Multicultural Society?

I've been thinking; everyone always drone on, from "both sides" of this absurd argument, about living in a multicultural society, and the effects of it. "We live in a multicultural society, so you shouldn't say that!", one may say, or another may predictably say, "BRITISH VALUES HAVE BEEN ERODED BY MULTICULTURALISM!" (Whilst they're putting down their copy of the Daily Mail)

But do we really live in a multicultural society?

When you look at it, we don't, really, and the people who say we do, are only confusing annexation of elements of other cultures, in order to expand British culture, for "multiculturalism".

Chicken Tikka Masala, for example: people would think that's Indian, and a fine example of multiculturalism, but the reality of it is, is that this dish hardly exists, if at all, within India. This is a British customed dish, but its roots, of course, are undoubtedly traced back to the Indian subcontinent. One may further argue that because those roots made its way into Britain, it's a fine example of multiculturalism, but again, I must repeat that the actual dish is highly unlikely to be found in India itself.

To take the so-called "other side", yet argue and result in the same conclusion, let's take a look at Fish and Chips: emblem of British produce? Actually, no, not really. Depending on where you are (And this does apply to where I am in the UK), Fish and Chip shops were spread via Irish immigrants. So, again, this so-called emblem of British culture is not exactly rooted within insular British blood-lines, but, of course, it is part of British culture, because we, as a culture, annexed Fish and Chip shops into our culture.

What I'm saying, is that of course, I don't believe in the frothing bigots of the Littlejohn/Gaunt/Hitchens ilk, that British culture is based on some pathetic insularity, where we can conceivably (Ho ho) expand as a culture, holding the very popularised, "Britain Is Full!" sign. At the same time, to take the view that we are a multicultural society, isn't exactly intellectually honest.

Let's gawp at the perceived realities of the Mail and the Sun etc, and pretend that there's mass Muslim ghettos across the country, and huge community divide. Even if this were all true, there'd be British, and, perhaps even regional colloquialisms that everyone from these Muslim ghettos, and outside of them, would be familiar with, and use on a regular basis, which would most likely be completely unknown to Muslims in any other country in the world, or even just anyone else who has never lived in Britain. Jokes about "Asian corner shops", for instance; would you find such jokes in America? Of course not, unless it was from someone who has been in Britain. Even driving on the left side of the road, which happens to not be the case in most countries around the world. How we vote. How our laws are set out. Lots of aspects which point to a unique cultural binding, regardless of every Tom, Dick and Abdul (Har har) coming in.

To repeat the point, of course, Britain can drastically change its own culture, through a various number of ways, and can annex (And should) far more elements of other nation's cultures, but multicultural? Sorry, it's not quite true.

As you may have gathered, I like Jamaican roots reggae; does that mean Jamaican culture as a whole is present amongst Britain? Of course not. I also like African-American music, like soul, jazz and funk; again, testimony to African-American culture as a whole being present within Britain? Nope

So, uhm, yeah, we don't live in a multicultural society, regardless of what happens.

We Are All In This Together!

Tony Blair, being the slimy bastard that he is, changed Labour to New Labour. Now me and Snooty Dave are doing the same, from Conservatives, to Modern Conservatives....we're all in this together!

And by jingo, to make matters worse, Inheritance Tax is costing a small fraction of people in this country; namely, me and Snooty Dave, which we can't allow to be taxed to death over what we, er, I mean, our relatives earned via hard work.....we're all in this together!

The Age Of Irresponsibility......Gordon Brown had not far from fuck all of a legacy...and neither will we....we're all in this together!

MPs' expenses are made yesterday's news because Labour and Conser, er, I mean MODERN Conservatives talked about clearing it up, nothing came of it, and it's in the back of most people's minds....we're all in this together!

Not having a legacy, as mentioned before, we couldn't really make up new policies, so we had to regurgitate old limp policies and promises us MODERN Conservatives made back in 2007....we're all in this together!

Here's our theme song for the election campaign of the MODERN Conservatives....we're all in this together!

The Four Horsemen Of The Fuckupalypse: Talking Serious

*And whilst the top scientists and diplomats are discussing important issues like climate change, our favourite pseudo-intellectual quartet are discussing some highly important questions of the day*

Richard Dawkins: Now, ahem, gentlemen, I myself, as an avid lover of science and atheism, just in case you didn't know that of me already, ah heh heh, have came into this rather frequent, er, you know, retort, as it were, asking us if we, as atheists, could disprove the existence of God.

Christopher Hitchens: As I said in my up and coming book which can be previewed on Amazon and is available for purchase on November 16th 2009, entitled, "The Holy Spirit: Made A Hypocrite Out Of Me, So It Can Make A Hypocrite Out Of Anyone", *drinks whiskey*, which I will quote, if I may-

Daniel Dennett: No, you may not

Christopher Hitchens: Oh well who fucking cares about you? You're only here to replicate the physical appearance of our Lord Saviour, Charles Darwin. We may as well exhume the corpse of Charles Darwin, to get more value than you-

Richard Dawkins: Alright, alright, stop the bickering; whilst we're bickering, the worst thing could be happening, which is that yet another person could be converted to religion, which is the equivalent of 10 Little Boys going off at once, in terms of destruction. Now, Christopher...

Sam Harris: If I may-

Richard Dawkins: What the blast did I tell you before, young chap?! Keep it buttoned up unless you have something remotely interesting to say, which, even if you did, it still wouldn't be interesting, as it's being spoken by you. Now, if we may proceed; quote, by all means, Christopher...

Christopher Hitchens: Well, thank you Richard. It seems our friend Daniel here is fairly fond of theocratic madmen. But, if I may; in my up and coming, $15.99 book, available at November 16th 2009, "The Holy Spirit: Made A Hypocrite Out Of Me, So It Can Make A Hypocrite Out Of Anyone", I make it quite clear, that I have a particularly good eye for seeking out and spotting Spirits, especially if they're in my right hand, and let me tell you this, that if there is a Spirit branded as God, the last place you'd find it, is in that theocratic, raghead infested, blistering desert wasteland called, "The Middle East"; I've had many good conversations with my wise friend, Mr, George W. Bush on the subject of our shared secularist agendas, as well as the lack of Spirits in the Middle East, and now he really is a man who's fought long and hard against the invading ragheads from getting power, which is all too good in my book, or, rather, several books, also available on Amazon, for purchase, which you'll find by typing in my name in the Amazon search engine. Now, if I may, these influences can have wonderful effects, namely, my changing of my ridiculous beliefs in the past that ragheads were equal citizens, not to be bombed the fucking shit out of, to the beliefs that our wise leader of the free world, George Bush had, but a spirit that has divine power, and that is superior to me? You can..shove that right up your, anushole!

Richard Dawkins: This is a very interesting point that you raise, Christopher-

Christopher Hitchens: You expected less of me, than to make an excellent point?

Richard Dawkins: Oh no no no, dear boy, I never inferred such at all-

Christopher Hitchens: You'd be doing a blasted disservice to humanity if you ever did.

Richard Dawkins: *Sigh*, yes, yea-

Christopher Hitchens: By all means, have your freedom of speech thing, as I demonstrate with my constant shouting of "Fire!" in crowded buildings, a subject which I've also touched upon in my latest book, but let me tell you this now, and RIGHT NOW, I-

*Richard Dawkins punches Christopher Hitchens, knocking out Hitchens....not that he wasn't half unconscious before*

Richard Dawkins: Heavens that absolutely don't exist, Daniel, you were right; I shouldn't have let that buffoon quote from his book.

Daniel Dennett: I told you

Richard Dawkins: Yes, yes you did, old chap. Now, I-

Sam Harris: I-

Richard Dawkins: HUSH!

Daniel Dennett: Anyway, to answer your original question, Richard, if there was a Holy Spirit, capable of divine knowledge, A) It'd show itself, and B) Chrissy Hitchens down there unconscious on the floor, would have drank it by now, giving him the gift of divine knowledge..something he's very, VERY far from, at this rate!

Richard Dawkins: Chortle!

Christopher Hitchens: Uhhhhhh, aarrhhhhhh...*slobbers and groans in his sleep*

Daniel Dennett: Give him another punch to keep him quiet, Richard

Sam Harris: What I say, is tha-

Richard Dawkins: NO, NO NO!

Sam Harris: I'M SAYING IT ANYWAY! What I have to say, is that the objective nature of there being a God is below Lilliputian, which was proved by all naturalists and sceptics throughout the land, and

*Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett fall asleep at the complete ineptitude of Sam Harris to say anything which isn't coma-inducing*

Sam Harris:..what I have to say on the matter, is that objective, rational, scientific thought will be promoted by us all, to be.....oh, what's the use, the fuckers are asleep. I'm going to take a joyride on one of our Atheist buses.

Christopher Hitchens: Ugghh, uhhhhhh, eahhh, uh, FIRE!......FIRE!.....FI-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *continues to snore deafeningly loud*

*Sam Harris leaves the room*

"Compassionate Conservatism" (Can't Polish A Turd)

John Major's "Back To Basics" campaign was all in vain!? Surely not!?

Aye, pretty much.

The Tories, paying homage to the Murdoch agenda moreso than ever, have *regurgitated* this disgraceful policy on incapacity benefits.

The only parts of the parcel we're getting from Conservative policy masters, is this, and the abolition of Inheritance Tax (Which, very strangely, would affect both David Cameron and George Osborne, of the few people who are affected by inheritance tax)

I think I could probably end this blog entry, with my point being perfectly clear to you, but I'll just make a few more small points.

He plans to use a private firm to calculate who *they* consider, from whatever testing (More bureaucracy!!!!!!!!1111) to be transferred to Jobseeker's Allowance, and not Incapacity Benefits. We know how "independent", independent commissions are in this country; what on Earth would make anyone believe a bleeding private investigative body would be even remotely objective on this? What sort of testing would this be? (As if incapacities can be accurately tested from a ridiculous scheme like this.......)

Now, I have a slight suspicion that a certain group within disability and incapacity will happen to be affected moreso than any other group, but I'll leave that one to echo in the depths of my mind.

What's interesting, is that they EXPECT 500, 000 to be affected, and how they can expect anything like that, I haven't the faintest idea. And would that, in actuality, be a target for this private investigative body to aspire to, in terms of finding people to transfer?

Unsurprisingly, on the point of offering training, I recall David Cameron in the Prime Minister's Questions actually attacking Brown on implementing this as a way to "massage the unemployment figures". Now he wants to offer training; heavens knows the real motivation!

Oh well, at least it isn't changing the actual definition of unemployment to massage the unemployment figures, on this one.

Hypocrisy From Top To Bottom Of The Column

I was mentally planning my next Four Horsemen parody, as a next post, but low and behold, the younger of the Hitchens Brothers (Gruesome Twosome), comes out with more inane shit.

http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2009/10/in-the-britain-that-is-to-come-do-not-be-old-weak-or-alone-youll-only-end-up-like-fiona-pilkington.html

Do not be old, weak or alone. Jesus, shouldn't we ought to be telling the Mail, this?

"In the Britain that is to come, do not be old, do not be weak, do not be vulnerable or different in any way, do not be alone."

Quite right; you'll only end up having hacks like Peter Hitchens spewing vitriol against you.

Like this shit:

"Why, the political elite sitting on its smug centre ground, which has for many years united round 'Care in the Community' - on the left because they swallowed absurd psychiatric rubbish about the 'rights' of the mentally ill, and on the right because they saw a chance to save money."

Do not be mentally ill in this country, or you'll have ignorant wankers like Hitchens lunging at you with his mental knife as sharp as a plank!

Yes, yes, this particular subject strikes home to me, because my medical records testify to me being mentally ill, as they do to many of my friends. We're not "menaces" to society, or any of that crap. (Certainly little chance for us to go out, just to "kill" someone, as Hitchens ignorantly assumed to be an activity for the mentally ill)

Neither was Fiona Pilkington, for that matter - "Fiona Pilkington had learning difficulties herself and was suffering from depression"

All this "rights" rubbish for mentally ill people! Fark me!

Oh, and of course, on difference, in which he mentions, we have to remind ourselves of this gem (turd)

"The evil that drove Fiona Pilkington to her horrible death was released by Labour and Tory governments alike, by the liberal elite in general, during half a century of misguided stupidity."

Liberal elite?

Hmm, that's funny; on the subject of Fiona Piklington, who was a victim of horrific bullying, and without doubt, a truly depressing story, was it not other fuckwits like the Daily Mail and Co, who were complaining about measures to prevent other forms of bullying?

Yes.

Yes, it was

I remember now.

Not surprised.

Just look at the comments on those articles, and their ratings, for testimony.

Anyway, back on track....fuck, you can get so distracted in all this hypocrisy!

"Punishment, and the idea of evil, were discarded. Patience was a hindrance; sobriety, temperance and abstinence from drink or drugs were outmoded Victorian nuisances."

Ah, that's more like it; classic Hitchens wankspeak. That same Victorian society where pregnant women used what are now illegal drugs to relieve their pains? (Not that I'm against that) That same "patient" society, where you'd cane kids for being late to school classes, despite the reason being valid or not? And "abstinence from drink"...good God...we'll leave that one "hanging in the air", as they say.

Funnily enough, let me also highlight that this is the same Victorian society, that would have treated poor Fiona even WORSE. Nah, Hitchens really doesn't give a shit about that; bring back capital punishment! That's all he really gives a shit about.

"The elite continue to enjoy their liberty"

They certainly do, Hitchens. Keep enjoying that freedom to talk crap.

Max Hastings Continues To Lack Self-Awareness

Here is Max Hastings' latest pile of shit on the Daily Mail.

Usual Mail bilge of "blah blah blah, BUREAUCRACY is overriden in this Stalinist, PC ridden country, ruining enterprise to sever the poor, and help the middle-class, PC gaaaawn maaad", but this one in particular caught my eye:

"Under Labour, national identity has been eroded, social cohesion weakened"

Max Hastings giving us a lecture on social cohesion!? Fuck me, taking public relations lessons from Gordon Brown would even be more favourable and insightful.

Surely Max Hastings has a reasonable concern for social cohesion...yes?

..." to the unprecedented ethnic and demographic turmoil which our politicians have unleashed upon us."

Sorry; clearly not, then....

But he is, in some way, making an effort to create social cohesion, what with, oh, you know, him having the power to write shite in national newspapers....yes?

Oh, that's a no, either.

Want To Fend Off A "Foreign Invasion"? Start With Rupert Murdoch

I'm sure this all flies above the empty head of the average Sun reader and fanatic, but the real foreign invasion surely isn't from the ordinary immigrant, trying to "better themselves" (See! See! I'm using their lingo!), but from Rupert Murdoch, who is that devoid of morality, that he pushes and shoves into any country's political affairs that he pleases, has the politicians surrounding him like a moat, to be then begging and pleading for Murdoch's support. (See: whoring)

I don't like Barack Obama whatsoever, for various reasons, but one thing is for sure: he managed to overcome and defeat the Murdoch Empire, set against him, who discredited him from the very start, which is admirable in some respect.

I don't like what the Sun has done to New Labour at all; despite me hating New Labour from the very beginning (Ho ho, unlike the Sun), this was clearly planned way before Gordon Brown's speech at the Labour conference. Way before all of this, Cameron was getting closer and closer to Murdoch, meeting up with him, and...well, I imagine all the rest of it, as articulated extremely well in the book I've just bought, called "Flat Earth News".

Of course, I agree with the concept of a Free Press, but surely, with such a huge sphere of influence it has (Aka, the world), its new modus operandi is: Make news to make money. Ad infinitum.

Whilst I'm not hoping for a New Labour victory in the next election, I'm afraid to say that the Tories may win, with increased electorial support, thanks to Murdoch and The Scum.

"Foreign Invasion" indeed.
