Oh to be Prime Minister

So let me get a couple of things straight I didn't vote conservative, I didn't vote for Brexit, neither was I particularly pleased that Boris Johnson was leader of the conservatives ergo: He was the Prime minister. But what a couple of years he's had to lead us through! Brexit alone was a mountain to climb, but that was just the beginning Covid Fatherhood More Covid Parties Covid yet again The threat of WWIII and nuclear war 2019 seems so long ago Yet still he remains. The man has been attacked mercilessly, which you can understand with so many topics to have to contend with that literally splitting the country right down the middle Not to mention Sturgeon and Drakeford. This pair seem utterly determined to take a different direction to the Prime minister no matter what he does. Now I don't mind them deciding on a different path for Scotland and Wales if they thought it was in the best interests, but one can't help thinking they're only doing it to spite Boris, ...

The Black racist fighting imaginary demons

Image
  "I can't be racist, some of my best friends are black" The above line has become anathema to the black racist. Consistently mocking white people and holding it up as a classic example of white people in denial about them being a racist. Sadly, I can't use this perfectly reasonable claim. I have a very small circle of friends, none of whom are black. But it does represent the futility of arguing with the black racist. Most white people in Britain have long given up and trying to defend themselves and rightly so.  Racism will never go away, neither will the black racist, they're here to stay, the best thing to do is just ignore them. So, in yet another of posts that I imagine nobody will ever read. I give you an article written by a champion of "how to be racist to white people and get away with it" Imarn Ayton! A black lady, who's small profile has already significantly dimmed over the past couple of years as more and more people see her for the rac...

History (It doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes)

So now that the government have fully woken up to the madness of teaching CRT and the utter corruptive embezzling of Marxist movement BLM they've issued via a national tabloid much needed regulation on what is actually being taught in our schools and laid out a roadmap on how to move forward. I personally love history, most of my interest over the past 40 years or so has been on 20th century history, but I have spent many a time delving into ancient civilizations, the early attempts at what we call democracy, how wars have blighted humanity throughout it's whole history. Now I won't claim to have studied everything, but I have read (and watched) plenty enough to appreciate that many (if not all) echoes from history are much more complicated than most of us can possibly fathom. Once again. One of Britain's premier race baiters shouty shola has been flaunting her wares on TV. The usual stuff. Britain is bad, BLM/CRT is amazing we all need to learn from them, buy my book. ...

Intersectionality for dummies

Image
Intersectionality like it's evil twin CRT can also only be described in very broad strokes. But the key tenet would be the removal of individual responsibility and replacing it with group responsibility. And like CRT you could place them both under what people have come to call "Cultural Marxism" The idea being to replace what you originally think of how a society works (western society) with Cultural Marxism. The following video is a short summing up https://rumble.com/v17naar-cultural-marxism-explained-in-7-minutes.html Now Intersectionality is very much a theory of this left wing thinking. The language you use has been changed, bastardised but still recognisable.  Intersectional thinking believes it is only possible for white people to be racist. How did they turn the dictionary meaning above into something only white people can do? Simple, they insert power and privilege into the meaning. So because intersectional thinking believes only white people have power and pri...

Why does England vote Tory

An article written 18 months ago was recently brought to my attention. As someone who has never voted Tory in my life, but who is also English I have also thought long and hard about this over the past 30 years or so myself. The article (written by Adam Ramsay) who appears to be an extreme progressive (ie someone in the realm of being a communist) raised some fairly reasonable issues that could describe the phenomena but it also missed exploring an area far more important and that is the reason England tends towards Tory is fluid rather than an immovable object. Reasons change. So let's break this down. " Progressives will never dominate English politics without confronting Churchillism" As a subheading it's not looking promising. While growing up Churchill was always presented to me as a war-time leader who made a stand against an evil that threatened the very existence of the Western World. Do note. Britain voted Churchill out of office before the War had officially...

We need to have a conversation about racism (but it's not the one you think)

I hate the trope "we need to have that conversation/we're not ready for that conversation"  It's just empty rhetoric. What should I do, phone up all my black and asian friends and say "hey, let's talk about racism guys" I don't think the response would be that positive, in fact, I KNOW the response wouldn't be positive because I know them first and foremost as friends and not as members of a particular group. I know them better than a stranger knows them just because they happen to share the same skin tone. Many have a problem with this, but their problem is not our problem and I wish them well. Let me give you another example. Bernie Ecclestone is known globally by many to be an odious, arrogant, pompous and highly unlikeable man. He's also been in the news regarding his negative view on F1 drivers receiving honours. He's also gone on record saying that Lewis Hamilton should retire now so that he doesn't eclipse Michael Schumachers r...

Lewis Hamilton. Not a bad bloke

As far as mainstream sports go, for me Formula 1 ranks right down towards the bottom. I love sport, I love the competition, the battle to be the best, be it in a one-off competition or supreme effort over the course of a season. But my favourite sports are ones that represent a balance of fairness. Football is great, I love it on the international level but not so much on a club level. Can any club really celebrate winning trophy after trophy simply because they have the biggest budget? Many do, but for me personally no. There are many other sports that celebrates winners based on little more than financial clout. It's still sport, but not as interesting. Which is why Formula 1 ranks so low personally for me. When you add something external into a sport (such as a horse or a car) You dilute it's fairness.  As much as I enjoyed British cycling's domination on the track every time the Olympics roll round. It's always tempered with the knowledge that our Brits were also on...
