Oh, Do Get Over Yourself!

The etiquette of when to offer your seat on public transport is some of the most complicated we’re forced to navigate – probably worldwide, but definitely in Britain, where most of us are easily mortified, and could then be trapped together, at least until the next stop, to endure the aftermath. When you factor in that it must be done in full view of numerous spectators, no wonder so many commuters pretend not to notice who is standing near them. Make a mistaken offer and you’ve insulted a stranger, to their face, in front of a live audience. You’ll carry the shame with you for ever, on some level, as anybody who has had their Good Samaritan moment ruined by the reply “I’m not actually pregnant, thank you very much” can attest.

As someone who has now reached the age where I am occasionally offered a seat (ewhich I usually decline with thanks because I only go a handful of stops), can I say what a load of utter bollocks this article is? 

Let’s agree from the off that those who choose priority seats (the ones clearly marked for people with a greater need to sit down), and then fall asleep or become engrossed in their phone/book/thoughts, are the absolute worst. If you sit there, you are entering into a moral contract. With great comfort comes great responsibility. You’re duty-bound to monitor your surroundings, and leap up if the need arises.

Have you ever been on a crowded train? Doesn't seem like it... 

The train track to hell is laid with good intentions – you may genuinely mean “Please do sit down, I care about your wellbeing,” but they will hear “You are ancient, or overweight, or perhaps both.” In a nutshell, you have to be pretty confident of the facts before you dare open your mouth.

People like you with attitudes like this are what has ruined commuting. Decrying basic good manners as somehow 'offensive' and shaming those who display them.

Choose your terrorist organisation of preference

There are known terrorist organisations such as Hamas, the three letter agencies in the west, gangs such as the WEF, Mexican drug gangs ... Obama was taught by one, led by one Bill Ayers ... universities are rife with them, students are highly susceptible, hence the wheeze of getting the most hopeless brains into university, owing huge amounts of money, accruing debt, making ends meet by antifa activities and the like, girls doing OnlyFans ... BLM is another.

Running these two again to give an idea of the sheer scale:

And then there are all the support services facilitating them ... easing their way through, even escorting them ... organisations such as these:

They themselves are not independent, in neither fear nor favour ... they're clearly beholden to, in thrall to, some supra-organising body.  In short, someone is pulling strings from afar, using money, blackmail and threat.  And this body is global.

So, while some sicko kid may have been the patsy, may even have been the Oswald and joined in, there were many others involved.  How good was Kirk's security?  How onside? Did he cross some line which sealed his fate, as with both Kennedys and Lincoln?

Not sure about Diana ... with Chas III's proclivity for checked table cloth headgear and allo snackbar, why would he have wanted to see her deathcult dalliance stopped? Or maybe it was Phil the Greek?  Who knows?  Maybe Chas really was the jealous hubby.

Then we get to councils, police and the rape gangs ... just as antithetical to society but there we're getting into another aspect ... moral degradation of a society ... again across the west. Is the target Christian values, is it the west itself?  Is it all to do with rich resources to be plundered, as with Russia?

......

A reminder, dear reader, that you're welcome to comment as Anon but if so, please invent a moniker to appear somewhere in your text ... it tells Watchers nothing, it does help the readers.

The Gravy Train Has Hit The Buffers

Publications aimed at LGBTQ+ and other diverse audiences are facing “good old-fashioned discrimination” as advertisers avoid them after political attacks on diversity and inclusion campaigns, editors have said. Senior figures at publications aimed at the gay community and other minority groups said a previous “gold rush” to work with such titles was over.

Nature is healing, at last. 

Tag Warner, the chief executive of Gay Times, said his publication, which had been growing digitally in the US, had lost 80% of its advertisers in the past year. It has also lost in excess of £5m in expected advertiser revenue.Warner, who has led the outlet since 2019, said his title’s growth had been accompanied by an enthusiasm from brands to embrace LGBTQ+ audiences. He blames an anti-DEI drive in the US for the dramatic shift.

Sure, people were happy to buy your rags but stopped immediatly Trump was electted. That's believable. Isn't it more likely it's just part of the general slowdown in the magazine market?

“I know that media and marketing is also going through a challenging year anyway, but when we’re thinking about other organisations that don’t talk to diverse themes, they’re not nearly as impacted as we are,” he said. “This is just good old-fashioned discrimination. Because discrimination doesn’t have to make business sense. Discrimination doesn’t have to be logical. Discrimination is discrimination.

It's not 'discrimination' if Mr Average decides he can only afford one magazine this week, and makes it 'Field and Stream' or 'National Geographic' instead of 'Horny Lumberjacks' is it? 

Nafisa Bakkar, the co-founder of Amaliah, a publication aimed at “amplifying the voices of Muslim women”, said there had been a “change in mood” among brands and advertisers. “There was this DNI [diversity and inclusion] gold rush,” she said. “It is, I would say, well and truly over.

Basic fact of business life, love: all bubbles burst. All fads have a shelf life. And I think most people are hearily sick of having the voices of Muslims amplified!

Mark Berryhill, the chief executive of equalpride, which publishes prominent US titles like Out and The Advocate, said some brands and agencies “may have been a little bit more cautious than they have been in the past”. However, he said it had so far meant deals had taken longer to be completed, in a tough economic climate.

It's the economy, stupid. Just like always. 

What sort of utter imbecility is this?

More vitally ... who is the imbecile who ordered it?  How did she get that way, the silly bint?

And even more vitally, how to stop the damage they're doing, esp. to children?

This Is Why The Migrant Hotel Protests Must Continue

A drunk Somali asylum seeker who spat at a police officer while staying in a migrant hotel has avoided punishment.

Who is surprised? The so-called justice system bends over backwards to excuse these savages. 

The asylum seeker was said to have been inebriated, having downed half a bottle of vodka and beers, and officers called in backup to restrain him.

Aren't most Somalis Muslim? 

As PC Browning took hold of Momad, the defendant launched a volley of spit which landed on his hand, Poole Magistrates' Court heard. The migrant, who continues to stay at the historic hotel despite being in the country for five years, was then arrested for assault on an emergency worker.

Here for five years and still not denied asylum. Is there anything slower than the asylum system in this country? 

He pleaded guilty to the offence at court, where it was heard he was already serving a six-week suspended prison sentence for a religiously aggravated assault on a member of the public.

*sigh* 

But because his latest offence took place before he was sentenced for the earlier offence in March, it was not taken into consideration as the magistrates issued their sanction.

Their 'Sanction' being ... nothing at all.

'He is an asylum seeker who gets quite depressed as he is not allowed to work. He has been in the UK since 2020 and accepts he has a problem with drink.'

Then deport him back to his Muslim, dry country - two problems solved!  

As of last month, there were some 91 criminal charges against migrants staying at the two hotels. It's a similar picture at the nearby Chine Hotel, a mile away, where another 25 charges against migrants were brought following a spate of alleged crimes in the town. A total of 116 charges were brought against 51 asylum seekers living across the three hotels near the seafront.

These hotel protests aren't going away, while this situation continues. 

When flags connect

Being formerly a member of the Witenagemot, flag being the CofStG, still our flag, how did that sit with others around the world, e.g. in Russia, in Sicily, in Australia, in the US? Well, in the company I found myself in … seamlessly.

There is this strange desired pacifism, getting along with our neighbours and cousins, which is very real but it was obvious in every country I’ve been in that there’ve been two main opponents … one being extreme national socialists and the other far left socialists … psychoWokerati.

In our town in Russia, I was seen as “na polovinu russki”, half Russian (they’d smile), in France, I insisted on speaking French in French shops, local language afap anywhere I was … when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Not dressing up as, just adopting the sane (sic) habits they did, e.g. fur outward coat in winter, fur hood … staying alive depended on that. Driving a Lada was no affectation, it was because there were parts stores and markets dotted around on every second road. It just stood to reason.

Yes, I reverted after returning in 2008 because there are things we wear, do, eat etc. … because it just makes sense to. No hard and fast rule, it is just how things are.

What I think has really shocked globopsycho and the leftWokerati is how Charlie Kirk’s murder, plus Iryna’s, plus Lola in Scotland, plus the revolt against the globo govt in Nepal has gone viral, has resonated with a huge number of people. So what if MAGA flies flags and fights for their nation? So what? Good on them, many of us back them, back Charlie, back Viktor Orban … and yet we’re loyal to our own flag.

Which flag? Well mine is the Cross of St George but I was not happy when some artists drew a union flag behind Lola Moir … it needed to be a Saltire. I for one was delighted when seeing people put up four flags … that cross, the saltire, the Welsh dragon, the union flag (Northern Ireland can take its pick) … were someone to run the Kernow flag, why not? Why bleedin’ not?

This was in Cairns, on the north-eastern cape of Australia:

Wherever you legally are, you respect that country, speak its language, adopt its lifestyle, respect its traditions, faith system … if you’re asked about yours, then reply but do not push it in any way. Those who refuse to respect a people in a land must be removed henceforth … for example, look at these creeps in Westminster, barricaded in:

And what about this?

Good luck and prayers to y’all marching today for the people of the land.

September 13th and the ruination of western youth

Woke girls, women, Woke left men too ... it was a man or men who pulled the trigger(s) on Charlie Kirk, it's the paid Antifa type who are doing the damage but it is these who are just as complicit ... Abbie Chatfield, Hannah Ferguson, Clementine Ford

Witness Erika Kirk's speech, full text across at UHC-WP:

Erika Kirk said, and I quote from the full speech:

"The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love. They should all know this: If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you had no idea. You had no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country, in this world."

However, these were the reported words of Charlie Kirk himself:

There were those in England, on X, who asked what has any of that to do with us?  Just some killing in America, another one. Helen below wishes to differ from that sentiment:

... and Annunziata, among others:

This is about the West as we knew it, folks and that's what September 13th in London is about.  I was speaking with one of the rape victims, now heads a chapter of the women's groups ... not going to London today, has a daughter, it's all been too much, she's exhausted.

Understood but those ablebodied and able please get into London if possible ... it's only en masse that anything can be changed. The creeps of globopsycho and the Fabian Wokerati understand "en masse".

Against that, yes, it's obviously a trap, the bad agencies will be looking to identify "ringleaders" ... and what?

How Can You Assess What You Can't Admit?

Teenagers who have moderate or severe period pain are much more likely to develop chronic pain as adults, according to research.

Shouldn't that be 'teenage girls'? They are, after all. the ones who menstuate.

Researchers said the findings should serve as a wake-up call to improve menstrual education, reduce stigma, and ensure young people have access to effective support and treatment early on.

Ensure 'young girls' have access, you mean? 

Academics at the University of Oxford analysed data from more than 1,100 participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children and found that, compared with those who did not have painful menses, those with severe period pain (dysmenorrhoea) at 15 years old had a 76% higher risk of chronic pain by the age of 26, while those with moderate period pain were 65% more likely to have chronic pain as adults. While previous research has focused on pelvic pain, the authors say this study, funded by the Medical Research Foundation and published in the Lancet Child & Adolescent Health journal, is the first to reveal a link between adolescent period pain and chronic pain in other parts of the body.

They really are going out of their way to avoid saying which sex they are talking about, aren't they? 

While anxiety and depression could play a role in the development of chronic pain as an adult, the study found this was only a minor factor. The researchers believe that greater “neuroplasticity” during adolescence could make teenage brains more sensitive to repeated pain signals, which could change how they process pain in the brain.

What changed how scientists and journalists process reality in their brain, that they can write an article that avoids clarity until almost half way down the page? Surely that's the bigger question?

Of Iryna Zarutska, Charlie Kirk, 911 and 7/7

… not to mention 7/10.

Was going to run something on Iryna K maybe, had not sorted out today’s post. Orphans is a strange site in that it has readers who will abhor these two days … then those, like TMZ, MSNBC and CNN who cheered the killings or at least excused them.

Konstantin Kissin, pundit on X and elsewhere, wrote this below which must serve as our obit for now:

I hope I'm wrong. But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever. Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past. I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful. But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else. Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.

Then there was that tragic girl Iryna whom the black thug snuffed out in the train and all blacks looked the other way then got out of there … but so did whites. The demonrats call the violence systemic, no one person to blame.

Bullsh … brainwashed or not by “the system”, somebody put that system in place, esp. in the radicalisation of blacks since 1997/8 and certainly since the invasion of the west … though it’s orchestrated by globopsycho behind it all.

Even 911 had that. It may or may not have been two hijacked planes but someone switched off the air defences that morning to enable those planes … if there even were planes.

And another factor … which world leader was in London on 7/7? Nethanyahu … others were at St Andrew’s. And on 911 … who was interviewed that morning about it, about plans for WTC7? Silverstein.

And don’t discount the deathcult, China, India in calculations, even Russia.

That hit on Charlie Kirk was not some old guy from the ground … on a university campus. An old Boomer? The hit came from a different building 200 yards away, which does ask certain questions which overshadow the 911 commemoration.

Ah yes … 911 … our sidebar has a picture I’m also running at our place. Might have been the Liberty Bell again.

Observe My Unshakeable Moral Authority

'As the mother of a murdered child, I demand you give me what I want!'

Esther Ghey, the mother of the murdered teenager Brianna Ghey, and the Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet are calling on Keir Starmer to legally ban smartphones in schools, warning current guidance against allowing phones has created a “postcode lottery”.

And we are all supposed to acquiesce , because who could deny a bereaved mother anything?

She said a ban would have “solved so many issues” for her daughter, who was “sucked away from society and into the online world where she was at risk of so many harms”.

She didn't have a daughter, though. She had a mentally challenged son, and she allowed him to think he could trsnsition into a girl. So if she cannot be honest about that, why should anyone trust her on this issue?

The government has resisted banning smartphones in schools, insisting headteachers are able to take their own actions. It issued guidance in 2024 that “schools should develop a mobile phone policy that prohibits the use of mobile phones … throughout the school day, including during lessons, the time between lessons, break times and lunchtime”. But subsequent research among 2,467 secondary schools in April by the children’s commissioner, Rachel de Souza, found that while 90% had some restrictions on phone use, only 3.5% banned phones from school grounds and only 7.9% required pupils to hand in their phones for the whole day.

So they were given the freedom to action thisas they saw fit, and because they haven't been as strict as these people would like, that freedom must be stripped from them and central government must step in. 

The new Phone Free Education campaign is calling for ministers to introduce a full legal ban including funding for schools to pay for a lockable pouch or similar alternative.

How about 'No'...? In fact, how about 'Fuck off!'?
