Terror of Tory MP's daughter as NINE anti-terror police raid his home over 'immigration leaks to media'

By James Chapman and Ian Drury

Last updated at 4:17 PM on 28th November 2008

Extraordinary details of the heavy-handed police operation against Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green were revealed this afternoon.

Nine counter-terrorism officers raided the MP's London home, frightening his 15-year-old daughter Verity and wife Alicia who were there.

Mr Green was seized at his constituency home in Ashford, Kent, and held at Belgravia police station for nine hours, only one of which was used to question him about his alleged crime - leaking information embarrassing to the Home Office

.......

David Davis, the former Shadow Home Secretary, said Mr Green's job was exposing failures in the Government and that the arrest was 'reminiscent of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe'.

He added that Winston Churchill relied on a Whitehall whistleblower to expose lack of preparedness before World War II.

'If the police had applied these rules in the Thirties, Churchill would not have been Prime Minister - he would have been a prisoner,' he said.

Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti said: 'The fundamental duty of the Metropolitan Police is to protect Londoners from harm, not the Government from political embarrassment.'

Clearly, the man was about to finally blow the whistle on immigration. If Blair had been around, he would have been dragged off to the Tower in chains.

The truth will out on the Labour blackists, let them all in, fill the place up, more votes for us mob.

See "Jack Straw", that inscrutable, terrifying creature. Who, without the slightest doubt in my mind and doubtlessly others, is at the bottom of this classic piece of Stalinism . Pogroms next.. if you are white, leave the country, if you are let.

What next? Polly puts the jackboots on?
Hatred makes strange bedfellows. Earlier this week, the Editor of the Daily Mail gave a speech condemning the way in which judges are bringing in a privacy law by stealth.
He cited in particular the ludicrous privacy case brought by Formula One boss Max Mosley, who was turned over by the News of the Screws for his kinky sex sessions with prostitutes dressed up as German soldiers.
This was enough to get Pole Dance Polly foaming at the mouth, consumed as she is with fear and loathing for the Mail and all its works.

In a splendidly barking and rabid piece in the Guardian — which inter alia accused the Daily Mail of being responsible for giving children measles — Toynbee found herself not only attacking press freedom, but siding with the son of a well-known fascist notorious for exploiting women for his own sexual gratification.
You couldn’t make it up.
Maybe Max should give Polly a call. She’d make a marvellous stormtrooper.

Black MP in warning to 'racist' Italy

The spectre of fascism is 'haunting the country' after a spate of attacks on African immigrants

Tom Kington in Rome
The Observer,
Sunday October 19 2008


Italy's only black MP has warned of growing racism after a surge in attacks on immigrants across the country.
'Immigrants are becoming the enemy,' said Jean-Léonard Touadi, 49, who was born in Congo and went to Italy in 1979. 'With an economic crisis under way, Italy has found a scapegoat to blame its woes on.'
Touadi, a member of the opposition Values party, spoke out after a spate of assaults on immigrants. In Milan last month Abdul William Guibre, 19, originally from Burkina Faso, was beaten to death in an attack which made headlines across Italy. After accusing Guibre of stealing a packet of biscuits, a bar owner and his son called him a 'dirty black' and set on him with a metal pole.

BBC'S RACE HORROR Row over middle England's top show, Strictly Come Dancing

EXCLUSIVE

By Dan Wootton and Phil Taylor, 26/10/2008, News of the World

THE BBC is embroiled in a furious race row over talented BLACK celebs being booted off Strictly Come Dancing while WHITE stars with “two left feet” stay in.

Complaints have flooded into the BBC’s website in their hundreds since last weekend’s “unfair” dance-off between the 2008 show’s ONLY two black contestants.

Having two black people at the bottom who hadn't even performed badly looked very bad for us

And yesterday angry stars demanded a probe into what many see as racist voting patterns on the series dubbed Middle England’s favourite,

The uproar follows Rising Damp star Don Warrington and M People singer Heather Small coming bottom in the public vote last Sunday after performing BETTER than three white celebs.

Don got 23 points from the judges and Heather 21, while TV journalist John Sergeant only scraped 16, and swimmer Mark Foster and GMTV frontman Andrew Castle managed just 17.

Horrified

Last night a Beeb insider admitted chiefs were mortified by the public vote, saying: “There were a lot of people at the BBC who watched in horror on Sunday night, like viewers did.

“Having two black people in the bottom two who hadn’t even performed badly was a very bad look for us.”

But the result was just the latest in a string of controversial public votes.

After Don was booted out by the judges, the official Strictly website was besieged with accusations of racism.

One viewer fumed: “I’m really concerned the voting for Strictly is racist. There’s no way Don and Heather both deserved to be in the bottom two.”

Black olympic sprinting ace John Regis was also horrified, telling us: “I was shocked. I thought, ‘You must be kidding.’ It’s not like sport, when it’s down to performance—other factors come into play. Strictly is a middle-class kind of show and that possibly could be the area where racism still festers. I feel sorry for Don. I wouldn’t go on Strictly for all the tea in China.”

In the 2007 series, black soccer legend John Barnes was in the dance-off FOUR times, despite out-scoring white celebs.

The previous year Beeb bosses even changed the rules of the competition after hotly tipped finalist DJ Spoony was voted off after just three weeks.

They introduced the dance-off to save good dancers like him who had scored poorly with the public.

Also in 2006, black Harry Potter heartthrob Ray Fearon, was shockingly evicted before white goalie Peter “Two Left Feet” Schmeichel. And in 2005, black Holby City star Jaye Jacobs was voted off in the second week after getting better marks than three others.

Last night Spoony said it was time the subject of racist voting on shows like Strictly was given a wider airing. He said: “This is a big issue.”

Racism

Heather Small, who was competing again last night, declined to comment. But a close pal said: “There’s definitely something in this. There may be institutional racism at work in the public vote.”

Her show rival Austin Healey denied voting was racist. Mixed-race singer Alesha Dixon WON last year, and athlete Colin Jackson was runner-up in 2005.

Austin said it was about personalities and talent, adding: “The British public are very diverse. You need to have a good story when you’re in this show as well.”

Dance partner Erin Boag said: “John Sergeant was the underdog, Andrew is in GMTV, Mark Foster—he got his chest out. It just happened to be Heather and Don in the bottom.”

The BBC temporarily closed its Strictly website forum after it was besieged. A spokesman said: “We encourage its use as an opportunity for viewers to discuss the show. Users have expressed opinions on both sides of the argument.”

Horrified and mortified at reality!!!.

Young people 'think immigrants are a threat to national identity and jobs'

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 12:03 PM on 27th September 2008

Young people feel a loss of national identity through the steady stream of immigrants

Young people think a steady stream of immigrants is eroding Britain's national identity and threatening jobs, a survey said today.

Almost two-thirds (60%) of the young people surveyed in the poll by the British Council thought the presence of foreign immigrants was "diluting" their sense of national identity.

A quarter said immigrants posed a threat to British workers' jobs and 12% said they thought the influx of people from abroad was a risk to security and public order.

Two thousand people aged between 18 and 35 were asked about their attitude towards immigration and their sense of national identity.

The survey comes as shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve warned that multiculturalism in the UK has left a "terrible" legacy, creating a vacuum that has been filled by extremists.

In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Grieve said: "We've actually done something terrible to ourselves in Britain. In the name of trying to prepare people for some new multicultural society we've encouraged people, particularly the sort of long-term inhabitants, to say 'well your cultural background isn't really very important'."

He told the newspaper that long-term inhabitants have been left fearful, while second- and third-generation immigrants have felt alienated and unsure what British values stand for.

Both the survey and Grieve's comments come on the eve of the Conservative Party conference.

The British Council said the results of this week's survey were "worrying".

"This study throws up some interesting reflections, and also some rather worrying results," said Paul Docherty, the director of the British Council in Italy.

"Although there are many areas where British and Italian young people have a positive outlook, it is clear that there are stark challenges facing our societies in staying in touch with our younger generation and addressing some of their fears."

The survey was split between young people in Italy and the UK and was commissioned by the British Council ahead of its annual Anglo-Italian conference to discuss how political establishments can stay in touch with young people's fears and ambitions.

Immigration minister calls for cap on newcomers

Phil Woolas is applauded by anti-immigration group Migrationwatch but leaves senior Labour colleague 'astonished' with call for quota on immigrants

• Lee Glendinning
• guardian.co.uk,
• Saturday October 18 2008 11.15 BST

The number of migrants coming into the UK must be curbed and subject to strict limitations because of the economic crisis, according to the immigration minister Phil Woolas


Very interesting that these unknown "politicians" have suddenly emerged bravely from the depths shouting the odds in conjunction with the more interesting departure of "Blair"

Without doubt, this person who dared stand up and open his mouth on such a closed subject would have been branded with a hot iron (you know the word) and dispatched to oblivion, if Blair was seated in the chair of corruption and all things politically correct with his mentors Vaz and Cherie.

Italians welcome army on streets as anti-gipsy sentiment sweeps country

By Nick Meo in Rom
Last Updated: 11:28PM BST 09 Aug 2008 “Telegraph”

When soldiers arrived with submachine guns to fight crime last week outside Rome's Saxa Rubra metro station, residents of the quiet commuter suburb applauded and shouted "bravo".

Judging from the mood in the suburbs, the 3,000 soldiers deployed by Silvio Berlusconi have won the hearts and minds of the commuting classes "

It's great to see the army here," Luigi Cabras, 60, a civil servant, said with enthusiasm. "There used to be lots of petty stealing, but it's much better now. And the gipsies who were camped around here have gone, thank God."

The station is crime-plagued; a littering problem, pickpocketing, and car park break-ins, all blamed on gipsies from the squalid camp which used to be next to the station until bulldozers moved in a fortnight ago. But everybody knows why combat veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq have been deployed, the first time the army has been on the streets of Italy since anti-Mafia operations in the 1990s. Mr Cabras gestured towards a nearby field and shook his head sadly.

"Before things change, you have to have a dead body," he said. What he pointed at was the spot where an admiral's wife was raped and beaten to death in November, in one of Rome's most shocking murders for years.
Giovanna Reggiani, 47, a housewife and religious education teacher, was walking back to her car along a badly-lit road when she was attacked and murdered by an illegal immigrant from Romania.
The incident provoked a nationwide backlash against Italy's 150,000-strong gipsy community, which has seen them portrayed as one of the biggest threats to the Eternal City since the Barbarian invasions.
Gipsies, also known as Roma, have been in Italy for centuries, ever since their ancestors arrived as metalworkers and merchants from India. Many live in houses rather than itinerant camps and have intermarried with Italians, sending their children to school and integrating into society. But over the past decade, their numbers have almost doubled as poorer, uneducated gipsies arrived from Eastern Europe, some fleeing Balkan wars, others simply in search of a better life, creating additional strains with a host community that has never entirely accepted them. Saxa Rubra's white-collar workers are delighted to see the military fully-armed as they set off for work, without the fear of being raped, robbed.
Fabio Monaci, 25, who has been giving the soldiers discounts at his sandwich shop, feels much safer. "Crime is a real worry in Italy now," he said gravely as he poured an espresso. "But it won't be so bad if we get into a new era of discipline."
That is exactly what is promised by new prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, and Northern League allies on a wave of fear and perception of the problem about crime. Sending 3,000 troops to guard railway stations and tourist spots has been Mr Berlusconi's boldest move yet, and judging from the mood in the suburbs, the soldiers have won the hearts and minds of the commuting classes, after the murder of Mrs Reggiani, most Italians are pleased to see them. The killing was particularly shocking for Romans because their city is considered relatively safe by the standards of other European centres – there is nothing comparable to London's current knife crime epidemic, for example.
Mr Berlusconi declared a "Roma emergency", produced a disputed dossier of alleged immigrant muggings, robberies and murders, and promised to dismantle illegal gipsy camps. So far 700 have been identified. On the streets of northern Rome there are no reservations regarding the Government coming to terms with reality "All our problems come from immigrants getting drunk, smashing windows and stealing," said Anna Maria Mercure, who at 80 is old enough to remember an earlier era of Italian discipline. "Mussolini had his positive side. The streets were safe in his day." We need another man …..Berlusconi”.
The residents of the Rome suburb of Centocelle, a pleasant, tree-lined district of modest apartment blocks, finally lost patience last week with the gipsies in a local camp called Casalina 900, a miniature shanty town where rats and naked children run amid piles of half-burnt rubbish and beer bottles. These, gipsies who left the Balkans, have coexisted uncomfortably with their Italian neighbours for more than a decade, after arriving uninvited, unwanted and unwashed
This nervous, apprehensive, explosive, situation erupted last week when the migrants burnt old tyres instead of taking them to the dump, creating clouds of acrid black smoke. In the current political climate, it became the catalyst for a riot, with Centocelle's residents staging a demonstration in the middle of a major highway.
"I would kill them all," said Virginia Cristell, a mother in her 40s. " send them back from where they came, they are dirty and there are endless problems with burglary and thieving”. Soon her wish will come partly true. Rome's new Right-wing mayor, Gianni Alemanno, promised if they gave up their road protest he would get rid of the camp.
For these creatures of Casalino 900, the bulldozers will be another of life's frequent disasters. Afterwards they will scavenge what possessions they can and move off to some other patch of unoccupied land, hopefully in Bulgaria or Romania whose governments are accustomed to dealing with these people. The camp has been sealed off by police, a relief to civilized human beings. ************************************************************

Hundreds of troops on the streets as Italy tackles its crime wave

By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 10:29 PM on 04th August 2008


Silvio Berlusconi yesterday ordered hundreds of troops on to the streets of Italy to help the police fight crime.
The six-month deployment, which will soon rise to 3,000, is the most visible initiative so far in a law-and-order campaign by the prime minister. He was re-elected in April on a pledge to make the country safer and to tackle illegal immigration.
However, the unorthodox use of the armed forces by the conservative leader has been dismissed as merely a symbolic gesture ??

The court also fined Lee 110 billion won ($109 million), more than double the amount of taxes he evaded, but cleared him of charges of breach of trust and illegal issuance of bonds aimed at transferring wealth to his children. His jail sentence was suspended for five years.
Analysts and experts had expected Lee to escape prolonged jail time because judges have often been lenient to South Korean corporate leaders convicted of white collar crimes on the basis that putting them behind bars could hurt business.

Panned by reviewer, then told to go bankrupt

By Amol RajanTuesday, 15 July 2008 Ind;

Keith Burstein intended to take his case against the Evening Standard to European courts.
The British composer was told to go bankrupt yesterday after he unsuccessfully tried to sue the London Evening Standard for libel.
Keith Burstein ran up legal costs of £67,000 defending a test-case libel action against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Standard, over a critical review of one of his operas.
The High Court initially ruled that the case should go before a jury but that was overturned by the Appeal Court.
That court's ruling was widely interpreted as a landmark decision in respect of the right of journalists to write scornful reviews of rubbish.

MPs to spend £6m more from the taxpayer on plush new offices in their constituencies

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 9:26 PM on 30th June 2008

Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money will be spent improving the constituency offices of MPs as part of a shake-up of their expenses. A Commons committee chaired by Speaker Michael Martin is to hand out around £6million for renovation projects after complaints that MPs cannot afford to pay for decent offices out of their current expenses. But far from ensuring MPs search for the best deal possible, the committee will also insist offices are based in large 'houses of character', with 'best quality fittings throughout'. The initial ideas of having offices for these obviously hard up, hard working people in Nissan huts in Green park was discounted , regardless of it's proximity to the House of Commons.

Tories claim Brown 'fixed' expenses vote

Saturday, 5 July 2008 Independent.

Jacqui Smith was among those who voted against the reform of MPs' allowances Gordon Brown said he was disappointed with 33 of his own ministers, including Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, for voting to continue with the "John Lewis List" of MPs' allowances for furnishing their second homes.

*************************************************************************************************************

There is a buzz going about that Gordon Brown, the incumbent, unelected prime minister of England intends giving to his Scottish relatives £2 Billion, supposedly in the form of two "aircraft carriers" which supposedly will be built in Scotland. Reality is that he is stealing far more from the English than his mentor Anthony Blair could ever have imagined and ever did. Really, Gordon has turned out breathtaking for his sheer audacity, panache and ability at financial manipulation.

For Gordon, revenge is extremely sweet……Two Billion…..

No keel will ever be laid for this project.

There will be no raised eyebrows at the number of Eastern European ladies laid with a trifling part of this money . Start with Lembit Opik. M.P. and his lust for these creatures.

Scandal of LDA's missing millions

Katharine Barney, Evening

Standard16.07.08

Tens of millions

f pounds of public money were squandered by Ken Livingstone's development agency, a report says today.
"The board failed to ensure the LDA worked effectively. Instead it seemed to have adopted the notion that in many ways the LDA was there to serve as the Mayor's chequebook and that chequebook has been used to write some rather interesting pay-offs to people who have left the LDA.
Ms Wheatcroft also cited "unusual" spending when giving board member Yvonne Thompson her £17,000 salary for 15 months despite standing down.
Ms Thompson, who once accompanied Mr Jasper to New York on an LDA business trip, quit last year after allegations were made that the African Caribbean Business Network - of which she was president - received funding for projects which it did not deliver.
Another executive, Tony Winterbottom, got a year's sabbatical followed by a £75,000 pay-off and £160,000 into a pension fund and was then given another £20,000 job. The report also highlights:
• A £30,000 project to research London's weather trends in a bid to rival the Met Office.
• A £456,633 contract for street improvements which was not let competitively.
• A lack of checks on groups being awarded cash, with £36,900 given to the European Federation of Black Women Business Owners despite the company being dormant most of the time.

COMMENTARY:

'Egotistical, ambitious, sleazy ... The perfect candidate for a peerage'

By James Chapman
Last updated at 1:20 AM on 03rd July 2008 Daily Mail.

Self-regard is not a quality generally in short supply in the world of Westminster politicians. Yet Keith Vaz's ego has the capacity to take even many of his Labour colleagues by surprise. He once described himself as 'a leading member, if not the leading member, of the Muslim community in this country'.

The Face Of England. 21^st Century "Europe Minister" Keith Vaz

pictured leaving the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London yesterday Over the last 20 years, he has veered from one extreme of his party to the other - moving from the hard-left Campaign Group of MPs to become one of Tony Blair's most unctuous New Labour supporters. But consistency, alas, has never been Keith Vaz's strongest point. Two years after being elected in Leicester East in 1987, he marched publicly with Muslim constituents who wanted Salman Rushdie's head over his Satanic Verses book. It later emerged that at the same time, he was telephoning the author to offer his private support. Once an arch Eurosceptic, he became such a strong pro-European that as Europe Minister, he threatened to hound Eurosceptics out of the Labour Party. In one leaked piece of correspondence, he was said to have written: 'We know who you Eurosceptics are and we're coming to get you in your constituencies.' Born in 1956 in Aden, he is a Goanese Catholic christened Nigel Keith Anthony Standish Vaz. His father was the correspondent in Aden for the Times of India. Vaz, pictured with Shilpa Shetty, once described himself as 'a leading member, if not the leading member, of the Asian community in this country' He was selected as Labour's candidate in Leicester East for the 1987 election - possibly in part thanks to his outspoken support for hugely controversial 'black sections' in the Labour Party. These were to be clubs closed to white party members and were designed to draw in disaffected ethnic minorities to Labour.

Vaz pictured at a reception in honour of Lord Irvine, who once described him as 'the most incredible networker I have ever met' Mr Vaz's stance is thought to have helped win him support in Leicester East, a constituency with 16,000 Muslim workers. But Mr Vaz's supporters may have been disappointed when, on entering Parliament, he reversed his support for 'black sections'.

Appointed Europe Minister in 1999, allegations of sleaze and chicanery began to emerge soon afterwards. The next year, the Parliamentary standards watchdog was called in to investigate allegations of undisclosed payments to Mr Vaz from businessmen in his constituency He was cleared of nine of the 28 allegations of financial manipulation -accused of blocking investigation-into 18 and censured for one - failure to register payments of £4,500 from a solicitor he went on to recommend for a peerage. After collapsing during a TV interview he was dropped by Mr Blair from the Government in 2001.Ill health was officially the reason given, though Mr Blair was said to believe that his continued presence in the Government was an embarrassment. And in 2002, another inquiry into whether a company connected to Mr Vaz had taken money from the billionaire Indian Hinduja brothers came to a more damning verdict. It concluded he had 'committed serious breaches of the code of conduct and a contempt of the House' and recommended that he be suspended from the Commons for a month. Yet even this humiliation was not enough to keep Mr Vaz down. After the 2005 General election he slowly worked his way back - being appointed head of an Muslim minority task force by Mr Blair in 2006. Controversially, he won the prestigious chairmanship of the home affairs select committee in 2007, replacing the universally respected John Denham. Critics say he has used the post for grandstanding and showboating. Only this week, he was criticized by commentators for inviting Cherie Blair for a high-profile appearance before his committee to discuss policing and knife crime, despite her limited expertise on the subject. Even before the latest controversy, MPs suspect that his ambitions still run deep. 'The rumor running around Labour MPs was that he would be offered a knighthood for his vote on 42 days,' said one MP who knows him. 'I think he wants to be a knight. He sees that it's unlikely he will ever be a minister again and he would like to be a peer of the realm. Whether after yesterday's disclosure such a dream is possible now seems doubtful.

The Big Question: Why is tension rising in Turkey, and is the country turning Islamist?

"This country to so pro-Muslim it is giving succour to the extremists who will destroy us ultimately"

…………. Melanie Phillips...Last updated at 12:44 AM on 08th July 2008.D.M.

"But Islamism will be repulsed only if Britain once again regains the confidence of its own culture, heritage and traditions. And these are based on Christianity which is in steep decline, most Protestant churches have been split into apartments at a million pounds a piece.. interesting to know the going price of a mosque ,when Islam too starts to crumble under the molten mass of morons. ……….Which is a inevitability .

Ms Blears's lamentable comment graphically illustrates the problem. While the ordinary people of Britain are increasingly aghast at the way their country is being transformed by Islamism, the political, judicial, security and intellectual left wing elites are busy denying the nature of the danger and making it far, far worse through a combination of extreme ignorance, arrogance and sheer funk, or a conspiracy which is yet to be revealed.

The Islamists will launched their attack from within against the West because they perceive correctly it is so weak, grasping and confused it does not possess the wherewithal. strength and interest to defend itself. When it came to dealing with the English, the Islamic strategy has been faultless, using the confusion, greed, and multiculturalism ethos within England as a weapon against itself… not very much else
