Kraft Eats Cadbury

The British Establishment F***s us over.

The British establishment once f****d over the whole world, but now they are relegated to f**** over the British people and piggy-backing on the murderous US imperial adventure.

I am furious. Cadbury is being taken over by Kraft and the news media sees it as something natural and normal. They focus on "keeping jobs in Britain". The bullshit excuses begin on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme just after their uncritical little vignette on Prince William visiting Australia. The Today programme talks about the takeover of a emblematically British company as if it were an inevitable and natural event.

In no way does our establishment sees itself as British. It has no loyalty whatsoever to people simply because they happen to be living on these British Isles. The establishment's flim-flam disguise of Britishness is so absolutely pathetic it is stunning. Cue the flowing hypocrisy in all British media outlets.

But think of it. These parasites are the dregs of a colonial empire. In the past,  in every far flung place (from South Africa to Montenegro, from Australia to Alberta, from New Delhi to Hong Kong and Buenos Aires) representatives of the British empire manipulated, repressed, murdered, exploited and violated every human right so that they could extract wealth.

How naive it would be of us to expect that these same people: these pirate-killers, these duplicitous two-faced racist ethnocidal sneak-thiefs, could ever have developed any sense of loyalty to their own host population in Britain.

Why should we be surprised when the British establishment in 2010, relegated for over half a century to being small sucker fish attached to the Great White USA, should allow every and any British company to be bought up by foreign nationals? It's no skin off their nose that control over the British economy moves across the Atlantic. BP is controlled by the Americans, so is BAE. and there is hardly any a important UK profit making company that isn't in the hands of foreign interests.

Let's face it, any member of the establishment - even someone on its fringes - will have a share portfolio, will have a pension that depends on the fortunes of unethical companies. They will profit when the companies their shares depend on reap benefits from international conflict, from the exploitation of cheap labour in Asia, the sale of British owned companies, or the destruction of the planet's ecosystem. Our establishment is a comprador elite that has no loyalty to anyone except itself. It's changed from being an imperial elite to being a comprador elite.

The British establishment is the most disloyal, vile, unpatriotic, selfish, self interested, dissembling bunch of smooth talking con men and spivs that has ever been spawned to walk the face of this planet. They are pathologically dedicated to seeking their own profit at the expense of everything and everyone else. British interests mean nothing at all to them.

The British establishment is an excrescence left over by an evil empire. It is the nastiest most parasitical group of people imagineable and they have created a culture of self justification that expresses itself in part through the through the BBC, through Mark Thompson through the Today programme and through James Naughtie.

Where are you Phil? You are scarce, my broer.

Hey Dom. Sorry. I hope you are well to my broer, as Dad would have said.

I never learned Afrikaans. It was their secret language. Of course a few words like futsak and lekker and so on.

I am determined to give ARS NOTORIA a bit of Ummph. I'm thinking of migrating it to a more professional format after and putting more energy into it.

I must admit I greatly admire the Communist University website. It really is a university.

I haven't forgotten that I promised to translate and summarise the Cuban commander's autobiography.

Do you think I should translate and post some of Che's African Diary for you to comment on. That would be almost as cool as Chillin' we could make a series of it.

I translate and post and you give the lowdown.

A warm welcome

. Why blog on ARS NOTORIA? I have set up this website,  ARS NOTORIA ,  (the notable art) as an opportunity for like-minded people like you to jot down your thoughts and share them with us on what I hope will be a high profile blog. . ARS NOTORIA is conceived as an outlet: a way for you to get things off your chest, shake those bees out of your bonnet and scratch that itch. The idea is that you do so in a companionable blogging environment, one that that is less structured - freer. Every article you care to write or photograph or picture you care to post will appear on its own page and you are pretty much guaranteed that people will read with interest what you produce and take time to look at what you post. Personal blogs are OK, but what we long for, if we can admit it, are easy-going, loose knit communities: blogging hubs where we can share ideas and pop in and out as frequently, or as seldom, as we like. You will be able to moderate and delete any of the comments made on 

Phil Hall: The Taleban are a drug cartel disguised as an Islamist movement

Truly the Taleban could have arranged as many bombings and terrorists acts as they liked in the UK. There are many Pashtun young men and women in cities in the UK who still have large extended families back in Afghanistan and who could be forced into doing something they should not. But guess what. So far there have been no attacks by Afghans on British soil. Why? It is a mystery. News comes from Afghanistan and the recent UN report that the Taleban and the drug trade are intertwined and that now the Taleban, who are mainly Pashtun, are officially in command of an international drug cartel.  News comes from Afghanistan that Taleban drug lords go to Dubai to live high on the hog and gamble and sleep with women and luxuriate in all the that the freedom to consume has to offer, while their footsoldiers, peasant fighters, are deluded and told that they are fighting a patriotic religious war.  And though they are told they are fighting a religious war what really matters to them in tr

Our Collective Caliban

At the risk of seeming digitally provincial, I’m going to illustrate my point with an example from a recent Guardian blog. Michel Ruse, who is apparently a philosopher, suggested that, whilst disagreeing with creationists on all points, and agreeing with Dawkins et al on both their science and philosophy, it might be wiser and more humane (humanist, even) not to vilify the religious as cretinous and incapable of reason. Which seems reasonable, to me. According to many below-the-line responses he is a ‘half-baked’ atheist, ‘one of the more strident and shrill New Apologists’ and, apparently, “needs to get a pair’. And that’s just from the first twenty comments. A recent article by a screenwriter at a US site was titled ‘Why I Won’t Read Your Fucking Screenplay.’ Tough guy. I wonder how his Christmas cards read. I’m going to sound like a maiden aunt dismayed by an unsporting bridge play and can perhaps be accused of needing to ‘get a pair’ myself (although, before you
