Boris Johnson unpopular in Liverpool
  
PRINT FRIENDLY
  
EMAIL STORY
Correspondents Report - Sunday, 24 October , 2004 

Reporter: Kirsten Aiken

HAMISH ROBERTSON: Finally to Britain, where there's a tradition of enjoying the spectacle of high profile and opinionated public figures making complete fools of themselves.

Boris Johnson's attempts to rationalise the central point of an article in his magazine the Spectator, which attacked the people of Liverpool for over-reacting to the gruesome death of British engineer Ken Bigley in Iraq, included a visit to the home city of the Beatles to make a grovelling apology.

But as one newspaper later reported, Liverpudlians who'd been stung by the severity of the comments were split between those who loathed Boris Johnson and wished he'd go home, and those who loathed him and wished he'd never come in the first place.

Here's our London Reporter Kirsten Aiken.

KIRSTEN AIKEN: A taste for controversy is how the conservative Spectator magazine promotes itself. This past week it could be said to have satisfied a very large appetite after accusing Liverpudlians of too extreme a reaction following the beheading of one of their former residents, British engineer Ken Bigley, who was murdered by Iraqi insurgents earlier this month.

The magazine, edited by the Conservative frontbencher Boris Johnson, touted: "we've lost our sense of proportion about such things" – because a minute's silence was held to mark Ken Bigley's memory in an international football match in the days after the horrific incident.

And the anonymously written article didn't stop there.

"The fact that such a tribute was demanded emphasised the mawkish sentimentality of a society that has become hooked on grief and likes to wallow in a sense of vicarious victimhood."  [comment:  what an assh*le article.  This would be fair comment if he The Specator were talking about the anti European victimhood propaganda the state and corporate media propaganda machine pushes while pushing an agenda of European divestment, but the article's referring to the barbaric slaughter of an Englishman.]

It was too much for Liverpudlians, whose sporting fans were also accused of contributing to the Hillsboro football tragedy in which more than 50 people died. 

[comment:  I've not read the article, but I'm assuming there was maybe a commemoration for the sporting fans that were killed in a crush?  Although (generally speaking) I find what you might call victimhood status generation and public displays of victimhood unattractive, the politicians and their corporate media scribes are first to use victimhood propaganda to shape public opinion, so why are they on the offensive in this instance? 

Political reasons.  It involves Muslims who have been permitted to colonise and buy Britain.  Muslims who are actively encouraged by politicians and the government to invest money in Britain.  So this is about politicians pimping the heritage of Britons, in exchange for MONEY for the ruling elites.  Therefore, politicians are also invested in putting out any 'fires' that may potentially put at risk the monetary rewards the political and economic elites anticipate to receive, as they sell the heritage from under Britons. ]


Not sure what was going on with Boris Johnson in relation to Muslims back in 2004, but I expect as Mayor of the Muslim stronghold in Britain, it would have been much the same as today:  a desire for influence over an enormous Muslim settlement in London and a desire for MONEY  / INVESTMENT from Muslims abroad.


EDIT / COMMENT:
The biggest factor at play in Britain at that time would have been British politicians and media intent on disseminating propaganda to ensure continued illegal British military presence in Iraq, as the British Ruling Capitalists have sunk a total of £9.24 billion of British taxpayer money into the illegal Iraq war).

DAILY MAIL

"I'm the first London Mayor of 'Muslim extraction', Boris Johnson boasts as he pleads for Arab investment in the capital"

...  his great-great-grandfather Ahmed Hamdi, a Muslim entrepreneur who made his money in beeswax

His great-grandfather ‘grew up knowing the Koran off by heart and he would have been stunned to find that his descendant had gone on to become Mayor of this city, and even more amazed to find that the world had so progressed that today we are welcoming the world’s first Islamic Economic Forum to take place outside the Muslim world’.

Mr Johnson announced a £100million fund to encourage tech start-ups from the Muslim world to move to Britain.

It comes after David Cameron unveiled a £200million new Islamic bond - known as a ‘sukuk’ - which complies with Islamic rules on investments and said the London Stock Exchange will launch a new Islamic index alongside the FTSE.

"London Mayor: Islamic State flag shouldn’t be banned because UK is free country"
July 9, 2015
The UK is a free country. Sure. It’s a free country if you preach hatred, jihad, and Sharia. But if you dare to point out that Islam has a doctrine of violence against unbelievers, then no, it is not a free country at all.

Jihad Watch



Thought the above couple of random articles might explain Johnson's political position. 


I'm pretty sure Johnson is of Jewish origins.

Well, it appears that Boris Johnson can call up whatever part of his ancestry serves his political purpose.



Jerusalem Post

"London Mayor Boris Johnson confirmed on Wednesday during a visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem that he has Jewish ancestry."

07.13.2016 | 7 Tammuz, 5776

“Yes, I have Jews in my family from Moscow, some of them rabbis,” he told Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites. “That’s on my mother’s side.”

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/At-Western-Wall-London-mayor-affirms-his-Jewish-ancestry-432666

http://archive.is/nRLGX


On mother's side would make him Jewish, according to Jewish law.

It saw locals criticise Boris Johnson for a lack of tact and timing.

[ ...]

KIRSTEN AIKEN: A bumbling Boris Johnson did apologise for causing offence, but insisted he couldn't retract the thrust of the argument, which sought to point out an apparently new British trait of blaming others for one's misfortunes
[comment:  Boris Johnson's (and his magazine's) deliberate castigation affront to the Liverpool community's grief, in response to the barbaric murder of a Liverpudlian Englishmen, is POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.  This man is a pig, and so is the British government and its politicians, who have SOLD OUT ALL BRITONS for ARAB MONEY.   ]

Because Ken Bigley chose to work in one of the world's most dangerous places, against the advice of the foreign office, the article suggests he contributed to his death. It also sought to point out the true mark of maturity in civilization is to cut out ignorant sentimentality.  [comment:  Again, politicians and the British Foreign Office are quick to use 'sentimentality' when it serves their political proposes, selling war abroad or selling invasion at home.  F*cking assh*les.  Why is this journalist selling the VICTIM-BLAMING narrative of the British Foreign Office swine who sell out Britons EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY, as they destroy their ancestral homeland?  Australian news is cucked as.]

But timing, it seems, is everything – a point that wouldn't have escaped Boris Johnson as he later handed out prizes to children at an event titled 'Learn from our mistakes'.

This is Kirsten Aiken in London for Correspondents Report.

Johnson comments that probably aren't politically motivated would be:

The remarks Johnson made about Papua New Guinea's cannibalism and chief killing, which are probably factually correct.  So I don't see the problem with that ... although it might be seen as tactless of a politician that is required to display grovelling Culturally Marxist sensibilities at all times.

'Watermelon smiles'?  Not sure what that's about, but there's a stereotyped association between Africans and watermelons (probably evolved in the American south).  However, I doubt Johnson's intent was to offend.

Judging by these remarks, Boris Johnson could prove an entertaining foreign minister.

Entertainment aside, Boris Johnson's appointment in such a senior and critical position, when he has an official history  of lying & of being sacked from the Tory front bench for lying, is of concern.

At first I was prepared to laugh off Johnson's extramarital-affair, as it's humorous and doesn't seem too important from what is a safe emotional distance of not having the misfortune to be involved with the cheating assh*le that is Boris Johnson.

Now I don't like this guy at all, and I don't trust him.

Boris Johnson's an anti-social whore in more ways than one and it is his potential political whoring and lying that is sure to come to the forefront of foreign affairs issues. 
More on Johnson's lying, in case my Boris criticism appear too harsh:
" ...  what did we expect from a man who has been fired not once but twice for lying? In 1988 the young Johnson was sacked from The Times for fabricating a quote in an article, and in 2004 he was “relieved of his duties” as shadow arts minister of the Tory Party for allegedly lying about an extra-marital affair." [Independent]

Oh, look, the invasion of yet another European nation continues unabated, alongside empty politician promises:
"... pre-Brexit Johnson promised greater controls on the number of migrants entering the UK. Come Monday, he wrote that migrant numbers won’t fall. Instead the UK will introduce an Australian-style points based immigration system. The very system in which the economy, not the government sets immigration targets. In fact counties which have adopted a points-based system have higher levels of migration."  [Independent (as above)]
I feel sick in the stomach reading that.

So European nations are being destroyed for what they call 'the economy'?

Without a nation to speak of, what sense is there in the existence of an economy?

Boris Johnson is Anyone's


Ooooh, look ... Boris Johnson's Hasidic when it's politically expedient to be:

Boris Johnson Britain's
Scooting Skirt-chaser
 

 

 Must keep an eye on naughty Boris  ;)

Think I might flip back to being pro-Boris ... he's being criticised by the Germans and the French, so that's a positive (and he was pro Brixit, so maybe that makes up for his philandering?  ... LOL).

Dislike the French and German politicians more than Johnson's whoring ... I think.

But being party to the implementation of an invasion of Britain and selling out the British for the sake of Arab money is harder to overlook.

Hague Invasion Act

Human Rights Watch
| 2002  http://archive.is/OXr7k

"A new law supposedly protecting U.S. servicemembers from the International Criminal Court shows that the Bush administration will stop at nothing in its campaign against the court.

U.S. President George Bush today signed into law the American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The new law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague. This provision, dubbed the "Hague invasion clause," has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands. 

In addition, the law provides for the withdrawal of U.S. military assistance from countries ratifying the ICC treaty, and restricts U.S. participation in United Nations peacekeeping unless the United States obtains immunity from prosecution. At the same time, these provisions can be waived by the president on "national interest" grounds. 

...

The law is part of a multi-pronged U.S. effort against the International Criminal Court. On May 6, in an unprecedented move, the Bush administration announced it was "renouncing" U.S. signature on the treaty.

A former Australian army chief has warned Canberra against “blindly” following the United States in the American military adventures, a day after a long-awaited inquiry into Britain’s role in the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq blamed the UK for rushing to war.

“We... need to be careful of blindly going along with our senior strategic partners,” Peter Leahy, who was the chief of the Australian army from 2002 to 2008, said in an apparent reference to the US.

“I think as we look at other issues that are afoot at the moment, there are some thoughts to be given there — what decisions are we making?” he said, speaking on Thursday.

The former army chief, who is now a professor at Canberra University’s National Security Institute, added that “Frankly, some of the decisions the United States, our senior partner in our strategic alliance, have [sic] made over the last 20 or 30 years have been a bit crook.”

The Chilcot Inquiry, established in 2009 to investigate Britain’s most controversial military engagement since the end of the Second World War, published its 6,000-page report in 12 volumes on Wednesday, slamming former British Prime Minister Tony Blair over support for former US President George W. Bush in the 2003 Iraq war.

At the time, Blair presented the case for war with “a certainty which was not justified” based on “flawed” intelligence about Iraq’s supposed weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which was not challenged as it should have been, the report concluded.

Blair’s government sent 120,000 members of the British armed forces and civilians to Iraq, proving its role as Bush’s chief military ally.  A total of 179 British personnel were killed in the war.

In 2003, Australia also sent 2,000 troops to support the US and British forces in the invasion of Iraq, whose legal basis, according to the Chilcot Inquiry, was “far from satisfactory.”

According to Leahy, a review of the Australian involvement in the Iraq war released in 2004 also showed that Canberra relied on flawed advice in joining its senior allies.

Let’s have a discussion, not an inquiry, around our relationship with the United States, how we decide to go to war and very importantly how we decide every day when we are at war to stay at war,” Leahy said.

Meanwhile, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who at the time of the Iraq invasion was part of then-Prime Minister John Howard’s conservative government, defended the decision made by the government to send troops to Iraq, saying it was “based on… the best information that we had at the time.”

“The government takes responsibility for all decisions that a government makes and we take responsibility for this one,” she further said, describing the decision as “a bipartisan position up to a point.”

Blair himself has defended the British decision to follow in the US’s footsteps into Iraq following the publication of the Chilcot report.

According to the Australian constitution, the government does not require a permission from the country’s parliament to declare war.

COMMENT

Julie Bishop defending the decision to enter into ILLEGAL WAR ON IRAQ, on a CONCOCTED basis, for the enrichment of US-ANGLO CAPITALISTS who destroyed and robbed the country, is appalling. But what else can the government do?  It's not like they're going to admit to being war criminals and admit liability, are they?  LOL

It also sounds like Australia might want to address the issue of the constitution that permits a declaration of war without parliamentary backing.

Invasion of Iraq - The Illegal War Guilt List



IRAQ WAR

Iraq — Declaration of War
18 Mar 2003 at 22:00

MOTION voted through by a majority of British MPs


BRITAIN RECOGNISES:

"that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and long range missiles, and its continuing non-compliance with Security Council Resolutions, pose a threat to international peace and security"

...  ummmmm, only there wasn't any 







AGREED that Britain:

"should use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction"

BRITISH POLITICIANS VOTE THAT:

British forces to invade Iraq
in an ILLEGAL WAR

comment

When this was happening I wasn't paying attention.

I can vaguely remember 2003.  Think I was really, really depressed back then, thinking how sh*t my life was.  LOL.

It actually wasn't as crap as I thought it was.  It just seemed that way.  Wish I could go back in time.  Time's going way too fast for me.

Anyway, I don't think I turned on the TV that year, so I missed out on the war news.  Not that I would have cared back then.  It was so remote it may as well have been war on Mars.

I'm probably a bit more aware these days, but I'm probably as self involved as ever.

I'm shocked looking at this list of British MPs who voted for invasion of Iraq.

Look at how much power very, very ordinary and fallible everyday local politicians are granted, simply by being elected into positions of power by the electorate.  

And just think about the potential for abuse that power and the importance, in that case, of accountability and transparency in government ... which is where WikiLeaks comes in.

Vse bylo nayavu,
A kazhetsya -- prisnilos',
I ya seychas prosnus', chtob snova ty byla…
Skazala: «Ukhozhu!»
I vse peremenilos' -
Ushla i tselyy mir s soboy ty unesla.

Izmenilos' vse vokrug,
I vse nenuzhnym stalo vdrug.
Solntse vstrechayu, yego ne lyubya.
Den' provozhayu, ne lyubya.
Mir ni k chemu mne,
Mir ni k chemu mne,
Gde net tebya.

Naverno by menya
Razluka ne ubila -
Kogda-nibud' ya smog zabyt', chto ty byla.
Ne sprashivayu ya,
Zachem ty razlyubila?
Skazhi, zachem ves' mir s soboy ty unesla.

Pripev:
Izmenilos' vse vokrug,
I vse nenuzhnym stalo vdrug.
Solntse vstrechayu -- yego ne lyubya.
Den' provozhayu -- ne lyubya.
Mir ni k chemu mne,

then Swarthmore professor Nathaniel Deutsch 

professor of Jewish studies
now:   University of California Santa Cruz

   "The United States didn’t set out to eradicate the Mandeans, one of the oldest, smallest and least understood of the many minorities in Iraq. This extinction in the making has simply been another unfortunate and entirely unintended consequence of our invasion of Iraq—though that will be of little comfort to the Mandeans, whose 2,000-year-old culture is in grave danger of disappearing ..."

ILLEGAL
US CAPITALIST
2003 IRAQ WAR
90% Mandeans killed or fled
Therefore, this is
an ethnic cleansing
of Iraq Mandeans,
which is a war crime 



US Capitalist Empire vassal states are the assigned depots for displaced Mandaeans (and over 150 varieties of others from around the globe, who are either displaced by Western capitalist wars of aggression, consequences of assaults such as regime change and installation of dictators, or simply kept in poverty by Western capitalist exploitation by financial/economic levers or means ... and European societies bear the costs of unbridled capitalist ruling class greed):

  • Sweden (c. 7,000)
  • Australia (c. 3,500 as of 2006)
  • UK (c. 1,000)
  • Canada (number not specified)
  • US Capitalist Empire takes:  abt. 1,500


Sweden is No. 1 Dumping Ground Depot of the ruling capitalists, and Sweden is earmarked for imminent dissolution as ancestral home of the Swedes.  It's Swedish suicide, brought to you by genocidal capitalism masking as 'Feminist Foreign Policy'.

Meanwhile, the European demographic composition and culture of the US Capitalist Empire vassal states is progressively and irreversibly altered and placed on a path of destruction. 

All roads lead to displacement, divestment and destruction of Europeans.

So, that's two lots of cultures & peoples that have been dispossessed and assigned to the 'multicultural' defacement and destruction by way of capitalist greed globalisation scrap heap, as result of (a) uniform post WWII Western ruling elite policy and (b) as result of the illegal Iraq War 2003, in this instance, that was brought to us by Western capitalists.

What they're doing is criminal, but the Western liberal-left propagandist intelligentsia, media, NGOs, activists and rent-a-mob applaud capitalist greed orchestrated mass population transfer to European societies (and destruction thereof), as if genocide twice over was the milk of human kindness.  Lying assh*les.

Azerbajani, Muslim Magomayev was a popular singer in the Soviet Union.
Magomayev was known as the 'King of Songs' and the 'Soviet Sinatra'.

I found him while looking up Baku.  So far, this is the song I like best.   He's singing in Russian.  English translation - here
It probably doesn't translate well, but I like the overall sound.

Historically, Azerbajan was Zoroastrian.
