Unpublished LETTERs TO A newspaper!

Dear Editor
1) A citizen wrote to Jacqui Smith (previous Home Secretary) criticizing her for her part in creating a police state. (source: 'Bloodless Revolution' - Vernon Coleman)

The citizen was the summoned to an interview by his GP; the latter had received a letter from FTAC (Fixated threat Assessment Centre) - a quango under the jurisdiction of the Home Office. The GP was required to examine him and "enquire into his state of mind". Presumably, had the GP "certified" this citizen, it could result in confinement, without limit of time, in a mental hospital.

This procedure reminds one of Soviet Union and East German practices, wherby anybody criticising the state could be silenced.

2) Lord Ahmed (a Muslim peer) was jailed for 12 weeks for killing a man on a motorway, while texting.
Ahmed, a justice of the Peace, was actually released after only 16 DAYS, due to "pressure of business", etc! It is unlikely that any ordinary citizen would receive such a light sentence.

Dear Sir,
If Enoch Powell's prophesy contained in his so-called "Rivers of Blood" speech has not yet been fulfilled his conclusion that the British were "stark raving mad" to allow immigration in the modest terms which existed in the 1960's is amply seen in the imminent Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill.
The British economy is in fiscal collapse, unemployment soars, poverty levels here are on a par with those in Romania and Poland, Government spending is away beyond diminishing tax revenues, yet Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy waxes enthusiastic about funnelling even more immigrants into our crisis-ridden Scottish society.
He promises to "manage" immigration so that only those who have the "right" skills" will be permitted to come here and make "the right contribution" to the Scottish economy. Quite apart from any other criticism of his fatuous rhetoric why has he and his demented confererates only now seen fit to attach conditions to entry to this country. Like the rest of their piecrust promise they will not manage immigration. Their ideological purpose is to destroy the British people as a national identity and replace it with a rootless, multiculture and in this deadly purpose they are succeeding.

Islamic Salvation?
My Sunday newspaper supplement features a weekly question and answer style interview with a “personality” . Two significant examples are : “When were you last naked in front of another person?” and “When did you lose your virginity?”
 Pre-teenage pregnancy numbers are soaring, leading to children of 10 and 11 being issued with contraceptive pills. A boy of 13 was “heartbroken” at NOT being the father of a girl’s baby. Sexual assault by a 4-year-old has been reported. Paedophilia is so deep-rooted that decent adults and children no longer interact, fearing even to look at each other.
Community life is ruined by political correctness. An able-bodied army languishes in our benefits culture system, some as cheats, others with government collusion to manipulate unemployment levels. Self-serving politicians and financiers set a revolting example, while our criminal justice system is the sickest of jokes. A televised diet of mindless prole-fodder shapes our national culture.
Islam is widely regarded as a threat to our way of life, but doesn’t it need threatening? I couldn’t recommend my own country to any foreigner. Islamic society, though anathema to many of us, is stable and ordered.
The law of gravity applies equally to physics and morals : going downhill is much easier but much harder to arrest - let alone reverse - than going uphill, and Britain is sinking fast into a morass of iniquity.
Looking ahead, I see a decaying Britain not only ripe for Islamic takeover, but in desperate need of it.

Free Speech?

Geert Wilders, the Dutch MP, arrived in Britain to defend his criticism of Islam and his call for the Koran to be banned and said "the more Islam we get in our societies, the less freedom we get".
It was ironic that the protestors held up placards saying, "Islam will dominate the world and freedom can go to hell" when they are given that freedom.
Others demanded Sharia law in the UK and the Netherlands.
One protestor, Abu Mousa said, "he deserves the death sentence under Islam".
Others interviewed on Dutch TV made threats that Islam would conquer the West.
Why did the BBC not report this??
Somalia's hard-line Islamist group has publicly whipped women for wearing bras.
What next for Britain and the West?? Amputations, stoning, forced marriages and women as second-class citizens??
This will happen when a minority of radical Muslims attain power in a country.
Moderate Muslims must demand that these protestors are arrested since they bring all Muslims into disrepute.
That would do more for race relations than a thousand race laws.
There is recorded evidence that these protestors are stirring up racial and religious hatred or is a hate crime only applicable to non-Muslims??

Petition to Prime Minister against intention to more than double Airline Passenger Duty (APD) in 2010:

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/APDIncrease/

As remarked there "it is obvious to anyone that the Government is not using this money to help the environment but instead sees the airlines in the same way as they see motorists, i.e. another opportunity to tax the British public". The airlines have made the same point.

"Conclusions

If electricity is generated from fossil fuels:
• Travel by conventional rail contributes as much to global
warming as travel by car
• Over a 600 km sector, travel by high speed rail is as
environmentally unfriendly as air travel
• Bearing in mind that shorter journey times will increase
travel, construction of high speed lines has a detrimental
environmental impact"

Note that fuel tax for trains & buses is rebated - i.e. they pay nothing like the rate for private road transport, because fairy dust is sprinkled on their fuel to make it not have the same effects as fuel for naughty planes and naughty, naughty cars.

 Dear Sir,

Tory Leader, David Cameron, must be looking forward to the General Election of 2010, but probably wishes that this election could be taking place in 2011, as he has no claim to go down in history as Prime Minister of the first EU member state to go bankrupt.
He knows that this honour rightfully belongs to Gordon Brown.

 Yours : Malcolm P.

Should the UK adopt The Euro?

A cross-section survey of 1000 people in Bradford , made up of Afghans, Albanians, Pakistanis, Indians, Poles, Iraqis, Somalis, Bosnians, Turks, Moldovans, Latvians, Lithuanians, Bangladeshis, Ethiopians, Russians, Congolese, Zimbabweans, Portuguese and Nigerians were asked if they thought Britain should change its currency to the Euro.

99.9% said no, they were happy with the Giro.

Dear Editor,

Alex Orr, the SNP’s Letter Writer in Chief, is being a bit ingenious when he highlights “the hypocrisy of the Labour Party”. (Vote System FFP Letters 11 Feb 10) Much as I agree it is with his call for a referendum on any changes in regard of the nation’s constitutional future, to claim that the SNP stance is whiter than white is to attempt to hide Alex Salmond’s own hypocrisy. Although he constantly calls for a referendum on Scotland’s independence he has always refused to consider a similar referendum on the question of an independent Scotland within the EU. Like most politicians he only wants a referendum on issues he agrees with or thinks he may win. To bring REAL democracy and decision making back to the people we need a referendum system similar to Switzerland where in addition to the Govenment, the people themselves can call a referendum providing they can prove enough support. Only UKIP is prepared to give this power to the people, only UKIP would give the people the right to get involved in their own decision making.
