The Barren Wombs of Smart Women
Jim Goad of Taki�s Magazine summarizes London School of Economics researcher Satoshi Kanazawa�s
book The Intelligence Paradox.
In the book Kanazawa says A statistical analysis from England suggests that a woman�s IQ
is inversely proportional to her desire to breed.
Controlling for variables such as education and income, he reached the following conclusions:
* With each increase of 15 IQ points, a woman�s urge to reproduce is diminished by 25%.
* * The average IQ of women who want children
is 5.6 points lower than those who don�t want them.
* * Among all 45-year-old women in England,
20% are childless, but this figure rises to 43% among those with college degrees.
* The paradox is that women who are measurably
more intelligent based on IQ tests are dumber in terms of evolutionary survival instincts.
Goad closes with The grand irony is that by failing to breed, this new breed of woman
will breed itself out of existence.

Unite Produces Videos for Lessons in �Strategies for Public Protest� to brainwash schoolchildren.
The Daily Mail reports The Unite union has launched a campaign to teach children how
to carry out militant protests. Pupils could be given lessons on how to make
placards, oppose local businesses and fight plans for privatisation.
Videos have even been produced which encourage children to defy school rules.
Unite � run by left-wing firebrand Len McCluskey � has joined forces with the main teaching
unions the NUT, NAS/UWT and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers to get the material
into schools� Last night head teachers and Tory MPs described
Unite�s plans as �reprehensible.�
Nigel Adams MP said: �This propaganda is almost North Korean.
It might be acceptable in the schools of Pyongyang, but not in Britain.
�These cack-handed attempts to pedal trade union ideology in schools would be funny if
it wasn�t so dangerous.� Mike Griffiths, head of Northampton School
for Boys, said: �If anyone even remotely suggested it where I work they would get short
shrift. The notion of encouraging children to undermine
teachers is reprehensible.�
W@8 �At last someone is realising the grim truth, that most of our children are propagandised
from birth by Labour, Marxism and the Common Purpose brigade�.

Belgium: Syrian Jihadist's Wife Gets Her "Integration Money" Cut Off.
The Centre for Public Assistance in Antwerp has suspended the payment of integration money
to the wife of a presumed Syrian combatant. According to the weekly newspaper Het Nieuwsblad
op Zondag, the husband of the woman concerned, a member of the radical Salafist organisation
Sharia4Belgium, is said to have left for Syria in May.
This woman lives in social housing with her three children.
Until now she was receiving an integration payment of 1000 euros per month.
Her husband refuses to provide for his family. He was a member of the radical Salafist organisation
Sharia4Belgium, now disbanded, and left for Syria last May.
His own integration payment was suspended shortly afterwards.
"This woman doesn't speak Dutch, even though she has lived in Antwerp for more than 6 years.
She told us that she would not learn Dutch and that she doesn't want to look for work.
In cases of this type, we would always take the same decision." In the meantime, the Antwerp
police have carried out checks in the homes of various "jeunes" to see if they had left
for Syria. If so, they will be erased from the population
register. Which, in some cases, will mean that their
parents will receive no more family benefits. Cheradenine Zakalwe reporting for Islam versus
Europe says This is the first I've heard of these "integration payments".
So the Belgian government routinely pays out 1000 euros a month for years to incoming Muslims
even though they don't learn the language, don't look for work and participate in openly-declared
jihadist organisations?
Germany: City Government Demands Shop Owners Avoid Using Christian Symbols in Christmas
Lights
The aim of refraining from the use of Christian symbols in the new Christmas lights in the
city centre has met with criticism and incomprehension. "This is misinterpretation of what tolerance
means," said the former city deacon, Father Heinz-Manfred Jansen, speaking to the ST [newspaper].
Christian festivals would be senseless and empty if their content was no longer understood.
Even in the city hall there is unhappiness about the plans from retailers and city management.
Tolerance among religions should allow for Christmas lights to contain recognisably Christian
symbols, explained city manager Hartmut Hoferichter. The cause of the irritation is statements
made by Christoph Krafczyk.
The city manager from the city centre office had indicated that the new lighting concept
for Christmas time would aim for "neutral elements".
It should appeal to everyone, he said, "in the end we are living in a multicultural world".
...Germany always succeeded in integrating people of another faith, without forgetting
its own traditions in the process, said Solingen's FDP leader Ulrich G. M�ller.
"Why should we deny our own roots? We are still the majority in this city.
And those who are coming to us, and living here in the third or fourth generation will
have these roots sometime too." W@8 states.
�Well Christoph Krafczyk (Craafshik) doesn�t even sound German and I am surprised that
the Germans are rolling over with a pot of Vaseline for the mainly Islamic element in
their towns, especially in the light of their religious history�.
Bring out the Christmas Bells and Christ�s cradle and all � rub their noses in it so
people don�t forget they are in Europe now!
I now hand you over to NICK GRIFFIN MEP who is talking today about Fracking and the large
businesses behind it and other assorted goodies.
Parliament is shut until next week, so there are still a few days without news of any more
crazed EU meddling or red tape bondage scandals. Normal service will, however, resume shortly!
In the meantime, with fracking being so much in the news, it�s worth our while taking
a closer look at some of the main issues in the shale gas controversy.
It is now well known that, despite widespread local opposition, fracking has transformed
the energy situation in the USA. The question is, can � or should � it
do the same here in Britain?
Obviously, there is a huge amount of propaganda out there about fracking.
On the one hand, the claims about burning tapwater are, it has to be said, exaggerated.
But, on the other, so too are many of the claims made by the pro-fracking lobbies financed
by the oil industry � perhaps the most destructive and rapacious gang of corporations in the
world - after the banks.
How seriously should we take their claims? Well, here�s a clue for you: Halliburton.
That�s the giant company headed by George Bush�s right-hand-man (or, perhaps more
accurately, puppet master) *** Cheney. Former US Vice-President Cheny is one of the
neo-con gang that created the disastrous Iraq War.
I say �disastrous� from the point of view of a normal, rational human being, who sees
mass ***, thousands of children being born with birth defects caused by depleted uranium
shells, crushing government debt, and the deaths and maimings of thousands of British
soldiers, as self-evidently bad.
From the point of view of Halliburton, on the other hand, the Iraq War was a nice little
earner. They made Billions of dollars supplying the
US military as they demolished Iraq, and then made Billions more rebuilding it.
Nice work if you can get it � which only Halliburton did on the key contracts where
they were the only company even allowed to bid!
But what�s this got to do with fracking? Rather a lot, if truth be known.
Because the worldwide patents for shale gas fracking are owned by - Halliburton.
That�s right, the people who gave us the lies about WMDs and hence the Iraq War also
make fortunes from fracking. How comfortable does that make you feel about
those rosy pro-fracking claims about energy self-sufficiency and safety?
One of the claims made by pro-frackers worries me even more, because it�s true.
At a pro-fracking briefing meeting I attended in Brussels last year, industry partisans
acclaimed the �fact� that the majority of the companies involved in the huge shale
gas industry in the USA are SMEs � Small to Medium Enterprises.
So, you see, fracking isn�t being done by the big, bad oil giants.
It�s a small, friendly industry run by honest, hardworking little self-employed chaps in
hard hats, a bit like a young John Wayne. Plenty of room for the little guys.
Plenty of local jobs.
And if you believe that, you�ll believe anything!
A glimpse of the big business realities of shale gas fracking was given this week in
an article in the Daily Telegraph on 21st August.
Entitled �Poland's shale drive will transform Europe, if it does not drop the ball�, this
dwelt at some length on the problems encountered by those trying to develop the industry in
Poland. Incidentally, the majority of the shale gas
exploration licences in Poland are owned by one George Soros.
Two Polish experts quoted in the Telegraph article give us a glimpse of just how big
an operation fracking really is: Quote "There have been a number of very poor bore holes
so far," said Mr Poprawa, now at the Energy Studies Institute in Warsaw.
"This has to be admitted, but it was mostly due to lack of experience �.
We need at least 100 lateral drills to reach any conclusion.
So far there have only been six."
The piece continues: �Mr Fanning said it is a �fallacy� that Polish shale gas is
unusually hard to extract. �The rocks are 2,500 to 4,000 metres deep,
which is not so different from the US. Even if they are deeper, there is more pressure,
so you get more gas. It balances out.
"The catalyst that is missing in Poland is sheer intensity of drilling.
You need 60 wells in each area to find the right 'recipe', and until you start fracking
you are just guessing. There have been only three or four horizontal
fracks in the country so far." Unquote.
Drilling through 12,000 feet of rock, then having to drill sideways at least 100 times.
60 wells in each area just to �find the right recipe� � does that really sound
like the kind of thing your local garage owner could get into as an SME sideline?
Of course not. But it is a fact that the majority of fracking
companies in the USA are Small to Medium Enterprises. So what�s going on?
It�s really very simple. And very sinister.
They are indeed SMEs - on paper. And that�s for a very good, or - from the
point of view of residents of vast swathes of Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire,
Kent, Sussex, Dorset, South Wales and Scotland - a very bad reason.
The giant oil companies are the only people with the equipment, know-how and money to
run such huge-scale operations. But they set up SME front companies with very
limited share capital to be the legal owners of their fracking businesses.
The small front company takes the profits and launders them to the parent company.
The wells are exhausted after a couple of years and the leased equipment is moved on
to pastures new.
The temporary eyesores of drilling rigs every few hundred yards, the thundering lorries,
the open waste pits of millions of gallons of recycled water laced with poisonous fracking
chemicals � it all gets tidied away. The scarred, industrialised landscape begins
to return to normal. House prices might even start to recover.
And then local people find that the capped wells are leaking into the water table, so
they call the company to arrange the required clean-up operation.
Only to find that it�s gone into liquidation. It�s small nominal share capital wouldn�t
in any case even have paid for the survey needed to assess the scale of the damage,
let alone cover the potentially astronomical cost of putting it right � if that�s even
possible when you�re dealing with polluted groundwater.
There�s no point setting lawyers on the parent company, because the SME front carries
all the legal responsibility � and it�s vanished.
So the clean-ups either won�t get done at all, or they�ll have to be funded by the
government. Except that there�s no such thing as government
money � there�s only money the government gouges out of people like you and me through
a thousand and one different taxes.
Speaking with a very senior expert from the Russian energy giant Gazprom in parliament
last year, he told me that this was precisely what cause Russia to reject a proposal by
one of the biggest American oil companies for a joint venture in the Russian Arctic
recently.
The company with which they were about to sign the contact had the name of the parent
company. It looked like the US parent company.
It sounded like the parent company. It was going to use the equipment of the parent
company. But when the Russians looked into its ownership
structure, they found that the company wanting to exploit a vast chunk of Russia was a legally
totally independent limited company with a mere $10,000 of share capital.
All its assurances about clean-up operations were worthless.
So, since Russia is run by nationalists, they told them where to stick their contract.
We need to tell people these facts. Fracking is already becoming a huge issue
in British politics, and it�s going to become an even bigger issue in the lives of families
and entire communities all over the country in the next few years.
As nationalists, we understand the key responsibility of governments to think long-term, to take
into account the interests of future generations as well as the short-term need for cash.
Accordingly, our instinctive and informed reaction to shale gas fracking is that, while
it may be appropriate in the vast, almost unpopulated wide open spaces of the USA or
the Russian Arctic, it is wholly unsuitable for our crowded little island.
It is irresponsible madness to risk environmental disaster for the sake of a few years� cheap
gas (or rather, big gas profits for foreign companies and a tax-windfall for the Treasury
to blow on Foreign Aid and foreign wars).
Unfortunately, the criminal stupidity of successive recent governments, particularly since the
Climate Change Act was passed through parliament with just two MPs voting against it, means
that Britain has wasted so much time and money fighting the mythical threat of Man Made Climate
Change that we are fast running out of energy options.
Our coal industry has been murdered, our nuclear industry sold off to foreigners, our power
stations are being closed thanks to EU regulations, our beautiful countryside has been despoilt
by armies of near-useless subsidised wind turbines, and our energy bills have been inflated
to line the pockets of carbon criminals. As a result, the lights will soon start going
out, and the pressure to exploit shale gas will grow and grow.
Which, of course, is why Big Oil, particularly Shell, surreptitiously funded the useful idiot,
water melon greens to discredit the coal and nuclear industries in the first place.
The BNP position is simple: If Labour and ConDem folly really has left Britain with
no choice but to develop shale gas in at least some areas, then the loot-pollute-and-scoot
model of foreign corporations hiding behind limited liability SMEs must be banned.
Instead, the reserves should be carefully developed by a state-owned company run on
the same lines as Norway�s hugely successful nationalised oil industry.
But while that would ensure that all the jobs went to Brits, that all the money stayed in
Britain, and that funds would be set aside for proper clean-ups and complete environmental
restoration, it is still far from ideal.
Steel rusts. Concrete rots.
Can we really guarantee the long-term safety of sealed �up disused wells?
Think back to the aftermath of earlier fossil energy exploitation and the coal slagheaps
that bothered no-one � and remember Aberfan!
Far better to take urgent action right now to develop the energy technologies needed
to put the oil and gas era behind us by choice, rather than because we run out, as we have
already virtually run out of North Sea Oil.
The present government�s efforts in this regard are, needless to say, pathetic!
The UK spent a mere �66 million on nuclear research and development in 2011.
MPs� expenses that same year totalled �71m.
The ConDems� 'Long term plan' for nuclear energy published this year committed �15
million for a new world class National Nuclear Users Facility, awarded a total of �18m
to 36 nuclear research and development projects, and allocated �12.5 million to join the
Jules Horowitz Test Reactor programme which is being constructed in France.
That�s �45.5m for our nuclear future, while MPs� expenses this year will come
to more than twice that! We can see where Parliament's commitment lies.
In the 1960s, Britain led the way with research into the generation of electricity in ultra-safe
Thorium plants. The Dragon Reactor in Winfrith, Dorset built
on experiments in the USA in the 1950s and showed great promise, before being shut down
to cut costs.
As the headline on another article in the Telegraph on 21st August, pointed out: �Scientists
are turning their attention to thorium, a cleaner and cheaper alternative to uranium�.
The huge potential of thorium is now being worked on in Norway and China, leaving Britain
to slip behind in another field in which we could have led the world.
And while the government grudgingly puts �45 million into a pathetically inadequate nuclear
research programme, they plan happily to blow a staggering �72 Billion on HS2, just to
knock 20 minutes of train journey from Manchester to London.
There is an argument for high speed rail. The North West of England could well benefit
from the improved connection. But the price is now simply too high.
HS2 should be shelved at once and the money instead invested in a massive, co-ordinated
plan to increase the energy efficiency of everything we do in Britain, and to develop
new world-beating home-grown industries in deep wave energy, clean coal, solar power,
thorium and hydrogen-power for transport.
There is an enormous prize to be had in terms of recreating our hard industrial base, our
future exports earnings and the return of skilled and well-paid working class jobs on
a huge scale. And, in addition, prompt action on those lines
would allow us to leave the shale gas safely in the ground, and our Green and Pleasant
Land intact and unspoilt for future generations.
Thank you Nick, The one thing worrying me is the large difference in the actual depth
of drilling needed between the so called established �fracking� ops in the US and the UK.
Friends of the Earth say this �risks earthquakes� but the experts say that in �millions of
fracking operations in the US there has not been one tremor big enough to cause damage�.
Now although not an expert this doesn�t make sense as Chris Wright chief director
of Liberty Resources in the US and one of its biggest investors � says �that in
Britain the shale beds are more than a mile thick as opposed to the US where they are
a just �few hundred feet�.
Now as a newbie to fracking language, I would have thought if we had a larger amount of
earth and rock to drill through to our shale beds which are apparently deeper than the
American ones � then our drilling would be more damaging to that area than just going
down a shorter distance as they do in the States.

Iranian TV Western War Crimes in Syria Exposed
Press TV Iran says There was a time during the 30-month covert dirty war on Syria when
the Western governments and mainstream media would make a clamour over reported massacres.
Now, despicably, these governments and media just ignore such atrocities.
Why? Because it is increasingly clear that the
groups committing these crimes against thousands of Syrian civilians are the foreign-backed
mercenaries, whom the Western media and their governments have tried to lionize as �rebels�
fighting for �democratic freedom�. That charade is rapidly disintegrating, exposing
not just criminal Western governments sponsoring the violence against civilians, but an entire
media industry that is also guilty of war crimes through its willful complicity.
This is not mere hyperbole. To disseminate false information and lies
about conflict � under the guise of independent news � is to be complicit in covering up
war crimes. You can hardly get more serious misconduct
than to tell lies about crimes against humanity.
W@8 as much as it galls me I have to agree with Iranian TV for the English Speaking World
on this particular subject , which features in my Thought for the Day today.
Climate Theories Crumble as Data and Experts Suggest Global Cooling
So-called global-warming alarmists are in a frenzy after the latest climate data confirmed
the Earth actually appears to be entering a potential cooling trend, sea-ice cover in
Antarctica is growing to record levels, tornadoes and hurricanes are at record lows, and more.
According to experts, the most recent revelations continue to make a mockery of alarmist claims
� debunking United Nations theories about human-caused global warming and the wildly
inaccurate supposed �climate models� used to forecast doom and gloom by forces seeking
carbon taxes and more centralized government.
Proponents of what is known as �anthropogenic global warming� theories, which claim that
human activity is to blame for alleged warming, have long warned that increasing levels of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would lead to �catastrophic� warming.
The problem is that even based on data gathered by the planet�s premier climate alarmists
� the U.K. Met Office, for example, or various U.S. agencies � shows that global warming
stopped more than a decade and a half ago, as The New American reported last year�
Already, in an apparent effort to save face � and perhaps huge amounts of taxpayer funding
� NOAA was caught using cherry-picked �scattered weather anecdotes� as �evidence� that
the globe is warming. �If you think scientists just couldn�t
get any more incompetent, then think again,� Gosselin continued in his report demolishing
the government�s bogus claims.
Thought for the Day- Are we seeing another Holocaust in Syria or not?
You will have to judge for yourselves if we in the west will be paraded around the various
sites of �terrible acts of man�s inhumanity to man� and made to pay for it unto the
10 generation � or it will all simply get lost or be the subject of years of misinformation
and heavily biased media to teach anyone in the future not to be �patriotic� or fight
for a governing body already in place � or indeed the other, more likely option of bringing
in all the rest of the world and it�s mother to do ones dirty work for them under the much
used guise of �democracy and the people�? I think we can all guess what could happen
if allowed. Q Iraq and Libya and the so called Arab Spring
which is, in fact, the Arab Winter of their discontent taken on by the UN, NATO and the
EU like a soiled baby who needs its *** changed!
Now my message to like minded people is ignore, totally ignore the pictures and films on the
main stream television, that media of which Marx and Goebbels would have been proud � and
the same media to which even the lazy minded Brits stay glued, screwed and tattoed to most
of the time! Even the newscasters on the ITV especially
are turning blue in the face with indignation and �horror� when broadcasting the carefully
cut clips that have been sent to them via the even more biased northern Irish reporter
who always �does� the Palestinians and seems to love a good massacre, especially
when it is the wrong side he is promoting!
Now I am not a Holocaust denier, never have been, never will.
But I am open to the fact that many of these poor souls died of hunger and disease and
that a large number of the millions were not just Jewish but anti the Third Reich, homosexuals,
gypsies and political prisoners. That is not denying the Holocaust occurred
� like the Muslims seem to get away with � but that like all terrible acts of war
that take place within the countries at war � happen and we all know history is written
by the victors and not on the screens of Hollywood � who, if we face the sad fact, have been
making millions of dollars from the Nazis, the Third Reich and WW2 since it ended.
Viz a viz the Pacific war as well. But I digress.
Now back to ITV and we were warned before it started that the piccies would �upset
people� this was just to build the hype � and get you all waiting for the inevitable
terribleness of it. And of course it came, a very overlong section
of the news was devoted to piccies of children crying and dead babies � but very little
was shown of the places that received this �chemical cocktail� and why.
Now call me cynical and I am sure you will, but why just children?
Why is it that whenever we get news footage out of a Muslim country it always contains
children? Do they think we in the West are any more
prone to aahing and umming over a child? Forgive me but this lady aint for turning
in that direction either!
Now unless all these poor little mites were lined up in one place at one time without
any adults to speak of present and then one side or the other showered them with nasty
chemicals, took the pictures and walked away � then I fail to see how numerically this
could be achieved � especially as some of the so called footage has been taken off old
shots and according to Russia Today much of these films was posted before the actual event
allegedly occurred. Please see link at bottom of this Thought
and under the general heading of �News of chemical weapons attack in Syria published
one day before massacre happened - Islamic Invitation Turkey� More proofs of the false
nature of the claims being parroted by the media in support of political pygmies with
a *** for blood!
Now it seems very sad that to get proper informed news and not the almost hysterical diatribe
given out on BBC, ITV and even Sky with the US Fox news hovering on the fence with Obama
who knows the truth but would never admit it � it is Russia Today that apart from
your own Nationalist W@8 that imparts the nearest thing to the truth � which is often
unpalatable but a necessary force in reporting.
You have to face facts that all the reports out of Iraq were false, Libya was a set up
and a farce which had dangerous repercussions for all of the Arab world and led to Egypt
which unless the Generals get a strong government going � will never be the same country it
was and now we have Syria � and I have the greatest respect for President Bashir al Assad
� he is fighting not only the heavily funded Islamic fundamentalist military machine but
like the Nazis � although I use this with trepidation � Assad if fighting without
God on his side. God is clearly Black, Christian, very wealthy
from arms deals and wears the ridiculous badge of Democracy firmly stamped on his forehead
with the UN and NATO and the western Press firmly up his backside and the green flag
of jihadist Islam gripped in his hands!
Now poor old �baby killing� Assad has the Devil on his side � and I say this because
actually fighting protestors and trouble makers in your own country is clearly the work of
the Devil and the Anti Christ. Trying to keep your country safe and doing
away with people who would ruin it and indeed come into your country from abroad to do so,
albeit ably funded from God and his arms deals � is clearly the work of Mr Satan from downstairs.
The UN has sent Inspectors into the country, now this was arranged months ago and they
have been �inspecting�. The reason they cannot �inspect� parts
of Damascus is that there were no chemical weapons sites to inspect and that part could
be under the control of the so called Rebels �or Islamic Crusaders as the media portrays
them!
Now in the Voice of Russia they say and I quote: The Islamic politics and cultural website
Islamic Invitation Turkey claims that several videos were uploaded one day before the reports
on chemical weapons use near Damascus in Syria. This evidence shows that the terrorists massacred
people then recorded the scenes to deceive the world, but they gave themselves away.
Terrorists in Syria uploaded the video of their crimes in East Ghouta, Damascus on August
20, 2013 and then blamed the Syrian government for the attack early on August 21, 2013, says
the IIT website.
We all know that Islamic fundamentalists, in any country, show no qualms in killing
or placing children and babies in the line of fire, that is what they do to make the
western press cry the crocodile tears they do - but you can read the link for yourselves.
Read it and remember Bosnia and all the wrong information we are still being subject to
in films and books, because one day we British Nationalists, whilst at present suffering
a total media ban, might be the subject of �misinformation� and the Hegelian Dialectic
� which is alive and well in our media and government and indeed throughout all our establishment.
Support Assad as being a man who wants to keep his country free from the so called �democratic�
rule of idiots and retards � who would take his country back to the Dark Ages � as indeed
they have done, with western help, to many Arab countries over the last few years.
Why? Money, oil and troop training.
That is why.
And finally- Zey seek em there, zey seek em here as well!
French pigeon hunters cause mayhem in English village.
Apparently we are now being invaded by French peasants hunting our Pigeons!
Residents of an English village, Tilmanstone in Kent, said pigeon hunters visiting the
area from France are creating "the sounds of the Wild West."
Councilor Mog Ovenden of the Dover District Council said pigeon hunters around the village
of Tilmanstone are "causing a danger to the public" by "shooting across our footpaths"
and in the process "frightening horses," The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
An 18-year-old woman had to be air lifted to a hospital when she was thrown off a horse
startled by the sounds of pigeon hunters. "I have confronted these Frenchmen but don't
know what more I can do," Ovenden said.
Rachel Bate said she was shocked to hear the "sounds of the Wild West" while visiting her
parents in Tilmanstone. Police confirmed there has been "tension"
between locals and the pigeon hunters. They said the injured woman has not moved
to file charges over the horse incident.
This presenter says, �They may be classed as vermin but they are OUR vermin!
We have enough with the French exporting their cheap wine and fishing in our fishing waters
without them coming over to hunt our birds. I like pigeons and feed them, in fact I have
quite a few who come back day after day � we love em and even the cats leave them alone.
What to do with these ***? Either shoot em back or send them to heavily
enriched areas so they can catch and kill our Swans and barbecue them � I think a
hefty fine should do it. What would our coppers do if we suddenly sprouted
guns and waved them about, they�d kill us that is what!
Most unfair but it is up to the people of this village to fight back�.
