One of the most thoughtful, intelligent and balanced articles that I have ever read on illegal migration and the small boats crisis. Kudos to @matthewsyed for this:

“Your first duty is to serve your own citizens. Not people from Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan or Nigeria. The British people.

Oh, and the nation you serve is not just a territory. It is a home. Our home. It is where we live and work, and where ritual, community, family, and other concepts we might assemble under the rubric of "culture" come together to weave the fabric of a life. Our life. The only life we have and which unfolds in concord with those with whom we share it.

Without borders, we are not a nation, and without a nation, we are nothing.

We are but tribes or clans, scattered here and there, pipsqueak groups unable to operate at scale or to defend what is precious. To open our borders in the name of "compassion" to people, some of whom hate our values and wish to destroy them, is to place your virtue above our safety. It is a form of self-annihilating madness dressed up as enlightenment.

Only the myopic will infer from the above that I am in favour of slamming the doors to those in need.”

Here’s the full article in The Sunday Times.

This is so great. These two guys are exposing the incoherence of the trans movement and it's driving NPCs nuts.

Great post thanks. Definitely one of the best leaders the world has ever seen. Even on law and order - the west was highly critical of corporal and capital punishment. Yet most feel far safer - in fact totally safer - in Singapore than on the streets of most Western cities. A society gets what it is prepared to tolerate.

Chesterton on how the Crusades were a response to Muslim aggression:

“When people talk as if the Crusades were nothing more than an aggressive raid against Islam, they seem to forget in the strangest way that Islam itself was only an aggressive raid against the old and ordered civilization in these parts. I do not say it in mere hostility to the religion of Mahomet; I am fully conscious of many values and virtues in it; but certainly it was Islam that was the invasion and Christendom that was the thing invaded.”

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

Charlie Munger: "I always liked the story of P.J. O'Rourke, who said, 'The last Communist dictator of Albania was a pure Communist.

He threw out the Russian embassy because they'd lost the pure faith. Then he kicked out the Chinese Communists because they'd lost the pure faith.

Finally, he was only comfortable with two places in the world. One was the Communist dictator of North Korea and the other was the English department at Yale.'" 🤣

To my Black Trans Lesbians, BIPOC Trans and Trans adjacent... Don't let people rain on your parade! These mainstream media outlets and commentators are dead naming me or misgendering me, it's GENOCIDE. People on the left are spewing a lot of nonbinary hate. Silence is violence, where are all the advocates and allies? Who are they to tell me I'm not a Black woman? I'm slayyyyyin, kweeeens stand up! CLOCK IT! 💅🏽

Right wingers aren't the reason people can't stand the trans movement.

I'd argue MOST people, me included, used to be totally indifferent to all of this. My position genuinely used to be that I don't care what you do as an adult, provided it doesn't affect me.

I don't feel like that any more. Not even a little.

Somewhere along the road, trans activists and progressives got extremely forceful and loud. And then it became impossible to ignore their bullshit.

"Please let us live in peace" turned into forcing transition on minors.
And forcing men into women's spaces.
And quite literally changing the definition of the word "woman".

In medicine, we have been pushed to change how we understand the female sex in order to accommodate a bunch of men who think they are female (lmfao what the fuck are we even doing?)

Then it was all the legal battles where judges undermined what it is to be a woman. Forcing women to accept men into female-only gyms, locker rooms, bathrooms and apps. Making women feel uncomfortable and unsafe in order to protect the precious feelings of these men.

We have been to thoroughly dehumanized by the trans community.
"Chest feeding"
"Front hole"
"Menstruating person"
"Birthing person"

Anything and everything that makes women remarkable, unique, and DIFFERENT to men has been erased so we can include a bunch of mentally ill men in our ranks.

Voicing concern got you fired and socially ostracized. Women have been too terrified to speak up and do anything because, across the Western world, we have virtually no support and no protections from the justice system.

Women (and men) in Britain were (maybe still are) being charged and arrested for MISGENDERING people online. Harassed for pointing out the biological reality that MEN CANNOT BE WOMEN.

And this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what women, girls and children have had to endure for the past decade or so.

Public opinion went backwards because the most insane people have had the microphone for the better part of ten years. And they have pushed everyone's tolerance to the brink.

Blame yourselves. You did this to yourselves. You have hurt women and children so significantly and so thoroughly that there is no coming back from this.

You are exclusively the ones at fault for where you are, Tim McBride.

You have GOT to be freaking kidding me...🤡🤡

Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White have done the nation a MASSIVE service when it comes to exposing transgender for the insanity it really is.

This is BEYOND parody.

A task force to define the word "woman."

"I think it's only fair I get a chance to play with some of my queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime!"

OMG 😂😂

"You know, I've always trusted the science and I thought I was a man my entire life, but you know, after further review and strong look at my personal preferences — it would appear that that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman."

On a réussi le plus gros scam idéologique du XXe siècle : coller Hitler dans la case « extrême droite ».

Prenez l’intégralité du programme économique nazi (pas les citations sorties de leur contexte) :

- contrôle des prix et des salaires
- planification industrielle massive
- nationalisations et étatisation de pans entiers de l’économie
- stigmatisation des « profiteurs » et des « capitalistes » comme boucs émissaires
- obsession du contrôle de la localisation du capital et de la production

Remplacez quelques mots et vous avez exactement la même logique que celle d’un Bernie Sanders ou de n’importe quel socialiste qui veut « reprendre le contrôle » sur l’économie au nom du peuple contre les élites.

Le national-socialisme n’était pas « de droite » parce qu’il était autoritaire et raciste. Il était socialiste dans sa structure économique et dans sa méthode : désigner un bouc émissaire, concentrer le pouvoir, et planifier.

Appeler ça « droite » a permis à la gauche de se laver les mains de tout totalitarisme économique pendant 80 ans. Et c’est exactement ce qui pourrit encore le débat politique aujourd’hui.

More often than not, tolerating rampant crime in society is a policy choice.

After El Salvador locked up over 1% of its population (87,000 people), the murder rate collapsed from the highest in the world to one of the lowest in the Americas.

No activist judges to abuse the legal system, no human rights NGOs to effectively protect crime qua crime.

Voters handed Bukele the largest landslide in El Salvador’s democratic history with 83% of the vote and his party 58 of 60 legislative seats.

Because at some point, somebody has to say we’ve had enough of living at the mercy of the bottom 1%.

The Jason Arday episode is a perfect microcosm of a Western system rotting under the weight of human deadwood. Not just academia, wokeness, welfare bureaucracies, “learing” centers, or the laptop manager class exposed during Covid, but an entire civilization in which millions contribute nothing, produce nothing, and solve nothing while participating in an elaborate theater of fake productivity designed to conceal their complete uselessness. The real work is left to a shrinking productive minority forced to carry everyone else.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Perhaps the most disturbing element in the fantasy world of (ex)-Professor Jason Arday is not his proclivity to embellish his achievements (or lack thereof) in absurd ways that were easily exposed or Cambridge University’s facile complicity in his whole scam but that a reporter at Times Higher Education, who was looking into anomalies in Mr Arday’s dodgy CV, was subjected to a four-month police investigation for allegedly harassing him. The police need to be held to account for this abuse of police power to thwart a journalist from doing his job.
