Review: Paul Nuttall’s Question Time Performance, 22 January 2015

Last night’s Question Time from Eastleigh featured UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall alongside Diane Abbott, Esther McVey, Tim Farran and Amol Rajan. Nuttall put in a strong performance, McVey looked OK, but her voice grated (what she said, was not particularly interesting). The body language was interesting, particularly that displayed towards Nuttall. When the camera allowed us to see them, Farran was almost invariably looking at him with a combination of contempt, condescension and defensiveness with his arms folded; McVey looked on with a hard stare, whilst Abbott displayed a greater array of emotions, ranging from smugly satisfied implicit concurrence during Nuttall’s first few remarks on the Chilcot Inquiry, changing to scowling whilst chewing on a particularly sour wasp for most of the rest of the time.


In response to the first question regarding the Sun’s ‘Page 3’, Nuttall quite rightly highlighted the strange focus of many feminists on women baring their breasts in the paper, whilst ignoring far more serious and damaging issues such as domestic violence, forced marriage and FGM on a mass scale. Nuttall stated:

Models who pose “earn good money, it’s their freedom of choice.” “I would have thought that the feminists of this country had more pressing issues such as the increase in domestic violence. Deal with that. Forced marriages, more than ever before. Female genital mutilation – they should be campaigning against that. There’s 40,000 girls in this country, who’ve been mutilated, yet we’ve now got the first court case, and it’s been illegal since the 1980s. It’s an absolute disgrace. These are the real issues that feminism should be tackling. Now look, with the Sun, I am a survivor of the Hillsborough Disaster. I made a choice not to buy the Sun newspaper. If you’re offended by Page 3, you can make that same choice as me: you don’t have to buy the Sun.”

Diane Abbott disagreed, stating that although “there’s nothing wrong with pictures of naked women; art galleries are full of them”, she objected to what she asserted to be the “increasing objectification of women” and the “pornification of the media and advertising.” In making this point, as well as referring to Clare Short [a parliamentary expenses fiddler] as a “great woman” who had “championed” the anti-Page 3 cause in Parliament. Like Nuttall, I would be rather more interested in knowing why Short had not championed the anti-forced marriage, anti-FGM and anti-domestic violence causes in so vigorous and high profile a fashion whilst an MP? As he stated:

“FGM has been illegal since the 1980s, you know, why hasn’t there been a big hoo-ha throughout the 1990s about what was going on, and why has it taken until 2015 to have the first court case and the first conviction? I mean it’s an absolute disgrace. What is going on here?”

The next question to be addressed by the panel was “Who benefits by delaying the publication of the Chilcot Report until after the General Election?”

Nuttall: “Well I think it’s very convenient for the mainstream political parties. Well, obviously not the Liberal Democrats because they voted against, as did Diane, but the mainstream political parties as a whole, that the Chilcot Report is released after May, because all it would do I suspect, if it was released before, would increase the distrust that the people have in the Establishment and the politicians, and I’m sure that the Labour Party in particular would suffer badly as a result of its publication.” Nuttall then made reference to a flying pig when Dimbleby said that Blair regretted the delay to its publication. Abbott could not repress an involuntary smirk. Nuttall continued:

“Look, the fact is, I suspect . . . well, I think they are being economical with the truth, as a politician would say. I don’t think they’re being honest [stony look from Esther McVey, Tim Farron looking contemptuous and defensive with his arms folded. Diane Abbott sitting with hands clasped, a satisfied smile on her face] I think the report will implicate a number of leading Labour politicians [Abbott’s facial expression changes. She’s not looking happy any longer], a number of Labour grandees. Indeed Ed Miliband voted four times against such an inquiry taking place. You know, that’s the Establishment protecting the Establishment. The Tories voted for this war. I’m guessing that leading establishment figures will also be culpable when the report is released. And let’s not forget, this is an Iraq War which cost the lives of 600,000 Iraqi civilians; 179 of our brave British boys and girls who went out in the armed forces never came home. Now, I just hope that the Establishment, are as concerned about the protection of civilians and our own armed forces as they are about protecting themselves.”

The next question illustrated the extent to which UKIP is setting the agenda for political debate, for it focused upon Nigel Farage’s comments that the NHS, as it is today, would be unaffordable in the future. Many commentators, and UKIP’s opponents in particular, have used this as an opportunity to attack UKIP, implying that it wishes to introduce a US model of private health insurance. Nuttall took the opportunity to – for the time being – lay this ghost to rest:

“Well look, I think that at some point in this century, with an ageing population; a growing population, drugs becoming more expensive, we may well have to have a conversation about how we fund healthcare in this country. We’re not at that point now. I want to make it perfectly clear UKIP is committed to ensuring that the NHS remains in public ownership, being funded and free at the point of delivery, but there are problems within the NHS, we know that.”

When questioned by Dimbleby as to how he could possibly know what would be in the UKIP manifesto when Tim Aker, who had formerly been responsible for its drafting, had been discharged from this duty recently, Nuttall replied:

“In our manifesto will be a commitment to keep the NHS in public hands, funded by the state, and free at the point of delivery.”

“We never sacked Tim Aker as the Head of Policy. Tim resigned three weeks ago. He actually put it out in a tweet, because he’s become a councillor in Thurrock, he’s an MEP, and he’s also in one of our top five target seats. The job was too big. It’s now been given to Suzanne Evans, and our manifesto is progressing quite nicely thank you.”

It will be interesting to see what the contents of this manifesto are, and to what extent, if any, UKIP has moved away from its Atlanticist Thatcherite economic position. Recent debates within the party around TTIP are suggestive that this may be the case.

Nuttall’s final major intervention related to issues connected to the SNP. He provided a robust, and fair, response:

“I am absolutely sick to death of Salmond, Sturgeon and the SNP. And I tell you why. Firstly, they lost that referendum, and secondly, you know with them it’s take, take, take, take, take. You never get anything back [Abbott scowls]. And you know what they’re taking? They’re taking your tax. You know, people in Scotland get an extra £1,600 more than people in England. You know what that pays for, your taxation up there? It pays for no tuition fees, whereas down here we pay tuition fees of £9,000 per year. They have free hospital car parking. Down here, we pay. [Abbott looks as if she’s chewing a wasp]. They have free prescriptions. Down here, we pay. When devolution happened, they got themselves a parliament, the English got nothing.” “Nothing is ever enough for them, is it?”

In response to Sturgeon’s recent comment that SNP MPs would in future vote on issues that only affect England, he stated “It’s absolutely appalling.” Quite correctly, Nuttell asserted that “English MPs should vote on English only issues,” not anybody else. Who could disagree? Virtually every member of the Labour Party, it would seem.

Thank you Comrade Abbott for our happy Childhood!

Now there we were all thinking that Kim Jong-un had become the unchallenged successor to his father the recently deceased Kim Jong-il and along comes this video below illustrating that there is perhaps another pretender to the North Korean leadership, or failing that, someone with aspirations of installing a North Korean style cult of personality in north London. What manner of egomaniac gets schoolchildren to rap a Jafaican encomium to their person, forcing innocent English youngsters to engage in ugly politicised propaganda whilst mangling their mother tongue? What kind of teacher not only allows this to take place in their school, but actively embraces and promotes it? This is not what any sane individual would recognise as education. This is political indoctrination pure and simple.

Those of us with some awareness of history know precisely where this type of activity has taken place before, do we not? If I had the skill, I would be tempted to rework the famous poster below substituting the figure of Abbott for Stalin: Thank you Comrade Abbott for our happy Childhood! If she had her way, English children would be informing on their parents for harbouring 'racist' views. Who's to say that this is not already happening in this particular Hackney school? As she is so keen on such Stalinist tactics, I think it only fitting that she be accorded a Soviet-style Russian nickname: Govnyushka. Luckily for Govnyushka the North Koreans have just released a video (see below) in honour of Kim Jong-un that she might find useful as a template for her own condensed biography.



 



Diane Abbott’s Guardian and ‘whiting up’


Shadow Minister for Public Health. That is the position held by Diane Abbott. I can think of nobody better qualified for this office other than perhaps that other exemplar of healthy living, ‘Lord’ Prescott.

Diane loves the Guardian and the Guardian reciprocates this tender affection. It truly is wonderful to behold such sentiments, for love is a fragile thing in the volatile worlds of politics and journalism. Love though, as they say, is blind, which is just as well when your object of affection is Diane, and this past week the Guardian has proffered its full support to her and her twittering. If only those nasty white people would understand that Diane is simply doing her professionally black best to advance the interests of her ‘people’ groaning under the yoke of English colonial oppression.

For Diane this is after all 1912, and so far as slavery goes it’s 1712. Time and space constitute no barrier for Diane and the Guardian, for the historical ‘ills’ suffered by a fraction of the global black population at the hands of a controlling minority of the English elite would appear to suffice as a pretext for browbeating all English people and all whites for the rest of eternity. The fact that blacks routinely enslaved each other and that Arabs viewed (and often continue to do so) them as akin to sub-humans but nonetheless worthy as enslaving registers neither with Abbott nor the Guardian. Do not such crude generalisations and projections of ‘guilt’ and ‘responsibility’ furnish clear evidence of their deeply ingrained anti-white racism?

I do hope that Diane appreciates the cartoon of her as ‘victim’ penned by Guardian cartoonist Gary Barker. In this she has been somewhat ‘whited up’ and portrayed as an innocent garnering unwarranted attention from a hostile press in front of a memorial to the recently beatified St Stephen. She is you see, such a morally upstanding woman. Oh yes, quite a remarkable woman my dear friends. What will Aardman Ed Miliband do? “More cheese Gromit? Oh, sorry, I meant to say Diane.” Someone call a taxi!

Diane Abbott 'whites up' for The Guardian

Diane Abbott: a professional 'Black Woman'


Please pay attention. This is an official announcement. Remain vigilant until the crisis is over.

It has been reported that a hominid throwback, a possible extant female specimen of Australopithecus Africanus, has been spotted in London, England. Contrary to received scientific wisdom, the overgrown female was found to be capable of complex yet crude vocalisations, which have for many years revolved around stereotyping and insulting white Homo Sapiens, who have provided the female with a comfortable living and quarters in which to nest and rear its offspring. Now however, it seems that the time for its aggressive pant-hooting may be drawing to a close, following its maladroit handling of electronic technology (hardly surprising given that Australopithecines are not thought to have been capable of producing tools).

Very well then, enough of the sarcasm for now. Abbott may be a member of the same species, but she has certainly spent the whole of her political life making a career out of nothing more than her blackness. She truly is, in the literal sense of the phrase, a professional black woman; she is professionally black. Take away her blackness and she’d have little to prattle about; she would be no more remarked upon than any other pseudo-socialist hypocrite who prescribes sub-standard state education for all, whilst sending their own children to private schools.

Some might say that Diane Abbott could be described as a professional black female hypocrite; a hypocritical female black professional, or indeed, a black female hypocritical professional. I wouldn’t like to say whether any of these statements happened to be true or otherwise, but one thing I know that she is not is this: an impartial politician who views whites and blacks equally. Diane Abbott most certainly is partial, and she is partial to blacks, as well as being a casual hater of whites. Why then the surprise surrounding her Tweet "White people love playing 'divide and rule' We should not play their game #tacticasoldascolonialism"?

She has after all, previously made disparaging remarks about “blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls”, claiming that she found them unsuited to nursing because they had "never met a black person before”. If you were recovering in hospital, who would you rather meet: someone such as Kiira Korpi or Diane Abbott? I know which of the two types would put the joie back into my vivre and get me swiftly onto the road to recovery, and it wouldn’t be some sullen white-hater originating in the tropics.

As for Abbott’s Tweet, does she not find it a little ironic that she herself has based her career entirely upon ‘divide and rule’? She seeks to corral black voters into a bloc that she then claims to represent, and this she has done most successfully in Hackney since 1987. Abbott is a race obsessive, and without her ugly politics of negritude victimhood and perpetual resentment, she would have no political platform and would have had no public career. Isn’t it time that this repulsive anti-indigenous anti-white politics was buried once and for all, along with the careers of its trailblazers Diane Abbott and Ken Livingstone amongst many others? Dotun Adebayo and Yasmin Alibhi Brown may have voiced their continued support for 'black' sectional politics and Diane Abbott on Radio 4 in a discussion with Justin Webb, but it needs to be made clear that if they continue to agitate upon the basis of race, then we whites have no alternative but to countermobilise along racial lines to secure our rights and interests in our own land. 

Beauty: Kiira Korpi - welcome on my ward

The Beast: Diane Abbott - not welcome on my ward
