Multiculturalism, National Identity and More
by Richard Eldred 27 January 2025 7:00 AM
David Starkey, "Starmer is contemptible".............
Welcome to this Special Episode of the Sceptic, with Professor David Starkey CBE, the eminent and acerbic historian, author and broadcaster.
In a wide-ranging conversation, host Laurie Wastell and Professor Starkey discuss the grooming gangs scandal, why Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter represents the end of the long 20th Century, Trump’s second term, free speech, state censorship and the “noble lie” of multiculturalism, the parallels between communism and liberalism and why Keir Starmer’s response to the Southport massacre has been “contemptible beyond contempt”. In the premium section, they discuss English individualism and why it gave birth to the modern world, the challenge of imported ethnic tribalism, national identity in an age of immigration and what is to be done.

Oh aye. Brilliant |
and more BS The changes mean the Cabinet will be expected to set out the growth credentials of every single policy proposal, with the impact on the economy poised to take priority.
“Rigorous assessments” will be carried out on the growth impact of each new measure before collective agreement on it is reached, allowing any measures which harm the economy to be vetoed if the Prime Minister wishes.
BS talk |

 Russian Victories Increase Pressure On Kupyansk
Support SouthFront
On January 28th, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed another victory of the Russian army. The village of Dvurechnaya in the Kupyansk direction came under the full Russian control.
The first reports about Russian victory came from the battlefield the day before. The village is located on the western bank of the Oskol river. It was an important logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine north of Kupyansk because there is a large road junction in Dvurechnaya.
Russian Defense Minister Alexander Belousov congratulated the command and personnel of the 25th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Sevastopol Red Banner Brigade named after Latvian Riflemen for successfully completing combat missions during the liberation of Dvurechnaya settlement.
Russian control of Dvurechnaya increases Russian bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskol River and increases pressure on the Ukrainian garrison in Kupyansk. After their victory, Russian forces continue offensive operations advancing west and north. As a result of their recent attack, they advanced about 3 kilometers along the both banks of the local Nizhnyaya Dvurechnaya River, leaving the enemy no chance to hold defense along the natural obstacle. The Russian army is already approaching the village of Kutko
At the same time, Russian forces continue attacks from their positions in the recently captured Zapadnoe located south of Dvurechnaya. Russian assault groups are moving towards Kupyansk, expanding their zone of control on its northern outskirts.

Bloody he'll M2. A seaburn cruise. I thought they had finished with ships in sunderland. Bloody freezing on that N Sea. Get yer sen to Benidorm like other yorkie playboy globe trotters |
Such grand holidays. Such a rich country is Starmer's Britain. Cruises for working class retirees, what next. Used to be the privilege of the upper classes.
What's wrong with 1 week per year at the B&B in Blackpool? For the better off 1 week at Butlins.
Too much conspicuous consumption. |
Lloyds to spend £200 million to upgrade its Scottish Headquarters in Edinburgh. Hmmmmmm |
Or just flat deck cargo ships stacked with adapted shipping containers flaunting portholes! |
i even got the chance to "wave" at the german ship as it went past, if you know what i mean |
My last cruise was 30 years ago on one of those tenement blocks, this second trip was brilliant and nothing like your descriptions, will be booking again shortly for a week in the med, what what sport. |
