Maybe You Should Change Your Name..?

Because there's nothing liberal about this:

The human rights group Liberty is threatening to sue the government and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over the bitterly contested law of joint enterprise, arguing that it is discredited and racist in the way the authorities pursue it.

Or is it simply that the gang culture it seeks to prevent is more prevalent within certain races? Chicken/egg here... 

There have long been accusations, supported by academic studies and parliamentary inquiries, that the gang label is attached disproportionately and without adequate evidence to black and minority-ethnic young men.

Right, sure, ok... 

Lana Adamou, a lawyer at Liberty, said: “We all want our communities to be safe, and for our laws to treat us equally. But joint enterprise is overwhelmingly used against people from marginalised communities, especially young black men, and drags people unfairly into the criminal justice system.

“It’s completely unacceptable that there is still no official data being recorded about how the doctrine is used and who it is used against. By failing to do so, the justice system has been recklessly sweeping thousands of young black men into the prison system.”

Are we supposed to believe that the police simply arrest black and minority ethnic bus drivers, librarians and chemists who just happen to be present on the street when a gang of animals chase down a rival gang member with knives then?  

The right to be free of your impositions

It's clearly time to reaffirm something I've been thinking much on ... to reaffirm the society and its values which we want, not what the psychos want. 

Half as a joke, I once wrote "extremely moderate" in response to what my values were, as if anything I want means much but it does if it's also what others want and when there is a strong underpinning across society in times of trouble for those values.

And that's bourgeois values ... vilified values and my goodness, they're trying everything to break them down, to nauseate us.  As a young man of ignorance, which the young are ... knowing so much out of books, knowing nothing yet of life, knowing nothing yet of adult, pure, even agape love [see Adam's quotee's comment], the temptation is always to shock fuddy-duddies out of their 'complacency' because so many wimmin and so many of the young cannot stand anyone being happy with things already built, just enjoying them for what they are. 

For the young, the imperative is to break down in daring new ways [you think I was never young?] and for those wimmin ... it's always onwards and upwards, never being satisfied ... and that's wearing.  

Yes, I say to these people ... you can do both of those new, exciting things in new projects ... innovative, daring, fast, beautiful ... it need not be in the least Jacques Tati stultifyingly conventional ... but even were that cloth-eared existence, surrounded by material tat, something those people wanted, what bleedin' business is it of someone else to come along and do dirt on it?

A good strategy early, not when it's too late

 

As the demise of the Soviet Union showed, it's a very long term strategy and though it eventually gets a result if enough people join in in non-complying, the road to that point is bloody and nasty.

The ones with the guns and the armour do arrogantly ride over the people whom even our pro-people side call the sheeple.  Because what we're really dealing with are not rational people but those who've joined this lot, as expressed by Candace:

Does The 'Guardian' Realise What It's Inadvertently Published Here?

Sunita Ghosh Dastidar - a journalist and filmmaker, apparently - on the terrible injustice of foodbanks:

I grew up in Whinney Banks in Middlesbrough, one of the most deprived areas in England, with almost a third of children living in income-deprived households. My mum is a first-generation immigrant, and my parents had to start from nothing here. For a while, we were homeless – when my mum was heavily pregnant with my brother – and I took my first steps in a hostel for families.

Hmmm, OK. But since you grew up to be a journalist, it clearly worked. I guess you must be one of those hard working immigrants who triumphed without handouts and...

Wait! 

We were eventually moved from the homeless hostel into a brand-new council house a few streets away from the corner shop where my parents used to work.

Immigrants getting council houses? I thought that was 'a myth spread by the far Right' according to the progressive press? 

Such housing is available to far fewer people now.

Well, yes, and it's no wonder, isn't it? We ran out of supply! 

People like Mark and Kath are doing what they can and their resolve to help their local community by filling people’s stomachs should be commended. But we need political intervention rather than community intervention. I was partly lifted out of poverty because of the help I received through government funding for community services, and that’s what we need now.

You mean, you want the government to stick its hand even deeper into my pocket for people who come here for a free ride? No! We're not putting up with that any longer.

The climate scam

More and more comes out about the falsehoods underpinning the climate narrative, the stats fudging, the outright dishonesty:

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/04/18/met-office-changed-global-temperature-record-to-add-14-to-recent-warming-says-climate-scientist/

Satellite data show that global warming started to run out of steam two decades ago, but the U.K. Met Office’s record of surface temperature from 1975 was boosted by 14% at the end of 2020. At the same time, the period between 1880-1975 was cooled. The move accentuates the rise in the global temperature recorded in the 1980s and 1990s that forms the basis of much of the current hysteria about the so-called climate emergency.

The disclosure of the apparent warming and cooling is contained in the latest State of the Climatereport from Emeritus Professor Ole Humlum of the University of Oslo, and published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

The Woke are without conscience.

Does This Headline Not Concern Anyone?

I mean, if they don't even know the age of the alleged victim...?

A jury returned unanimous verdicts on Roger Robinson, 69, of Beachy Road, Crawley, on April 6 and found him guilty of fourteen counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault.

The jury returned a not guilty verdict on one count of rape.

*blinks* 

The jury heard that the abuse had taken place over a period of 17 years.

Her Honour Judge Shani Barnes told the jury it was hearing a “very complex” case for “several” reasons, not least the historic nature of the offences.

She had added that due to the lack of forensic evidence it was vital that the jury consider everything they had heard during the trial “in an analytical way”.

Does it sound to anyone else as if that occurred? 

Rolled back stone, painted eggs and choc or something else

[H/T Beach Milk on Gab]

In the US in particular, across the Protestant bible belt as it was, the term is Resurrection Day rather than Easter and the expression is: "He is risen!"

For the nature worshipping or at least celebrating, it's rebirth, spring, across the west it's celebrated the way you know, it's a joyous occasion whichever way it's looked at, except by the cabal, for whom it's a devastating blow.

Next Sunday is the Orthodox celebration I remember, when hardboiled eggs or drained shells are decoratively painted the week before.  Either way, church bells proclaim: "Khristos vos-kress'e," or "He is risen," followed by the response, "Voistinu voskrese!" Or, "Indeed He is risen!" 

I have some writing to do next weekend.

In world terms, it's far more than just commercial easter egg eating, though they're quite yum all the same. For billions, it's a most important day, maybe the most important day of the year, for me it's a day of historically continuing to research in a good mood and writing to you.

Greetings to all readers this UK morning in whatever form, from Julia and me, also on behalf of our other authors.

Easter 2022

Whether it's a solemn occasion or a time for a welcome break ...

... Julia and I wish you, on behalf of Grandpa and Churchmouse, a happy easter!

Issues with free speech

Before even starting this post - to put "inverted commas" around "free speech" in the heading or not?  Why?  Well ... when enemies of free speech are breathing down one's neck, threatening to wreck one's webpage, one does look at it a bit more closely than the average web surfer.

All right, look at this series of screenshots below.

Question ... can that be substantiated?  Answer is one of two things ... ask for substantiation of the claim, or else just ban the above at your site in order to protect Gettr and keep behaviour "ethical".  We saw tweets on what Gettr did when DJT first started with it.  Also - is he "the Donald", "Donald", "DJT", "Trump" or "Drumpf"?  The choice brands the writer.

Question ... is Gettr scared of being shut down, therefore another free speech outlet is snuffed out ... or are they "censoring" in the bad sense of the word to us?  All right:

That's one of the Frank Quotes.  My view as a website admin is that it's easily substantiated or debunked from other sources.  What of this one?

Which five?  Not named.  Is that playing safe re litigation or is it unsubstantiated assertion?  It needs at least a source link or two.

Does that not lay the onus on Dr. Malone to substantiate?  Ah, not so fast.  Under EU law, the blog writer or admin is also liable.  So is the commenter below.  But we're not in the EU.  You think so?  The law has not changed.  There was no Brexit, only WA3.  Obviously, this site believes Dr. Malone ... for now ... his bona fides are good with us.  Not with the cabal and apologists though.

That was on Gab.  Clearly an opinion, not a libel or slander of person[s].  Ah, but it's an opinion which those quoting "community guidelines" want removed.

What of humour?  The in-joke?  You'd need to know the photoshopped FBI reference to get the humour.  Were I not to use that acronym just now, would that make the joke more acceptable?

On Twitter, I reposted a lady, Emerald Robinson, without giving my own opinion, and she said she believed Chauvin, not Floyd.  I was banned for reposting her.  Who's right or wrong there?

All right, Gab is the closest to a free speech platform going just now [IMHO].  There are some people flooding the timeline just now and the word "jew" appears often.  There's another where the word "muslim" appears often.  We all attack "the Woke" and quote examples.

Should Gab come down?  This post will go up at N.O. and OoL ... watch the quite different treatments of comments.

When all these issues are resolved, then the blog has a firm policy.  Does it even need one?

Safety, and Human Life, in South Africa

 

I know that it was a long time ago, and I also know the black man is now in charge (or at least allegedly in charge) but the basic truth of the tale as I recounted it still applies.
