. As I have said before I will spell out fully my policies when Gordon Brown finally summons up the courage to call a General Election.

Meanwhile I am more than happy to set out the type of things in which I believe, for instance:

· I believe that pensioners deserve a higher basic state pension, which is why I support the linking of pensions to wage inflation, rather than prices.

· I want to ensure that local people have access to a NHS dentist.

· I will work closely with our local businesses to help protect jobs.

· I will campaign for a crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

· I support our local grammar schools, but believe that we are lucky enough to have some of the best non-selective secondary schools in the county.

· I believe that planning laws should be reviewed to ensure that settled and travelling communities are treated in exactly the same way.

· I would like to see a referendum held on Britain’s continued membership of the EU.

· I will campaign for controlled immigration and better border controls.

· I want to see a reduction in the amount of political correctness that bedevils our society.

Mr Pearson boasts that Labour’s policies include free bus passes for the elderly, free TV licences for the over-75’s and the minimum wage. Since these are all policies that David Cameron has promised to retain, it doesn’t seem that Labour is putting forward much of an election manifesto!

Yours sincerely

Gordon Henderson

Swiss Aren't the Intolerant Ones

I copied this article from The Mail on Sunday and totally agree with Peter Hitchins. Islam is not just a religion it is a life style with its own set of Laws which is totally different from the English Way if there is to be a change I at least should have a say in it. Living in harmony with Islam would be a lot easier if the Government done their job and arrested and imprisoned those who demonstrate advocating the death of NON Muslims


Swiss aren’t the intolerant ones
Nobody ever asked us if we wanted a country full of big mosques, asserting Islam’s confidence in our cities. So that is what we have. But they asked the Swiss and they said ‘no thank you’. Is this bigotry? I don’t think so.
Where Islam is in power, it restricts the building and repairing of Christian churches, the ringing of bells and the holding of processions. Christians are second-class citizens. Western liberal prattle about Islamic ‘tolerance’ is based on ignorance.
The Muslim threat to this country does not come from a few swivel-eyed, blowhard preachers. It comes from our own willingness to drive Christianity out of schools, government and broadcasting, and our feeble refusal to require migrants and their descendants to respect and accept our culture and faith.
We could be well on the way to becoming a Muslim country by the end of this century. The noisy Left-wing atheists will miss the Church of England, once it is replaced by the Mosque of England.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1233489/PETER-HITCHENS-If-The-Committee-Unintended-Consequences-able-grill-Blair.html#ixzz0YtfVQdXn

A Christmas Poem or is Christmas a dirty word

Twas the month before Christmas*


*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*See the PC Police had taken away,*


*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*

*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*


*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*


* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*


*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*


*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*


*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree '*

*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

not Happy Holiday !*

Please, all Christians join together and

wish everyone you meet during the

holidays a

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

Real Global Warming

I stole this from Peter Hitchins Column it is about " The Real Global Warming Disaster" a new book by Christopher Booker

What you will find out is this. That much of what passes for accepted truth is not. Facts have been ruthlessly twisted, suppressed or invented. Scientists are greatly divided on the subject.
Many people – and bodies – presented as experts actually have little or no knowledge of the science involved. Gullible politicians and gullible media men and women have repeatedly fallen for it.
Hucksters, profiteers, world-government fanatics and, of course, the EU (always searching for an excuse to increase its power) have latched on to it.
Huge public subsidies, including the carbon-trading racket and the tragicomic building of hideous, worse-than-useless windfarms, now depend upon it.
But take, just for example, the famous picture of polar bears on a melting ice-floe, supposedly doomed victims of global warming.
The USA’s ex-Vice President, the propagandist Al Gore, got audiences going ‘Aaah!’ by saying the bears had ‘nowhere else to go’. Really? The picture was taken in August, when the Alaskan ice always melts. The polar bears were fine. Think about it.
They can swim and they weren’t far from land. Recent studies show that most polar bear populations are rising.
The world was warmer than it is now in the early Middle Ages, long before industrial activity increased CO2 output, a fact that the warming fanatics have worked very hard to obscure.
Oh, and the most important greenhouse gas by far is not CO2 but water vapour, which is not influenced by human activity at all.
Meanwhile, an English court of law (despite buying the CO2 argument) has identified nine significant errors of fact in Gore’s Oscar-winning alarmist film An Inconvenient Truth, ludicrously being inflicted on children in British schools.
Among these: sea levels are not going to rise by 20ft any time soon; there’s no evidence that atolls in the Pacific have been evacuated because of rising waters; the Gulf Stream is not going to shut down; the drying-up of Lake Chad, the shrinking of snow on Mount Kilimanjaro and Hurricane Katrina were none of them caused by global warming; the only polar bears that have drowned were four that died in a storm.
Booker also reminds us that even if all the measures demanded by the warming zealots were put into action, according to their own calculations this would only delay the effects they fear by six years.
In my experience, people who employ alarmism, and who turn with rage on their critics, do so because they lack confidence in their case. Watch their behaviour at the coming Copenhagen climate conference, a festival of panic and exaggerated woe.
This particular frenzy, if not checked, could end by bankrupting the West and leaving us sitting in the cold and the dark whistling for a wind to power our dead computers – while China and India surge on to growth and prosperity because they have had the sense to ignore the whole stupid thing.* The Real Global Warming Disaster, by Christopher Booker, Continuum Books, £16.99.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1231694/The-inconvenient-truths-Mr-Gore-fanatical-friends-DIDNT-tell-climate-change.html#ixzz0YHQlt3OV

Stop eating Meat and continue destroying the Rain Forest

Can you believe this story I found in the Newspaper

'Eat fewer sausages to save the planet from global warming', Britons warned

By Daniel Martin Last updated at 7:36 AM on 26th November 2009

Cutting a sausage a day from the average British diet is necessary to save the planet, scientists claim.
Their controversial report, which partly blames meat-eaters for climate change, was backed by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn's department last night.
The scientists called for a 30 per cent reduction in the number of farm animals bred for meat to prevent rising temperatures and rising sea levels.
Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of global emissions of carbon dioxide the report pointed out The average meat intake in men is 970g a week and in women 550g a week. A 30 per cent reduction in men is equivalent to seven 40g sausages, two 130g chicken breasts, four 70g lamb chops or 12 bacon rashers of 25g.
Such a reduction would also bring significant health benefits, the scientists said, by reducing premature deaths from heart disease in Britain by 17 per cent - equivalent to 18,000 lives a year.

Yet one of the worst man made disasters is the destruction of the Rain Forest and what are planting in its place SOYA to satisfy those who do not want to eat meat

Are You Labour or Conservative?

Labour v ConservativeI asked my friend's daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be a Labour MP some day. Both of her parents, Labour Party supporters, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were an MP what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed, and said, "Welcome to the Labour Party!""Wow...what a worthy goal!" I told her. I continued, "But you don't have to wait until you're a Labour MP to do that. You can come over to my house, mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my patio, and I'll pay you £50. Then I'll take you over to Tesco’s where the homeless guy hangs around. You can give him the £50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the £50?"I smiled and said, "Welcome to the Conservative Party."

England Today

Had the following link sent to me. What are your thoughts on this question

http://www.sittingbourne.org/England today.pdf

Global warming Man Made I am not convinced

I am still not convinced that Man is to blame for Global warming but what I do know it is an excuse to tax the ordanary man and impose restrictions on the ordanary man. Yet Government will fly all over the World to discuss Global Warming and how we can reduce our Carbon Foot Print. YET how much Carbon will they be using when they attend this meeting? How many members of their Staff will they take with them? How many miles have they travelled, How many miles, will the food these people and their entourage consume, travel. I could go on in these days of International Communication you would have thought TV Conference meetings could be arranged where everyone could stop at Home.

The Doom and Gloom Merchants used by Governments who tell us that we only have a few years to survive are good for the excuse to higher taxes and increase their own wages but if things are that bad why are events Like the "World Cup", Olympic Games", Massive Pop Festivals still allowed what msut the Global footprint be on these events. Untill something like this happens I will always have my doubts

Ode to Freedom or was it

As someone who had a German Mother who he loved dearly and some one who is proud of his German Heritage 2009 is quite an important year for 20 years ago the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was re united. To celebrate this event they had a concert where Beethoven “Ode to Joy” was played but was renamed “Ode to Freedom” this piece is my favourite piece of music. The celebration was seeing the collapse of communism with a hope for freedoms and democracy, no more One party state, No more un elected officials dictating your life, no more un elected Commissariats, no more un elected Presidents and best of all no more will your country be governed by Corporate Super State I.e. the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) This tune was to signify all that.
So it seems ironic that the same tune is now being used by the European Union as their Anthem, the EU where they have unelected officials dictating your life, unelected Commissioners, unelected President and countries being run by a corporate Super state the EU.
I wonder if those who celebrated the demise of East Germany and all it stood for would think that 20 years later they would live in a slightly more benevolent system which they just escaped from.

Australians have a way with words

Why We Like Australians.......

T. B. Bechtel, a City Councilor from Newcastle, Australia, was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists.

His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience.

HIS STATEMENT: "If hooking up one rag head terrorist prisoner's testicles to a car battery to get the truth out of the lying little camel shagger will save just one Australian life, then I have only three things to say, Red is positive, Black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet."

America as the last man standing

I hope a lot of this is unfounded Welcome your veiw

Another Persons View........................


This is hard for anyone to understand and comprehend....
Many of us have memories of Europe as we remember it 20 + years ago....
Will we understand this same change in the US ?

'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe ?'Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.
The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe .
Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing.You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it.. This goes for the police as well.
It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe .
These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.
Clearly, the signal is: we rule.Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims. (Hard to believe)Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
(Discrimination on the level of absurdity) (Seen in Saudia Arabia in 1974)In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .
I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'.
And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus.
I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza.
If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.
The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything.
So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II.. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.
Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem . Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts.
My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

ENGLAND MY ENGLAND

England my England

Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend

Your days are numbered, being brought to an end

To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine

But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.


The French and the Germans may call themselves such

So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch

You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane

But don't say you're English ever again.


At Broadcasting House the word is taboo

In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too

Even schools are affected. Staff do as they're told

They must not teach children about England of old.


Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw

The pupils don't learn about them anymore

How about Agincourt, Hastings , Arnhem or Mons ?

When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.


We are not Europeans, how can we be?

Europe is miles away, over the sea

We're the English from England , let's all be proud

Stand up and be counted - Shout it out loud!


Let's tell our Government and Brussels too

We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue

Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack

Let the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!

The Uncomfortable Definition of an Infidel....

This was sent me by email:







>> The Uncomfortable Definition of an Infidel....>>>

Allah or Jesus Christ?

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the UK> .

>> Last month I attended my annual training session for maintaining my security clearance in the prison service.There was a presentation by three speakers from the Roman Catholic,Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say about the basics of Islam, complete with video. After the presentations, question time. I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a Holy War against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statement and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!' I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not a follower of Allah, so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?' The expression on his face changed from one of authority to that of 'a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the biscuit tin.' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill Muslims, or the Archbishop of Canterbury ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!' The Imam was speechless! I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because He will take me to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?' You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam remained speechless. Needless to say, the organizers of the Diversification' seminar were not happy with this way of exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. Within twenty years, i.....e.. 2029, there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.K. To elect a government of their choice, complete with Sharia law Everyone in the U.K. Should be required to read this, but with the current political paralysis, tolerant justice system, liberal media and p.c. Madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised..... Please pass this on to all your e-mail contacts.

Do Not Forget our Soldiers

Recieved this via email

It’s Remembrance Sunday this weekend so please read the stuff below. These lads are the best we've got, good luck to all of them.

They are doing their bit.....please do yours by reading this and forwarding it to someone else:
The average British soldier is 19 years old…..he is a short haired, well built lad who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears and just old enough to buy a round of drinks but old enough to die for his country – and for you. He’s not particularly keen on hard work but he’d rather be grafting in Afghanistan than unemployed in the UK . He recently left comprehensive school where he was probably an average student, played some form of sport, drove a ten year old rust bucket, and knew a girl that either broke up with him when he left, or swore to be waiting when he returns home. He moves easily to rock and roll or hip-hop or to the rattle of a 7.62mm machine gun.

He is about a stone lighter than when he left home because he is working or fighting from dawn to dusk and well beyond. He has trouble spelling, so letter writing is a pain for him, but he can strip a rifle in 25 seconds and reassemble it in the dark. He can recite every detail of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either effectively if he has to. He digs trenches and toilets without the aid of machines and can apply first aid like a professional paramedic. He can march until he is told to stop, or stay dead still until he is told to move.

He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation but he is not without a rebellious spirit or a sense of personal dignity. He is confidently self-sufficient. He has two sets of uniform with him: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his water bottle full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never forgets to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes and fix his own hurts. If you are thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food is your food. He'll even share his life-saving ammunition with you in the heat of a firefight if you run low.

He has learned to use his hands like weapons and regards his weapon as an extension of his own hands. He can save your life or he can take it, because that is his job - it's what a soldier does. He often works twice as long and hard as a civilian, draw half the pay and have nowhere to spend it, and can still find black ironic humour in it all. There's an old saying in the British Army: 'If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined!'

He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and he is unashamed to show it or admit it. He feels every bugle note of the 'Last Post' or 'Sunset' vibrate through his body while standing rigidly to attention. He's not afraid to 'Bollock' anyone who shows disrespect when the Regimental Colours are on display or the National Anthem is played; yet in an odd twist, he would defend anyone's right to be an individual. Just as with generations of young people before him, he is paying the price for our freedom. Clean shaven and baby faced he may be, but be prepared to defend yourself if you treat him like a kid.

He is the latest in a long thin line of British Fighting Men that have kept this country free for hundreds of years. He asks for nothing from us except our respect, friendship and understanding. We may not like what he does, but sometimes he doesn't like it either - he just has it to do.. Remember him always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood. And now we even have brave young women putting themselves in harm's way, doing their part in this tradition of going to war when our nation's politicians call on us to do so.

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and if you are so inclined, feel free to say a prayer for our troops in the trouble spots of the world.

Swale Celebration

Swale a Celebration of Culture
On Saturday I and my Judo Club were invited to give a demonstration of Judo, Sambo and CombatSombo. I expected we were invited because these two Grappling Disciplines originated from Japan and Russia different Cultures to our own. Yet as I mentioned in my commentary there has been Jacket wrestling in England since the 1400’s and that was Cornish Wrestling also we Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling (also known as back hang) I once wrote an article suggesting the founder of Judo Jigaro Kano saw Cornish Wrestling when the sailors visited Japan and maybe this was his inspiration for Judo.
This celebration involved lots of Dancing from India, singing from people of African origin both of which I enjoy and I know our Judo kids did because they joined, there many other cultures represented sadly no English Traditions was on display something quite common at these events. I did ask why Morris Dancers were not included, fair do to the organiser who said it was oversight at least she was honest, I am not sure what these Function are supposed to do? Band s parading through the town was great a lot of people have commented what a marvellous display and this helped people value their cultures but the Town Hall I do not believed that worked, although there were a lot of people present it seemed all were involved in some way or other with the show. As I said our own Club Members joined in and enjoyed themselves but it was disappointing to when it was our turn to go on the hall emptied and one guy half way through our demo started tuning his guitar over the speakers I am not sure whether he was rude or just bored but it was off putting. I have run enough Judo, Sambo events to know that no matter how many posters you put out only those connected with what we are doing turn up and sorry to say the same was of this event at the Town.
After saying all that I enjoyed my time there and enjoyed the enthusiasm, congratulation to the organiser for all the hard work they put in, may be next year do it in the high street with a Marquee and stage next to the Nat West and maybe include Irish and Scottish Dancers although we must respect the culture of different nations we must not forget the indigenous (British) people of these Islands who made this country the place to settle. Great day not to happy though if it was paid for out of my Council Taxes.

Stolen Tractor in Poland

I was recently talking to friend who has contacts with members of the farming world and he told me a couple of things
1) It seems that Farmers in the Swale area are having their equipment stolen and when one went on the Internet he found his Tractor being offered on EBay in Poland
2) Sheep rustling is become very popular but not with flocks of sheep but individual ones it seems certain groups of people no longer wish to buy a sheep for their spit bar b q. Brings a new meaning to Pick your Own
3) It also seems that our foreign workforce are not quite the saints they are betrayed out to be especially when it comes to picking fruit which are often bruised with a lot of waste and of course our hard done by farmers are not happy. Well can I say you they only have themselves to blame for employing cheap foreign labour rather then employing honest English labour? Rubbish English people do not want work I hear you say, that is a myth put out by Greedy Employers. Years ago women would do the fruit picking along with proper Gypsies who would stay on the farms for months in their caravans. The one thing the foreman would say pick your fruit carefully and place the fruit in basket or bin, yes it took a bit longer but there was less damaged fruit. Health and Safety stops women bringing their children to work when on a farm, rightly so a farm can be a dangerous place. What used to happen the women would drop the kids of at school and a 9am a Lorry or Bus would collect them and bring them back at 3pm to collect the kids. The women brought in extra money to the family and they could be with their children when they were needed. Not in today’s society in Nu Labour under the likes of Harriet Harman, a women must take on a full time job which doesn’t coincide with the needs of the family if she doesn’t she will be pilloried for not contributing to society.
All those British employers who employ cheap foreign labour do so at the expense of the British workman, this may be OK when there is full employment but we have now Millions unemployed and nearly all British. One final point I am told every one is saying how good Morrison’s are as they have brought a 1000 jobs to the area but why is it that 200 of those jobs have gone to Eastern Europeans imported into the Town?

Ashley Wise is a fool

To Editor East Kent Gazette
I know you do not like my political letters but I have to take issue with Ashley Wise in his assumption that Politically Correctness is rare and that there is no Politically Correct Guardian where has he been living in the last few years in outer space, he is like an Ostrich who puts his head the sand when he does not want see anything. Let me just give a few examples

The Pudding Spotted Dick re-named Spotted Richard because a council in Wales thought it was offensive

Citizen's Advice service replaces word "blacklisting" to avoid causing offence

Police told to recruit gypsies into forces to be "more representative because gypsies are under represented in the Police


Morris dancers cancelled from school's diversity and culture show because some Morris Dancers blacken their faces as part their hundreds of years of tradition

MEPs sent guide to "Gender Neutral Language in the European Parliament" – UPDATE This means not calling some one Mr or Mrs or Senora or Senorita etc, MEPs must say "flight attendant", not stewardess; "fire-fighter", not fireman; business executive, not businessman. They are asked not even to say "man-made", but to use "synthetic" or "artificial" instead

eBay bans sale of "Escape from Colditz" game as swastika is shown on front of the box

I could go on even MP’s want stop this ridiculous PC as they are preparing a bill to bring before parliament even the Campaign Against Political Correctness ha been called in to advise new Mayor of Doncaster how he can cut Political Correctness. Yes PC is so bad in this country that their campaign group.
As for the PC Guardian it is Harriet Harman (sorry harperson) MP she has been responsible for more PC Correctness then any individual
Ashley Wise and his Nu Labour chums should hang their heads in shame for the damage they have done to this country and the latest treacherous act is the handing over of our sovereignty to the European Dictatorship without even asking the people of this country what they thought
To finalise I totally agree with what MEP Dan Hannan said as for Enoch Powell I very much doubt if Ashley Wise has read his biography let alone the River of Blood Speech, expect he just heard the ranting of his fellow Left Wing Bigots as for him agreeing that “Freedom of Speech is a democratic right” His Politically Correct World spits in the Face of Freedom of Speech

Are the BNP Clever

The BNP have very clever in accepting Non White people into their organisation, we are told that they had to do this because our Political Intelligencer have said they are breaking Racial Equality Laws by not allowing Non Whites in. Can I say firstly if the BNP are such a bigoted organisation why would some one who is not white want to join? I always thought that being Democratic is about letting the individual decide what they want with little or no Government interference, I have a group of mates who meet every Christmas Eve since 1966 and we call ourselves the Christmas Eve Club and we wear a silly designed tie and normally get drunk Christmas Eve Dinner after singing carols and exaggerating tales of our youth. The CEC doesn’t have any women members or any ethnic members so are we breaking some DISCRIMINATION Laws?
BNP under the direction of Nick Griffiths are slowly becoming a main stream party and slowly they are hiding their Right Wing attitudes and because all the major political parties and the Left wing hate them they give them the oxygen of publicity, this makes the people of this country stand up say WHY is everyone so frightened of the BNP? If you listened to Nick Griffiths on Sky and read his articles he doesn’t come across as racist His comment was "'There are three different groups of people in this multicultural Britain now,' he said.’ There’s the indigenous Brits, people like you and me; there's settled ethnic minorities populations who are here legally and legitimately and they are civically British and we have no problem with them at all; and then we have the third block, the colonists, people wanting to change our country into something completely different,' Mr Griffin said.
'A large number of the settled ethnic minority population, Sikhs, Hindus and so on, are actually very much in favour of the British National Party's stance about stopping any further immigration.'
Asked if the sorts of British ethnic minorities he believed supported the party were included in the 'indigenous' group the party would stand up for, he said: 'Oh no, no, no, no, no. 'Of course they are not indigenous. We are saying they are civically British, which is a matter of common sense, also that they are patently not of the ancestral stock of this country. 'It doesn't make them bad; it just makes them a little bit different.'
Now what has he said that is racist or offensive NOTHING and this where he is crafty because he makes all those who call him a racist look silly
The BNP at present will never become a main stream party and to vote for them on a National basis is a wasted vote in my eyes, but you could be on the verge of seeing the uprising of a New Party, as soon as the BNP allow Non White people in and the get them voted in on the EC you will see the Racists Hooligans leave in droves and you will see the birth of a New Right Wing Party led by Nick Griffiths
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Steve Gately & Stephen Friar

There has been a lot said about this Pop Musician Steven Gately, it seems Stephen Friar got right of his box because some women in the Daily Mail wrote an article suggesting that his life style was the cause of his death I took this to mean Drugs, Booze, Parties etc but the Pink Mafia including Stephen Friar ( I might add some one who I have a lot of respect for and some one who has not used his Homosexuality to promote his career) took it to mean he died because he was Homosexual. They then orchestrated a Twitter rampage to castigate the Femail reporter, not the first time this has been done. The Daily Mail organised a survey a Gypsies getting preferential Hospital Treatment over the rest of us, those of us who live in the real world would have said that is wrong, No not the World of Twitters they feel they are superior to the ordinary person in the street, mind you I expect most have Private health care so it will not affect them Twitterers claim victory over loaded Daily Mail gypsy poll

My main point is that this Stephen Gately may have been a wonderful person and it is a tragedy that a man of his age should die but he was only a Pop Singer! Our soldiers who are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan do not get that amount of coverage and they died for their country. Some commentators have said he was brave to come out as a Homosexual what is brave about that? surely it is a requisite of those in the entertainment business to tell people they are Homosexual, what is Brave is fighting for your Country. I expect at the next X Factor Simon Cowell will ask for a minute silence. Steve Gately death was a tragedy for his family and friends but he was only a Pop Star not a national Hero

Restraurateur Victim or Suspect

I was recently talking to a Sittingbourne Restaurateur , he told me he had a group of people in their late twenties do a runner one Sunday dinner time (leave without paying) during the week he saw two of the women and asked them to pay or explain why they did not pay. They started to make excuses and then ran, he chased them and grabbed one stating that he would get the Police involved at this point the 2 women’s Boyfriends/Husbands arrived and attacked the Restaurateur. He managed to get the better off these cowards and they run away, he reported the incident to the Police and the group was arrested but released because the Restaurateur used unnecessary force, he was considered lucky that they did not press charges. So these Cowardly Thieving Yobs escape justice and get a free meal in the bargain, now everyone has to pay in advance for their meals. Now I heard this from the man involved I can not guarantee his story but his case is not unusual in where the Police end up treating the victim as the suspect,

SHAG BANDS

SHAG BANDS
The latest rage in Schools is SHAG BANDS these bands worn around the wrist are an invitation to perform sexual acts depending on what happens to the band this was related to me and others by a 14 year old schoolgirl. The definition of Shag is :1) To have sexual intercourse, 2) A sea bird, A small cormorant, 3) A form of rough pipe tobacco, 4) A thick pile on a carpet. On this particular occasion Shag refers to No 1. So now Sexual Intercourse which at one time was called Making Love normally done between married couples and later between loving couples has now been downgraded to something you do in playtime or in between playing your Nintendo. Do those we look up to for Moral Guidance School Teachers, Church etc do any thing about this NO this school girl has told me and others that is just a fun thing which teachers join in with (this I find hard to believe I hope) but you break a band you have to get pregnant! So much for the New Mantra of Teaching Relationships to our Children, I have for many years said those experts who continually bleat on about teaching more and more sex education and teaching it to even younger children, now they want it taught to 5 year olds, has been proven wrong. The more you teach the more teenage pregnancies increase the more sexual related disease go up and the more broken relationships there are maybe the time has come to look back to the 1950’s with a bit more reverence then disdain and remember the 1960’s as the start of the corruption of our Morals by people who own sexual tastes should be investigated.

Or IN MY DAYYY

Bird Feeder

The Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder.. I hung
it on my patio and filled
it lovingly with seed... It was indeed a beautiful bird feeder.
Within a
week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
Continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue..
Then came the bird sh * t. It was
everywhere; on the patio tiles,
the chairs, the table ....
everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And other birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. I cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be ... quiet, serene
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal...
Now let's see ......
Brown & our government give out
free food, subsidised housing,
free medical care, and free
education and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegals came by
the millions. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for the
free services; small flats
are housing 5 or more families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by a doctor in an emergency surgery
because it is filled with illegal non tax payers;
your child's year 12 class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
'press one' to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than 'The Union Jack' are
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Its just my opinion but:
maybe, just maybe,
it's time for the government
to take down the damn bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not,
continue cleaning up the sh*t!

CRB plus ID

Dear Editor
Next Year we are told that anyone who has dealings with children will have to have a Criminal Records Bureaux Check to see if they are not paedophiles (so a change in English Law Guilty till proven innocent). It seems these draconian measures will extend to people attending a Children’s sports and other event etc, rumours has it that if you working in environment where children are you will need a CRB check i.e. shop keepers, ice cream salesman etc. I think it is disgraceful that we are all considered perverts until we can prove different but I wonder if there is alternative reason for the Governments obsession with CRB? Could it be that that all the information you put on the revised CRB form could form the basis of an ID Card, so we would get ID Cards on the cheap because it is the individual who pays for a CRB Check

KCC Magazine

Today I received free of charge a Free Magazine supplied by Kent County Council and Swale Borough Council. Do they realise that we are in a deep recession, many English people are out of work, many English people are struggling to pay their mortgages and feed their children. So why are KCC and SBC wasting money on this Magazine which is only propaganda to promote themselves, nearly everything in that Magazine could be featured in the Local Press. I also see KCC TV is still in existence once again at what cost. Maybe a representative of the Council or a Councillor can through your newspaper tell us the cost of this magazine and the justification in printing said rubbish?

EU President Tony Blair

So Tony Blair is to become President of the European Union

Those people who believe in the EU tell us that it is a Democratic organisation yet we have a man Tony Blair who is not a MP or MEP, a man who has no mandate from the voters of the EU being appointed not elected as President NOW what understanding of the word Democratic have I missed?

When this new treaty is brought into fruition, the British Government and Parliament become an irrelevance, no more then a debating society. So when the Executive (EU) refuses to listen to the people, they the executive become a Dictatorship with Tony Blair at its head. This will lead to civil unrest firstly done peacefully but when that achieves nothing there will be violent insurrection. Never happen the UK I hear you say, it will not start in the UK but this dictatorship affects other peoples of Europe and they have a history of violent insurrection and it will spread eventually to the UK. People who support the EU in its present form are traitors to their country and to the people of Europe, as for the Politicians the majority are only there to feather their own nest, they care little for the people of EU as long as they get their pot of Gold.

Unmarried Mothers

Dear Editor
I like most of the country are sick to death of this Government and can not wait to see them go, but they did say something at their Party conference and that was having Young Single Mothers put into supervised hostels. For to long these freckles young women have been given housing and all the benefits that go with it, yet they have contributed nothing, it has been suggested that some deliberately get pregnant purely to get a house. These supervise hostel with tutors to teach them not only to be good mothers but can also train them so when their children are old enough they can get employment to repay their debt to society. It will also be a warning to others not to fall into the same trap, yet I can not understand why u 17’s are automatically given flats? If they are living with their parents why don’t they look after them or something really radical why not get the fathers of these babies to pay and if they not earning get his parents to help out. The positive side will also be there will be more houses and flats on the market the downside knowing this government they will all go to immigrants

Kevin Rudd should be PM of GB

I have seen this article several times but it is well worth repeating, wouldn't it be marvelous if we had a Prime Minister like Rudd SOME HOPE

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians'. 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'. 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!' 'Most Australians believe in God.

This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.' 'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

TWITTER

I am not into FaceBook etc because I find them somewhat frivolous (not interested in what you had for breakfast and if you slept well) but have joined TWITTER (VALMARCLARKE) With twitter you can only post a sentence which I can use to direct people to what I want them to know, much more of a business type of Social Networking. Those who are interested in Serious Networking should join

CYCLISTS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC

CYCLISTS
For over 15 years I have been complaining about Cyclists riding on the pavement, riding the wrong way up one way street, ignoring traffic lights etc but over the years I have given up telling people to get of the pavement. Why do they ride on the pavement and ignore most of the traffic laws? It seems once somebody mounts a bicycle they become a rebel to the establishment. There main excuse is that the roads are too dangerous and pavements are safer, for whom? Certainly not the pedestrian, I said many years ago people would get injured by these cyclists. There have been reports of fatalities and in the paper last week a 52 year old woman was knocked over by 17 year old cyclists as she came out of a Supermarket she is in a critical condition. This was compounded when a leading Cycle Experts stated that cyclists should never be prosecuted for being involved in accident with a car, as the car driver would always be at fault, can I say what sort of idiot statement is that. I would be more tolerant if the those cyclists had manners, the path outside my house is only wide enough for two people yet we still have cyclists riding at very high speeds although it is mainly school kids and the worst time being finish of school, we still have adults the worst are those kitted out in complete cycle regalia occasionally you will get a cyclist who see there are people walking on the pavement and they will wait till everyone passes or get of an walk. Although they should not be on the pavement at least they are thinking of other people. The Police as per usual do not want to know and more interested in arresting people for using racist or homophobic language, so what can we do? Nothing. Surely the time has come for Cycles to Road taxed, Insured and MOT like they do in other countries especially as the amount of Cycle Lanes being installed is becoming a drain on public finance and before you say that Car Lover Clarke I do own a cycle.
Cycles are, in law, carriages (as a consequence of the Taylor v Goodwin judgment in 1879) and should be on the road not pavement.

HONOURS LIST

I have always been perplexed by the Honours system, to me it supposed to represent an award for some outstanding achievement but when you really evaluate it is not true e.g.
A Private Secretary to a Government Minister seem to always get a knighthood for his services, yet all he has done is worked for the same group for ex amount of years and was paid very well in the process, working on that parameter every Nurse, Doctor, Teacher, Policeman, Fireman should get a Knighthood and they are not paid as much.
Then we get the Odd ball ones the school secretary who has worked at a school for 10 years, a Lollipop man etc if they are worthy of an OBE/MBE if they why not many others.
The Pop Star who spends his life on drink, Drugs etc but because he or she has made a couple of popular records is awarded a gong
Every Athlete from the Olympics who wins a medal gets a gong for winning surely that is what they train for? If it is for the effort they put in for winning, well what about the others who trains as hard but did not get a medal.
You may ask why do I now bring this subject up well a friend of mine has recently suffered a Stroke, which I was told was life threatening, thank God it was not and hopefully he will make a full recovery.
My Friend is Sittingbourne Man Ron Reeves most probably the greatest Powerlifting Coach this Country has had; he was British Team Coach for many years and trained countless World Champions. I first stared training with Ron when I was 21 in 1971, I had ambitions to become a World Class athlete and I did to some degree winning World Masters Judo title, reserve for 1980 Olympics, World Jiu Jitsu silver, 3 World Sombo Silvers, it was Ron who spent time with me developing my explosive strength introducing me to Olympic Lifting and Powerlifting I have some pride in that I won SE England tittles in both disciplines. Ron used have a Gym behind the George Pub, he then had a Hall at our Martial Arts Centre in East Street from there he moved to Periwinkle in Milton. Sadly this Gym closed some years ago Financial unviable, Nobbys Gym has kept Power and Olympic lifting alive but without Ron it is not the same.
Not only had Ron trained countless World Champions but also trained many local people, he brought Regional, National and International Tournament to the Town, he spent over 40 years of his life teaching and investing money into a sport he loved. Ron was 73 this week when he gets better I expect he will go back to his job as a Security Guard, no lavish pension for Ron no matter what he has done.

Now there a person I think deserves an award what do you think
