Westminster Paedophiles: Waiting For Leon Brittan To Die And That Leon Brittan Sauna Photo

Westminster paedophiles: A look at the story of politicians abusing child in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Daily Mail has a question:

Did PM’s adviser try to stop MP linking Brittan to claims of child sex abuse?

Anorak ‘s rule is that when a headline is phrased as a question the answer is always ‘no’.

Turkey’s President Erdogan Offers To Lick The Feet Of Women Rights Activists If They Stay At Home

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is addressing an international women’s justice summit. He tells the women that gender equality is against nature and God:

Certain work, Erdogan said, goes against women’s “delicate nature,” and “their characters, habits, and physiques are different” from men’s. “Our religion [Islam] has defined a position for women: motherhood,” he said. He then went on to blast feminists, accusing them of not understanding their role in society. “Some people can understand this, while others can’t,” he said. “You cannot explain this to feminists because they don’t accept the concept of motherhood.”

Erdogan tried using the Quran to advance his point, saying, “Paradise lies at the feet of mothers,” which ended up just turning into an awkward reflection on the role of his mother in his own family. “I would kiss my mother’s feet because they smelled of paradise,” he said. “She would glance coyly and cry sometimes.”

Pervert.

That’s how Manhunter got started…

Westminster Paedophiles: The D-notice, Sweating Cyril Smith And Rochdale Is Cleansed

Operation Midland

 

Westminster Peadophiles: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at the story of child abuse in the 1970s and 1980s in the media.

The Times: “Paedophile ring may have killed boy, 15”

Or to turn that headline around: “Paedophile ring may not have killed boy, 15.”

Georgia Keate writes:

Police investigating an alleged paedophile ring at Westminster have told the family of a missing boy that he may be one of the three children claimed to have been murdered by establishment figures. Martin Allen, the son of the Australian high commissioner’s chauffeur, went missing in 1979, aged 15. His brother, Kevin, 51, has said he was called by Detective Chief Inspector Diane Tudway of the Metropolitan police on Friday, who said she was investigating whether Martin’s disappearance was linked to an alleged VIP ring.

Jack Monroe Uses Dead Ivan Cameron To Promote Her Wholemeal Pizzas

Celebrity chef Jack Monroe’s most recent story for The Guardian tells readers:

pizza with kale pesto recipe – I make a lot of pizza for the kids as a treat – and don’t feel at all guilty about sneaking wholemeal flour into the base and vegetables on top.

If the woman who cooks to a budget (one that’s getting bigger) doesn’t feel guilty about wholemeal flour in a child’s pizza (has she no conscience?), maybe her tweets with prick her into mental unrest.

A recent one opines:

Because he [David Cameron] uses stories about his dead son as misty-eyed rhetoric to legitimise selling our NHS to his friends: #CameronMustGo

 

Screen shot 2014-11-24 at 20.45.55

 

In 2009, Mr Cameron’s six-year-old son Ivan, who suffered from cerebral Palsy and epilepsy, died.

We don’t know what young Ivan would have made of Monroe’s charm, but maybe she can create a Twitter account in the child’s name and use it to contact David Cameron and get her views across in a more sensitive manner?

Tweet 1: “@IvanCam: I never knew wholemeal pizza could taste so good. Thanks Jack Monroe”

‘Send Them Back’: Emily Thornberry And White Van Dan Confound The Sneering Stereotypes

Labour MP Emily Thornberry’s tweet from Rochester made a the story of the by-election about Labour’s attitude to the working class.

Thornberry resigned her post in the shadow cabinet, thus setting the bar horrible low for future departures.

The Sun then did what it does best. It introduced us to White Van Dan, whose home Thornberry had presented to her twitter followers in the manner of a Victorian prude showing off a cultural artefact from darkest Africa.

White Van Dan – Dan Ware – was invited to share his vision for the United Kingdom with the paper’s readership:

As @MichaelPDeacon tweeted:

White Van Man confounds the sneering stereotypes. By writing a manifesto containing the phrase “send them back”

Emily Thornberry And Labour Hate ‘White Man’s Gulch’

Poor old Emily Thornberry. She’s the Labour MP who mocked Dan Ware’s home in Rochester.  Dan lives in home that displays flags supporting his country and West Ham United FC. He drives a white van. Intrepid Emily, who had journeyed from Islington to a neat road in Kent where working people live, thought it a hoot to show this cultural oddity to her Twitter followers.

We say poor Emily becuase having resigned her job in the shadow cabinet, Emily could argue she was only giving Labour suppoters what they wanted.

Mocking the white working class is ok, you see. Sure, the Daily Mirror today asks:

What does shadow Labour minister Emily Thornberry mean by this photo?

 

Screen shot 2014-11-21 at 11.22.14

 

 

The Mirror quotes other Labour MPs, keen to show that not all the Party’s MPs are possess the Victorian colonial spirit:

Labour MP Simon Danczuk saying: “We all know what she was trying to imply. I’ve talked about this previously. It’s like the Labour party has been hijacked by the North London liberal elite and it’s comments like that which reinforce that view.”

Labour colleague Chris Bryant said: “The Labour Party was founded on the basis that everybody should be treated equally and that’s why Emily herself has said it’s a bit of an own goal.”

But Anorak readers will recall that its not just the London Labour elite who think white van man is a national embarrassment.

Mirror columnsit Brian Reade, a Liverpudlian, once journeyed to south-east London. In light of the murder of black teeanger Stephen Lawrence by a gang of white racists, Eltham was in the news. What he wrote was truly appalling:

Welcome to the Brook Estate in Eltham, south east London. The breeding ground of four of the five men accused of stabbing Stephen Lawrence to death as he waited for a bus a short walk away on the eve of St George’s Day six years ago.

Five products of a twisted philosophy drummed into them from birth. “If they’re black, stab ‘em in the back.”…

A way of life passed down from father to son. You see the link emerge in the fading white graffiti sprayed 30 years ago on the walls of the old railway bridges around the estate, written by the last generation of Eltham Boyz. In three feet high letters: “SKINHEADS.”…

Give me the father and I’ll give you the son who will give you the son who will abuse, persecute and even kill another human being for committing the heinous crime of not being born white.

Racism was inherited. Get the killers and purge the land.

This is White Man’s Gulch… This is E-reg Escort-land.

So much for anti-discrimination, eh. When did the entire white working class become pariahs?

GK Chesterton put it well:

“We are always ready to make a saint or prophet of the educated man who goes into cottages to give a little kindly advice to the uneducated,’ he wrote. But the real saints and prophets – those of the middle ages – were uneducated men ‘who walked into grand houses to give a little kindly advice to the educated.’ The wisdom of the poor was once deployed to moralise the rich; now that of the rich is used to demoralise the poor.”

Kicking the white working class is acceptable. What began with targeting football fans with new forms of control now extends to what car you drive and your home decor.

Emily Thornberry is not a rarity. She’s typical.

The Mask Slips: Emily Thornberry Shows How Elitist Labour Is

EMILY Thornberry MP (Islington South) played her hand. To use the language of the anti-UKippers, the mask slipped.

Thornberry portrayed Rochester locals as working class morons, the kind of dolts who drive white vans, love football and England. On Planet Thornberry, the home she photographed and tweeted was a cultural curiosity.

Would she have pictured the home of a Pakistani mini-cab driver with a Pakistan cricket flag hanging outside in the same fashion? Of course not. She was mocking the white working class. That’s allowed.

Labour MP Emily Thornberry Mocks Kent’s White Working Class

Labour MP Emily Thornberry leaves her Islington zone and heads to Rochester in Kent. She is shocked. This is the “white man’s gulch” the Daily Mirror warned her about.

Inside a black man sips his hummus and eats his organic espresso.

Ed Miliband Stars In The Greatest Photo Ever (For Anyone Keen To Look Unelectable)

ED Miliband is the gift that keeps on giving:

PA-21459727 (1)

 

Labour leader Ed Miliband waits back stage before delivering a speech to party supporters at the University of London today.

It’s a good job the Labour Party is united behind him or else they mnight think their leader is a disaster.

Alex Massie:

A Labour party determined to win would not have chosen to be led by Ed Miliband. A Labour party truly enthused by the prospect of returning to power would not have kept Ed as leader long past the point at which it became clear he’s a gawd-help-us, what-were-we-thinking, sad-sack, head-in-hands, fingernails-on-a-blackboard atrocity never happier than when accosting innocent strangers, most of whom claim to be called “Gareth”.

BNP Wants You To Mark Remembrance Day On November 12

ON the 11th hour of the 12 day of the 11th month the BNP* remembered to observe, well, what? The rest of us know that Remembrance Day falls on November 11th. But the BNP wants to make the 12th special.

Is it becasue on November 12 1933, the Nazis received 92% of vote in Germany. No. It’s about the British who gave their lives fighting the Nazis:

 

 

BNP fail

 

*BNP. Something that existed before the EDL and the UKIP.

Barack Obama: The ‘True Anti-Semite’ Who Wants Peace With Nuclear Iran

BARACK Obama has been corresponding with Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s leader.

Politico:

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Obama had secretly written Khamenei in October to discuss U.S. and Iran’s common interest in combating ISIL. According to the report, Obama said that U.S.-Iran work in the fight against ISIL relied upon Iran’s cooperation on reaching a long-term agreement on the country’s nuclear program by the Nov. 24 deadline.

The report also indicated that Obama assured Khamenei that U.S. airstrikes in Syria would not target the regime of President Bashar Assad, an important ally for Iran.

The BBC profiled Khemenei as a Holocaust denier (he is), bigot and sworn enemy of the West.

Nigel Farage And Stewart Lee’s Laugh In: With Straight Man Andrew Lawrence

PA-6560357

 

ANDREW Lawrence writes on BBC bias in comedy:

Can’t help but notice increasingly, a lot ‘political’ comedians cracking cheap and easy gags about UKIP, to the extent that it’s got hack, boring and lazy very quickly. Particularly too much moronic, liberal back-slapping on panel shows like Mock The Week where aging, balding, fat men, ethnic comedians and women-posing-as-comedians, sit congratulating themselves on how enlightened they are about the fact that UKIP are ridiculous and pathetic…

Out of touch, smug, superannuated, overpaid TV comics with their cosy lives in their west-London ivory towers taking a supercilious, moralising tone, pandering to the ever-creeping militant political correctness of the BBC with their frankly surreal diversity targets…

There is a deeply ingrained militant liberal politics at every level of the BBC, despite the fact that it’s tax-payer funded and supposed to be neutral. It’s a biased organisation and the only sorts of political comedians that are welcome within its corridors are those that reflect it’s values.

Obama’s Middle East Policy: Susan Rice Mocks Israeli Ambassador

HOW’S Obama’s foreing policy on the Middle East going?

The Free Beacon:

Obama administration National Security Adviser Susan Rice rudely mocked Israel’s ambassador during a recent meeting with an American Jewish leader.

Rice, who is known to dislike the Israeli government, was asked in a recent meeting with a top American Jewish leader why she had not taken meetings with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. “Rice responded, with her characteristic sarcasm, ‘He never asked to meet me,’” Haaretz reported Rice as saying. The president’s top aide then mocked Dermer and conservative casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

“Besides, I understood that he’s too busy traveling to Sheldon Adelson’s events in Las Vegas,” Rice reportedly said with contempt.

Always good to keep your allies on side…

One In Every 7 Britons Under 25 Supports ISIS

HOW are ISIS doing in the opinion polls? The Times:

One in seven young British adults has “warm feelings” towards Islamic State, according to a poll. Isis is riding a surge of “anti-politics” sentiment among disaffected under-35s who admire the jihadists’ courage, academics warn.

A tenth of Londoners and one in 12 Scots view Islamic State (Isis) favourably, but sympathy for the militant group reaches its highest levels among the under-25s, the Populus survey found.

Cartoonists Respond To President Erdogan’s Attack On Free Speech

Steve Bright

Steve Bright

IN Turkey – the UK and US’s ally – cartoonist Musa Kart has been arrested for “insulting” President Erdogan with a cartoon of the esteemed leader as a hologram looking on as a robbery takes place. It’s refence to a story on corruption in low places.

(If you think hurling an insult should not be a crime, you need to take a look at what passes for law breaking on Twitter. Turkey might not be so different to the UK )

Freedom of Speech is all important. Cartoonists came out on support of Kart on the #erdogancaricature hashtag. Erdogan alleged Kart was guilty of “insulting through publication and slander”.

Chicago Voting Machine Forces Republican To Vote Democrat

REMEMBER those hanging Chads? Well, they swing both ways:

Admitting his confidence in Cook County ballot integrity is shaken, State Representative Candidate Jim Moynihan (R-56), was shocked today when he tried to cast a vote for himself and the voting machine cast it for his opponent instead.

“While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” said Moynihan. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”

While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race. It is unknown if the machine in question (#008958) has been removed from service or is still in operation.

Vote early and vote often!

Tony Abbott Goes Shirt To Nipple With Topless Vladimir Putin

PA-9340425

TONY Abbott, Australia’s prime minister, and former Oxford University boxer, says he will “shirt-front” Vladimir Putin at the next G20 shindig in Australia.

The Times:

The term “shirt-front” is used to describe a front–on charge at an opponent in Australian Rules Football intended to knock the opponent to the ground. “I’m going to shirt-front Mr Putin,” Tony Abbott told reporters yesterday. He was describing his intention to press Mr Putin over the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over the Ukraine in July by what is thought to have been a missile fired by Russian separatists.

“I am going to say to Mr Putin: Australians were murdered,” he said.

Things Douglas Carswell Compares The Conservative Party To

PA-21153582

 

UKIP MP, turncoat and man of Clacton Douglas Carswell likes comparing the Conservative Party to things.

HMV. No – ho-ho – not HIV. The UKippers’ leader Nigel Farage wants AIDs sufferers banned from the UK.  This is another version of His Master’s Voice, the old record shop chain:

“To use a metaphor, I think it’s a bit like HMV, once ubiquitous when it came to buying music. The way the Tory party is retailing politics is like the way HMV retailed music. It’s a defunct retail model.”
