Help!  That one little word serves as a government health warning to those of a weak constitution.  This is not going to be pretty …  You know, I look back to the days of Covid, the pandemic which fooled the world, and almost wish we could rewind.  Yes, I had worked it out and the cynicism was fully functioning but there was still a belief in good; there was still hope.  Five years on, I mean, where to start?!

How about Digital ID?  He takes us for fools, seriously.  Keir Starmer, that is.  The equivalent to a human worm.  I suppose one would never think of a worm as harmful – just slimy and extremely unattractive – but Keir Starmer most definitely is – harmful, that is.  It’s his barefaced lies, added to his steely coldness.  He has a pallor of one who has had an encounter with a vampire, for goodness sake – and lost!  Not an ounce of warm blood in his veins …  His claim to fame?  The most-hated prime minister this century?  The one who has made a totally mockery of the courage and sacrifice of all those who fought for our country and freedom in WWI & II …  The same one who has handed the once Great Britain to Islam.  Classic CV.  Now for the pièce de résistance, that to which everything has been building … digital ID.

Of course, it’s for/because of the thousands of illegal migrants pouring in daily; the ones who are enticed by the prospect of the luxury hotels, benefits, phones, healthcare, gym membership etc.; the ones who, seemingly, have legal immunity regardless of the crime.  Digital ID will solve the problem.  It’s got nothing to do with the problem!  How many times have I written, here, ‘Welcome to China!’?  The irony is, I have always laughed that I would never turn left on my travels – yes, on a plane, but no desire to visit China – or Asia, for that matter.  Too many other destinations on my list – Montana being right up there; God’s own country with its wide-open spaces, mountains, horses and everything cowboy – never mind Don Henley playing, constantly, in the background!  No robotic human beings dressed all in black with the obligatory rucksack, takeaway coffee in one hand, head down, oblivious to all but that heinous device in the other …  What the hell happened?  I do believe if one removed the heads of most of the population, there would be wires!!  Anyway, I digress.  Seems China is coming to me instead.

Communism.  Social Credit.  God help us all!  As Tony Blair – on screen, looking decidedly ill (or just riddled with guilt) – lists the benefits of digital ID for the intellectually challenged, one can only question the charade.  I liken it to a so-called ‘conservationist’ attempting to justify the lifelong captivity of an elephant, a lion or a polar bear; animals who belong in the wild, taken from their natural habitat and caged for life for human entertainment.  It’s the road to Hell!  There are no benefits.  Money, as ever, the motive; control the objective.  Comply and you walk into that cage with your eyes open; do nothing as that door is closed and padlocked and never again will you have ‘the right to choose’.  That experimental Covid vaccine, forced upon the majority, now known to harm rather than to heal … well, that was just the aperitif.  Vaccinations will be enforced, bank accounts monitored and travel controlled as, in our ‘cells’, we continue to exist – not live – deprived of all free will.  No right to an opinion; no right to criticize.  Mere pawns in a game where once the individual was king.

This was the plan all along – George Orwell told us so – made possible by fear … and weakness.  Witness the success of the Covid experiment.  Brainwashed and fearful for their lives, the sheep complied, following without question.  If only they had looked, they would have seen; if only they had read, they would have understood.  Too late.  Then.  Not now!  Digital ID is the end of the line.  Sign up and sign out, literally!  Most prefer to bury their heads, anything for an easy life, content to exist in their bubble.  A life controlled?  Nothing we can do …  If that were so, today, in the year 2025, we would all be speaking German.  Seriously!  What if Churchill had just decided it was futile, Hitler was all-powerful and the inevitable would be?  To stand up for oneself and for that in which one believes takes guts.  To stand alone and not follow everyone else?  Well, that takes courage, determination and great strength of character.  More than that, it takes a strong belief in right and wrong; maybe, even, an instinct for survival!

Clearly, I need a pulpit – or a podcast.  Something I have threatened for a long time but, in this communist climate in which free speech is a thing of the past, I’m not convinced a cell would buoy my mood!  To be honest, the news is all-consuming; addictive in a morbid sort of way.  I routinely set my alarm for two minutes before the hour enabling me to waken to the latest disaster and then, come the evening, I, inevitably, end up gravitating back to GB News.  Not good but what else is there to watch?  Victoria Beckham on Netflix?  Bring back The Partridge Family, that’s what I say!  Good, wholesome family entertainment, far removed from the reality of the Chinese spy scandal which continues to serve as further evidence of corruption and lies.  The last-minute collapse of the trial due to the Government’s refusal to cite China as a threat?  Seriously?  Ask MI5, who claim that the terrorist alert in this country is on a par with that following 9/11; in fact, a major security scare, courtesy of China, was thwarted as recently as last week!  Not a threat?  To date, the Chinese have hacked the Electoral Commission, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS … need I go on?  Then there’s the plans for their 600,000 sq. ft. mega-embassy on the site of the old Royal Mint, a stone’s throw from the Tower of London, and under which run a plethora of highly sensitive financial wires; plans which our Security Services are forbidden to view.  Moreover, China – angered at the further delay – has now threatened Britain with ‘consequences’ …  Could it be more obvious?

An historic week it has been in which Trump successfully negotiated an Israel/Palestinian peace deal including – two long years on – the release of the hostages.  Nobody can deny the dedication, nor the energy of this seventy-nine-year-old man who never stops!  I saw a reel on Instagram of him arriving back from Tel Aviv at 3am in the morning, walking wearily from the plane across the White House lawn.  He looked knackered but had been determined to return in time to, posthumously, honour Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the 14th October, his birthday.  A one of a kind doing exactly as he promised – working tirelessly for the good of his country.

Will he receive any praise for his efforts?  Not from the Left.  Don’t be ridiculous!  Will the violent pro-Palestine marches continue?  Of course.  For these aggressive protestors who, heinously, have been given a free-hand to terrorise the Jews of this country, weekly, are just bitter people who seek any outlet for their anger and envy.  Most are ignorant of the situation in Gaza; no matter, no care.  To them, it is merely an opportunity to fight the Right: Left versus Right, once more.  Age-old.

I have long said that a visit to Auschwitz should be a compulsory part of every school curriculum.  How can the atrocities of the Holocaust be so easily forgotten?  Simple.  People no longer care. No community, no connection, no pride, no respect, no decency; worse, no thirst for learning in a sea of arrogant ignorance.  What hope?  So it is that anti-semitism is rife in a country which has miraculously failed in its bid for multiculturalism; an increasingly lawless country repeatedly fending accusations of a two-tier justice system.  Deserved.  Take the furore surrounding the upcoming Europa League tie in Birmingham between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv … Birmingham Labour Council – in agreement with West Midlands Police and supported by a bunch of ‘Gaza-gang’ MPs – has issued a ban on Israeli fans attending the match for fear of ensuing violence.  Violence on whose part?!  Totally unacceptable.  What is the point of the police?  Is it not to protect the public, regardless of religion?  To deal with the violent perpetrators?  Seemingly not.  Instead, the police in this country have repeatedly demonstrated their Left-wing bias and love of everything woke.  Anything for an easy life.  Ban the Jews and get the grannies instead!  Interesting, apropos Aston Villa and their most famous fan, Kensington Palace has so far refused to confirm or deny whether Prince William will be attending the match.  Too much to ask that the Prince lay down his wokedom in protest against blatant anti-semitism?

Still with me, suitably cheered?  I did warn you.  However, I – personally – take no responsibility for this cesspit of a country.  Who would/could believe how shameful it has become?  As my friend Patrick Christys commented, it is down to one of two scenarios: either the Government is trying to keep China happy or, more realistically, China is running our country.  Delete as appropriate … the first!

Lastly – I promise – in writing this post, I discovered something quite spooky.  My regular reader may recall how – in my last post – I compared the different reactions to the deaths of George Floyd and Charlie Kirk; the bad and the good?  Well, I happened to see an Instagram post celebrating, poshumously, Charlie’s birthday on the 14th October.  Flagging up the comments below, I saw that someone had written, ‘Happy Birthday to George Floyd, too!’.  Incensed, I immediately went to reply, ‘Unnecessary!’.  However, something prompted me to corroborate, first of all, the date of ‘delightful’ George’s birthday … 14th October.  Same day as Charlie, just twenty years earlier.  Same day!  How spooky is that?  My gut instinct was right: their deaths, both, significant catalysts for change.  RIP Charlie Kirk, an overwhelming force for good …

Heavy but with a humorous finale!

There’s money there, yet.  You’ve got the look of it!’

 A passing remark from my friend, Roddie, to me.  Never under-estimate the power of laughter.

P.S.  There IS a God …  President Trump is, apparently, to offer asylum in the US to Europeans who have been targeted for expressing their views opposing mass migration online.  Phew!
