PEECEE TO IMMOLATE
After a century of passable sympathy for progressive and psychoanalytic ideas, the UK Labour Party decided to have an argument with the Freud family – in particular with Sigmund Freud’s great-grandson, Lord Freud, who had mentioned the obvious truth that many disabled people would stand more chance of getting a job if they could be paid below the ‘national minimum wage’ (set at a loony £7 per hour, but widely ignored on the black market of Pakistani shops).
Some people who were lame, halt, blind, deaf or dim were just not ‘worth’ as much as others in the job market, Lord Freud, a Coalition minister for welfare or somesuch, had politely suggested – to the fury of ideological peecee disablists who evidently regarded total equality for the ‘disadvantaged’ as their C21 mission (even as they destroyed chances for bright kids from poor homes by refusing them grammar schools).
Further enraging spaced-out egalitarians, the Independent on Sunday reported that a second government minister had made ‘contentious comments’ over the role of disabled people in the workplace. Andrew Selous, a ‘justice minister,’ was said to have told a fringe meeting at the Tory party conference that “disabled people work harder because they’re grateful to have a job”.
{What a surprise! – Though was such ‘hard work’ notably effective?...}
Rachel Reeves, Labour’s shadow work and pensions secretary said the prime minister’s failure to act to remove Lord Freud was astonishing. She said: “When the disgraceful and offensive views like this go unchallenged within the Conservative party it’s clear that mask has slipped and the ‘nasty party’ is back. Labour will table a motion of no confidence in Lord Freud because we believe it’s completely unacceptable that David Cameron has failed to sack his minister for welfare reform.”
Thus did crackpot peecee idealism move another step closer to final burn-out. – For most ‘disabled’ people preferred to get a job; and the Freuds, famed for comedy, broadcasting and art as well as family realism and politics would be remembered long beyond useless peecee egalitarianism..
CAMEROONIAN ‘CONSERVATISM’ SURPASSES ITSELF
Jumping on the latest tabloid bandwagon, Britain’s ‘Conservatives’ decided – instead of letting players do what they wanted on FaceTube, YourFace, Twatter etc – to provide more employment for lawyers by more state-funded squishing of free speech. ‘Justice Secretary’ Chris Grayling said the maximum jail sentence for internet abuse would be raised from six months to two years.
He told the Mail on Sunday: ‘These trolls are cowards who are poisoning our national life. No one would permit such venom in person, so there should be no place for it in social media.’
Absurdly, the new legislation was referred to as ‘Chloe’s Law’ in reference to model Chloe Madeley, who was threatened ‘online’ with sexual assault after her mother, TV personality Judy Finnigan, commented on the Ched Evans rape case.
{Poor Daft Dave! He could not do much except mouth his PR and bring on Gordon Brown to help him out. But stamping on free speech was easy enough – the populism of desperate politicos through the ages. So, a few days later, HMG announced it was ‘working with’ internet service providers to stop them serving up any naughty thoughts that it disliked (Telegraph, 24 x, p.1) – a move allegedly intended to cut down anti-Christian jihadism, but no doubt the main consequence would be to restrict criticism of Islam. And, yes, the new censorship was promptly accompanied by a private Christian school being told it was insufficiently ‘diverse’ and must have visits from local imams.}
LONDON SCHOOL REVIEWED
Looking for a way to commemorate the deaths, just two years ago this month, of the scholarly Art Jensen and Phil Rushton, I was glad to find a helpful-looking overview, using internet material, of the ‘London School of Differential Psychology’ – available for rent or purchase from Hephaestus Books. (More detail here.)
RACE REALIST DEFENDED
A full and scholarly defence of the world’s top race realist, AmRen editor Jared Taylor, was provided in VDare, 19 x, by editor and columnist James Fulford after JT had found himself accused of racism, White supremacism (and, of course, neo-Nazism) in a book, The Myth of Race, published by Harvard University Press. JT had also managed to avoid arrest in Hungary, where authorities of that reputedly ‘right-wing’ country decided to improve its image among European ‘liberals’ by moving against a conference of race realists which JT was attending. {Next for a defence of JT by an American libel lawyer?!}
PEECEE PURITANISM SCORNED
Star Australian comedian Barry Humphries (creator of ‘Dame Edna Everage’) moved to defend Barry Spurr, a professor of literature at Sydney University who had long been nationally known for effectively resisting efforts to have more Aboriginal influence in the national school curriculum but had been found in email to have called abo culture “rubbish,” denigrated Queensman PM Tony Abbott as “an abo lover” and occasionally thrown in ‘remarks’/jests about “whores,” “mussies”* and “chinky-poos”, thereby bringing about his suspension by the university (Guardian, 17 x).
In a letter to The Australian, Humphries called threats to Spurr “cultural fascism,” said many Australians were now “bereft of a sense of humour and observed that {as in the rest of the West} “the new puritanism is alive, well and powerful” (D.Telegraph, 22 x).
Abbott’s position on the incredibly low IQs and cultural achievements of Australia’s Aborigines was unknown; but he had in September spent a week living with Aborigines in the outback of Northern Oz, presumably feeling obliged to demonstrate multiculti credentials.
*There were of course perfectly acceptable forms of Muesliedom, an Oz pal has pointed out: even if the burqa had always to be worn by subordinate women, the rest of the female body could be delightfully stark naked without infringing traditional dress code....
MODERN MADAM
With Christmas hovering just two months away, it seemed only right to offer ‘IQ & PC’ readers encouragement that the multiculti world, whatever its limitations resulting from daft IQ-neglecting Western politicos, had some compensations. British-born Emily Katarinawankowski, understandably a TV starlet, would provide much hope to true scholars with her luxuriant hair, bee-stung lips and excellent waist-hip ratio (D.Mail, 21 x).
(Just why Emily had to wear old-fashioned male underpants and baggy jeans and – like most ‘models’ – was not allowed to smile was more of a mystery; but readers here deserve to be kept aware of modern trends – and might supply answers on a postcard {I do not play FaceTube, YouBook, Twatter, ipod etc}. We should stay realistic, and Emily essentially makes this pretty easy to all but the most ultra-montagne.)
ROCHDALE REALISM
Asking for a White cab driver had become commonplace in Rochdale [nr Manchester], where nine Pek taximen had been jailed for pimping and sometimes ‘raping’ some 47 girls whom they had fuelled with drugs and driven to ‘Asians’ all over the north-west (Guardian, 22 x). One firm alone reckoned it had 60 such ‘racist’ requests per week – calls which it obliged since asking for such discrimination was not {yet} illegal, any more than requesting a female driver.
Stephen Campbell, the manager of Car 2000, which had taken over Eagle Taxis, a firm that employed drivers at the heart of the grooming/pimping/’raping’ scandal, said that a consequence of the affair was that “many White customers ask for White drivers” – or “local” drivers, as they usually referred to them.
Earlier in October, ‘racist’ UKIP had almost won what had previously been a safe Labour seat in the Rochdale area; and November a ‘Conservative’ vs UKIP local by-election was looming (for which PM Daft Dave – 13% behind UKIP in the local polls -- was piling in all available ‘Conservative’ troops to try to hang on to the seat – no door would be left unknocked).
ETHNIES AT IT
The ‘European Union’ which had long been a bumbling unparliamentary outfit enfeebled by German war guilt and had thus invited millions of low-IQ misogynistic death-wishing Mueslis to invade Berlin, northern Paris, east London, Bradford etc (wanting cheap labour and socialist votes, of course – anything rather than admit the need to provide suitable, differentiated ‘elitist’ education for its own Whites), and had destroyed Libya’s dictator Col.Gadawfu who had long provided some protection from the raging African/Arabian hordes, found its pathetic idealism especially dramatically upstaged as, in Calais, 2,300 A/A’s not only paid small fortunes to locate in a roadside spot where they could jump on a slow-moving lorry going to the welfare-state heaven of Britain but started fighting each other.
Yes, Sudanese, Syrians, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Afghans and Somalis were at each other’s throats in their hundreds (D.Mail, 22 x), resulting in French police (already encased in plastic bags and using tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades) wanting permission to use live ammunition – a permission unlikely to be granted by the idiotic government of France, though NF leaderine Marine Le Pen showed up to support Whites in the scene of chaos. {Hilarious! Multiculturalism in action! You couldn’t make it up!}
Germany also had serious problems, especially in Munich, as Syrians and Iraqis streamed in from countries which Western idealism had destabilised. (The latest West-beloved boss of Afghoonistan, Ashraf Ghastly, had once written (according to New York Review of Books, 6 xi 2014): “There is a consensus in Afghan society: violence…must end. National reconciliation and respect for fundamental human rights will form the path to lasting peace and stability across the country. The people’s aspirations must be represented in an accountable, broad-based, gender-sensitive, multi-ethnic, representative government that delivers daily value.” – What a joke!
The only consolation for Afghans was that, under liberal Western policing and ethnic ignorance, they had reached levels of opium production higher than before the Western invasion.)
Fed up with Britain’s failures to control or demolish its absurdly lavish ‘welfare state’ (which made it a magnet for A/A ‘asylum seekers’) or to provide Froggies with more than £1M per month to control the flow of immigrants, France announced it would set up a camp of 500 beds near Calais which would provide humanitarian and legal advice as to how to flashmob lorries and get to Britain as soon as possible (Daily Mail, 24 x).
{Anything rather than return the A/A’s to Italy – where they should, according to EU officialdom, have sought ‘asylum’ in the first EU country they entered – for bankrupt and mega-corrupt Italy would just have shovelled them back into France so they could pursue their real objective of reaching Shangrila GB.}
NO PSYCHOLOGY PLEASE – WE’RE PEECEE!
As a lone gunman in Ottawa emptied Canada’s Parliament, sent the capital city into ‘lockdown’ and provided employment for hundreds of cops and support staff by shooting dead just one soldier at a war memorial (then being allowed into the Parliament by the cops, who finally killed him), MSM paid its usual lack of attention to the loony’s background (not to mention his genes). Named ‘Michael Zehaf-Bibeau’, he pretty obviously came from a mixed Arabic-French marriage in which the parents had given him a conventional Christian forename as part of their determination to settle down in peaceful Canada.
But, as is common in cases of youthful terrorism (including the IRA, Italy’s Red Brigades and Germany’s Baader-Meinhof gang), the Oedipally driven ‘Michael’ had decided that the way to his mother’s heart was to show up his Arab father as a ‘coward’ who had not been true to his own (and probably the mother’s) beliefs.
Guesswork? Of course! But what else can one do when the public domain provides little information even when the Canadian PM is hustled into hiding in a broom cupboard and thousands of lives are disrupted (and one lost)? More prosaically, Mail star columnist Peter Hitchens managed to contribute that ‘Michael’ had two convictions for marijuana use and one for robbery; and that he had been an unpopular figure at his local mosque. But the essential psychological story is probably as above. {Yes, though a loyal Eysenckian, I have always respected the occasional realistic insights of psychoanalysis. Of course, in Freud’s day the father would normally have won the Oedipal competition with the help of church and state.}
More prosaically, Kamaldeep Bhui, Professor of Cultural Psychiatry and Epidemiology, at Queen Mary University of London, concluded from interviews with 600 Muslims in Bradford and London that jihadists suffered depression and loneliness, had sought shelter with a mosque after family problems and had little staying power as fighters (Telegraph, 15 x).
Details of Z-B’s substantial record of crime and mental instability were provided by the Daily Mail, 23 x, along with the information that his mother was a top immigration official whose Libyan cafĂ© owner hubby had left her in 1999. Z-B was well and truly on the radar of Canada’s security forces yet had been allowed to wander around the pathologically altruistic country for ten years.
ADVANCE, NORDS!
Analyses (in the Spectator) strongly suggested that the Italian and French economies were basket cases – and that these countries were thus going to have to leave the ‘eurozone’ and EU which prevented them boosting their exports by devaluing their currencies. Hilariously, Downing Street had not mastered the insurance rules to which it had signed up, so was ‘surprised’ at having to pay £2B by Dec.1 to help the weakening economies of France and Germany – but doubtless Mutti Merkel would explain the rules (which would include promise-keeping and Britain being fined £40M if it did not deliver on its vouchsafed helping of weaker brethren).
In the UK itself, the votes of Anglo-Saxons (outside ghastly Celtic Clydeside Glasgow and Dundee) to keep the 300-year Union together claimed the heads of Scotland’s two main party leaders (SNP and Labour) and left Glasgow as a furious rump state that might no longer contribute its 40 Labour MPs to Westminster, giving England a chance of shaking off Celtic/Gallic statist socialism. What fun!
{Of course, in its reluctance to execute jihadists for treason, to refuse plane flights from ebola-torn west Africa and to sink invading boats from West-destroyed Libya, the West had still some way to go....}
ILLIBERALISM ENDEMIC AT E.LU.
Famous c.1800 as a bastion of liberalism, attracting the Darwin family to send their young Charles for education, Edinburgh University c.2000, having set the world an example of academic illiberalism by sacking me for opinions deemed racist, sexist, elitist and insufficiently paedohysterical, found its own students learning fast as Edinburgh University’s Feminist Society called for the banning from campus of the Socialist Workers’ Party, mainly for the SWP’s occasionally defending male students accused of ‘rape’
(which by 2014 feminists had made such a wide category as to have all men locked up)
or ‘rapist’ sentiments (Observer, 26 x, Nick Cohen). Spokesgirl Eleanor Brayne-Whyatt of the EFS said that universities would show they did not tolerate “rape apologism and victim blaming” if they ordered the SWP to leave.
She little considered that a country where it’s a crime to be offensive is a country where everyone can try to ban everyone else. {The SWP, as well as taking a firm line with hysterical feminism, had been admirably active in my defence in 1996 – taking the battle to Glasgow University, where it staged a book-burning to impress Scotland’s journalists with what E.LU. had been doing.}
