applause from some of the left as immigrants on benefits send money out of the country.

I much doubt that the dumbest conservative could come up with this bizarre statement by the deputy head of the Labour Party.  There are folks here with the consv. label who are off the rails, but it really take a far left,left,left barking mad socialist ignoramus of the politically correct liberal establishment to sing the praises of this activity.  And not only that, but suggest more of it is a good idea. And not only that, but to insist that Britain NOT cut it’s overseas aid.
It’s always so easy when you’re giving away other peoples money. Innit?

THIS IS A WOMAN SO STUPID, SHE ONCE GOT STUCK IN A REVOLVING DOOR BECAUSE SHE SAID, THE DOOR KNOB WAS MISSING.

Here, take a look at what this Moonbat thinks is jolly good.

Harriet Harman praises ‘hero’ immigrants who send welfare handouts home

The deputy Labour leader was speaking to voters with foreign backgrounds in her Southwark constituency

Harriet Harman has praised ‘heroic’ immigrants who claim welfare payments in Britain and use the cash to support families living abroad.

She said the Government should make it easier for them to send the money home and called for tax refunds to encourage more immigrants to follow suit, in particular those who paid for their children to be educated in the Third World.

The Labour Deputy Leader, who is also the party’s spokesman on International Development, derided ‘those who say we should look after our own first’ in the recession and vowed to fight any attempt to cut the £9.4 billion overseas aid budget.
Last night the Government challenged her ‘bizarre’ conduct.

Her comments were made at a meeting at Southwark town hall in her South London constituency, called to find ways to increase the flow of money from Britain to other nations in ‘remittances’ – money sent by families who have settled here to those left behind.

The meeting was attended by many local voters with Nigerian, Ugandan and other foreign backgrounds, as well as representatives of aid charities.
An eyewitness said: ‘Harriet led a discussion on how to back up what she called the “hidden heroes of development through developing new policies on remittances”.’

Ms Harman said she had conducted a survey of her constituents, mainly West Africans, who were regularly sending money back home to sustain children and other relatives.

‘She said she had been amazed by how many were doing this,’ said a source. ‘Some were themselves in receipt of State benefits here and were still sending what they could abroad.’

Ms Harman said she intended to launch a new international survey to learn how other countries handled remittances to poorer nations to enable Britain to ‘make the procedure easier, even possibly with some sort of tax relief for those who send payments to educate relatives abroad’.

International Development Minister Alan Duncan called on Ms Harman to explain her ‘bizarre’ comments
Her radical proposal was supported by some at the meeting.

But one member of the audience said Ms Harman would have to be ‘careful’ how she campaigned on the issue. ‘She was told that if it was found the majority of people sending remittances were on benefits, critics would say it proved that they are receiving too much in State handouts if they can still send money abroad,’ according to one person who was present.

Well I’ll give her one thing. She kept her word on that. Not only that, she expanded it to include ALL minorities. We have the same kind of champaign liberal back home.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
