Coming soon to a nation near you....

How crazy is Britain? Fjordman suggests that Britain is going to be the first of many scenes of civil war over the Islamization of Europe. Here is one example of why he can come to that conclusion:

Woman arrested over 'golly' doll

A MUM claims she was arrested and had her DNA and fingerprints taken by police because she had a `golly' doll in the window of her home.

Amanda Schofield, 38, was quizzed by police on suspicion of racially-aggravated public order.

She claims the doll was put in the window by her young daughter, who found it in a bag of toys.

But police say she was arrested after a series of complaints of alleged racially-aggravated behaviour were made against her.

She was released without charge after being questioned.

Amanda, from Borrowdale Road, Heavily, Stockport, said she has been forced to sell the toy because of the incident.

Amanda said: "I feel like a criminal for something my daughter did. I just can't believe that I got arrested for a petty thing like that."

She added: "I know that some people don't like the toys, which is why I took it off the window sill, but I don't think they are offensive. It's just a toy. My daughter is really upset that I had to sell it."

Amanda claims she removed the toy from the window after noticing it while putting her daughter to bed, only to be visited by police later that evening and notified of the complaint from a neighbour. She says she received a phone call nine days later asking her to attend Cheadle Heath Police Station, where she was arrested. She has since been informed that no further action will be taken by police.

Gollies are highly collectable. Badges used by jam company James Robertson and Sons, which featured a character called Golly, can sell for more than £1,000.However, the figure has increasingly been seen as a racially offensive symbol and Robertson's dropped Golly in 2001.Last year, a shop owner in Wrightington, near Wigan, faced prosecution and a £1,000 fine after a customer complained about the golly dolls and keyrings on sale. Police confiscated a doll and a keyring, but the complaint was not taken any further and the items were put back on sale.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Police received a report that an item deemed to be offensive was placed in the window of a house on Borrowdale Road.

"It is believed that the incident was the latest in a number of previous incidents that the victim perceived to be race-related. A 38-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated public order offence.

"The woman was released without charge."

h.t. Fjordman.

There is still a great deal of time till anything like civil war becomes inevitable in Europe; but when we see that in Cologne nationalist speakers were prevented from addressing the public in the town square, 5,000 anti-free-speech demonstrators called out by the mayor of the city threatening violence against them, and the police refusing to maintain order on the behalf of the speakers, then one must wonder if that day is coming sooner than we might expect.

And what of Canada? While Heather Mallick is given space to rant against Sarah Palin at the CBC, paid for by the taxpayer, however unwillingly, we see the Canadian Human Rights Commission hoping to ban library books, and the American Left going berserk even at places such as [redacted] Time Magazine, accusing Palin of breaking the law by using yahoo email for state business, never mind that her email is hacked by a Tennessee Democratic senator's son. It's a mad world, and people are rightly getting mad about it. There's very little civility in a civil war. Time to put a stop to the rumblings before we get that unwelcome visit.

Support the European Declaration of Independence: any polity or ideology that has no reasonable basis to provide lasting order among gangs of men has

no right to exist.

The people who run Europe think the angels of history are on their side. They, after all, are in the vanguard of the movement to end the old Europe of nation states, an old order that ostensibly killed its legitimacy to exist along with many of its people in the wars of 1914-45.

But for how long can we accept their account of history if the proposed cure seems worse than the disease? As Fjordman reports, the oligarchs of the EU are actively dismissing the electorates and national parliaments of Europe; they are promoting a suicidal assimilation of the West with the Arab world; they are creating a highly taxed, highly regulated society that destroys what is left of the ability for local self-rule and for the trust relationships that are essential to any productive society; they are turning a blind eye to the Jihadist criminality that terrorizes the streets of European cities.

The results? Well, one of the latest is that Native Dutch are rioting in the streets of Utrecht. Don't miss Fjordman's reporting and proposal of a European Declaration of Independence at the end of the linked article:

If these demands are not fully implemented, if the European Union isn't dismantled, Multiculturalism isn't rejected and Muslim immigration isn't stopped, we, the peoples of Europe, are left with no other choice than to conclude that our authorities have abandoned us, and that the taxes they collect are therefore unjust and that the laws that are passed without our consent are illegitimate. We will stop paying taxes and take the appropriate measures to protect our own security and ensure our national survival.

As I see it, we have no reason to believe that the nation-state, and a true inter-national order - one where differences among nation-states are negotiated in respect for self-ruling nations, and not in an attempt to transcend national sovereignty through the authority of some elite post-national, post-democratic class of bureaucratic regulators - have been surpassed (anywhere other than in elitist political fantasies) by any higher principle of order, or that any higher order is ever possible. Whatever the problems that a global system of nation-states will encounter, whatever the historical failures in the former half-realized inter-national systems of nation-states, we must reject the present EU as one of the most significant threats to global order in our time. Can you imagine a Eurabia, with its continuing demographic and spiritual crisis, its continuing economic decline, and with nuclear weapons, falling further under the influence of Arab-Jihadist powers?

I call on all Canadians to support a European Declaration of Independence. In any interaction you have with European people, let them know you cannot tolerate support for the myth that the EU or its ruling ideologies are in any way productive of peace, order, and good government, let alone economic competitiveness. Shun them as much you can in business and social life; and when they call you a racist, let them know you are inured to the taunts of those who would destroy borders and self-ruling systems of order in the name of some tyrannical fantasy of multiculti one-worldism. Then wish them God speed when the mob, whatever kind, comes baying at their doors. And let them know you will be pressuring our government to allow refugee or immigration status only to those who fought for national order in Europe and not for gnostic fantasy ideologies. But don't lose your humanity over it and wish them all their best on their early retirement in Casablanca or Tunis, Venezuela or Cuba.
