Terror and bullying
The breaking news that Glaxo shareholders are being targetted by a shadowy "Animal Liberation" movement who have acquired their names addresses and shareholding details from the registers at Company House highlights what I consider to be one of the most difficult aspects of living in a supposedly free and democratic society. Particularly one living in the latter stages of "liberal" and humanist political control. The BBC is being very careful - as are the police and the company - to describe the authors of this attack on ordinary shareholders, as "bullying". But ist it bullying, or should it be considered as something far more serious. In my opinion this is terrorism and should be treated as such.
This is one of the dilemas faced in our free society, just where does the freedom to dissent from the mainstream start to become urban terrorism? What is an acceptable form of protest and what is not? Does the sort of rioting that France has recently seen consititute an assault on the liberty and freedom of the majority or should it be seen as a legitimate expression of anger against a legislature that is attempting to address a ludicrous situation put in place by well meaning but frankly impractical left wingers who have created a monstrous state machine and legislative mountain which is seriously damaging France's economic growth? Recent images of the streets of Paris may well be alarmist and overstating the real position, but they do give an indication of a worrying expansion of the lack of suitable jobs and housing for the growing numbers of school leavers and emigrants.
Here at home we see the continuing rise of the BNP and, like them or loathe them, they are cashing in on a response to what many people see as a breakdown of our values, a loss of opportunities for British youngsters and a growing flood of immigrants who may or may not bring with them skills the country lacks. But, it is fair to ask, if we lack these skills why do we continue to pay workers to be idle and to remain unskilled in these when there are jobs that are available to them - if they have the skill or can reskill? Again, we have to ask, why do we fund the idle protester lobby who barracade harbours and ferries because they disagree with live animal shipments? Why do we continue to pay housing benefit to those who turn their houses and flats into bomb factories or who use the handouts to buy equipment with which to spread terror and fear - whether for animal rights or for any other perceived "right" they feel they should be handed?
Part of the problem here is the politically correct lobby who have for years hero worshipped the likes of Che Guevarra, Pol Pot and anyone else who took up arms against the great Military/Industrial Capitalist regimes who have created the generous welfare states they live in. It is the fine distinction between "freedom fighter" and "terrorist" that these idiots insist on making that creates the problem - and of course, the voters who support the present government are frequently made up of a large number of the very same freeloading urban terrorists who embark on the sort of campaign the Glaxo shareholders are currently facing. It is time to stop playing games with these people, their actions are straightforward terrorism and must be treated as such. The police must throw as many resources at this as they have done against the Islamic terror cells active in this country and treat them the same way.
This is not legitimate protest, this is terrorism - and let us hope the new Home Secretary deals with it swiftly and firmly. I won't be holding my breathe though, he is, after all, the same man who thinks the IRA are men of peace fighting to save their religion and freedom from Unionist (and therefore not Labour!) occuppiers of Northern Ireland.
Oh, and most of the Labour Party are secretly in on this activity anyway - middle class shareholders? Capitalist filth in the eyes of Mr Blair and his Class Warriors.
