Charles Dickens had a “social conscience” and wrote of the times in which he lived. The enduring appeal of Dickens is that so much of what he wrote is still (in a different form) valid today.
The above images from “Our Mutual Friend” where Mr Riah (a Jew) is scolded by Jenny Wren for harshness that was directed by Riah’s employer Mr Fascination Fledgeby – who is standing apart from the interaction.
Giving dogs bad names appears to be the aim of a number of “woke” charities including the National Trust, the RSPCA and World Wildlife Fund (https://dailysceptic.org/2024/02/07/british-countryside-is-a-racist-and-colonial-white-space-national-trust-rspca-and-wwf-tell-mps/).
To my certain knowledge a local lady will agree with these woke charities! I will not name her, but she is a middle class, university educated, well spoken lady originally from the Home Counties. From time to time (which includes yesterday afternoon) she stands in the Market Square in St. Just with a placard which states “White Silence is White Violence”.
This lady is of the opinion that if you are (like her) “white”, then you possess “original racism” which is akin to “original sin” which means perforce that you must continually atone for your inherent “white privilege” by being racist – not against persons of “non white” African or Asian heritage, but against members of your own heritage/ethnic group.
This is a form of self flagellation. Self flagellation is something that is practised by some religious adherents. Some Shia Muslims famously practise this but they are not alone. Some Christians (Roman Catholics) in the Philippines famously volunteer for actual crucifixion on Good Friday.
Nails are driven through their palms and into their feet and they are hoisted up. They are soon taken down to avoid asphyxiation of course! Below is a certain Mr Ruben Enaje who has endured this voluntary torture many times.
The above scene is of Mr Enaje’s 34th crucifixion in 2023!
Of course, people such our oh so woke lady with the placard have a very low opinion of people like me and of her fellow white people who feel no guilt or concern and therefore do not feel the need to apologise about being “white”.
Of course, the assault on rural dwelling white Britons is broader than this. We rural dwelling white Britons will be particularly affected if our overly pliant (to the WEF) mainstream politicians adopt the same measures as the EU forcing 15 year old plus cars off the road by making it illegal to make major repairs on them!
Clearly this move is inspired by some manufacturers who want to create demand for their products. By forcing through legislation mandating the scrapping of older cars, they create demand for their products.
The news of the EU’s intentions towards old cars has been entertainingly announced on YouTube by a video made by a certain Mr Geoff Thompson whose YouTube channel “Geoff Buys Cars” is both entertaining and informative.
The near future for these benighted islands appears bleak!
That Sir Keir Starmer will find himself in #10 Downing Street with a majority of monumental proportions appears to be a racing certainty!
If Sir Keir does what such as Mr Ed Miliband (and members of the World Economic Forum and the EU’s car manufacturers) desires and adopts a policy of forcing ordinary people to give up car ownership many of them will become very annoyed!
Of course those with shareholdings in the providers of bus services and the railway companies will be pleased as the millions forced off the roads will be forced to use public transport. Not to mention the many taxi and mini-cab drivers many of whom are from a community that consistently votes Labour!
Of course, those rich people who can easily afford new electric cars will also be pleased to see the UK’s roads return to the 1950s insofar as road use is concerned!
This also applies of course to air travel! One of my favourite movies is “The V.I.P.s” (also known as Hotel International) made in 1963. Back then air travel was largely the preserve of the affluent and the perceived glamour is encapsulated in the characters in the film. You see, those who control the aforementioned woke charities and such as Sir Keir Starmer might long for the return to the days when air travel was the exclusive preserve of the rich and powerful – and glamourous.
To many rich people it must very very annoying to turn up at an airport to see hoards of the “hoi polloi” wearing casual clothes in the public areas! They must yearn for the glamour and style of when airliners had to fly via Shannon in Ireland and Gander in Newfoundland – as they may well have to in the future.
These rich folks might also yearn for the return to the time when foreign holidays were a preserve for them. There may be many rich folks who think it ghastly that the “hoi polloi” get to travel to the Mediterranean and sunbathe in large numbers and crowd the streets that in the 1950s were happily (for the rich) free of the British “hoi polloi”!
Clearly however such as Sir Keir and Lady Starmer and Mr Ed Miliband will be welcomed – for these two men will have helped bring this new state of affairs about!!!!
