The racist one tries to win arguments with bluff, attitude and bullying tactics but her lack and intelligence and her non grasp of facts won’t win with Mogg.👏👏

A fantastic watch to see her struggle and try and play for thinking time.😊

They’re all for socialism until they’re asked to apply that same concept to their grades..

Funny how that works. Watch this.

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

She's very talented, and has earned vast sums of money, a lot of which she spends helping other people

What is delusional about that ?

You should examine your delusional assumptions

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Finland’s MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen, who openly calls for the deportation of migrants who rape European women and girls, has just been banned from entering the UK.

The British government labeled his demand for justice “hate speech.”

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.

"Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians."

"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings."

"It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit."

"No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it."

"You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said."

"You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say."

"Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."

British culture is better than Pakistani culture. This isn’t controversial.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

Pointillisme was an immersive installation created by Japanese architect and designer Taiju Yamashita. The work took inspiration from the painting technique of pointillism, where many tiny dots combine to create a larger image. Instead of paint, Yamashita used thousands of suspended transparent spheres to create a three-dimensional “drawing” made of light.

Wise words

This is a 16-hour timelapse of an embryo forming a spinal cord.

Seeing this happen, watching such staggering complexity unfold, should erase any doubt that this is all the result of undirected processes.

The intricacy on display is nothing short of spectacular. To me, it points toward one conclusion that "intelligent engineering and divine design" is behind it all.

Watching something like this, what conclusion do you come to?
