An Engaging Geezer
Conservative London Mayor Boris Johnson thinks Nigel Farage is �rather an engaging geezer�
in his criticism of Cabinet Minister without Portfolio Kenneth Clarke�s �ill advised
insults� targeting UKIP. Clarke in an interview with Sky News when
asked if he agreed with Prime Minister David Cameron�s view that of UKIP as �fruitcakes
and closet racists� responded �I have met people who satisfy both those descriptions
in UKIP� before going on to say ��It is very tempting to vote for a collection
of clowns or indignant, angry people, who promise that somehow they will allow us to
take your revenge on people who caused it.� Johnson was joined by Conservative backbencher
Nadine Dorries who criticised Clarke's comments when she tweeted �I suppose Ken Clarke's
strategy of being rude to and insulting Tories about to vote UKIP means we don't want them
back for general election?�
UKIP leader Nigel Farage hit back, deriding the veteran minister without portfolio as
�a bloated remnant of the ancient r�gime, plucking crumbs from his velvet waistcoat
and disdaining the people beyond the gates�. "They are concerned because we have a million
youngsters unemployed, we have wages being driven down and I am afraid a crime wave in
London being caused by Romanians already. "There is nothing in UKIP that is racist in
any way at all and Ken Clarke knows it.
W@8 �***! In the strongest terms!
UKIP claims they are non-racist well in today�s PC crap that may be true but they still mention
Romanians by name � if the BNP did that we would be classed as yet again �racist�.
UKIP are anti-British and anti-European and I don�t mean anti EU.
UKIP don�t after all these years have a stated immigration policy.
They talk of a million youngsters unemployed and have no policy for rebuilding British
industry and creating jobs, but they claim they will reduce the red tape and strengthen
small business. They do however have a Food, Farming and Countryside
policy that supports GM food research, a Supermarket Ombudsman and a reversal of the Fox Hunting
ban.�
Rejected Candidate For Being �Too White And Too Jewish�
The Labour Party is embroiled in a race row after a prospective female councillor, Elaina
Cohen, was allegedly told by Labour councillor Mahmood Hussain that he would not support
her application for an inner-city ward because �My Muslim members don�t want you because
you are too Jewish and too white to be considered.� Instead, members were presented with one candidate,
black South African Hendrina Quinnen, who was selected by an almost unanimous vote.
W@8 states �And who do Labour accuse of being �fascists?�
34,000 Criminals Say Sorry and Are Let-Off By Police
Community resolution allows offenders to avoid criminal record.
Increasingly used to tackle violent attacks such as stalking and hate crime.
One in eight violent crimes resolved outside court in some areas of the UK.
Tens of thousands of violent thugs are escaping a criminal record simply by saying sorry to
the victim. Almost 34,000 violent criminals � including
some who have carried out knife crimes, *** assaults and serious assaults � were dealt
with using �community resolutions� last year.
They avoid a criminal record because they do not have to go to court nor do they receive
a police caution, which also appears in police records.
Last year, 33,673 violent crimes were dealt with under the scheme.
That is a fifteen-fold increase in four years. That total includes 10,160 serious violent
attacks, including grievous bodily harm and other assaults in which victims suffered injury.

Germans See Islam As A Threat
A major study of attitudes towards religion says Germans approve of openness towards other
religions. But many are still suspicious of Islam.
Former German President Christian Wulff earned much praise but also much criticism when said
in a speech during his tenure, "Islam is also a part of Germany."
The criticism can be partly explained by the "Religion Monitor," a survey put together
for the Bertelsmann Foundation. The findings have been published, and among
them is the fact that half of all Germans believe that Islam does not fit into the Western
world. They saw most religions as an enrichment,
especially Christianity, also Judaism and Buddhism, but a majority of 51 percent saw
Islam as a threat. But it's not just in Germany - in many western
states, Islam is seen as a particular threat. That applies to 76 percent of Israelis, 60
percent of Spaniards, 50 percent of the Swiss and 42 percent of US citizens.
All the same, there are differences among western European countries: France, Britain,
and the Netherlands all see Islam in a more positive light than does Germany.
Just When Greeks Thought It Could Not Get Worse
The Greek parliament passed a bill on Sunday which will see up to 15,500 public-sector
workers laid off by 2015. The job cuts are among conditions set by the
EU and IMF in return for �8.8 billion in emergency loans.
The bill, which passed in a 168-123 vote, will allow for the first civil service layoffs
in more than a century. About 2,000 civil servants will be laid off
by the end of May, with another 2,000 following by the end of the year and a further 11,500
by end-2014, for a total of 15,500. The legislation is the latest wave of Greece�s
draconian austerity program.
W@8 states �This is nothing short of financial blackmail of small state by larger states
� I don�t envy the Greek people at all and other nations should be wary of the �fatherland
of the EU�.
Netherlands Ends Multiculturism
The Netherlands makes good on its promise to end multiculturalism.
The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism
that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel separatist society within the Netherlands.
The Netherlands, where 6% of the population is Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism and
most of the taxpayer-funded benefits to immigrant ingrates that it demands.
A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to Parliament
on June 16, reads: �The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural
society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people.
In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role.�With
this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.
The letter continues: �A more obligatory integration is justified because the government
also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society
gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands.
The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants.
For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language and the government
will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.�
The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according
to Donner; �It is not the government�s job to integrate immigrants.�
The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also
impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the
way they dress.
W@8 comments �This sentiment is good but for Holland it is too late.
They have shut the stable door long after the horse has bolted.
There are enough Muslims already there and breeding to ignore whatever laws the Dutch
bring in. There will have to be stronger measures taken
if they want to preserve what way of life the Christian Dutch have left�.

Tokyo governor 'sorry' over Islam gaffe
The governor of Tokyo apologised to the Muslim world Tuesday after saying Islamic countries
have nothing in common but Allah and "fighting with each other".
Naoki Inose, whose city is bidding for the 2020 Olympic Games, was forced into the climbdown
after telling the New York Times that Islamic nations are belligerent and overly hierarchical.
The comments were seen as a slight on bidding rival Istanbul, which is vying to become the
first city from the Muslim world to host the Games.
But on Tuesday, a chastened Inose appeared before television cameras to say sorry.
"There were remarks that can lead to misunderstandings among Islamic people," he told reporters."So
now I clearly apologise. If there are remarks that can be misunderstood,
it is the inadequacy of my expression. "I said (people) are fighting in some Islamic
countries, but I think it was inappropriate. I want to correct it."
Inose's comments come as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is set to arrive in Saudi Arabia,
on the first stop of a swing through the Middle East that will also include Turkey.
Tokyo's bid office had already moved to neutralise the impact of the gaffe, amid fears it may
fall foul of International Olympic Committee rules prohibiting criticism of other bid cities.
"Tokyo 2020 fully respects and adheres to the IOC guidelines for the candidate cities.
Unlike many other developed countries, largely mono-ethnic Japan does not have a significant
Muslim population, and there is little emphasis in the educational curriculum on cultural
sensitivity.
W@8 says �Cultural sensitivity my behind. Islam knows nothing of and has no respect
for the sensitivities of other cultures. Now even the Japanese are being force to respect
Muslim sensitivities. The old saying �*** walks and money
talks� comes to mind, except that Mayor Inose wasn�t talking *** in New York
just in Tokyo where money spoke louder than the truth.
What he said was in essence correct.�
Assad against the Western world?
Georges Clemenceau, French Prime Minister during World War I, said:�War is too important
to be left to the generals.�
Chief of the British defence staff General Sir David Richards, who is standing down in
July, told senior military officials that any move against Syria, under the pretext
of chemical weapons use by the government forces, would have to be carried out on a
huge scale, which is not advisable, the Sunday Times reported.
The general also argued that imposing a no-fly zone like the one in Bosnia in 1993 would
not be effective because of Syria�s air defences.
"Even to set up a humanitarian safe area would be a major military operation without the
co-operation of the Syrians. In Syria, we have to be prepared to go to
war," he warned.
Richards also said that Cameron needs to be extremely cautious and decide whether it is
sensible to intervene in Syria even if its government forces did use chemical attacks
on anti-government militants. His warning follows Cameron�s comments on
Friday that raised fears of another Iraq-style scenario in Syria.
While confirming they do not have adequate evidence that shows Syrian government forces
used chemical weapons against terrorists, Cameron accused Damascus of using such weapons
and of �war crimes�. US officials declared on Thursday that the
Syrian government probably had used chemical weapons twice in March, newly provocative
acts in the civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people and displaced hundreds
of thousands more.
Last week Tuesday, top IDF analyst Brig. Gen. Itai Brun told an audience at a security conference
in Tel Aviv that the army was quite certain that President Bashar Assad deployed chemical
weapons against rebel forces in Syria on March 19th.
W@8 asks �Are you frightened yet, if not just go to this report on Radio Britain Online
and read the highlights of just one of one day�s news reports from a Google Alert on
Syria. If you are not frightened yet, you should
be. This is one Muslim pie we should keep our
fingers out of except maybe to give Assad the same help we are giving these democratic
rebels who are killing their own people.�
Thought for the Day- Muslim for a Month?
Well you might say I have a bee in my bonnet over Muslims or Islam, well I don�t but
I am surprised to learn that our establishment, government and other governing authorities
and of course the ever lax and disloyal media do seem to have a problem with the peoples
of this particular faith and I use that word loosely!
The problem they have with them is the direct opposite to the feelings I and many other
people have who are not always nationalistically minded and that is �distrust and wariness�.
It isn�t fear of the unknown as Muslims and liberals would like to think, but a direct
knowledge of exactly how the majority of them do feel, think and act!
Now having gained access to the reading material in lower bogland as I shall call it (refer
Monday) I came across another brahma for my listeners � who I know are busy electioneering
prior to the big day tomorrow!
Under the heading of �a Life less ordinary� and �The Faith Dealer� we have Ben Bowler
who has jumped very cleverly into the Luvvie and Multifaith mould out of which he gains
lots of friends, contacts, holidays and money and of course a write up in the Digest!
What a clever fellow!
He is from down under which could account for his reverse thinking � did I say that?
Oh Naughty, naughty me!!! For all our listeners in the Antipodes sorry
mate!
He is a �charismatic Irish Australian entrepreneur raised a Catholic and has created a unique
series of spiritual travel programmes. Monk for a Month and Muslim for a Month.
These are now heralded as �trailblazers for a new kind of tourism�.
I�ll say! Now the Monk for a Month ran into trouble
with the Thai authorities who are usually against anyone other than Thais making money
out of Thailand, in 2010 when the authorities whose palms had not been greased enough said
that �he was profiteering from an experience the Thais undertook for free� but they have
resumed again. To come is to be a Sikh for a Month in the
Punjab oh dear try mixing that with being a Muslim for a Month and you�ll have partition
all over again! Tibetan Buddhism is running the gamut as well,
just launch your unfortunate customers into Tibet and let them run the gauntlet of Chinese
troops and colonisers out there matey for a true experience of Tibetan life!
He had an epiphany at Ayers Rock in 2006 and whilst his wife Jildou and he were teaching
in northern Thailand they had another namely �Wouldn�t it be fun to bring in foreigners
to live in a temple too?� Yup fun and profitable and an open market
to lost souls who are desperately seeking �the truth�.
Now for free and on W@8, Cronespeak can tell you the truth about seeking the truth.
Like a reflection in a mirror, like a rainbow - constantly moving and never obtainable except
maybe at a price too high to pay� � there my own words and problem solved!
Now the one thing the Digest didn�t plug was the actual cost of these spiritual journeys
to the east � just the name of website to go to, worldweavers.com.
And in the true ethos of journalism I went to that site and still couldn�t find any
mention of money be that donations or travel expenses.
Now call me cynical but does Ben pay the costs of hauling various religious refugees around
the world for weeks on end out of his own pocket?
No of course not, so how much does it cost to be a Muslim for a Month?
No sodding idea mateys! The mantra for this organisation is Unite,
Inspire, Engage and Develop. Now these titles should be a warning to all
nationalists � they reek of the Hope not Hate brigade but words like this unlike the
realistic world of true nationalism brings in the dollars as Farage has found out!
Always appear to do good and think lovely thoughts � *** the truth and you will
get all the kudos and schekels you need!
But of course in the real world he doesn�t have to organise for these people to go to
Turkey but just pop over the borders in England and see Islam at its very best in their own
locale! Seemples � I have got myself a travelling
money bag here � the British National Party could do coach trips to Southall, Bradford
and Keighley to see all the sights, smells and sounds of the Middle and far East!
What an opportunity to enrich our members and activists in the ways of Islam and indeed
even Hinduism and Sikhism. Now for more local Hampshire members they
could be a coach trip with beer stops incorporated to parts of Aldershot and Farnborough for
an in depth knowledge of the Nepalese in their own habitat, including varying stops along
the way at a good mixture of takeaways and restaurants.
For those with more exotic tastes � there are large pockets of Somali Africans and more
in our small villages and towns locally. I could even include a spiritual stop at one
of the local mosques or Islamic centres dotted around most towns to immerse ourselves in
the culture which has mainly been forced on us and for which we in the UK have had little
escape!
Of course this Ben is a shrewd businessman and runs the entire shebang from Thailand
including a school for the Shan people � who are the underdogs of the Thais and have not
fared well in the past � good for him but why the dedication to peoples not of his tribe?
Why doesn�t this man have a Christian for a Month day?
Why not Catholic or Protestant for a Month? Or even Jewish for a Month?
Hell we could have Amish for a Month or Plymouth Brethren for a Month?
I can understand the pull of the East and am something of a Buddhist myself in that
I avoid killing even small insects and between our European consultant and I there is a continuing
war as I am Supreme Commander of the Mole Liberation Army and he has a mole problem
but that aside but I would still kill to protect myself, my family or anything else if I had
to. No seeking or understanding will erase the
basic differences between the races and cultures and neither should they seek to.
King *** tried that one with a very unsuccessful end � peoples are made to be different and
in that difference lies the success of mankind not the downfall.
Different horses for different courses is my mantra and in my mantra, my country and
land is for peoples of mainly my tribe or tribes � not for the general enrichment
of our land to the detriment of other lands.
Muslim for a Month began its journey in 2011 and has had more than 300 customers and �was
soon a hit� in Ben�s words. Of course from Ben�s family the usual idiot
speak came out which Ben has used to his own ends � namely �will you learn to make
bombs? Ben�s comment on that is predictable and
straight from the Diversity course, that believe it or not I undertook many years ago.
Rather like �computer speak� this is a language which most political figures learn
at the breast or the *** and goes thus �Spending time with Muslim families is a
powerful way to break down prejudice and to correct distorted perceptions.
Guests and hosts alike say that the programme has left them transformed�.
What more can say on that one? Of course it has left one �transformed�
because you are seeing the side of Islam that you want to see and they want you to see!
To see pictures of the be-scarfed European women doing the Muslim for a Month tour in
Turkey is sickening and unrealistic. Just as bad as the white supremacists who
insist that only the white race is good enough to people the entire world are the religious
and race traitors who think that the white races are not good enough to be anything more
than converts or slave labour in their own countries.
Ben or Bowler as I shall call him decided to do Muslim for a Month after 9/11 owing
to the fact that this act of removing over 3,000 innocent souls had led to a �vicious
circle of ignorance and contempt towards the Muslim faith� � well it would do wouldn�t
it Bowler � face facts Muslims couldn�t deny that one and even without all the excuses
they seemed to bring out, that act has not exactly shone in the annals of human history!
To raise my blood pressure even further one Terry Goldsmith from Bury Lancs, decribed
as a postman first and Christian second has said �The Muslim for a Month trip was amazing.
We couldn�t have been treated any better if we were royalty.
I learned that Charity is a pillar of Islam but that is ignored by the British Press.
Sharia law isn�t about cutting people�s hands off it�s about family matters such
as inheritances that need to be settled in court.�
Another well meaning female came out with the fact they had had a henna night for just
women and she then compared these women to our drunken girls which is really no comparison
at all and she would rather be there than shaking her *** in public�.
Well I am with her there, but then again I am of an age when shaking my *** in public
would be downright indecent and not a pretty sight but also it doesn�t make me want to
rush off to a local mosque and convert!
Bowler may be well intentioned but gathering from the fact that all his revelations and
�lights in his head� are highly compatible with the sub cultures now brewing in Europe
and the US of �reaching out and understanding our enemies� and �winning hearts and minds�
it all points to a very well managed and publicised propaganda money making machine.
I am not out to �down� Bowler as he self funds a school and obviously works very hard
but his mantra is appealing to a section of society who need to apply liberal thoughts
to their own people. I would take a bet that most if not all his
customers wouldn�t break bread with a British National Party member or sympathiser � they�d
be too bigoted to even listen to another point of view.
These people appear to have open minds but they haven�t � they are just as bad as
any person with a closed mind � it is just another end of a spectrum although Bowler�s
customers think they are all encompassing and compassionate � what they are doing
is fuelling dangerous fires in promoting that the Muslims especially are free thinkers and
accommodate other religions or cultures. They don�t!
So my message to the peoples who spent good money in travelling around Turkey to see �how
Islam works� you should really go to the Sudan where Christian churches and Christian
natives are regularly killed and tortured, when their young girls are sold into slavery.
Go to Dubai where all the Indian workers live worse than slaves in order to build the monstrosities
there. Go to Egypt where the Copts are living with
increasing persecution. Go to Saudi where little girls are *** in
the name of Mohammed. Go view the site of the World Trade Centre
and tell me Islam is peaceful. Go see the slaves and young girl traffickers
in the UK and see true misery. See the immense profits that only profit the
Muslims in the drug trade. Go next door if living in Lancashire and see
the �groomed youngsters� who are less than human to your Muslim charmers.
Go round your own countries if European and really see what is going on under your noses
with the re-colonisation of your country and a changeover of your religion.
I have done a tour of an Islamic Centre in the UK and they were charming and very polite
� but underneath that is a soul of stone � because despite all the brainwashing � and
unlike most religions apart from the old style Catholics � they want to convert and get
more followers and money for Islam. People are power to Muslims � the more they
get the happier they are.
Remember that tomorrow � Islam is like UKIP � all on the surface is happy clappy and
smiley � underneath there is a dark star waiting to emerge in all its glory � and
it will not be to your glory! Also remember that at least in the British
National Party, whatever the media say about us - what you see is what you get � we aren�t
hypocrites or liars � but the truth always hurts which is why so many politicians and
business personas avoid the truth like the plague � the question is will you?
And finally- A dim move but by whom?
The headings in the Mirror boasted that an �OAP has new driveway laid that's blocked
by new lamppost � and that �The embarrassed great gran now faces a bill of up to �1,200
to shift the light so relatives can park there�. They also glowingly praise �Hampshire council
who said: �We will co-ordinate the work to provide a dropped curb and move the lamp
to keep costs to a minimum.� Pensioner Kathleen Annals - had a driveway laid � just days
after the council put up a new lamppost outside her home.
Widow Kathleen, of Andover, Hampshire, today admitted she blundered.
She said: �I�ve done it the wrong way round.
I had the drive laid after the lamp went up. "I�m happy to foot the bill but I hope the
council can shift it soon. Well Kathleen, I have news for you - Hampshire
County Council and the Police seem to have a down on Pensioners � remember Margaret
Walker of the leaflet case? Well this Presenter says that if you look
at the pictures of the drive and lamp you will see that although she had her work done
after the lamp was in position you will see that perhaps the lamp itself was not placed
in the right position in the first place. Although she clearly has no dropped kerb to
allow for a car driving passing over most lamps are placed not dead centre of foot access
to a property or on that properties boundaries. They are normally placed on the gutter side
of the road and usually with a property boundary in view.
It was idiots who paved the path and Council idiots that put the lamp up.
Two wrongs do not a �right� make and the council are acting as con men in getting her
to pay for what is in effect a dual mistake. Talk about great grans and pensioners and
you would think losing your marbles is part of the title!
Shame on you Hampshire Council and I live within your boundaries as well and indeed
have a picture of a car parked in it�s rightful place under which the Hants CC had written
a SLOW warning for the school at the top of that road!
The CC bods should have placed the slow warning on the opposite side of the road which has
nil parking? Duh!
You have been listening to the W@8. I am Lynne Mozar and I wish you all a very
