When it was written, it was part of a front-page story:
Most of the problem, though, is that the faithful lack brains as well, which is why they voted for The Boy in the first place. But, as they say, vote in haste, repent at leisure. They've got him, they've saddled us with him and now we are all paying the price ... £5.8bn and counting.
And then there's the issue of defence integration. The Boy is meeting Sarkozy, The Leader Of The Kermits, tomorrow when we get sold out big time.
The Boy and TLOTK are preparing to unveil a "new approach", across the army, navy and air force, which goes "beyond the agreement last month for the countries to work together on the two British aircraft carriers".
The 13th Century Fox was trying to make his case yesterday. I always thought the man pathetic – and now he's proved it, with Autonomous Mind putting the boot in. Anyone who thinks that Anglo-French military "co-operation" isn't a Trojan Horse for the EU Army needs their brains examined.
But don't say I didn't warn you. We are in the grip of the euroslime. Democracy has ceased to function in this country - where is the democratic mandate for a merger of the Armed Forces with France and the rest of the euroweenies?
This ain't going to stop until we see blood spilled. Whoever is up there in No. 10, this is not our government ... not a British government. The aliens have taken over.

Same idea, same techniques. The Führer would have been proud of them ... and the Telegraphcalls designing a virus to kill millions as an "educational" exercise, an "interesting solution". The terrorists are writing the newspapers now.

There is much more to this than meets the eye. While the Daily Mail squawks indignantly about an "illegal" rave, as if it was something special and different, barely a weekend goes by without something very similar, on exactly the same scale, being held somewhere in London. The only thing different here was that it was slightly more "in your face" than usual, with a central London location instead of the East End, Brixton or some such.
The "rave" scene, however – or "skumtech" as the players call it - is a direct response to the over-regulation of public music performances, where music must be licensed and approved by the state, even down to genre, with high taxes on drinks and door fees that make normal places non viable - to say nothing of the smoking ban.
It is not a rebellion, as such – simply a lot of people doing their own thing, in their own way. It only becomes an issue if the police move in and try to stamp their authority on the event. Normally, they keep a respectable distance and do not interfere.
What happened this weekend, though, was that the police got arsy, and tried to close the event down. Rapid texting and other communication brought several thousand "reinforcements" to the scene, whereupon the police were politely informed that they were outnumbered and told to f**k off. Short of a bloodbath, the event was going ahead.
Wisely, the police decided that discretion was the better part of valour. Making the best of a humiliating climbdown, they retreated and told the now gathering media that they were adopting a "watching" brief. The event then went ahead as planned and has run its course, without further police interference.
Had the police sought to do more, there would have been a serious number of broken heads. If in the future, the police – on their own initiative or under political instruction – decide to intervene, there will be some serious sh*t going down. A lot of little plods ain't goin' to be getting up in the morning no more.
Bizarrely, for those who are looking for signs of revolution, they have been under our noses all the time. The youth is not apathetic. Nor is it conformist, but the "skum" are choosing their own fights over the issues that mean something to them. And if The Man wants to get in the way, he will get trampled underfoot. All we need to do is stand back and enjoy the spectacle.
COMMENT THREADMany MPs, appointed as guardians of the people's liberties, did not bother to attend the House when this measure, gravely affecting the liberty of the subject, was debated. Until the debate was ending, there were never more than fifty or sixty members in the Chamber. At times, even when vital points were being discussed, the number fell to barely thirty.
The answer to when it first appeared is here.

With some prescience, however, the headline of theDaily Mirror for 1 November 1940 warns after a relatively quiet night, "Don't think air war is over".
Of course, it was far from over. Coventry was still to come, in December London was to take its worst bombing to date – with worse to come - and the tragedy of Liverpool was yet to be played out. Bristol, Hull, Glasgow and many more towns and cities were to experience their own nights of terror.
And for me it is far from over. The experiment has spawned a book – still in the writing - to be published in September by Continuum. It will be called "The Many", reflecting the fact that the Battle of Britain currently celebrated is an artificial construct. The true Battle for Britain lasted much longer and was fought by the many, not the few.
The task is now to add to the existing 114 blog pages, layering in more detail, honing and refining the narrative until it is clean enough to be able to "lift" and shape into a book structure. But it leaves me with a conundrum. Should I continue the narrative on the blog, or leave it here? I would welcome observations.

And we're not referring to the Christmas panto ... although for all the use most of our gifted representatives actually are, that is all we should expect of many of them. Howsoever, as Booker explains, this "stolen kids" crisis has gone on long enough ... too long. It was MPs that created the mess. MPs must sort it out. They can't blame the EU. This one is entirely home grown.
