#LEADERTOMMY, the Pegida Fuhrer Tommy "The Tit" Robinson has relented from his earlier position, and is now openly reaching out to all fascist orgs including hardcore Hitler-worshipping neo-Nazi groups who he had originally said were not welcome. Such is the nature of his backtrack that American white supremacist organisation "Pioneer Little Europe" have promised to attend, PLE friends with the KKK. Those in the British far right with any semblance of a brain cell have serious cause for concern. The call for "unity" has to be too good to be true for self-proclaimed neo-Nazis, when Tommy has a track record of shopping far right radicals to the police. Still, many full-on fascists are likely to stroll willingly head first into the Pegida mousetrap, eagerly swallowing the bait like the idiots they are.

Sir Terence Arnold’s past conduct would likely preclude his ability to become a judge in any other law abiding country, let alone be awarded a knighthood for his services to justice in New Zealand. Sir Terence is generally known in the NZ legal community to have engaged in criminal activity as Solicitor General serious enough that it could have landed him in prison had the matter gone to trial.

Mythology as a window into other worlds
Tuesdays, 6.45–9.00pm
Language, art, music and culture emerged in Africa over 100,000 years ago, culminating in a symbolic explosion or ‘human revolution’ whose echoes can still be heard in myths and cultural traditions from around the world. These talks are a general introduction to social and biological anthropology, ranging over fields as diverse as hunter-gatherer studies, mythology, primatology, archaeology and archaeoastronomy. Radical Anthropology brings indigenous rights activists, environmentalists, feminists and others striving for a better world together with people of all ages who just want to learn about anthropology. There is always time for questions and discussion after each talk and there are good local pubs for those wishing to socialise into the evening.

Whilst banged up in prison, Pegida UK Fuhrer Tommy "The Tit" Robinson ghost-wrote his very own Islamophobic version of Mein Kampf with the assistance of puppeteer Helen "Growler", believing his clueless subordinates of the far right political scene would go "ape shit" for the book. When the sales he hoped for, didn't materialise, Tommy decided to hatch the ultimate plot of betrayal, using Pegidans as cannon-fodder to help the cash flow faster into his bank account. Liable to flog his own granny for drugs coffers, Tommy is plotting to sell out his loyal supporters for a few measly quid, having arranged the infamous Pickfords Plot a few years back, where he set up a van full of numpties before shopping them to the cops. Best of all, the lemmings who worship him are blissfully unaware of his dastardly plot.

In our 15 year history, we have addressed a wide range of topics. It is a rare episode which tackles a new topic, an even rarer one in which we tackle a new topic with such direct relevance to so many earlier shows. Today's show fits that description, examining the theories of cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker, that fear of our own mortality is a topic of unparalleled importance - but one that human psychology encourages us to shy away from rather than to properly address. For an example of the dangers of living without due skepticism of "immortality symbols" we conclude with part 3 of our ongoing adaption of Allan Francovich's film about Operation Gladio.

One of Bluehand's supposedly reformed neo-Nazis, UKIP supporting Pixie Lott fan club organiser Mike Faulkner, who claims not to support nationalist politics, nor like the BF, the EDL or any other far right orgs, has been tweeting extreme race hatred to his #bluehand buddies, calling for Muslims to be killed. Faulkner calls for packs of starving packs of dogs to be set upon Muslims, whilst at the same time, making overtures recently to antifascists, however the screenshots of his tweets show he is not a changed man. Once a nazi, always a nazi.

In a nutshell, the diplomatic battle between politicians, scientists and activists can be compared to a dynastic inheritance war of the pre-democratic period, in which there used to be four sides: The monopoly clingers, the innovation rivals, the alarmed neighbours and the suffering people. These four sides would then prevail in that order, structuring the feud into four periods: The rebellion, the intervention, the famine and the restoration. In the climate fight, all these ingredients – the fossil lobby, the scientific community, the activist counter- or perma-culture and the war-weary masses – can be found in the set and setting gravitating around the recent diplomatic event in Paris. But a lion´s share of all four also is alive in the Arab Independence Movement – oil administration privileges, cutting-edge counter-intelligence strategy, regional rooting and popular backing. And yet the elephant in the room was not invited to the table in Paris.

ANTIFA NATIONAL CALL OUT - BIRMINGHAM 06/02/16 - Tommy Robinson, convicted wifebeater and fraudster has officially announced on his Twitter that Birmingham will be the location of the upcoming Germanic neo-Nazi goosestep. The date to make a note of in your antifascist diaries is Saturday the 6th of February, which, as intended, because Yaxo is shit-scared of the UAF, is the date of their London conference. What Tommy and puppeteer Hel "Growler" Gower have failed to understand, having been so long out of the far right scene is ANTIFA (proper antifascists) are now the antifascist force on the streets, and will not be penned in by the cops. Aided by Irish Republicans.

Last night, UKIP were well and truly hammered in the Oldham by-election, and as such, a serious dose of egg was self-administered to their extreme rightwing faces. For all of the inane posturing about how they would beat Labour and help "trash" Jeremy Corbyn, when it came down to the nitty-gritty of polling day, there was no imaginary surge towards UKIP that the idiots had been tweeting and Facebooking for weeks.

Neo-nazi loner formerly of the BNP and the National Culturalists, Jack Buckby identifies the bumbling, brainless "Muslamic Ray Guns" / "What's That Symbol All Over Oldham" clone who Tommy has appointed his deputy, who gave his name as "Scott" on the Channel Four documentary as Tim Arnold. Is this his actual name???
Is this in any way true??? Is his surname Arnold? If so, can his Facebook profile be tracked down and screenshotted???

When a hospital goes over the brink of operational sanity into the gutter of the market, it is not that one bed of it shuts down after another, but long before that the average time an employee is available to a patient goes down. The overall picture is not so much the cutting of a bundle of flowers out of a reservoir of abundance, but the cutting of a lawn – you can only pluck those daisies before austerity comes through. It is the opposite of healing, where change is expected to take place whose worth is not entirely consumed by the ensuing side-effects or these of the compensations thereof. Austerity, as the term is being used outside the Himalayas, puts shake-up first and the elimination of side-effects later.

The most unwelcome Australian import since Rolf Harris are planning a series of fascist marches in 2016, starting in the North East of Britain. "Reclaim Britain" (lol) the UK branch of the neo-nazi hate group from down under, "Reclaim Australia", are invading the UK with a series of hatemongering goosestomps, feeding on the diseased corpse of the EDL like starving vultures. Like the Hitler-lickers of German neo-Nazi group Pegida, far right battalions across the globe see the disintegration of the EDL as their chance to get a steaming, stinking, worm-infested piece of the action.
"Know what it is yet, mate?????"
Yes we do! It's called Nazism"

BREAKING NEWS: TYSON FURY EXPOSED HIMSELF AS A RACIST SCUMBAG:
As if being a sickening homophobe was not enough, Britain's undefeated world heavyweight boxing champion from an immigrant Irish Traveller background, has come out on a YouTube training video as a vile racist who accuses immigrants of blowing up British people. And now, from being derided by Kippers, Fury is now their darling. Even the BNP, who openly said Travellers should be shot during the Dale Farm evictions, are now championing their support for this racist, Christian fundamentalist Irish Traveller Uncle Tom.

One of the most vilest and hateful racist / Islamophobic twitter accounts is Juliette (@juliet777777) who pretends they live in the United Kingdom. Obsessively tweeting extreme hatred against Muslims throughout the day or night, an early tweet from 2011 reveals "Juliette" to be a male hedge fund ex-banker from Hudson, New York called Bruce Krasting. Leading a double life, in the public eye as a seemingly non-radical financial markets commentator appearing on Fox and other media outlets, and online as vile far right Islamophobic troll @juliet777777, Krasting's beliefs are driven by extremist Rapturist Christianity which wants to see all Muslims dead, a philosophy which bastardises The Second Thessalonians, Gospel of Matthew, First Corinthians and the Book of Revelations, "Juliette" happily retweeting white supremacists and Hitler worshippers with shocking regularity.

In the past it has been a proven recipe to determine the scope of an international crisis to check the gold trade fever curve, and find shock or trauma successfully thrown back at the one per cent appear as market hiccups. Not so now. The recent terror alarm in Europe, both the concert jihad and the duck-and-cover administration, did not give gold the boost harboured by the idea of a world without central banks but with unrestrained markets, and the plan of bringing it about by the means of separatist accumulation. Instead, the trading floors of the fiat currencies are totally included by the Big Bubble of the currency spill, which inflated all assets throughout the markets and hence remains comfortably invisible from inside. Though the economic capabilities have not multiplied. What does it mean? Was the imperialist monster not hit by the November Offensive, or was it hit so badly that it does not even hurt? This is the expert insight.

On Saturday November 14th 2015 a march took place in Cambridge that was very much a sign of the times.
It was a march for affordable housing, in an era of all-time-high property prices and proposed Tory policies to force local authorities and housing associations to sell off at least 25% of their existing stock, despite there being enormous demand for new social housing (approximately 2,500 people in the Cambridge area alone are on the Council's waiting list).
