Reader Brian H. sends me this pic and asks: “Seriously, which one is you?”
Seriously, neither could possibly be me:
But I’m flattered that you think I would have been in the Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI). Those guys were maniacs.
So… it looks very much as though the Canucki government wants to go on a gun-confiscation expedition:
Then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced legislation known as C-21 to freeze handgun purchases and a “buy back” of military-style semi-automatic firearms in May 2022, with the bill receiving Royal Assent in December 2023. Conservative Member of Parliament Dane Lloyd of Alberta questioned Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree about the apparent large-scale refusal to comply from gun owners.
“Minister, the declaration period for firearms owners is scheduled to end next week. So far, only 2.5 percent of the estimated two million effected firearms have been declared and 98 percent [of] firearms owners haven’t made a declaration,” Lloyd said. “So, if they’re not declaring by next week, what’s your plan, Minister?”
And the response:
“The plan we have is as of March 31st, the time to complete the enrollment, will be, will be done and then the RCMP and other agencies will be available throughout the spring and the summer to do the collection.”
Remind me again how they know where to do these collections confiscations, and from whom?
Oh yeah, that’s right: guns and gun owners are “registered” up there in the Great White Empty Space.
So the next time some Leftoid asswipe suggests registering guns and gun owners here in the U.S., please remember the above proposed action by the Canucki gummint.
Afterthought: Canuckis being the milder version of the North American tribe, I’m kinda curious to see to what degree they’ll resist this foul confiscation drive. I’m also very curious to see how many Mounties (active or retired) will actually show up to perform it.
When you attempt to present a factual alternative to a narrative (in this case, The Narrative About EEEVIL Global Cooling Climate Warming Change©) in a forum run by the BBC, you should expect to be shut down, muzzled or otherwise gagged.
But Charlie Spedding nevertheless tried, and was of course shut off:
The website moderators informed me that my post had been deleted because it broke their house rules: ‘We reserve the right to fail comments which . . . are considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others, are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable; contain swear words or other language likely to offend.’
It will come as no surprise to anyone that absolutely none of the above applied to what he tried to post, but that didn’t matter:
‘In this instance, we believe the moderator made the correct decision so we will be unable to uphold your appeal. Due to the volume of correspondence we receive, we are unable to discuss this matter further.’
And that, as the actress said to the bishop, was that.
The problem, of course, is that some people still think that the BBC still behaves in the WWII-era of trusted news source, whereas they are more like the Soviet-era Pravda than anything else.
At least with Pravda, though, they had reason to fear retribution from an actual hostile government, whereas in the U.K. the government isn’t involved at all: it’s the BBC who are the censorious (and self-censuring) types.
Which of course is why the Beeb is at the forefront of all attacks on independent media (like Twitter and no doubt TCW) who dare to give a voice to the unruly members of the public whose views (the BBC considers) are either “fake” or “disruptive, provocative, offensive, racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable”.
That “freedom of expression” thing? That’s just so American, and therefore vulgar (from the Latin word vulgus, a crowd).
And from the classics files:
And to continue:
And on a more or less related note:
Now finish that shower and head out to face the week.
Was there ever a screen name that says “All-Murkin Gal” any better than “Julie Adams”? And the original Betty May Adams was from Iowa, even better.
“Who she, Kim?” you may ask.
Well, old-time movie fans would know her as the hottie from Creature From The Black Lagoon, but I’ll show those pics at the end. Here she is:
That All-American Girl thing:
But on with the good stuff we go.
…wait, here’s a better one, with a Mauser:
And those Black Lagoon pics?
Scary.
Lando Norris’ model ex-girlfriend Margarida Corceiro shows off her incredible figure in a tiny blue bikini after split from Formula One world champion
Well, of course she would. Her meal ticket has gone away, so now she has to put the merchandise back in the window.
It must be said, however, that without the current F1 World Championship and all his money, young Lando would not be regarded as much of a catch.
But it just goes to show that no matter how beautiful or attractive a woman may be, there’s always at least one guy who’s sick of all her bullshit. Although, speaking personally, I think she’s completely unattractive: way too skinny and no superstructure to speak of. But that’s models for ya.
