FFS. It seems that our newly-elected (and we use the word ‘elected’ as a laugh!) is more interested in sachets of tomato ketchup than the tsunami drowning Britain in high-taxes, illegals, unemployment and looking after the population. Which just about sums up his attitude of the whole downward direction of his Labour government, following on from 14 years of uni-party rule by the Tories which started the whole process off in the first place. Sachets in restaurants is far more important than the fact that Britain is Broke. So instead make announcements that have no effect on anything (apart from the fact that we’ll go back to the greasy spoon bottles of ketchup with filthy crusted pourers which put you off from your meal once you’d cleared the obstruction!)

Then another utterly stupid item that will no doubt, as the first one, will involve employing another dozen or so Civil Servants – and probably establishing a quango as well – to administer it, this one about an EU directive that says bacon-flavoured crisps are NOT allowed! As are chicken-flavoured, frog-flavoured or aadvark-flavoured ones. https://tinyurl.com/3evdxbhp

This latest from Andrew Lawrence is spiffing. He really nails it as to what our society and our Christian Christmas is all about these days, enabled by the John Lewis Christmas ad. Wonderful!

We’ll save our comments over the disastrous GOP electoral failings at the mid-terms. We need a few days to digest what has happened and the thoughts for the future of the USA. Suffice it to say that the resulting political divides have grown much stronger and if you want a parallel then only look at this country of ours – the UK. The division is now people-on-the-right vs extreme-left wing commies and socialists.
How Elon Musk will cope is anybody’s guess.
As we always knew – and America will find out shortly, the rule of law, the constitution of a country, the democracy that has been established over centuries, and the wishes of the people, stand for nothing when the leftists get their teeth into any sort of political control. OK, the electorate in most places are seemingly simpletons relying on hope that a leopard will change it’s spots or that an ideological commie will change his mind, which is why Poland, the UK and now the USA have elected outright leftists to have the power.
As we say, we’ll reprise the USA in the next blog, but in Poland centuries old constitutions are trying to be discarded because they foolishly voted to join the EU. THEN they elected Donald Tusk!! https://tinyurl.com/3d36ypnc

In the UK, referendums don’t count unless it is for the EU (twice) but vote against the EU (once) and you’ll be a pariah who politicos won’t take any notice of at all and dismissing you as if you don’t exist. And the Labour leftists were ONLY elected because Reform was in it’s infancy.

Wokism is still around apparently. Not content with Coors, Jaguar and all the other manufacturers that have nearly gone broke because the producers of the ads went overboard in promoting woke/trans/queer stuff, we have the 2026 John Lewis advert featuring ….. a grandma, her daughter who are both obviously white/Anglo-Saxon), a black son-in-law and two grand kids who are NOT white/Anglo-Saxon. (In our days at school they’d have been called half-casts, and THAT is not acceptable these days – but it STILL defines what they are doesn’t it?) Anyway, no hugs you notice (must have been watching an ad in Ireland!) and disrespectful disruptive hooligans decimating grandma’s house. And grandma ends up talking to a toy – early onset of something?!
Our only question is – Is this REALLY a view of what most people are putting up with these days? Or is it a nail in John Lewis’ coffin?
Now in contrast, LIDL’s advert is 10,000 times better! (It’s about CHRISTMAS!)

Something that didn’t surprise us in the least was the headline that ‘honour-based abuse cases soar to a record high in England and Wales as victims face forced marriage and genital mutilation’. So, we’ve been warning for decades now that the Islamisation of Britain began years ago, and it is insidious, creeping up without warning and then all of a sudden you can’t get rid of it. The above headline is a case in point. The authorities and establishment do not want to make waves with our Asian brothers, so let it pass. Maybe a few 9and we’re talking VERY few!) cases actually hit the headlines, but most instances of the victims above stay un-noticed.
But, THAT has always been the case with our allowance of religious freedoms in good old Blighty – just ignore it, let them carry on and providing it doesn’t affect us particularly, we’ll pretend it doesn’t exist. And if we find out it does exist, every ‘human rights’ will be garnered to make sure it never reaches a fury. What about the victim you’ll say? Well religious freedom is above all man-made laws and doesn’t count.
Our ONLY dichotomy in the above is that for centuries the Western World, Christian, Jewish and other offshoots have been advancing circumcision for minors when they are very young and cannot answer back, or indeed have their foreskins replaced if they do not agree with it later on! This practice is EXACTLY the same except one is inflicted on girls and one is inflicted on boys? We think so, and please do not start about the health aspect – there isn’t one, providing you wash the area every day. https://tinyurl.com/mv3w6y58 Smegma should not exist.

We notice that Autumn snow is forecast in the UK, and no one as yet has blamed climate change/global warming. Apparently it is just ‘weather’ – as we’ve been saying since this blog started! The ‘Polar Vortex’ has started early it seems and El Nino has evaporated early. As we say it is WEATHER!

The Labour spokesman which is always a woman it seems, are still being rotated until they can actually find someone with an ounce of speaking ability and knowledge of what they are talking about. Emma Reynolds didn’t last long and the woman before her didn’t last long either. Now they wheel out geriatric Angela Eagle (crikey she looks older than us MOGS – and that is saying something!) who has no more ability than any of the others. (You wonder how this woman could have lasted so long in politics?) But it is a problem when your whole cabinet and the PM have a minimal IQ – we estimate that every dozen or so ministers IQ could not add up in total to a Russel Brand. We also reckon that Forrest Gump would add about 20 points to the average!
