Loose Ends

In order to tackle a problem, its important to first identify the root cause of the problem, how it manifests and what are the causes and effects of this manifestation. I first looked into queer theory sometime around 2015. Having taken a long hard look at the ideology behind it I was satisfied by what I'd concluded (satisfied & alarmed) Fast forward a few years and we are seeing more and more of the devastating effects of queer theory coming to fruition, the worst of which is centred around biology which is the bedrock of the whole trans rights agenda. Coupled with the creeping tenet of biological men competing in sporting categories created purely for biological women, we are living through dystopian times. Yet over the past couple of years or so, I've also noticed a growing trend to steer the conversation away from the actual problems by offering up something else as its root cause. The following image is a typical example of deflecting the real root cause by bringing so...

♫  Cheese & Onion Sandwich's & Derby chinaware. ♫ (Chas & Dave - That's what I like) What is British culture? Like a fish swimming in water, you cant properly define it because its everywhere. So without much ado, I shall define it. Avoiding the far left/right dichotomy of what they think British culture should be, allow me to explain not what it should be, but what it actually is. We are, after all, the masters of understating things "Things are a bit sticky sir" Thanks to this radio broadcast from Brigadier Tom Brodie during the Korean War to his American superior an entire regiment of what later came to be known as the Glorious Gloucesters was virtually wiped out. Had his superior also been British, he would have understood exactly what Brodie meant, a Brit would have known this almost instinctively and understood that the Gloucesters were in fact, looking into the face of total annihilation. They were, and it happened. Being British is also a sudden an...

"It only happened when the unthinkable became normalised." Sounds pretty frightening doesn't it? Echoes of past descents into chaos, culminating in horrible atrocities that normally just would not happen. They are just, well, unthinkable. Of course, this is fair comment because when we think of the unthinkable our minds cast back to events like Holodomor, the holocaust or the Rwandan genocide. All these things happened and they largely happened because we normalised the unthinkable. Hyperbole (exaggeration) A very common use of language. For example  "I ate a ton of food at lunch today so I think I'll skip dinner" Obviously, I didn't actually eat a ton of food, otherwise I would be dead, not forgetting I would have been violently sick long before I managed to eat a ton of food, its an exaggeration (hyperbole) Just keep this in mind, hyperbole will come up lots in this blog post (maybe even, a ton of times) Other things worth remembering. I shall be refer...

The Muslim Vote Website Normal person Twitter was recently sent into scare mode after a Muslim political scientist made a bold claim that if Muslims were to collectivise they could decisively shift a parliamentary seat (or 86). Of course, this is cause for alarm. The British public have long since departed from the idea of voting on religious grounds, we vote according to personal values and who best represents them. Now many Brits are very religious, but this is pretty low down on their list of values when it comes to voting. So a Muslim block vote is going to start raising eyebrows. There is a caveat in his tweet, which is hardly surprising, even Muslims are capable of voting of their own free will and not by religious diktat. So when he caveats by saying it would take a huge effort among the Muslim community, how much of an effort would it actually need? So I thought I would also have a look to see if his claims are backed up by the stats. Luckily, we've recently had the latest ...
