WOKE WEDNESDAYS #7

Two and a half years ago a mobile phone provider posted the following article to its website: "How to speak to your child about gender identity".  The article is as demented and sinister as it sounds, with the second paragraph introducing someone called John Grosshandler (yes, seriously) who talks about a supposed incident in which his nine-year-old daughter 'came out'.

Mr Grosshandler - if he even exists - goes on to explain how he found help with his LGBT nine-year-old from an organisation called GenderCool.  This group is just as disturbing as the article in which it is name-dropped.  Both unarguably have the aim of sexualising children and normalising trans/non-binary nonsense from an early age.


While most, if not all, big multinational corporations are now tied to the broadcast of establishment propaganda, we can all consider perhaps switching from Vodafone - the company that posted the above article.

Last week's 'midget' meme generated 161 comments and 219 shares on Facebook, to date our most engaging woke Wednesday yet.

TOON TUESDAY #32

With tens of thousands of farmers descending on London, today's theme is somewhat predictable...

WE STAND WITH THE FARMERS


As farmers trundle into London en masse today, BTLP stands behind them.  This is perhaps the most important issue of our time, because without farmers we starve.  It's that simple.

While the mass media will frame today's protest around inheritance tax, it is about much more than that.  The assault on farming is an ongoing and co-ordinated campaign by globalists and their puppets to dismantle farms and get farmers off the land.  It is one of the oldest tricks in the communist playbook - who controls the food, controls the people.

Throughout 2024 we have seen huge protests across Europe in response to a variety of attacks, such as dystopian nitrogen emissions curbs and pesticide bans.  All these efforts by globalist-captured governments are carried out in the name of 'net zero', the ultimate goal of which is to drastically reduce meat and dairy consumption.  One document from the C40 Cities Initiative (a globalist NGO chaired by Sadiq Khan) states that zero meat and dairy consumption is desirable.

In order to reach the extreme 'net zero' targets decreed by globalist states such as ours, the removal of farms and their livestock is seen as integral to achieving those targets.

If people assume that the inheritance tax land grab by the UK government is their first volley against livestock farming, they would be mistaken.  In 2022 the then Tory government offered to pay farmers a lump sum to leave the industry and sell or rent out at least 95 per cent of their land.  What we see now with inheritance tax is an extension of that drive to get farmers off the land.  The Welsh government will introduce their Sustainable Farming Scheme next year, which requires farmers to surrender at least 10 per cent of their land and give it over to 'habitat' and/or 'tree cover'.

It is no coincidence that Bill Gates met with Reeves and Starmer in Downing Street less than a fortnight before her land grab budget.  It is surely no coincidence, either, that Gates is already the largest landowner of private farmland in the United States and he and his globalist comrades make no secret of the fact they desire us to 'eat bugs' and 'synthetic meat'.  That is, of course, those of us who survive their dystopian plan to reduce carbon, that carbon being primarily us.

Meanwhile, as we are offered crickets and the lab-grown meat that will no doubt kill more of us off, rest assured that people like Gates, Blair, Schwab etc will be enjoying the finest cuts of steak from their own private farms.

This cannot and must not be our future.  Stand with our farmers - today and every day - as they have fed and sustained us every day of our lives.

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #6

The pretty Oxfordshire market town of Abingdon-on-Thames seems like a place you would expect to be free of the cosmopolitan middle class bullshit of PC wokery.  Well, thanks to a middle class cosmopolitan university lecturer who got wind of a 'controversial' pub name, said pub is now changing its name!

Dr Erin Pritchard is a 'disability lecturer' at Liverpool Hope University, which is 180 miles away from sleepy Abingdon.  As a dwarf, Dr Pritchard has made it her life's mission to hunt down 'offensive' terms that she claims are offensive to the wee folk.  In 2022 she successfully managed to persuade Marks and Spencer to rename their 'midget gems' to 'mini gems', because she claimed that the word 'midget' is a form of 'hate speech'.  Tesco, Morrisons, Maynards and other retailers soon followed suit, simply out of fear for not being deemed progressive enough by the cancel mob.

Dr Pritchard's X feed is basically a long list of her attempts to cleanse the English speaking world of the word 'midget'.  So when she found out that there was a pub in Oxfordshire called The Midget, she swung into action and started a petition demanding that the brewery change the name.  That the pub is actually named after a classic sports car that was produced in the town's former MG factory, thereby reflecting a piece of local heritage, is anathema to the frothy-mouthed lunatic from Liverpool.

Despite the fact that her online petition only garnered a somewhat paltry 1,344 signatures after ten months, the brewery caved in and the pub will be renamed The Roaring Raindrop when it reopens next month following refurbishment.  The new name refers to another MG model, made famous in 1957 when it broke the land speed record driven by British racing legend Stirling Moss.

Since the news of the name change broke, angry locals have begun their own online petition in opposition to the change.  This new petition garnered more than twice that of Pritchard's in just a matter of days and at the time of writing is approaching 3,000 signatures.  However, it is unlikely to provoke a change of heart from Greene King, as we know only too well that the communist speech police of cosmopolitan middle class suburbia hold more sway than disgruntled local people who actually live there and use these amenities...


Following her most recent victory, we can surely now expect Pritchard to expand her campaign against Abingdon's motoring heritage by demanding that place names be changed, too.  The Midget pub, for example, is located in Midget Place.

We know that the Marxist left who like to police speech are no different from the book burning Nazi socialists they claim to oppose.  Dr Pritchard's own intolerance is perhaps best exemplified by the image on the front of her book about dwarfism.  It is the depiction of a circus tent in flames.  So, rather like the woke dwarf actor Peter Dinklage - who decried a Hollywood remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Dr Pritchard is only too happy to deprive other dwarves of employment, save that she may be offended on their behalf!

COUNCIL BY-ELECTIONS 07.11.24


It's an overwhelmingly Scottish affair this week. with five of the nine by-elections taking place north of the border.  Please note that Scotland uses the Single Transferable Vote system, as opposed to the First Past the Post system used in England and Wales.

Scottish Tories will be overjoyed with four gains from the SNP, three of which came in Aberdeenshire.  Elsewhere, Labour held in Inverclyde where lots of absentees helped them to a rare increased vote share.  Their vote share was down in four other seats and they amassed a grand total of just 12 votes, standing as newcomers in Herefordshire.

While Douglas Ross will be cock-a-hoop in Scotland, Kemi Badenoch will not be so pleased with results in England.  There were a couple of intriguing results, both gains that involved newcomers Reform.  Labour gained a council seat in Blackpool from the Conservatives, despite seeing their vote share dip by more than 16 points.  The Tories themselves were pushed into third place with their share plunging by almost 30 points.  Why?  Reform stood here for the first time and racked up an impressive total, missing out on a gain of their own by just 13 votes.  This is the first seat Labour have gained in England since the general election/

The other seat of interest was also in Lancashire, where Reform again came from nowhere to take a seat from the Conseravatives on Wyre Council.  Not a great start for Kemi...

WOKE WEDNESDAYS #5

We were tempted to go with a Trump theme today, but the memes are endless right now as the left continue to melt down, so we opted for something else.


Incidentally, prior to Seth's appointment, Newcastle United banned a fan from their ground for social media posts about transgender people.  The fan is now taking legal action against the club, who took the Orwellian action after someone complained that: "If I were trans, I would feel extremely unsafe and incredibly discriminated towards had I had to share a space with someone openly transphobic".

This happened long before Labour introduced the Employment Rights Bill, in which employers will be made liable for speech from members of the public that may offend their staff.  Full on dystopia.

Last week's trans meme generated 25 comments and 32 shares on Facebook.

CAN HE? WILL HE?


He most certainly can, but whether Trump will win again remains to be seen.  Polling going into election day is so tight nothing is certain, with all of the seven crucial swing states polling well within the margin of error.  It is impossible to confidently call any one of them for either candidate.

The seven so-called swing states are as follows, with the electoral college votes in brackets.  A candidate requires 270 electoral college votes to win the election.

Pennsylvania (19)
Georgia (16)
North Carolina (16)
Michigan (15)
Arizona (11)
Wisconsin (10)
Nevada (6)

The importance of winning Pennsylvania cannot be understated.  If Harris wins Pennsylvania and the neighbouring Rust Belt states of Michigan and Wisconsin - in addition to all the traditional blue states the Democrats would normally expect to win - she will be the 47th US president.

However, there is a very good chance that Trump could flip one or more of those traditional blue states, nullifying Harris's Rust Belt route to victory, as long as he takes swing states elsewhere.

So what are the other states that could come into play?  The two most likely states to flip to the other side are Virginia (13) and New Hampshire (4).  Both states have seen some impressive polling for Trump and he even took time out from his tour of swing states to hold a surprise rally in Virginia on Saturday.  He confidently announced to the packed rally that he was going to flip the state on Tuesday.  Virginia has been a blue state since 2008, while New Hampshire has been blue since 2004.

If Trump wins a landslide victory, a third state he could flip is New Jersey (14), a state that has been blue since 1992.

Beyond those three states, it is hard to imagine any more states flipping.  Trump is expected to poll very well in New York state (28) and, again, he has stated he will flip it.  However, New York state has been a blue state since 1988 and Democrats have had a huge majority there at every presidential election since 1996.  Highly unlikely to flip, but if it did then Trump's victory would likely be huge.

In the pursuit of fairness we should mention Iowa (6).  Trump flipped Iowa from blue in 2016 and held it in 2020 with a bigger vote share.  On Sunday a shock poll showed Harris leading Trump by three percentage points in Iowa and this was widely circulated by the establishment media outlet CNN.  The timing and prominence given to the poll suggested that the left-wing oriented broadcaster was trying to distract its viewers from other demoralising polls suggesting Trump could flip states elsewhere.  Another intention was to potentially distract Republicans from the key battlegrounds of Pennsylvania and elsewhere.  In any case, all other polls carried out in Iowa during the same period showed Trump leading Harris by between four and ten points.

The outcome of the election is not likely to be known until late on Wednesday or possibly longer.  The longer it drags on the more questions will be asked about the validity of the election.  Some counties in states such as Arizona, Georgia and Nevada are saying they won't be able to verify results for several days, up to a week and more.  When one considers that all these counties are led by Democrats, it opens up very serious questions about the counting process.

Our own United Kingdom general elections are counted and the results announced within hours of polls closing.  Even India - a country of 1.5billion people - can declare their electoral results within 24 hours.  The 2020 US presidential election was a joke, and this latest election looks set to follow suit.  The words 'banana republic' spring to mind.

We know that the party of the globalists will cheat in order to maintain their grip on power, this is a given.  As conservatives and libertarians, we've got to hope that this one is too big to rig...

With a very important election day over the Pond, this is how US conservative AF Branco sees it...

AN ELECTION OF WORLD IMPORTANCE


Many conservative commentators have called this election 'the most important in our lifetime' or even the most important in American history.  In actual fact, this election is much more important than that.

While it is well documented that Trump was the first US president in decades not to drag his country into a new foreign conflict, what is less well known is the fact that without him in the White House we are now closer to nuclear apocalypse than at any point since the end of the Cold War.  When Putin talks about 'red lines' do we take him seriously or keep provoking him by crossing those lines?  Let's not forget that Putin's invasion of Ukraine only came about through decades of NATO provocation.  Who is to say he would not 'push the button', especially if he felt his back was against the wall?

It is not simply that Western leaders are playing a deadly game in Ukraine, they are playing a game that could result in end times.  It has to stop.  The war has to stop.

That will not happen if Harris wins on Tuesday.  She and Biden have barely uttered the word 'peace' over the last two years, these are globalist war hawks only too happy to prolong the conflict indefinitely.  The eye watering amounts of money flowing into Ukraine will continue, the war will continue.

Contrast with Trump's position: End the war as soon as possible.

He actually claims he would stop it in his first 24 hours if re-elected.  That is a bold claim and certainly one which can be taken with a pinch of salt.  But we know from his previous term that he is not a hawk and instead of isolating and antagonising our designated enemies, he speaks to them.  Who can forget his historic meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, in which he became the first US president to set foot in North Korea?

If Biden and Harris won't even speak to Vladimir Putin, how on earth can there ever be peace?

While establishment media continues to promote the idea that Trump is Putin's greatest ally, they conveniently omit the fact that Russia did not attack or annexe any neighbouring state during the Trump presidency.  The Donbas War and annexation of Crimea took place in 2014 - on Obama's watch - while Ukraine was invaded in 2022 under Joe Biden.  Mass media's implication that Putin presents a greater threat under a Trump presidency does not hold up to scutiny, in fact the opposite is true.

Trump is the man who can pull us back from the brink of World War III.  Harris is the war candidate, the continuity candidate, the establishment choice.

Trump will not merely save America - or in the very least hold back the tide of the globalist onslaught against it - he can save the world.
