A fair point, I suppose. A few people (of prominence) such as Hitchens have done what they can to wake people up to the weaponization of “the virus” for the promotion of an ulterior agenda (the “Great Reset”), but the big battalions of the Government, Opposition (so-called) and msm were all pro-lockdown, pro-shutdown, pro-facemask nonsense etc.

Fleet Street editor Roy Greenslade reveals his secret support for the IRA and refuses to apologisehttps://t.co/BGqpsIGFAH
The UK msm is riddled with traitors of all sorts: former IRA supporters, supporters of Israel and Jewish terrorism, “refugees welcome” dimwits, “antifascist” idiots, anti-white European race and culture oppositionists etc.
In relation to the Greenslade matter, he was not alone in being a Fleet Street partisan for the terrorists in the 1970s.
There was a well-known part-Irish, part-Belgian, part-Jewish journalist (whose name presently escapes me), now long-deceased, who was also a columnist in London and who wrote about 30 years ago how appalled he was when, in the early 1970s, he realized how many mainstream/Fleet Street journalists reporting on the situation in Northern Ireland were strongly pro-Republican and often actually pro-IRA (Provisional IRA). This at a time when bombs were going off in London and across the UK as well as “over the water” in Northern Ireland itself.
The public were unaware how many employees of their daily “news” papers were pro-IRA.
The same newspapers are still pumping out disguised propaganda, though these days it is more often that they are supporting migration invasion, “black lives matter” nonsense etc.

“What would you do if you won the lottery?” A “frequently-asked question”, I suppose. Most people do not stray far from the “new house, new car, expensive holiday” banalities. I think that I might offer a different answer, should that benevolent lightning strike me. I should probably employ an expensive firm of solicitors and, if necessary, Counsel, to use available legal strategems such as Norwich Pharmacal orders against a number of pseudonymous Twitter trolls. Let’s find out who they really are, and where they are, so that legal action can be taken against them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Pharmacal_order.
As Chekhov said, either (I forget) in one of his famous works, or perhaps to Gorky, and later recounted in Gorky’s memoirs called Literary Portraits, that “there are men to whom a tree is sacred“.

It is hard to imagine anywhere, or any architecture, that cannot be improved by the proximity of a few trees, or which will not be impoverished if existing trees are cut down.
Trees have several enemies in modern Britain, not least local councils who often resent the cost of sweeping leaves etc. The “health and safety” aspect is sometimes brought into play, often unecessarily. Yes, occasionally, tree branches do fall on people or, more usually, parked cars, during storms or other periods of high wind. That is not a good reason to cut down trees wholesale.
Britain has relatively low tree cover, comparing the UK to other European countries by proportion. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_countries_by_forest_area. Britain’s tree cover, though greater than it was in the recent past, is still only 13%. Germany has 33%, France 36%, and Finland 73%.
Britain needs more forests, more woods, more tree cover generally, eg in urban and suburban areas. The Woodland Trust, which has planted over 43 million trees over the past four or five decades, can help and even gives away saplings in some cases: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_Trust.

I can understand why Hitchens has acceded to the softly-spoken insistence that he have the Covid-19 vaccine injection. He wants to travel, and that is being made all but impossible without vaccination. Many in the old Soviet Union, the vast majority in fact, made the same sort of compromise: unenthusiastic compliance with the regime, in order to live a quiet life, avoid penalties, and receive modest benefits such as good jobs, flats, or (for the few) travel outside Soviet borders.
An idealized view, to be sure, but essentially accurate. Britain was a better place before migration invasion, before Zionist control of the mass media (and now even online space), before multikulti and other nonsense.

An old German lady told me, long ago, that “it will take a long time, but people will eventually have to face the fact that the only answer is National Socialism.“
Hitler, in his Table Talk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler%27s_Table_Talk] remarks, not far from the disastrous end of the Second World War, that National Socialism (as known) was finished, but that in maybe a century’s time, the essence of National Socialism would be reborn in another form and then would seize the world with the force of a religion. God mote it be!
Interesting. The never-ending movement of history.

Some readers of my blog may have noticed that a small group of (((trolls))) and nuisances on Twitter have recently been making untrue allegations of criminal or near-criminal behaviour by me and two other named persons.
In relation to the allegations against me specifically, I have already been forced to complain to the employer of one of the said nuisances, an NHS consultant. I may be making further complaint (regulatory and/or official) in relation to that person and others.
I am not a natural complainer (and usually ignore trolls and nuisances because of my belief in free speech), but was forced, by the harassing tweets of these individuals, to take action.
Update, 22 June 2023
The individual who made the false allegations against me was one Tim G. Stevens, NHS psychiatrist and soi-disant novelist, who self-publishes derivative spy thrillers on Amazon.
My main view about Labour has not changed, which is that Labour’s problem is not a tactical one (this or that policy, this or that leader) but a strategic one.
Labour was the party of the industrial proletariat, which now scarcely exists. It kept going since, say, 1989 or so, mainly on the idea that Labour was a kind of broad, one-size-fits-all, social-democratic (though not “socialist”) party. Clause 4 (nationalization) was dropped in the 1990s, along with The Red Flag and Labour conference speakers affecting the vocative, “Comrade” (which was pretty silly by then).
One sometimes sees the saying “to be a citizen of the world is to belong nowhere” or some such. Well, Labour in the 1990s and up to 2010 was a party trying to appeal to almost everyone, which in the end meant that it appealed to almost no-one.
An exaggeration, of course. After all, over 32% of those who actually voted still voted Labour in 2019. FPTP voting meant that Labour won rather less than one-third of the seats in the House of Commons.
Labour’s strengths now lie mainly or broadly with what Woodrow Wyatt (in his Diaries) termed “the blacks and browns”, and with the public service workers generally. They, however, are relatively small minorities. Not more than about 25% altogether. In the 2019 election, that 25% was added to by the urban white English young, mainly. The under-25s.
Many msm commentators have noted that, on the arguably outdated “class” basis, Labour now finds its support more in the “middle class(es)” than in the “working class(es)”.
Even accepting that those terms still have some meaning, that can only be a partial explanation. True, I think, as far as it goes, though.
Another factor is that the “proletariat” has been replaced by the “precariat”, people who are in unstable employment or no employment, and who have little on which to fall back if times are hard. The precariat also has only the most rudimentary sense of community compared to the old proletariat.
You only have to look at Labour Party MPs. What are they, mainly? Not people from a conventional “British worker” background; there are hardly any like that. “Professional” politicians with backgrounds in (paid) charity work, NGOs etc; “comms” and public relations types; ex-civil servants and teachers; lawyers; and/or those “blacks and browns” (etc).
The Labour Party MP-cadre is well out of touch with most of the British people (and so British voters).
Nothing startlingly new in what I have said above. Labour MPs themselves have identified their problem, but they are unable to do anything about it without committing political hara-kiri, or cancelling themselves.
As I have blogged before, if Scotland does go “independent”, which is looking ever more likely, then 59 MPs leave the Commons. Only one seat at present is Scottish Labour, but the importance is that, without the SNP MPs (presently 47), Labour would never be able to get a coalition or minority government together, on present showing. As for a majority in the Commons, almost impossible unless —to state the obvious— it were to win a general election victory on the scale of 1945 or 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1945_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_United_Kingdom_general_election.
Never has that seemed less likely, unless you include the Michael Foot years.
It may be that a combination of public anger at the Boris-idiot government, together with the increasing numbers of black/brown voters, and also the antipathy of younger voters to the Conservative Party, will put Labour in a more favourable position, but that is a steep hill to climb.

We often spend time doing things such as trying to gain ordinary political traction, or defending ourselves against the onslaught of nonsense (malicious complaints to social media organizations, police etc) from the Jew-Zionist element and their “antifa” idiot-serfs, or commenting on the events of the day.
All of the above are of course necessary, but we should never forget that our primary focus should be the creation of a new and better society, together with the race and culture which should and must underpin that new society.
Society consists of people, and the most important thing of all is the production of sufficient numbers of white Northern European children, properly brought up and educated.
We, as white Northern Europeans, are facing existential peril. Call it “the Great Replacement” or simply “White Genocide”. Whatever. For example, in the world as a whole, only a few percent of people in this world are actually ethnically European, even broadly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people (n.b.the most populous regions, i.e. those of Asia, especially China, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which four states comprise nearly half the world population, are not covered in that article).
More directly, our own European societies have faced, in the past half century or so, unprecedented migration invasion. Since the fall of the socialist world (i.e. since 1989) and particularly since the disruptions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the fall of Gaddafi in Libya, a gigantic wave of migration-invasion has hit Europe.
We have seen how the evil cabals of the international conspiracy have helped that invasion, and funnelled the invaders from Africa and Asia to Europe, even to the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia etc; even to Iceland!
We have our backs to the wall, but all is not lost. The world may soon face destruction on a scale that may dwarf even the terrible events of the Second World War. If (when) that happens, we as white Northern European social nationalists may be mere bystanders and/or victims, but after the corrupt old world is destroyed (in large measure) we shall have both the opportunity and the duty to create a new society out of the ruins of the old.

Another 49 “detained” (i.e. registered, given shelter and food and about £50 a week in spending money, then allowed to roam British streets).
In fact, not 49 but 175, because the French navy etc “detained” 126 others, then brought them to Dover!
175 a day now, in the winter. That will be 500 a day, probably more, by midsummer. Note also that most of the invaders today were picked up by French naval forces, then “escorted to Britain“!

“Ruben Hood, Ruben Hood, riding through the glen…”
I happened to catch the end credits of an episode of the 1950s TV series The Adventures of Robin Hood [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_(TV_series)], which I recall seeing as a young child (I was born in 1956, but the series was being shown in the UK until 1961 or even later).
I was unaware until today that the executive producer was a Jewish woman called Hannah Weinstein [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Weinstein]: “In 1952, after settling in London, she established her own production company, Sapphire Films, financially aided by the American Communist Party.[3][4] The company eventually made series for the British commercial ITV network via an arrangement with ITC‘s Lew Grade.” [Wikipedia].
Who would have thought it? Robin Hood filmed by an American Jewess closely connected with the American Communist Party?
Even I am amazed that the contamination of (in) UK-based TV was so blatant as long ago as 1956.
Maybe the theme song was a clue, using the Scottish word “glen” for a location in England. I noted also, today, that the Script Supervisor was one “Ruben”…

From 1939. When I set foot on the Charles Bridge, in 1988, there were even fewer people than in that 1939 photograph.
It occurs to me, not for the first time, that a major difference between the UK and most of Europe is that, by reason of the Second World War and other upheavals, those other countries have had to look at and revalue their societies and institutions in a way that Britain has not. Not to anything like the same extent. Which is perhaps why Britain has institutions of various sorts that really are running on empty, that are just shells, without much real substance.
What do I mean by the above? Look at, inter alia, Parliament (the Commons and, even more so, the House of Lords), the Monarchy, the FPTP voting system, the Bar, the overall educational system, and the devalued Honours system.

My basic medium-term strategy would be to concentrate as many British/European people of social-national tendency as possible in one region, probably the South West of England.
The concept in outline is clear, the Schwerpunkt or “concentration of forces” at a single point, or in this case a diffuse point, a whole geographic region.
Not everyone can relocate, but a goodly number can, and many would.
I am not going to go into details here, mainly because I have done so in my previous blogging on the subject, going back 4 years.
Social nationalism must exist everywhere in the UK, including the major urban areas which are increasingly occupied by alien populations; the point is that one must have both a “home area” or “base area” and also the (same) place or area where people and forces are concentrated.
The people and groups in the “occupied” areas can draw strength and succour from that base or home area.
We do not know what disasters will befall the UK in the short to medium-term future. War, civil war, economic collapse, even a real pandemic which will kill much of the population.
We must be ready to take action, and then take up the reins of power, if and when something truly large-scale happens.

The UK msm (and so UK people) often think that the Roma Gypsies (with Romanian or other passports) are Romanian. Not so. They may have been born there, lived there, acquired passports there, but they are not Romanian.
The popular cultural milieu is where the purge must start. Having said that, take the above as a “many a true word spoken in jest” situation. That clip talks about the year 2050; in fact, the USA is already majority non-white, and the UK will, supposedly, be majority non-white by 2066. I think that it could in reality be as early as 2040 in the UK, with the continuing migration-invasion, and the far faster breed-rate of non-whites today, as well o the reluctance of white British people to breed, or to have more than one or two children.

Smith rolling of her cadaver eyes at a “million killed” tells you everything you need to know about the mentality of Centrists
The very fact that a dim and corrupt woman such as Jacqui Smith became an MP says much about the decadence of the political system in the UK. That she became Home Secretary beggars belief. Corrupt, an expenses cheat, a freeloader and a fraudster, as well as an influence-peddler.
Thick as two short planks, she was a teacher in the State school system before latching to to the old MP racket.
Now look. Despite her disgrace and removal as MP, she is sometimes invited onto TV shows as (risibly) having some kind of weight or credibility (why?), is paid much for “consultancy” “work” with KPMG etc (why? she knows nothing), and is even invited to take part in pleb-TV such as Strictly Come Dancing. How does she get away with it? Well, she is pro-NWO, pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby. Das ist’s! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqui_Smith#After_politics

When I myself was about 7, 8, 9, in the early-mid 1960s, I would often cycle from my home (almost at the very point at which Reading, Berkshire, becomes South Oxfordshire and open fields). I would sometimes venture several miles further, often to Mapledurham (the Thames-side village used, a few years later, in The Eagle Has Landed, though in that film the location was transposed to coastal Norfolk).
Hitchens is right. Almost everyone now is afraid of others, of a virus most will either not get or, if they get it, will not be aware of it, and of their own shadows.

Hitler etc
The huge “Hitler industry” rolls on, making profits for (often) Jews and others. Much of it is nonsensical. The typical TV “documentary” on Hitler has a number of “experts” (not infrequently Jewish), and often not very expert.
I was just watching a film about Hitler’s own art collection, and his own private funds. There were a number of schoolboy-level errors, as when one American “expert” mentioned the concentration camp “near the little town of Dachau, just south of Munich.” Dachau is north-west of Munich. I remember seeing the roadsigns for that place as I myself drove north out of Munich. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau,_Bavaria#Geography.
A small point, admittedly, but typical of the careless scholarship on anything to do with the NSDAP, Hitler, or the Reich generally.
The film about Hitler’s private funds did contain some points of interest, as when one researcher said that, when he started to research the subject, he was expecting to find that Hitler had looted his art collection (“expecting“…!), but was “surprised” (!) to find that every last item had actually been paid for in the usual way.
Looks like that researcher had had his mind warped by anti-Hitler propaganda…at least he was honest to admit what he had found out.

Procedures that I have been waiting for, for the Last few years. IM 70 COME OCTOBER. This is how they are going to get rid of the older population. I paid into the goverments pension scheme all my life. They are a disgrace and the sheeple out there that are doing as they are told
Wearing masks, getting unfit for purpose tests then having vaccines that are unproven and probably dangerous. There now going to test the vaccines on children aged 6 to 17, where will it end? The gas chambers?
This is but the start. Whether the repression will reach its peak in 2021-2022 is as yet uncertain. It may not reach its peak until many years down the line. I do not know. What is happening now seems to be in the nature of a mass psychological experiment. How much will people take? How far can they be led? How much control will they accept? And so on.
The path (part of the now-called “Thames Path”) by the River Thames between Pangbourne and Goring, an area I myself know well, both in a childhood of the early/mid 1960s and early 1970s, and later, when I walked that same path in 1998. It was pretty overgrown in places at that time.
An area of England that has not changed much, superficially, in the past decades.
After that, Farming Today had an interview with a farmer who, starting several years ago, realized that his arable farm, farmed using modern chemicals etc, was losing all soil vitality. As a result, he has turned more to the once-common, but now rather rare, mixed farm model (decried by industrial farmers as inefficient).
Wise move. Rudolf Steiner said that the best model for farming was the mixed farm. Long term view, not short term. Environmentally-friendly.
Radio 4 Today was then broadcast. They interviewed an expert in cryptocurrencies, who himself has made tens of millions of pounds from them. He expects a Bitcoin crash.
Bitcoin was invented in 2008, and at first had no real-world value at all.
I think that 1 Bitcoin was valued around £10,000 at time of blogging. Between then and now, the price has varied between about £2,600 at lowest and today’s recordbreaking peak.
As of today, 20th February 2021, 1 Bitcoin is valued at not far short of £40,000!
I expected a Bitcoin crash three years ago. Never happened, though the value did plummet before recovering and climbing further. Now, though, a crash is surely (?) inevitable.
I notice that Alison Chabloz accepts Bitcoin donations; I hope that she got some before the price rocketed, and still has them. If so, she may have a windfall. https://alisonchabloz.com/how-to-donate/.
Strange to think that an early investor or speculator in Bitcoin, who might have bought 100 Bitcoin for as little as £200 in 2011 (or only £20 at start of trading in early 2011, i.e. at about 20p each), would now be sitting on £4 million.
On the other hand, any value held in Bitcoin is like value held in chips at a casino. Until cashed in, they are only of notional value. The man or woman who bought 100 Bitcoin for £20 or £200 in 2011, and who is now sitting on £4M, may soon be sitting on £40M, or £400,000, or £4,000, or 4p…
I suppose that anyone who is in the fortunate position of owning £4M in Bitcoin today would be well advised to buy a decent country house for £2M or £3M and retain the rest in Bitcoin while the price travels ever(?) higher.
There will be a crash in the end. This is fool’s gold spun out of straw.

Anyone imagining that the “virus” hysteria and repression is all about “the virus” or public health is much mistaken. The health situation has been twisted and weaponized.
What we have seen over the past year is not complete as of itself, but a template for later repressions.
Worrying for sure that so many young British people are so brainwashed, but not an unexpected piece of news. After all, that is what the System aimed at and is aiming at, namely an unthinking, easily manipulated, cultureless, and eventually raceless population. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. White Genocide.
The lockdown fanatics are very touchy about Sweden’s continued success, their schools open and people being allowed to go out and meet their family and friends. The comparison of death rates across lockdown and non lockdown states in the US also shows non lockdown fared better pic.twitter.com/tFedP6hzhi
This is happening widely. My own mother-in-law, aged about 95, was recently in hospital with a non-Covid problem. After about 2-3 weeks in hospital, her routine test was positive. She had, like so many, picked up “the virus” in hospital. She had no (and never developed any) symptoms at all (and is now back at her home), but had she died in hospital from her pre-existing problem, she would have been marked down as having died “with Coronavirus” or “within 28 days of having had a positive Coronavirus test”.
This is abuse of statistics (and hoodwinking of the public) taken to an absurd level.
@cyrtistyler . may I suggest that you send details to the e-mail address given at the top of the Bel Mooney article, femailreaders@dailymail.co.uk ? This has been a widespread unsubstantiated rumour for too long and really needs a proper investigation. https://t.co/CHOKJhISyf
Yes, @Fenton0101 the physical survival of Prague is a sort of miracle. Almost no other major Central European city escaped terrible destruction. Alas, the spirit of the place has been largely driven away by mass tourism and all that brings. https://t.co/o4hf6SE10j
I have recently blogged, though only briefly, about my experiences of Prague in 1988 and 1999.
I should have thought there was a great deal of point @dpjhodges. If you think a world of screens, masks, travel bans, economic and social strangulation, informers and overmighty police is normal. then that is what you will get. If you want real normality, you'll have to protest. https://t.co/1oy7OERKdX

Listening to the Radio 4 early morning “God slot”. A “priestess” of the Church of England commending the books of the Jewish feminist scribbler Betty Friedan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Friedan].
I should imagine that Prayer for the Day actually turns people off religion and/or spirituality.
Time to disestablish what is left of the Church of England, sack the arse-faced lesbians (and/or Vicar of Dibley types) posing as priests, and get rid of the platitudinous and absurd Prayer for the Day as well.
Disunited States
The graphic is not very well done, but anyway it is clear that rather many Americans do not think that their interests are served by a continuation of the USA as it now is.
The Economist Yearbook once had a clever and somewhat satirical cover, a map showing the USA as about 10 or 12 regions, with amusing names. I was unable to find the picture today.
For example, California was one region, maybe with the West Coast of the USA through Oregon and Washington states, and up to the Canadian border.
After all, California alone stacks up impressively against most nation-states in terms of geographic size, resources, economy and population (nearly 40 millions): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California.
What is different now is that we have the cultural-racial divide, sharpened by the absurdities of the Trump years, and the fact that the USA now has a basically Jewish-Zionist government (almost all of Biden’s top people are Jews). In the past, that “influence” was growing; now it has taken over completely.
Demographics too. The USA, once about 90% white Northern European by origin, is now only about 45% or so, and falling.
In theory, a constituent state of the USA can secede; in reality, I wonder…the USA was set up by a cabal of freemasons in the 18thC and is now the hub of the New World Order (NWO). It will not lightly be dismantled.
It is more likely that “safe zones” will develop, mini-ethnostates, which will cut themselves off from the larger urban areas, in an intensified form of what has been happening in the USA for half a century or more.
Another example would be what has happened in South Africa since the ANC took over in the 1990s. Johannesburg, for example, has been largely abandoned by the European (white) population, and the wealthier non-whites as well, who live in areas around the original city, in suburbs such as Sandton.
Not a country I know, though I have seen Jo’burg from the air at night (I once changed planes there, in 1977).
In the “white flight” trend, America got there first. The next step will be de facto (probably not actual) secession, and not of whole states within the USA but of smaller units.
Tweets seen
Patriotic Alternative and co-leader Laura Towler have been suspended from Twitter.
“Antifa” cheerleader Mike Stuchbery (an Australian sometime schoolteacher who posed as “historian” online, and who became briefly notorious in the UK, eventually fleeing to Stuttgart, where he still lives) is crowing because Patriotic Alternative and Laura Towler have now been expelled from Twitter. Mark Collett was removed some time ago. I myself (not connected organizationally with PA or the others, incidentally) was expelled from Twitter in 2018, at the instigation of a pack of Jews (quelle surprise).
Who is Stuchbery? The sort of individual who talks about “Nazi” repressions in the 1933-45 period, says little or nothing about the far more severe Stalinist repressions of the same period, and supports destruction of free speech now.
Stuchbery was also involved, with Roanna Carleton Taylor of Derbyshire (on Twitter as “@antifashwitch”) and a Pakistani solicitor, in soliciting donations from “mugs” in order, supposedly, to be able to take legal action against the activist known as Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). As I predicted at the time, that never happened. The last donation was in mid-2020: see https://uk.gofundme.com/f/sue-tommy-robinson.
What happened to the £11,644? Only Stuchbery, “antifashwitch” Roanna and the Pakistani one-man solicitor firm know. Certainly I do not; I do know, though, that there never were proceedings issued, and no legal case against “Robinson” (whom I do not support, incidentally).
If there was a fraud, the police should investigate it. Recently, the Roanna woman deleted all her tweets published before February 2021. Whether that had anything to do with the “missing” £11,644, or some other legal or police problem, I do not know.
Politically-naive “socialist” scribbler Peter Jukes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jukes] tweeted, a couple of years ago, to try to get “Roanna”, and so Stuchbery, more money:
Patriotic Alternative and Laura Towler have never been anything other than peaceful protesters and activists. The routes of peaceful protest, and even written or broadcast dissent, are being closed off. What does that leave open to people? (in the old phrase, “answers on a postcard“…)…
Seems that “Dr. Dim” never learns. Only a day or two ago, he had to apologize to Alison Chabloz for abusive material in at least one of his tweets (and his employer, Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, also told him to delete that tweet, which he has done). Now he is abusing her again on Twitter, only a day or so later, and tweeting something which is untrue (again)! The General Medical Council [GMC] may have to deal with Dr Dim in the end.
His own medical condition or “issue” seems to be getting to him, tweeting about Alison Chabloz at nearly half past one in the morning…; at about four o’clock in the morning he was, apparently, still tweeting (though about something else).
I myself would be entitled to make official complaint about “Dr. Dim”, complaint to the regulatory body or bodies concerned, by reason of his insolent and abusive tweets about me over several years. So far, I have not bothered to do so. So far.

What horrible disease Matt? Do you mean #Covid19, which has a non-lethality of 99.9% ?
Do you mean the #plandemic, with fake death numbers & many false positives from #PCR test, which was never intended as a diagnostic test, as explicitly stated by its inventor Kary Mullis?

We are reaping the awful outcomes of the cultural revolution that happened here from the 1960s onwards. Moral weakness, bad education, demise of marriage and the family, soaring crime, rampant corruption. See Peter Hitchens' book "The Abolition of Britain". Fascinating.
In the contemporary idiom, Stuchbery gets “owned” again…
Left to their own devices, all African “states” would collapse into chaos and/or barbarism. Only the fact that white Europeans help them by trade, charity, international law and peacekeeping etc keeps them even semi-civilized. Compare Rhodesia up to 1979 with its later manifestation as Zimbabwe.
As for South Africa, if and when the whites leave (many already have done but there still remain about 4.5 million), expect a civil war so brutal that it will only be comparable to those of the Congo.
In 1911, white people made up 22% of the population of South Africa. By 1980 that had already declined to 16% under the pressure of an African birth rate risen by reason of white rule, law and order, food supply, medical services etc. Now? Maybe 7.5% of the population is white, and that proportion still falling fast.
Chekhov had a point. It might be argued that in contemporary Britain, and in North America, there is at least no “premature old age“, but maybe there is: true, people are living longer in years, but at the same time a strange double-aspect is seen.
The young today are careful, cautious, scared of what they are indoctrinated into being scared of, meaning “the virus”, “racism”, “sexism” etc; even taking any risk at all. In short, they often seem to exhibit traits of caution and even fearfulness, traditionally the preserve of the middleaged and, indeed, the elderly.
The other aspect seen would be a kind of juvenile attitude to life, seen in the adult, even in the middleaged. The obsessive interest in (in the UK) soccer football and (in the USA) American football. The playing of video games, computer games by those aged 30, 40, even 50+.
Other symptoms? The whole “dating app” culture. The middleaged women, often divorced, who feverishly pretend to a lifestyle more appropriate (if at all) to girls of 18 or 20. The male equivalent, as well. Also, the lack of interest in anything of a serious nature, even in those who (via entitlement more than via merit, often) are in the highest positions.
Examples? It became notorious, during the disastrous years of the David Cameron-Levita governments of 2010-2015, that the Prime Minister of the UK spent what his own civil servants called “a frightening amount of time” playing games on his mobile telephone. If I recall aright, his favourite was one called Angry Birds.
Others in that evil yet stupid 2010-2015 government had similar tastes. One was the useless Ed Vaizey (like David Cameron-Levita, a part-Jew).
Now we have “Boris” Johnson, another part-Jew, and another with puerile tastes and behavioural patterns. Someone just posing as Prime Minister, as did Cameron-Levita.
The above may explain why it is hard to form a serious non-System political party worth anything. The young are more interested in complying with whatever they are told by the msm , or in whatever is said about them or their friends on various social media platforms. The older (25+) people are not much better, and the middleaged are mainly engaged in pursuits which are extensions of juvenalia.
Politics, especially radical/revolutionary politics, requires other traits: risk-taking, commitment to ideals and to a cause, a certain selflessness, a willingness by the individual to join with others for a noble cause, as well as anger at the way things are, and a determination to struggle to a better future.
The National Socialists of 1919-1945 had that; the Bolsheviks and other Communists had that; the milder socialists and social-democrats too. Without that drive and belief, everything just trundles on as it is, or perhaps gradually getting worse.
Ha. When living in Kazakhstan (1996-97), I used to travel up to the mountains with friends in their Lada Niva. I even drove it for short distances once or twice myself. In the UK, a few years ago, I thought of buying a secondhand one, but few were available and, crucially, the Niva only comes in standard shift, not automatic, and my present (UK) driving licence only allows me to drive automatics. Quite a good budget option for off-road, though.
And why not? Decapitating a baby at birth is absolutely the same as a perfectly legal 'termination'. But believing that sex is obvious and fixed at birth it grotesquely bigoted. Plus, any complaint here would be both racist and sexist. So there's nothing to see here, move along! pic.twitter.com/5uP4q4u9QX
Lying press at their cover up deceit yet again. Refusing to tell you that all Bellfield's victims were blondes, because he is a Roma supremacist who despises non gypsies and especially hates blonde women.#racismcutsbothwayshttps://t.co/ziRs3kj9zk
I generally disapprove of capital punishment, as such (for spiritual-religious reasons, and because justice must be tempered with mercy), but there may be situations where a public hanging might do much to repress those who should be repressed.
1/3 @jimezsmoots. Pedantry is about small unimportant differences. The two were quite distinct. During WW2, for example, French Jews were much safer in the Italian occupation zone of France than in the unoccupied Vichy zone… https://t.co/4vdcUfN0Uq
I agree @andersinvienna. . It is painful to admit that Prague was far more beautiful when I first saw it in 1978, filthy from pollution, crumbling, oppressed, poor – and empty. It is a metaphor for the failure of post-Soviet freedom to fulfil its promises. https://t.co/9VqfCKGxme
Ha ha! That reminds me when a Soviet citizen visiting London in the late 1980s saw the BBC TV News, presented by Moira Stuart [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moira_Stuart], and said to me, “not only a black woman, but one with a speech impediment!“…
What would he have thought of Britain in 2021?
Something a little different today: a message from our Director, Rachel on who we are, what we do and why we do it.
Tweeted by a barrister, one of them, so I suppose that younger people reading think it “must be right”. In fact, while it is true that women (and others) could be refused service in a pub, that almost never happened simply because a woman wanted a drink. The same was true of blacks. As for “being gay was imprisonable“…no, it never was, not in the UK, though there were offences committed if actual gay sex was indulged in.
As ever, the devil is in the detail, and in the words “legal right“…
Those tweets give a false picture.
I myself was once refused service in a bar, for having entered the saloon bar of a country pub, in Surrey, while wearing muddy Wellingtons. I, and the young lady accompanying me, had to move to the (equally empty) public bar, where the floor consisted of stone flags instead of carpet. That was in 1984.
