The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall Attacked by Mob of Anarchist and Socialist Students





Met chief Sir Paul Stephenson today mounted an extraordinary defence of armed protection officers after the worst Royal security blunder in a generation.
Sir Paul hailed the 'enormous restraint' of the team guarding Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, implying the rioters were lucky not to have been shot.
Britain's top policeman condemned the 'hugely regrettable and shocking incident' but insisted the proper procedure had been followed.
The Prince and the Duchess were not hurt but the potential risk to their safety raised serious questions about their security and the police operation.
However, Sir Paul said: 'I do think that the officers who were protecting their Royal Highnesses showed very real restraint - some of those officers were armed.
'Their priority was to get that car to the point of safety, which was the venue, and that was achieved, but it was a hugely shocking incident and there will be a full criminal investigation into it.'

President Obama Sends Bust of Churchill Packing Back to Britain




A bust of the former prime minister once voted the greatest Briton in history, which was loaned to George W Bush from the Government’s art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back.

The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds if it were ever sold on the open market, enjoyed pride of place in the Oval Office during President Bush’s tenure.

But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama to hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: “Thanks, but no thanks.”

Commentary

Lefties never could countenence Sir Winston Churchill because he represents some of the very best of Western Civilization. He also left us with a warning about Islam's Wahhabi sect:

"A large number of Bin Saud's followers belong to the Wahabi sect, a form of Mohammedanism which bears, roughly speaking, the same relationship to orthodox Islam as the most militant form of Calvinism would have borne to Rome in the fiercest times of [Europe's] religious wars.
 
 The Wahhabis profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others. They hold it as an article of duty, as well as of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and to make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahhabi villages for simply appearing in the streets.
 
 It is a penal offence to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette and, as for the crime of alcohol, the most energetic supporter of the temperance cause in this country falls far behind them. Austere, intolerant, well-armed, and blood-thirsty, in their own regions the Wahhabis are a distinct factor which must be taken into account, and they have been, and still are, very dangerous to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Show Your Support for Geert Wilders
Project Fitna on a Building Near You!


Geert Wilders has a new updated website with blog.

The normal people of Great Britain support allowing Geert Wilders to address the House of Lords 85% for and 15% against.






Stop the Islamization Of Europe has announced a new effort to support Geert Wilders and his fight against the encroachment of Islam in Europe:

SUPPORT GEERT WILDERS AND FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM

PROJECT FITNA ONTO A BUILDING


Geert Wilders has been refused entry into England, a country comprising part of the United Kingdom.


England produced the Bill of Rights in 1689 when another man from the Netherlands, William of Orange, was invited to become King William III of England.


King William III gave an oath to limit his own powers and to defend the rule of law.


England gave the world Habeus Corpus and the rights of the common man.


Today English Common Law and the Bill of Rights, out of which rose the American Constitution are in tatters.



The mother of parliaments has been raped!


The British Government, lickspittle to the EU totalitarian regime, has imposed tyranny upon the English people.


Does the Home Secretary have the power to prevent Geert Wilders entering Scotland or Wales in this veritable vomit of a post-devolution United Kingdom?


If not we urge the Scottish Parliament or the Welsh Assembly to defy the Home Secretary and invite Geert Wilders to show Fitna at their houses of democracy.


European politicians and criminal justice systems have declared war on the European people.


GEERT WILDERS HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO A NETHERLANDS COURT FOR ALLEGEDLY PROMOTING HATRED BECAUSE OF HIS MOVIE FITNA!


IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY, ALL CRITICISM OF ISLAM WILL BE SILENCED IN THE NETHERLANDS, AS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SILENCED IN AUSTRIA WITH THE CONVICTION OF SUZANNE WINTERS.


This warfare on freedom will spread throughout the West unless we, the people, stop it.



The backlash against despotism must start now!


To support Geert Wilders in his Crusade (yes Crusade) for freedom people across the West will be projecting Fitna on public buildings.



No previous announcement need be made as to the locations people choose to make their free-to-view viewings. However, some will be announcing where they will be showing Fitna,

whereas others will keep locations secret until after the event.


Small teams will be projecting Fitna and videoing their efforts for publishing on the internet.

Bloggers across the world have agreed to do this and will be publishing their support for Geert on their blogs.


So, make your stand for freedom now. Make a DVD of Fitna, and project it onto a building of your choice. Video your effort and send it to SIOE or any anti-islamisation blog.


You may keep your identity secret and protect yourselves as you see fit.


This is simple act of defiance and may be done with as little as one person, though we suggest teams of four for safety and rapidity of movement.


The date for action will be published shortly on several blogs.



Let’s roll!

Salman Rushdie Knighted By Queen Elizabeth II


Sir Salman Rushdie
Muslims around the world condemned the award when it was announced last year in the Monarch's Birthday Honours list.

Sir Salman, 61, who has written a number of acclaimed books, went into hiding in 1989 after the publication of his book The Satanic Verses.
The novel sparked widespread protests by Muslims and Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against him.

Well done, Sir Salman Rushdie, and well done to the Queen for sticking it in the eye of Islamists all over the world!

Argentina Senses Weakness, Renews Claim on Falklands

No, this is NOT an April's Fool Post. I already did one this year, thank you very much.
I just read about it on the BBC Website:

Argentina has renewed its claim over the Falkland Islands on the 25th anniversary of invading them - and losing a subsequent war with Britain.

"The Malvinas are Argentine, they always were, they always will be," said Argentine Vice-President Daniel Scioli, using the Spanish name for the islands.

Mr Scioli was speaking in the southern city of Ushuaia - one of a series of events marking the start of the war.

He urged the UK to resume talks on the sovereignty of the islands.


I was sitting in my truck this afternoon, and heard a story about this being the 25th Anniversary of The Falklands War on XM124 in Franklin. I think it was Winston Churchill III on Sean Hannity, and it was brought up in the discussion that the Royal Navy had been seriously down-sized since Tony Blair took office.
The first thought that came into my head was, "Oh No, I hope the Argetines don't decide to bite off a chunk right about now." The Argentinians would probably lose again, but who knows, they might just get lucky.
