Sure They Will...!

Reader, they couldn't find or rather keep a man, but they are going to find the solution!

Do I worry that as a single mum I’m more likely to raise a toxic boy? It’s complicated. I am of course terrified of my son – who does not yet own a phone – getting online and being fed the sort of misogynistic poison shown on Louis Theroux’s important, but flawed, Inside The Manosphere, which is still going great guns on Netflix. But does being a single mother actually increase that risk?

Probably, it increases all sorts of risks, which is why it was once something to avoid… 

Surprise, surprise: an opportunity to blame women, some of society’s hardest working at that, for the behaviour of men.

The toxic figures platformed in Theroux’s documentary, and the boys and young men being radicalised online, have not turned out this way because they were raised by single mothers.

No, it’s because of money, or rather, lack of it:

Reaching, yet again, for tired statistics – often drawn from outdated studies – about boys in single-parent homes (while ignoring the underlying economic factors) completely misses the point.Conversations like this only compound society’s suspicion of single mothers, reinforcing a narrative that positions them as part of the problem rather than recognising toxic masculinity as the real issue.

Forty-three per cent of children in lone-parent households live in poverty, compared to 26 per cent in two-parent families. It is economically difficult, and often impossible, for single-income households to meet the basic costs of family life.

That's one of the reasons why, for thousand of years, it's been discouraged. But you yhought you knew better, didn't you?

Children from the lowest-income households face stark inequalities: lower GCSE attainment, higher rates of emotional difficulties, and a significantly increased likelihood of experiencing poverty in adulthood. Yes, there is a correlation between these outcomes and single parenthood, but for obvious economic reasons.

Economic reasons that dictate that the ideal set up is a TWO parent houshold! The answer's staring you in the face!  But none so blind, and all that...

Another Sensible Policy

,,,that we'll never see implemented:

Reform UK would stop issuing visas to people from any country that continues to demand compensation from the UK for its role in the transatlantic trade in enslaved people, the party has said.

Who could possibly object to that? Well, of course, the 'Guardian' will find some:

The CRC’s chair, Prof Sir Hilary Beckles, speaking at a lecture in London during its first official visit to the UK, said the commission’s ultimate aim was for the UK and its former colonies to identify mutual strategies for a mutually beneficial restorative justice programme. 

“Every week, we open the newspapers and we hear the most terrible things about these reparations people from the Caribbean. Some have said that we have come here to break the British Treasury by demanding millions and billions and billions of pounds. And they have consistently tried to discredit what is an ongoing moral and ethical argument for justice, the right to justice,” he said during the lecture.

Go to hell, grifter! You have no moral standing whatsoever! Like Longrider, I have my doubts that such a policy would be instigated, even if Reform were to form a government. Too many enemies within in the civil service to sabotage it.

Gold, silver, metals and stones

There's copious material, this Tuesday morn, on the burning church, on the mosque inside the Vatican, on all sorts of CofE corruption, or Orthodox tales ... that's too much of a rabbit hole early morn ... shall look at that over at Unherdables later.

Today at Orphans ... money.  Mammon. As in how to preserve whatever hard assets you have. Zero Hedge, predictably, suggest this:

How many of you would risk govt bonds and securities today in the west?  As for gold, I saw this:

Life's Grey And Miserable Enough...

...in Skegness:

A school in a seaside town known for ice cream and chips has banished "beige" food in a bid to help pupils eat more healthily. Skegness Grammar School has ditched sausage rolls and pizza in favour of "nutritious" alternatives, such as smashed pea and feta pitta bread and waffles with fruit.

I bet they sell like hot cakes (which are probably banned too!).

Head teacher Lorraine Walker said: "There was a lot of beige food on offer, and we wanted to support our students to get a balanced diet."

Lady, if your sausage rolls are beige instead of golden brown, they are undercooked! 

Not everyone agrees with the move, however. Chloe, a year nine student, said: "They've changed it to healthier, but it's not as good quality. Everyone's talking about it in lessons, that they don't like it."

But there’s always one little suck-up in every classroom: 

Tom, a year 13 student, said he found the food "very nutritious" and "tasty". He had noticed a positive effect on his peers since the change. Some pupils did "miss" the old menu, he added. "But they know it is for the greater good."

Tom has a future ahead of him as a politician! 

Mark and Sarah Wheatley, both 60, said the most important thing was to have a balanced diet.Sarah added: "Some are quite fussy. And if they're not eating that, then they're not eating nothing, are they?"

I guess they didn’t attend a school that taught them about double-negatives, even if the lunch was delicious….

The contrived Generation War, using pensions and benefits as the vehicle

Here are some screenshots, mainly from one pundit, versus Miriam Cates and a genuine Gen Zee Jess Gill. She uses GB News to attack pensioners on the State Pension.

The argument centres around the poor youngsters supposedly having nothing coz the nasty Boomers refuse to give them their money and provide, while their lives were cushy and secure in boomer days. Interesting ... I don't recall my parents providing everything still after 21 ... they expected I'd get a job and pay for myself.  No job, no benefits.

On the other hand, the young have a point in this respect ... the Uniparty are ensuring that 18 to 30 are today mentally deficient, ignorant, uneducated, violent and undisciplined and many of those miscreants ruining kids are leftist women, quite a few being boomers ... yes.

Anyway, in no particular order:

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

In order to run this post at Orphans, our various positions need restating, plus where we're the same. My libertarian mate says we're only ever going to agree, at best, on around 80% of things.  I note our Julia concentrates on the minutiae of our western, civic life, even British life ... for example:

... whereas I tend to go for the westwide topics in the X news, from a strongly antiWoke, antiUniparty, antiDeepState, anti WEF, antiTavistock, antiEU, antiVaxx, anti ClimateBollox, antiFabian stance.  With both of us, we want our civic life back, our heritage ... on X, I'm constantly retweeting Old Britain, Old England, even Old France, US, Canada, even down to old architecture versus the new brutalism.

Julia has strong views on arrogant cyclists and dangerous dogs ... I agree.

As far as the party political goes, within Britain for example, I'm thnking both Julia and I are antiUniparty, esp. on illegals and women's safety. Think it's safe enough saying that.

Trouble is that there's a confused dissident scene just now.  It was all pretty clear for awhile, up to Clacton ... the dissident side were fairly "at one" ... but then something happened ... one of the Reform MPs had the police called on him, a rough speaking farmer ... by M25 bubble, City types, plus by one of the "invaders" who seemed to have become their mate.

That could only result in a split, nothing less.

Is it lack of anger or just fatigue?

This was the exchange which kicked it off:

Then, two days ago, was this:

Yes, fatigue at all the constant assaults on us, our lives, on the most vulnerable parts of our populations, whilst ... well, you know the "whilst".

But it's more than that ... it's the constant "unfairness", designed to make us humiliated and angry in favour of all the wrong people.  And even as I sit here typing, looking out of the window, upwards, they're laying chemtrails again in order to kill off the sun.  These are demonic criminals we're dealing with.

They want, planned and need conflagration, dead bodies. If they can't get em through war, they do it through vaxxes and lockdowns, through speaying.  How do they continue to get away with it?  Rampant fraud of course, devoid of conscience.

Are You Not Getting The Attention You Feel You Deserve? Westfield Has Your Back!

Your backPACK, that is....

Westfield London understands that guests with additional sensory needs may find visiting our centre a daunting experience. To help support guest’s visits, we offer sensory packs that have been selected with key sensory items to offer children and adults a broad range of sensory opportunities and therapeutic benefits.

And they are bright red, and labelled, so everyobe can see you are a special person, not just one of the hoi polloi.

The pack has been designed to support people living with a wide range of disabilities who are likely to benefit from sensory resources to make their shopping experience more enjoyable.

I work in Stratford and have to go through Westfield - what would make it more enjoyable for me is a free stab-vest or a compete ban on diversity. It would certainly make it safer.

But this is not what the people who are the target of this advert want, they want the cachet of being different, special and singled out for special treatment and attention.

Our sensory packs contain items such as ear defenders and sunglasses to help with noise and light sensitivity, fiddle toys to keep hands busy and relieve stress and feeling fans to express how you are feeling.

I thought about Googling ‘feeling fans’ to find out what they are but thought better of it. I cannot be doing with any more coddling of pathetic kids and adults for whom the best advice would be ‘GROW UP!’

Our sensory packs can be hired at Guest Services.

Pity you can't hire a backbone. That's what would do these people the most good.

In praise of home cooking

Not just because it's usually better, has ingredients you've reviewed and decided upon, better know the source of, is more to your taste, covers the range of required nutrients ... but it also, directly and indirectly, partially keeps at bay everything out there from unhygienic people to chemtrails.

Partially ... only to a miniscule extent ... that's conceded ... but even controlling the air within your abode has at least a partial effect on your ailment reduced health and possibly greater longevity. If you can possibly do it, try to have some medium intensity exercise in there as well ... aerobic plus some resistance training.

Having said all that, various health, vaxx, bioengineered disease, iffy medical "profession" tweets from X are below ... truly food for thought.

Easter or Resurrection Day

Housekeeping ... my next post is Tuesday morn, Julia's Wednesday.  We wish you all a wonderful Easter Day ... or Resurrection Day ... or choc eggs and bunnies day ... or even Brit bank holiday ... however you commemorate it, may you stay safe and well through these iconic few days.

This below was saved about 5 a.m. BST, Sunday, posted on X by Malcolm Roberts, Queensland, Senator for One Nation downunder, which shows that the cultural underpinning for the west is well summed up ... yes, it is the rolling away of the stone which was the first scene to greet those coming to the tomb and was also the first Easter reference I saw upon logging in just now.

Whichever way you observe today and Malcolm Roberts quoted this:

"He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." — Matthew 28:6

... or you can go the egg route (sidebar) or whatever ... it certainly set the cat among the pigeons from that point forward, around AD33, even to the dating of our current era, plus many political scribes are noting, on this 2026 day, that events are moving in an apocalyptic direction, millions around the world are flocking to churches still not burnt down by the baddies.

And so, thoughts and prayers for readers and the suffering out there. See you in the next post.
