The country can have as much opposition as it is willing to pay for

Woodcraft Folk (“a Left-wing version of the Scouts and Guides” in the print Telegraph’s unimprovably surreal formulation) is organizing students to riot against the Con-Dem cuts.:

The Woodcraft Folk will join forces with protests from students and lecturers on Thursday as Parliament holds a crucial vote on the Con-Dems’ tuition fees rise.

The group is a national co-operative educational charity which offers a left-wing equivalent to the Scouts and Guides.

Along with other more standard youth group activities, it encourages members to make their voices heard by joining in demonstrations up and down the country over issues that affect young people.

Still, it could be worse for the “left-wing Scouts and Guides” (does that mean they take kids into the woods and read them passages from Das Kapital? From Trevor Phillips’ latest speech?). The C-D coalition might have decided to cut their funding.

That is something the “left-wing Scouts and Guides” share with much social opposition in the West - it is government funded. It is inane enough here, where the government funds a youth organization whose main activity is to complain that not enough money is being spent on the youth. It is much the same trick as the one endlessly pulled by the Racial Equality Commission and by the Equality Commission and all their predecessors and successors. The government funding complaints about there not being enough government funding is nothing new. Perhaps only in Cornwall or Wales, where government money is supporting an otherwise entirely inviable project to maintain local languages, does this rise in perniciousness above the usual alliance of pc and bureaucratic empire building and rent seeking.

The rule is simple and almost always holds, at least in the West: protests from the left are government-funded. Protests from the right, such as the EDL, are not. And that is because the left is a creature of the state.

In this case, however, the rioters have relatively little sympathy in the country at large. The pc crime-stop filter in people’s heads just does little to protect students or fire hydrant wielding left-wing Scouts and Guides.

Pc pays because the government funds and supports it. It funds and supports it because politicians, even those that see an electoral advantage to go against it, are scared of offending against it. Risible throwbacks that call themselves “left-wing Guides and Scouts” will serve to make this relationship clearer because more entertaining, and so expedite its end.

A “left-wing Guide and Scout” reacting to being told that he’d now have to read the other half of Das Kapital.

One problem the students, and woodcraft folk, face in their battle for public sympathy is that they are overwhealmingly white and middle class. They are fair game for any piss taking going. Thats when they come face to face with the political paradox they have helped to build. If white people are crap what happens when those PC white people themselves want something doing?

Check out the Woodcraft Folk website and the gallery. Oh please look at the gallery, thats too priceless! I can’t quite put my finger on it, but, you know some unfairly put upon demographics seem to be almost entirely absent.

You can just imagine the desperate, palable longing for girls like Jess to step and do something, anything! Like all other non-whites in the gallery, she is of course mixed, Im betting dad is white. Any takers?. No full africans, asians to be seen anywhere. An uncharitable observer might almost think they don’t even care about this stuff.

See the late Trevor Baker and his tee-shirt. Im guessing he was blind, note the stick, and didnt realise that his beloved woodfolk resemble the Hitler Youth to a vastly greater degree than the witless PC fantasy his t-shirt celebrates.

They don’t realize yet that their society is built around taking from them (European middle class), either. I believe they will soon enough, but given the typical UK attitude that has prevailed for roughly 200 years, they will submit to almost any indignity and abuse, unless by fate an outside force intervenes.

The Woodcraft people aside, I think we on the right should be welcoming to leftist people that feel a yearning for Old Culture, Traditionalism etc, without them having to become staunch conservatives to boot.

Liberal types in the media can also hunger for their heritage and history. Their existence per se is a sign of cracks in the PC wall.
