Sunday Paper Review: 8th November 2009

Well, well, well. While we do not support the BNP, it seems they were right all along. Barely a fortnight has passed since we learned that Labour deliberately planned to open the doors to immigrants in a bid to force the nation to become multicultural. Today, the Sunday Times - hardly a right-wing rag - has a dossier revealing how Labour told immigration officials to - metaphorically - open the flood gates and to take risks. So, we British folk have had our civil liberties curtailed by these freedom hating b*st*rds. Sorry about the word, but it is the only appropriate word. And yet, lo and behold, we find it has been Labour policy to let anybody and everybody in, no matter how dangerous. This is a story well worth reading, and if you feel like voting for the BNP as a result, you could hardly be blamed for your response.

It gets worse. Apparently, Labour tried covering up the documents that proved what they had been up to. Read it. It is in the Sunday Times.

Meanwhile, Gormless isn't going to be able to claim he's capable of saving the world on financial matters. Not only is Britain first in and last out of recession (we're still in it), but now Gormless has been humiliated after the IMF, the US and Canada have told him to naff off with his plans to tax financial transactions to raise money for bank bailouts. The Sunday Telegraph has the low-down.

The Sunday Telegraph also has an editorial summing up Labour's attacks on British democracy which this blogger thinks hits several marks spot on the head. Anybody connected with the Labour Party ought to read it and hang their heads in shame when they reach the concluding paragraph.

Onto telling us something we don't know, a new league table reveals that in the 200 constituencies with the largest percentage of benefit claimants, 189 return a Labour MP. It leaves the Mail on Sunday to declare that 'Labour depends on the votes of Welfare Britain'. You don't say! From the data, it seems that one in seven in Liverpool Walton are claiming incapacity benefit. Goodness grief. And I go to work because..? That really is outrageous. If you're claiming incapacity benefit and really know you shouldn't be, such action is almost as shameful and socially unacceptable as voting Labour. Please stop the latter as an urgent priority.

Meanwhile, over in the Conservative ranks, it appears - if the Independent on Sunday is to be believed - that a large number of senior and backbench Tory politicians have threatened "all out war" if the British people do not get a referendum on Europe within eighteen months. While Cameron's "EU turn if you want to" moment has made him look p*ss-weak, we hope that this story is correct and urge any Conservative politician or activist to put pressure on Conservative central HQ to insist that we repatriate national sovereignty - referendum or no flipping referendum. You're conservatives, so damn well conserve something... Britain and the British way of life, for example. We applaud and praise every Tory who stands up for Britain and our sovereignty.

The Sunday Express foreshadows a paper from the Bruges Group which is highly critical of Cameron's 'EU turn'. The "eurosceptic" "think tank" (labels which sounds so much more sinister than, say, 'Common Purpose', huh?) accuses Cameron of further damaging the relationship between the political class and the public with his move. Gerry Frost is quoted saying: "In rejecting a referendum, Mr Cameron is perpetuating a style of politics which effectively disenfranchises the British people on EU and related issues. This will have effect of increasing the deep mood of public cynicism with politics generally." We'll go along with that...
