Anytime now and UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer will declare war somewhere, in order to try and restore popularity. He could always stand down or call an election, of course, but either is unlikely to happen.

I wonder why the UK government is buying mass fatality resilience capability, aka transportable morgues?
Does the UK government have something planned?
The last time Britain was bailed out by the IMF was in 1976. Talk is now of another bailout looming as the net public debt to GDP measure is worse now than back in 1976.
To back this view up, have a look at the following graph forecasting the position vs Japan. The latter has by far the worse position at over 200% net public debt to GDP, but it still has large industries that can sustain that level of debt, while Britain only has a service sector, some manufacturing and finance. The latter is akin to moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic. And countries like Malaysia make as many cars as Britain does (not quite), while also producing more componentry.

However, these forecasts, measured on the above graph by a dotted line, have proven illusory. The position Britain finds itself in is as follows.

If the IMF do provide a bailout, spending cuts will be mandated. These cuts in spending will be massive.
Some are saying this is all planned. The collapse is to bring the post Brexit country down.
Matt Taibbi has proven to be a reliable reporter, and he says arrests are coming following the search warrant executed on John Bolton's house.
The CPI is corrupted, and the developed world has been in decline for a long time.
We are headed for a future world where you will own nothing, but you'll think you do own something. This is what is behind the trend to digitise everything. In achieving this goal, your access to the internet will be restricted and governed by your real ID. Then all your finances will be restricted too, your money will be the equivalent of tokens, with an expiry date that can be changed on a whim.
This trend is already well advanced, called online safety or some such nonsense. There to protect the children don't you know. But, it is about control.
Governments used to inflate your savings away. Inflation covers up many crimes. But now governments worldwide are coordinating efforts to control everything, even your health.
Listening to this you Boomers, always voting for the same uni-parties? They're coming after your money, so, what are you doing to prevent it?
New Zealand has the incredible ability to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. With food prices rising worldwide, what does the world's largest dairy exporter go and do? They sell off their main brands and go back to being commodity suppliers only.
What they've sold off are the Anchor milk and Mainland cheese brands worldwide. These brands are well known for quality, for instance, in Sri Lanka, population 22 million, milk is called Anchor. They don't say have a glass of milk, they say Anchor.
The thinking of NZ company senior management never rises above what junior high school students would think of, and talking dunce of the class at that, not clever clogs.
What would Coca-Cola do? They'd sell off or franchise their processors and bottling, they'd never sell off their main brands.
Here's a quick primer on Coca-Cola's distribution model: https://fourweekmba.com/coca-cola-business-strategy
These are Fonterra's plans: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/570728/fonterra-sells-mainland-anchor-brands-to-french-food-giant
Why is this a stupid move by Fonterra? In a few years, the new owner could put any milk in those Anchor bottles. Likely, it will be highly subsidised EU milk. The NZ dairy farmer will have their own production impacted, their reputation damaged if the milk is no good as consumers equate NZ milk with these brands, and to compete they'll have to recreate brands all over again, starting from scratch.
Rule 1: Always keep the brand, sell off or licence production.
Fonterra are breaking rule number 1.
Very important this - the jab must be stopped now. See my useful links page for other links to studies on the thing we cannot talk about >>>>>
New Zealand is planning to change the way road use is paid for. Currently, most vehicle users pay a fuel tax when they buy their fuel. This tax is applied whether intending to use the fuel while using the road, or at home, on the water or on the farm.
Meanwhile, diesel, hybrid and EV users pay Road User Charges (RUC's) on their mileage.
What is proposed is a system whereby each car will be tracked, and mileage paid via a GPS connection. Obvious issues arise when it comes to people driving off road, on farms and the like. Also, people buying fuel for their lawnmower or home generator will no longer be subsidising car use, and so more will need to be charged to car users to make up the difference.
Simon Kingham, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Canterbury wrote a delusional piece where he's convinced himself the proposed measure will save lives. It won't, because fuel will be cheaper if you don't register your car. Even now, in rural areas, car registration non-compliance is at record highs. In some provinces, as many as 60% of cars are not registered, and, therefore, do not have a current Warrant of Fitness (WOF). The proposal is an added incentive to NOT obtain a WOF, leading to cars being less safe, with more cars having dodgy brakes and bald tyres. How will this lead to more deaths - reading this Prof Kingham? Most road deaths occur on rural roads, outside of cities, that's why.
But, it doesn't end there, as this is not about taxing more efficiently. In fact, what is proposed is far less efficient. It is about selling off the roads to private enterprise. The government need to do this to pay off its debts. That's right, they're going to privatise RUC's and to do this they need to move the revenue from road use over to a separate platform and away from the government.
Author of the Dog and Lemon Guide, Clive Matthew-Wilson explained what is going on (see below). Stand up to this as it is the thin edge of the wedge. After they've sold the roads, they'll disappear your Kiwisaver, and then go cashless. Mark my words.
In my opinion the two best car racing movies are Grand Prix (1966) and Le Mans (1971).
I had never seen one of these flying before today. It is good to see these old warbirds being restored, their sound is amazing.
People don't seem to connect the dots, but the following videos are connected and I'll explain what I think is going on.
People are living in cars, storage units, sheds, caravans, RV's, tents while they're still fully employed. They are forced to do this as they cannot afford rents and the overall cost of living. This is planned by the powers that be.
Firstly, tariffs are an effective tax on the people. When Donald Trump says trillions are flooding into the government coffers, he's not wrong, they are, with YOUR money. Importers pay those tariffs and then raise prices. When Trump says the exporting country is paying, he's being misleading. All that happens to the exporter is they may sell less to the US, but they don't pay anything at all.
These people are hurting, because they're being taxed to the max.
Secondly, the next stage will be the full digitising of boomer wealth. Thus, their children will inherit tokens which can be cancelled or directed any which way. You'll still own these 'assets' but have lost control.
The sad news is, people support MAGA because this seizure of assets is being sold as patriotic. It is all a lie, just like the thing in 2020 was for your safety.
The argument used here also applies to New Zealand. In the not-too-distant future, we will own nothing, and be left renting all that we used to own.
For some reason this song popped up in my head as Trump met with Putin in Alaska:
Graham Linehan gave us Father Ted, the TV comedy character. The are you a racist now Father clip has started to take over YouTube recently, which has surprised many well used to it. I guess many younger people still do possess a sense of humour.
Brendon O'Neill talks to Linehan about the future of Britain, and whether it has any future at all.
David Betz is Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London. He has described the UK as on the brink of civil war. Now, he seems to have become more pessimistic, he appears to now think it's inevitable. Thus far, his predictions have been accurate, so buckle up, this is going to be a rough ride.
I operate this blog as a personal interest, but I do note where people are from and how many visit. Some people email me, but very few comment. If leaving a comment, they are welcome so long as you're not overtly selling something. It also helps if you're sane - just saying.
Over time a trend has emerged, and that trend reveals certain subjects are smashed by Google almost immediately. Of course, I ignore this and don't simply chase clicks. I post about things that interest me, and other things I think important to be informed of, or which offer a perspective I find valuable.
Below, you'll find a list of what is banned. Having compared notes with others, I'm certain this doesn't just apply to this blog, but is part of a widespread framework.
Initially, it was hard to discern what subjects were on the banned list, but over time the pattern became very clear. I may have missed some themes, but top of the list would be, in order:
