MULTICULT DOCTRINE DECLARED FOR ALL TO SEE
Jewish multiculturalist Denis McShane MP, given a slot in the Guardian (25 vii) to sound off about anti-Semitism (à propos the much-jailed Jew-baiters Sheppard and Whittle – see earlier), inadvertently came clean about the slimy key doctrine that the West’s peecee left had invented: “Like Voltaire, I will defend the right to say what is wrong save where it leads to violence and hate against my fellow citizens for being what they cannot change.” – Politely forgetting that Voltaire said no such thing, the dysgenic McShane Doctrine was good to protect Jews and yags? But didn’t it also protect the obese, the psychotic, the idiotic, the ugly, the senile, many religionists, most criminals, little liberals, labourites and conservatives, and of course paedophiles? McShane’s idea that all serious criticism of other people should be suspended might be ideal for achieving Western acceptance of Jews (a dozen of whose rabbis were arrested in New Jersey for major ‘charity’ fraud – joining Bernard Madoff-wid-all-de-$500M-lolly -- as McShane wrote); but it would equally ossify the West, preparing it only for crushing by the previously ossified but lately profit-motivated China (most recently allowing two-child families in 60M-strong Shanghai in a major modernizing concession to the kind of human freedom that McShane wished to eradicate).
BOWDLERIZED EVOLUTION FOR PEECEE ECONOMISTS
Britain’s economists failed to explain the world economy’s bubble & crunch to the Queen (who had set them the challenge on a royal visit to the London School of Economics): they could not bring themselves to trace the problem to enforced multicultural lending mandated by vote-seeking Presidents Clinton and Bush; and they could only attribute their failure to spot the bubble to “a collective lack of imagination” – hardly the most remediable of problems.
Nothing daunted, the ‘economists’ began giving each other lessons in evolutionary genetics, rejoicing in the ‘out of Africa’ story of the 1980s which apparently meant “we are all Africans” (J. M. Ledgard, ‘Exodus’, Economist: Intelligent Life, Summer 2009). Needless to say, what might seem to some a discouraging message had to be backed up by speculation that the cold weather of Europe’s Ice Age would never have posed much of an intelligence-demanding challenge since there would have been plenty of reindeer and fish, a speculation itself supported (according to Nebraska-born ‘genographer’ Spencer Wells) by the well-known finding that there are “certainly no differences in general intelligence” between Blacks and Whites.
No, the biology lesson for economists did not actually mention IQ or race, preferring to let economists cheer themselves up with the idea of human equality just as their own now-plainly-failed ‘science’ had long gloried in human rationality and neglected that some people are power-mad and that others like to gamble. And it did not mention new evidence that ice ages allowed for human brain expansion by solving cooling problems (New Scientist, 29 vii).
A Financial Times leader (28 vii) joined with me in pooh-poohing the LSE’s imagination-deficient economists; and – like Freud, myself and most psychologists of the pre-PeeCee past – it deplored economists’s undue reliance on human rationality in their pathetic efforts to account for, let alone predict, economic behaviour. On 30 vii, the FT was joined by the Telegraph’s financial conlumnist, Edmund Conway, who said that economics had been “moribund for decades.”
{That ‘economics’ was a religious credo rather than a science had previously been explained in Nature (Eichner, 1985). Economics had long suffered from neglecting intelligence – shown to correlate .61 with earnings (across French départments – Lynn, 1980, Br.J.soc.clin.Psychol.).}
SEX PERVERTS FRIGHTEN PRISON OFFICERS
So hysterical (or compensation-seeking) had the NuLabour world become that prison officers reported to the Sun (26 vii) that they got too upset when hearing in sex therapy sessions dealing with the sexual perversions of prisoner-patients at my one-time stamping ground, HMP Grendon. Though unfamiliar with whatever might be the modern problems presented by coloured, irreligious and comprehensively miseducated pervs, I wrote to journalist Simon Hughes to offer some historical perspective: “For detail on the treatment of sexual perverts at HMP Grendon, you and readers might like to see 'Knickers Galore!' here (PDF. Allow a minute or three to download).”
PSYCHOLOGISTS’ COWARDICE ON HOT TOPICS NOTED FOR NYTWITS
The reluctance of psychologists to talk about race and sex was mentioned by star twin worker Tom Bouchard (U. Minnesota) as he gave a retirement interview (to Science’s Constance Holden), yielding a report in the New York Times (23 vii, Nicholas Wade). (The 100 or so comments served to confirm the taboo since only one (Steve Sailer’s) picked up what Bouchard and Holden had actually been primarily talking about — the crushing of James Watson and Larry Summers for their remarks about IQ. Everybody else rushed off to talk about global warming or Kuhn vs Lakatos or whatever else they hadn’t shoved down the memory hole.)
ISLAM – RELIGION OF PEACE & LOVE
Ethnic violence flared once more (BBC, 22 ii 2000) in Nigeria as extreme Mueslis of the classically warlike northern Hausa tribe turned on police in Bauchi city (Family Security Matters, 28 vii; Washington Post, 28 vii). At least 150 died, 4,000 were displace and 2,000 were injured and/or arrested as Sharia law enthusiasts (favouring stonings, whippings, executions and amputations) demanded that the whole of 140M-strong Nigeria abandon ‘sinful’ Western education and restore the Sokoto Caliphate which had ruled till 1903 when its main cities, Kano and Sokoto, were sacked by colonialists.
By 29 vii (BBC), a further 100 had died in “heavy gunfire” as the Nigerian Army moved in force to take the 4km-long stronghold of the Muesli fanatics in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri where mobs had razed five churches. President Yar'Adua ordered the security forces to use all necessary means to control the situation after Boko Haram sect members (including quite a few disaffected lecturers and demanding total seclusion of women) armed themselves with machetes, knives, home-made hunting rifles and petrol bombs and went on the rampage attacking churches and government buildings. Sect members claimed to have taken several government personnel hostage, including two women, and to be planning a sustained campaign (Radio France Internationale, 29 vii)
Police revealed the leader of the ‘Nigerian Taleban,’ Mohammed Yusuf, was a 39-year-old preacher from Yobe state and described him as an inspirational character who had four wives and 12 children. The police said the group had been founded in the mid-1990s and several of its leading figures had been arrested and released.
{After being smoked out of a goatpen at a father-in-law’s house, soaked in urine, Yusuf gave away the sources of his weaponry then died in police custody 30 vii and perhaps 500 of his followers were killed; but his movement had rebuilt in five years after being crushed in 2004 and was thought to have wide appeal to the grindingly poor Muslims of Nigeria’s northern countryside. He had once told the BBC he did not believe the world was round.}
Muslim-related violence had typically claimed some 1,300 dead annually since the end of military rule in 1999. The latest violence was the deadliest since November 2008, when more than 300 people died in the central city of Jos during sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians. More recently, Yusuf’s thugs, some of whom were rumoured to have come from neighbouring Chad and Niger, had begun butchering Muslims who did not agree with them.
Nigeria should have been wealthy, with its copious oil reserves in the south, but widespread corruption and inefficiency had left most people impoverished. Despite promises of reform, President Yar'Adua's ‘democratic’ government, like its predecessors, had failed to deliver even basic services like piped water and electricity.
Most Muslims of the sub-Saharan area were long moderates; but inter-ethnic civil war in Nigeria had claimed a million dead in 1967-70.
The National (Abu Dhabi, 31 vii) sagely observed of Nigeria: “When countries are divided ethnically or religiously, a change in the leadership tends to mean that another crew gets to funnel money to their families, their clan or their coreligionists. The result is a state built on oil patronage, with many of the best-educated seeking their fortunes abroad.”
BLECK-ON-BLECK VIOLENCE IN HOLY SOUTH AFRICA
Fifteen years after Saint Nelson Mandela’s South Africa threw off the shackles of White rule, trade unions for wage-hike-wanting council workers brought some 150K Blacks on to the streets to upturn garbage cans and burn tyres while Black police fired at them with rubber bullets, water jets and tear gas canisters (Reuters, 28 vii). A strike by public transport workers, refuse collectors, gravediggers and licensing officers followed days of violent protests by residents of impoverished townships who had complained about lack of healthcare, water and electricity. Striking workers marched through the streets of Johannesburg's city centre, overturning garbage bins, chanting revolutionary songs and vowing not to return to work until their demands for a 15% pay increase were met. At least twelve Blacks were hospitalized and scores were arrested. Some wondered whether relaxation of the previous apartheid governments’ restrictions on alcohol might have led to the ‘trashing of the streets’ (which was condemned by union bosses). Despite the promises made for Black rule, unemployment stood at around 35%; and most Black males admitted in surveys to having raped at least once – usually girls in mid-adolescence.
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE TRIED AND FAILED
As America discussed whether to go over to a taxpayer-funded national health service on the British model, it turned out that American oldies were considerably superior in cognitive functioning (memory and orientation) to British oldies – the average American 75-year-old performing like a British 65-year old (U.Michigan News Service, 24 vii). A likely explanation was that 50% of US oldies were teetotal, compared to only 15% of UK oldies.
{People need to drink more to survive socialism – as in the old USSR; and socialized medicine positively invites its dependents to take risks with their health, knowing that the taxpayer will step in to fix damage if the worst comes to the worst.}
MULTICULTILUNACY INVADES UK ‘DEFENCE’
While moderate Muslims took on Taleban forces in Pakistan and Nigeria, Britain’s baby-faced teen-mustachioed ‘Foreign Secretary’ David Milliband, having failed to divide and rule the warring ethnicities in Iraq and Afghanistan, announced that surrender and retreat would be important parts of his forthcoming ‘victory’ strategy.
BRITANNIA DYSGENIA
The dysgenic horrors of NuLabour Britain were shockingly revealed as an ugly and doltish Luton ‘mother’, 36, headed for her 14th pregnancy, by an unemployed, tattooed and violent ‘partner,’ despite all her previous thirteen children (several blind or suffering low brain development) having been removed by social workers – at costs of millions of pounds to taxpayers – because she was deemed an incompetent parent even by Labour apparatchiks (Sun, 30 vii). Ex-Shadow Home Secretary Ann Widdecombe said: "It's scandalous this woman has had so many children. But what can you do? There is nothing the State can do to stop her." Fellow Tory MP Philip Davies said: "This is a totally outrageous case and clearly highlights the dependency culture that exists in this country." Mark Wallace, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "It's unfair for this mum to simply keep having children in the full knowledge they will be taken into care."
DIVERSITY DIPLOMACY BLOWN UP BY BOSTON COP
On the very day that President Obarmy and White-traitor psychopathic sidekick Joe Biden took off their jackets for silent-film-style diverse diplomatic beers on the White House lawn with race-stirrers Prof. Gates and Sgt Crowley (see earlier), news flashed in that not all Boston cops were as saintly as race-profiling lecturer Crowley (First Post, 31 vii; The Star, 31 vii):
Addressing the press, Boston's police commissioner Ed Davis said he was 'disgusted' to have learned that Officer Justin Barrett, who had nothing to do with the arrest of Prof. Gates, had sent an e-mail to friends which read in part:
"His [Gates's] first priority effort should have been to get off the phone and comply with police, for if I was the officer he verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC [a brand of pepper spray] [for] his belligerent non-compliance..."
Barrett went on to use the racial slur three more times in the e-mail. But he later said: “I didn’t mean it in a racist way.”
Commissioner Davis said Officer Barrett had been stripped of his gun and badge, and placed on administrative leave pending a termination hearing. The Boston police department's internal affairs division was urgently investigating Barrett's history as a police officer.
….Larry Ellison, a spokesman for minority officers [in the Boston police force], said the incident reflected a subtly racist culture within the Boston police department. He pointed to two specific cases in the last year: a white officer who urinated in the water bottle of a black female officer and another who posted an article titled 'Slavery: Best Thing that Ever Happened to Blacks'.
Post-beer remarks by Sgt Crowley implied there would be further discussions ‘over iced tea’ between him and Harvard-elevated Gates. Perhaps a TV programme was planned, with a star part for ‘post-racial’ Obarmy? But OSambo had suffered significant poll damage by saying Boston cops had acted ‘stupidly’ -- 41% of Americans disapproved while only 29% approved; and he was called a ‘racist’ by commentator Glenn Beck on Fox News.
BLECK ‘BRITONS’ – A VISUAL AID
What happens to pretty White model girls who mess with Black footie-players was tragically illustrated by the case of delightful-looking if party-loving blonde Amy Leigh Barnes, 19 (Daily Mail, 28 vii). The murderer, Ricardo Morrison, 22 (the son of a Black policeworman), who had four previous convictions for violence and was doubtless suspicious of Amy’s relationships with other Blacks, was awarded 24 years jail custody at a likely cost of £2.5M plus a further lifetime of welfare dependency.
NONSENSE ON STILTS
In a travesty of journalistic effort, the Atlantic (29 vii) published ‘The truth about IQ: the genius in all of us’ by David Shenk, worshipping at the shrines of Howie Gardner, Steve Ceci and Jim Flynn without even mentioning any pro-IQ psychologists since Terman, let alone the correlations among mental tests that validate IQ measures (gratuitously called measures of “academic achievement” by Shenk).

BEAUTY vs BEAST
After weeks of ethnic conflict in Urumqi, the capital of 91%-Han China’s vast northwestern Xinjiang (Sinkiang) Province, Beijing’s Xinhua News Agency was glad to suggest by the end of July that an end to the troubles was in sight (20 vii). The 197 dead and several thousand injured and/or arrested, as embittered Uighurs protested against Han ‘oppression,’ had led even to accusations of ‘genocide’ (from the Prime Minister of Uighur-sympathetic Turkey). But Xinhua reported that Urumqi was hosting a major multicultural beauty contest, involving co-operative lovelies from all over central Asia:
With heart-throbbing music, 45 models from different ethnic groups such as Han, Uygur, Kazak and Hui, presented their beauty and energy on the red carpet-covered platform. "We miss the people dead (in the riots), but we also should cast off the shadow as early as possible,” said Zhang Tiantian, hostess of the preliminary contest for the 2009 Miss Tourism International in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. “We should make our lives more beautiful with a more positive attitude, and this is the special significance of today’s contest,” she said.
Friendships among Han and Uighur models and clothes designers were reported; and a teacher of one of the university graduate model girls said "This small venue is full of enthusiasm and innervation [sic]. No one will have a slight feeling of shadow. This is the best remedy for Urumqi." – Though whether this was anything more than the pieties of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair about Northern Ireland (where ethnic peace was mainly kept by scores of miles of barbed-wire-topped walls) remained to be seen. {By late July, China had in Xinjiang some 130,000 of the People’s Armed Police and some 40,000 troops of the People’s Liberation Army.}
CHINA’S LITTLE SECRET
A possible problem for Chinese plans for world domination came to light as a top water official in Hubei Province dropped dead at age 47 from excessive drinking (Breaking News 24/7, 20 vii). The previous week, a top Guangdong official had gone into alcoholic coma during a high-level Communist lunch ooops discussion. Apparently, heavy drinking had become the norm for Chinese-Communist officialdom – as it had been among the apparatchiks of the Soviet Union:
The two cases highlight the heavy ritualized role drinking plays in business and government circles in China. Bai jiu, the potent rice liquor, is a permanent presence at elaborate banquets, where “Gan bei,” or “Bottoms up,” is the official toast.
“Drinking with official guests or other officials at alcohol-soaked events is considered part of the job,” Professor Li Changyan of Peking University was quoted as saying. Li said banquets are a mandatory exercise in welcoming VIPs and are usually covered by government funds.
He said government officials spend about 500 billion yuan ($73 billion) in public funds each year on official banquets, nearly one-third of the nation’s expenses on dining out.
‘BLACK SAVAGES’ – Indie
Surprisingly, the left-of-centre Independent newspaper allowed belated description of the violent 1964 revolution in Zanzibar when Blacks overthrew the Sultan, had the streets running with blood and triggered mayhem against Indians and Muslims in wider East Africa lasting ten years and then some (20 vii, ‘Darkness in paradise’):
They slaughtered anyone who looked Arab and some Indians too, took their daughters to rape and use, confiscated their properties and banished many. To this day there is no list of the dead – those tortured and dumped into the sea – the disappeared and the exiles. A few years on, the coup leaders went for Zanzibari Persians, plucked several beautiful young girls of the most affluent families – some as young as 14 – and forced them into marriage with brutish military men.
But tolerance of this rehearsal of crimes by Blacks was more understandable in view of the Zanzibar revolutionaries having once been enslaved (to Arabs) and the writer herself being minority (Mueslie) columnist Jasmin Alibhai Brown – who had occasionally visited the island by ferry from Dar-es-Salaam with her mother while growing up Shia in Kampala.
TOP BLACK HANDCUFFED AND CHARGED FOR PLAYING RACE CARD
The gross over-use of accusations of ‘racism’ was nicely illustrated as Harvard’s top expert in Afro-American Studies, literary critic and public intellectual, mulatto Henry Louis ‘Skip’ Gates Jr (partly British and Jewish as shown by DNA testing – see above), amazed onlookers by shouting at police from his front porch near Harvard Road, Cambridge, Massachusetts (CNN, 21 vii; Bloomberg, 21 vii). A female passer-by had called police at 12:44p.m., 16th July, on seeing two Black men (in fact Gates and a North African taxi driver) trying to force a door (the door to Gates’ home, which had apparently become jammed by a failed burglary attempt while Gates had been away in China).
On being asked to identify himself, the self-important and possibly tired-and-emotional Gates, 58, decided to let his feeling of insult take over and hurled abuse (“Race-baiting authoritarian!”, “This is what happens to Black men in America,” “Do you know who I am?” and “You don’t know who you’re messing with”) at cops till he was handcuffed (Guardian, 22 vii), still hollering, and taken off to the local police station to be photographed, fingerprinted and charged with ‘loud, disorderly and tumultuous conduct.’ Gates had been named by Time magazine in 1997 as among the 25 most influential living Americans.
{Over subsequent days, faced with an MSM firestorm and doubtless many phone calls from Harvard, the police dropped Gates’ listing for arraignment. Gates himself was awarded a TV contract to whine about White racism.}
Saint Barry Obarmy, like Gates, had a ready-made reaction to events: "I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three-what I think we know separate and apart from this incident-is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact.”
Many of Gates' African-American colleagues believed his arrest was part of a pattern of racial profiling in Cambridge, said Allen Counter, who had taught neuroscience at Harvard for 25 years. Counter said he had been stopped on campus by two Harvard police officers in 2004 after being mistaken for a robbery suspect. They threatened to arrest him when he could not produce identification. “We do not believe that this arrest would have happened if Professor Gates was White,” Counter said. “It really has been very unsettling for African-Americans throughout Harvard and throughout Cambridge that this happened.”
An ‘outraged’ Gates demanded an apology from the arresting police sergeant, James Crowley. "This isn't about me; this is about the vulnerability of black men in America," Gates said. He said the incident made him realize how vulnerable poor people and minorities were "to capricious forces like a rogue policeman, and this man clearly was a rogue policeman." But Crowley refused to cringe, saying he had the support of his police colleagues for how he had handled events. Crowley’s previous claim to fame was as a campus police officer at Brandeis University in July 1993 when he unsuccessfully administered CPR trying to save the life of former Boston Celtics player, Reggie Lewis, who was Black and collapsed and died during an off-season workout.
The whole matter could have been sorted out so easily except that, if the cosseted Gates had made that one small step to being a respectable citizen, i.e. had complied with police to sort out his identity, it would have done tremendous damage to his psyche: he would have destroyed the one part of his persona that had got him his Harvard privileges in the first place -- the part that said he was a disrespected and victimized citizen.
Online polls in Massachusetts (a ‘liberal’ state) showed strong support for the White arresting officer. A police union also came to his defense, as did most of the many correspondents of the Boston Globe (Reuters, 23 vii). A female former police radio officer pointed out that the professor should have been grateful to his neighbour and police for prompt action to prevent apparent burglary of his property (Chicago Tribune, 23 vii).
It turned out that Sgt Crowley had for several years taught a class for police on ‘racial profiling’ – having been selected to do so by a Black police chief. The interchange between Crowley and Gates had been relayed by police radio to police HQ, where senior officers said it was clear that Gates had been given many opportunities to calm down before handcuffs were applied (ABC News, 23 vii). Jim Carnell, union representative of the Boston Patrolmen Association, said the president's comments are unforgivable. "With one sentence, our president set this country back 100 years. For the President of the United States to use a prime-time news conference to push through comments in favor of his friend that cast police officers in this country as stupid is unforgiveable," Carnell said at the headquarters of Boston police.
Guardian correspondents (24 vii) were divided as to whether Gates was an egotistical uppity n*gga milking his opportunity for enhanced status as an expert on racial victimization. But few or none noted the simple point that the most reasonable first guess, on seeing two Black men forcing a door of a gracious house in leafy Harvard Square, would be that the men were burglars. Nor was it asked why luminary Prof. Gates had not asked his taxi driver to phone police to advise of the pair’s intent to smash a front door open in full view of potentially worried neighbours. {However, one correspondent sagely observed: “The only racism I can see in this incident came from Henry Gates. Would he have abused the police officer if the officer had been black? Almost certainly not.The only motive for Gates behavior, by his own admission, was the cop’s skin color and Gates race-based assumptions about him.” Yes: Sgt Crowley had made proper examinations to see if Gates was a burglar; but Prof. Gates had assumed -- and thrown a hissy fit without evidence -- that Crowley was a racist.}
An American Spectator correspondent (24 vii) recalled the words of the noted Black (actually mulatto) educator, Booker T. Washington 1815-1915 (who wrote Up from Slavery in 1901 and was much admired as a scholar by Hans Eysenck): “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
By 25 vii, Obarma sensibly rowed back, saying his words had not been well ‘calibrated,’ and announced that both Gates and Crowley had accepted his invitation to a reconciliatory beer. But Gates continued to insist that Crowley would have to regard the experience as ‘a teaching moment’ and was in this backed up by the liberal Huffington Post, which along with the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials, called for a revived national discussion of racial profiling.
“BRIGHT” CHILDREN GET A NULABOUR MENTION!
In the dog days of NuLabour, with Parliament on holiday for three months, Blairite Alan Milburn, recruited by Grumpy Gordon to think the unthinkable about education and social mobility (Daily Telegraph leader, 21 vii), came up with the same view as Sir Cyril Burt in the 1940s: that something needed to be done about “bright children from poor homes.” So what was to be done, given that Labour had spent the previous 50 years deriding and tearing down Burt’s grammar schools and failing to introduce the selection promised by Rev. Blair in 1996? Blissfully ignoring Labour’s proven sustained unwillingness to give special help (i.e. education) to bright kids, Milburn came up with ‘educational vouchers’ as the way forward – as had the right-wing Institute for Economic Affairs by 1980. But whether Milburn would allow schools to offer places more ‘cheaply’ to bright children and how the newly acknowledged ‘brightness’ would be allowed to be tested remained obscure (deliberately so, since lefties of Britain’s ‘educational’ system would wreck any such proposals just as c. 2004 they wrecked Rev. Blair’s ‘independent’ business-funded Academies by insisting these new schools could not be allowed to be selective of their intakes). (Milburn also suggested elocution classes – as had been popular with Scots of 1720, adapting to the Union).
APOGEE OF NULABOUR LYING
Not content with pretending that 50% of kids deserved to go to university, that British troops in Afghanistan had enough helicopters, that the economic bubble & crunch was due to bankers, that knife crime was going down thanks to its efforts, that Black over-representation in crime figures was due to police racism, that British-dwelling Mueslis were British patriots, that Britain’s schoolteachers were anything more than lobotomized Labour multiculti apparatchiks and that foxhunting was the cruellest way of exterminating foxes, peecee NuLabour even rigged the Miss England beauty contest to award the title to the mulatto daughter of a Black criminal (thief, girlfriend-beater and drug artist – murdered in 1996 by other Black drug dealers). She had come only 49th (out of 54) in ratings by 10,000 phone-in viewers who had each paid £1 to register their opinions (Sun, 22 vii; Daily Mail, 22 vii).

An ‘outraged’ Gates demanded an apology from the arresting police sergeant, James Crowley. "This isn't about me; this is about the vulnerability of black men in America," Gates said. He said the incident made him realize how vulnerable poor people and minorities were "to capricious forces like a rogue policeman, and this man clearly was a rogue policeman." But Crowley refused to cringe, saying he had the support of his police colleagues for how he had handled events. Crowley’s previous claim to fame was as a campus police officer at Brandeis University in July 1993 when he unsuccessfully administered CPR trying to save the life of former Boston Celtics player, Reggie Lewis, who was Black and collapsed and died during an off-season workout.
The whole matter could have been sorted out so easily except that, if the cosseted Gates had made that one small step to being a respectable citizen, i.e. had complied with police to sort out his identity, it would have done tremendous damage to his psyche: he would have destroyed the one part of his persona that had got him his Harvard privileges in the first place -- the part that said he was a disrespected and victimized citizen.
Online polls in Massachusetts (a ‘liberal’ state) showed strong support for the White arresting officer. A police union also came to his defense, as did most of the many correspondents of the Boston Globe (Reuters, 23 vii). A female former police radio officer pointed out that the professor should have been grateful to his neighbour and police for prompt action to prevent apparent burglary of his property (Chicago Tribune, 23 vii).
It turned out that Sgt Crowley had for several years taught a class for police on ‘racial profiling’ – having been selected to do so by a Black police chief. The interchange between Crowley and Gates had been relayed by police radio to police HQ, where senior officers said it was clear that Gates had been given many opportunities to calm down before handcuffs were applied (ABC News, 23 vii). Jim Carnell, union representative of the Boston Patrolmen Association, said the president's comments are unforgivable. "With one sentence, our president set this country back 100 years. For the President of the United States to use a prime-time news conference to push through comments in favor of his friend that cast police officers in this country as stupid is unforgiveable," Carnell said at the headquarters of Boston police.
Guardian correspondents (24 vii) were divided as to whether Gates was an egotistical uppity n*gga milking his opportunity for enhanced status as an expert on racial victimization. But few or none noted the simple point that the most reasonable first guess, on seeing two Black men forcing a door of a gracious house in leafy Harvard Square, would be that the men were burglars. Nor was it asked why luminary Prof. Gates had not asked his taxi driver to phone police to advise of the pair’s intent to smash a front door open in full view of potentially worried neighbours. {However, one correspondent sagely observed: “The only racism I can see in this incident came from Henry Gates. Would he have abused the police officer if the officer had been black? Almost certainly not.The only motive for Gates behavior, by his own admission, was the cop’s skin color and Gates race-based assumptions about him.” Yes: Sgt Crowley had made proper examinations to see if Gates was a burglar; but Prof. Gates had assumed -- and thrown a hissy fit without evidence -- that Crowley was a racist.}
An American Spectator correspondent (24 vii) recalled the words of the noted Black (actually mulatto) educator, Booker T. Washington 1815-1915 (who wrote Up from Slavery in 1901 and was much admired as a scholar by Hans Eysenck): “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
By 25 vii, Obarma sensibly rowed back, saying his words had not been well ‘calibrated,’ and announced that both Gates and Crowley had accepted his invitation to a reconciliatory beer. But Gates continued to insist that Crowley would have to regard the experience as ‘a teaching moment’ and was in this backed up by the liberal Huffington Post, which along with the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials, called for a revived national discussion of racial profiling.
“BRIGHT” CHILDREN GET A NULABOUR MENTION!
In the dog days of NuLabour, with Parliament on holiday for three months, Blairite Alan Milburn, recruited by Grumpy Gordon to think the unthinkable about education and social mobility (Daily Telegraph leader, 21 vii), came up with the same view as Sir Cyril Burt in the 1940s: that something needed to be done about “bright children from poor homes.” So what was to be done, given that Labour had spent the previous 50 years deriding and tearing down Burt’s grammar schools and failing to introduce the selection promised by Rev. Blair in 1996? Blissfully ignoring Labour’s proven sustained unwillingness to give special help (i.e. education) to bright kids, Milburn came up with ‘educational vouchers’ as the way forward – as had the right-wing Institute for Economic Affairs by 1980. But whether Milburn would allow schools to offer places more ‘cheaply’ to bright children and how the newly acknowledged ‘brightness’ would be allowed to be tested remained obscure (deliberately so, since lefties of Britain’s ‘educational’ system would wreck any such proposals just as c. 2004 they wrecked Rev. Blair’s ‘independent’ business-funded Academies by insisting these new schools could not be allowed to be selective of their intakes). (Milburn also suggested elocution classes – as had been popular with Scots of 1720, adapting to the Union).
APOGEE OF NULABOUR LYING
Not content with pretending that 50% of kids deserved to go to university, that British troops in Afghanistan had enough helicopters, that the economic bubble & crunch was due to bankers, that knife crime was going down thanks to its efforts, that Black over-representation in crime figures was due to police racism, that British-dwelling Mueslis were British patriots, that Britain’s schoolteachers were anything more than lobotomized Labour multiculti apparatchiks and that foxhunting was the cruellest way of exterminating foxes, peecee NuLabour even rigged the Miss England beauty contest to award the title to the mulatto daughter of a Black criminal (thief, girlfriend-beater and drug artist – murdered in 1996 by other Black drug dealers). She had come only 49th (out of 54) in ratings by 10,000 phone-in viewers who had each paid £1 to register their opinions (Sun, 22 vii; Daily Mail, 22 vii).

REAL RACISM AFTER 60 YEARS OF COMMUNISM
Anyone think Wiggers vs Chinks in Sinkiang just a little local technocratic problem to be solved by a little Sarkozy-style affirmative action? Think again, said the Montreal Gazette’s Norman Webster (12 vii): “….they really don't like each other. I innocently put the question of intermarriage to a local Uighur. "No!" he almost shouted. He was really insulted.” Apparently the Chinese authorities close religious schools, discourage the veil and decide who may make the pilgrimage to Mecca. According to Uighurs, after the toy factory brawl, Han websites had called for the killing of all Uighurs in China.
BNP SURVIVES BBC
Astonishingly invited on to the Beeb’s top politics show (BBC 1, 12 vii), run by Andrew Marr (previously top political correspondent and latterly promoted to top intellectual, running Radio 4’s ‘Start the Week’ [previously the fief of Lord Barggs]), BNP leader Nick Griffin, with his red-white-and-blue-striped tie only slightly askew, put up a passable defence against the inevitable accusations of ‘fascism’ (countering by calling HMG and the EU ‘fascist’). Sadly, his positive proposals were moderate in the extreme: after sinking the boats of sub-Saharan asylum seekers in the Mediterranean, he would throw the drowning Africans life-rafts – so they could apparently start all over again; and his scheme for repatriation of third-world-originating immigrants involved nothing more than the standard Lib-Lab-Con policy of financially assisting the return of any immigrants who got fed up with Britain – ideas of insisting on learning English, having educational qualifications, having a regular job, owning property or having a sizeable bank account and/or an English-speaking spouse did not seem to occur.
Still, the interview was not the disaster it could have been, and the brave NG lived to fight another day. Most notably, NG was able to reveal to half-a-million viewers that the latest version of the ‘Anti-Nazi League’ [which had bullied E.LU. into sacking me], now styling itself ‘Unite Against Fascism,’ was funded by all main British political parties, including the cowardly ‘Conservatives.’ Giving his 2-minute maiden speech to the European Parliament, NG condemned British politicians as hypocritical when they complained of electoral violence in Iran while, at home, UAF thugs were allowed to attack the BNP with “bricks, darts and claw-hammers.”
MAD MUESLIS TO TURN ON CHINA
As Han Chinese police shot dead in the street two Wiggers (supposedly hacking with blades at another Wigger, a security guard at a mosque) in sensitive Urumqi, Muesli quangoes in Iran, Indonesia, Turkey and Algeria (14 vii) denounced Chinese ‘racism,’ ‘genocide,’ ‘imperialism’ etc. – if not yet with quite the enthusiasm which they reserved for condemning America and Britain. In vast but divided Sinkiang Province (the same size as Texas), groups linked to Al Qaeda claimed to have launched a jihad, or holy war against China and promised to avenge the blood of Uyghurs against Chinese commercial interests all over the world. The Beijing-controlled China Daily urged Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan, who had personally condemned the Xinjiang killings as “like genocide,” to "take back his remarks ... which constitute interference in China's internal affairs" (Washington Post, 14 vii).
Han Chinese officials in Yining city, about 700 km (435 miles) west of Urumqi, announced that more than 70 members of two "violent gangs" had been rounded up, the semi-official China News portal reported. A prominent Uighur intellectual, Ilham Tohti, an outspoken economist, disappeared from his Beijing home and a group of 158 Chinese writers, students and intellectuals issued a public appeal for his release – a devolopment likely to further antagonize the Beijing authorities. Xinjiang's governor accused Tohti's website of helping "to orchestrate the incitement" of the previous week's rioting. Stirling Assynt, a fact-finding organization for businessmen, estimated that hundreds of thousands of Chinese worked in the Middle East and north Africa, including 50,000 in Algeria alone – so could readily be targeted by Al Qaeda.
The left threw its weight behind its Muesli brothers – with the Socialist Worker talking of “the militarised Chinese state” “oppressing”, “crushing” and “harshly punishing” the Uighur “so-called lawbreakers.” (18 vii). Al Qaeda websites recorded high animosity to Han Chinese. "Chop off their heads at their workplaces or in their homes to tell them that the time of enslaving Muslims has gone," read one posting reproduced by the Daily Telegraph (14 vii). Governments of several Muslim countries (e.g. Pakistan, Kazakhstan) obliged Beijing by saying the affair was an ‘internal’ matter for China and that they did not support separatism; but, as the Financial Times observed, “public opinion in at least some of these countries is a different matter” (14 vii). In the Gaza Strip, Hamas said the unrest in Urumqi would harm China's ties to the Muslim world. In Urumqi, Chinese officials threatened to execute rioters. China warned its workers in Algeria to step up security precautions, asked the Philippines for enhanced protection of the Chinese Embassy and asked the Melbourne Film Festival to withdraw a film sympathetic to Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer. The World Uighur Congress (WUC) claimed that the death toll of Uighurs in Urumqi had exceeded 800.
RIGHT RE-THINK
In view of the complete failure of the Conservatives and BNP to come up with any mentionable policies, or even to adopt the general principles of FAMILY and FREEDOM long urged here, a kick in the pants seemed necessary. Let’s cut the cackle and demolish the post-1870 British state [which invented the ‘education’ which inevitably (in neosocialist hands) became peecee propaganda], cutting government spending by 20% per year and giving the saved money to people who have lived in Britain for more than 50 years – with the stipulation that they spend it on others and that at least 50% of recipients of the largesse be under 25 and not in the immediate families of donors. Let’s call it Senior to Junior – abbreviated as ‘S2J.’ Simple and mentionable enough? Something Dave and the Nicks need not be shamefaced about? A practical basis for an anti-socialist electoral pact? {Why do I bother?....}
RACE REALISM – A TEACHER’S VIEW
The full hilarity of modern America and its pretensions to egalitarian piety about Blacks (piety first enforced for fifty years by the UK’s Royal Navy as a way of damping down the USA’s successful system of slavery, but finally taken to heart as if part of the US Constitution) was revealed by an ordinary High School teacher, Christopher Jackson, in the Deep South’s great city of Birmingham [pop. 300K], Alabama: Urbanham.com [“Birmingham’s WebPortal for Urban Lifestyles,” showing predictable interest in Barry Obama, Michael Jackson and Alabama lovelies], 10 vii.
In an apparently authentic article that should have been inset as a verbal aid into all London School writings of the previous thirty years, the teacher dispassionately and good-humouredly recounted the noisiness, stupidity, ignorance, chauvinism, lewdness and racism of Bleck ‘high school’ youf after fifty years of America pandering to them. Since it was inconceivable that the web message would long remain posted, here is a sample.
The posting was probably only possible because of the devout “faith in God” of the website’s organizers – with the commitment to truth-telling about reality that true Christian piety can bring. Other parts of the website seemed sincere in urging Blacks to avoid calling each other “mother-fuckers,” “hoes”[i.e. whores], “bitches” and “lame-assed niggas” (19 vi).
PAEDOHYSTERIA CONTESTED
Top children’s writer Philip Pullman (author of His Dark Materials) refused to be vetted for non-paedophilia, rejecting NuLabour Home Office regulations (requiring all ‘in contact with children’ to prove they were not paedophiles) as “outrageous, demeaning, insulting, dispiriting and sinister” (Classic FM Radio, 16 vii). Pullman was joined by children’s authors Anne Fine, Michael Morpurgo, Anthony Horowitz and Quentin Blake in his anti-paedohysteria and refusal to undertake any more visits to schoolchild fans in Britain (BBC, 16 vii). Labour’s job-creative vetting scheme was to cost £64 per person from October and was to apply to some five million persons annually (in the education, health and welfare ‘services’).
MISSION ABANDONED
Revellers at the shindig in Chicago of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (the society founded by Hans Eysenck to back hereditarianism and realism in psychology) found that not a single conference paper mentioned the dreaded words ‘race,’ ‘g factor’ or sex’ [except in the sense of ‘gender’], so young race realist scholars had plenty of time on their hands for gargling and googling (though not for gawping, given ISSID’s perennial paucity of glamour girls). – ISSID’s bores could be checked out here.
PREPARING FOR THE PROPHET
While America’s liberal-left Newsweek assured its readers that Europeans had nothing to fear from Muesli colonization, it transpired that France had no less than 750 no-go areas run by Muslim gangs (under a mixture of Sharia law and mafia control) and that Muslim authorities estimated that Muslims approached becoming 20% of the population (at 12M out of 61M) (Brussels Journal, 16 vii). French youths had burned 317 cars and wounded 13 police officers overnight during the traditional bout of Muesli street violence on the eve of the Bastille Day national holiday, July 14th, police said (AmRen, 15 vii).
GERMAN POST-WAR PEECEE PIETY REIGNS SUPREME
Bosses at Dresden Zoo professed themselves mortified to learn (from Black German protesters) that staff had named a newborn monkey ‘Obama.’ Apparently no-one in Germany had ever read Kant or thought there might be even the faintest resemblance between Blacks and monkeys (AmRen, 14 vii).

Since it was inconceivable that the web message would long remain posted, here is a sample.
….Many black people, especially black women, are enormously fat. Some are so fat I had to arrange special seating to accommodate their bulk. I am not saying there are no fat white students -- there are -- but it is a matter of numbers and attitudes. Many black girls simply do not care that they are fat. There are plenty of white anorexics, but I have never met or heard of a black anorexic.
“Black women be big Mr. Jackson,” my students would explain.
“Is it okay in the black community to be a little overweight?” I ask. Two obese black girls in front of my desk begin to dance, “You know dem boys lak juicy fruit, Mr. Jackson.”
“Juicy” is a colorful black expression for the buttocks.
Blacks, on average, are the most directly critical people I have ever met: “Dat shirt stupid. Yo’ kid a bastard. Yo’ lips big.” Unlike Whites, who tread gingerly around the subject of race, they can be brutally to the point. Once I needed to send a student to the office to deliver a message. I asked for volunteers, and suddenly you would think my classroom was a bastion of civic engagement. Thirty dark hands shot into the air. My students loved to leave the classroom and slack off, even if just for a few minutes, away from the eye of white authority.
I picked a light-skinned boy to deliver the message. One very black student was indignant: “You pick da half-breed.” And immediately other blacks take up the cry, and half a dozen mouths are screaming, “He half-breed.”
….There was a lot of promiscuous sex among my students and this led to violence. Black girls were constantly fighting over black boys. It was not uncommon to see two girls literally ripping each other’s hair out with a police officer in the middle trying to break up the fight. The black boy they were fighting over would be standing by with a smile, enjoying the show he had created. For reasons I cannot explain, boys seldom fought over girls.
….One of my students was a notorious drug dealer. Everyone knew it. He was 19 years old and in eleventh grade. Once he got a score of three out of 100 on a test. He had been locked up four times since he was 13.
One day, I asked him, “Why do you come to school?”
He wouldn’t answer. He just looked out the window, smiled, and sucked air through his teeth. His friend Yidarius ventured an explanation: “He get dat green and get dem females.”
“What is the green?” I asked. “Money or dope?” “Both,” said Yidarius with a smile.
A very fat black interrupted from across the room: “We get dat lunch,” Mr. Jackson. “We gotta get dat lunch and brickfuss.” He means the free breakfast and lunch poor students get every day. “Nigga, we know’d you be lovin’ brickfuss!” shouts another student.
Some readers may believe that I have drawn a cruel caricature of black students. After all, according to official figures some 85 percent of them graduate. It would be instructive to know how many of those scraped by with barely a C- record. They go from grade to grade and they finally get their diplomas because there is so much pressure on teachers to push them through. It saves money to move them along, the school looks good, and the teachers look good.
The posting was probably only possible because of the devout “faith in God” of the website’s organizers – with the commitment to truth-telling about reality that true Christian piety can bring. Other parts of the website seemed sincere in urging Blacks to avoid calling each other “mother-fuckers,” “hoes”[i.e. whores], “bitches” and “lame-assed niggas” (19 vi).

ITALY RIDES OUT
Faced with massive ‘Camp of the Saints’-style invasion from Africa and a comparable influx of E.U.-blessed Romanian gypsies, Italy took new legal powers to return all non-agreed immigrants, to punish Italians who assisted such illegals, and to build more steel walls to segregate unruly immigrants (e.g. in the left-run city of Padua) (BNP, 3 vii).
{The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, threw in his own two-penn’orth by suggesting the boats be sunk – his ‘intemperate’ comment perhaps explaining why other ‘far right’ groups in the European Parliament had declined to go into what would have been a money-making alliance with the BNP.}
TRAITOROUS JOURNALISTS
The extent of peecee infiltration in Britain was given a visual aid as even the (generally right-of-centre paedophile-bashing tabloid, though maintaining a hotline to wymmin) Daily Mail chose to illustrate Britain’s growing problem of forced marriages with an entirely misleading picture of a White bride and groom (2 vii).
MUESLI-CHINK PACT BREAKS DOWN
After years of the Chinese pretending to be a Muesli-loving and third-world-sympathizing country – while grabbing minerals from Africa – they found themselves up against lowish-IQ Muesli fury in the Sinkiang capital of Ürümqi (about 2.5M, the same size as Greater Glasgow) where hundreds of homes, cars and people suffered damage and at least 200 died. I told a Kansas supporter:
” I have long thought the Chinese arrangements re copyright a model of libertarianism which we should emulate. Likewise in China you can criticize Catholicism, Japs, nignogs, Tibetans, Taiwanese, Mueslis, Falun Gong, paedohysteria etc. -- just so long as you don't criticise the Gummint. Now that Uighur vs Han things are kicking off in Sinkiang (See here and here), I imagine we will soon be glad that the Chinks are killing far more Mueslis than we managed in Eyeraq and Afghaniland. The Chinks seem set to get the West’s chestnuts out of the fire vs Mueslis, just as the Russkies did 1941ff. vs the similarly unreliable Hun (or at least Hitler).”
It was important to observe that mineral- and gas-rich Sinkiang (aka Xinjiang Province) had been massively colonized by the Han Chinese since 1945, especially its capital of Urumchi (Urumqi), so a full-blown civil war among Sinkiang’s 18M people probably lay ahead. At last the West, in its 20-year long battle with Muesli fanatics, had some high-IQ and hard-fighting friends – though many Europeans would be tempted to criticize Chinese ‘authoritarianism’ and the 1948 Nato Alliance obliged the West to defend Turkey if it were attacked by China. (Also, Americal liberals seemed set to be shocked by China: the Huffington Post observed (6 vii) “The Bush administration's blind haste to launch a global war on terrorism provided Beijing with the ultimate excuse to crackdown on the Uyghurs. China's pledge of support for the U.S. campaign was secured by having our State Department place an obscure Uyghur group on the watch list of global terrorist organizations. In one fell swoop Washington blessed Han Chinese racism and granted Beijing a license to hunt Uyghurs at will.”)
Crowds of Uighur protesters about perhaps scores (some said hundreds) of Uighur and Han dead and injured at a South China toy factory (in Guangdong Province, after two Uighurs had been blamed for rapes), found their way blocked by armed riot police and proceeded to turn on Han people spied in buses and shops. Bloggers said over 100 buses were destroyed. This was the largest Uighur (a Turkic group) vs Han clash since 1997. In Peking, authorities blamed the violence on “separatists” living outside China and closed down the internet and Twitter in Sinkiang. Especially blamed was Ms Rebiya Kadeer, a successful Uighur businesswoman, and a member of China’s National People’s Congress, who had been jailed for nearly six years as a political dissident and had then gone into exile in the United States. (Rebiya Kadeer had published a book, Dragon Fighter, to which the Dalai Llama had contributed a Foreword.) Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Germany-based World Uighur Congress, cited eyewitness reports that the army had used machine guns and then enforced a curfew specifically against Uighurs; meanwhile, Communist Party militants scoured the streets for Uighur people.
Dozens of demonstrators (presumably Muslims) were arrested in the Hague after a crowd of some 200 had smashed windows in the Chinese Embassy and set light to a Chinese flag.
By 7th July, Chinese police had arrested 1,500 in Urumchi and thousands of Han had marched through the streets of the provincial capital carrying meat cleavers, metal pipes and wooden clubs and shouting ‘Protect our homes and families!’, ‘Uighurs are beasts!’ and ‘Attack Uighurs!’ Han rioters smashed Uighur restaurants, threw rocks at a mosque and threatened residents of Uighur areas, although moderates in the crowd attempted to restrain them. Over 20,000 armed police, special police, firefighters and troops had been sent to Urumchi to quell the unrest. The city was placed under total curfew from 9p.m. (13:00GMT).
In all this, lack of reliable information from either a free press or the Chinese government fuelled the wildest rumours.
From New Delhi, the All-India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat [umbrella body of Indian Muslim organisations] condemned the ‘reign of terror’ unleashed by the Chinese security forces and the Chinese Han settlers in “Xinjiang” or Eastern Turkestan, on the Uighur Muslims (SahilOnline, 8 vii).
{Xinjiang, called East Turkestan by Muslims, is a major corridor for Chinese trade and energy ties with Central Asia, and is itself rich in gas, minerals, and agricultural production. After converting to Islam in the 10th century, the Uyghurs adopted the Arabic alphabet, and its use became common in the 11th century. Large Qing Dynasty forces under the overall command of General Zuo Zongtang attacked East Turkestan in 1876. Fearing Tsarist expansion into East Turkestan, Great Britain supported the Manchu invasion forces through loans by British banks (mostly through Boston Bank, located in Hong Kong).
After this invasion, East Turkestan was renamed "Xinjiang" or "Sinkiang", which means "New Dominion" or "New Territory", and it was annexed by the Manchu empire on November 18, 1884. The name ‘Uighur’ was revived in 1921 as a generic description for the oasis-dwellers of Xinjiang. Mao-tse Tung took over Sinkiang in 1949 after all Uighur leaders died in a mysterious plane crash. The Chinese subsequently destroyed the old Uighur capital of Kashgar. A joint China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline was also recently completed, giving China access to its Central Asian neighbors resources. With 80 percent of China’s oil imports coming by sea, Beijing moved in the past few years to diversify its energy options through cooperation with its Central Asian neighbors. In addition to the pipelines that run through its deserts, Xinjiang is energy-rich it its own right – oil and gas account for 60 percent of the region’s GDP, though providing jobs mainly for Han Chinese.
It is no secret that Uighur rebels have found sanctuary in the neighbouring Tajikistan, an impoverished Central Asian country. They operate from the mountainous region where Tajikistan's security forces find the harsh weather and the tough terrain major obstacles in their fight against the Uighurs and Islamic rebel groups from Uzbekistan.}
ENTERTAINMENT GALORE
As the Silly Season approached, both Tories and Socialists tried to rise to the task of being as comical as possible – about immigration, especially by the 2.5K young Afghan, Iraqi and Somali males waiting in ‘The Jungle’ outside Calais for a chance to get smuggled across the Channel. The ‘Conservatives’ proposed unspecified billions to beef up Britain’s ‘border security’ (which had never been known to keep out a single £10K-fee-paying immigrant who expected to recoup his investment within a year from Britain’s ‘welfare state’); and the wretches of the dismal and discredited NuLabour government announced they would actually pay £15M to the French to try to induce and enable them to identify the jungly would-be immigrants (all of whom could be identified for 1p each using a torch) (BNP, 7 vii). The idea of recruiting all unwanted immigrants into a TaskForce for Africa had evidently not occurred to the country’s jaded humourists.
RACE REALISM FOR CHINA
The learning curve for Chinese Communists steepened as Urumchi airport was packed with fleeing Uighurs, Han mobs protested at soldiers arresting young men attacking Muslim Uighurs and their property, a thousand headscarved Uighur women threatened suicide over their husbands’ detention and Chinese President Hu Jintao had to rush back from his G8 dalliance with Berlusconi’s babes to get a grip on soaring ethnic animosity (Reuters, 8 vii). In Urumchi, Li Yufang, a Han who owned a clothes store, told journalists he was outraged by what had happened over the weekend and wanted to protest again, although he admitted it would be hard amid the heavy presence of troops. "Uighurs are spoiled like pandas,” he said. “When they steal, rob, rape or kill, they can get away with it. If we Han did the same thing, we'd be executed."
China's chief police officer, Meng Jianzhu, state councilor and public security minister, urged no leniency in the punishment and re-education of separatist-organized Uighur “thugs” who took part in the Urumqi riot and who would be executed. India’s business newspaper, LiveMint, took the opportunity “to remind colleagues in Beijing that the route to jihad lies through the old Silk Road”; and added “Perhaps, in more perceptive moments, Beijing will realize the dubious role of countries such as {China’s long-standing ‘ally’} Pakistan in spreading unrest in the region.”
Meanwhile Beijing poured in another 20,000 police and soldiers and vowed to execute the killers; and journalists confirmed that most of the early 140 dead had been Han (possibly killed after government forces opened fire on Uighur protesters). But the trouble would come as Uighurs fleeing to the countryside and southern cities (Hotan, Kashgar) provoked their eight million coreligionists to turn on the Han, who were distinctly in the minority outside Urumchi in a province that was thirty times the size of Scotland.
Hundreds protested in Ankara, Turkey, demanding “Stop China!” {The Chinese authorities must have been regretting they had not clamped down earlier on Uighur uppitiness and rapism. Instead, they had adopted Western multicultural lingo and allowed Uighurs ‘universities’ where no Mandarin need be spoken – rather like in Britain’s peecee ‘universities’ where, by the 1990s, English grammar and punctuation and free speech had become relics of the past.}
{For China’s main ethnic groups, see Washington Post, 8 vii. Uighurs made up a half of China’s Muslims. There had once been a Uighur area of Beijing, famed for its exotic fare, grapes, melons, drug dealing and crime; but it had been demolished in the course of Beijing’s modernization. Understandably, AmRen correspondents were divided on the Wiggers vs Chinks issue – and startlingly unlikely to appeal to IQ as the decider (6 vii).}
WACKO FARCE COULDN’T LAST
As White-skinned, white-gloved, White-kidded, boy-bedding and monkey-loving ‘Black’ Michael Jackson was given a private funeral attended almost exclusively by Blacks, fans (including many pathetic Black-worshipping Whites) had to learn that MJ, despite his occasional protestations of Mohammedanism (and use of bodyguards from the Nation of Islam), actually died a Jehovah’s Witness, believing with his family that he and his co-religionists alone would go to heaven and that almost all of his fans would fry in hell. Just when even the dullest of the King of PaedoPop’s followers would realize they had been conned became a matter of keen speculation.
FINANCIAL TIMES JOURNALIST BACKS ENOCH – AND EVEN GIVES BNP A QUICK CUDDLE
The BNP was understandably cock-a-hoop (8 vii) to discover a Harvard-educated senior American journalist (esp. at Weekly Standard) and contributor to the London Review of Books (e.g. 9 vii) and to London’s top paper, the Financial Times (e.g. 3 vii – elegantly analysing and complaining about ‘affirmative action’), who had published (with celebrated Penguin Books [Allen Lane]) Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West* which took seriously the Muesli challenge to the West’s Christianity, liberalism and socialism. However, while it was nice to think of the BNP coming out for liberalism as it lately had for Christianity, it had to be said that Christopher Caldwell’s informed and judicious warnings (e.g. FT, 26 vi 2009) could equally serve rightist backers of the family (as against homosexuality, on-line gambling, pornography, compulsory sex education, a 50% divorce rate, humanitarian ‘interventions’ [i.e. wars], dumbed-down schools, the ensaintment of Blacks, welfare dependency and state spending) a demonstration that there could well be something to be said for Islam after all.
As Caldwell himself wrote: “It is certain that Europe will emerge changed from its confrontation with Islam. It is far less certain that Islam will prove assimilable' since 'when an insecure, malleable, relativistic culture meets a culture that is anchored, confident, and strengthened by common doctrines, it is generally the former that changes to suit the latter.” And Caldwell’s coquettishness towards the BNP extended to only one mention of the party in his new book – for he wanted to say that most European ‘fascist’ parties were not anti-Islam, so as not to tar his own reservations about Islam prematurely with the fascist brush.

‘UNMENTIONABLE CRIMES’ – THAT’S SEVEN YEARS IN JAIL!
In a new low for British ‘justice,’ jail sentences of five and two years respectively were handed down by Leeds Crown Court to race stirrers, graduates (in maths and languages) Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle (see earlier), for online uploadings in America of criticisms of Jews and other minorities which the wholly peecee BBC said involved “language and racial slurs” so awful that it could not bring itself to tell the British public exactly what had been written by the pair (10 vii). Judge Rodney Grant said the material was "abusive and insulting" and could cause "grave social harm." (More helpfully for students of the ever-more-bizarre state of English ‘law,’ anti-anti-Semite Denis McShane MP had been allowed to tell Spectator readers that the term “kike vermin” had been used (11 x).)
As with reporting of paedophilia, the British press, despite having had eighteen months to gather details of the pair’s motivations, to examine their claim for asylum in America,* to assess the accuracy of their claims (e.g. that Blacks were inferior in intelligence and inclined to violent crime, and that it was the Jews who had invented multiculturalism) and to find out whether any actual harm had arisen from the published material provided not the slightest detail that would be of interest to experts, students, race realists or race relations quangons alike. Nor, needless to say, did the peecee press do anything to examine or explain the superficially strange statement by the lady solicitor for Whittle (aka Luke O’Farrell) that he himself had come to feel “shocked” by the “nasty and unacceptable” things which he had written.
{Such was the peecee police state which Labour (with assistance from its ‘anti-fascist’ shock troops and from cowardice on the part of ‘Conservatives’) had contrived in the years since the first Race Relations Act (1965). One could only wish the northern naughties a happy time in taxpayer-funded prison where they could concentrate on Shakespeare, Dryden, Dickens and Pound and avoid the interminable strangulated pieties of the Beeb.
After the sentencing, a Labour bureaucrat with the fine old Britoid name of Adil Khan, “head of diversity and community cohesion at Humberside Police,” said: "This case is groundbreaking. The sentences reflect the gravity of the offences and send a very clear message there is nowhere to hide for people who do this." The Times, Telegraph, Express and Mail did not consider it worth their while to do more than note the handing down of seven-year prison stretches for jocular Jew-baiting.** One could only hope that the perpetrators and tolerators of this Labour-wreaked illiberalism would themselves one day be brought to justice.}
* Ironically, if the pair had not claimed asylum with an airport official when escaping via Éireland to Los Angeles and instead walked off into the USA and then found themselves an asylum lawyer, they would probably have ended up living free in California. Such is ‘law’ in the Anglosphere. Hopefully Sheppard and Whittle did not themselves spend a penny of their own money exploring this legal maze.
** One of the score of sympathetic correspondents at AmRen (10 vii) wrote: “Great Britain is simply no longer a free country. In Victorian times one couldn’t discuss sex. In today’s Britain it is the issue of race. I was immediately taken by the fact there was no place to leave a comment on any of this in the British stories.”

Faced with massive ‘Camp of the Saints’-style invasion from Africa and a comparable influx of E.U.-blessed Romanian gypsies, Italy took new legal powers to return all non-agreed immigrants, to punish Italians who assisted such illegals, and to build more steel walls to segregate unruly immigrants (e.g. in the left-run city of Padua) (BNP, 3 vii).
{The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, threw in his own two-penn’orth by suggesting the boats be sunk – his ‘intemperate’ comment perhaps explaining why other ‘far right’ groups in the European Parliament had declined to go into what would have been a money-making alliance with the BNP.}
TRAITOROUS JOURNALISTS
The extent of peecee infiltration in Britain was given a visual aid as even the (generally right-of-centre paedophile-bashing tabloid, though maintaining a hotline to wymmin) Daily Mail chose to illustrate Britain’s growing problem of forced marriages with an entirely misleading picture of a White bride and groom (2 vii).
MUESLI-CHINK PACT BREAKS DOWN
After years of the Chinese pretending to be a Muesli-loving and third-world-sympathizing country – while grabbing minerals from Africa – they found themselves up against lowish-IQ Muesli fury in the Sinkiang capital of Ürümqi (about 2.5M, the same size as Greater Glasgow) where hundreds of homes, cars and people suffered damage and at least 200 died. I told a Kansas supporter:
” I have long thought the Chinese arrangements re copyright a model of libertarianism which we should emulate. Likewise in China you can criticize Catholicism, Japs, nignogs, Tibetans, Taiwanese, Mueslis, Falun Gong, paedohysteria etc. -- just so long as you don't criticise the Gummint. Now that Uighur vs Han things are kicking off in Sinkiang (See here and here), I imagine we will soon be glad that the Chinks are killing far more Mueslis than we managed in Eyeraq and Afghaniland. The Chinks seem set to get the West’s chestnuts out of the fire vs Mueslis, just as the Russkies did 1941ff. vs the similarly unreliable Hun (or at least Hitler).”
It was important to observe that mineral- and gas-rich Sinkiang (aka Xinjiang Province) had been massively colonized by the Han Chinese since 1945, especially its capital of Urumchi (Urumqi), so a full-blown civil war among Sinkiang’s 18M people probably lay ahead. At last the West, in its 20-year long battle with Muesli fanatics, had some high-IQ and hard-fighting friends – though many Europeans would be tempted to criticize Chinese ‘authoritarianism’ and the 1948 Nato Alliance obliged the West to defend Turkey if it were attacked by China. (Also, Americal liberals seemed set to be shocked by China: the Huffington Post observed (6 vii) “The Bush administration's blind haste to launch a global war on terrorism provided Beijing with the ultimate excuse to crackdown on the Uyghurs. China's pledge of support for the U.S. campaign was secured by having our State Department place an obscure Uyghur group on the watch list of global terrorist organizations. In one fell swoop Washington blessed Han Chinese racism and granted Beijing a license to hunt Uyghurs at will.”)
Crowds of Uighur protesters about perhaps scores (some said hundreds) of Uighur and Han dead and injured at a South China toy factory (in Guangdong Province, after two Uighurs had been blamed for rapes), found their way blocked by armed riot police and proceeded to turn on Han people spied in buses and shops. Bloggers said over 100 buses were destroyed. This was the largest Uighur (a Turkic group) vs Han clash since 1997. In Peking, authorities blamed the violence on “separatists” living outside China and closed down the internet and Twitter in Sinkiang. Especially blamed was Ms Rebiya Kadeer, a successful Uighur businesswoman, and a member of China’s National People’s Congress, who had been jailed for nearly six years as a political dissident and had then gone into exile in the United States. (Rebiya Kadeer had published a book, Dragon Fighter, to which the Dalai Llama had contributed a Foreword.)

E.LU. MANAGERS RUN AMOK
Concerned to sell tee-shirts and comparable E.LU.-branded kitsch, E.LU.’s commercial arm used its glossy office on the highly visible ground floor of the LUniversity’s spanking new ‘Infomatics’ building abutting George Square to advertise (on a mega-sized flat screen TV) an aphorism of E.LU.’s star student, Charles Darwin (who had sat c. 1828 at the feet of top surgeon-professor Robert Knox, the race realist – eventual author of Race -- who had distantly tolerated if not actually organized the LUniversity’s collection of corpses from the like of Burke and Hare for study by its thanks-to-him thronging medical students): “[there is] one general law leading to the advancement of all organic beings – namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.”* Would E.LU.’s managers, to whom this sentiment evidently appealed without qualification (as to the nature of the environment or of the precise prevailing inter-species competition), take responsibility for heart attacks striking down passing sociologists and kindred lefties?
* 1859, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, Chapter VIII, ‘Instinct.’
EUGENICS, HERE WE COME!
While lefties were still stuck in the groove of opposing ‘Hitlerian’ eugenics (as in The Cattell Controversy – review to follow in the autumn), the Bridge Clinic in London announced it had karyomapping procedures which would allow the destruction of all inherited genetically defective embryos – so long as prospective parents paid £2K to use IVF procedures (Daily Telegraph, 1 vii; Times, 1 vii).
RACE-SUICIDE EXPOSED
The West’s death wish – orchestrated by its employers, politicians, bureaucrats and ‘human rights’ lawyers – was exposed in new OECD figures revealing that most newly created jobs of the previous five years had gone to immigrants – with the UK figure being 71% (though thankfully involving an especial surfeit of Indian boys [and hopefully girls] brought in to meet Britain’s IT needs) (BNP, 1 vii).
SLAVE-LABOUR ‘MULTICULTI BRITAIN’ EXPOSED
The true nature of Lib/Lab/Con-created Britain was revealed as figures showed that, since 1997, 72% of the new 1.1M public-sector jobs had gone to Brits, whereas 85% of the new 1.8M private-sector jobs had gone to non-Brits (Daily Telegraph, 28 vi). Evidently the socialist/socialized state sector was as much a fief of the new non-discrimination-talking ‘Church of England’ as had been the old pre-1870 state sector (for access to jobs in which, subscription to the CofE piety of the day had been nigh-on essential). ‘Multicultural Britain’ was nothing but a gigantic Labour farce, providing state jobs for lip-serving if not Labour-loving Brits (mainly Anglo-Saxon or Gaelic) while harvesting the slave labour and votes of non-English-speaking riff-raff from Europe’s borders.
ARYANS TO BE PROUD OF
As India’s Supreme Court began an unlikely attempt to imposed homosexualism on the country by fiat from Delhi, the magazine Outlook provided a reminder that India was still a bastion of race realism, especially about Blacks (1 vii). Prakash C. Jain, a professor at the Jahmnpunkawalla Nehru University in Delhi, who had studied the Indian diaspora in Africa, said there had been an “undercurrent of racism” between people of Indian origin and Africans in Africa. Traditionally, most Indians limited social interaction with Africans and stayed in separate housing estates. Intermarriage was practically non-existent in South Africa, with just 57 instances from the pre-World War II era to the ’60s, he pointed out. For T.K. Oommen, emeritus professor of sociology at Jahwalar Nehru University, racism combined elements of “culturalism” and “ethnicism”. So there was the broad, implicit and very prevalent idea that Africans are culturally and ethnically inferior to Indians. “Indians have always made such distinctions. Look at the Shiv Sena that targets non-Maharashtrians or the Lachit Sena that targeted non-Assamese,” he said.
NIGAZ WID LOLLY
As Russia began a colossal investment in pumping Nigerian gas, its state-owned ‘Nigaz’ company caused quite a stir in the online community – but not apparently among greedy Nigerian officials who had blessed the plan through without even noticing the howler (AmRen, 1 vii). ["Lolly" is old British slang for money -- JR]
ENVIRONMENTALUNACY ADMITTED
Britain’s Labour Government announced it would call off its demands for state primary schools to reach universal standards in literacy and arithmetic – these ludicrous undifferentiating targets had been among the first announcements by Rev. Bliar when he became Prime Minister in 1997 with his slogan of “Education! Education! Education!” so this was a unique reverse for neosocialist lunacy. {Educational targets are inevitably meaningless unless IQ is used as a baseline.}
However, showing its continuing underlying madness, the Government announced a programme of examining, licencing and re-examing at 5-year intervals Britain exhausted state teachers (BBC News, 30 vi). Furthermore, ‘successful’ heads would be paid extra to poke their noses into other schools in their area – from which the Government expected improvements in pupil attainment since it was quite unable to acknowledge that ‘successful’ schools were {by its own IQ-neglectful criteria} chiefly characterized by high pupil IQ. Yet more money was to be borrowed from future generations to supply failing children with personal “tutors” – for Labour had never accepted thirty-six years of evidence (first mentioned in Hans Eysenck’s The Inequality of Man, 1973) that smaller class sizes are not causal to pupil success.
AFTER TRILLION-DOLLAR EXPENDITURE ON ‘DEMOCRACY,’ UNCERTAINTY REIGNS
As the US Army followed the Brits in beating its retreat from Iraq, the question that remained, as for the previous six years since the initially successful Anglo-American invasion, was whether a brutal Saddam-style tyranny could be re-established by Western stooge Nouri al-Maliki or whether the country would break up bloodily into its natural ethnic groups (the main ones being Turds, Shitites and SoLunnis). All that HMG’s best supporter, the Guardian (James Denselow, 30 vi), could say after half-a-million Bush/Blair/Brown-caused deaths and trillion-dollar bills for American and British taxpayers was that “As ever in Iraq, uncertainty is the only certainty.”
SUPREME COURT BACKS TESTING DESPITE DISFAVOURING BLACKS
The US Supreme Court voted 5-4 that Newhaven, Connecticut, had acted unfairly in choosing to ignore test evidence showing White firefighters were more qualified for promotion than Blacks (Guardian, 29 vi; Times, 30 vi). The case centred on a firefighters lieutenants’ exam in 2003. After no African-Americans scored high enough to warrant a promotion, the city’s civil service board rejected the results and decided against any immediate promotions (i.e. of the 18 Whites who had passed). {However the verdict was set to be the last of its kind as an Obarmy nominee to the Court, Hispanic Judge Sonia Sotomayor – who had backed Newhaven when the case came before a lower court – progressed through confirmation hearings in Washington. The new verdict gave ammunition to Republicans challenging Sotomayor as being a ‘reverse racist; but party loyalty would likely see OSambo-backing Democrats prevail.}

Some history.
-----------------------------------
Concerned to sell tee-shirts and comparable E.LU.-branded kitsch, E.LU.’s commercial arm used its glossy office on the highly visible ground floor of the LUniversity’s spanking new ‘Infomatics’ building abutting George Square to advertise (on a mega-sized flat screen TV) an aphorism of E.LU.’s star student, Charles Darwin (who had sat c. 1828 at the feet of top surgeon-professor Robert Knox, the race realist – eventual author of Race -- who had distantly tolerated if not actually organized the LUniversity’s collection of corpses from the like of Burke and Hare for study by its thanks-to-him thronging medical students): “[there is] one general law leading to the advancement of all organic beings – namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.”* Would E.LU.’s managers, to whom this sentiment evidently appealed without qualification (as to the nature of the environment or of the precise prevailing inter-species competition), take responsibility for heart attacks striking down passing sociologists and kindred lefties?
* 1859, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, Chapter VIII, ‘Instinct.’
EUGENICS, HERE WE COME!
While lefties were still stuck in the groove of opposing ‘Hitlerian’ eugenics (as in The Cattell Controversy – review to follow in the autumn), the Bridge Clinic in London announced it had karyomapping procedures which would allow the destruction of all inherited genetically defective embryos – so long as prospective parents paid £2K to use IVF procedures (Daily Telegraph, 1 vii; Times, 1 vii).
RACE-SUICIDE EXPOSED
The West’s death wish – orchestrated by its employers, politicians, bureaucrats and ‘human rights’ lawyers – was exposed in new OECD figures revealing that most newly created jobs of the previous five years had gone to immigrants – with the UK figure being 71% (though thankfully involving an especial surfeit of Indian boys [and hopefully girls] brought in to meet Britain’s IT needs) (BNP, 1 vii).
SLAVE-LABOUR ‘MULTICULTI BRITAIN’ EXPOSED
The true nature of Lib/Lab/Con-created Britain was revealed as figures showed that, since 1997, 72% of the new 1.1M public-sector jobs had gone to Brits, whereas 85% of the new 1.8M private-sector jobs had gone to non-Brits (Daily Telegraph, 28 vi). Evidently the socialist/socialized state sector was as much a fief of the new non-discrimination-talking ‘Church of England’ as had been the old pre-1870 state sector (for access to jobs in which, subscription to the CofE piety of the day had been nigh-on essential). ‘Multicultural Britain’ was nothing but a gigantic Labour farce, providing state jobs for lip-serving if not Labour-loving Brits (mainly Anglo-Saxon or Gaelic) while harvesting the slave labour and votes of non-English-speaking riff-raff from Europe’s borders.
ARYANS TO BE PROUD OF
As India’s Supreme Court began an unlikely attempt to imposed homosexualism on the country by fiat from Delhi, the magazine Outlook provided a reminder that India was still a bastion of race realism, especially about Blacks (1 vii). Prakash C. Jain, a professor at the Jahmnpunkawalla Nehru University in Delhi, who had studied the Indian diaspora in Africa, said there had been an “undercurrent of racism” between people of Indian origin and Africans in Africa. Traditionally, most Indians limited social interaction with Africans and stayed in separate housing estates. Intermarriage was practically non-existent in South Africa, with just 57 instances from the pre-World War II era to the ’60s, he pointed out. For T.K. Oommen, emeritus professor of sociology at Jahwalar Nehru University, racism combined elements of “culturalism” and “ethnicism”. So there was the broad, implicit and very prevalent idea that Africans are culturally and ethnically inferior to Indians. “Indians have always made such distinctions. Look at the Shiv Sena that targets non-Maharashtrians or the Lachit Sena that targeted non-Assamese,” he said.

THIRD-WORLD IMMIGRATION OPPOSED
A fine article detailing Labour’s issuing work permits galore to third-worldies and then citizenship rights to their illiterate wives was published (at long last – thanks, BNP!) by former Torygraph editor Max Hastings: Daily Mail, 15 vi.
LUDICROUS WEST
As brave Iranian modernizers took to the streets of Teheran in their scores of thousands, suffering tear gas, beatings and killings by mad ayatollahs and their motor-cycling ‘basiji’ thugs, Britain and America – consumed by White guilt, idealistic multiculturalism and incompetence -- failed to release their 2½ million prisoners to help the rebels. Instead of using its shock troops, the West preferred to keep its testosterone-fuelled criminals – many of them Black – in broadband- porn- and cocaine-served jails at individual costs of £100Kp.a. when they could instead have been parachuted into Iran. As the rotted corpses of British hostages were delivered to the UK Foreign Office from Iraq, the pathetic ‘Foreign Secretary’ schoolboy Milliband announced not a policy of destroying one mosque per captive week (and five mosques per death) but only his social-worky sympathy for the pain of the grieving relatives.
OUTSPEAKERS EXPOSE US/UK PEECEE TYRANNY
High-g and jocular anti-Semites Stephen Whittle and Simon Sheppard (see earlier) re-emerged in orange jumpsuits in Leeds after a year of confinement in the USA as they unavailingly sought asylum from British Labour-arranged persecution of ‘hate speech’ (Daily Mail, 17 vi; Yorkshire Evening Post, 18 vi). Apparatchik ‘Judge’ Rodney Grant told them ‘prison is at the forefront of my mind’; but he would wait for a month for condemnatory ‘pre-sentence reports’ from British ‘liberal’-left social workers.
Adrian Davies, for Whittle, said he had "substantial mitigation" because he came back to the UK voluntarily after the US authorities gave him the option of travelling to New Zealand instead. Pony-tailed Whittle, who nonchalantly read a book in the dock, had contributed to Sheppard's website, which featured ‘offensive’ Holohoax’ material.
ITALIAN HALF-BLACK MAYORESS SLAMS IMMIGRATION
While Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi busied himself defending his babe-bagging, he was joined in his populist anti-illegal immigrant policies by a newly elected mayoress of a northern town on the Swiss border. Sandy Cane, 47, had stood for the right-wing Northern League (which doubled its vote in the elections to the European Parliament) though herself the daughter of a Black American soldier from Massachusetts (Daily Telegraph, 11 vi).
‘RACISM’ AND ‘SEXISM’ TRUMP LABOUR LOYALTY
Salford University lecturer Gary Duke, 24, found himself suspended and facing disciplinary charges after he put out leaflets excoriating the management style of one particular bossperson, apparently a Black female and, like himself, a student. Duke had been leading protests by the University and Collegue Union against 150 proposed job losses at the university and found himself unprotected by being a sociologist writing a thesis on the Labour Movement (Manchester Evening News, 19 vi).
BLACK GANG RAPISM ADMITTED
Unusually, the left-leaning Independent newspaper admitted the special interest of Blacks in gang-raping young girls, with non-Whites accounting for 85% of such beastliness even in still-White-majority London (Sorious Samoura [apparently a Black, from Sierra Leone], 21 vi):
One of the few police forces to have begun recording the figures of reported gang rape is the Metropolitan Police. In 2008 alone, they received reports of 85 gang rapes. Using the Met's definition of gang rape – those involving three or more perpetrators – we began to look at the number of convictions. We tracked down 29 cases, from January 2006 to March 2009, in which a total of 92 young people were convicted of involvement in gang rape.
One fact stood out. Of those convicted, 66 were black or mixed race, 13 were white and the remainder were from other countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
Clearly this is not a crime exclusive to black communities, but I found it impossible to ignore the fact that such a high proportion were committed by black and mixed-race young men.
LEFT ADMITS (SOME) ‘ROMA’ PROBLEMS
As three arrests were made in Belfast in connection with attacks on Roma gypsies (mendaciously called ‘Romanians’ by the BBC), and as a few more attacks occurred in an outlying village, the Guardian – while not mentioning Roma illiteracy rates of 60% -- said that Roma unemployment was 70% and that Roma had the Grauniadista-shocking habit of forcing their girls into marriage as young as 12 (Robert Fox, 22 vi).
Spurning the hundreds of multicultiloons who had lined up to support them, most of the gypsies themselves decided to go home – doubtless helped to this decision by the church which had given them sanctuary having its windows smashed, and certainly assisted by free flights provided by UK taxpayers (Times, 23 vi – where correspondents were largely realistic about the special problems of thievery and welfare-dependency posed by Roma; BBC 24 vi – which reckoned the widely feared and despised Roma, ‘Romania’s curse,’ might be 5% of Romania’s population).
LABOUR LOONS’ SUICIDE NOTE
Faced with an irate Britain, Labour MPs decided to put up the two fingers to the electorate and replace shamed semi-literate Labourite Speaker Martin with fast-moving opportunist Finchley-Jewish homosexualist, ex-Monday Clubber John Bercow who had a six-inches-taller Labour-backing wife, the de rigeur autistic son and a penchant for amateur dramatics.
Pathetic ‘Conservatives’ sat on their hands rather than welcome the new Speaker – historically supposed to be supported by the whole House of Commons, but in this case elected by a mere 320 votes, as against his main opponent’s 270, Conservatives having failed to arrange a decent voting system for this flagship office.
Diminutive homosexual ‘Conservative’ MP, the ex-Oxford[St John’s College] and -Harvard Alan Duncan, the Conservatives’ version of prancing ‘Lord’ Mandy Mandelson, was subsequently wheeled out to appeal for more ‘respect’ for the new Speaker from Conservative MPs – only three of whom were thought [esp. by the Conservatives’ only looker, just remotely, Nadine Dorries], to have voted for the unlikely-named Jercov.
A London supporter wrote:
"By electing Bercow, the Commons has chosen a Speaker who is badly tainted by the expenses scandal, a strong supporter of secrecy over MPs expenses, a fawning supporter of the outgoing Speaker Gorbals Mick and someone who wishes to keep the exterminated Speaker's pension. . In addition he commands no support from his own Party, a quite extraordinary thing, and is widely disliked across the House on a personal level if one can believe the media accounts. Just the Speaker to reform the Commons!"
There is also his extraordinary ideological shift from Monday Club stalwart to cringing Blairite wet, a shift which began when he was almost 40. It is one thing to believe one thing in your teens and then reverse your position, quite another to do so in middle age. A ‘man without principle’ is a reasonable judgement.
Altogether it was clear that Jercov should resign and call a fresh election in which the winner would need to draw at least 25% of his votes from parties other than his own. Ideally, the Conservatives would cease to talk in the Commons until Jercov was shamed into doing this.
Top Telegraph columnist Simon Heffer joined Nadine Dorries in deploring Labour’s frivolity and contempt for the British people – comparing Bercow’s election to that of Caligula’s horse (23 vi). For the usually establishment-backing Times, Rachel Sylvester said Bercow’s election “showed the Commons at its worst” and her 51 first correspondents overwhelmingly agreed (some calling for mass demonstrations, revolution and for the Speaker to be directly elected by the people (23 vi). Unusually, Tory frontbencher, Shadow Defence Spokesman Liam Fox said Burqo was “not the right man for the job.” And even the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland declared the result a “discouraging” sign of the Commons ignoring national anger and returning to ‘political games as usual’ (23 vi).
See various comments HERE, here and here and here.
BNP ‘RACIST’ – LIKE IT OR NOT
Fresh from its electoral success (winning two MEP seats), the British National Party, which had for several years decided to deny ‘racism,’ found itself queried by the ‘liberal’-left enforcer, the top-funded Equality and Human Rights Commission, about its policy of not allowing non-White members (Daily Mail, 23 vi). An answer was due by July 21 – and would presumably be {as I had long advised} that the party would in future be open to all Britons of passable integration {having English, degrees, cricket, rugby, jobs, bank accounts or marriages….}; but, initially, Leader Nick Griffin was inclined to hope the BNP, as a democratic, electorate-chosen party might be to some extent immune from Labour’s tyrannous race relations ‘laws’ – for the Race Relations Act apparently had clauses [25, 26] exempting from prosecution ‘exclusively ethnic organizations’ with memberships of 50 or more (23 vi). The Party also faced legal challenges that it might be discriminating in employment and in the service offered to constituents (Sun, 24 vi).
Meantime, things got as good as they ever did for the BNP in Britain’s ‘right-wing’ press, with ‘high life’ columnist ‘Taki’ giving Speccie readers a little race realism (23 vi):
Politicians keep lying about crime in Britain, as they lie about everything else. The fatal stabbing of an innocent 16-year-old by three subhuman thugs who postured threateningly in court is a perfect example. The three killers are all sons of African immigrants, their sink-estate patois and arrogance indicative of this government’s total failure in rooting out the causes of crime. What is ironic is that in a best-selling tabloid decrying the murder of the innocent 16-year-old, the following story was about the evils of the BNP.
Perhaps because I’ve been away [from London] for a year, I have missed something. Has the BNP been killing innocent 16-year-olds? Is that why moronic columnists are pushing the alarm bells against the party? I have not as yet met one person who is poor and struggling who has not expressed contempt for open borders and unlimited immigration. Things the BNP stands for, along with some other not so nice things. I’ve said it before and will say it until this column is terminated. Politicians will treat the electorate with contempt until we throw them out of office the moment they go back on their word. Cameron is wet and an absolute w***** who speaks with a forked tongue.
FRANCE TO CHALLENGE MUSLIMS
Tiny Jewish French President Nicholas Sarkozy took a step towards reining in France’s five million Mueslis as he put his weight behind proposals for a six-month parliamentary commission to consider banning what he called the “debasing” burka (burqa) by which Muesli husbands asserted their dominance over their wives and shielded them from the sexual attentions of other males (Daily Mirror, 23 vi).
In Britain, Liberal Democrat MP Chris Davies urged the burka be discouraged (Blackburn Citizen, 24 vi). The Speccie’s Rod Liddle found this authoritarian (25 vi) – rather forgetting the authoritarian suppression of free speech about Mueslis that successive Labour governments had already arranged (with precious little opposition from ‘Conservatives’) and to which banning the burka was an obvious and understandable if low-IQ response.
PAEDOHYSTERIA PRICKED
Paedophilic downloaders may largely be the victims of credit card fraud: their card numbers are stolen as they visit ordinary porn sites, then subsequently they dare not complain when their numbers are used to download kiddieporn. Such was the brave claim of Sunday Torygraph columnist Alasdair Palmer (21 vi) – brave since police routinely accuse those who interfere with their paedohysterical sleuthing as being paedophiles themselves.
A London correspondent writes: It is very difficult indeed to prove identity theft or that material has been placed on your computer without your knowledge, either directly or remotely.
CENSORED BRITAIN
It took five years for it to emerge that a 32-year-old teacherette (race and name unknown ‘for legal reasons’) had been raped at Westminster City School, within hours of taking up her position, by a half-Black, 15-year-old, Dwayne Best, who had previously sexually assaulted a school cleaner and who was subsequently jailed for life (Sun, 24 vi). The woman, who never returned to teaching, eventually achieved out-of-court compensation from the school, which had failed to warn her not to be alone with the hefty dreadlock-haired half-Black.
FROM PEECEE PILLAR TO PEECEE POST
Top American fashion house Abercrombie & Fitch, of Savile Row, which had let itself be bullied into taking on Blacks in adverts and front-of-house jobs, found itself hauled before an Employment Tribunal where (pretty) law student Riam Dean sought £20K because it had asked her to work in its stock room (instead of front-of-house) until its supply of winter uniforms arrived which would enable covering of her prosthetic left forearm – needed because of a birth defect, so the ‘distressed’ Miss Dean threw in a charge of “practising eugenics” for good measure (Daily Express, 24 vi).
BROWN BEAR BAITED TO EXHAUSTION
Hope flickered into life for British politics as punch-drunk PM Papa Broon, in a last stand as King Cong, was outclassed in the Commons by Daft Dave Shameron, raising hopes of an early General Election and the laying to rest of the Labour Party. The Indie’s Simon Carr recorded the mesmerizing scene (25 vi):
Cameron slaughtered the old bruiser. Speaker Bercow had called (to some laughter) for a quiet, rational debate. That mended some fences with the Tories because quiet debate ruins the Prime Minister.
Quietly, Cameron kept coming back to the question of a central deception: how come Gordon's capital spending keeps going up, but the Government's Budget has capital spending going sharply down?
The Prime Minister roared. He babbled figures. He denounced Tory cuts to capital spending. He denied Labour cuts, then confirmed them, then denied his confirmation then post-denied his pre-confirmation. At least we understood what was happening to capital spending. It's going up. And down.
Labour rank and file looked on astounded. Their man had collapsed in front of their eyes. It was one long "Obama Beach" (as he'd called Omaha Beach, in front of the US President during the recent D-Day celebrations). He tried to say Ombudsman, he said Osborneman. He tried to say "the Polish Law and Order party" but he said "department". He tried to say Labour didn't believe in cuts, but he said Tories didn't believe in cuts. His figures came out backwards – in one data stream, spending rose between "1998 and 1992".
ALL FORGIVEN AS (BLACK!) PAEDOSAINT SNUFFS IT
As top pop star Saint Michael Jackson went decrepitudinously to an early grave at 50, after years of facial surgery, pain killer abuse (drugs administered by a Black, ‘Dr Conrad Murray’) and non-admitted paedophilia (usually with White kids, freely admitted by Jackson to share his bed for ‘beautiful’ times – World Net Daily, 4 ii 2003), the world’s media put all other news on hold for a day because he had been a Black man – largely forgetting that his increasingly grisly surgery had been intended to make him look like a White woman and that he had pretended to have fathered three children, all of whom were actually White and had to be kept perpetually under blankets so their skin colour would not upset Michael’s fans. Rather than criticize his criminal offences and perversities, President Saint Obama described Michael’s (un-named) problematic pursuits -- which would have seen any comparable White jailed for life -- as just “tragic.” A charmed – if bankrupted (one boy alone was paid £12M to settle an accusation of Michael’s kiddiefumbling) – life and media-assisted death!
PAEDOHYSTERIA CONFRONTED
It turned out that former Temple University psychologist Bruce Rind had been trying for four years, along with several academic colleagues (mainly classicists), to publish an article sympathetic to paedophilic relationships in Ancient Greece – only to find themselves frustrated at every turn by ‘publishers,’ most lately Taylor & Francis (Inside HigherEd, 12 vi;Times Higher, 24 vi).
ENVIRONMENTALUNACY ADMITTED
Britain’s Labour Government announced it would call off its demands for state primary schools to reach universal standards in literacy and arithmetic – these ludicrous undifferentiating targets had been among the first announcements by Rev. Bliar when he became Prime Minister in 1997 with his slogan of “Education! Education! Education!” so this was a unique reverse for neosocialist lunacy. {Educational targets are inevitably meaningless unless IQ is used as a baseline.}

Altogether it was clear that Jercov should resign and call a fresh election in which the winner would need to draw at least 25% of his votes from parties other than his own. Ideally, the Conservatives would cease to talk in the Commons until Jercov was shamed into doing this.
Top Telegraph columnist Simon Heffer joined Nadine Dorries in deploring Labour’s frivolity and contempt for the British people – comparing Bercow’s election to that of Caligula’s horse (23 vi). For the usually establishment-backing Times, Rachel Sylvester said Bercow’s election “showed the Commons at its worst” and her 51 first correspondents overwhelmingly agreed (some calling for mass demonstrations, revolution and for the Speaker to be directly elected by the people (23 vi). Unusually, Tory frontbencher, Shadow Defence Spokesman Liam Fox said Burqo was “not the right man for the job.” And even the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland declared the result a “discouraging” sign of the Commons ignoring national anger and returning to ‘political games as usual’ (23 vi).

BNP ‘RACIST’ – LIKE IT OR NOT
Fresh from its electoral success (winning two MEP seats), the British National Party, which had for several years decided to deny ‘racism,’ found itself queried by the ‘liberal’-left enforcer, the top-funded Equality and Human Rights Commission, about its policy of not allowing non-White members (Daily Mail, 23 vi). An answer was due by July 21 – and would presumably be {as I had long advised} that the party would in future be open to all Britons of passable integration {having English, degrees, cricket, rugby, jobs, bank accounts or marriages….}; but, initially, Leader Nick Griffin was inclined to hope the BNP, as a democratic, electorate-chosen party might be to some extent immune from Labour’s tyrannous race relations ‘laws’ – for the Race Relations Act apparently had clauses [25, 26] exempting from prosecution ‘exclusively ethnic organizations’ with memberships of 50 or more (23 vi). The Party also faced legal challenges that it might be discriminating in employment and in the service offered to constituents (Sun, 24 vi).
Meantime, things got as good as they ever did for the BNP in Britain’s ‘right-wing’ press, with ‘high life’ columnist ‘Taki’ giving Speccie readers a little race realism (23 vi):
Politicians keep lying about crime in Britain, as they lie about everything else. The fatal stabbing of an innocent 16-year-old by three subhuman thugs who postured threateningly in court is a perfect example. The three killers are all sons of African immigrants, their sink-estate patois and arrogance indicative of this government’s total failure in rooting out the causes of crime. What is ironic is that in a best-selling tabloid decrying the murder of the innocent 16-year-old, the following story was about the evils of the BNP.
Perhaps because I’ve been away [from London] for a year, I have missed something. Has the BNP been killing innocent 16-year-olds? Is that why moronic columnists are pushing the alarm bells against the party? I have not as yet met one person who is poor and struggling who has not expressed contempt for open borders and unlimited immigration. Things the BNP stands for, along with some other not so nice things. I’ve said it before and will say it until this column is terminated. Politicians will treat the electorate with contempt until we throw them out of office the moment they go back on their word. Cameron is wet and an absolute w***** who speaks with a forked tongue.
FRANCE TO CHALLENGE MUSLIMS
Tiny Jewish French President Nicholas Sarkozy took a step towards reining in France’s five million Mueslis as he put his weight behind proposals for a six-month parliamentary commission to consider banning what he called the “debasing” burka (burqa) by which Muesli husbands asserted their dominance over their wives and shielded them from the sexual attentions of other males (Daily Mirror, 23 vi).
In Britain, Liberal Democrat MP Chris Davies urged the burka be discouraged (Blackburn Citizen, 24 vi). The Speccie’s Rod Liddle found this authoritarian (25 vi) – rather forgetting the authoritarian suppression of free speech about Mueslis that successive Labour governments had already arranged (with precious little opposition from ‘Conservatives’) and to which banning the burka was an obvious and understandable if low-IQ response.
PAEDOHYSTERIA PRICKED
Paedophilic downloaders may largely be the victims of credit card fraud: their card numbers are stolen as they visit ordinary porn sites, then subsequently they dare not complain when their numbers are used to download kiddieporn. Such was the brave claim of Sunday Torygraph columnist Alasdair Palmer (21 vi) – brave since police routinely accuse those who interfere with their paedohysterical sleuthing as being paedophiles themselves.
A London correspondent writes: It is very difficult indeed to prove identity theft or that material has been placed on your computer without your knowledge, either directly or remotely.
CENSORED BRITAIN
It took five years for it to emerge that a 32-year-old teacherette (race and name unknown ‘for legal reasons’) had been raped at Westminster City School, within hours of taking up her position, by a half-Black, 15-year-old, Dwayne Best, who had previously sexually assaulted a school cleaner and who was subsequently jailed for life (Sun, 24 vi). The woman, who never returned to teaching, eventually achieved out-of-court compensation from the school, which had failed to warn her not to be alone with the hefty dreadlock-haired half-Black.
FROM PEECEE PILLAR TO PEECEE POST
Top American fashion house Abercrombie & Fitch, of Savile Row, which had let itself be bullied into taking on Blacks in adverts and front-of-house jobs, found itself hauled before an Employment Tribunal where (pretty) law student Riam Dean sought £20K because it had asked her to work in its stock room (instead of front-of-house) until its supply of winter uniforms arrived which would enable covering of her prosthetic left forearm – needed because of a birth defect, so the ‘distressed’ Miss Dean threw in a charge of “practising eugenics” for good measure (Daily Express, 24 vi).
BROWN BEAR BAITED TO EXHAUSTION
Hope flickered into life for British politics as punch-drunk PM Papa Broon, in a last stand as King Cong, was outclassed in the Commons by Daft Dave Shameron, raising hopes of an early General Election and the laying to rest of the Labour Party. The Indie’s Simon Carr recorded the mesmerizing scene (25 vi):
Cameron slaughtered the old bruiser. Speaker Bercow had called (to some laughter) for a quiet, rational debate. That mended some fences with the Tories because quiet debate ruins the Prime Minister.
Quietly, Cameron kept coming back to the question of a central deception: how come Gordon's capital spending keeps going up, but the Government's Budget has capital spending going sharply down?
The Prime Minister roared. He babbled figures. He denounced Tory cuts to capital spending. He denied Labour cuts, then confirmed them, then denied his confirmation then post-denied his pre-confirmation. At least we understood what was happening to capital spending. It's going up. And down.
Labour rank and file looked on astounded. Their man had collapsed in front of their eyes. It was one long "Obama Beach" (as he'd called Omaha Beach, in front of the US President during the recent D-Day celebrations). He tried to say Ombudsman, he said Osborneman. He tried to say "the Polish Law and Order party" but he said "department". He tried to say Labour didn't believe in cuts, but he said Tories didn't believe in cuts. His figures came out backwards – in one data stream, spending rose between "1998 and 1992".
ALL FORGIVEN AS (BLACK!) PAEDOSAINT SNUFFS IT
As top pop star Saint Michael Jackson went decrepitudinously to an early grave at 50, after years of facial surgery, pain killer abuse (drugs administered by a Black, ‘Dr Conrad Murray’) and non-admitted paedophilia (usually with White kids, freely admitted by Jackson to share his bed for ‘beautiful’ times – World Net Daily, 4 ii 2003), the world’s media put all other news on hold for a day because he had been a Black man – largely forgetting that his increasingly grisly surgery had been intended to make him look like a White woman and that he had pretended to have fathered three children, all of whom were actually White and had to be kept perpetually under blankets so their skin colour would not upset Michael’s fans. Rather than criticize his criminal offences and perversities, President Saint Obama described Michael’s (un-named) problematic pursuits -- which would have seen any comparable White jailed for life -- as just “tragic.” A charmed – if bankrupted (one boy alone was paid £12M to settle an accusation of Michael’s kiddiefumbling) – life and media-assisted death!
PAEDOHYSTERIA CONFRONTED
It turned out that former Temple University psychologist Bruce Rind had been trying for four years, along with several academic colleagues (mainly classicists), to publish an article sympathetic to paedophilic relationships in Ancient Greece – only to find themselves frustrated at every turn by ‘publishers,’ most lately Taylor & Francis (Inside HigherEd, 12 vi;Times Higher, 24 vi).
ENVIRONMENTALUNACY ADMITTED
Britain’s Labour Government announced it would call off its demands for state primary schools to reach universal standards in literacy and arithmetic – these ludicrous undifferentiating targets had been among the first announcements by Rev. Bliar when he became Prime Minister in 1997 with his slogan of “Education! Education! Education!” so this was a unique reverse for neosocialist lunacy. {Educational targets are inevitably meaningless unless IQ is used as a baseline.}

‘LAND OF THE FREE’ – BYE, BYE!
Good-humoured, putatively race-realistic and high-g anti-Semites Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle, having sought asylum in the USA from their persecution in Britain for Labour-invented ‘hate speech crimes’ (see earlier), found themselves deported from California on the basis of legal technicalities and facing ludicrous seven-year prison sentences in England (The Press [Yorkshire], 14 vi).
But they had heroically demonstrated to anyone who did not know it already that both countries had allowed ‘liberal’-lefties to destroy the historic freedom of speech that had once tolerated the left-revered works of Paine, Marx and Engels; and at least they slipped for a moment through MSM silent treatment and got into the Los Angeles Times (4 vi) and Torygraph (4 vi) so Americans could read of how their country (which for years protected IRA murderers from deportation to Britain and accepted millions of Muslim and Mexican immigrants) had (under its new Black president who had accomplished nothing but such neosocialism in his first 120 days in office) terminally shamed itself.
{Yes, the doom for both countries which I predicted in 1996 when neither stood by The g Factor had come to pass – symbolized by a Black Muslim president in the USA and the rise of First Lady Mandy in the UK (triggering notable electoral victories for the BNP).}
RACE-REALISM TRIUMPHANT -- A LITTLE
Although the one-million-vote-winning British National Party officially declared itself ‘non-racist,’ as did countless sympathetic callers to the BBC’s ‘Any Answers?’ programme (hosted, i.e. ‘liberal’-left-censored, by national treasure J. Dimblebore), the original mainly-healthy race realistic views of the party’s new MEP, Andrew Brons, were detailed in the Observer (14 vi). Unlike former Marxists Alistair Darling (UK Chancellor) and Peter Mandelson (First Lady ooops Lord of Everything-in-Sight, including Britain’s wretched ‘universities’) Harrogate politics lecturer Brons did not entirely disclaim or denounce his earlier views as a ‘youthful excess.’
“FREEDOM, GO TO HELL”!
A fine visual aid of a hooded Muesli denouncing Western freedom, accompanied by claims from the independent Royal Unitied Services Institute that Britain – after a generation of loony Labour-led Pakistani immigration – had a problem with ‘home-grown terror’ was provided by the BNP (14 vi).
MULTICULTI BREAKDOWN FLASHPOINT
The limits of multiculturalism went on display in south Belfast as 20 “Romanian” (i.e. Roma [= gypsy]) families were driven from their homes close to the university district by brick- and bottle-throwing “racist” youths who gave Nazi salutes to demonstrators who had tried to show solidarity with the immigrants – who themselves, some 115 in number, were finally given shelter in a Protestant church hall (Daily Mail, 17 vi) and a Belfast leisure centre.
Four days of serious troubles were the culmination of three months of simmering tensions after a Poland vs Northern Ireland football match (which NI won 3-2). Just what the ‘sanctuary-seeking’ “Romanians” (most of them without a word of English) had done to antagonize their new neighbours and just what slogans (some apparently from Combat 18) the ‘racist’ youths had chanted seemed quite unlikely to be revealed by MSM, in line with its policy that no truth-telling should ever be allowed to disturb the whacky policy of global equality, brotherhood-of-man-ooops-wymmin and mass-third-world-immigration to the West on which (along with mainstream parties [MSPs] and mainstream businessmen [MSBs] it had long ago decided.
Hilariously, Sandwell Council, in the West Midlands, chose this moment to announce it would compel its schools to teach all children that gypsies and travellers (aka Irish tinkers) (the bane of many country-dwellers’ lives) were in fact a Jolly Good Thing…. (Daily Telegraph, 17 vi).
Telegraph blogger James Delingpole and commentators became the next (after this diary) to discuss MSM suppressing the fact that the immigrants were gypsies and the troubles (rape, pillage, rubbish, noise) that gypsies so often cause (17 vi).
‘Socialist Workers’ committed themselves to the ‘long-suffering’ ‘Romani’ (17 vi) (and cajoled the trade unions to do likewise) – declining even to mention the problems the gypsies were usually deemed to cause.
Next, the troubles spread to east Belfast, adding 15 to the number of Roma on the run from vigilantes. A BNP spokesman told the Belfast-based Irish News: “The people of Belfast were always going to get the blame but the source of the problem is these people. They cause trouble wherever they go.”
A London correspondent of this diary wrote: “On the Radio 5 morning phone-in, they were huffing and puffing in best liberal-bigot fashion about how outrageous was the treatment of the Romanians. They came to the last caller who was Romanian and proudly put her on air in the expectation that she would say how wonderful Romanians are and how they were all wonderful assets to Britain. To the BBC's horror the woman proceeded to say [the immigrants in Belfast] were not Romanians but gypsies. She then happily embellished this with graphic descriptions of how gypsies behaved wherever they were: robbing, beating, burgling and raping. She ended splendidly by saying that the behaviour of the people in Ulster was quite understandable. Effing hilarious.”
Asked about the Belfast attacks on ‘Romanians,’ BBC ‘Question Time’ panelists did not utter the words ‘Roma’ or ‘gypsy,’ let alone ask why Belfast natives had got so fed up with these immigrants. Ditto the piety-intent BNP (20 vi) – though a correspondent claimed to have seen a press report that there had been a huge increase in crime in Belfast. Claims of huge increases in ‘petty crime’ (old ladies being mobbed at cashpoints and having their bags slashed from them, thefts of clothes from washing lines, aggressive begging) since 1,000 illiterate and workshy Roma appeared in Belfast in 2007 were reported by the Daily Mail (20 vi).
PEECEE POLICING EXPOSED
There was more hilarity as Britain’s ‘terror watchdog,’ Lord Carlisle said it had come to his attention that cowardly multiculti cops were stopping-and-searching White youths quite randomly and with no terror-related reason whatsoever just so as to ‘maintain a racial balance’ in records of how their attention was distributed (Times, 17 vi).
BNP – A SUGGESTION
Reflecting on the BNP’s oft-vaunted non-racism, failure to be offered liberal/libertarian pacts or alliances which could have yielded my preferred National Liberal Party, and less-mentioned need to drum up funds to pay for repatriation of impoverished foreigners, it occurred to me that a simple commitment to ‘English-speaking married couples with children’ (EMCs) could do the trick. Income tax could then be raised to 40P in the pound for all but EMCs. If, after slashing welfare and molly-coddling for all but EMCs, closing all social science faculties in the country’s universities, meeting repatriation targets and impressing the IMF and Standard & Poor by beginning to pay off Labour’s debts, there was spare cash in the kitty, it could go to setting up a Humanitarian TaskForce for Africa which would conscript Britain’s long-term criminals and welfare-dependents and one-by-one transform willing African countries into passably peaceful and prosperous democratically-elitist countries (who would help pay for the exercise with their mineral wealth).
Would this proposal scare the City away? Surely not, for most City financiers are EMCs or could easily become so – especially by marrying the many adolescent girls (and boys) who would no longer be subsidized by the state to attend universities. One could just hear the crowds chant ‘BNP – EMC!’ as the party’s electoral base rapidly expanded. Ah well, dream on!...
g FACTOR FOUND IN MONKEYS – JUST ABOUT
After fifty years of Western behaviourist egalitarian utopians fooling around with monkeys (e.g. trying to give them language), an Indian psychologiste at Harvard, Konika Banerjee, at last identified a general intelligence factor distinguishing among 22 charmingly-coated cotton-top tamarins, based on 11 cognitive tests (such as whether the animals could reach around a transparent plastic screen to pick up a raisin) (ScienceBlog, 16 vi; New Scientist, 17 vi; Softpedia, 17 vi; The Hindu, 17 vi)). Banerjee's team (including g-backing Christopher Chabris, a rarity while he was at Harvard) ranked the 22 monkeys across all 11 tasks of working memory, executive control, inhibitory abilities, information-processing speed, attention (tracking), reversal learning, habituation to auditory stimuli, novelty seeking etc. and found that the same animals tended to perform similarly well across all the tests.
When her team calculated an ‘IQ’ score for each monkey, animals' ‘g’ scores could be used to accurately predict 65% of the time which of two animals would outperform the other on any given task in the cognitive task battery. However, the monkey ‘g’ factor accounted for only 20% of the variance on the 11 tests used – whereas human g typically accounts for some 60% of reliable variance on mental tests. (The reliability of Banerjee et al.’s tests was often low, giving hope of stronger ‘g’ factors in the future if testing procedures could be lengthened or otherwise improved.)
The authors speculated that human g might be evolutionarily based on extending upwards the ‘g’ differences occurring in other primate species. "This is a difficult study to undertake, and this team should be commended for doing it so well," said Robert Deaner of Grand Valley State University in Michigan.
The breakthrough was likely to send any remaining behaviourists (and their hangers-on in cognitive [i.e. non-cognitive] psychology) to an early grave lamenting they had not long ago conducted such testing – as I had advised E.LU.’s late behaviourist/primatologist/psychologist Brendan McGonigle as far back as 1975. Follow-up work was likely to involve giving the same tests to children and seeing whether there was still a ‘g’ factor and whether it correlated with conventional human g, IQ and Mental Age measures. Subsequently, inter-specific comparisons could be made – at last getting round the problems outlined in the Introduction to The g Factor. One reasonable guess would be that g differences would be found within animals of species having social hierarchies [other than those based conspicuously on physical size and strength].
The research, which was published in the internet open-access journal PLoS One, was led by Konika Banerjee, a research assistant in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. Banerjee's co-authors were Marc Hauser, professor of psychology, and James J. Lee all of Harvard, along with Christopher Chabris of Union College, Fritz Tsao of Hillsdale College, and Valen Johnson of the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. The research was funded by the Harvard College Research Program and the Goelet Fund to Banerjee, and from grants to Hauser from the McDonnell Foundation and NSF.
N.B.: Sir Cyril Burt was premature, if not over-optimistic, in calling the g factor “innate general cognitive ability,” for ‘innate’ must strictly refer to characters that all members of a species have in common (bar perhaps uncommon accidents). I outlined the problem to a supporter as follows.
The g factor as known and measured principally distinguishes individuals (and occasionally -- though 'controversially' -- races). It does not confer much breeding advantage -- quite the opposite in the modern West. Differences in it are evidently biologically tolerated. So why do we differ so much in g? Arguably because g differences allow clear and stable hierarchies to be formed -- hierarchies being the basis of most co-operative, high-speed male activity (hunting, armies, hospitals, newspapers, government). More crudely, g differences allow the systems of slavery (or semi-slavery) to which humans naturally aspire -- and in which obedient and successful slaves can do well biologically -- unless their Muslim masters have castrated them.
Recall the general giftedness and artistic and scholarly ways of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, James I, Charles I. It was only once we got the dull (but safely non-Papist) Hanoverians that 'prime ministers' were able to emerge -- the Pitts, Disraeli, Gladstone and Churchill being of towering g. (Today, we have to rely on the media to throw up our nationally venerated figures like Starkey, Ferguson, Lord Winston, Lumley, Dench....)
Whether g will ever be measured in such a way as to allow inter-species comparisons is considered in Chapter1 of ‘The g Factor’ (1996/2000). Konika Banerjee's work has promise -- though currently her ‘g’ factor within monkeys is pretty weak, so there will be some way to go before measures emerge which allow g measurement among monkeys, among people and then, if successful, between monkeys and people or even between cats and dogs.
FRUITS OF BLACK INDEPENDENCE
One in four men in South Africa were found to admit to rape and many confessed to attacking more than one victim, according to a study that exposed the country's endemic culture of sexual violence (Guardian, 18 vi). Three out of four rapists first attacked while still in their teens, the study found. One in 20 men said they had raped a woman or girl in the last year. One man in ten reported he had been homosexually raped at some time; and one South African child was raped every three minutes, with 88% of such rapes going unreported. {If the figures had been broken down by race, the rape rates for Black men would have certainly been even higher.}
Good-humoured, putatively race-realistic and high-g anti-Semites Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle, having sought asylum in the USA from their persecution in Britain for Labour-invented ‘hate speech crimes’ (see earlier), found themselves deported from California on the basis of legal technicalities and facing ludicrous seven-year prison sentences in England (The Press [Yorkshire], 14 vi).

It was only once we got the dull (but safely non-Papist) Hanoverians that 'prime ministers' were able to emerge -- the Pitts, Disraeli, Gladstone and Churchill being of towering g. (Today, we have to rely on the media to throw up our nationally venerated figures like Starkey, Ferguson, Lord Winston, Lumley, Dench....)
Whether g will ever be measured in such a way as to allow inter-species comparisons is considered in Chapter1 of ‘The g Factor’ (1996/2000). Konika Banerjee's work has promise -- though currently her ‘g’ factor within monkeys is pretty weak, so there will be some way to go before measures emerge which allow g measurement among monkeys, among people and then, if successful, between monkeys and people or even between cats and dogs.
FRUITS OF BLACK INDEPENDENCE
One in four men in South Africa were found to admit to rape and many confessed to attacking more than one victim, according to a study that exposed the country's endemic culture of sexual violence (Guardian, 18 vi). Three out of four rapists first attacked while still in their teens, the study found. One in 20 men said they had raped a woman or girl in the last year. One man in ten reported he had been homosexually raped at some time; and one South African child was raped every three minutes, with 88% of such rapes going unreported. {If the figures had been broken down by race, the rape rates for Black men would have certainly been even higher.}
