So.
Two posters from two eras. 1935 and 2016. Germany and Great Britain.
Compare and contrast. It's not so very hard is it? I mean the core
message. Got a few problems in your life? Maybe even more than a few?
And whose fault is that then....?
Then it was the Jews. Now it is the
Muslims. What unites these poisonous images is the fact that at the
time of their publication they were both deemed to be perfectly OK.
Mainstream. The image of the 'Eternal Jew' was produced and pasted
onto a million German walls care of the Government of the day. These
days we don't do much pasting on walls. Well. Not real walls. Instead
we copy and paste onto the virtual walls of the online face we show
the world. I tore this hateful little racist number off such a page.
Take a step back. Have a read. And
absorb 'They suck the western welfare system dry, outbreed to
become a majority, lobby for their own laws and takeover.' How
easy it would be to cut, copy and paste these words and move them
from the 2016 picture to the 1935 picture. If I had copied out these words as a quotation and attributed them to Riechsfuhrer
Josef Goebbels, 1935, would you have questioned it? Of course you
wouldn't have questioned it because it is just kind of poisonous bile 'Joey the
Crip' used to come out with on a daily basis.
There
will always be racist poison leaking up from the sewers. Always has
been, always will be. The time to start worrying is when the sewers
suddenly burst through the pavement and pour a torrent of effluent
onto the street. Into our lives. Into the world.
'Like and share if you are sick
of it'
Like!
For Christ's sake. Oh here is a nice bit of racist ghastliness. Oooh ....I LIKE that. It's absolutely scrummy. In fact I like it so much I'm
going to share it with all my friends. When all is said and done, this
is hardly usual behaviour. I am quite certain that very few who share
these little Fascist messages would in a million years consider
themselves to be Fascists. Oh no. Not even nearly. Instead they are
merely listening to the thoughts of funny old Boris or good old
Nigel. They're not fascists. They're good old boys. A bit of a laugh.
Larger than life. The kind of guys you could imagine having a pint
with. Life and soul. All good knockabout stuff. A breath of fresh
air. Like that Donald Trump.... like that Herman Goering....
We
are three weeks out from the EU Referendum and the race card is being
played with ever greater ferocity. Can't get a house? It's the
immigrants. Can't get a job? Its the immigrants. Can't get an
appointment with your GP? It's the immigrants. Swarms of 'em.
Millions of 'em. Like human cockroaches. Like a plague of locusts.
Not people like you and me. They are different. They are dark of both
skin and heart. Evil basically. When a whole race hatches a plan to
'outbreed' us in order to 'takeover' and steal all of our stuff, well, they
really have to be seriously wicked.
The
next step is to come up with some kind of symbol to publicly brand
these sub humans who are so hell bent on outbreeding us and stealing all
of our stuff. Like a five sided star which can quickly be painted on
a wall by superimposing one triangle on top of another triangle. It's
all basic stuff from the old playbook. You find a corner shop. You
check out the name over the door. 'Cohen'. You smash the window. You spray 'JUDE' on
the wall. You spray a five sided star on the wall. Job done. And when one night
everyone gets themselves onto the same page and smash a million
windows, you call it Kristalnacht.
'By the pricking of my thumbs,
something wicked this way comes....'
Oh
yeah. Something wicked is headed our way. When good people seriously
think it is OK to put this kind of racist filth on their Facebook
pages, we can know for certain that wickedness is headed our way. You
start with laugh a minute lads like Boris and Nigel and Herman and
before you know it five million people go up the chimney.
I
can't begin to say how sick I am of hearing people compare this EU
hatefest with the Scottish Indyref. Such comparisons suggest that
Vote Leave are akin to 'YES'. For Christ's sake. I saw Boris on the
news last night doing his clown act for the good folk of Preston. I
recognised the location. He had parked his bus up in front of the
Harris Library. When the cameraman pulled back it became clear that a
vast crowd of about 60 had turned out on a sunny Lancashire afternoon
to listen to the poisonous words of the Etonian mop head. And that is
supposed to be in any way, shape of form like Indyref when the
streets were filled with thousands?
IndyRef
was a genuine mass movement of all generations. It was all about hope
not hate. It was euphoric. It was uplifting. It shocked the
Establishment to the very core of their manipulative beings. It was
people power in the raw. And it took lies told on an industrial scale by Project Fear
to stop 'Yes' in its tracks.
And
of course in the end the hate and the fear were enough to drown the
hope like an unwanted kitten. And people seriously compare the
magnificent optimism of 'Yes' with the malignant hate of 'Vote
Leave.'
It
makes me sick to my stomach.
We're
in for three more weeks of this frantic hate. There will be less and
less talk about sovereignty and the democratic deficit and more and
more talk of the swarm of wickedness that threatens to wash our way
of life away. Of how these sub-humans plan to 'outbreed' us.
And
takeover.
Back
in 1935 there were the maniacs and the opportunists. They all shared
the same black uniforms. Few would argue that the likes of Hitler and
Himmler and Heydrich were maniacs. But Goering and Goebbels? Instead
they were lads who liked the good life. Champagne and Cociane and the
very best of everything. Whilst Himmler perfected his industrial
death machines in Poland, Goering gathered up an art collection to
rival the Tate. Every Adolf needs a Herman. Or a Boris.
But
of course it couldn't happen again. Never. We live in different
times. Better times. Nobody could ever share pictures of foreigners
and claim that there were evil plans afoot to 'outbreed and 'takeover'......
Really?
I think not. The proof of the pudding is in all these homemade
Fascist pearls of wisdom that are appearing on the Facebook pages of
run of the mill decent people.
'Like and share if you are sick
of it'
And
let's not ever forget that Hitler didn't need the help of any tanks to take his
seat in the Reichstag in 1933. He was voted into power fair and
square by tens of millions of normal working Germans who were taught
to blame every problem in their hard lives on the evil scheming Jews.
'Like
and share if you are sick of it'
And
now it matters little which way the vote goes in three weeks time.
The rabid cat is out of the bag and baring its yellow, rotting teeth.
If we stay, there will be more and more pressure on Government to
crack the immigration whip ever louder. And if we leave, then there will be many
who will demand that our restored sovereignty should be used to
initiate a 21st
Century pogrom. Get them out. Send them home. Ethnically cleanse our
green and pleasant land. Ein Volk, Ein Reich. Because when people say
talking about immigration and worrying about immigration isn't racist, they are
absolutely right. It isn't racist. But when people start putting
pictures up on their Facebook walls talking about 'outbreeding', it IS racist. It IS Fascist. It IS the thin end of a wedge that opens the
door onto Auschwitz Birkenau. Which of course could never happen
again. Shame nobody explained that to the lads on the Serbian death
squads at Srebrinica.
'By
the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.'
When
I talk to community groups about the food parcels we hand out, the
audience usually think I am a good bloke until someone inevitably
suggests that things will only get worse and worse with all of these
immigrants coming into the country. So I take a deep breath and do my
best to to point out that it is the 1% who are bleeding the nation
dry and not those who come here to make a better life. And all of a
sudden I am not such a nice guy any more. Expressions harden. Body
language goes all hostile. It would be easier to go with the flow. It
always is. Just ask all those millions of Germans who really thought
it would work out OK and went with the flow.
Going
with the flow is not an option for me. I am a father of two mixed
race sons. They have brown skin. They will always have brown skin.
And who knows where the words of Boris and Nigel will take us. At
first it will be words shouted across the street. 'Why don't you fuck off back to where you came from. You Wog'. And then they start to cross
the street with faces all twisted and contorted with hate. Bad skin
and brown shirts and heavy boots. Kicking and stamping and spitting.
And then dog tags are hung around necks and numbers are issued and blood groups are tattooed onto the insides of upper arms. And ditches are dug. And people are lined up. And crows flap up
from the trees when the stillness of the morning is disturbed by the
sound of the guns.
And
all of a sudden it is all far, far too late. Nigel and Boris are
nothing but distant memories. Old before their time with faces
collapsed by two bottles of gin a day. To ease the all consuming
guilt. To blank out the murderous reality they helped to create. To
hide away for the time when they used hate to further their loathsome
ambitions.
In
the world of Nigel and Boris, God help you if you have the wrong
colour skin or worship the wrong kind of God.
'By
the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.'
I guess I should point out where the quote comes from for those who don't recognise it. Macbeth. The witches looking into the depths of a dark and murderous future.
Thanks for that. It needs said.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I also referenced the Third Reich this morning, before reading your rather more erudite piece.
It's truly disgusting, that, people find that sort of post acceptable.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, it could be the thin end of the wedge, leading to a nightmarish return to the darkest days in human history; let us hope sanity prevails this time.
Project fear, versus project fear; nothing like the independence referendum.
