It takes a nation to protect the nation
Favourite Comedy Sketches
Following Alan's instructions on how to get a narrow youtube embed code suitable for 4F (click the 'share' button, then the 'embed' button that comes in the popup, and deselect every option), I thought I'd try to exercise that knowledge. And we can kick off the threaded viewing too.
I love how this sketch sets up your expectations, then keeps changing. It starts off all "chas & dave" and ends up doing Oliver! I think that this song & dance number is better than the big number in Oliver! and in Meaning of Life, it's just throwaway. In fact, it's followed by a sombre and very funny sketch about protestants and their ability to use contraceptives.
The Pythons were phenomenally talented together, and much less so apart (with some interesting highlights in their later solo careers).

This is one of my favourite sketches by Catherine Tate. It really says very little. And maybe the humour only really applies to people with friends in the north of England. I've got a sister-in-law who is like these two - in fact, her whole family are like them. When I visit them I find them hilarious, and they can't understand why their (very serious) outrage reduces me to fits of laughter.

What annoys me is the popularity of the Am I Bovvered character. I can't stand her.

I can imagine though that it would be really irritating to have kids start to pick up the terrible behaviour in Catherine Tate's characters (or the Little Britain characters). It would drive me spare.

Monty python were mental. John Cleese is the most straight lace bloke you'll ever meet as well.

This Python sketch is all too real. Whether it's the far-left or nationalist groups in Britain. They seem to hate their near-rivals more than those who are really opposed to them.

Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Page Monitor
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Muslim Terrorism Count
Mission Overview
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
The 4 Freedoms
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
- Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
