Morning thought
Some years ago, I realized that “nothing works properly any more” in the UK, and both tweeted (when I was still on Twitter, i.e. until 2018) and blogged about it. Others probably came to a similar realization at about the same time.
Since then, political activists, including Reform UK people such as Farage and Matt Goodwin, among many others, have taken up the refrain. In fact, it is now heard everywhere.
I encountered a “small” (but telling) example yesterday.
In the past, meaning until a year or two ago, doing some minor transaction in a bank was simple. You went in, there were several cashiers (or, in the American usage, tellers) there, you did your business and left. Easy. Now? For one thing, in the UK, you cannot simply pay a small sum in cash into someone else’s account. Oh, no, that might facilitate “money-laundering” (we are told), so you have to go through the slightly tedious process of paying the said sum into your own account, then transferring the money into the account of that other person.
Now, the banks have found other ways to make life difficult for their own customers. On entering the bank branch in question, one of only two left in the high street of my local small town, I saw the branch fairly crowded —usually, there are only one or two people there (and one cashier, where there used to be three or four).
Anyway, I paid in a modest sum to my own account via a machine. That went OK, but then I had to get the sum transferred to the destination account. That used to mean approaching someone sitting behind a desk. They would then do what was necessary in about a minute. Now? Oh, no, far too easy…
Some drone with a name-tag round his neck (one of several seen hanging about yesterday) approached me with an electronic tablet of some kind, and informed me that customers now had to “sign in” with their names… I gave him my name. He entered it on his device. He then informed me that there were 4 or 5 people ahead of me, and would I like to take a seat and wait… I had no time to waste, so gave up the idea and walked (maybe stomped) out.
What is this utter CRAP all about? The drone in question (not one of the usual staff, so obviously bussed in, with others, for this display of pointlessness) had asked me whether I do online banking. In other words, the banks want people to go online (only) and are making it awkward to do even the simplest things in person at a branch.
One small example of how everyday life in the UK has become —has been made— increasingly awkward, difficult, fraught. There are countless others, and the aim seems to be to reduce the individual to a number and a password on a screen, a kind of virtual (in either sense) serf, in short.
What I experienced yesterday was an example of deliberately “nudging” bank customers to go away and go online. The branch (in fact, all branches) can then be shut down, closed, sold off, the few remaining staff made redundant, and the quite grand building sold to become, probably, a bar or bistro.
Incidentally, opening hours have also been reduced; the branch is now open only 0930-1530.
Anyone who replies that bank opening hours were always about 6 hours a day misses the point that, as late as 1970, only 25% of British people even had a bank account (true, believe it or not).
The general dissatisfaction with UK society (and, so, politics) is not only fuelled by the black/brown migration invasion, or by other big issues being appallingly-incompetently —or deliberately-badly— handled, but by the fact that everyday life is now bedevilled by pointless, time-consuming, and utterly inflexible procedures and protocols, the aim of none of which is to help the individual, and still less to serve him.
As said, a small example of larger trends.

Simply appalling. This is what the pro-Israel Jews (numbering, according to the Jewish Zionist propagandists themselves, about 95% of all Jews in the UK at least), and pro-Israel non-Jews, are supporting.
In the end, whether you call it “genocide” (which it obviously is) or not is an academic argument. The fact is that the behaviour of the Israeli Jews has been more than appalling. Inhuman. The behaviour of “the simulacrum of the human“, in fact.
Over the past 2 years, 200,000+ Gazan Arabs, mostly civilians, mostly women and children, slaughtered or grievously injured (amputations, blinding etc), as against 1,000-2,000 Jews killed or captured by Hamas operatives on one day or two days in 2023 (many of which victims were in fact killed by Israeli forces operating a scorched-earth or free-fire protocol).
That is even before you consider the pathological behaviour of the Israeli Jews, killing —and deliberately killing— or deliberately crippling, children (etc).

Appalling. Again.
One group, spread across the world, and particularly the “Western” world, is the main enemy of humanity and its future. It is not the Muslim, or even Islamist, element, whatever their own flaws.
The whole basis of the question is wrong. Meaning, what is the definition of “racist” anyway, and does anyone (outside the Labour Party or the msm) give a monkey’s flying ****?
Speaking of “racism”…
Lammy is entirely ignorant, and as thick as two short planks.
A Russian proverb says that “an ape in a silk suit is still an ape“. [discuss].
What does it say about our society that a stupid ignorant creature such as Lammy is now “Deputy Prime Minister” and also joke “Justice Secretary” and “Lord Chancellor”, as well as being a Bencher of my old Inn of Court, Lincoln’s Inn, at which I myself am now persona non grata (by reason of having been disbarred at the instigation of a pack of conspiratorial Jews), and am without position or rank?
You decide. I already have.

[“Keir Starmer claims Nigel Farage is to blame for the boat people because Brexit took us out of the Dublin Convention (in 2020), which allowed us to return asylum seekers to the EU countries from whence they came. The PM is either ignorant of the facts — or knowingly lying. Neither is a good look. The Dublin Convention was a two-way street for asylum seekers. Yes, we could try to return them. But others could also be returned to us. As a result the Dublin Agreement actually made us a net recipient of asylum seekers. Take 2018. We made 5,500 requests for asylum seekers to be returned. Only 209 transfers were agreed. In the same year, under the same convention we accepted 1,215 asylum seekers. So we were net recipients by over 1,000. The Dublin Convention did nothing to make it easier to return asylum seekers. Nearly all politicians are cavalier with the truth when it suits them. But Starmer is taking this to a new level.“]
Starmer is worse than an “elected” dictator— he is an “elected” tyrant. What should be done with him? I merely pose the question.
Those (mainly in and around the Labour Party) who talk glibly about “improved processing“, “safe and legal routes” etc (for migrant-invaders) prefer to ignore (or do not even know) that, under the present laws and structures, as many as 800 million migrant invaders might have a “legally valid” claim to asylum in the UK. 800 million!
Translation— Reform 367 MPs, with a very solid Commons majority; Labour 98; LibDem 63; Cons 54; SNP 36 (etc).
What Dan Hodges means is that, on those results, about 314 Labour MPs would lose their seats (as would 97 Con Party MPs).
She was always a fake. Set up some company selling lingerie, which went bust a few years later, but by that time had networked to great effect, being “ennobled” by David Cameron-Levita before the lingerie hit the fan, so to speak. She was living largely off her House of Lords taxfree allowances and expenses, and a few TV appearances, for quite a while, but then met some very wealthy business parasite and married him.

Personifies several of the negative aspects of 21stC UK society.
Notice how the Jew Miliband refers to “our communities“. He is still pushing the deluded ideas about happy shiny multikulti “communities” in a happy shiny raceless cultureless Britain (in a similar Europe).
As for him telling Elon Musk to “get the hell out of ‘our country!” , the British people are shouting that, not at Elon Musk but at, among others, the migrant-invaders and the cosmopolitan parasites, including those bankrolling Starmer-stein.
[“Who voted for this insanity? Who voted for the largest population increase in the UK for nearly a century? Who voted for 98% of this population growth to be driven by mass immigration? Who voted for 1.2 million people to migrate into the UK in one year, enough to fill Birmingham? Who voted for the UK population to add 16,000 people but migration to add, net, nearly 800,000? Who voted to add a city the size of Leeds to the country in just 12 months? Who voted to add nearly 800,000 people to the UK while building only 200,000 homes?“]
You only have to look at the recent Labour Party Conference to see how utterly isolated the present government and its unthinking, corralled supporters are. Labour is around 20% in the polls, and at least half of those intending Labour voters, maybe as high as three quarters, are actually not really British at all. Blacks and browns, so to speak.
My own assessment is that the (real) English/British people have pretty much given up on the Labour Party. That, however, is also true of the Conservative Party, surprisingly up slightly to 20% in that poll, but as low as 14% in some others.
I was talking to an elderly lady who lives in one of the most solid Conservative Party strongholds in the South of England. Apparently, all the other elderly people she knows, almost all of whom who used to vote Con (the odd LibDem too), are now determined to vote Reform when they can; all of them.
Anecdotal, yes, but a straw in the wind that seems to mirror the opinion polls of the past 9-12 months.

[“So many people have argued with me online about Digital ID “What do you have to be afraid of, if you are not a criminal?” “It will be convenient and is only for interacting with government departments” Yet, here it is: on the Gov website in the UK. They have explained it in advance. This will be linked to all areas of your life. If you ignore this now, you can never go back to the life you have today. Take a stand against Digital ID.“]
I have blogged about all this, years ago. My point was that, at first at least, it will not be compulsory to hold digital ID. As with smartphones, computers, online this and that, you will not exactly be forced to comply. It is just that everyday life will become impossible without all that. Life is already difficult without smartphones, online access etc, but you can still just about do it, though only at the (literal) expense of paying more for less. In the near future, you will pretty much have to drop out of society if you do not wish to go along with the tide.
Starmer has gone further yet, in saying that he wants to make digital ID mandatory. Perhaps he has given away the game by speaking openly about this aspect of the overall conspiracy, and the System will now revert to slowly making life impossible without it, that is until a better opportunity arises to make the entire population digital serfs on pain of imprisonment or death (eg by the withholding of food or medical care —you may be unable to buy food unless you have the digital ID, you may be refused medical treatment etc).
[“This is insanity from the NHS trust in my constituency – ‘women and people who are pregnant’. No. Women get pregnant. NOT MEN. Utter nonsense. I have contacted the trust chief exec demanding for this to be removed, and an urgent clarification to be issued. Men do not get pregnant. Women get pregnant. This is not complicated. I have had enough of this woke garbage. This needs to be corrected, now.“]
That nonsense is still embedded in many public bodies, charities etc. As with so many other aspects of the dystopian conspiracy, the fake “Covid” “pandemic” (scamdemic; panicdemic) was the template for forcing an alien and inhuman culture and society onto us.

[“A local Great Yarmouth charity refused my salary donation today, clearly because they don’t like my approach to politics. Left-leaning people involved. Thousands of pounds that won’t go to the people they’re supposed to help because they can’t put petty politics aside – very disappointing. Pathetic. We should all be in this to make Great Yarmouth a better place to live and raise a family. That’s the only thing I’m interested in – it’s why I’m donating my entire MP salary to make it happen, alongside all other efforts. We will find another home for the donation… I will always put Great Yarmouth first.“]
An honest MP, not in it for the money? Remarkable. Perhaps he will be on a postage stamp one day.
First up (I trust…)— “UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] and the informally-connected and very malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]. Aliens (albeit with British passports, often also and at same time with Israeli ones), working away like termites on behalf of a foreign and alien state.

“Can someone explain“…how a Pakistani woman of very slight legal background (a Bar pupillage of a year, followed by a couple of years working for a firm of solicitors) was appointed as Justice Secretary and also, “Lord Chancellor” (a now-meaningless title), and is now Home Secretary? This country has become a bad joke.
Ha ha! I love the way that these phenomena are looked at either with bemusement or frustration by so many msm scribblers and talking heads. They, many of them, simply cannot understand that many, perhaps most, (real) British people are angry and disappointed with the old parties of the System, and so are ready to vote Reform.
If Reform takes power and fails, those same voters will vote social-national, many of them, if a social-national party arises. The “Overton Window” is moving, and fast, as fast as the country slides to dystopian chaos.
Reform may or may not get beyond 35% in the polls by the time of the next general election, it may even stick at about 30%, but if Lab and Con are stuck around 20%, Reform wins, handsomely. “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king“, after all.
Can’t see Nigel Farage there, though…
Wall. Squad. End.
[“Ukraine will not be able to use “Tomahawk” missiles against Russia These missiles can be launched in three ways: from a destroyer ship, from Ohio, Virginia, and Los Angeles class submarines, as well as using the new land-based “Typhoon” missile system, according to “Responsible Statecraft.” It is emphasized that Ukraine has none of these capabilities and that its chances of acquiring them are practically zero. Also, as “The Wall Street Journal” notes, launching “Flamingo” missiles requires large investments for which Kyiv does not have the funds.“]
