RACIST GETS BOOST

 As the anti-EU United Kingdom Independence Party closed with Labour in the polls (27%, 30% -- leaving Conservatives and Liberals trailing on 20% and 8%), Ukip’s founder, Dr Alan Sked, insisted that the UK’s nationalist leader Mr Garage was a “dim, alcoholic racist” who called a n*gger a nigger (Sunday Mail, 20 iv).

Dr Sked also claimed that Mr Farage admired Russian president Vladimir Putin because ‘Putin is clearly a nasty piece of work and Nigel probably identifies with that’. Thus was explained the 27% of Brits voting for Farage rather than for the debt-running peecee pooftahs of the British political mainstream – let alone for the wild exaggerations and bitterness of Dr Shed.

    So why were so many shifting to Ukip? A sample list from one of several ‘Kippers’ to {yes!} the ‘lib’/lab Guardian (21 iv):

UKIP sovereignty and democracy v Liblabcon oligarchy
Smaller v big state
Sovereign v Britain in a superstate
Lower tax and spend v higher tax and spend
No political correctness or multiculturalism v political correctness and multicultural extremism
Defend Britain v illegal and unnecessary wars
Functioning democracy v broken democracy
Keep nation state v EU superstate
Controlled v uncontrolled immigration
Deal with illegal immigrants v let 1 million illegal immigrants stay
Welfare as a short term basic emergency v welfare as a lifestyle
Lower tax and spend and balanced books v higher tax and spend and soaring state debt
Common sense Britain v cronyism, quangocracy, charitocracy, bureaucracy.
Britain first v Britain last.
No instant immigrant benefits v immediate immigrant benefits
EU exit v EU
Emergency humanitarian aid v £60 billion every 5 years.
NHS with fewer managers and higher standards v NHS cronyism
Tough on Law & Order v Soft on Law & Order
No unnecessary foreign wars v EU/US expansionism


HEALTH CORRECTNESS TAKES A KNOCK

World Health Organisation alcohol expert Dr Kari Poikolainen, who had analysed scores of studies across decades of research into the effects of alcohol, broke with latter-day puritanism to urge people to take at least a bottle of wine per day – more in the case of men and experienced drinkers (Indie, 19 iv).

Apparently the endless anxieties and fat salaries of health lobbyists were quite unnecessary – and this was without Dr Poikolainen correcting for people under-reporting their actual levels of drinking when quizzed by white-coated researchers and doctors (thus artificially lowering health-fadists’ estimates of ‘healthy’ levels of consumption).

Express columnist Leo McKinstry added to the gaiety of nations by recalling Churchill’s observation that he had taken more out of alcohol than alcohol had taken out of him (21 iv).

{That drinking had been licensed by Jesus and St Paul was increasingly forgotten as state-funded environmentobabbling became one of the improving/idealistic replacements for religion.}


FROGS HOIST BY OWN PETARD  

As multiculti France became famous for the mugging of tourists at cashpoints (e.g. near Notre Dame cathedral – Daily Mail, 22 iv) by gangs of gypsy children who would ‘swarm’ on victims, authorities began to despair, annoying anti-racist idealists. Charity and human rights groups were enraged when a leaked police memo called for the 'systematic eviction' of Roma from the centre of Paris. The leak followed the country's Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, saying that the ‘travelling communities’ of (mainly) Romanians and Bulgarians 'cannot integrate' and should be deported. A spokesman for the charity group Catholic Help described the note as a 'scandal', saying that it 'stigmatised a poor community' and amounted to 'racial profiling'-- something which was illegal in France.


WHO’S A NAUGHTY RACIST?

 As Ukip’s Nigel Farage put out anti-immigration advertisements demanding ‘British jobs for British workers’ and was thus called racist by a Labour peer (the unheard-of Lord Dimwit), commentators soon recalled who had first made that demand in exactly those words. Yes, it was Labour PM Gordon Brown at the Labour Conference of ix 2007.



{Brown subsequently mended his non-peecee ways a bit too well and had infamously gone on in 2010 to be caught calling a middle-aged Labour woman voter a “bigot” as she worried by Eastern European migration to Britain.}


PEOPLE CAN BEAT ‘AFFIRMATIVE ACTION’

 America’s Supreme Court upheld a state electorate’s right to ban the use of race in public university admissions, a decision that could rekindle the debate over flagrantly anti-White ‘affirmative’ racism and could clear the way for similar ballot initiatives across the US. The justices, in a 6-2 ruling, said they possessed no authority to strike down a Michigan law that had allowed voters to decide in 2006 that race-based preferences must play no role in public education, hiring and contracting (Washington Times, 22 iv).


WORLD COULD BEAT MUSLIM EXTREMISM

 Rev A.R.P. Blair said the West should give up antagonizing Russia and China and concentrate on defeating Islamic terrorism (Guardian, 23 iv). {Rev Tone, President of Drawing All Faiths Together (D.A.F.T.), had organized failed ‘war on terror’ in Afghooniland and Eyeraq and sweet-talked his way to a £70M fortune from Arab businessmen hoping to keep the worst Muesli religious insanity under control while they made money; but he had yet to propose – let alone implement – any plan for blowing up mosques when Mueslis killed Christians or even for kicking out or just withholding welfare benefits from murderous mad mullahs found in the West.}


RACE EXISTS

 As Cornwall won ‘national minority’ status from HMG (according to its interpretation of EU Balkanizing codswallop, and thus promising protection and funding of the Cornish language, religion and folkways), there was happy chatter about the “Cornish race,” people, heritage, and personality (BBCR4; Western Morning Herald, 24 iv). Evidently this race existed (or had come to exist) in the minds of some of the mere 84K people who called themselves Cornish and perhaps in the thinking of HMG – despite a previous Labour government having refused recognition as a ‘national minority’ since the Corns were not a “distinct race.”

Anyhow, contrary to leftist insistence, it was not just hereditarians of the London School who talked of ‘race’ despite conditions of overlap. Liberal Democrats were especially keen on funding Corns’ ethnic needs since – having agreed to their beloved EU’s destruction of the Cornish fishing industry -- they sought to reclaim votes from Ukip.

(The Cornish language had become extinct in C19; any distinct Cornish religion was unknown; and the only well recognized Cornish folkways were clotted cream teas – disputed by Devon -- and Cornish pasties. No Anglo-on-Corn pogroms had been recorded; and Cornwall’s economy depended 24% on tourism, mainly by Anglo-Saxons.)

    {I owe a personal debt to Cornwall in that I was tutored at Oxford and later employed in Edinburgh by brain expert and evolutionist David Milton Vowles (known for his researches with ants and pigeons). But, no, over the twenty years through which I was in personal and near-daily contact with him, the great scholar neither talked about Cornwall and his Cornish childhood nor ‘identified’ as Cornish.}


WINDOW ON BLACKNESS  

What Africans could be like (at least when Islamic) went on display as 234 nubile girls (16-18) went into their third week of abduction – probably by ‘Boko Haram’ [‘No to Western education]. Despite a further 44 girls having escaped in the course of being taken to a camp inside the Sambisa forest, Nigerian authorities and distraught parents on motor cycles failed to find where the 234 were being raped (or whatever) by the Muesli rebels; and the girls’ school attempted to placate relatives by claiming the girls had been found – a claim quite without foundation.

Still, despite these horrors of lasciviousness, cruelty, incompetence and dishonesty, the anti-racist Guardian paid a Nigerian to write that the abduction had brought out the best in the community.... (25 iv); and the story was kept off MSM’s front pages – presumably in deference to PeeCee. (The abduction followed quickly on the heels of Boko Haram admitting a rush-hour bombing in the capital, Abuja, killing 75.)


JARED TAYLOR

 As the founder of American Renaissance prepared to try to hold the movement’s annual conference under tight security (against ‘anti-racists’) in Nashville, Tennessee, a nice review of his history and present views was provided by Jeff Lipkes in American Thinker (24 iv).

    Any amusements?  Yes: Yale-educated and liberal JT first saw the light about race realism when, as he quizzed a Black student in Liberia about why his country was so much poorer and disorganized than neighbouring Ivory Coast, he was told simply that it was because Ivory Coast had had the benefit of French rule.

The present? JT says Russian émigrés are astonished to find Americans more terrified of the USA’s diversity tyranny than ever they themselves were of Soviet Communism. And the future (in which he guesses America will become like Brazil)? --

“We will have a painfully stratified society, run by a mixed elite that keeps the masses of poor browns and blacks at a safe distance. Our rulers will continue to mouth slogans about equality and redemption-through-diversity but their lives will be even more hypocritical than they are today. They will live in fortified enclaves, and will increasingly see America not as a beloved nation whose destiny they hold in trust but as a herd to be milked. In 20 years, their cynicism will have begun to dull the patriotism even of Southern whites.”

 In reply to Lipkes came an interesting claim from a correspondent: Jews were heavily involved in the medieval slave trade. Christians were abducted and trafficked into Islamic Spain by Jewish slave traders. But JT thought it unlikely that America would ever follow any European ‘white nationalism’ that was anti-semitic – cf Mr Farage’s distancing himself from France’s Front Nationale.


PEECEE EMBRACES CHRISTIANITY

 In response to PM Daft Dave declaring himself some kind of Christian (for Easter) and saying Britain was a Christian country, R.Dworkin et al protested and LibDim leader Cleggover called for the Queen’s religious trappings to be ditched. However, tranquillity in the realm was restored as the great’n’good agreed that the key and welcome feature of Christianity was in fact ‘tolerance’ – despite Christians having sought revenge on Jews for two millennia, having run the Crusades to snuff out Islam from Jerusalem, having squashed key Hindoo practices of thuggee and suttee, and having proselytized China (yielding 1.3M regular open worshippers in the ‘Communist’ land); and despite Jesus having said that ‘he who is not for me is against me.’ {A high point of peecee farce!}


CRIME BIOLOGICAL

 As experts in America and Britain pondered declining crime rates in recent years (e.g. from 1990) (e.g. BBC News, 22 iv), various explanations came to mind:

more criminals – especially Blacks – had been ‘stopped and searched’ and locked up;

more Black girls had started using the Pill;

CCTV use had provided the ‘supervision’ suggested as effective around 1970 (e.g. Brand, 1971, New Society);

binge drinking had been cut by price hikes on cheap supermarket cider;

‘concealed carry’ legislation meant any White might have a gun – giving Blacks cause to ponder;

people did not bother to report crime – which would remain uninvestigated by cops, especially if perps were Black;

cuts in leaded petrol had reduced brain damage for urban dwellers near roads – notably Blacks.

At least, decreased socio-economic equality was not the answer, since America had become more unequal than ever before as plutocrats gambled (with any losses made good by taxpayers thanks to the connivance of equally over-remunerated – i.e. bribed -- state functionaries).

HAPPY EASTER!

 Good news arrived for Christianity as the Harvard Theological Review carried an article confirming a papyrus fragment from mediaeval Egypt recording that Jesus had talked of “my wife” and that (as scholars had suspected since 1975) Mary Magdalene had been “a major leader of the early Jesus movement” (Indie, 12 iv).

Such normalizing of Christianity had the capacity to free the moribund religion finally from the Roman Catholic supersition that sex was suspect and that men could have only one wife and must then at death give all their money to the Church – thereby denying the role of the family which both socialists and capitalists had been keen to play down along with the realities of genetic differences occurring both between and within families which were readily visible to all but followers of antiquated egalitarian supersitions.

The declarations of some kind of ‘faith’ by Messrs Cameron and Miliband were welcome in so far as they recognized the need to get beyond the usual overwhelmingly environmentalistic and bullying preoccupations of lacklustre politicians; but a commitment to the Christian West’s scientific search for truth would have been more impressive – especially together with a commitment not to suppress the truth when it hovered within view.


YAGS FOR JUSTICE  

As Nigel Evans MP was cleared of sexually molesting young men (so only the stains of yaggery, boozing and poor judgment remained on his character) voices piped up on the BBC decrying “the sex abuse industry,” “hysteria” and Britain’s lack of a ‘statute of limitations’ [on ancient-historical prosecutions] – too late for paedophiles (who had been deserted and beaten by yags who claimed to target only 16+ youths) but still welcome.


SACRIFICED TO PEECEE

 In the once-beautiful city of old Homs, delightfully dotty Dutchman, Father Francis van der Lugt, 75, was sat upon a chair to have his brains blown out by Sunni fanatics of the all-Nutty rebel group (Sunday Times, 13 iv). The good Father had stayed on amidst the the Solunni vs Shitite carnage though only 24 Christians remained to whom he could minister. {His head was doubtless full of peecee idealism that would never have appealed to his religion’s founder, Emperor Constantine, who had warred constantly and successfully with his own brothers.}


ETHNIES AT IT AS USUAL

 As the British ‘Army’ began its protracted withdrawal from Afghooniland – self-justifying all the way as learned from  politicos, especially blaming lack of ‘kit’ [of which the ‘Army’ had 100% and Afghoonis had none apart from a death wish from which the Brits could have learned] – it turned out that the main fault line in the country was between the Pashtuns of the south and the Tajiks of the north (S.Times, 13 iv), a division which the Brits could have mastered to do some killing in the way of traditional armies had their heads not been so full of peecee nonsense about bringing parliamentary government and wymmin’s rights to the poppy growers whose livelihoods the ‘Army’ with its non-resigning ‘soldiers’ had been hell bent on destroying (a counter-productive mission).


SCHOOLS USELESS – AUTHOR

 Top author for British teenagers, Terry Deary, who had sold 25M copies of Horrible Histories and was writing Rotten Romans and Barmy British Empire told the Telegraph’s arts correspondent that school was a “waste of time,” centrally because of boring teachers “kicking conformity into children” and failing to treat them according to their own talents (9 iv). His own frustration with educational authority had, he said, led to the “subversive” and “anarchic” strands in his writing.


DON’T TALK ABOUT THE ETHNICS

 As Europe’s latest ethnic conflict hotted up, MSM (esp. BBC) laboured hard to avoid saying it was a struggle between ethnic groups derived (in so far as Ukraine’s tortured history allows) from the western Galicians and the eastern Cossacks, speaking different languages (Ukrainian, Russian), and following different religious creeds (Greek-Catholic [‘Uniate’], Orthodox).

    In Nigeria, just outside the capital Obujaodoody, Mueslis managed – with a car bomb during the rush hour – to kill 71 Christians and hospitalize another 124 without unduly upsetting multiculti MSM. The abduction of a hundred nubile Christian damsels was atrtributed to the Muesli fanatics of Cocoa Pyjamas.


‘UMAN RIGHTS – A LAUGHING STOCK

 The UN Human Rights Council consigned itself to the doghouse by sending to Britain a womyn of repellent visage, Indian origin and South African citizenship to “monitor” female inequality in the course of a two-week stay meeting kindred malcontents.

Rashida Manjoo was duly shocked by page 3 girls, by date rape going unpunished {by juries}, by men walking on the outside of pavements, by women earning slightly less {in line with their more modest range of IQs and with many of the brighter chicas working from homes which they maintained – with the help of Polish servant girls – for the high-IQ husbands which they had chosen}.

The feminoid ‘liberal’-left kept quiet about Manjew’s nonsense; but Tory treasure Eggwina Currie (former health minister) wondered whether the goon had ever been to Saudi or other countries where women were circumcised (genital mutilation), forbidden books, married off early, banned from driving, had no maternity leave and were liable to find themselves divorced at a moment’s notice.

Thus did the UN distract itself from what should have been its major task: completing the happy victory of having the whole world liberated by learning to speak English – even perchance in Glasgow.


ABUSOHYSTERIA PROTESTED  

Following several recent trials in which elderly celebrities had their lives ruined by accusations of ancient-historical sexual hanky-panky [paedophilic in 2/4 cases] of which juries found them innocent, and with a second trial of disc jockey Dave Lee Travis about to start, the robustly right-wing Tory Anne Widdecombe showed her libertarian side as she asked whether the police and Crown Prosecution Service had not got better things to do than waste vast sums (not least the savings of those accused) on such frivolous pandering to the claims of gold-diggers (Daily Express, 16 iv).


OUTSPEAKING FOR MARRIAGE

Standing up for his convictions, an English High Court judge (of the Family Division) quit after being told by peecee colleagues that he could not speak in favour of marriage. In an interview, Sir Paul Coleridge, 64, had angered gay rights campaigners when he said Government same-sex marriage plans were a "minority issue" because it affected only "0.1%" of the population during a time in which society was facing a "crisis of family breakdown" and said people should not have children unless stably married.

In 2013, Coleridge was handed a formal warning from the Judicial Conduct and Investigations Office declaring that his decision to give this interview, and another one in which he discussed the "decline of marriage," was "incompatible with his judicial responsibilities and therefore amounts to judicial misconduct".

He criticised the decision as a "disproportionate and unfair reaction to a few lines in two newspapers". Rather than condone Britain’s having become a society in which 11% of adults were un-remarried divorcees and only a half of children would grow up in a two-parent family, Sir Paul organized some 100 legal and kindred traditionalist experts to form the think-tank ‘The Marriage Foundation’ to research marriage (with its links to income and happiness in the couple and lawabidingness in the children) and to campaign for long-lasting marital relationships (Daily Mail, 17 iv; Daily Telegraph, 18 iv, p.2).

        A robust denunciation of the UK Coalition government for doing nothing for married couples via the tax system was provided by the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey (Daily Mail, 19 iv, ‘The fact is, marriage has been treated shabbily by today’s politicians’).


IQ MARCHES ON

 As an updating of America’s ‘Scholastic Aptitude Test’ (SAT) was announced, a helpful article about SAT being an IQ test and predicting educational and job success as such (even controlling for SES) appeared in Slate (17 iv) -- with summaries of work by Frank Schmidt and Ian Deary. A quote:

"What this all [these finding mean] is that the SAT measures something—some stable characteristic of high school students other than their parents’ income—that translates into success in college. And what could that characteristic be? General intelligence. The content of the SAT is practically indistinguishable from that of standardized intelligence tests that social scientists use to study individual differences, and that psychologists and psychiatrists use to determine whether a person is intellectually disabled—and even whether a person should be spared execution in states that have the death penalty. Scores on the SAT correlate very highly with scores on IQ tests—so highly that the Harvard education scholar Howard Gardner, known for his theory of multiple intelligences, once called the SAT and other scholastic measures “thinly disguised” intelligence tests."


MULTICULTI MAYHEM

 The internal contradictions of multicultidom achieved star billing on p.1 of the Telegraph (19 iv) as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev Justinia Oilwellby, came out with his insoluble dilemma about yaggery. It had been made clear to him on a visit to South Sudan that, if the CofE allowed its priests to conduct gay marriages, the lives of perhaps a million Black Christians in Africa would be at risk – scores of thousands had already been killed or raped by Mueslis who believed that Christians aimed to convert them and turn them into sodomites.

On the other hand, if Welby continued to ban yag marriage, he would alienate about half his clergy and perhaps a quarter of his flock in Britain. All he could do was to hope to placate the different cultures with a long-running committee....


OBAMA BANANA  

Probably expressing widely held Russian attitudes to President Obarmy, the pro-Russians of eastern Ukraine were snapped bearing banners embellished with pictorial caricatures of America’s half-Black supremo portraying him variously as a Nazi and a monkey.

GENES FOR POLITICS  

Concluding a review of John Hibbing, a political scientist studying perception at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, whose “Political Physiology Laboratory” found ‘conservatives’ more negative and defensive than ‘liberals,’ Chris Mooney wrote for the left-wing Mother Jones magazine (4 iv):

"....when you combine Hibbing’s research on the physiology of ideology with waves of other studies showing that liberals and conservatives appear to differ when it comes to genetics, hormones, moral emotions, personalities, and even brain structures, the case for politics being tied to biology seems pretty strong indeed."

--A nice endorsement of Hans Eysenck’s (1954ff.) views, though of course Hans didn’t get a mention....


ETHNIES TO GO TO IT

 Communal mayhem between Hindoos and Mueslis, for which India was notorious on an almost daily basis, was predicted by the long-leading, Gandhi-founded Congress Party to break out in the province of Utter Rubbish (India’s largest) if the Hindoo nationalist BJP won upcoming national elections in the world’s largest demakrazy (Daily Telegraph, 7 iv).

Despite killing millions as it broke from Britain, India had failed to despatch all its Mueslis northwards to their new doomed state of Pakiland; so 14% of its population remained Muslim – and had lower income and literacy than the average Hindu. Typically Mueslis voted Congress; but the Congress Party’s grip on India had been weakening thanks to years of socialism and corruption.

The most recent major ethnic violence had occurred in late-2013, in the city of Mustafalager. (69 people had been killed in a three-week orgy of murder, violence and rape which swept Muzaffarnagar and drove more than 50,000 Muslims from their homes.)

    National campaigning in the month-long elections began with a Congress party candidate being arrested after saying he wanted to chop BJP leader Mr Modi into pieces; while a senior BJP man said he wanted to strip Congress’s Mrs Gandhi and her son and "send them back to Italy" (Indie, 7 iv).

    Narendra Modi’s nationalist party planned to bring Indian-controlled Muslim-majority Kashmir under direct rule from Delhi and end separate codes of personal law for Muslims and other minorities (D.Telegraph, 8 iv).


ENDING ETHNIC CONFLICT

 A commemoration was held in Kigale, Rwanda, to mark the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan massacre of 800K (taller, brighter, more modernized, English-speaking) Tutsis by agriculturalist Hutus and the country’s subsequent return to the ways of peace (D.Telegraph, 7 iv).

International emissaries of the great’n’good, like UN Chief Diner Wanky Loon, were told that simplistic laws forbidding people to ask each other’s ethnicity had been a great success – as Western social psychologists were able to believe. It was less freely admitted that 70% of Rwanda’s Tutsis had been macheted to death by the rampaging Hutu underclass, that a further 2M Hutus Tutsis had fled into the Congo, that the Tutsis won, and that Rwanda’s subsequent government had been largely in the hands of the Tutsis (operating from their own safe haven in Burundi).


NATURAL CONTINUITY

 As TV’s top quiz, University Challenge, reached its twentieth year of broadcasting, the enormous social changes of the period (including crop tops, pre-shrunk jeans and kindred visual aids....) had made no differences to basic verities (surely based in the means and ranges of IQ). The show was still Oxbridge-dominated, with only Manchester University and University College London able to match individual Oxbridge colleges having only a fortieth of their number of students.

Girls also still lagged, with only a sixth of 2014 contestants being so gendered. Providing a spectacular demonstration of these home truths, the 2014 Final was to be between all-male teams from Trinity College Cambridge and Somerville College, Oxford, even though Somerville (once attended by Mrs Thatcher) was a mainly-womyn college (despite having decided to admit men in 1994) (D.Telegraph, 7 iv).


MULTICULTI MINORITY MADNESS

 As a homosexual teacher (an assistant head) resigned from a Birmingham school in response to protests at his ‘gay pride’ teaching by (mainly) Muslim parents, it turned out that a dozen schools in Birmingham were under investigation by the Department for Education over allegations of financial mismanagement and the introduction of Islamic practices (Indie, 8 iv). In March, a document entitled Operation Trojan Horse was circulated in England. It was alleged to be a blueprint for Islamic hardliners on how to take control of schools in several cities.


MoD vs BNP  

So concerned was HMG to appease Mueslis that it had its Ministry of Defence denounce the mention (in electoral material) that Fusilier Lee Rigby had been hacked to death by two Mueslis (both subsequently given 20+ years in prison). A spokesman for the MoD said (Indie, 8 iv): “It is immoral and patently wrong that any organisation should seek to make political gains out of the tragic death of one of our personnel.”


LOVING ONE’S NEIGHBOUR

Nothing but sweet sentiments of harmony and reconciliation passed each other’s lips as the political supremos of Éire and Great Britain met at Westiminster to dine each other on the occasion of a state visit by top IRA murderer Martin McGuinness (who was to take tea with Prince Philip, whose uncle the IRA had blown up). ‘Reconciliation’ had been made possible by America cutting IRA funding, by Éire renouncing claims to Northern Ireland (which it had never pursued with any vigour), by McGuinness and cronies getting HMG funding, and by lots of barbed wire.

The latter had yielded tightly bonded but separated  communities of Caffs and Prods – probably explainng the finding (D.Telegraph, 8 iv) that inhabitants of the North were more likely than any others in the UK to identify with their city, town or village rather than with their county or country.


WANTING IT BOTH WAYS

 After a decade of TV female (ex-)lovelies carterwauling that, at 55, there was not so much work for them as at 25, surely because of ‘ageism,’ forthright presenter Michael Buerk was bold enough to observe that women who had uncomplainingly got their star positions in good measure because of their looks in youth – i.e. thanks to (healthy) ‘sexism’ -- were hypocritical to complain of losing these jobs as they grew older (Daily Express, 9 iv).


USELESS SCHOOLING  

Britain’s upping its school leaving age from 15 to 16 in the 1970s provided precisely no socio-economic gains: subsequent social mobility for affected children was no greater than for children in previous years, reported Dr Franz Buscha (U.Westminster). Despite an improvement on measures of educational attainment, children ended up with jobs no better than those of their predecessors (D.Telegraph, 9 iv).

{It was widely understood among realists that the main function of early ‘education’ was to provide a baby-sitting service so that mothers could take paid employment and thus help the socialist programme of destroying the family; and that increasing compulsory schooling for teenagers served chiefly to keep youngsters off the dole queues to which socialist egalitarianism otherwise consigned them. Both provided more work and pay for state propagandists aka teachers. HMG – under gay’n’green management -- planned to increase the minimum leaving age to 18 after the summer of 2015.}


LUNI INTERVENTIONISM EXPOSED

 Yale University, seeing that one of its female students weighed only 6½ stone, demanded force feeding with junk food as a condition of continuation of her studies so as to dispel its nannies’ anxieties that the girl had anorexia nervosa. However, after a month of obliging by scoffing fries and ice cream (yielding only a weight increase of 2lb), the 20-yr girl, of Taiwanese parentage, managed to establish for the luni that her parents and all her grandparents had been unusually thin (though happy – as was the girl herself) and to get the programme called off. The luni could not discuss its weight-policing and ignorance of genetics “because of federal health confidentiality laws” (D.Telegraph, 10 iv).


SELECTION SURVIVES  

Featured as a success story in the Independent (10 iv) was {my own old school, 1954-61} Queen Elizabeth’s Boys’ Grammar School, Barnet.

‘QE,’ though a state school, had remarkably survived years of comprehensivisation, managed to maintained selection by ability and expanded its catchment area across the whole of London, thereby including many boys of “Asian, Chinese and Afro-Caribbean” origin. {Exactly what proportion at QE were “from ethnic minorities”? See here.}

A higher proportion of boys from Queen Elizabeth’s School gained places at [Britain’s top 25] Russell Group universities in 2009/2010 than from any other state school, according to data released by the Department for Education in 2012. Music had become a noted speciality, though a reputation for rugby was well preserved. Having tripled in size from the 1950s, it sent some 40 boys annually to Oxbridge {compared to the 10 or so to all universities in my day}. The only ‘decline’ was that boys were allowed to sit on Stapylton Field on Founder’s Day – rather than stand (and sometimes faint) while listening to orations.

‘Old Boys’ included a secretary to the Prince of Wales, an advisor to Mrs Thatcher, and several writers, broadcasters, professors and vice-chancellors. {A website of informal memorabilia about the school was provided by one of my classmates, Vic Coughtrey.}


Photographed in 2000, the teachers’ cars constitute the only change in this front view of the 1930s-built, north London school since the 1950s, when Chris Brand was there.


PERSECUTING A PERV

 The British proclivity for prosecuting largely victimless crimes (racial harassment, marital rape, speeding, drugs, paedophilia etc) took a knock as top pervert Nigel Evans MP (for twenty years Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons) was cleared (after a year of mental torture and a five-day trial costing him £100K for a top defence lawyer) by a jury at Preston Crown Court of all of five charges of sexual molestation (of young male aides brought to him for parliamentary training) – and it turned out that three of the five cases had been brought by the Crown Prosecution Service against the express wishes of the ‘victims’ (who had apparently been ‘up for it’).

{Dozens of MPs were relieved that Evans was found innocent – for late at night, in its bars, the Commons had become a hotbed of ‘sexual molestation’ – according to scores of young men who came forward to the Guardian. Pervs were much in demand as MPs – for their charm, lying and (being mainly childless) having time on their hands.

Sodomy was no longer just a problem for the Labour and Liberal parties: the Conservatives were under official examination for having used taxpayers’ cash to book hotel rooms (for young aides) where flagrant bumboy parties were held (Indie, 12 iv); and its Deputy Chairman had admitted to bestiality with a llama.

The head of the CPS, an ugly beglassed frump with boyish hair, distinctly looked lesbian – so perhaps the ‘LGBT’ ‘community’ was not as united as it might have been in following the sage libertarian advice of Queensman Jeremy Bentham to deal with ‘crime’ according to its actual costs.}


APARTHEID PREFERRED

 Buffalo’s Public Schools were just as racially segregated in 2012 as they were in the 1970s, essentially reversing the results of an integration program that once was heralded as a national model. About 70 percent of the city’s schools were considered segregated in 1972, when parents filed a lawsuit that prompted a federal judge to order the district to desegregate.

Despite decades of programs aimed at striking a racial balance, a Buffalo News analysis (5 iv) found that in 2012, 70 percent of schools in the city were segregated [with huge majorities of either White or Lat/Af children], showing that any ‘gains’ seen after the implementation of the court order had been erased.

Segregation of schools reflected parental preferences for segregation in housing and resisted state abolition of pupils having to attend nearby schools. The situation in Buffalo underscored a trend seen across New York state, which a Civil Rights Project had identified as the most segregated state in the USA.


ENVIRONMENTALISM EXPOSED

 2012 figures from the US Department of Education found big increases in school expenditure (on 17-yr-olds) to have no relation to anything but the number of staff employed:



While spending had just about tripled in inflation-adjusted dollars and the number of school employees had almost doubled since 1970, reading, math and science scores for students remained stagnant (Fox News, 7 iv).

ARAB INGRATES DEFY PEECEE  

Faced with the British ‘compromise’ of gay marriage (q.v.) and free treatment for AIDS, the Sultan of Brunei, 67, announced his own armed-to-the-teeth country (long a close ally of Britain) would progress swiftly to shariah law and the flogging, dismemberment and stoning to death of yags – including any Western yags who happened to be to hand (Indie, 30 iii). The Sultan – who forked out not only for British military hardware but for a 1K-strong Gurkha regiment of the British Army to be stationed in Brunei – promised to set up a “firewall” between Brunei and globalisation.


USES OF PAEDOPHILIA

 A solution to the problem of underemployment among state flunkies was found by the state-subsidized NSPCC. Noting in its annual report that ‘child protection agencies’ were overwhelmed by the reporting of paedophilia which they and kindred paedohysterics had whipped up, and unable to pursue much beyond ‘emergency’ cases, the NSPCC urged that all ‘professionals who came into contact with children’ – hence “our whole public service infrastructure [of] teachers, nursery workers, police officers and nurses” -- should take on paedohysteria as a duty (D.Telegraph, 31 iii).

{Whether this work would happily distract the attention of overpaid bureaucrats who ‘worked’ to ban smoking,  branded cigarette packaging, electronic ‘smoking,’ drinking, fat, meat, sliced cheese, commas, crisps, ‘bogof’ supermarket offers, salt, sugar, smacking, ‘emotional cruelty’[as assessed by peecee social workers, with fat profits from disputes to lawyers]], porn, plastic bags, men, free poppadums, cars, coal, ‘unqualified’ sceptics about climate change, doughy pizzas and crispy chips [‘fries’] remained unclear. But it might lead more elderly paedophiles into inexpensive euthanasia rather than endure the form-filling for bureaucrats and the embarrassment of their families and friends before being slung into prison (£50Kpa) for torture by Blacks, Muslies and other self-righteous riff-raff....}


CENSORIOUS COPS COST £63K

 When 57-yr Christian John Craven preached from a Manchester soap box that the Bible condemned homosexuality (though not yags themselves), two boys in his audience started kissing to tease him and complained to police of ‘insult, harassment and distress.’ Peecee-trained cops forced Craven roughly into the cells, where they kept him for 15 hours without food, water or access to medication [for his rheumatoid arthritis]. Subsequently, after three years of wrangling, a court awarded the preacher £13K in compensation and £50K for his legal costs {sums to come out of the taxpayers’ pockets, of course} (D.Telegraph, 1 iv).


TV TOUCHES RACE

 Britain’s MSM and politicos got as near as they ever did to mentioning race as Nice Nick Cleggy (LibDim leader) slugged it out for an hour on BBC2 (2 iv, 19:00) with Nige Garage (Unap leader). Ostensibly about the European Union, the debate – which yielded [in three snap polls – one by the Guardian] an impressive 68% poll support for Farage and only 28% for Clegg – avoided race as PeeCee required.

Garage, having raised the plight of Britain’s “White working class [or] underclass,” which had benefited little from immigration, felt obliged to cover himself by mentioning the 50% unemployment among “Afro-Caribbeans” and came on generally as a champion of globalization, to which he saw the EU’s protectionism as anachronistically and outdatedly opposed.

But Cleggover, in what he thought a tease at Ukip, provided the high point of the evening by displaying a cartoon, which he implied was racist and came from Unap sources, showing an unhappy befeathered Sioux “native American” and saying “He used to ignore immigration – now now he lives on a reservation.” Naughty and extreme, thought Cleggy – to which the daily more ‘moderate’ (i.e. peecee) Garage could only shuffle and agree.

But ‘the EU’ had become a proxy for ‘race’ in response to PeeCee terror, so – as the poll outcome with the general public showed -- it probably did Unap no harm to be under fire for the dreaded ‘racism.’


WESTERN WELFARISTS MEET THEIR MATCH

 In Uganda, where years of West-funded idealism had by 2005 got the percentage of the population having HIV/AIDS down from 20% to 6%, the STD was once more on the increase as forged certificates of having tested ‘negative’ became available at prices up to $500 (paid to fellow Blacks) and even being genuinely stamped from clinics which the West had set up and supported (BBC World Service, 3 iv, 14:20).


ENVIRONMENTALISM SLAMMED  

As England’s Department of Education (latest supremo: Sir Michael Wilshaw) announced to its “early years inspectors” its aspiration to teach “the early stages of mathematics and reading” to 2-yr-olds, it found itself confronted by no less than 235 educators (including popular developmental psychology expert Professor Penelope Leach, U.London) who – whether out of hereditarianism, liberalism or both – objected in the Telegraph (3 iv) to such “schoolifying” of children barely out of the cradle.

{Yes, with the blessing of its ‘Conservative’ and ‘Liberal’ Coalition masters, the DofE had let slip this insight into its thinking. Not content with having abolished fathers and sent mothers out to ‘work,’ the nanny-statists of HMG were ready to pursue their neglect of intelligence levels and inflict what the Telegraph correspondents called “unconscionably early quasi-formal learning” on toddlers in line with their batty ideas of equalizing all children in school-readiness and preparing them for the dismal world of still-more-equalizing rote learning which lay ahead.}


BASKET-CASE BRITAIN

 So hopeless had welfarist Britain become that police were unable in two years to remove twenty ‘rough sleepers’ (i.e. gypsies) from London’s Park Lane where the beggars made nice livings (e.g. able to buy the latest buggies for their kids) from terrorizing residents (typically getting £5 ‘small change’ when Arabs returned to find their homes still in one piece) (D.Mail, 5 iv, with visual aids).


FARAGE CUTS ICE

  Unap leader Nige Garage, fresh from trouncing LibDim Cleggy on TV, made unexpected progress by realistically criticizing the West’s fooling around in the Ukraine and announcing his realistic + liberal belief that the ‘war on drugs’ had been lost {as any blind dog could have seen in 1965} and that drugs should be legalized and taxed – apparently a true national liberal in the making.


BARKING BRITAIN  

New statistics from HMG revealed that large parts of London’s East End were now majority-non-White. Barking & Dagenham now had 75% of its school pupils non-White – in one school it was 94%. This was a problem arising from the area’s 1990’s failure to follow the BNP; but at least, in 2014, it could be mentioned on the BBC’s Question Time without a riot (D.Mail, 5 iv, Robert Hardman), the cultural Marxists having won their battle to destroy the free-speaking, hard-working, fun-loving heartlands of British culture and now resting on their laurels and pretending they had never run peecee terror.


JAPS TO RESUME BREEDING

 The Japanese government started funding matchmaking events in a desperate attempt to boost a birth rate that had halved over the past six decades (Bloomberg, 20 iii). Prime Minister Shinzo Abe allocated an additional 3 billion yen (£17.7 million) in the 2014 fiscal year’s budget for birthrate-boosting programmes as part of a strategy to reverse the nation’s shrinking population. Japan was home to one of the fastest ageing societies in the world, with the population shrinking at a record 244,000 in 2013 alone, according to government figures.The support of marriage - and the active encouragement of young people to settle down – had come to be regarded by government policy-makers as a key strategy for boosting the nation’s birth rate. {Could eugenics be far behind?}


SUICIDAL SASSENACHS

 As the Ebola virus (liquefying people from the inside and killing them in days) spread like wildfire in West Africa and ‘British’ Solunni Mueslis blowing up Shitites in Syria announced they would return ‘home’ to kill Brits, HMG took its usual heroic posture to examine and restrict incomers from these areas: it did precisely nothing (Indie, 6 iv). Labour announced further horror for the future with a proposed artificial discriminatory doubling of ‘fast-tracked’ working-class and ethnic Civil Service entrants to 42%.


OZ GETS REAL

 Perhaps to celebrate Kate’n’Wills’ trip with Baby George, HMQ’s Prime Minister, Queensman Tony Abbott created a few new baronetcies down under, perhaps preparing for a restoration of a proper House of Lords staffed by talent  -- unlike the British Cabinet which came to light as backing the mediocre, comprehensive-schooled, yag-backing ministress Maria Miller, previously unheard of but inscribed for all time as an expenses cheat who had tried to bully the Daily Telegraph by ‘flagging up’ in phone calls her key role as (LeviSohn-style) organizer of coming press censorship.
