REAL CAPITALISM
As the Observer and correspondents provided a pretty full breakdown of the horrors of London’s casino banking (where getting a pal to show info just two minutes before it went public could yield a fortune) (16 xi) and £2.6B in fines were levied on top UK and US banks, it became clear that the market in speculation was just as out of control as it had been in 2007/8.
Socialists had been unable to get on top of things – not least because they had done much to encourage and indeed compel lending [to ‘sub-primes’]; and liberal ideas [in Britain, of Uncle Vince Cable] of breaking up the banks so they were not ‘too big to fail’ or at least separated their ‘investment’ and deposit wings had apparently proved impractical.
So what was to be done about corrupted institutions that were running economies the size of Texas and had plainly got themselves into the position of power occupied by British trade unions of the 1970s? Well, just as the trade unions had had eventually to be pulled back to their original purpose of representing majorities of their own members, so perhaps it was time to drag capitalism back to its key point of ‘justifiable profit from investment’: as well as locking up a fair number of company directors, shareholders and spivvish traders, the simple measure of requiring that all shares be held for six months before they could be legally re-sold would arguably do the trick.
Yes, why not require ‘investors’ to prove themselves as ‘workers’ friends’ had had to do? {And, to demonstrate their long-term devotion to capitalism, bankstas might also be required to make donations to schools of their choice – schools which would surely be ‘selective.’ The saddest feature of unfettered capitalism – apart from its tendency to psychopathy, assisted by politicians – had long been that capitalists themselves did little to support capitalism.}
OLD HABITS DIE HARD
The ‘progressive’ Pope Francis, the head of a church which had long opposed contraception, divorce, eugenics and capitalism, took it upon himself to moderate his lately announced support for yag marriage by firmly denouncing abortion, euthanasia and IVF. The fact that his ‘congregations’ were mainly too sensible to obey his injunctions was apparently beyond him.
OLD HABITS DIE HARD II
Three mainly Black/Red Indians in Brazil (two of them women) were given 63 years in prison for murdering a few low-lifes, eating some of them, putting others into the blender to provide ingredients for pasties, then going on to sell such pasties to schools and hospitals as containing (variously) chicken or tuna (Sunday Mail, 16 xi).
RELIGION OF PEACE
A new book, Crucified Again, by a Muslim/American scholar, Raymond Ibrahim, stressed that Islam’s thousand-year rampage through the countries of the Mediterranean and Adriatic had only been temporarily halted by Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt and the British effort to secure the area so as to keep open the route to India.
It received high praise in a review at historian Victor David Hanson’s website (10 xi). It also stressed the contribution made to Islamic revival not only by the oil which the West had discovered and developed but by the West’s descent, following its ghastly Wars, into irreligiosity, guilt about empire, self-hatred, deadbeat socialism, kindred egalitarianism, multiculturalism and thought-inhibiting peecee qualified by the need to venerate positively all sexual degeneracy (apart of course from paedophilia, for which quite a few Muslims had a soft spot).
{Yes, quite a primer for the new Crusades – if the Western democracies could be bothered to have them! Unfortunately, Americans’ understanding of what they were up against was as limited as their understanding of Hitler’s war aims till he declared war on the USA in 1942. – White Americans had been voting for Obarmy for eight years, intending to purge themselves of charges of racism.}
CHOICE BUT NO CHOICE
No doubt excited by his 12% poll lead in the imminent Rochester by-election which he had triggered by defecting from the Conservatives to UKIP, Mark Reckless MP was moved to say he favoured deporting Polish plumbers who had been in Britain for more than two years. But what if they had wives, children, council houses and GPs, screamed the media. What if they had work? Had he asked Milkmaid Merkel? Or the ECHR?
Swiftly the appropriately named Reckless found his musings disowned by his new party (Guardian, 19 xi), at the heart of which was traditional if ill-informed racism covered by the party’s diplomatic decision that the answer to every problem of fifty years of the stupidity, criminality and welfare dependence of third-world immigrants was just to leave the European Union (whose only supply of difficult immigrants was of gypsies, who were not to be mentioned in line with MSM policy and with UKIP’s own copycat anti-racism).
The screeching of leader Garage as he braked to maintain the illusion of UKIP as being passably mainstream was pitiful to behold, though it might rouse some from their slumbers in which they denied the vast dominance of peecee-multiculturalism in British public life.
{Funnily enough, the policy of ‘pretend anti-racism’ had been thoroughly tried before – by the BNP, without final success. The problem with pretending is of course that it prevents proper discussion and planning about what to do about even the most glaring challenges arising from low IQ, which would be bound to continue as long as the welfare state.
The old joke about basic socialist thinking came to mind: ‘If poverty did not exist, we would have to invent it.’ Yes, that was exactly what politicos had done by egging 50% of families into divorce and single-parenthood.}
Taiwan (IQ 107) had a well-established policy of requiring immigrants to return to their motherland at least once every three years – and thus not to put deep roots down in the island.
Presumably Mark Reckless had some such scheme in mind but was not given time on the hustings to explain such thinking. As it was, his recklessness required diplomatic UKIP to issue a blanket guarantee to Britain’s 3M European immigrants (as equally to 7M others) that they would in no way be targeted by UKIP policies. Leftist voteseekers had never had it so good – even though they would come an ignominious third in Rochester!
That PC/MC had penetrated down even to the lower circles of government was illustrated as a nice rural Lincolnshire primary school was downgraded from ‘excellent’ to ‘good’ by ‘Ofsted’ bureaucrats just because it did not supply enough experience of ‘diversity’ – this in an area where 97% were British and 100% of the school’s pupils had English as their first language (Daily Mail, 19 xi). A visual aid:
The delightful pupils concerned
A Mail correspondent put the matter well: “Political correctness must be the biggest threat to this country, even more than terrorism.”
CENSORIOUS CENTURY
As PeeCee tightened its grip, the 1970’s children’s beloved storybook character ‘Paddington Bear’ found himself subject to elf warnings by government busybodies and recommended as unsuitable for viewing or reading by children under twelve; tough-talking American clown Julian Blanc who promised to help young men to get dates and bedtime with gals by appearing more manly found himself banned from entering Britain by Home Secretary Topwitch Theresa May after she had been sent a cascade of tweets from feminoids; and another ‘Conservative’ ministress announce she would pressurize gyms to ban mirrors since she thought fatties were upset by images of themselves (especially in lycra) and thus abandoned their good resolutions to take exercise (D. Telegraph, 19 xi).
A fine review of the censoriousness of Britain’s luni students as they hysterically closed down (‘no-platformed’) all expression of views that made them ‘uncomfortable’ was provided in the Spectator by Brendan O’Neill (22 xi). Examples came from closures of debates at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Dundee and Edinburgh.
Calling them ‘Stepford Students’ (after the zombies in the film ‘Stepford Wives’), O’Neill foresaw yet more tyranny for Britain ahead as these hypersensitive left-lesbians took up official positions (as affirmative action demanded).
{Yes, almost twenty years after the already frightened administrators of E.LU. had spent £100K to get rid of me, it was turning out that their payment of Danegeld had done less than nothing to stem the egalitarian tide of the countless irreligious, ignorant and agrammatical ‘students’ whose fees they had sought.}
SQUASHING NON-PEECEE TALK
A sign of surviving life at the LUniversity of Edinburgh emerged as leaks came out of a student ‘fraternity’ joshing about how to ‘rape’ [the feminoid term for ‘having sex with’] fat and ugly leaders of the LUni’s rabid Feminist Society (Independent, 20 xi, with visual aid of the ‘green’ destruction at Old College of the Principal’s car parking space). So shocking was such talk that a ‘senior academic’ and retinue of secretaries, dishwashers and lawyers was sent in to investigate and silence the jesters – who used LUni premises for their gatherings under the title of ‘The Mandarin Society.’
BLECK BUSTED
An iconic Black comedian, known to millions as America’s Daddy, Bong Cosby, 77, was hoisted by feminoids for hanky-panky with girl fans of the 1980s – one of whom he had repeatedly ‘raped’ over a two-year period {so enthusiastic was she}, with the help of dishing her encouraging drugs. Hearing of fifteen complainants pursuing money ooops ancient grievances, MSM decided Bong’s precise naughtinesses were too horrendous (or was it too trivial?) to be mentioned but found Bong guilty and declared an end to his career as a fitting sentence (Guardian, 20 xi).
Yes, in the brave new world of PeeCee, abusohysteria trumped mass veneration, long-distance careers, justice and even holy Blackness – though Bong’s mega-popular ‘Cosby Show’ had not been afraid to mention Black failings, no doubt infuriating the US ‘liberal’ elite.
Cosby’s speech in 2004 had actually expressed, at some length, his exasperation with Black Americans blaming White people for their problems. {The contempt of ordinary folk for the trial-by-MSM was shown as Bong drew a packed house in Florida for his usual 1½-hr comic routine, without a voice raised in complaint.}
LABOUR BUSTED
The top casualty in the Rochester by-election (20 xi) was leader Millilitre’s close ally, his elfin safety secretary, Emily Thornberry. Though Labour had long distanced itself from its traditional White working class supporters (whose unions of non-workers had had to be reigned in by Mrs Thatcher) and concerned itself instead with currying favour from Britain’s ‘minorities’ (Blecks, Peks, wymmin, yags, transgendered, disabled etc), and of course from bankstas, while its leadership became all-graduate, this shift was never acknowledged, especially not in public.
And then, just as Labour was struggling in third place against PM Daft Dave and UKIP, along comes Emily, the sobworthy product of divorced parents (though daddy was a lawyer) who had failed her 11+ but ploughed on to the University of Kent (wot dat?...) and to be a ‘uman rights guru living on the same gentrified £3M-per-house Islington street as the Blairs (Guardian, 21 xi).
Despatched to campaign in distinctly provincial Rochester & Strood, the elevated Emily found herself much amused by the patriotic lowlifes who apparently planned to vote UKIP; and twitted as much to her friends to show her remarkable discovery of ‘white van man’ living in the all-too-typical council-supplied rabbit hutch without a garden yet still having enthusiasm for St George (if not having much skill in putting up flags).
Mrs Thornintheflesh’s snobby sneering had to be met by Millilitre firing her within hours from Labour’s Shadow Cabinet even as Overweight Emily repented her ‘lack of respect’ for the party’s traditional voters. Yes, with one click of a twit, and with a visual aid, Labour’s position as the party of the metropolitan elite had been seered into the public mind.
It transpired that the ‘white van man’ was a hulking but genial giant, Dan Ware, 37, who was a father of four, a tattooed and shaven-headed cage fighter, and a property maintainer and car dealer who had always voted Conservative. He had put up his Union Jack flags in connection with the World Cup, and not because he was backing Ukip (the membership of which was notably more saloon-bar-friendly).
A prospect of reducing rabid African overbreeding (the average Nigerian man had seven children) emerged as research at giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, funded by Bill and Melinda Gates, came up with an injectable contraceptive that lasted for three months and cost only one dollar a pop (Independent, 21 xi). The Gates were to begin trialling it in 69 of the world’s poorest countries.
{Savings could be wasted on ooops invested in schemes of elf care, education, Band Aid and arms supply more commonly favoured by Western idealists…. The cost of treating each ebola patient waved into the USA was $.5M – estimate by U.Nebraska Medical Centre (NBC News, 18 xi).}
HILARIOUS EUROPE
The full fun of the failed Fourth Reich (aka EUSSR, best known for the 30% unemployment of its non-Nordic young) was exemplified as British lorry drivers were told by their haulier bosses not to stop within 200km (130m) of Calais lest their vehicles be boarded by teeming young Arab/Africans desperate to reach welfare-, housing- and elf-dispensing Britain.
At the same time, yeurolaw specified that lorry drivers must take a break every four hours, meaning the hapless drivers’ next break would be taken as they queued in Calais – an ideal arrangement for the thousands of A/As which Italy and France hoped to pass from the Mediterranean on to shangrilah UK.
The A/A invaders themselves were quite discriminating. If discovered as stowaways, they always asked for return to France. They would rather risk another stowaway feat than get involved in being registered as asylum seekers in Britain – which would officially deny them employment opportunities. (Little did they know the incompetence of Britain’s ‘state-comprehensively’ miseducated C21 ‘officials’ who had got their jobs under affirmative action!)
{You thought Mr Garage was calling a halt to such comedy? Not a bit! Farage was concerned to present Ukip as anti-racist etc and merely aiming to deliver Brexit (British exit from the EU). He preferred – at least for the moment – to forget that Britain’s politicos, press and public officials were as sworn to PeeCee as any pacificity-propagandized Teuton, and probably more so.}
DON’T TALK ABOUT THE RACE FACTOR
An unusually realistic summary of Britain’s avoidance of discussion of what to do about Blecks and Peks was provided for the Speccie by Douglas Murray (22 xi) – a sample from its encouraging ending:
"We keep saying we want to ‘have a debate’ and ‘discuss’ immigration. But we don’t. Not really. What we want to do is to please ourselves by saying – for instance – how wonderful the NHS is thanks to immigration and then ignore the real, long-term downsides and challenges that come along with mass immigration of the scale we have seen in recent years. We seem intent on ignoring the facts even as they keep cropping up all around us.
Will the latest Ofsted inspection lead to a serious discussion of whether it is wise to keep letting large numbers of Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh into the UK? Or how on earth we plan to integrate and adapt to British values the millions who are already here? Of course it won’t. To have that debate would be ‘racist’.
So we shouldn’t kid ourselves that we’re having a debate, nor have any real intention to do so. Pretty bleak really. Though if you need cheering up might I suggest one failsafe option? Dwell on the number ‘349’. That is the number of votes that the Liberal Democrats got in Rochester and Strood. 349. It’s beautiful. I can’t stop laughing. There – it’s happened again. 349. It’s wonderful. The new magic number. A number that has the potential to bring a limitless amount of happiness when you think on it."
