The return of the Trade Union mafia becomes more apparant by the day. It is reported that Trade union leaders are ready to drop their support for Gordon Brown’s leadership if he refuses demands to relax the laws on strike action. The general secretary of one of Britain’s big three unions claimed to have held informal talks with the prime minister’s potential successors. “As they say in the movie, it’s not personal it’s just business,” said the union leader quoting The Godfather, the 1972 film about the mafia.

As I commented a few days ago, a weakened  Labour Prime Minister is an invitation for the Trade Unions to move in and seek a return to their "glory days" prior to Mrs Thatcher coming to power, the days when they crippled this country economically, the days when their barely disguised pro-communist anti-capitalism brought Britain to a halt. It took Lady Thatcher to bring the Unions to heel but now, under Labour, they are back and seeking to grab more power. I dont think Brown can refuse them since Labour is financially bust so my fear is that despite rhetorical rejection for public consumption, Government will actually seek to give them some of what they want and THAT will be bad for us all. 

Islam may yet defeat us in a way I had not anticipated. Take this odd story concerning Dr Stewart Drage, a senior member of the British Medical Association, a respected political negotiator who made decisions affecting thousands of doctors across the country. By tragic coincidence, through work, he found himself at the very centre of the devastating Islamic terrorist attack on London on July 7, 2005, one of the worst atrocities this country has ever seen.The blasts on the capital’s transport networks killed 52 people and shattered the lives of thousands more.

And for Dr Drage, a happily married father of three, it was also to prove an extraordinary and profound turning point. You see as a direct result of this he decided to take the plunge....and become a woman. He is now a she and is officially known as Dr Michelle Drage. He remains married. What can you say?

I don't write on a personal level that often. I prefer to stick to politics. Tonight however I just feel like writing about my weekend. A slice in the life of the Troll if you will. An indulgence I ask of you and our host occasionally. Not that often, but just enough to remind myself and you that even us villains are just people with the same pain and joy as the rest of you.

To start with I got told this weekend that my aunt probably won't make it through to Monday. She has Cancer and it's in its final stages. She is the last of my mothers family that she has left. My father passed over twenty years ago, and her mother and father have gone since then. She is taking it hard, a lot harder than she is trying to let show. As her son all I can do is be there for her. It's hard to feel powerless and still stand as we should.

That is my pain at this moment.

My joy comes in two sizes, ages 11 and 8. My daughters are my life's blessing. We went to Dorney Park yesterday, we started in the water park. Four hours of waterslides and wave pools. The next seven hours were spent riding every ride we could squeeze in. My little one has grown quite brave and finally tall enough to go on any ride she wants.

Like her father she is getting an addiction to roller coasters, and Dorney has several. One of them is Steel Force the first roller coaster in the East to break the 200-foot barrier. With a 205-foot drop, two tunnels, steep banks and speeds reaching 75 miles per hour. One of the others was a wooden coaster Originally named "The Coaster," ThunderHawk debuted in Dorney Park in 1923 and was re-christened "ThunderHawk" prior to the 1989 season. Designed by Herbert Schmeck, this wooden roller coaster was manufactured and installed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The Thunderhawk roller coaster was originally constructed as an "out-and-back" roller coaster, but was modified into its present figure-eight pattern in 1930.

I spent the day watching them run from ride to ride laughing, while their mother and I enjoyed every minute of it. We ended this weekend tonight with a trip to the movies. We of course went to see Batman. Do yourself a favor and indulge in this film.

Some of you my know my feelings about the bat, if not you can read them here. As for this movie Heath Ledger brings the joker to life. Not in the buffoonish way like Ceaser Romero did, but as he is written in the dark graphic novels. The whole film is a treat. It captures the characters and offers a story that could be based in reality rather than comic books.

Not that in real life we could ever have a man running around in a costume saving us, but the story is no campy comic book tale of super villains and hero's. Go enjoy.

Well that was my good and bad. The cycle of life.

The Troll

Did you see that all State school pupils are set to be taught Islamic traditions and values in compulsory citizenship lessons. The move  -  part of a package of initiatives announced by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears yesterday  -  is allegedly designed to curb extremism!!

No it's not. It's another example of how this lousy government prostrates itself  to the demands of Islam. It's hard to know which of the Zanulabour stepford wives to loath the most, and even though I have a penchant for redheads, I think the revolting little Blears comes top of my list. Why the hell should OUR children be taught anything about Islam? If they want to enquire about this pathology sorry I mean faith, let them buy a book on it. Government has NO right to impose the malignancy of Islam on impressionable kids and parents should ensure that their children's minds are not poluuted by exposure to this government sponsored advocacy of  Islam.

We all know that the IRA has decommissioned its illegal arms arsenal and only bad people like yours truly claims otherwise. So I was intrigued to read  that the Irish police have smashed a guns-for-sale racket in which suspected former members of the Provisional IRA supplied firearms to a drug trafficking gang in north Dublin. Officers believe the suppliers were linked more recently with the dissident republican group, the Continuity IRA, but were also heavily involved in criminal activities. They think the gang, based in Co Louth, was selling guns to a drugs gang operating in the Coolock area on the northside of the capital.

Mmm..wonder where these "former" IRA terrorists got all these guns that they were enthusiastically supplying to other criminals.... since we are assured that the IRA weapons are put beyond use??

Maybe they just bought them on ebay... ?

 

Throughout our history, America's confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation.

 

Wonder which big bomb that was then? All the more remarkable given that Obama was brought up in Hawaii. 

I see that that French President Sarkozy has said he is coming to Ireland on Monday to understand the message that the Irish people wanted to convey by rejecting the Lisbon Treaty. Simple. The message is  NO to the proposed Constitution so beloved of the Euro elite! They message is that Ireland rejects the power grab that the Lisbon Treaty represents. What's so hard to understand about that?

The real reason Sarkozy is coming to Ireland is help soften up the Irish for the second referendum that will be held in the Spring of 2009 when they will be instructed to be good little Euroweenies and vote YES. Every propaganda channel will be unleashed to get the "Oui" that Sarkozy and his pals need and to hell with the already expressed will of the Irish people. Shameful. The EUSSR is an affront to all who value liberty.

I have long looked upon the leadership of the Apprentice Boys as spineless wimps and so am not in the least surprised to therefore read that they have welcomed with sweaty and grasping hands the Government of the Irish Republic's decision to fund over half the cost of this year's Maiden City Festival in Londonderry.

The festival had become a staple of the summer events calendar until 2006 when it was cancelled due to funding problems. But it emerged last night that the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin has donated £27,000 towards staging the event, scheduled to take place from August 2 to August 9. Without this foreign money, the Apprentice Boys would not have their day out.

Little house-trained tame monkeys. Don't they realise that in taking the cash from Dublin, they further undermine their claims to uphold our British identity? Do they REALLY think that this money comes with no strings attached? The leadership of the Apprentice Boys is SO awful, so brainless, so weak, that it goes beyond parody. They need not bother burning the effigy of Lundy any longer when their ranks are now full of his spiritual  heirs....

I read that the legal right of all UK householders to have their bins emptied by their local council is to be abolished.

The government is to give councils the power to refuse to collect rubbish if home owners fail to abide by draconian rules which may include leaving bins in the right place, sticking to weight restrictions and following strict recycling policies. Labour is quietly pushing the new rules through parliament without any debate after it proposed amendments to a 130-year-old law which has, until now, made it a statutory duty of local authorities to collect household waste.

Given that MY local Council levies an annual rates bill on me for over £2000 and ALL the only service they provide for me is collect my household rubbish, every two weeks, should we householders not be given the legal right to opt out of this iniquitous rates system? I care nothing for my local Council and want nothing to do with them. However Labour continues to target us, to punish us, to add cost and hassle to our daily lives - sooner or later we need to rise up and throw off the yolk of their endless and wicked oppression.

Wonder what is to be made of the mass "feed-in" at a McDonalds' restaurant by breast-feeding women following the manager having asked one woman not to breast-feed in public?

"A McDonald's manager who told a young woman to stop breastfeeding found himself faced with a demonstration of Mum Power. Maddie Reynolds returned with five friends she had met at ante-natal classes and they staged a mass feed-in at the restaurant. 'We all walked in to McDonald's together and sat around one table right by the counter,' said 27-year-old Miss Reynolds, a nursery nurse from Bournemouth."

So, was this a victory for common sense or for feminazi triumphalism?

Personally, I think the ALL these young mothers should twice before gorging on junk food! I also think that the manager could have been more tactful and the mother concerned a bit less self-obsessed. Still, it must have been quite a sight to see the mass ranks of breast-feeders as you go in asking for your Big Mac and shake!

How PATHETIC is this?

"Welsh Culture Minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas has resigned after claims he walked in to a pub holding a lit cigar. The Plaid Cymru minister quit saying his position was not "sustainable" following an earlier gaffe when he named the wrong winner of a book prize."

This is how silly our society has become - how pc we now are. Walking into a pub with a cigar may be considered inapproriate but it is IN  NO WAY  a resignation matter. Yet in our child-like society this is about the only thing that brings about a political resignation.

I am sure you will be familiar with the expression he who pays the piper calls the tune. The British Trade Unions fund the Labour Party which is governing this country. But now they have some demands. 130 of them to be precise.

The full scale of the trade unions' call for a change of political course by the Brown government can be disclosed as general secretaries meet senior ministers and Downing Street officials to discuss 130 demands they have tabled. The complete list, obtained by the Guardian, includes a right to take supportive strike action, scrapping NHS prescription charges, bringing all hospital cleaning back in-house, and a new agreement on public sector pay with the Treasury. The 130 union amendments, graded core, primary and secondary, are to be put to the Labour national policy forum next week. In a sign of the degree of union coordination, the amendments are coded, with names of proposed movers and seconders listed. Many have already been discussed with ministers.

As this government gets weaker and weaker, the unions detect they can gain the upper hand and get the swings to the hard left they hanker for.

Here is a shocking image of modern Britain.

Schoolchildren who attacked a policeman after he asked one of them to pick up some litter behaved worse than animals, the officer said today. Two officers were set on by a mob, some wearing school uniform, after they asked a teenage girl to pick up a fast-food wrapper she had dropped. She picked it up but then pointedly threw it on the ground again as a large crowd gathered around her and the two policemen. A 15-year-old girl then jumped on the 34-year-old officer and repeatedly bit him on the shoulder and torso. A colleague who raced to his aid was pulled to the ground and kicked by others as several older men and women joined the fracas in a shopping precinct in Croydon, south London. At one point more than 30 people were involved in the fight in North End, a popular after-school hangout for young people. The police constable, who was recovering from his bite injuries at home today, said the incident quickly escalated out of control. He said: "They swarmed at the start. They feel they can overcome you like a gang. It was a good 30-plus youths. "It is the behaviour. It is unbelievable. I find it amazing that someone could bite another human being like that. They were acting like animals, but I hate using the term 'animals' because they would not do that."

 

These are the gangs of feral youth that infest our land. They have NO fear or respect for the rule of law. They are quite prepated to use violence against their fellow citizens. Many of them are under 18 years old. They need to be punished and shown we will not take this crap from them.
