Lacking In Energy

Instead of Russia, we are going to get our gas from Central Asia and North Africa, are we? Well, thank you so much, the EU - the Eurabian Union.

The President of the Eurabian Commission is, of course, a classic of his type: an utterly unrepentant old Maoist (yes, Maoist) turned rabid "free"-marketeer and Bush-loving warmonger. Such people - whether utterly unrepentant old Maoists, utterly unrepentant old Trotskyists, utterly unrepentant old Straight Left types, or whatever - are always strong supporters of "militant Islam", the only kind that there can ever be.

They sided with it in 1980s Afghanistan and in 1990s Bosnia. They side with it today in Turkey, Kosovo, Pakistan, Kashmir (wait for the Kosovo-inspired UDI there - the jungle drums are beating) and Chechnya. They side with it Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. They removed the bulwark against it in order to side with it in Iraq, and they wish to do the same in Syria. They also wish to side with it in Libya, where at least a third of the population adheres to the Sanusi synthesis of Wahhabism and popular Sufism. They look forward to siding with it in Xinjiang.

They side with it on our streets by supporting the limitless immigration necessitated by the "free" market. They sided with it when they engineered the removal of a son of the white working class as Mayor of London and his replacement with an Ottoman aristocrat of very recent extraction, who has publicly recited the Shahada in Arabic.

And they are now siding with it by wanting to make us as dependent on its past, present and future territories for gas as we are for oil.

No.

Our island stands on coal, and we can obtain uranium from our kith and kin in Canada. In those industries - clean coal, and nuclear power - we can provide high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs for the working class, and independence from Arab oil and Russian gas, thereby contributing significantly to the reversal of Thatcher's destruction of the economic base of paternal authority, and all in public ownership, which is British ownership.

And since we can do this, we must do it.
