Listening to interviews with Ballymena residents, several things are clear, and should alarm anyone hoping for a peaceful summer in the UK:
1. Locals tried to resolve their concerns around child safety by engaging with the democratic process and were ignored or dismissed as “racist” (this pattern is still evident);
2. The huge turnout for the protests meant authorities were powerless to stop locals targeting the homes of suspected troublemakers;
3. Rioting on subsequent nights sucked in “recreational” rioters who just want to cause havoc, escalating the situation;
4. The locals know that they’ll likely be identified and face stiff prison sentences, but consider that a risk worth taking to keep their children safe;
5. The media and establishment are still obfuscating (reports of attacks on “Bulgarians” and “Romanians” - this is “Welsh choirboy” level).
This is a microcosm of Britain. The establishment has resolutely refused to listen to people’s concerns, hoping that it can just keep shouting “racist” as it imports huge amounts of men from alien, medieval, misogynist cultures and dumps them on people who haven’t asked for them.
Now Ballymena has shown that a united community can very effectively remove people. Everyone in Britain can see this.
Everyone on the left who hoped they could use forced multiculturalism to break down the nation state and painlessly transition Britain to a communist utopia is about to learn the lessons of Lebanon, Syria and the Balkans.
We’re on a knife edge. As a matter of national emergency, vulnerable migrant populations should be moved to the houses of left-wing people, and shipping container housing put in streets that vote Labour/Green/LibDem. All pro-immigration people should have their front doors removed and their addresses handed to the men getting off the boats at Dover.
The lefties will enjoy being enriched, and tensions will be defused in the communities who already consider themselves sufficiently rich. Everyone will enjoy the consequences of their own political opinions.
Because otherwise - pray there won’t be, but if there’s another Welsh choirboy this summer - civil war could be a lot closer than we thought.
Listen to this mother. Does she sound like a "far-right extremist" to you? Sounds like someone worried about her kids to me.
This Ballymena resident specifically mentions that talking to politicians "does no good". All this violence was avoidable if politicians did what people wanted.
(If Southport is any guide, this man will be arrested under one of the numerous "opinion we don't like" laws, and I urge him to plead not guilty)
There's a full blown genocide taking place right now in Syria, with Islamist fighters slaughtering Christian and Alawite civilians.
I've seen piles of bodies, groups being machine gunned, women, kids. Horrific.
Silence in the world media because it's Muslims killing Christians.
Here's the leader of the Syrian Islamists having his reputation laundered and given legitimacy recently by Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart for their podcast "The Rest Is Politics", which is popular with leftoid dunces who think Islamism is great.
I swear every time Alastair looks at a map of the Middle East, another group of people gets slaughtered
Thousands of Christian and Alawite civilians are seeking refuge in a Russian military base in Syria. The Islamists are threatening to overrun the Russian base.
Fuck me you'd think they'd met Nelson Mandela, not a genocidal Islamist
Some antivaxers are so thick, channelling all that middle aged divorced rage into maximum stupidity. I interviewed the great Matt Le Tissier on GB News yesterday to give him a platform for his legitimate questioning of the vaccine. Ofcom regulations mean I have to provide (1/2)
(2/2) balance & play devil's (govt's?) advocate, so I queried Matt's stance (also questioning & justifying a point makes it stronger). It was great to have Matt on.
The response from antivaxers? "WAH YOU'RE A GOVT SHILL"
They're literally furious that their views got airtime.
So anyway now I'm 100% in favour of lockdowns, masks, vaccines and daily boosters, but only for angry antivaxers who are still fighting lockdown like a Japanese soldier in the jungle in 1974 who still thinks the war is going on.
A Live Comedy Association rep defamed me as racist on Twitter (purely because I've voted Tory). It cost me work. Instead of deleting the tweet, the LCA sent me this letter confirming I'm not racist. It's as much use as a babysitter having a letter confirming they're not a paedo
Full story: A couple of weeks ago, I appeared on the Today show on BBC Radio 4 to talk about the lack of working class and right wing representation in BBC comedy, which draws a disproportionate amount of its talent from a small pool of privately educated Russell group graduates
(Russell is a category of university as well as comedian; ironically the Russell comedians had more plebian educations).
As a live comedian, my industry representation is the Live Comedy Association (LCA). Their Representation and Inclusion rep, Saima Ferdows, might reasonably be
Scotland's new Hate Crime Bill could criminalise comedians. Any "insulting communications liable to stir up hatred" - whatever that means, and however it's interpreted - will be illegal. It's so hazily worded, it's a pick-your-own law for politicians.
2/4 There doesn't need to be a victim, anyone can be offended by proxy on behalf of vaguely defined groups, and the Govt can add to the list of groups as they wish. No jokes that mention women, Catholic priests, French people - everything is potentially prosecutable.
3/4 And it's not just the comedian making the joke who'll be at risk - promoters, venues, directors can all be prosecuted over what the comedian says, piling on layers of self-censorship. Even me criticising this bill could be interpreted as an insulting communication designed
