Collett's Ghosts Come Back

.


Sky News today reports on the Mark Collett Pacman motif I mentioned on 5th November. Ah well, after spending the last few days retuning digi boxes for people, it's good to see that they weren't missing anything.

Collett , predictably, dismisses this as a joke:

• Collett told Sky News his spoof Pac-Man picture was "simply a joke" and said he did not want to "sort out" Muslims.

  He said: "The Pac-Man character eats ghosts, but to suggest that anyone in the BNP wants anyone to eat women in burqas is laughable.

  "It's not suggesting that anyone needs sorting out, it was simply a joke."

Given how ridiculous this man is, the rumours that Collett has something over Griffin seem more than plausible.

Collett is not apologetic. Indeed he has a follow up:

Not So Plain, Janes

.



I thought I'd wander over to the Mail online site as I was feeling lazy and knew I would be pushing at an open door. There was bound to be an endless supply of spelling and grammar mistakes in the comments on the Brown Letter. Imagine my surprise at finding a sympathetic hearing for our flailing PM. What's going on? Is this a sign of compassion breaking out, or just an indication that Mail readers see themselves as a cut above The Sun?

• What kind of society are we becoming? I am not a labour supporter but stop kicking a man when he's down. He made the effort to hand write a letter at least, nothing he does seems to be right.
  
  The man lost a baby and his second child has cystic fibrosis, he's not exactly had an easy time of it. I feel people are being excessively cruel and need to lay off a bit.

  I am not a supporter of Gordon Brown and suspect I never will be. But... However badly the letter was written, it was written by hand. It would be oh so easy to write a template or two and insert the appropriate names. The letter would be well written, gramatically perfect and with and with flawless spelling. But it would be meaningless. The man put his own pen to his own paper. And for that, deserves some credit.

  - Allan P, Plymouth Devon, 9/11/2009 18:01

These are heavily supported in the ratings whilst the worst rated are these:

• I don't understand all the apologists for Gordon Brown. This man has wrecked our country, where is the sympathy for the jobless and all those losing their homes and businesses? The letter is an insult to the memory of a brave man, no wonder Mrs Janes was upset.

• and we wonder why we are a global laughing stock!!!!

  - Danny Boy, lancs England, 9/11/2009 12:37

On the face of it, the letter does look shabby and anyone who has redrafted a covering letter to accompany an application form will be aware of the time it can take to attain perfection. However, this was clearly a personal matter. Given that the Government has access to highly paid spinmeisters and advisers, one may have felt that someone had dropped the executive stress ball, but this is surely symptomatic of Brown's modus operandi.

That Ms Janes should choose to make this public via the offices of The Sun shows her in a less than perfect light. That she should then compound that by allowing her telephone conversation to be recorded (without consent) and a transcript published in this disgraceful rag, does her son's memory more harm than good.

Perhaps - just perhaps - even Mail readers consider that to be a step too far.

Hate Actually

.

As The Guardian reports, actress Emma Thompson has declared that Exeter University would be a place where Griffin and the BNP would feel at home. This comes in the light of the treatment she claims her adopted son, Tindy suffered whilst a student there.

• (She) urged a university to work to stamp out racism after her adopted son endured "unpleasant" experiences while studying there. Thompson says Rwandan-born Tindyebwa Agaba suffered because of the colour of his skin during his first year studying politics at Exeter University.

  Speaking at a diversity event at the university, Thompson claimed the leader of the BNP, Nick Griffin, would "love" the area because of its relative lack of racial diversity. She urged staff and students to carry on trying to drive out prejudice.

This is how BNP Deputy Leader Simon Darby reports this:

• Switching to the Daily Telegraph which reports that the vile trade in African children appears to be spreading. Self-loathing white liberal and actress Emma Thompson even goes so far as to utilise this inverted form of people trafficking to advocate the replacement of the white population of Exeter. Notice how the report emits the statistics for the percentage of white people currently resident in Rwanda:

People trafficking? Apparently Tindy was only informally adopted by Thompson so the inference that this is a Madonna type shopping excursion is totally wrong. Indeed (according to Wiki) he was fighting deportation up until last year. For once we'll rely upon a report in The Mail on asylum (though notably he's referred to as a refugee in the positive article):

• Tindy came into Miss Thompson's life when he was only 16, after being introduced to the actress and her second husband, actor Greg Wise, at a Refugee Council party in London.

  Tindy's father had died of Aids when he was nine and his mother and sister were listed as missing after the 1994 Rwandan genocide - they were raped by soldiers and abducted, never to be seen again.

  He has nightmares about it to this day. Tindy had been forced to serve as a boy soldier, and had escaped the country thanks to the charity Care International.

  "He didn't have much English, but we just got talking," says Emma. "His experience had been awful and when he finally got to Britain after tremendous suffering, he told us the Home Office didn't believe him.

  "He spent two nights sleeping rough in Trafalgar Square before they finally did. It was the only time he considered suicide.

Darby continues his contemptuous piece with this:

• She will turn 51 next April and perhaps we should rise to the challenge and show how kind and considerate us BNP people are when faced with such a chronic case of ethnomasochism. If we all club together, perhaps we put the poor girl out of her misery and arrange for some of her organs and limbs to be replaced by those from donors from Africa. Having been suitably modified and enriched she could then lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life, happy knowing that she had become a living embodiment of the anti-racist cause. A perfect and thoughtful gift.

All good patriotic stuff from Darby. Note the dog whistle term 'enriched'. This is what passes for nationalist humour and perhaps gives us an insight into why Darby felt that the video on the BNP site entitled 'Spot The White Man' featuring a walk through Peckham in London and includes the commentary "“Ever felt like a foreigner in your own country?”

A speech bubble has an Asian man saying: “Please don’t film me – I’m illegal and I’m working for cash in hand, innit.”

Darby defends the vile video by saying, “It’s a hard-hitting, topical thing that people will find funny. We are linking to it on our website.”

The Mail also picks up on the story today. In keeping with their symbiotic love affair with the BNP, the article is fairly neutral but the comments are mostly pro-BNP. Of note is this one from a fellow immigrant:

• If she wants to live in a more diverse area, why not move him to Peckham or Wembley or one of many majority ethnic areas instead of constantly complaining about how white Britain is.

  - Stephen, Vancouver, Canada., 7/11/2009
  

I wonder where Stephen of Canada got that Peckham bit from?

Tindy is a young man who has suffered so much yet has managed to achieve so much. Yet many people believe he should be so thankful for being allowed to stay here that he should turn a blind eye to naked racism. Maybe he should just smile and buy a golliwog from the BNP site. As Emma's father might have said, 'Boing!'

Mark Collett: More Puerile Muslim Bashing

BNP man-child Mark Collett has been showing the party's true colours again. The Hitler admirer, who seems to exist in a cartoon world, and who came to fame in Young Nazi and Proud and in the recent BBC interview, wants his online fans to vote for his latest graphics effort.

If you click on the screenshot you'll see that the picture is of Pacman chasing burkah-clad aliens with the strapline 'Pacman - sortin' out Muslims since 1980'. Class.

Glory of the Jury

.







Fresh from Daily Mail readers wanting a form of Sharia Law introduced to the UK, we see what some of them think about our present legal system when applied to the BNP.

Commenting on the acquittal of an Asian man on charges of racially abusing Nick Griffin, the Mailites clearly believe that our jury system is failing the racist in the street.

• One law for them and no law for the public seems to fit the system we have now.
  
  I am no supporter of the BNP but this sends out the wrong message

  - AlanUK, UK, 4/11/2009 16:03 (1100 people agreed with that)

• If Griffin had used the same language ,I suspect the court woul have arrived at a different result.

  - dennis jones, newbridge gwent,

  The man said "I shouldn't have done what I done really, it was just a spur of the moment thing"
  Is that not an admission of guilt? How come he was cleared?
  Nobody in this country should be racially abused, black or white.

  - Karen, Manchester, 4/11/2009 15:52

These people are either too stupid to read the story - Mr Khalid admitted shouting at Griffin but not using the words 'white bastard'. His version was accepted by the jury but this is not enough for the Mailites. Obviously the jury was made up of 12 members of UAF specially empanelled for the occasion.

Any dissent against this know-it-all mindset is given short shrift.

• So, like many others, the jury has found Nick Griffin to be a liar. Thank goodness for the British jury system.

  - Ella, Leicester, 4/11/2009 15:40

The jury system isn't perfect and heaven forbid that one would end up before a dozen of the more rabid of DM readers, but it works well. Perhaps Griffin may reflect that his performance on Question Time cast doubts on his credibility. Lying about being misquoted and why he couldn't tell the audience about his changing Holocaust beliefs do not make for a star witness.

UPDATE

This is what Griffin says about the case on the BNP site:

• Three events this past week all prove that there is one law for British people and another for the Third World colonisers of this country, said Nick Griffin MEP.

  “Over the past seven days we have seen the acquittal of a Muslim who racially abused me in public. Earlier, all charges were withdrawn against the black UAF thug who attacked Liverpool BNP activist Tony Ward with a claw hammer, and then I was refused entry into Sellafield power station,” Mr Griffin said.

Griffin then turns to his usual victim status for whites stance:

• “There are numerous cases where indigenous British people have been sent to jail based on no other evidence than what a single Third Worlder has said,” Mr Griffin continued.

  “The case of Kevin Hughes, for example, who was imprisoned purely on the word of an asylum seeker with no other witnesses, springs to mind. Yet when a Muslim man abuses me personally in front of witnesses, he is discharged.

• “The double standards are blatant. An indigenous white person’s word is worth less than a Third World immigrant.”

Here are some of the comments (moderated and therefore sanctioned by the BNP)

• Given the acquital of the gent who abused Nick Griffin MEP, following on from the racist references to Nick's colour on QT; can we now assume that it's ok to shout abuse at someone based on the colour of his skin, and to make threats against them? And it won't even be a breach of the peace?
  Now, where can I find Trevor Phillips. I assume there will be no problem with shouting abuse at him. I can think of quite a few choice phrases.

• As has been said in numerous posts on this site. You just couldn't make it up.

There are also calls for a Nationalist Government to overturn these decisions. Kinda tells you all you need to know about what these vile individuals would like to introduce to this country. Firtunately there is more chance of Griffin winning Strictly Come Dancing.

Crime and Punishment and The Idiots

.



Some breathtaking logic over on today's Mail Online. It must be hard being a Mail bigot because life throws up dilemmas. Who to hate more? Muslims or paedophiles? There is that famous joke about how to confuse a Mail reader - you tell them that Muslims eat paedophiles. Ho ho. Life imitates art though today.

Saudi paedophile to be beheaded and crucified screams the headline.

• A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the desert.

The offences were clearly appalling and the average Mailite thinks that the man would have got a community sentence in the UK as all the bar room lawyers line up to give their rational thoughts. Some are a bit peeved that the death sentence is carried out by a swift sword blow before the body is displayed for the drooling masses. Remember the Python sketch where the vox pop guy suggests putting little birdies down the throat to peck them to death?

Send in the clowns:
*

Fitting punishment, however, he should be crucified first, in the middle of the desert, where he left that poor child to die. Evil monster.

If only our justice served the same punishment, this country would be a much safer place.

- Hayley, UK, 4/11/2009 11:05

Superb! He won't do it again!

- Gareth, Harrogate, 4/11/2009 11:00
Surely beheading first is a little too quick. Would not crucifixion first, in the scorching desert sun obviously, be a better option?

- Jack Sprat, Bristol England, 4/11/2009
May I ask the people that suggest this punishment is OTT, what would YOU want the punishment to be?

If, God forbid, it was one of your children this man attacked.

Popping him in a soft touch prison, giving him community service etc? Letting him out to re-offend, which let's face it, he would do.

Harsh in the extreme though this is, he won't be doing it again will he?

- H, UK, 4/11/2009 10:59
"That's the way to do it" AND to the gentleman from Derby, the UK used to have severe penalties for ALL crimes. BUT with the arrival of "pinkies" and "Slap the other cheek brigade" the criminal is a sad case and needs to be saved! Mr Derby person, talk to the regular man in the street, not the staged ones, you will find that many, many milliona of indigenous folk want the death penalty resume, TODAY and that life in prison means 50 years plus, NOT 12 years.

You better believe it.

- David on the beach., West Bay Dorset.

(David even manages a BNP dog whistle about indigenous folk whilst not quite appreciating the irony of BNP poplicy on Islam.)

Leave Me with This or any Child killer, with a pair or pliers & a blowtorch, it might take some time !

- Mike Allan, Chatham Kent England,
Not enough of a punishment in my opinion. That poor, poor toddler to endure such a drawn out painful death.


Still, it's more justice than the kids in Labour Britain get.

- fay, Surrey, UK, 3/11/2009 20:10

(Extra marks for dig at Labour there, fay)

Plenty good enough - how long before it will it be on Youtube ?

Paedophiles are vermin that have no place in society. Their condition is untreatable, and they are always likely to reoffend.

Why waste so much time trying to help them ? Resources would be better spent on helping the victims of crime and building more prisons.

Our liberal, do-gooder establishment are completely out of touch with reality. The Human Rights brigade worry too much about the rights & feelings of criminals. Face facts, serious crimes, such as those against defenceless children should carry the ultimate penalty.

Problem we have nowadays is that too many people in a position of responsibility are prepared to look the other way or make excuses for people. Whatever happened to individual's being accountable for their own actions ?

Tough on crime, Mr Blair ? Rubbish.

- G, Kings Lynn, England, 3/11/2009 20:37

(This sicko wants to watch it and probably has Saddam's execution as a screensaver)

A good punishment for a sick peado. Why can''t we hand out this very appropriate sentence to UK offenders? Put it this way, he won't re-offend, or cost the taxpayer anything in the future.

- MARTIN CANE, CLITHEROE, 4/11/2009 8:47

Of course a few dissenters get through but are quickly attacked as do gooders and liberal.

* Pity we can't have a few in our courts...."

Sounds like the Mail's readership is just about ready for Sharia law in the UK....wonders never cease.

Seriously - this man committed some awful awful crimes; but whether or not the death penalty is justified (a separate debate...), it is beyond belief that any jurisdiction in the 21st Century still uses such medieval methods.

I doubt any Westerners who witnessed a Saudi public execution would still consider this acceptable.

- Oliver, London, 4/11/2009 9:17

The comments are hardly surprising given the recent ones applauding the death of an immigrant in the Channel Tunnel. If he turns out to have been a sex offender then the Mailite dilemma would have been lifted.

UPDATE

I note that the Independent also covered this topic and even referenced the confuse a Mail Reader joke. What is more interesting is that Channel 4 will showcase a drama 'The Execution of Gary Glitter' set in a Britain which has the death penalty. Perhaps another dilemma: evil, porn-filled C4 or stringing up a Paedo?
