Sliding standards in “diverse” Britain
“Students with A-level grades as low as three Es are being enrolled at universities to hit Government diversity targets, data reveals.
Figures from admissions body UCAS show many top universities…are accepting severely underperforming students in a bid to fulfil equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) targets.
The practice has become widespread across the sector after the Government-sponsored Office for Students (OfS) regulator urged universities to be more ‘ambitious’ in ‘reducing inequality’.
Typically, universities let in students with lower grades – making a ‘contextual offer’ – if they reveal on their UCAS form that they suffered disadvantage. A handful also take into account race or gender.“

This is how standards across the board in society start to slide. Not dramatically. Gradually. A gradual acceptance of the inferior. You see it everywhere now. Academia, including both universities and schools. The Bar. The Church of England. MPs (of all parties in Parliament). “Journalism” (newspaper scribbling). Administration generally, both public and private.
Denmark, a sick society
“When Pernille Sohl was faced with the upsetting and difficult decision of what to do with her daughter’s ailing pony, she could’ve taken it to the vet.
But instead, the Danish mother decided to travel to the local zoo to be fed to the lions.
The 44-year-old took the pony along to northern Denmark’s Aalborg Zoo, one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, to dispose of the family pet.”
[Daily Mail]
Whatever the logical justifications, that strikes me as cold and sick.
Incidentally (and, today, typically), the Mail’s report is only semi-literate. Look at the second paragraph/sentence for further proof, if more were needed, that the 20-something scribblers now called “journalists” cannot write English properly. That sentence makes it seem that the woman decided to go to the zoo to feed herself to the lions!
Britain 2025
“Police have been condemned for seeing a father at home to ‘warn’ him about attending a protest against illegal migrants – despite one officer apologetically admitting that the visit was ‘b*******’.
Two West Midlands Police officers visited the man in Coventry to hand him a leaflet about ‘correct’ behaviour expected at public demonstrations.
But one is in trouble after door-cam footage recorded him calling the visit ‘b*******’ and adding: ‘It’s not something I agree with, but I’ve been asked to do it.’
The officer says he has been sent to give him a leaflet. He adds, laughing: ‘It sounds daft, so I apologise, and it’s really woeful. It’s not something I agree with but I’ve been asked to do it.’
[Daily Mail]
That is akin to what happened to me about a year ago. A uniformed policeman came to my door and confronted me with a print-out of some alleged tweets, while explaining that there was “no need to worry” because the matter had already been “NFA’d” [“No Further Action”].
The tweets were not very literate, very much not similar to my own writing style, and seemed to be a criticism of someone (as far as I could see, unnamed).
The policeman would not let me examine the alleged tweets in detail once I had explained to him, in terms, that I had once had a Twitter account but that Jews had had me expelled in 2018, and that the last time I had tweeted anything was therefore in 2018. In other words, the alleged tweets could not have been from me.
I presumed at the time that that incident had been triggered by yet another false accusation or complaint by some Jew, as has happened to me several times over the past decade or so. I still think so, but heard no more from the police about it.
So that policeman had completely wasted his time coming to see me about alleged tweets which were anyway obviously not unlawful (and therefore had been binned as requiring No Further Action by the police). So why even talk to me?
Incidentally, I was unable to see my name anywhere on that document, in the brief seconds when I looked at it. I have no idea why the police even thought that it had anything to do with me (assuming that they did in fact think that).

It is hard to overestimate the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on American domestic architecture in particular. I once had a girlfriend in Tampa, Florida, who lived only one or two roads away from one of his more ordinary houses built for private clients.
Zelensky is only a player in the war because entirely propped-up by American, UK, and EU money, arms, ammunition, medical supplies etc. A puppet, albeit a loud and unpleasant one.
Do not prod the Bear…
[“Polish political scientist Wilomski on how Ukraine cannot even play to a draw with Russia: Great Britain, France, Germany and Ukraine have presented an alternative plan to Putin and Trump to end the war. If I had not regularly followed the news from the front, I would have concluded from this plan that Ukraine, if not winning, would at least play to a draw. This is completely unrealistic, a distortion of reality, a utopia and a dream. I believe that Trump should ignore Western leaders and make peace with Putin, ignoring the unrealistic European living room.“]
[“Zelensky will do everything to prevent a peaceful resolution of the conflict “He does this because he profits from the conflict and justifies the absence of elections with military actions. The USA needs to understand – a change of power in Ukraine through elections is necessary”, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky.
He believes that the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Finland, as well as the leadership of the European Commission, are once again trying to disrupt the peace process. “Globalists demonstrate negative subjectivity: they do not know how to build their own, but they destroy others’ peace efforts”, he added.“]
We must step back from a devastating conflict that might take our civilization back tens of thousands of years. The firtst thing to do is to cut of arms, ammunition, and money from the Zelensky regime.
Genuine humanitarian aid to Ukrainian families is acceptable, despite the fact that it also, to some extent, helps the Kiev-regime war effort. Humane behaviour needs to survive in war.

A few examples of tweets about the dishonesty and incompetence of “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
In fact, Lewis seems to visit the UK quite often, despite what he describes as the prevalent “antisemitism” here. It must be that the “antisemitism” does not stick to banknotes.

You can see in that Scandinavian Airlines System [SAS] TV ad that the destruction of people feeling good about themselves, their history, their culture, is not confined to Britain, France, Germany, but is still being pushed in Sweden, Denmark etc. Who is behind it, ultimately? Three guesses (“them”)…

Thus we see the constant pro-immigration propaganda across Europe.
People are fighting back in various ways, sometimes via political parties and elections, sometimes via direct action, and even on the individual level, as we saw in Norway quite a few years ago.
Maybe, but Reform is currently running somewhere between 28% and 34%. That is really all it needs to triumph, in the absence of one really strong opposing party. At present, the Labour Party is running between 22% and 25%, while the once-great Conservative Party languishes somewhere below 20%, most recently 15%.
It may well be that the younger voters, the teens and twenty-somethings, will not much favour Reform, overall, but many of that age group do not vote, a trend likely to stay in place while the System parties are so uninspiring or even despised.
If Reform has a ceiling of 35% or even 30% (and we do not know as yet whether that will prove to be the case), that will probably still be enough to give Reform a Commons majority, looking at where the other main/System parties are.
It seems to me unlikely that the Conservative Party can ever recover, because its demographic and ideological bases are eroding daily. To get from 15%-19% public support, where it now is, to the —at lowest— 28% which might give it a Commons majority, is unlikely. Indeed, under Nigerian chancer Kemi Badenoch, its share of potential general election votes seems more likely to decline than to increase.
As to Labour, despised, held in contempt by many, but with support still from the ethnic minority blocs, and from the public service employees, particularly NHS people, who alone number in the hundreds of thousands:
“England’s NHS is the largest employer in Europe, with one in every 25 adults in England working for the NHS.[46] Nursing staff accounted for the largest cohort at more than 330,000 employees, followed by clinical support staff at 290,000, scientific and technical staff at 163,000 and physicians at 133,000.” [Wikipedia]
That is the NHS in England, i.e. excluding Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.
A significant voting bloc, and mostly voting Labour.
Labour is currently running at public support of around 20%-25%, but might be able to recover to 30% or higher, in principle. It won the 2024 General Election on only 33.7%, so the devil is, as it often is, very much in the detail.
If both Labour and Reform were around 30%, then both would probably end up with 250-300 seats. Hung Parliament.
At present, though, Reform is still the only game in town, and the others are scrabbling to catch up in a societal situation where nothing seems to be improving for the voters.
Starmer-stein, a little man trying to play it big on the world stage. Meanwhile, the UK is gradually collapsing.
To my mind, it is not whether some form of untidy, messy social/civil/racial/cultural war will break out in the UK, but when, and what form or forms that conflict might take.
The Kiev regime is losing, effectively has lost, on the battlefield, but the BBC, Sky News etc are still feeding their viewers rubbish from paid pseudo-experts (in Kiev, London, Washington) who are still pushing the line that it is Russia that is losing and cannot continue.
I hope that Russia continues until it has occupied all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

All of the Middle East should be subject to a supervening imperium, preferably European.
Had the Second World War not ended so disastrously, the current events would never have happened.

People should not forget that it was concerted pressure by the UK-resident Jewish/Israel lobby that triggered this clampdown on free speech. So what else is new?
