Dislocated Time 🇬🇧 🇮🇱

I've decided to start a @substack on #liberalism, #politics, and random thoughts. I don't know how to do this. But I suppose any retweet and conversation I can generate will feel like I'm not completely shouting into the void! dislocatedtime.substack.com/p/individualis…

Attorney General Hermer’s assertion that it is unquestionably better for Britain to be in the ECHR because it unites us with 45 other Council of Europe states in begs the question by assuming multilateral membership is inherently superior without proving net benefits to British sovereignty, borders, or democracy—relying on appeal to popularity in terms of elite ideals rather than evidence. It borders moreover on tautological by treating group conformity as self-evident, which is why what he says amounts to weak and passé weak globalist hokum.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We’ve had enough of it. Your arguments are not self-evident and a majority of people are sick to death of enforced conformity with policies of ‘superior’ people who’ve quite obviously demonstrated themselves not to actually be good in any moral sense or even competence. It’s stupid. What’s really gross here, though, is the flippant and smarmy body language. For me, it just channels the pre-revolutionary French degenerate courtier Duc d’Orléans: a privileged princeling of the legal elite—bored, amoral, oozing superiority—utterly detached from the English attitudes and wishes of the taxpayers who fund his sinecure. The man just oozes intolerant, ignorant, unreflective self-regard and hauteur. Put him in a powdered wig and he’d blend seamlessly into the crowd of the John Malkovich film Dangerous Liaisons. When it comes down to it Hermer speaks the language of the commons, ‘oops [shrug, whatcha-gonna-do-about-it-gurn]’, but scorns its common-sense instincts on sovereignty and borders. Of his own licence we know little, but given his best mate the PM… well, one supposes birds of a feather. Hermer, Starmer, the whole government, actually nearly everyone in Westminster on either side needs urgent reminding: The people aren’t serfs. The governed classes deserve better than these deluded, ideologically distant, incompetent fools. We didn’t vote for this, it’s not better for us, and the country’s turning into a cauldron of discontent because these people just keep pressing on doing what they want in a way that can only be described as contemptuous.

I have never rolled my eyes so much.

Ah, as with the murder of David Amess by a jihadist, rather than talking about the people and ideology behind a killing many of our politicians are just going to demand more online censorship.

Why is it controversial to some that if a migrant can’t support themselves they shouldn’t be here? We are running a country not a charity.

My gut tells me this Ann Widdecombe thing is really, really bad

@ole_cranky @DailyMail Quite reasonable perspective actually. I appreciate the correction.

@dislocatedtime @DailyMail We know he is NOT Autistic, but an adult child who tries to label himself to avoid accountability No Autistic person who thinks more logically,reasonably and from a literal sense can be a Leftist When they tried the 'crossdressing men are women', my brain short circuited

Ann Widdecombe 'murder' suspect had communist literature at home: Terror cops believe 'attack' WAS political trib.al/bAWCK9c

“Conservatives could be friends with socialists… because they simply thought they were mistaken. But socialists struggled to reciprocate, because they thought conservatives were evil.” Roger Scruton was wise. So obviously the left cancelled him. mol.im/a/15974925

It’s now apparent that the most unhelpful, and most misleading speculation came from the police.

Is it possible that, having worked with her, he liked and respected her and is sad she has died? I was sad that she had died and I only met her once.

"They're makin' laws where you can't drink when you want to... pretty soon we're gonna be a communist country."

@TheMercianNews Yes we’re appalled but we’re not at all surprised.

🚨NEW: Algerian migrant who was caught trying to rape a woman near Buckingham Palace was released on bail by the police and left to roam the streets for over a year. Ramzi Barkat, 54, tailed the lone woman out of St James’s Park in the early hours of September 7 2024. After his attempts to flirt with her were rejected, he tackled her to ground, grabbed her wrists and “straddled” her, His Honour Judge Justin Cole said. The judge said that Barkat, who was born in Algeria, “sought to take advantage of a lone vulnerable woman” and “acted like a predator”. Three passing soldiers stopped the attempted attack when they heard the woman’s screams. Barkat assaulted one of the soldiers. Barkat was eventually sentenced to seven years and three months on Friday. The judge said that the police investigating the matter had shown a "catalogue of incompetencies." He told the court that after the complainant was interviewed, Barkat was released either on bail or under investigation. "He was simply let go in a situation in which frankly he had been caught red-handed and presented a continuing danger to the public." He added: "The bottom line is this man was set free for period of a year, a year to do what he likes, in a situation where he had attacked a lone female in a park." "The public would be appalled to hear of such laxity."

It's so weird in post-Southport Britain now that every high profile crime involves days of culture wars cluedo trying to interpret a stream of contradictory statements and actions from very uncomfortable looking police officers reading verbatim from a script.

“dog walker” - His name was Wayne Broadhurst. Never forget.

Diabolical. Everyone saw Jenrick's Afghan migrant stabbing him multiple times in the street, in broad daylight, for no reason at all. Obviously intentional, obviously murder.

Ann Widdecombe was 78. She had no spouse or children, and her only brother died in 2010. She had no immediate family left. Politics was her passion; she lived and breathed it.

A ‘queer environmental activist’ describes Ann Widdecombe apparently being bludgeoned to death in her own home as ‘quite a sad way to go out’, launches into a statement about what a bad person she thought Ann was and says many people won’t grieve for her.

Rightwing politician is murdered. Police: Think she fell over. Realise she was murdered. Arrest White man. Release White man. Arrest another White man. Deny terror motive. Aaaaactually, maybe it was terrorism. Suddenly… look, we foiled a ‘Far-Right threat’! Impeccable timing.

Are these people even sentient?

The issuer of that vile statement is a man, as anyone with even 1% vision could tell you. Specifically, he’s a man who said he hoped she died handcuffed to a bed and screaming in agony.
