...
It is too early, in my opinion, to say if the 2009
post-presidential election street clashes at Iran’s
capital will grow to full pledged and/or sustained street
riots by those disaffected backers of defeated reformist
candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi over Friday's re-election
win of hardliner and firebrand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
...
But what is a fact right now inside Iran is that Tehran
street clashes by Mousavi supporters have emerged
strongly against Ahmadinejad and his win of gaining
four more years as President of Islamic Iran. It isn't a
a pretty picture coming out of Tehran with grim images
of Iranian government police kicking, beating and ar-
resting whoever they can lay their hands on at such
street protests, which for now appear to be mainly
confined to urban patches of the university area of
the city. The political and internal dangers for both
Ahmadinejad and Mousavi are that such street
clashes could spread out of control, not only with-
in the Iranian capital itself, but also beyond to
divers and other towns and cities all across Iran.
But again right now, it seems such street pro-
tests are local to Tehran and not beyond its
geographic confines. Though that could change
quite rapidly if the Ahmadinejad government
mishandles the present post-election protests,
which it is more likely to do than not by its
current and ugly crackdown against such
young and rich Mousavi protesters!!

Whoever Is Iran's True Election Winner, Would You Please Stand-Up? By Uncle Monty.

Whoever Is Iran's True Election Winner,
Would You Please Stand-Up?
Iran Commentary By Uncle Monty.
Iran Graphic By Alex Albion.
...
:: The Islamic Republic's Official Farsi News Agency ::
Could it be that Iran is now in for a "New Revolution,"
of sorts, between the hardliners and the reformists
in the disputed Iranian 2oo9 Presidential Election
win of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over his
arch-rival reformist and former prime
minister Mir Hossein Mousavi?
...
With Ahmadinejad now officially declared the winner
of yesterday’s explosive presidential election of 2oo9,
such means there’ll be no run off between the pair with
Ahmadinejad‘s 65% (revised to 62%) win over Mousavi's
32%. Elsewhere, I had earlier stated that Ahmadinejad
would not be easily unseated in his re-election bid and
it looks now that such has been the case whether it
has been by fair or foul in Iran. My question now is
this: "Whoever Is Iran's True Election Winner,
Would You Please Stand-Up?" The answer is that
both men are now standing-up with each of them
claiming to be the overall presidential winner.
Such will only cause future strife inside Iran.
...
But anybody who thought that reformist Mousavi
would easily "be let" to win the day were totally off
the ball in understanding the internal political, religious
and military forces standing behind the Ahmadinejad
Presidency. Islamic Iran is in no mood to divvy-up to
liberal reformists like Mir Hossein Mousavi, who I also
wouldn’t be surprise if he doesn’t get himself arrested
now for “insulting the president” during the 2oo9
campaign after President Ahmadinejad had himself
accused him of such. Hardliners, after all, usually
play political hardball. Especially, when they win!!
...
Iranian Women.
...
Ahmadinejad re-election is bad news for Washington
and especially angry and disconcerting news for Israel
after seeing its loudest arch-enemy not unseated.
Scuffles have also already broken out in Tehran, the
capital of Iran, over the disputed presidential election
results. If such should escalate inside Iran, then
internal strife could well prevail there and if serious
enough could eventually lead to some kind of student
and reformist revolt against Ahmadinejad and his
well-established cleric and revolutionary hardline
base. Such a revolt could then see the rise of a "New
Revolution," although at this stage it is doubtful,
in my opinion, for such to take root or life inside
Iran unless such a possible revolt is truly wide-
spread inside Old Persia. I cannot fully gauge
right now what the long-term or immediate im-
pact of such a disputed national election will have
on the national psyche of the overall Iranian
people. It will be primarily the students and
intellectuals who will agitate against the
Ahmadinejad election results. How far
they will get remains to be seen ... Not
far, I suspect! At least not for now.

IRAN QUEST
iranquest.com/blog/?p=6482

^ Iranian Death Penalty: The Ugly Side of Iran ^

I have been happy to comment on the presidential election of Iran from a far distance here in London. I am intensely interested in political situations at home and abroad at whenever such arises to rekindle my political appetite that is always hungry to observe and where possible to also freely comment on. The next big election is the upcoming British General Election that must be called no later than by June, 2010. I am gearing-up for that with great relish and determined commentary that will stand 1,000%, yes 1,000%, against New Labour and all that it detestably represents to me ...

In the meantime, give a little thought to what has just happened inside Iran. And, get ready for military fireworks both inside and outside of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Shi'ite Nation. Many countries in the Middle East - most notably Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Gulf States - that oppose the rise of a feared and future Nuclear Iran under Ahmadinejad's now re-elected rule are shivering even more so in their big Arab boots. Iran should never be dismissed or under-estimated on the world stage. And Iran will gobble-up Israel just given a half a chance. So watch out ... for an Iran-Israel War is most probably on the way!!

Sincerely, Uncle Monty. +Eve of Corpus Christi, 2oo9.

Iran's 2009 Presidential Election.
Special IPS News Report.
Iran Commentary
By Uncle Monty.
...
IPS SPECIAL:
Iran Goes to the Polls. Iranians are heading to
the polls to decide between the incumbent Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad and three rivals, Mohsen Razai, Mehdi Karroubi
and Mir Hossein Mousavi - seen as the main contender. The
world is watching. The outcome will be taken as an indicator
of the prospects for success of U.S. President Barack Obama's
diplomatic outreach to Tehran. The two reformist-leaning
candidates - Karroubi and Mousavi - are emphasising
dialogue with the West.

Iranian Elections Could Shape U.S. Engagement.
By Daniel Luban and Ali Gharib.
WASHINGTON (IPS) - Washington is waiting anxiously on the
outcome of Friday's Iranian presidential elections, as incumbent
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attempts to fend off challenger
Mir Hossein Mousavi in a contest with significant implications
for the diplomatic atmosphere between Iran and the U.S.

12th VOTING INSIDE IRAN ::
Iranians vote in droves, Mousavi ally claims lead.
By Parisa Hafezi and Zahra Hosseinian.
...
Iranian Voter at Tehran Political Rally.
Iran Commentary By Uncle Monty.
Wearing green at Iran’s 2009 Presidential Election is
nothing to do with the politics of ecology, but rather a
mark of opposition to the incumbent Islamic President
and firebrand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by the supporters of
his most noted rival Mir Hossein Mousavi, who as a former
Prime Minster is running to unseat the archconservative
Ahmadinejad from winning a second term at the political
helm of Shi'ite Iran.
...
Mousavi’s supporters have been rallying nightly all over
Tehran and all dressed up in their best green from head to
toe. Many of his backers are those Iranians who were born
after the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic Revolution in
1979 over the CIA-back tyranny and westernised culture
of Shah Pahlavi. They are not embedded to the Islamic
Revolution like many of those who lived under the Shah's
Shahanshah status and at the rise of then aging Khomeini.
...
Many of those young people who support Mousavi see
Ahmadinejad as too strict and conservative for their
modernistic and western outlook and youthful taste and
rebellious lifestyle. But Ahmadinejad will not be easily
unseated, although it is possible that neither he nor his
strongest rival Mousavi will win out right on June 12th and
thus a run off election would then be called for June 19th
all across Iran. A run-off could then more likely endanger
Ahmadinejad’s hopes of staying president. His base is in
rural Iran and far away from “liberal” Tehran. At cities
like Esfahan, Iran’s third largest city, and at smaller
towns like Rasht at the Caspian Sea, of which I have
both visited while I was inside fascinating Iran during
the last month of 2007, I don’t see Mir Hossein
Mousavi making much headway over President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Nor do I see his other political
rivals Mohsen Razai and Mehdi Karroubi, getting far
either. Unless, of course, something extraordinary
happens at Iran’s Presidential Election, which takes
place tomorrow after a bitter three-week campaign
of threats and mudslinging by both sides.
...
The 2009 Iran Election is perhaps the most watched
election outside of Iran, especially in America, of any
recent times since such may well determine the fate
of Iran at the hitchy hands of miltary Israel and the
Western powers’ determination in attempting to rein in
and/or prevent Iran’s nuclear rise on the world’s political
and miltary stage. Whatever should happened at the
presidential election will not, in my opinion, bring
about a lull or halt to Iran’s nuclear ambitions whether
for domestic energy use or for what the West and Israel
says is primarily for a nuclear-armed Iran. Many young
Iranians also want less confrontation with the West and
want to open the country to a less divisive figure like
Ahmadinejad and his additional followers among the
anti-American Revolutionary Guard. "The Great
Satan" isn't so alive among the young crowd as it
still is among the hardliners of Islamic Iran.
...
If reformist Mousavi is elected, then the hope of the West is
increased for open dialogue, but if Ahmadinejad is re-elected
then the same old story of confrontation is then in replay for
the West and America’s Obama, who is talking double talk to
Iran while still bending over backwards to accommodate the
Israeli lobby at Tel Aviv and Washington, D.C. Frankly,
I don't think Obama or his secretary of state Hilary
Clinton know a darn thing about the Iranian people nor
their remarkable culture and human history. Iranians
are neither Arabs nor Europeans, they are a separate
and distinct people all of their own.
...
The issue of the economy and oil revenues will
play a significant part in the outcome, too, of
Iran's 2009 Presidential Election. And such is
also beside other subjective factors like the
personality and politics of Ahmadinejad himself.
Like many others, I now anxiously await the
polling outcome of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
Mohsen Razai, Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein
Mousavi, at the hands of my clear admiration
for the Iranian people.

El Vicio Inglés.
Por Roberto Martino.
Corregido Por Tío Monty.
><
Hoy un poco de literatura.
Dejando aparte la ficción, el libro de ensayo
que más se ha volcado en el tema de los azotes
estudiándolo desde una perspectiva tanto sociológica
como histórica y psicológica, es El Vicio Inglés, del
hispanista Ian Gibson, que en España es conocido
por haber escrito libros sobre García Lorca y toda
la etapa de la guerra civil. Gibson es irlandés de
origen pero se nacionalizó español hace ya
unos cuantos años; si no me equivoco
ahora vive en Madrid.
><
Vicio Inglés = English Vice.
><
Publicó en 1978 (aunque la edición española, El vicio
inglés, es de 1980) y se puede calificar de libro político,
o incluso de panfleto, si no se tratara de un libro bien
escrito y no sonara tan despectivo lo de panfleto, cuya
pretensión era apoyar la prohibición del castigo corporal
en las escuelas, puesto que la vara no desapareció de los
colegios de élite británicos hasta bien entrados los años
80. Para ello, Gibson da un montón de datos respecto
al uso de los azotes en escuelas, en la vida familiar,
en el ejército y en los prostíbulos.
><
Crimen del Victorian en Inglaterra
= Victorian Crime in England.
><
Se trata de un libro paradójico, porque critica los castigos
corporales pero dando un montón de detalles morbosos
que difícilmente tienen interés para el lector no iniciado en
el tema. ¿El autor es tan inocente que no se imagina qué
público va a estar motivado para comprarse un libro de este
estilo? Yo diría que juega un poco a nadar y guardar la ropa;
sabe que el libro se lo van a comprar los amantes de los azotes
y les da cantidad de detalles, pero salva las apariencias con su
discurso serio a favor de la abolición de la vara en los colegios.
><
Eroticism Británico!! = British Eroticism!!
><
El libro puede satisfacer igualmente a los espankófilos homo
y heterosexuales; a los primeros por toda su información
acerca de la vara y el switch o haz de ramas en Eton y el resto
de colegios británicos, casi siempre aplicada sobre los traseros
de los chicos, y a los segundos por la información sobre
pornografía y prostitución sadomasoquista centrada en los
azotes, casi siempre dados a chicas. Otros clásicos del ensayo
espanking, como el francés Elogio de la azotaina, en cambio,
se vuelcan solamnete en las zurras heterosexuales.
><
Cuando señoras eron señoras
= When ladies were ladies.

F.U.E.U. By Uncle Monty.

F.U.E.U. By Uncle Monty.
British Polling Results for the European
Union Election of June 4th, 2oo9.
*
By a casual slip of the tongue, she blurred out
“FU” instead of meaning to say “EU” when we were
both bickering between ourselves about the many
negatives we felt about the forced existence upon us
of the European Union, which first began in 1957 under
then a different name and under very different cir-
cumstances than we see in today's messy Europe.
*
So her “F.U.” was perfect to then couple with
”E.U.” to fully express our complete disapprobation
of the 27-nation union of Europe. So “F.U.E.U.” now
says precisely what many UK Eurosceptics might
really think about Britain’s continued and unvoted
membership in the costly multimillion Euro-funded
Brussels-Strasbourg glasshouse of some 736 elected
members representing the electorate of 375 million
people. Along with the EU's 180,000 laws already
passed upon us by such an unneeded and unwanted
assembly and whether, we the people, like it or not.

With its ever-growing bureaucracy and Pan-European
powers that will eventually remove and banish Britain’s
own sovereignty and independent nationhood right
down the drain, the EU should really be countered
and dismissed by simply referring to it, if ever so
impolitely and crudely, as "F.U.E.U." Its brazen
political and ecomonic tentacles and rude clout may
well be the harbinger for the future "Stalinization,
Secularization, Federalization, Miltarization,
Africanization, Islamicization, and even the
Ghettoization, all of Europe," if the European Union
is let to freely stand against us. My answer now,
and in the future, is to then simply say nothing
more and nothing less than - "F.U.E.U.”
Case thus closed!!!

Came We To Cast Our EU Vote. By Uncle Monty.

Came We To Cast Our EU Vote.
By Uncle Monty.
Photos By Alex Albion.
~~~
Not a single white voting official was seen at my
English polling station with only African female
faces in charge of handling the expected surge of
local voters wishing to cast their vote in today’s
mandated 2oo9 European Union (EU) Election
at my own London electoral ward.
~~~
I arrived at the polling station at about 6.31am to
find no voters yet there. While officials were quickly
and busily sticking up black and white paper signs
on the outside brick walls for the public to know
it was now an official polling station. It seemed
such an amateurish affair as the paper signs
soon came off the walls due to the cellotape
not sticking to the surface of the cold bricks.
Repeatedly, they tried to stick such to the
walls only to find the same problem yet
again. It was so pathetic, too ...
~~~
Inside The EU Polling Station at 7:00am.
~~~
Sharp at seven, I saw the first voter walk inside to
cast his EU vote. He was a white male of perhaps
age 50. He was followed quickly by a short, young,
African guy of say no more than age 20. I was the
third voter to step inside the polling station. By the
time I had cast my vote, I saw only a plump built
white retiree having his voter registration details
verified by those African female voting officials.
~~~
I saw, however, no female voters at high or
low either before, during or after my visit to
the polling station. So, obviously there was
no anxious queues or any kind of stampede
to get out and vote at what was now 7.22am
at my immigrant-dominated London 'hood.
~~~
Not until late tonight at 10.00pm will the day
be finished for public voting in the EU Election
at when the polling stations will be officially
closed. By that time, hundreds of thousands
of people will have undoubtedly cast their
EU votes all across the UK. Along with at
least 25 other European nations that will
also be voting to elect their MEPs to sit and
serve in the European Union Parliament at
Belgium's capital of Brussels for the next 5
years. Those elected will enjoy the growing
gravy train of fancy privileges and perks
that are theirs for the asking at, of course,
the expense of all the millions of European
taxpayers.
~~~
Of the 19 UK political parties or individuals listed
on the EU ballot sheet, the first in alphabetical
order was the British National Party (BNP) that
is running 8 London candidates by the name of
Richard Bailey, Michael Barnbrook (who is al-
ready elected to the London Assembly), Dennis
Pearce, Julian Leppert, Roberta Woods (the only
female listed), Christopher Forster, John Clarke,
and John Alfred Evans. The BNP is among such
other non-mainstream UK parties like the
Socialist Labour Party (which is separate from
the British Labour Party or New Labour), the
Jury Team (who or whatever that is!), Libertas,
English Democrats Party, UK Independence
Party, and No2EU (a trade union inspired and
back party), that seeks to be seated at Brussels.
~~~
The BNP will do very well among blue-collar
workers, white council estate tenants, dissatisfied
Old Age Pensioners or senior citizens, no matter
what the ilk of Gordon Brown says. In fact, his
warning against the BNP does precisely the op-
pose of his intention to scare such voters away.
Indeed, the traditional Labour Party voters
of working class men and women have turned
their backs solidly against New Labour in their
droves after feeling totally ignored and
abandoned by its mass immigration policies
and its refusal, among other things, not to
honour its earlier commitment to give the
British electorate the right to vote on the
so-called Lisbon Treaty. Instead, the
unelected Jackass Gord decided he'd do
it himself and sign Britian away under
The Lisbon Treaty.
~~~
New Labour will pay ever so dearly
for its utter betrayal of the working
class British people. Just wait and see
the outcome of the EU election re-
sults for the UK on Sunday night. If the
non-mainstream parties haven't then
clobbered New Labour, I shall be very
much surprised and I shall also then
suspect that there may have been some
kind of trampering or tinkering with the
final results from who ever controls the
vote count in either the UK
and/or in Brussels.
~~~
Before The Polling Station Opened.
~~~
The final results or official tally from all the EU
members countries caught up in the 2oo9 Euro-
pean Union Elections will not be announced until
Sunday night or in three days time from this day
of Thursday, June 4th, 2oo9. I shall update
the final UK scores herein when such is
officially published by the EU election
bureaucrats.

:: UPDATE ::
Late afternoon and early evening news reports indicate
that Londoners are shunning the right to vote in the
today's EU Elections with many polling stations now
reporting an "appalling lack" of voter turn out compared
to previous EU Elections in the UK. What a low turnout
will mean for the non-mainstream parties like UKIP
and the BNP against New Labour, the Tories, and
the Lib-Dems, I do not know at this point. I suspect,
however, nothing is going to help PM Gordon Brown as
he bunkers down at No. 10 Downing to try to starve-
off yet another inhouse rebellion against him at his
own diasterous political party called British Labour.
If UKIP and/or BNP come out swinging as big
winners today in either the local elections for
British county and council seats and/or the EU
Election , then Jackass Gord is finished off no matter
if he is still able to withstand calls for him to go and
to go fast by his own Labour Party henchmen and
their ever-tricky spin operators. What is certain,
is the present UK Labour Government can now
expect to live for many future years and then more
years in the austere political wilderness of their
own socialistic and hideous making
of today's "Broken New Britian."

Once Again, Ruling Class Stirs a Revolt.
PARIS — Every so often, Britons in large numbers seem to rally around a common theme, a newly coined orthodoxy that brooks no dissent and rudely demands change. And, as events over the years — indeed the centuries — have shown, their leaders ignore such junctions in the nation’s history at their peril. It happened, perhaps mawkishly, when Princess Diana died in 1997 and the royal family — perceived as stuffy and unresponsive, remote and unfeeling — seemed to disdain its subjects’ communal grief. Only when Queen Elizabeth II addressed the nation, descending from her palace to street level to bow — however discreetly — at Diana’s funeral cortege, was the monarchy redeemed.
::
It happened again in 2003 when over a million people took to the streets of London to tell the then-prime minister, Tony Blair, that they did not want their soldiers to fight in the American-led invasion of Iraq. But Mr. Blair did send his troops to war and became embroiled in the acrimonious debates over Iraq’s purported weapons of mass destruction that undermined his every justification for doing so. It is often argued that the beginnings of his ouster in 2007 were rooted in those passionate days in 2003 when he lost the people’s trust at one of those moments when the British stiff upper lip turns into a mastiff’s snarl.
::
And it is happening again, in 2009. With shared fury, Britons have rounded on those who represent them at the Mother of Parliaments, scenting something rotten in this cradle of democracy as their legislators are caught out in tawdry manipulation of their expense accounts.
The instances of straight cheating and more ambiguous rule-bending are now legend. The public purse, it seems, financed the cost of cleaning a moat, of purchasing a home for pet ducks, of paying off non-existent mortgages, of buying manure, crackers and dog food. Legislators have been caught using public funds to sponsor relatives’ accommodation, renovate homes, hire unauthorized spin doctors and evade taxes.
::
By the standards of chief executives’ or investment bankers’ bonuses, the amounts were generally modest. Members of Parliament earn £64,766 a year, or about $104,000, and are permitted expenses including office costs and an extra £24,000 for running a second home — either to be near their constituents or to be near their colleagues on the green benches of Westminster. And, true enough, not all legislators have been found morally deficient.
But day after day for over three weeks, The Daily Telegraph- has mined a trove of legislators’ expense accounts, stoking its readers’ revulsion at an aloof ruling class depicted as milking the public purse. (In 1997, it was the tabloid press that heaped pressure on the royals to change their ways.)
::
Usually, The Daily Telegraph -is seen as speaking to, and for, the Conservative right of British politics, but the stain of its campaign has spread beyond its traditional targets.
Legislators from both main parties have been forced to quit, some in the face of angry public encounters with constituents whose sense of betrayal is personal. Still more will not be permitted to run for office again. The Parliament speaker, Labor’s Michael Martin, announced tersely and testily that he would resign in June. As if to escape a British equivalent of the French revolutionary tumbrel, politicians of all stripes are vying with one another to promise a new beginning.
::
“It’s been a terrible few weeks for politics,” David Cameron, the leader of the opposition Conservatives, said with rare understatement. People have come to believe “that the state is their enemy, not their ally.” Some of those passions and perceptions have been magnified by the prospect of elections across the Continent next week to the European Parliament — a ballot most Britons generally greet with indifference.

Is This Jackass Really Our Prime Minister?

::
“Fewer people voted to decide who should represent them in the glass house in Brussels than did to choose who should stay in the Big Brother house on television,” said Timothy Garton Ash, a historian and columnist. But the European ballot has been used in the past by some Britons as a vehicle of protest. For the British establishment, the fear now is that, out of disaffection and spite, the voters will give an undeserved and embarrassing electoral boost to the anti-immigrant British National Party (BNP), punishing the mainstream by rewarding the extremes. Such are the worries that the Church of England, often remote from politics, became embroiled in a somewhat undignified exchange with Nick Griffin, the National Party’s leader. Rowan Douglas Williams, the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, and (African-born) John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, used a joint statement to tilt against political parties exploiting Britain’s malaise to conjure “fear and division within communities, especially between people of different faiths or racial background.” In response, Mr. Griffin told the clerics it was time they “grew up.”

::
In Britain, the European ballot (tomorrow) is no more than a bellwether. The fight for the real prize is at the British national elections within 12 months. Before the scandal over expenses erupted, the Conservatives seemed confident front-runners. Now the question is whether Prime Minister Gordon Brown will risk an earlier vote — and whether the political system will endure as it has in the past. Some close watchers of politics have their suspicions that the British elite will survive the shocks of 2009 — emerging as a phoenix in newer plumage, but the same creature at heart. Britons may well hear promises of renewal from their leaders, Mr. Garton Ash wrote in The Guardian. But then, the promise of change will give way to “the long slow disappointment as the new masters behave like the old, exploiting all the powers and privileges of an over-mighty executive in an over-centralized state.”

::
Others have reached far into history to seek a parallel, settling on the bloody example of the Peasant’s Revolt of 1381. At that time, rebellious serfs marched on London to challenge the feudal authority of an elite around the young King Richard II. Buildings burned. Heads rolled. And the rulers broke promises made to defuse the revolt. “What irks voters, taxpayers and shareholders is what angered medieval peasants — that the ruling class regards us with contempt,” the columnist Carl Mortished wrote in The Times of London. “Meanwhile we must fight their wars, fill their castles with food and pay the taxes they impose.”

Comments on EU, Iranian & UK Elections By Uncle Monty. After The European Union (or "F.U.E.U.") Elections on June 4th, then comes Iran's important presidential election on June 12th, 2oo9. The result of such may well determine, I think, if Isreal eventually decides to then militarily attack Iran if it hasn't already decided to do so. Especially, should its present archenemy - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - win a second Islamic term at Tehran. The whole thing is scary should Israel preemptively take a military strike against Iran. But it won't do that, I suspect, until most of the U.S. Forces are withdrawn from out of Iraq over the next year because they know, do the Israelis, that Iran will most likely attack the nearest American military bases, too, in such an event. And Israel cannot affort to alienate the U.S. much further than it is right now by then indirectly getting Iran to attack American soldiers and vested interests in Iraq and in other regions of the Middle East. As for the Europe Union Elections (which by voting in them only helps legitimise its further unwanted existence), the next British General Election is the most important one for Brits to finally and absolutely rid the country of all things called "New Labour." And, yes the "dreaded" BNP, along with other smaller parties like UKIP, The Greens, The Christians, etc., will not only do very well in tomorrow's EU farce, but most especially at the General Election in the UK. The mainstream parties - Tories, Labourites, and Lib-Dems - have only themselves to blame for their own hideous situation at today's disgusting British political life. I have not yet decided who I shall vote for in the Brit Election, except to say I will absolutely NOT vote for Labour at any political level either tomorrow or at any forseeable future - period. I utterly detest all that they represent from their mass immigration to their patholological lies to their economic mess and to their imposed I.D. cards for all in their own created "Broken New Britian." Labour is truly a curse against all things "British." We need to end their curse!! Along with ending the political nightmare that they have now brought upon us all ... from Anthony "Bambie" -Blair to Jackass Gord!!
