oday Paul Weston, chairman of the party Liberty GB and candidate in the 22 May European Elections in the South East, has been arrested in Winchester.
At around 2pm Mr Weston was standing on the steps of Winchester Guildhall, addressing the passers-by in the street with a megaphone. He quoted this excerpt about Islam from the book The River War by Winston Churchill:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.

Sign of the times.
Once, Winston Churchill saved Great Britain from the slavering hordes.
Now he’d be arrested for even attempting the same thing.
Yet another sterling example of what happens when society accepts one ‘lesser evil’ at a time. Incrementalism at it’s finest. Arrested for quoting the greatest Englishman in 1000 years.
But we never EVER have to worry about something like that happening here though...
I hope Weston wins. It would be a statement that civilzation is alive and well there.
If anyone would do the same on Times Square, he’d probably be accused of a hate crime.
People, especially Muslims, do not want to hear the truth. The Day of Judgement will be terrible when the truth must be faced.
This is basically an illustration of Winston’s quote.
It’s my understanding that Mohammedans really do not like to be thusly referred to.
Its a symptom of the collapse of Great Britain - lack of confidence and faith in one’s own culture.
Scotland will soon leave, and will probably be followed by Wales in 5-10 years.
What was he charged with? Can the police just take him away like that because one disgruntled creep complains? It took them FORTY MINUTES to decide to put him in the Black Maria & drive off? Has he been heard from?
In America, college students are harassed for passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution.
In Britain, a man is arrested for quoting Winston Churchill.
And everyone wonders why gun sales are skyrocketing here. Thank G-d I’m on this side of the `pond’.
Sadly, there was a lot of anti-Semitism among the Brits. Remember the problems between the Jews and Brits in Palestine right after WWII leading to the foundation of the state of Israel?
See the 1960 movie “Exodus” if you haven’t yet.
“But we never EVER have to worry about something like that happening here though...”

It would be like worrying that president Kennedy might be assassinated.
The King David Hotel bombing was an attack carried out on July 22, 1946 by the militant right-wing Zionist underground organization the Irgun on the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, which was housed in the southern wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. 91 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured.
Indeed. By Irgun. That’s one of the most dramatic and effective scenes in the movie.
Perhaps. . .but if the guy was quoting anti-Semite remarks by Churchill he would not be arrested, and given the anti-Semitic nature of Europe and the UK, praised.
Sad but true.
Exactly. This is America. that only happens in other places.
We can say what we want without fear here. First amendment and free speech! Now if you will excuse me I have to get back to learning what to call people of different ethnicities this week so as not to offend a white liberal and lose my job..
The British are just going to have to make Winston Churchill a non-person. Whatever contributions that Churchill made to the history of England are just going to have to be written out.
Then anyone who tries to quote Churchill is going to be met with a blank stare and “Winston WHO?”
And the process of creating “alternate history” is going on right now, every day.
Just look at how that cowboy hero, Cliven Bundy, got pretty successfully dismembered, just a few days ago.
This country used to LIKE its cowboys. Now, this is pretty much gone with the whole Code of the West.
Though the Code of the West was always unwritten, here is a “loose” list of some of the guidelines:
Don’t inquire into a person’s past. Take the measure of a man for what he is today.
Never steal another man’s horse. A horse thief pays with his life.
Riding another man’s horse without his permission is nearly as bad as making love to his wife. Never even bother another man’s horse.
Defend yourself whenever necessary.
Look out for your own.
A cowboy is loyal to his “brand,” to his friends, and those he rides with.
Remove your guns before sitting at the dining table.
Don’t make a threat without expecting dire consequences.
Never pass anyone on the trail without saying “Howdy”.
When approaching someone from behind, give a loud greeting before you get within shooting range.
Don’t wave at a man on a horse, as it might spook the horse. A nod is the proper greeting.
After you pass someone on the trail, don’t look back at him. It implies you don’t trust him.
Never order anything weaker than whiskey.
Always fill your whiskey glass to the brim.
Always drink your whiskey with your gun hand, to show your friendly intentions.
Drinking on duty is grounds for instant dismissal and blacklisting.
A cowboy doesn’t talk much; he saves his breath for breathing.
No matter how weary and hungry you are after a long day in the saddle, always tend to your horse’s needs before your own, and get your horse some feed before you eat.
Cuss all you want, but only around men, horses and cows.
Complain about the cooking and you become the cook.
Do not practice ingratitude.
A cowboy is pleasant even when out of sorts. Complaining is what quitters do, and cowboys hate quitters.
Always be courageous. Cowards aren’t tolerated in any outfit worth its salt.
A cowboy always helps someone in need, even a stranger or an enemy.
Never try on another man’s hat.
Be hospitable to strangers. Anyone who wanders in, including an enemy, is welcome at the dinner table. The same was true for riders who joined cowboys on the range.
Never wake another man by shaking or touching him, as he might wake suddenly and shoot you.
Real cowboys are modest. A braggart who is “all gurgle and no guts” is not tolerated.
Be there for a friend when he needs you.
Give your enemy a fighting chance.
Never shoot an unarmed or unwarned enemy. This was also known as “the rattlesnake code”: always warn before you strike. However, if a man was being stalked, this could be ignored.
Never shoot a woman no matter what.
Consideration for others is central to the code, such as: Don’t stir up dust around the chuckwagon, don’t wake up the wrong man for herd duty, etc.
Respect the land and the environment by not smoking in hazardous fire areas, disfiguring rocks, trees, or other natural areas.
Honesty is absolute - your word is your bond, a handshake is more binding than a contract.
Live by the Golden Rule.
