"As an aside, I see the newspaper Boris and I once worked for, The Daily Telegraph, now has a "Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging" - one Asif Sadiq, MBE - who writes earnest pieces with headlines like "Why Diversity is the Missing Piece of the Corporate Puzzle". The decline and decay of the post-Conrad Torygraph is one of the tragedies of the age. At the time UK Conservatives were cooing over the hollow David Cameron, a man so "conservative" he believed W H Smith should be banned from displaying Terry's Chocolate Oranges at the cash register because it was a health risk. Meanwhile, the Telegraph was so out of it that Charles Moore, our great editor, was talking up the Ulster Unionist David Trimble as the next Tory leader. Alas, the trendies had their way and, as I put it, the Conservatives opted not for the Orangeman but the Chocolate Orangeman. Boris is a social liberal posing as a Tory but the pose - "Mohammedans", "tank-topped bum-boys", etc - at least provides a brief rhetorical respite from the suffocating embrace of "diversity, inclusion and belonging". I'm with Sam Goldwyn: Include me out."
A threatened "no deal" departure on October 31st is supposedly being
ReplyDeletetouted by Boris just to force the EU into re-negotiating Theresa May's
floppo "withdrawal agreement". So M Barnier and his backstop boy Leo
Varadkar are insisting that'll never happen, and it's the May deal or
nuthin'. Let them huff on. My view is that the whole re-negotiation
thing is a feint, and Boris actually wants to leave with no deal. He
wants a clean split - and the UK reborn as a sovereign nation, no ifs
or buts. Whether he wants it because that's his preferred public
policy or because it cements his place in history is unimportant if
you happen to believe, as I do, that that's in the best interests of
the United Kingdom.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, Member of Parliament for North East Somerset, is
suddenly elevated from the backbenches to the front bench; from
persistent articulate rearguard rebel, to House Leader in the Mother
of Parliaments; and, Lord President of the Council.
Born to rule (the son of an editor of The Times), the now right
honourable gentleman stands as a throwback to 1529, when the last
indigenous Catholic was appointed to that office.
Mr BoJo, too, was christened a Catholic, though it has not so far had
much effect...
...but to the point, the Orangemen of Ulster are already calling him
“England’s first Catholic prime minister” — and what’s good enough for
Belfast is good enough for me.

Boris's majority is down to one man after the last by-election.
ReplyDeleteMark Steyn is fake Tory much like Boris and the Torygraph. He pens entertaining articles for his boomer readership mocking liberals for their lying and reality-evasion even as he himself lies and evades realities that would be inconvenient for his pay cheque. He will rail against Muslim anti-semitism but never about Jewish Europhobia which is the much bigger problem.

Also because he won’t talk about race he has to greatly overexaggerate the threat from Islam. Even with the Asian grooming gangs he has to always bring it back to some verse in the Koran. Yet Islam is not the problem. If they weren’t importing Muslim Arabs into Europe they would be importing Christians from Central Africa. This would leave Steyn with little to talk about.
ReplyDeleteMost of the Muslims coming into Europe are not strong believers but Arab wigger types the ones that stand on the steeet all day smoking hash and playing video games in their messy apartments.
