Cameron announces 26 new Tory peers in dissolution honours

"David Cameron is facing accusations of "cronyism" after handing 26 peerages to former Tory ministers and aides"

[---]

"The list includes ex-Tory leader William Hague and Mr Cameron's Downing Street "gatekeeper" Kate Fall.

The Lib Dems get 11 peers, with eight for Labour, making a total of 45 new Lords members, swelling the total size of the Upper House to 826.

The SNP branded it "a sorry list of rejected politicians, cronies and hangers-on with big chequebooks"."

Good!!!

Anjem Choudary faces UK terrorism charges over Islamic State

The once great Britain has found greatness again!!!

"He and another man Mohammed Rahman, indicated they would plead not guilty.

Anjem Choudary was remanded in custody until 28 August.

Both men have each been charged with one offence under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000, alleged to have taken place between 29 June 2014 and 6 March this year.

The BBC's Simon Jones, reporting from outside the court, said that when asked by the judge to give an indication of how he would be pleading Choudary said: "Cameron and the police are guilty."
The judge replied to say he took that to mean he would be pleading not guilty.

Mr Choudary 48, was described in court as a "high-profile figure" in the media and on social media."

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmmm

I'm down with this. I don't want Chucky-Pooh either.

Camilla shouldn't be Queen, say public: And four in ten say Charles should step aside and let William be king

The Once Great Britan...

...is no more:

Muslim group with links to extremists boasts of influencing election

The new requirement will create the first accurate picture of the extent of Islamophobic hate crimes in Britain.

Charities say there has been a steady rise of anti-Muslim hate crimes since 9/11.

Attacks on Muslims will become specific hate crime, say Tories in bid to establish full extent of Islamophobia in Britain

Gee. Do you think there might be a good reason for the attacks on Muslims? Who, among them (Muslims), has done anything to tame the radicals in their midst?

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

...rolling right along:



I may have to start calling it Great Britain again, instead of The Once Great Britain. We'll see.

What Took You So...

...long:

Extremism in Britain: Now the crackdown is launched Ministers are planning a raft of new measures to help stem the tide of Islamic extremism and radicalisation

"A leaked draft of the Home Office’s new counter-extremism strategy, seen by The Telegraph, targets Sharia courts and calls for a ban on radicals working unsupervised with children over fears the young could be brainwashed.

Other measures include a requirement that staff at job centres identify vulnerable claimants who may become targets for radicalisation, after public outrage at people who hate Britain being able to live off the state.

There will also be an introduction of penalties in the benefits system to make people learn English to improve their integration into British society.

The rules on granting citizenship will also be tightened to ensure new residents embrace “British values”."

Cameron considers ban on UK jihadists returning home

The Once Great Britain...

...is dusting itself off and starting to stand up. At last!

"An earthquake” is how the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) described what happened Thursday May 22 when all Britain voted to elect its share of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and various parts of the country voted to elect local councils.

While the results of the Euro Elections were not announced until Sunday to wait for the results of the whole European Union, where some countries voted later, the local election results were known immediately, and were pretty much as Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader, described them: an earthquake."

[---]

"But it was last night, at the European Elections, that UKIP got a real triumph. Not only did it top the polls with more votes than all other parties for the first time in its history, but its victory also marked the first time in which a nationally-held election has not been won by either the Conservative Party or the Labour Party since 1906."

[---]

"UKIP went from two to an astonishing 163 councillors, turning from a fringe, tiny party into a serious contender for government.

But it was last night, at the European Elections, that UKIP got a real triumph. Not only did it top the polls with more votes than all other parties for the first time in its history, but its victory also marked the first time in which a nationally-held election has not been won by either the Conservative Party or the Labour Party since 1906."

[---]

"There was a time when a vote for UKIP was considered wasted, but it turned out to be instrumental in putting pressure on the Tories on the issue of leaving the European Union. There will be a time when voting for Liberty GB will put pressure on UKIP on the issue of the threat of Britain’s Islamization, on which Farage’s party has so far been persistently silent."(Emphasis mine)

The Once Great Britain Has A Hickup

Tensions have emerged in the British government over David Cameron’s decision to order an inquiry into Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, to see if it should be classified as a terrorist organisation.

Well, duh!

Very, Very Interesting!
