DIVIDED BRITAIN:
We have class issues in this country, though we deny it, but nothing like the deep loathing that the UK middle classes (not the upper classes) have for the working class. We are talking about the university credentialed class (used to be a lot smaller). A whole class of…

From Peachy Keenan: “One of the darkest aspects of this is that these girls came from the lower classes, the north, the working class, the industrial towns and cities. Their grandparents and ancestors were coal miners, factory workers, soldiers, servants to the upper classes. To show their thanks to generations of loyal Brits who did backbreaking toil for their country and the crown, their daughters were given as sex slaves to foreign invaders. A genocide of native people. The crimes of the complicit modern UK government put it up there with Ceausescu’s Romania and Pol Pot.”
And the reply: “We have class issues in this country, though we deny it, but nothing like the deep loathing that the UK middle classes (not the upper classes) have for the working class. We are talking about the university credentialed class (used to be a lot smaller). A whole class of educators, officers, medical, engineers, managers. One life example, I recall on Youtube, an interview with a working-class electrician. In the engineering firm that we worked at managment/engineering never addressed him by his name, not his first name nor his last name (Mr. Raines, for example) but simply as ‘Sparks’. ‘Hey Sparks, take a look at this….’. He’s an electricians, so ‘Sparks’, get it. The intent was to alienate, even dehumanize, and it’s still there working today. Deep, deep, deep loathing. A loathing that was as deep as American racism at it’s worst.”
OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.
HAPPY WARRIOR: The Wildest Moments from Vance Visiting The View.
During the interview, [Ana] Navarro was a near-constant problem for moderator Whoopi Goldberg.
As they were approaching a commercial break and Vance was wrapping up a response to a question from Goldberg and co-host Sunny Hostin about race (because of course it was), Navarro tried to squeeze in a question about Michelle Obama. This caused Goldberg to clap her hands vigorously and scream to God to get Navarro shut up:
VANCE: I’m telling you, we celebrate black history. We celebrate all American history in this administration. You guys might be skeptical of this, but I promise you it’s true.
NAVARRO: Can I ask you about a specific piece of black history?
GOLDBERG: He’s gotta – I gotta –
NAVARRO: Do you think the attack on Michelle Obama –
GOLDBERG: I have to go to break! [Claps her hands] ANA, GOD PLEASE!
NAVARRO: – should have been condemned by the White House?
GOLDBERG: We have more with Vice President J.D. Vance when we come back.
“Don’t do that!” Goldberg scolded Navarro, in possibly a hot mic moment.

GEORGIA: Rep. Mike Collins wins GOP runoff in Georgia Senate race. “Rep. Mike Collins has won the Republican Senate runoff in Georgia, NBC News projects, setting up a race against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in one of the most competitive and important campaigns in the country. Collins’ primary victory over former college football coach Derek Dooley is also a win for President Donald Trump, who endorsed the two-term congressman just a few days before Tuesday’s runoff election.”
WELL, WE’VE CERTAINLY GOTTEN USED TO STRUGGLING ALONG WITHOUT A LOT OF IT: Humanity isn’t ready for the coming intelligence explosion.
GOOD. Alleged DC National Guard shooter could face death penalty with new charges. “Lakanwal — an Afghan national — is accused of killing Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe in an ambush-style shooting several blocks from the White House last November. He was also charged with attempting to kill two other unnamed service members who subdued him at the scene of the attack.”
OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Rupert Lowe Releases His Rape Gang Report.
The UK government has refused to investigate the crimes so I believe Lowe crowd-funded an investigatory body and conducted interviews and wrote up a report.
It begins with some appropriate quotations:
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.–Albert Einstein
Man is the cruellest animal.
–Friedrich Nietzsche
Matt Van Swol @mattvanswolI have just finished reading The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
It is, without a doubt, the most horrifying document I’ve ever read in my life.
There is no close second… and it’s worse than you could ever imagine.
Here’s everything you need to know 🧵
1. The inquiry estimates AT LEAST 250,000 girls.
A QUARTER MILLION.
They are overwhelmingly white girls and they were raped, trafficked & tortured over decades.
The 250k number is the MINIMUM, the FLOOR… there are likely even more than this.
2. The same crime was documented in at least 149 local authority districts… nearly 40% of the country.
Read the whole thing.
TOLERANCE FOR DIVERSITY SUDDENLY DISCOVERS LIMITS:
Your newspaper is an intolerant, bigoted Christophobic rag that fosters hate and violence.
Live and let live. Why do you insist on shoving your religion down the throats of people who simply wish to be left alone and not be forced to go against their own deeply-held,…

Including Kaepernick’s own idiosyncratic additions to his uniform: Clown Kaepernick Now Wearing Socks Depicting Police As Pigs: “This ass**** is just begging to be cut, which he probably soon will be, so then he can cry racism,” JWF writes, linking to a CBS Sports article that notes, “It appears that over the past few weeks, Kaepernick has been wearing socks that show a pig in a cop’s hat. The quarterback has been wearing them since at least Aug. 10.”

I THINK CHESTERTON’S FENCE MAY APPLY TO ORGANS: A ‘Useless’ Organ That Doctors Often Remove May Actually Fight Cancer. “In a study in 2023, US researchers found that those who get their thymus removed face an increased risk of death from any cause in the five years following the surgery. They also face an increased risk of developing cancer during that time.”
