Labour Considering Banning BNP Teachers.
I can fully understand that the Police ban BNP members, they are able to abuse powers that they hold and the chance of a citizen being able to do anything about that abuse is minimal at best.
I think however a ban on BNP teachers just allows them to become political martyrs. It will not help bring back to Labour the working class vote that felt aggrieved enough to swap their vote from New Labour to the British Nazi Party. (Where is the social housing you promised Mr Brown?).
Perhaps rather than banning membership of one Party, ban membership of all Parties for teachers. This is done for senior Civil Servants and Senior Local Government Officers.
Party politics is not for the classroom. If you are going to ban teachers from a political party then ban membership of all parties. Politically restricted posts exist within the civil service already and it would ensure that they could not use victim status in the European Court of Human Rights. Where they may even gain a compensation payment.
Courtesy of Gordon Brown playing every stupid bigoted dog whistle to the white working class base of the Labour Party and then failing to deliver, we now have two of them in Parliament.
No matter how offensive they may be, they are a legal party as their election confirms. This is not a way of dealing with the problem.

Gordon Brown Has Lost It
He has forgotten how to live, how life ACTUALLY IS. He has been in a Security bubble for at least 12 years, HE sees police everywhere, on rooftops, round corners when he goes to buildings. He does not realise that is because of the position HE holds.
There are no “bobbies on the beat”. There are the pretend police of the “Community Safety Officers”, who seem only to be employed by Councils to provide comedic relief to kids on estates, and jackbooted, body armoured cops who would rather stamp pn your head than tell you the time.
He does not know that the Police are only interested in you if you look remotely Islamic, are at a demo, are taking their picture, or are a motorist.
He probably thinks one of the nice Policemen he sees on the roof can help the old granny home when she withdraws her pension from the cash point. This proves beyond anything HE HAS LOST IT.

Gordon Brown urges police to walk people home from cashpoint
Comments (127)Gordon Brown today urged police across England and Wales to offer to walk the last mile home with people who feel unsafe after they visit the cashpoint.
He floated the idea, pioneered by the Wanstead neighbourhood police team in east London, when he delivered his first major speech about crime at Chelsea FC’s conference centre today.
Given the current state of the banking system and some of the lunatics now employed by the Police, I would feel safer being escorted home by the neighbourhood mugger.

Submitted on Friday – Still Not Up. I want a UK War Crimes Investigation.
Submitted to the Downing Street website on Friday. Not yet “approved”.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to expedite the enquiry into the full circumstances of the Iraq war. This enquiry should cover ministerial conduct, the issues surrounding the lead up to the start of the war, the prosecution of that war and the consequences of that War. The enquiry should be fully prepared to consider references to whether the UK was complicit in War crimes, especially in light of recent revelations by the Government of the United States of America.
Any enquiry should cover
Issues surrounding Ministerial statements about Weapons of mass destruction. The numbers of Iraqi citizens that died as a result of the War. The effects on terrorism generated by the Iraq War. The economic consequences for Iraq of the War and our resulting liabilities. British complicity in torture. Whether statements made to the House about our full involvement in Iraq and our complicity in torture hold true. Whether Ministers lied about torture to the Courts about their knowledge of torture during the Binyam Mohamed case.

Why Gordon Must Go
Gordon Brown is now just a desperate loser. He is doing a Hillary Clinton. Appealing to the most extreme of the working class base. I would not be surprised to hear him come out and say hard working Britons, white Britons.
Effective tax rates of 62.8% on highest incomes place us as now one of the highest taxed in the World. This was a pure play to the Labour base. This tax increase compares to the now top tax rate of 39% America introduced (currently 35%).
It should be noted unlike Brown, the US also passed the biggest ever tax reduction in history for those earning under $250,000. Here middle earners will be faced with another tax increase through the NI system. What Brown has ensured is that if there is any economic recovery – especially in Finance, that recovery will be in the US and not the UK. 80% of hedge fund transactions worldwide used to be done from London in order to trade from The British Cayman Islands. A tiny Island holding 80% of all Hedge Funds held world wide. Primarily because it is used by Britain as a tax haven.
Brown continued to show how out of touch he was by playing to the BNP supporters of working class Labour constituencies. Trying to stop a few brown skinned Gurkhas coming in was exactly that – a play to the working class racist. This would have been the Gordon Brown moment of saying look Cameron and the Liberals support the darkees. Except that it would not work. The British are very proud of their relationship with the Gurkhas. They continue to fight with us even today in Afghanistan. They deserve recognition.
Terrorism “busts” on on Muslims to increase the fear factor, which if secret, why are the BBC always there filming? All 9 of those arrested during the expenses crisis of the Home Secretary were released without charge.
££££millions spent on very fascistic report any stranger adverts to boost the fear factor.
None of it is working. The British are fair minded so Brown can play to the BNP vote as much as he wants but he will be left with BNP vote numbers if he does.
News reporters should have been exposing the tax legacy of Brown instead of sucking up to him. His big anti child poverty tax credit system, has left millions facing overpayments because of its complexity and the lowest paid facing effective tax rates of 39% after paying their normal rates of tax. This is the same rate as the top rate of tax in the US, but here it is paid by people on the minimum wage.
His policies effectively destroyed what remained of British manufacturing, research and design. He did not care as the city was picking up the tab. Now that has gone. With effective tax rates of 62.8% because of the 50% band and no cap on NI, no one will pick up the tab either.
His billionaire cronies will not either. Brown talked a lot about tax havens, but most of the tax havens in the World are British. They hold something like $13 trillion in untaxed wealth.
His strong arming of education proposals and forcing through the performance indicator culture into every public service, leaves Britain with a nation of people able to follow exam courses but unable to write. Public services that are able to deliver indicators, not services.
Any cuts in public services to come are his cuts. He leaves the budget in a mess.
He is a walking disgrace. The Blair legacy after 3 large majority terms was simply Iraq. The Brown legacy is putting Britain on the rack.
If you have not signed the petition – do so now.
