Of Bailey at the BofE, Rupert, Monty Python and Ancient Rome

Rupert wrote, two days ago:

The Governor of the Bank of England must resign. Earlier this month, I was provided with evidence stating that Andrew Bailey had sent this correspondence to Bank of England staff following my criticism of a Bank internship scheme that specifically excluded white applicants. Bailey sent this message to Bank staff, using Bank of England systems. "Mr Lowe has stooped to a level no politician should ever stoop to. It’s entirely regrettable and frankly we should have no time for this sort of thing." Strict rules specifically prevent Bank staff from acting politically - which this evidently is. I have contacted Mr Bailey, who has just responded with this. "In my message to staff of 24 October, to which you refer in your email, I made these points clear to my colleagues across the Bank who may have had concerns about your comments condemning these programmes as ‘vile’ and as 'racist filth’." This is outrageous. I made fair criticisms of an internship scheme that specifically banned white people from applying. The Bank's independence is of absolute importance, the governor must be impartial and uninvolved in politics - particularly not to use the bank's influence to spread any political messaging against a sitting MP. This is disgraceful behaviour. Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, must resign or be sacked.

Lord Pearson telling the government that the Grooming Gang problem should not be laid at the door of Pakistani Men but with Muslim Men. Therefore the problem is religious and not ethnic. Hear the gasps from the chamber at the end.

In Monty Python's Dead Bishop sketch, the housewife says to the officer: Society is to blame."

"We'll be charging them too."

There's truth in that though. Much as people might not like it, there was a code of ethics underpinning western society even as recently as the mid 60s which the people of the time at least paid lip service to ... see Profumo, Ward, Christine Keeler and Mandy R-D.

The loss of that code, which so many critics saw as just a Sodom and Gomorrah danger, was vastly more than that ... it was hordes coming south to ancient Rome, it was also a different flood of hordes up through the Iberian Peninsula, it was the later Gates of Vienna ... the badly educated person today, brought up on Fabian Wokery at home and in schools (see Enoch Burke) is truly ignorant of past ... condemned to repeat the same invasion and dark ages as before.
