Don't Push It!

 

It’s difficult to be nice about the English Defence League (EDL). It’s leaders boorish, uneducated and ignorant though they are, look like the Founding Fathers in comparison to their followers. Every time they show television footage of the latest EDL demonstration, I am overloaded by negative sense impressions: those idiotic painted faces, the shaven heads, their moronic adapted football chants, the ridiculous posturing beer-bellied thugs.  It gives an insight into how the venerable Bede felt about the Norsemen. Indeed, when the EDL come to town they make a Viking raid look like a Morris dance.

That’s why the confrontation of the BBC’s Jeremy Paxman with EDL head, Tommy Robinson, (see above) was so confusing. Surely the confines of a TV studio is one place where the pen would prove mightier than the sword. One would expect that the well-known Paxmoanian learning and his famous caustic impatience with mendacity would expose Tommy as a crude racist thug. And deprived of his intimidating henchmen the EDL head would shrivel under that mesmerizing gaze and maybe even blub for forgiveness.

But it didn’t quite go down like that. The curious thing about the encounter is how vapid and ineffectual the BBC’s champion was. Curiously, Paxo’s only rhetorical device was to keep on bleating several versions of: ‘Do you honestly believe that (something Tommy has many times said he believes)?” and then to huff and puff when the leader of the EDL, who is under constant threat of death from Islamists and continual harassment from the authorities answered: “Yes!”

Now I’m not a Cambridge university debating champ, but it seems to me that the technique of the BBC investigative journalist par excellence was a bit lacking. I’m not even entirely convinced that this intellectual colossus (seven titles available on Amazon!) isn’t just a tiny bit overrated.

Then it struck me where I had seen Paxman’s contemptuous exasperation before. The liberal broadcaster had the look of the cad who despises the lover he has callously wronged.

It’s not always easy being a leftie!

It wasn’t a million years ago that lefties had a torrid romance with the working class. How they loved the overt masculinity, the blunt language and the not suffering of fools. Those lean muscled powerhouses were everything that that ineffectual leftie sophisticates weren’t. They were brave,  they were moraI, even noble (though not so noble you’d let them anywhere near your daughters).

As Orwell summed it up so well in 1984: “If there was hope it must lie in the proles”.

But as Frank Sinatra had it “The affair, it didn’t go so well”. In short, the proles let them down by not revolting and stringing up the capitalists from lampposts. And now a few years down the line as I put it in Liberal Love Child:

Like many of us, “Progressives” are a bit embarrassed now by their first love and in the case of the Liberals’ love affair with the proletariat, it’s not difficult to see why. Two generations of being “helped” by Liberals have robbed them of their self-respect, rotted their morality, annihilated their communities and left a whining remnant whose only aim is to clamp its gums more firmly onto the state’s teat.

The Jesuits have a saying: “Give me a child until he’s seven and I will give you the man.”

The Liberals version is: “Give us a man for seven years and we will give you a spoilt child”

Liberals have now moved on to new romances with women’s groups, gays, ethnic minorities and above all Muslims. The fact that this last group doesn’t seem to like them much in return only adds to the frisson of danger. This group might, just might, be THE ONE. The one, that is , that finally gets down to some serious lamppost danglings.

So to be distracted from this delightful prospect by coming face to face with your old flame is unsettling to say the least.

So as a good liberal, Paxman, couldn’t repress his irrational anger when confronted with his former love. Also given the depths to which that lover has sunk, he couldn’t be bothered even to go through the motions of an objective journalist. What was the point? Surely everybody could, like him, see what a disgusting embarrassment this denizen of the working class was.

And that’s what you see on Paxo’s face. The usually so self-assured, urbane sophisticate who doesn’t turn a hair in conversation with real spokesmen of mass-murder doesn’t even try to conceal his loathing for a man that hasn’t even incited the murder of anyone much less killed anyone himself.

But Paxo and his fellow liberals would do well to consider this: The working class decadent, degraded, and fragmented though it is, has not quite sunk so low as they imagine.

The event which sparked the founding of the EDL is a clue.

In March 2009, a group of Islamists were enabled to taunt and insult a parade of soldiers recently returned from Afghanistan. In the above Newsnight documentary it’s clear that the liberal journalists doubt that it was this which sparked off the EDL. They prefer to think that the “small group of Muslims” was just  the pretext of racists that were already itching to have a go at the benighted Islamic immigrants.

This is because the liberals are blinded by their own barely concealed loathing for our soldiers. How could anyone object to Muslims screaming insults at the “baby killers”? But the working class whatever their faults are still patriotic.

Go on YouTube and watch a few clips of British soldiers fighting for their country. Listen to the accents. The officers still retain or affect the posh accent reminiscent of an earlier age and heard almost nowhere else in modern Britain. But the squaddies, the backbone, speak in the unmistakable vulgar tones of the working class. Heard together, even in the context of a deadly firefight, it’s an amusing combination.

Hundreds of these brave men, our best, have come home in coffins and thousands more have been maimed for life.

And, incidentally, as a further torture the last Labour government closed down the dedicated military hospitals and concentrated care and rehabilitation in large inner city facilities so that after the ordeal of battle some of our soldiers are subjected to hate-filled tirades from Islamo-Nazis in their hospital beds.

With all this in mind the vile insults screamed at their men on their streets were intolerable. And so was the despicable enabling by the British authorities (the Islamists spouted their provocations behind a police honour guard) .

Another illustration of the contempt our soldiers are held in came when they provided security at the wonderfully inclusive London Olympics last year. While making the whole festival possible by preventing a Muslim terrorist atrocity our soldiers were, of course, housed in the usual pigsty grade of accommodation and ordered not to wear uniforms or anything identifying them as British troops. This was to avoid further assaults from local Muslims who had attacked off duty soldiers, presumably out of frustration at the lack of terrorist carnage from their brethren.

So the uniform of a British soldier has been officially recognized as offensive and an unacceptable sight on British streets.

This is what gave rise to the EDL.

Another thing that the Newsnight journalists took pains to communicate to the viewers was that the repeated EDL claims to be non-racist and even in favour of multiculturalism are not to be believed.

Why not give the EDL the benefit of the doubt for these continual assertions of their ideals? If the expression of pacific intent came from a Muslim group the BBC would be performing cartwheels and yodelling with joy. In the incredibly narrow world view of liberals it is quite literally inconceivable that the EDL might mean it.

And here's another thing that although it's completely obvious, would amaze the liberal elite. The working class is much better integrated with our ethnic population than they are themselves. The white working class have lived and worked with them for generations and when Tommy Robinson says that multiculturalism has worked it is this he is referring to.

But life as a leftie is impossible without liberal doses of abject ignorance and hypocrisy. The liberal assumption that the working class are knuckle-dragging racists is pure projection of their own dark secret. It is the liberals who move away from the immigrant areas, the liberals who have few ethnic friends, and the liberals who insist their children be educated in the culture they affect to despise while denying that type of education to the white working class.

And when the liberals point to the violence at EDL protests as proof positive of their intents they are once again willfully misunderstanding what’s going on. Clearly many EDL protestors are looking for trouble, but try to imagine, a non-violent protest against Sharia law or Islamization! It is not going to happen. This is not the Church of England we’re talking about. All criticism of the Muslim religion, never mind protest, is met by a violent, foaming at the mouth, Muslim reaction.

And that’s just the problem.

Also liberals would do well to remember that their craven surrender in the face of deadly threats from Muslim terrorists sends the message to the EDL to turn from its aspirations toward multiculturalism and anti-racism to the only strategy that our elites really respect.

In other words the authorities are begging the EDL to turn to murder in order to be taken seriously. In addition to the likely government indulgence and seats in parliament, it could even result in a respectful interview with Jeremy!

The history of Unionism in Northern Ireland shows the template. The Unionists turned to killing in response to the IRA murders and in the latter years of the terrorist war in Northern Ireland the Loyalists were murdering more than the Provos.

The white working class that built the empire and will fight among themselves in the absence of any other enemy comes from a similar mould to those hard-faced Unionists. Like the Orangemen their way of life and is under threat, and what they believe in is being betrayed. Where they differ (and Dave may like to ponder this) is that there are around 50 times more working class in England than in the Northern Irish protestant community. 

                                                                                                                                                      
That is where the toleration of Islamization and victimization of the white working class is headed.

In the language of the working class they despise, they might like to ponder the words of warning that Sylvester Stallone's character has for the "kingshit cop" in Rambo:

“Don’t push it! Don’t push it! Or I’ll give you a war you won’t believe”

Is that what our liberal elite want?

If they don’t, then I have some advice for them:

“Don’t push it!”
