  1. I used to be a normie like you, but then I got a mosque on my street and can no longer ignore reality.

  2. I visited Tory HQ yesterday. I saw couple of Range Rovers parked outside.. a few Jags and a Bentley. There was even a Volkswagon. But I was encouraged to note. There were zero Seats.

  3. Meanwhile the local mosque is free to blast their prayers out at 10,000 decibels five times a day and assault the eardrums of everyone within a half mile radius.

  4. One thing that was clear is the regime had a massive allergic reaction to Liz Truss, in a way that had some similarity to that of Trump. And that alone is enough for me to like her.

  5. I'm a farmer's son; I still live and sometimes work on our family farm, although I have my own job elsewhere as a tradesman. Incidentally I earn more personal income than either my dad or my brother, who are the farmers. I have concluded it is nigh on impossible for most non-farmers to truly understand the property-rich, cash-poor concept. Most people could not conceive of why that one farmer at the 3 minute mark would go and get a job elsewhere if he was struggling financially, rather than just sell some land and get the cash. For a farmer, the land is like your body. The idea of selling a chunk of your farm is like having a limb amputated. Especially worse if it has been in the family for generations and is the birthright of your children. Most farmers would feel like a total failure if they ended up having to do that. Which explains a lot of the mental health and sue-ee-side issues that the farming community has.

  6. Connor's on the show every day and I manage it.

  7. I've lived through those same years but honestly, while there was a constant slow decline, society seems to have gone off the edge of a cliff in the last ten years.

  8. We're basically getting into prepping territory here.

  9. I "dabbed" in front of my 12 year old nephew recently (that's the viral dance move from Fortnite that was a craze in the last few years), thinking he would be amused. He wasn't. In fact he told me it was sad and out of fashion now. "Mewing" is the current thing with the kids and, yes, it's as moronic as you'd imagine. But I see politics as similar. It's been the trendy thing to be left wing and a bit communist, even if you have no understanding what that actually means, among the young for some time. As with most things, that is now becoming passé and we see increasing numbers of zoomers swinging to the right and embracing it.

  10. I hope you either stole that book or got it second hand from eBay.

  11. I exercised my courtesy by holding a shop door for a middle aged woman with a large bag, who scowled at me and said "I hope you are not just holding the door open for me because I am a lady...?" My response to her was that the question of whether she was a "lady" was unclear to me, but that I was holding the door open because I was a gentleman

  12. King Sargon! I'll gladly march down to Buck Palace with Carl and watch him, like Bolingbroke, pry the crown out of the king's hands. The rebellion is long overdue!

  14. And as others have pointed out, it's completely fine that Egypt have simply shut their border. No problem at all about that.

  15. Back to the more innocent days of Numa Numa kid and Ermahgerd Girl.

  16. Voyager 1 is travelling at 60,000+ kph. Which is about 20 times faster than the fastest jet we've ever designed. At that speed, Voyager 1 would take 70,000 years to reach the NEAREST star to us. This is what helps me reflect on the scale of space.

  17. Ah yes, Leilani. I have "admired" her since I was a slip of a lad in the 90s.

  18. It's kind of like the guy who wants to join your club and then you hear on the grapevine that he's been kicked out of every club he's ever joined.

  19. Exactly my point. We have 3 kids. The question of money never came into it even though we are a modest income family. It wasn't a matter of economics, it was an existential imperative.

  20. Gamergate started me on the journey, then I binged Stefan Molyneux in 2015 and then the final act was Brexit. I had voted remain but I changed my mind literally the day after when I saw the massive sperg tantrum of the left after they lost. And if those things red-pilled me, the last straw was spending some time working in London. This was so shocking and disturbing to me, as a country boy raised in the leafy shires of Tolkien's Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, it positively radicalised me to the far-right.

  21. As the man said, after a generation or two their birth rate is the same as the natives. This isn't our problem. The shorter term issues of importing literally millions of people are more pressing IMO.

  22. @stuartsteel1 You can tell his callers are heavily screened for exactly this purpose.

  23. That Callum smiles too much for my liking 😏

  24. Interestingly I remember reading The Selfish Gene by Dawkins in which he asserted that there is no genuine altruism at all in nature. Everything apparently selfless we do has some benefit to us, even if it is helping your friend simply because they need help... if doing so makes us feel good then this is advantageous to our mental health. And it goes without saying that subconscious rationale predicts your friend may well reciprocate the favour if you ever you need it. It can be considered a selective pressure. People who behaved in this way would obviously be valued in their social groups and therefore would thrive.

  25. Up yours woke moralists. We'll see who cancels who.

  26. So the format on JOB's show is to filter out any articulate callers so you're just left with Baz the taxi driver, who knows that things are very broken but doesn't have the vocabulary or eloquence to express it. James will then mock and patronise him, dance around him with semantics and lead him down blind alleys until declaring himself the victor.

  27.  @halfzack1317  But my point, without wasting keyboard strokes with self-masturbatory, snarky ad-hominems, is that back then people were generally no less intelligent than they are now. And yet we did not see this nonsense. I don't believe this is an intelligence issue but a cultural and academic one.

  28. Nobody gets to the end of their lives and regrets having children, no matter the economic hardship of bringing them up.

  29. @daveeol1987 are you sure you got that the right way around?

  30. I've been consistently impressed with this young man ever since he first popped up on GB News a couple of years ago.

  31. A certain amount of pragmatism also.

  32. I don't think something gaining a mass geberal audience necessarily lowers it's quality, but designing something for a mass general audience usually does.

  33. Congratulations. Nothing matters as much as your child when you have him/her. And nothing matter as much as the child you want when you are trying to have one.

  34. Well, it is the obligation of the physicist to address what appears to be physical reality. As such, determinism will be his logical conclusion. But no physicist will deny that for some reason we all feel as if we have free will. And as such it is best to conduct our lives as if we do.

  35. The Tories should be running this as their campaign video.

  36. I thought the same. My nan used to have one around her neck on a cord. And that was 20 years ago.

  37. Well I suppose the solution is a collapsing birth rate and society along with it, then the ensuing breakdown of infrastructure that leads to poor healthcare and higher child mortality and we begin the cycle of regrowth.

  38.  @MrReubenTishkoff  Jeez yeah I have to admit I thought she was cute back then 🤣

  39. When you are old, you will not regret the child(ren) you had, no matter what hardship you faced bringing them up. Just do it. Or it will be too late and you won't have a second chance at the very reason we are put on the earth. If you have to work your fingers to their bloody bones, your child will make every moment of it it worthwhile.

  40.  @SquarishLink  That a very bleak outlook. Is this something to do with your location? Do you have a disability? Do you have a social group at all? I consider myself a man of modest physical looks, status and income and I have found myself married with children after courting several good women some years ago. None of the reasons you give in your last sentence are sufficient to hold back most men, despite what some mgtow (is that still even relevant) communities might tell you.

  50. Connor, we differ in so much as, while I am also an Englishmen, I care a lot more about Iceland than I do about Israel. Degrees of familiarity.
