Police reaction to Woolwich murder offends white supremacist group

Members of White Resistance gather during
Bring Your Swastika to Work Day

A British white supremacist group has complained to police about the preferential treatment given to black Muslim offenders.

The brutal murder of a soldier in Woolwich this week by two young black Muslim men has shocked the British nation. The crime has resulted in the deployment of additional police officers around potential trouble spots, as concern grows about the threat of Islamic terrorism.

But White Resistance, a neo-Nazi group, claims that the actions of police are an affront to the white race.

“We and other white pride groups have been beating, bashing and murdering black and Muslim people for years and years”, said the group’s President, Barry “Buchenwald” Smith.

“While a number of our members have done serious jail-time for their offending, we’ve never been privileged enough to have almost the entirety of the British state security apparatus deployed against us.”

Mr Smith said it was unfair that black people were getting so many police resources thrown their way, while hard-working white racist thugs were being largely ignored.

“My boys are out there beating up on anyone whose skin colour we don’t like, and we’re lucky if we get a few lines in the local newspaper”, said Mr Smith.

“When one of my lads sticks a knife into a black kid there’s outrage for a few days, then it’s forgotten within a week.

“These two killers struck the jackpot, didn’t they? They were black and they were Muslim. How is that fair?”

British Prime Minister David Cameron has sought to justify the deployment of vast police resources in the aftermath of the Woolwich attack.

Speaking outside Downing Street he told reporters: “This was not just an attack on Britain and on the British way of life; it was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country.”

But Mr Cameron’s speech has been poorly received by members of White Resistance.

“There he goes again, giving Muslims preferential treatment”, said Barry Smith.

“I can’t remember any prime minister ever devoting as much time and attention to our own people. Nobody ever labels us as terrorists.

"Hey, Cameron, we’re just as much a threat to the British way of like as that lot. Fair’s fair!”

A fat, sweaty New Zealand racist

Thank you for your support

Dear Mr Lim

We were very pleased to read your column in the New Zealand Herald. You are absolutely right that you have nothing to fear from us. The security services exist to protect the people of New Zealand from all kinds of unsavoury types. These include Islamic terrorists, Maori extremists, cyber-criminals, and copyright infringers.

The one thing all these people have in common is that we don’t like them very much. Trust us, they aren’t the people you would want joining your local Rotary club.

We all understand the potential threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism, and the Boston bombing was a powerful reminder that we must remain vigilant against the risk of a terror attack motivated by hateful and twisted interpretations of the Koran.

Unfortunately, the public has become complacent about other threats to our security. Many of these threats are internal, and the people behind these threats are seldom taken seriously by the public. But we take them seriously. A suicide bomber can take out dozens of innocent people in an instant, but the threat posed to New Zealand’s economic sovereignty by environmentalists and Green Party MPs is no less grave.

If you think I am exaggerating, consider for a moment the dreadful harm a single Green Party MP can cause to a polite and pleasant dinner party. He or she will turn up with a bottle of undrinkable organic wine, refuse to touch the roast meal you spent hours cooking, and then hector your other guests about pollution and sustainability. We have all had an otherwise enjoyable evening utterly ruined in this way.

If one Green Party MP can inflict so much carnage on a single dinner party, imagine what will happen if we allow a group of them to take charge of the entire country.

You wrote: “if you have nothing to hide from the GCSB, then you have nothing to fear”. You are of course right. I am delighted to hear that you are a proponent of unlimited and unrestrained state power. If only we had more friends like you!

We have taken the liberty of bugging your phone, hacking into your email account, and installing cameras in your bedroom and toilet. I know you won’t mind, because we have interpreted your opinion piece as a consent to such activities.

But do not be concerned. Thanks to the good work of the GCSB, and various other shadowy organisations few people have ever heard of, you can rest easy at night knowing that if any extremist group tries to use mind-control to turn you into a copyright terrorist, we will be there to stop them.

Some people will question whether we have the legal power or authority to monitor your every move, with or without your consent, but we have got that angle covered. If you change your mind about our activities and decide to complain, we’ll just deny we did anything wrong and refuse to provide any details to you. You may have nothing to fear from us, but we have every reason to hide everything we do from you.

If you wouldn’t mind we’d also like you to reset all of your Facebook privacy settings, so everyone can see everything you post. If you’re not sure how to do this, just send us your password and we’ll arrange it all for you, so long as you’re not in any hurry. It might take a few weeks for us to sort your Facebook settings out, because the only person around here who understands the privacy settings is our receptionist, and she’s on holiday in Queensland with her boyfriend until next Wednesday.

Once again, thank you for supporting our tireless efforts to protect the people of New Zealand from the people of New Zealand. It’s great to know you’re right behind us, even as we are behind you, in front of you, above you, and all around you. Smile for the camera!

Yours sincerely

M.

Some advice, please

Hi readers

I need your advice on something. It will only take a moment of your time, and your feedback could make all the difference.

I'm thinking of going out tomorrow morning and shooting a bunch of people.

When the cops catch me and charge me with murder I'm going to protest and say they can't prove I did anything wrong and that the law is unclear. How could the authorities resist such a powerful argument?

Should I do this?

Dear John

I have a problem. I hope you can help me. Recently I haven’t been feeling well, and I seem to be getting worse.

Sherlock Shearer?

In Parliament on Thursday during his Budget speech, John Key likened David Shearer and Dr Russel Norman to Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in the famous Conan-Doyle novel The Hound of the Baskervilles.

It seems that John Key is so impressed by David Shearer's powers of deduction and razor-sharp mind, that he cannot help but praise his opponent.

I don’t like the MMP review. The review by the Electoral Commission was well-written and considered a lot of complex issues, but I just don’t like it. Maybe it’s their choice of font, or the paper they used.

Mike, I see you've been busy on Newstalk ZB's website, applauding the SkyCity convention centre deal.

Devil to take PM's soul in convention centre deal

An artist's impression of a soulless John Key

John Key will sell his soul to the Devil, in a deal announced with SkyCity and Beelzebub this morning.

Under the terms of the deal, SkyCity will spend approximately $402 million on the construction of a world-class convention centre.

In return, SkyCity will be granted an extra 230 poker machines and 40 more gaming tables, and the King of Hell will take John Key’s soul for eternity.

The Sky City deal: analysing the benefits

Under the deal Judgement Day will be postponed until at least 2048,
 and those who enter Sky City Casino will be cleansed of all sin.

I haven’t had time to analyse the Sky City deal in much detail, but it looks like a big win for taxpayers. Look at some of the benefits:
