  1. Spot on as usual. The amount of pro Zelensky information being pumped out to the gullible masses is frightening.

  3. Boris Johnson is widely believed to be Jeremy Corbyn in a fat suit.

  5. He would be called Tristram, wouldn't he? You couldn't make it up.

  6. It almost becomes irrelevant now. Whatever we have suffered - and the reasons for it - will disappear in the economic chaos resulting from taking sides in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

  7. Science seems riddled with politics. The authors of The Great Barrington Declaration, calling for a new approach to the coronavirus pandemic, are constantly accused of "working for a right-wing think-tank".

  8. Am I alone in feeling sad that Simon doesn't like Laurence?

  9. I have great fun haunting the comments sections of loony left US YouTube channels. The amount of repetitive and insane insult levelled at Trump is unbelievable.

  10. The elucidatory prognoses of contemporary pedagogues are frequently so amorphous as to be chimerical.

  11. There are no rights, only privileges.

  12. Thank you Simon for so clearly coalescing and confirming my instinctive views in this matter.

  13. As an interesting corollary referencing an earlier form of transport there was once a black lock-keeper on the Grand Union Canal at Harefield, Middlesex. His lock was called Black Jack's Lock. He has no plaque. Instead the lock has been renamed Jack's Lock in the interests of racial harmony.

  14. "A minor inconvenience", according to George Soros.

  15. There's a YouTube channel which claims that both the Vikings and the Stuart dynasty were black.

  16. Mine too. Now I use a Toytown analogy with naughty pixies and teddy bears. There are only seven naughty pixies in Toytown but they do over half of the naughty things, which is why Mr Plod gets so angry with them etc etc.

  17. The probable answer is that many senior British politicians and government officials are in the pay of investment companies such as Blackrock, which have a vested interest in promoting the Ukrainian cause.

  18.  @tonymccaul7159  This may well be true, but the Russian Federation is not the Soviet Union. Pretending that it is has been a major platform for NATO expansionism, which is in itself a vehicle for American commercial expansionism. Another objective is the reduction of Russia to the status of a second-rate power which can at the same time be held up as the permanent enemy the military/industrial complex needs in order to continue making vast profits from the American taxpayer.

  19. I think it's a mistake to relate any of Soros' activities to his Jewishness, other than to say that like many Jews he is very clever; an understatement really. He is probably one of the most intelligent men to have ever lived. His is, however, an embittered man. He wanted to be a philosopher but was rejected by the philosophical establishment and so turned his immense intellect to the more mundane business of making money. He is also an enigma. In his seminal work "The Alchemy of Finance" he makes it clear that intelligent misdirection is a key tool in the process of financial manipulation. So are his "philanthropic" activities simply the result of a kindly nature? I very much doubt it. Mammon is a jealous God and I strongly suspect that the Soros millions are being invested in acts of deliberate social and economic sabotage, designed to turn those millions into billions through forms of economic manipulation so esoteric that they evade the comprehension of ordinary mortals. It is also possible that his ultimate revenge will be the collapse of all major world currencies and the consequent plunging of the world into total chaos. His timing is about right. It should just about start to visibly happen as he shuffles off the mortal coil.

  20.  @JaceFalcon  I'm puzzled. You say Trump will get his butt kicked but quote an anti-Biden slogan. You know the translation, don't you?

  21. On a similar theme there has been a huge outcry in the US media after a fan at a baseball game was heard on TV repeatedly shouting the n-word while a black guy was at the plate. Twitterati calls were made for his incarceration - and similar punishment for all the other fans who heard him and did nothing. Turns out the guy was shouting at a man dressed as a dinosaur. It was the team's mascot and the racist was calling out to him because he wanted a selfie. The mascot's name is "Dinger."

  23. Your best yet. Age, experience and profound knowledge demolish woke idiocies. I really do think it is time for all good men and true to start fighting dirty. We have nothing to lose but our chains!

  24. There is an old story about a woman who had been a given a circular pendant bearing a complex and rather lovely Chinese ideogram. At a dinner party she met a Chinaman and delightedly asked him if he could translate the characters. "Certainly," he replied, "It says: Registered Prostitute, City of Shanghai."

  25.  @Vzzdak  There are no signs whatsoever that Russia wished to expand westwards after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia had learned the lesson of history that ultimately empires are not worth the bother, and often lead to the implosive destruction of the central authority. NATO is a vehicle of American expansionism, and needs Russia to appear to be a threat in order to survive.

  26. The trouble with this analogy is that Putin isn't Hitler and the Russian army is not the Wehrmacht. Hitler made his intentions clear in his writings - and so has Putin. They are very different. Putin regretfully admits that recovering the Russian Empire is not only impossible but undesirable. He may be lying, of course, but his reasoning is pretty convincing. I fear World War may kick off due to an over-reaction to Putin's current attempts to maintain control of the mineral riches of Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, as many imagine it to be the same as Hitler's first moves in the 1930s. I don't think it is. Historical analogies can be very dangerous. History does NOT repeat itself very often. It may superficially appear to do so but the differences between two situations are generally far more significant than the similarities.

  27. I hate to say it - but instinctive racism is at work here. Ukrainians and Israelis are perceived as "like us" ie white. These other conflicts involve only brown jobs, and thus Western news editors put them way, way down on their list of priorities.

  28. I had a neighbour once with a dog of the same name. I always thought it was a good job we lived in the country when he called it in for its dinner.

  29.  @Vzzdak  The military conflicts in which the Russian Federation has been involved have not been undertaken to expand westwards - or in any direction for that matter. They have purely been to secure its existing borders and to protect its existing interests. The invasion of Ukraine very much enters into this category. NATO countries, by contrast, have been involved in far more military adventures, most of which can clearly be seen to be motivated by the desire to expand America's imperial ambitions. Here is a list of invasions, coups, and interventions by NATO members since the break up of the Soviet Union. Iraq (twice) Rwanda Yugoslavia Nepal Afghanistan Liberia Ethiopia Guinea Bissau Philippines Venezuela Syria Iran Libya Colombia Haiti Ukraine Yemen Palestine Apart from being obvious that NATO needs an enemy in order to justify its existence, the fact that the Russian Federation has tried on a number of occasions to join and been curtly refused does rather tend to emphasise the point.

  30.  @herbaliser4207  Since Soros is anti Israel and funds extremist groups within that country, this seems highly unlikely. The government has made attempts to ban him - as he is from several other countries.

  31.  @williambowling8211  Then you are of the first school, outlined here. You believe these rights came into existence as a part of creation?

  32.  @Vzzdak  Once again you prove the point. What more effective way of discouraging military expansion could there be than for the country you fear might so expand to join your alliance? In any case it is ridiculous to say the point of NATO is to discourage military expansion. The exact opposite is the case. It exists primarily as a market place for the arms trade and the military/ industrial complex upon which the American economy depends.

  34.  @Shazbat55  Everything seems a conditioned response rather than the result of actual thought. I blame it on the educational process whereby they get rewarded for repeating buzzwords and glib summaries. They are as conditioned as Pavlov's dogs. The word "Trump" makes them bark and slaver.

  35. Depends where and under what circumstances!

  37. It's unfortunate for everybody that the obvious fact of skin colour enables these false distinctions to be made.

  38.  @RightTurnClyde  I think your assessment is totally wrong. Trump believed and still believes (as do I) that the election was stolen. There is a mountain of circumstantial evidence, not least of which are the final figures themselves. It was done very professionally and it will it be incredibly difficult to discover all the methods used - but events have overtaken us and a full investigation will be something for the future. Unless similar methods are used next year the Republicans ought to take the house and senate and 2024 should hopefully see Trump or his nominee in the White House.

  39. And don't let's forget that Del Boy Johnson has got a billion quidsworth of dodgy vaccines to knock out a bit sharpish.

  40. Of course the rules were pointless, as anyone with half a brain can see. But just imagine the shitstorm from the paranoia junkies if Boris had broken ranks and said so!

  41.  @RoboticPope  Far less impactful. The metaphorical quotation marks were only removed after the final denouement when the sad, silly truth was revealed.

  42.  @Vzzdak  Oh yes, Tremendous sense. The "tripwire" has now set off a disastrous war in which thousands are dying and a country lies in ruins.

  44. Having fallen foul of YouTube's new algorithm several times this week, I am convinced it is not only pro-Palestinian, pro-Ukraine and anti-Trump but somehow manages to illustrate the very worst in the new woke, fascist cancel culture which is destroying freedom of speech and freedom generally. Strange times indeed.

  47. Try telling people this and they think you're mad. They're as brainwashed as Soviet citizens were back in the day.

  48. Does Black History Month make any mention of the tens of thousands of slaves who escaped the plantations to join with the British during the American War of Independence? Just askin'

  49. Many people in the BBC are suffering from a condition I have identified, and dubbed "melaninomania." This is an unhealthy obsession with skin colour. It is common among upper middle-class people suffering from guilt because they are still spending the money their forbears earned in the slave trade.

  50.  @archiebald4717  I agree. Russia's economic war will find us defenceless.
