Commons buffs may have noticed this yesterday, but it’s a hard spot in the latest Hansard.

A motion was made yesterday to limit access to the Palace. The record notes it as follows;

Business without Debate

Access to Parliament (United Kingdom Members of the European Parliament)

Motion made,

That the Resolutions of the House of 30 January 1989 relating to House of Commons Services and 6 December 1991 relating to Access (Former members and United Kingdom members of the European Parliament) shall cease to have effect insofar as they relate to United Kingdom members of the European Parliament.—( Mr. Spellar)

Hon. Members:

Object.

 

Thus the motion fell. It appears that someone from the Government was trying to stop MEPs from continuing to be issued with their own passes, and thus able to breeze in through security and use the Commons bars and restaurants.

An attempt to limit the damage to the reputation of Parliament by cutting down on the number of possible takers for the suet pudding or gin and tonics? Hardly likely, and most mysterious. Until you register that MPs could now find themselves perched on a bar stool next to an MEP from the BNP. Clearly someone found a bit of an administrative quandary there: one that has now as a result been embarrassingly left to very publicly dangle.

    “Until you register that MPs could now find themselves perched on a bar stool next to an MEP from the BNP.”
    As everyone here knows, changing the law to stitch up people the liberal left establishment hates is nothing new. The divide between morality and law has never been wider and the law’s position as a corrupt instrument of social engineering and frivolous legalised theft has never been clearer.
    The BNP, by the way, has MEPs because a democratic electorate, even in the face of massively antithetical establishment propaganda, voted them in. This is because the BNP is a natural reaction to the forced unnatural organisation of society inflicted mainly on the English working class. Each time an establishment figure publicly applies the dehumaniser “racist” to the BNP he reinforces the us-versus-them mindset of a now-sizeable alienated population.
    Establishment politicians should remember, from their towers of arrogance, that they are not sculptors and that we are not clay. They are there to represent us. The fact that they have failed to do this by ignoring immigration concerns, and have shut down dissent through miserable artificial taboos, has resulted in the rise of a party that does do it. The Tories and UKIP might do well to drop their anti-racism ticket and accept what people are really like. Like Enoch Powell did before he was destroyed by the usual brand of thug we see today.

    Whilst the policies of the BNP may not be everyone’s cup of tea let us remember one thing, They are a legal political party. Should we ban labour because tory supporters don’t like their policies, should we ban tories because labour don’t like their policies, should we ban liberal democrats because no one likes their policies ?.. no we don’t and neither should we ban nor prevent membership of a party that has policies some people don’t like. Voters make their own minds up about what policies to support and so it should be.
    Imagine if no one in government service could be a tory (whilst labour were in power)because their capitalist ideas didn’t match the state spending ideology of labour !!
    The screams would be unmerciful. Yet here we have a government that bans membership of a legal political rival, makes laws to stifle all debate about immigration under the guise of protection for minorities, panders to just about every anti christian movement there is and wonders why far right MP’s get elected ?
    Is it pure coincidence that all countries with high muslims poulation have been or are involved in some kind of civil war, Iraq, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Serbia / Croatia, Sudan, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Pakistan not to mention the numerous terror groups round North Africa, India, several prior communist states. All being fought by minority groups who ” just want to be treated fairly” in a country not their own who also just hapen to be hard line Islamists ?
    On the other hand it is illegal to open a christian church, openly preach christianity, behave in a European manner (i.e scantily clad, drink in public, Kiss in public, defame Mohammed) or any other act which offends the very touchy feelings of muslims in their own countries for which the penalties are far more severe than a bit of name calling. Is it any wonder people see the injustice from our own government and switch to voting for a party which at the very least shares some of their concerns.
