Talking point

I notice that one of my very early blog posts, from 2017, has had a few hits. I just re-read it; perhaps worth republishing it today:

The Right Attitude to Race and Culture

Saturday quiz

Well, an unusual week, in which political journalist John Rentoul did better than me. Rentoul scored 4/10, but my very disappointing result was a mere 2/10. I knew the answers to questions 4 and 6.

Disagree. Yes, Reform is underwhelming, and the Greens are indeed loonie, but the existing System parties deserve to be smashed and destroyed. Until they are, nothing better can emerge.

Local elections in the UK are yet another System stitch-up, deliberately staggered in different years so that each System party is likely to get a piece of the pie, continuously.

All elections, national and local, should be held on the same day and in the same month and year.

Incidentally, that would mean that all elected authorities, and central government, would be on the same page.

The Jewish-lobby influence on and in Reform weakens it hugely, and will (as probably is the plan anyway), eventually kill it whether it gets into government or not.

1945 was a year of disaster, and was followed by the also-disastrous year 1948, when the Jewish state of Israel was established, and the land of Palestine partly “ethnically-cleansed” and then repopulated by the sweepings of the ghettos, prisons, and labour camps of old Europe.

Tim Stanley is one example of a type of person that has come to prominence over recent decades: usually a so-so minor academic, with System party (usually Con Party) connections, always scribbling rubbish in the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph or Spectator etc, and/or being an msm TV/radio talking-head. Also, almost invariably pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel.

Douglas Murray is another one.

Slightly further back in time there was Andrew Roberts (now elevated to the House of Lords, thanks to “Boris”-idiot). His father owned Job’s Dairy and the UK part of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I am unsure as to whether I agree with her first point, but Seldon is certainly erudite, and surely correct in his highlighted contention(s).

The General’s first assertion is right, the second not quite right. The UK must leave NATO, cultivate friendly though independent relations with Russia (which really wants that from us), and stand with Russia and all true Europeans against Islamism, Zionism, and non-European migration-invasion.

Russia will give us cost-price fuel, maybe even free fuel, and will provide a massive market for British goods, services, and expertise.

Those people should be on our side, and really want to be on our side.

Well worth reading.

The panicdemic/scamdemic and the associated supposed “vaccines” are, combined, so big a lie, so great a scandal, that even now many people cannot accept the truth; the same applies to the associated stupidities—facemask-muzzling, “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six” (that absurdity only seen in England, and invented by “Boris”-idiot and little Matt Hancock) etc. The same goes for the ongoing economic consequences of the overall scam.

Even now, you still see the occasional loonie or idiot, usually middle-aged or elderly, wearing a facemask. I saw one today in a supermarket. I am sure that her health is hugely improved by wearing some ancient, filthy bit of cloth over her mouth and nose for years…

That loonie looked a bit like the one in the first cartoon below:

Er, no. NO. NO!

The “first small boat since [etc]” has NOT arrived in the UK. Use your eyes, “Politics UK”.

The migrant-invaders have just been ferried in by the Border Force (Border Farce). This is a deliberate and planned conspiracy to flood the UK and other countries with non-Europeans. Google “Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan” (though Jews and others have vandalized the Wikipedia article).

There comes a time when fair liberty becomes ugly licence, when “diversity” becomes the swamping of a culture, when reasonable tolerance becomes weak acceptance of wickedness and evil, and when “decency” no longer has meaning.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.“

[Matthew 7:6]

Starmer cannot see what is staring more and more people in the face about the state of this country and its direction of travel (straight down); he is also entirely without self-consciousness, even by System-drone political standards. He’s going down, and Labour will go down with him (or without him).

I have always tried to be fair to the former Prince Charles, now King, but he recently agreed to become a patron of the “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the Jew-Zionist snoop-and-strongarm organization.

As far as I am concerned, Charles has cancelled himself.

Incidentally, I should not be surprised to see Trump pardon Ghislaine Maxwell at the end of his term of office. The Israelis may “request” it, covertly of course.

Translates to a Commons with about 360 Reform MPs (very solid majority), 63 LibDems (extremely weak official Opposition), 62 Greens, 48 Lab, 45 Cons, 44 SNP [etc].

You can see why the Jew/Zionist/Israel lobby has been scrabbling to influence or take over Reform UK— they think, with reason, that Reform will probably form the next government, maybe self-standing, maybe with Con support; of course, on the figures shown above, Reform would need no support.

Incidentally, once again (as shown in all recent polls, for several months) Starmer-stein would lose his own seat.

Very nice idea (but you do occasionally see that in the UK as well).

That tweeter “@ShaneDollards” has it right: yes, most voters despise and distrust Starmer-stein, but they also despise and indeed hate Labour itself (and, not much less, the fake “Conservatives”). Labour MPs should read the room…and the polls.

Fake News, Fake History and Fake Memories: the UK in the 1970s etc

11 Comments

The Story

“I went to school on the train endless strikes waiting on cold platforms for hours. Then returned home to a house with power cuts no heating hot food it was a nightmare for at least 10 years“— who can guess on what the lady I quote was, in a semi-literate fashion, commenting? The Second World War? Surely not: that only lasted for 6 years. The Siege of Leningrad? No, that lasted for a shorter period yet— 2 years, 4 months. What, then? In fact the lady in question was commenting, in the online Daily Mail, on the UK railways and, in the wider sense, on the UK generally in the 1970s.

Well, it certainly sounds like it was awful. The problem with that, though, is that it is in fact not true. The trains in England (where I lived; Wales and Scotland were similar) were not subject to “endless” strikes (though there were certainly far more than is now the case) and the station platforms were no colder than they are now. What about “power cuts”, “no heating [or] hot food”?

The Reality

The “Three Day Week” only lasted for 3 months (January-March 1974) and only commercial users of electricity were cut off or required to cease using electrical power. Most domestic users were unaffected. Newspaper printing, supermarkets and hospitals were also exempt. In other words, if the lady quoted at top is not simply making up her story of hardship (or failing to remember accurately), the reasons must lie elsewhere. Maybe her parents failed to pay their electricity bill! Only joking…In fact, two years before that, there had been announced (on 16 February 1972) a rolling programme of area outages (including domestic users) but peace broke out 2-3 days later (midday on 19 February 1972) so, again, few domestic users were affected, though a minority had seen limited outages earlier, in early February.

There was, also, the “Winter of Discontent”, which occurred in the winter of 1978-79, but in fact (in its acute phase) was only effective in January and early February 1979. In reality, we are talking about weeks rather than months. Neither domestic nor commercial users of electricity lost power; gas and coal users were likewise unaffected.

So there we have it: the lady commenting on these matters at top seems to be a victim of selective amnesia when she regards a decade of her childhood as having been an awful ten years without rail travel, heating, lighting etc. The “decade” in question turns out to have been affected for about 2-4 months out of 120…

In fact, the amnesiac lady is not alone. Time and again we read about how the UK spent much of the 1970s in the dark, in the cold, without public transport, without food, rubbish uncollected and dead bodies unburied. It’s nonsense, but many really believe it, even those who were there, which is worrying…I should add that I myself was there, having been born in 1956; by the way, those “dead bodies unburied” did exist briefly (for a few days) in the winter of 1978-79, but only in two or three small areas of Liverpool and Manchester. Less noxious rubbish did pile up, but not for very long and not everywhere.

This fake history, that the 1970s were a decade of “socialist” chaos and dislocation, is quite entrenched now. This canard has wings! The various “Conservative” newspapers in the UK repeat it as an article of faith.

Other Fake Memories

No, I am not going to blog, here anyway, about the “holocaust” scammers and delusionals. I want to focus on a few other things. One persistent idea (which I have even seen said and written by journalists and TV talking heads older than me) is that Britain had no decent food until about 20 years ago! It’s just nonsense! Another is that life was harder for people in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s than it now is. More nonsense. In, say, the 1970s, people mostly had secure jobs, which paid enough to live on; there were no such things as foodbanks; social security was far better overall, the disabled and unemployed were not bullied by DWP jobsworths; the mass immigration which is making the UK (especially parts of England) into a human zoo had not really begun to snowball; workers had fixed hours, which included decent lunch breaks of 1 hour (often interpreted generously); there was no such thing (for most employees) as being on call after hours, in the evenings or on weekends and holidays. In addition, it was far easier (for anyone qualified) to access higher education.

Conclusion

There is a wave of unreality around. I have a –perhaps idiosyncratic– theory that the various kinds of lies or lying fake “facts” that people are often now expected to believe (“holocaust” fakery, the idea that races and peoples are all somehow “equal”, the idea that National Socialism was “evil” etc) have affected the general sense of truth in society, so that many cannot detect lies, and indeed often lie to themselves as well as others about recent history and even about their own experiences.
