You will know them for their hypocrisy is legion.

When you were all stood there commemorating the sacrifice of those who gave their todays for our tomorrows what were you thinking. "It's a bit chilly". "Can't they hurry up a bit". "Suckers". "They wouldn't catch me doing anything on principle let alone dying". We know you definitely weren't thinking "I am grateful for their sacrifice and will follow their example" as that would be many things but certainly hypocrisy.

What was World War II all about. Our leaders wanted to maintain the empire. Ordinary Britons thought they were fighting for freedom and against the totalitarianism of the fascist left wing ideology of National Socialism. For the stupid the reason National Socialism is left wing is in the name. So what do you think the war dead would say if they had come back to life and seen that the Nazi culture is flourishing and is de rigueur across the West.

The faux moral outrage is almost palpable. How can the West be compared to Nazi Germany for they were evil? Well let's see if there are any similarities.

Hitler's Germany was a totalitarian state where democracy was scrapped, central planning was enforced and dissenters weren't welcome. The last bit was a bit of an understatement. Starting with the street thugs that went on to become the brown shirts the Nazi's extended their control with the SS and Gestapo. Show trials and torture common place as was executions.

Let's start with modern day democracy that much vaunted characteristic of a "free" country that is peddled across the Middle East. In theory the US and UK have two main parties each. In both countries their respective parties have become indistinguishable and totally unaccountable to the electorate. Whichever party is voted in the results are the same. Debts up, immigration up, statistical lies up. 

The European Union is anti-democracy. Tsipras in Greece won both an election and a referendum on an anti-austerity stance and then promptly signed up to continuing the Troika's austerity regime. How? Ukraine's democratically elected President was ousted in favour of a US puppet and that country has descended into civil war. Catalonia has voted to separate from Spain and Rajoy threatens to use everything including the military to stop them.  And don't mention referendums on transfer of sovereignty, immigration, multiculturalism. Definitely verboten.

How does the West deal with central planning. Well they love it. From the Fed to the ECB to the BOE and all the rest the central banks manipulate the financial markets, print fiat money and enrich a minority. Western countries are totally addicted to debt used to finance endless spending on the transformation of those countries in spite of the views of their electorate. There is no Western country that is reducing its influence on its populace.

What about dissenters? In the US whistleblowers are hounded and prosecuted. Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden are three. Carmen Segarra and David P. Weber are two more. Tony Blair infamous for the Iraq War to save the West from non-existent WMD will also be remembered for his Government's hounding and subsequent death of Dr. David Kelly. Colleges and universities across the West are no longer beacons of free speech and original thought but bastions of prescribed ideas, illiberal actions and "safe spaces". 

Freedom of speech is effectively prohibited by "hate" legislation. In the UK the definition of a hate crime is "A crime that the victim or any other person perceives to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards any aspect of a person's identity". So we are now in the area of thought crimes and the subjectivity of that is also legion. Please remember that whilst the UK police were creating the hate crime legislation they were also ignoring the million suspected victims of immigrant rape gangs. The irony of that is awesome. The police not protecting children as they were creating a law to protect the perpetrators of child abuse from being protected or confronted. So Goebbels.

If hate legislation doesn't work then there is always threats or actual violence by left wing organisations. Anywhere anyone protests immigration and its resultant problems then they are shouted down with racism, xenophobia or the daddy of them all "Islamophobia". In the UK there is Antifa who turnout to oppose any group that protests mass rape and paedophilia by immigrants, which indirectly means that Antifa members may have questions to answer about their view of gang rape and paedophilia. Anyone seen the police? The UK also has Unite Against Fascism funded by the Unite union who receives funds from the UK government. So we have state sanctioned thugs in the UK denying free speech and freedom of association. Across Europe anyone protesting mass immigration or climate change or any of the other acceptable orthodoxy will be persecuted through the courts or the media or with violence.

We are three for three so far. What about propaganda. Hitler had Joseph Goebbels who is infamous for “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The West lives and breathes that quote from Goebbels. In the US all main media is controlled by only six organisations. In the UK BBC and Sky News have long since ceased to be organisations populated by journalists reporting unbiased news and are merely purveyors of state spin.

Let's move on. All fascist states need either a made up national trait or a real or imaginary enemy. Or both. Someone to blame for when things go wrong or to justify the states actions to protect the citizenry. Hitler had his master race theory and blamed the Jews. The US have their "exceptionalism" and blame the Russians / Chinese. The rest of the West go along with the US with blaming the Russians and Chinese. None of the West blame Islam for anything as most Muslims are mostly soft and cuddly and furry just like Gremlins. Apart from the Muslims who take the Quran literally who aren't Muslims but Islamists and the West does blame them. Apart from if they aren't really bad Islamists like Al-Qaeda then they are sort of OK. Confused? You should be.

So now the enemies of the West are the Russians, Chinese and Islamists. Mainly the Islamists. Following 9/11 the US has used "Islamists" to create the Department of Homeland Security, pass the Patriot and other Acts and collect data on everyone not just the "enemy". In the UK the government has GCHQ spying on everyone. Any Islamist attack is used to justify more protection. We have smart phones, tablets and laptops that track our location, can be switched on remotely to use the camera or record what is said. ISP's, search engines and social media that provide our data to national security services when they are not selling the information themselves. There are 250 million security cameras installed globally. That's one for every 29 people on the planet. We have smart TV's that record and transmit the data. So George. Heinrich Himmler would be beside himself with joy at this level of state surveillance of its populace.

What about relationships with other countries. Hitler is blamed for starting World War II and for invading most European and North African countries in the process causing up to 80 million deaths. How about the West? Well they invaded Afghanistan - 30,000, invaded Iraq - 1.5m, did another regime change in Libya - 30,000, Ukraine - 50,000 and Syria 250,000 with more still to die.

Overall, yes the West has taken the methods of the Nazi's and made them more subtle but ultimately far more effective. The freedoms that millions died for are being eroded across the West.

Yes politicians we know what you were thinking on Remembrance Day - Suckers!

Dear Labour and Conservative Parties - Did 1.5m Britons die just for you to be free to get the UK in the Top 50 countries for FGM?

The 1.5m Britons are the ones that died in World Wars 1 & 2. Another 2.2m were wounded and maimed. We are told that they fought, died and were wounded for freedom, to maintain the British way of life and for British values. 100 years ago when the First World War was in its second year there was no indigenous Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)  in Britain. So how in less than 70 years, since the end of the Second World War, did successive governments, both Conservative and Labour, manage to get the UK in the Top 50 countries in the World for FGM?

You may be surprised to learn that the UK has approximately 220,000 FGM victims. That puts us behind countries like Egypt, Somalia, Nigeria and Kenya. Yet we are believed to have more FGM victims than Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. We only need another 60,000 victims or so and our politicians will have the UK in the Top 40!

FGM is not indigenous to the UK. When you look at the 60 countries where FGM is indigenous they are all found in Africa and Asia. For the 35 African countries there appears to be a high correlation between the Muslim population and the prevalence of FGM. However Eritrea is split fairly equally 50:50 between Muslims and Christians and yet the FGM prevalence is believed to be 89%. Liberia is only 12% Muslim and yet FGM prevalence is 58%. The high FGM prevalence in Liberia and several neighbouring countries is thought to be part of an initiation to a society called Sande.

For the 25 Asian countries the FGM prevalence has only been estimated for 6 and all of which are majority Muslim with a high degree of correlation between the FGM rate and the Muslim population.

Female Genital Mutilation has been occurring for centuries and in some cultures millennia. So our politicians knew that as immigration in to the UK was allowed then the culture of FGM would be imported.  30 years ago FGM was made illegal in the UK and yet the law has not been enforced. This past weekend a new law came into force requiring medical personnel and others to report incidents of FGM.

So what are the options to deal with FGM in the UK. The first would be to enforce the laws however there are quite a few problems with that.

• The police, politicians, social workers, local councillors would be scared of being called "racist".
• The UK legal system doesn't like to enforce laws such as rape, paedophilia, bigamy, assault where the perpetrator is an immigrant as it could be their "culture".
• If the FGM perpetrators were prosecuted and imprisoned then the UK prison population would increase from 90,000 to 310,000 (yes it would more than treble) and between 100,000 and 200,000 children would need to go in to care.

So the costs and logistics of enforcing the law makes that option a total non-starter.

The absolute solution would be to exclude people from all countries / cultures where FGM is practiced, deport those that are in the UK and enforce a strict immigration policy. But we know that won't happen as the screams of "stereotyping", "racism", "refugees" and "human rights" will be heard across the land.

And so we are left with what we have now. To wit:

• A problem created by corrupt Members of Parliament and the House of Lords;
• Who talk about how terrible FGM is and how it needs to be stopped;
• That pass laws that won't be enforced;
• And Britons are known as a nation that mutilates women and children.

So when you see poppies and you remember the sacrifice of the millions that fought, suffered, died or were maimed for Britain, the British way of life and values think also of all the politicians that for seventy years enjoyed the freedoms that sacrifice bought. The very politicians who blithely destroyed that way of life and those values.

Smile we are all people mutilators now.
