Brit. Father. Husband. Optimist. Big believer in the power of rational argument, technology, innovation. Open minded. Swearing / abuse will be blocked.
I see that the people who took the knee and tore down statues after a man was killed 4,000 miles away from Britain are now yelping 'Don't politicise Henry Nowak's death'. The same leftists who poured onto the streets to rage over the death of George Floyd are barking at the rest of us not to rage over the death of young Henry.
'Don't stir up tensions', says an activist class which in that heady summer of 2020 happily hurled missiles at British cops and danced like Taliban-lite loons on a monument to a slave trader they'd just toppled.
Fear of the masses is in the air. You can almost smell the establishment dread that the wrong sort of people are about to hit the streets – not graduate leftists in keffiyehs but gammon-hued blokes in white t-shirts.
The front page of Wednesday’s Independent is a classic of this fretful genre. ‘Family’s plea for calm ignored’, wails the headline over a photo of the protest in Southampton. But the people in the pic are perfectly calm. It’s just rows of mournful folk carrying the England flag. Are you okay, Independent?
The Guardian, too, seems consumed by foreboding. It says there are ‘fears’ that ‘the populist right’ will ‘whip up racist resentment’. Demagoguery is always the chief dread of the bourgeois left, given their view of the little people as a coiled spring of bovine fury that might be unsprung at any minute.
The Guardian blasts Farage for calling for ‘pure, cold rage’ in response to Nowak’s death. It’s a complaint that would carry more weight if the Guardian hadn’t published pieces in the wake of Floyd’s death saying ‘We need the rage that abolished slavery’.

I'm not sure who advised the Gran of Vickrum Digwa to do this interview but this isn't good at all.
They still have their son, The Novak family don't.
Disgraceful.https://t.co/NhC8CukCNA
Suella, it is undeniable that it has been Conservatives, me and @NJ_Timothy , who have led the fight against the Islamophobia definition (if you listen that is the point I make below). This is going to be as bad for policing as the Race Action Plan.
It is also undeniable that Kemi has led the charge against Critical Race Theory.
She was doing it back when it was hard and unpopular. You know that. Everybody knows it. Nigel is on the record praising her for it.
But now you are putting out ads suggesting she supported Black Lives Matter when she led the fight against that movement. It is a despicable lie, it’s beneath you, and you know it.
Penny Wong believes Aussie women raped by Israeli soldiers (because ‘I believe all women’), but zero outrage, zero call to sack ABC’s Grace Tame after she sneered that Hamas raping, torturing & mutilating Israeli women & girls on Oct 7 was ‘debunked propaganda’.
‘Believe women’… unless they’re Jewish?
Disgusting hypocrisy.
@Dplanet Are you for real? It’s two tier because: the officers were more bothered about a (false) accusation of racism than about the murder itself, and because of the races had been reversed they would have acted totally differently.
@HonestHalo Did we get the same energy from you during the BLM Floyd riots? All the same leftie cunts whining about these dickheads in Southampton are the same ones that queued up to be outraged about Floyd, take the knee and cheered on the BLM riots.
Yes, without Britain, there would be no steam engine, steam trains, telephones, parliamentarism, modern constitutionalism, English as the lingua france, penicillin, end of the slave trade, ATMs, logarithms, Shakespeare, the theory of evolution and so much more.
In 1000 years, once we have gotten over neurotic jealously and third worlidsm, people will look at Britain with more admiration than we look at Ancient Greece today. It is quite evidently the greatest nation the world has ever seen. It's not even particularly close.
@EhuKnowsBest@shelbystardust Yep that’s me. Gorgeous isn’t it? I can tell you fancy me. Sorry but I don’t shag anonymous losers over the internet “ehu”.
@susanketchen69@IndigoFast You don’t have a passport? You’re never left the UK or been overseas on holiday? Have you even ever set foot outside of Scotland?
@JeffBro08509100 I don’t mind debating the pros and cons of Indy with you but let’s at least stick with the facts. No won 55/45. That’s just a historical fact. If you didn’t know that, you really should.
