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'. 

New Euphemism Just Dropped!

Hey, I hate the lycra lice as much as anyone but I don't think the mode of transport is the key issue here:

Police have named the 16-year-old boy who was killed in a stabbing on Wednesday 'by two cyclists wearing masks'.  

The victim has been named as Darrien Williams, though formal identification is yet to take place, according to Avon and Somerset Police.  

He was attacked in Rawnsley Park in Easton by two people wearing masks who left the scene on bikes, before running to Stapleton Road where he was assisted by a motorist.

On the plus side, at least it's a change from 'talented footballer' or 'aspiring rapper'. 

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. 

Sports Journalists Are The Journalists Of Journalism

All the unwarranted self-esteem but even lower IQs, you guys!

Even these guys know they suck, hence why they're desperate to report on anything except sportsball. No, they all want to report on how some barely literate loser in Nuneaton tweeting the N-word at St Raheem of Sterling exposes the dark side of conservatives, Brexit, Brexitey conservatives and, basically, anything liberals hate. 

Now they're all claiming to be shocked - shocked - that a Middle Eastern country applies Islamic law. 

Well, either that or they've belatedly discovered that Islamists are not just Guardian reading liberals except with more impressive beards. 

Who could have known? Well, no one, except the right but every time we tried to warn them they claimed we were a bunch of barely literate losers who just want to tweet the N-word at St Raheem.

Hey, MSM, who are the morons now, huh? 

These guys really are the living embodiment of the old line about people who stumble over the truth then pick themselves up and carry on regardless. Hey, it's either that or getting an actual 'job' and who needs that? 

I Don't Think A New Leader Will Fix This...

Start as you mean to go on you cucks!

The Tory Party's first leadership debate is tonight and so naturally they've decided to hold it on GB News...

No, just kidding, it's Channel 4. 

Of course it it. Why wouldn't you hold it on such a famously unbiased channel? 

Yep, this one. 

Just to ram the point home, the moderator is Krishnan Guru-Murphy, the sneery rich kid race hustler. 

And, seriously, if a born filthy rich, private school & Oxford educated Metro media lovey can't speak for the conservative base, who can? 

There's a serious point here. Why is the Tory Party giving credibility to a liberal cess pit like Channel 4 anyway? 

Nothing these people are involved in qualifies as 'journalism' by any reasonable definition. Expect ninety minutes of stupid gotchas, 'have you stopped beating your wife' and the loony obsessions of Metropolitan wokies. 

The point is the modern Tory Party is useless as an ally and harmless as an enemy. They won't do anything to help their base but they'll pander to a bunch of smug North London prats who will never vote for them in a million years. 

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!

It's A Big (Football) Club And You Ain't In It

Ah yes, the Football Association, where soccer is a mere backdrop to the real business of pandering to the chattering class.

First up, let's see how black stacks up against gay in FA Victimhood Poker: 

Middlesbrough defender Marc Bola has been warned and ordered to complete an education course over a homophobic social media post from when he was 14.

Bola, now 24, accepted a Football Association charge brought after the historic tweet, written in April 2012 when he was a child at the Arsenal Academy, came to light last year.

Yeah, take that you fiend! Zero tolerance for children making a single offensive tweet even if it was ten years ago!

I guess that means gay beats black this time around. 

Don't be shocked though but the rules are a little different for the really important people:

The complaint has been dealt with in the strictest confidentiality inside the FA, who are understood to have offered guidance and advice to John. 

The informal letter cites a number of instances where the employee believes John has over stepped the mark. 

John, in the complaint, is accused of shouting, being dismissive, giving unjust criticism, using aggressive tactics and malicious behaviour.

Yep, she's promoting diversity one Downfall video level freakout at a time. 

In a statement released to Sportsmail, John said: ‘At the heart of who I am, I’m an activist and am direct in my communication style.

Yep, just what football needs: an activist. 

Hey, is it worth asking if, say, the people in the Northern Wall get any activist representation or is that the wrong kind of activism?

As a senior Black woman joining the football-industry in the middle of a pandemic, I am honoured that The FA empowered me to try to be a change agent. 

‘A challenge of driving change is that sometimes, I have to be uncomfortably direct. I ask the questions that no-one wants to ask. I have difficult conversations about topics that people haven’t engaged on for centuries and doing that can mean pushing boundaries and people.

Yep. Centuries, my dudes, Centuries. 

Actual founding date of the FA: 1863. 

She clearly has a deep love and passion for our national sport. 

Also: maths is racisss!

‘I have and always will listen to feedback and continue to grow daily as a leader and I hope that the leeway and scope that we as society afford strong, opinionated and vocal Black women continues to grow with me.’

Hey, is it just me or are other people beginning to suspect that she may be both black and a women?

I keep picking up subtle hints.  

Still, if that's the way she wants to play it, what does she think about the time black footballers were caught hanging out with a racist loon?

Any comments, Ms Activist? 

Or how about the time one of Britain's top clubs tried to destroy a man's career with bogus accusations of racism? 

Is the FA now officially neutral on whether or not referees have the right to do their job without fear of retaliation? 

Big clubs pressuring match officials to give decisions their way seems like it could be even more important than naughty tweets. 

And then there's her other claim to victimhood. What does she think about the  situation at Aston Villa? One of their highest profile players slimed the most senior women in British politics using racially-tinged and certainly misogynistic language. 

Does Ms Activist really think women who say things men don't like are provoking trouble or should England footballers maybe try and sound less like the average wife-beater? 

Hey, I only mention it because  it turns out the same club has had a player convicted of a brutal, possibly racially aggravated, rape. 

As Oscar Wilde might say, to hire one misogynistic moron may be unfortunate, but to have two on the books looks like a cultural issue (and he was gay so his view counts double).

But, no, apparently, she's not always 'vocal'! Either that, or she has no strong opinions one way or the other about the whole 'rape' thing (and don't you dare ask her how she defines a woman). 

Then again, why would she not slither away from any difficult issues? When even the supposedly 'right-wing' Daily Mail won't carry any criticism of her without immediately undercutting it with her own self-glorifying twaddle, it's not like she has anything to fear from the palace eunuchs in the MSM. That's the real issue here. 

The fact she is an obnoxious race-hustling piece of crap is her problem, the fact that our demented society has allowed her to make a life and living from it is our problem. 

We Have The Elitism, Just Not The Elite

Things are looking pretty grim in the Ukraine but the good news is that the Russians have already lost 1,500,000 troops according to Neil Ferguson's modelling.

Yep, remember him? Back in the old days, when Covid was in all the papers until it suddenly wasn't. 

It must have been run over by a Russian tank. 

Also dead: misinformation. The usual suspects have spent the last two years insisting that only Very Special Certified Facts are allowed. Now suddenly the same folks are telling us that Boris Johnson is totally a Russian agent. 

Apparently, he's a Russian agent who was the first Western leader to send arms to Ukraine and took one of the most hawkish lines on sanctions so it looks like he's as good at being a Russian agent as Sir Kneelalot was at being Director of Public Prosecutions. 

As it happens, arms shipments from the UK started on Monday 17th Jan and Sir Kneelalot spent the next Prime Minister's Questions asking six questions about birthday cake, so you can tell the MSM is bang on about him being un homme serieux. 

Actually, it makes you feel more sympathetic to Professor Pantsonfire. His bad luck was that he was the one liberal who came out with some actual numbers so we can all see exactly how ludicrous his predictions were, meanwhile the rest of them spent years explaining that Trump was a loose cannon who needed to be replaced by savvy professionals like Joe Biden for the sake of global stability. 

And these are the people who call Leave voters uniformed idiots! 

I Have No Idea How This Keeps Happening

At this point, being featured as Victim Of The Week in a MSM documentary should be admissible in court as proof of guilt: 

A Mixed Martial Arts fighter who told a Channel 4 documentary he wanted to prove people who thought he would end up in prison wrong has been jailed for throttling his ex-girlfriend.

Demornia Cantrill, 24, featured in a true-life 2015 film about his upbringing in care and how he was desperate to be a success.

Hey, it could have been a gritty warts and all take on this guy.... but would you really bet on that?

If Nigel Farage's show had ever given a violent thug this kind of soft focus boosterism, liberals would now be demanding air strikes on GB News HQ. 

Instead it's Channel 4 and so now we're supposed to just 'move on', 'draw a line under it' and definitely - definitely - do not ask what it is about media liberals that they keep getting caught palling around with violent thugs.

That Time Grandma Taught The Kids How To Do Reporterising....

Can't say I've ever been a big fan of Bel Mooney. She's always seemed to specialise in vacuous Boomer platitudes... which makes it super surprising it was her who broke the MSM's omerta over Covid.

For when I registered Dad's death by telephone (as you have to these days), the registrar told me there had been very many other cases like ours where 'the deceased' had not tested positive for Covid, yet it was recorded as the cause of death.

They agreed that, yes, it must distort the national figures — 'and yet the strangest thing is that every winter we record countless deaths from flu, and this winter there have been none. Not one!'

Well, quite! 

And just like that the rats suddenly started to take an interest in the position and readiness of the lifeboats...

Apparently, the excuse for why the Covid Cult's measures can - apparently - defeat the flu but not the thing they're actually aimed at is because Covid is more contagious than influenza.... except they've spent months telling us that the only reason why Lockdown4Eva hasn't worked is heretics refusing to wear a Boris Burka or indulging in Satanic rituals - like meeting up with friends or sitting on park benches. 

Surely there must be some wildly-promiscuous slut out there who jumps from bench to bench,  doesn't wear protection and so has died from the flu?

No, not one! 

Literally not one. 

At this point even Third World election results are more reliable than these figures. At least the Supreme Leader of Krapholia has enough sense to only claim to have won 80% of the vote when it's time to vote on making him President For Life. 

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. 

This Is Perfectly Normal....

'Secret payments to public figures to push government policy'? 

You say that like it's a bad thing!

Government ministers paid £63,000 to 42 social media 'influencers' to promote the NHS Test and Trace service, it has been revealed.

The ad campaign, launched last year, saw celebrities including Love Island stars Shaughna Phillips and Josh Denzel share messages of support for the health service and its coronavirus testing system on platforms such as Instagram.

If the Government isn't up to something dodgy, it's sure in first place for the 'Best Impression of People Up To No Good' Award. 

Don't expect the MSM to object though - or if they do, it'll be just because they thought they had the monopoly on fanboying over authoritarian creeps.

And, yes, this guy is just one more of them telling us to barricade ourselves in the house to stop the vampires getting in, then going for a moonlight stroll. 

The MSM: Speaking Truth From Power (Part 2,457)

Lest we forget, long before the WuFlu made it obvious, British academia was already dominated by woke nonsense. The evidence is all over the place, but the undoubted winner of Best In Show is the rehab industry, a train wreck mash up of Marxism, New Age lunacy and the weirdo obsessions of a small group of privileged upper-middle class brats. 

How full of it are these people? Even they don't believe their own doctrines, at least to judge by cases like this. 

Two things virtually all criminologists agree on: escalation - meaning that over time this type of offender will commit more and more serious crimes - and, linked to this, that cruelty to animals often acts as as a gateway to committing the same type of crime on human victims. 

All of which is by way of saying that this is a potentially extremely dangerous individual and so, naturally, the police have done.... what? 

Don't ask the perfessional journaljismers! They've given it the memory hole treatment - no doubt influenced by the Protection of Sadistic Creeps Act (2019).

But wait... I just checked and there's no such act. No one ever voted for this. If it's true that the loony card is being used to let dangerous savages walk free then that's surely something the public has the right to know. 

Apparently, justice *doesn't* need to be seen to be done, after all, just as long as it involves muh mental 'elf.  

Local journalism is super important, you guys, but just not the type that involves reporting stuff. 

We should totally give these guys a bail out!

Hey, I might not be a Certified Member of the Order of Journalists, but I'm thinking that a bloodthirsty maniac walking the streets might actually make a better story than, say, painting gorillas (no, seriously). 

Who Could Have Seen This Coming?

I keep reminding people: 'freedom of the press' is short for 'freedom of the printing press'. It means anyone is free to publish whatever they want and they don't need some kind of 'printing licence'. 

In other words, despite what the MSM keeps implying, it's the exact opposite of the idea that there is some kind of elite group out there called the 'press' who have special rights not granted to other citizens. There's no legal basis for that belief, but the idea that they're some kind of journalistic jedis is at the heart of why so much modern reporting is awful. Too many of these guys identify more with the people they're supposed to be reporting on than they do with the public they hope will actually buy their lousy papers. 

On the plus side, at least there's some amusement to be found in the outraged reporting every time an MSM journalist is treated like one of the peasantry. 

Here's today's example.

To quote the mighty John McLane: welcome to the party, pal!

Hey, nothing personal - she is one of the least worst journos out there and it's great that the MSM has finally started to talk about this stuff, but Joe Citizen has had to put up with this kind of censorship for years and these guys were fine with that. 

Actually, they were more than fine. No end of ink was spilled on the vitally vital importance of 'clamping down on online extremism'. Now - amazingly - it turns out that 'extremism' turns out to mean 'anything the political establishment doesn't approve of'. Who could have seen that coming? 

Not our professional journaljismers, hence why most people are only now seeing stuff like this:

The Government have been pressurising social media companies to tackle 'false and misleading narratives' about Covid, and through its Rapid Response Unit claims to have 'resolved' 70 such incidents a week.

You know, I can't help thinking that .gov setting up a real life Ministry of Truth might be something worth reporting on even before it started to affect the elect? 

Just a hunch.

And it gets worse. Check out the reporting in the sidebar on the censorship of Lionel Shriver. Not only is she in no way a rhetorical bomb thrower or extremist, the point she was making was both true and useful: obesity increases the risk from the dreaded C-virus. Not only is that true, what if it wasn't? Is YouTube worried people will lose weight unnecessarily and be left with nothing more than a drastically reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes? 

As I was saying, it's not a conspiracy if it they're doing it openly. 

Did I Mention They Hate You?

Why, yes, yes I did. 

And just to ram the point home, here's Julie Burchill confirming that our watchdog media are even more incestuous, corrupt and insular than the political class. 

Apparently, it's super important to name and shame blue collar suspects even when they haven't, strictly speaking, done anything but naming the, actually convicted, pervert friends of La Cosa Media? Not so much. 

Reminder: even on LBC - which markets itself as the voice of the man on the Clapham Ominibus - you can still switch on when you wake up and make it through to lunchtime without hearing a single presenter who's not a public school educated second generation media luvvie. As for the likes of Times Radio and Radio 4....

We should totally give the media a bail out!

Of course, Julie B still can't identify the final piece in the puzzle.  I guess writing for a libertarian site means this whole topic is what artillerymen would call 'Danger Close'. When it comes to nonces, liberals and libertarians all agree that the real issue is the dreadfully unnuanced takes of the lower orders (and, also, they're super sophisticated for refusing to call absolute depravity what it is). 

Using air quotes round perfectly accurate words like evil or pedophile is treated as an actual argument by these hipster douchebags. Meanwhile, wanting predators caged is tacky and crude.... I guess it's  sort of like the super important difference between drinking pints and drinking drams of Old McMolester.

They're smart and you're stupid and that's all you need to know, peasant.

(via Julia)

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.

This Is Why Labour Can't Win Elections

If you had Theresa May in the 'Strange New Respect' sweepstake, collect your winnings: she's the latest Tory that the MSM has suddenly decided is a far-sighted visionary (now she's started attacking conservatives).

Personally, I'm pretty sure that pointing out that someone lacks the very special expertise of our foreign policy establishment may not be the killer point the usual suspects think it is. These are the people who turned Libya into a hell hole, tried to get us into Syria on the same side as ISIS and want to hand over our infrastructure to China. Basically, they're the Typhoid Mary of foreign policy. Not being in their little club sounds like a good thing to me.

Apparently, I'm not the only one, hence why BoJo got a huge majority - unlike certain people I could mention.

And all this is without considering the wider issues. Isn't the Labour Party's position pretty much the literal opposite of what their founders believed? Now the People's Party is claiming that, sure, you proles can go and vote for whoever you want, but the really important stuff needs to be left to our new aristocracy, like His Grace, Mark, Duke of Sedwill.

No one knows who these people are or how they got their jobs or even who they think they're accountable to. Apparently, paying a huge pile of cash plus a solid gold pension to civil servants, no matter how terrible they are at their job, is now a permanent feature of British life. Freedom of speech and equality under the law are disposable, but paying money to snoots is part of what makes us a civilised nation.

If the PM can't replace a useless civil servant, who can? Seriously, if we had any working journalists in this country they'd ask Starmer about this: just who can fire one of these guys? What would be a sacking offence?

Nope, Labour has supported all manner of PC witchunts against regular Joes, but the People's Party has  now thrown a ring of steel around the snoot class, yet somehow they keep losing elections. 

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?
