“Labour was last night accused of declaring ‘class war on Middle Britain’ over shock plans to slash public services in affluent areas.
The radical plans, included among draft proposals for Labour‘s Election manifesto, would extend equality laws covering race, age, gender, disability and sexuality to include ‘the inequality of social class’.
…given very low growth in public spending, the Harman plans ‘would certainly require real cuts to the services provided in more affluent parts of a council’s area’.
And that, he warned, could lead to a collapse in the middle classes’ faith in the state, raising the prospect of a new class of ‘tax refuseniks’.”

An opportunity for social nationalism in the affected areas.

Cambridge University is a nest of anti-Europeanism.
Ireland has far more migrant-invaders than cows by now, at a guess.

If that is true (surely not?), then we really are in the antechamber of the Third World War.
Leni Riefenstahl— Olympia
Germany, despite having been mired in depression, poverty, and decadence in the early 1930s, was able to stage that magnificent spectacle in 1936, after only three years of National Socialism.

Nature/nurture? You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear…
Tweeter “Suzie Wong” manages, in typical Twitter fashion, to make herself look absolutely ignorant.
Interesting. I rather like Turkey, and have been there several times, both to the mainland and (once) to Turkish North Cyprus. On my last visit, in 2001, everything was pleasantly inexpensive for someone with hard currency. Even cheaper now, it seems. I drove to Turkey from the UK, and back again. Hazardous at times, but a good trip overall. I was there three months, mostly spent in and around Fethiye (Mediterranean coast).
Only one thing now matters— that a core of white Northern Europeans can create a basis or foundation for a later culture and civilization which can itself in turn be a foundation for a quantum leap in human evolution.
Reminiscent of the early 1970s BBC Play for Today called The Year of the Sex Olympics. It must be true— all fact is preceded by fiction…

In fact, I see now that Wikipedia says that The Year of the Sex Olympics was made in 1968, then re-broadcast in 1970 in The Wednesday Play slot, and not the quite similar Play for Today format. That must have been when I saw it.
As for the latest Swedish craziness, I predicted it or similar on the blog a few times, referencing the latest UK TV pleb-fests such as Love Island (I admit that I have never actually seen that).
