Andrew Cooper the Eurosceptic and David Camerons new Broom

In a document, tucked away in the webs archives, entitled 'This Sceptic Isle' ,an article, exploring the possibilities of withdrawal from the EU, by Ruth Lea, Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, reveals a startling coup!

Andrew Cooper, the newly appointed broom of No10 Downing Street and founder and strategic director of Populus the polling company shares his personal views on EU withdrawal.

In discussing the campaign, for withdrawal from the EU, organised by the magazine 'This is England' a question and answer format followed:


Andrew Cooper:
It’s still a minority view but it’s a minority view that has been growing over
recent years according to the polls from probably less than a third of British
voters saying that Britain should pull out … a few years ago … to more than
40% in many polls now. And in our poll in the last European Election, we
found firstly a large majority of people would like there to be a referendum
on the question whether Britain should stay in or not stay in. And …that if
there were a referendum, only just under a half say that they would vote to
pull out, and only just over a half would vote to stay in.

Ruth Lea:
And which voters are keenest to leave?

Andrew Cooper:
Among certain sections of the population there are more people who want to
pull out than who want to stay in. That’s slightly more women want to pull
out than want to stay in, if there were a referendum. Among semi-skilled and
unskilled workers, by quite a wide margin, more want to pull out than to stay
in, and among Conservative voters, by a margin of twelve per cent. Fortyseven
per cent would say that they would vote to pull out; thirty-five per cent
say they would vote to stay in if there were a referendum.

Ruth Lea:
You can hear views like these expressed not only at political meetings but in
pubs, work places and homes all over the country. How often however, are
they heard from the residents of the political village at Westminster?

Andrew Cooper:
The political establishment in Westminster thinks in a sense that it’s sort of
prima facie sign of madness to imply that Britain can pull out of Europe and
go it alone. It’s one of those sort of unchallenged truths of politics. But it’s
clearly the case that the three main parties in this country (the political
mainstream) share a sort of liberal establishment view that Britain must be in
the EU. It’s unthinkable for them to say, it’s unsayable that we might pull
out.

Ruth Lea:
Although of course there are dissidents.

Andrew Cooper:
There’s no doubt there are a lot of Conservative activists, there’s a lot of
Conservative MPs, there are probably quite a lot of Labour MPs, whose
private view is that either that we should pull out or that we will almost
inevitably reach the point when we have to pull out … because of the terms
on which membership will increasingly change. I suppose one could say that
is a suppressed view in the sense that it’s a view that they honestly feel, but
don’t feel that it’s possible to air that thought, because the climate is one in
which it’s unthinkable. It’s almost sort of, it’s de facto proof of, unsoundness
of mind and unfitness for office. It’s not something which in the British
political culture is acceptable to say within the mainstream, which is odd
given that it’s a view which is taken by such a large minority of the voters.

 

Well? So what? Just another Eurosceptic?

No ! This is a man on a mission. A mission brought about by the lobbying of the British National Party MEP's in Brussels. Connections are vital in Europe and when you have as many friends and connections as the two British National Party MEP's then things happen !

Let's have a video?



Has it dropped yet? The penny I mean? Conservatives Ministers acceding to British National Party Lobbying?

A Framework for Fairness-Barnsley by election 2011-Enis Dalton

How are we going to tackle domestic abuse and violence against women?

• Almost half of all adult women in England and Wales have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. 

• One in four women in England and Wales has experienced domestic abuse, a crime that has the highest rate of repeat victimisation of all crime and of all violent crimes.

• Nearly a third of violent incidents against women are domestic abuse related.

• One in three women seeking emergency medical care in UK inner city hospitals has experienced domestic abuse at some point in their lives.

• In addition to the domestic abuse they have experienced, 16% of women who have experienced domestic abuse have also experienced sexual assault by a partner since the age of sixteen.

• The rate of conviction for reported rape has decreased from 1 in 3 cases reported in 1971 to 1 in 8 reported case reaching trial in 2004 with only 5.3% ending in conviction.

• The abuse that they experience causes a great deal of physical and mental injuries to the women.

• Domestic abuse has long term consequences on the mental health of its victims.

• Over a third of female victims are likely to suffer emotional problems as a result; this includes depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms and eating problems.

Women and children are more at risk of domestic abuse but most public resources devoted to domestic abuse are spent on men: catching, prosecuting and imprisoning them uses 90% of all resources dealing with the protection and convictions in the criminal justice system.

Indeed very little resources are devoted to prevention, early intervention and support to women and their children to enable them to move on from abusive circumstances.

The cost of not providing this support is substantial and includes; mental and physical illness, children in care and failing at school and women not able to work.

As well as the human costs there are costs to health, social services, housing, employment and education.

The total cost of domestic abuse for the state, employers and victims is estimated at around £23 billion. 

Domestic abuse has devastating consequences for both the individual victim and the wider society. It drains resources both to the public, voluntary services and of employers and causes untold pain and suffering to those who are abused.

This needs to be addressed and public authorities need to be made aware of the significant cost to society as a result of domestic abuse.

Enis Dalton and the British National Party hope that by addressing systematic discrimination this will lead to better equality of opportunity for both women and men.
 
In addition, Enis intends to systematically address the practices and attitudes that continue to maintain the power imbalance by discriminating against women.

Emotional Blackmail by Labours Spindoctors-Dan Jarvis Barnsley by election

You know I read the sad account of Dan's loss on many a blog and I feel, as will most people, the sense of loss of a loved one. As any parent will appreciate when there are children involved they need a strong and guiding parent to be there in their time of grief. The death of someone so close, as David Cameron will testify, is something precious and to be held dear to protect the rest of the family.

So you can imagine, when I saw the Labour booklet that is being pushed through doors in the Barnsley constituency, I was horrified that the Labour spinsters had gone into overdrive extracting every last morsel of emotional tug from this poor man and his family. I cannot completely discredit Mr.Jarvis for his complicity in this exposition as it could not have been so diligently crafted without his say so.

It beggars belief that anyone in their right mind would stoop so low as to allow the Labour spinsters to print the Jarvis family album, exploiting not only his kids but that of his dearly beloved wife.

If a man can do this to his dearly beloved and cherished ones what is this man capable of in the future. Could anyone trust someone that uses his own family including his deceased wife to gain a few votes?

This is truly disgusting in my eyes and I feel sure that the people of Barnsley will see it as such also.

Barnsley by election 2011-Economics

Britain’s survival depends on a technology-intensive manufacturing base, protected

from globalisation and rampant internationalist exploitation – the core of the British National Party’s plan for rebuilding this nation’s economy after decades of Tory and Labour neglect.

Globalisation has caused the export of jobs and industries to the Far East, and has brought ruin and unemployment to British industries and the communities who depend on them.

Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers.

When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end and secure, well-paid employment will flourish.

We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people.

To that end the BNP will restore our economy and land to British ownership and will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants.

Fully cognisant of the reality that economic growth is driven primarily by true free enterprise, a BNP government will seek to give British workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterprises whose profits their labour creates. Such schemes are the only guarantee of workers being motivated to ensure the success of their employers.

The Labour government recently introduced legislation to discriminate against white males in the job market. This racist legislation is a travesty and gross betrayal of the British working class, and will be repealed forthwith by a BNP government, along with all other measures which in any way discriminate against the indigenous population.

The state institutions were built by British taxpayers and there is a moral duty and obligation on the state to give preference in the job market to native Britons.

The banksters cannot be let off the hook for their role in the current financial crisis. The BNP demands that the banksters responsible for the catastrophe which has crippled the international banking system be held personally legally liable for their actions in terms of corporate governance laws. They should have to pay a personal price for the mess they have created, and not be rewarded with huge bonuses which have come from taxpayer-funded bailouts.

In a nutshell, the BNP plan to rebuild Britain will consist of the following steps:

- The nurturing and encouragement of new and existing British industries;
- The protection of British companies from unfair foreign imports;
- The promotion of domestic competition;

- Increased taxes on companies which outsource work abroad;
- The reintroduction of the married man’s allowance;
- The raising of the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million;
- The encouragement of savings, investment, worker share-ownership and profit-sharing;
- Halving council tax by centralising education costs and eliminating multiculturalism spending and unnecessary bureaucracy;
- The renationalisation of monopoly utilities and services, compensating only individual investors and pension funds. Privatising monopolies does not benefit either the consumer or the country. All that happens is the ‘family silver’ is sold off and monopoly utilities and services are asset-stripped, often by foreign competitors.

The economy should be managed for the benefit of the nation. The other parties are enslaved to laissez-faire globalism, which means that British workers must compete against those in China and India who work for as little as a pound a day.
Oriental countries such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore have managed their economies to combine private enterprise competition with the national good, and these are the models the BNP would emulate.

In a world in which irreplaceable natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate we have a duty to our children and future generations to move towards economic growth which is socially, environmentally and economically sustainable in the long-term, rather than the present ‘boom and bust’ policies.

Personal tax is far too high. Billions of pounds can be slashed off government spending by inter alia:

- Ending the £9 billion foreign aid budget;
- Ending the £4.5 billion a year wars in Iraq and Afghanistan;
- Ending the untold billions spent subsidising the immigration swindle and all its ancillary costs (benefits, court and jail services, counter-terrorism measures, the “race relations” industry and a host of others);
- Ending the billions pumped into the EU swindle;
- Severely curtailing the tax-subsidised feeding frenzy at Westminster and other levels of government; and
- Cutting back all unnecessary layers of government which have been artificially created by years of politically correct Labour and Tory rule.

The time has come for change.

Union Subscriptions-A Pyramid get rich quick scheme?

Mr Len McCluskey the appointed leader of the Unite union whose annual salary in excess of £130,000 plus allowances, plus tax-free perks and living quarters, plus a gold-plated pension tells us on a regular basis that he is at war!

Mr Dave Prentis the appointed leader of public service union Unison whose annual salary is approx £92,000 plus £35,000 allowances, plus tax-free perks and living quarters, plus a gold-plated pension tells us nothing on a regular basis! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRlrfOCt8To&feature=player_embedded#at=37

Christine Blower the appointed Leader of the National Union of Teachers whose annual salary £124,483 plus allowances, plus tax-free perks and living quarters, plus a gold-plated pension tells us on a regular basis that she is a member of the Campaign for a Democratic and Fighting Union. It's not a political party, but a group of like-minded people within the union who have a view of how campaigning should be conducted. It counts within its ranks 'many' members of the Liberal Democrats.

Many more union executives enjoy a comfortable capitalist lifestyle whilst the subs keep on rolling in http://www.metro.co.uk/news/833825-trade-union-leaders-threatening-a-class-war-take-home-100-000-pay

Just so long as they shout 'STRIKE' occasionally the members are continually happy to pay their subs.

So, why are you paying your subs to make rich individuals? Is this not just some form of Pyramid scheme for a get rich quick campaign?

 Anyway don't let me put you off Unions per se.

There are a few out there that not only offer far better services but you will also pay less in your subs and I can assure you that every bit will count, very soon.

The Working Class Men and Women of this Country have always united in times of dire need.

It is Time to Stand Up for British Values

It is Time to Stand Up for British Values

During a busy weekend of action in Barnsley, British National Party candidate Enis Dalton pointed out that now is the time to put British people first and stand up for British values, reports Yorkshire British National Party press officer Doug Ward.

Ms Dalton also added that a British National Party politician would be good for the local people of Barnsley and vowed never to put politics before the safety of women.

Dominic Carman, struggling in the shadow of his father George, a man lost and alone.

Dominic Carman a member of the National Front during the 70's considers himself a re-born evangelist when it comes to the British National Party.

For a man that tells us he was a National Front Member and that “he had an excuse for his behaviour”, he provides very little explanation as to why he now considers it his evangelising mission to besmirch the fourth placed Political Party of the UK and a man that now has MEP status and has taken a party of Working Class Men, and more importantly Women, to the point where the name of the British National Party is on everybody’s lips.

He does however provide a few insights into his mindset when he says “Of course home life was difficult, suffused with alcohol, gambling and domestic violence............”

 

He is a man that has struggled for most of his adult life to be ‘someone’ ‘anyone’ and in so doing he fights his own demons as he struggles to attain the fame and celebrity that his father once held.  It is a devastating and all consuming obsession that has compelled the man to smear all and sundry. In his mind, he believes that he has finally found a means to an end; a way to bring some meaning to an otherwise meaningless existence; a warped,  twisted and embittered variant it may be.

Carman Jr. Snivels on regarding his father, “the encouragement I craved was never forthcoming... praise was something he could not give, yet constantly demanded for himself: a common paradox of the high achiever.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2002/jan/27/biography.features1

In reviewing No Ordinary Man by Dominic Carman the biographical account of his Father the late George Carman QC, Peter Preston of the Observer has this to say, “George Carman was not infallible. Ten days before he died, too ill to go on with the task of writing his life story, he turned the job over to his son, Dominic. 'I'm not going to be able to do it. You'd better have a go'. Thus, one short step beyond the grave, a supposedly forensic book about courtroom battles turned into a tacky tale of ungorgeous George the bisexual, the binge-drinker, the compulsive gambler; George the wife-beater and rotten pop. After Mommy Dearest, Daddy Dearest. Filial revenge has rarely tasted so rancid.”

There are many notable examples of famed fathers overshadowing their sons.  Martin and Charlie Sheen. Actor , father and political activist Martins fame was too much to handle for Charlie who found himself resorting to drug abuse (cocaine),  domestic  violence,  alcohol abuse and extra marital affairs http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/19/charlie-sheen-spends-26k-on-prostitutes-in-cocaine-filled-weekend_n_810821.html

George H.W. Bush & George W. Bush both presidents of the US. George W the man we all love to laugh at and hate with the same fervour was in December 1966, arrested for disorderly conduct. His most famous incident in 1972, shortly after the death of his grandfather illustrates the inner turmoil of a man seeking recognition. On the way home Bush lost control of the car and ran over a waste container, but continued home with the garbage can wedged noisily under the car. When his father, George H. W. Bush, called him on the carpet, for not only his own behaviour  but for exposing his younger brother to risk, George W, still under the influence, appears to have retorted angrily, "I hear you're looking for me. You wanna go mano-a-mano right here?" Arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol 1976.

And so to Mr. Carman a man who, in his mind, has finally found his way to recognition and a belonging where he is an accepted part of the community, the political elite, the establishment, a moral crusader, a man of ethics,  a ‘somebody’ an ‘anybody.’

He tells us that he is the British National Party’s nemesis, the Nick Griffin specialist, the man with his finger on the pulse when it comes to Nationalist politics.

I see him quite simply as just a man searching for fame and recognition and with Nationalist Politics, and in particular the British National Party, Carman has found that fame. Who in the whole of the UK’s National politics is more renowned and celebrated  than Nick Griffin? To attack Nick Griffin and the British National Party is to receive the praise and adulation of the political elite, the capitalist sponsors and the establishment who shower the executor in praise , recognition and gratuities. 

Why is this?

 "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our Country.

 We are governed, our minds are moulded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized." - Edward Bernays

Politicians and planners utilise Freud's underlying premise - that deep within all human beings are dangerous and irrational desires and fears. To manipulate these to ones  advantage is the key to power. 

For example: I call a Pakistani a Paki. I am instantly branded a racist. To be called a racist has a stigma attached that is not easily removed. Why is this? After all British people abroad are often referred to as Brits. Is this racist? Highly unlikely!

But look at Bernays quote again. He suggests that “our minds are moulded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested........”

‘Racism’ as a word has been demonised with such outrageous shame, disgrace, dishonour and embarrassment attached to it that the mere mention of it sends a shiver up ones spine.

Our minds have been ‘moulded’ by relentless statements, legislation, adverts, publicity campaigns etc, etc  to ‘form our tastes’ that this word, this reference to someones race, is so disgracefully bad that we reject anyone who does not conform to the ‘idea suggested’

Now are you starting to understand how we are part of one big social engineering program?

Even this article will be derided for its content because to not do it risks the possibility of a shifting awareness in society.

As a conclusion to this article, in 2005, Carman took part in ITV's Vote for me television programme in which the public selected an individual to stand at the next general election, losing to Rodney Hylton-Potts. 'Comedy fascist' is viewers' choice in TV election http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/elections/article413020.ece

Barnsley Sexual Abuse & Rape Crisis Helpline (BSARCH)

Please take the time to visit this site. It is run with limited necessary staff and a dedicated group of volunteers. As the site explains "We recognise that sexual violence can affect anyone, whatever their background or circumstances."  

It continues "Established in 1988, we have over 20 years' experience of providing specialist sexual violence services." 

With the recent appalling attacks, on young teenage girls, in many areas of the UK, on the rise we may well be requiring many more of these volunteer supported centres.


As the Government and all Parties excusing the British National Party continue to cover up Muslim Grooming we ask the people of Barnsley "Who is there to protect yours and your children's interests?"

British Asian Conservative Link

Take a good look! This is the way in which the Indigenous British Electorate is being erased from the map. The LibConDem alliance and Eddie and Eddie the double act know how important the Asian vote is to them. In areas that have received unprecedented immigration numbers this is a vital vote winner to the various parties.

So after covering the land with immigrants, legal and otherwise, it's a very simple process to scoop up the votes. Just do as the website quotes:

 "BACL’s prime focus will be on marginal seats and other seats where Asian voters could make a real difference. We will ssupport Conservative PPCs in outreaching to Asian constituents and win Asian Votes in the 2010 General Elections."

Their policy:

"The BACL aims to offer the British Asian communities genuine political leadership by representing their aspirations, concerns and lifestyles. We stand to encourage Asian men and women to participate in politics, at all levels, with aspirations to offer council and parlimentary candiates."

Chairman BACL

Barnsley the most Racist town in Britain ? - Barnsley By Election 2011

There's only one group of people espousing that filth and that's the left wing Communists, Marxists, Anarchists and Social Workers Party members all united under one banner. The latest and most dangerous tactic of the revolutionary far left is that of pandering to the Muslim communities. An extremely dangerous tactic it is. Islamism is on the rise and just as in the Arab world the revolutionary nature of this ideological movement is pursuing its political aims via the universities and colleges of the UK.

Hard to swallow eh?

Conspiracy?

If only we could answer Yes!

But the simple truth is that this is happening right under your noses!

Please read the Government website supported (with your Taxes) Islamist groups and societies are flourishing in the UK's Educational establishments http://www.socialcohesion.co.uk/files/1292336866_1.pdf

Also watch this video of Newsnight regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. If you believe that this is a world apart and is unlikely to affect you then think again! http://www.masheduk.co.uk/the-prophet-and-the-proletariat-chris-harman/

At more grass roots level the working class, (or should we say non working) now totally abandoned by Labour, (even with their Hampshire candidate parachuted in) will undoubtedly receive no reprieve from the Conservatives and their glove puppet LibDems, are saying this..............................

“Barnsley is extremely bad now. We’ve got no big industry round here. We used to have the pits and the steelworks, now we are left with warehouses and supermarkets and that carry-on. It’s all basic wages; there are no well-paid jobs.” Barnsley has always been an old-fashioned Yorkshire town. People have never had muslims living next to them.

The two  lads walking down the precinct in their T-shirts had voted British National Party and didn’t care who knew it. “About 40 of us went and voted British National Party,” said Gary, 22, a bricklayer. “All our mates wanted to vote. Get ’em out.” Who? “muslims. They’re dangerous. They’re seriously dangerous.” 

“There’s a hell of a lot (Pakistanis) now — from all over; we’re absolutely flooded out. People feel the Pakistanis are looked on more favourably than our people.”

There's only one vote for the working class people of Barnsley, don't leave it too late!
OTHERS HAVE!

Darren Gough in Strictly Come be my MP !

DAVID Cameron has asked former England cricket star Darren Gough to stand as a Conservative MP.

The PM phoned bowler Gough - who initially thought it was a prank and hung up.

All about celebrity. The Conservatives have totally lost the plot!

A Tory MP had to call back to assure him the offer to contest the seat of Barnsley Central in South Yorkshire in the March 3 by-election was real. A source said: "Goughie thought it was a wind-up and told the caller to get stuffed.
"The Tories have been wooing him for a while. He said he'd think about it." A No 10 source said: "The PM's a big fan. They later had a very good conversation."

Tory supporter Gough who was born in Barnsley won Strictly Come Dancing in 2005.
The Tories have little hope in the safe Labour seat but Gough, 40, could dent their majority.
The poll follows MP Eric Illsley's conviction for fiddling expenses.
