Yes, I thought it would be something like that. Very appropriate, ATM,
I think. Something to do with enfeeblement and infantilisation.

I think. Something to do with enfeeblement and infantilisation.
The point made by the interesting BBC series on Queen Jane that finished last night, was that the aristocratic elite could not rule without the support of the people. There were good rational reasons for the Duke of Northumberland setting up Lady Jane Grey as the monarch. This protected the recently established Protestant heritage. The bulk of public opinion was against it however, and the more popular Mary Tudor succeeded in ousting Jane, with Jane’s supporters in the Privy council nearly all switching sides. Bad as we know Bloody Mary turned out to be, there is something reassuringly democratic about the resistance of the English people to the domination of a self appointed and ideological elite.

I am reminded of Brexit and even more of Trump.

Two leading representative of the British left liberal elite Will Hutton and Nick Cohen are very frustrated and upset about the way things have been going.

In the conclusion to his readable book attacking New Labour "Pretty Straight Guys" in 2003, Cohen proposed a simple solution. What we needed was more democracy. He said it had never really been tried. More lately he has been having more complicated thoughts on the subject.

https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/11/brexit-is-the-new-low-point-of-british-democracy/

“Elections are too weak a control on power. As the Trump example shows they can be exploited by charismatic thugs. Electoral reform rewrites the problem rather than answering it. Meanwhile, Brexit shows that the direct democracy of a referendum allows charlatans to win with false promises; and then insist that the public cannot hold them to account in a second referendum; and that Parliament cannot intervene in the public interest because it would be defying the people’s will to do so.”

If it works well democracy is a good system of governance.

Of course the power base of the left liberal elite is not democracy but “values of the weak” which is to say bogus ideas of equality. When the democratic will turns against them they fall back on expostulations of morality, which have little rational basis but appeal to the resentment of self defined victims. They might win. If they do their victory is likely to nasty.

Was it a drama, or a documentary? BBC documentaries can still,
occasionally be informative, but the drama is generally some kind of
propaganda. I don't have a TV licence, and don't want to break the law,
but if I've missed a good documentary, I'll go and watch it on mum and
dad's catch-up.

My very humble opinion is that the English have had everything pretty
much sorted for a very long time, and that we should not allow our
identities to be cast into some globalist blender. Accustomed to our
ordered and gentle lives, we are easy prey.

Is Will Hutton so prominent now? I used to think he was odd and
likeable on those various history documentaries, and things like Tudor
Monastery Farm. I even got me mum a book about pagans that he'd written.

I don't know who Nick Cohen is.

Free speech hasn't been 'sorted' for a long time. And please stop saying
it's the 'left' doing the censoring, that's just a cop-out. There is
nothing remotely 'left' about those attacking free speech and Western
values - they are an evil and vicious tyranny whose clear objective is
to destroy us.

I'm not going to spell out who 'they' are, that's what they'd love us to
do, but it should be perfectly clear to anyone with a functioning brain.

No, I'm not going to expand on what I said - but the truth is very easy
to find if you dig about a bit and observe who's doing and saying what.

There is clearly a very determined agenda to destroy Europe and European
peoples worldwide, and there has been for a very long time. The media,
the schools and our politicians have all been subverted to the cause.
The plan, quite simply, is to replace us.

to find if you dig about a bit and observe who's doing and saying what.
Well, I think you need to have good reasons for digging in a certain

I can certainly believe we are being replaced, because that's what I
feel is happening to me, and I fear for the future of our son. I
haven't personally connected this to 'the Jews', since I think we are
being replaced by people who hate them much more than we generally do.
It just seems counter-productive. Maybe there is a subset that doesn't

finished last night, was that the aristocratic elite could not rule
without the support of the people.  There were good rational reasons
for the Duke of Northumberland setting up Lady Jane Grey as the
monarch. This protected the recently established Protestant heritage.
The bulk of public opinion was against it however, and the more
popular Mary Tudor succeeded in ousting Jane, with Jane’s supporters
in the Privy council nearly all switching sides. Bad as we know Bloody
Mary turned out to be, there is something reassuringly democratic
about the resistance of the English people to the domination of  a
self appointed and ideological elite.
My very humble opinion is that the English have had everything pretty
much sorted for a very long time, and that we should not allow our
identities to be cast into some globalist blender.  Accustomed to our
ordered and gentle lives, we are easy prey.
I am reminded of Brexit and even more of Trump.
Two leading representative of the British  left liberal elite Will
Hutton and Nick Cohen are very frustrated and upset about the way
things have been going.
Is Will Hutton so prominent now?  I used to think he was odd and
likeable on those various history documentaries, and things like Tudor
Monastery Farm.  I even got me mum a book about pagans that he'd written.
I don't know who Nick Cohen is.
In the conclusion to his readable book attacking New Labour "Pretty
Straight Guys" in 2003, Cohen proposed a simple solution. What we
needed was more democracy. He said it had never really been tried.
More lately he has been having more complicated thoughts on the subject.

“Elections are too weak a control on power. As the Trump example
shows they can be exploited by charismatic thugs. Electoral reform
rewrites the problem rather than answering it. Meanwhile, Brexit
shows that the direct democracy of a referendum allows charlatans to
win with false promises; and then insist that the public cannot hold
them to account in a second referendum; and that Parliament cannot
intervene in the public interest because it would be defying the
people’s will to do so.”
If it works well democracy is a good system of governance.
Of course the power base of the left liberal elite is not democracy
but “values of the weak” which is to say bogus ideas of equality.
When the democratic will turns against them they fall back on
expostulations of morality, which have little rational basis but
appeal to the resentment of  self defined victims. They might win. If
they do their victory is likely to nasty.
I don't know what the future of democracy is going to be.  We thought
we had free speech pretty much sorted, but now that the left are doing
the censoring...
Free speech hasn't been 'sorted' for a long time. And please stop saying
it's the 'left' doing the censoring, that's just a cop-out. There is
nothing remotely 'left' about those attacking free speech and Western
values - they are an evil and vicious tyranny whose clear objective is
to destroy us.
I'm not going to spell out who 'they' are, that's what they'd love us to
do, but it should be perfectly clear to anyone with a functioning brain.
I'm not going to make any great claims about the functioning of my
brain :-)  But I'm guessing you mean Jews; and I'm not going to
criticise, or claim any great knowledge on the subject either way.  If
you'd care to expand a little, I'd be genuinely interested.  I will
not come back and say I believe anything or not (there are some things
for which I need to see in order to believe); but simply file it away
and see if it offers an explanation for anything I see in the future.
If you prefer not to go there (you say that's what they'd love us to
do), I'll have to be content with your hints :-)
Your brain is functioning perfectly well, and you are clearly a
reasonable and fair-minded person - I'm sorry if you believe I was
implying otherwise.
No, I did not believe that.  I just wanted to emphasise that I'm not
always the best at joining the dots, as it were.

You could listen to a notorious speech by Barbara Spectre, which proves that at lest one Jew has this agenda. Then you can look at the record of the immensely powerful George Soros and wonder whether his being Jewish has anything to do with his desire to promote amssive third world immigration in Europe or whether he just incidentlaly "happens to be Jewish" as most commentators want us to think.

I know Christians who "have their agenda". Are we to hunt them down and stop this treacherous practice of "having an agenda"?

Posts here frequently DEMAND that the current UK government "have an agenda".

What precisely is the correct stand on the concept of "an agenda"?

You remind me of Hobbes, who identified the problem with calls for and faith in Reason. "They that call for right reason to decide any controversy, do mean their own [reason]."

Bishop Warburton: "Orthodoxy is MY doxy; unorthodoxy is the other man's doxy."

A passionate advocate like yourself certainly has an agenda, so you must not decry others for being like yourself; decry only their proven sin.

Let's just clarify all our motives and agendas then we can have what is called a level playing field. I am not blaming Spectre or Soros for having their agendas. Shine a bright light upon them though and they might not succeed. And don't prohibit criticism of, for example, Jews, and let us become impervious to moral blackmail.

BTW if you haven't heard Barbara Lerner Spectre, you must.



That's called letting the cat out of the bag.

I was talking about the specific agenda of wanting to replace the white race in Europe. You may think that is ok- maybe you agree with it. Do you? I was explaining for Dan something he said he doubted and did not understand. But please listen to Spectre and say what you think.

You refer particularly to an agenda "to replace the white race in Europe."

Please point me to those words articulated in print or aloud, anywhere, by a person you believe to be Jewish.

Go ahead: those words "replace the white race in Europe".

Perhaps you have been reading Louis-Ferdinand Celine --- but his ravings were self generated and never cited an outside source, Jewish or otherwise.

The reaction of the CONSERVATIVE elite, not that of liberals and progressives.

Similarly, conservative churchmen were frantic when the Bible appeared in English. Tyndale had this saying attributed to him:
"If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scripture, than thou dust."

much sorted for a very long time, and that we should not allow our
identities to be cast into some globalist blender.  Accustomed to our
ordered and gentle lives, we are easy prey.
I am reminded of Brexit and even more of Trump.
Two leading representative of the British  left liberal elite Will
Hutton and Nick Cohen are very frustrated and upset about the way
things have been going.
Is Will Hutton so prominent now?  I used to think he was odd and
likeable on those various history documentaries, and things like Tudor
Monastery Farm.  I even got me mum a book about pagans that he'd written.
I don't know who Nick Cohen is.
In the conclusion to his readable book attacking New Labour "Pretty
Straight Guys" in 2003, Cohen proposed a simple solution. What we
needed was more democracy. He said it had never really been tried.
More lately he has been having more complicated thoughts on the subject.

“Elections are too weak a control on power. As the Trump example
shows they can be exploited by charismatic thugs. Electoral reform
rewrites the problem rather than answering it. Meanwhile, Brexit
shows that the direct democracy of a referendum allows charlatans to
win with false promises; and then insist that the public cannot hold
them to account in a second referendum; and that Parliament cannot
intervene in the public interest because it would be defying the
people’s will to do so.”
If it works well democracy is a good system of governance.
Of course the power base of the left liberal elite is not democracy
but “values of the weak” which is to say bogus ideas of equality.
When the democratic will turns against them they fall back on
expostulations of morality, which have little rational basis but
appeal to the resentment of  self defined victims. They might win. If
they do their victory is likely to nasty.
I don't know what the future of democracy is going to be.  We thought
we had free speech pretty much sorted, but now that the left are doing
the censoring...
Free speech hasn't been 'sorted' for a long time. And please stop saying
it's the 'left' doing the censoring, that's just a cop-out. There is
nothing remotely 'left' about those attacking free speech and Western
values - they are an evil and vicious tyranny whose clear objective is
to destroy us.
I'm not going to spell out who 'they' are, that's what they'd love us to
do, but it should be perfectly clear to anyone with a functioning brain.
I'm not going to make any great claims about the functioning of my
brain :-)  But I'm guessing you mean Jews; and I'm not going to
criticise, or claim any great knowledge on the subject either way.  If
you'd care to expand a little, I'd be genuinely interested.  I will
not come back and say I believe anything or not (there are some things
for which I need to see in order to believe); but simply file it away
and see if it offers an explanation for anything I see in the future.
If you prefer not to go there (you say that's what they'd love us to
do), I'll have to be content with your hints :-)
Your brain is functioning perfectly well, and you are clearly a
reasonable and fair-minded person - I'm sorry if you believe I was
implying otherwise.
No, I'm not going to expand on what I said - but the truth is very easy
to find if you dig about a bit and observe who's doing and saying what.
There is clearly a very determined agenda to destroy Europe and European
peoples worldwide, and there has been for a very long time. The media,
the schools and our politicians have all been subverted to the cause.
The plan, quite simply, is to replace us.
In terms of digging, Google the Kalergi Plan together with the Frankfurt
School and Cultural Marxism. They are good pointers in the right direction.

The values of the weak are in the van, because the strong have
adopted them in order to lead with them. ( Nietzsche)
He owned a van?
Alternative translation:- “The values of the weak prevail because
the strong have taken them over as devices of leadership”
Yes, I thought it would be something like that.  Very
appropriate, ATM,
I think.  Something to do with enfeeblement and infantilisation.
The point made  by the interesting BBC series on Queen Jane that
Was it a drama, or a documentary?  BBC documentaries can still,
occasionally be informative, but the drama is generally some kind of
propaganda.  I don't have a TV licence, and don't want to break the
law, but if I've missed a good documentary, I'll go and watch it on
mum and dad's catch-up.
finished last night, was that the aristocratic elite could not rule
without the support of the people.  There were good rational reasons
for the Duke of Northumberland setting up Lady Jane Grey as the
monarch. This protected the recently established Protestant heritage.
The bulk of public opinion was against it however, and the more
popular Mary Tudor succeeded in ousting Jane, with Jane’s supporters
in the Privy council nearly all switching sides. Bad as we know Bloody
Mary turned out to be, there is something reassuringly democratic
about the resistance of the English people to the domination of  a
self appointed and ideological elite.

I think you mean Ronald Hutton. Will Hutton writes for the Observer like Nick Cohen.

Free speech has gone out of fashion. It might make women and homos and trannies and all sorts of ethnics feel bad about themselves.

God, I am so hopeless with first names. I once referred to David
Starkey as Richard Starkey, to much amusement. I can't even remember
the names of people I've worked with for decades.

But then, who closes the rear doors to the van, if the driver must be in the
cab at all times?

It all sounds rather like a false economy.

Very good :-) I wonder if there's a lady in the van, too? Up front.

I guess he was the original white van man. TBH, Nietzsche seemed to me
to be the only one of the lot of them with something practical to say.
The rest just baffle me.
