Blair and Roche let in all the criminals without an ID check at customs, now we have all kinds of crime networks across the UK. Prime Minister Gordon Brown signed the LISBON TREATY. Let that sink in. Oh wait....you don't even know what that treaty - or any other EU treaty probably - entails. It was mostly Labour MPs and Labour councils like Rochdale that helped to cover up the grooming gangs from Telford to who knows how many towns today. Yeah, Labour are great aren't they? When will people realise that they abandonned the working class years ago, courting other groups in order to secure their vote. WAKE UP BRITAIN AND GET OUT OF THE EUSSR!

      It’s a five hour & twenty minutes masterpiece and should be shown in our schools and colleges worldwide
      The True Satanic Music industry is well documented at around about 42: minutes into the film footage

      CraigAndJas M ~ Yeah,
      Top Lyrics from the Amazing Truth Teller Devlin !
      Check out the amazing new documentary footage called =
      “Communism by the Back Door”
      New World Order
      Satanic Britain is covered at around about 1: 19 minutes
      And the Evil Agenda is covered at around about 2: 43 minutes into the film
      it’s a five hour & twenty minutes masterpiece and should be shown in our schools and colleges worldwide
      it’s well worth watching it in bite size pieces
      Devlin could take some amazing new Lyrics from this material.
      The Satanic Music industry is well documented at 42: minutes.
      Please share it with as many people as you can before it gets removed
      The Censorship Continues
      OUR WEAPON IS TRUTH !
      Respect to Devlin . . .

      +Dan South Corbyn's right, London is being socially cleansed. This government refuses to pass any sort of rent controls or build enough social housing and the rents and house prices are going up. The city is being bought up by buy-to-let landlords (1 in 4 MPs is one btw) and foreign oligarchs who pay virtually no tax on the houses they use as safe deposit boxes while homelessness steadily rises. It's going to end up a bit like Paris where all the plebs live on the outskirts and have to travel in to service these arseholes for a wage that barely pays for the train ticket.
