This is one of those things that is often said, and just because it’s often said that doesn’t mean it’s not true. I would say I’m more right-wing, or at least, less willing to compromise, than I was a decade ago. Many of the people I like to watch for their political insight started out […]

Greetings from the UK fellow Deplorables. Or perhaps, coming from the other side of the Pond, I’m a Lamentable, possibly a Woeful.
Be that as it may, I’m here, on this wonderfully and unapologetically American site because I believe strongly that the US and the UK are, or at least should be, close, natural and unshakeable allies.
Briefly, I'm a British patriot and constitutional traditionalist with distinct libertarian tendencies and I believe in the UK's independence from the EU.

Crazy Old Punk For Trump
Here is a clip from British TV, three days ago, of John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, late of the Sex Pistols, explaining his support for the Donald. Warning! This clip does include Piers Morgan, I’m terribly, terribly sorry.

I’m confused…
‘No change there then’…I hear you cry. But really, I am. The lads did cover the point but I thought some cross Pond perspective might not go amiss. How can it be that a day after the polls closed there is not yet a result? I know the USA is a very much larger country […]

Well, Missy Handler sho’ tol’ him…
These days the satire pretty much writes itself.
The massively popular show the Great British Bake Off has fallen foul of the hypersensitive racism crowd. I really have no words. How can reason and moderation prevail against weaponised mental illness? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/great-british-bake-off-branded-offensive-by-japanese-actress-in-row-over-racist-buns/ar-BB1atkTX?ocid=msedgntp

Memes ahoy!
While watching the last Presdidential debate I was struck by a couple of particles of inspiration. Here are the resulting memes. I’m sure others will do them better, but here they are, do what you will with them.
If anyone is trying to tell you the Panda-demic is being handled much better on this side of the Pond, send them these links. The growing frustration with the arbitrary rules being dreamed up and enforced by the control freaks in various levels of government here in the UK is coming out in various, sometimes […]
The reaction from the usual suspects to The Donald’s call for folk not to fear the ChiCom Flu and not to let it rule their lives has been predictable. As usual they misrepresent what he actually said and accuse him of callous carelessness. I’ve seen a variety of talking heads say they can’t believe […]

The Blitz, 80 years on.
Here is my first attempt at creating a video. It’s a very simple commemoration of the Blitz, which began on 7th Sept 1940 and ran on until May 1941. In early October the bombing was extended to other British cities. The video shows photos from the most bombed cities in ascending order. More than 40,000 […]

After reading Cole’s post on voter fraud I re-watched an old GOT episode and was inspired to come upm with this. Do with it what you will.

Four graphs, two maps and a meme.
Rather than a long screed I thought I’d post some things illustrating September in the United Kingdom of Covidia. First, graphs of C-19 deaths from four countries with different lockdown policies. Next, two maps, one showing the location of Covid-19 deaths across England and Wales, and another showing the distribution of a certain religious demographic. […]

Who are they kidding?
I saw a piece about the proscription of a Neo-Nazi group called the Feuerkrieg Division. It’s not unusual to see pieces warning that we should be more worried about the growth of “far right” groups than about Islamist groups. Personally I’m am concerned that the current situation will drive otherwise patriotic folk into the arms […]
The self-evisceration of British culture continues apace. The process is intensified by the fact that the bodies that should be guarding that culture are run by people who are deeply “progressive” and who would rather push their mum off a cliff than be called racist. Here are two stories from the last few days. It’s […]

Some 9-11 thoughts
I didn’t want to post anything on the actual day, but please know that my thoughts are with all my American friends at this time, this year and every year. 9-11 is one of those “Kennedy/Dallas” events where you will never forget where you were. For me there are a number of these, the death […]

It’s not Cute, and it’s not clever
I see the usual phalanx of trendy lefties has jumped to defence of the Netflix movie Cuties. I’ve watched trailers and read reviews, and I don’t doubt what they say is not entirely wrong. I can see the movie might well “comment” on the sexulisation of chlidren, and all sorts of social issues, the stark […]
