When Non Democrats show their colours

Two sets of stories, one theme, struck me this week.

In South Africa supporters of Jacob Zuma have threatened unrest if he is jailed for corruption ... they are not prepared to accept the law when they don't like it, nor to accept democratic norms as binding on them if they don't fit their agenda. Similarly President Mbeki has been accused of corruption as well ..... and no one expects the 'rule of law' to cause him any real problems.

Compare and contrast with Israel where Prime Minister Olmert is actively investigated by the Police and this is how the only true democracy in the Middle East or Africa behaves.

And back home in the UK, the followers of the 'Green' movement said that they would 'break the law' to stop a legally approved power station being built. In fact weapon stashes have been found by the police deposited in the nearby woods. The Greens and others deny any connection with them (of course).... but if you get in bed with the devil, your can't complain about the company!

The connection between these two sets of events, is that in both cases, the democratic "Rule of Law" is just ignored by groups who feel that their opinion is the only one that 'is above the law'.

It comes as no real surprise that supporters of an arrogant African politician, are proved to be 'anti-democrats' and prepared to ignore the 'rule of law', but for a main stream political party, such as the 'Greens', to be exposed as supporting actions, yet again, where illegal activities are used as 'legitimate tactics', is a disgrace.

Where are the rights of the policemen and women who are scarred and maimed by medieval throwing weapons in this green agenda, or is it like all those little 'trots' in the 1980's, open season on violence against any one who is not 'one of them'?

The 'Greens' are far too often caught in the company of 'Animal liberation Front' supporters, and the rent a mob of unemployed, 'New Age' thugs who accompany all the violence at 'Green' rallies, to be able to continually say 'its not us' or 'its a set up' ........

The fact is that the 'Greens' are the 'moderate middle class' face of a movement, that's basically violence based, with no respect for the 'rule of law' (where it doesn't involve the welfare benefit payments, which many of them require from our 'legally obtained' taxes), and certainly not in 'democratically obtained permissions' such as 'planning permission', which all buildings in the UK require.

This power station will have taken years to get permission, and the 'Greens' will have used the 'legal process' to oppose or slow the permission process down, but when the decision goes against them, they ignore all this process, and proceed to use a mob to try and stop the building, despite the fact that real locals depend upon it for jobs and survival.

Of course plunging Britain into darkness to support green fascism is all part of the plan for many of them, and to make people unemployed is no issue, they can just live on 'welfare' like many of the green mob do.

I repeat again ..... "When you get in bed with the devil, your can't complain about the company!"

I am no longer willing to listen to the Greens, or their supporters, until they totally repudiate all violence (like Gandhi), and accept that if the "Rule of Law" isn't upheld, than only the "law of the jungle" is left.
