The City Dissident

I like a decent Scotch and a Tunnock's wafer biscuit as much as anyone, but Scotland seems so fucking weird. Just look at these two. Politicians of the Year?!

A country governed by people who simply don't care. And even if they did care, don't have the ability to do anything else.

Trump may be in the White House, but the demographic and political climate in America is no better than here for white people, for all the "we still have our guns" bravado of a certain section of US activism. That handgun in the bedroom is not political power.

Fascinating to see a stretch of road that has played a big part in my life, as it looked just after it was constructed in 1941. The exit signs for Orange Grove Ave tell me I am close to my LA home.

The thing that is 'utterly heartbreaking' here is that this businessman actually thought that because Burnham - a demonstrably shallow man who's been a socialist parasite his entire working life - is a fellow Northerner, he would 'get it'. That is the tragedy of Britain, captured right there. Moronic class consciousness as a substitute for rational thought.

24 years in the Marines also seems to have taught him to align himself with a party of communists, nutters and persecutors of former soldiers on trumped-up charges.

HM Treasury reigns supreme and decides the policy: it presents chancellors with options and says 'pick one'. All the parliamentarians do is act as spokesmen for the Treasury - and that is why nothing ever improves. When Truss and Kwarteng dared to defy the Treasury in 2022, they were bundled out the door sharpish.

On the other hand, millions of Third World welfare-dependents and rapists actually improve our prosperity and security, according to this lot. I'll take my chances with the Russians, thanks.

This is true, but it's largely the same people that the Tories spent 14 years featherbedding too. The only real difference was that the Tories pretended constantly that they were on the side of 'alarm clock Brits' but nonetheless shafted them at every opportunity anyway.

If you elect politicians who subscribe to extreme anti-car views, you are going to get the implementation of extreme anti-car policy that sees potentially lethal road damage deliberately not repaired.

Fascinating watching leftist female hypocrisy on the subject of sex crimes against women/girls. When it suits their political agenda, they're up in arms in performative outrage, happy to accuse any bloke within a one-mile radius of being a rapist, even though all the evidence is that he didn't rape anyone (Cornell University). But when it doesn't suit the political worldview, it's just no big deal, 'sure the slag wasn't asking for it?', and dismissed as part and parcel of living in modern society (Britain as viewed by the female editor of The Economist).

It’s exactly this. If you don’t declare war on Whitehall, it is certainly going to declare war on you. And it’s a fight to the death.

Pitiful. If you play their game according to their rules, you will lose. It’s set up that way. But Farage can’t help himself, so he always loses.

A country with government as small minded as this just isn’t going to make it.

We're at the point where regime media is extolling the virtue of the regime removing import taxes on marmalade - in a country that makes most of the marmalade it consumes - which tells us that Britain's late-era-Soviet-Union feel is only increasing to a new level.

What I can tell you confidently is that the word "smoke" could be replaced here by numerous other things that he doesn't approve of and wants banned, because authoritarian busybodies always have a list of such things that is as long as your arm.

As he lives large off your taxes with a salary and pension you can only dream of, schemes behind the scenes to promote the regime’s political agenda, and sends his thick, thuggish officers round to your home to investigate you for political speech crimes, he then pops up on regime media to describe himself as a ‘public servant’.

The British regime hates the internet/social media because its oppressive and petty behaviour now reaches a worldwide audience. The days when a few calls to Fleet St editors could bury a story the regime didn't like are long gone, and the regime seethes with fury because of it.
