Do you want real opposition in the Dail? If so then Pat Talbot is the honest choice for Dublin Central.

It's your future. It's the future of your children and your grandchildren you are voting for when you vote for Pat Talbot. It's time to present some real opposition to the Dail. Ireland is not ours to give away to the EU or to mass immigration. Pat Talbot knows this. He fully understands that Ireland is your home and not just a cheap labour, island industrial estate.

Has mass immigration sheltered us from the harsh economic climate we now face? Ask the Irish people who are unemployed and not the ruling elite who are well insulated from the economic crises. Basic arithmetic will tell you that we should not be allowing immigration into Ireland when our economy is rapidly contracting. Our European "partners" will call this protectionism, but they care little about the cost to the state of their unemployed citizens. In reality we are helping their economies recover through exporting childrens allowance and remittances. We are not allowed to secure good jobs for highly skilled professionals who lost their jobs at SR Technics, yet the French are allowed to prop up their car industry and nothing is said. We are allowed to pay for a car scrappage scheme which aids the economies of other countries, but Ford jobs are still exported.

"Our capacity to continue or to move beyond the 10% [foreign born population] figure, I would have grave doubts about." Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern . Well it has gone well beyond this figure and they still keep coming. Our glorious leader Brian Cowan has pledged to take Guantanimo detainees into the state with little regard to the wishes or safety of you. " Sure we'll keep an eye on them".

The main parties are trying to bully you into voting yes to Lisbon. They want you to surrender our sovereignty and immigration powers. We have a watertight constitution which prevents them from riding roughshod over us. Do not squander it, and vote NO. Pat Talbot will defend our constitution and sovereignty in the Dail Eireann. Never before since the foundation of the state have we seen such a critical time in politics.



It's YOUR future, it's MY future, but more importantly it the legacy we leave behind for future generations that we must safeguard. Vote No1 Pat Talbot and he will defend the future of Irish sovereignty and self determination. The others won't, and they make no secret of it.

My take on the Pamela Izevbekhai story

I've been called a racist for saying Pamela is a scammer, so here's my take on it. It would help if you read the double talking nonsense on letthemstay.org first in order to put things into perspective.

Pamela said that they were well off in Nigeria. She had a highly paid job and Tony was a successful businessman in the IT industry. He was so successful that he visited the UK regularly on business trips, hence the multiple entry visa. RAR and letthemstay.org played up the fact that they were the elite of Nigerian society in order to convince people that they were not economic migrants, and were giving up a great deal to move to Ireland. I am not convinced by this. I think they are bog standard middle class Nigerians, which do not have as good a lifestyle as middle class Irish people. If you look at the interviews with family members you can see that they are not wealthy by where they live. Therefore they could possibly be economic migrants. Also Pamela said she lived in a flat. There was no security. If they were high flyers then they should have lived in a security estate and their kids could have played in the garden.

The basis of her claim was the fact that she had a daughter die due to FGM. There is absolutely no evidence that this daughter existed. All she had was a birth cert, a death cert and ONE photo of a baby. Pamela has admitted that they are fake, yet the bleeding hearts say the doctor is telling lies. Then they tell us he is corrupt because he wanted money to be interviewed by the media. Well why wouldn't he? I think that the doctor is an honourable man. He stayed in Nigeria to provide a valuable service to his community instead of being tempted by the big bucks in Ireland.

Go to letthemstay.org. All you will read are emotions. It's not hard to pick apart the story of a liar. You will read how common FGM is in Nigeria and accounts from "experts" about how common it is. It must be happening on every street corner if they are anything to go by. According to Pamela, even the villagers (I thought she was a city banker) will gang up and carry out the barbaric practice against the wishes of both parents. The police won't even do anything about it even though it is illegal (yeah right). But hey, how can the police stop this barbaric practice when it is so widespread? Fair enough you might think. They can't control such a widespread practice. Go to letthemstay.org and go to the column entitled 'Family left living in limbo as suspected 'economic tourists'. Read down the column and you will find this "Pamela is from a very different tribal culture and community in Nigeria than Tony, and she hadn't even heard of FGM before she gave birth to Elizabeth". OK, not only had she not heard of this very common practice, but she hadn't been told about what is a dangerous and commonly practiced tradition in Tony's family? It says on the website that 60% of Nigerians carry out this practice more lies. WOW Pamela, an intelligent banker had never heard of it. They mustn't talk to each other very much (although the heart wrenching column tells us how strong their love is). I had a school picked out for my kids months before they were born. I certainly would have told my wife about FGM if she were preganant and I wanted it practiced. I think letting her know about it would only have been fair. Pamela has a son in his late teens and the subject never came up whilst she was pregnant with him? OK. Was the practice not carried out on any of Tony's family members between dating Pamela and giving birth to Elizabeth?

Then we have the big scary army officer who is Tony's father. OK. He has so much power and is a force to be reckoned with. Considering how much embarassment he has caused the government in Nigeria you would think he would be pulled in and have some strong words directed at him. I smell more bull with this one.

Then they moved to an apartment and the in-laws found them. A fight ensued and Tony has the scars on his face to prove it. Oh speaking of scars. Letthemstay.org made mention of Tony's tribe. Speaking of tribes. Many tribes in Africa carry out facial scarring. They think it looks good. I have seen facial scarring in Africa. It's more common than FGM. Women and men scar their faces. Google 'African facial scarring'. Some scarification can involve patterns and some are just straight lines on the cheeks. Some scarification looks a mess. It can be just one straight scar on the cheek.

At letthemstay.org we hear an emotional account of how Pamela talks to her son Adrian who is in his late teens. She talks about how much she misses him and of how she asks him if he has a girlfriend. Tony and Pamela met, got married and had their first child Adrian according to their account of their lives. It now emerges that Adrian is possibly Tony's son from a previous relationship. More lies.

We are now told that they have an attestation of Elizabeths death. It is apparently the Nigerian equivalent of a death cert. Now they don't have certificates of births, deaths and marriages in Nigeria? That being the case, how did they manage to obtain forged birth and death certs. Could you pass on a fake 9 euro note? The atteastaion is from a different doctor in a different hospital. This doctor says Elizabeth was referred to him by the original one who denies having any knowledge of Elizabeth. Why would a doctor refer a patient who has lost a large ammount of blood and probably is in shock without stabilising the condition?

There is only the account of Pamela regurgitated over and over at letthemstay.org. First we have the fake documents. Then we have the evil in-laws who have said nothing about the case. We haven't even had a photo of the in-laws from Pamela or Tony their son. The Garda investigated the case and reported their findings. Dermot Ahern acted on those findings and it's state racism according to RAR.

I don't think Pamela meant to let things go this far. I think she was scooped up by upstarts like RAR and various other NGO's and they ran like the devil with it. Pamela didn't break the law and run into hiding without help. It looks like Pamela will be deported. What have the dogooders who promoted themselves gained for Pamela? They have made such a big issue of the case of FGM and "state racism" that neither Ireland or Nigeria want her. They have coaxed this woman into embarassing all involved including people in Ireland who took her at her word. Some will still champion Pamela's cause, but I think that is only the few die hards who want to save face. It would be better for all involved it Pamela were repatriated tomorrow. Some will argue that she will now be in danger. Not through FGM, but from people who are unhappy with the nigerian people being portrayed as inhumane savages. All I have to say to the die hard save face brigade is this. You will really save face if you travel to Nigeria and live with Pamela and her family in order to protect them if you think they are in danger. After all you caused all this trouble.

The silent invasion.

The Irish government should listen to a real expert on migration and not Ronit Lentin. Certainly not Rosanna Flynn or Shaheed Satardien.

We thank Alessandra Buonfino for the attention she devotes to our work The Silent Invasion, even though she says that “this text would under normal circumstances not merit discussion”. In a way she is right, in the sense that a normal situation would have made the book redundant. Therefore, I assume she agrees that we do not live under “normal circumstances”.

For a review of Alberto Carosa and Guido Vignelli’s book L’invasione silenziosa / The Silent Invasion, see E. Christian Kopff, “When Immigration Becomes Migration”, in Chronicles (August 2002).

In her review Alessandra Buonfino levels so many unfounded accusations and incorrect statements, that it’s impossible to refute all of them in a brief reply: all the more so if we consider that we address the issue of immigration from different, perhaps even incompatible, angles.

But it is vital to clarify a preliminary point. We say very clearly at the start of our book that we oppose uncontrolled immigration, not immigration as such. Each state has the sovereign right to protect its borders and regulations, which must be respected, and allow entry only to foreign people of its own choice. There is no such thing as the unlimited right to immigration. Whenever immigrants illegally enter another country, they show a fundamentally disrespectful and anti-democratic attitude by imposing their un-requested presence, in much the same way as a stranger who breaks into a private house commits an offence. There are surely exceptions, for example refugees, but we must not forget that “the abuse does not remove the use”.

But only a tiny minority of those immigrants who flow into Italy each year would appear to be real refugees; the overwhelming majority are people who, on their own account, have simply decided to leave their countries and settle elsewhere for a better life. This is perfectly legitimate, but ought to be pursued by following the rules set by the host country, however complicated and time-consuming this may be. Dura lex, sed lex (the law is harsh, but it is the law), the Latin dictum goes. Moreover, “true charity starts at home” is a maxim that ought always to be borne in mind – especially since all countries’ (and Italy’s in particular) economic resources are limited.

We have been accused of having produced an “ideologically motivated” book. Nothing is farther from the truth. We may be accused of having stated the obvious, but there is nothing ideological in plain, good common sense. On the contrary, the opposite is true: those who are upholding the idea that uncontrolled immigration ends up benefiting the country which is enduring it, are themselves pursuing an ideological agenda which is based on a wishful thinking, a utopia. And we all too well know what human and material losses were produced, and are still produced, by certain utopias born of the 20th century!

However well-intentioned, the advocacy of uncontrolled immigration is also a contradiction in terms: how can an uncontrolled process produce a good outcome when this is normally and precisely the end result of something which is under control? Unless you are God (since only God can get good out of bad), the most likely result of any such uncontrolled process is chaos (at best), and all that goes with it.

So, for any debate on immigration to be fruitful, constructive and well-grounded, a prerequisite is agreement on a principle: that uncontrolled immigration is unacceptable. If you want to call this a ready-made answer, that is all right. But for the rest, we are surely open to discussion as to how truly legal and controlled immigration can best be put to good use.

We also stand accused of fearing the increasing influence of Islam through its immigrants. But why should we be blamed if we take seriously the words of Muslim leaders themselves? After all, this increasing influence has already started with petrodollars, which are not used to create jobs in the poor countries of North Africa and Middle East, but to build mosques and cultural centres in the (former) Christian (or non-Muslim) countries targeted by Islamic immigration – including Rome, the centre of Christianity.

If we say that the ambitious or aggrandising statements of Muslim spokespersons are disturbing, our concern is reprimanded as (at least) “exaggeration”, whereas these authors are highly unlikely to be ever criticised as arrogant or intolerant. (For an enlightening insight on the differences between western and ideological Islamic societies, see Caroline Cox and John Marks, The ‘West’, Islam and Islamism: Is ideological Islam compatible with liberal democracy? (Civitas, 2003).

Alessandra Buonfino aptly cites the case of Adel Smith, which sheds light on a mindset very far from a western one. To be more precise, Adel Smith was at the forefront of Muslims in Italy calling for the removal of a fresco from a Bologna cathedral which they deemed offensive to their prophet Mohammed. Evidently, they are disturbed by the very existence of any non-Muslim religious symbols. The underlying logic is the same as that of the Taliban in Afghanistan, who dynamited the gigantic Buddhas in Bamiyan.

The alarm in this regard was sounded by Corriere della Sera in a front-page editorial (11 September 2003) on “The Shadow of Al Qaeda among illegal immigrants”, which quoted intelligence reports cautioning about accords between “Islamic terrorism and trafficking of illegal immigrants”. The British prime minister Tony Blair (and I am by no means a Blairite, simply acknowledging the truth irrespective of its origin) echoed this concern in his speech on 5 March 2004 denouncing “fanatics who will stop at absolutely nothing to cause death and destruction on a mass scale”. What happened in Madrid is a sharp reminder of this danger, and a sufficient argument for tight control on immigration to be applied. Where is the “exaggeration”?

We have no objections to the remarkably balanced way the chairman of Migrationwatch UK, Andrew Green, addressed the dangers and risks posed by uncontrolled immigration (Telegraph online, 24 February 2004) – a view that makes good sense to us. Would you call him a racist – leaving aside the fact that immigrants cannot be categorised as a “race” – or a xenophobe? Certainly not, and neither am I (my wife is a Finn).

To sum up, curbing illegal immigration would both make life difficult for actual and potential terrorists and substantially curtail dangerous activities that illegal immigrants engage in. These include, as recently reported in the Corriere della Sera (29 February 2004) and Repubblica (17 March 2004), drug and human trafficking and so-called “petty” crimes such as credit card fraud. Again, there is nothing ideological in this – merely common sense. But if, after all this, you insist that borders be broken down and floodgates opened wide for everybody to come in – and ultimately for Koranic, sharia law to replace the Christian-based rule of law; well, that will be “not in our name”!

The theft of Irelands national resources.

I don't know much about offshore drilling agreements and the terms of such agreements. What I do know I will share with you.

From what I have gathered OPEC receive 80% of revenues for oil extracted from their territories. When we get to pisspot African dictatorships the figure drops to 60%. This is the case in Equatorial Guinea and it suits all involved. The government get to stick the money in an offshore bank and America gets cheap oil. The two main producers there are Exxonmobil and Marathon oil.

Equatorial Guinea's economy was in tatters until the discovery of oil. The first president murdered approximately 60,000 people which caused many to flee into exile. This caused a total collapse of the countries main industry which was cocoa farming. As a Spanish colony the country flourished as an exporter of cocoa up till the 1960's when the Spanish granted independance. By the time oil was discovered in the mid to late 1990's the country was in ruins. It beggars belief that a murdering butchering dictatorship in Africa can secure higher revenues than the Irish government.

What really gets me is that the Irish government are giving away our natural resources for nothing. Equatorial Guinea can secure 60% of its oil revenue and the Irish government basically gives ours away. The people of Africa never see the money fom oil revenues. Maybe we do have more in common with our Nigerian asylum seekers than I thought. We will see as much benefit from our oil as the people of Equitorial Guinea and Nigeria.

I was discussing the subject of Irelands oil with a friend who works in the offshore industry. He saw an agreement for drilling rights between Shell and the Nigerian government. Shell were to receive 10 dollars per barrel if the price was under 50 dollars per barrel, 15 if the price is above 50 dollars per barrel. This seems a fair agreement to me.

Now from latest reserve estimates at 10 billion barrels, the government should be shouting from the rooftops. Even if we were to get 60% of revenue from our resources we are rich. The public finances should be in great shape after a Summer of sky high oil prices.

So what will we gain from our oil? Will the government gain a fortune from the taxes of highly paid Irish offshore workers? I think not. That same friend of mine who told me about the Nigeria agreement was walking past a FAS office in Sligo one day. He saw a sign stating that offshore workers were required. He is well qualified and experienced in his field, so he thought he would go in for a chat. The guy in the office took his details and then got straight to the point. He said the purpose of the whole excercise was not to get Irish workers. The campaign was to show that there were no Irish workers suitably qualified in order to bring in cheaper foreign labour. It was all an excuse to make more money for those thieving our resources, and at the taxpayers expense. He did think it was strange that they were advertising offshore jobs in FAS windows. Offshore workers don't look in FAS windows for jobs.

Brazil has a strict military style of government, but at least the people of Brazil are having a boom in employment from the huge finds made by Petrobras, which is more than can be said for Ireland. Hugo Chavez nationalised the oil industry of Venezuela and his many projects to help his empoverished people have made him a hero. Where does that put the gangsters in the Dail in the league of corrupt, thieving and morally void governments?

This asylum nonsense has to end now.

OK we get many bleeding hearts going on about the poor asylum seekers and the hard luck stories that they peddle. The liberal left behave like everyone of them are going to be murdered the minute they are repatriated. Well that being the case I couldn't believe this little peach I found at the RTE news website. It is dated Thursday, 1 June 2000.

"Minister O'Donoghue said that from the start of the year to the end of April, 3,848 people have sought asylum in Ireland. He said this compares to the total of 7,724 asylum applications for all of last year. The largest number of asylum seekers come from Nigeria with 1,156 people, followed by Romania with 1,150. Other large numbers of seekers come from Algeria, Kosovo, Poland and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mr O'Donoghue also revealed that work is under way to establish readmission agreements with Poland and Nigeria. Ireland recently signed a similar agreement with Romania".
(http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0601/murder.html )

Now let me get this right. A large number of asylum applications came from Poland? Maybe I was on the planet ZOG that year, but I do not remember a war or persecution taking place in Poland. We have also had the poor Nigerians fleeing with nothing but the shirt on their backs. Fleeing murder squads, conflict, FGM, local customs or anything else that springs to mind. Lets not forget the war torn no mans land that is Romania. They must be absolute hellholes and the poor asylum seekers must be glad to reach our shores. Lets be honest the only time 99% of these people felt fear was when they stepped up to the immigration desk in Dublin.

In light of how lucky these people are for making it to Ireland in one piece, why the hell do we need readmission agreements? Especially for war torn Poland.

We all know the reason for this nonsense. Cheap foreign labour is the obvious reason, and make no mistake about it. Our displacement has been planned.

"Government steps up efforts to house asylum seekers As the Government steps up its efforts to find accommodation for asylum seekers, one convenient location where bed and board will be available soon is in Rosslare, where people arriving will be able, almost literally, to step from the ferry, or back of a lorry, into a hotel that was recently put up for sale. The Devereux could hardly be closer to the Ferryport".

http://images.google.no/images?um=1&hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=immigrant+in+ireland&spell=1

Almost literally step from the ferry into a hotel. Has the world gone insane? You expect these people to walk a few yards to the hotel? What are we feckin animals? Do we want them to think we are racist? They don't even have a red carpet or champagne and flowers in the rooms. How heartbreaking. I shouldn't joke about that, maybe they do. You'd never know in these crazy times.

If I were Taoiseach.

This post is not meant to be pretentious. You know the way you think, what would I do if I won the lottery? You imagine the first thing you would do. This blog is about my thoughts on changes I would like to implement if I were Taoiseach. It's just me brainstorming some ideas. OK it is tongue in cheek, but not far off the mark.

First off, Ireland is an independant sovereign state. The rest of the EU countries must respect this. They must respect the wishes of the Irish people.

Corruption and shitehawks. The government are all too busy looking after the interests of business. OK we must be friendly to investment obviously, but as far as I am concerned if business does not have a majority Irish workforce, whilst Irish workers are unemployed, they are of little use to us. We have the fiasco of the Atlantic Dawn and ministers lobbying Brussels to grant 3500 tons for the expansion of Ireland's fishing fleet, and it all goes to one man. I cannot say for sure, but I was told that the tonnage was worth approximately 32M Euro. Atlantic Dawn paid nothing. This money should have gone to the public purse. We have had roads planned around supermarkets and house extensions as gifts. We have the biggest troll of the lot, Harney and her trips to the off licence in a Casa cn235 aircraft operated by the Air Corps in a maritime search and fishery protection role. She was told to pay the costs of the trip, but an anonymous businessman stepped in and paid them for her. That didn't stop her outings with the Air Corps at the expense of the Irish taxpayer. She would get a new bill with interest added. Now onto the oil, it remains to be seen if we will benefit. Revised reserve estimates must be of benefit to the public accounts. However with Marathon involved I don't hold much hope for a massive boost to Irelands economy. Time will tell. Ten billion barrels of oil should be creating more noise. Why aren't the government playing down the recession with all the gas and oil resources at our disposal? I think you know the answer. Our politicians, once they get their seat in the Dail and become accustomed to all the trappings associated with it, forget that they are public servants. Instead the opposite opinion seems to form in their minds. They have a duty to all the citizens of Ireland. Irish citizens must be the first priority above all else, and the interests of one do not outweigh the other, unless for the common good of the Irish people. Corruption is treasonous. No more cushy cells or a la carte menus in the joy. And no more St Patrick's day trips for those who betray us. Real time with the hard nuts for you lot. Not a bad little runabout eh Mary?

I believe that the government are neglecting our young people. We have well off people who are in no doubt that they will go to university. Then we have the young people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds who have low aspirations. They may underachieve, turn to crime or drugs. Patriotism and pride in Ireland should be instilled in all our citizens. The youth should be taught our proud history and the responsibilities we have to our nation and community. Crime is unpatriotic and working for the common good is patriotic. As an example we could, found an organisation within the Army in which school kids aged 15 to start with would join, voluntarily. They could take part in physical activities like assault courses, orienteering and abseiling. You could take kids and get them involved in many activities which would broaden their horizons and give them confidence. Imagine a kid afraid to abseil down a ledge, imagine how he or she would feel after doing it two or three times. Just maybe that kid might think, 'I can do anything', maybe I will go to university. Kids from all socio-economic backgrounds could mix and realise they have more in common than they thought. They could help in the community and earn the right to participate in more adventurous activities. The health and fitness of our youth would benefit. Savings may trickle through to our health care system, lower crime and anti social behaviour. All kids regardless of weight or fitness levels could have an appropriate starting point. Anyone thinking Nazi youth, you are wrong. I say use the army because many of the facilities and personnel are there already, so it would be less costly. Politics would not be an issue. The more kids involved, the higher the chance of improving things. Send young offenders to boot camp instead of young offenders facilities. Build their character from scratch.

Education? A right not a privilege. Now, onto those kids deciding they want to go to University. Too many Irish students leave Ireland to take up a University place due to none being available at home. Foreign students take up many places due to the higher fees they pay, which Universities favour. In Japan you can see young people going to college at 10pm. We could be more flexible and provide lectures 24 hours per day. The facilities are already in place, all we would need is the staff. We could get the maximum benefit from our educational resources. We could rotate day/night classes. It could be made to work and would be accepted over time. Pilot schemes could be set up. This could provide a second chance to mature students. More young people could avail of our academic facilities. Some students may gasp at the thought, but many people work unsociable hours for their entire lives. Students would only have to study for a few years. Highly skilled and well educated citizens will help Ireland compete for investment. If we must bring back fees, third level education must not be side stepped because of finances. A loan based system similar to that of the UK could help. Graduates could pay for their education in easy installments once they are in the workplace. Third level education must be an option for all our young people, by whatever means necessary. Let's face it I've rolled out of the student union many a time at 3am.

Immigration. I think I have covered this one pretty well. If you are unskilled, your are surplus to requirements. We have enough unskilled workers. We should invite those with the skills that will benefit Ireland. You could only claim children's allowance for those resident in the state. We are not an ATM for other countries. Irish workers must not be disadvantaged and undercut. Bye bye eastern Europeans, it's a dog eat dog world. Brussels would give out for a bit, OH NO. Illegals. A clampdown on a massive scale is required. Massive fines for those employing illegal residents would be imposed. Airlines and ferries must photocopy documents of non EU nationals before they board a flight or ferry to Ireland. Passengers would be filmed disembarking and matched to the documents. Too many destroy documents after getting off a flight. They get to stay because immigration does not know where to send them. They must be turned around with their flight at the cost of the operator. The same should be agreed with NI entry points. We live on an island, let's use it. Asylum seekers must use asylum laws properly, and therefore would be turned around on the flight. Maybe a form filled before boarding flight, saying reason for visit would help legally. Too late just before landing. More controls and vigilance concerning student visas. Attendance records from reputable institutions must be submitted regularly.

I used to boast about how well we looked after pensioners. The medical cards must be available to them. At least means test with a high threshold. Major surgery and care for all but the wealthiest at the cost of the state.

Islam must be contained. No planning approval for mosques. There are too many already.

The state needs money? Up the VAT? No. Lets get more assets from criminals. The state needs to go to town on crime assets. If I had a say known criminals wouldn't be able to buy a feckin happy meal without proving where they got the dosh. OK a bit strong, but you get the point.

RTE would have to get with the real world and earn their own way. They would have to get their fingers out and and make TV shows that would sell. Do what all other businesses have to do , make sales. Sorry talentless over paid presenters, but we would like some fresh talent who don't overvalue their contribution, and tighter budgets would sort that out. In short licence fee would be phased out.

A united Ireland would be rigorously pursued.

Morally, free health care and medicines must be provided for all children. If we can't have that, what's the point. Put a more reasonable threshold on the medical cards for all. I would press ahead with the cervical cancer vaccine program for girls. Why should girls be sentenced to death due to inept, corrupt, shitehawks?

No to Lisbon.

NCCRI, Integrate Ireland and their ilk would have to exist solely on charitable contributions. Sure Ronit Lentin could write a few bullshit books and donate the proceeds. She may put her shekels where her mouth is.

A thorough investigation into the "Bertie Bowl" fiasco.

Give our people the means to improve their lives. If they still choose crime and antisocial behaviour, the needs of victims and not the rights of criminals must be catered for. As far as I am concerned we are supposed to be a nation working in unison and helping each other. They in principle should not be regarded as worthy of citizenship. Not everyone will agree and still choose crime. They step out of the system through their own choice. If they are out of the system of nation and brotherhood, their needs are last on the list. This goes for the worst crimes, rape, murder, terrorism, and drug trafficking. Slopping out and very basic facilities await. No point going to prison to rehabilitate, then play 'grand theft auto' for five years. No TVs, Pool tables, or Internet. They would have the tranquility required to ponder their wayward lives. I would rather look after the citizens.

Oil revenues must be pursued rigorously. Our future depends on it.

I would lobby the EU to put pressure on China to sort out the Darfur problem. Many African states need pressure put on them, this must be brought to the fore, and a tougher stance must be taken.

Abortion has been decided on, end of.

The economy? David McWilliams would be requested to put forward proposals. He knows his stuff, that's that.

Indigenous children would not be segregated from their own people at school. That disgusts me. That is not negative towards immigrants by the way. They'd be on their way home most of them anyway. The passport records of Nigerian kids who returned home with parents, would be wiped in a computer system crash. Shit happens Oh well LOL.

Ok TD's have piles of advisers, that is me shooting from the hip. You could go deeper and you could go on forever. Any additions or comments, be constructive. Constructive criticism is welcome, but remember I am an engineer not a politician or lawyer.


Oh yeah, last but not least, I'd wash my hair and go to the shitter to pick my nose!
