Terry Pratchett (GNU) said "There is no Justice, there is Just Us" - which latter phrase he said translates into Irish as 'Sinn Féin".

Prejudice is to racism as speed is to velocity: the first in each pair is a scalar quantity (no direction implied) while the other two are vector quantities: velocity is speed plus direction, racism is prejudice that follows the direction of an existing power dynamic.

I'd heard of these before - but I was sure it was an April Fool....
Replying to @theiaincameron
The island is Inchconnachan, near Luss. It is only about 100 acres, but hidden among its oak and birch woodland is a breeding population of, bizarrely, red-necked wallabies, native to Australia and Tasmania. 2/n

Only makes sense in a strict two-party system (or if you have multiple candidates and everyone ranks them in order and then at each count you remove the last person and share their votes among the rest according to people's next choice down: rinse and repeat)
If you want a government that serves the majority, all MPs must be elected with majority support. Add a VETO option to the ballot that triggers a rerun if a majority of voters choose to VETO. Prevent minority rule and maximise the common good. Sign the petition to support:

And yet 37 years later 37.4% of the electorate was enough to tear us out of the EU....

I didn't believe the land of my birth could give Reform and Restore lessons in bigotry: but it's folk like this who shamed the lot of us by trying to burn out innocent people for being almost the same colour as a knife attacker....
Just a community of people proud of their history culture and identity, the rest of the United Kingdom could learn a thing or two from northern Ireland ❤️

There was a reason I stopped reading this eejit's SF - and now he's descended into real person terrorist fanfic....
One more post on the subject of the Irish getting their dander up. The Irish Troubles (a continuous low level insurgency) lasted from the 1960s to 1998. But they were the continuation of 'Troubles' stretching back to the 1800s. 1998, that's a bit over 25 years ago. Both sides in the Troubles, the Catholics and the Protestants, are one generation away from a civil war that lasted for TWO GENERATIONS. The Gen Z men of today were raised on the stories of the heroism and patriotism of their fathers and grandfathers and THEY HAVE HAD NO SIMILAR OUTLET. The IRA did not invent the vehicle borne IED. The Vietnamese used it before them. They just invented a cocktail from their name as well as a drinking song. 'Former' IRA weapons dealers are still some of the top illegal weapons dealers in the world. 1/10th of 'British' SAS come from Ulster. A significant fraction of the British infantry as well. Many of them served in GWOT so they have a recent master's class in insurgency. And now Keir Bloody Starmer and the Irish Government have given BOTH SIDES a reason to start again, but this time UNITED. We may be about to get a glimpse of what a civil war in the US looks like up against a massive surveillance state. Take notes.

Glorious! Dummy here doesn't even realise this gif is taking the piss out of conspiracy theorists, so she posts it. Wonderful self-own!

Does the Irish health system not cover the barking mad?
Churchill's Handler Wanted to Eradicate White People Churchill's handler, the Jew Lindemann, believed that a small circle of elites should run a mixed-race world, resulting in a stable society, "led by supermen and served by helots" (his words). “Do you know what the future historians will regard as the most important event of this age?’ It will not be Hitler, the Second World War nor the release of nuclear energy; it will not be the menace of Communism.'” Lindemann put on an expression of extreme severity... ‘It will be the abdication of the White man.’ Then he nodded his head up and down several times to drive home his proposition." The Prof -- R.F Harrod, McMillan, 1959. Page 261/2. A Personal Memoir Lord Cherwell Like his contemporary -- the Jewish-owned Count Kalergi of Austria -- Lindemann was able to "foresee" the White Man's "abdication" to "diversity" ™ coming a long time ago because he was a high-ranking member of that very gang of Globalist Ghouls that was engineering it."

A thought for British tourists of a certain age who enjoy their history, however horrible.... Outside the Rathaus in Bremen is a giant statue of Roland....

In London for a bit It’s hot as hell and nowhere has AC. I just sat through The Devil Wears Prada in 95 degree indoor heat. The internet barely works (wifi and cell network both equally bad) You can’t safely walk around with a watch and half the city has had their phone snatched. Why do they live like this?

There's some that just won't be told: books.google.com/ngrams/grap…
You'll find I'm correct & you're incorrect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdo… UK of GB & NI is the successor State. The Preceding States was Kingdoms of England & Scotland. UK was first used officially 1801.

Hey, @Grok! Are you going to tell me that Lowelife is lying?
I've just watched a video from some unwashed left wing influencer claiming that Restore Britain wants to remove a million people over a period of five years. I want to make our response really clear, because this is just blatant misinformation. We'll deport far more than that.

Oops! Meant to credit @WilliamDuguid1 Especially as there are at least two other versions on the web that read very like reconstructed memories of this. [To be fair, neither of the two I found claimed credit!]

So, if Venezuelans have enough money they can get into the USA without visas. If they're rich enough they get free transport and if they're really loaded the US government pays for their flights. And they even lay on free fireworks! We should maybe tell the DOGE kiddies at ICE?

Why have @HIGNFY_OFFICIAL not done a missing words round on the Epstein files? I've been waiting to use a "redactio ad absurdam" pun for years....
