Dr. David Starkey - Newest Recipient of the Prestigious HA Award

Some people should be horsewhipped.  Let's start with this idiot, Dr. David Starkey who makes excuses that no one ever explained to 'Asian' [i.e. in this particular euphemism it means MUSLIM] Pakistanis that British girls are not to be passed around as sex slaves.  As typical, the Torygraph isn't open for comment on this news item, otherwise they'd eventually have their servers melt from the torrent of invective from their readership.

Here is a pull quote:

"The historian said “nobody ever explained” to the men – eight of Pakistani origin and one from Afghanistan – that women could not be treated in this way.

Dr Starkey called for better teaching of English history to create a “common identity” and overcome the challenges of multiculturalism.

But the comments are likely to prompt condemnation just a day after the men were handed sentences of between four and 19 years for the offences.

Liverpool Crown Court heard the group plied five victims with drink and drugs and "passed them around" for sex.

The girls were abused at two takeaway restaurants in the Heywood area of Rochdale by the men aged between 24 and 59. The takeaways are now under new management.Speaking at a conference staged by Brighton College, the private school in East Sussex, Dr Starkey said that the “only way we are going to get to be able to survive as a multi-cultural society is if we re-address the story – the real story – of English history.”

Later in the story he makes this astonishing statement:  “Those men were acting within their own cultural norms. Nobody ever explained to them that the history of women in Britain was once rather similar to that in Pakistan and it had changed.”

Someone remind me WHEN in UK history was it ever 'okay' to pass women around in a rape gang?  I majored in European history, especially British history, and I just don't remember that.

No, Starkey, you dumb bunny.  It wasn't that they weren't taught 'British History' -- it's that they have not developed a sense of morals any civilized human being should have.  Teaching them about Magna Carta isn't going to make them stop thinking every woman not wearing a burqa and accompanied by 2 male relatives is 'available.'

For more disgust and outrage see this story re: how the police knew about this 'Asian' sex gang as early as 2002.

Hey, here's a thought for the Home Office you can apply when you're not busy persecuting the widows of Englishmen:  How about when these 'Asians' come into your country they have to sign a piece of paper which states:  'I understand that whilst I am in the UK I am not to grab women and rape them and pass them among my buddies merely because they are not wearing a burqa and attended by a male relative.  I further understand that if I do violate this law, that I will be taken to the place from whence I have come, have my body wrapped in pigskin, and will be strung up by my testicles and hung until dead."

Start with that.

HA Award - University of Sussex

Haven't given out one of these in a while, but the occasion merits it. Apparently, due to government budget cuts, the University of Sussex (UK) has decided that its History Department will no longer do research on English History prior to 1700!

I guess it makes it easier for the Muzzies if you can gradually blot out a nation's history.

Good grief.

From the Daily Telegraph:

"Academics have attacked a decision by a top university to scrap research into English history before 1700.

It was claimed that the move by Sussex University risked jeopardising the nation’s understanding of the subject and “entrenching the ignorance of the present”.
Under plans, research and in-depth teaching into periods such as the Tudors, the Middle-Ages, Norman Britain, the Viking invasion and the Anglo-Saxons will be scrapped, along with the Civil Wars.

The university will also end research into the history of continental Europe pre-1900, affecting the study of the Napoleonic wars and the Roman Empire.
The university said it was “reshaping” its curriculum and research following a £3m cut in Government funding"

Geez, just shut the whole department down if you're going to do something that stupid. Move what you have left to another University. What a joke.

Full article here.

I suppose the Electrical Engineering department will ignore teaching "Direct Current" and just concentrate on "Alternating Current" in order to save money.

For once I Agree With The Taliban

What kind of sick joke is it that Zero wins a Noble Peace Prize? He hasn't done diddly. Oh. Right. He's the Dope with The Change. I guess the trash America Tour Impressed the morons who dish this "prize" out.

Someone wake me up when the last crack head leftist maggot infested greasy tressed plastic shoe wearing jackass hippy is dead. It will be cause for dancing in the streets. Meanwhile, the Kenyan relatives in the hut are proud of the "Kenyan" who hasn't done squat for them personally.

Frankly, the committee should take that "prize" and shove it right where the sun doesn't shine. Bringing about "Peace" doesn't involve the US rolling over tits up for dictators.

HA Award - The French Republic

This is a first, a group award to an entire country. Gee, I know this may be an obscure history topic, but besides the US name another country during the Second world war which was instrumental in freeing France from Nazi hordes. The country I'm thinking of is English speaking, and had a population over well over 40 million at the time. I'm wracking my brain, but it seems to me if it wasn't for that rather large fixed floating landmass of an Aircraft Carrier otherwise known as the United Kingdom, which was used as a staging area to amass men and materiels and contributed her own life blood to cause, the French might well now be speaking German to this day.

What's coming up....why June 6th. Oh, my goodness, how time flies...it's the 65th anniversary of the Normandy D-Day landings. Hey, here's a thought, France throws a big "Thank you for saving our asses" celebration. Let's see whom to invite. How about as the 1st people on your guest list, you invite the heads of state of all those who have helped saved your ass? THERE'S a thought. Oh. But if you're whatever passes for the French government you go into a snit and decide that you don't like the head of state of the UK. I wouldn't blame her if she went to the balcony of Buck House and gave the French the finger. Or, I suppose, in her case, fingers. Maybe next time the French can just liberate themselves.

Or perhaps I'm being mean. Maybe they're just sparing her the sight of the blow-job the Obaminator will get from the French people. He's done SO much for them, by comparision.

And as long as we're at it:

Why is the Champs Elysee lined with trees? So the Germans can march in the shade.

WTF?

Excelsior, Fathead

Today's Telegraph points out how screwed up the "Centre for American Studies" at the University of Leicester is if its director, George Lewis thinks Zero is "an intellectual." He also describes the governance of GWBush as a "regime." No bias at the Centre for American Studies is there? It's been a while since I've given one of these out, but this guy merits it.

From the article:

"He [George Lewis] said: "I think the idea of spending a year in Obama's America is probably more appealing to many students than doing so under the Bush regime He is perhaps the first intellectual American president we have had since Woodrow Wilson."

Full article here.

I don't know what this guy means by "we" [unless he is an American, and a stupid one at that] - perhaps "we Kool-Aide drinkers?" Him being so up on American studies, one need not supply the reference to Kool-Aide.

HA Award

Haven't given out one of these in a while.

"Jennifer Davis was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Nov. 18, her contractions just 3 minutes apart. Her husband, John, was trying to appear calm for his wife's sake, driving in the breakdown lane of Route 2. They pulled up behind a state trooper to ask whether they could continue using the lane to reach the next exit, near Alewife Station.

Not only did the trooper say no, he gave them a $100 citation for driving in the breakdown lane, made them wait for their citation while he finished writing someone else's ticket, and even seemed to ask for proof of pregnancy, Jennifer Davis said."

HA Award to stupid priests

One would hope it should never be the case where a priest receives this award, Alas, not so. Rest assured it was not the Sainted Msgr. S., nor the pastor Emeritus, nor any supply priest. Draw your own conclusions.



Fortunately for same no one did waltz off with Communion in *my* line yesterday, because otherwise I'd have ripped not only their lungs out but the lungs of the party in question as well.

I'm back!

Regular posting of this blog resumes today. It was a bitch of a week last week. I can stop tap dancing for a while now.

What? Fisticuffs!

It's been a while since I gave one of these out

You can't make this up - Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests throw down. The full story tells of fists, rods, and brooms being used in the melee. Irritatingly, the report doesn't say which side won the ruckus. Couldn't they have just solved the dispute by playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Jeez, how many years have they been sharing this church? It makes it sound like they couldn't run a lemonade stand!

"Fair use" quote:

"Seven people were injured on Thursday when Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests came to blows in a dispute over how to clean the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.Following the Christmas celebrations, Greek Orthodox priests set up ladders to clean the walls and ceilings of their part of the church, which is built over the site where Jesus Christ is believed to have been born. "

You'd think they'd be able to keep cool. ♪

Who Controls The Past, Controls The Future

There are too many born every minute

In Spain there was a man baptized in the Catholic church as an infant who has rejected the church. Well, that's his right. But does he wish to disassociate himself from the church by simply filing an official notification as the church provides for? No. He takes it upon himself, with the help of idiots in the Spanish court system, to require the Catholic church to destroy his baptismal record and expunge it from the church records. This is altering a historical fact. It is frightening that any government in a supposed democracy would viciously suppress the truth. You can read the full details on Paul's blog entry Thoughts of a Regular Guy: Who Controls The Past, Controls The Future.

One person who commented on his blog suggested that perhaps the church should comply by pasting the court order right to remove the record of the man's baptismal entry right over the baptismal record. There's something to be said for fighting fire with fire.

Apparently, Orwell's Animal Farm is not required reading in the Spanish schools. I do not know if reading that was ever a standard part of the Spanish secondary school curriculum. And I wonder if in the English speaking world this once commonly assigned work is still regularly read by students. The left has so destroyed and infected anything which smacks of development of ideals of western values. A chief value used to be "the objective truth." I wonder if the imbeciles who made this decision realize the extent to which they look like perfect jackasses. Some jackasses, of course, being more equal than others.


Perhaps it might be fun to find out more details of who, exactly, in the Spanish court system made this inane and dangerous decision. It might be fun to flood them with Spanish translation editions of Animal Farm.

How about it? Is reading Animal Farm still a commonly required assignment?
