racist elon musk and his racist father

If you wonder why Elon Musk is a racist, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Here's a few of his fathers racist views that he has no problem sharing ("and Elon feels the same"). Unfortunately, with Elon's money and platforms, he's spreading the hatred in a way that has never been possible before, and reaching millions of people (and with targeted messages). Full article is here.

the new banksy and the clean up

 Despite the fact that the right are trying to claim it's representing them being oppressed (I think it's the law coming down on the Palestinian Action protesters), l actually like the cleaned up version of Banksy's as well.  The ghostly aftermath has a lot going for it. More please.

the best of british down in that london

Our once great nation salutes and supports these brave patriots (including people l know), protecting our women and children, and keeping our streets safe. Fine upstanding citizens, one and all. Being proud of them fails to articulate just how l feel. I could weep at the sight of it. I hope the two tier police force prevent the left wing agitators causing any trouble later on, as that's just the sort of response l expect from them if they don't get their woke way. If so, lock 'em all up with the Palestine Action terrorists and throw away the key. Let's make Britain Great Again!

Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes and the Groypers

This all obviously sounds insane, but welcome to today's wonderful modern world. I love the internet but it has many many flaws, one of which is making dividing people and promoting extreme views a lot easier and harder to control. Tyler Robinson may have other motives for the shooting, so this is still speculation, but it is still very worrying that this sort of extremism is on the rise. Whatever happened to Peace Love and Understanding?

Here's an article about Nick Fuentes from 2021 (updated 2025). He's not a very nice man.

top of the bill cool kid (1971)

 While watching a short documentary from 1971 called 'Top of the Bill' about the old music halls and performers (as you do), this young gentleman was interviewed. I'll admit l though he was a lady at first, but let's have a return to the days when people dressed as individuals and wore outlandish garments.  Well played young man, and l hope he is still alive and still enjoying life.

boris johnson on charlie kirk

 Just when you think Boris Johnson can't stoop much lower for a bit more money and publicity, here he  is on the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and his common sense / reasonable opinions as a shining martyr. I don't want anyone shot, but Charlie Kirk was a right wing racist bigmouth with a huge media platform, stirring up hatred and division, and to normalise his views in any way shape or form makes the world a much more dangerous place, which l suspect Johnson probably knows, but when did his honour or (lack of) principals ever get in the way of him exploiting a tragedy. See further down for Charlie Kirk's views, and in a Boris link, don't buy The Sun.

Makes you proud to be British (not). Haven't the roundabout painting flag shaggers got anything better to do? Don't forget that nearly half of them arrested at recent protests had previous convictions for domestic violence, but let's face it, that wasn't unexpected news.

I hope this is real, and if not - it should be. I think many in the Trump camp want people to become sick and ultimately die, as they look upon them as weak and of no benefit to their planned AI driven fascist society, and  l include the old and disabled. There will be too many people for too few jobs, and if you can't be productive, they would happily see you off to save money and stop any civil unrest. And they have the cheek to call themselves Christians.

spray painting flags and the dragon house chinese takeaway, york.

This is where the spray painting leads.  Let's face it, it's not about pride in the country but demonstrating to 'illegals' that they are not welcome, all fanned by the usual suspects of the right wing press, lying Farage, and the complicity of the news channels, giving all of the above so much air time when other much more well attended gatherings and marches are ignored, Farage is never robustly challenged and his every utterance is treated like a sermon from the mount, and the other opposition parties with many more members of parliament are ignored. Where's all the 'concerned citizens' protests against Chinese, Australian, American or Ukrainian immigrants? The rich backers know how to stoke division and hatred so they can gain power and abolish laws and rights that will benefit them, at the expense of most of the dickheads who are currently doing the painting. No wonder l drink.

However, there are also many, many decent people out there, it's just that their voices are not heard enough. Well played Crystal Clean Windows also of York.
