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:

His own brother-in-law, with whom he reportedly had an ongoing conflict, reported him to the police.


That right there is the root of the issue... allowing entire generation of beta males and overzealous females to run the show.

Trump Halts Major $41 Billion Tech Deal with UK Government Over Censorship Laws

The vision of a sweeping U.S.–U.K. technology partnership has now stalled after President Donald Trump formally paused the high-profile tech agreement amid growing concerns that the United Kingdom’s new Online Safety Act gives British regulators unprecedented power to police the speech of American companies and AI systems.

The suspension marks a significant setback for what had been promoted as a landmark economic and research partnership between Silicon Valley and London.

According to negotiators, the turning point came as U.S. officials concluded that Britain intended to apply its speech-restriction regime to American platforms and AI models operating outside the U.K.


I strongly agree with this action by Trump.

UK Rolls Out Orwellian ‘Toxic Ideas’ Crackdown on Schoolboys

For years, British authorities looked the other way as grooming gangs preyed on vulnerable girls, often refusing to intervene for fear of appearing “racist.”

Now the government has unveiled a sweeping new strategy that reframes the country’s cultural crisis as a problem not of foreign-led rape networks, but of British boys supposedly becoming “radicalized” into “misogyny” and “toxic ideas.”

Under the plan, schools will be turned into front-line surveillance hubs tasked with monitoring boys for “signs of misogyny,” sending those flagged as “high risk” into behavior-reeducation programs.


Not going to work. Biology always trumps ideology.
