the British are mad. Not just mad as in bonkers, they’re very angry. If you don’t know what I’m talking about. The X post below might explain some of it.
I was watching the BBC coverage this morning and I had to switch it off. The amount of gas lighting from the government and the police was off the charts. This will happen elsewhere because Commonwealth countries have lost their way. It’s already happened in Australia.
How in fuck’s name can these people walk around with knives when everyone else can’t even own a machete to cut vegetation in their own back yard? It’s insane, but that’s progressivism for ya. It’s a death cult. In the UK you can’t buy a fork without an ID, yet they let certain individuals stroll about as a protected class with knives because of “religious” reasons?
What does Eric Clapton have to say about this I wonder? Clapton famously said at a concert in 1976 “This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck’s sake?” I won’t post the full rant here, but Eric has since apologized for what he said was a joke and that he was heavily intoxicated at the time.
Apparently as a result of Eric’s outburst, the organization “Rock Against Racism was formed. “Originally conceived as a one-off concert with a message against racism, Rock Against Racism was founded in 1976 by Red Saunders, Roger Huddle, Jo Wreford, Pete Bruno and others.” According to Huddle, “it remained just an idea until August 1976″, when Eric Clapton made a declaration of support for former Conservative minister Enoch Powell.”

Part of what Eric said was..”I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. Keep Britain white!”
Sounds extreme but this happened 50 years ago, and look at where we are today. Really makes you think. I can totally see the same kind organization with opposing views being formed in today’s political climate. That’s how the pendulum swings.
11 officers were hurt? What about the bloke that died?
At least we have Rock Against Racism to protect the protected class from the very bad white people. Actually we don’t any more, it disbanded in 1982. There was more controversy however before that happened, because around the same time that Clapton had drunkenly spoken out, David Bowie also made inflammatory statements, expressing support for fascism and admiration for Adolf Hitler in interviews with Playboy, NME and a Swedish publication.
Bowie was quoted as saying: “I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism … I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership.”
One of the popular themes in British politics today
He was also quoted as saying: “Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars” and “You’ve got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up.” Bowie caused further controversy by allegedly making a Nazi salute while riding in a convertible, although he always strongly denied this, insisting that a photographer simply caught him in the middle of waving.”
Bowie- “Hitler was a rock star”
Bowie (of course) later “expressed regret and shame for these statements, blaming them on a combination of an obsession with occultism and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as his excessive drug use at the time.” It’s always the drugs or alcohol. You have to wonder if there is anyone making these remarks while being stone, cold sober. If they are, you’re not hearing about it.
I didn’t want to talk about politics today. I’ll blame it on the drugs instead. That’s how easy it is to get out of any controversy. Substance abuse forgives everything, doesn’t it? “I wasn’t in my right mind”, that’s always the excuse but I’m not buyin’ it.
In other news, the chicks that were in the nest outside my window finally flew off last evening. They were sitting on the window ledge for hours trying to summon up the will to take off. Both their parents appeared had on the fire escape earlier, looking through the window at me. It was another “What’s the matter Skip moment”.
Were they signalling that their offspring were about to leave? I don’t know. The whole thing was thoroughly bonkers. This has never happened before. What the hell is going on? I’ll be seeing aliens on the fire escape next, but maybe that’s what they actually were. Weird man.
Good Day
