			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not having written a great deal recently I have decided to become a little more active again. That said I will be moving my blog from here to a new address which I will post when it is fully set up. A link will be added for all my followers, and there are a great many I&#8217;m glad to say. Writing a blog was not something I expected would attract the numbers of people I have. It is a great pleasure to have so many readers worldwide and I will continue to write from the heart. I will post the link once the site is ready.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It sounds like a punk rock track from the seventies except it also sums up the state of the streets in the UK today. Commentators talk of the “protestors” as though giving the riots some credence or excuse. They also talk of underlying issues seeking to further explain this mindless thuggery. The truth is that this is exactly that &#8211; mindless thuggery and nothing more, most of it perpetrated by youths of varying ethnicities. What I saw was horrific and I only saw it on the television. Imagine being caught up in it for real. Imagine the owners of the buildings torched, livelihoods gone to ashes in under an hour. Terrible.</p>
<p>If these thugs are prepared to carry out such evil acts of violence and destruction then perhaps it is time to exact some appropriate punishments on these people. It is time to bring back public floggings for this sort of thuggery. They would soon think twice about repeat performances as they felt the lash cut into the tender skin on their backs. With each stroke of the lash they would be made to consider their actions. Fifty lashes each should do the trick, repeated once a month for six months. Something for them to look forward to. Their release would be sweet for them and if they repeated this violence again then it would have to be the same but doubled. Fifty lashes twice a month for six months. If after that they still couldn’t control their evil urges then execute the bastards &#8211; in public. Nothing too simple &#8211; they should be hung, drawn and quartered. That should be deterrent enough!</p>
<p>Anarchy should be treated as though it was treason and punished accordingly. Enough of this soft, pussy footing around now. Time to get touch with these thugs once and for all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don’t like the Royal Family. It isn’t a matter of disliking the Monarchy per se, it is more personal than that for me. I just don’t like the individuals who make up the “Firm”. Charles is a bumbling bafoon. Camilla is a vicarious usurper. Andrew and Edward are a pair of pillocks. Philip is a pompous oaf with his head so far up his own Royal Arse he can practically see out of his nose, and the Queen is equally busy disappearing up her own Royal Backside. All of the Queen’s offspring, with the exception of Edward, have been divorced &#8211; hardly a great advert for stability. Above all else they are full of their own Self. The only exception I would have given to this would have been Diana, but she was not really a Royal other than by virtue, or otherwise, of her marriage to Charles. To this I now cautiously add Catherine.</p>
<p>Catherine asked Philip on her Wedding Day “What is the secret of long life?” Philip replied rather pointedly, “Do as you are told and avoid getting on the wrong side of me.” </p>
<p>The paradox with the principle of our Monarchy is that I believe we need them. That statement of course sticks in my craw! I watched the Wedding on Friday, as most people probably did, and considered that when it comes to such pageantry, ceremony and colour, that no one, without exception, does this like we British. No where in the world does the rest of the world clamour to see such pageantry and ceremony. Unfortunately the Monarchy are at the heart of all this regalia. </p>
<p>In spite of that I am at heart a Republican. The Royals are paid far too much for what they do and yet they bring so much more in terms of value than they cost. It is for me heads you win, tails I lose. It simply seems to be a no win situation to argue for the Republic. Catch 22 you might say. Or is it?</p>
<p>I suppose you can argue in favour of the Monarchy as an entrenched British establishment that look good, are steeped in history, are aloof and have mysticism beyond expectation. There is no doubt, from a fiscal perspective, they add an enormous sum to our coffers through their allure to the foreigner and the consequential tourism they afford as a result. Occasions as common as the Changing of the Guard to annual events such as Trooping the Colour attract a lot of foreign money. Even symbolism such as the Beefeaters at the Tower contribute to the daily spectacle that is or that represents the British Monarchy.</p>
<p>That for me though does not necessarily justify their continued existence in their current form. The Monarchy is a hangover from a bygone age and has no real relevance in this progressive modern society. As a spectacle they are no better than a circus (albeit a spectacular one). The heir, Charles, is out of touch with everything that is not Camilla; the Queen and Philip were never in touch at all; the offspring may have glanced at being in touch but that soon disappeared. So that just leaves the current adult generation of the Monarchy &#8211; in essence William and Harry. They are going to have to buck up their ideas if they are to have any chance of taking the Monarchy further. I really doubt they can which for me leaves them out in the cold.</p>
<p>The only justification for the Monarchy remains their attractiveness to foreigners and the revenue they are able to generate indirectly from tourism. Is that enough to continue with the Monarchy? Perhaps for now but their time is running out and the Republic beckons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At last the Yanks have got their man! All the Islamic fundamentalists (so that would be the whole of Islam) must be beating their chests and howling and wailing in grief and horror. Good! Well beat away people and weep. Weep until you all die because you you have got what has been coming for a long time. Probably one of the most evil men of all time who was a leading light (or should that be dark) of the world’s most evil religion, Osama Bin Laden epitomized the vileness that is Islam. Lets just hope he died slowly and in lots of pain (equal to the pain he has inflicted on the people of this planet).</p>
<p>So what now? We could hope that Islam crawls back under the rock from which it came. We could hope the serpent that is the religion slithers away into the undergrowth never to be seen again. Lets face it who was really aware of Islam before the twin towers were attacked? I feel though these hopes may be forlorn. Islam doesn’t strike me as being a contrite sort of religion. Muslims are certainly not humble. They are arrogant hot-heads who over react when someone says something they don’t like! Someone draws a picture of their so called prophet (Mohammad the lunatic) and Islam burns flags and commits mass murder in mass demonstrations of monumental hysteria. Hysterical lunatic &#8211; that’s a Muslim for you &#8211; an arse-wipe of the first order. </p>
<p>Twenty virgins are waiting for all the lunatics prepared to commit suicide and mass murder. What I want to know is where do these poor unfortunate virgins come from and what have they done to deserve such an awful fate? Perhaps they should become martyrs to stop them being one of the virgins. Anyway, I digress.</p>
<p>What worries me now is the hysteria and mass lunacy that will almost certainly ensue. The hot heads will burn American flags, murder god knows how many innocents, fire guns into the air and generally completely loose their heads in an eruption of mass delirium. Thank god they don’t drink &#8211; imagine what it would be like if they had a few! </p>
<p>We must all be on our guard now. Osama dead might be worse than Osama alive in his little hell hole in Pakistan!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am often criticised for being too general or over critical of others but, as I always believe when I write an article, I am right to be so. I don&#8217;t level criticism gratuitously, I do it because it is warranted. I do it where I am concerned that something is not right. I do it where people need to have their eyes opened to real issues that cause concern. So it is with Islam. Yet again this vile religion is in the news and there will be a programme on the television in a few days.</p>
<p>I am constantly being told that the dangers of this religion lie not with the ordinary everyday people, albeit misguided individuals, but with the so called fundamentalists and extremists. The more I discover about Islam the more I am convinced that all Muslims are, by the very nature and teachings of the religion, extremist and fundamentalist. The word fundamentalist derives from the word &#8220;fundamental&#8221;. The dictionary defines the meaning as &#8220;serving as, or being an essential part of, a foundation or basis; basic; underlying: fundamental principles; the fundamental structure.&#8221; In other words it is what the religion is. The fundamental basis of the religion is to hate all non Muslims, to kill all non Muslims and to convert non believers to Islam on pain of death. </p>
<p>Of course those Muslims who place themselves away from fundamentalism, although I don&#8217;t believe that&#8217;s possible in real Islam, will tell you the very opposite. Islam, they say, is about worshipping a god and living a good, moral and spiritual life. Well, they would say that wouldn&#8217;t they. No one is going to admit the truth about the evils of this religion &#8211; it would open the way to &#8220;I told you so!&#8221;</p>
<p>An undercover team has visited an Islamic secondary school with students between the ages of eleven and nineteen. What they witnessed is to say the least horrific. Muslim children are being taught, indeed I would say forced, to hate all that is not Islamic. They are taught that Britain is influenced by Satan, they are told vile untrue things of other religions. Jews, Hindus and untold others are vilified through lies and misinformation. These teachers and students live in Britain and yet they teach and are being taught all these things. It is no wonder they grow up and want to become suicide bombers.</p>
<p>My attitude therefore towards Islam is not unfounded. Indeed it is totally justified. I have repeatedly argued that this religion is dangerous to society. Now it is proven. I rest my case me Lud!  I would even go as far as to suggest that Islam is so dangerous that it should be made illegal in Britain. Why should we tolerate these people coming here to Britain to live and then saying that we are of Satan. In truth Satanism is far less worrying than Islam, which in truth, is the religion of pure evil &#8211; it is the religion of Satan. If Satan wanted a people to worship him, of course he doesn&#8217;t exist, but if he did &#8211; you get my comparison, then he need look no further that Muslims. They are exactly what he would want and the paradox of all is that they are what they teach their children everyone else is. A dynamic paradox indeed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s fair to say I have an issue with the most vile religion of them all. In fairness though I have an issue with all religions. But this one religion takes the biscuit. The Christian religion of old was equally as vile. Modern Christianity however is a shadow of its former self. Long gone are the fervent days of the crusades or the inquisition, well at least it appears that way &#8211; they seem to keep their heads low these days. Judaism has never really been an in your face religion. Certainly up until Adolf made them wake up and smell the coffee they were low profile. Since then, and I admire them for this, they have defended themselves ferociously. What they have not done, and I admire them equally for this, is to put Judaism in your face. I can tolerate this kind of religion as long as they keep themselves to themselves and don&#8217;t try to make me believe in their imaginary friend. If you attempt to insult their religion you don&#8217;t hear much back. They seem to absorb such trivia without a fuss. Rightly so too. If I insulted JC himself &#8211; it would appear I need to tell someone who gives a damn and I need to shout it out loud. Sure someone will make a film such as &#8220;The Last Temptation of Christ&#8221; and a few zealots will make an issue of it but it will eventually die an unobtrusive death and become forgotten. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s fair to say I have an issue with the people who follow the so called prophet. My issue with Islam is not the same as my issue with Muslims. I have however an equal issue with Muslims and the religion itself. I despise both and sometimes it is difficult to tell the two apart.</p>
<p>I read an interesting article recently which re-awakened my abhorrence of both Islam and Muslims. Baroness Warsi, a female Muslim living in a free non-Islamic country, bless her, commented on what she called Islamaphobia and how it had become acceptable at the table of middle England. She was in essence criticising us for having this fear, hatred, loathing, racist type of attitude against presumably both the religion and its followers. Bare in mind she can only say these things because she lives in a free, tolerant country. The following week I read another, even better, article that commentated on Baroness Warsi&#8217;s words and I have say it said everything that should be said about this issue, but which no one so far has had the balls to say.</p>
<p>As this article said, a phobia is an irrational fear of something &#8211; spiders, heights and so on. Fear and hatred of Islam and its followers is totally rational and is therefore not a phobia. When a lunatic runs around with a bomb attached to himself and threatens to blow himself and everyone near him to smithereens our fear is rational. The problem is to try to differentiate between the lunatic acting under some self induced delusion of virgins in Nirvana and the teachings of the religion which tells him these things will happen if he martyrs himself. Fear of this evil religion and its evil followers is totally warranted. What normal human would do these vile things? Most normal people just go about their daily business in relative harmony with others. Not Islam, Oh no, Islam wants you in a state of fear and torment. Islam is a dictatorial, medieval, misogynistic, barbaric, genocidal and all round malevolent religion of such huge proportions that not to fear it renders the person who doesn&#8217;t fear it an imbecile. Only an imbecile would not know what the hell was going on. The problem though is not just the religion, it is also the so called clerics who advocate practicing the teachings of the book and encourage the madness of this evil religion. </p>
<p>At the end of this article there were invited comments. One of those comments was from a Muslim who said he was sick of reading such articles about Islam and Muslims. Oh dear, shame, well I&#8217;m sick of reading about people being stoned to death for adultery or people being butchered without anaesthesia for stealing a loaf of bread.</p>
<p>Islam and Muslims are to us today what the Black Death was to medieval Europe. Islam needs to be eradicated before it eradicates us. Either that or the followers of Islam should bring the religion into the modern era and stop hanging around the barbaric and dark period of medieval Europe and the Middle East. Modern society should not tolerate such a wicked mentality that Muslims and Islam clearly possess. There is no room here for a wicked religion that is dictatorial, medieval, misogynistic, barbaric, genocidal and generally malevolent. </p>
<p>Perhaps their god is getting fed up with the bad press they are giving him (or is it a her &#8211; now that would be interesting); perhaps that is why he sends floods last year and now just a week or so ago earthquakes. Time to look in the mirror. You&#8217;ll see what the rest of the civilised world sees. Lunacy and evil all wrapped up in a little parcel waiting to self destruct.</p>

<p>What is it with religion? My god is better than yours! My holy book must not be desecrated! My dad can beat up your dad! It is infantile! It would appear though, looking at the news, that it&#8217;s fine for the morons of Islam to burn the American flag on what is after all a threat – the idiot has not yet burned the book. But then Islam has double standards doesn’t it? Any offence to anything not Islamic is not actually an offence because there is only one religion – Islam. Not so – Islam is the religion of excrement, hate and evil. ALL religion preaches hate, death, destruction, evil – it is all evil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The plan to build a mosque near to ground zero in New York is a hideous and monstrous outrage to those families directly affected by the deliberate murder of thousands by the vile ideals of a revolting religion. For those indirectly affected by this heinous deed, like me, it is an affront by a religion of hate and control to the basic ideology of freedom and democracy. How dare Islam seek to build a place of Muslim worship in the location where it perpetrated mass murder! Who do they think they are? What is worse is that Obama has voiced his approval to the scheme. This cowardice by the American President displays weakness in the face of Islam and is wholly unacceptable to decent, honest people worldwide. Islam is laughing in the face of the Western World! Can you imagine a role reversal in say Islamabad by Christians and then ten years later can you see Pakistan allowing a Christian church to built in that site of a mass murder? I frankly doubt it! Islam is intolerant of anything non-Islamic in any event, let alone a situation like this.</p>
<p>The plans must not be allowed to go ahead. If they do Islam will have a massive moral victory over America and the non Islamic world. For me that is simply not on! Osama Bin Laden probably can’t believe his luck. </p>
<p>Obama cites religious freedom as the reason to allow the mosque to be built. This is a cop out. Refusal to allow the mosque to be built does not prevent religious freedom; it would however make a clear statement to Islam that their actions were unacceptable. It would make it clear to Islam that the site is now hollowed ground and America will not allow it to be desecrated by such a building. By allowing it to go ahead you can almost imagine Islam planning the next great wave of attacks in the hope of build more mosques all over the place ten years later.</p>
<p>Say no, America, to the mosque plans for ground zero in New York; say no, America, to the thumb biting of Islam. Stand up, America, and be counted or sit back and let Islam smite you like a weak beaten country afraid to defend morals, freedom and democracy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a hurricane hits Florida and causes mass devastation the lunatics of Islam cite Allah as the perpetrator of the disaster and state that this is his punishment for sins against Islam and Allah himself by all who are not Islamic. An earthquake in Haiti might have similar accusations made by the followers of Allah or any other imaginary friend for that matter.</p>
<p>So now we have mass flooding in Pakistan – Oh, it’s an Islamic country! So what do those fervent followers of Allah cite for the cause of this? There doesn’t seem to be too much in the way of self criticism here does there. Where is the lunatic Islamic fringe now? Hopefully washed away in a wave of self pity and chest beating! Perhaps Allah is after all wreaking his revenge on the State of Islam! Anyone thought of that? But what could the world of Islam have possible done to warrant such a devastating punishment? Surely the one true belief system that seeks world domination, mass slaughter of innocent non-Muslims and general murder and hatred could not possibly deserve such godly punishment, could it? What has innocent little Islam done to deserve this? Well now let’s see – oh yes – the destruction of the World Trade Centre [Oh Islam - the Destroyer] a few years ago killing thousands of people; and of course the London bombings five years ago; the Madrid train bombing, where do you stop – it’s a back catalogue of hate, murder, torture and pure evil – this is Islam! So Islam time to wake up and smell the coffee – Allah is clearly not impressed by your evil worldwide campaign – oh dear, looks like you won’t be getting all those virgins after all – now that’s a bummer! </p>
<p>Of course you can choose to believe all the hype and crap of religion or you can be an intelligent human being and realise that this is just one of many ongoing natural events that happen from time to time – unless you’re a Muslim of course!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all remember the events of five years ago. I was there, not on a train or a bus, but I was there, in London, near Aldgate, and there but for the grace of an imaginary friend went I!  Had I gone in an hour or so later, who knows? It was a surreal day, perpetrated by a religion of hate, hell and eternal damnation. Screw Islam, screw Mohammed – all Islam is good for is murder and evil. I know, I was there and this is what I recorded on the day it happened:</p>
<p><strong>Written Thursday 7 July 2005:</strong><br />
The news started to filter through at about 9.15 on Thursday morning that there had been an electrical surge at Aldgate or Liverpool Street, which had caused an explosion. No one really considered it to be anything other than a horrific accident but then we heard news of a second explosion at another station – also apparently caused by an electrical surge. By this time we were speculating that it could be bombs but people tend to make believe that it is coincidence rather than terrorists and tend to downplay the severity of the situation especially given web reports that is was indeed a power surge. Personally I had my doubts and needless to say I was accused as ever of scare mongering. When reports indicated that a bus had exploded people were still saying it was a power surge, but as I said to someone it must have been a hell of a power surge to knock out a bus as well! I wasn’t convinced it was a power surge, I knew, I knew then it was bombs, especially given a report that the national grid had stated that there had been no power surge. It was bombs!</p>
<p>I work about 5 minutes walk from both Aldgate and Liverpool Street and suddenly it was all very close to home that a terror attack had taken place where I work. It also happened to be on the Met line, which is the line I use to get into Liverpool Street. </p>
<p>The road that runs along our offices was completely closed to all traffic. It is a route between the bomb targets and a hospital and the emergency services were using it to ferry casualties to hospital, to get rescue vehicles to the bombsites and of course police. What will remain with me about today is the constant sound of sirens for almost the entire day. We were told to stay where we were and make no attempt to travel or get home – just stay put. I did walk up to Liverpool Street and again it was the sirens that had the biggest impact and the fact that the roads were devoid of any normal traffic. There wasn’t much happening at Liverpool Street; it was sealed off of course and probably a lot was going on inside the station. When we came back we saw four double-decker busloads of people being to taken to hospital, they were all covered in aluminium foil blankets. We saw hoards of fire appliances going past, countless police cars and motorbikes and waves of ambulances.</p>
<p>Later in the day we heard that mainline stations were beginning to reopen and were told that we should attempt to get home. All tubes and buses were stopped so we had to walk. It took me about an hour and a half to get to Euston; there was almost no traffic on the roads but thousands of people walking and most of them had no idea of how to get to their destination on foot. There were police at almost every corner directing lost pedestrians who only ever see London from the inside of a tube train 30m underground.  We were diverted around the zones that were sealed off and I was lucky enough to get a train within 45 minutes, two and a half hours after leaving the office.</p>
<p><strong>Friday 8 July 2005</strong><br />
All in all it was quite a day yesterday and coming in this morning was not without its concerns. Some tube lines are still closed so I take a different route. On the changeover I was walking through the rabbit warren of Tottenham Court Road station and realised that if a bomb went off it would be very difficult to get out at all. The most noticeable thing about today is just how quiet it is but there is still a defiant normality about London and especially the City. There are no sirens today and the roads are not as busy as normal but there is still a sense of caution.<br />
Yesterday I was among the very fortunate not to get directly caught up in the attacks and I managed to get home to my family to tell the tales of the day. There are so many who were not as lucky. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.</p>
<p>This is London, this is Britain, we don’t do surrender – so Islam do your worst! You will never defeat right; right will always win. Islam &#8211; go to Hell and burn in the eternal flames of damnation and torment that exist only in your sordid evil little minds!</p>
