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:

According to the data derived from the 2014 federal budget, the average annual net tax/benefit broke down as follows:

White: -$2,795
Black: +$10,016


Just wait until reparations kick in.

And now to top it off, a businessman who is paid by the government to house asylum seekers, has been named in the Sunday Times rich list.

Last year, Graham King wasn’t anywhere in the top 350 but suddenly he has hit the 221st position with a net worth of £750 million

King’s company Clearsprings charges the government £3.5million a day to transport and house asylum seekers that reach the UK. His business made £62.5 million in profits after tax last year which was more than double the £28 million made in 2022. ...

So whilst your services are declining, the rich are getting richer.


I bet the British central bank prints money to fund the destruction of the nation, exactly as the Federal Reserve does in the US.

Britain’s snap elections, called in May by now former conservative-party Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, wreaked havoc on the historic party of Margaret Thatcher and rocketed the liberal socialist labour party into equally historic control of the entire British Government by a massive margin. Corporate media is trumpeting the result as a failure of conservatism in England, and a narrative opposing the recent ascendency of the ‘far right’ in the rest of Europe. But contrary to that narrative, Labour’s winning campaign slogan was “Make Brexit Work.”

Perhaps even more tellingly, now-dominant Labour was the only major British party to oppose vaccine mandates and most of the vaccine passport rules during the pandemic. So.

The aforementioned Nigel Farage quickly spun up his new Reform Party (f/k/a the Brexit Party) after the snap elections were called, and despite that short runway, still handily won several parliamentary seats, even though he’s tried and failed to be elected to the British Parliament seven times before. Eight times was the charm, for Nigel.

One possible explanation for his new success is that, like Labour, Nigel Farage also strongly opposed vaccine mandates.

While corporate media myopically pretends to celebrate the election of a left-wing government in Britain, they have (probably intentionally) missed the gist. In yesterday’s election, voters overwhelmingly rewarded parties that had opposed jab mandates. Britain’s RINO conservative party undermined Brexit, which was bad enough, but even worse it deployed severe jab mandates and passport rules. And Boris Johnson, the pandemic Prime Minister and conservative leader, infamously partied while locking down the rest of Great Britain.

Think about that. The pandemic fallout not only continues but appears to be gathering steam.

I agree as the Labor Party is stuck at being very close to center. The Conservatives or Tories already had a pro-immigration policy.

I wonder what the Labor Party can do such as in regards to taxes, economic growth, healthcare, Ukraine war, etc. without alienating those independent voters who voted for them.

And given its a center left party, that means the Labor Party is expected to be as much compliant to the US Democrat Party than the Conservative Party.

I happened to talk to some English people yesterday who said that labor is going to cut taxes and increase benefits. Lol.
