Media’s hang-up about the word ‘Posh!’

Wouldn’t it be nice if the media began, for a change, to praise those who have the good-fortune to be successful and also happen to be well-educated and from a privileged background – whether in the field of Politics or Professional careers – instead of constantly using the word ‘posh’ as a bludgeon to attempt to belittle the person they are referring to. As if that person actually ‘chose’ to be privately educated – and also just happens to have a refined English accent.

In our current socialistic society that deems all be equal, the ability to dumb down to the lowest common denominator appears to make a person more popular- regardless of whether they are thicker than a two cent watch, or have an coarser accent than Melvyn the Fishmonger from Codswallop-on-Sea.

Personally I would have thought anyone from a privileged background who actually made it on their own abilities – with a just a little help from their Grammar School teachers – should be someone any ill-educated peon would want to aspire to, but no! It appears quite the opposite. 2009 Heroes and Heroines appear to be tattooed mutants who either strum a guitar and shout obscenities at 100 decibels or higher, or are neurotic powder-sniffing women willing to have their boobs fall out of their garments on a live reality TV show.

Has style, class and finesse gone forever? Have we reduced ourselves to the level of the same kind of  ‘citizens’ who rebelled against the establishment at the time of the French Revolution? (Not that they didn’t have a just cause)

A little like now, that particular event came about because of the basic citizen’s displeasure with the way the government and the king worked. The king had complete control over the peasants charging unfair taxes and forcing the lowly classes to fight in low ranks of the army. They also had to pay or give money or food and other valuables to often more than one Lord, who owned the land they worked on or lived on, or even just lived near. Also nobles, rich people could avoid large amounts of tax.

Does that sound familiarly similar to our own Parliamentarians creaming through their corrupt system and does the revolutionists sound a little like our Unions, ie; the ‘Postal Workers’ who want to deprive their own embattled fellow citizens of a chance to survive at a time when all are in the middle of a recession.

Louis Charles, the second  and the extravagant Marie Antoinette is very far removed from the media’s so-called ‘posh’ David Cameron and his wife, even though a parallel may well be drawn between Robespierre and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Daily Bedlam in UK

Geet Wilders is an MP from an EU country. We all know he’s a right wing extremist who is fearful of Muslin Radicals who are plotting to ‘Goldfinger’ the west into oblivion. Therefore, our Home secretary (that shining example of bitter, British woman hood) Jacqui Smith, sent him packing back to the Dykes to do his Don Quixote act among the local Muslim Windmills of his semi-facist mind (I mentioned this on a previous blog on my site http://dailybedlam.com)

But to ban Wilders entry on the basis he just might have provoked an incident among British Muslims, was as un-democratic as any EU Government could ever get. The fellow wanted to be present at  the showing of his film to the house of Lords. He wanted to point out that 5 Verses of the Koran should either be removed from the publication, or at least discussed by Muslim Leaders.  Wilders might be paranoid about Islam. But if  he had wanted to show a film about how much murder, rape, pillage,  inciting to riot, incest and violence against infidels as is portrayed in the Bible, then no one would have blinked an eye.  Clearly, the Uk Government want to appease Muslims in the UK. They’re not interested in appeasing Christians. Christians gave up putting heathens to the sword for being non-Christians centuries ago. But, sadly when radical Muslims get angry,  well, funny things seem to happen in London to Public transport and in Public places… And such incidents are not a great winner of votes.

However, if the EU had a constitution as in the USA, the banning of Wilders would have been the equivalent of California preventing a member of the congress from New York entering their State. It just could not happen.

It was some weeks ago now that Wilders was banned and now the Home Secretary’s office has released the names of other people who have been recently barred from entering the UK for what they, the Government call, ‘radical views.’

One is an American with their own radio show in the USA. If it turns out to be Rush Limbaugh as some are saying, then this Government is far more psychotic than anyone actually thought.  Rush is certainly right wing, but so what. He speaks his mind and he lives in a Democratic country.

A total of 230 people have been prevented from entering the UK since 2005, as their presence was deemed not to be “conducive to the public good”.

Those excluded include religious extremists, neo-Nazis and animal rights activists, and a few who are merely not liked because they object to the way Britain has ignored their own plight.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has announced a list of the names of those excluded  – soon to be published and shared with other countries – And, hopefully with us, the public, as well. Perhaps American Film Producers will enter this list in the future. Particularly if they want to make films about Britain’s countless crimes against the world during our days when we brutalized people in other countries when we had a big thing about colonizing the world at any cost.  ‘Britalizing’ as it was known to many on the receiving end!

Nothing would surprise me in this country of mine which we used to swear was a true democracy!
