racist empire revivalist Blair has key British 'left' doing his propaganda

01-03-2007 21:21

An interesting spectacle is occurring in Britain, with the very successful careerist as the authorised [by the state] left socialist platform grabber Viscount Stansgate [Oops!

Some of the vigil keepers with baloons.

The last in a series of legal challenges against the road through the
Tara -Skyrne valley has failed today. There are 72 hours left before the
road works which will not alone bisect the historic valley, but place a
land grab and ugly planning in and around the whole area will commence.

is theirs, denied to them from when traditional land ownership patterns
were set with the invasion of William the Conqueror, and later, with the
numerous acts of enclosure which served to exclude masses of people from
the countryside.
