Will the Chicago Way become the British Way?

It's all over the internet - Brits are angry and getting angrier. "Vitriolic" and "volcanic" are words used to describe how people are feeling. And that's just the V-words. I've read phrases like "teetering on the brink of open ethnic warfare". The BNP can't keep up with applications for membership. One Labour MP called the growth of the BNP "a cry for help."

I think all right-minded Brits should sit down over a pint of Bass and watch the 1987 gangster film The Untouchables. On the surface this has nothing to do with Islamic terror or ethnic tensions or Britain whatsoever. But listen carefully, my friends.

In this classic film Sean Connery plays Jimmy Malone, a tough, honest Chicago cop - the voice of brutal realism. (When reading his lines it's important to hear his voice. It sounds much tougher.) Elliot Ness wants to bring down Al Capone but he is limited by his own naive idealism. Ness can't destroy Capone's organization legally because Capone has corrupted the legal and political systems through bribery and intimidation. Malone, the street-smart veteran, explains how to get Capone in the real world.

MALONE: You said you wanted to know how to get Capone. Do you really want to get him? You see what I'm saying? What are you prepared to do?

NESS: Everything within the law.

MALONE: And then what are you prepared to do? lf you open the ball on these people, you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they won't give up the fight until one of you is dead.

NESS: I want to get Capone. I don't know how.

MALONE: Here's how you get Capone: he pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone. Now, do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

It's not just a mob film. It's about how good men do what's right when the authorities cannot or will not protect people from a violent gang bent on seizing control of city. Sound familiar?

And Malone died a martyr for that cause, fighting till the very end.

If one were to act in the "Chicago way" you can bet they would end up just like the border guards, American attorneys prosecuting Americans. Seems like we just keep picking up speed on that slippery slope of multiculturalism, PC, and dhimmitude and no one can find the brakes.

"The sequence of events has become wearily familiar: first the arrests and claims of a chilling terror plot, then the furious denials by community "leaders". It happened last week in Birmingham, where nine men were detained in connection with an alleged plot to kidnap and execute a British Muslim soldier.

The chairman of the Birmingham Central Mosque, Dr Mohammed Naseem, inflamed feelings by comparing Britain to Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia - just the kind of paranoid nonsense you'd expect from a man who was a Respect candidate. It plays straight into the hands of the BNP and is a triumph for political Islam, which seeks to divide the country between aggrieved Muslims and the rest of us. "

BNP is a party that should DISAPPEAR. If they become the banner carriers for opposition to political Islam, the movement is DOOMED.

The BNP at the forefront to resistance to Islamists such as those like Mr Saleem and Finsbury park is a GIFT to islamists who want sharia and the quran to become British law.

Both Tyndall and Nick Griffin have/had major problems. For good reason

Before 7/7 I would never in my wildest dreams have considered voting for the BNP. But since then I've learned enough about Islam to make it seem much the lesser of the two evils.

There really is no alternative. None of the other parties will even recognise there is a problem. In fact they chase the Muslim vote.

As a result the BNP is booming with so many membership applications that they are struggling to cope:

Anyone notice that our beloved government has now introduced Arabic and Urdu onto the national curriculum for 11-14 year olds.
This is real Dhimmitude and it's thanks to Blair's government.

Cameron (i.e the opposition) is such a wet schoolboy moderate. Of course if you live in Scotland you can always vote Muslim loving SNP. Break up the Union and holdhands with the real racists.
