I don’t really know where to begin, as regards reviewing the comments from the MSM about Brown agreeing to bribe all “state-registered poor people” with £120 each. So I won’t. You’ve all read them anyway. Here’s one.

This is the price of a medium-good night out for two members of the State-Generated-Underclass, in a stalinist-ruined sink-city like Liverpool. It was great, once.

Can’t think how little it would buy you in London: a single trip on the central Line (is it still called that? Not the “Working Towards the People’s Grand_Cross Rail Junction” Line, or something equally portentious?) from Nutting Hell Gate to Bonk (or from Helland Poke, or Shaggard’s Bush)? (Or actually the other way round…)

This sad, tormented middle-aged white leftist man is a contradiction. This concatenation of characteristics ought to be a total tautology, if you think about what sheer internal self-confidence about one’s place in the world the proper understanding of our civilisation could have given to these exact kinds of male humans. (Where’s the confidence gone then?) But …

… Gordon Brown, a professional “student activist” having been the only real function he has ever had, seems to think that the best advice to take today is to “bung” all poor-people £120 each, if they have been “disadvantaged” by the removal of the 10p tax rate.

Wonder how they arrived at £120? Is there some treasury computer or summat?

That’s like a Student Union Treasurer, caught with his hand in the Union Till, saying he’ll reimburse “the members” with 50p each (or £1 - it matters not): but the difference is that this offer would  ‘av’ter-be’  his own dosh. The £120’s will come from the govt’s overdraft, and we’ll have to pay the Banks to lend it.

Old socialism didn’t work, and dressing up the mouldering skeleton in new clothes, animated by a clever guy (Blair) whom they got rid of because they thought he was a Tory,  will not work either. There are NO new socialist ideas. Gramsci is dead, thank God, and accompanies Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot, in the coldness and emptiness of the Outer Void. Even Lucifer will not let them in, and hopefullt they will sonn be joined by Brezhnev, Yasser Arafat and Castro officially, if not already actually in all three cases.

(Oh, and by the way, unlike Castro, who has not been dead for very long, Osama Bin Laden will continue to remain dead, like for the last 6.5 years.)

“Steve Richards, this papers  [sic]  political columnist, recently boiled Brownism down to one succinct phrase, it was about “making capitalism work for the poor”. Only the problem is that capitalism doesn’t work for the poor. It works to create winners and therefore losers. It’s the job of centre-left governments to ensure that accidents of birth do not blight the rest of people’s lives. The market is singularly ill equipped to carry out such a task.”

And why is the “Independent” so precious and touchy? Just look at the following:

The comments are worth a scream or two, but then having read that threatening and customer-unfriendly screed in red just above here, in clear, I personally would not deign to post a comment on its site, even if they paid me. They either want traffic or they do not. Or perhaps they just want to pretend that the “centre-left” is still winning…?

David Davis

Guido thinks that the soft left have turned against him (er, Brown, that is - not Guido! I must learn how to write.) Since they, the Enemy Class, run everything, I’d offer 5p at 10:1 that Gordon goes by 30th June.

The feeling of schadenfreude, that I can’t help enjoying, over Brown’s years of tantalised torment until he finally got what he wished for, has to be experienced to be believed.

That Indy columnist whose name I can’t remember, and who I believe would not invite me to his dinner parties, doesn’t get it about socialism. he just doesn’t: he thinks people want it, and can’t figure out where they’ve gone wrong. Oh, it’s someone called Neal Lawson, I’ve remembered now.

Nice article about Meccano, a great scientific/mechanical invention, out of Liverpool.

The modern plastic stuff with all the wrong types of dedicated, non-standardised parts, in wacky zazzy colours, is just not gong to do what we want.

Here are the “Giant Blocksetting Crane”, and the “South Shields Assymmetric Blocksetting crane”, both famous models, realised all over the world, for decades.

OK, OK, OK, we can pay Chindia to build real ones for us, but we lose stature as a people if the knowledge of how to make one is no longer present as embedded in the culture, not as folk-memory but as something which people are proud to know.

When I was a boy, probably about aged 9 or so, I overheard a converstaion between my parents and my maths teacher, Mr Roberts, en ex-WW2 RSM. He was advised by my father that I was building fairly ambitious structures out of Meccano, but said that…

“Well, Mr Davis, here in the school, we don’t really recommend science toys in which the young boys are presented with pre-fabricated metal parts - it kills their initiative, you see. They should learn how to machine the parts themselves!”

Oh well, at least there’s K-Nex. It’s a good toy, but not really a patch on Meccano…

I often think about Mr Roberts, who fought all the way across North Africa, and up Italy, until he fetched up as a maths/Scripture/current affairs teacher at my prep school. If he had seen what was coming in the guise of “education, education, education”, in his nation, I can’t predict his reaction.

David Davis

Yup. Nice Gorebone…here!

The point is, anybody who says he/she is “green”, is a murderer. Of humans. Forget “animals” and plants; they are for us. I am so, so sorry, but someone has to say it first. You are thus on a level with Che Guevara (and your T-shirt is even less cool now than when I lambasted you before, no, I will NOT let you into my Club) Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez, Ceaucescu and Hitler, to name but some socialists.

How about the “British National Libertarian Party”?

David Davis

For why, see my comments responding to Tristram on my earlier post here. Er, about English churches being allowed to deliberately fall into ruin, owing to visceral hatred from Gramsco-Eagletonian fascist Marxists.

David Davis

From Guido:-

Polly Toynbee hates the contradictory “barrage” of comments that follow her articles because she has an over-inflated view of the value of her analysis. Many of us only read her articles for the pleasure of seeing them torn to shreds in the comments that interactively follow. Polly is highly paid and successful because she is a provocative columnist, not because she is a better analyst of social affairs than Frank Field. That is a valuable hack talent she shares with Richard Littlejohn…

David Davis

Here is where they will be lost.

The point is that Libertarianism has only arisen, let alone flourished (if you can define what we are doing as “flourishing”) in specifically Christian, and also specifically English-speaking civilisation. A great part of what defines this sort of society in which we are (still, sort of) fortunate to live, is the presence and influence in “local” “communities” of a thing called a “Church”. It may have been there in some concrete form or other for up to fifteen centuries. Brixworth in Northants is an example.

I believe that money is denied to these buildings by British socialist Gramsco-Eagletonians (most of whom have now got into the guvmint or are operating the levers of power in the “administration”, including all UK Soviets) for a reason. It is precisely because they passionately oppose the existence of voluntary institutions such as the Christian Religion, the Women’s Institute, the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides and the like, the local Cricket Club, and so on, that they want these buildings, many of which are architecturally and historically important, to fall into ruin. Of course, for them to replace existing human nature with another one in their own unfathomably evil image, a new form of human nature and associational behaviour has to be created, and it can only flourish on the ruins of the old one, in their eyes.

What utter bastards they must be, to get to think like that.

Does anybody think that powerful libertarian forces will become deployable in places such as, er, say…

Jeddah

Pyong-Yang

Caracas (er, possibly! Why? Discuss.)

Much Wenlock (yes.)

And don’t forget to read the comments, they are absolutely priceless.

Nanny knows best.

David Davis

The gunnery-director of REVENGE will, in due course, “shift target to next-ahead”, from telechefs to, er, something else. Not quite sure what, yet, I have not decided. But they are food for thought for some posts yet. 

I really do feel like savaging these guys (and they mostly are guys, God Blast them) for some days. Poor old Delia Smith, and all she wants to do is tell you how best to boil an egg, for God’s sake, is sheer harmlessness by comparison.

Long live female telecooks. Great chaps they are. (Not that Tamsin-thingy-woman who is a poseur, because she has a rather large garden which telly-wireless queers want to wet themselves in, while filming, and thinks she can tell people what to eat as she is quite rich, like poor mad tortured Prince Charles who is a socialist although he genuinely believes that he is not. I don’t know what to suggest that we do about him: poor, good-natured and honest, tortured man that he is. He can’t be engaged as a KIng, for sure, it would be too dangerous in the present world political climate. His mind is not focussed on real threats to the Anglosphere.)

Sorry. I don’t really watch the wireless tele vision. I don’t even remember what these people are called. She might not even be a Tamsin, even.

Fog and smoke in battlefield area. Probably not any good to poor sad dead Heath Ledger, though, for you can “search site” for that one post where we got roasted by someone who said “f*** you!!!!!!” (We don’t print 4-letter-words on this blog. I don’t allow it. No. Not. Nada. Zilch. Only in the comments, put in by others, to show who we are, and who the enemy are.)

Oh, and “Two Fat ladies” are great, even though one of them is dead.

This is what we said yesterday.

David Davis

Here in the Guardian some new stuff about his antics and “leger-de-main” about “ingredients” “sourcing”. (Great newspaper, the Guardian, often but not always. how can it be so socialist, and yet so self-examining?)

Telechefs are cooks. Cooks may be great and marvellously skilled individuals, and probably mostly are. I do not know. But if they choose to cook for money, they then ought to show humility towards the people which pay them, and not the other way around.

I blame “wireless tele vision” [that's what it really is] , currently being used as an instrument of mental control by stalinist guvmints, including this one.

David Davis

Samizdata does a keenly-written and thoughtful hatchet-job on Gordon Ramsay. Wish I’d thought of that attack myself, it’s good and to the point, specially in the persent planetary climate of global cooling and impending famine-disaster, and how globalisation could save whole populations of humans (who then would not die) in return for money. AttaPerry!

I have, as it says, been becoming increasingly irritated, and hurt also, by “telechefs” and their policy-positions (which they affect to have, as is strange) for some years. There is no wikipage for these people which I also find strange, given the effect they seem to have on the political life of the nation as regards food and consumption patterns.

On the one hand, they (seem to) seek to spice up our gustatory lives and palates, with delectably-prepared and televisually-fondled stuff that looks scrumptious, and sounds even better. They use all sorts of materials that seem exotic and come from faraway places, like Peru (strawberries and asparagus in the Northen Hemisphere winter - grand! Why the f*** didn’t we think of that years ago?)

On the other hand, having got famous and affording Ferraris and other restaurants, they are thus therefore available to be brown-nosed by Al Gore and other pop singers and film stars of his ilk. Gore and the othet film stars and pop singers are of course all great scientists and logicians, and so “telechefs”, falling under the baleful influence of these devils in return for money, seek to do these things:-

(a) ruin any pleasure gained from authorised-daytime-eating-activity for British schoolchildren, and

(b) support the pre-capitalist and barbarian notion that all food ought to be “locally grown or raised”. EU grandees, who do and support nothing of this kind whatever (or they would get bored and therefore starve), eat at their restaurants.

My own comment on the samizdata post, about what could be done to telechefs, seems to have been removed. Perhaps I will decide not to offer to write for them after all….Or, perhaps their spam-filter took out “television-cooking-pron”. I really thought “pron” would get through. Oh well, never mind. Perhaps they will de-censor it for you, I hope so (see comments.)

Why, apart from the tragic lottery of geography and weather patterns, does this sort of disastrous aftermath never happen in capitalist countries?

David Davis

The Daily Telegraph’s report here today has some breathtakingly direct quoting of aid workers’ responses, plus a grand piece of litotic understatement by the “secretary-general” (whatever that is) of the UN (whatever that may be.)

How’s this for a suggestion?

He said that it might be “prudent to focus instead on mobilising all available resources and capacity for the emergency response efforts”.

Yeah, right. And this…

The US air force was earlier reported by Thai mediators to have been granted permission to deliver aid. However, hopes of a breakthrough were quickly crushed as the permission was either withdrawn or announced prematurely.

Words fail me, and I’m a blogger-and-all.

I suppose that it’s the fault of the poor Burmese people. If, on encountering “aid workers” and “aid” (which may contain capitalist stuff, in, er coloured packing, and which may be useful) the people start to see through the wall of tyranny surrounding them, then they will have fialed their “dear leaders”, and will have to be dissolved and re-elected. I’d have air-dropped the stuff anyway. Burmese soldiers can’t confiscate, use or sell more loot than they can physically drive off with anyway, and we can just drop some more.

Perhaps the first drops should be neat bourbon. Then the real stuff can follow after the entire army is dead drunk (or dead.)

And now we have this: the stalinists in power in Burma have “seized” the first two planeloads of food. I wonder why?

David Davis

Am polishing furniture in the meantime. A whole church gotta be done for Saturday, all new pulpit, cross, lectern, organ cabinet, communion rails etc etc etc etc etc.

Just like creation, it is a “rush job” - I was only given 6 days…..

How stupid of us here, not to have thought of something as funny as that. I take our collective (ha ha) hat off to them. See my last posting about how important cruel, cutting and satirical humour is, as a seriously-edged weapon of assault against lefties.

David Davis

I can’t speak for the Libertarian Alliance’s members as a whole (and I would never presume to do so!) but we the Officers are generally persuaded that “Militant Islam” - or indeed even just plain vanilla unleaded Islam, as practised more or less harmlessly by most Moslems - is not the severe existential threat to Western Civilisation that our temporal “masters” in the, er, West thump the table about. We think they (our , er, “masters”….hurrrumph…make a suitable skeptical face here) do this in order to impose ever-more-draconian restrictions on our freedom and (worse) our thoughts and langauge in the course of, er, ordinary discourse.

Activities of this kind, by “masters”, constitute a part of the process of de-reasoning called “Political Correctness“.

The real threat to This Civilisation is really the evil scheming toads who have been through Western Universities after the Gramsco-Eagletonian march through them by the socialist left. Most of them now have political power in the West, for that was (and IS) for them the whole point of their existence. There are indeed many, shocking though it may seem to real people in real countries, who have never had what you and I would call a “job”: they have gone seamlessly into the state bureaucracy after graduating, and have ended up as bureaucrats or stuff like MPs or “representatives”. These people have been corrupted into the human equivalent of Orcs (who as Tolkien students know were all made by Morgoth and his servants, in the Image of Elves) and as God gave Man the gift of Free Will, then it’s quite apparent that these people have therefore unquestionably chosen to do Evil freely, instead of to do Good.

However, there are even some evil toads labouring under Islam. Probably not as many as we have on our side, but irritating all the same.

This was on a hat-tip from Girl on the Right (see blogroll) and explains in a good Western way what is going on in Canada right now. Humour and ridicule directed towards your enemy is the cardinal weapon of Western liberal spin and propaganda (oh yes, we must have some too - it’s only fair) against unfathomable evil, and should be used more and more.

International flights that don’t cost a thing? Books or music you don’t have to pay for? Even companies handing out cars? Traditional business is based on the certainty that everything has a price.

…but I am sure all you techies out there can either hear it directly form the link, or find some way of getting it legitimately.

ITEM:- Thanks to Tony. This above link works! (See his comment below.) But I feel short-changed after all as it is only the keywords from sort of “let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties….” etc. I really wanted the whole thing which I am sure exists somewhere. Anybody out there in the commentariat who can help us here?

As a scientist, I liked the bit about the life of the World moving into the “broad sunlit uplands”, and not being illuminated by the “Lights Of Perverted Science” - I am sure Churchill would have been appalled, had he lived to be 140 or so, by what’s currently going on to pervert Man’s knowledge of, and views about the future of, planetary climate trends.

I should point out that nobody ought to think of us as “getting at” the German people in this matter. The poor buggers were cleverly brutalised under the thumb of a clever leftist madman with no regard for the relaity of human relationships; you could say the same about us under either Tony Blair or Gordon Brown - or, if in London, under the saddo leftist pig Ken Livingstone.

The point is that I believe, and I think Churchill knew, that “English civilisation”, at that time and still yet now broadly encompassed by the Anglosphere, was the actual midwife to the spirit of liberalism, and therefore also Libertarianism; a term he would not have known then, but of which he would have instantly recognised the meaning.
