mmercial street morley ls27 8hy why do pirates know more about liberty than politicians ever will january 6 2010 in history politics tags culture digital economy bill freedom justice piracy politics thoughts leave a comment the proposed digital economy bill is nothing more than a form of collective punishment that will disproportionately effect the poorer sections of society which unfortunately includes me this legislation goes against many of the core values on which our justice system was founded innocent until proven guilty anybody in reality it is designed to protect the interests of large multi national monopolies who have been fleecing people for years now the big boys would like to use our government to protect and expand their ill gotten gains anyone who professes a love for liberty should take a stand against this travesty of justice before they decide to make pirates of us all it was legendary priest turned pirate caraccioli who observed that every man was born free and had as much right to what would support him as to the air he respired that the vast difference betwixt man and man the one wallowing in luxury and the other in the most pinching necessity was owing only to avarice and ambition on the one hand and a pusillanimous subjection on the other ambition creeping in by degrees the stronger family set upon and enslaved the weaker and this additional strength over run a third by every conquest gathering force to make others and this was the first foundation of monarchy nowadays our government has become such that it protects the strong at the expense of the weak it has abandoned the principles of liberty and justice to appease those latter day monarchs the corporations and the bankers once again the only reasonable course of action for those of us who possess a freeborn heart is piracy or at least a bit of wi fi sharing the kids are alright on childermas december 28 2009 in calendar traditional tags children culture liberty politics thoughts william cobbett writing leave a comment the massacre of the innocents at bethlehem by matteo di giovanni nowadays it seems as if our children are either being targeted by marketing men or demonised by the media but we once celebrated them on at least one day of the year i m not a christian but i do have a soft spot for the holidays traditions and rituals which used to make the english year so much more interesting i can t help feeling that we would help both our community and our sanity if we slowed down and observed some of the old customs especially when they offer a marked change to our everyday expectations childermas also known as cross day or holy innocents day commemorates the time when according to the bible king herod ordered the massacre of all children under the age of two in bethlehem in an attempt to thwart the prophecies surrounding the infant jesus matthew 2 16 18 when herod realised that he had been outwitted by the magi he was furious and he gave orders to kill all the boys in bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under in accordance with the time he had learned from the magi then what was said through the prophet jeremiah was fulfilled a voice is heard in ramah weeping and great mourning rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because they are no more the tragic nature of this event commemorated in england on december 28th led to the belief that the day itself was unlucky so much so that the day on which childermas fell would be regarded as unlucky throughout the year with childermas falling on the dreaded back to work monday this year a lot of people will sympathise with this belief it was said that anything started on this day would be doomed to failure a popular saying for failed ventures was it must have been begun on cross day but childermas was also a time to celebrate children and childhood and it is for this reason that i believe we should revive the custom on december 28th children were given a degree of freedom that was denied them the rest of the year they were allowed to play in churches and were not allowed to be chastised by anyone daily mail readers may think that this is a normal state of affairs for children in the 21st century but western children live in a culture which is so physically and psychologically restricting that it s no wonder that some of them go off the rails maybe they need to be allowed to be children rather than consumers giving our children free rein on at least one day of the year would not only help them develop a healthy taste for liberty it would remind us of the freedom that we ourselves have lost spend a day letting your children call the shots and i guarantee that you will have a day to remember their pace of life is as hectic as our own but it is far more human where our day is filled there s is fulfilled as his finest biographer richard ingrams observed william cobbett urged parents to make their childrens lives as pleasant as you possibly can i have always admired the sentiment of rousseau upon this subject the boy dies perhaps at the age of ten or twelve of what use then all the restraints all the privations all the pain you have inflicted upon him he falls and leaves your mind to brood over the possibility of you having abridged a life so dear to you i do not recollect the very words but the passage made a deep impression upon my mind just at the time too when i was about to become a father i was resolved to forego all the means of making money all the means of making a living in any thing like fashion all the means of obtaining fame or distinction to give up everything to become a common labourer rather than make my children lead a life of restraint and rebuke if we for but one day can match cobbet s resolve then we may well do our children the greatest service any parent can hope for we may instil in them an independence that so many of us will never get to enjoy happy childermas the daily mail is a bitter and vitriolic daily british newspaper which is so authoritarian in its philosophy that it once described the leader of the black shirted british union of fascists buf how homoerotic is that oswald mosley as a leader of genius the cutty wren december 26 2009 in folk music traditional tags boxing day chumbawamba wren leave a comment a traditional song with significance

tags culture england libertarian liberty patriotism politics thoughts 1 comment for various reasons largely work related this blog has been pretty quiet recently but after re reading paul kingsnorth s what england means to me post i have been reminded of the reasons why i created this blog in the first place i cannot be the only person to love england hate fascism so from now on i shall endeavour to try harder i e post more blogs and actively fight for the english libertarian cause in the meantime here s paul s excellent post what england means to me paul kingsnorth a few years back i found myself in a narrow valley on the border between england and wales there are some landscapes fewer as time passes in which it seems that time has if not exactly stood still then been hijacked by some outside force for its own ends there are some landscapes in which you can sense the ancient heart of the place in the air this was one of them it was a landscape of scattered hill farms high moors hedge lined holloways and winding brooks save for the odd industrial shed tacked on to a farmyard or barbed wire fence there was little of contemporary england about it there were few cars and everywhere there were textures the textures of this valley became more and more noticeable as i walked its length i took out my camera and began to photograph them at close quarters robbed of their wider context they look when printed like abstractions the jigsaw bark of an old tree white air bubbles on the surface of a blue pond another tree s bark glossy this time and mottled green moss on a purple gravestone tree roots snaking through the dust the parallel lines of a corrugated iron roof a legion of textures colours surfaces pictures crowding in on one another the patchy unplanned diversity of place this is what england means to me place above all is what makes my england a small nation shaped by humans for millennia has no place which does not bear the mark of that shaping contemporary england is a patina a palimpsest of historical eras of times of peoples everywhere there is colour culture history but england means something else too england means the rise of capital the birthplace of the industrial revolution england means enclosure and empire england invented much of the modern world and what it invented is now destroying it england is eating itself look around you where are those textures what is happening to them where i live the texture of place is rapidly being overrun by the corporate non places which our economic progress apparently requires of us the malls the motorways the clone stores the faceless ragbag of globalised plasticised corporate clutter which allows us to grow and compete and remain players in a global economy which is spiralling out of control it is an economy which eats up colour and character and spits our conglomeration and control in the brave new world of flexible labour markets 24 hour consumerism and 5 air tickets belonging to a place and having any feeling for it is a serious stumbling block on the road to the future but what england also means to me is the spirit of its people a spirit which has at its heart a contradiction one the one hand the english are frustratingly some of the most obedient people on earth their pubs can be sold off for executive flats their landscapes ripped apart by motorways their folk culture scorned their community gathering points shut down in the name of health and safety their high streets scoured out by tesco and most of them will just shrug their shoulders moan about the government and head for the out of town shopping centre sometimes the english could do with being a bit more well french and yet there is another english spirit too which arouses in me hope rather than despair it is the spirit which marches to save post offices which ties itself to bulldozers to save beauty spots from destruction which saves its local pub and fights yet another shopping mall development in its historic towns it is perhaps the spirit channelled by gerrard winstanley john ball john clare william morris and william cobbett who railed two hundreds years ago against the thing the thing is still with us it s bigger now and greedier and it eats texture patina place and peculiarity for breakfast but maybe just maybe england is beginning to wake up i hope so paul kingsnorth s book real england is published by portobello www realengland co uk pub revolution october 17 2009 in politics real ale tags action cutlure politics thought leave a comment important news for beer lovers pub revolution are a growing army of tenants and leaseholders who have quite frankly had enough of the constant bullying and blatant theft of the pubcos united we stand and divided we fall at the current rate of 53 a week and rising waiting for the outcome of all the government enquiries and ludicrous spin will be too late for us all we have decided it s time to take control of our own destiny become empowered and take our trade back for ourselves before this great british institution becomes a thing of the past the stark reality is that our cash is all that is enabling the bullying pubcos to survive if they didn t have our money they wouldn t exist let s do it let s have a pub revolution and finish them off join us now if we can get mass support up and down the country then on a date tba we will all stop paying them rent and buying tied products all at the same time it will a cut off their cash flow sending them under b enable us to reduce our prices for the consumer across the board getting them back into our pubs c allow us to pay our bills d enable us to earn a living again e we can pay a fair rent to the administrators f give us the cash to carry out essential repairs that the pubcos should be doing but aren t g give us freedom of product choice great for the consumer and small brewer even the big boys will get a better price from us h even the machine operators will be better off they won t have to pay the pubcos royalty fees i no more trumped up invoices for rating appeals j no more emergency delivery charges k no more brulines gestapo l and no more useless brms the list is endless please feel free to add to it what can they do take us all to court not without our money they can t besides it takes on average 3 months to get one leaseholder into court for none payment so imagine how long it would take to get 10 thousand into court they wouldn t survive one month if we all stopped paying how long would we stop payment for as long as it takes pledge your support now and let s take control of our trade our livelihoods and our lives once we ve taken care of publican enemy number1 addressing all the other issues that have created the perfect storm will be a whole lot easier sign up and pledge your support now bring on the pub revolution now if like me you have a passion for real ale then you owe it to yourself to try and help to
