Boris Johnson - doing his bit for the homeless

Boris Johnson - A dangerous Dhimmi Clown

Good old Boris. He has outlined his plans for housing in London. He laid them out whilst speaking at a London Jewish Forum breakfast last week. More information and video of Boris selling out the True Brits here. Sorry but the sound quality is very poor on the video.

He has guaranteed action on housing if he is succesful in his campaign to become Mayor of Londonistan. Sounds great doesn't it. But then you find he is not talking about homes for the thousands of ex-servicemen both single and married who are currently homeless. Boris is thinking big. Big but not British.

More five bedroomed house to be built. And who needs these huge homes? Why the people who make up the Charedi Community in London and whose votes he is currently chasing after. The Charedi are an extremely orthodox form of Judaism that believes that the ideal number of children for a woman to have is around about 12. Good old Boris. Always thinking of others. Except his own kind.

Taking an opportunity to ingratiate himself further, he launched an attack on the British National Party by saying:
“I think racism and anti-semitism are a poison in the bloodstream of Europe. We must not allow the BNP to take on any aura of moderation and become in any way acceptable.”
Just as well Boris is a pig ignorant buffoon, otherwise he might have done a bit of research and discovered a little bit about the Charedi beliefs towards non-jews and also their appalling treatment of women.

You may have heard about the now infamous case of Miriam Shear, a 50 year old religious American immigrant to Israel, who was brutally beaten on November 24 for refusing to move to the back of the bus, on a line that was not even officially designated as “mehadrin.” Read the account in her own words here.

I wont go into their believes in detail, other than to say they consider themselves to be the chosen ones and everyone else something less than human. They, at least, are not trying to blow us to bits in Our Country and live peacefully enough behind their Eruvs. Remember them?

Boris is at No 8 in his younger days. Diddy Dave Cameron is at No 2. Nothing like the "Old Boy" network to get on in this world

Not to be outdone by Boris, Red Ken is also working away like a little beaver to get the Jewish vote also and you can read that here. Ken must be hoping that the Jews have forgotten his previous attacks on them and their faith. Dream on Ken.

Do you live in an Eruv?

Borehamwood eruv. Click for larger image.

You have to hand it to the Jewish faith. Nobody can bend the rules and religion to suit their lifestyle the way they do.

An Eruv is a religious boundary that allows followers of the faith to do things within its area on a Sabbath that they would not be permitted to do should they follow their religion according to the book.

Things like, carry anything, even your house keys and baby are not permitted outside the Eruv. So in order to do the usual normal things of life, they have come up with a solution. They enclose an area within a notional boundary marked by walls and wires on six metre poles. Within this area they can behave as they do on any other day. Who pays for the poles? Ratepayers.

Now let me make it clear. I am not attacking the eruv on religious grounds. I am attacking it as a divider of neighbours who are and are not Jewish.

There are many eruvs in Our Country, the latest is one that surrounds Borehamwood. Irregardless of whether or not you are Jewish, if you live in Borehamwood, you are now effectively living within a Jewish enclave.

Now despite many objections from non Jews giving various reasons, planning permission was granted and now many residents feel that their wishes have been overruled. Many Christians are not happy that their places of worship are now contained within another religions boundaries.

Mr Terry Sanderson of the National Secular had the following statements to make about the eruvs.

“This is another example of excessive religious correctness. Whatever the religious want, they get, however foolish and potentially dangerous it might be. This eruv is supposed to relieve orthodox Jews from the need to observe self-imposed restrictions. Many don’t allow themselves to carry keys, for instance, or push babies in prams or even use walking sticks on the supposed Sabbath. But they believe that if they are within this special wire boundary they can be excused the need to observe such rules – rules which make no sense in the first place. “

“While other boroughs and towns are trying to reduce the number of roadside distractions and impediments, Hertsmere has added to them quite unnecessarily. These poles are a nuisance and a danger. Personally I can’t get my head round how anyone can think that the acceptability of behaviour can be determined by the erection of a few poles and wires.
”

You could even take the view of some residents that the motivation was more to do with making a religious statement as to show how powerful the religion is and who is really in charge.

Some other famous eruvs are The White House and the European Court of Human Rights. Why not try a google search for eruv on images. You would be surprised how many there are.

The British National Party would not grant planning permission to any religion that sought to create a religious divide by the creation of physical barriers no matter how symbolic. The BNP believes in the freedom of all true religions but believes that Great Britain is a Christian Country and that should be respected by all.
