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.
Here’s meme that needs a little historical introduction. There has been, and will no doubt be much more, largely ill-informed talk in the press about previous military interventions in Afghanistan. I will do a post about Britain’s 19th and early 20th century involvement later, but for the moment here is a little about our first […]
In an attempt to give you something to shake your heads about that’s not to do with Afghanistan and not happening in the US, here is a news item from the UK. I’ve mentioned on here the two young Moslem female police officers in London who are being investigated about grievous breaches of police standards. […]
It may be the capital city of my country, but I find my feelings about London growing colder day by day. I’ve even started to refer to it as Mordor. Policing is a big part of that. I was raised to have a deep respect for the police and I’ve known and worked with a […]
Had to be done…
In part one I looked at the interesting new mixed swimming event that places the athletic difference between men and women into sharp focus. In part two we have a more controversial story from the swimming at this Olympics, one that centres on the racism bogeyman. You might, if you were an especially naïve toddler […]
The demented politicisation of sports (as well as absolutely everything else) continues apace and is plumbing ever greater depths. Swimming has thrown up a couple of fine examples so far during this Olympics. One about gender, the other about race. In part one let’s look at gender and a genuinely interesting new swimming competition, […]
Although we are well on our way out of restrictions here in the UK the effects of the various actions taken to deal with the virus are still throwing up weird and sometimes funny side effects. Some of them practical, some of them the result of the mindset that develops when people have to live […]
It’s not just America celebrating at the moment. Watching the desperate, Nuremburg like “celebrations” of 100 years of the Chinese Communist Party I was inspired to make this.
I wish all the good folk on BW.com, and all the USA, a happy 4th July. I sincerely hope you won’t see this today due to being outside with friends and family, enjoying yourselves and celebrating your nation’s birth. When you do see it, please know that, whatever the Wormtounges of the MSM may say, […]
In 1930 W. C. Sellar and R. J. Yeatman published their famous book, 1066 and All That, a work that can fairly be regarded as the start of the decades long project to teach the British, and especially the English, to feel shame rather than pride in their history. Marxist historian Raphael Samuel said the […]
So, there I was wandering the arid, empty space that is post purge Parler and I came across this. I liked it, I hope you do too. https://youtu.be/O7SvFffTwZg
Today is the 32nd anniversary of the Tianenmen Square massacre in Beijing. There had been seven weeks of protests that grew out of the funeral of “liberal” CCP official Hu Yaobang. The protests called for reforms of the party and its systems, such as ending corruption and the abuse of power. Focused on Tianenmen Square, […]
Yesterday we were informed that during his visit to the UK for the G7 summit next week, former Vice President Joe Biden will be entertained by The Queen at Windsor Castle. Both the British and American parties are already preparing for the event… In Washington Jen Psaki fits the handsy, gaff prone Mr Biden for […]
Here is my take on the MSM blaming Trump for their failure to follow up the Wuhan lab story.
