Arrived in London this morning. Internet is spotty, but I'll try to report thoughts.

- almost no homeless, saw just one so far
- lots of trash though
- prices seem reasonable, a bit lower than SF, but that's because the pound is so low against the dollar
- the majority of people on the street are clearly not English; they are from everywhere else on earth

I did not know there was a Saint Chad:

The original British, Irish, etc., did have dark hair, brown or blue eyes and light skin

Odd, because if today one goes to northern England, Scottland and Ireland, one will see a high abundance of red or auburn hair. I presumed these folks were dependents of the original Brittons and had less Germanic blood.

Strangely, he had blonde hair as a boy, then it turned black.

That is not uncommon among White people. Seems to me that so many White children are born blonde with blue eyes and the hair darkens as they get older and many have the eyes change to hazel or brown. You have heard the term "baby blue," right?


Same, white blonde hair as a kid and my eyes were bluer vs. blue green now. My hair turned brown in high school.

Right, I meant before they showed up. I have no idea what the Picts looked like. I think they were something all to their own.

Plus, they save on toilet paper.

Funny, but begs the question:
Are we really doing better?

Yes, now that we’ve stopped the censorship “misinformation” complex that was developing under Biden. Nina Jancowicz, Biden’s proposed “disinformation czar” for a “Disinformation Governance Board,” went to England after Trump won. No coincidence - it’s a friendly environment for censors and autocrats.

We can speak openly about the negative effects of immigration. We can even do the unthinkable in England - expel illegal immigrants.

When my son was born he had deep blue eyes. Supposedly this is caused by a lack of melanin in the iris, which gradually increases upon exposure to sunlight. By the time he was a year old his eyes had turned brown.

More appropriately, why doesn't Ulster belong to the Irish, instead of being the British satrapy of Northern Ireland?

Good point.

Paul McCartney:


Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really what are you doin'
In the land across the sea?

Tell me how would you like it
If on your way to work
You were stopped by Irish soldiers?
Would you lie down, do nothing?
Would you give in, or go berserk?

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain and all the people
Say that all people must be free
Meanwhile back in Ireland
There's a man who looks like me
And he dreams of God and country
And he's feeling really bad
And he's sitting in a prison
Should he lie down, do nothing?
Should he give in or go mad?

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

The song was written by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney in response to the Bloody Sunday massacre on 30 January 1972, when British soldiers shot 13 civil rights protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland. Released in February 1972 as the debut single by Wings, it was banned by the BBC and other UK broadcasters due to its political content. Despite the ban, it reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number one in the Republic of Ireland.

If one were to take a vote with the folks in Northern Ireland, whose families have been living in Northern Ireland for centuries, would they choose to join the rest of Ireland or stay with the UK?

There are rich colonial Protestant families who own a lot of land in the north, but they are outnumbered by the native Irish even in the north.

A truly democratic vote would result in the north joining the Republic.

Northern Ireland was majority Protestant / CoE until the late 1960's. When it looked like the Catholic minority was set to become the majority, TPTB panicked, and started passing bullshit laws to limit the political power of Catholics (who were presumed to support reintegration with the rest of Ireland). This led to the Troubles of the 1960's - 1990's (financed largely by the USSR).

Now that Ireland is still part of the globohomo EU while Northern Ireland has Brexited, this has actually led TPTB in Northern Ireland to consider reintegration.
