A pub singer has been arrested on suspicion of racism for singing the classic chart hit Kung Fu Fighting.
The song, performed by Simon Ledger, 34, is said to have offended two Chinese people as they walked past the bar where he was singing.
The entertainer regularly performs the 1974 number one hit, originally by disco star Carl Douglas, at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown, on the Isle of Wight.

ANTI-ISRAEL ITALIAN MEMBER OF ISM THREATENED WITH DEATH BY GAZA SALAFIST TERRORISTS
Well, what’s one to expect while galavanting around Gaza teaming with fundamuslims. Dhimmis are pawn, tools to be used, whether in demonizing Israel or getting some of your fellow terrorist thugs back from other terrorist thugs. KGS
Gazans Abduct Italian ISM Activist

Follow Israel news on and .
Salafist Muslims in Gaza have kidnapped Vittorio Arrigoni, an Italian member of the anti-Israel International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Bethlehem-based Ma’an News reported Thursday.
The kidnappers belong to A-Tawheed wal Jihad, a terror group of the Salafist Muslim stream. They have released a video showing Arrigoni bruised, tied and blindfolded, and text scrolling across the screen “threatens that he will die unless Hamas releases Salafist prisoners by 5 p.m. Friday.”
The organization wants Hamas to release all of the members of their organization who are currently jailed. Topping the list is a senior member of the group, Hisham al-Sa’adi.
Sources in Gaza told Voice of Israel state-run radio that Arrigoni has been living in Gaza for several years after arriving there on one of the Free Gaza boats.
Arrigoni writes a blog for for Guerrilla Radio and for communist newspaper Il Manifesto. During Israel’s Cast Lead counter terrorist offensive in Gaza, he wrote: “Israel has every right to laugh and sing, even while it massacres its neighbor. Palestinians are only asking to die a different death, one of old age.”
NOTE: Vittorio Utopia Arrigoni during happier times shouting down Israel with his Pali (at the time) friends.

Police ‘hid’ abuse of 60 girls by Asian takeaway workers linked to murder of 14-year-old
TIMESONLINE… At least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex by workers at seedy takeaways linked to the murder of a 14-year-old girl.
Children as young as 11 were targeted by mainly Asian staff at fast food outlets in Blackpool. They were offered food, alcohol and cigarettes in return for sexual favours.
An unpublicised police report produced after 14-year-old Charlene Downes vanished in 2003 found the girls, most if not all white, had been victims of the ‘honey pot’ premises. There were claims last night that the report was suppressed for reasons of political correctness.
Four years later another girl, 15-year-old Paige Chivers, also went missing. Detectives believe she was killed like Charlene, whose body has never been found.
Two Middle Eastern restaurant owners were acquitted over Charlene’s murder in 2007 and the crime remains unsolved. Continue Reading →
The New Puritans Have Bolted.
One of my favourite plays/movies is The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. I never studied it in school, so I never got to pull it apart scene by scene, line by line, and therefore learned to love it just as it is.
One thing that I did pick up along the way regarding this play is that it’s supposed to be an allegory for McCarthyism and the rooting out of communists in America in the 1950s.
The fact that McCarthy was right is often overlooked or ignored, so “McCarthyist” tends to be seen as a derogatory term.
Now, here in Melbournistan, we have our very own witchhunt going on with columnist/journalist Andrew Bolt’s head being in the noose.
His crime?
Well, according to the Racial Hatred Act, (yes, we actually have one of those.Who knew??) several of Bolt’s columns back in 2009 offended a few people.
18C.(1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private,
if:
(a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend,
insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people;
and(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic
origin of the other person or of some or all of the people in the
group. Note: Subsection (1) makes certain acts unlawful. Section 22
allows people to make complaints to the Human Rights and Equal
Opportunity Commission about unlawful acts. However, an unlawful act
is not necessarily a criminal offence. Section 26 says that this Act
does not make it an offence to do an act that is unlawful because of
this Part, unless Part IV expressly says that the act is an offence.“(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an act is taken not to be done in
private if it:(a) causes words, sounds, images or writing to be communicated to the
public; or(b) is done in a public place; or
(c) is done in the sight or hearing of people who are in a public place.
Unfortunately, the fair State of Victoria is known for it’s remarkably draconian vilification laws.
They never seem to be applied equally; Christians and Andrew Bolt seem to be the main targets, but that is no surprise living in our current climate of unease.
As Zenster* likes to say: there are a lot of skinless people living in our sandpaper world.
Which leads us to this week, where Andrew Bolt is on trial for effectively hurting people’s feelings. As a layperson, with all the necessary lack of credentials in law, that’s how I see it.
We do have a remarkable number of committees, statutory bodies and grants available for people of aboriginal descent, to the extent that it does sometimes feel (as a white person), that there is a separate civilisation living alongside mine.
There is even a section of the Magistrates’ Court that is available only to those seen to be of aboriginal descent.
With all of this opportunity, and positive discrimination in favour of a small percentage of the population who have a different culture to the majority (2.5% of the pop at last census), you’d think that the last thing to worry about would be people getting upset by a few columns written by someone who’s known to stir the possum with his opinions.
Let’s face it, Andrew Bolt has upset plenty of people over the years, up to and including magistrates, so it’s not like anyone would be surprised if his opinions are not universally welcomed.
It’s interesting that so many people think that Bolt is so evil and racist.
It’s also interesting that the prosecuting QC in this court case was able to suggest that Bolt’s opinions are akin to the eugenics movement which led to the development of the Nazi Final Solution.
I guess the idea of “free speech” is rather amorphous, when QCs can play the nazi card with no apparent fall out, but questioning culture is a rather large and legally tricky minefield.
As Ron Merkel says, there’s an “us and them” mentality, but only one side appears to be allowed to have it.
Then again, as Michael Connor notes:
Mr Merkel also said, “This case is not about free speech.”

MUSLIM POLITICIAN CAUSES STIR IN FRANCE BY SUGGESTING MUSLIMS WEAR A FIVE POINTED STAR
They are shameless. Utterly. The OIC denies Islamic anti-Semitism while shamelessly exploiting the Holocaust of the Jews. KGS
H/T Kumitonttu
COMMENT from Daled Amos: “I suppose Dahmane does not appreciate the irony that it was the Muslims themselves who imposed distinctive clothing on Jews and other non-Muslims for centuries–and served as the inspiration for the Nazi’s yellow Jewish star.”
“A lay Muslim politician caused a stir this week by suggesting Muslims wear a five-pointed green star to protest against what he called persecution recalling that of wartime Jews forced by the Nazis to wear a yellow Star of David.”
Weighing in on an issue that is tearing apart President Nicolas Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party, the Conference of French Religious Leaders said the discussion about respect for France’s secular system could only spread confusion at a turbulent time.
The UMP plans to hold a public forum on secularism next week that critics decry as veiled Muslim-bashing to win back voters who defected to the far-right National Front at local polls last week and could thwart Sarkozy’s reelection hopes in 2012.
Sarkozy’s allies are split over the populist strategy, with moderates such as Prime Minister Francois Fillon publicly opposing what they see as the UMP’s drift to the far right.
Stressing that faith should foster social harmony, the religous leaders said the debate could “cloud this perspective and incite confusion that can only be prejudicial.”
[…]
“This fascist climate evokes the sombre history of the Occupation in France, which sent thousands of Jews by train to the death camps,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.
Richard Prasquier, head of the Jewish umbrella group CRIF, called the green star idea “totally grotesque.”
Abderrahmane Dahmane, who was fired as Sarkozy’s advisor for diversity issues this month after criticising the UMP debate, also criticised Cope for suggesting Muslims should no longer pray in Arabic — the language of the Koran — in their mosques.
Britain, Italy hold out Gaddafi exile prospect
Apparently Gaddafi is a bad enough guy that the UN will bomb this piss out of him but his crimes are not bad enough for an arrest.
If Gaddafi is allowed to go into exile how much of Libyas weath will go with him and if this happens how much money from the taxpayers of the west be required to “rebuild” and “stabalize” Libya?
LONDON (Reuters) – More than 40 governments and international bodies gathered in London on Tuesday to plan for a Libya without Muammar Gaddafi, with Italy and Britain suggesting he might be allowed to go into exile.
With fighting raging between rebels and Gaddafi loyalists, Italy has put forward a proposal for a political deal to end Libya’s crisis, including a quick ceasefire, exile for Gaddafi and dialogue between rebels and tribal leaders.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague also implied exile might be a way to take Gaddafi out of the picture and settle the six-week-old uprising against his 40 years in power.
“We want him to leave power and that’s what we’ve consistently said to the Libyan regime. We are not in control, of course, of where he might go,” Hague told the BBC, adding he believed Gaddafi should face the International Criminal Court. Continue Reading →
Oxford St. protest against the Libya action by African group
These guys clearly can’t decide who the good guys are. America and France are evil for attacking Qaddafi and his forces and Qaddafi is evil because he isn’t Muslim enough presumably.

HASSLED BY ICE IN MIAMI: YOU A PRACTICING CHRISTIAN……?
Thanks to Clair Lopez and a certain other who will go nameless (you know who you are, but that’s what matters most), this story is getting some legs. The Tundra Tabloids’ good friend and counterjihad colleague, Elisabeth, was treated rather unfairly at the immigration desk upon her entry to Miami, the TT posted on it earlier. Clair Lopez adds her own thoughts.
NOTE: That’s the TT’s right shoulder in the picture.
In addition to querying Wolff about her speech and the conference, the ICE officers wanted to know why she was traveling alone, where her husband was, how she earned a living, and most inappropriate of all, whether she were a “practicing Christian.” A Dutch colleague of Wolff’s, also to speak at the conference, was similarly subjected to lengthy and hostile questioning by ICE officials, both in Amsterdam and at JFK Airport upon arrival in the U.S. After looking at the text of his speech, one of the ICE officials in Amsterdam flatly told the Dutch citizen that his activism against shariah Islam “is discrimination.”
Both Wolff and her colleague ultimately were released and permitted to continue their travel in the U.S., but were sent off with the explicit warning to Wolff that she should “tone down the rhetoric.”
While ICE and other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have the legal duty to scrutinize would-be visitors to the U.S. at points of entry, what appears to be gratuitous harassment on grounds apparently related to issues of free speech is inappropriate. Wolff was convicted in Austria under laws that are incompatible with the right to free speech enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment. No American could ever be convicted in the U.S. for “denigration of the teachings of a legally recognized religion.” Belief systems, Ideology, and religious teachings are not off-limits from criticism in this country. Not yet anyway.

£50 insult to Britain’s war dead: Veteran’s fury as poppy burner enjoying a life on benefits gets paltry fine and mocks soldiers
- Despite saying he would pay more for a parking fine, Choudhury said he would not pay up
Emdadur Choudury hurling abuses at the very people who pay for his upkeep in welfare benefits. Great going Britain, it was nice knowing you while it lasted!
Emdadur Choudhury, who didn’t bother to attend the hearing yesterday, claimed the charge levelled against him was ‘ridiculous’
Choudhury, from Bethnal Green, East London, was found guilty of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour by District Judge Howard Riddle, following a one-day trial last month.
The maximum fine possible was £1,000, plus legal costs, and Judge Riddle said he had no doubt Choudhury had set out to shock and offend. Yet he fined him only £50, plus a £15 victim surcharge.
Although Choudhury sneered that he would have been fined more than £50 for a parking offence, he is refusing to pay. However the bill will be picked up by his ‘good friend’ Anjem Choudary, the notorious firebrand preacher.

US AGREES TO REBUKE ISRAEL AT UN AS IRAN SENDS SHIPS THROUGH SUEZ
The Tundra Tabloids has warned about this moment for over three years. Obama lied to US Jews and Christians in his campaign promises about protecting Israel, it was plain as day if one bothered to take a look at all the people he was surrounding himself with as advisors. What the Obama administration is doing, is actually taking serious a Palestinian resolution condemning the settlements in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria.
Obama: Ya see Moody, it all works out in the end
What this means is, Obama is considering the lesser of two evils when he should be dismissing either with the wave of the hand. He knows all too well that signing on to the alternative option of “not accepting the legitimacy of the settlements“, will invigorate, and enable Israel’s enemies to ramp up the demonization of the Jewish state on the international level.
But that’s not the only worry Israel has, this disaster of a US presidency, in both foreign and domestic policies, has shown an amateurism not seen since the Carter years and the enemies of both the US and Israel, most noticeably the Iranians, have taken note, and are busy flexing their muscles while the US has been barely able to mutter a response. This disastrous reincarnation of Carter-like amateurism will be the lasting legacy of the Obama (one term) administration.
It’s not a small feat to wrestle the mantle of the worst presidency for failures in both foreign and domestic policies from the neck of former US president, Jimmy Carter, but that is what Barack Hussein Obama has managed to do, and in a rather convincing way. The TT assumes that the Israelis would agree with its analysis as well. KGS
NOTE: The wording of the document does indeed make it problematic for the Arabs to accept, (not declaring that pre-existing settlements as illegitimate) but from a propaganda perspective, what matters most, is if they do accept it. It’s bound to be a propaganda victory for the opposition, who will most undoubtedly promote it as a US’ rejection of the entire Israeli settlement policy, no matter how many times it’s explained to mean otherwise, the anti-Israel opposition and the media will just run with it.

In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel in Security Council
FP: Posted By Colum Lynch Wednesday, February 16, 2011 – 6:00 PM Share
The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.
But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.
Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. The Palestinian delegation, along with Lebanon, the Security Council’s only Arab member state, have asked the council’s president this evening to schedule a meeting for Friday. But it remained unclear whether the Palestinian move today to reject the U.S. offer is simply a negotiating tactic aimed at extracting a better deal from Washington.

Navy on alert as 2 Iranian warships transit Suez Canal
By YAAKOV KATZ
02/17/2011 00:50
Lieberman: This is a provocation that proves the Iranians’ overconfidence is growing from day to day.
The Israel Navy was tracking two Iranian warships as they were set to make a rare crossing of the Suez Canal early Thursday morning.
The vessels were to cross into the Mediterranean Sea on their way to Syria. Defense officials said Israel would monitor them, although their presence in the sea would not change anything for the navy’s operational deployment.
“It is strange for the Iranian Navy to use the Suez Canal since it really doesn’t have anything to do in the Mediterranean Sea,” one official said.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman called the planned transit of the canal by the ships a “provocation that proves that the overconfidence of the Iranians is growing from day to day.”
Speaking at a meeting in Jerusalem of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Lieberman lashed out at the international community, which he said was not doing enough to confront Iranian provocations.
He also said he expected the world to “put the Iranians in their place. We are the true allies of the United States in the region, and the only ones that share its values. The international community needs to understand that Israel will not be able to ignore these provocations forever.”
