May I recommend Arthur Mee’s Book Of The Flag (1941 – a time when we faced real right wing extremism). And from more recent times, the Pocket Book Of Patriotism by George Courtauld. And there’s always Our Island Story. And John Lingard’s history of England may be of interest to some. Seriously, if you want history these days for your family, you will probably have to do it yourself.
Yes. Arthur Mee sees our flag as a flag of freedom. The woke mob should ask themselves where we’d be if we’d jacked it in after Operation Dynamo (the evcuation from Dunkirk) – which was a real possibility.
Did the Times muppets make a mistake by not instructing their journalist Oliver Wright to investigate big pharma corruption during the “pandemic”, especially as it relates to experimental coronavirus “vaccines” – or are they just bought and paid for anti-truthers? Muppets.

Planning to return them to the Ottoman Empire is he?
I see a plethora of woke related cultural Revolution stories and less and less clot shot stories in keeping with the MSM declarations that it’s those pesky Lockdowns killing people snd causing excess deaths at a 9 sigma rate in highly jabbed, mostly Phizered nations.
I hope this won’t become a DS trend. Spooked by moves on free speech and censorship coming down the totalitarian pipeline?
Heres a very good SStack on Aussielands totally ok excess deaths and the authorities’ attempts to fudge the numbers…nothing to see hear folks don’t start disinformation mate.
The Australian Bureau of (Lies, Damned Lies and) Statistics Australia’s mortality statistics for 2022 are worse than the ABS is admitting to, so why are they tweaking the data – and where is the investigation?

Perhaps we should all get ahead of the woke curve and cancel our society, our values and traditions, our hopes and aspirations and instead endlessly apologise for the historical acts of our unconscious and slavery-loving antecedents. Maybe we should hand over the keys of our little country to the peoples of the world whose countries we invaded – and those we didn’t (Albania) – and let them tear it up and create their own tower of babel country with sharia law, no pubs, no churches – all turned into mosques perhaps, no music, no singing, no joy. Just a bleak landscape. Maybe they can despoil our farmlands and ruin our beautiful countryside creating vast 5G smart megacities where they all cram into little box-like houses and wait for their latest Deliveroo dinner or Amazon parcels. All the British people, those who identify with this country and its values – white, black, brown etc – will all slowly be marginalised to the edges of society. A few generations later and this land of OURS will be unrecognisable…. Sorry, but this is what they – TPTB – want. They are destroying OUR country and it is time we stood up and said… Read more »
When will Matt Hancock tell us where all that Midazolam went, and so quickly, in such huge volume?
Hm?
I see Midazolam Mat has picked his fall guy for all the deaths he initiated. I wonder how Sir Simon Stevens managed to upset this man so egregiously:
“Matt Hancock points finger at NHS chief for Covid care home scandal.”

An excellent article outlining the war we must fight and win.
“How long before they cancel Christmas?”
To answer bluntly, never. There will always be those that would speak out against the overt celebration of any religious festival, and, as Neil points out, Christians are the lowest hanging fruit in this regard; they will “turn the other cheek”. However, Christian communities, steadfast in their faith as they always have been, will not waver in their devotion, nor in their inclination to celebrate Christmas. Surely those who seek to evangelize their non-faith in the name of petty issues of inclusivity would be summarily brushed aside by people whose faith and communal practice of their religion is sacred to them?
Why do the whims of an obscure “inclusivity consultancy” receive any air time, for example on this channel or on GB News? What is the point? They’re not enforcing any policies, making any laws – any influence they do have will be like a kazoo toot drowned out by a foghorn of resistance (at least in the absence of a perceived “dangerous” disease spreading). As should have been the case with the “Just Stop Oil” protesters, can “Watch This Space” and the like not simply be ignored?
