Last week we discovered that if you’re traveling to Canada these days, the Great North version of the Thought Police can now stop you at the border for believing that homosexual sex is a sin. And now – just this past weekend – we learn that in Great Britain, if you’re convinced that you’re in danger of losing your culture/country to a massive tidal wave of Muslim immigrants, there’s a good chance they’ll just haul your butt off to jail.
 

Paul Weston, chairman of the LibertyGB party (you can watch his confessional “I am a racist” video HERE), and a candidate in the European elections next month, was arrested last Saturday for taking a stand against the Islamification of Great Britain ~

The leader of an anti-immigration pressure group has been arrested for quoting Winston Churchill. Paul Weston, chairman of LibertyGB, was taken into custody in Winchester, southern England, after delivering a speech in which he quoted an excerpt from the wartime Prime Minister’s book “The River War” […]
 
A woman came of the Guildhall and asked Weston if he had authorisation to make the speech. He replied that he did not, at which point she called him “disgusting” and called the police. At least six police officers arrived, questioned by-standers and arrested Weston and took him away.

 
Electioneering stunt or not, Mr. Weston has certainly managed to confirm his assertion; that Britain is descending into a politically correct madhouse, where common sense seems to have utterly lost its way. LibertyGB’s focus is on ~

… the long term threat of mass immigration, radical Islam and the seemingly deliberate destruction of the main institutions responsible for building and maintaining Britain as a successful nation state – namely education, the family, Christianity, morality and basic common sense.

These all sound like objectives Winston Churchill himself would approve of; Basic. Common. Sense.
 
As you can see from the selection that Mr. Weston was reading when he was arrested, Islam hasn’t changed much in the last century or so ~

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

~ Winston Churchill – 1899; “The River War”*

In 1939, the British finally heeded Churchill’s warnings about the Nazis and summoned enough intestinal fortitude to defend Western civilization against fascism. Alas, the former prime minister’s righteous rhetoric (and unvarnished truth!) about the Religion of Peace has now been deemed a crime against the Crown.

“The River War,” written in 1899, recounts Churchill’s experiences as a British Army Officer in the Anglo-Sudan War of 1881-1899. Churchill is still regarded in high esteem by most of the British public, with a 2002 BBC poll voting him the greatest Briton of all time.
