‘Muslim Students in Britain Reportedly Taught to Chop Off Hands of Thieves, Hate Jews
Islamic schools across Britain are reportedly teaching their students how to cut off thieves’ hands and that Jews are plotting to take over the world.
One textbook given to 15-year-old students outlines physical punishments for violating Shariah law, according to BBC.
“For thieves their hands will be cut off for a first offence, and their foot for a subsequent offence,” the book says.
Diagrams are given to teenagers detailing where the amputations should be made, The Telegraph reports.
Investigative TV show “Panorama” on BBC One will reportedly present evidence Wednesday night that the textbooks were uncovered at a network of 40 private schools that teach a Saudi Arabian national curriculum….’                              source

against citizens on American soil, would the soldiers follow orders?  It’s an interesting question, sparked by something commenter Southern said.

‘The Government has bowed to pressure over the foreshore and seabed repeal bill and ditched a provision that would have allowed secret deals to be done with iwi to award customary title.

…..Attorney-General Chris Finlayson said yesterday that recognising title through legislation rather than regulation “will dispel any concerns about future Governments doing shoddy deals”.

Never mind future governments, you weasel–deals don’t get much shoddier than this one by your party.

……Yesterday, the the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill was reported back two weeks early from the select committee studying it, amid an outcry by opposing parties over the speed it was being processed.
……..Act deputy leader John Boscawen said the select committee had had only one sitting day to consider a 500-page report by officials – “a massive abuse of parliamentary scrutiny”.
“I believe the Government wants to pass this legislation as quickly as possible, as far away from the election date as possible.”
Labour MP David Parker said the process had been farcical. After receiving 4455 submissions and hearing submissions all over the country, “consideration of all of the issues raised was done in less than two hours”.                source

And:
‘National and Maori Party MPs have used their majority on a parliamentary committee to ram through legislation that replaces the Foreshore and Seabed Act in a way that opposition parties say is an outrage.
After receiving nearly 6000 submissions on the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Bill, most of them opposing it, the Maori affairs select committee has decided on a majority vote to send the bill back to Parliament with no changes and a recommendation that it be passed into law without amendment.’     source

John Key’s cavalier dismissal of the smacking referendum results was no isolated case. This slimeball has as much respect for the voters as his predecessor showed.  Arrogance with sugar topping–and Kiwis bought the topping.

‘In 1966 BBC Television embarked on its most ambitious documentary series to date. The eminent art historian Lord Clark was commissioned to write and present an epic examination of Western European culture, defining what he considered to be the crucial phases of its development. Civilisation: A Personal View by Lord Clark would be more than two years in the making, with filming in over 100 locations across 13 countries. The lavish series was hailed as a masterpiece when it was first transmitted in 1969.
From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, Clark’s compelling narrative is accompanied by breathtaking colour photography of Europe’s greatest landmarks. This ‘history of ideas as illustrated by art and music’ remains the benchmark for the numerous programmes it inspired.’

This was a wonderful series and it’s now available on DVD.  There goes another $70!
And this was another great series. Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”

‘”What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us!

We knew it, and we thought you knew it.

But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

Which makes the point perfectly–we in the West don’t lack the means to stop the thugs and barbarians. We lack the will, because that will has been systematically subverted, hollowed out, for half a century now. We are effectively disarmed and we’d better get used to it.

‘…In an irony truly worthy of the word supreme, Obama has not one objective accomplishment to his name. The only thing he’s ever done even partially on his own hook is to run for office. His cathedral to himself stands unsupported by even the flimsiest of timbers.
It goes beyond any rational conception of tolerance that we should permit this man to occupy the White House even an instant longer. Yet he persists there, haughtier and more overbearing than any emperor of old. He stands indifferent to all evidence of his depredations. He persists in belittling, vilifying, and attempting to silence, personally and through his cat’s-paws in the various media, anyone who dares to question his Divine judgment.
What will become of America should we fail to cast this pretender from his throne?’     source

‘The unelected Maori Statutory Board will cost Auckland ratepayers $3.4 million a year to run after its budget was rushed through under urgency yesterday.
Councillors were given virtually no time to consider the budget, which has blown out from a $400,000 estimate – by the agency that set up the Super City – to a multi-million-dollar cost.
……..The Auckland Council also operates a Maori strategy and relations department with 19 staff.
IT ALL ADDS UP
* Pay and expenses for nine board members: $494,500
* Pay and expenses for non-board members sitting on council committees: $50,500
* Staff costs: $946,500
* Legal, communication, professional advice, tikanga: $470,000
* Engaging and reporting to Maori community: $280,000
* Audit of council performance relative to Treaty of Waitangi: $175,000

This bullshit will continue for as long as Kiwis lack the courage to stand up and speak out about it. For as long as they tolerate things such as being forced to attend workplace “cultural sensitivity” courses and speak only furtively about their anger and humiliation in the face of institutionalised racism. Speaking up is the kiss of death career-wise because not enough people have the courage and self-respect to do so.  From personal experience working in an environment where this kind of PC intimidation was rife I know how much anger there is out there–and how few people express it openly.  The problem is us–this crap can only survive and grow with our complicit, spineless silence.

(Tony Abbott is the leader of Australia’s conservative opposition party)
The headline: ‘S— happens’: Tony Abbott to troops after Digger’s death
TONY Abbott is fighting a report he dismissed the death of an Australian soldier in Afghanistan with the words, “s— happens”.’
Take the trouble to read the article though, and a very different picture emerges. The bastards in the media know full well that what will stick in the public’s mind is the headline.
Update: Andrew Bolt does it better: “It’s a miracle Abbott didn’t hit him”

‘Poorly-trained foreign nurses will be allowed to work in Britain after completing only two days of role playing and multiple choice tests.
The short course replaces the rigorous assessments and exams currently undertaken by those failing to meet NHS standards.
To work on wards, nurses are likely to need to show only their skills on dummies, with no requirement to speak good English.
The shake-up is being imposed by the European Union, which says tests on foreign workers go against its freedom of movement laws.’                  source

Update: Perhaps this is the future for Brit medicine?
