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:

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.

Yes, I think so.

I didn't watch that much, but it seems to be about the crazy leftist bias of the media in reporting a schoolyard altercation between an older white British boy and a younger Syrian immigrant boy who threatened to rape the older boy's sister.

UK riots: Just ignore the real problem and blame it all on the ‘far right’

Some issues are neglected for so long that all it takes is a single spark for everything to go up in flames

Every summer now, Canada is rife with forest fires. Some exploit the disasters to push an agenda, arguing that it’s a surefire sign of climate change, and ignoring that a lack of environmentally inconvenient controlled burns are the actual culprit. The same could be said for the riots that have swept Britain since three children were murdered in Southport at a day camp by a British 17-year old of Rwandan origin.

The British government has long known that the migration issue was out of control, and newly-elected Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer has found the culprit. It’s the “far-right” Brits that are “targeting” Muslim and “other minority communities.” Because who, en route to doing a little shopping in Mayfair, isn’t tired of passing their “Nazi salutes in the street” as they stretch their arms in between putting beatdowns on cops, as Starmer suggests.

The “far-right” is to these riots what “climate change” is to forest fires: a politically useful pretext to deflect from the long-festering negligence of the political class.

Brits are threatening to extradite Americans for posting on social media.

All extradition have to have a hearing. 1st Amendment will through out 90% of them.

But you'll need a lawyer and that will bankrupt many.

Cheeze It! It's Chatham House, Tavistock and the RIIA!

Why can't they just commission the Pope to extradite them to the Capitol grounds in the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC, where the Law of the Inquisition holds sway, and they can be tortured by Jesuits.

Idiot doesn't seem to remember what happened to the last King Charles before him:
