multiculturalism is broke

Since the recent events regarding the arrest of self-proclaimed social activist Tommy Robinson (who I am not his biggest fan but I respect what he has been doing recently which is to bring matters to public attention despite the flak he is getting) for reporting (via a live Facebook stream) the comings and goings outside a court in Leeds concerning 10 alleged child-grooming rapists who all shared a common ideology turning up for trail, there has been a serious concern for the public exercising their Freedom of Speech and a fear that UK is turning into a dystrophy state, an Orwellian police state who’s citizens are being anesthetised with shit TV and false news, encouraged to tolerate the intolerable under the banner of diversity and if we are outspoken or voice criticism then this is a hate speech and we can face the wrath of the courts.

The ring-fence protection given to this (or any ideologies) will encourage far right hate groups to fill the vacuum of silence and this is the very last thing we want as this should be debated openly and addressed peacefully and if multiculturalism is to work in the UK certain reforms must take place within certain ideologies (but I do fear this will prove to be impossible but we need to think about future generations and prepare safe havens and encouragement for those who wish to leave such ideologies behind or to follow more acceptable interpretations within their communities (build bridges not walls) but before this happens we need to face the facts, we all need to be like Rosa Parks and not give up our seats on the bus!!

 I do fear I post too much criticism about this on my blog but we can’t just sit on the fence without engaging or encouraging debate, we all have our part to play and this should be done by our own research into what is happening and demands to our government that what is happening is unacceptable, we are supposed to be a democracy not a theocracy (well you know what I think about democracy from past posts) I would like to post an article here which Allison Pearson from the telegraph wrote. “Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Oxford. The towns change, but the pattern is always the same. Gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani Muslim heritage, lure white girls as young as 10 with gifts and displays of affection. Next, the girl is raped as a way of “breaking her in”.

Once the child’s spirit is subdued, and her mind fogged with drugs, she is sold for sex to multiple men at £200 a time. If the girl tries to break away, a gang member might threaten to behead her or firebomb her home. Mohammed Karrar, who was found guilty in the Oxford sex-grooming case this week, took a scalding hairpin and branded one girl so she would know she was his property. Later, the gang gave the same girl a DIY abortion. She was 12 years old. And this, all this, is happening in Britain now. In a particularly warped twist, the pimp will teach his victim that her parents are racist towards Asians, which is why they disapprove of their relationship – absolutely nothing, of course, to do with him being a violent, controlling thug. Gang members have grown wise to the wimpy ways of Western society. They exploit the fact that police, newly trained in “cultural sensitivity”, are terrified of being accused of racism. So the pimps operate with impunity until, years later, the slave girls find the courage to testify in court against their masters.

 We all know what happens next, don’t we? Leaders of the Pakistani Muslim community – essentially a Victorian society that has landed like Doctor Who’s Tardis on a liberal, permissive planet it despises – are at pains to deny that the grooming gang’s behaviour has anything to do with ethnic origin or contemptible attitudes towards women. Then Sue Berelowitz, the lamentably foolish deputy children’s commissioner, trots out her lame line that Asian men targeting white girls is “just one of a number of models”, even though such “models” account for an improbably large proportion of all gang sexual abuse. Did Berelowitz not hear Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for North West England, when he blamed “imported cultural baggage” for appalling crimes by members of his own community? “The men think that women are some lesser being,” he said. The chief constable who was in charge while all that torture and rape was going on in Oxford appeared on Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday and said that she took “full responsibility” for shocking police failures. But, no, Sara Thornton, head of Thames Valley Police, would not be resigning. Why ever not? Because saying you take responsibility is the new not taking responsibility, stupid. All that remains is for the panel on tonight’s Question Time to do a little gentle hand-wringing about the Oxford horrors before it concludes that no particular group is implicated in these vile, misogynistic crimes.

And, once again, the fear of racism will have trumped sexism, and hundreds of young girls – or the “hollow shells” of girls, as one tearful copper called them – will be betrayed. Then we can all sit back comfortably and wait till the next hideous court case comes along, probably in Bradford, where at least 30 men have been arrested in the past few months over child sex-grooming allegations. Sue Berelowitz may believe the perpetrators could turn out to be Buddhist podiatrists. But I wouldn’t count on it. At least some good has come from this spate of incredibly distressing cases. Those brutalised young women have not testified against their tormentors in vain. Courageous Muslim writers and community workers have spoken out with repugnance and great moral clarity. Kris Hopkins, the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, believes the police crackdown in Bradford reveals that the political correctness that made the authorities reluctant to act in the past is gone. Maybe. But what remains is a political class still far too timid to challenge growing and alarming separatism in Muslim education and law. It is 30 years since I first taught English to Bangladeshi women in their flats in Tower Hamlets, and I still remember how those smiley, interested ladies shrank and cowered when their husbands came home.

Only one thing can permanently change the misogynist behaviour of certain Pakistani men and that is the education and empowerment of their daughters. Female emancipation drags societies with even the darkest attitudes towards the light. But what hope is there of those girls getting the education and status they need to take their men to task? Back in January, there was a profoundly disturbing case at Nottingham Crown Court. Adil Rashid, who had “raped” an underage girl, was spared a prison term after the judge heard that the naïve 18-year-old attended an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless. Rashid told psychologists he had no idea that having sex with a willing 13-year-old was against the law; besides, his education had taught him to believe that “women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground”. If the fresh-faced Rashid had picked up that view in a madrassa in Karachi it would be profoundly depressing, though not surprising. But the school he attended was in Birmingham, for heaven’s sake! Although it cannot be named for “legal reasons”, the school is voluntary-aided – mainly funded by the taxpayer. At this hugely popular Islamic school, where a majority of pupils are from a Pakistani background, boys and girls are taught in separate classes; a segregation policy no normal comprehensive could get away with. Rashid’s barrister said: “The school he attended, it is not going too far to say, can be described as a closed community.” So, the defence against a rape charge by a young Muslim living in 21st-century Britain was not just ignorance of the law (which should be no defence at all). It was that the law and, indeed, the values of the wider country, were irrelevant in his Islamic school, even though it was a state institution funded by citizens who would go straight to jail if, for instance, they tried to have sex with a child. The fact that the judge accepted Rashid’s defence shows what a god-awful mess this country has got itself into over multiculturalism.

 I reckon Britons in a hundred years’ time will look back at us in outraged astonishment for allowing Islamic schools to flout the laws of the land and teach boys that women are worthless. All Islamic schools should be obliged to introduce mixed-sex classes, so boys can learn at first hand that girls are their equals, or those schools should be closed. If you teach boys that a female is no better than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground, eventually you produce a pimp who thinks that you break a girl’s spirit as though she were a horse, before branding her with your initial. That man and those attitudes have no place, no place at all, in Britain now”

Communism and Cuba

There are over one million Cubans exiled. We often hear and fall victim to the bull shit spewed by academia imbeciles who have their knowledge of communism/socialism from "politically correct " books and received "lectures". If you visit Cuba you will see the famine, lack of electricity and other human neccesities, they have things because the exile community sends everything from medicines to portable air condition window units. Taxi drivers make much more than doctors and engineers. Now don’t get me wrong on this, I am aware that the usa has spent billions of dollars and over 50 years trying to make cuba fail.

The Cuba headache probably could have been resolved in 1961 or 1962 when the world knew that the revolution was the beggining of communism just 90 miles away from the US mainland and millions of assets, American dollars were tied up in this island that was almost a part of the U.S.. The big catch was that Cuba had no oil that could be harvested by American interests and the states had a president that was hypnotized by what was going on with South East Asia and never thought that Russia would eventually have missels 90 miles away form U.S. shore, ballistic submarines just a few miles away, squadrons of Mig 23 & 25 just one or three minutes away from Miami.

 The cuban refugees in Miami across in the states sent tons and more ton s of every kind of goods to the island to "help" the left behind family that didn't even had toilet paper to wipe their butts and that was a big help in keeping the regime afloat. I am myself guilty of being glazed over by the idea of a small island such as Cuba holding up two fingers to a superpower nation, I bought and read the books of Castro before visiting Cuba. I saw the (now I know very few) positive sides of Cuba since the revolution such as the education and health system and thought that hey, this communist system can’t be all bad, if once across there and I saw the poverty and have since spoke to ex-pats living in Edinburgh and Glasgow. One such ex-pat I spoke to, an older gentleman said his homeland of 1959 was a jewel compared to the Cuba of today. No one makes money except prostitutes. The people who (were) his family and used to consider him a worm for asking for an AC, a coluor television, toilet paper, medicines, vitamins, toothpaste when he lived there and it goes fir to all consumer goods. He talks about the Takeover of “the Rat” known as Fidel back in 1960. It pissed him off that he is now 68 years old left Cuba at 10 and still I can't go back! I have another well traveled friend from Cuba in Glasgow who her and her family also suffered due to communism in Cuba, but I don’t have permission to write her story so won’t but believe me that it’s a sad one.

 The theory behind Communism is (I know this is basic) that everyone contributes what they can, and takes what they need. The key word in that is need. It will only ever work on a small scale because of human nature, and greed. It fails on a large scale, and then has to turn into a dictatorship with the people at the top succeeding at the expense of the people at the bottom and this is what has happened to Cuba. I stayed at a casa across there and was impressed they had toilet paper which I did not expect after reading some guides and had brought my own in my bag from the U.K. upon asking about this I was told that the owner of the casa spent 4 hours in a queue awaiting to buy toilet paper!!! I saw queue of cuban people waiting outside shops when I left the tourist grid!!
Communism in Cuba is courtesy of the USSR who were victorious over German Nazism and Italian Fascism on the battle field. The old saying goes," To the victors go the spoils of war." In this case , the spoils of war are being able to denounce the political system of the vanquished, while ignoring the evils of their own. Mankind is always trying to take a smooth running government system and trying to make it pay off like a fruit machine. There is a lot of negativity about a capitalist society, especially said by followers of certain political groups here is the U.K. such as labour and SNP (not seeing either of these parties have communism swings ..eh, well....Corbyn ...but let’s not go there on this post) but communist society is not the utopian life I may have once believed when it is put into practice, quite an eye opener going into a pizza restaurant in Cuba and to be told they don’t have any pizza on the menu today, can you imagine that when visiting the capitalist capital of New York :) (Siderite about the pre-mentioned political parties about, their supporters need to be wary of being indoctrinated into thinking socialism is the correct path, certainly ironic with labour and there recent sellout to the Muslim Brotherhood, again something which I have wrote about on another post) A recent visit to Berlin also let’s me to believe this, and May across there depending upon which side of the wall you grew up on. Although a taxi driver who drove he from the airport to my hotel did insist that life was better on the east side before the wall was torn down but this was due to immigration (but Merkel has a lot to answer about this) Communism may appear appeal from the outside in but those trapped within are climbing walls, digging tunnels or building rafts to escape, let’s not be so quick to turn the AK47s into ploughs, looking towards the Far East it appears more have died due to the ideologies of communism that the frantic brutality of Nazism. As someone once told me.
