“Thought for the day”
We are not just facing opposing “ideas” or “policies”, and are not just speaking up for what is right, and/or as a contrary social or political bloc. We are facing new forms of Evil in much of the world, especially the advanced “Western” world. Evil must, eventually, be vanquished directly. That time will come. A titanic battle for race, culture, and civilization.
What an earlier age termed a “holy war”.

Looks like San Francisco is even more of a jungle now than was portrayed in The Streets of San Francisco.
I have never been there, though I knew a few people who did visit, and who liked it, but that was then… 1970s and 1980s.
“So far this year there have been 39 murders in the city. The San Francisco Police Department is currently experiencing a shortage of 541 officers.
Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was among a host of tech leaders hitting out at the lawlessness in the wake of Lee’s slaying, writing on Twitter: ‘Many people I know have been severely assaulted.
‘Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.’
Locals told DailyMail.com they blamed the ‘soft-on-crime’ progressive policies brought in by the likes of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was tossed from office in a recall election last year.
‘It’s too liberal. Too much. And we’re paying for it,’ said one. ‘Repeat offenders are back out on the streets in a heartbeat and there’s nothing we can do about it. We’re scared.’
[Daily Mail].
So who is that former District Attorney whose policies seem to have led to the present chaos? Here he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin:
“Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents.[9]
His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members. When Boudin was 14 months old, both were arrested and convicted of murder for their role as getaway car drivers in the 1981 Brink’s robbery in Rockland County, New York.[10] His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.[11][12]
After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Hyde Park, Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.[13] Boudin reports that he did not learn to read until age nine.[14] Kathy Boudin was released under parole supervision in 2003.[15][16] Gilbert was released in 2021.[17]
Boudin descends from a long left-wing lineage. His great-grand-uncle, Louis B. Boudin,[18] was a Marxist theoretician and author of a two-volume history of the Supreme Court‘s influence on American government, and his grandfather Leonard Boudin was an attorney who represented controversial clients, such as Fidel Castro and Paul Robeson.[19] His uncle Michael Boudin[18] was a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and his grand-uncle Isidor Feinstein Stone (“I. F. Stone”) was an independent progressive journalist.”

Well, who would have thought it?
Incidentally, “Bernardine Dohrn was born Bernardine Ohrnstein in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1942, and grew up in Whitefish Bay, an upper-middle-class suburb of Milwaukee.[1] Her father, Bernard D. Ohrnstein, changed the family surname to Dohrn (his middle initial plus the first letters of his last name) when Bernardine was in high school.[2]
Her father was Jewish, although the name change was intended to obscure that.”

Is London not going the same way as San Francisco?

Seems to be a really good cause.
It occurs to me that there should be at least a basic “NHS for animals”.
Zelensky, the Jew dictator in Kiev, is blowing out hot air rather than a realistic possibility. There is no prospect of Ukrainian/Kiev regime forces reaching the borders of the Crimean Peninsula.

Yet no less than 458 utter mugs, as of today, are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of several thousand pounds every single month via Patreon. Why that should be, I have no idea, though quite a few people tweeting in her favour (the ones who are not “Jack Monroe” herself using “sock accounts”) seem either not terribly intelligent, or seem to be mentally…er…odd.
Looking beyond the exact pictures shown, certainly largely true of the past couple of thousand years; however, equally obviously, looking at the central caption, there are exceptions in various parts of the world, mainly in east and south Asia.
All the same, true overall, as well as re. the pictures shown.
Interesting historical sidelight

“Just before my father died he told me a story of his time in france serving with
A squadren 1st sas. The same story was told to me after his death by one of his old mates who was with him at the time. Their job in france was to sabotage transport, communications, weapons. etc. in the day time they would live in the forests. Making their way back from a hard night blowing things up, they came across a group of french resistance soldiers who had captured a young German soldier. The German was very frightened, he begged the sas to take him with them as he said the french were going to make him dig his own grave and shoot him. One of the sas men said joking, lucky they don’t shoot you then make you dig your grave. The French weren’t very happy when the sas took him but they did. They told him that if he tried to escape the French would kill him. Every night the sas would go out and do their job and when they got back the German would have a brew waiting,as he was happy to be alive. When they flew back home they took the German with them. They had done their job and saved the life of a young German soldier. My dad’s friend also told me that the German soldier had attended an sas reunion many years later. This breed of soldier is fast dying out. I hope these stories will live on lest we forget them.”

Stopping the invaders from invading would require firm political leadership, powerful armed forces and the willingness to use them, and both political and naval/military leaders who really love England and are going to fight to stop it being trashed further. None of that exists at present.
In fact, looking at this country now, it is almost a hollow space, without real content. Look at any major aspect— police, MPs and fake “peers”, legal system, msm, NHS.
