so he went to a local comp...what does he want?
a fucking medal?
ed miliband's just another flunky of the evil elite which exploits life on earth for its own nepotistic and nefarious ends, but no-one dares say so...it seems that children of holocaust survivors are somehow silently conferred a mystical aura of criticism-rebuffing requisite reverence which, contrarily, is not bestowed upon those whose predecessors rode out the ravages of such horror as produced by the transatlantic slave-trade and colonialism; like the inheritance of inordinate family wealth, this manner of automatic privilege is prone to breeding a conceited culture of condescension towards those who are not chosen to stand in the magic circle of sophisticated society - and in the case of ed miliband, his contempt for the citizens of less prosperous civilizations is painfully apparent in his blithe support for acts of aggressive military intervention aimed at controlling, ultimately unto annihilation, an unhappy uppity underclass, arbitrarily manufactured by the dictates of his wonderfuelled world.

yes, interesting...the jewish holocaust memorial day is clearly proving a bone of contention amongst many black people, who complain that no equivalent official recognition is given the victims of the slave-trade - but let's face it, one's community needs bags of dosh and power to secure that kind of all singing-all-dancing united nations-backed extravaganza.
i don't think it's a question of anyone actually wanting to lobby against an official jewish holocaust memorial day (envy-driven action like that would be as self-defeating as, say, campaigning for a clampdown on rich people avoiding tax and then getting upset when her majesty's inland revenue collector arrives on one's own doorstep to demand 'er majesty's share of the drink one was bought for doing some little job for a mate 'round-the-corner, after all, it's important not to cut off one's own covetous nose and undermine the very principles which govern one's own human rights and private freedoms), no, it's all about being given equal respect in such matters - yet one really wonders why a community would seek the licence of the establishment, by which it was oppressed, to hold its particular memorial? surely, privately organized and financed community ceremonies are always going to be way more meaningful than state-funded shabangs - which can so often be hijacked by self-serving politicians...
(...and for what it's worth, i believe that establishment-sanctioned slavery reparations and apologies would end in an equally unsatisfactory wild-goose chase, for the selfsame reasons - the political classes, whatever colour or creed, only ever look after their own, and money, let alone respect, never filters down to ordinary guys on the street...)
accordingly, from my unaffiliated standpoint, the yom hashoah holocaust remembrance day, observed by orthodox jews, constitutes a far more dignified, relevant, reverent and fitting occasion of true spirituality.
nevertheless, it must also be noted that the israeli government did succeed in securing restitution payments from post-war germany, yet has never managed to secure peace in its own home and heartland.
reparations agreement between israel and west germany
the israeli government invested much of the original holocaust restitution money paid by germany in national infrastructure projects and the economy - but many of the individual survivors and the heirs of victims were paid compensation through a web of schemes organized by various pressure groups who lobbied individual german companies and institutions; there was never any question of post-war germany not paying the original reparations - at that time, the bitter political dispute in israel was over whether to accept the money at all.
clearly, jewish communities, first and foremost, would have cared for survivors and victims' families, and surely any financial assistance required for individual rehabilition could, in theory, have been covered by the sale of a few antique pots and paintings from the wealthy rothschild banking family's waddesdon manor, in buckinghamshire - yet i'm sure that money was not the central issue and that, in reality, holocaust survivors, with the help of families and friends, simply picked themselves up and struggled on to rebuild their lives in whichever country they had landed, because, like everyone else affected by the war, they had little choice.
in modern times, the israeli government are now claiming reparations from germany for some 30000 victims of forced-labour - it's inconceivable that these survivors are not currently looked-after by some official capacity, but obviously further finance would take pressure off the state purse; israel has also sought large discounts on the purchase of two german-built meko warships, has received two free dolphin-class nuclear-arms-capable submarines from germany, together with substantial discounts on two others, and has two more subs on order.
however, returning to the theme of this discussion thread, i'd like to say this: despite my formal opposition to our unhealthily repressive underclass-fostering tax-and-welfare-state, i still reckon it a bit rich of the british government to label those in our society, such as afro-caribbeans, whom it has historically enslaved and persists in actively disenfranchising, as benefit scroungers.
@officially-authorized reparation etc etc
absolutely definitely written by a white man.
well, look, no, i'm not about to leave the labour party over this...the malian government requested international intervention...ok, it's always been a repressive western-backed cia op, and's probably to blame for the deep political-discontent and al qaeda-enhanced northern-rift in the first place...and i know ed's been a bit naughty supporting all these neo-con wars in afghanistan, libya and now this one in the sahara too...
...but let's face facts here...
...at the end of the day...
...he has got a lovely little botty. uhhhh
i think a little slap will do
hi there, lady lardi...
you know i started sounding orff and telling people what they should eat, what...?
well, now your shadow health secretary andy banham wants to go the whole bloody hog and completely ban food with err 'too much' salt, fat, sugar 'n spice init, what?
...like err..you know...traditional afro-caribbean dishes, for example...
raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssss...the sistas will soon be forced to deal aki-'n-saltfish from shady shop-doorways down the frontline...it'll all go baamba black-market...i just dread to think of the prices...
right, that's it...all out girls...this is serious...we're leaving labour and forming a new party...it's going to be called the...err...
rice and peas liberation front
hey lady lardi...
we're all pretty pissed about this one i can tell you, darling...
...you're more than welcome to come join us larger lasses here in the fucking fat old cows freedom faction if you like...
gee thanks but no thanks, anne...
...just typical, sounds a bad case of british intestinalized discrimination to me, dear - don't let yourself get sucked-in lardi, honey.
@lady lardidah of lordship road (rapslif)
sistas? na man this man work now man
let the brethren handle it
@the reparations centre
wow, you mean the israelis didn't even have to ask for compensation...??? the mau mau struggle in kenya (during which, predominantly kikuyu, freedom-fighters were interned by winston churchill's government in a 'pipeline' of concentration camps, where, at the very least, tens of thousands were subsequently tortured, murdered or left to die of typhus) ended in 1960, yet it has taken over 50 years for us merely to be granted leave to bring our compensation case to court; the chance to tell the british government to stuff its money up the same orifice it uses for verbal communication would be a fine thing...
i don't know how ed miliband has the nerve to contest a general election with a shadow-cabinet packed-full of iraq-war-criminals squatting on the front bench grinning and nodding like some deluded row of democratically-doped-up death-laden donkeys.
don't worry, the more the british legislature, judiciary and executive persist in discriminating against and disenfranchizing the communities which democracy forgot, the deeper the traditional british establishment delves itself a pit from which there is no possible moral return - indeed, the shaft is now so damned deep that the most promising course of action would probably be to keep on digging.
i'm a retired nurse...and having regularly rammed my moral thermometer up the ideological arse of this country for many, many years, i can unequivically state that britain is now very sick indeed...
...but on the subject of traditional conventions which require burying, how about marriage...?
...which is unquestionably institutionally sexist.
i think spark up should be on the front bench in Parliment , so that he could scoul at the bastards while they were telling their lies ,then he could tell em where to shove their last bunch shit they tell the nation. Brilliant blog. i think Lady lardidah had a quite gracious point.

thanks, anon - i once went to parliament as part of a scout-trip and i later delivered a couple of parcels there as a courier, but i'm afraid i don't intend going anywhere near the place now i know it's cursed (and actually i'm not quick enough for that sorta stand-up verbal high-jinx). as for scowling at the politicians, i'll leave that to jocelyn, who's bagged the job on pure merit.
yes, i reckon lady l made a very salient observation...there's a line drawn across the dinner-table and when the big political animals cross it and start messing with her food she don't joke, boy.
