Just got back from a walkabout, feeling slightly sorry for President Donald Trump, who is having to spend a great deal of time in the undoubtedly disagreeable company of the Bitch of Berlin this weekend.

I wonder if she’ll lecture him on his legal ‘obligation’ to import crimmigrants, after her own irresponsible admission of around a million with no regard for German visa regulations. New Book Exposes Merkel As More Coward Than Traitor!
On another ‘enemy alien’ issue, given Americans’ constitutional right to free speech, one hopes she won’t seek to persuade him to follow her craven example on censorship.
Zoology Shocker- A Bitch Can Get Lower Than A Snake’s Belly!
And THAT leads me onto today’s ‘reasons to be cheerful’ headline….
…

stamp-collectors will know that ‘Helvetia’ is the agreed name of multilingual Switzerland
——–
…how the relatively small Swiss Confederation has been showing so much more true grit than the forsworn leader of their mighty German neighbour!

The Swiss justice office has refused four requests by Turkey for judicial cooperation over comments posted on social media platforms about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he deemed offensive.

Most of us are sick and tired of the intolerant whining of one ignorant Islamist after another about how ‘offended’ they get when civilised people write or draw or say things that aren’t permissible under their backward codes.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sure, they can belly-ache as much as they like, but when they set out to intimidate, they need to be slapped down HARD!

No doubt you were no more aware than I was that the sectarian regime in Ankara has been demanding that Switzerland pursue critics who had ‘insulted’ Erdogan.
-
Heck, that man deserves a lot more four little insults – I’m sure our modest blog has long since passed that total!
-
But whatever – the Head of Information at the Swiss Justice Office, Folco Galli, neatly put the Turks in their place, saying that Switzerland would only be obliged to cooperate if the act concerned was considered a crime in both Turkey and Switzerland!

Eminently fair comment, and better still that Signor Galli spelt out the difference between what happens in European democracies and wannabe caliphates.
“If similar criticisms had been expressed in Switzerland against a federal councillor in the course of a political debate, they would of course have been tolerated as an expression of free speech.”
Of course Erdogan is upset.
The viper can dish it out – as when he called the Dutch of being ‘Nazis’ last week.
But he cannot take it, which is why he’s used what passes for ‘law’ in Turkey against some 2,000 people for supposedly insulting Erdogan through words or cartoons…
And please note, it’s not just insults which the Ankara Ass seeks to suppress in other countries’ media.
……..
‘Don’t you DARE insult me!’
…..
When Blick published an opinion piece urging Turks to vote NO in Erdolf’s forthcoming referendum, Turkish authorities said the article was “offensive” towards Erdogan and called for Blick to “make amends for the lack of respect shown to our president.”
AMENDS?
……….
Here’s the proper response to such arrogance –

That is a very good documentary indeed, short but to the point.
RT understands public service better than the publicly subsidized BBC and DW and F24 that you have told us about many a time.
Donald Trump has not done much if anything to clean up American public broadcating, but I hope he will get round to it.
We need him to turn his attention to NPR and stop our tax-dollars funding their leftism.

Milo, you are on our side, I see that, but you should have checked your facts before criticizing the President.
He did his best but was sabotaged by RINO legislators.
Here’s the quote from The American Conservative, a trustworthy source.
‘.On the ranking of agencies and programs most reviled by conservatives, just behind the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Trump axed federal funding to both entities in his budget proposal, yet the Republican appropriators completely ignored this and funded them anyway.’
If any conservative doubts that NPR ( as part of the CPB) needs to be defunded, read the whole article, http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/they-couldnt-even-defund-npr/

I will be sending this on to some people who might revise their thinking once they have watched it.
If they see what has happened to Sweden, a Europen country that used to be peaceful and at ease with itself, who knows?
We might avoid the same horror story that’s unfolding here in our own country. First, though, we will need a change of P.M.
May must go.

We watched it while we had a living-room picnic and all present agree it needs to be spread as widely as possible.
Those Swedes are going to have a fight on their hands if they are serious about reclaiming their country. It’s not all those aliens that will defeat the patriots.,
It’s the liberals who control the media and most of the political parties and, as you have shown us, even the police, who have been playing the complicity game even before that Eliason was put in charge of them.
Civil war coming?
