WOW! GLOBAL WARMING DEFENSE SWAYS BRITISH JURY AND ECO-TERRORISTS WALK FREE

Thousands of dollars of property damage and these people walk free? The British people will exonerate these people while allowing Muslims to chase their police officers out of their neighborhoods and impose sharia law? I'm sorry England. You have ceased to exist.

The threat of global warming is so great that campaigners were justified in causing more than £35,000 worth of damage to a coal-fired power station, a jury decided yesterday. In a verdict that will have shocked ministers and energy companies the jury at Maidstone Crown Court cleared six Greenpeace activists of criminal damage.

Jurors accepted defence arguments that the six had a "lawful excuse" to damage property at Kingsnorth power station in Kent to prevent even greater damage caused by climate change. The defence of "lawful excuse" under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 allows damage to be caused to property to prevent even greater damage – such as breaking down the door of a burning house to tackle a fire.

The not-guilty verdict, delivered after two days and greeted with cheers in the courtroom, raises the stakes for the most pressing issue on Britain's green agenda and could encourage further direct action.

TOP UK JUDGE: SHARIA LAW SHOULD BE USED IN BRITAIN

Damn! The mother country has given up without even putting up a fight.

The most senior judge in England yesterday gave his blessing to the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.

He declared: 'Those entering into a contractual agreement can agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.'

This funny wig wearing fella needs to look a little closer at what "that law" is all about.

SOME PASTY WHITE ENGLISH GUY WETS HIS PANTS FOR OBAMA

Look at this guy slobbering all over himself with white guilt. Yeah. I wouldn't put my name on the editorial either if I were this damn deluded.

"Mr Obama is not weighed down by the baggage of what Americans call the 'Culture Wars'. He is too young to have either served or dodged service in Vietnam, for example.

That distinction does not readily translate to British politics, but the potential appeal of a candidate who transcends social and party political divisions does.

Britain is sometimes caricatured as a political annexe of the US. That is most unfair. But our party leaders have traditionally looked across the Atlantic for inspiration. So one recent opinion poll won't have escaped their notice. It showed that, if Britons had a vote in the American election, a substantial majority would choose Barack Obama."

"Transcends social and party political divisions"? WTF? He didn't even garner more popular votes than his primary opponent. The only thing we know about his past is that he spent the last 20 years worshiping under a racist pastor, was friends with an angry wigger, had his campaign jump started by domestic terrorists, and has a wife who is only proud of her country when her husband is promoted politically. Sure Britain, follow America's example and elect a leader of such questionable associations and with zero accomplishments. Do it. It will give America someone to hang with in the soup line.

BRITISH PREACHERS THREATENED WITH HATE CRIME CHARGES FOR HANDING OUT GOSPEL LEAFLETS TO MUSLIMS

Bye Britain...Sad to see you go.

A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.

The evangelists say they were threatened with arrest for committing a "hate crime" and were told they risked being beaten up if they returned. The incident will fuel fears that "no-go areas" for Christians are emerging in British towns and cities, as the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, claimed in The Sunday Telegraph this year.

Mr Abraham said: "I couldn't believe this was happening in Britain. The Bishop of Rochester was criticised by the Church of England recently when he said there were no-go areas in Britain but he was right; there are certainly no-go areas for Christians who want to share the gospel."

I guess it's a good thing they weren't handing out coupons for bacon.

MUSLIM MAN THREATENS SUIT OVER TRANSSEXUAL MAN

I hate it when Muslims and transsexuals fight. I never know who to root for.

For the past 12 months, she had proudly taken to the road as part of an all-female driving school. But Emma Sherdley is not exactly all woman. Until a few years ago she was a married father-of-two called Andrew. She is, though, in the middle of treatment to change gender and has the legal paperwork to prove it. But that wasn't enough to satisfy one client who claimed he had been shortchanged when he booked a female instructor to teach his wife how to drive.

He phoned the Laugh 'n' Pass driving school threatening to sue after Miss Sherdley, 42, turned up for the lesson. 'You have sent me a man. Send me a proper female. How dare you send a man with a deep voice,' he told Joanne Dixon, who runs the school in West Yorkshire. The man, a Muslim from the Meadowhall district of Sheffield who has not been named, claimed the company deliberately sent a man disguised as a woman.

His wife had apparently cut their two-hour lesson short after an hour, claiming she had to go home to breastfeed her baby.

MUSLIM COUNCIL OF BRITAIN'S "AWARENESS CAMPAIGN" FAILS: LET US COUNT THE REASONS

Today, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) expressed that it's "Awareness Campaign" had failed. This in the wake of the ouster of London Mayor Ken Livingstone in favor of Boris Johnson.

UK’s largest Muslim organisation: The Muslim Council of Britain has expressed concern over the success of far right candidate of the British National Party in the Thursday’s election of London Assembly and thought its awareness campaign did not yield desired result.

Well let me help these fellas and point out a few things that did not help their efforts:

MCB calls for all children to be taught in Taliban-style conditions.

MCB calls for limiting certain school activities during Ramadan, including science lessons dealing with sex, parents’ evenings, exams and immunisation programmes.

MCB demands that schools should ensure contact sports, including football and basketball, “are always in single-gender groups”.

MCB demands that school trips be made single-sex “to encourage greater participation from Muslim pupils”.

MCB requests for Arabic language classes for Muslim pupils, and calls that the Koran be recited in music classes.

And while the MCB insists that all British children should learn about Islam, it wants Muslims to have the right to withdraw their children from RE lessons dealing with Christianity and other faiths.

And what this guy says:


Or maybe it's the MCB's condoning of suicide bombings and its terrorists ties. Or the MCB's deliberate denial of muslim extremism in Britain. Or perhaps it was the MCB's characterization of Holocaust Memorial Day as "too exclusive".

And beyond the actions of MCB's actions, are the actions of British Muslims themselves. Muslims in Britain are segregating themselves from society at an increasing rate. British Muslims are demanding the right to censor British media. Young Muslims in the UK are demanding sharia law. Muslims in the UK are justifying terrorism and demanding police protection in the same breath. Muslims in the UK have demanded the execution of the Pope, their own personal open showers, and have stood in the streets of London demanding the nuclear destruction of Denmark.

Of course, the reasons for the MCB's "Awareness Campaign" failing are virtually endless. Frankly, I just got tired of typing. Feel free to submit your own reasons in the comments.

VOICES FROM THE BLOGOSPHERE: THE MOTHER COUNTRY LOSES OUR ESTEEM

The Big Feed is proud to present this article from the esteemed Baron Bodissey who writes for the blog, Gates of Vienna.

The Mother Country Loses Our Esteem
by Baron Bodissey

Two generations ago, when I was in my early teens, the general attitude of Americans towards Great Britain was summed up by Roger Miller in his classic pop tune, “England Swings”:

Now, if you huff and puff and you fin’lly save enough
Money up to take your family on a trip across the sea
Take a tip before you take your trip
Let me tell you where to go
Go to England, oh

England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children

That was the same England that our family moved to, and even though it wasn’t the rosy-cheeked picture painted by Mr. Miller, it was still a cultural entity that was recognizable to us as England, albeit in its post-war post-empire incarnation.

To Americans, England was the Mother Country, even for those of us whose ancestors came from somewhere else. It was the ultimate source of our American values, and although we had fallen out with George III a while back, we still recognized Britain as being like us in essential ways. We were willing to overlook their snobbishness and condescension towards us colonials, and the bad food, and the appalling weather, because England was… well, England.

Alfred the Great. 1066 and all that. Chaucer. The Magna Carta. Shakespeare. Sir Isaac Newton. Queen Victoria. The sun never sets on it.

Our eccentric elder brother, that nook-shotten Isle of Albion.

But not any more. According to Investor’s Business Daily, Americans are revising their opinion of the Mother Country based on its recent behavior:

Why U.S. View Of Britain Is Tanking

Public Opinion: Most global surveys on image spotlight negative views of the U.S. But a new poll of U.S. perceptions of Britain shows a plunge. Since it’s the U.K.’s turn under this microscope, we’ll venture some reasons.

First, it’s no pleasure to see U.S. perceptions fall so precipitously for our oldest and closest ally — the one with whom we went through two World Wars and the Cold War, and in each simultaneously elected great leaders who rose to the occasion.

But from a BBC World Service poll of 1,000 Americans, it’s clear U.S. views of Britain have fallen sharply. The BBC said “positive views” of Britain stand now at 45%, down from 67% a year ago. Those holding negative views are at 42%, up from 18%.

What happened? The poll gives no reason for the big shift, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to gauge at least some possibilities:

First, it’s clear Britain is no longer the ally it once was. In the great war on terror, its leaders are going wobbly, despite the valor of British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Britain’s weakening commitment signals an unreliable partner, which whatever the rationale, isn’t admirable.

[…]

And under direct fire, some British forces looked downright soggy. When an Iranian National Guard boat brazenly took British sailors hostage in 2007, the U.K. military leadership sought to free them at any cost, including national honor.

- - - - - - - - -

The released seamen disgraced themselves further by whining about iPods, praising their captors when they were let go and then accepting Iranian swag bags on the way home. The British public completed the sorry picture by making a tabloid spectacle of it.

Although some of these bad moves were eventually halted, the fact that they happened at all signaled a military gone soft.

That brings up a second repellent trend — a culture gone so soft it won’t defend itself. Several events happened to show it.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, who leads the Church of England, said Britons will eventually accept some aspects of Muslim Shariah law — the same rules that cut off hands for stealing, heads for blasphemy, and force women behind the veil.

As practiced, it’s the very system responsible for the stagnation and poverty of Arabic and Muslim cultures over a thousand years — which happens to be why many Muslims flee to Britain in the first place. If the Archbishop won’t stand up for British values, who will?

It’s a good question: Who will?

Are the imams and the BNP our only choices?

The U.S. is constantly bombarded with news stories of Piglet mugs being banned to avoid offending Muslims, U.K. flags being taken down in prisons because their crosses offend Muslims, and mosque Minarets rising among the historically dreaming spires of Oxford.

All these are strikes against some of the strongest and most beloved symbols of Britain. If a culture doesn’t want to defend itself, no one else will. But certainly, no one has to admire it.

Then there’s the lack of seriousness about terrorism. Against the Orwellian quality of British law enforcement, such as ubiquitous street cameras, there’s been remarkable inefficiency in fighting terrorism — and Britain has been hit by three terror strikes as a result.

And then there’s that old favorite, Yank-hatred, which — unlike Pak-hatred or Arab-hatred — is not yet considered “racism”:

Despite its role as ally, British officialdom is loaded with anti-Americanism, which frequently spills over to the public. Everyone from Prince Andrew to local pop stars feels it’s OK to make anti-American statements. The fact that Mark Malloch Brown, who has expressed open contempt for Americans, can reach a high advisory post in the government, or that crazy leftists like Ken Livingstone or George Galloway can even be elected, dampens our affection, too.

The editorial points out that the negative attitude towards the Brits held by Americans has arisen in part because of our historical affinity for the island. A falling-out between brothers is more rancorous than an argument with a mere acquaintance.

The whole thing could turn around instantly at the first sign of spinal regeneration on the part of the British. But every week brings another collection of bizarre and disheartening news stories about dhimmitude and institutional cowardice in the United Kingdom.

We’re all eager to see the situation change.
