Rivers of Blood (What The Woolwich Slaughter Says About Our Leadership)
American Rattlesnake ^ | May 23, 2013 | Gerard Perry

Once again, the words of Enoch Powell appear prescient, although perhaps in not quite the way the late British parliamentarian and classicist intended. In the same week that Swedes have been besieged by aggrieved jihadists imported by their own government, Londoners experienced yet another subsidiary benefit of multiculturalism. This time, in the form of a Nigerian convert to Islam ritualistically slaughtering a member of the British Army.

Drummer Lee Rigby, of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was methodically dismembered by an adherent to the Religion of Peace as he walked to his barracks yesterday. The loving father, who had served in Afghanistan, was the latest victim of an alien ideology which has already killed or attempted to kill hundreds, if not thousands, of Britons on their own soil. The perpetrators of this particular atrocity-which echoed an earlier attempt to murder and behead a British soldier in the streets of London-were emulating their countrymen in Nigeria, where Boko Haram, which in Hausa translates to “Western education is a sin,”has turned the northern portion of the country into a charnel house, slaughtering Christians, security forces, women, and anyone else who does not submit to the imperatives of sharia.

The Nigerian government has responded ambiguously, besieging three northern states even as it releases detained members of the ultra-violent, Islamic terror network. How the UK will respond to this atrocity remains to be seen, although the signals emanating from the ruling class-which is in large measure culpable for this sort of barbarity-are not encouraging.

The widely ridiculed British security apparatus responded with undue alacrity. The ahistorical, insipid pabulum put forward by the current empty suit occupying 10 Downing Street was to be expected.

“Our leadership” is quite safe, behind walls and ranks of armed guards.

We peons are the raw material for their fantasy-land experiments.

This is a bit OT, but it also illustrates the futility of gun prohibitions/restrictions.

Even if you can erect a society where criminals and thieves can't acquire firearms-or it's too costly for them to do so-it won't help protect innocent civilians.

In fact, it will just increase the power disparity, because confrontations between ordinary citizens trying to protect themselves and aggressors will come down to the application of brute force.

Someone who makes his living through violence is going to be a lot better at it than his victim. People in South Africa and the UK are in much more danger than people living in a country where you are at least on equal footing with your attacker.

A nation that gives up its right to own arms is no longer a free people, the men have been neutered.

I don’t know who coined this phrase, but it’s very appropriate: “England is a rotting corpse being feasted upon by the bloated maggots of Islam.”

“Our Leadership” is just hoping that they will be the last ones to get slaughtered.

That echoes a statement by Winston Churchill:
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
Churchill himself wouldn’t stand for this kind of nonsense. I doubt he would even stand for people like Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale to be given the dignity of a trial; he would opt for summary punishment for them both.

He was also vehemently opposed to the policy of mass immigration that his successors implemented in office.

The government just keeps turning their heads while they still have them.

“Our leadership” was bought by kiddie brothels,
money, and gifts. In return, they sold out
the American people with a gout of treason.
