I don't know for certain that Imperial British Glory and New British Glory are the same.
You Mods are aware of NBG's thread about autism & dyslexia. NBG was unofficially warned about it:
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=406852
Now, this has been posted which is open trolling by IBG:

(I hope my response was not flaming.)
I think this thread may need to be closed.
I appreciate whatever attention you are able to give this matter.

You really have to stretch for post number 63 to be considered "open flamebait."
He says that you are politically correct whiners, that New Labour are the same, and that is cousin is autistic. Granted it's a mild flame to call someone a politically correct whiner, but if the word "whiner" offends you, I'd say you have more problems than flamers on the internet.

You might consider it in context, which I admit didn't provide.
Check out the first post in the thread. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8503048&postcount=1
Then come back to his dismissal of those who disagree that autism and dyslexia are caused by poor parenting.
His original post was unofficially warned as trolling, now he has exacerbated it. If he didn't wish to hear anyone disagree with him, his entire thread was intended as troll.

Heh...well I'm going to stop posting here. I think he makes a damn good point in regards to the culture which we live in, originally a troll or not.
The society of the Anglo Western world (i.e. Great Britain and America) is taking part currently in what could be dubbed as a 'blame culture'. When a person has an accident rather than accept it was down to their clumsiness, they instead sue the body responsible for that bit of street they were walking down. This is a widespread problem - horse riding schools are being forced out of business because their pupils are suing them if they fall off the horse. Psychiatirsts also aid in these culture of 'Not me, sir, not me' - they tell people that their faults are not due to their own defects or their own weaknesses but down to the actions of their parents, loved ones, education etc etc. If a student doesn't get into a university of his choice or doesn't get good grades, he balmes the teachers, the system or even that the universities are class biased rather than find fault with his own lack of work and his own level of intelligence. So what has this to do with autism and dyslexia?
My point is that the increase is not due to an increase the disease itself, an increase in population or even an increase in awareness. It could be that when parents see their children with behavioural faults and difficulties in learning, they look straight for any thing to blame other than themselves. But yet behaviour faults are most likely caused by failures to provide adequate parenting skills.
Makes a damn good bit of sense...

Had his point been about blame culture, it wouldn't have been trolling. I addressed that already here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8504183&postcount=21).Blame culture != Bad parenting skillsThere's no connection between the two points, or at least he didn't establish them. As far as I'm concerned, his edit did nothing whatsoever to alter that.
BTW, I'm not ruling on anything, just commenting.
