As some of you will know I have a particular interest in human rights having written a book about it. This week the First Minister of Scotland told us that she would do whatever she could to halt the Tories assault on our rights saying that it was inconceivable that the Scottish Parliament would give its consent to amend or abolish the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. This is wonderful news as it is essential that people in positions of authority and influence expose the British elite's plans for what they truly are, as this plan by the Tories would mark the end of Britain as a civilised society. You know that in my opinion the beginnings of the end of civilisation was the sale of council housing. Since that beginning Britain has been slowly descending into barbarism as expressed through vicious class and ethnic warfare. I will remind you again, all the Tories arguments about human rights are a smokescreen to hide their main goal in this programme of systematically abandoning rights and that is the removal of every and all employment rights. That is their holy grail. Again I warn you, they will not cease until they have imposed a form of slavery on all British workers. But they also have other goals, goals which will require them to impose a totalitarian form of control over British civil and political life. To achieve these they have to destroy organised resistance to their goals, and in the case of a British Bill of Rights, their chief target is the judiciary.
We are all familiar with the fact that the Tories, and most of the Labour Party, in other words, the elite gang of Westminster criminals, are in both political and economic terms, neoliberals. That means that they espouse an aggressive individualism and despise anything that smacks of collectivism which they endlessly propagandise as socialism. As they are liberals in the classical sense of the word, they only accept one form of right. There are two forms of right, negative and positive, and the neoliberal will only accept the negative as they argue that positive rights are not rights but privileges. Britain is a very exclusionary society in that the British elite spend as much of their energy excluding people from any meaningful participation in society as they do on anything else. If you are not, what Thatcher called 'one of us', then you will not be successful in any meaningful way in this country unless you are very lucky. I trust you will be now aware of how David Cameron and his friends at university held parties in pubs and clubs where they would stand on the tables and shout f..k the plebs! That has been revealed in all of our national papers and media this week, with the notable exception of, you guessed, the BBC, what a surprise. So you know this is not a piece of Doktor Kommirat propaganda. However, I trust by now you will accept that I do not do propaganda. Despite its faults and the inherent establishment bias of some of its presenters Channel Four News is probably the best news programme in Europe, but, surprise surprise, the government has revealed plans to privatise it. So much for the independence of Independent Television News. They are also waging war against the medical profession who are threatening strike action over the quite bizarre terms of their proposed contracts. Westminster will not cease until they control everybody and everything on their exclusive terms, and, although I fully support their struggle, I must confess little sympathy for anyone in ITV or the medical profession who were amongst the loudest cheerleaders for the destruction of the miners, steelworkers and the general trades union movement. As they say, what goes around comes around.
My point is that the Tories and their allies in Labour do not believe that ordinary people have rights. All you are entitled to is what they are prepared to give you, and if they deem it necessary, they will remove it at a whim. The Tories are following a well travelled and quite successful trail of establishing an authoritarian society, to be followed by a totalitarian one. The methods they are using and the targets they aim at will be familiar to all who study politics and history. I do not want this post to be too long, so I will follow it up with a post on negative and positive rights and why we will, if we are not vigilant and supportive of people like Nicola Sturgeon, Shami Chakrabarti and Jeremy Corbyn, lose all our employment rights, all forms of social housing, all forms of national health care, free education etc. Make no mistake, we face a dystopian future unless we challenge the dominant narrative.

God Save the Queen?
The quite hysterical reaction to the news that Jeremy Corbyn did not sing along happily to the national anthem tells you much that you need to know about the state of modern Britain. I cannot conceive of a situation where I would sing this awful composition either. I have nothing against the Queen personally, but I have a lot of problems with the institution of monarchy, and, if I believed in a god, I can assure you that if I was asking this entity to save anything and grant it long life it would be me and my family, not our gracious queen.
I have spent years responding to people who repeatedly tell me that the queen is a wonderful person by asking them how long they have known her? When they ask me what I mean by that I tell them that if they call the queen a wonderful person they must be personally acquainted with her, otherwise how do they know she is wonderful? If they don't know her personally then they are merely regurgitating what the powers that be tell them through an endless diet of propaganda and that they should ask themselves why they are constantly being told that. Now, the queen may well be a wonderful person, but there is no way of knowing that unless you have personally experienced it.
However, even given that she is a wonderful person, it is not her I object to but the system that she represents, maintains and is the figurehead for, a system of plunderers and parasites, a system that is too abominably filthy to be cleansed, and I am sure that my sentiments are very similar to those of Jeremy Corbyn and that he does not sing the national anthem for similar reasons. In addition, I have a problem with a song that contains the sentiments in its sixth verse
Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring
May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush
God save the Queen
The recent remarks by the Tories that the Scots are becoming a threat to national security are quite likely to lead to calls that the Scots are indeed seditious and in need of a modern General Wade to crush them. Until the monarch officially orders the removal of such sentiments and that the national anthem be purged of them, I will not sing this abominable composition either, despite the fact that it is traditional to sing only the first verse. To the good patriotic citizens who express righteous indignation at people like Jeremy Corbyn and me, I can only tell you that you fall into the category of useful idiots.
I have written before that, in a country that openly despises people on social security and spews bile daily on what they call welfare scroungers and skivers, the biggest recipients of social security by a very long way are the royal family. If you want to have a go at a dysfunctional family dependent of welfare, look no further than the royals, their entire existence is totally dependent on public welfare, or, in the case of the Crown Estates, legalised theft. I will return to this theme later. You have been warned

Britain is intellectually sterile
One of the things that is so depressing about modern Britain is the absence of any real intellectual debate. For example, the charge that Labour under Jeremy Corbyn lacks any economic credibility is only valid if you accept that the dominant neoliberal free market narrative is credible. As I have written before, the claim that there is no alternative is simply stupid and makes no sense. If there is no alternative to something then that something must be true and without flaw. In other words, it must be an absolute, and there is no such thing as an absolute. Indeed the only absolute is that everything is relative (August Comte said that).
I repeat, the claim that there is no alternative is the foundation of totalitarianism. If there is no alternative to the free market economic model then that model must be true, correct in its application and the complete explanation of human economic behaviour. Empirical reality demonstrates that the free market model is useless, anti-social, exclusionary and divisive. It is only of use if you wish to embark on a criminal enterprise to loot as much of the national treasury as possible whilst impoverishing the rest of society and creating obscene levels of inequality.
I was reminded today, by an article in the National newspaper, of Winston Churchill's response to a question on the trades unions. I trust the National will not object if I reproduce this piece to save me searching for it through an interminable mountain of notes. Speaking to the Tory Conference in 1947, Churchill told them
The trade unions are a long-established and essential part of our national life. We take our stand by these pillars of our British society as it has gradually developed and evolved itself, of the right of labouring men to adjust their wages and conditions by collective bargaining, including the right to strike
I trust the modern fascist, masquerading as a Conservative, reads this and feels genuine shame (although I know that this is absurd as I write it because a sociopath does not have the capacity for shame). Churchill was a full-blooded aristocratic Tory who was no friend whatsoever of trade unions and working people, but even he recognised the essential (his words) need for the union movement. I say that these people who make up the Tories today are masquerading as Conservatives, because they in fact seek to conserve nothing and are hell bent on destroying the society we call Britain. That is their quest, the quest begun by Thatcher. In order to destroy our society she had first to deny its existence, hence the famous 'no such thing as society' dogma. Even under Churchill, Britain was a collectivist semi-civilised society but the modern barbarian Tory will not tolerate any form of collectivism unless it is the collectivism of their class interests. In its present form, the United Kingdom cannot survive because despite plenty of alternatives available, Britain is too intellectually bankrupt to even consider a mature debate. A feral and rabid free market press and media will soon destroy any real options. You have been warned

Think talk of fascism is scaremongering? Think Again
The British people should really waken up to the growing threat of fascism. Although he didn't use the word, David Davis a Conservative MP and a leading contender for the Tory leadership in 2005 likened parts of the Trade Union Bill as fascist, asking the question
What is this? This isn’t Franco’s Britain, this is Queen Elizabeth II’s Britain.”
This is a reference to the fascist government of General Franco in Spain who hammered the trade unions and all opposition to his dictatorship. I will keep saying it, the Tory government will not cease until the British people have lost all of their human rights and workers are reduced to a state of slavery. I don't know how much evidence the people of this country need but they seem incapable of seeing what is happening daily in front of their eyes and here we have a Tory MP actually warning about the threats to our human rights that I have been writing about for years. I never ever expected to find an ally in the Tory Party and if the British people want further evidence they only need to read the response of the British press to the victory of Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour leadership election. It is genuinely alarming as they have descended into the gutter with outrageous propaganda and downright lies. The Tories now shamelessly circulate a persistent narrative of lies and disinformation on every aspect of political life and they are supported by a press that exhibits a complete disregard for truth and decency. The Tories and their puppets in the press and media now resemble some of the worst aspects of Nazi propaganda as led by Goebbels and Der Sturmer. I genuinely consider the situation in the UK as approaching the serious as some of the propaganda surrounding Jeremy Corbyn, the SNP, the refugee crisis, trades unions and people on benefits is getting hysterical and has no foundation in any kind of reality.
David Davis finds much in the Trade Union Bill that he can support. I don't, it is a genuine abomination, but despite his realisation of the dangers of this legislation he is still a Tory with a visceral hatred of working people. However, credit where it is due as he realises that the identification of pickets to the police and the requirement for them to wear armbands is straight out of Hitler's playbook. That is not hyperbole by the way, that was a requirements for Jews in Hitler's Germany. All tyrannies neutralise unions as they are a fundamental part of a democratic and free society, indeed one of the building blocks of the new post-war Germany was the establishment of a powerful trade union movement into the fabric of German political and social life. But unions are a constraint on governments being able to do what they want unhindered by opposition and today's Tories are determined to get their own way on everything. There are genuine fascists in British government today and you have to waken up and recognise that. If Duncan-Smith does not alert you to this fact then you are genuinely blind. You have been warned.

Remember Pastor Niemoller!
I wrote five days ago about the threat we are now facing from our own government and their willingness to kill their own people without due process of law. The following is from an article in today's Independent by Patrick Cockburn
But the drone attack should cause real alarm because it is an extraordinary extension of the powers of government to be able to execute its own citizens with no explanation, except that the killing was for the public good and against an unnamed but horrendous threat, the nature of which is known only to the government itself. Keep in mind that the ability to execute its own citizens has been a mark of tyrannical government from Rome in the days of the Caesars to Moscow during the Great Purge in the 1930s. Where evidence for an existential threat is lacking, it can be exaggerated or manufactured, as notoriously happened in 2003 over Iraqi WMD.
Remember where you heard it first! You would all be wise to keep an eye on what your government's, both in Britain and the US, are quietly doing to the law and civil liberties. Remember, Hitler had the fanatical support of the majority of the German people for his atrocities, and also remember the words of Pastor Niemoller who, writing about his attitude towards the Nazis said
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me
He had good reason to reflect on his indifference to the fate of other people as he found himself spending seven years in a concentration camp. Does anyone doubt that today's Tories would hesitate to incarcerate their enemies in camps if they could get away with it? Indeed, that is coming, and as with the targeted assassination of their own citizens, it will begin on the excuse of national security. If you think I am losing the plot and getting paranoid, what do you call Guantanamo if it is not a concentration camp, and don't forget, the Westminster establishment is fascinated by all things American. The Tories are already telling us that the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader threatens our national security and they persistently told us that about the SNP during the referendum. The beginning of totalitarianism includes the demonization of other people and the British are embracing such demonization with a gusto, trades unionists, socialists, the disabled, the disadvantaged, the scroungers and skivers, Muslims, the SNP etc. If you want to get into the mentality of Westminster, ponder for a second on the Parliamentary Labour Party's response to Jeremy Corbyn. These people actually had a meeting where they took a decision to respect the result of the ballot. Isn't that nice of them? We should all be eternally grateful to these paragons of the democratic process that they actually considered whether or not they would be bound by the decision of the members of their party. If that is not a totalitarian mindset then what on earth is it? I mean who on earth do these people think they are? Well I know and I have been warning you for a long time now.
In the same spirit, I wonder if any of you have ever noticed one of our government ministers a certain Justine Greening, and had a good look at her? I have been watching her for some time and I have come to the conclusion that she is most definitely not wired properly. I do not wish to be unkind but the said lady is definitely scary. She has the same look I identified in Mad Tony all those years ago. You have been warned.

You don't defeat terrorism by becoming a terrorist
Britain is becoming a terrorist state. With the targeted assassination of two British citizens in Syria by a drone strike, Britain is following the terrorist lead of the United States in thinking that they can do whatever they like, whenever they like, to whoever they like. I trust someone somewhere has considered the consequences of such action. This government better hope that Isis does not acquire drone technology.
Yesterday in Parliament the Prime Minister told Parliament that he had personally authorised these assassinations. Now, regardless of the guilt or otherwise of these two people, in a country that claims to be governed by the rule of law, such people are innocent until proven guilty. Cameron refused to disclose the information he claimed made this action necessary, which of course means he was lying through his teeth, which is the default position of any British or American politician as they almost certainly have no proof or they would have been glad to show us. Having assassinated British citizens on foreign soil, they have taken a crucial step that may well lead to the assassination of British citizens here at home, an action I am convinced they have taken before with the deaths of both David Kelly and Princess Diana. What is most worrying about this is that they are guilty of the assassination of two British citizens without providing a shred of proof as to why they should have done this. British government seems to think that they have some kind of right to do such things without the tedious business of explaining their actions to the people who elect them, pay their wages, pensions, expenses etc. and the people who will have to live with the consequences of such action. Importantly they have refused to explain to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which, under British constitutional law is sovereign, which means that Parliament is supposedly superior in authority to the government and not the other way round. The first step on the road to totalitarianism is the destruction of the Rule of Law, and that is exactly what has happened this week in the UK. We must see the justification for these actions because this government are pathological liars. If ever there was a case for a motion of no confidence in the government this is it, and yet our Parliament sits with its thumb in its mouth, impotent and hopeless.
What Parliament and the British people are being required to do by this gang of criminals is take the word of the intelligence services who assured us that without any doubt, Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. If there is one thing we can be sure of is that the intelligence services are as criminal as the Westminster lot. In addition, we are supposed to take it on trust from the Attorney General that the basis for the strikes were legal when a former Attorney General assured us that war against Iraq was legal. The office of the British Attorney General is a disgrace, an institution who firmly believes that the law is for other people.
I want to remind you again what a politician is. They are simply people who have been fortunate enough to be elected into Parliament, they are ordinary people and have neither right, nor authority to take such action, particularly when Parliament voted against such measures two years ago. As I have written before, governments do not have rights, only people have rights, and if government wants the right to wage war then they must make a case for it and convince the elected Parliament of that case. I remind you again, the British political class are the people who presided over the financial crisis, who lied and deceived over the Scottish referendum, who have waged war against the poorest and the disadvantaged in this country, who took us into an illegal war in Iraq on a farrago of lies etc. etc. They cannot be trusted on anything. They are systematically undermining the rule of law and have effectively destroyed the United Kingdom as a democratic society. They will almost certainly bring terrorism and war onto the streets of our cities by their arrogance and stupidity. You have been warned.

The refugee crisis, caused by the free market, may bring about its demise.
I apologise for the length of this post as I am sure people do not like to have to read a lengthy piece, but events are too profound for levity and typical of the British media, their analysis of the present crisis is, as usual, missing the crucial fundamentals.
The refugee crisis is highlighting one of the fundamental facts about the human being and that is their social nature. Despite thirty years of constant right-wing free market propaganda and the ideological filth spewed out daily by American Republicans, born again Christians and their bleating little lambs in the Westminster Parliament, all preaching the survival of the fittest ideology of free market philosophy, people right across Europe are responding to the refugee crisis with a surprising spontaneity of compassion that is even managing to shame the British Westminster establishment and our quasi-Nazi government who refer to the refugees as a swarm. In the UK we have a piece of human detritus called Katie Hopkins who called the refugees cockroaches and told us that her answer to the refugees crossing the Mediterranean was to send a fleet of gunboats to sink them all. I am quite sure she would have been heartened to see the body of the three year old child washed up on a Turkish beach. It will have gladdened her soul and that of the editorial board of the Sun newspaper that prints her poisonous evil. It is significant that people like her stay well clear of Scotland as they know what kind of reception they will receive if they try such stuff here. But it is equally significant that she is feted as a celebrity in other parts of the UK.
The core ideological belief of the free market, the aggressive and rational individual and the denial of the social nature of the human being, summed up by Thatcher's famous 'there is no such thing as society' is being shown to be the nonsense that I continually tell you it is. I am going to remind you once again what the so-called founder of this pernicious claptrap, Adam Smith, wrote about such things, because whilst Smith was indeed the founder of modern day economics and wrote extensively about markets and human economic behaviour, what he said was very different to what today's intellectual scoundrels and fraudsters write. The core of Adam Smith's philosophy is that the human being is fundamentally motivated by a sympathy for our fellow human beings, and that the human being is undeniably a social being. It is that sympathy that is rearing its head throughout Europe and is even being manifest in the UK.
Thirty years of incessant propaganda has produced, in the UK at least, a selfish greedy and callous majority of the population that hate foreigners and who opinion polls tell us do not want any refugees to darken our shores. However, shining through that cloud of ignorance and hatred is a change looming that is worrying Downing Street and showing them up for the scum that they truly are. As you know I have little time for religion, but I am a great fan of Pope Francis who is exposing our so-called Christian rulers in both Britain and the US for the liars and hypocrites that they are. But most importantly, events are giving the lie to the dominant free market narrative. Human collective sympathy is emerging that even the Daily Mail and the Express are loath to criticise. They are still spouting the Tory narrative and repeating their lies, but they are at least retreating from their usual foreigner hatred and bile. They are trying (unsuccessfully) to appear concerned and charitable whilst seeking excuses to help as little as possible.
A significant minority of British people are at last questioning the Tory narrative and registering their disgust with their approach. More and more of the rest of the UK are looking to Scotland for guidance on a collective and humanitarian response, because England has been largely purged of normal human empathy with the unfortunate. But there are encouraging signs of change. The heartless will counter-attack, make no mistake, but this may be the beginning of the end for the ideology the Pope branded 'the dung of the devil'. Watch this space, you have been warned.

The refugee crisis is highlighting one of the fundamental facts about the human being and that is their social nature. Despite thirty years of constant right-wing free market propaganda and the ideological filth spewed out daily by American Republicans, born again Christians and their bleating little lambs in the Westminster Parliament, all preaching the survival of the fittest ideology of free market philosophy, people right across Europe are responding to the refugee crisis with a surprising spontaneity of compassion that is even managing to shame the British Westminster establishment and our quasi-Nazi government who refer to the refugees as a swarm. In the UK we have a piece of human detritus called Katie Hopkins who called the refugees cockroaches and told us that her answer to the refugees crossing the Mediterranean was to send a fleet of gunboats to sink them all. I am quite sure she would have been heartened to see the body of the three year old child washed up on a Turkish beach. It will have gladdened her soul and that of the editorial board of the Sun newspaper that prints her poisonous evil. It is significant that people like her stay well clear of Scotland as they know what kind of reception they will receive if they try such stuff here. But it is equally significant that she is feted as a celebrity in other parts of the UK.
