The immigration test precedent, the legal ruling
To summarise the case of Baljinder Singh V Hammond: “An immigration officer is entitled || to conduct an examination of a person || IF he has information in his POSSESSION which causes him to inquire.” This legal ruling would seem to suggest that discriminating, mass stop and searches of all non-whites unfortunate enough to passes […]
“No social order ever disappears before…
“No social order ever disappears before all the productive forces for which there is room in it have been developed; and new, higher relations of production never appear before the material conditions of their existence have matured in the womb of the old society.” — Karl Marx: From The Preface To “A Contribution To The […]
The People’s Assembly – Saturday 22 June 2013 9am – 5pm #PplsAssembly

Eton Rifles – What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?
In 2011 the King’s Scholarship application ‘General Paper’ form for the ‘elite’ Eton school asked 13-year old boys to imagine being Prime Minister in 2040 (they even got the age/timing about right, coincidentally) and writing a speech to justify as “necessary” and “moral” deploying the army to shoot protesters dead. (c) The year is 2040. There […]

John Cooper QC, as published in the Evening Standard on Thursday 11 April 2013 (emphasis added).
