Still More Coherent Than Ian Wright Friday, May 16, 2008Parody Goes Down In FlamesI've said it before, and doubtless I'll say it again: the one solid achievement of modern liberalism is to render the reductio ad absurdum obsolete. There are no scenarios too absurd for modern Britain. Labels: Taking The War Seriously |Thursday, May 15, 2008Dhimmis D'Jour: Dhimmis Gone Dental EditionI want to say something sarcastic about this, but parody has had its head sliced clean off. That's a free clue right there: yes, if an ideology dictates the correct way to maintain dental health, it might conceivably be considered a little totalitarian. This used to be the sort of thing the left opposed, but now liberals think maniacs who claim God gives them tips on dental hygiene are cute, and so we have the British state abasing itself before Hey, it could be worse. If only this guy had thought to convert to Islam, liberals would have hung on his every word. Labels: Dhimmitude, Islam, PC |Liberals Get Slapped AgainDon't be shocked, but another group of liberal thugs has just caved when faced with actual resistance: A couple rejected as foster parents because they refused to condone homosexuality have won a major victory...And if you think that's despicable, wait until you hear the next bit: Mrs Johns, from Oakwood in Derby, said: "They were asking us: 'What would you do if a ten-year-old child came home and said they had been picked on because they were homosexual?'".Disappointingly, these folks were too nice to give the obvious response, namely 'what kind of degenerate pervert thinks about the sexuality of ten year olds' ? Note this next bit though: Their fostering application was halted until lawyers from the Christian Legal Centre began preparing a bid for a judicial review of the refusal. On Saturday they received a letter from the council saying they could reapply.Yep, another grass roots effort. But, of course. After all, the Nu Tories have already surrendered in the culture war. Well, who needs them anyway ? Actually, that is the question. Who does need the Tories ? The Cameroonatics believe they can throw the right under the bus, since we've got nowhere else to go, and besides, they're the only hope of ridding ourselves of Nu Lab. But do we care ? If the Tories can't see what's wrong with requiring Christians not only to disavow their religious beliefs, but to actively propagandise against those beliefs, why does it make the slightest difference whether or not they win? Meanwhile, as this case shows, for the right, the action's anywhere but Westminister. Before this case, Christian's were discriminated against, now they're not. That's a win, a successful pushback against the left. The British right can continue to delude itself that replacing one set of Metropolitan elitists with another bunch will bring forth a new age of conservatism, but winning the culture war means supporting those groups that are actually fighting it. Labels: Christianity, Culture War, PC, Pink |Victoria Climbie ReduxIt's getting to the point where every time I hear someone on the radio mention the phrase 'lessons have been learned', I wonder who the social workers have killed now. Apparently, even some social workers feel the same. A new breed of reformers are driving through real change to prevent that happening again - yes, they've invented a whole new excuse. It's a good one though. How were they supposed to know this charmer was dangerous ? An Old Bailey judge today criticised social workers after a mother stabbed her young daughter to death days after a police doctor raised questions over her mental health...Yep, a mentally ill, druggie criminal murdered her daughter. Who'd have thunk it ? Of course this is the point where these freaks usually shout 'A-ha! You just got through condemning us for acting too quickly, now you're condemning us for acting too slowly. We just can't win'. Well, libs, yes you can. Here's how: stop using junk science to manufacture bogus abuse cases, and use the resources freed up to deal with real abuse. Of course, that all depends on how you define 'abuse'. Look at the cases where social services have turned a blind eye. There was Victoria Climbe herself, then Tori-Ann Byfield, now Trycia Balhous.... You know, it's almost as if there's some kind of pattern here. If you ever doubted that the race hustlers are naught but a subsidiary of the left, consider their somnolent reaction to the parade of dead, black girls. Native families get the full range of junk science deployed to try and prove abuse, but when the victim is black, well, who are we to say that 'murdering' children is 'wrong' ? That's what's really wrong with social workers: they're driven entirely by ideology. From that all else follows. Femiloons and other associated idiots have argued for years that the traditional family is practically a gulag, so naturally social workers will go to any lengths to find evidence of the abuse that they know must be happening. On the other hand, these people will bend over backwards not to impose eurocentric concepts, such as 'murder', on the vibrant community. Doubtless, some will say leaving black girls to be brutally murdered is a 'bad' thing, but it's the price you pay for fighting racism, right ?

Not everyone gets it though: Richard Taylor, a copyright expert with media lawyers DLA Piper, said: "My advice is that trademark and copyright owners should try and be generous to their fan base."Except, of course, where the copyright owner receives a guaranteed income, in which case they're free to stick two fingers up to the fan base. Ditto, with highly-paid BBC executives grubbing for freebies. Back in the day, public servants might have had some qualms about being seen to exploit public office so blatantly, but all those years free of accountability have produced an organisation that's more than usually shameless. Labels: BBC |Neo-Prohibitionists Not Getting Any SmarterI've never been particularly worried by Tesco's alleged death grip on British retail. No matter how powerful companies are, they manage to self-destruct sooner or later. In fact, Tesco appears to be going for 'sooner': Parents shopping with their own children are being refused alcohol by over-zealous supermarket staff - for fear they are supplying drink to minors.Well, quite. I guess parents are meant to make a special trip, just to buy their booze.Or they could, just as a last resort, tell Tesco to shove it and shop at Asda. Hell, I don't even have any kids, and I want to tell this bunch of snivelling weasels where they can stick their prohibitionist-fluffing lunacy. Labels: Corporate Hell, Hooch, Neo-Prohibitionists |More On What Social Workers 'Actually Do'What was most objectionable about Cameroonatic Tim Loughton abasing himself before the Milli Tants was the way he endorsed one of their most objectionable defences, namely the claim that the public are just too darn FICK to have a worthwhile opinion on the actions of social workers. Never mind the essentially fascistic nature of this argument, the biggest problem is that the more we find out about the facts of a real case, the more it turns out that everything the critics say is right. Take this case - it sounded bad enough anyway, but the actual specifics are even worse. For starters, there's the judge's comment about the lessons of the Cleveland scandal not being learned. You might have thought he was talking about general attitudes or approaches but no, he was talking about the self-same discredited techniques: The doctors in the Eighties had relied on the discredited sign called Reflex Anal Dilatation (RAD), said to indicate sexual abuse.So RAD is RIP, right ? Not exactly. This time, the paediatrician conducted a physical examination, which included RAD. He wrote in his report afterwards: "I feel that the time has come for me to involve social services, because I am concerned about the possibility that she may have been sexually abused."Since the point seems to evade alleged conservatives like Tim Loughton, let's spell it out: this kind of junk science would never be accepted in a real court. It doesn't get any better: Overwhelmed with worry, Craig and Donna were advised to get an independent second medical opinion on Jodie's condition. Therefore, their GP arranged for a doctor called Ruth Skelton to examine their daughter. This proved to be a disastrous move.Again, this is a use of the word 'independent' as recognised by no court outside North Korea. Consider too that this independent examination used the self-same technique - in other words, they were using a finding of RAD to corroborate a finding of RAD. Never mind the law - apparently, these guys don't even respect basic logic. Lest it be argued that this case reflects badly on the medical profession rather than social workers, remember that Hobbs, Skelton and the rest of their loony cult would just have been a bunch of deranged ranters, absent a social work establishment keen to lap up any pseudo-scientific garbage they could use to conjure up bogus evidence of abuse. These doctors certainly wouldn't have been able to have this lunacy taken seriously if they'd had to advance their dingbat ideas in open court, rather than hidden from scrutiny in the family courts. This is the central point that keeps recurring again and again. It isn't just about judgement in individual cases. The system is structurally corrupt. Forget all this talk of the public's alleged ignorance - there are no set of circumstances in which it is acceptable for an 'independent' examination to be carried out by an acolyte of the original examiner. Ditto, usage of a diagnostic tool which is only 1% more accurate than tossing a coin. This is why we hate them.

Labels: free speech, Islam, PC |Monday, May 12, 2008Officers In Pursuit Of No One In ParticularDown in the comments, Lurker points out the distinctly anorexic description issued by PC Plod following the killing of Jimmy Mizen. Not 'arf - apparently the suspect is a 'male youth'. Well, that ought to narrow it down. In its own way this case marks a new low even for the Met. This is why the culture war matters. A police I'll take a shot in the dark, and tell you this case'll get a lot worse. In so far as the suspect is almost certainly one of the brudders (75% probability), I'll state here and now that the guy who killed a random white boy in an unprovoked attack not only won't be charged with racially-aggravated violence, but he'll get off even the basic murder rap with a claim of diminished responsibility (you know, sort of like this guy ) Labels: Law, PC, Police, Therapy Nation |
