He was here! Kilroy Silk used to be the Labour MP up in these parts. He actually
represented the people of Knowsley for 12 years from 1974. He walked the streets of Kirkby
at one time, followed by the party members here, the councillors and the kids who thought
that even a free sticker saying 'vote labour'; was a 'prize' worth having. In the streets
of Northwood, Kirkby, in Knowsley - I have witnessed for myself this suntanned slick MP
winding his way down the streets, his smile perhaps convincing some women here that he
was worth a vote, and maybe more. It is ironic that some women gave their lives so that
women 100 years onwards could have the vote and end up wasting it on 'that good looking
suntanned bloke'. Kilroy had the looks, he wore better suits than the well dressed gangsters,
he had the style, the confidence exuded from him, yet you still sensed all was not right.
I mean, apart from the superficial image factor, the man was basically just looking for
a stage. Kilroys actual political beliefs were, at best, veering towards the far right
even back in the 70's. He found a stage in Knowsley for a good 12 years, but tired of
the small time fame factor. He was soon to become the Housewives choice on Breakfast
TV.
From Silk to Howarth
In January 2004, after making comments in a newspaper describing Arabs
as
"limb amputators", he then quit his daily breakfast chat show which had
run since leaving Knowsley. When Silkworm left us in the 80's, it opened up the way
for the amazing transformation of one George Howarth, only a scruffy councillor back
then, but he would soon undergo a big change as he emerged from the cocoon after an
image makeover. George was never going to get the hearts a fluttering like Kilroy,
but the Labour Party back then could have dressed a monkey up in a red jacket to win
the seat of Knowsley. You could have dragged some old drunken dosser from the town
centre park and got them elected. People here would have voted Labour no matter what,
always have done, always would do, or so some thought. Nowadays, even Knowsley, the
pet council of new labour, is looking at a bleak future as it loses votes to Lib Dems,
Greens and even the BNP. How ironic that a man who calls Arabs
'limb amputators' and
slurs the entire Arab Culture and its people, is voted in with record figures, and
given a place in the European Parliament smashing Labours hold in the place which
they so love.
Kilroy - Pulling No Punches?
Back in 1985, David Rees was a guest at a Bournemouth boarding house. He
was supposedly talking in a room adjacent to Mr Orange and the Mighty Kilroy took
hindrance as he was trying to watch the news in a TV room, perhaps he was actually
watching himself on the news at the time. According to reports, Kilroy got involved
and somehow knocked Rees through a window after an 'altercation'. Later that same
year, Kilroy had a bit of a scrap with fellow politician Jeremy Corbyn. At the time,
Kilroy claimed that
"I didn't really hit him" He also added that
"If I had, he'd
have stayed down". Fighting talk indeed! Maybe Kilroy had a punch up or
two here in Knowsley seems as he was a bit fighting mad back in the mid 80's
when he left here. Anyone recall any? And, in 1991, John Edwards, a guest on
the Kilroy show, got the Kilroy treatment after touching Kilroys head with some
documents. More recently, a writer called AA Gill has claimed that Kilroy-Silk
'kicked him'. Kilroy, ever the diplomat, claimed that
"Gill is a pansy," The
orange tanned Euro MP also added that
"He is effete. He is an effeminate irrelevance"
Takes one to know one eh Kilroy?
Kilroys Victory 2004
During a press conference in central London, the smiling mug of our ex
MP positively shone with enthusiasm. Kilroy was back, back with his smarmy 'TV smile'
and his designer suit. Kilroy Silkworm was asked what he was going to do in the European
Parliament when he sits there. This is what he told us.....
'Wreck it'
Oh really? - Kilroy the revolutionary is it now? The odds of his smarm factor
being able to lay to waste the EU parliament is a bit of a far fetched proposal. Pushed further,
the walking advert for Tango Orange informed us that he would…….
"Expose it for the waste, the corruption and the way it's eroding our independence
and our sovereignty"
We bet once he gets his nose in the good old trough he may well find that
he gets a taste again for it. After all, before he was elected as Euro MP, he was
not really earning much was he? Only a few months ago he was cast away in the wilderness.
Kilroy has surely got expensive tastes, with a tan like that your either going abroad 6
times a year or under the sun-bed so much that your paying a mortgage for the entrance fees.
Kilroys England
Kilroy and his band of rich glory hunting bankrolled Tories want some sort of England
where we worship the Royals, and us working class 'know our place' and can at least watch the
pounds and pennies being robbed instead of euros and cents. To the average reader
here who ends with few
pounds in the bank for there hard honest efforts, it matters little whether
the gawping face of the Queen looks back at us or President Chirac of France.
The UKIP are so twisted that they would get more worked up over the pressing
issue of the queens mug being printed or moulded onto currency than they
would over the plight of our OAP's being killed in cheap nursing homes and
hellhole sink estates. Among all the issues which we face in these troubled
times, saving the pound comes a long way down the list for most of us.
UKIP = Old Bigoted Tories - In the Flesh
Imagine that Kilroy had made insulting remarks about African culture,
or Asian, or Jewish culture? Would he then, have emerged only months later to become
a Euro MP? It is obvious that the people funding the UKIP are rich Tories. They'll
always back a bigot and would back Adolf Hitler himself if he crawled over to them
proving he could win them enough votes. Churchill himself made no secret that he'd
prefer Fascism rather than Communism, rich people generally find the idea of sharing
wealth equally to be an appalling idea. I myself had the displeasure to meet some of
these UKIP lunatics on some political march back in the 90's, they offered me a
'save
the pound' badge, it was a metal one, and they also offered stickers saying
'UKIP Save our Pound' as well as fancy glossy leaflets. The men were
dressed in suits and accompanied with a couple of 'horsey' looking women had Barbour
jackets on. All were aged over 50 and when they spoke, all had the upper class
twang which immediately alerted a few of us to the fact that these muppets were
bigoted Tories who even the Tory Party didn't want. I never thought they'd
emerge a few years later to batter new labour in the Euro elections. But whenever
rich Tories and there mates want to change things, they can spend millions on
promoting the cause and use there mates in the media to keep publicising them.
Kilroys Barmy Army
The election of Kilroy is a worrying development. Labour will be shocked to the
core and will be looking now at possibly trailing behind the UKIP in 5 years time in
the EU, or even next year in the General Elections in selected seats. UKIP would not
have a chance in Kirkby, but you suspect the Huyton snobs and many councillors would
find solace in the polite middle England bigotry and small minded
'lets save the
pound and restore the empire' bull**** which is often found swirling round the minds
of older people who have drifted off into some sort of senile bigotry period of their
lives. We all know the 'Grey Bigots' - not everyone finds wisdom in there older years,
look at Knowsley Council for Gods sake! The UKIP vote will have likely been 70% grey
haired Tory OAP and middle aged women, who see in Kilroy, a little thrill in what
would be an otherwise dull and pointless existence. In short, the UKIP offers a
chance for people like Kilroy to find the lowest common denominator audience and
whip it up, just like he done on his TV show! Kilroys 'Barmy Army' on the march
would likely collapse of exhaustion after a mile or two, but they have money and
they are bigoted Tories. That makes them dangerous.
Safety valve
It is possible the UKIP are simply a 'safety valve' political movement, promoted
by the media and establishment as a safer alternative to the BNP. In the EU election
the BNP got 808,200 votes and no EU MP's, the UKIP got 2,650,768 votes and 12 EU MP's.
The UKIP has received little negative press, despite the Silkworm having recently been
disgraced for his racist remarks. Yet the same media who stand poised to bring down
racism, more or less promoted Kilroy and his party. I've never heard a small party
get so much free publicity. The UKIP basically smarmed, charmed and creeped there
way into the medias hearts, and used there contacts and freinds in the media
to get a worrying massive level of free support. Silk is the only name that
matters, the only one we all know, the only man in the UKIP who has a public
profile. That the media simply promoted him, is an indication that the very
establishment which ticks us all off for the slightest hint that we may be
racist, is in fact willing to be racist itself, especially, almost exclusively,
when it comes to Arabs.
Iraq cost New Labour the war - and guilt free racism
The Arabs have got the oil. We need it. We've already murdered countless women
and kids in the Middle East and Iraq to get our hands on the 'black gold'. No wonder
Kilroy has been given a platform, because it looks almost certain that the
USA/UK 'coalition of the willing' will be doing a job of work for the Oil companies
in Saudi at some point in the future. Incidentally, how Labour can blame the EU
election results on the Iraq war is mystifying. No-one knows what the hell the UKIP
stance is on Iraq, but given Kilroys overall enthusiasm for the Middle East, maybe
they want to nuke it. Luckily for the angry hordes of blue rinse Tories, Kilroy
offers a little bit of racism without being associated with anything untoward.
It's the self imagined 'genteel' racism and good old class predujice of Middle
England manifesting itself.
Frankenstein Monster
Remember that the West has shored up a corrupt Saudi Royal family, and
created the conditions for extremism to take root. Saddam was a Frankenstein monster,
created by the West, as are many other Arab leaders, especially the Saudi Royals who
have disgusted decent English and Arabs alike, by there obscene wealth and refusal to
help there own people. Sounds just like our leaders in England, to a point. But Arabs
see there children shot and killed almost every day. Some have looked at the natural
wealth they have in there midst and compared that to the utter poverty and despair
of many who live there. The Arab people know the West, especially America, has robbed
them by allowing the Saudi Royals to rule with a rod of iron. Kilroy, of course, cannot
make the distinction between the ordinary Arabs who just want a fair chance to raise
families and live in peace, and there bloodthirsty rulers and religious extremists
who do indeed amputate limbs. As for 'limb amputators' closer to home, we need only
look at the photo of the poor girl killed in Basra by US/UK bombs. She lost a leg,
but sadly she also died. This is new labours so called civilised anti racist stance
in action and it looks like fascism to me. Shame on Kirkbys labour party and the
pretentious left wing, which once opposed war and was not afraid to speak out.
But then again, what can we expect from people who 20 odd years ago could say
the word 'socialist' and 'Kilroy Silk' without dying of amusement?
Kilroy too is a kind of Frankenstein Monster, in his case it's his ego that's
run rampant, he feeds off the public adulation or attention, the only way to calm
his ego is to give him a stage, but at that point he gets worse, and grows more
cocky and arrogant. Kirkby Times would like to remind this smooth operator that
the Kirkby Times editor was the snotty nosed teenage upstart who once asked him
on his election trail in Kirkby….
Q: Why are politicians like Father Christmas
A: Cos we only see them once a year then they fu** off again!
Space Invader
His answer, was a calm reassurance of ….
"ah, no, that's not really fair" He
smiled the old Kilroy Smile and I think he may have tried to have gripped my shoulder
had I not kept a distance, wary of the reputation he had even then for touching people
and invading there space. Kilroy was notorious for eagerly 'pressing the flesh' and
getting physical with constituents. A regular space invader as it were.
I think I told him where to go.
Funnily enough, I'd likely say the same thing today.
Tangoed.
Does anyone else here in Kirkby and Knowsley notice how people with
weird orange tans seem to be in the habit of gravitating to Knowsleys political
circles and higher echelons? Jim Keight is orange, so is Ronnie Round. Even George
Howarth's publicity photos seem to point to old pale face himself growing more orange.
You can chart Howaths rise along with the encroaching orangey tinge to his face! Other
councillors also seem to have that old sun-bed special glow. Maybe Kilroys influence
lives on here in the republic of Knowsley? Maybe he owns all the sun bed shops!
