Evening, I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
This is the type of thing that should be openly available for all aspects of how the State is run, queryable on demand by any interested member of the public. If you’d like to take a look it’s here. This is obviously a very basic version of the type of dashboard we’ve spoken about here and on Horizon Scan, but it gets the message across. Much of the court system just isn’t bothering to do the job its paid to do and in some cases is enabled to act in this way by rules set by previous governments, not repealed. The people behind this website and similar investigations on law and crime in this country and connected to the tech/accelerationist group that Dom Cummings has been a part of nurturing. The intention I’m sure is providing the T(ech) part of the UK version of MAGA, unfortunately it doesn’t have a political party to attach itself to yet, though I’m sure connections in the US will want it bolted on to Reform, who knows what DC thinks about that, I doubt he’d be keen. But then he wasn’t keen on Borris or the Tories, if he gets his part of the train set and is left alone, maybe he’d consider it. This is basically the Elon path but without the billions.
I’m pretty sure I’m part of the last generation where aspects of war were quite fun, even the sketchy bits. We’re basically at the point now where large scale human combatant conflicts are just going to be a bloodbath. We’re seen glimpses of this in Ukraine, but none of that is to scale. Imagine (I say imagine..) you can ring fence an area of operation for a drone swarm and tell it to destroy all humans in the area that aren’t marked in a specific way, some kind of tracker. Then you just push a button. They’ll be 90% dead, it’s cost you probably less than one small tank and you’ve got no casualties yourself. One thing to think about though, once we have precedent for this kind of warfare at scale, it’d start to raise questions about the use of troops and old style fighting in general, much more than it does now. ‘Sir, there’s a thousand jihadis driving across the desert to attack X thing that’s really important to us’ - ‘OK, drone swarm them’. DEAD. If you’re not spending relative pennies destroying the thing you’ve been portraying as an existential threat, then why not? Do they serve a larger purpose? Are you not destroying and perhaps enabling threats for another reason entirely? If you’re God and you don’t destroy the devil, why haven’t you?
Rupert is the best current purveyor of sadness for The Scroll. I don’t even know what’s going on here, you’ve got to assume that those being housed are illegal immigrants in the first place and have just been transported from a prison where we pay for them to live, over to a hotel where we pay for them to live too but in nicer conditions? Otherwise it makes no sense at all.
This is the type of mong you’re dealing with though. No Kev, I’d like them deported seeing as I can’t blend them. I saw a fun video yesterday of Polish border guards just chucking people back through a gate in their fence. It’s be nice to have a system like that, but I suppose that would just mean dropping people off the cliffs at Dover.
This is fine, yeah? Obvious that this is to do with something I spoke about a few weeks back concerning the boundaries for local council elections. Labour are well aware that Reform are in the ascendance and that some Labour run councils will likely be lost to them at the first opportunity, particularly less metropolitan ones. Note that it’s probable that some Conservative councils will happily work with Labour to enable these delays, seeing as they’re just as likely to lose to Reform. We’ll know if we’re right when the list of proposed effected councils drops in February. The idea is that you take these smaller councils under control of larger more metropolitan areas that you’re more likely to hold and so keep power, whilst making it more difficult for those rural folks to have a say in local issues. Sketchy times indeed, but this ties into what I was saying on Friday about the differences in those on the left and the right, or the closest thing we have to the right in this country. The left always play to win, for them it’s an existential fight, for the mainstream political right it’s always been more of a game designed to return to the status quo. Take the baton of power off the left after they’ve had their turn and then just sit there. Whereas the left get power and start doing things to cement their position and build the world they want - it’s dogshit obviously, but they understand the stakes of the situation.
Reform are leaning in to this because it portrays Farage as something he’s familiar with and knows how to deal with, the disrupting outsider. It’s important that his supporters see him as being the one attacked, the one hard done to, the man against the system, instead of what it’s obvious he is - a man of the system playing a role to help a self referred vital part of the political system in the UK, shape shift and survive. This trial has come at an opportune time for Farage as it allows him to focus on his strengths and draw attention away from the Tory skin-suiting noticoors. Has a familiar feeling doesn’t it? They’re literally going to try and run the same play in the UK as has just worked in the US, you’re even seeing elements of Labour chucking out the ‘threat to democracy’ line. All rather theatrical isn’t it?
This has happened purely by chance. It is not a deliberate attempt to draw attention away from any news reporting on these trials. That turd Labour councillor Ricky Jones who wanted to slit the throats of right wingers has his trial on that date too. As I said previously, the left play to win and they don’t give a fuck what you think about it. The only reason they always lose in the end is because their views can only hold on for so long in the face of reality before they collapse in an often bloody mess. If they actually had good ideas, the right wouldn’t stand a chance.
A bit of fun to end with, enjoy your evening, it’s whole new week!
