@bphillipsonMP I’d have more respect for you if your were a spiteful class warrior. You nothing more than a spiteful dimwitted sixth form virtue signaller.
Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.
@annaturley@bphillipsonMP Clever, decent brilliant. Not sure who you are describing??? It’s definitely not the ideological, spiteful and stupid @bphillipsonMP
@bphillipsonMP A someone whose wife is a teacher. You have categorically made things worse. Teachers are leaving in droves. You are hated within the teaching comms for ruining the opportunities of the children. I’m sure you wear that with pride also.
She isn't being lashed for singing without hijab. She is being lashed for singing.
It is illegal for women to sing in Iran.
Why? Because the sound of a woman's voice is considered "provocative" and therefore "corrupts society."
The whitewashing of this regime by western activists and podcasters is a true testimony to how morally distorted the western world has become.
You have to pinch yourself to realize that in their moral universe, these are the “good guys” who have only been “provoked by western imperialism.”
As I say almost daily: The UK is becoming like the regime in Iran.
They will outlaw VPNs and arrest people using them. They will exploit your Digital ID to know exactly who you, the VPN user, are.
1984 is nothing. This is worse.
The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil:
1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured.
2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking.
3. UK institutions—including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians—catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over child protection.
4. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali,
Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.
5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and
shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they’re “White trash” who deserved punishment.
People need to go to prison for this.
Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.
