Beyond the Realm of Manners

I regret that the President of the United States is quite so susceptible to the blandishments of a dying monarchy. While he was swanking about Windsor Castle, just a few miles away this was happening to one of his fellow Americans:

The Free Speech Union
@SpeechUnion
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: An American cancer patient and Trump supporter was confronted by British police and told to apologise for her online posts or face an investigation.

Deborah Anderson, a mother of two, was visited at her home in June by an officer from Thames Valley Police. He told her someone had lodged a complaint about her social media posts. She told him she was an American citizen and a member of the Free Speech Union and he should be investigating burglaries and rapes, not hurty words on social media.

I greatly admire Mrs Anderson's total contempt for the Brit Wanker Copper, especially given that he attempted to strong arm her by saying that, if she apologised, she might avoid being taken to the cop shop: Just plead guilty, and throw yourself on the mercy of officialdom. Worked for Lucy Connolly, right?

L'il ol' ladies who present as normal have rich vibrant not-so-fantasty lives in which they enjoy seeing their fellow Americans' skulls blown apart live on stage before the world. And, if the side on the receiving end of the assassination-porn objects that this is in Moultonian terms bad form, a talentless arse incapable of speaking a word without a fifty-seven-man writing team and getting indefinitely suspended with a multi-million-dollar payoff is a way bigger victim than some hater who got shot dead in front of his kids because he was asking for it:

UK taxpayers are paying for convicted terrorists to stay in four-star hotels; Spanish taxpayers are paying to import more au courant murderers who, as I mentioned on last week's Q&A, killed dozens of their fellow "asylum-seekers" on the incoming boat because they suspected them of being "witch-doctors". In totally unrelated news, homicides and sex attacks in the Canary Islands are up four hundred per cent.

Key excerpt :

Oh, by the way, do you know what “Nekschot” means?

It’s Dutch for “neck shot”. When I asked him at dinner why he chose that particular moniker, he said it was because it was the preferred method of Communists and Fascists for eliminating their enemies. I’m just throwing that out there if you’re one of those expensively bouffed ABC or CNN anchors still professing bewilderment at the tranny fetishist’s lack of motive.

A bleak essay. And sadly true.

Mr. Steyn all due respect, I never miss your articles when they post, fixing Britain is up to the Brits. I am sure President Trump knows what is happening. He particularly avoided London altogether. That’s a disgrace for England. It seems to be gone.

“He told her someone had lodged a complaint about her social media posts.” That’s all it takes.

I might have apologized. It could have gone something like this:

“I am sorry that some thin skinned, slope head socialist twat got their knickers in a knot over something I wrote on social media. To ease matters, I will even offer them a tube of Ozonol Ointment to help them with their butthurtedness. BTW, facts don’t have feelings! Now, sod off!”

Of course, I would likely then, have been taken in ‘for an interview’ with the local constabulary.

Why is the USA still allied to this government?

If it comes to that, Americans should refuse to fight to protect the ruling class of the UK.

The essence of our problem...

“When society is so vibrantly diverse, there are no agreed social norms - hence all those videos of men defecating and masturbating in the streets - and so there can be no realm of manners.”

Diversity, multiculturalism and especially pathological compassion is the death knell of a civil society and nation.

The defining characteristic of a nation is its shared values, ie, its culture. A “nation” with multiple antagonistic cultures is not a nation. It’s a civil war waiting to happen.

If push comes to shove in the UK and The Royals need to relocate, you know where they’ll want to come.

The UK is on the verge of civil war.
