Some people from the UK on Twitter have the EU flag, Ukrainian flag, Palestinian flag, Soviet communist flag, LGBT flag, BLM flag, etc. Yet if someone else has the UK flag they mock them and call them flag sh+ggers, odd that.
The Peckham incident - was another case of black entitlement. The woman attacked the shopkeeper after being denied a refund. She tried to walk out with a handful of goods - and eventually, after being assaulted by the woman - the shop keeper had to restrain her - which is not allowed according to the rules of black entitlement. And, we know who was the villain in the city bike incident. The boy wanted to take advantage of a cheaper rate. Something to do with bikes being eft unused. When the nurse hired the bike he pretended it was he who hired it. But she had the proof in receipt form on her phone. Meanwhile The deception cost her reputation, she was vilified on international TV, as a white entitled Karen - and she almost lost her job. She was suspended, but when it was clear who the liar was (the boy), she was reinstated. Anyone who lives in London knows about pulling-up black people over their behaviour --- do it if you dare.
The transgender issue could easily be solved if the government would finally forbid none-government agencies swanning into schools and promoting this ideology. NGOs should be scaled down on a hole level of subjects. Nobody has voted them into power, so why do they seem to have so much of it?
There are a plethora of these creepy middle-men jobs. I'd compare it to changes in the Arts a few decades back. Lots of private school kids were adviced to go into adjacent professions like valuation and arts administration. Similarly, with business, where you have all these ESG roles. They might know a bit about business, but not enough to actually run a business. And wtf is a sensitivity reader? Some sort of frustrated writer? Or someone who couldn't find a job in mainstream editing or publishing? We need to pay attention, and stop finding jobs for the worst sorts of people.
What amazes me is how obsessed these people are with a trading bloc. Some accounts on Twitter have literally spent every day of the last 7 years crying and arguing about brexit. I genuinely feel sorry for them.
to me, they have incredibly fragile egos, or have no empathy or character. Being part of an elite club, gives them what they need. They want to feel superior & special at any cost. You’re correct, it’s really sad & pathetic but hey, what can you do, they don’t see how silly they 👀 😢 ?
The horrible working class rose up & slapped them in their privileged faces & they haven't stopped crying yet. Boy, how they despise the great unwashed. 😢
I am noticing multiple channels starting up saying how bad Brexit is , with British people either saying we must be punished for leaving before being let back in or not allowed back in at all. The push to get us to rejoin is gathering pace but only in their minds , I see no interest in the normal people for a return.
Tom Slater has it about these people. I'd say they were 'comfortable' people, in need of a cause, & who need to be seen as broad-minded by their peer-set, & so they're so busy looking outwards, that their contempt for the familiar - other Brits & their neighbours, are the butts' of their jokes & provide the contrast to their basic smug narcissism & 'local' prejudices.
Not all people who voted to remain are ideologues... im a uk citizen who lives and works on the continent, and it was a matter of pure self-interest that i voted remain, and would vote the same way if another referendum were held tomorrow. I am vehemently opposed to any number of EU policies, but i don't see that Brexit has fulfilled its promise to restore accountability in government. I have settled permanently in Poland, which is still a member state, and yet pursues domestic policies that are much closer to those desired by supporters of Brexit. The pressure put on the Brussels bureaucracy by the Polish, Italian, and Hungarian governments from within the Union is a much more effective counterweight to the European globalist agenda than an administratively irrelevant Westminster government that is running in parallel from offshore.
Remainers always remind me of Rolf from the Sound of Music, "Vee are no longer Austrians, vee are Europeans". And nobody wants to be Rolf from the Sound of Music.
The best thing about Brexit is, it has brought the bourgeois liberal left hatred of the working class out in the open. This class hatred (long hidden) has always been there. George Orwell wrote about it, as far back as the 1930s, in “the road to Wigan pier”.
Many "outed" themselves as much as they were outed. Others remind me of the person who is gay, everyone around him knows it but he is the last person to figure it out. Remoaners are now out and proud, I think it is a huge relief that they don't have to pretend anymore.
"Parasitic merchants operating in our community" meaning hard working and entrepreneurial people from a different immigrant group who have had the wherewithal and dedication to set up a business. They contrast with others who display entitled attitudes and seek to blame others for their failings. It's funny how "institutional racism" didn't hold back the Ugandan Asians or the Indians who became our captains of industry and political leaders. Recent African immigrants from countries like Nigeria don't seem to have had problems building successful lives in the UK.
And yet Spiked never confronts the raw truth in that the majority of native Brits never wanted or voted for this “diverse society” where we are clearly being made a minority against our wishes.
It reminds me of the current Horrible Histories BBC childrens tv programme which espouses the view that (for instance) Cheddar Man was black. This was completely and utterly debunked, but as Wikipaedia hasn't been updated it must be true. Narrative trumps truth. I voted for Brexit because politics in the UK had essentially created - as someone has recently categorised - a Uni-Party. I felt that I had no-one to vote for any more and the Brexit vote was my act of rebellion, though I had no more love for the EU than I do for any of the mainstream political parties in the UK. Brexit was an opportunity that was wasted regardless of the so-called benefits that we have so far seen.
I had a lot of the same reservations about Democracy and the EU. I did vote Remain, for the purpose of being part of an economic and political block that would stand up to Russia. The problem for Remoaners is that at no point did it occur to me to ask a middle-class person how they thought I should use MY vote. Why would I? They're irrelevant, and that's why they're eating their hearts out. The CRT campaigns are further interference with the realisation that this is OUR country, and Democracies are supposed to express the will of majorities.
One of the big errors of Brexit was the idea that the problems associated with immigration could be addressed by being outside of the EU. Many EU nations are having conversations about immigration. Clearly an EU-wide solution is needed.
In the case of the 'Citi Bike Karen', the receipts are in, the teenaged boys lied and assaulted her. This is not up for conjecture now. The pregnant woman involved, who had just finished a twelve hour shift, has had her identity exposed and has faced racial abuse, death threats etc. The teenaged boys who surrounded her, intimidated her, assaulted her, forced the bike she'd just hired back into the docking station, thus re-locking it etc. have NOT had their identities exposed. Spiked really need to stop sitting on the fence on these issues and actually report them accurately.
But, frankly, did the UK really leave? Over the pandemic, mandates were uniform. Mandates by the way, are to blame for the artificially engineered economic hardships.
For remoaners it is an extreme, unreasoning form of patriotism, but European rather than British patriotism. Of course none of them would admit that, possibly because they don't themselves understand what patriotic feeling is, but I've no doubt that that is what it is.
The rejoiners don't worry me too much, they can cosy up to the EU, but so long as we are out there remains an opportunity for a future government to actually make use of our freedom in a positive way. Even without that the gap opens naturally, and every passing year makes rejoining a harder sell. It's easy to blame every problem on Brexit but persuading people to pay the inflated membership fee, join the Euro, underwrite the EUs borrowing which they then use as leverage on us, do as we say or you won't get anything from the pot. The lost and they aren't winning, remember that by the end of the seventies people wanted out by 3 to 1, having voted 2 to 1 to stay in five years before. Polls are fickle.
Tom is correct. Populism is alive and kicking. Ulez Bladerunners and the pubkic support for them tells you all you need tp kmow. Alternative to the Uniparty desperately needed. PR omly way forward now.
We need to vote for Reform UK. FPTP makes it difficult for new parties to gain traction, but it isn't impossible. The higher the votes they get at the next election the more attention they will get and the bigger their platform. By 2029 when Labour have been a bigger disaster than the Tories maybe the country will be ready for real change.
Say what you want about the constantly offended peckaham protesters, they have in grpup prefernces and defend theor own, no matter how dumb their actions
@pincermovement72 not really. I've had a fantastic life, full of adventure, travels and challenges. I don't know anyone else who hitchhiked from Kabul to Munich when they were only 22. Lived in Trinidad and caught shark for a living. Lived in the Indian Himalayas in a remote house with no water or electricity, had to walk 7 ks to nearest village for supplies as there was no road. And this is just a few of my life experiences.
Brexiters are also boring with their "they won't stop moaning". Their project is on the line and a lot will depend on how the EU rebounds between now and 2030. The UK is a mess partly due to Brexit, which they never will admit. Time will tell
Nope ... if we're in a mess then the Covid pandemic, the Ukranian War and Woke 'luvvies' with their diversity, inclusion and lowering of standards are top of the list. Germany is practically in recession and the EU is in an economic mess but don't let facts get in the way of a 'good' story.
I agree with Spiked on many issues but you are dead wrong if you think Brexit was a good idea. The British pound is worth faff all compared to what it used to be before Brexit.
@@manchegocheese997 If that is the case, then the pound should be worth a similar amount to the Euro or dollar now as compared to before Brexit. That is not the case. Brexit is an additional pressure keeping the value of the pound down.
If this is a metric that you regard as all important, in the last five years the Pound has risen against the Euro by 3.5%. Yes, since 2015 the GBP has fallen against the Euro, but if you check the figures you'll see that the bulk of its fall occurred at the Euro's inception around 2000 when the UK was still in the EU. Are you effectively saying that EU membership was bad for the UK then, particularly at the turn of the 21st Century?
@@gerhard7323 Sterling took a nose dive after the Brexit vote. It might not be important to you but for anyone who goes abroad, the strength of the pound was a huge advantage.
@@tombarry2523 I've acknowledged that. It's now up 3.5% in the last five years. Is that because of or in spite of Brexit would you posit? By the same token was its precipitous fall at the inception of the single currency whilst the UK was in the EU a good or a bad thing in your opinion or just 'meh'?
This is going to sound sycophantic.....BUT! almost all of the core team a Spiked seem to have brains the size of Nebraska, Tom's comments about remoaners is absolutely out of the top draw.👍👍
