The Left's War on Nostalgia

I saw this photo recently that evoked "dark nationalist feelings" in my soul. Its location, which I managed to find with a reverse image search, is Grays in Essex, a place I lived in for about three months in the early nineties and considered the most depressing place I had ever seen, and that was largely pre-diversity. The photo, taken in 1960, of a parade of shops that I'd estimate to have been built sometime in the 1930s is a snapshot of a very different England than we are being subjected to today. It is a photo of a well-ordered society, of a clean street with no litter. The only street furniture is a traditional red telephone box. No yellow lines hinder the owners of the four beautiful, British-made cars. The parade of shops itself is simply wonderful to my eye. All the shop fronts are original, and the signs are wooden, presumably hand-made and not plastic. They show British names: Cooper, Green, and Smith. Even the newsagent is run not by a Mr Patel, but by

The Flight of the Tarquins

It's good to keep an eye on your enemies, and it was with that in mind that I sullied myself perusing The Guardian, where I stumbled across this little gem in the Lifestyle section - the place to go if you have money to burn and an emptiness in your soul that needs filling with the finest quality Larp. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/03/the-rise-of-woodland-off-gridders-it-makes-more-sense-than-a-nine-to-five?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB It tells the story of a bunch of awful white supremacists who have rejected the urban diversity and fantastic range of three-in-one kebab, fried chicken and pizza shops to live "off-grid", or should that be " off-groid " doing traditional stuff like chopping wood and growing carrots with their blond-haired, blue-eyed children. Pure evil. How could they? Well, it turns out that it's all ok, and there's no need to start hyperventilating about fascist ethno-villages because it turns out that th

War Nerdery Part 2 - Kerch Bridge.

This was going to be an effort comment. Lets make it an effort post instead. Furthermore , our esteemed host, Mr Badger informs me that Monday - 17 July - was the first anniversary of TCT. Happy Birthday to us all! Anyway, where was I? Looks like the Kerch Bridge has been attacked again: My armchair warrior take - it's another Spectacular™. Like many others carried out by Ukraine. A showy but ultimately empty gesture geared toward (((MSM))) dissemination and hysteria. Magnified via (((YT))) and the other platforms, allowing the bloodthisty midwits and hasbara gatekeepers to get themselves worked up into a lather. Ukraine is winning! Russia is losing! Just like every other day of the war so far. But more so. The bridge is said to be vital for Russian logistics. I take this to mean it's a make or break factor in Russian operations in Ukraine and Crimea. Without it, their position in the peninsular and mainland would be untenable. I assume this to mean two slightly different t
