Just when you think things can’t get any crazier, Theresa May makes her Downing Street statement.
What was crazy about it? Well you might start with her declaration of herself as a member of the Conservative and Unionist Party, and how she values the “precious, precious Union”. Why such emphasis? And why so early in her role as PM?
Well, it’s not that unusual. Cast your mind back to Tony Blair shortly after he became PM: Blair visited here and one of the first things he said was that he was a Unionist. After that he went on to bust a gut to make sure that the peace process was bedded in and that the Good Friday Agreement worked. We may think what we wish about his Iraq debacle, but Blair was someone committed to a fair agreement here.
So maybe we shouldn’t assume that what PMs say in the first flush of installation has much or any bearing on their actual deeds as PM. Thatcher, famously, intoned the Prayer to St Francis, all about bringing healing where there is division and love where there is hatred. You get some idea of the match between her words and her deeds by remembering how her own people held street parties and sang “Ding dong, the witch is dead!” when she left this life. Interestingly, Thatcher’s Downing Street speech was overlaid by the sound of protestors; so too was that of Theresa May yesterday.
What’s to worry about, then? Well try Boris Johnson in the role of Foreign Secretary. Johnson was sacked from his job with the Times because he was found to be manufacturing quotations. In 2002 he was forced to apologise for a Daily Telegraph column in which he spoke of Africans greeting foreign visitors as “picaninnies” and of tribal warriors having “watermelon smiles”. He claimed in a Spectator column that people in Liverpool were wallowing in the grief of murdered engineer Ken Bigley and the Hillsborough disaster. In 2004 he got the boot from Michael Howard because he’d lied about having an affair with the journalist Petronella Wyatt.
Johnson resembles nothing so much as a bloated spoiled child, given to daft japes and smart remarks. The thought of Johnson meeting with and talking to Vladimir Putin, not to mention what he might say to reporters afterwards, is a truly scary prospect.
Still, let’s think positive. Johnson’s reputation as a clown precedes him, so maybe even Putin will take his posturing with a spoonful of scepticism. And maybe Theresa May will be as reliable a protector of the “precious, precious Union” as was Thatcher in heralding an age of gentleness and harmony.
On BoJo, my daughter, a one time A’ level politics student at a good grammar school just pointed out that a cornerstone in political brickwork is, where there are persons you don’t like, nor want, floating around you might place them in top cabinet positions so, when they make mistakes you can rid yourself of their setvices at an early reshuffle.
I pointed out in response, but they then have their ‘ministerial’ pension to cushion that blow.
On Theresa Taoiseach, your last paragraph comment reminds me of a 1992 article in the Machestet Guardian by Jeremy Hardy where he discussed the Labour (British) party approach to reuniting Ireland and, I suspect correctly, made the point that, given the cost of maintaining occupation within the occupied territory, and the need of Conservative governments to cut taxes, it would likely be a Tory government which should cut the constitutional link between Britain and Ireland.
When Caligula made his horse a Consul how did it behave?
complaining about boris,picaninnies and water melon smiles and then calling him a bloated spoiled child is there a difference.i know the pc world has gone mad jumping on every word and the other crowd cry racist at every chance people need to lighten up.
Possibly it is the union with Scotland that TM was referring too considering her recent reference to Brexit with Nicola Sturgeon.
Up till Tess made a mess of things, Esteemed Blogmeister, rumours were rife on Liffeyside that our hallowed Prime Minister was not only NOT considering ending his part-time post as C.E.O. of the Western Province but indeed, was actively eyeing the vacancy for the odd-job of Home Secretary across the water.
Double the kow-tow , double the dough, don’t you know.
The conviction was also rampant that pushy, Clontarf -born, plummy-voiced Mrs. K. (Fianna Failure spin doctor in a preve eve existence) saw it as non-Dub hubby’s last chance/ end game to finally get his accent right.
MOONLIGHTER FROM MAYO
May-o, May-o, d.l. come and he wants to become Home
Though still ‘n will be a faithless son of the Vicar of Rome
That Number 10
No p.for old men
Home Sec: feck, a sure cure for his irritable vowel syndrome.
Alas, the best laid plans of Minnie Mouse.
The Police in Nottinghamshire will become the first force in England to recognise misogyny as a hate crime. The force is cracking down on uninvited verbal contact or engagement. It is now illegal to end a sentence with a proposition.
‘It is now illegal to end a sentence with a proposition.’. Cleeevvver…..
Thanks for the info – To start my sentences with a proposition will now be safer.
We will continue as before here, the British do not give a fig about the union, they might pay a bit of lip service now and again but that is all it is. Theresa May is the best of a bad bunch, Johnson will probably balls up his job and further damage Britain`s reputation, so we can look forward to that at least. Just heard that Villiers is leaving….HURRAH!!!!!!!
[Emphasising Conservative and Unionist Party]
“Why such emphasis? And why so early in her role as PM?”
Obviously because of the Scottish situation.
Just calming the horses
The ‘Mafia’ that own Mrs May gave her instructions thus:
Dear Prime Minister May.
Confuse the ‘sheeple’ by forming a government of conundrums
Brexit may be ‘brexit’ but lets ignore it by elongating the process so much so, that it becomes a perpetual work in progress. TTIP can then proceed, because the waters are so ‘muddied’, that clandestine methods will ensure it is embedded in all outcomes. Sack all of the ‘Bullington’ club since they have been ‘discovered’. Bring Johnston in ‘close’ because as an idiot, he can cause too much disruption and noise on the outside. Smother him in gravitas and cocktail parties at the foreign office that he becomes drunk on hubris. That way he can be humiliated in ‘hours’ if need be. Create jobs for other ‘brexiteers’ who did our bidding by joining the ‘out’ campaign in disguise. Do not interfere with Banks, The Markets, Big Pharma or the Media. These are beyond your remit.
Ensure your government is peppered with LGBT positions so that we continue our destruction of ‘family values’ and white Christian ethics. It is important to promote abortion feminism and gay marriage. Continue to eradicate the duality of gender. Normalise everything that is degenerate.Tell them this is all about ‘choice’ but really we know its about dilution of the strength of the ‘nuclear family’.
This is our greatest enemy, along with cultural and ethnic strength. Continue with engineered and coercive immigration to dilute attachments to ancestral roots and thus the land. Mix the races and deprive them of the ‘richness of diversity’ through opinion moulding and badge them as ‘racist’ if they don’t comply. Tell them ‘immigrants’ are doctors, engineers, software analysts and tradesmen,- but flood them with unemployable untrained swarms of cheap labourers who will cut our wage bills and adulterate their cohesive communities. This way we sow distractions and disunity through the mixing of the gene pool and they are easier to control. Keep them tolerant as their culture dies.
Most importantly continue to subliminally indoctrinate them through our media and our ‘presstitutes’ with the ‘terror’ threat and the perpetual need for wars. That way we will always have a steady stream of ‘cannon fodder’ willing to die in order that we can fill our pockets.
Finally keep alcohol and junk food prices low and give them ‘box sets’ of mindless sex and violence on TV. This enables us to keep inventing diseases and poisoning them with vaccines, antidepressants, statins, chemotherapy and Flu jabs and keeps them oblivious and bemused.
Remember – they will never see the difference between ‘Reality’ and ‘Reality TV’ because of their Pavlovian training.
Ensure that these instructions are complied with and you will maintain health and be well rewarded.
Fascinating stuff there TR
Who is this “Mafia” you speak of though?
Can you narrow it down to any individual person/organisation/alliance?
Do you ‘salivate’ Scott when your Masters enter the room?
Switch on your TV to see.
No details on who the “masters” are the TR?
Scott,
Bet you were the kid at school who never did his homework.
That’s completely correct TR to my shame I rarely did my homework.
Still doesn’t give me an insight into who you think controls the world. No names of people/organisations/ethnic groups?
You got it in one TR.
Indeed the decadence of the Western World is being accelerated by numerous different tactics, some of which you have quoted:
1. Abortion (lowers birth rates, hence less Westerners, especially White people. One of the main reasons why I oppose it tooth and nail in Ireland and I encourage others to do the same).
2. Gay Marriage (destroys the concept of Marriage, which is definitely between a Man and Woman. Yet again it lowers birth rates because obviously Men with Men or Women with Women cant produce children).
3. The Buzzword of “Racist” (To demonize anyone who dares point out whats going on, in order to make people fear speaking out, in order to make peers keep each other in line and adopt the official Government policy)
4. Multiculturalism (To literally replace Western cultures/Christianity with other non western cultures, most of which are usually hostile to Western cultures, especially Islamic, like Sharia Law for example)
5. Diversity (To deliberately mix people of different races together, therefore destroying cultural/racial heritages. Of course, only in Western/White society is this applied because that’s what is being targeted. Israel has a Jewish only state. Japan has a Japanese only state. North/South Korea has a Korean only state. ETC. No one would dare call these nations racists (and rightly so) but if European (especially white nations) said they wanted only a European nation then that’s RACIST.
Indeed just after the Rugby World Cup last year the South African Government complained about the number of Whites in the SA team and many are being thrown out of the team due to being White. Can you imagine the reaction if a Government complained about a team having too many Blacks? Or Asians?…..but if a person is white, there’s silence……*tumble weed*……
6. Secularism (only for Christianity). Secularism is being enforced in Western nations, making it easier to implement things like abortion and keeping Religion (mainly Christianity) out of Schools, therefore denying its teachings to children, therefore speeding up its decline.
7. Mass Immigration. The main tool used to destroy Western countries. Flood each country with millions of migrants (like Germany, France, Britain, etc) provide them with social housing and benefits. Don’t demand them to conform to our values but promote “tolerance” so Westerners will conform to theirs. Again, use the term “racist” to discredit anyone who opposes this. Despite David Cameron and Angela Merkel both admitting Mass Immigration and Multiculturalism has failed in Europe, the project continues. This will inevitably lead to the rise of the Far Right again in Europe or even a Civil War.
8. The European Union. A super state that will have direct power over all its members, having the powers to veto the very supreme court rulings of each member state, to control each members economy, to abolish each members army and combine them, control the borders of each country and make laws for each country with no accountability.
The EU has complained many times about Ireland’s economic success due to its low Corporation Tax rate, it wants Ireland to increase it, therefore limiting or even destroying our competitiveness. The EU has already said it wants one Tax rate all across the EU……
Just some of the tactics used. That’s the facts. As a proud Irish man I’m not afraid of words and I advise others to be the same. I oppose this destruction of European cultures. I don’t dislike people of other races, quite the opposite. I have been to many countries in the World from Tunisia to Spain to Australia to India, etc although I enjoyed my times there, I don’t want my home country to become those places. Ireland is Ireland.
I would question the arrogance of people who support multiculturalism and diversity. How many of these people even experienced another culture? How many have even spent time with Black or Asian or South American peoples? How many would even know the capital cities of places like Nepal or Turkey or India or Fiji? Very few I would say, they would need to do a Google search, I know that for sure. Its this arrogance and ignorance that really annoys me, they have this profound inability to think.
Ryan, brave of you to espouse this, the un, or, under educated, could attack what you say as ‘rascist’ or illiberal, of course, you’re largely correct.
One key, and often forgotten aspect of our principle law in Ireland is, the preamble to Bunreacht na hEireann, (ta bron orm, ni fada)
which clearly sets out that we are a Christian, even Catholic state, firstly and foremost, I wish my learned friends would point this out to our learned Judges during related cases, the preamble is supposed to direct the Constitution.
With such in mind, how could such as you state be permitted to obtain?
Ryan.
As always, your analysis is supported by the cultural and moral decay that has and continues to diminish us all.
They wait and smile like children for the mystery to unfold, as they are plundered and depleted.
I trust you write in jest, “truthrevisionist ” …a tongue firmly planted in that cheek as I oftimes do myself…. although much irony and satiric intent is easily lost on some of our less- attentive readers . Failing that , surely you haven’t joined the tin-hat brigade of conspiracy theorists, still stocking that bunker with canned foodstuffs awaiting the coming Rapture?
“Ensure your government is peppered with LGBT positions so that we continue our destruction of ‘family values’ and white Christian ethics. It is important to promote abortion feminism and gay marriage. Continue to eradicate the duality of gender. Normalise everything that is degenerate.Tell them this is all about ‘choice’ but really we know its about dilution of the strength of the ‘nuclear family’.”
….Is this the Tories you are describing?
I can understand keeping your friends close and your enemies, even closer ….ergo Boris in lockdown in the cellar, only allowed out to quaff champagne at functions.(If they are still allowed to import the stuff from our old French friends ….apparently the Rosbifs still managed to get a case or two smuggled in from the frog-eaters ,even during the Napoleonic war back in the 1800’s).No one will pay him much attention now anyway and chances are he now has an all -new perspective on life with the lions, the vagaries of friendships and so on. His wounded back may well still be smarting from the knives. He may have learned now to button his lip a little….his job a bit of a non-job …a reward for essentially offhandedly handing his new boss ,Mrs Mayhem her new job on a plate , if you like. That’s possible too, I suppose, eh?
“Normalising everything that is degenerate”?
…You mean…. more degenerate ,or less degenerate than the behaviour that we’ve already seen, do you?I’m only asking after having witnessed such lying, cheating shenanigans ….the political slaughter of fellow countrymen by fellow countrymen … and the knifing of …and by …political rivals within this past couple of weeks ..Yes very moral behaviour!! . Could this be the ‘family values’ and white Christian ethics” you refer to . I suppose that’s the same ‘family values’ and white Christian ethics” we see here in the land of the Lala every summer when those same ethics turn the place into a topsy -turvy of shit-stirring, law-breaking and fiery hooliganism .I suppose it might just well be.

Nothing I have written is ‘written in jest’.
It is written with an understanding of history which consistently explains that political outcomes are usually the manufactured product of greed and psychopathy amongst criminal agencies.
Otherwise we must accept ‘coincidence theory’.
I understand your ‘blindness’ and your lack of courage and engagement with the truth. You are not alone.
It will serve you well with your Masters, as you wait in anticipation for the next episode of Star Wars or Xfactor.
Meanwhile many poor souls will be dying in ‘real wars’ as a result of the cognitive dissonance of sheeple like yourself.
All of this I say with the greatest respect for your limited capacity to absorb reality and truth.
In our wee part of the world, despite the evidence right in front of them, some folk still refuse to believe the governments have our best interests at heart. Despite the black ops and double agents of which there is plenty, they still refuse to contemplate that they would be capable of dastardly deeds.
When a relative of a Brit squaddie stated that the biggest terrorist in the world was Tony Blair, I am sure she was dismissed as a tin foil hat member by those still in denial.
Why..thank you truthrevisionist ! It is something of a comfort for us poor plebeians to know that we are in the presence of a visionary and a seer of such extraordinary far-seeing vision and intellect, such as your own good self purports to be . I’ll get back to my boxset of “Justified” then, with my “limited capacity to absorb reality and truth”…. while you, omnipotent knowledge , get on with saving the world . Good lad !!! Oh by the way …..baaaaaaa….(as all good sheeples might utter….)Now don’t forget to put the tin- hat back on .
paddycool,
Wow ! What an inspiring counter- narrative!
Yes it was a simple commentary on your presumption that outside of yourself, we are all fools ,unread, uncultured ,unaware of history, social changes , how societies developed , having only collected the comprehension of a mere sixty or seventy years of existence and possibly not having the longevity and accumulated knowledge of an ancient 900 year -old Biblical Methuselath… and are all seen collectively as some amorphous blob of idiocy which is reduced to watching re-runs of pap television shows …in thrall to bread and circuses…. while you, who by your tone , appear have your fingers stuck into the only hidden bag of knowledge and that there is no one else can see the real background shenanigans driving our lives. That is some presumption ,truthrevisionist.
Jude, I think we all know that Theresa May was thinking of Scotland when she spoke of the “precious, precious Union”. If Scotland were to leave the Union (which looks likely) then the UK would be finished. I actually do see many tory toffs being upset over that but they would find solace in the fact that England and Wales would then be Tory States for life if Scotland left the UK. Would there be much outpouring of grief from the Tories if our own little sectarian statelet left the UK? I doubt it very much, indeed I can picture the Tories (and the general British public) cracking open the champagne at the thought of NI going independent or reuniting with the South.
Indeed I was reading this week that there is plans for a Federal UK in the attempt to combat the SNP’s drive for Scottish Independence if there is another Referendum. In the plan each country in the UK will govern everything except for foreign policy and defence. The House of Commons will be reduced down to just around 100 members. Of course this weakens the UK nearly as much as Scotland leaving would. But focus in the article was given to the North, which would practically be an Independent state. Can you imagine it? The parties in Stormont being left to their own devices? Having control over all tax powers? No block grant coming? Being responsible for paying our own bills? One thing is for certain, the likes of DUP’s Paul Girvan would have to think twice before giving £200,000 for musical instruments for Loyalist bands (yes, £200,000…..for instruments…) while cutting the funds for the Arts Council by up to 50%……
Boris Johnson isn’t shy (all clowns aren’t) about making foolish statements. He said many ignorant things about Africans in the past. He said “This is all Pro-Sinn Fein, lefty crap” in reference to the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in London. He said that President Obama and the USA don’t like Britain (and I think he’s correct there. I wouldn’t like Britain either if I had a Kenyan Grandfather who was tortured by British soldiers). Indeed I think Boris despises Americans. He was born in the USA but he is planning to renounce his US citizenship and said publically he would be doing so to show “Loyalty to Britain”. Nigel Farage, the ex-UKIP leader, also tagged along with Boris to say that the USA “didn’t quite like us (the British) that much”. He said this around the time when Obama said if UK left the EU then they would be at the back of the queue.
I don’t really know what sort of PM Theresa May will make but I’m just hoping she doesn’t think she’s another Margaret Thatcher because Maggie’s policies here were a disaster….
PS: Oh, and we have a new SoS of state. Good riddance to Theresa Villiers, she should’ve resigned weeks ago due to her comments about the Loughinisland report.
PPS: Slightly off topic but It turns out the South’s economy didn’t grow by 7% last year, it grew by 26.5% due some sort of “Asset Relocation”. The North’s economy will be in recession as soon as we leave the EU but we’re expected to grow by less than 1% this year. It really isn’t an overstatement to say that comparing the South’s economy with the North’s is like comparing China’s economy with Zimbabwe’s………
Some interesting stuff there Ryan…but do you really think that if our little Norneverland six-county, fantasy statelet was released from the UK’s anchorage that it could ever be a self-sustaining federation? It wouldn’t last five minutes, reduced as it would be to two tiny, crowded counties along the coast. As for the Welsh and the English toasting our good-riddance with champagne …might that not be unpatritic of them now? Maybe the toast will be made in good English Somerset cider instead……non of that foreign stuff!!
Well, the south have had a free run at growing their economy. They have improved their relations with England and are doing very well out of it.
They are quite happy to shun their Irish citizens in the north and assist with British state cover up of collusion and murders of Irish citizens in return for freedom to look after number 1 in the south, which is the Dublin economy and corporate profits.
I too used to support the economic growth of the southern economy, I remember when it was struggling and I used to spend as much as I could there trying to take money out of the north and into the south. The country was united then, it isn’t now. I barely recognise the southern state anymore.
Change happens as they say and not always for the best.
Dublin has sold out its citizens in the north for the profits you mention, but it is nothing to be proud off.
Never mind Turkey, we need a military coup in Ireland.
