On 13 April 2012 Daily Mail Columnist Richard Littlejohn scornfully reported that aside from an incredible 5 fire appliances attending the scene, 25 Firemen were stopped from entering a 3 feet deep pond to rescue a Seagull in distress because of "elf'n'safety" rules.

Littlejohn commented that:

The relentless march of political interference and the institutionalised insanity of elf’n’safety has turned firefighters into figures of ridicule and derision.

In the first decade of the 5th century AD, in the years before Alaric marched his Visigoth horde into Rome and sacked the city, Britannia was, albeit temporarily, at peace. In the four hundred years since the first Roman invasion, tyrannical military force had largely tamed the native Celtic population, bringing classical education, economic stability, and ultimately, even Christianity to the Islands, following its adoption as the official religion of the Empire in 313 AD. 

We normally think of history as one catastrophe after another, war followed by war, outrage by outrage – almost as if history were nothing more than all the narratives of human pain, assembled in sequence. And surely this is, often enough, an adequate description. But history is also the narratives of grace, the recounting of those blessed and inexplicable moments when someone did something for someone else, saved a life, bestowed a gift, gave something beyond what was required by circumstance ...

The targetting of Israeli diplomats In Georgia and India comes hot on the heals of the exposure of Mossad involvement in the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

The bombing by an attacker apparenly on a motorcycle, of an Israeli diplomat's car in New Delhi, injured four people.

The New Delhi attack took place just a few hundred meters from the prime minister's residence as the Israeli diplomat's wife was being driven to the American Embassy School to pick up her children, said Delhi Police Commissioner B.K. Gupta. As the car approached a crossing, she noticed a motorcyclist ride up and stick something on it that appeared to be a magnetic device, he said.

A simultaneous attack in Georgia seems to have been foiled.

The British led drive for war with Russia, using an attack on Iran as the touch paper, continues with William Hague taking point. 

Referring to the EU imposition of an oil and precious metals trading embargo on Iran, announced on the 23rd January, Hague said, “the U.K. has been looking for an unprecedented set of sanctions and that is what we have agreed … This shows the resolve of the European Union on this issue. It is absolutely right to do this when Iran is continuing to breach United Nations resolutions and refusing to come to meaningful negotiations on its nuclear program, The EU is taking a very strong lead in world affairs and we strongly welcome this.”

It seems that Bibi and Barry are best of friends again. Operation Austere Challenger 2012, the joint Israeli/US military "exercises", which were cancelled following a spat between Presidents Netanyahu and Obama, have been rescheduled for October.

Operation Austere Challenge 2012 will be the largest joint Israel/US military exercises in history. The exercises will involve 3000 troops, as well as the deployment of the United States' Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system and the ship-based Aegis system. Israel’s own Arrow, Patriot and Iron Dome missile systems will work in cooperation with their US counterparts.

On both sides of the Atlantic, there is a drive by traitorous "leaders" to dispose of our respective Bills of Rights.

On New Year's Day, Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com, wrote:

In an article for the National Review, John Yoo, erstwhile legal advisor to the Dubya regime and author of the so-called torture memos which justified Cheney's torture operations, provided a new justification for war with Iran - that the United States is the new British Empire.

Obama has failed to "build the legal case for attacking Iran", according to Yoo, instead depending on the United Nations. This is a staggering statement, very much in line with the type of neo-con rhetoric seen just prior to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is pointless, he argues, to expect assistance from the United Nations, since:

As you will see from the home page of the UK Column, Mike has been doing great work creating a positive new look and posting many more articles. As we see events around us speeding up, it is interesting to note that many of our earlier articles have even greater relevance and urgency today.

A constitution is a vital part of any country's system of government. It provides the rules by which the people agree to be governed. It is a contract, the terms and conditions under which those elected must govern, be they a monarch, president or parliament.

The people as a collective are the ultimate supremacy. Once accomplished, a constitution cannot be changed without the express will of the people  -for to do so would be a violation of contract and would negate the authority of those in breech.

Britain Has A Constitution

Britain has a constitution of considerable standing, the foundations of which were established almost 800 years ago with the signing of Magna Carta in 1215, and reasserted 322 years go with the Declaration of Right and Bill of Rights in 1688.

In 2008, then South African president Thabo Mbeki’s mother, wrote an open letter to the South African people, severely criticising the nation's political leadership. Published in the Johannesburg Sunday Times, she concluded: "South Africa wake up. Zemk’iinkomo Magwala Ndini! (The cattle are being stolen, you bloody cowards!)"

Since 2007, hundreds of billions of pounds of banking assets have been wiped off the books. For a year or two now, we've been told that these same banks are "profitable" again, but the truth is that its only through hyperinflationary injections of cash that this illusion has been made possible.

The London bombings of the 7th July 2005 presented senior officers of the police and security forces with an opportunity to make major changes to those organisations – and to lobby for changes to the law. Those changes have been orchestrated by members of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) working in close collaboration with the Government, the Home Office, and the Security Service (MI5). It was the London bombings, especially, that provided State agencies with a way of linking “domestic extremism” (in the public mind, in particular) to actual or intended acts of public disorder, violence, and terrorism.

Changes to the police force since the London bombings have resulted in the creation of a UK-wide network of specialist units tasked with combating domestic extremism and terrorism – namely, the Counter Terrorism Units (CTUs) and Counter Terrorism Intelligence Units (CTIUs).2 3 4 Control of the CT network is under the supervision of an ACPO-appointed National Co-ordinator.

We are to be stripped of the military power to act alone, our military command and control structures are to be weakened and confused by French ‘collaboration’ and ‘partnering’, and we are to be stripped of nuclear weapons. The security of Britain is being destroyed under the cloak of Cameron’s Franco British Defence Treaty.

In July 2008, there was an interesting exchange between Sir Peter Tapsell and Gordon Brown during Prime Minister’s Questions.

Tapsell asked, “are we to understand that the Right Honourable Gentleman’s bleak message to the country is that for many years to come, at Prime Minister’s Questions, he and his successors will be paying mournful tribute to the gallant men and women who in the previous week have been killed in Afghanistan, fighting an unwinnable, and deeply unpopular war, when it is widely understood that the Taliban are not international terrorists, who are now mostly … trained in Pakistan, Iraq and Britain.”

Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) the English utilitarian and philosopher was ‘present but not voting’ for more than a century after his death at meetings of the worthies of the University of London. His embalmed body known as the ‘Auto-Icon’ still resides in a glass case at UCL. Its head is of wax but the real one is brought out for ceremonial dinners.

Child prodigy Bentham was a pupil of Blackstone at Oxford. Historian GM Trevelyan wrote that Bentham, the father of English law reform, regarded Blackstone as the arch-enemy, ‘who stood in the way of change by teaching people to make a fetish of the laws of England in the form they actually bore at the moment, a form dictated by the needs not of the present age but of ages past’. Bentham advocated a centralising legal positivism. The evolution of this was described in Lord Hewart’s 1929 book ’The New Despotism’.

As our troops fight and die oversees, the Tory government is playing out instructions from the supranational banks to force Britain to integrate its military capability with Europee

The lie is that we, as a Nation, are bankrupt and therefore we must suffer massive public sector spending cuts to our military and public services in order to help balance the books. The lie is simple, but it is still a lie. Britain is not bankrupt. The International Banks are bankrupt and have hung their £6 trillion of debt around the neck of the British Nation.

Despite the available evidence there are some who still promote the belief that discussion about the establishment of World Governance is nothing other than one of a number of conspiracy theories that are corroding our society.

There can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective in 2009. This was the year in which "global" swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were "global crises" and "global challenges", the only possible resolution to which lay in "global solutions" necessitating "global agreements".

[Would these global agreements] sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.

There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government

As James Palumbo put it in his recent article in the Daily Mail, "The news is so bad that the politicians don't want the general public to know what's going on". I could not have put it better myself.

The Ministry of Justice has this to say about the Constitution -

The British Constitution is not, as it is in many countries, a ‘written constitution’. It is not codified in a single document but is made up of a complex web of statutes, conventions, and a corpus of common and other law. It is also informed by an interweaving of history and more modern democratic principles. The legal premise of the United Kingdom constitution - that the UK parliament is sovereign - is a fundamental part of our constitutional arrangements. This means that an Act of Parliament must be obeyed by the courts, that later acts prevail over earlier ones, and that the rules made by external bodies cannot override Acts of Parliament. The Bill of Rights 1689 and Magna Carta are important elements of our constitution. Magna Carta is Primary legislation and has the same status as any other legislation and is not immune from repeal or amendment. The same applies to the Bill of Rights which was an ordinary Act of Parliament passed in the ordinary way.

What a pack of lies.

The first lie, forever repeated and unqualified in the media, comes in the first sentence, constantly rolled out to reinforce the idea among the inhabitants of this country that we have no Constitution. The second lie, that the UK Parliament is sovereign - there is no such premise of the Constitution. The third, that rules made by external bodies cannot override Acts of Parliament, when in fact more and more rules today come from the EU directly into the so-called third sector, bypassing Parliament altogether.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Tony Blair's conversion to Catholicism is laughable. He and his witch of a wife profess to be Christians, supposedly qualified tocomment on the religions future, and yet, have been known to enjoy howling at the moon from time to time.

As is well recognised, Blair is a genocidal war monger. So while much of his work may sit under the general public's radar these days, it will come as no surprise that he is up to no good in the Middle East.

Having incited Israel's recent insane attack on Gaza, he is now point man in the continuing drive to get Israel to attack Iran. Yes, that's right, now that Cheney is gone, and the (at least financially) floundering Obama administration refuses to tow the Armageddonist foreign policy line, it is down to Blair to bring on the Third World War.

Fear and panic has gripped the world over the last two weeks as crisis meeting after crisis meeting has done more to stoke the carbon swaps market than the collective hot air from the lunatic global warming falange.

Everywhere, from corporate board rooms to public toilets, the people held their breath as world leader after world leader sullied forth to offer their sage wisdom and proposals on what to do about the great crisis of our age (you know, the one that nobody saw coming except about 5 billion people worldwide who don't read the Western "media").

By means of beauty all beautiful things become beautiful. For this appears to me the safest answer to give both to myself and others; and adhering to this, I think that I shall never fall, but that it is a safe answer both for me and anyone else to give — that by means of beauty beautiful things become beautiful.

Socrates, quoted by Plato, “Phaedo”
