  1. 'We should have a culturally pluralistic Society.' We already have this in Britain - we have one Law for one group of people and another Law for another group of people.

  3. I am sick to death of having one law for one group of people and another law for another group of people in this country.

  4. 'He allows other people to create a space, and then moves into it when it looks safe to do so.' - Carl has just defined NOT A LEADER.

  5. NHS: Sacking all the DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity) cadre in the NHS would save millions over night (they all have gigantic salaries).
    39
  6. The inaction/incompetence of the police, on the front line of the towns (UPWARDS of 50, according to GB News), who refused to help the girls who begged them for protection, were only partially motivated by 'fear of being thought to be racist'. The main reason was that ORDERS FROM THE TOP told them how they had better behave - or else! Strongly Recommended Andrew Gold's interview with Raja Miah, 16 January 2025, in his 'Heretics' series. In this long interview, Miah details the infiltration of the Labour Party at Local and National level by Islamic gangsters.

  7. What depresses me is the number of women who are instrumental in this conspiracy.
    28
  8. He also equates Muslims in Britain with 'Arabs' - whereas most of the Muslims in Britain are from Pakistan or Bangladesh.
    28
  9. They sacked the engineers and replaced them with accountants. There were four train crashes with loss of life in the next three years. Our trains are now owned by SNCF (the French nationalised railway Company), and the Dutch and the Germans. (You forgot to mention the Watford rail crash where one person died.)
    26
  10. The 'Trans' Industry has depathologised so-called 'gender dysphoria' - it is no longer a 'Category' in the DSM. They are now working on the WHO to get it removed from the ICD. There is also a move by WPATH to get paedophilia depathologised. I seriously recommend Benjamin Boyce's interviews. Remember psychosurgery?
    24
  11. Kemi Badenoch is one of a handful (literally) of politicians who appear to me to be remotely normal.
    18
  12. Charlotte Gill deserves a medal - for this work, and her mind-boggling exposures of the total WASTE of taxpayers' money on insultingly trivial or ludicrous research.
    18
  13. Btw, when it comes to middle-aged women/ancient crones wanting to damage girls, think of the mutilation of the genitals of little girls. This is obviously a criminal offence under Common Law (grievous bodily harm, attempted murder, murder), and has been a criminal offence UNDER STATUTE for nearly 40 years. We have had ONE prosecution and conviction for this crime in that time. Dr Precious Momo of St Thomas' Hospital in London sees at least 200 victims of this crime per annum. There are 16 specialised centres up and down the country trying to lessen the suffering of these children. Why?
    18
  14. Abigail Shrier's book on Science and Gender: required reading.

  15. When I think of these four million innocent Muslims in Britain who were blown up in the Tube last week . . .

  16. It's terrible that people like James and Amy Gallagher are being pushed out of clinical psychology when they are exactly the sort of people who are desperately needed. It is just terrible that medicine, psychiatry/psychology - along with every other Institution - have been captured by this Region/Industry. Recommended U-tube videos: the great interviews by Benjamin Boyce with Lisa Marchiano, Genevieve Gluck, Stella O'Malley - and all his other interviews.
    13
  17. Tice and Farage just can't ditch the snobbery.
    10
  18. Godfrey Bloom, in his Heretics interview with Ed Dutton, put forward the hypothesis that Farage's change in behaviour dates from 2010 and his light-plane air crash. Bloom said that before this time, Farage was approachable, flexible and open to other people's ideas. After that he became quite different. This reminds me of David Starkey's hypothesis about Henry VIII, who had a serious jousting accident where he was knocked off his horse, seriously injured and was unconscious for a long time afterwards. Before the accident, Henry VIII was an artistic, athletic, likeable and approachable man. Afterwards he became an intolerant, cruel tyrant who instantly beheaded anyone who disagreed with him.

  19. All praise to Ritchie for his outstanding honesty and courage in telling us the truth. Exulansic has described the reality of these mutilations on her channel - see also 'I am Jazz', but I am worried about her channel being deleted by U-tube.
    10
  20. The UN, I believe, has started pushing the line that the property of 'indigeneity' can only be possessed by a person who belongs to a group which has been 'colonised' within the past 500 years. Thus, by this definition, a British person, one born in Britain, of only British ancestry for the past 1,000 years as far as they know, cannot call themselves 'an indugenous Briton'.

  21. Operation Able Arch in 1983 gave the Russians the screaming abdabs because it looked so like the prelude to a genuine attack on them, and their hands were trembling over the nuclear buttons. It was after this that it was decided that each side would inform the other about such exercises in advance. In recent times, this protocol seems to have lapsed . . .
    8
  22. A non-classical Arabic speaker is advised to be led through the Qu'ran by an ex-Muslim, such as the Apostate Prophet (videos on U-tube), who has read it forwards and backwards in rhe original - as opposed to a Bowdlerised English translation - and analyses what it says.

  23. Scott et al had very bad luck. A strong wind that was due to blow from the Pole towards the North, when they were on the return journey, failed to blow. This was most unusual. With the help of the sails which his sledges carried, this would have speeded their journey back greatly. Scott's team did lots of scientific work and recorded lots of data on the way to the Pole, some of which was being used over a hundred years later in climate science. Amundsen did no scientific research or observations. He sailed to the point giving the shortest possible overland journey to the Pole, then made a bee-line for it. He had spent time with Inuits and listened to them, and he was highly experienced with dog-sledging.

  24. U-tube won't let me 'like' this video.

  25. The proportion of women in the TRA shreds my mind - from Queer Theory founder Judith Butler, 'intersectionality' inventor Kimberlè Crenshaw, binary-eraser Gayle Rubin, and so-called psychologists/psychiatrists and physicians and surgeons and teachers/lecturers.

  26. It will criminalise anyone WHO QUOTES FROM THE QU'RAN!! - SInce there are verses in it!, and in the Hadith, which are less thN flattering to Islam.

  28. I am a Luddite and a very prosaic person. Can't 'we' ie the code writers/computer people just develop Specialised AI (counting the number of erythrocytes per cubic millimetre of blood, much more quickly and accurately than any human could do), and put a complete moratorium on developing General AI? Just a suggestion.

  29. Top male 20 per cent - of what? Intelligence? Wealth? Qualifications? Social status? Physical strength? Musical ability? Boldness (attracted to astronauts and test pilots)? Empathy? Sense of humour? Btw, pheromones have a very individual effect, otherwise we would all fancy the same guy. The attraction to an unrelated person is supposed to maximise the range of the immune system in the offspring.

  30. I can't praise this report enough. You deserve a journalistic prize for this report, John.

  34. 'A couple of new Units' - each employing 65 people at £60,000 each per annum. Bargain!

  35. 'The Wicker Man' is a v good film (original version). Apparently, the rituals depicted are taken from Fraser's 'The Golden Bough', but how authentic that is, is open ro question. The Romans accused all their enemies (except the Greeks) of human sacrifice and complete barbarism. How true this always was is highly questionable. It is notable that when the Roman Empire retreated, the territories that were now 'barbarian' again had no Roman Games. They just ceased to exist in the now non-Roman territories.

  36. So - condoms and vasectomies, then, guys?

  37. Smaller brains: people are definitely getting dimmer - or am I just getting older? ('The alternative to old age is death.' - Brigitte Bardot, a French film star of the 1950s and 60s.)

  38. Point of information: the Taliban in Afghanistan have just banned women and girls from training as nurses and midwives. Women and girls are not permitted to receive medical treatment from male medical staff.

  39. The Sandiford Clinic is Scotland's Tavistock. I see no prospect of its closing in the near future, due to Wee Kim Jong McKrankie's stranglehold on the one-party State that is Scotland.

  40. I don't think Simon is correct in thinking that the importation and application of American Critical Race Theory in Britain is irrevocable. I think an increasing number of people are becoming able to differentiate between American and British experience.

  41. The patient overheard Nurse Melle referring to him by the pronoun that corresponded to his BIOLOGICAL SEX - not his imaginary 'gender'. She was physically threatened and racially abused, but apparently this was acceptable.
    3
  42. Let's keep calling it 'Guy Fawkes Day', and not 'Bonfire Night' as the BBC insists on calling 5 November, depriving it of meaning, erasing its historical context, and (I suppose) trying not to offend Catholics. It certainly offends me.

  43. If humans have free choice in mating, assortive mating will tend to take place. That is, people will tend to gravitate towards and marry people of the opposite sex who have a similar level of competence and intellectual ability to themselves. It is common to find a high level of matching of IQ scores between the members of a married couple. There is also regression towards the mean, which is the tendency of the offspring of a couple to have an IQ score closer to the average IQ of the population than the average IQ of their parents.

  45. If you are a regular viewer of James O'Brien, you need therapy.

  46. It looks to me as if he wants to be punished. He definitely needs a psychoanalyst - possibly also a Roman Catholic priest to whom to make a full confession (it should take about a month) and then do penance - the rest of his life in a Trappist Monastery, perhaps.

  47. Who wasn't 'flawed' when they were young and foolish? For heavens' sake, are we to be punished for failing an exam when we were 16 *for the rest of our life"?

  56. We like animals who remind us of human babies in the face. Sexual dimorphism: elephant seals. The 'beachmaster' has a harem of much smaller females.

  57. You don't need to be in any respect religious to abhor the indoctrination of children - some of pre-primary age - politically, their grooming for sexual abuse by adults, and their recruitment into the 'Trans' Industry. This is happening in British schools.

  65. It's still going on.

  66. Going back 65 years, I still think it's worth reading Isaac Asimov's 'Robot' stories, 'I, Robot' and 'The Rest of the Robots'. They are amusing little stories but they discuss a lot of the questions we raise about robots and AI. I also liked 'Marionettes Incorporated' included in the frame story 'The Illustrated Man' by Ray Bradbury. I am now keen to read Heinlein's novel.

  67. What happened to Cambridge?

  68. More recommended U-tube videos: from - terffan man Three rather long videos showing in detail the capture by the Queer Project of the Education System in Wales, but it will apply elsewhere. It shows how the 'Trans' Religion/Industry is a prong of the Queer Project to Queer (verb) our Society and prepare it for Maoism. The capture of all our Institutions has been planned meticulously with military precision. Mutilated children and adolescents are but collateral damage. It is also interesting to listen in to Karlyn Borysenko's streaming of a Committee meeting of Antifa: Socialism Saturday - Queer and Trans Self-defense and Fascist Mobilization. This demonstrates just how Antifa uses the 'Trans' concept and ideology as a tool in their attempt to 'Queer' Society and install Maoism. It explains why Antifa always turn up when women want to talk publicly about their experiences, and to express their concern about the danger to children and teenagers, to disrupt them and threaten them with violence.

  70. The gangsters used lots of drugs to subdue the girls (in 50 or more towns throughout England, and some in Scotland), over four or more decades. Who benefitted financially from this? Where did the money go?
    2
  71. I totally get specialist AI or machine learning. Counting the erythrocytes in blood quickly and accurately, for example, is obviously A Good Thing. But I am scared of general AI. I don't see how an intelligence without a body would have any basis for or source of empathy or morality.

  72. Interesting thesis, and I wouldn't put it past 'them' - Lockheed SkunkWorks, NASA, the Pentagon et al. BUT, sightings only/mainly in USA? What about Rendlesham Forest (Suffolk, England), Verghena (Brazil) - I've probably got the spelling of the town wrong - Ruha (Zimbabwe), Melbourne (Australia), Chapelcross (Solway Firth, Scotland), Pentyrch, near Llantrisant (Wales)? And, also the Phoenix Lights . . .

  81. Unfortunately, our fate is not always dependent on our choices. Life is much harder than that. Other people have free will too. Ever heard of pregnancy caused by rape-incest? This sometimes happens to very underage girls. Also, there is the insistence of antiabortionists that a woman carrying a dead baby should continue with the pregnancy to term. What about double monsters? These are twins which have not separated (more than so-called Siamese twins), with perhaps one body and two heads, and either four or eight limbs. A normal per-vaginam birth would be impossible and no obstetrician would put a scar on a uterus for this. You say that no reasonable person could desire an abortion, but what if they had been gang-raped by criminals? The woman would not even know who the father was - only that he was a criminal. She might then feel that she had a cancer inside her - one that she had to get rid of at all costs. These may be worst-case situations, but they are all real-case situations, and taking an extreme antiabortionist stand only makes life more difficult for women. The alternative to legal abortion is not no abortion; it is criminal abortion. Read what obstetricians of the 20th century have to say about this.

  82. I knew there was something wrong when, at an introductory lecture on 'Twitter' fifteen or so years ago, I asked the lecturer what this abbreviation that she used periodically meant. it was 'IRL' and she told me, while looking at me as if I had horns gtowing out of my head, that it meant 'In real life'. I couldn't help laughing, but I don't think that went down too well

  88. It's a takeover by the Queer Project. They have captured every Institution of our Society, and the aim and mission statement is the destruction of our Society. Required viewing: terffan man. This is three (quite long) videos describing the capture of the Welsh Government, but it is generally applicable. It is a deep-dive into the foundation, financing and application of the Queer Project, which has been meticulously planned over 20 years with military precision. Another good U-tube channel is EDIJester - he is very informative and also amusing.

  102. Those parents - I'm afraid mosr of them seem to be women - who have acquiescsed to their child's sex 'change' have a vested interest in the 'Trans' Cult being regarded as normal and 'Trans' people being given their Rights legally and socially. This usually means allowing men to compete in women's sports, allowing male convicts to be held in women's prisons - even when they are rapists, allowing men who claim to be female but have not had their genitals amputated to own spaces which should be private to women. They dread admitting, for example to their son whose penis was amputated at age 16, that no-one will accept him, either societally or personally, as a woman. Therefore they will fight tooth and nail against facts and truth.

  108. Margaret Thatcher's policy of putting council housing into the property market was definitely a factor. The then tenants of council houses/flats were offered the opportunity to buy the property they were renting at a knock-down price. Everyone knew what the market price of the property would be - immediately, far less in the future. A person would have to have been a saint not to have taken advantage of this. These houses then became unaffordable for people who would otherwise have been qualifying for a council flat. Property rents follow price of houses. So people can't afford rents either. Immigration has held down wages. Boris Johnson's back-of-the-envelope scheme to allow people on benefits to have a mortgage is unsustainable.

  109. The word 'gender' should not be used in any educational or medical/psychological setting. It should not be used in any official document. The concept of 'gender' is inapplicable to biological organisms, and has no place outside a book of grammar describing several European languages (le jardin, la table).
    1
  110. Btw, Josh, J Money's twin patients (the Reiner twins) both took their own lives. Also, please NEVER use the word 'gender' in ANY context relating to biological organisms - educational or medical/psychiatric. The concept of 'Gender' exists in grammar books of several European languages to describe common nouns - nowhere else.

They are not a political Party, only a Limited Company, jointly owned by Nigel Farage and Mohammad Ziauddin Yussef.

  117. Use of the term 'gender' puts us in danger of falling into essentialism and therefore sexism. 'Men would tend to the cows.' Connor, have you ever heard of milkmaids or shepherdesses? Some Victorians: 'Girls who read "difficult" books will render themselves sterile'. Men are physically stronger than women - more muscle, less fat, greater heart-lung capacity, denser bones, longer legs, greater upper-body strength. This is the result of testosterone throughout male puberty. Medieval times: women in farming, milking cows, making butter and cheese, making beer, helping to bring in the harvest (no tractors, far less combine harvesters), oh, and raising poultry, collecting the eggs, and killing and plucking the birds to sell or eat. Cooking, and cleaning and laundry, before housework was mechanised. Result: probably death at 35. Industrial Revolution: women (and children, until Lord Shaftesbury) in factories, in cotton mills, in coal-mines, pulling coal wagons when they were pregnant. Btw, I know there are some cultures which sequester menstruating women, who are regarded as unclean, but in our culture to my knowledge no difference is made between menstruating and not - you don't get a day off from the cotton mill because you have the first day of menstruation. You should certainly not now be taking any time off from the office, classroom or lab. My point? Complaints are made about 'women working' when the work they start to do is non-manual, interesting, well paid or influential. Fun facts: the first computer programmer was called Ada. She lived in the middle of the 19th century; the only person to have received a Nobel Prize for physics and another for chemistry was called Marie. They both had children, btw. It is the epitome of sexism to suggest that a woman who exhibits political acumen (Queen Elizabeth Tudor of England), or has the charismatic inspiration to guide an army to victory (Joan of Arc) must really have been a man, as some gender idealogues have maintained.

  123. We don't know that we are the first technologically advanced civilisation. There could well be civilisations a million years ahead of us in scientific knowledge. The Milky Way is quite a large Galaxy - not as large as our neighbour Andromeda. Our Galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter. It contains hundreds of billions of stars. There are billions of Galaxies. Carl, see the Phoenix Lights, the Virginia, Brazil incident, the Ruha, Zimbabwe incident. Listen to the flyers of the American Navy Air Arm. These people do not wear tinfoil on their heads. (See, for example, Lex Fridman's interview with Ryan Graves.) They are trained observers. Why would intelligent aliens even use radio waves - they are probably telepathic. In order to get to the stage of development that can move at 30 Mach without a sonic boom and then stop dead, you would have to survive for a long time. That means you would have to be highly developed and mature politically and psychologically. I would guess that such aliens would find us too interesting from an anthropology point of view to exterminate us. In any case, if they wanted to, they could do it in a heartbeat. So stop denying and atop worrying.😄
