If At First You Don't Succeed....

...stick on a wig and some lippy, and try again!

A trainee firefighter has been accused of jumping the queue to qualify after they failed to pass the physical exam as a man and then said they were changing gender to 'take advantage of lower pass marks' required by female candidates.

*gets the popcorn* 

The candidate, known as David, initially failed to pass the exam as a man by not achieving a high enough score. But shortly after receiving the news, it has been claimed the firefighter then announced they were changing gender.

Just like that? Yes, apparently. This is Spain. 

According to the rules in Spain, a woman can qualify by achieving a lower score in the physical tests because of the strength differences between sexes. It comes as Spain introduced its Trans Law last year, which allows anyone to legally change gender without medical evaluation or justification on psychological grounds.

Well, you made your beds, senors, now you get to lie in them!  

These evil muvvers most certainly want war

… and I’m not sure they’re too particular between whom … in foreign lands, civil war here, revolution perchance … all the while thumbing their noses at “the plebs”, meaning those not of the cabal, including even moneyed players.

That’s the only conclusion I and others can reach after these four screenshots below … from here, from the US where it just blew up yesterday, plus one from the Spectator, Oz.

We have this curious situation where we’re all concerned, each in his or her own country, for his or her own country, for our place in that … but at the same time, this is occurring in every western country … by design … see the similarity of tone in each, from different parts of the world.

Really, it’s no accident, not least in the mass influx of “guests” … fighting age male. And through it all is a consistent pattern of out and out lying to the assembly, to the voters. In Britain,the latest is the WASPI ladies … in the US is Johnson turning his back on his words from months ago … and trying to brazenly defend this porkbarrelling before Christmas … which at least is Christmas again in 2024.

The ever present question is the one posed by the global cabal behind the puppets … deriding us … wotchagonnadoaboutit, eh?

Isn't It Time They Faced Charges Of Aiding And Abetting?

A schizophrenic artist stabbed a dog walker to death after being allowed out of a mental hospital despite a warning that she had ‘discussed murdering people’, an inquest heard today. Emma Borowy, 32, was sectioned after stealing and slaughtering two goats in a ‘witchcraft’ ceremony. But doctors continued to grant the mother-of-one short spells of leave from the unit despite Borowy repeatedly absconding and twice being found armed with a knife.

Yes, it's this case.

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Dilraj Sohi insisted that ward staff would have asked police for any ‘relevant’ information. He confirmed he hadn’t met Borowy before granting her leave on August 4, having just taken over as her doctor. Asked by senior coroner Tanyka Rawden if this was ‘acceptable’, Dr Sohi said ward notes assessed her as ‘settled’ in preceding days.

Then why are you collecting a salary for not doing your job and actually meeting the people you're supposed to be assessing? 

Coroner Ms Rawden asked the psychiatrist whether the speed of her deterioration made him ‘reflect’ on whether Borowy should have been granted leave. Dr Sohi replied that he had ‘reflected a lot’, but that he would probably have approved it even if he had assessed her face-to-face first.

WTAF? 

‘We do live in hope that people will improve when we try to work with them,’ he added.

And everyone else takes the risk caused by your hopeless naivety, of course. 

Mr Leadbeater was described by his family as a ‘good, hard-working and decent man’ whose job was to drive children with special needs to school.

Why should Sohi continue to be employed? Indeed, why should he not face charges of aiding and abetting Mt Leadbetter's murder? If they had to face genuine consequenses for their decisions, they'd make better ones. 

It’s that nativity time again

My comment on DAD’s item was:

Grand idea at the naturalisation exam, in French language … explain the Nativity story, whether or not you buy it. Another question is to explain laïcité, whether or not you buy it, also the St Bartholomew’s massacre, whichever side you’re on, also the foreign legion, perhaps Vietnam, Algeria.

And DAD’s item:

This year, again, the installation of a nativity scene in the courtyard of the town hall of Beaucaire, in the Gard, is causing controversy. After the Human Rights League (LDH) filed a legal appeal, the town will have to explain itself on Wednesday, December 18, before the administrative court of Nîmes. “There are citizens who want to be able to go to the town hall, to get a birth certificate, for a public service, and who do not want to have a religion imposed on them, whatever it may be. We are in France, a secular country, with the separation of church and state,” justified the LDH lawyer, Sophie Mazasse, in an interview with France Bleu Gard Lozère.

[What a feeble argument, Sophie, ‘your citizens’ walk in the public square with Christmas lights without worries.]

Do We Need To Book 30,000 One Way Flights, Home Office?

The Home Office would like to facilitate the return of refugees to Syria, a minister has said, saying about 6,500 asylum claims had been suspended as the government waited to assess the fallout from the end of the Assad regime.

And what about the ones already here? Claiming asylum from a regime which is no more?

Homsi is one of nearly 30,000 displaced Syrians in the UK celebrating the fall of Assad and what Keir Starmer described as his “barbaric regime” over the weekend, when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham rebels seized power in a fast-moving offensive.

Shimale’s story is similar to Homsi’s. He came to the UK in 2016 because he would have been imprisoned if he had stayed. He said: “I’m sure I can [return to Syria] now. With Assad away, I will be able to go back.”

Ruba Sulaiman Khaled, a trainee solicitor and influencer from Stockport who has been unable to return to Syria since 2011, said she hoped there would be a “revolution, a new start for Syria” and that it was a time to “establish the country from the ground up”.

Anyone taking bets on how many will actually go back? 

The impossibility of governing by Party

Was just looking at these two ... one in Britain, one in the States:

The second was by an Xer called Publius.  With the first, there really can be conflicting realities the moment you plan to be an alternative party ... I'm not Nigel's greatest fan but what June says above is probably so ... he's the flagship ... but at the same time, whilst the council election results were good in a few areas, with wins over Labour, there's the old issue of "close but commendable" second in other, usually Tory seats of power.

With the other, Johnson has shown himself to be distinctly iffy on important matters ... not necessarily this one, as it's "sources said" again ... plus there are reports that hardline Hegseth, after talking to Senators one on one, has softened his stance on certain issues such as women on the front line, plus LBGwhatever "rights" ... which is clearly against the MAGA platform they were elected on.

Broadening this ... if your personal manifesto on a dozen issues is then broken into subdivisions of issues within issues ... what chance that if every voter were tasked on his/her stance on every sub-issue, that there'd be uniform agreement across the range ... even between two people?

So how can a Party put out a manifesto, have a platform it runs on, when that involves compromising your stance on various important matters? It seems to me to bring in two other things ... proportional representation, plus some sort of qualification to vote based on merit.

Which is, of course, fraught.  Plus the instability of minority coalition govts is a known-known ... as distinct from Starmer having a massive majority with from 20 to 25% of the eligible national vote?

I see no solutions here, only least bad compromises.

Why Can’t We Do This?

The three Gardai - Irish police officers - walk down the rows of passengers on the bus, a few kilometres south of the border with Northern Ireland. Observing this is the head of the Garda National Immigration Bureau, Det Ch Supt Aidan Minnock. “If they don't have status to be in Ireland, we bring them to Dublin,” he explains. “They're removed on a ferry back to the UK on the same day.”

And why is Ireland doing this now, when they've long been a welcoming country to Third World trash? 

Asylum applications in Ireland have risen by nearly 300% so far this year compared to the same period five years ago. A spike in arrivals from the UK has been driven by various factors, among these the UK’s tougher stance post-Brexit, including the fear of deportations to Rwanda, as well as Ireland’s relatively healthy economy. Most asylum seekers coming from the UK to the Republic of Ireland enter the country from Northern Ireland, as - unlike the airport or ferry routes - there is no passport control. The Garda checks along the 500km-long (310 miles) border are the only means of stopping illegal entry.

Heh! Sooner or later, the taxpaying population has had enough of what progressive policies are turning their country into...

In the village of Dundrum, County Tipperary - population 221 - a group of locals attempted to block the arrival of asylum seekers at the gates of a former hotel in August. The proposal to house up to 277 people at Dundrum House, which hasn’t operated as a hotel since 2015, would double the local population. Locals worry that it will be a permanent fixture.

“How can our government not engage properly with us?” asks Andrea Crowe, a local teacher and protester who has frequently spoken in public. She cites concerns over housing, health and education provision for the community.

None of which will be made any easier by importing the 'new Irish' in huge quantities.  

So why indeed are we paying compensation to former criminals?

We learn this morning that homosexuals who were justly dismissed from service in the past with Her Majesty’s Armed Forces because they broke the law against Homosexuals; are to receive compensation and possible restoration to the rank previously achieved.

My question is simply:Why?

They knew that they were breaking the Law when they were  serving, they knew the consequences, but they did not resign, but instead waited until they were ‘outed’ before being dismissed from the Service they were serving in.

I repeat, they knew they were breaking the Law which governed their behaviour; so why on this Earth should we, as taxpayers, fund this weird ‘compensation’?

Definition of a “human right”

There’s a thing we hear chanted about “manifest destiny”, a political invention to justify outrageous intrusion … and another one used to justify, to cover up, to exonerate, is “human rights”.

Which is not to say that the U.S. Founding Fathers should not have written it to aspire to, just as Christians have the gospels to aspire to, though close to unachievable, just as this Magna Carta thing sounded good at the time.

There are at least three glaring dangers though imho:

1.  What about aspirations bundled in with it which a large proportion of the population do not embrace, no way, e.g. communistic talking points a la Starmer?

2.  All well and fine stating our own aspirations but unless backed by brute force, by political will, then that stairway lies on the whispering wind.

3.  And if the enemy’s aspirations involve dispossessing the industrious who have built nest eggs for posterity, then right there is a set of enemies who will ultimately tear down the communist ideal … people start asking, strongly, en masse:

But if people are not willing to put themselves at least partly in danger to defend their own aspirations such as industriousness, incentive, stability, protection of what is ours, then a rough and neanderthal set of thugs and vandals are most certainly going to tear them all down, steal them, give them to the feckless bottom feeders.

As we ourselves moan our way into penury and slavery.

More Political Upheaval in Europe

An ultranationalist, Moscow-friendly Nato critic is set to face a centre-right candidate in the runoff of Romania’s presidential elections after a shock first-round result that has upended the country’s politics and could jeopardise its support for Ukraine.

It seems voters everywhere have finally had enough of left-leaning governments, and want some adults back in charge. 

With 99.98% of votes counted, Călin Georgescu, an independent who has praised Vladimir Putin as “a man who loves his country”, was on 22.9%, with the reformist Elena Lasconi, of the Save Romania Union (USR), second on 19.17%. The result, one of the biggest electoral upsets in Romania’s post-communist history, triggered the swift resignation as leader of the country’s centre-left, pro-EU party of prime minister Marcel Ciolacu, the pre-ballot frontrunner, who finished third on 19.15%.

That shows a lack of faith in your vision, doesn't it? 

The election focused largely on Romania’s soaring cost of living: the Black Sea country has the EU’s biggest share of people at risk of poverty, as well as the bloc’s highest inflation rate and largest budget deficit, at 8% of economic outlook. Georgescu said on Facebook after he had voted that he was standing “for those who feel they do not matter, and actually matter the most”. Later, he said the results were “an extraordinary awakening” of the people.

Long may it continue! Why, we might one day see it here, too.
