Anarcho-tyranny in the Unhinged Kingdom

Casualties of the self-defence laws

“The people shouldn’t fear the government. The government should fear the people” goes the oft-quoted libertarian motto. Whilst there is some truth to this, in saying this we should not forget that it is even more crucial to a free and ordered society that something other than the government should fear the people: the criminal class.

Once, this was virtually an axiom in the West-Northern Europe countries which pioneered modern constitutional government. The Anglo-Saxon tradition of Common Law had, as one of its most basic assumptions, the principle that each man has the right and duty to take measures to protect himself, his property, family and the wider community from anti-social and dangerous individuals. Weapon rights were sacred, men were men, women were unmolested and social deviants and vagabonds were scared.

In the modern day, quite the opposite can be assumed. I need only mention the case of Tony Martin, a farmer whose farm was invaded and vandalised frequently by several common hooligans. One night, fearing for his life and wishing to defend his land, he fired at his nocturnal invaders, scaring them off and fatally wounding one of them. He was sentenced to five years in prison (the surviving hooligan got only two), where once he would have been applauded for standing up to bullying criminal low-lives.

We might also consider the more recent case of Mr. Kirby, on which I have already commented. He assaulted a thug when the latter was harassing a lady on the tube. The conductor, deaf to both the lady’s and Mr. Kirby’s earlier pleas for help, was only too willing to listen to the siren wail of the poor,

deprived harassers. He ended up getting community service and having to pay the lout £1000 to assuage his hurt feelings.

If we can detect a common strand, it would have to be that in both cases the original perpetrators of a crime were punished less severely (if at all) than those acting in legitimate self-defence. Both Tony Martin and Mr. Kirby had good reason to fear either for their own life or for the well-being of another innocent. Both the ‘victims’ were thugs and criminals who were attempting to commit some injustice. What is the point of all the West’s much-touted rights to life and liberty if we are denied the means to protect these?

Anti-self-defence laws are a suicide pact, made by those who won’t have to commit suicide for those who will.

‘Blood on their hands’

What then of the police, those who are supposed to defend us in lieu of us being allowed to defend ourselves? Mrs. Woodham might have an answer:

Peter Woodham, a 22-year-old father of one, died outside his home in Canning Town, east London, on Monday.

Mr Woodham was also stabbed in the neck in an attack in January - some believe by the same gang.

Friends of Mr Woodham insist he would still be alive today if detectives had properly investigated January’s attack.

“The police have blood on their hands because the first time they let him down and it’s too late now,” said close family friend Carly Frances.

Mr. Woodham had earlier confronted the gang, which led to his first injury. No doubt, if he had been armed, or well trained or just lucky, and had succeeded in repulsing the aggressors, the police would not have hesitated to intervene and investigate, just as they did in the cases mentioned above.

The community mourns.

The real concerns of the modern police

The modern police are concerned primarily not with punishing those who endanger the lives and property of others, but with those who threaten the politically correct order.

‘Racism’ (non-pc beliefs about races) is punished severely, whilst actual violence is ignored. Indeed, you are less likely to be punished for rioting than for noticing the defining characteristics of the rioters. Fox hunting is strictly banned, whilst vandalism has a blind eye turned to it. WW2 revisionists languish in jail whilst the criminally insane walk the streets.

But all such gross failures of policing and all these lives lost or ruined by yob violence are alright as long as the police do what really matters: root out all possible traces of racism (and race realism) within their both their ranks and of society as a whole, slay the gorgon of sexism, and most assuredly show the old British bulldog fighting spirit to the gremlins of homophobia. I suppose all those whose lives are blighted by mere, unfashionable crime, due to both police negligence of aggressive crime and despotical enforcement of self-defence laws, should console themselves that they are merely eggs who have to be broken in order to create the omelet of a Tolerant, Non-judgemental Multiculti Britain.

New commission launched (we were never at war with Oceania)

As she launched a Commission on Integration and Cohesion, she urged a “new and honest” debate on diversity.

The body, which will start work next month, will look at how communities in England tackle tensions and extremism.

In order to deal with the inevitable fallout of multiculturalism and bureaucratic meddling in the native culture of Britain, the Minister for Communities proposes creating a Commission dedicated to promoting more multiculturalism and more bureaucratic meddling in our culture. Like all pc-niks, she is a Cultural Marxist and every bit as dogmatic in her ideology as the Marxists of earlier years, who to refused to change course thought their current one had already speckled their hands with blood.

“Multiculturalism hasn’t failed. Socialism hasn’t failed. We were always at war with Oceania.”

Our Multi-culti, suicide pact future.
