These men know that they have the backing of the government. The government brought them here and is using our money to house and feed them. They have come here with the express purpose of exploiting this country for what they can get out of it and no intention of contributing. They do not respond with gratitude; they think we are weak and have no problem demanding more.
They enjoy a special privilege. They are not bound by our laws but they are protected by them. They can commit crimes safe in the knowledge that they will be exonerated because of their special status. We know that we are no longer protected by our country's laws, but are bound by them, so complaining will see us punished harshly.
We are in a dangerous place now. People have lost faith in the processes and institutions that used to bind and protect us all equally because we have seen time and again that these institutions are broken. This cannot be accidental. Once people lose faith in due process, they will eventually seek justice on their terms and it will not be pretty. History has shown this time and again.
I can't call it with any degree of certainty, but if this happens then we will either have vigilante mobs or martial law. What we really need to know is who is paying (with cash, favours or both) our politicians to do this and to what purpose. We know the politicians didn't think any of this up because we see every day just how stupid they are. Stupid, but venal. I wonder what the desired outcome is beyond just destroying a country.
What will happen to men like this one once this has happened? They may survive vigilante action, but many come from societies where this is common and may have an advantage. They will be protected during martial law, or even be recruited as an army, but once the job is done be just as expendable as the rest of us.
Something very wicked is happening.

Prolonged warfare is not meant to benefit the people of any country. It is designed to benefit the military industrial complex and the parasite class it supports. These people love war. They can syphon more money from the population while pretending they care for them.

It's my understanding that many judicial appointments in the US are funded by the likes of Soros who also funds Antifa (but I might be wrong). That way if anything ever gets to court it will be processed with the lightest of touches.
So why do this now? I don't believe for a second that Soros's et al's influence is waning. Either this is complete fiction, or news to distract from something else, or this lot have been thrown under the bus for a reason we have yet to discover.

Recruitment is a perfect example of woke in action. Woke makes demands of organisations it infests, so the organisation can no longer do the job it was set up to do but must do woke instead.
So woke tells us that DEI is king. All work places must employ an exact replica of society. Quotas are essential. Any deviation from this is evidence of systemic -isms. Now organisations cannot consider qualifications, aptitude, merit, experience. It becomes a tick box exercise in Pokemon collection.
This is stupid in any line of work, but it is a monumental disaster for jobs like policing.
In an ideal world, policing should be an esteemed role. Only the very best of the best should even be considered. The job involves putting themselves on the line daily. Upholding the law without fear or favour. Having integrity. Respecting the people they serve. And the penalties for corruption should be severe, because of the dangers of loss of trust.
Now we have let's employ people who match our *special protected characteristics* above all else, so the likelihood of any of those employed being able to do the job even adequately is automatically diminished, because being qualified is no longer the primary factor in recruitment.
Every single day we see that those in charge of important things cannot do their jobs. Not even close. Heads really do need to roll.

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew,
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four–
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
1
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

That was one of my first twatter spats back in 2020. I mocked a post that said that nobody in Africa thought there were only two sexes until whitey colonised them. I was told that I couldn't criticise this theory because it was written by a woman of colour for her PhD and to do so would expose my racism.

I was in my local Asda with my parents a few months back. I mentioned to the cashier that I wasn't a fan of this tech. I didn't do it in a nasty way, because it's neither his fault or responsibility. During the check out, we put through some wine and my mum did her usual joke about him needing to see some ID to check she was old enough. The cashier then got a bit pissy and said *now you like digital ID?* or words to that effect. It's interesting how people conflate issues. I happen to agree with showing ID to protect minors from making some purchases. That's not the same as monitoring all of us to see that we're being good boys and girls.
I had a similar one in Lidl's. I was asked if I had a store card and I said my usual that I didn't because they're just spying apps to collect data. Again, I don't do it rudely because the cashiers are just doing their job. A chap in the queue behind me shouted at me that the government knows what we're doing all the time if we have a mobile phone, so why was I bothering (ie I should just get with the programme).
It's fascinating how many people will cheer for their enslavement and demonise those of us who raise concerns.

You're absolutely right. It is the self-censorship that matters; so much cheaper to frighten people into doing it themselves.
Having said that, I still don't want mass surveillance. It's clear that the police don't want it either as they have to be begged to solve actual crimes.
If our MPs want it so badly, they can lead the way. Let's have 24/7 live footage of them going about their daily business and see if they enjoy it. Then they can ask us to think about it.

I love the way that *we exist* has been used.
What it means is that they think they are the opposite sex, so their *existence* is the grandiose lie in their heads.

You could get a professor at a university to do a computer model study funded by a company that wanted to promote its vaccines and prove that the vaccines were amazing because the model would show that unless we took them we would all die and then governments could mandate them having spent our money on them and MPs coincidentally buy shares in said companies just before the stock went up.

The US empire has had its day. It was destroyed in the same way that all empires are; too big to manage and has pissed off too many along the way.
What a lot of citizens don't know is that the empire was never for them; it was for the deep state to enjoy the fruits while using its citizens to fund it. Many citizens never knew they were part of an empire; they thought they were part of a freedom project or whatever the propaganda told them to think.
The decline will be rapid and beggar lots of ordinary people. Those who caused the problems feathered their nests years ago and will simply walk away to spend more time with their money; they will leave others to mop up the mess they created.

Not attending school is an interesting one.
It is possible to register children as home educated in England; don't know if that's the case in Scotland. I know a few home-schoolers (I do a bit of private tutoring for some) and they're glad their kids are out of the system.
Of course, we also know that some children are out of the system so that abuse can happen undetected and some are the children of parents who can't be arsed to do anything.
I've come across all types. The knack is knowing which is which.
I predict a case of a child death owing to violence/neglect which will be used to crack down on home-schoolers (low-hanging fruit) and the abusive/negligent will continue to be left alone.

It takes a village to defraud a system.
The people who do it aren't clever or sly or good at covering their tracks. They exploit policy and use systems to their own ends. They using kickbacks to get people in the system to turn a blind eye. And once done, it cannot be got out of without admitting guilt. Alea iacta est. And so it continues.
This is common in tribal groups. Power goes to those who are the strongest and they must have power so they can use it reward others in the tribe while plundering and/or destroying those who are not.
If not in power, claim to be marginalised and in need of aid/clemency. If in power, offer none. It's as old as humanity. It will again soon.

Trust in policing in the UK is at an all-time low. Police are in thrall to lobby groups, and senior police behave like wannabe politicians. There seems to be little training in the law and lots of behaviour to support *laws* which they wish were the law.

It's a self-reinforcing organisation of the *educated* class who couldn't get jobs in the real world. A bit like academe.

Why do these *charities* receive taxpayer money?
Can't the luvvies fund them themselves and write it off as a tax dodge?

It's the part of being human that we cannot face. I remember asking my Gran about the war when I was young (she lived through two world wars) and she told me that the frightening thing is that ordinary people can be persuaded to do terrible things. It's easier for us to think that these people are monsters than to think that we might be capable of such acts.

It's the boundary violation. It's a power kick, and catnip to a narcissistic personality. The best way to find out is to politely say no and watch the reaction.

I wouldn't say no to 1985 again. Good times.

Agreed. I liked the part where Goering said that had Germany won, the US would be on trial for Hiroshima. The show trial element was well-portrayed. The attention to period detail was good and the whole film had a colourless tint that was effective. I also liked the interaction between Kelly and Goering's family.
The journalist was a weak point and was possibly a plot hole; would she have been allowed access to the executions after writing an article that made the US look bad?
I thought the script was excellent. We chatted for over an hour in the pub afterwards.

Nothing wrong with acknowledging what has been. The state has no business mandating what we should or shouldn't believe. We cannot undo what has been done in the past but we can learn from it. Replacing one religion with another is not a solution, merely a change of the guard.

I enjoyed (is that the right word?) it. Good script, great performances. Man of the match for me was Leo Woodall.

I really don't care. People keep on voting for the leopards eating faces party and are then surprised when the leopards eat their faces.
It's the same story everywhere. We've been doing it in the UK for years now and we still don't learn.

In the same way we'd struggle to find anyone who really thought that there were WMDs, I wonder if in 2026 we will notice that hardly anyone will:
* defend the lockdowns. Those still loyal to the cause will mumble things about it being a bit excessive, but we did it for good reasons.
* admit that they demanded jabs or jobs. They will say that they defended people's right to choose.
* support the right of men to use women's spaces. They will claim that they just wanted to be kind to cross-dressing men because reasons.
* declare their support for Mermaids or other similar groups. If challenged, they will frame it as supporting the right of children to express themselves.
* demand digital ID. They might mumble a bit about protection or safety, but only the faithful will shill for it.
* champion net zero. People want environmentally friendly, but they've come to realise that net zero is about bankrupting the UK and lining the pockets of globalists.
* profess to going on a BLM march. That's just embarrassing, given the open fraud that took place by the organisation.
* still have pronouns in their social media. Only the porn-addled blue-haired activists do that.
Or perhaps I'm being optimistic.

I remember saying something similar on here when I first joined about how so many issues in our world are part of the same agenda. They all require us to ignore what we can see and chant mantras, trust authorities that lie to us and denounce others for wrongthink. They all rely on censorship of non-approved ideas. Like the Hydra, all the heads need removing and cauterising. I remember a few people getting angry and blocking me for including convid as a hydra head because they still believed the official narrative.

It's a very good point.
It's also a good example of how citizens and governments are conflated.
Governments use taxation (in theory) to make collective spending decisions for the good of the people who provide the money. In practice they use it to further their goals of global domination which benefit them personally. They then *blame* the citizens for government actions and use taxes to *punish* their citizens for said government actions.
So for example, if the government bombs the shit out of a country because - reasons- (war on terror/drugs/whatever) then it ensures (through the presstitutes) that the citizens are seen as morally culpable (because they elected the government, right?) and therefore the *aid* sent abroad is a form of plenary indulgence/humanitarian support and the price you pay for the privilege of being able to bomb the shit out of places, because . . .reasons. This also includes the deliberate influx of migrants (some of which have had the shit bombed out of their country) but many who haven't - if your country hadn't behaved badly then they wouldn't be here, but also they should be here because . . reasons.
It's a rigged game and the only way to win is to refuse to play.
Stop voting for these criminals (and they're all criminals).
Stop paying taxes (they can't fund this shit without your money).

Alas, yes. It's not quite as bad in the UK as say San Francisco, but I suspect that any homeless charity in receipt of taxpayer money automatically becomes incentivised to keep the problem going rather than solve it in any meaningful sense.

It depends upon the circumstances.
Many homeless charities understand that there are different types of homeless people. Some are there because of a few terrible circumstances and won't need much help to get back on their feet again. Some are homeless because they are predisposed to making poor choices and no amount of money will help them.
The knack is identifying which are which.

This also begs the question why our political classes don't seek diplomatic solutions by way of persuading other governments to abolish the death penalty for protesting peacefully, asking for increased free speech etc. I think we know the answer.

We did take the aerial tramway to the top of San Jacinto and the views were wonderful. We also drove up to Idyllwild and down to the other side to Banning coming back to Palm Springs through the valley past the windmills. I shall add these recommendations for next time. It's a beautiful part of the world.

I am too. I love Palm Springs. I'm so sorry for those people who've had their property damaged. Hoping things will be right soon.
