Andrew Wilson finally showed up to debate me and it got heated. But at least @paleochristcon showed up to defend the honor of @Rach4Patriarchy
I still would have preferred that it was moderated by @lporiginalg@jakeshieldsajj@TheAndrewMeyer or I think @Cobratate would be a good moderator

You can see what heaven is like when you study children and how they behave.
Their souls are closer to the spirit and as they age they actually move further away,
just like all of us.
As a child you did not have a concept of time, you never noticed it, this is what the next realm is like, sounds beautiful doesn’t it?
The eternal is play
Franz Kafka revealed the reason why we often get tired of people.
In fact, we get tired of our own insincerity around them.
We are exhausted by a company where we cannot be genuine:
We are here in London Pride, and a lot of the stalls are selling sexual panties that say I'm horny, fuck me, all in front of children.
Absolutely disgusting and degenerate behaviour.
I’m inclined to split the difference here. Not that I disagree with Carl's take, it's the proper analysis. But I would be mindful that Restore is in many ways a Vanguard army itself. Almost all the activists are former (other party) vanguard units. Rupert himself was the Vanguard captain of the Reform army before Nigel unwisely expelled him. This appealed to the the now considerable number of ronin former vanguards out there would have spent decades trying to find a political movement that would have them.
So Restore needs be mindful if its own vanguard.
This is particularly peculiar for someone like me who has always been on the vanguard of every political movement I’ve ever been in. Who now weirdly has a political movement in which I am pretty centrist. And for guys who have been around for a while who have constantly tried to drag politics to the right - it's vindicating that we actually did it. But the key point is, it took a long time, and its hardly as if the battle is won, far from it, we just now have an army. These are merely the conditions from which we can seriously think about winning.
And I think Restore themselves have it absolutely right, Steve or Zoomer or anyone else are not being expelled. They just aren't being elevated - because British politics just isn't receptive to that yet. Its exactly like Tony Blair did not expel his hard left (like Starmer unwisely did) - but when by fluke, Corbyn actually got control of Labour the British public didn't respond to it. So the hard left controlling 100% of zero political power didn't do them any favours. They are actually better off now controlling 15% of total political power as they do now. It would be more, but Starmer threw so many of them out Labour is now split on the left with the Greens.
So I don’t have any advice for Restore, other than to say the vanguard should be treated with respect, not expelled, but not necessarily elevated prematurely either. Which is exactly what they are doing.
And to the vanguard I need to say ZOOM OUT. Just look at what you have - an explicitly nativist party with explicitly nativist policies that give you 80% of what you want. And if you got that 80% you would be over the moon. And if you have been doing this for a while, as I have - just bloody marvel at how far we have already come.
But remember just because the British public have moved enough to make Restore viable - is not the same thing as yet actually winning a majority. This is the moment we consolidate, hold the ground we have captured and expand our army, and that means all vaguely right of center normies - who will be frustratingly slow, but they are amenable because every few months they see another person who looks like their son getting brutally murdered for no reason, or someone who looks like their granddaughter getting brutally assaulted by an invader and they think “gosh thats bad”. - They don’t see these events daily like you, because they are still TV watching normies. They are super frustrating - but they are the ones we need. And if Rupert marches around declaring support for every idea that the normies have been indoctrinated for DECADES to be repulsed by, they will indeed become repulsed.
Take your win, push where you need to push. But don’t burn the house down because Restore is not racing so far ahead of the right of center normies they never get on board.
Instead just look at the policies and ask yourself if that's something you want. And if you could be satisfied getting that much before charging forward once again?

I can’t let this go unchallenged.
That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.
The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.
The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.
What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.
The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.
In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!
