Students (?) close store for a hour over tax breaks to business … idiots on the left on the march.

First ... Hello to Franklin,TN if still there.

OK ... things that make a rant.  Like the enclosed.

I had never heard of the Woodcraft Folks before today. In fact, I can’t even find the article I’m looking at now, on line. And I have tried a 100 ways to bring it up. But of course, it’s the Telegraph and I should be used to it by now. Unfortunately, I’m not.

Therefore, rather try and copy the article, I’ll just give you the idea.

You already know about the student protests that started over an increase in college tuition.  Naturally, protests also mean destroying property. It also means that anyone opposing the rabble are right wing Nazi Fascist war mongers or words to that affect.

Now another protest group is hot and bothered because some businesses are avoiding taxes. In the latest case, it’s TopShop where the peace loving young managed to shut the store down. Of course it never occurs to the peace and freedom loving students that they are be depriving people who want to shop, the freedom to do so. No surprise as the only freedom that counts with the left is their freedom to disrupt others from going about their own legal business.

Now then, nobody here at BMEWS I’m reasonably sure will give a thumbs up to tax cheats or those who act in a criminal way to dodge what they owe. However, the thing these schmucks on the left don’t seem to understand is, it’s the government that gives the go ahead on tax forms to avoid some taxes. And what business will volunteer to turn down any tax break they can get?  But no matter, carrying signs proclaiming their allegiance to Socialism, these twits are out on the streets in this cause as well.
Which brings me to a group called Woodcraft Folks. Who are, a left wing version of the Scouts.  Fancy that.

Now then, these socially aware left wing lunatics are encouraging kids as young as 11 to take part in these demonstrations.  Some schools have been found to even give kids time off for this exercise.  WF leader took a group of 13 to 15 year olds to last week’s London protest.
Oh btw … Woodcraft Folks is also govt. funded. How about that?

Here’s what one commenter had to say which shows not all Brits have lost it.

Before targeting businesses we should be focusing our attentions on the far more wasteful and wealth destructive government.
No-one has to shop at TopShop but we all have to hand over our money to the government. That government can give away £13 billion in foreign aid, givea way our EU rebate worth over £1 billion a year, create unnecessary regulations and bureaucracy costing tens of billions a year.
I don’t blame Phillip Green for looking after HIS wealth. He is only accountable to his customers who can go elsewhere. Our governments are rarely accountable.
We need to stop paying hundreds of billions in benefits (including extending the housing benefit racket for another 8 months) before demanding more of other peoples money. 

Topshop forced to close in tax avoidance protest

Britain’s largest fashion store was forced to close as activists unruly left wing dupes carried out a series of protests against tax avoidance by big businesses.

By Michael Howie

Topshop’s flagship branch on London’s Oxford Street turned away customers on one of the busiest shopping days of the year as around 200 protesters took over the store.

Security staff removed a number of campaigners who chanted slogans directed at billionaire Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, whose business five years ago paid a £1.2 billion dividend to his wife, Tina, who resides in Monaco.

Sir Philip was this year appointed as an adviser to the Government on efficiency in the public sector.
The protest was organised by UK Uncut, which used social networking sites Twitter and Facebook to carry out a national day of action against stores owned by Sir Philip’s Arcadia Group, which also owns Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Evans and Miss Selfridge.

The protest group, as revealed in The Sunday Telegraph last month, was set up by Thom Costello, an Oxford graduate from south London who now works as a television researcher.

About 200 protesters inside the store began chanting slogans after whistles were blown at 11am, signalling the beginning of a long protest that forced the store to close for more than an hour.

Security staff and police officers bundled protesters and journalists, including Polly Toynbee, as a largely peaceful demonstration briefly threatened to turn violent.

One 62-year-old campaigner told how he was “pinned to the ground” by security staff after complaining that a young woman had been mistreated inside the store.

The campaigner, who only gave his name as John, said: “A young woman was grabbed around the neck so I complained. Several security guards jumped on me and I was pushed to the ground. I could hardly breath – it was terrifying.”

A note ... Polly Toynbee is an extreme far left Marxist/Leninist/Trotsky loving wacko who thinks everyone who doesn’t agree with her view from the left must be Himmler himself. She is very quick to invoke the Nazi tag in every argument.

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.
