Going global on racism

Not having many followers I am pleased to announce that my cartoon on the racist duplicity of Home Secretary, Theresa May, appears to be going global. It has far outstripped any satirical cartoon I have produced to date even those related to the despicable treatment of Julian Assange. In its first day it took more than 200 hits, which by my standards is remarkable. It is too early yet to know where it is getting most support since those figures will not be available for a day or two.

Theresa May is the daughter of a Christian clergyman. You might therefore think she would have some Christian compassion. You might therefore think that she had heard of the parable of the Good Samaritan who helped a foreigner who had been set upon by thieves. Instead, anybody with a non-English sounding name, is temptation to her. She bangs them up in prison for interminably long periods of time, defying the basic tenet of habeas corpus, gets a retiring judge to forgive the police who beat up Babar Ahmad, extradites an Asperger sufferer, Talha Ahsan, to the United States where human rights are almost non-existent today, then to demonstrate just how racist she is, does not extradite a similar sufferer who has a UK-sounding name, Gary McKinnon. I am happy to see that Gary McKinnon was not extradited, but the same law should have been applied to the other Asperger sufferer, UK-born Talha Ahsan.

It is not just me who has noticed this two-faced racist approach to extradition. The Huffington Post and the Independent and probably other quality newspapers noticed these dual standards. And it is not just Theresa May that is racist. Racism is rife throughout the Tory Party. Dominic Grieve did not allow a debate into the Epetition supporting Babar Ahmad which had close to 150,000 signatures. These people bring disgrace on my good name as an Englishman.

What free press?


Yesterday I phoned the Independent news-desk and later sent them by email a copy of my last-but-one blog post regarding Julian Assange. I sent a copy to the independent Press Complaints Council. The email read:

"Further to our telephone conversation a few minutes ago I am embedding a
link to available information that shows there is another side to the
Julian Assange 'rape' case to that reported in the media. I should like
to see this addressed rather than listen to Joan Smith and Gavin Esler
shouting down Craig Murray on Newsnight for mentioning the name of Anna
Ardin.


A man's life is being toyed with in this dreadful vilification by all
and sundry without anyone giving helpful support. It is like ganging up
on Gandhi. The press should be ashamed.

John Goss"

There was no acknowledgment of receipt of this email either from the Indy or the PCC so I assume the press will continue as it has been doing in depriving the reading public of the real truth. It is therefore up to individual bloggers and good people to make sure this news is in the public domain.

Today I discovered the statement of Göran Rudling. It is amazing. It is probably the strongest proof of a police and political cover-up imaginable. Göran Rudling describes himself as a law reform activist. He is particularly interested in rape cases because his mother was raped by her step-father. As might be expected he is concerned that rapists are prosecuted. But he also believes in justice and realising there was something wrong in the prosecution case lodged his concerns.


He discovered Anna Ardin’s tweet deletions showing how much she was enjoying being in Assange's company the day after the alleged rape, and also her 7 step revenge blog on men who dump their women, which Ardin also tried to delete. From his statement it appears that he persistently sent information to the Swedish police that they have been unable to locate. He is a very credible and reliable witness which shows this case to have been flawed from the start, with clear political objectives. The UK media is disgusting in not presenting this to the public who are still being misled into believing that Julian Assange has a case of rape to answer. What has happened to my country?


Göran Rudling's statement is in the form of a .pdf file at the foot of this link.
