VIRGIN ATLANTIC OR LUNACY EXPRESS?

“This policy allows everyone to have a seat at the table,” Nye said. “It’s not taking away from anyone, it’s just allowing everyone from the community to just have a voice.”

Really? This policy is unhinged. It has been concocted by a conceptually adrift management who wish to ingratiate themselves with those peddling bizarre, unproductive and atrociously woke anti-social behavior. It insults and discomforts the many for the highly dubious comfort of the very few. What’s next, in-flight drag-queen shows for seven-year old's, videos about the joys of anal sex or how golden showers can improve one’s skin tone?!! 

Doubtless the management of Virgin Airways, if one can call it that, would like to impose the same policy on the British army and see how enthusiastically it would be adopted by the Coldstream Guards, the Black Watch, the Ghurkas or the SAS. Indeed, had this policy been in existence during WWII the British people would now be speaking German. Men prancing about in women’s clothing in public and badgering the rest of us to accept the unacceptable would be in a concentration camp. 

Now, there’s a lot to be said for free sexual expression but most of it should be confined to one’s own home. There is, of course, a lot more to be said for decent norms of behavior in public, something Richard Branson would be better off encouraging instead of foisting the suspect sartorial preferences of a noisy minority on his hapless passengers. Besides, Halloween is in October.

60 LABOR MEMBERS AT LABOR PARTY EVENT SLAMMING KING CHARLES AS A 'WHITE PRIVILEGED MALE'

On the whole I have to agree with Thomas Paine who observed that a hereditary head of state is as absurd a proposition as a hereditary physician or a hereditary astronomer. Yet, it seems to have served the British people well enough particularly since the monarchy became a constitutional one.

The carping about male white privilege from 60 members of the Labor Party and one Labor M.P. harks back to the birth of the Labor Party during the early 1900s and its justified opposition to Britain’s rigid class system and the exploitation of the “working class” by industrialists.

Once he crossed the floor of the House, Churchill discovered the working poor. He said he failed to see the dignity in an empire that could rule the waves but couldn’t flush its sewers. 

It was a clear and painful recollection of these doleful circumstances on the part of most of the electorate that would lead to Churchill’s spectacular defeat in 1945 after his dedicated, strenuous and Homeric exertions during 6 years of world war.

Those appalling social circumstances no longer exist and are not what concern the 60 republican members of the Labor Party. 

At one time the Labor Party were seen as the champions of the underdog and were able to exploit the stark differences between the “haves” and the “have-nots”. 

Now, and perhaps ironically due to some of its efforts, it is left with the much-reduced distinction between the “haves” and the “have-less”. All standards have been dramatically raised. Nobody dies of starvation or lack of proper health care in Britain anymore. Primary education is paid for by the state. 

Under this reality it is much more difficult to indulge in class warfare in order to achieve success at the polls so the only thing left is classic Marxism. It has to convince the ”have-less” to see themselves as the “oppressed” and the Labor Party as their saviors. It will save everyone from all privilege, white privilege in particular, and a male heterosexual patriarchy. 

The Labor Oarty has more solutions than there are problems. Dull gray government conformity with the concomitant lowering of standards in order to produce equal results is the suffocating goal. It destroys merit, is critical of achievement and despises excellence. Sound familiar?! America’s insanity has sprinted across the Atlantic.

In one of his talks George Will said, “Envy stokes anger. We are apt to be happiest when we are least envious because envy is the only one of the 7 deadly sins that does not give even momentary pleasure. I invite you to go down the list.”

In the meantime, the one Labour M.P. and his 60 fellow travelers would be far better off if they concentrated on completely ridding themselves of the atrocious Corbynite Jew-hatred that they allowed to stain, corrode and corrupt their party instead of wasting time wringing their hands about the efficacy of their ancient monarchy.

THE HUBRIS OF GEORGE SOROS

 https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-i-support-reform-prosecutors-law-enforces-jail-prison-crime-rate-justice-police-funding-11659277441

The article by George Soros is as inaccurate as it is self-congratulatory. The only thing missing apart from any caring reference to the victims of the crime wave he has financed is the implied belief that we should be grateful to him for his incessant, tinkering, blood-drenched, philanthropy and his ubiquitous subversion of law & order in America. He thinks he deserves a "Thank You" card.

Mr. Soros has never allowed his spirit to roam beyond his own self-interest, just ask the Bank of England. He lives safely sheltered and heavily protected from the ravages and destruction of the policies he constantly seeks to impose on others. A good deal of hypocrisy is required to turn his suppurating, self-justifying, hand-washing article into a plausible argument for criminal justice reform but hypocrisy is something Mr. Soros has in abundance. 

"Americans need a more thoughtful discussion about our response to crime", he tells us. Very well then, here it is: 

We want it stopped. We want more police officers better paid, better equipped and well-trained with stronger immunity from criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits. We want vicious thugs, with criminal records so long they wouldn't fit onto the side of a bus, kept in jail until trial. We want the 45,000 gang members in L.A. County, count them, off the streets and if it takes the temporary suspension of the Posse Comitatus Act to do it we don't mind. We want the politicians and officials who have allowed this plague on our streets prosecuted and sent to the same prisons as the gang members. We want violent underage criminals tried as adults. We want drug dealers, not drug users, executed. It works well in Singapore.

Mr. Soros intones that, "We need to acknowledged that black people in the U.S. are five times likely to be sent to jail as white people." That would be unjust if they were committing the same crime but it implies that the police are out deliberately hunting down black people, trumping up charges and sending them off to jail because of their color. It's preposterous. 

How does he explain that 7,000 of our black citizens are murdered by other black citizens every year? How does he explain the 75% illegitimacy rate in the black community or its 300,000 abortions per year? COVID can't be blamed for everything. It's a national tragedy but decriminalizing crime and endangering public safety is not the solution to any of it.

Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 opposed, by the way, by Democratic senators Al Gore Sr., and Robert Byrd who filibustered the legislation for 14 hours and was once an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, we have spent over $4 trillion in good faith to create a level playing field and the numbers listed above are the disturbingly sad result.

" In recent years, reform minded prosecutors and other law-enforcement officials around the country have been coalescing around an agenda that promises to be more effective and just", Mr. Soros is pleased to announce. Yet, for all their coalescing Los Angeles, NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia, just to name a few, have become cesspools of crime and extreme violence. These are the very cities where Mr. Soros' bought and paid for "reform- minded prosecutors" rule. Reform and willful public endangerment are not the same thing.

Mr. Soros ends his apologia by saying, "Judging by the results, the public likes what it's hearing" but not in San Francisco where the Soros lackey, D.A. Chesa Boudin was recently recalled. If he really believes people like what they are hearing then Mr. Soros must also believe that there is such a thing as a chaste prostitute either that or he has been using his time during the last 18 months as an opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

SCOTTISH WOKERY

The dismal article below describes just how much preening political correctness has not only deposed the intellect of the Scots, or at least the members of Glasgow's City Council, but has also distorted their view of history.

As someone who was educated in the tradition of the Scottish Renaissance, still alive and well in the 1950s and 60s, I consider this an unwelcome development much to be deprecated. It casts aside historical context and replaces it with supercharged virtue signaling peddled by emotional hemophiliacs with a disgusting racist and fascist agenda.

In the 112 years prior to Winston Churchill's state funeral in February of 1965 there had only been two state funerals accorded to non-royal personages. One was to the Duke of Wellington in 1852 and the other was to William Ewart Gladstone in 1898.

The Iron Duke, along with Field Marshall Blucher, won the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 forever destroying Napoleon's continental ambitions and permanently removing his threat of invading the British island something to which every subject of the Crown took violent exception.

William Ewart Gladstone was an historic force in British politics for over 60 years. He served as Prime Minister four times and as Chancellor of the Exchequer four times, the two great offices of state. He championed equality of opportunity and free trade. A 19th. Century liberal of thoroughbred Scottish ancestry he left an indelible mark upon Britain from Land's End to John O'Groats.

These are just two of the most famous public servants in the nation's history whose statues the Glasgow City Council are now thinking of removing from one of the oldest public squares in their storied city in order to appease racist anarchic thugs who wish to honor George Floyd, a vicious criminal with a rap sheet so long it wouldn't fit on to the side of a bus. Exploring the geography of their minds it becomes clear how a commitment to woke identity politics dulls their sense of contradiction. Thus do they progress.....well, not exactly.

A PRINCELY PUTZ

This entire tawdry episode described in the link below is unseemly to say the least because the donations totaling 3 million Euros were made in cash.

It casts the suspicion that the money was ill-gotten by the donor, Sheik HBJ, a former prime minister of Qatar a double-dealing ally of the west that harbors international Islamic terrorist leaders and operatives.

Fortunately, there is not the slightest question that Prince Charles, one of the richest men in the world, was trying to enrich himself and all the money was recorded and deposited in the PWCF account.

I must agree with Sir Alistair Graham’s judgement on the matter as expressed in the article.

The optics are dreadful and lead to questions about the judgment of the heir to throne.

This will not be the first time such questions have been asked.

During the 1970s Prince Charles became involved with the now publicly disgraced Jimmy Savile, a highly popular, cocky, prancing, self-promoting disc-jockey and entertainer, who was involved in raising money for some charity which the prince supported.

As the years unfolded this relationship grew and strengthened to the point where, against all prudence let alone reason, Savile became an unofficial counselor to Prince Charles during his divorce and he often asked Savile’s advice about how to make the monarchy more popular with the British people. Savile dined at St.James’s Palace and the prince was a guest at Savile’s home in Scotland. All of this boosted Savile’s ego to a degree that is unimaginable and sickening.

When Savile died in October 2011 Prince Charles gave him a laudatory eulogy. Then the bomb dropped.

Within a year allegations of pedophilia against Savile going back 50 years started to surface and a full blown government inquiry was underway. The result was that Savile was stripped of his knighthood, honors, awards and condemned to ignominy of the sort from which there is no redemption.

Prince Charles was left with egg not so much on his face but covered in a mountain of it from head to toe. He had lots of distinguished company.

With the 3 million Euro cash donation to the PWCF, Prince Charles stands singularly alone.

Anxious to fund the worthy efforts of his prominent charity he has allowed himself to be embarrassed by an Arabian ingrate with real connections to Islamic terrorists who would just as soon place minarets on Buckingham Palace and stick the prince’s head on a pike outside its gates.

I don’t know what most people would call Prince Charles for accepting such a large donation in cash, but the word “putz” comes somewhat readily to mind.

For God's sake, God Save The Queen!
