Deeds, Not Words, Paddy

This post is a continuation of an earlier one in which I talked about my dislike of the Irish as a nation.

Here’s the latest development from the Land of Blarney:

Huge crowds have staged anti-migrant protests in Ireland amid growing anger at the government over an increase in arrivals and asylum claims. 

Ireland has seen anti-migrant anger growing in recent months, over the sheer number of asylum seekers being housed across the nation. Many of them are unable to get accommodation, forcing them to sleep in tents which has further incited anger. 

 And there are pictures:

Needless to say, there were also counter-protests, wherein the above marchers were called…

…yup, the fallback epithet so beloved of the Left when someone disagrees with them.

Here’s the thing.  It’s all very well to have mass marches and so on;  that’s a fine thing, even when the Left does it.  But in the end those are just words.

So here’s a suggestion to the Irish people who are aggrieved (and justifiably so) at this welcoming of the unwelcome by their government.

Don’t burn police cars or smash windows.  Do something positive.

Here’s what we Americans did when faced with a similar (although much larger-scale) action that we didn’t like.  We went to the polls, and voted that government out of power, installing a new government would do what we wanted them to do.

I dare the Irish people to do the same at the new general election.  If they do, well and good.  If they don’t, I’m going to have to believe that more Irish want the country to be flooded with immigrants than don’t want it.

And when “Mahmood” and “Fatima” become the most popular baby names in Ireland, and the muezzin’s calls from the minaret drown out the sounds of the bells of St. Kilda, you’ll just have to fucking deal with it.

Otherwise, STFU.

Quote Of The Day

From the Reform UK party’s first elected mayor, Andrea Jenkyns:

“I say no to putting [illegal immigrants] in hotels. Tents are good enough for [them in] France, they should be good enough for here in Britain.”

Her logic is irrefutable.

Of course, my suggestion (that the tent encampments should be located on uninhabited islands in the Outer Hebrides, far away from the British mainland) would no doubt be considered too Krool & Hartless, even by Dame Andrea.

No Surprises There

Well, the Strylians have re-elected their left-wing Labor Party by an even larger majority than last time, so clearly they’re happy with Comrade Albanese, his fellow-travelers and their Red & Green policies.

No doubt they’ll combine massive anti-Trumpism with pleas for the US to help them fend off Chinese imperialism in southeast Asia.

Plus ça change, etc.  Hell, even the Brits are showing signs of coming to their senses — but the Strylians?  Forget abaht it, it’s just head-in-the-sand time, pour another beer on the barby and whine about the Poms beating them at cricket.

Useless fucking wankers.


My Loyal Readers from Oz — and there are quite a few — probably feel even worse about the situation than I do.

Leading Indicators

No, not the economic stuff like M1 or M2;  I’m talking about the old “180-degree” rule:  if what you’re doing is pissing off the right people, then do more of that.

As is happening in Europe, who are collectively [sic]  dismayed and appalled about what the Trump Administration is doing.

Of greatest pleasure to me is the handwringing coming from Britishland, where they are bemoaning our disestablishment of DEI policies.

Wait a minute, that may not be true.  I’m getting still more pleasure from the fact that the Frogs put it all into words:

“Environmental policies have been rolled back, entire government departments and bureaus dismantled, and decades-long diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives were abruptly ended.”

Yup, and you know why all this has happened, Frog-people?  Because the American voters told Trump to do it by voting him back into power.

And as for the Krauts (lol)  saying:

“From banning reporters from the Oval Office to trying to dismantle VOA, Trump’s moves against the press have sparked legal battles, with experts warning that press freedom — and US democracy itself — is threatened.”

…you assholes may want to take that “democracy being threatened” bullshit and burn it to generate some electricity for yourselves.

What the Euros are seeing is… wait for it… actual democracy in action.  Americans voted, and the government is simply doing what a majority of the voters want.

Oh, and as for those “experts” you rely on?  They’re even more full of shit than your politicians.  We don’t need experts to tell us that we have to open our borders to be flooded with criminals, foreign spies and (likely) terrorists — as you Euros have been doing for the past few decades.

And for the writers and readers of the Grauniad:  I can freely say all the above without being afraid of a visit from your English-speaking Stasi agents to warn me that I could find myself in trouble if I carry on publishing such hateful speech.

Fuck you, all of you, and the Socialist / DEI / nation-self-hating horses you rode in on.  You’re becoming irrelevant, and the only interest we have in your future is an academic curiosity as to who will conquer you first:  the Russians or the Muslims.

Please Sir, May I Have Another?

Well, it seems as though our cousins in the Great White Place have decided that a dozen-odd (very odd) years of Justin Castreaux’s “leadership” were not enough, and have elected his replacement Mark Carney as their next Chief Wokist.

Carney, it should be recalled, was the former head of the Bank of England who will be forever remembered as the man who nearly destroyed Britain’s economy during that messy Brexit business.  Prior to that, he was governor of the Bank of Canuckistan, and is widely seen as the reason housing prices rocketed and ordinary Canuckis ended up with higher debt — the highest ever, as it turned out.  (In fairness, his policies enabled Canuckistan to weather the 2008 global recession in terms of its GDP, but at the expense of said Canuckis, who are still trying to deal with high housing costs.  I report, you decide.)

I have told the tale of back when I was still consulting, we independent consultants had a rule never to work with a startup whose principal officers (CEO, CFO or COO) had a Harvard MBA.  Carney doesn’t have one of those, but his degree in Economics comes from the same institution.  Draw your own conclusions.

There’s more, much more, including his assistance in getting South Africa (!) to participate in international bond markets while he was employed by the infamous Goldman Sachs, of the 2008 global crisis fame, although it should be noted that he left GS five years before that.

By the way, his family is a poster-child for ultra-wokery — not that this should be a disqualifier, of course, but it does point to what he comes home to every night.

Anyway, this economics whiz* is the man Canuckis have elected to be their Prime Minister for the foreseeable future, and his first public statement as PM was a strong anti-Trump message, which means that it’s unlikely that Canuckistan will ever become our 51st state.

So in that, at any rate, we Murkins can breathe a sigh of relief.


*Just FYI, the word whiz  is also a euphemism for a stream of piss.
