Now finally some journalism we can really get our teeth into. Nurry, Mosellas, Cohen et al can merely dream of a scoop like this. Global warming is a British (British mind you) conspiracy to cause global genocide. Seemingly Prince Philip has something to do with it, and the British Imperial stooge Kevin Rudd.
I find it touching that someone thinks that Britain could still influence anything. We have had the 9-11 truthers, whose agenda for twaddle seemed to be a drought of girlfriend, but with copy like this, you’d be beating yourself off with a stick. Their logo also seems to include a giant penguin, an animal who will be first up against the wall when Prince Philip gets his influence stuck into them. A refreshing and mind expanding read. I recommend it. Found in Wembley Markets by Chris. Thanks for that mate.
As Lawrence said, I am just going outside and may be some time.

normally people who this nutty are only found on the fringes of the intertubes. they don’t normally get to print their opinions in their own paper, or actually form their own political party and stand for election.
unfortunately, due to proportional representation and preferences, there is a danger of crackpots like this getting elected. This is how a religious cretin like Stephen Fielding got to hold the balance of power in the Senate and decide this country’s fiskal policy.
Worse in the UK, where the BNP got elected, and now can demand air time on TV:

Agreed skink. As Bento suggests it can be a struggle when you get to those last few barking mad candidates on the ballot paper.
Of concern is the majority of people entering a polling booth who have no knowledge of, or concern for politics, and are choosing to vote based on the name of the party. I suspect these guys know this which is why they chose such a benign sounding title.

The latest from my CEC e-letter:
“This week’s proclamations of economic recovery, from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, President Barack Obama, and Kevin Rudd, amount to spitting into the wind of the exploding mass strike revolt in the U.S. and elsewhere, that is being driven by the worsening economic collapse.”
Cheery bunch, aren’t they?
“Lyndon LaRouche, the world’s most accurate economic forecaster, who is warning of a mid-October economic breakdown, identifies this growing revolt as a true “mass strike”, like that of 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell. Not long prior to that historic event, East German Secretary General of the Communist Party, Erich Honecker, declared that the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) would last a thousand years. But the people’s movement succeeded in bringing down the Berlin Wall in less than six weeks. (Click here to view a 7-minute video on this subject).
“Mr LaRouche warned President Obama this week to beware of walking in the footsteps of Honecker, who was completely out of touch with reality.
“Other world leaders, like Kevin Rudd, who have rammed “recovery talk” down the throats of the masses will face the same fate if they fail to speak the truth and propose real solutions as the economic breakdown crisis escalates over the months of September and October.
“Ultimately, if they wish to survive, politically, even physically, they will be forced to turn to the real economic recovery plans of LaRouche and the CEC:
• Bankruptcy reorganisation, through the Homeowners and Bank Protection Bill;
• Replacing the globalised monetary system with a new credit system, based on a new national bank;
• Large-scale infrastructure development, to meet current and future water, power and transportation needs.”
If they wish to “Survive… physically” WTF? Watch out for the odd looking bloke hanging out on the grassy knoll.
