I’m wondering if it’s worth continuing this little blog. In normal times, it would be fun. But after 14 years of catastrophically-useless Tory rule and facing another 4 years at least of even worse Labour vindictiveness, incompetence and dishonesty, there’s only so long one can go on bringing bad news without getting depressed about the situation. After all, like most people, I’d quite like to be the bringer of good news.
Starmer’s blunders
The list of mistakes by the Starmer government is too long to detail here. So I’ll just mention a few of the more major ones:
Promotion of obvious incompetents – putting fools and knaves like Reeves, Lammy and Miliband in government
A budget to bankrupt Britain – while lying about delivering economic growth, the Starmer/Reeves budget has sent the UK economy into a recessionary doom loop – more taxes, a massive increase in public spending, growth becomes decline, tax revenues fall while spending rises, more taxes, further decline in growth, further collapse in tax revenues while spending keeps going up and so on
Alienating growing America – Starmer seems to be doing everything in his power to distance us from an America which is about to see record growth under Trump. He has deliberately alienated Trump and people like Elon Musk. He rushed to hand over the Chagos Islands containing a critical US military base to one of China’s close allies hoping to get away with this betrayal of Western interests before Trump re-entered the White House. And the latest stupidity was to send a (IMHO) perfumed, foppish popinjay to the US as the British ambassador. Mandelson will go down at a testosterone-fuelled White House like a dose of diarrhoea
Cosying up to a collapsing Europe – apparently Starmer has about 100 civil servants working on ways to get Britain back into the EU and has now appointed Theresa May’s surrender-monkey-in-chief as head of the Foreign Office
Attacks on free speech – yet another worrying sign of thin-skinned Starmer’s uselessness and danger to our country is his decision to release real criminals from prison early in order to make room for Starmer’s political critics. But worse is to come with Starmer’s new definition of Islamophobia. As French writer Voltaire is believed to have written: “If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.”
Net Zero economic suicide – perhaps the worst aspect of the Starmer regime is his decision to put (IMHO) congenital idiot and recidivist failure Ed Miliband in charge of destroying our energy infrastructure in order to de-industrialise Britain and impoverish us all while the whole world laughs at our stupidity. Though, in Starmer’s defence, one had to admit he is only continuing and accelerating a policy also enthusiastically followed by the lying UK-hating Tory garbage and voted for by all but around 5 or 6 MPs.
With all this going on, who would want to continue reporting on the self-inflicted collapse of Britain and much of Western civilisation?
Though there is one bright light glimmering in the enveloping darkness – Donald Trump and his government may be able to save us from our own rulers by implementing policies which are the direct opposite of what our incompetent rulers are doing. When America thrives while the UK and Europe decline, America will show up our rulers for the worthless, lying, incompetent scum that they are.
Labour minister Jess Phillips hit back at Elon Musk for branding her a ‘rape genocide apologist’ amid the furious political row over grooming gangs. In a series of TV interviews, the Safeguarding minister branded Mr Musk’s posts ‘ridiculous’ and claimed he ‘knows absolutely nothing’ about the subject.
Ms Phillips also said that ‘disinformation’ spread by the tech mogul, thought to be the world’s richest man, was ‘endangering‘ her. Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips says she faced a “deluge of hate”. Poor Jess Phillips.
But hold on a minute, dear reader. What do we have here? Oh, its a tweet from the same Jess Phillips from 2015. In this tweet, Jess Phillips accuses George Galloway of being … yes, you guessed it … “a rape apologist“
How strange. When the brilliant Elon Musk (correctly IMHO) launches critisism at Safeguarding Minister (stop laughing you in the back) for refusing to launch an inquiry into mainly Pakistani muslim rape gangs orally, vaginally and anally raping tens of thousands of underage white girls, often aged just 10 to 12 years old and shoving large objects into their vaginas and anuses in order to open them up so several men could penetrate them at the same time while also (I believe) burning some with cigarettes, urinating on them, beating them while raping them and calling them “white whores” and “white c*nts”, Phillips quickly tries to make out that she is the victim. But yet she (according to this tweet which I believe to be genuine) levelled the same “rape apologist” accusation at Galloway.
And then there’s Rachel ‘not-an-economist’ Reeves. Here’s Rachel Reeves in 2022 saying she will stand up for pensioners who freeze in winter. Well, we all know what happened next:
I’m not really sure about the difference between serotonin and dopamine. Professor Google explains:
“Dopamine and serotonin are molecules that send signals throughout the body; these chemicals affect how we feel. When dopamine is released in our brain, we feel a sense of temporary pleasure. Serotonin, while similar to dopamine, creates a long-lasting feeling of happiness or well-being”.
Though what is clear is that these two molecules drive much of our addiction to the Internet and social media.
Prior to the Internet’s takeover of many of our lives, few people were particularly interested in anything we did or our (usually ignorant) opinions. But the Internet has enabled us to reach hundreds, thousands or even millions with our holiday pictures, scenes from our supposedly ‘interesting’ and ‘exciting’ lives and, of course, our (often wildly-misinformed) opinions.
We get a mild buzz when we read a post or watch a video which confirms what we thought. We can intensify that buzz by ‘liking’ what we see. More buzz comes from commenting on what we see and then an even more intense pleasure comes from seeing others agree with us and liking what we post.
I’m as guilty as anyone. When I write an article for websites such as The Daily Sceptic or The Conservative Woman, I’m constantly revisiting the websites that day to see what people are saying about my article and, being a really sad individual, I can’t resist comparing how many comments my article gets compared to other articles published that day.
Perhaps the greatest serotonin/dopamine rush comes from joining in on a social media pile on. Some idiot posts something like “Trump is a fascist” and this gets hundreds of comments and tens of thousands of likes. Then you join in the assault by writing some complete nonsense like “Farage is a fascist too”. Then you become addicted to revisiting whetever site you posted your ‘wisdom’ on in order to see how many likes and further comments you get, all, of course, agreeing with you as most of us only read posts and watch videos which reflect the views of others who inhabit our opwn echo chamber. Then Godwin’s law, also known as Godwin’s rule of Hitler analogies, inevitably makes its appearance. Godwin’s Law is a statement maintaining that if any online discussion continues long enough, someone will almost certainly compare someone else to Hitler.
But these rushes of pleasure seldom last long. So, many of us spend our lives on our phones, tablets or laptops hunting through the Internet’s social media spinning round in our own echo chambers desperately searching for our next addictive serotonin/dopamine rush.
There are few certainties about what will happen in 2025. But one certainty is that under Starmer and Reeves the UK economy will go into a vicious spiral of recession whereby more taxes lead to a fall in GDP and higher unemployment which lead to increased government spending which leads to more tax rises which lead to a further fall in GDP and higher unemployment which lead to increased government spending and leads to less tax being collected which lead to more tax rises which lead to a further fall in GDP leading to less tax being collected leading to more tax increases and so on …….. Meanwhile, aross the Atlantic in the USA, under Trump there will be massive economic growth as he slashes the cost of energy to make US businesses more competitive by encouraging more oil and gas production.
So, given the clearly diverging paths the UK and US economy will take, how will the British media react? I’ll tell you how – by sneering and criticising everything Trump does and says and by hugely exaggerating any problems Trump faces.
I did a quick search on YouTube to find all the torrent of videos released by Times Radio in the 3 days leading up to the November 2024 US presidential vote. In spite of the fact that the opinion polls showed a dead heat between Trump and the vacuous Kackling Kamala creature, here are the titles of the Times Radio’s videos:
Trump will lose the election by 5%
Trump loses voters
Trump in worst state ever
How Trump alienated swing voters
Trump will lose these key states, exclusive poll shows
Democrats optimistic that polls put them ahead of Trump
Why Trump will lose
Trump veers off script with clumsy comments in Pennsylvania
Trump has alienated swing state voters with Madison Square Garden rally hate speech
Trump limps to finish line in disastrous final week
Trump in trouble. Trump loses election momentum
Millions of ‘angry and motivated’ Americans will be final nail in Trump’s coffin
Trump’s huge mistake
Republicans turn on Trump paving way for a crushing defeat
Trump spiralling: ‘unprecedented’ numbers of Republicans are turning on Trump
Trump’s overconfidence will cost him the election
Trump is ‘a nasty individual’ and a threat to the world
Trump HQ terrified
And every one of these Times Radio videos featured one or more Trump haters being interviewed venting their bulging-eyed fury at Trump and anyone ‘stupid enough’ to vote for him. In its main article about the US election on election day, the Times newspaper was still attacking Trump by calling him: “a twice impeached convicted felon” while making no mention of the fact that the supposed ‘felonies’ were only achieved by Democrat judges stretching their interpreyation of US law well past breaking point.
How about Times Radio’s reporting on Trump for the last couple of days? Well, here are some of the latest Times Radio’s anti-Trump attacks:
‘Trump’s New Problem – Trump dealt stark reminder that Isis can ’hit America on American soil’ -perhaps Times Radio has forgotten that the current US president is Mr Biden, not Donald Trump?
‘Tension brews between Putin and Trump over Ukraine war deal’ – if the US wants to end the Ukraine war, of course there will be friction between the US and the warring parties
‘Trump’s tariffs are ‘recipe for economic decline’ – actually, Times Radio, the US economy is about to flourish under Trump while the UK economy falls into an ever deepening recession
‘Let Trump destroy himself’: Democrats handle defeat after Biden sabotaged Harris – here Times Radio is already attacking Trump and predicting he will be a failure while making excuses for the Democrats’ defeat
‘Trump ‘chaos’ will be a repeat of his 2020 downfall’ – and here’s another sneering prediction of Trump failing while no mention is made of the constant attempts by the lying Democrats to impeach and destroy Trump’s first term as president with the Russia collusion nonsense
Hopefully you get the picture by now. The Times is supposed to be a reliable news organisation. But the Times and Times Radio seem to have become enthusiastic propagandists for the Democrats and mouth-frothing Trump haters.
So, get ready for 4 years of foam-flecked, anti-Trump fury from most of the British media. And the more successful Trump is at growing the US economy while the UK economy goes from bad to worse, the more unhinged and deranged the criticism of and anger at Trump will be.
As London’s (IMHO) incompetent, UK-hating, wealth-destroying London Mayor – Sadiq Khan – gets a knighthood, here’s a short video I made about 5 years ago celebrating this (IMHO) repulsive individual’s “achievements”:
I know that you now get put in prison in Britain for writing or saying anything which our rulers consider disrespectful of their masterful management of the mass, open-borders, Third-World invasion (sorry, I meant ‘immigration’) into our continent and country. So, in this short blog, I’ll give two sides to the story about the Magdeburg (Germany) Christmas market massacre and you can decide which is the most likely.
Version 1: The official version
The suspect was an “anti-Islamist” who selflessly worked to protect people fleeing the oppressive Saudi government
Al-Abdulmohsen, who lived in Bernburg, had appeared in a number of media interviews in 2019, describing his work as an activist helping Saudi Arabians who had turned their backs on Islam flee to Europe.
In a BBC documentary from July 2019, he speaks about founding the platform wearesaudis.net after he became an atheist and claimed asylum in Germany. In an interview with Germany’s FAZ newspaper the previous month, he said: “There is no good Islam.”
His account on social media platform X, verified by the Reuters news agency, indicated support for the far-right, anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany (AfD), as well as for tech mogul Elon Musk – who has expressed support for the AfD and has criticised German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Al-Abdulmohsen, who is from a Shia family, was well-known in the Saudi diaspora in the country and reportedly helped asylum seekers, particularly women.
Version 2: The unofficial version
The suspect was accused of rape in Saudi Arabia but managed to avoid deportation from Germany back to Saudi Arabia by claiming to be anti-islamist. Taha Al-Hajji, legal director of the Berlin-based European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights, claims he was “a pariah” among Germany’s Saudi community.
There are precedents for Muslims claiming to be ex-Muslims in order to get asylum in the West. Often they have maintained this facade for a considerable period, which is relevant because Taleb Abdulmohsen apparently claimed to be an ex-Muslim for years. Acid attacker Abdul Ezedi claimed to be a Christian to get asylum in Britain, but was given a Muslim burial. Emad Al Swealmeen went through the conversion process to become an Anglican, and then carried out a botched jihad suicide attack at Liverpool Women’s Hospital. From what little I understand, claiming to be gay is also a quite popular ruse to be granted asylum.
Is suspected Magdeburg Christmas market attacker Taleb Abdulmohsen another fake ex-Muslim? We may never know for sure. And I wouldn’t expect our mainstream media to be enthusiastic about uncovering the truth when the official version of him being an “anti-Islamist” is so convenient. But if we look back at all the other fine people who have chosen to drive vehicles at high speed into crowds of innocents there is a certain pattern which I dare not mention but with which you might be familiar.
As our great leader Keir ‘let’s-cancel-local-elections’ Starmer bravely fights on with his project to alienate the United States while seeking ever closer ties with the EU and China, I thought I’d just show two simple charts.
The first shows the evolution of GDP in the US compared to the main European economies and a few other key countries over the last 18 years:
I think it’s fairly obvious which countries are moving towards a more prosperous future and which are stagnating.
When we look at GDP per capita over the same period, the situation is not so bad for the main European economies. But the US is still the world’s star performer and is likely to achieve even better results under President Trump with his focus on low energy costs for households and businesses and bringing jobs back to the US:
However, China comes off rather badly on the GDP per capita measure and therefore may not be such an attractive future business partner as Komissar Keir imagines.
But being a globalist socialist, Starmer is determined to shackle Britain to the underperforming EU countries and the low-GDP-per-Capita China while doing everything in his power to insult and alienate the successful US
The damage the (IMHO) useless, lying, incompetent, UK-hating Starmer and his bunch of fools and knaves are doing to Britain may be irreversible. Only a financial crisis brought about by a refusal of the bond markets to lend money to the profligate, public-sector-adoring, private-sector-loathing British government can save us.
Meanwhile, as Britain sinks into recession, we can only look on enviously as Trump’s US goes from strength to strength. Recession, impoverishment, energy shortages, immiseration – that’s Starmer’s Labour’s Christmas present to Britain.
I had an article on The Daily Sceptic (link below). The best bit is not the article but the readers’ comments except for some (IMHO) garrulous buffoon who calls himself/herself/itself (I think that covers the main genders as I don’t want to be sent to prison for misgendering someone) ‘Jabby McStiff’ presumably because he/she/it is so ashamed of the utter nonsense he/she/it spews day after day after day after day that he/she/it doesn’t dare use his/her/its real name. :
In Germany, Doris van Geul, a 74 year-old German pensioner was found guilty of “inciting hatred in a manner likely to disturb the public peace”. The lady used her Facebook account to criticise Green Economics Minister Robert Habeck. Habeck was quoted saying that “Germany depends on immigration to meet its labour needs.”
Doris gave her views on immigration: “Blah, blah, blah. We need skilled workers, not asylum seekers who just want a good life here without respecting our values and culture. Send the ones who are here off to work. We don’t need loafers and freeloaders, and certainly not stabbers and rapists.”
Fortunately for us in Britain, all our migrants – both legal and illegal – we are assured are are highly-educated doctors and architects and engineers and suchlike. So they will never become idle benefits-scrounging criminals with a tendency to rape and torture under-age white girls and instead will immediately prove to be a massive boon to our country.
Meanwhile in Britain, the press watchdog has ruled that the phrase “a man who claims to be a woman” is discriminatory.
But there is a bright side to all this madness. Here’s a short video featuring Talk Radio’s Kevin O’Sullivan interviewing former police officer Harry Miller. In 2021Harry Miller won a legal challenge against a national policy for forces to record gender-critical views as non-crime “hate incidents”.
In Mr Miller’s latest clash with the police, he was accused of misgendering a person who had stalked him for about two years because of Harry Miller’s apparently old-fashioned understanding of biology. This stalker had, I believe, a full set of meat and two veg yet dressed in women’s clothing and believed or claimed they were a woman. Apparently Harry disagreed so the stalker reported Harry MIller to the police for misgendering him/her/it. Luckily for the general public there appears to be no crime in that area, so, having apparently nothing better to do, the police used their valuable time to ‘invite’ Harry in for an interview.
Here’s Harry – who seems like a brilliant bloke – explaining how he tried to do a citizen’s arrest on the police officer who was threatening to arrest him.
Here’s a graphic of the ten top manufacturing countries in the world from the excellent Statista website:
Hopefully, you’ll notice that Britain is not on the list. In case you were wondering, the UK is at number 12, just below Brazil at number 11.
Manufacturing output in Britain has been in virtual freefall since at least 1990:
This has, of course, resulted in a massive loss of manufacturing jobs.
And now that our rulers’ ludicrous energy policies have given us some of the world’s highest energy prices:
We can expect a further acceleration of our country’s economically-suicidal de-industrialisation.
Hooray! We’re saving the planet
But it’s not all bad news. As our manufacturing has collapsed, our CO2 emissions have plummeted:
Because of the uber-lunatic way our governments measure CO2 emissions, anything made in Britain counts towards our country’s CO2 emissions. But anything made abroad and then imported into Britain doesn’t count. So the less stuff we make in Britain, the lower will be the country’s CO2 emissions and the faster will be our achievement of Net Zero. And, of course, we all want to win the supposed race to Net Zero in order to become “a clean energy superpower”.
Obviously we are deliberately committing economic suicide and impoverishing ourselves. But as we’re apparently saving the planet, we should feel a warm glow of self-satisfaction at our sacrificies for the survival of humanity in the face of the non-existent climate crisis:
Though that warm glow will be about the only warmth most of us will be able to enjoy if our crazed Net-Zero-obsessed elites have their way.
So, let’s all rejoice at the glorious future our rulers have planned for us:
