Word The Cat

Back in UK now since a week and politic-reality is sketchy. The fat man is blustering about deportations judged illegal by the UN. Human rights prove inconvenient and are relativised. Home secretary Charles Clarke: “the human rights of those people who were blown up on the tube in London on July 7 are, to be quite frank, more important than the human rights of the people who committed those acts.” Human rights are something people hold by virtue of their humanity. One person’s human rights cannot be more important than another’s unless that person is more human. De-humanising races or religions who find themselves in the way of Western expansion has been a useful tool for imperialists for hundreds of years. Suggesting that human rights cannot be arbitrarily re-defined by the interests of a single state would no doubt earn one the brand of “human rights extemist” by the right wing press. The Sun: “United Nations officials, “human rights” lawyers, and Muslim extremists are queuing up to support those who want to harm us.” Note the inverted commas. The same paper is also quick to defend the police and attack anyone who questions the police over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes (7 times in the head once in the shoulder while pinned down by 2 cops). If anyone doesn’t know, the Sun’s readership is over 10 million. Next on ITV – bad lads army, followed by bad lads army privates exposed. Meta-fascism.
One family who don’t want to be neck deep in reality-media/news are the Kachepa family who were deported yesterday in the face of blanket opposition from their (British) community.
In closing, try not to worry too much. Remember the last honest man in New York is taking the fight to the United Nations, that seething nest of multi-lateralism. But don’t forget there may be female witches in your area, no doubt dancing barefoot and practicing their vegetarianism. More info here.
