CRIME OF THE CENTURY

Picture the scene: Scotland’s First Minister indulges in another of his race-baiting speeches, spitting out the word ‘white’ with enough thinly-veiled venom to warrant a complaint; once back home, there’s a knock at the door from the Edinburgh Police, who inform him he’s just committed a Hate Crime and they cart him off to the nick. That’s the trouble with creating monsters; the monster has a habit of eventually turning on the creator. Just ask Maximilien Robespierre. The architect of the Terror during the aftermath of the French Revolution was ultimately responsible for dispatching thousands of his fellow citizens to a rendezvous with Madame Guillotine, and yet he met the same fate himself a year after introducing the policy. The brief stint he enjoyed as the most powerful and feared figure in France saw Robespierre as a prominent member of the National Convention’s Committee of Public Safety – a title used without irony, yet one which has had echoed down throughout history ever since; it’s there in every totalitarian state that calls itself a Democratic Republic, and it’s there in legislation masquerading as fairness, tolerance and equality. War is Peace, indeed.

The build-up to Scotland’s notorious Hate Crime Act becoming law on April Fool’s Day (no joke) has been accompanied by a gaslighting campaign on the part of Police Scotland, convincing every Scotsman and woman that they have a bigoted little orange cartoon monster inside them, one that can erupt into a tirade against all ring-fenced ‘oppressed minorities’ at a moment’s notice. Presumably this warning only addresses those Scots unfortunate enough to have been born with white skin, mind, for as we all know, racism is an exclusively white ailment. The vagueness of what can be defined as ‘hatred’ in this soon-to-be law means the definition is entirely in the hands of those entrusted to police it, employing subjectivity and emotional responses to decide. So open to interpretation is this definition that talk has been of actors in stage plays or performers at the Edinburgh Festival being arrested should a complaint be lodged against them, and then there’s JK Rowling. The Edinburgh-based English author has already endured years of relentless online abuse from unhinged and demented Trans-activists accusing her of being the Antichrist, and some of these non-binary fruitcakes are planning to launch a series of complaints the day the Act becomes law in a bid to have her arrested for stating biological fact and for not pandering to narcissistic and misogynistic men in drag as they invade women’s safe spaces.

One of the most contentious – not to say worrying – sections of this Act is the possibility someone could be charged under the new law for stating an unfashionable opinion within the confines of their own abode. An Englishman’s home may once have been his castle, but it appears a Scotsman’s home could soon become a public space. Shades of the Chinese Cultural Revolution once again as younger members of the family are encouraged to grass-up their parents and report any indiscretions to the authorities; a similar policy used as a nightmarish example of an oppressive future society applied in the Dystopian 2002 movie, ‘Equilibrium’, though this approach was effectively road-tested for real at the peak of Project Fear, when reporting one’s neighbours for breaking the pandemic rules was regarded as a moral duty. Nobody yet knows precisely how this law will be enacted come April, though the threat to both freedom of speech and even freedom of thought is paramount. As yet, this will be restricted to north of the border, but a legitimate concern is the Labour Party, once in government, will cherry-pick whichever segments of the Act they fancy and seek to implement them UK-wide.

If so, perhaps whatever legislation arises can one day be used to prosecute Ministers of the Church of England as that doomed institution continues down its nihilistic path, fatally infected by an ideology that poisons all who contract it. In a desperate and misguided bid to stave off extinction, it would appear the Anglican branch of Christianity has morphed into a more contemporary cult and wholly embraced the modern mantra. The Archdeacon of Liverpool, Miranda Threlfall-Jones (yes, you guessed it – middle-class and white), has been criticised for comments that seem to be contenders for prosecution under Hate Speech. ‘Whiteness is to race what patriarchy is to gender,’ she tweeted. ‘So yes, let’s have anti-whiteness, and let’s smash the patriarchy.’ As ever, simply reverse the sentiment and imagine the outrage. The Original Sin theory that has long been the backbone of the Church of Rome has now been adopted by the Church of England, though the Sin in this context is the colour of one’s skin. Yeah, you’re doing a great job of bringing the community together, vicar. Oh, and let us not forget the calls of senior clergy to increase the Church’s ‘slavery reparations’ (laughable enough) from 100 million to 1 billion; I mean, is there anything these clueless c***s won’t do to come across as ‘on trend’? It’s pathetic.

Race and gender are the top priorities in such legislation; class prejudice never gets a look in, strangely enough, despite it being a far more successful divider in separating the rulers from the ruled. But Scotland is not alone; it’s just got in there quicker than anyone else. This cancer is endemic across the Anglosphere, after all. Canada, arguably the epicentre of Planet Woke under Trudeau, is poised to introduce legislation that will facilitate the arrest and detainment of people suspected of one day planning to commit a crime when they haven’t actually yet done so. Again, we’re seeing elements of an old movie predicting a future Dystopia being used as a blueprint for governing an allegedly democratic society, this time ‘Minority Report’, which coincidentally appeared the same year as ‘Equilibrium’. I guess few in 2002 anticipated where we’d be 22 years later, though there’s no doubt the pandemic was the litmus test for seeing how much Western governments could get away with in restricting the freedoms of their citizens. As it turned out, they got away with a hell of a lot, and now they’re emboldened by their success.

The resignation of Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has been a minor success for opponents of the Thought Police approach to governance espoused by so many of the draconian ideologues in charge of Western nations, post-pandemic. Varadkar ticked all the boxes, being pro-Net Zero and a devotee of the gender cult, aping Nicola Sturgeon in admitting violent male criminals posing as ‘women’ into women’s prisons. He even had his very own Hate Speech Bill, one that promised to deal with ‘incitement to hatred’ as long as that hatred was directed at the usual suspects, one he did his best to rush through the senate following the riots that occurred in Dublin last November as a result of a violent attack on a female crèche worker and three small children by an Algerian national. Varadkar had already turned a blind eye to concerns by Irish natives to mass immigration, branding any opponents of his rainbow nation with the familiar labels of far-right, racist and xenophobic; he wanted to arrest and imprison such opponents, much like Justin Trudeau freezing the bank accounts of his own opponents during the truckers’ protests a couple of years ago.

What these figures all have in common other than an adherence to a dogma not shared by the masses is an absolute loathing of those very masses. Technocrats to a man (and woman), the leaders elected to power on mandates they have no intention of honouring are hell-bent on appeasing every chattering-class fad at the expense of the genuine concerns harboured by the electorate. The pandemic demonstrated how to do it, and the post-war consensus appears to be to carry on regardless. Leo Varadkar’s resignation came about due to the overwhelming rejection of his attempts to alter the Irish constitution in the worst referendum result an Irish government has ever suffered; as with the ruling elite here in 2016, the utter inability to understand why this has happened exposes the width of the chasm between elected and electorate, something Scotland has evidently yet to work out.
