An Englishman is beheaded in his front yard. The world is silent.
Patrick McGee, a 63 year old unmarried pensioner living in the diverse Crumpsall District of Manchester, England, was murdered and beheaded in his front garden at about 9 p.m. on December 15. The murder was reported in the Mail on the 17th, and, thanks to a reader who quickly sent me the item, I immediately posted something on it, at 12:43 a.m., December 17. It is now noon, December 18. I just googled ""patrick mcgee beheaded"", and the most-read page at the Google results page is my VFR entry. So it's a repetition of the coverage of the Canadian beheading last summer, when VFR was the most visited site that used the word "Muslim" in connection with the likelihood that the beheader was a Muslim. But here the lack of mainstream coverage is worse: VFR is the most visited site that simply states that Patrick McGee was beheaded. Second on the results page is the Mail story that I originally linked. There's also a BNP item, "Pensioner's Beheading Passes Unremarked." There's a blog at the Telegraph, quoting (without attribution) the BNP item. There's a Stormfront item, which copies the Mail article, followed by one anodyne comment. (I was surprised to see anything at StormFront at all, given the fact that as Jew-haters they downplay the Islamic threat.). The rest of the links are to obscure blogs.
So that's it. Two and a half days after the murder and beheading of a retired Englishman in front of his house, there has been only one mainstream news article about it, the original Mail story. None of the English columnists who make a specialty of warning about Islamic extremism and the rampant violence in today's Britain have mentioned it. Melanie Phillips has had nothing on it.
Furthermore, the Mail, the only paper that did cover the murder, did not exactly cover itself with glory. Here's the headline and lead sentence:
Neighbour held after pensioner decapitated and head dumped in wheelie bin 'after row over noise'
A pensioner was decapitated and his head dumped in a wheelie bin apparently after a disagreement over noise.
A man is beheaded, and it's attributed to "a disagreement over noise"? What does that remind you of? Remember Ann Pressly who was raped and murdered in her home in Little Rock last month, her entire head bashed in, every bone in her face broken, her jawbone showing through her shattered face, which was the way her mother found her, and the authorities and papers for weeks reported it as "a random burglary"?
This is the evil system under which we in the West are now living, a system in which monstrous crimes are committed, and--especially when they are done by minorities against whites--they are "routinized," their real nature concealed or thinned out, so that there is no reaction to them, the danger is not noticed. We are living under a belief system and a government-media complex that passively or actively intend our destruction.

Also see theforumsite.com that's linked on the first page of Google results for the Manchester beheading
It mentions the Mail's editing of their initial online story to remove the national origin of the suspect: Filipino. Something tells me the guy isn't Catholic.

The English used to flay the Vikings they caught and nail their hides to the doors of churches. Though the authenticity of this practice is now disputed, the spirit of retribution formerly manifested towards foreign malefactors is not. When 800 Danes landed in Devon in 878, most were killed in battle, and the rest were hanged. In 1002, King Aethelred ordered all the Danes in England killed in what is now known as the St. Brice's Day massacre.
In normal circumstances, common sense dictates a healthy, open, and flexible ethnocentrism. Communities want both to preserve themselves and to enrich themselves from contact with outsiders. However, in the face of threats from outsiders, such openness must give way to ferocity. Survival is infinitely more valuable than enrichment. That is just a feature of reality, the exigencies of which are codified in natural law.
Since we think of the coming of Christ at this season, we might reflect that his coming did not abrogate natural law. It deepened our relation to it, by inviting us to identify with the divine perspective even as we live in the Creation. That gives us a complex perspective: even as we fight our enemies, pursuant to our divinely mandated duty to preserve our own nation, which is a creation of God's providence, we recognize them as creatures of the Lord.

What a scene! As usual, you seem to be covering an issue that is just too horrific for the tender sensibilities of our delicate citizens to know about, to speak of, or to think about. And it is certainly too dreadfully un-p.c. to propose any action which might hinder the future beheadings of our citizens.
Neighbour held after pensioner decapitated and head dumped in wheelie bin 'after row over noise'
By JAYA NARAIN
Last updated at 12:15 PM on 17th December 2008A pensioner was decapitated and his head dumped in a wheelie bin apparently after a disagreement over noise.
Patrick McGee, 63, was ambushed in his front garden as he returned home from a meeting.
The attacker cut off his head, then picked it up and dumped it in a nearby wheelie bin.
The alarm was raised at around 9.20pm on Monday night after police were called and officers found the victim's decapitated head in a wheelie bin. A man was arrested at the scene.

Senior police sources last night confirmed that they were investigating theories that Mr McGee had been involved in a fracas over anti-social levels of noise at a nearby house in Crumpsall, Manchester.
Detective Chief Inspector Howard Millington, from Greater Manchester Police, said: 'This is the shocking murder of a man and our thoughts are with his family at this terrible time.
'We know people must be stunned by what has happened, and the very distressing details that have come out about Patrick's death.
'We want to reassure people that we are working hard to find out exactly what happened to him.'
He added: 'If you have any concerns, or any information you think might help our investigation, please come and speak to someone.'
A regular churchgoer, Mr McGee was a former joiner at the North Manchester General Hospital and a representative with the public service union Unison.
He was single, had lived on the same street all his life and had spent years looking after his late mother and father John and Iris McGee.

Mr McGee's brothers paid tribute to him and spoke of their shock.
John and Dennis McGee said: 'Patrick would never have hurt anyone, he was such a kind and gentle man. He was a devout Catholic who enjoyed going to church.
'He had lived in that house for 50 years. He had retired early in his 50s to look after our elderly parents, who died in the 1990s, and had lived alone ever since.
'This has come as a terrible shock to us. It is the sort of thing that you read about happening to other people, you never expect it to happen to yourself.'
Christine McDonough, a local resident and friend, said: 'Patrick was a real gentleman, a proper neighbour who was well-liked by everyone who came across him. He was always very polite and friendly and took an active interest in the community, helping people wherever he could.
'I just can't believe that someone would do such a thing in a nice suburban street like this. It is like something out of a horror film.'
Last night it also emerged that Mr McGee may have been involved in a scuffle in the street a few days earlier.
Jack Higgins, 65, a neighbour said: 'Paddy came to a meeting of the residents' association at Crumpsall Methodist Church between 7pm and 8pm and I spoke to him there.
'I noticed cuts and bruises on his hands and he had nasty scratch marks down his cheek but he wouldn't say how he had come by them.
'Apparently he had been found in the street earlier with blood on him. He left the meeting in his car and it seems he never managed to get through his front door.
'It is just awful to think about and everyone round here is in shock.'
Pauline Cribbin, 66, a retired hospital worker who had known Mr McGee for 36 years, said: 'He was a very nice, quiet gentleman and he worked at the hospital all his life. Paddy would never harm anyone, and I can't think of anyone who would do this to him.'
Sue Breadman, 64, who lived opposite the victim for more than three decades, said: 'I knew him for 36 years and he didn't upset anyone and he didn't have any enemies that I could think of.
'I hope that they get whoever is responsible for this, it's devastating and why did it have to happen to our Paddy? He had done nothing wrong.'
A 31-year-old man, understood to be suffering from mental illness, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
