9 August - A divided nation. Divided friends
This
is not quite what I had planned for today. I woke up this morning to a speech
radio interview with someone very much in favour of what was said in Walthamstow
on Wednesday evening. That is the Anifa protest which led to
the Dartford Councillor
today being charged with Encouraging Violent Disorder and remanded in custody until 6th September.
The man insisted that there were no abusive chants or Palestinian flags at that
protest so the radio presenter played him the relevant clip. He still denied it.
Everyone but him was liar and eventually the presenter cut him off. A moment or
two later it was announced that the Left wing reality denier swore at the
producer and was banned from being on the station in future.
The Daily Telegraph published a reader’s letter which described such people as
“brave and decent” and another that said they were “peaceful”. Well in as much they did not vandalise property I suppose they were.
The Mail on-line told lies about the event which is not exactly newsworthy but I began to wonder
if I was alone in thinking the people of Walthamstowe were deranged. Is it just
my Rightist views which lead to that conclusion?
This morning I showed all 30 minutes of the video to a friend who leans slightly to the right
and my view of events was confirmed. “They are mentally ill.”
Then this afternoon I was with another friend who leans a long way to the Left. I was lectured on how Tommy Robinson
and Nigel Farage had whipped up the weekend disturbances and how Antifa and
their Nazi Scum message was entirely reasonable. The only thing we could agree
on was that the brick throwing, police punching arsonists should be severely punished.
“Have you seen what happened in Walthamstow?” No. “I can show you the video.” I will not waste my time looking at it.
So the Left are not interested in the truth. They have their views and they are
not interested in anything else. I expect they are saying the same about me
despite looking at both sides in ten or a dozen cities.
I was then lectured on how important its is that Twitter/X is closed down and how the Prime Minister has massively increased
his popularity in recent days. It tells you all you need to know about the Left.
The video of the Dartford Councillor that you will likely have seen on your
televisions was taken from the original YouTube channel which as of this
afternoon has been viewed fewer than 600 times. The extract has been seen millions of times.
Normally I would provide a link to the original 30 minutes of footage so that
you can judge whether the Left is deranged or not but now
that we live in a quasi-police state I am reluctant to do so. Fortunately you
can see where to look on YouTube because the channel name is burned into the video.
Tomorrow I will be with a Muslim friend to help him install an EV charger
outside his garage. I shall be very careful not to mention current (pun unintended) events.
All of these pictures were from the first minute of the video.
As you can see the numbers were absolutely massive extending down four major roads. Maybe
those at the back had no idea of what was being said in their name at the front.
I think it is appropriate that this evenings film viewing should be 1776. (The American Revolution.) An
American disc I imported a couple of months ago but never got around to watching.
