Surely The Bigger Question Here Is...

A convicted terrorist has been sent back to jail after hiding his job as a lorry driver from police.

Andrew Rowe, 50, failed to declare the vehicles he was driving while employed by Serco as a rubbish collector in 2019, in breach of a notification order.

...why the hell is Serco employing convicted criminals to drive their vehicles? I thought we had a plethora of post lockdown job-seekers?

Prosecutor Peter Ratliff said: 'This defendant lost his job as a consequence of these proceedings.'

Why was he even given it in the first place? Doesn't anyone think before they employ people any more? 

Or is there some quota for employing ex-cons that gets companies grant money or kudos from the government?

Why does it take people so long?

One of the most galling things is when various people tumble to what's going on and understand that those people supposedly in your political camp are in fact anything but.

The enemies of conservatism in the old sense [small c, classic liberal] can see through a Cameron or Johnson immediately but it's far harder to see through your own:

That Delingpole and Kathy Gyngell have now woken up 15 years late is a blessing in one way I suppose but why did it take so, so long?  We knew Cameron was no conservative in 2007 [see my posts from that time].  We knew Johnson was a global cabalist because of the moniker One Nation Conservative, all capitalised. We knew May was bad news, no one should have voted Tory last time, they should have voted TBP and would have if Farage had not fallen for the lies.

And it's not as if it's only in the UK.  Downunder, Tony Abbott was shafted after his boat people policy and the creepiest of the creeps came in after that, only to be replaced with worse now.  There was no accident here to the Corbyn scare, the SNP scare, all the other scares.

The Political Cowardice of The West

The Reds, the Communists, the Dictatorial bunch who still rule through either terror, AK-47s, or Stasi tactics are getting away with their illegal actions, on a truly massive scale. From the invasion and annexation of parts of Georgia after the five day War by Russia, which was followed by the invasion and annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and the Donbass region, to the backup and political leverage handed to Belarus after the hijack of a Ryanair plane, the pattern has always been the same. 

The Communists do exactly as they desire; and all that the West provides are words. Sanctions? What  use are sanctions, when all they do is inconvenience the populations held under force by the Reds?

Remember Tibet? That beautiful, remote Country which was so peaceful that it did not even have a standing Army, or even a volunteer Defence Force? That peaceful Nation was invaded by the Communist Chinese Armies in 1951, and what did the rest of the World do in response? Sweet F**k All! The ONLY good thing which emerged from the Chinese invasion was the emergence on to the World Stage of the ONLY man who, in mine own opinion, is worthy of the title ‘Holy’. 

I refer of course to his Holiness the Dalai Llama. As I asked before, what did we hear from the ‘Liberal’ West? Nothing, nothing at all. They have even been edited out of existence by Google, as their Maps just show an area inside China labelled Tibet, and f**k all more.

So why am I writing this short diatribe? Because of a list of Olympic medals being won at the deserted Japanese stadium and sports fields. Not being any sort of a sporting fan myself, I was just curious to check all the headlines about the ‘haul’ of medals won and expected by the GB team. 

But my gaze went past the ‘usual suspects’, the flags of USA, China, the Japanese host nation along with the farcical addition of the Russian Olympic Committee bunch (ROC) flag which the IOC allowed to compete out of sheer cowardice. But my gaze travelled down, and discovered the existence of a whole nation unknown to anyone. Yep, at 17th place in the medals table, this nation is called, by the International Olympic Committee, Chinese Taipei.

So where do you reckon this unknown nation is sited? Is it in the Atlantic Ocean, or the Pacific Ocean? Is it near to Hawaii? Is it, because of its name, part of Communist China? Nope, folks, none of these things. Because of America’s cowardice, because the rest of this cowardly world just doesn’t want to either upset Red China or just doesn’t want to make waves, a whole Independent Nation has to be renamed. Because Red China insists, Taiwan is never actually acknowledged. 

A whole, truly democratic Nation has to travel under false pretences because a bunch of geriatric dictators, with the backing of nuclear weaponry and the largest standing army in the world, says so, Taiwan doesn’t actually exist! I really wish that the Republic of China; a.k.a  Chinese Taipei would win a great many more medals, and then show  the world that they not only exist; they show that Democracy can beat out Communism every time! 

They Aren't Here To Protect You...

A man will appear in court charged with criminal damage and dangerous driving weeks after video emerged of a parked car being tossed into the air by a digger after it was left blocking a farm gate.

Good! Maybe next time the scum will think twice about blocking the...

Wait, hang on, surely not...? 

The 57-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident at a farm in Teesdale, which went viral last month.

Yup! The cops arrested the farmer driven to this act by the selfishness and arrogance of the scum who repeatedly block his property. 

And why not? Look at it from a lazy modern cop's point of view; here's a suspect who has filmed his actions, is easy to locate, is almost certainly admitting to it, even proud of it, and well, you're supposed to be non-judgemental about concepts like 'right and wrong' these days, or so Hendon teaches you...

The force said a 20-year-old arrested on suspicion of assault during the same incident on June 5 has been released under investigation while inquiries continue.

While someone who won't admit any wrongdoing and could disappear is too much trouble. 

And still they ponder why they are losing the respect of every law-abiding man, woman and child in the country... 

We don’t need another Holocaust Memorial.

The Holocaust already is embedded in World History, so why spend £100 million building yet another Memorial, to be built amidst the uprooted trees and bulldozed grass, slap bang in the middle of the British Parliamentary Estate. 

They had a hugely expensive Public Enquiry, just about every local resident and many influential community groups spoke against it, Even I, a lone voice from Durham, was allowed to speak my piece. But it was all a waste of breath, time and energy. Why? Because there was too much political weight for this lunatic project, From the wallet-stuffed back pockets (virtue of Lex Greensill) of ex-PM David Cameron, through the heavyweight presence of Eric Pickles and Ed Balls, to the equally heavyweight presence of the majority of British Jewry: naaaah; it was a foregone conclusion.

But if we step back just a little, and examine the real motives behind this farrago, the reader might just discern a nasty pattern emerging. Just check the  architect and his plan. His ‘Unique Selling Point’? Well, he’s Black, and we can’t turn a member of that particular minority down, even though he brought out a second-hand plan with which to foist it on an uncomplaining British public.

We already have a Holocaust Memorial; its in the form of a big block of stone, engraved with the simple message “HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL GARDEN” sited in Hyde Park. It is understated, unpretentious: fitting in its task of remembrance of  the most heinous crime in the history of modern man. You have to go searching for it, the trees and grasses hide it until you come across it.

And what, might the reader ask, will we get for our £100 millions (plus)?

We’ll get a Security Nightmare, with heavily-armed police and security presence surrounding a terrorists’ wet dream. There’ll be a queue to get off the ‘effing bus, a queue to get your tickets checked, then another queue to get your backpacks and bags x-rayed, and yet another queue for anyone with a beard and brown skin (the usual suspects) to be subjected to a humiliating full pat-down and grope search. And all, that before you go down the steps towards? The Learning Centre! 

These people haven’t even the sense to develop some new cliches.
As I stated, at the end of the video which saw my twelve minute-long argument at the Enquiry (2hrs. &n 28 mins:)-

We do not need, as called for by the ex-Prime Minister David Cameron and his Holocaust Commission, a new memorial which should be “striking and prominent, as well as respectful, interactive, and educational”. As all the participants in the Inquiry must know, we have the entire published history of the world at our literal fingertips: courtesy of Internet-connected smart phones, tablets and computers. We do not need to be ‘educated’ by some Establishment bunch who reckon that they know better than others what to push into the minds of the inquiring. When the very term “Educational” is but two steps removed from the ‘Re-education’ in Orwell’s ‘1984’.
What we do need is to send copies of ‘The Scourge of the Swastika’ to every school, college and University, and make them part of the Syllabus, along with a devastating video named ‘Holocaust: Night will Fall’, and the instruction should be that EVERY student should watch it, in class or hall.

Now that might be the true ‘Education’!

Who's behind it?

Think we need to face some realities about what we can face up to and how we prefer to have things.  You see, sooner or later, you are going to have to face them, as they're going to come to you, overtake you, swamp you.

For example, John Ward opens today with a question with a trigger word in there:

Self Censorship Isn't Leadership...

Christian Horner has been accused of giving ‘racists an excuse to let fly their vitriol and evil’ at Lewis Hamilton following his criticism of the Mercedes driver after Sunday’s British Grand Prix.

We can't criticise someone now if they have a touch too much melanin? No matter what they do? 

Lord Hain, vice-chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Formula One, believes Horner will ‘regret’ the remarks he made in the wake of Hamilton’s 180mph collision with Max Verstappen on the opening lap of the Silverstone race.

So did he say something racist? 

‘I am not suggesting that Christian was implying anything racist in what he said. He was talking in pure racing terms and not racist terms and that is obvious.’

If it's 'obvious', why are you complaining? 

‘I hope it was something said in the heat of the moment when Christian was feeling aggrieved. But these are moments when leadership is required and not intemperate outbursts.’

Like the sort of leadership you're showing, in demanding that if the person you feel requires criticism is black, you shouldn't criticise them? 

Global cooling, anyone?

Three articles, the first by Tallbloke in the light of the recent heatwave:

Over the 11-year solar cycle, the sun’s heat and visible light fluctuate, as does its production of invisible UV, which varies much more than the tenth of a percent change in total solar output. It’s thought that changes in solar UV irradiance cause wind shifts in the stratosphere (the layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere), which in turn induce blocking in the tropospheric jet stream via a feedback effect.

Blocking can also stem from other mechanisms. In the North Atlantic at least, a 2008 research paper found that during periods of low solar activity, blocking events in more eastward locations are longer and more intense than during higher solar activity.

Right now we’re entering a stretch of diminished solar output, signified by a falloff in the average monthly number of sunspots as depicted in the next figure.

The decline in the maximum number of sunspots over the last few cycles likely heralds the onset of a grand solar minimum, which could usher in a period of global cooling.

No, It's A Stain On Your Organisation's Reputation...

Former Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Trotter (Ed: Surely not..?!) last week described the Wembley scenes as 'a stain on our country's reputation'.

Why? Like millions of other people, I was sitting at home watching it, not taking part. And millions of others were having a meal out, watching TV, painting the bedroom, reading a book...

Why should it be 'a stain on our reputation'? 

The Metropolitan police farce, however, has questions to answer:

The male Metropolitan Police officer, who has not been named, had been speaking about the chaotic scenes at the London stadium during England's match against Italy on July 11.

The officer told The Times that he and his colleagues had not been 'allowed' to use robust deterrents as senior members of the force were reluctant to give the go-ahead.

He told the publication: 'The best we did was manhandle them down the ramps away from the stadium...

'It's all about the brand image. It is just annoying we are held back from doing our job. We are in public order gear for a reason.'

Do I detect the cold, clammy hand of the Dame of Disaster herself here? 

The officer also made a series of claims to suggest that authorities were not adequately prepared.

He said that many officers attending were hesitant due to being newly trained in public order policing.

Funny, when I'm newly trained in something, I can't wait to put it into practice. What sort of people are they hiring here? 

As Five Eyes become Four Eyes and Big Tech are just prats

Torquaymada [wonderful moniker] was the chap at the other place who picked up on this:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/26/the-intelligence-branch-and-big-tech-say-the-quiet-part-out-loud-facebook-twitter-microsoft-google-and-big-tech-writ-large-will-monitor-platforms-and-report-extremist-content-to-five-eyes-intelli/

... which I posted on Gab:

In fact, I was looking for an excuse to run this below but lacked the specific prattiness of Big Tech and Five Eyes until now:

Anyway, Arden, NZ's version of Cortez of the Squad, has shifted her allegiance to China instead, being the communist she is, and thus it is now Four Eyes.

Well, Four Eyes, I'd just like to ask this - does it not seem a tad incongruous that you're coming after patriotic, ordinary folk, in fact largely centrist/conservatives such as those who marched all over the western world on Saturday, yet you protect the real terrorists whom we won't name as it's a crime but have a look at the start of any football game and you'll see them worshipped ...?

Now fair dos - Google/Blogger have been pretty good with us here till now and it is FB/Twitter who are the real prats at this time. In return, we undertake to do the right thing by our hosts as far as we are able.
