Reminded me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_(1950_film).

Interesting. My own “political compass” was assessed as being very similar; on the same graphic, slightly lower and slightly to the left of tweeter Sophie Meaden.

As to the chalked message, it is said that the old Soviet Spetsnaz had an unofficial saying: “when the real revolution comes, we shall not kill those with big houses and cars, and we shall not kill those who talk about social justice, but we shall kill those with big houses and cars who talk about social justice.”

Were they wrong, looking at the UK, USA etc today?

Usually, it is the supposed “anti-racists” who are loonie: see

Incidentally, guess what (((ethno-cultural tribe))) comprises many, perhaps most, psychiatrists in the USA? That’s right— “them”.

Translates to a Commons with about 323 Reform UK MPs (3 short of overall majority), 71 Cons (very weak official Opposition), 63 Greens, 62 LibDems, 59 Lab, 44 SNP [etc].

So there it is. Reform still the only game in town but, crucially, needing support to govern.

Also, as with the last (?) 15-20 opinion polls, this one shows Starmer as very likely to lose his own seat. I think that Starmer will quite likely decide not to lead Labour into the next general election. He must see the writing on the wall, surely.

The —in Hitler’s phrase— “dirty democratic politicians” always place personal interest, and then party interest, above national or world interest. We saw that in the UK in, to take just one example, the extended —and totally unnecessary— “lockdowns” etc during the 2020-2022 “Covid” nonsense (panicdemic/scamdemic).

For once, the Starmer-Labour government does something worthwhile.

One change not made, but which should be made, is to abolish rental deposits. Inconvenient, irritating (when repaid or not repaid at end of tenancy), and unnecessary anyway (the landlord-parasites need not be potentially out of pocket, because they can just tack a small amount onto each weekly, monthly, or other durational rent payment).

A horrible tribe.

One officer with access and a sidearm could end this madness.

[“Until 1976, you could walk into a shop in London, England called Harrods and buy a lion, a camel, or an elephant. In 1969, two young Australians named John Rendall and Ace Bourke walked in and bought a three-month-old lion cub.

They named him Christian. He lived with them above a furniture shop, played in local gardens, and rode around the city in the back of a convertible. When he outgrew London, they flew him to Kenya, where a conservationist named George Adamson released him into the wild in the Kora National Reserve.

A year later, the two men flew back to find him. Adamson warned them Christian was now fully wild and might not remember them. Despite being the head of a wild pride, Christian recognised them immediately and ran to greet them. The reunion was filmed, and the footage has since been viewed over 100 million times.

Christian was last seen in early 1973, heading north. He was never seen again.“]

A beautiful documentary film; I saw it many years ago.

Our animal friends.

A different film about Africa:

[“From the 1920s to the 1960s, around 10,000 shoe shops across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada had X-ray machines built into the floor. You put your feet inside a wooden cabinet and looked through a viewing hole at the top to see the bones of your feet glowing inside the shoes.

Children loved it. Parents thought it meant a better fit. Nobody told them they were standing directly on top of an unshielded X-ray tube, absorbing radiation that scattered straight up through their legs and body every time.

In 1999, Time magazine named it one of the 100 worst ideas of the 20th century.“]

I remember doing that occasionally, maybe once per year, at one of the two now-long-gone smallish department stores in Reading (Berkshire, UK), either Wellstead’s or Heelas, maybe the former, having been taken there by my mother. Early to mid-1960s.

In the 1967 film Billion Dollar Brain, Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) uses one of those fluoroscopes (aka “pedoscopes”) to look inside a Thermos flask:

Britain should leave NATO, and cultivate far better relations with Russia. We could get oil and gas for our people at cost price, or even below cost price. This is a realistic possibility.

    1. Thank you very much. In fact, one of the most prominent liberal/neomarxist stooges of the Jews, that disgusting, Jewish-looking, fat slob known as Michael Moore, wrote a book entitled “Stupid White Men” (2001), where he pushed that line of thought.

      Yes, everybody blames “Whitey”!

      1. I hate Michael Moore, an odious slob. I watched his documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” once. If i remember correctly, it basically blamed the Iraq war completely on that idiot George Bush. No mention of the Jewish/Israel lobby and Neocons who were really behind it. And it’s supposedly an “independent” film, but was produced or financed by the (((Weinstein))) brothers, who at the time were probably the two most powerful people in Hollywood.

      2. Yes, I fully agree with you. Michael Moore is a most disgusting creature. Like every Marxist (because deep down that is what he is), he is blind to the Jewish cabal that rules the USA and the Western world. There is NO excuse for such ignorance; therefore, like ALL the American neo-conservatives and republicans, he is a POS who deserves a horrible end.

  1. That little clip of Trump in the balcony talking like a drunk about Iran when it was supposed to be talking about Christmas is a good example that his lost his marbles. Having said that, after his awful message where he said: “Open the f… strait!” he should have been consigned to the loony bin. The fellow is a damn psychopath.

  2. I have watched a video of Trump answering questions for the Press in the White House; he cannot even speak English properly. He said: “All the bridges in Iran will be decimated” (?) Decimated means: the killing of 1 out of 10 prisoners/hostages. Putting in the same sentence “all” and “decimated” constitutes an oxymoron (in the case of Trump, pun intended)

      1. What about the unbearable misuse and abuse of the word “iconic”? It really drives me mad! BTW, the same happens in Argentina, where the moronic, uneducated talking heads and scribblers use it all the time, “icónico = iconic” 😡​😡​😡​
