British prideJuly 27, 2005 10:50 am

Another outstanding piece from the Daily Telegraph entitled Ten Core Values of the British Identity.

In my opinion, we can never remind ourselves often enough of what it is that we, the British, are, what we stand for and what we’ve achieved.

The leftist-liberal influence in our society - the BBC, The Guardian newspaper, the host of parasitical non-government agencies that perpetuate the ‘victim’ culture wherever it operates and, of course, the mentally and morally retarded politicians that make up a substantial part of our political class - has sucked our spirit and nurtured disgust and contempt for our own forefathers and their achievements.

They have promoted a model of society that, in assuming the inadequacy of the individual and the tyranny of the family, has ruined the lives of millions of our people as the government has taken on the roles of parent, employer, sole arbiter of right and wrong, provider of welfare, health, education and dispenser of all wisdom and knowledge.

In the meantime, our people, deliberately deprived of a set of clear and coherent standards flounder in a morass of moral and cultural relativism that leads them, in many cases, onto the path of ruination.

There are many reasons why our country is disintegrating before our eyes and I’ve only touched on a couple of them. Unlike some British conservatives, though, I feel a glimmer of hope simply because I do not believe that we, the British, are the kind of people that will allow things to continue like this for so long that we eventually sink without trace into a bubbling sea of mediocrity and decay. True, we are slow on the uptake (slow to excite, I suppose - a national characteristic) and maybe things have to get pretty bad before we’re prepared to do something about them.

But we are a proud nation and when push comes to shove I believe we’ll shove harder than our enemies.

Here’s the article itself. Please read it all.

London Bombing 9:06 am

Police arrested a man in a house in Birmingham early this morning. He is suspected of being one of last Thursday’s (July 21) London bombers. Three other people were arrested in a seperate house in Birmingham.

They shot the bomb suspect him with a Taser stun gun.

A suspect package was also found and, on the advice of the Army, local residents evacuated. BBC News this morning say the package was blown up in a controlled explosion.

Two other men were arrested in Lincolnshire on a train heading for King’s Cross. They were picked out by two off-duty police officers. Apparently they began their journey in Newcastle.

In other news, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair told Channel 4 News that police have dealt with 250 suicide bomb scares since the July 7 bombings.

In the Brazilian hometown of Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, shot 8 times last week after being mistaken for a suicide bomber, relatives and friends have staged a protest march, demanding arrests be made.

Police are still speculating there may have been a fifth bomber after a bomb was found in a telephone box near Little Wormwood Scrubs on Saturday.

Speculation as to the bombers’ next moves is rife. Possibly they will carry out another attack. Or, bowing to the inevitable - that they’ll be tracked down - they may hole themselves up somewhere, wait for the security forces to arrive and then go out in a blaze of glory, as per the Madrid bombers.
