On the Daily Politics last 15 April, Chris Mouncey, who blogs under the name of Devil's Kitchen, got torn a new fundament by Andrew Neil. He was forced to apologize for one of his many vituperative blogs and emerged to offer his resignation as leader of the Libertarian Party, membership 450.
In other words, he was held publicly accountable for statements he had made, and bottled it. In a subsequent grovelling blog he explained that he now had something to lose, to wit a job in which he is doing well, and regretted the intemperate language and personal viciousness of some of the blogs he wrote when things were not going so well for him.
Today he teed up on Burning our money, another blogger, for allegedly demonstrating bigoted ignorance about immigration (see More bollocks about immigration). Once again Mouncey lets his personal life do the talking. His American wife had an appalling time obtaining residence, so he denounces Britain's laberynthine immigration rules, which 'the government keeps changing - sometimes retrospectively - in order to pander to the depressingly large number of hysterical, ignorant bigots who reside in this piece-of-shit country'.
That would be the government that deliberately opened the doors to unlimited (non-EU) immigration, specifically to alter the electoral demographics in its favour. Perhaps I am insufficiently attuned to the nuances, but doesn't Mouncey's point of view coincide exactly with Gordon Brown's, carelessly expressed into an open microphone?
It is not only perfectly legitimate, it is libertarian for a community to set its own rules and to require obedience to those rules from all who wish to join the community. If there is not at least a minimum of cultural consensus, there is no prospect of the uncoerced self-governance that is the libertarian ideal.
When the Labour Party set out to alter the demographics in its favour, it assumed that the immigrants would become clients, and that the reaction against it by the indigenous population would take a sufficiently unpleasant form to burnish the Labour Party's self-image as the keepers of the 'progressive' flame.
What the Labour pukes did not anticipate was that the unpleasant form the reaction took would be the BNP, which is the Labour Party with added racism, in previously safe Labour constituencies where the pressure on services, schools and housing became unbearable.
To condemn as 'hysterical, ignorant bigots' those who accurately perceive that their situation has been altered for the worse by mass immigration is projection. It is those who dismiss their legitimate concerns who are hysterical and ignorant, and nakedly authoritarian to boot.

This mouncey sounds like a cock. If he hates this piece-of-shit-country so much why doesn't he just GTF out of it and STFU.
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy. And why was his wife, who blogs as Bella Gerens, so determined to live here that she married him as a last resort? My sadness about where this society is going stems from guilt that the legacy of my generation has been so squalid. We were given every advantage, and we blew it.
ReplyDeleteAs the comments on the Kitchen site indicate, the US has almost equally confusing migration laws,due partly to conflicting interests and the inability of politicians to publicly offend anyone, especially a member of a voting bloc. Obama has fed into this no-win area recently by ignoring the attempts of the state of Arizona to bring their own lax regulations into line with the federal statutes and accusing that state of bias against Mexicans (one third of their population). They had 240 kidnappings last year - of Mexicans by other less-legal Mexicans, so they are not just protecting Anglos, are they.
ReplyDeleteMousing posts a large picture of himself gazing down dyspeptically from an Olympian hillock.
He must have got the 'Devil' soubriquet from some elder lady as prodigal of flattery as she was anxious of younger company. He will have to give that up now for his female warlock. All the best, Mousing.
