ANIMAL FARM & 1984
GEORGE ORWELL'S PROPHECIES MADE FLESH IN
BROWNS BRITAIN

Picture
In the same week that the British government announced they are to raise the retirement age from 65 to 66 in 2024, and again in 2034 to 67, a newly released survey stated that a majority of over 50's interviewed want to carry on working past the present retirement age. All well and good, until you dig a little deeper and find out the survey of 1500 people was carried out by the Equality and Human Rights Commission – a government funded Quango, in the pockets of said government! What an amazing coincidence – the very week the government tells us we must work until we drop, up pops a government funded survey which says: “yes, the peasants think so, too!” 

What the headline does not tell you, is that many of those interviewed cannot afford to retire, due to economic circumstances. By all means, scrap the law which says you MUST retire at 65: but do not keep moving the state pension goalposts, forcing workers to slave into their twilight years when eight million adults in Britain  - that’s one in five – are, for whatever reason, NOT in work – or “economically inactive”. The English Radicals believe that our forebears fought too long and hard for a reasonable retirement age, to let this herd of political imbeciles take it from us. We are having to work longer because they are squandering our pension fund on foreign wars, propping up the EU, and paying eight million people to sit at home, while my 69 year old father in law still gets up at four a.m. five days a week, to work in a supermarket bakery. 

Projected income tax revenue for 2010 (£140 billion) is now less than the amount required to fund benefit payments (£165 billion), according to figures taken from the Daily Telegraph, 26/06/09. If we still had a manufacturing industry, a coal mining industry, and the various other businesses lost that used to provide employment before slave wage economies swamped our markets with cheap goods, and put our people out of work, those revenue and spending figures would be reversed.

It seems to us that New Labour have taken the books “Animal Farm” and “1984” as instruction manuals, instead of the warnings our radical forerunner George Orwell intended them to be. In Animal Farm, the Pigs are quite happy for the other animals to work themselves to death, as long as they and their supporters can keep their own pampered lifestyles. When elderly men and women are having to work past 65, and a million able bodied young NEETS (Not in Employment, Education or Training) are sat idle either through lack of work or incentive, then something is very wrong. 

As for 1984? The UK has more CCTV cameras per head of population than anywhere else in the world.  You can be imprisoned for 42 days without even being charged. You face fines for your wheely bin lid not being closed. Motorists fined for blowing their nose while stationary in traffic jams. Council officials can enter your home without a warrant. Your children monitored at school for racist or homophobic remarks. You now cannot legally photograph a policeman or government building. British police forces are looking to buy the same robot spy planes as used by the CIA in Afghanistan to attack tribal wedding parties – sorry, the Taliban. England, a free country? Not until we chase these Piggies off the Farm, it ain't!



LIVIN' IN A BANKSTERS PARADISE

Picture
The visit you have been dreading for months is taking place. Big Sam, from the farm across the water, is striding up the path towards your front door. He stops, and knocks roughly with his boot. With a heavy heart, you open the door to see what he wants. As if you didn't know. “Now see here, Brumville, I'm a-wanting to buy your ranch, and kick your family out, and I mean to have it. Trouble is, I ain't got no money. Know where I can borrow me some?”, he laughs. .

“Why, yeah!” comes a reply from your barn – the voice of your ranch hand. “You know the bank in the town – the one Mayor McJudas saved from collapse last year with our money? They're rolling in the stuff now, and they ain't proud who they lend to, either!”

Big Sam's face twists into a cheesy grin on hearing this news. He tips his hat to you, and says: “Well, it's been a pleasure talking to you suh, but I gotta go now, and talk to a man about money – be seein' ya! Hey, ranch hand! Let me buy you a beer when you get finished here!”

The above is a work of fiction. However..............

If there were any lingering doubt that the lunatics are running the asylum that is England, there can be none now, with the news that the British government is allowing American multinational Kraft to buy out Cadbury – a profitable English company with 6,000 employees in this country – with money borrowed from RBS, the Scottish bank rescued by Gordon Brown's Labour government with our taxes. In effect, the neighbours we helped in their time of need, are now happily stabbing us in the back by lending money to our competitors, who will use it to buy our confectionery industry, sack the English workers and outsource those jobs abroad.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also classic examples of global capitalism gone crazy – profitable English clubs with no debt to talk of, that were bought out by American businessmen with borrowed money, now in debt to the tune of hundreds of millions.

These examples illustrate everything that is wrong with our weak government and the system of global capitalism, that we in England are told is such a great thing. Great for whom? The bankers and deal makers stand to gain financially. Cadbury shareholders will gain financially, as will T-Rex lookalike Todd Stitzer, the American (what a coincidence!) CEO of Cadbury, who it is estimated will be paid off to the tune of £7 million and a fat pension pot. The 6,000 English Cadbury workers almost certainly face redundancy, their families and communities financial hardship.

Meanwhile, the English confectionery industry will join all the other English industries that have gone to the wall in recent years, because successive British governments have consistently refused to invoke protectionist measures – steel, coal, fishing, manufacturing – in the name of “Free Markets”. Business, like War, is an arena where playing fair and settling for second place will not get you a silver medal, it will get you destroyed - fighting dirty gets results. If you get cornered by a mugger who's waving a knife at you, are you going to shake his hand and wish him the best of luck, or are you going to pick up that broken bottle and even the odds?

The Free Market is all very well in principle, but when your national interest is threatened and foreign competitors are trying to destroy you, why shouldn't a your government step in and ban the sale of a company - and why shouldn’t you slap extra tax on imported goods?

Can you imagine the French government allowing this to happen? No? Then why are we?

REAL APOLOGIES PLEASE

Picture
The British government, through its mouthpiece Mike O'Brien (Health Minister – no, I'd never heard of him either) is apologising to the victims of Thalidomide for the pain and suffering caused to them by its prescription to their mothers fifty years ago. This is shortly after the British government apologising for the slave trade of over 200 years ago – what's next? The Bubonic Plague? The Crusades? The Norman conquest?

Quite apart from the lesson that governments and the medical profession are often mistaken in their judgements about the safety of drugs and “terror diseases” like Swine Flu, the English Radicals ask: why apologise for something you HAVEN'T done, when there are a hundred things you SHOULD apologise for? For instance:

The thousands of British, Iraqi and Afghan dead, as a result of our devotion to America and their desire to control Iraqi oil and the Afghan poppy crop?

The thousands of English “A” level students who won't get a University place next year, because the British government would sooner fund war in Afghanistan than education?

Our continued membership of the EU, when the majority of English people want out?

Labour’s refusal to have referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, an election manifesto pledge?
 
The scandalous taxation on private pensions, while the cost of taxpayer-funded public sector pensions is going through the roof?

The 88 year old English war hero Spitfire pilot John Mejor, forced to sell his home and make his elderly wife homeless, to pay for his medical care?

The Mosedale family returning to their Tottenham home to find it full of Romanian “asylum” seekers, who have a “tenancy agreement” from a scam merchant, and so cannot be evicted?

The fishermen of England, who watch European super trawlers steal their catch every day and ship it straight to Europe?
 
The coal miners of England, who, unarmed, were forced to face police cavalry to try and save their industry after Scargill and Thatcher decided to have a class war?

The car makers of England, watching their factories being dismantled and shipped to China?

The steel makers of England, as they watch their Teesside steel mill mothballed?

The people of England are facing the same fate as the American Indian – a proud, brave race forced into reservations (council estates) their buffalo (jobs) all gone, with only “fire water” (coke and smack) to dull the pain of their existence, with little prospect of breaking the cycle of despair. That's why we are radicals: we can see the problems, and we have the answers. 

ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO FOLLOW US? 
 

 


SAVING THE PLANET NEEDN'T BE SO TAXING

Picture
How hypocritical are the world’s leaders that gathered in Copenhagen to discuss climate change? They fly to Copenhagen in practically half empty aircraft, use large gas guzzling limousines to travel around and no doubt consume vast amounts of food that has clocked up thousands of food miles. So much for really caring about the environment!

The English Radical Alliance believes that in the technological age in which we now live, this, and many other international conferences, could be carried out by video conferencing. This would be more environmentally friendly and allow politicians to stay in their own country should an emergency occur there. However the world’s leaders would then have to do without the substantial perks attending international conferences bring!

We are not going to enter the climate change slanging match which currently exists. The evidence states that global warming is a natural phenomenon and history shows the Vikings were on the move from Scandinavia in the 9th & 10th centuries because rising sea levels were flooding their agricultural heartlands. At the same time evidence also shows that that mankind has had some impact upon climate change.

The English Radical Alliance distances itself from this argument. We want a cleaner and greener world and our own environmental policies and unequaled investment in research and development into green technology would deliver this and create an eco-friendly industrial revolution for England. We could then export this technology across the world, which would be good for the English economy and beneficial to the future of the planet. This is common sense.

Compare this to the hypocrisy of the government and the other parties.  How eco-friendly is it to allow the privatised train companies to price people out of carriages and back into cars? How eco-friendly is it to allow large supermarket chains such as Tesco and Asda to destroy local shops?  How eco-friendly is it to talk about the environment and creating jobs in new technologies and then support globalisation and flooding the English market with imported products manufactured using severe environmentally damaging forms of production? How eco-friendly is it to look at our emissions and think the best way of lowering these is to ship endless tons of plastic across the world to China where it is burnt, thus keeping our emissions lower but still polluting the atmosphere? The words spoken and promises made at Copenhagen by our politicians are cheap, the taxes we will all have to pay as a result of it will not be so cheap!

Many of those that generally do care about the environment often turn to the Green Party. Yet the Greens are also a party of eco-hypocrites with policies that seem to want us to do everything short of returning to the Stone Age in order to save the planet. However the Greens are reluctant to tackle many of the social problems that contribute to damaging the environment and believe in uncontrolled mass immigration! How green is it to want England to be swamped with more car driving immigrants with more of our green and pleasant land being buried beneath bricks and mortar to house them? The answer not very green at all!

As mentioned earlier the English Radical Alliance has a practical, common sense approach to saving the planet. Regrettably all the other parties do not share our common sense approach. They look at climate change and just see it as another way of raising taxes from an already heavily burdened taxpayer. The English Radical Alliance are not hypocrites. We will not bury our heads and ignore climate change like others and we will not make impossible and unnecessary sacrifices as the Greens would like us to do. We oppose globalisation, as this is driving many English companies, particularly in small manufacturing industries, out of business and at the same time increasing pollutants into our atmosphere. We favour economic protectionism and support for local economies. This would give preference to home produced and often local goods.

The English Radical Alliance does not favour taxation as a way to a greener and cleaner land.  After all where have these green taxes been spent? Probably on bailing out a bank and paying bonuses to failed financial executives or lavish fittings for MP’s residences. We favour investment in green technology, making England the world leader in this new field. Under Labour we have merely dipped our toes in the water of this emerging industry and under the Tories it would be no different. With this toe dipping approach we shall forever be  a follower and not a leader, and we shall continue to import goods and technology from abroad at the cost of English jobs.

If England was to invest in the research, development and production of green technology, the technology of tomorrow, this would herald a new industrial revolution for our country. It would create jobs and business opportunities and at the same time contribute to the greener and cleaner world we all want without taxpayers having to pay the burden. The other parties only talk about the environment. Only the English Radical Alliance has the green policies and will to deliver.


ACHTUNG! ATTENZIONE!

Picture
As of the First of December 2009 (mark it well) the Lisbon Treaty came into force throughout Europe. Here are a few things the British government decided you didn’t need to worry about when they signed it.


COLLECTIVELY, MEMBER NATIONS OF THE EU WERE ITS MASTERS.

THE LISBON TREATY MAKES THE EU MASTER OF ALL ITS MEMBERS.

YOUR NEW PRESIDENT IS A MAN YOU’VE NEVER VOTED FOR, OR EVEN HEARD OF.

THE EU IS CENTRALISING POWER, WHEN POWER NEEDS LOCALISING.

Napoleon and Hitler would be very proud of what their successors have achieved.

Trickery by the back door has achieved what open battle failed to deliver: a Europe ruled by faceless bureaucrats who answer to no-one, thanks to the treaty we were denied a vote on. You know, the one Labour promised us a referendum on at the last election? Just in case you felt like trusting them again.

It is surely now only a matter of time before we are forced to adopt the Euro.

Is this version of Europe really what our Grandparents fought and many died for?

The people of England have been sold down the river by BRITISH politicians from every major party, whose agenda from the start has been to trap us in just such a way as they have now. They love the EU, it’s a gravy train for them after national politics. There’s a long list of failed British politicians with their snouts in the European trough, paid for by us. 


The ENGLISH RADICAL ALLIANCE campaigns for an independent England, out of the dis-United Kingdom and the EU, but also for protective policies to help our declining industrial base, and keeping our service personnel out of foreign wars. In these maddening times where all the other parties support global corporations, big business, stealth taxes, foreign wars and political correctness, the English Radical Alliance is a lone voice of sanity, radical reform and fairness. We are the only real alternative for the electorate of England.

The English Radical Alliance honours our fallen service personnel

Picture
The English Radical Alliance honours our fallen service personnel in all conflicts. We send our condolences to families, friends and partners that have lost loved ones fighting for 'Queen and country'. At the same time we send our respect and support to members of our armed forces that have been injured or disabled in action.

Politicians start wars - not soldiers, and like many friends and families of fallen servicemen we feel war should only be an option where the interests of the people of England are threatened.  

ERA SUPPORTS ENGLISH JOBS FOR ENGLISH WORKERS

Picture
Year after year the ordinary working people of England have suffered under both Labour and Tory governments. Businesses have been sold off to foreign asset strippers or relocated to the lands of cheap labour. Meanwhile there has been as mass influx of economic migrant workers to create a cheap labour market.

The English Radical Alliance campaigns to protect English businesses, English jobs and the English economy. We will impose economic protectionist policies to ensure our industry and our businesses survive and introduce training programmes to eliminate the skill shortage we currently face.

We will make English jobs for English workers a reality and not just a slogan!

ERA TO LAUNCH THE
'RED RIBBON WEEKEND'
Radical Education and Training in a Family Friendly Environment

Picture
Every political party needs good officers, and the English Radical Alliance is no exception. This is the reason why ERA is launching the 'Red Ribbon Weekend', a combination of lectures and training in specific subjects in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere.

As well as providing vital education for potential party officers and official candidates, the Red Ribbon Weekend will also offer every member the opportunity to socialise with a few drinks in the bar or around the camp fire. Other activities such as hiking, navigational skills and even some elements of 'bushcraft' may also be available for those interested.

The venue for the Red Ribbon Weekend will rotate each year, with venues on Dartmoor in Devon and Scarborough in Yorkshire already on the list. Camping, bunkhouse and b&b accommodation will be available.

More details on the Red Ribbon Weekend to follow.


RADICAL THINKING

AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION OR FOOD WARS?

Picture
The Royal Society has just released a report that says global food production will have to rise 50% by the year 2050, to ensure that the world’s population has enough to eat. Surely, it makes more sense to curb population growth globally, to fit the food supply we have now? Already, a billion people around the world do not have enough to eat: growing population levels will only aggravate the problem.

Consider also the emerging giants of India and China: massive populations with improving wages, demanding more and better food, and being able to pay for it. More people chasing food = higher prices. We take cheap imported food for granted in this country, but when the Pound is falling and the value of the Asian currencies are rising, that competition means the food we import will cost us more. With our terminally ill economy, it means our imported food bill will go through the roof.

With global warming and rising sea levels, land mass will also reduce, and with it food production. Again, more pressure to find enough food to feed ourselves.

Adding to the problem is the trend for converting grain crops to bio-fuels: what right have we to do that, while empty stomachs need that grain for bread? Because of an EU directive from 2003, England will need to increase its food production by 5%, as it is stated that 5% of EU members fuel consumption must be from bio-fuels, which will increase in 2010, This makes producing bio-fuels more profitable than producing food. However these 'business-fascist' antics of the EU care little for the ordinary people who will face hunger - just as long as the bank balance of the few remains fat.

We are in a particularly vulnerable position here in England as the most densely populated nation in Europe. If things continue as they are, the inevitable food shortages mean rationing will have to be brought in, and our children will be going to bed hungry. Perhaps now would be a good time to question how and why population levels are so high in this country, and how we feed everyone in it?

We’ve had the Industrial Revolution, for all the good it did us long term: the English Radicals accept that England may never again be a major industrial nation – we are too far behind the leaders to catch up. The challenge now, is to start an Agricultural Revolution. If England can feed itself, it will be doing far better than the nations who cannot. Believe me when I say, wars will be fought over food (and water) supply, just as they are now over oil. As an island, we are in a much stronger position to defend our food than many. Just thank God we don’t have a  hungry “Tiger” on our doorstep.

SOME PROPOSALS TO COUNTER THE COMING FOOD CRISIS

By changing present economic incentives, stabilise population levels in England, with a view long term to reducing population levels. Immigration to be greatly reduced.

After leaving the EU, enforce fishery protection in English waters.  

Also after leaving the EU, re-establish stronger trading links with the large agricultural Commonwealth nations, such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Start utilising derelict land to create urban farms, and encourage local unemployed people to work them.
