And I thought the Daily Mail was bad ........

So if you saw a brochure for a conference where these were the topics of conversation, what would you think?

* Problems caused by Third World Immigration into Western Countries
* Racial differences in intelligence and how to deal with them
* The Islamic threat

If you then read the profile of the speakers (a ragtag mob of various ultra right nutcases and pundits, without a useful achievement between them), would your view of the conference change at all (scroll down to the details below the Asterisks for the speakers and their "achievements").

So you are probably thinking "Why is the Barnet Eye asking us these questions about a conference run by such a bunch of basket cases?" Well the conference is being run in America by an organisation called "Preserving Western Civilisations". Not much surprise there, but what surprised me is that The Daily Telegraph is promoting it. You see the Daily Telegraph has a blog on it's website written by none other than the BNP GLA Member Richard Barnbrook. Now as regulars know, I usually put a link to other references, but I really can't be bothered to give him any more hits, it will only encourage him. Not only that but Mr Barnbrook has posted a link from his Telegraph blog to the website for this numpty conference - if you really want to check all this, the blog title is "Villainy, Plenary & Preserving Western Civilisation".

As to the conference, it seems that the main themes are a) Non whites are thicker than whites and b) Muslims threaten Western Society - as you'll notice from the speakers, there isn't exactly much balance for their debate. It seems that whilst the Far Right is only too happy to moan when they are not allowed to speak, when they get the chance, they are rather keen to stifle debate. Now I don't think that anyone who has seriously studied history would take any of this old cobblers seriously, let's face it Western Civilisation is based on engineering - Islamic Mathematicians invented the modern numbering system making maths possible. I just wonder what value the Daily Telegraph thinks there is in publishing such dross. Mr Barnbrook is paid a decent wage at the taxpayers expense to be a GLA member. Since he's been there he's managed a mere three press releases, the last one in October (Click HERE to see). It seems whilst Barnbrook berates other parties and members, he is rather lazy when it actually comes to doing his job, doesn't it? I'm not someone who is in favour of censorship, but I'm also not in favour of giving a platform to someone who has nothing sensible to say and merely uses it to promote discredited crackpots setting up conferences spouting insulting and inflammatory ideas. Now if I was an immigrant, Muslim or non white I'd be highly insulted by this Conference. As one of their supposed aims is to promote "Judeo-Christian ideals" - let me remind them of the words of St Paul - (1 Corinthians 10:31) "Never do anything offensive to anyone" (could't be clearer could it) - of course they never quote the inconvenient bits do they? All I can say about the Telegraph is that if this is the quality of contributor they are attracting, no wonder their circulation is sinking faster than the Titanic.
