It's always gratifying, albeit in a mostly superficial kind of way, to see the Guardian washing the Labour Party's dirty laundry in public.

The United Kingdom's metropolitan ruling elites' discredited irrational ideology of politically correct multiculturalism has spawned more categories of fiction than the Annual Costa Book Awards.

We've got in the major fiction categories, #HateCrime #islamophobia #racism and #homophobia ; alongside of which there's such a plethora of subsidiary categories of proscribed errant thought ,speech and behaviour that would have been the envy of Stalin's Cheka.

On Saturday 2 September  Guardian aka Islington Pravda published their comments on the following Times piece :-

The Rotherham MP has used an interview with the Times to highlight differences in attitudes between the capital and Labour’s northern heartlands.

Labour MP Sarah Champion has declared the “floppy left” is afraid of speaking out on issues such as sex grooming gangs for fear of being branded racist.

Champion last month quit as shadow equalities minister after a backlash for saying “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”.

She told the Times: “If I’m on the floppy left, to be accused of racism is probably the worst thing you can call me. That fear will motivate me to step away from a lot of topics I’d maybe tackle head on if I didn’t have that phobia.”

Her constituency was the scene of a grooming scandal and she said many Labour members and politicians based in London had “never been challenged by a reality that’s different” from their largely “tolerant, multicultural world”

Even a prominent worn out old hacks such as Trevor Phillips - whose entire career was built on the smoke and mirrors of multiculturalism and the promulgation of the cult of equality - has come to the end of his tether with all the decades long spouting of bullshit on this issue by the Labour Party in particular and you can add to that the Liberals,Greens and virtually the entire non-parliamentary Left.

And so it goes. Schadenfreude is in order,don't you think?

Welcome to Stasi Britain. It was reported the other day to much,but not overly much general consternation that, The Home Secretary Amber Rudd had been reported to  ( and was subsequently recorded by ) the Police for having committed  a " hate incident ". No, this is not a spoof. Herewith a concise description as to what constitutes  a " hate crime / incident " in the UK in 2017.

The police and Crown Prosecution Service have agreed a common definition of hate incidents.

They say something is a hate incident if the victim or anyone else think it was motivated by hostility or prejudice based on one of the following things:
disability
race
religion
transgender identity
sexual orientation.
This means that if you believe something is a hate incident it should be recorded as such by the person you are reporting it to. All police forces record hate incidents based on these five personal characteristics.
.
Subsequently pilloried across social media was an Oxford academic, Joshua Wilson, who had made the original complaint against the Home Secretary.It emerged that the aforementioned Physicist had not himself listened to the " offensive " words uttered by Amber Rudd at the time. During the course of the Conservative Party's annual conference in a major platform speech on future prospects and possibilities for the UK labour market once #brexit had actually been achieved,Rudd put forward the proposition that British jobs might go first to British workers. This jobs preference for the British in their own country, by the by has never actually happened in practice,but the idea is probably going to gain genuine appreciable traction some time soon.
And so, on that non-existent legal basis, the #remain campaigner and supporter of antidemocratic sedition, Joshua Wilson reported the speech to the Stasi authorities.Who finding no grounds to prosecute the matter any further as an actual " hate crime " nevertheless recorded Amber Rudd's speech as a " hate incident ". Sane and rational people,irrespective of ideological preference ought to be very afraid at this stage of the proceedings.Likely as not most political activists of many hues aren't driven to manifest nor articulate any concerns about this insidious,totalitarian development within the UK polity.
As for me, I wish to be denounced to the Stasi,hence I've inserted my published missive on the EU. Heck,I even start it with " I hate.." Hello ,anyone watching? reading? Go ahead make my day!
