Arizona Central reports that:

Thirty illegal entrants were found in a vehicle that had been made up to look like a U.S. Border Patrol transport van, authorities said.

The vehicle was seized Wednesday near San Miguel on the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation about 70 miles southwest of Tucson.

Sir Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, only just ennobled, not yet detached from his political roots, not yet one of the great and good:-

It is a great honour and nice to be associated with a part of Kent where I live and where the countryside and traditional villages are so wonderfully and uniquely Kentish.  I will be fighting Kent’s corner in the Lords.  Of course, to all my friends, colleagues and people in Kent I hope I remain just Sandy.

Now, it happens that Kent’s corner includes an impressive clutch of selective Grammar Schools that have been fighting for their existence for forty years.

So, surely the new Conservative peer must want to see Kent’s precious senior schools protected from the egalitarians and social engineers?  He must be a believer in the good Conservative principle of rewarding ability?  And that of parental choice.

But here’s Lord Bruce Lockhart after a few months of exposure to the ermine and altruism:-

Proactive admissions policies could be used to establish a better ethnic balance in schools.  In towns where the totality of the minority ethnic population is 15 per cent of the whole, we should consider the use of numbers in admissions policies.

We have to get to a situation where people regard the total ethnicity of a town as being represented in schools, otherwise we are never going to be properly integrated.

Children start off being colour-blind and this is a wonderful thing.  But if you have schools where the children are being educated in different ethnic groups you are going to lose that and you are simply not going to have integration.

If we are to have stable communities and to prevent the rise of the far Right, our job now is to put all these issues on the table and open a public debate.

The first question I would ask is precisely how “just Sandy”, the Conservative councillor and all round good guy, metamorphosed into a MultiCult leftist.

WOAI News reports that:

More than fifty immigrants were taken into custody Wednesday after a raid at a west side home. Police were called to the home on Senisa Street after they received a tip about stolen cars. When they arrived, they saw four people running from the house. They looked inside the “stash house” and found 51 illegal immigrants - 38 men, 12 women and a teenage girl – all crammed into three bedrooms.

How dare the racist police raid people who are demonstrating their character by making the most out of their living space, working for less than minimum wage and support higher rents to their landlords?  Yes yes, we’ve heard from the hate groups about so-called “social externalities”... but just let them keep in mind that they may soon be imprisoned for hate speech—in prisons where “sexual pressure ushers, guides or shepherds the process of sexual awakening” quoting the government’s study of so-called “prisoner rape”.

The London Review of Books held a greatly over-subscribed debate at the end of last month on the Walt & Mearsheimer paper.  Its title was “Israel Lobby: Too much influence on US foreign policy?”  It took place in the Great Hall of the Cooper Union. The panellists were Shlomo Ben-Ami, Martin Indyk, Tony Judt, Rashid Khalidi, John Mearsheimer and Dennis Ross, and the moderator was Anne-Marie Slaughter.

In the eighth decade of her life Fay Weldon, one time high-profile feminist author and playwright, the child of divorcees, mother of an illegitimate child, briefly a prostitute, twice-divorced herself, has arrived at this view of her sisters:-

The novelist and commentator told an audience at The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival that women were no longer as romantic as they were a generation ago, to the detriment of their happiness.

Weldon, 75, argued that having been liberated by the Pill in the 1960s women were paying the price of trying to behave like men. “Our generation fell in love all the time,” she said. “We sacrificed everything.  Now women are much more practical and hard-headed.  However, in the pursuit of professional, social and domestic fulfilment many women are failing to accept that, hormonally and physiologically, they are programmed to experience life differently from men,” she said.

“I think we need to make the most of being women as women, not aspirational men.  The assumptions we all make now as to what comprises a good relationship are upside down.  The differences between men and females are what we should be celebrating.”

The most undiscussed, but most important, dimension of Robert Putnam’s delayed release indictment of “diversity” ( what I prefer to call “heterosity” ) is covered up by the following line:

People were even more wary of members of their own ethnic groups, as well as people from different backgrounds.

Again, I’m not holding my breath for research into how different ethnicities are variously impacted by such ethnic autoimmune reactions.  Suffice to say I believe it will be found—in that land of our aspirations where freedom of association allows us to support or falsify theory with varying separate societies (real diversity; not heterosity)—that people descended primarily from ancestral environments low in food calorie availability are more vulnerable to turning on their own when mixed with those descended from other environments.  Basically, it is a form of disease experience with biologically pathogenic memes as well as DNA-based replicators.

The latest controversy over Danish cartoonry - young Danish People’s Party activists filmed drawing the Prophet for a laugh - has had the anticipated result.  Danish politicians have rushed around trying to apologise for their, of course, appallingly racist and completely unrepresentative, un-Danish young countrymen ... Moslems all over have been making the obligatory noises.

Actually, there’s a little more to it than that.  Film of the the youth camp was shot by one Martin Rosengaard Knudsen and duly, obediently, lovingly aired on Danish TV.  Knudsen, who doesn’t sound like a very nice liberal, had posed as a Party member for months with the specific aim of causing trouble.  The cartoon drawing was a bit of light-hearted fun at a summer camp organised last August for young Party activists.  But it gave Knudsen his golden chance.

The cartoons were brought to the world’s attention only because a lying little spy had a camera and made it so.  At whom, then, should those always inflammable Moslems be outraged?  Knudsen?  Danish TV?

Erm ... no contest.  The kids, obviously.  And Denmark.  And the kufr everywhere, probably.

And it’s the same with Denmark’s stunningly cowardly and unsteadfast politicians.  If in doubt, always suck up to the Moslem.

You can view Knudsen’s very silly footage here.

A very good day, in fact.  Vlaams Belang’s chairman, Frank Vanhecke, characterised his Party’s local election performance as “a landslide”.  But mindful, no doubt, of the political Establishment’s past record he said, “There is no way to disregard this victory.”

From The Indy:-

Early results showed the party had gained 5.6 percentage points to reach 20.6 per cent in the 308 municipal councils across Flanders, the northern Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, and surged beyond its traditional stronghold in Antwerp.

However in Antwerp itself, Belgium’s second largest city, the party appeared to be simply treading water, winning the same one third of the vote that it captured in the last regional elections. That made it far from clear that the Vlaams Belang, which means Flemish Interest, had made enough progress to force other parties to allow it to share power.

Actually, VB increased its vote share in Antwerp to 33.5%.  Its relegation from first to second place came about through dramatic gains by the Socialists, inspired by their popular mayor Patrick Janssens.  They took 35.3% of the city’s vote, in large measure because support for Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt’s Flemish Liberal Democrats fell away badly.  “The average trend of the Party is not so good,” he said, “We must acknowledge that the government has had a few bad months and we know that whoever leads faces the most fire.”

Now, as before, we will see the anti-Flemish parties in Antwerp form a coalition to keep VB out of power.  The road is a long one for VB.  But these results are their best ever, and demonstrate that that road is being travelled all across Flanders.
