That's Not What 'Random' Means

Friends, I thought the day would never come but here it is - I finally feel some sympathy for civil servants. 

Sometimes even I have to admit that their job can be impossible. Take the report that's finally come out re: the guy who went on a knife rampage. 

You remember.... the guy who went on a knife rampage in the Midlands.

No, not that, the one in Birmingham. 

Anyway, they've done a report into this case and the answer is....

Can you guess?
McLeod was known to be a violent offender and Ms Hunt said agencies had failed to communicate effectively and had not prepared properly for his release from prison.
Yep, MOAR MEETINGS!

Of course, preparation is kind of difficult when you can't acknowledge what you're preparing for. 

The BBC shows us two of the victims but not the other five - they're Victims Of No Appearance apparently. Say, I wonder if they have anything in common with the two guys shown? 

Nope, it's was all 'random' apparently - which is the line they were taking long before they even started on the report. 

Hence my feelings of sympathy. It must be hard to do a threat assessment for Fantastic Mr Fox when you're not allowed to use the words 'chickens' or 'hen house'.

Courage Under No Fire Whatsoever

Good news everyone! We've finally found a way to stop leftists hijacking the (formerly) Beautiful Game to push their stupid talking points: 
Senior executives reportedly fear doing so could be 'divisive' and don't want to be seen to be taking sides in the Middle East conflict.
Yep, 'divisive'. Some say cutting the heads off babies is wrong, some say it's a good thing and, honestly, both sides make good arguments. 

Note that they had no problem previously pandering to the feminazis and the gaystapo. 

Never mind asking whether or not there's anything divisive about their individually loony agendas, the FA should see what happens when they get them both together to talk about the whole Transformers thing. 

I may be going out on a limb here but I'm pretty sure the whole scenario where Stevo is playing for a National League side, then changes his name to Chantelle and walks into a Woman's Super League team - let's just say that this may not be entirely controversy free. 

Then consider the flip side of all this. Sports journalists have spent years telling just how plain heroic people like Raheem Sterling are for complaining constantly about racism. We've been assured that multi-millionaire celebrities with huge endorsement deals are courageous for denouncing supposed white supremacy.

Anyone who asks what exactly prats like Sterling are risking is clearly racist. Ditto, anyone pointing out that the MSM's ranting about the supposedly bigoted nature of football fans looks mightily like class hatred hidden behind PC posturing. But now we've got an issue that takes actual courage to speak out about and suddenly..... 

Nope, Sterling hasn't gone missing this fast since the last time he played in the Champions League.

Dixon Shrugged

Say, did I miss anything? 

Last time I checked Sunak was an empty suit and Starmer was a slippery weasel sooo....guess not. 

In fact, so useless are our political class that even people on the Government's payroll are  checking out. 


Reminder: 90% of the left's stupid ideas rely on them convincing their intended victims to allow themselves to be preyed on. Once actual sane people tell them to shove it, it all goes horribly wrong. 

It's a true mask off moment though. Apparently the ones who handed back their 'ticket' have been threatened with being deployed on Response teams i.e. patrolling around responding to emergency calls. 

In other words, policing.

That's it. That's how senior police officers think about actual policing: Siberia with junkies. 

And then there's the charming 'community':
The fatal shooting, which sparked mass protests from the black community including from British rapper Stormzy, led to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launching a murder investigation. 
Say, I wonder when someone in the MSM is going to ask Stormzy and his pals about the Nottingham Horror? 

Personally, I'm going with  'never' - unlike Mr Plod MSM journalists only shoot blanks these days. They'll probably hit Stormzy with a tough curve-ball like 'is it hard to be so awesome and yet so wonderful at the same time'? 

Ditto, legal leftists. If you threw a bucket of water over them at 4 AM they'd jerk awake sermonising about muh sacred legal process. Now it turns out that 'Independent Prosecutors' are only independent right up until Burn Loot Murder start doing what they do best, but the right is required to pretend not to notice there's a large elephant in the room and it's sitting right on top of the CPS. 

Hence why the Usual Suspects are outrageously outraged at Suella Braverman coming out in support of the police. Just like Stormzy and his pals, leftists want to be free to attack the right, but they're outraged that anyone fights back.

Rainbow Utopia Postponed Again!

Weird! Despite the absence of any white men in leading roles, liberals still don't seem entirely happy with the outcome of the Mason Greenwood case. 

What can it all mean? 

Personally, my feelings on this are the same as my feelings about the Noel Clarke allegations: in so far as the charges involve specific incidents in actual places with a known victim, they're approximately 10 bazillion times more credible than the average charge of raaaaaycism by his pals in the game. 

Still, on sauce for the goose grounds, I think it's fair to ask who stoked this fire? 

Hey, if disagreeing with a bunch of race-hustling lunatics makes you responsible for some loser tweeting naughty words, then I think it's fair to ask if the unhinged racist lunacy being pushed by St Raheem and his pals might in some way provoke violence against white people?

Hey, I'm just asking! 

Which is more than anyone in the MSM is. Nope, the one time sports journalists really do have an excuse to look at wider issues, they've suddenly gone MIA. I guess they're all tied up heroically pointing out that foreign lands are foreign. 

Truly, these guys are fearless seekers after truth. 

On the plus side though, liberals have finally found a white guy to blame after all and, friends, It is just too perfect!

Yes, indeed, woke warrior extraordinaire Gary Neville has fallen foul of the loonies by.... liking a tweet by a former prosecutor pointing out how the law works. 

Hey, again, sauce for the goose. The sanctimonious twerp was happy to play witchfinder general when it suited him, now it's all gone a bit J K Rowling for him. 

Still, it is revealing. We were all supposed to admire his heroism in attacking the right. In fact, we were supposed to be so impressed by it all we weren't meant to ask what was actually courageous about it? What exactly was the risk in a media luvvie attacking conservatives anyway?  Now suddenly the alleged tough guy and professional Northerner clashes with the left and he folds like a row of tents. That tells you who has the real power in modern Britain.

Get Woke, Go Home

Just checking: are the England football team still the flagship of Woke Britannia or nay? 

Nope, I guess it's a modern Cinderella story: the Woke Warriors went to the (foot)ball, but just on the stroke of the final whistle, they suddenly turned back into mice. 

Honestly, it's intriguing to watch the NPC update in progress. When they were winning, it proved wokeness was the way of the future and you needed to get with the Nu Brit program, pal! Now? Suddenly there are no wider conclusions whatsoever to be drawn from it all. 

For the record, reaching the quarter finals isn't all that. England managed it under the famously disastrous - so the MSM said - reign of Sven Goran Ericksson. Twice. 

Say, how come the quarter finals are a disaster when it's the foreign guy in charge but success when it's a Brit. Sounds kind of..... xenophobic. 

But no, we all know why Slippery Southgate is off the hook. He's the Neil Ferguson of football. His  politics are impeccable even if reality keeps letting him down. 

As Paul Joseph Watson said, they started on their knees and they went out on their knees. 

They supported Totally Not BLM, just happening to give exactly the same salute as BLM members and using the same rhetoric but different...somehow. 

Don't expect the MSM to ask them what it is they do support, if not BLM, though. They've spent years not asking 'caring' Marcus Rashford about his rumoured exotic tax affairs so they aren't about to ask anyone any difficult questions about what, say, 'inclusion' actually means anyway. 

Hey, if it wasn't for an ill-judged attempt at the sympathy vote following a burglary, they'd never have told us that Brother Raheem is Keeping It Real from inside a mansion in a gated community in Surrey.

That's the thing right there. Brother Raheem ranting about sticking it to The Man, while his butler feeds him quail eggs on a silver platter isn't even in the top half of bad things these guys get up to. Modern football is a gold-plated sewer, and a smarter, more vigorous Tory Party - in short, one that actually considered 'electability' as something more than just an excuse to avoid any actual conservatism - would be making sure people remember that the left chose to embrace these guys.  But no, apparently, expecting actual drive from the Tory Party is like expecting a guy on a six figure salary to be able to hit the goal from twelve yards.

They Want Us Silenced, We Want Them To Speak Up

Say, did I miss anything while I was tied up?

Nothing good, that's for sure.

On the plus side, Becky from HR failed to become Tory leader for the second time so I can reuse my old joke about her self-identifying as PM. 

Also, we've finally found an immigrant from Africa who really is doing a job the locals just wouldn't do, namely cleaning up Twitter. 

Obviously Elon Musk buying Twitter is a good thing but it is kind of depressing that in just over a week he's fired more blue-haired loonies than the Tories have managed in twelve years. 

The cucks claim the Tory Party has to keep selling out its base to have any hope of winning elections. Meanwhile, liberals are panicking that they'll now no longer have thousands of commissars on Twitter censoring conservative thought. So apparently soi dissant conservatives claim they can't sell actual conservativism but liberals think they'll be swept aside once they have to face conservatives on a level playing field. 

They can't both be right!

Personally, I think that - for possibly the first time ever - the liberals are right. Consider one of the Twitter accounts that enrages them above all others:  Libs of TikTok. It's just what it sounds like, an account that showcases stuff liberals have posted on TikTok. You may think they'd be happy to have their stuff passed on to a wider audience....

Reader, they are not. 

Libs of TikTok was subject to all manner of harassment from the old regime at Twitter - plus a whole bunch of real world trouble too. The same people who claim conservatives are creepy fringe weirdoes really don't like the public finding out what they really believe. 

That's the difference right there. Liberals want us no-platformed, we want them pro-platformed. We positively insist they speak out. If it was up to me I'd have them on TV 24/7 - the only caveat would be that they have to make their case on their own, with no sympathetic interviewer there to lob them softballs and keep them on the rails. Who wouldn't watch 'Riding With Raheem' - Raheem Sterling is driven round the country in a solid gold Rolls Royce meeting fellow race hustlers and accusing random farmers, postmen and plumbers of oppressing him with their white privilege?

Rainbow Utopia Postponed Again

Good news everyone! We've finally got the left to understand that not all claims of discrimination are valid:
In short, this survey was likely completed by individuals already conscious of and concerned with prejudice and discrimination against [REDACTED I] in America. This does not invalidate the report, but it does suggest that its results may not be a good representation of [REDACTED II] experiences and views.
And what is REDACTED I and REDACTED II you ask? Well, that's the thing....

REDACTED I is Dalits i.e. low caste Hindus and REDACTED II is Indian Americans. 

Call me cynical but I'm guessing if the Dalits were complaining about heritage Americans suddenly we'd be expected to swallow these atrocity stories whole. 

It's just like how everything is raciss except for grooming gangs which are just random collections of people with nothing in common whatsoever. 

In fact, it's worse than that. These kind of surveys are exactly the kind of thing the spoilt daughters of Brahmin caste immigrants cite as proof that the West sucks. Not only are they taken as proof positive of discrimination in those cases, we're definitely not allowed to ask if their upbringing as members of a supposed elite might have possibly, just maybe, given them absurd expectations of deference from all and sundry.

It's Their Country, We're Just Living In It

Ah show biz... sometimes it's stupid and toxic, other times it's just the opposite: toxic and stupid. 

Still, as long as politics are downstream of culture we need to pay attention to it all. After all, you can't have kids growing up immersed in leftist garbage and then expect them to go straight to voting conservative once they turn eighteen. 

Then there's the other thing - how liberal behave in show biz reveals how they would behave everywhere else if they had that same level of domination. 

All of which is why we have to talk about the whole Doctor Woke fiasco. 

Reminder: if the BBC just wanted to have a black lead in Doctor Who they could have bought back Jo Martin. Her Doctor had some real gravitas, some actual depth - which is more than we ever had with Jodie Whitaker's portrayal of the Doctor as some kind of Galactic children's TV presenter. 

But no: instead they went with this guy, no doubt based on his previous work in... [checks notes] Netflix's 'Sex Education'. 

In case you haven't seen that show, to name it is to know it for the desperate exercise in try-hard edginess that it is. What it isn't is anything close to the sci-fi/fantasy genre. 

True, he is - allegedly - an actor so maybe he has the necessary range but given that he's taken over an iconic character and all he can talk about is muh representation I'm not hopeful. 

Yeah, yeah, I can see you've given some deep thought to what you can bring to the role. 

In so far as he seems to think that casting a black actor in a sci-fi/fantasy series is some kind of ground-breaking moment in pop culture history he doesn't seem to know much of anything about the genre he's supposed to be working in anyway. 

Basically, he's Jodie Whitaker Mark II, with race husting in place of girrrrl powah nonsense. 

The bottom line is that this guy hasn't been cast because he can bring anything to the sci-fi/fantasy genre, he's been cast because he can't. The BBC has always been deeply embarrassed by the Doctor Who fanbase - they'd really much rather pander to the kind of groovy teachers and disco vicars who watch 'Sex Education' hence this latest attempt to turn 'Doctor Who' into 'Sex Education in Space'. 

Yeah, yeah: you can make your own jokes, but the thing is that a lot of the 'Doctor Who' audience is geeky, kind of loser-y and just a bit weird and that's the point. The show managed to score lucrative overseas sales and merchandising deals while still being a a show for the people left on the kerb by the rest of our culture. It's for all the kids for whom travelling to another planet is only as unlikely as getting an invite to a cool party. 'Doctor Who' gave them a sense of belonging and hopefulness even when nothing else could and now the BBC - our public service broadcaster remember - is taking it away from them just out of spite. 

To the point: at any one time there are approximately eighty-six shows catering to the same North London wannabe cool wine aunt demographic as 'Sex Education' but it turns out eighty-six shows at once just aren't enough. No, Gaia forbid that one show should cater to the nerds. Literally everything on TV must be made for people in Islington. This is not representation, it's the exact opposite, a load of arrogant Metropolitan elitists are outraged that there is one - one - show on TV that doesn't pander to them. 

Everything must be about them at all times.  

This is who they are. They think they should get their way always even when they, say, lose a  referendum. Doesn't matter! Leave voters are losers so their votes shouldn't count anyway. 

Ditto, it's why Sir Kneealot went big on Partygate even while out in the real world household budgets were being crunched. Paying bills is boring and provincial, bogus thespian outrage is where it's at!

The British left has become what it once opposed, an incestuous and insular elite living lives of absurd privilege and sneering at the rest of the country. 

And their shows are rubbish too.

Annnd It's Still Not About Slavery....

For possibly the first time ever, I actually think the race hustlers have a point. Bearing in mind that everyone knew he'd have to address the issue of slavery when touring the Caribbean, surely Prince William could have come up with something less pathetic than this? 
This is complicated, the issues themselves aren't complicated. All the repercussions if diplomatic relations and dealing with other countries and other organisations are extremely complicated.
Just kidding! 

That's actually leftist pin-up Gareth Southgate talking about the slavery that's happening RIGHT NOW in Qatar. 

No wonder they're talking about Southgate as a potential Labour MP - that response was truly Starmeresque. I can't wait to see what he thinks a woman is!

Apparently, Prince William is required to all but self-immolate to make up for slavery two hundred years ago, but champagne socialist Southgate can get away with generic blather like this safe in the knowledge that no one in the access media will ask him any difficult questions about his absurd position. 

Ditto - with swords, oak leaves and gold cluster - race hustlers like Raheem Sterling, Tyrone Mings and their pals. The MSM have spent years ignoring their sponsorship deals with extremely dodgy leisurewear companies and they're not going to start asking awkward questions now. 

On the plus side the good thing about having your clothes made in Chinese labour camps is that you don't have to worry that you'll get a badly produced shirt just because the slaves were slacking off on a Friday afternoon. 

Meanwhile, back in the real world, if the England team held a minute's silence for every slave killed building the World Cup stadiums, they'd be there for four and a half days. On the other hand, there's no evidence that any of the dead ever held a gun to pregnant woman's belly like St George of Floyd, so why should we bother commemorating such losers anyway? 

Besides, you know, it's complicated!

I Don't Think It's The 'Slavery' That's The Issue....

Nothing to see here, just the Church of England putting up a monument to a slaver...and you probably will guess why. 
What the Cathedral describes as 'a bold new artwork' is a twelve-foot-tall bright red effigy of the ruler of the African kingdom of Benin, Oba Ovonramwen, who was deposed by a British expedition in 1897. There is no doubt about the celebratory intention of this work: its artist, Victor Ehikhamenor, describes it as 'reawakening Oba Ovonramwen and every other person that was violated during that oppressive attack on the Benin Kingdom.'
Yep, sometimes it's so blatant even The Cucktator has to acknowledge it.

Wait until someone tells this Victor guy about the oppressive attack on the Confederacy. 

For now though, I note a complete lack of effigies of Jefferson Davies in Anglican Cathedrals.

'Far Right' Is Just Liberal For 'Bad'

The 'Far Right' are everywhere you guys!

A teenage Satanist who murdered two sisters in a frenzied knife attack as part of a 'diabolical' deal with a demon to win the lottery was referred to Prevent for far-right extremism - but discharged months later as no risk. 

The technical phrase for that is not 'right wing', it's 'crazy'!

But maybe there's some other evidence that this guy is a fan of the Fuhrer: 

Danyal Hussein, 19, brutally killed Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, in the early hours of June 6 last year..... 

MailOnline can also now disclose Hussein, who has Iraqi Kurdish heritage, had been referred to a de-radicalisation programme at the age of 15 by his school who feared he was 'vulnerable to grooming'.

Seriously? 

That's it?

Yep, that's the line they're taking: he was an Iraqi Kurd white supremacist.  

That's the only possible explanation for anyone from the Middle East being involved in violence: white people made him do it. But don't you go accusing these people of being anti-white lunatics....

'Shut Up' They Explained

I'm not saying that all the cash flowing into the Formerly Beautiful Game has given these guys megalomania, but the FA has just gone after Her Majesty's Government. 

Apparently, the FA is butt hurt that their customers aren't prepared to sit there like lemons while a bunch of multi-millionaire douchebags assail them for their white privilege, and so they want HMG to.... do something. 

It's the modern left everybody!  They've gone full 'Producers'. 

This is all further proof of the Great Realignment. Now it's the left that doesn't think the common rabble should be allowed to answer back to their betters. 

There's another obvious point here though: the FA claims the Government is taking the populist position, but also that the people booing are a tiny minority of nuts. 

Huh? 

How does that even work?

I'm guessing - much like a certain referendum I could mention - we're talking a lunatic fringe majority. 

Either that, or the FA means a 'tiny minority' of the people in North London. 

Hey, with a by-election coming up, I'm not sure reminding people that the left wanted to toss out the votes of 52% of the country is really the killer line they think it.  At this point, there's a good case for the FA to have to register its attack on the Government as a campaign contribution to the Tories. 

Here's the thing though. Too many people on the right are getting drawn into talking about the specifics of what BLM support and the wider history of Marxism. It's more simple than that. 

We've been told for years that 'if someone thinks something is racist, then it is'.

Hey, it's a stupid rule, but it's the left's rule. It's what they've proclaimed right up until two minutes ago. Now we're talking about anti-white racism, suddenly they claim it's only racist if the Central Committee on Racism sign off on it. 

Apparently, it's meant to be significant that the people who want to make a racist gesture at a football match have denied that the gesture in question is racist. 

Yep, they've really gone with the old 'I'm not racist but...'.

Say, I wonder if  'some of their best friends are white'?

That's the point the right needs to be hammering home. The left has reversed pretty much everything they said for the last twenty years, just to attack the white working class, and yet no one's calling them out on this

Live By The Victimhood...

Like many people, I've been on the edge of my seat watching the latest revelations about Noel Clarke.  

Honestly, I can't wait to see how a black guy accused of sexually harassing women turns out to be the fault of white men. It's the most compelling thing he's ever produced! 

Although, now I think about it, I did like that one where a hot white girl instantly jumps into bed with his character.

No, wait... that's everything he's ever done. 

I mean, I'm not saying it's a red flag or anything, but the fact this guy can't write a birthday card without including a sex scene between his character and a white chick does suggest a certain worldview. Even Woody Allen was more subtle and - how can I put this politely - this guy's no Woody Allen. 

Also, Woody Allen characters can go more than two minutes without referencing the Holocaust or encountering anti-Semites from central casting. Meanwhile, this guy's become a multi-millionaire celebrity through whining about how a brother can't get a break in the United KKKingdom. 

Oh yeah, and he was due to be given a lifetime achievement award - at age 45. 

Of course. 

Hey, you know who really can't get a break in the UK? Anyone who wants to practice actual journalism! Hence why we can't get a single interviewer in the whole country who will ask this guy what *would* count as getting a break? What would he have done if he wasn't held back by racism? Become a billionaire and been appointed King? 

Someone needs to ask him that. Until then, I'll just enjoy the show. 

Hey, normally I'm sceptical about the whole Me-Too stuff, but in so far as he's been accused of actual, specific acts in specific places with actual victims, these claims are approximately 1 bazillion times better sourced than his constant claims of super-secret raciss conspiracies designed to prevent the Greatest Filmmaker Evah from ascending to his rightful place in history, so you know, sauce for the goose....

Oil/Water, Left/Right, Liberals/Self-Awareness

The left is super sulky about GB News, accusing it of stoking bigotry and prejudice. True, GB News hasn't actually made any programs yet, but leftists just know what those people are like. 

Nope, the left much prefers the BBC, which works hard to build social cohesion and racial unity... by covering racial atrocity stories from over a quarter of a century ago. 

As you do. 

(Say, does anyone know who was PM when this groundbreaking initiative to tackle racism happened anyway? The Guardian normally mentions this sort of thing). 

Still, you have to admire the flexibility of the Guardian: it recounts lurid stories of racial harassment from back in the day then seamlessly pivots to pointing out that the lack of this harassment now just means white people are still totes raciss but in a different way. 

Think of it as the Full Metal Jacket rule:
Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC! 
And yet the Guardian claims to be shocked - shocked - that white police officers make sure to get all their ducks in a row before dealing with black subordinates. Really?

Why might that be Guardian?

More to the point though, what is the Guardian really complaining about? Black officers are bought up on disciplinary charges then cleared. And? Doesn't that mean 'the system works'? Isn't that what the left always tells us when people on the right are targeted by deranged PC witchhunts? They might have had their reputation ruined, have run up six figures legal bills and spent the better part of two years with their lives on hold but, hey - they were cleared in minutes just as soon as the jury got involved, so stop whining you wimps!

Make a note of the date the Guardian published this piece. It's the closest we'll ever get to them admitting that the right was right and yes, indeed, the process is the punishment....

They're Not Elite, They're Just Privileged

Good round up here of the left's track record on the vaccine program. Executive Summary: they weren't just wrong, they were the wrongest people ever. 

Personally, I'm as shocked as anyone to find that our liberal elite turn out to a bunch of bone headed drones endlessly parroting moronic talking points. 

Still, even that's giving liberals too much credit. Lest we forget, the left's brains trust wasn't just 100% wrong about the UK's vaccine program, they actively tried to sabotage it:
In a particularly unhinged moment, for example, the Runnymede Trust race relations lobby group went to the High Court seeking to have [program head Kate Bingham's] appointment declared unlawful on the grounds that giving 'jobs for their mates' breached the Equality Act.
But, of course! The Deadliest Virus Evah might require national house arrest and Boris Burkas all round but God forbid anyone suggest that the race hustlers might want to park up the clown car for the duration. 

Plus how come no one wants to call them conspiracy nuts? That's literally what they are! They spread a conspiracy theory that the Government was handing over control of a vital program to some random crony when in reality she was clearly qualified. That's more obviously deranged than 90% of what the MSM calls conspiracy theories. How come no one wants to deplatform this group of leftists snoots...

OK, I guess I answered my own question! 

Being able to share unhinged racist conspiracy theories without consequences is the real privilege!

The Guardian Doesn't Do Self-Awareness....

Well, that goes without saying, but this one is just special. 

(And not just because an academic at the LSE is calling other people privileged).

Yes, in a society that celebrates victimhood there's always a temptation to spin a grim oop North back story. But there's more to it than that:
Our findings indicate that such misidentifications are built on particular origin stories that people reach for when asked about their backgrounds. These accounts tend to downplay people’s own, fairly privileged upbringings and instead reach back into working-class extended family histories that incorporate grandparents and even great-grandparents. Here people find stories of the past – of working-class struggle, of upward social mobility, of meritocratic striving – that provide powerful frames for understanding their own experiences and identity.
Seriously? Was there no one in the office who suddenly found themselves thinking 'hmmmm...that sounds familiar'

Say, I wonder if there have been any other examples of people using supposed atrocity stories from the past to downplay their privilege and justify bad behavior? 
In our report, we argue that these intergenerational understandings of class origin should be read as having a performative dimension; they deflect attention away from the structural privileges these individuals enjoy, both in their own eyes but also among those they communicate their origin stories to in everyday life. At the same time, by framing their lives as an upward struggle against the odds, these interviewees misrepresent their subsequent life outcomes as more worthy, more deserving and more meritorious.
Oh really? People living absurdly privileged lives inventing bogus oppression to justify them acting like pigs? 

No, doesn't ring any bells at all. 

Like I said over at Julie's place re: Sharon the Starving Sumo Wrestler, this is the result of the left allowing thuggish enforcers to impose a cultish group think. There's no one left around to point out that half the Guardian's output is from race-hustling bums using exactly this kind of argumentation to explain why they earn six figures but they're the real victims and so it's oppressive to expect them to pay parking tickets.

Meanwhile, whatever the downside of pushing supposed meritocracy, it can't be nearly as damaging as having filthy rich celebs leaving their huge mansions just long enough to claim the system's rigged and there's no point even trying.

The Empire Has Always Been At War With Eastasia

Good news everyone! It's now legal to say that John Boyega's character in Disney Star Wars was a waste of space.

I wonder what's changed? 

Oh yeah: this

Stunning and brave, you guys! 

Needless to say, some of us pointed his character was worthless *at the time* - and do you know what we got called?

Free clue: it wasn't 'insightful movie critics'.

Lest we forget, Johnny Boy was happy to prop up the phony baloney 'black stormtrooper' nontroversy (it was really phony). He knew exactly why he was hired and he was happy to cash the cheques.

But that was then and this is now.

It takes a lot to make the Demon Mouse look like the good guys, but I think he's managed it! It's right there in his comments about writing black characters.

Huh?

What does that even mean? Was Lando Calrissian a black character? How about Mace Windu? Or were they actually just good characters? Not letting this loser hijack these movies with his racial obsessions may have been the only smart thing Disney actually did.

Just like the old American line about the guy who was born on third base but claims he hit a triple, this guy was given a multi-million dollar participation trophy but now we're all supposed to pretend he was cruelly robed of his shot at an Oscar.

They Hate You

Tucker Carlson's show on Fox is now generating the highest ratings in cable news history. I can see why: look at this bit where he takes on the left's flex towards identity politics

Yep, that's the really key thing about it all. The left hasn't just down-played actual inequality in favour of loopy conspiracy theories - talking about 'white privilege' instead of actual privilege. The left has now actively turned against the people it used to represent, using identity politics to provide a wafer-thin level of plausible deniability.

That's true in Britain too. There's a reason why of all the white football managers in all of the world, race-hustling bum Raheem Sterling chose to slime Stephen Gerrard. He knew what the MSM wanted and that's why they were happy to run with a smear that could have been debunked with a five second google search (BTW, isn't being able to spread provably false racial atrocity stories without suffering any consequences whatsoever also a form of privilege)?

It works the other way too, hence why Home Counties rich kid turned filthy rich tax exile Lewis Hamilton is now a leftist icon. He's sticking it to the man - specifically, the tax man, but as long as he comes out with the right amount of inflammatory drivel about the proles in the cheap seats liberals will hail his heroism.

That's true at a corporate level too. There's an almost perfect relationship between how woke a corporation is and how sleazy its corporate affairs are. Back to football again: the football authorities are super woke, meanwhile the folks building the stadiums for the next World Cup are treated as all but slaves (I bet Raheem is going to get right on that).

The modern left is all about using bogus claims of racial inequality to justify doing absolutely nothing about  actual economic and social  inequality.

Access Media: 'Hate Speech? Never Heard Of It!'

Personally, I think 'hate speech' is a ludicrous concept - and, yes, some speech can encourage crazy people to do crazy things, but the operative word here is crazy! Some people think God is speaking to them via the weather forecast, that's not an argument for censoring the Met Office.

Still, you know who disagrees with all that? Raheem Sterling for one. He's convinced that every time some fat slob in Row XX shouts racist abuse at him it's both a cause and an effect of a deeper evil in British society. 

Yes, indeed, Fatso T Nobrain might never have been elected Dog Catcher, but all he needs to do is scream abuse at a grossly overpaid prat on the pitch and suddenly he's King Of All The White Men.

As it happens though, we've just had three white people stabbed to death in Reading just hours after St Raheem's friends at Black Lives Matter held one of their rallies. Coincidence? 

Well, hey, like I say, I'm a free speech maximalist so I'll defend the right of even obnoxious tools to spread stupid, racist conspiracy theories, but how about a bit of sauce for that goose? Any chance anyone from the MSM will ask St Raheem how all this meshes with his constant sermonising about the dangers of hate speech? If some guy shouting abuse at an overpaid celeb can provoke racist violence, how about thugs pushing deranged racist conspiracies? How about the aforementioned celeb using his media profile to push the same theories? Does that have any effect?

At all?

Nope, the same media cucks who hailed St Raheem's heroism - heroism in the sense of denouncing fat losers - have suddenly decided that hate speech doesn't exist after all.

It's Not About Slavery....

Things I never thought I'd say: someone made a really good point on Twitter the other day.

It was about all the race-hustling celebs preaching about muh slavery. Right now, the closest thing we have in the world to industrial-scale, institutionalised slavery is what happens in Chinese labour camps...

You know... that country where huge numbers of western companies have outsourced their production to. 

You know... the companies that sign huge sponsorship and merchandising deals with prominent sportsmen and celebs, like Raheem Sterling, Lewis Hamilton and John Boyega... 

Never mind the 'legacy of slavery' - people are profiting from slavery, right now.

Hey, they're outrageously outraged against slavery? How about turning down the cash? Sterling is on £150K per week at Man City - I think he'll get by on his salary alone. Take a stand, Raheem!

And then there's all the alleged 'journalists' in the Access Media who never quite bring this up... maybe Chairman Xi has a camp we can outsource the MSM to?
