Ancient Briton

Just a heads-up everyone 👋 I’ve changed my handle from @AngloGenXer to @AncientBritonX (display name now “Ancient Briton”). This better reflects my full ancestral identity - the complete ancient British mix (WHG + Neolithic farmer + Bell Beaker + Celtic/Brittonic + Anglo-Saxon layers, with I1 haplogroup). It’s still 100% me. Keeping the Isambard Kingdom Brunel avatar for the next few weeks so you know it’s the same account. After that I’ll switch to an ancient Celtic or Neolithic king look! Thanks for the 2600+ of you who’ve followed the journey — appreciate you all. #Briton

@is_OwenLewis @SpaceX Yeah, but they found V-GER again several centuries later. Oh, wait...

Ironically, that car would be one of the longest lasting human artifacts if civilization on Earth suddenly stopped. Others would include the two Voyager probes plus the handful of other spacecraft on escape trajectories heading out of the Solar System.

Preston Girls High School students deliver Islam lessons to children at a local Church of England Primary School. But NEVER the other way around…

@anewid2021 @RealBlackIrish You're so naughty!

@RealBlackIrish A niggardly attitude to our freedom to feel and express our feelings. 🙂

Two African men discussing how Whites should feel about being the only unprotected group in our own country. I don’t think so, fellas.

@RealBlackIrish The humiliation ritual continues.

@EricJorgenson @elonmusk Assume nothing. Challenges everything. This is how we advance as a species.

Everyone can use @elonmusk's "Magic Wand Number" and "Idiot Index" They're universal ideas, helpful in any industry.

@WilliamClouston Proud owner of a large set of Denby. It's been a long tradition in our family. This scene breaks my heart like you won't believe.

Very sad. There are many causes - such as high energy prices and Labour’s tax on jobs but there is something even bigger. In Tesco you can buy Chinese made plates which look unnerving like Denby - knock-offs effectively - at a fraction of the price. We continue to delude ourselves that ‘free trade’ is fair trade. It isn’t and the long-term costs to our society of this wanton de-industrialisation is devastating.

@ZoomerHistorian I'm repeatedly annoyed by Americans doomering of how bad it is here when their demographics and wokery are worse than ours.

Are we in a new era? Has the dooming from across the Atlantic ended?

That moment where your ancient Celtic DNA demanded less diversity and more of the same...

@bo66ie29 Came here for the cane furniture. Damn...

An idyllic English Sunday in 1956, perfectly captured by Norman Parkinson.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Lockdown tyrant and [evil/imbecilic] scumbag who let 4 million third worlders into our towns and villages.

Manchester B&M You’d expect Boris Johnson to drive a better car than that old one… considering all the golden handshakes he made during his time in number 10

@VFBritain @firasmodad The Druze are high IQ on average, from everything I have learned about them over the years.

@firasmodad Firas is literally the only foreign bloke who gets it.

Ben Habib's plan is to enter Restore and force it to expel anyone whom he deems racist, which is to say anyone who recognises that ancestry defines identity. Failing that, he will use his entry, and the reaction to his agenda, to call the entire party racist. Ben is in it for Ben, not Britain.

@firasmodad I trust Rupert that he knows full well the risks, and will keep Ben at arms length and away from any actual power in the party. I hope I'm not wrong in my faith here.

@Americas_United @RupertLowe10 @SaraMorris0n Laughs in Based.

@RupertLowe10 @SaraMorris0n They're trying to make deporting MILLIONS look bad?

Another very effective advert for Restore Britain in the latest Times hit piece...

@RupertLowe10 You see, in the jammed-closed Liberal mindset, they think all of these based things are terrible. So they are blind to their hit-piece actually being a wonderful recruitment tool for Restore.

@realninawysocka Well look on the bright side. It's not the "French" team.

This is Team England against New Zealand, what do you notice?

@AllForProgress_ Which is nice, but hydrogen is incredible sparse in terms of density, which means you'd need colossal fuel tanks, plus all the cryo to keep them very very cold. I just don't see this an advance over kerosene, unless you're wedded to the cult of Net Zero.

This past week, on a test bed in Britain, a Rolls-Royce jet engine ran at full take-off power on pure hydrogen, putting out water vapour instead of carbon. Nobody on Earth had managed it before. It is the sort of thing that ought to stop the country in its tracks, and it will be forgotten by the weekend. Leave aside the recent paroxysms of renewed net-zero insanity from Derelict Ed and the pervasive atmosphere of offended envy that greets much homegrown achievement nowadays in Britain. This engineering is a wonder, and it's British to the bone. We gave the world the jet engine in the first place - Frank Whittle, a Coventry man and an RAF officer, patented it in 1930 while the Air Ministry assured him it was a curiosity. Rolls-Royce is today one of perhaps three firms anywhere that can build a large aero engine at the outer edge of the possible, and it has just done what most of the industry swore was twenty years away. As usual, you marvel at how little the people who govern us had to do with it. The engineers in Derby are world-class; the stewardship above them is third-rate. They pulled off a global first while paying the most expensive industrial electricity in the developed world to keep the power on over the bench - a weight no German, American or Gulf rival has to carry. We produce frontier brilliance on the shop floor and fritter it away at the despatch box, and we have done for two generations. That is the maddening shape of modern Britain: brilliance from below, sub- (or, indeed, ultra-) mediocrity from above. The people here who actually make things are still among the best in the world; the state that is meant to back them treats a firm like Rolls-Royce as a photocall today and a takeover target tomorrow, and prices its energy as though it would prefer the next plant were built in Texas. Progress starts from the other end. Give these people what every rival government gives its champions and we beg ours to do without: the cheap, abundant power their competitors already enjoy, a supply chain built around them, and a state that guards a national asset rather than auctioning it. The hard part of a British revival - the talent, the nerve, the engineering - is already done, and was done again this week, by people who deserve a far better country than the one currently sitting above them. We just taught an engine to breathe fire and exhale water. The least we owe the men and women who managed it is a government and a state as brilliant as they are.

@MrTruth2022 @JakeMunro The artist knew.

@JakeMunro White women won't gain any power by betraying their people, only will reap what they sow

GOOD TIMES MAKE WEAK MEN Vandals In Paradise Edition Edward Gibbon wrote in his classic "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (1788) about the Germanic Vandal tribes after they'd invaded and sacked Rome and settled in the pleasant former Roman provinces of North Africa: "In three generations, prosperity and a warm climate had dissolved the hardy virtue of the Vandals, who insensibly became the most luxurious of mankind. In their villas and gardens, which might deserve the Persian name of Paradise, they enjoyed a cool and elegant repose; and, after the daily use of the bath, the Barbarians were seated at a table profusely spread with the delicacies of the land and sea. Their silken robes loosely flowing, after the fashion of the Medes, were embroidered with gold; love and hunting were the labours of their life, and their vacant hours were amused by pantomimes, chariot-races, and the music and dances of the theatre." These once great warriors that helped to end a thousand year empire subsequently lost in their first battle against a resurgent Eastern Roman Empire and their general Belisarius. Their defeat was total and within a generation the Vandals were dissipated within the Eastern Roman Empire either as slaves or servants, and ceased to exist as a coherent people, disappearing from the pages of history. This is a salutary lesson for the West in the present day. Since WWII we have enjoyed luxury and a standard of living that our forebears could have but dreamed of. Coupled with no major war for over 80 years, and the decadence of the cult of Liberalism, and you have the classic setup for a culture that has become so soft that it risks being wiped out entirely. I don't need to remind you of those threats, you know what they are. I'd just thought I'd share this echo from history to suggest how we got here. Time to toughen up?

Heart-breaking and enraging. Net Zero has ended 217 years of English manufacturing and an iconic name. The spike in the cost of electricity due to imposed government policy has meant that it's now no longer competitive to heat the firing kilns. The Chinese are laughing at us.

@MorgothsReview Disband and replace with a new constabulary.

They thought we’d forgot.
