🔵 Genuinely can’t see the rush to put Wigan on sale, whilst the Fleetwood bun fight is at the same time?!
Fleetwood will sell out in the day, so why not put Wigan on sale the next day? You’ll get folk only wanting Wigan, clogging internet and phone whilst Fleetwood on sale eh?!

Germany has been tearing down wind power turbines to expand a coal mine.
They just fired up old coal power plants to meet energy needs for the winter.
It's time to admit it.
Raise your hand if you agree that renewable energy is a SCAM🖐️

Golf. Bloody hell! Europe dominant and yet but for three brilliant putts at the last the deficit would be just two instead of five.

There's been an epic Twitter Space going on for the last five hours on the topic of revolution, hosted by Neil Oliver, Laurence Fox and various others. I dipped in here and there in between trying to eat and get the kids to bed so missed a lot of it unfortunately.
But I think the subject behind the topic was really "how do we move beyond calling out what's wrong with society towards action on fixing it?".
Ordinarily in this situation, we'd simply vote for a different party with different policies, policies that we prefer, at the next election and they would win and enact those policies and Bob would be our father's brother.
However, somewhere along the line things changed such that:
a) parties stopped implementing the policies they had previously promised to implement, as soon as they achieved power. They gave up on keeping promises or even remembering the promises they made;
b) all of the parties now essentially implement the same policies when they're in office regardless of how different their manifestos appeared prior to the election. The parties are all the same, like supermarket own brand baked beans with different labels but all made in the same factory;
c) policies are now decided by unelected technocrats employed by global NGOs which are unaccountable to any electors - a "permanent global state"
d) any attempt to form new parties is seemingly doomed, as the mainstream media, especially the broadcast media, which still has the widest reach, deplatforms, censors, smears and otherwise fails to give coverage to any parties which diverge from the agreed narrative. Even the internet, which ought to be the friend of new democratic movements, is heavily censored and monitored to exclude any opposing narratives.
So how can we change anything? How can we make a difference?
I come back to Prof Mattias Desmet's prescription for defeating the totalitarianism which often results from mass formations like the one we saw during 2020-21:
1. Form structures in parallel to the totalitarian ones. Create communities of like-minded people. Help them flourish. Don't engage with the failed totalitarian structures. Let them wither and die.
2. Continue to speak out and raise awareness about what is wrong with the old totalitarianism. Keep trying to wake people up to their failures. Amplify people doing this. Encourage people who send out positive messages. Create a wave of positivity around people who support a better future.
This may all seem rather woolly. Where does the new government and new society come from out of this, you may ask?
Well, out of the parallel structures which are already growing. Out of Together and the Freedom Alliance and the People's Food and Farming Alliances and out of Reclaim and the ADFParty and World Council for Health.
No, there isn't a perfectly formed future government there yet. But we need to encourage everyone who is doing the right thing and disengage from those who are part of the problem.
I truly believe we are living through a time of fundamental change on the scale of the death of the Roman Empire or of the American or French Revolutions. Around us we see institutions of the past which are broken, corrupt, no longer fit for purpose, self-serving rather than public-serving. In the UK they are everywhere: the Home Office, the Foreign Office, the NHS, the MHRA, Parliament, the senior Civil Service, the Police, the justice system, senior figures in the education system, academia. In the US, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, FDA, CDC, any government three letter organisation. All irreparably broken.
It's tempting to get downhearted seeing all of this decay. But this is an absolutely essential element of the end of a failing empire. We cannot have rebirth without first having death, and we cannot have death without first having decay. And we cannot replace our broken institutions without first seeing which ones are broken and the extent to which they are beyond repair.
In the investment world there is a saying that it's only when the tide goes out (or the market falls) that you can see who's been swimming without their pants on. Anyone can make money when the market is rising but it's only when times are tough that you see what people and institutions are really made of. We are at that stage now with our public institutions. COVID, Brexit, Trump have all caused the tide go to out for our institutions and we can now see them for what they really are and have been for many years. And it's not a pretty sight.
So, as I said, we need to live our lives as best we can while this necessary decay of the old institutions goes on, and we need to quietly build new structures and new communities which will sustain us for now and which will ultimately form the beginnings of the new institutions we'll need in the future.
And continue to speak out about what is wrong and what needs to change, to wake people up and prevent the totalitarians from doing their worst.
If we all do that, we can form an unstoppable force for change. Together.👍🙏
