The ‘stuff your boots’ Starmers
I saw this chart on the GB News website. I don’t know what period it refers to, but the difference between gimme-free-gear, 10-tier Keir and other MPs is astonishing:
And then we mustn’t forget the delectable Lady Victoria Starmer who doesn’t seem to be allergic to pocketing a few bob’s worth of fancy frocks now that her husband is vying for the prize of being Parliament’s leading scrounger thanks to the selfless generosity of such pillars of the establishment as Lord Alibaba (or whatever he’s called):
I haven’t seen Neil Oliver so angry
I would disagree with a few issues in this video like:
- Russia has already won the war in Ukraine
- The chaos in Haiti is the fault of US meddling (my fear of Starmer’s thought-police thugs prevent me commenting further about the situation in hopeless Haiti)
- Whether Colonel Douglas Macgregor (whom Neil Oliver quotes) is totally unbiased
- and maybe a few other small points
However, (as US political ads often say) “I endorse this message”:

I saw a quote in an article earlier by an American Catholic Archbishop, Fulton J Sheen and I looked up more quotes and saved a few. He died in 1979. I don’t know the date of these quotes.
“Democracy cannot survive where there is such uniformity that everyone wears exactly the same intellectual uniform or point of view. Democracy implies diversity of outlook, a variety of points of view on politics, economics, and world affairs. Hence the educational ideal is not uniformity but unity, for unity allows diversity of points of view regarding the good means to a good end.”
“The basic struggle today is not between individualism and collectivism, free enterprise and socialism, democracy and dictatorship. These are only the superficial manifestations of a deeper struggle which is moral and spiritual and involves above all else whether man shall exist for the state, or the state for man, and whether freedom is of the spirit or a concession of a materialized society.”
I also liked this one:
“There are three ways in which a man becomes a slave. He may be born into slavery, or forced into it, or he can deliberately accept his servitude. All three forms flourish in the modern world. Men are born and forced into slavery in Russia and her satellites states. Men in the free world invite slavery when they ask the government to provide complete security, when they surrender their freedom to the Welfare State.”
The days of democracy went a long time ago and we ignored the people who saw it. My view is that the idea was created to make us believe that we controlled the government. This was reinforced when universal suffrage came along. We are fools and in the depths of the black hole that the politicians encouraged us to leap into.
The usual IMHO Churchillian rant from the true king of Scotland. One sentence in particular speaks more truth than all the truths contained in his rant ( I use rant not as a negative term by the way ) He called it the “planned demolition of Britain” and that is exactly what it is and the sad thing is it is aided and supported by our own who are in on it and our own who are to dull/dense/thick/blind/ignorant/sleepy/distracted to see it.
