Talking point

As noted on yesterday’s blog, what you get with Matthew Parris is the logical but spiritually-empty argument of the culturally-unattached, atheistic, metro-affluent gay, which Parris is.

If you had to characterize Matthew Parris symbolically, it would be a minimalist painting of an empty room. Something like this:

Very logical, very clear, but not very comfortable or pleasant.

Parris is not always wrong in what he writes, but often is, as in his assisted-dying comment.

Having said that, the ageing of the population is a challenge. We see that the birth-rate in Europe and across Eurasia is dropping to, has already dropped to, below replacement level.

The birth-rate is falling in the European-populated countries (my main concern), but also in almost every other part of the world, except Africa and a few parts of the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia.

The facile, pro-immigration argument is that “Europe is not having enough children to continue its life and economy— bring in immigrants from… [wherever, but Africa and parts of Asia are usually mentioned]”.

That is like saying “the pilot and co-pilot have both had fatal heart attacks— get the cabin crew to fly the plane.” It just does not work, and cannot work.

It may be that via a concatenation of circumstances, the European peoples will quite soon have to start again, to build a new foundation for social and economic life.

It comes to mind that the ultimate reason for the falling birth-rate almost worldwide may be because so many human spirits were, in the past century or more, rushing into incarnation in order to experience the high-water mark of the industrial culture of the 20th/21st centuries. That rush is now at an end. The fact that it is mainly the Africans who are still being born in large numbers may reflect the fact (if it is a fact) that they were last in incarnation very long ago. Speculative, admittedly.

No wonder, then, that the new breed of “Labour” political drones and freeloaders think first of all about how to increase their own physical security. They are afraid of the people they claim to represent. Rachel Reeves. Liz Kendall. Others. All the Labour Friends of Israel MPs.

Good point. Matthew Parris: useless as a Foreign Office trainee, useless as a Conservative Party office bod, useless as Mrs Thatcher’s correspondence secretary, useless as an MP…

“I have had the misfortune to meet many men within the prison system, like the suspected Beckenham attacker, Rakeem Thomas. Young black or ethnic men who have no respect for British values, the police, or white people in general, especially women. They do not fear arrest or prison. While in prison, many continue their criminal activities by selling smuggled drugs, particularly spice.

These men pose a threat to our society, and in London, Mayor Sadiq Khan, a weak and ineffectual man, allows them to wreak havoc, destroying lives and terrorising communities. In 2018, he wanted to reduce stop and search measures. David Lammy often criticises this approach as disproportionately targeting black people, despite higher rates of violent crime committed by Afro-Caribbean and other ethnic groups in London.

Rakeem Thomas pulled a Rambo-style knife on a ticket inspector in December last year, was sentenced to 6 months, and was back on the streets only 12 weeks later. Did he learn? Did the system work for him? Was probation effective in monitoring and protecting those around him? No, shortly after his release, he is arrested for allegedly trying to kill someone. What did they do, ask him the time or look at him in the wrong way?

There are hundreds like him are in prison, awaiting release to resume their destructive behaviour.

Hundreds more free and prowling our streets. Labour proposes leniency for such individuals, avoiding even basic searches. Having lived amongst these people, I can tell you that they are vile, ruthless and dangerous individuals. They are beyond rehabilitation and should be locked up for life. Yet, under Labour’s policies, they seem to be heading, unchecked and protected, to a town near you.

The United Kingdom is turning into a Ununited Hell!“

That is why the old South Africa had “pass laws”, to stop what they called “skollies” from wandering around and committing crimes and trouble generally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_law.

“Iain Duncan Smith says if we vote for Reform, it’s like giving Labour a big win. I like IDS, but he’s telling us something we already know.

The truth is, the Conservatives have left us no choice. They didn’t fight for us or Brexit. They barely got us through COVID in one piece and just gave up on everything we fought for. They should have replaced Sunak with someone who’d really battle for our country. Now, we’re stuck.

If we vote for Reform, it helps Labour destroy Brexit and the country. But staying with the Tories feels like they’ve already given up, and with the rabble we have running it now, we won’t see the UK we all want anyway.

This country is falling apart, the streets are like the wild west, and it’s open season for illegals to come here and bleed the country dry and commit the most horrific crimes.

We know that under Labour, this is just going to get worse; they will pander to them and welcome them with open arms. You may as well burn every Union Jack because the country will be finished. Starmer may be the leader but the hard Left are waiting in the wings, ready to take over.

So, what do we do? It’s a horrible feeling, an unbelievable nightmare that seems absurd given the majority that Boris won. Yes, a vote for Reform is a vote for hope and what we believe in, but it’s giving us Labour.

They cannot win, the Tories, in the state they are in, cannot win. WE cannot win, whatever we do. We will be stuck with a huge majority Labour government for 10-15 years, the UK won’t survive the absurd wokery, anti Britishness and open arms to the masses.

What kind of hell are we subjecting our children and grandchildren to? The simple matter is the Tories have let us down, and now it seems like our Brexit dreams are just slipping away because they didn’t stand strong when it mattered.

There’s still time; there could be a plot twist coming just around the corner, but it will need the true right of the Conservatives to look themselves in the mirror and remember the people of the United Kingdom, who and what we are, what we fought for, and what we expected of them. It will need a handful of actual patriots to stand tall and reunite the whole right of UK politics before it’s too late. If that doesn’t happen, then Brexit and all the freedoms and hope we fought for are dead, regardless of who we vote for. How did they let this happen to our once beautiful country?“

Well, I agree with much of that. Not all. For one thing, Dunce Duncan Smith should be put on trial and receive the just measure of his deeds. Also, Starmer is just a puppet of the Israel lobby; at best useless, at worst a soon-to-be “elected” tyrant.

I now see quite a few tweets from people whose guess is closer to my own, i.e. as few as 50 MPS.

I doubt that most of that relates to the Gaza slaughter as such; probably more to do with the high Israeli (Jewish) losses in the field, and the fact that much of the world now thoroughly despises Israel and its population. That, and the fact that, after nearly six months, the Israelis have still not achieved anything that looks like “victory”, despite their overwhelming firepower, their devastation of urban and residential areas, and the death toll visited upon tens of thousands of Gazan civilians.

“The population of the Gaza Strip has lost more than 97% of its daily average water consumption, which previously did not meet the WHO recommended minimum. Now the average resident of the Gaza Strip no longer consumes 3 liters of water per day, as it was in November last year, but just under a liter, which is more than 7 times lower.”

The Kiev regime can mount attacks on bridges, railway lines, or even concert venues (using proxy terrorists) but, on the other side, Russian forces are destroying what is left of the Ukraine’s electricity generation and supply system, as well as slowly but surely grinding down the ever more sparse Kiev-regime forces in the field.

“Russian forces continue to advance on the Ukrainian battlefield despite muddy roads , former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Dialogue Works”.

If you look at what is happening right now, I think the offensive has already started. They are making progress, he said. Russian forces continue offensive operations, even despite muddy roads, while Western tanks in Ukraine get stuck in the mud. Ukrainian troops are constantly withdrawing, Johnson concluded.“

“Hundreds of kilometers of fortifications and several defense rings were built around Kyiv.

“In a year this is about 1000 km of fortifications, three rings of defense of Kyiv. The Chernobyl direction has been greatly strengthened. Long-term concrete fortifications are already being built. We did everything to ensure that there were no options for a sudden enemy entry,” said Ground Forces Commander Alexander Pavlyuk.“

If Kiev becomes a bastion, almost impenetrable, the advancing Russian forces may either bypass the region, or simply reduce Kiev by means of air power.

Whatever the outcome of that, it seems clear that the Kiev-regime forces are expecting a large-scale Russian advance in 2024-2025, an advance which they have, and will have, no means of countering.
