  1. Assume everything they tell you is a lie - and you will nearly always be right.

  2. One example of how things have changed. In the 90s, I used to just walk into my local GP's surgery. Now you have to yell into an intercom system to establish if you have an appointment, and then be buzzed into what is basically a fortified compound. That's the difference between a homogenous and high-trust society: and a "diverse" and therefore low-trust society.

  4. If I were French and I saw what was being done to my country - I'd be seething with rage too. Same as every European country actually.

  5. The 2010 equalities act was a piece of evil genius - and the Tories were utterly stupid not to remove it the instant the got into office.

  6. I remember what it was like growing up in rural England in the 80s and 90s - and I can't describe how safe, and civilised things were. I can barely describe the rage I feel at the people who deliberately and maliciously destroyed that.

  7. I think you probably have to go back to 1861-1865 to find another four years that rivals how bad this has been for America. Even WW2 didn't cause such decay or disintegration.

  9. This was a campaign of racial hatred. And we're being ordered not to notice.

  10. And as a "humanitarian super-power". That worked out real well. . . . . .
    45
  11. The problem is people keep giving the same politicians second chances, and third and forth chances. Like with any other crime - if you never punish, you just keep getting the same behaviour. The Americans finally got sick of this and defied their media by voting for the orange man - Europeans think the same old gang of politicians will magically turn over a new leaf if they give them just "one more chance". For the fifth time.

  12.  @Frommerman  "people are getting divorced it's for a fucking reason" And the reason is - "I'm bored, and I know I get half your stuff if I sleep with my yoga instructor"

  13. Things were "going too far" 20 years ago - some of us warned about it then and were ignored by complacent people who consumed MSM.
    39
  14. We all know the solution - but the government will never do it, and the people are either too apathetic, or just too middle-aged to do it themselves.
    32
  15. YES - this is the vast elephant in the room that no one in the media is talking about. It was the largest crime in British history, there has never been any accountability for it, and the anger from it seethes across the country.
    31
  16. I would say two demographics. Neither of which I can name
    21
  17.  @axelhopfinger533  I'm increasingly coming to the same conclusion - I can't think of one single occasion when the Tories reversed something labour did.
    18
  18. "There's no such thing as an objective view of the past." I worry this gets us a little too close to the Marxist view that "everything is just a narrative". Sure no one is perfectly unbiased, but some versions of history have a lot more objective solidity than others.

  19. It really is - medieval Europe was not as bad as modern Islam.
    17
  20. It was already going that way when I was there 20 years ago - I dread to think what it's like now.
    14
  21. I had precisely the same thought - every country in Europe is angry right now, and for the same completely justifiable reason.
    13
  22. Yup. They've called Jordon Peterson and Matt Walsh incels in recent days - and they are both married with children.
    12
  23. It's sad that we've arrived at a point where even completely law-abiding people are best advised to never cooperate in any way with law-enforcement.
    11
  24. "It's not happening - unless you think it's a good thing, in which case it is happening"

  25. Yeah, no one has been able to point to a single "benefit" from any of this. Our society has gotten so much worse since the 90s.

  26. Why should the abortion industry be allowed to ban opposition to it? We're getting stuck on the "silent" part, and letting them get away with normalizing the idea that some groups are protected from disagreement.

  27.  @Phil-n7c  End mass immigration, aggressively cut the size of government and stop exporting wealth. Oh and it was Labour in power during the banking crisis. Are you not embarrassed to speak when knowing so little?

  28. It's for the same reason the British do nothing about the organized mass grape of their children - because it would require them to be "racist". And western societies would literally rather die than risk being called that word.

  29. I considered pursuing a career in counselling a couple of years ago - and I very quickly realized that get through the training I was going have say I believed in a whole truck-load of dogmatic ideology that I wasn't willing to get behind. From what I hear this is getting worse and worse.

  30. He and the bear can just chill without stress.

  31.  @Blazin130  It's actually far worse than a blasphemy law - it not only makes criticism of Islam a crime, but disagreement with Muslim pressure groups a crime, and even discussion of any historical fact the Muslims dislike a crime.

  32. I've been saying things will only get worse for 20 years - and everyone just assumed at some point this would all go away if they ignored it. It won't.

  33. The liberal/left think that book has a happy ending.
    5
  34. We are very slightly moving in the right direction - but the liberal/left still sets the tone of the debate and imposes its pre-existing assumptions on everything. So much that was basic common sense for all of history until five minutes ago - is now totally unsayable.

  35. Perfectly put. 👍

  36. Sadly I'm not surprised to hear this is how the authorities behave. They have treated the victims of the grooming gangs the same way.

  37. And the Tories care infinitely more about "not being racist" than they do about us.

  38. England is terminally ill and won't exist in 30 years. I take no pleasure in that, I regard it as a vast tragedy. But like always with terminal illness, there comes a point where you have to drop denial, and accept the inevitable.

  39.  @Visstnok  Yes, that's a consideration too.
    3
  40.  @WickedScott  The point is the only thing that has gotten better since then is medical/health technology. Everything else is worse, and yet we are told we are the greatest society ever.

  41. "It's not happening: unless you think it's a good thing, in which case it is happening"

  42. Which it is. Tolerance is a pitiful substitute for virtue.

  43. The treason is deep-rooted into the very bones of the establishment.

  44. @ Yes that will happen - but do you prefer things maybe not changing or things definitely not changing? This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint - and it's not going to happen all at once.

  45. Why should the abortion industry be the only industry that is shielded from all protest? Is it because what they do is objectively indefensible?
    2
  46. Of course they know we're right - that's why they have to shame people who don't agree.

  47. Wikipedia is a bad joke. They literally quote Buzzfeed opinion pieces as factual sources.
    2
  48. They will not stop until they have reduced us to a lower level than livestock will they?

  49. This is part of the motive for the catastrophic immigration levels - they make it much harder for the native population to form households and have children.
    2
  50. I've just given up on Labour voters - they can SEE with their own eyes the devastation immigration is bringing on their communities, and they still just vote for more of it. NPCs the lot of them.
