'Penal Populism' Is A Hit With The Voters, Polly

An astounding change is happening to life in England and Wales that most people don’t know about, and when they are told they don’t believe it. Most crime, including violence, has fallen by a remarkable 90% over the past 30 years. But only 6% of people believe it, while 61% think crime is going up.

Dear old Polly, always reliably wrong. Here she presents facts on crime, assuming that because the numbers are lower than people imagine, we will all say, 'Ok, OK, that's all right then'... 

This great denial is the background cause of the prison overflow crisis, as politicians (of all parties) stir up voters to demand ever higher sentences as the imaginary cure to their imaginary soaring crime.

No one in politics needs to 'stir up voters'. quite the opposite, they are letting criminals go free in clear defiance of the electorate's wishes, and they'll pay a high prices for it at the ballot box.

All western European countries enjoy this same remarkable social improvement, with research over decades offering myriad reasons why: populations spending longer in education, CCTV, better security for cars and homes, and young people staying at home to play video games of fantasy crime instead of entertaining themselves with the real thing. Removing brain-harming lead from petrol and abortion of unwanted foetuses at risk of future child neglect are other possible explanations.

The Left's anwer to so mamy social issues seems to be to kill peiople, doesn'y it? 

This generation inhabits a far less violent society, with many fewer homicides, thefts, burglaries and serious violent crimes, but also far less casual social violence in brawls and punch-ups. Older folk nostalgic for an orderly golden age when no one bothered locking their front door usually situate it just beyond their own memories, in their grandparents’ halcyon days. But radical social change leads to less acceptance of any violence. Online fraud and cybercrime are the ones that are steeply rising, though they are committed by quite different criminals.

We rather doubt this, if the statistics are saying this, we wonder how they are being manipulated to give the 'right' answer.

Single landmark horror cases – from the Moors murderers to Fred West and Axel Rudakubana – are seared for ever into the nation’s collective nightmares. Too often these freak incidents drive our sentencing policy.

As they should do. 

It’s happening again in the case of two of those responsible for the heartrending death of PC Andrew Harper. Harper’s family, and every chief constable in England and Wales, protested vigorously that they were due to be released under new rules after serving only half of their 13-year manslaughter sentences.

But anything singling out these men will be challenged in court. Blocking early release for all those imprisoned for manslaughter would fill too many cells: besides, that’s rough justice when some have sentences of one year, others for 24 years or life.

The true rough justice is that these murderers are breathing at all; they deserved the death penalty. 

The law is set by parliament for independent courts to apply, regardless of politics: look at Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump or Viktor Orbán for examples of those who break that democratic principle. We should be uneasy at our government declaring publicly that it is chasing after a way to bend laws to lock up two particular offenders.

But we aren't. We are happy that for once they are listening to the electorate.

Las Malvinas Son Argentinas

 As most know, I have no interest in Sports, and most definitely None in Football. If 22 young, very fit young men earn their living chasing an inflated leather ball around a large grass pitch, excite many, I am left stone, icy cold. 

But, I have to admit, many millions of Brits do follow this strange ideal, and follow their ‘Team’ with an almost religious fervor.

Every four years, the many thousands following their nation’s teams in this United Kingdom spend huge sums of sparse cash in travel and ticket expenses, just to watch and support their Team; all in the faint hope that THIS TIME, their hopes and indeed their anguish will be rewarded with success. Indeed, in England’s ONLY success in 1966’s World Cup, this whole country was flying that Union Flag with almost no dissenters. 

But now, fast forward to the present day, the Nation watched as THEIR team, some 60 years after that famous victory, get beaten by their fiercest rivals Argentina in one of the CUP Semi-finals.

Although I did not watch the match, I did read many of the reports which described the actions of those Argentinian as almost criminal in their lack of sportsmanship and in foul play.

But the actions I since both watched and read about happened after the final whistle blew, giving Argentina the win.

Two of the Argentinian players grabbed a banner from Argentinian supporters which held the grossly offensive (to British eyes) term Las Malvinas Son Argentinas, which translates as THE FALKLAND ISLANDS ARE ARGENTINIAN. Four of those Argentinian Players held to that banner, in what had to be a grossly political offense to ALL British people, knowing that some 255 British military personnel died in that short but vicious conflict around those windswept Islands. 

Some commentators favour banning Argentina from the next  World Cup, many demand individual bans against the players who took part in that grossly offensive banner waving.

Myself, I would require a statement from the Argentinian President, apologising for the gross insult given our War Dead, and the withdrawal of Work Visas against the four or five so-called players who took part in that true Insult to the brave men who, by their own sacrifice, helped restore the Falklands to their rightful place as a British Overseas Territory.

It's a matter of weeks, people, at latest before Christmas

I'm referring here to the first rank and file level collapses ... it might even have started.

On Lord Toby's site today:

“Friday, August 21st 2026 was a slow news day. You could tell because the BBC’s Radio 4 6 O’Clock News led with the vacuous revelation Harry and Meghan are coming back to the UK. Slightly less uninteresting was the second story, the disastrous case against the Mail and how Harry and his fellow litigants are going to have to pay tens of millions of pounds to the newspaper in compensation.

There were more vacuous revelations to come. The ‘other’ top story was the impending catastrophe promised by the mounting El Niño crisis in the Pacific. The 6 O’Clock News was typical of the corporation’s output for the day.”

Meanwhile, there is a far more serious story and you ignore it at your own cost:

Dr. Janine was a medical doc, a GP, by the way. The other day, Amz refused to deliver food here. Unprecedented. Morrisons was the store, so I instaswitched and for now, it’s ok.

I’m not sure how many of our Brit readers understand how dire it is. Rupert understands as far as children and grandchildren are concerned. Good reader … I’m talking about the next weeks, do you understand? Exactly as the cold kicks in. Foreclosures everywhere. Everyone jittery at this time. No better anywhere except in America.

Have you seen the medical bills there, $five figures? They’re reported now and then on X.  Over here, I refuse to have procedures, I have no medical help at hand whatever. Xer Deryl Lynn agrees ... they're trying to cut her from her med practice, get her off their books.  Capita.

Now readers, I’ve been at this 'conspiracy theory' business since 2003 and I say this … has there been one disproven yet? Even one? There’ve been masses of putdowns of our kind, of me personally … water off a duck’s back except for one. Some spivvy pundit, Chris someone, I’ve forgotten, rocked in, said “whackjob” and sure enough, it transpired with NIST after 911 within weeks.

Another was in Dec 2019 to Jan 2020, when similar was said in response to warning people not to get vaxxed, don’t even let them shove things up your nose. I named Fauci, Birx, various others. There was a lady, Amazing Polly, who put up charts of the interconnections. She was not wrong on those. She went a bit off the rails later in other ways.

The one thing protecting me at this point is no one is reading, much less buying my warnings, drawn from much alt reading. So be it, I’m happy with that. One lady in the US not so happy is Data Republican. She’s being hit far more than I am. By the way, I’m getting about 200 spam in a day across the way … is that normal for such a small site?

I’m also saying ... do not trust Yusuf-Farage any more than the other charlatan “kept” “leaders”. As for Rupert, Mr. CivNat, I’m more with the younger set … Charlie Downes etc. … EthNats. The right position is mainly EthNat with some CivNat for people of half a century or more in Britain … they came the right way from Estonia, whatever, they jumped through hoops, they are not Brit but are half Brit and welcome. They assimilated and their culture is Brit culture. Very few of these, and not Windrush in any shape or form.

Well, You've Overseen The Change Of Every Other Aspect Of British Culture..

In this fragmented but supposedly mild country, watching and talking about the weather forecast is meant to be a reassuring, unifying activity.

We've done it for years, after all, until it's become as much a sign of British culture as queuing for things.  

Yet like the traditional British climate, that common weather culture may now be evaporating.

It can join all the other things that're disappearing, like queuing for buses, offering a seat on the train or bus, saying 'please and thank you' and tolerance. 

As the climate crisis has affected this country in more and more unmistakable but uneven ways, TV weather forecasters have increasingly struggled to find the right language to describe this transformation’s daily consequences.

Across all the British TV broadcasters, sometimes within the same bulletin, or even the same sentence, weather forecasters now present sunshine as welcome and oppressive; high temperatures as miraculous and unbearable; rain as an inconvenience and desperately needed; cloud cover as depressing and a relief.

Constant sunshine and heat IS oppressive, when it goes on too long in a country where houses aren't buillt for it, and rain IS a relief when the countryside is a tinderbox with nearly empty reservoirs, due to the influx of immigration with no forward planning. 

Tanned forecasters in sundresses, emphasising the positives for domestic holidaymakers of another record-breaking summer, alternate with grim-faced forecasters suggesting we are experiencing a weather apocalypse.

This year, parts of the country have experienced such contrasting summers – wetter than usual in western Scotland, desert-like in southern England – that we can no longer say they share broadly the same northern European climate.

Yet only from 2015 did an “Apocalyptic genre” of heatwave articles begin to become dominant; and a “Romantic genre” of celebratory coverage remains. In a country where many people still spend much of the year feeling cold, the idea of hot weather as a liberation is likely to linger, for some, for decades to come.

Not for me, I will never enjoy the heat as some do, but then, I never sought out foreign holidays for the heat either. I'd far rather visit somewhere cold and interetesting than lie on a beach all day.

During the record heat of 2022, “weather forecasters faced unprecedented levels of trolling”, the BBC reported, including “hundreds of abusive tweets or emails questioning their reports and telling them to ‘get a grip’… ‘it’s just summer’”. Some of these climate crisis deniers described advice on how to stay cool as “pandering to the ‘woke brigade’”, and accused the BBC and Met Office of “scaremongering” to help the then Conservative government impose unneeded green policies.

This summer, some of these conspiratorial arguments have re-emerged. But with the Tories having in effect turned against net zero, joined by Reform UK, Restore Britain and most of the rightwing media, disagreeing with weather forecasters who express alarm about our changing climate has become more mainstream. Discussing the weather is no longer just small talk, but also a battlefield in the culture wars.

EVERYTHING is now... 

“The climate of the 20th century has now gone,” says Mike Kendon, a Met Office scientist and co-author of State of the UK Climate in 2025, published last month. So far, this year’s weather has been more extreme. Even more than the heat, summer drought and winter floods, its key feature has been the weather getting stuck in one state for months – a characteristic of harsh continental climates, rather than the changeable one around which our society has been built.

That change will be lost amid all the other, bigger changes. 

Bankruptcy is but part of it

Once a westerner has lived in an oppressed country, even formerly oppressed, if he’s spoken with the old and young alike, then a quite different perspective emerges, of course incorporating Dr. Jennine’s point about bankruptcy … but much broader.

Yes, certainly it’s that, financially, but in every other way bankrupt too, from heritage to moral compass, to ignorance. Five young people ride by and kill a cop … that’s the sort of degeneracy. A woman murders her children because she’s had a bad day … another one today by the way, reported by Sassafrass … let alone what the savages are doing … women cheering on the murders of thousands of full term babies … a 19 year old athlete collapses and dies. Vaxx …

… and which moral derelicts insisted that happen? Von Leyen? Schultz? To the Covid and Vaxx lies? Back again to this quote:

A concrete example from my town in Russia, as a car driver there once … there are key choke points on the roads, the places Plod know that drivers must pull out to get around parked cars but the instant you do, you have committed an offence … if you are not yet on the system as an offender, that comes up and they do you for it. You’re now in the system as a crim … useful for them.

Thus you collect points, all for revenue and hold over you … they have quotas. So, once a year, you must renew car docs but to do that, you must first get a series of other docs and pay money at various venues in order to get all the paperwork but even then it’s not enough … you don’t have that special code you need.

However, someone you know can get it for you … for a consideration. And so on. My mate there observed what was happening over here now and shook his head. “With our example here, Man, why on earth would you want to lumber yourself with that?”

Short answer … we wouldn’t … but westerners are ignorant of the nuts and bolts of how communism takes over … how can it be otherwise? And so it’s a hot knife through butter. Part of it is suppression of Christian values which underpin a civilised western society. The number of ignorati in the west who utterly fail to understand that is jawdropping.

Against that is simply the cancer of wokery enabling all of it … and we’ve already seen many quotes on this:

And then we get to the end games. One is the financial crash … both in your own life but also the society economically crashing and still Burnham sends foreign aid. Another is the thousands of fighting age rapists and murderers with access to weapons … what do you think that could possibly be about? Who are they soon going to murder do you think, door to door?

Uprising? How? When?

Could we just have a bit of privacy, please?

Guido announces:

.o0o.

We simply ask that that privacy we've been so constantly campaigning for, worldwide will be respected and all you lowlife journos will go take a running jump.

Don't Worry About The Ones That Make A List, Worry About The Ones That Don't....

A group of teenage girls have said they feel "worthless" and "frightened" as a result of the extreme misogyny they regularly experience.

The students, from Tyneside, have spoken out after making a film about the language they endure at school and online. Many comments are too explicit to share, but they include threats of violence and rape often masked as "banter". One girl described how disturbed she had been after a "rape list" was made by boys in her school.

Because she was on it? Or because she wasn't? 

The government said it was "taking bold and decisive action to halve violence against women and girls", with changes being introduced from September to help teachers challenge misogyny.

Teachers seem to be co-opted into every barmy government scheme to bring forth a Brave New World, lately...

One girl told the BBC she felt "worthless" after learning of the "rape list" made by boys in her school. "Boys ordering girls, who they want to rape the most and then the least," she explained. "It is frightening because you don't know people's real intentions."

Catherine Marchant, CEO of Impact Family Services in South Tyneside, said young people could become unaware of abuse in real life if violent misogynistic attitudes were normalised in schools and on social media.

Marchant said her charity saw generations of women using its services, with breaking the cycle of abuse having to begin by educating young people. "We're almost having 13-year-old girls being raped by 13-year-old boys," she said.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, Catherine. 

"But nobody's told the girls that boys shouldn't do that to them, and in some cases nobody's told the boys that they shouldn't."

It's not going to work when their holy book and their culture and all the adults around them are telling them they can, is it? 

When we string the anomalies together, join some dots

... then 2 plus 2 again starts to = 4.

Anomalies … we notice them everywhere, esp. in this era now of things being just plain wrong, inverted, twisted.

And as online investigative pundits, if there’s a string of anomalies, we start asking questions after the third or fourth, don’t we … while certain types of “shutdowners” instantly fling “conspiracy theorists” or “far-right racists”.

UH huh. This one starts here:

And somewhere else:

Think she was referring to those Red Cross women handing packages to those gangs kidnapping Ceuta girls and raping them on top of hills. These Ceuta gangs:

A friend downunder wrote:

And I replied:

I just remembered:

And this:

Or the ad on youtube of some wimpy, wispy man saying to his dog good thing you ate my sneakers coz here’s some better ones to buy. Ineffectual men if white but if it needs masculine … always black. Wot, like in Ceuta?

Remember this?

Or this:

One of the rapegang victims at the inquiry, now redeveloping confidence:

There are all sorts of fragments above. You can choose this one or that and say “unreliable” but the cumulative effect of thousands of such reports?

And the second question … who is more likely to protect these vulnerable females? Man-hating feminazis such as Louise Haigh, plus feminised demi-men (usually vicious little bstds if they don’t get their way … ooo, scratch yer eyes out)? Are they going to defend you, ladies?

Especially against the Ceuta types in every town and hamlet across Britain now, let alone no-go cities such as Brummieland?

Have normies any concept whatever of that which these invaders have been invited in for? For what reason do you think? 🤔

What's 'Racist' Today?

 Would you believe, 'clean and tidy nails' instead of dayglo coloured talons of a length that would make a velociraptor feel inadequate? 

Online the “naked” look is credited as part of wider trends, including the “clean girl aesthetic” that has become synonymous with slicked-back hair and dewy skin. Dominated by wealthy, white women, it has been criticised for co-opting black and brown beauty habits. Ranking “naked” nails as more desirable than statement styles, especially when nails and nail art are so rooted in race, further taps into this, with some critics considering it a form of erasure. 

Nail art rooted in race? One for Pseud’s Corner, I think. 

Irene Shelley, the editor of Black Beauty and Hair magazine, says the “trend itself isn’t the problem: minimalism is a valid choice for anyone”. However, she says a problem arises when “a bare aesthetic gets coded as more sophisticated or more professional than a fuller, more expressive one that’s historically been coded as Black or working-class. Nails should be allowed to be a form of self-expression without a hierarchy attached to them.”

Just like visible tattoos, the freakishly long and gaudy fake nails affected by some black women are indeed a sign that you’d be mad to hire them! As well as being unsuitable for keyboard work, their personal hygiene routines must leave a lot to be desired! 🤢

Ateh Jewel, a beauty journalist and broadcaster, compares it to Coco Chanel making tanned skin desirable among the white upper class in the 1920s. “Beauty is just another way to see how culture reflects power, status and racial prejudices,” she says. For Jewel, who has “always loved a ‘naked’ nail as well as “colourful fun nail art”, her own personal preference is now colour. “I only wore black and had naked nails before the BLM movement. Now I’m leaning into nail art and wearing pink as I don’t adhere to old social structures any more.”

How brave! 

Arlay ... psy-op? Kabuki Theatre?

 Let’s start with a generality:

The charlatan was not, imho, only this Arlay himself, whom I believe may well have been “suicided”, a la Killery or letter agency … or else, as “our chap” at Unherdables pointed out – it was just one giant psy-op. Maybe he’s still alive.

How else can you get a massed “We are Charlie Hebdo” type thing going unless you have a sacrificial lamb? The people behind this whole Kabuki Theatre scamfest are nasty indeed. In fact, some people not generally given to overt religiosity have been using words such as “evil” and “demonic” and the perspicacious have noted it:

Fauci? Blair? Obama? And the normies come in like Eloi:

As Nick Dixon said: “All facts (about what Arday and promoters were up to) are lost in a torrent of emotion and identity.”

That’s why, until now, I’ve not bothered with the whole mendacious scamfest.
