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.
Some while ago I posted about how it’s sometimes possible to get around the Al Gore Rhythms that censor speech online by using Yoda speak. Changing the word order, but leaving the message intelligible. Tonight, I was moved to post a couple of things on a Guardian (where else?) piece on how few black people […]
Interesting how the press reports things. Just imagine if The Donald were still in place as President. If it had been him attending the funeral of Her Late Majesty today. If he had insisted on using the massive “Beast” to get to Westminster Abbey, instead of the transport laid on for visiting heads of state. […]
To all my friends at BW.com, although the 11th of September 2022 is the day Her late Majesty travels from Balmoral to Edinburgh, starting her journey to her final resting place at Windsor, I wanted to say that 9/11/2001 is not forgotten. It has been noticeable that the vile statements coming from some of the […]
After a life of 96 years and reign of 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II has died. It’s odd. This is something that was going to happen sooner rather than later. Something that I, and friends and colleagues, have been involved in making plans for at a royal palace and will now be involved in delivering. […]
Greetings from the UK. With a new Prime Minister and with the Mother of the Nation lying ill at Balmoral, attended by doctors, things are very much in flux. Still, something that is a little ray of sunshine is what looks like the beginnings of a cultural fight back. GB News is still going and […]
Watching the former Vice-President’s egregious performance recently I was inspired to come up with this. Feel free to suggest captions.
The good folk at the Babylon Bee do some great stuff, but here they’ve excelled themselves. Check out this masterly mickey take of Amazon’s The Rings of Power, the latest egregious attempt to subvert a franchise in the name of wokery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twmojN_N90Y
One of the glories of Hampton Court Palace is the Tudor Kitchens. At over fifty thousand square feet they are the largest, mostly complete survival of 16th century kitchens anywhere. For nearly thirty years the Historic Kitchens Team have conducted “experimental archaeology” there, cooking food from the 16th century in the original kitchens, in authentic clothing. Using […]
Just as a little antidote to the relentless narrative about America being uniquely violent, here is a report about a weekend of violence in the oh so sophisticated and disarmed capital of the UK. No doubt the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, will blame Brexit, global warming, racism, and anything and everything except his own […]
This will be a bit of an exercise in preaching to the choir, but maybe a sermon on a familiar subject from an unfamiliar direction might be useful. It will certainly help me get it off my chest. Watching the absurdly ill-informed and utterly emotional response to the Uvalde school shooting here in the UK […]
Here is an excellent video from the lads at Triggernometry, talking to James Esses, a man who has been cancelled for expressing concerns about transitioning children. It’s a UK vid, but the issues are universal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjDSlpCuWuk
Last Thursday there were elections across the UK to various bodies. The Pseudo-Conservative government of Boris Johnson got a bit of a kicking, but not as much as they deserve. One result is really out of the usual two-party narrative and says an awful lot about changes in Britain. Located just to the east of […]
A number of commentators have come out with statements along the lines of the title of this post over the last few weeks and months, motivated by the latest madness. This morning I became aware of yet another milestone of the road to Hell laid out by the enemies of Freedom and the West, paved […]
As race and the history of slavery is very much to the fore, I thought I’d lay this fascinating story from the early 1700s before you. Last Black History Month, (the UK’s BHM is in October) one of the various things done was the production of an alternative to the iconic London tube map by […]
People living under the repression, scarcity, and occasional sheer terror of Marxism, have often dealt with it by coming up with some deliciously dry, dark humour. The jokes are often not just funny, but enlightening. I’ve gathered and re-told some of them here. I hope you enjoy them. *** It’s 2016, Fidel Castro has just […]
