Is Anglophobia the fastest growing hate crime?

Anglophobia has always existed in the UK.  Not only do the Scots and Irish profess a dislike for the English but the English upper classes detest poor English people.  Unfortunately the Director of Public Prosecutions takes the view that hate crimes against the English are permissible.

One of the most striking examples of anglophobia in the past year was by Helena Kennedy in a program called "The Anatomy of Guilt" in which the English were held to be indelibly scarred with the two hundred year old "guilt" of slavery.  There was no mention of the appalling conditions of work experienced by poor English people 200 years ago.  The program took the view that all English people must be held to blame in the same way as some racists hold all Jews to be to blame for the death of Christ.

Working conditions for English people in 1800

Although the ancestors of most of the English had nothing to do with slavery 200 years ago there are some grandchildren of white colonials working in the BBC who feel guilty.  These are usually upper class anglophobes who try to blame the English in general for their sense of guilt.

The “Report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities” recently produced figures that showed that poor, white British people had some of the worst outcomes on all indicators when the effect of the wealthy white upper classes is removed.  The broadcast media condemned the Report.

British drama, commissioned by the white upper class, universally shows poor white men as racists and neo-nazis.  Some of this treatment is due to pictures of the British Union of Fascists from the 1930s which show Oswald Mosely inspecting lines of thuggish bodyguards.  There is, of course, no understanding of the fact that Mosely had been a labour government minister, the thugs were hired and the British Union of Fascists was a middle class movement.  Like in Germany, fascists were students, teachers etc. and not preponderantly working class. None of this affects the dramatists who assume that working class English = racist.

In their work commissioned for broadcasters dramatists seem to ignore the truth about race relations in the UK in the past.  They paint relations as monolithically racist in the past and only emerging from this hell as a result of recent efforts by the white upper class and extremist left wing movements.  The actual truth is that prior to the 1976 Race Relations Act race relations were little different from today.  See Personal Testimonies.  What has improved is that employers cannot discriminate so easily except against working class whites.  As a black commentator put it, recalling her upbringing in working class London:

"Today, working class white people have nowhere to go, so their poverty and alienation have become even more pronounced. They are dismissed from mainstream society as ‘scum’ and ‘chavs’, in effect, to the white elite, they have become as de-humanised as black people." https://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/patricia-daley/recalling-1970s-london-has-life-improved-since-for-young-poor-and-black

Non-white English people are as English as the rest of the population.  The fact that they have been singled out as "oppressed" by the broadcasters suggests that the rest of the population are the oppressors.  This is not the case.  Most of the rest of the population does not have the means to discriminate and oppress.  It can only be the upper classes who are doing the oppressing and discriminating and they are doing this to all races, white and black.  "White Supremacy" is upper class supremacy, by definition, because you are not supreme over anyone if you are poor.

The focus on racism against black people is a deliberate distraction from the general anglophobia of the upper classes.  The idea that English people, whether black or white, should believe that England is their country is appalling to those who wish to dispose of land and capital freely.  They believe that no-one except them owns and controls this land and they should be free to take themselves and their money anywhere they wish.  The fact that the English oppose this idea fills the upper class with hatred.

Ironically the BBC is the heart of anglophobia.  Something must be done about the BBC.  The other problem is that the Labour Party has abandoned the class struggle in favour of anti-racism because its active membership are now middle class students, teachers, academics and public sector workers. Labour is an anglophobic, middle class party.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president.  Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer,  recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue?  What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems.   Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out.  The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark.   Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions.  The full plans for Eurozone political union ( EMU Stage
