A year ago  Guido Fawkes   published a map of the constituencies with the most signatories for a petition opposing Trump's visit to Britain. The map from  Press Association  shows that 15 of the top 20 constituencies with the most signatories in favour of cancelling Trump’s state visit are in London. The rest of the country doesn’t seem bothered, other than the student towns of Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, Brighton and Edinburgh. One year on from the visit that never eventuated,and it's all back on again.Apparently; albeit with no firm date as yet. This means that the uni student common room slackers aka  SWP /Momentum /Green heroic vanguard of proletarian consciousness will be repainting their placards and practising their litanies of otiose cant and vacuous platitudes which they'll seek to deploy on the day itself. Pseudo-moralistic posturing ( aka virtue-signalling ) ,will once again be to the fore in the ever shrinking realm of MSM  public discourse.All the visceral

By 1945 ,even the most ardent Nazi fanatic  realised that the game was up. Shortly after the War ,those leading figures who had escaped the Noose ,such as Speer claimed to have opposed Hitler's policy against the Jews and had in fact begun plotting to overthrow Hitler himself ! Yeah ,right ,whatever. The original Nazi inspired  " dream " of a European Union , ( yes it really was theirs first ) is even now going the way of the Third Reich. And what is clearly hastening its cataclysmic demise is the shibboleth " freedom of movement of labour. " A horrendously stupid and worthless idea let alone sentiment,but there they go getting all multiculti as if it was somehow intrinsically  " better " or more " worthy " or expressed some innate,deep positive human condition. It never did. The make-belief " left " as much as the make-belief " right " have jointly wasted the past 70 years arguing the wrong question. And the smug ,kle

A couple of days ago at RUSI aka the Royal United Services Institute, in a much trailed speech approved by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson , Chief of the General Staff,General Sir Nick Carter stirred the proverbial international diplomatic  merde. General Sir Nick Carter controversially claimed that Russian hostility could come sooner than expected and the UK must prepare to "fight the war we might have to fight". The bemedalled Carter further alleged that Russia was building an increasingly aggressive expeditionary force and the potential military threats to the UK "are now on Europe's doorstep". Carter claimed that the Kremlin already boasted an "eye-watering quantity of capability" - a level the UK would struggle to match with regard to  what he said was Russia's new cyber warfare capabilities as well as Russian long-range missile strike capability, which he said was demonstrated in Syria when 26 missiles were deployed from a 1,500km

The following was gleaned from @TheRegionOrg , an open letter from a retinue of leading academics headed by the venerable Noam Chomsky  wrote - " We, the undersigned academics and human rights activists, insist that the leaders of Russia, Iran, and the U.S. ensure that the sovereignty of Syrian borders is not breached by Turkey and that the people of Afrin in Syria, be allowed to live in peace. Afrin, whose population is predominantly Kurdish, is one of the most stable and secure regions in Syria. With very little international aid, Afrin has taken in so many Syrian refugees in the last five years that its population has doubled to 400,000. Afrin is now surrounded by enemies: Turkish-supported jihadi groups, al Qaeda, and Turkey. Turkish president Erdogan has threatened to attack the U.S. military’s Kurdish partners – the Kurdish YPG or People’s Protection Units – with which the US has been allied against ISIS. Turkey accuses the YPG of being “terrorists”..." And ther

As the EU Withdrawal Bill grinds ineluctably on through the parliamentary process,and the actual,irrevocable date of the UK's departure from the thrall of the european union - March 29,2019 draws ever nearer, it's worth recounting some of the more egregious depredations of the aforementioned Teutonic Empire and its satrapies. It ought act as an antidote to the Remoaner / reluctant Leave poison being imbibed by all and sundry during this period preceding full and final exit from the clutches of the e.u. " The historically moribund European Union  can be viewed as a sleazy,corrupt,kleptocratic hellhole of outright fraud and embezzlement. Amid all the venal hubristic posturing surrounding #Brexit ,once all the vacuous platitudes have been aired and philosophical points have been examined it all comes back down to money. Who pays what to whom and for what and how long for. The current article from the euro observer is particularly instructive on this matter :- Icela

You know that feeling of dread you get at the onset of what you know will be a migraine headache? The same sickening sense of foreboding is achieved by listening to what that vapid and lacklustre straw man masquerading as the current leader of the British Labour Party has to say on the EU’s ” Freedom of Movement “. The impending sense of nausea he induces when evading the issue is all too palpable. It is also all too indicative of the 200 #LabourIn MPs’ tawdry metropolitan PC ideology. For some reason, this antidemocratic, seditionist, parliamentary rabble and quite a large swathe of otherwise serious and rational people on the British ” Left ” think and behave and speak as if the ineluctable Laws of the Capitalist means of production,distribution and exchange , i.e. the totality of the Capitalist economic system has ceased to operate. Despite their voluble and disingenuous abusive harangues to the contrary, they e.g  most of Labour most of the time and most of the other ” lef

Winter is here. And so the annual plethora of otiose ideological partisan cant and vacuous platitudes aka  the " NHS is in Crisis " discourse is once again under way. The answer to " will the NHS ever be out of a state of crisis?" appears after many decades to be; no. The only differences to be discerned amongst all the world's national health systems is the degree to which they are all in one way or another perceived to be " performing " or  functioning at a noticeably lower standard than any other arbitrarily chosen health system or systems to which they are compared at any point in time. For example ,the reputable body on such matters , The King's Fund posted online on June 8 2017,  ( herewith an extract gleaned )  from " How Does the NHS Compare Internationally ". " Although the UK has been at the forefront of the development of measures of health care quality (like the  national patient survey  programme) and the use of

2017 ended with metropolitan elitist nonpareil Lord Adonis flouncing out of his part-time day job in government as the head of the National Infrastructure Commission, in protest apparently at the aforementioned pantomime show's handling of Brexit. By doing so Adonis, the putative war-criminal and former UK premier Blair's crony, left the equivalent of dog turd on mischief night on No.10's doorstep. According to the immature miscreant himself it wasn't so much as a pile of unwelcome canine excreta as a protest born out of a personal,divinely inspired epiphany experienced whilst attending a church service at an Austrian ski resort. Adonis expressed the conviction that he is on a mystically inspired mission to delay and derail the EU Withdrawal Bill and with it Brexit in its entirety.He happens to be entirely mistaken on the matter as on March 29 2019,the UK shall legally cease to be a member state of the EU. But empirical data,facts,reason,logic,the Law,Realpolitik
