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:

Yes, and I think a major goal of the Ukraine was was to get as many Slavic men as possible to kill each other.

The UK’s socialist Labour Party-controlled government has rejected calls from the British public to roll back its Orwelian censorship laws, instead doubling down on digital restrictions even as backlash intensifies at home and abroad.

Britain’s globalist government rejected widespread public demands to roll back its sweeping Online Safety Act (OSA).

More than 160,000 Britons signed a petition urging Parliament to repeal the Act, a law critics warn has rapidly evolved from a child-protection measure into one of the most aggressive censorship systems in the democratic world.

Instead of reconsidering, MPs used the debate to push for even stricter controls on VPNs, age-verification tools, encrypted messaging platforms, and AI chatbots.

The debate in a sparsely attended Westminster Hall session revealed a stark divide as the public demands digital freedom, and the government presses for deeper surveillance and expanded authority.


Britain needs a First Amendment, and a Second Amendment to protest the First.

It needs to completely fail and burn down showing the rest of the west to wake up or your next.

England never had a major revolution in the last 500 years, unlike every other country in Europe. It's about goddamn time. . .

I think so too. “Fight to the last Ukrainian” was a statement of intent. A dress rehearsal of the broader war some would like -- with locked borders, roving conscription thugs, and feckless leadership.
