Enoch come back – all is forgiven
I suppose this is old news and you’ve all blogged on this already. It’s the Tzipi Livni arrest warrant. In case anyone missed it:
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called opposition leader Tzipi Livni on Wednesday to voice his opposition to an arrest warrant issued in Britain against her earlier this week, saying that she was welcome in his country any time.
Israel’s government confirmed on Tuesday that Livni had canceled a planned London trip this month after her office received news of a secretly issued arrest warrant awaiting her arrival. Brown added that he intended to take action to change the existing legal parameters that allowed this situation to arise.
I didn’t think I’d ever post this but, “Well done Gordo and your successor, Opposition Leader Millipede.” Quite right too. The pro-Palestinian FCO also did the right thing on this occasion, which was just plain amazing.
George Walden put it this way:
As a piece of legal grotesquerie, the attempted arrest of the former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has its funny side. The biggest joke lies in the role of the UN.
It was the UN Human Rights Council that endorsed the report by the retired South African judge Richard Goldstone on the Gaza conflict, in which Israel as well as Hamas was accused of war crimes.
The fun lies in the membership of this august body, and guardian of all our rights. Currently those empowered to sit in judgment on the Israeli democracy include Cuba, China, Russia, Kirghizstan, Djibouti and Qatar.
While Ms Livni is absent from London, known Islamist terrorists are free to walk the streets, or to sit cosily at home filling in claims for benefits, because the law has made it impossible to convict them without endangering our sources of information.
There it is.
When, oh when, will this country wake up to itself and stop allowing the tail to wag the dog? How in the name of all that is British did a rabid terrorist organization get a British court to issue an arrest warrant against officials from another country on their hate list? What actually went through the judge’s mind who issued this warrant? What was he actually thinking?
This only occupies a few seconds of apoplexy. What causes a much deeper anger, a smouldering, building anger that is distinctly unhealthy for anyone in its way is that these people are running rampant in our country, utiizing our softness, our courts, our welfare benefits and much, much worse, doing it all with absolute impunity.
I tell you – it’s enough to drive someone into the arms of the BNP. Even worse than that, I fear that many usually mild-mannered and tolerant people, accepting people, consider this to be one stream of pee taken way too far. I fear that the Brit is going to snap sometime and it won’t be the rabid pro-terrorists who’ll get it but the ordinary Muslim family. Where will the rabid low-lifes be? Hiding behind their human shields of course.

Apparently all you need is a willing magistrate to issue warrents against anyone you like, british “justice” at its best.
Time to issue one against liar bliar, shagging prescot, mandy, blind ex home secs, current home secs, all judges, bush junior and senior, pope, rothschilds, rockefeller family, UN, IMF, BIS, WHO, all banks, merv king, putin, mevedev, sarkozzzeee, CFR, ECFR, all communists, all BNP, all conservatives, all nulab, ukip, leaders of every african state, obama, brown, jack and the beanstalk, alice in wonderland, cinderella, tin-man, tom thumb, rupert the bear, prince charming, red riding hood, uncle tom cobbly and all.
Amen!
I didn’t get round to mentioning it because the warrant had been cancelled again by the time it hit the news, but I’d have written much the same as what you just did.
England is not The Tartan McReich’s Führer’s country and he has no business, though Jocks think it their McBirthright, interfering in English affairs. By what right does a Scotch carpetbagger invite an Israeli war criminal to England with open arms?
It’s a point.
Scotch is a drink.
It should be Scottish carpetbagger.
And speaking of war criminals, where is the difference between blair and any other war criminal? He/it, seems to come and go as it pleases, earn $millions from international banks who provide back-office functions for drug fund laundering, and it flies in private jets as a “peace envoy”.
NO! This is not a path we should go down!
James,….IT IS NOT A POINT! Your attention to detail is failing!
Tackle the problem internationally, not piecemeal. Piecemeal creates insanity and never-ending vengence.
Debate on blogs should lift its quality.
There! that should wake up a few pidgeons.
Pigeons, Xxxl? Or Walters?
Scotch is the proper adjectival form of Scot in England, as it has always been. Replacing Scotch with ‘Sc*ttish’ or, more rececently, ‘Sc*ts’ (a plural noun to the English and not an adjective), is just another price we English have paid to maintain a ‘union’ that ceased to be of benefit to us about one hundred and fifty years ago. As we rediscover what the Br*tish have stolen from us the term will doubtless become more commonly used.
PS: Higham has quoted me before on Blair’s fate. I have not changed my mind.
re:scotch/scots/scottish
Scots, when used as an adjective, is used to describe the language of the Lowlands, the law (Scots Law) or the people (Scotsman never Scottishman).
Scotch is used to describe products of Scotland, especially food and drink products e.g. Scotch whisky, Scotch beef, Scotch salmon, Scotch ale etc.
Everything else is Scottish.
Of course there are anomalies like Scots Pine and Scotch Mist.
