Pretty poor, as with previous alumni matches this Christmas. I did far better than either team. Amazing how ignorant many of these “respected commentators”, TV journalists, novelists etc, are.
Or maybe, lockdown and stupid tier restrictions don't bloody work. Repeat the same exercise get the same result. Virus is gonna virus like they have for thousands of years. And yet humanity still exists.
With this and wailing about overwhelmed hospitals while admissions are at a 5 year low & the #NightingaleHospitals are being dismantled, even the most gullible sheeple should begin to see it's all about money for cronies & power.https://t.co/gwu1tjW9Xh
Yes,we're all very touched @michaelrosenyes by your profound concern for the detailed planning of a sensible policy that (alas) is not even being tried, contrasted with your passive acceptance of the mad strangulation of our society,economy, NHS and schools. Which is happening. https://t.co/LBKdBDEHgP
It is very strange that all or virtually all the Twitter accounts of Jews, that I have seen, are very much pro-“lockdown”, the facemask nonsense etc, just as they are for censorship, and the prohibition of “unapproved” opinion. I do not know why that should be, unless it is something ingrained…
BBC R4 this morning played a recording of FDR's great pronouncement 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself' . How odd it sounded on a BBC that promotes fear 20 times a day, under the rule of a government that openly uses fear to obtain compliance.
1/2 @quaintpondering. You *presume* that the problem requires a vast, centralised Chinese-style response rather than the individual exercise of choice, initiative and experience which is normal in a free society. Why? https://t.co/eInNc36Wri
Conservatism is a communitarian political ideology.
It values the bonds of community and seeks ways to nurture and protect them.
This does not necessarily require that the state protect and promote communities, but it often does when rampant market forces threaten them. pic.twitter.com/GavTrwpoNE
Instead of getting a grip on out-of-control immigration, the government is OPENING a range of uncapped visa routes, even for people from around the world to go into the lowest-paid jobs as youth unemployment rises… 😳
The present UK Government is a Jewish-lobby, finance-capitalist cabal. On that premise, the importation of millions more unwanted migrant-invaders is almost guaranteed…
What’s the point of taking back control of immigration if we don’t reduce it?https://t.co/mbZmW3nfxg
ahhh, comedians going after the very thing that made them rich. Like Sacha Baron Cohen, once they achieved their goal they turn their backs on free speech and free expression. Exploiting the system until they cannot longer benefit from it. Then acting holier than thou https://t.co/xqml1NxaRO

Ah, Cohen…I wonder what kind of “person” that is?…
Britain, 2020…
Along the same lines, I was watching the TV game show Only Connect [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_Connect] yesterday. At one point, a clue involved the Shakespeare play The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and the accompanying picture showed two blacks!
Something to look forward to: German Chancellor Angela Merkel's reign will end in 2021, after 16 disastrous years.
The Christian Democrat leader has done more damage to Europe than anyone since her WWII predecessor. Hard to exaggerate how awful she's been.
And nowhere has her misrule been more damaging than in Germany itself.
In a nutshell…(see below):
Neoliberal ideology assumes that with the demolition of trade barriers & the encouragement of global economic integration, economic benefits will accrue to all in the world economy.
They are conspicuously silent on how to ensure that these benefits get fairly distributed. pic.twitter.com/Jbx3frU0ih
“The head of the WHO emergencies program, Dr Mike Ryan, said: “The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus that will remain somewhat of a threat, but a very low-level threat in the context of an effective global vaccination program.“
Went to Waitrose. Slightly busier than usual in the evenings. Still a black-clad and mask-wearing Handmaid’s Tale militiaman stationed by the entrance, presumably to deter non-wearers of facemasks.
Later, watched this evening’s alumni match of University Challenge, this time the Courtauld Institute against St. John’s, Oxford. Once again, both teams not much good, in fact downright poor. I certainly did better than both. An Indian woman called, I think, Ghoswami, was notably poor (she thought that Baku might be the most northerly major city of China, among other hopeless answers!); as for the other team, a Jewish woman called Klein knew almost nothing, though admittedly she did correctly identify a painting by Veronese which I thought was probably by Raphael.
"Public Order" offence. Has there ever been a more deliberately ambiguous and catch-all law? They can literally arrest you for anything they like under this and lockdown has opened the floodgates.
While I myself am not a member or, as such, “supporter” of “Patriotic Alternative”, I feel that these mostly young people are basically on the right lines. A political party is one route, setting up community or communities is another; there are other ways too. Those routes are not opposed to each other but complementary, like the fronts in a major military campaign or war.
Sweden is an object-lesson: liberalistic tendencies encouraged for decades, initially with, at least arguably, some positive results, but eventually a downward spiral into empty “toleration” of every kind of degeneracy.
Then the Jewish element and influence, already there but muted by reason of the formerly traditional and nationalistic Swedish society, grew. The notorious Barbara Lerner Spectre and (((similar))) arrived, bringing the taint of evil with them.
Finally the combination of Jewish influence and longstanding Swedish liberalism brought about the disastrous equivalent of the “refugees welcome” ideas so prevalent in the UK. Migration-invasion. The untermenschen flooded in from all parts of Africa and Asia. You see the results…(and yes, both the Swedish authorities and the Daily Mail prefer not to notice the immigration aspect of the crime written about above).
[Note the frequent and (((typical))) humourless “smiling for no reason” rictus]
Germany too…
“Angela Merkel said she would ‘make essentially the same decisions’ when a journalist questioned whether she regrets opening the German border to migrants in 2015.” [Daily Mail]
I am also told that, 'based on best case scenario for a false positive rate in the PCR test of 0.5%, if 100,000 people in Oxford were tested this weekend, 500 healthy people could test positive and they would all be false. On this basis, Oxford would be shut down.' Absurd. https://t.co/15Doz4kMXR
Any idea why people have such trouble understanding proportionality?
In 2003, for instance, the number of 0-16 year-olds killed by a respiratory illness (eg Influenza) was 182. Did we close the country down? Were we eugenicist for failing to do so? https://t.co/gmMAzW9BYv
This Coronavirus panic and madness just gets worse. People who feel and basically are well and healthy, or have minor and temporary symptoms such as a sore throat, are tested, and if positive in more than a few cases, are presented in the msm as “an outbreak” of “the virus”, and a whole city is then shut down! It’s just crazy.
The supposed “government” of this poor country is on a mad ride through the darkening world, shutting down cities, making the compliant (so far compliant…) population wear facemasks or muzzles. Meanwhile, and as a direct result, millions are and millions more will be unemployed, shops and chains of shops are shutting down, not (this time) by government order, but because they are insolvent, again a direct result of misguided and in fact mad policies of Boris-idiot and his clowns in Cabinet.
London and other cities are little better than ghost towns, and until this mad Coronavirus panic ends, will be.
The stupid thing is that no-one or virtually no-one is now dying from “the virus”. The decline in deaths has been steady from early April 2020 to now, when it has reached zero. Nearly 5 months of uninterrupted decline, during all of which time except the past month no-one was wearing facemasks except a few of the mentally unstable.
'Oxford on 'amber alert' after rise in coronavirus cases'… from virtually none to almost none, and *no* information on how many of these are actually ill. And now, as in Leicester they set up a new test centre to find more. https://t.co/ZwkHmRT1cn
The economy of my home town, Oxford, has been devastated by the panic measures imposed by our teenage government. Now, a faltering recovery is threatened by a tiny rise in tiny figures for so-called 'cases' of Covid, when we do not even know if any of them are actually ill.
Yes, that's about it, I think @jimkyle90. And where are the elected councillors, or indeed voices in the Oxford local media, prepared to criticise or examine this? I have seen and heard none. We have all the features of a one-party state, except the name. https://t.co/gsGI7k0XcS
Sadly, the mentally-unstable, who exist (it often seems) in hugely greater numbers than heretofore, have been triggered by the “virus” and subsequent facemask nonsense, and have found a spurious cause upon which to latch, and so be able to express their malice while pretending to be virtuous and altruistic citizens. See, for example, my encounter with a Waitrose cashier (in yesterday’s blog post); or read the tweet by one “@fakevexorian”, below:
Alas, there do seem to be people who genuinely believe this sort of thing @fakevexorian. The government propagandists who have brought this hysteria into being have much on their consciences. Meanwhile I am sorry for you, if you actually mean what you say. https://t.co/6qOXOiv9Tv
Exactly what one hears from elsewhere. Her neighbour has been too scared (by Boris-idiot and his clowns, and his surprisingly stupid scientific advisers, and the toytown police state, and the busybodies) to go out from his home…for months!
David Icke spotted in the crowd. Thanks to a follower for sending me views closer to the speakers.. pic.twitter.com/F0m65MndP7
What David Icke is saying in that brief clip is correct. There is an agenda being pursued, and it encompasses, along with many other things, the “Coronavirus” “laws” (not laws, just secondary legislation created via abuse of law) and “rules” (invalid legally: see preceding point), the governmental reaction and behaviour across the world, not only in the UK, and it may even encompass the “Coronavirus” itself, meaning in the way that it suddenly appeared not only in China but also almost (?) simultaneously in Europe.
As soon as the news media went mad over “the virus”, there was —immediately— a spate of “virus”, “pandemic” sci-fi movies, drama films and documentaries on UK television. Every day. This was surely no co-incidence.
The various oppressive measures such as the facemask nonsense (in the UK only mandated long after the virus itself had peaked and in fact when the traces of the virus were disappearing, along with the seriously affected —few— patients), are all part of a “control” agenda.
Another aspect is the “Black Lives Matter” campaign. I don’t mean the petty if unpleasant manifestations by the blacks themselves and the “antifa” “useful idiots” (American cities burning, British statues toppled). I mean the actions of those with real economic, political, cultural power.
That has all revved up. “Ordinary people” have started to notice that white people are being marginalized in TV ads, soaps, dramas, films etc. That despite the fact that about 87%, officially, of the UK population, is still composed of white (ie Northern European) people (it was 92% in 2001, though, only 19 years ago); even in England it is still maybe 80%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom#Ethnic_groups;
[proportion of non-whites in the UK]
Yet you can see that almost every TV ad contains “blacks and browns” (etc), as do TV dramas, including those set in the England of the 1960s, 1950s, even 1940s! The aim is obvious: to say to the viewers, many of whom were born after 1970, “look, see, there were always blacks and others here, even in the 1950s, even in small villages in Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire etc“…
When members of the public call radio talk programmes to complain about all this, they are either laughed at, or put down, or simply not allowed to put forward their concerns.
The same is true of the (((controlled))) newspapers, even the ones that amount to “controlled opposition”, such as the Daily Mail. Many no longer have “readers’ comments” pages; or such pages are “moderated” (politically monitored and censored).
This (above) is all part of the so-called Great Replacement, which amounts to gradual genocide of white and especially white Northern European people in this world. The World Economic Forum [WEF] calls it, quite openly now, the “Great Reset”. The WEF openly welcomes “the virus” as a means to attaining that goal (look at their Twitter output).
Look what happened when the wave of “BLM” protests broke, a few months ago. Immediately, on UK TV (and around the world in the “white countries”), there were ads supporting “Black Lives Matter”. Who paid? Sky, ITV, Channel 4, large companies, transnational companies.
Openly proclaimed by President George Bush snr. in 1991 at the time of the first Gulf War, it was first publicly proclaimed as an ideal by President Woodrow Wilson during the aftermath of the First World War. President Franklin D. Roosevelt also referred to it in 1940, at a time when he was planning to get the USA involved in the war against the German Reich.
You see the way it works, the way in which the NWO needs war in order to advance its wider interests. Not American interests, but NWO interests which are embedded, however, in the USA, in its power structures, in its “Deep State” etc.
We are now looking at the next world war. Maybe only a couple of years away.
More tweets seen
Here, a tweeter seems to like this very blog post, only put online a few hours ago!
This is the real cost of the futile “lockdown” (shutdown). The NHS staff protected from getting Coronavirus, but the price includes the lives of tens of thousands of NHS patients, untreated and even undiagnosed with serious medical problems.
Ha ha! The tweet below from “John Urquhart/@TheDryhtscipe” made me laugh: “I have no interest in interacting with racist fucking scum“, says he, under the banner of…the “Harmony Party UK”! Some people have so little self-awareness that it is hilarious!
You think we should be thanking Sir Keir Starmer whose reckless Brexit policy lost Labour 52 Leave-voting seats and helped enable Boris Johnson's 80-seat majority?
BBC needs to refocus as public continues to lose patience after Proms row
BBC ranks 178th in a list of the most popular brands in Britain and the Proms debacle has further frustrated viewers with odd decisions and getting caught up in needless side-showshttps://t.co/1zhEB9DGyg
Nick Griffin is right. BBC News reported that (only) “hundreds attended” and used a clip of film obviously taken after many had already left for home or wherever. The BBC is a lying System mouthpiece.
This crowds of many thousands [below] is what the BBC called “hundreds“…
I’m here at Trafalgar Square reporting on the protest against extending the Covid emergency measures, which will be reviewed by Parliament next month. Massive crowd and the police so far are simply observing. pic.twitter.com/1lDwUwvuMw
Yes, but this was a wholly illegitimate use of delegated legislation, creating powers never envisaged in the 1984 PH Act on which it was based. A decent Parliament, and proper courts, would have thrown it out. Law cannot be made lawlessly. https://t.co/Nylws5XXws
…which is why (as with the “lockdown”), all cases of persons charged with not wearing a facemask, all cases that actually come to court (as far as I know, none, yet…) will fail at court, or fall at appeal level, if anyone is ever actually brought to court on such a charge.
What is happening is that the government of clowns has brought in regulations that are mere secondary legislation, and under primary legislation never intended or drafted to be used for such a purpose. Invalid “law”, in short. Banana republic law. Fake law. Its purpose is to bully the population in conjunction with the scare propaganda about “the virus”.
Why @OxfordLordMayor? HM government itself has said that 'the evdence of the benefit of wearing a face coveringto protect others is weak and the effect is likely to be small' Plus, remember that many are exempt. https://t.co/N3WrY7RkC8
Interesting @mightybronan.I'm amazed at the way people can't see through the obsession with testing. It in no way diminishes the incidence of the virus. It detects cases with no symptoms. But it is then used as a pretext to maintain and deepen the panic. Its actual purpose. https://t.co/uxYGC1PtwS
Discrimination against English people is OK; but discrimination against blacks, browns, Jews etc is not OK….in this sick degenerate society
“Race row after leading private schools turn down donor’s £1m offer to help poor white boys”
“Sir Bryan said: “If Cambridge University can accept a much larger donation in support of black students, why cannot I do the same for underprivileged white British?”
Listening to Farming Today on BBC Radio 4. Lawless bands engaging in illegal hare coursing. All or almost all is done by Irish tinker “traveller” riff raff, aka “gypsies”, but the BBC will not, of course, permit those words to be used. The BBC interviews farmers in the Fen country about this criminal nuisance, but either the farmers do not dare to designate the criminals or the BBC does not permit them to do so. This gives a false picture.
It is as if these hare coursing criminals have come from outer space, as far as the BBC is concerned. No question is put on air as to who or what these “people” are; just “hare coursers”… who arrive in 4WD cars, do illegal hare coursing, bet on it, film it. But they are not “travellers”, “gypsies”, “tinkers”…oh no…BBC, police, even the victims say “No Sir, we’re not “racist”…” As Americans say, “what a crock”!
Meanwhile…
“Fewer than one in 100 alleged hate crimes investigated by the UK’s first dedicated police unit have resulted in a charge, as experts say £1.7 million would have been better spent fighting violent crime.
Just 17 cases, or 0.92 per cent of the 1,851 incidents logged by the UK’s first online hate crime hub have led to charges.
Only seven of those charges resulted in a prosecution, meaning that under one in 200 proceeded to court. Three cases were pending a Crown Prosecution (CPS) charging decision, according to the figures obtained under Freedom of Information laws by the Press Association.” [Daily Telegraph]
Ha ha!…and of those remaining 7-10 cases, most probably ended in acquittal.
Greta Thunberg (again)
Incredibly, BBC Radio 4 Today Programme, the ultimate System radio mouthpiece in the UK, has Greta Thunberg as “Guest Editor”.
I have already blogged about both Greta Nut and the connected Extinction Rebellion nonsense:
One has to ask why the Today Programme has asked this mentally-disturbed, autistic creature, 17 years old this week (on 3 January 2020), and who has no educational qualifications of any kind (not even school ones), let alone any scientific ones, to edit their show? It’s pure System propaganda.
Greta Thunberg is no more authentic than a ventriloquist’s dummy:
If I am honest, Greta Nut’s “impassioned” rants just make me laugh out loud. Ridiculous, irrelevant little nut.
Sick politics
Kay Burley was apparently offered not only a safe Westminster seat by both Lab and Con (in 2015), but even an immediate Cabinet place! The present system is just mad. It is neither democratic nor rational.
In itself, a fairly standard story about an aged “veteran” from WW2, but look at the last paragraph:
“The Dambusters raid – officially known as Operation Chastise – has gone down in history as one of the war’s most famous stories.
Purpose-built ‘bouncing bombs’ were used to target dams in Germany in May 1943 – which then burst and caused catastrophic flooding in some parts.
A post-war film cemented the raid in the nation’s popular consciousness – although it claimed more than 1,600 lives.” [Daily Mirror]
There is gradually seeping into these wartime stories the consciousness of the human cost, not only to one side in war, but also to the “enemy” (especially civilians), of such military operations.
I am in favour of the Welfare State, in principle, but that just begs the question. Even the Iain Dunce Duncan Smiths and Esther McVeys of this world go that far, at least in public utterances. The devil really is in the detail here.
The famous economist, Milton Friedman, once said that you can have open borders, and you can have a welfare state, but you cannot have both. That it is even necessary to posit that shows how far the more socialist-minded people in the UK (and elsewhere in Northern Europe) have travelled from reality. Many “refugees welcome” dimwits actually believe that an almost endless number of “refugees” or others can enter the UK without affecting State benefits and services (as well as road and rail congestion etc). This seems to be based on the idea that the immigrants will work, pay taxes, in short become normal citizens or quasi-citizens. Angela Merkel thought the same, only to find that most “refugees” were
incapable of any but the most basic work (such as fruit-picking) because of their linguistic and/or educational levels;
unwilling, in many cases, to work, in a situation where the State provides free accommodation, free utilities, free transport for some, free food for some, as well as pocket money on quite a generous level.
The UK does not provide social security (or, in our new Americanized speech, “welfare”) benefits on the generous scale offered by Germany or Scandinavia etc, but the fundamentals are similar.
A personal story: when I was much much younger, in my early twenties, I became acquainted, via a lady I then knew, with a friend of hers (more accurately a woman who had attached herself to her like a limpet). Now this other woman was not British in any sense except that she had married a New Zealander who had (presumably because taken there from the UK as a child) a British passport. The woman was in fact a Jewess from Moscow, who had somehow got to know the New Zealander while he was on a holiday trip to the Soviet Union. We need not examine motives and reasons, but that couple married and went to live in New Zealand. They had two children. After about four or five years, the woman left her husband, left New Zealand and flew to the UK.
When I met the woman in question, I believe that she had been in the UK for a couple of years. She washed-up in Downham, an obscure suburb in South-East London, where the local council provided her with a council flat. I have no exact idea of what other benefits she was granted, but they would have included child benefit and some form of income support. She never had to work, though at first she did a couple of evenings a week teaching Russian at some place or other which I forget (possibly Morley College in Westminster Bridge Road, or the City Literary Institute in Drury Lane, both of which adult education centres I myself frequented at the time).
Scroll on a few years. This “Russian” Jewish woman, with no real connection to the UK at all had been given a quite decent house with gardens in Grove Park, a better part of the same borough. She had been impelled to move, apparently, by a visit from her father, a nuclear scientist (which sounds impressive, but the Soviet Union had legions of them) who had told her that she would have a better flat were she to return to Moscow! Of course, there she would have had to work…anyway, I visited the new house once (out of duty rather than choice) and so saw it, despite being not much liked by the woman. The woman had been diagnosed with a kidney complaint (though I never saw her looking unwell) and so no doubt managed to claim some form of incapacity or disability benefit; and had also acquired a car (almost certainly also funded by the State). In addition to all of that, the woman and her children also had all the usual UK benefits of free education and health. I do not think that she bothered to do much work after that, maybe a little part-time teaching or occasional low-level interpreting.
Now it might be said, perhaps especially by people more naturally drawn to socialism than capitalism, that she was entitled to these things because lawfully resident in the UK. Perhaps, but look at it from the wider point of view: she had never contributed anything to the UK, just taken. The small part-time jobs here and there can be discounted as having been de minimis. She leeched off the UK’s people since about 1979 and, the last I heard (a couple of years ago), that situation remained unchanged, probably to this day. In fact, she would now be “entitled” to a State pension and Pension Credit. Call it 40 years of being a millstone round the neck of the British Welfare State.
Now multiply the above by millions, the millions of often completely useless people from the backward hordes imported into the UK for decades. For example, it is reported that only 20% of the huge numbers of Somalis in the UK (how? why?) are employed at all.
I repeat, I do favour a decent Welfare State, but it can only exist if
a. the economy can support it;
b. it is not swamped.
The above two conditions really come down to the same thing now, or very nearly so.
For me, the answer to the work and income challenges of robotics, computerization, Internet shopping, AI etc is the Basic Income concept, but Basic Income, like the existing Welfare State, will decline and may fail unless it is restricted to those who are at the very least, genuine citizens.
