Britain and Israel
2010-09-28 09:08:00 Britain is curiously similar to Israel in foreign relations. A small country which used to be strong, proud, and expansionist, a viable ally deteriorated into a barking dog, prone to rhetoric and mini-actions, unwilling to use whatever military power it still possesses, clinging to useless pieces of foreign land instead of respectable large-scale colonialism. Like Israel, Britain has become a burden to the US, where the supposed cultural affinity substitutes for strategic value. Britain is especially prone to lambasting Israel in order to dissociate itself from us, and to look different from Israel in the eyes of Americans. The British promised the Jews a state in return for the Jewish lobby dragging America into WWI. Britain changed its mind when it was granted the Mandate: the status quo was too good to abandon. When the Jews and Arabs of Palestine began to drive them out, the British found an ally in a powerless puppet to whom they subsequently allotted Jordan, a territory three...

Post War Economic Britain
2010-02-16 09:18:00 Pre War - It is worth remembering how bad the economic situation was before the war. Mass unemployment started in the 1920s. There was deflation, and falling wages which precipitated the great national strike of 1926. The Great Depression only exacerbated the problem of unemployment and poverty. As writers such as George Orwell memorably depicted in The Road To Wigan Pier - The 1930s was also a bad time to be unemployed - unemployment insurance was meagre, means tested and inadequate. Basically, in the 1930s, there was no welfare state, no universal health care - just mass unemployment, especially in the north.It was this grim period of the 1930s, that raised so much hopes that after the war things would really be better. A key element for this new hope was The Beveridge report which laid the foundation for the modern welfare state and the abolishment of poverty. Beveridge was not a socialist, but, a liberal. Yet, his vision of a universal welfare state laid the foundation of post w...
An Economic History of Modern Britain
2010-02-15 13:56:00 I've been enjoying watching Andrew Marr's BBC programme- A History of Modern Britain - from rationing to punk rock - from Enoch Powell to Arthur Scargill - modern Britain had everything (and at times, surprisingly violent into the bargain). You also realise how much economics influenced, life, living standards, politics and society. Looking back over the turbulent past few decades also puts the current economic crisis into perspective.This week I will be writing a brief and potted Economic history of Modern Britain.Economics of the 1920s - a legacy of war debt, deflation and life under the gold standardEconomics of the Great Depression 1930s - the economics of mass unemployment.This week:Economics of the 1940s and 1950s - Austerity, rationing, war debt, but full employment, new welfare state and rising living standards.1960s - The 'You've never had it so good era' starts to unwind.1970s - The Era of Discontent. Strikes, 3 day weeks, inflation, boom and bust. The 70s had everyt...
Pope to visit Britain 2010
2009-09-24 01:06:00 Pope Benedict XVI will visit Britain next year following an invitation from Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a government source said on Wednesday.

Saudi Power/Influence in the United KIngdom -- Her Majesty's Britain
2009-03-31 23:28:00 Saudi Arabia has the power/influence not only to have American newspapers --that like to see themselves as "talking truth to power"-- bend over backwards to justify Saudi massacres of civilians but they have power/influence in the UK --Britain-- too. David Pryce-Jones reports several cases, one of which we have reported on Emet m'Tsiyon. In Britain Saudi demands have perverted the normal system of criminal investigation and caused injustice against British citizens oppressed ["mistreated"] by the Saudi kingdom. The situation is outrageous but it seems that there is not enough outrage to correct it.Here is our previous post on Saudi-demanded perversion of political and journalistic decency in the United States. What does it mean that the press and universities and judicial systems in supposedly democratic countries pervert their own conduct in order to please the superrich bigots who represent Wahhabi Islam?Many of Israel's enemies in America try to have things both ways.

Islamification of Britain
2009-03-20 16:49:00 Labour Party MP Shahid Malik has predicted the total Islamification of Britain and a Muslim prime minister, ?Allah willing?, within the next thirty years. The remarks were made at the October 2008 ?Global Peace and Unity? conference held at the Excel London centre, but were deliberately withheld from the video coverage released of that event. The video speech in which Mr Malik made his remarks has now been released on the internet?nearly five months after the event. The suppression of the video was clearly designed to try and limit the damage to the ruling Tory and Labour elite, whose immigration policies have led to the situation where a Muslim cabinet minister can confidently predict the total Islamification of this nation. In his speech, Mr Malik said that he was ?proud of the achievements of the Muslims of this country since 1997.? Referring to Muslim members of the British parliament, himself included, Mr Malik went on to say that: ?In 1997 we got our first Muslim MP. In 2001 w...

Instead of making this address and showing his film Fitna, he was detained by UK immigration officials on his arrival at London Heathrow airport and sent back to the Netherlands as a risk to ?public security.? Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna [see it here], and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom. This is no ordinary place.
