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.
To all and every BW.com friend, of all faiths and none, I thought I’d share this Advent Carol, wonderfully sung by The Petersons. Having come this evening from hearing and singing the same words in a very different setting at H.M. Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace I was quite struck by how the same […]
Belated Thanksgiving greetings to the good folk of BW.com from here in England. I hope you all had a great day. Of course, it’s not a festival here in Blighty, but I thought you might like to hear about my lunch on Thanksgiving Day; I think you’ll find it of interest. I was spending a […]
Amid all the jubilation at the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse you may have missed this little clip from the trial. I think this was the point at which the prosecution lost the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtVllgTPyfk
Adverts on British TV used to be clever, funny and focused on getting to you to try a new product or swap from one brand to another. Used to be. Here in the bewildering dystopian sh**show that is the first quarter of the 21st century that is no longer the case. There are still some […]
I don’t know if this has been reported much Stateside yet. As we gathered across the country yesterday to remember those who gave their lives for us in two world wars and many other conflicts, someone was planning to kill even more people. The video here shows graphically (be advised) the detonation of what seems […]
You may have seen folk commenting on the ludicrous Benneton “unisex” hijab. Many have been so unkind as to scoff at this “stunning and brave” innovation. Well, folk are right to scoff. The very idea of a unisex version of a garment that is intended to demonstrate a Moslem woman’s position as a sister in […]
Dear friends, My morning was brightened by a new video from Doreen Tipton. Doreen is a satirical comic character created by Gill Jordan. As Gill is very much at odds with the current Woke culture and collectivist mindset she gave up trying to get on legacy media and did it herself online. In American terms […]
I’ve shared his on Parler, which seems to be taking off a bit again. I thought my BW.com friends might like to see it. UnHerd has some good stuff on it too. https://unherd.com/2021/10/progressives-are-a-gift-to-islamism/?tl_inbound=1&tl_groups[0]=18743&tl_period_type=3&mc_cid=9f1aa76d3b&mc_eid=5d7d84b40a
There’s a lot to get annoyed and upset about, but it’s important to have a laugh. The British public’s increasingly physical reaction to eco protestors blocking roads is one of those things that has made me laugh, I hope you enjoy these vids too. https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/insulate-britain-protester-tied-railing-113800646.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGTPSqI7Iuo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVBfJBVYK7k&t=58s
Yup, called it, not only is the press coverage concentrating on what a lovely guy Sir David was, to the TOTAL eclipse of the motivation for his murder, now we must re-focus on the terrible consequences for the man who murdered him and his family. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/david-amess-father-traumatised-after-son-held-over-mp-s-killing/ar-AAPCEUP?ocid=msedgntp
It’s a strange feeling, when something you’ve written suddenly disappears from a comments section, without any reason given. It’s defiling of course, and rather creepy. It also really, really gets my back up and causes me to dig my heels in. It reminds me of a stanza from the Kipling poem Norman and Saxon. “The […]
We learned today that Conservative MP, Sir David Amess, died of his injuries after being repeatedly stabbed at a constituency surgery. He was a firm supporter of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, a devoted family man, a good friend of Israel and a campaigner against cruelty to animals. Sir David was a classic back […]
It seems problems at the higher levels of the armed forces both sides of the Pond are growing and spreading. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/royal-marines-chief-died-by-hanging-after-concerns-about-his-marriage-and-career-inquest-hears/ar-AAPpt1s?ocid=mmx
On Saturday I went up to central London to take part in a rally. The first public, physical political act I’ve taken part in for the best part of two decades. The rally was a patriotic one in support of the Union and against the Northern Ireland Protocol which the EU is trying to punish […]
Beyond parody In a comment on the RA on the treatment being meted out to the people involved in the events of 6th January I posted about the double standards being applied across the Anglosphere with a picture of British coppers dragging a an enraged driver away from Extinction Rebellion protesters blocking the M25, the […]
