New All-Black BNP!

Due to an impending legal challenge, it seems that the BNP are considering changing their membership criteria to allow to allow non caucasian, non anglo saxons to join the party.

A large number of BNP members are, of course, spitting vitriol and crying ‘outrage’, but some are just saying ‘So what – they wouldn’t want to join anyway!’. Now, they may have a point there, but I see that as a great opportunity.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if every person of black, Asian or other ethnic background  in the UK all joined the BNP – millions of them! I think then, it would be a party that lived up to it’s name

Pain-free Murder

Ok I admit it – I’m a vegetarian. The reason for this is that I am not willing to kill as I do not need to. I can survive (and get fat!) without having to resort to murdering animals. I do not have that right. And I certainly don’t want some faceless factory worker in a slaughterhouse doing my killing for me either. That is pure hypocrisy.

But now, some bright spark (Adam Shriver, a philosopher at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri) has come up with a wonderful ‘ethical’ solution. Animals genetically modified so they can’t feel pain! He says “I’m offering a solution where you could still eat meat but avoid animal suffering.” That guy must have a heart the size of a planet!

What a complete load of toss. What kind of ‘philosopher’ is this guy? Does this world that exists within his own warped mind have any other brilliant notions to offer us? What about megabombs that kill so instantly that the thousands you have just wiped out are guaranteed to have had a lovely, pain-free death? Oooh, I feel so warm inside!

What about genetically modifying politicians so that they don’t feel guilt? Oh shit, silly me, that’s already been done. Killing is killing, with or without pain. And maybe the denial of sensation, which is the only way to make a creature ‘pain-free’, is far crueller than inflicting a brief amount of pain at death.

I know that 99.9% of the population do not give a toss about killing animals anyway. It’s just something they grow up with and accept as normal. But to anyone who has thought seriously about it, and has a conscience, even if they have decided to carry on letting others kill for them, I hope that they will see that this whole idea is a monstrosity and an ethical nightmare.

The state of British politics

Not a week goes by these days when I am not ashamed and disgusted by our politicians, and by the media they rely on. Take all the furore about the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the so-called Lockerbie bomber. A man who was convicted by a fairly dodgy court who ignored the lack of any real evidence and instead relied on the testimony of a  (heavily US supported) so-called witness . That’s another issue, but it must not be forgotten that with a proper trial the man may not have been in prison in the first place. When can we leave behind all the old ‘eye for an eye’ crap and start behaving with some humanity. The guy will be dead soon anyway!

Now we get down to our own wonderful politicians and the intelligence of the British press. Some mention found somewhere or other of Brown saying that he did not want Megrahi to die in prison is being used as a political whip, mutterings of double – standards, and that human jellyfish (thanks Steve Bell) Cameron is calling for a public enquiry! What a bunch of idiots and they are either running our country, or soon will be. Our current elected government have totally forgotten that honesty is the best policy, especially when we have a press who will twist any piece of nonsense they pick up on to shout ‘Outrage’ and ‘Conspiracy’. And the main opposition lap along behind the media morons ready to run with any scrap of stinking shit they dig up.

Who is the most at fault here? One can’t help thinking that the press is largely responsible. The fact that they (you know which press I’m talking about) cling to an old-fashioned, elitist, paranoid and privilege based world view, means that any politician speaking the truth would probably find themselves in the hands of a brain-cell free lynch mob. And we don’t have any politicians that have the guts to be honest and declare their independent humanity.

But, at the end of the day, it is not the fault of these trashy, self-seeking newspapers. It is society itself that needs educating. When the great mass of people who make up this country can stop thinking of  ’me, me, me’ and start to look at the bigger picture, that’s when we will see real change for good. If you look at the history of UK politics, the socialist movement was responsible for a lot of good things, the NHS, Co-operatives etc., whilst the Tories were always the ‘Me, Me, Me’ movement. That is no longer true. We now have several political parties to choose from, but they are all, essentially, good old fashioned Tories.

We really do need a revolution and every single one of us need to stop being so selfish and greedy and always looking to better OUR lot rather than society’s.

Ok – you can start throwing the bricks now…
