Liberty GB

{{UKpolitics}}{{race}}
'''Liberty GB''' was a quite clearly slightly bonkers [[authoritarian]] [[Right wing|far-right]] party from the [[UK]], who it seems were attempting to out-[[United Kingdom Independence Party|UKIP]] the actual UKIP. They were deregistered from the Electoral Commission in November 2017.<ref>[https://libertygb.org.uk/news/closure-liberty-gb "The Closure of Liberty GB"]. 27 November 2017. Liberty GB official website.</ref>

==A brief run down==
Their "Mission Statement" contained all the [[Canard|canards]] from the classics '[[Not racist, but...|we're not racist but...]]' to '[[Not as bad as|Not as bad as...]]' with such choice examples as "the hijacking of [[Christian Agenda|traditional]] British culture by [[Red baiting|well-organised left-wing 'progressives']] and "[[British Empire|Britain]] could be a [[Racist|wonderful]] country again, but it will take politics bordering on the [[Libertarianism|revolutionary]] to achieve this vision"<ref>[https://libertygb.org.uk/about-us/mission-statement Liberty GB Mission statement]. Accessed 5 November 2018.</ref>

A quick glance at their 'Popular Articles' showed such choice titles as:

* "[[David Cameron]] Declares War on the [[EDL]]" (Surely a good, if slightly macho thing to do what with all that bother in [[Greece]] with [[Golden Dawn]])
* "[[EDL|Tommy Robinson]] leaves EDL to work with a [[Islam|Muslim]] Organisation" (this would have been better if he'd just left, as in 'left the planet')
* "The [[Human Rights Act|Failure]] of Western [[Feminism]]"
* "[[Communist]] UAF Orders [[BBC]] to [[Wing-nut|Kurb Free-Speech]]"
* "How Muslims Did [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgvwfvTcNl0 Not] Invent [[Mathematics|Algebra]]"

The organisation to which the Robinson line refers is Quilliam, which is attacked in another of their articles as a front. This is [[Irony|ironic]] as they seemed to be a highly [[Astroturfing|astroturfed]] [[Think tank|think-tank]] that dealt in flip-floppery, previously at the expense of [[Taxes|tax payers]].<ref>{{wpa|Quilliam (think tank)}}</ref> Quite how much sense they'd be able to get out of an ex head of the [[Fascist|EDL]] and former [[Islamic extremist|Islamic Extremists]], is [[God|anybodys]] guess. 

==The slightly more worrying and crazy bits ([[Monty Python|of the cabinet]])==
Judging by their 'Statement of Ideology',<ref>[https://libertygb.org.uk/statement-of-ideology Statement of Ideology]</ref> they wished to return to an [[Theocracy|absolute morality]] of a Christian persuasion; they had a basic [[Xenophobia|anti-immigration]] stance; and they seemed to want computers and [[Crusades|Christ, but no Muslims nor human welfare]]. They were a prime example of [[Third positionism|absurd positionism]].

===The Ten Point 'Plan' to Save Britain===
# Introduce a US Style [[First Amendment]] to Protect [[Free Speech]]
# Leave the undemocratic [[European Union ]]
# Abolish the [[Human Rights Act 1998|Human Rights Act]], which benefits mainly foreign criminals/terrorists
# Halt any immigration for a period of five years
# Deport all foreign criminals and illegal immigrants 
# Abolish all multicultural and equality {{wpl|quangoes}} 
# Halt and turn back all aspects of the Islamisation of Britain 
# Drastically reduce crime, criminals should fear the consequences of their behavior
# Repair the damage wreaked by the progressive educational establishment
# Promote British values and integration, rather than multiculturalism and division<ref>[https://libertygb.org.uk/about-us/ten-point-plan "Ten Point Plan"]. Liberty GB official website. Accessed 5 November 2018.</ref>  

====The Ten Point 'Plan' to Save Britain as looked at by a Brit with half a brain====
# We have this to some degree, but not through a [[Magna Carta|single formal written constitution]].
# Ah, [[Euroscepticism]]. Elected MEPs are apparently not democratic. 
# Just No, [[Not Even Wrong]], Absurd and Insane.
# Classic UKIP. That would also stop all the handy graduates, tourists, workers and such who contribute to the economy.
# Foreign 'criminals' are not all prosecuted for murder or other serious crimes. Immigrants are often illegal because they are desperate to escape a ghastly situation and no legal route is available. Blanket deportation is basically a huge betrayal of human rights.
# Whilst multiculturalism has some flaws and quangoes should be outlawed by default there are better non '[[Hate-filled propaganda|Cultural]]' reasons.
# Really, plain '[[Hate-filled propaganda|Islamist]]' Muslims are a minority, here the politicians have done more damage by [[Privatisation|Privatising]] things, even with terrorist acts such as [[Londonistan|7/7 bombings]].  
# Crime is at its lowest levels since records began. A more honest point would have been "[[Capital punishment|bring back hanging]], because we like to kill people we don't like."
# Education here is a mess (look at the OECD reports), but the causes I differ on; [[Tony Blair|Blair]] and [[Michael Gove|Gove]].
# Promoting a skewed vision of the undefined at the [[Absurdum|illiterate]] using the [[Populism|apathetic]], clearly sensible.

What a lovely rational bunch of people. They also stood for women's rights, which should be very easy to ensure once they'd completed Item 3 of their plan to "take over the world" &ndash; or rather, mad dream to turn the UK back into a more [[Dictatorship|theocratic state]], with the help of [[Evangelical Christianity|Jesus and Friends]].

One just has to wonder who was behind them, frankly, although seeing as [[British Freedom Party|George Whale]] was involved, one could take an educated guess.
