Pigdogfucker

Europhobic blogger Prodicus has a heartfelt rant on the EU treaty. He thinks we need a referendum on it, even though we don’t normally have referenda in our political system.

The reason why he claims to think this is dressed up in paragraphs of elegant and enraged piffle – but in short, he says that the current treaty represents Parliament permanently and irrevocably giving up our sovereignty to the EU.

Only one problem: this is complete and utter bollocks. Any British parliament convened at any future event can vote – on a simple majority – to revoke the treaty and withdraw from the EU. If UKIP were elected next Tuesday, they could have us out of the EU by Wednesday (obviously the administrative tasks of deporting the foreigners, dealing with retirees evicted from Spain, abolishing human rights, losing our entire financial services industry to Frankfurt and so on would take longer, but the admin’s always a killer…). The same will be true once the new treaty is in force: we do not have to follow the treaty for one second longer than Parliament deems it appropriate for us to do so.

Why the fuck do the likes of Prodicus perpetually spread the lie that the EU, and not Parliament, has the ultimate power? Is it, err, because they don’t actually have any sane grounds to oppose the EU so need to make shit up…?

I’m not a fan of the burqa: it’s a silly garment that dehumanises the women who wear it, and promotes a religious agenda of which I disapprove.

However, the Dutch plan to ban its wearing in public is an appallingly stupid, illilberal and evil one. A hallmark of a civilised society is that, subject to certain decency-based requirements, people can wear what the fuck they like. Banning women from expressing their beliefs through their dress is the kind of stupid shit that fundamentalist Islamists get up to, not the kind of thing we should be doing.
It’s basically a parallel to the whole War On Terror thing – a marginal and irrelevant bunch of silly cunts don’t like us much and make some half-arsed attempts at destroying our freedom, so the government takes decisive action to destroy all our freedom before they get the chance. The Dutch equivalent is “you want to impose barbaric and restrictive dress codes on us – so we’ll impose them on you!”.

If any Islamist terrorists are reading this, I suggest you fly to Amsterdam (only about £30 on EasyJet these days), shoot interior minister Rita Verdonk with eight bullets, slit her throat, stab her in the torso, and leave a note pinned to her with a knife saying something like “stop it you daft buggers, you’re almost as bad as me”.

If I were to say “ding dong, the witch is dead”, that might provoke unfair exciitement among my more left-of-centre readers. So I’ll stick with the news that the bigot, liar and professional Muslim-hater Oriana Fallaci has snuffed it. Good.

The articulate-but-paranoid EU Referendum bloggers believe that the battle for UK independence is already lost. In particular:

Thus, we have a choice between “democracy” and “stability”, the choice between supporting – and occasionally leading – campaigns and initiatives alongside the United States and its allies, or supporting the foreign policy initiatives of the European Union and its allies. And, as it stands, we are sliding towards the latter, in a contest between two incompatible world visions.

In other words, we’re going to stop getting involved with mad interventions that don’t help anyone but make everyone hate us, and instead join the rest of Europe in not wasting money, time and lives on pointless crusades. Yay.

EU Referendum don’t think this would be a good outcome, for reasons that are unclear. Luckily, they have a solution:

[P]ursue a campaign for a more active, effective and longer-term engagement in Iraq, staying there until we have a fully-functioning, liberal democracy.

And for my next trick - porcine aviation! 

“My hats off to Melanie Phillips. She is our Oriana Fallaci, it seems”. – commenter Nick223 at CommentIsFree.

I know what the BBC’s article on German cannibal and now-life-imprisonee Armin Meiwes is trying to say, but –

In a key moment, a psychologist said Meiwes could reoffend and he himself had admitted he still had fantasies about devouring the flesh of attractive young people.

...doesn’t quite convey the meaning intended.

“This man is a dangerous cannibal who could reoffend. And I should know, because I fantasize about devouring the flesh of attractive young people. Oh fuck, did I say that out loud?”

According to a stalwart of the right-wing anti-Dhimmification blogosphere, “when Christain Voice demonstrates against performances of JStO, they’re not opposing free speech, they’re exercising it”.

But mysteriously, the Muslim anti-cartoon demonstrations are the opposite. Even though they’re the same. Freaky, man. I think it’s because the people doing the latter are weird, scary, foreign and brown, while Christian Voice are merely creepy.

If Islamic fundamentalists ever take control of the UK - yes, this is about as likely as alien space bats taking control of the UK, but occasionally I like to indulge the right-wingers’ paranoid masturbatory fantasies – then the sole upside will be seeing the anti-Dhimmis’ ceremonial decapitation.

“Ha! We were right all along!”, they’ll cry. “You said we were mad, but now we’re glorious martyrs!”. “Yeah, whatever”, I’ll say, having avoided the same fate thanks to my trusty “Dhimmitude for Dummies” guide (issued to all members of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, obviously).

If this website strikes a chord with you, then you’re a cunt.

Anyone who doesn’t understand the problem should reflect on the phrase “without us you’d be speaking German”, and then briefly consider why Americans are so resoundingly hated in every country that they believe themselves to have bravely saved from a terrible fate.

I hope that isn’t the route Denmark, or indeed anywhere else in Europe,. seriously wants to follow…

Northern Europeans. Humourless dickheads who don’t know they’re born.

Pigdogfucker salutes Omar Khayam for an excellently provocative and taboo-breaking piece of performance art. And he’s got a rubber yak.

Meanwhile, our prejudices about EU-haters being a co-extensional group with the dhimmification-loon brigade are confirmed: the EU Referendum blog has talked about little beyond the (let’s be honest, entirely trivial) cartoon fuss for days. Their tasteful little cartoon of a dark-skinned chap painting horrific antisemitic propaganda while berating an innocent-looking white chap for drawing a picture of Mohammed is, erm, indicative.

The Arab press is occasionally guilty of antisemitic cartoonery – while the leading gallery thereof is curated by a complete paranoid loony, some of the images there are a bit off. The problem isn’t that they portray Israeli leaders as murderous bastards: this is somewhere between true and untrue-but-not-racism. The problem is that some of them (actually a minority of the ones that the gallery is cross about, but still some) depict Israel using unpleasant Nazi-era Jewish stereotypes. Not ideal, although perhaps the fact that Israel keeps murdering Arabs excuses a bit of hyperbole here…

The Danish cartoons have very clearly confirmed one popular prejudice, which is that nobody Scandinavian will ever say or do anything amusing, except by mistake. As if to stake a claim for Holland’s place in the same pantheon some Dutch dickhead has put together a bunch of cartoons which manage to be even more offensive and less funny (which is a hard combination to achieve) than the originals. Good effort, Netherlands bigot guy.

For really top-class comedy stunts, however, you need to turn to Hamas:

In August 2001, Hamas sent a suicide bomber into a Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem. He killed 15 innocent Israelis, mutilating many dozens more. A month later, Hamas student activists at al-Najah University in Nablus celebrated the attack with an exhibit, a mockup of the smashed Sbarro shop strewn with blood and fake body parts—a severed leg, still dressed in jeans; a human hand dangling from the ceiling. The inscription (with a reference to the Qassam military wing of Hamas) read: “Qassami Pizza is more delicious.”

Beat that, cloggies and Vikings…
