As I have mentioned before in the blog, those whom I knew in the mid/late 1970s and afterwards, and who used cannabis, all more or less dropped out of society, though most were sufficiently insulated by money not to fall to the bottom of society. They were mostly able to find a niche here or there, or marry into —at least some— money…
I myself was never a smoker of any kind of cigarettes, though I did enjoy Havana cigars when I had a girlfriend who used to bring me some quite often from various places, via duty-free shops. 1980s.
Thank God for that. Here’s hoping all will now go well.
The clash between the Kabul hero Pen Farthing & Defence Minister Ben Wallace was never about ‘people over animals’ – it’s about our Government’s chaotic evacuation https://t.co/Fwtj0LZiPY via @mailplus
The Johnson govt are a disgrace, they've implied Pen Farthing has jumped the queue, prioritised animals over people, absolute bollocks, #PenFarthing is all about compassion, empathy and humanity, he's been betrayed by liars and propagandists, Pen is everything they're not..

A second-generation Nevisian migrant demands that indigenous Britons must become minorities in their own country to satisfy her feigned altruism and the greed of her corporate masters. https://t.co/S56xieiZBq
A sharply cunning but basically simplistic woman. One thing she did have, though, which the present government of clowns entirely lacks— decisiveness (and executive ability).
Massive house price rises have meant the ratio of home value to earnings is at its highest since 2007, just before the financial crisis triggered a 20% drop in prices 👇 pic.twitter.com/TMMMNrs9uI
Not being funny but haven't you had 18 months to prepare for this evacuation, didn't France get their people out last month? Why then blame Pen Farthing for taking your time away from the evacuation programme? And wasn't Raab still on holiday when the Taliban marched in?
Happened to see a tweet about the most recent Extinction Rebellion demonstrations (or should that be “tantrums”?):
Extinction Rebellion has begun two weeks of protests, but Professor Frank Furedi calls it "moral and physical blackmail on the lives of ordinary people".
I would not in general be much on the same page as Frank Furedi, or indeed radio loudmouth Julia Hartley-Brewer, whom I had to set straight once or twice when I had a Twitter account (a few malicious Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018), but “there is no religion higher than truth”, as they say…
Socio-political hypocrisy: there’s a lot of it about. Not that the phenomenon is new. For decades, there have been the pro-immigration and “refugees welcome” idiots and virtue-signallers; more often than not they live in leafy suburban areas where the effects of the UK migration-invasion have been muted, at least on the surface.
I myself recall a girlfriend of the 1980s who once said to me (we were certainly not ideologically completely compatible!) that the British people who did not want mass immigration were mostly those who did not like to see council houses going to immigrants instead of to them! A neat British way of bringing social snobbery into the discussion (something that we saw also in recent years in relation to Brexit: the Remainer mythus that pro-Brexit people were little more than British hillbillies).
Easy for a woman whose father, upon her return from living in a foreign capital, simply bought her a London house outright as a present, who got paid far more for occasional or part-time work than most people did for working full-time, and who also had considerable inheritance expectations, to express scarcely-veiled contempt for the poorer section of the British population.
She simply did not see that many poorer British people were and are angered by the way alien imports take British social housing. Not everyone can be housed just by asking their father to buy them a house!
Just yesterday it came to light that central government is helping local councils buy “large houses” so that Afghan families with 10 or 12 members can live in them. Most of those large houses will be in the more expensive neighbourhoods as well, so British people are going to be doubly cheated.
The British people will also end up working, and being taxed, so that the Afghans (and the rest) can live parasitically upon the Brits. The Afghans will mostly not even speak English, will mostly have no skills or qualifications, but will have (according to studies) a far lower average I.Q. than the British, and so will be just a drag or a millstone round the necks of the people of this country.

2/2 Jonni @jdportes. Your approach, to start with the theory, and to choose those figures which suit that theory( the fashionable but i suspect doomed Blairite view that manufactiring employment doesn't matter) is the classic approach of the dogmatist…. https://t.co/Riehfc3Omq
3/2 Jonni @jdportes. The belief you try to defend with these figures, as well as wholly lacking concern for human beings, is the policy which led directly to the Trump convulsion you no doubt despise. His election was the revolt of those whose lost jobs you think don't matter. https://t.co/Riehfc3Omq
Jonni @jdportes. I stick to what I first said, that most of it was destroyed after we entered the Common Market in 1972. Subsequent events, measure them how you will (and I believe such measurements are variable) , do not alter that observable fact. The jobs never came back. https://t.co/GL7QiMwUHT
Councils 'will be given grants to buy family homes to house refugees'.
If you still feel the slightest obligation to pay tax to a regime hell-bent on turning your children into an oppressed minority, there's something very wrong with your moral compass. https://t.co/lzCuiOsbqQ
How to characterize the Extinction Rebellion nonsense and demonstrations? “Woodstock with worry”?
FRANCE: Reims tonight – this is the makeshift restaurant of the day – around 200 people – no Vax Pass – just the Resistance taking over the street. Free people – isn’t it beautiful? 👊🏻🇫🇷#NonAuPassDeLaHontehttps://t.co/HMOmE36T0B
In the recent Alison Chabloz appeal, the Crown Prosecution Service applied for an absurdly badly-drafted (well, is it a surprise? “Pay peanuts, get monkeys”) Criminal Behaviour Order against Alison. The judge apparently treated that with the contempt it deserved, and refused to make such an order. No doubt the application was suggested in some way by the malicious Jew-Zionists who are behind the whole persecution (and prosecutions) of Alison Chabloz.
