Derby Day, and Be Christian

Two big derbies on TV today.  One is full of sectarian bile, the other of normal football hate, division and, er, banter.  In one, the visiting side walked up the road from their Tannadice Park ground to play the game, and walked back down afterwards with no trouble from the fans.  In the other feeble attempt at football, both sets of fans displayed flags and sang songs of a sectarian nature, none of which belong in Scottish football.  

One gathered vast news reports, much TV and radio time, and exaggerated false enthusiasm from the commentator Ian Crocker.  The other, somewhat one-sided game, had real enthusiasm, some decent unbiased comment, and totally biased fans.  A proper derby!  

I doubt there was sectarian bias at any other game in Scotland this weekend, why do we allow this to continue at this one?  Scottish football is well worth watching, it would be improved without this sectarian strain.

 

I notice the more desperate and ungodly members of the Conservative and Reform parties are making a bid to claim they represent 'Christian Britain.'  They claim Britain (they never call it the UK) is a 'Christian Country,' and this ought to be protected.  This is ungodly nonsense picked up from the 'White, Gun toting, Flag carrying, Non Church Attending' American, who just hates immigrants because he has been told to hate them.  Americans, that is, USA citizens, need someone to hate.  Now that Communism has died, and they are not bombing Arabs they need a new hate figure, so immigrants it is.  This idea is now being tried in the UK, where some of the least likely to visit a church are spouting this drivel.

By 'Christian Country,' what they really mean is 'Islam is an enemy!'  Thus giving you something to fear, while these lying politicians take from you all your rights, pensions, benefits, right to live, housing support, employment protection, and allow you to pay more tax while they take and take while avoiding tax by putting their money overseas.  

Stupid people fall for this.

And another thing, as the Conservative Party organised all these hotels for immigrants, why was there no demonstrations at the time?  Why have these right wing paymasters invented all these groups leading these protests?  Where were they when the Tories were in power? 

 

  

Demonstrate!

It's not everyday you find the park full of Essex police finest.  So to find them wandering about since before 10 am was a surprise.  Two or three were gathered around the gate, then others, with a variety of names across their backs, began to gather.

It transpires that a demo was to be held outside the (closed) council offices, regarding the asylum seekers who are housed in a disused airbase not that far from the town.   The local population cannot be more than 1500 and with a recent announcement of plans to increase the asylum numbers to 2500 anger was forthcoming.  

What is there to do in such a place?  Nothing!  How could 2500 strangers be coped with?  The several hundred there at the moment are one thing, this increase an unacceptable to some, problem.

So, they gathered at the council yelled and chanted, blew horns and noisy things, and within an hour or so had gone to the shops.  With the lasting effects of my cold I declined to go and look myself, but it appears no trouble arose, the police made their way home slowly, overtime was paid, nothing much occurred.  

What was the point?

The council went to court to stop this, the MP, a one time cabinet minister opposed it, and still does, and they are getting nowhere.  Does anyone think this will make a difference?  I suppose they have to do something.  

This I think, is slightly different from the usual demos.  The Tommy Robinson attacks on asylum seekers brings many flag waving, head shaven, large well built, and not too bright, Englishmen to such demos to 'protect women and girls.'  The fact that many of the 'Farage Rioters,' had convictions for 'domestic assault,' indicates something else.

What to do with asylum seekers?

First, ban politicians from using them as weapons to increase their popularity.

Second, close down papers that lie about asylum seekers.

Third, publish true figures rather than allow lies to spread.    

Fourth, lock up Robert Jenrick.

It is not possible to stop Tommy Robinson, he is on his eighth luxury 5 star holiday, this time in Northern Cyprus, with the wife to which he gave all his money. then divorced.  She just happens to be with him, having gone bankrupt herself owing thousand to the tax man and various others.  

I wonder who  is paying him?
