By George and all the Saints, the Jerries are in the shit and the PIIGS are sitting pretty in the straw! Who'da thunk it? ... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/11/06/germany-will-lose-grip-eu-economy-gets-much-weaker/ The interesting point, however, is this. It [Germany] is starting to underperform the Mediterranean economies. Italy, helped by prime minister Mario Draghi’s reforms, and a ton of stimulus money, is doing a lot better.... Continue reading

It's D&N quiz time again! Let's get straight into it! Starter for one: Who said this? ... “…we should recognise that we are dealing with a coupled nonlinear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.” No? A rabid climate change denying fossil fuel company CEO? Me? Well yes, obviously in my case.... Continue reading

Well with those whopping great tax breaks the Don and Sleepy Joe gave ya, I'm sure some of it found its way to the kids and not beer and football? Where's the private childcare stats then? The poorest in America do as well as the rest of the world's richest, and as well as the richest countries of the world's poor ... Even if you're stuck in the bottom 5% of the US income distribution your standard of living is about equal to that of the top 5% of Indians. Even if you're in the bottom 10% your standard of living is about the same as that of the bottom 10% in other rich countries (which, so we are told, care so much more and do so much more) like Sweden and Finland. And when we sweep everything together into some sort of quality of life measure the American poor are better off than the French or German poor. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2013/06/01/astonishing-numbers-americas-poor-still-live-better-than-most-of-the-rest-of-humanity/?sh=318312754ef0 So I'm sure the lickle-wickle kiddy-winkies do alright stateside. I mean, if they didn't, how come they grow up to earn so much and do so well then? Quit ya whining already! SoD
But neither Labour nor the Tory wets ever really grasped why Thatcherism worked. Their attitude to the lady’s economic legacy was like that of savage tribesmen towards an artefact bequeathed by a higher civilization – respectful but uncomprehending. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/10/09/should-classical-liberals-abandon-hope-conservative-party/ God damn it. What a brilliant one liner that is. And, to be honest, that article is the most important to... Continue reading

330,000 x the prophet Muhammad. And that's just in France ... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/10/05/least-330000-children-suffered-sex-abuse-hands-french-catholic/ France's Catholic Church has covered up sexual abuse by clergymen and lay personnel against more than 330,000 children since 1950, according to an explosive investigation released on Tuesday.

In addition to the ruinous economics of leaving the SMFFASAR, we can travel back in time to see the political blunder of leaving the EU, kindly supplied by the glorious comedy of the 1970's ...

The Blue Socialist and Brexit pundits, wriggling and spinning to try and deflect the blame for their mess, turn to blaming each other ... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/29/brexit-hating-global-elite-watching-britains-chaos-glee/ The resounding criticism of their own Blue Socialism ...

Bob, Blade runner is a film about white man's culture. Have you ever wondered why a replicant would be called "Roy Batty?". I mean, it's not exactly the sort of exotic name sci-fi would normally associate with an advanced synthetic human, is it? Maybe Zed Zillon, C3PO, but "Roy Batty"? Roy Batty is a working class empire soldier. He has... Continue reading

You can take your pick from any of climate alarmism's propaganda organs currently trying to spin their way out of the catastrophe they have brought to the energy industries of the UK and EU, and knock their blame passing attempts down one by one.

Glezza was worried in the comments about it being difficult to bomb Islamists at home. Well, that may be true, but it's also just become a lot easier to bomb the Islamists abroad, because now we're working with them abroad ...

If ever the Realpolitik adage "Your enemy's enemy is your friend" needed a real world example it is the opportunity, yes opportunity, that now presents itself in central Asia.

I was routed today. Around 500BC, give or take. My Greek Hoplites vs the Persians. It didn't seem possible that anything other than total victory would be the outcome as my glittering phalanxes of bronze clad heroes marched onto the field of glory. I went for the central position. Screw the flanks, punch the centre of the Persian line, shoulder-to-shoulder,... Continue reading

A good read on the motivations of Ping-a-Ling and the Han crew in and around the borders of China - roves across the surface of all motivations, even tectonic plates! ... https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/what-china-wants The timeless Putin-esque formula: export Han peeps into states to gain majorities, think buffer zones, spheres of influence.

And now we see the end game. The pincer movements of woke, BLM, Antifa, and Greta and the Green Blob turn from their distracting flank manoeuvres to converge on the central position of the free world. It was never about winkies, fannies, skin or carbon, they were just a long, grinding, softening up bombardment and encirclement strategy, leading ultimately to... Continue reading
