Every time I check in for a flight and pass through security, turn out my pockets and get x-rayed, I think about the people that would kill me, my fellow passengers and possibly my family members and close friends. These people would murder all of us, just for some political grievance.
It isn’t that I don’t sympathise with some of these people, maybe even feeling that their grievances are justified but my first priority is to my family, close friends and countrymen in that order. When people threaten any of the above, any empathy or sympathy that I may have had for them or their cause, comes to a sudden and abrupt end.
I have never served in the military but I have known plenty of people that have, and fought in battles. They would all say the same thing: it’s just a question of survival and getting the job done. The political arguments, the rights and the wrongs, they are all arguments for another day, probably by other people in other places. Morals, ethics, political viewpoints, human rights and all the other veneers of civilisation are a luxury that must be brushed aside at a time when all that matters is winning and survival.
Of course the bleeding heart Liberal/Lefties of today would have us believe something different, they’d like to turn us into timid subservient weaklings, totally incapable of self defence. This is a sinister indoctrination that started in our schools many years ago.
I went to a rough school with useless, Liberal teachers and violent bullying was rife. My father drummed into me that the best way to deal with a bully was to punch him straight on the nose, stop him dead in his tracks. Given that my father would make me practice on my punch bag for two to three hours a day, for me this strategy worked rather well. My teachers however used to cane me brutally for having the audacity to defend myself.
One day after a bully held a Stanley knife to my throat, I hit him and received yet another thrashing from the headmaster. Looking back over forty five years, I now realise that this was the start of this Liberal/Lefty indoctrination, the disease that has made a once proud and powerful nation into a nation of subservient weaklings.
In one particular third world city where I once lived for many years, I had a favourite bar where I would sit at a table outside on the street and have a beer or three. There was a dark spot just down the street and I’d often watch people get mugged at night. The mugging would often start off as aggressive begging, after which, if the assailant detected any sign of weakness or fear, the pleas for money very quickly turned into demands until money was handed over.
Very often I was approached by muggers in the same way, I’d just laugh at them and usually that was enough to discourage them, I’m quite well built and very fit. This is something that decades of bleeding heart Liberalism has taken away from us as a nation. We just won’t say boo to a goose and there are plenty of people willing to take advantage of our weakness.
Today, decades of Lefty/Liberalism has turned into Socialism which with the advancement of globalism is rapidly becoming Communism and with it the emergence of Jeremy Corbyn, his band of nutters and many more besides. Thank God that the tide appears to be turning against this but look where it has left our country: it is a hollowed out husk of its former self.
The sovereignty of our country has been undermined as our government has been infiltrated by globalist quislings and immigrants that hate us and everything that we stand for. Our military has become almost insignificant and with it our borders almost non existent as the globalists rush to dilute our culture to virtual extinction.
Whether or not we are destined to become the new third world, similarly polarised, with the vast majority of us living in poverty, that depends on us once again being able to stand up for ourselves against the bullies that have taken over our government, judiciary, police and other institutions.
I have only the mainstream media to rely on for the truth about what just happened in Iraq and Donald Trump’s killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, which means that I have no idea at all. It appears though that Soleimani instigated and orchestrated an attack on the US embassy in Iraq, along with many other lethal attacks on US military and civilian personnel over the years with many more planned.
I have long felt and argued that we in the West should pull out of the Middle East and leave the Islamic world to manage its own affairs. I’ve said though that these feelings are a luxury when it comes to violence against my country and countrymen. Donald Trump is the Commander in Chief of the US military, his first job is to protect both US civilians and servicemen alike, in the face of violence against them: there was only one appropriate response.
I’m starting to like Donald Trump, he is one of the only politicians today that is actually doing the job that he was elected to do. Perhaps if some of our politicians were to learn from Donald Trump, we could once again look forward to living in a proud civilised country, where our children aren’t groomed for sex, women raped and men women and children murdered by immigrants.
Perhaps our children could then grow up to live in a prosperous country, run by politicians that do as they were elected to do and represent the wishes and interests of the citizens that elected them into their positions of power.

Great article Flyer! My sentiments exactly! As I understand it, David Miliband organised the SAS to go and take out Soleimani in 2007. They “had him in their crosshairs” but at the last minute Miliband chickened out and called off the mission!
Considering that it was the Labour Party under the ministrations of one A L Blair that got us into the Middle East wars (and sent our troops out to fight with imperfect equipment into the bargain) I think it is the outside of enough for them to be playing ‘holier than thou’ at this juncture!
Trevor Kavanagh wrote today that it is time Boris put his Churchill hat on and stood up with Trump. I agree with him! Come on Boris, show us some real grown up leadership and make this country stand tall again!
Flyer is right in his opinion that generally we should keep out of trouble between rival sects/nations in the middle east. But also right in backing Trump’s action in taking out this guy who has attacked embassies and American personnel. When dealing with a bully, smack ’em hard.
I always believed “religion” was the root of all evil. Nothing has changed my mind and I was born into a faith-based home. I make no apology for using it to get one of my children into a decent school when he was very young and then sent him to an Independent school for a proper education. He is now a Dr of physics in Canada after he was headhunted before he even received his doctorate. This country really needs to get a grip.
Well said Sir. I agree with every word – and I did serve in the military!
Yes, certainly a positive sounding article – perhaps we could put some of your innuendo and suggestions into practice and elect the kind of UKIP leader who would employ a few of Trumps recent positive decisions and actions?
We certainly have had a number of opportunities to establish a positive thinking, articulate and realistic leader………and for some perhaps questionable reasons have condemned them to comparative obscurity….OK. You who know so much about leadership, politics and positivity……can we please have a comprehensive list of all those wonderful alternative leaders we have in our midst, so that we may consider them in any future election…………perhaps methink candidates are now a bit thin on the ground…………?
Let me ask…..according to the treatment of our last three, are YOU prepared to throw your hat into the ring? Mmmmmmmm!
In a world where a politician can be forced to resign for putting his hand on a woman’s knee twenty years in the dim and distant past, I wouldn’t last a minute in politics. I’ve had my hands up a few skirts in my time, not that I’ve had too many complaints mind you.
A threat to me is a big mistake ! – As a young man I used to welcome such foolishness ! – Now as an old man, I still won’t back off, but I choose my moment as I am unable to engage in protracted violence ! ….. My education is to blame for my attitude, due to a Navy Officer Cadetship backed by Rugby, and Boxing. – I just have to remember that all of that was 60 years ago, so violence has to be short, sharp and conclusive !
Iran started on this course in the 70s, whan a particularly nasty brand of religion joined with Moacow to produce a peculiarly foul Revelutionary mix government by vile socialist theologists,
And now they are just spoilt rotten rich kids.. Trump is correct. They need a good smack before they are spoilt for good and we go down the road of 1930’s Germany.. . We have to hope that it is not too late. All done by cowardice of money, liberals, and previous politicians. All happily kicking the can down the road again
{((( It is my belief that all reiligions that promise life after death are by definition, questionable. ( Worse even than insurance.) Believers are at least a bit crazy,( Given that we’re all a bit thatway, that’s normal ) and their arguments should be given no credence , as their main hidden purpose is to infect others and to extend influence..
If a religion does not promise Life after death , is it still a religion or merely a system of ethics.? Or is it another political party.
Evidence of life after death is a bit like “me too” and leaves us all just disbelieving
Surely the world is waiting for a better, less medieval and frankly, stupid belief. Modern Buddists ? }}}}.
The reasons for the total hatred of Trump, is the revelation of their own wrongness, And culpability.
I am not super clever but thats my present opinion. And Trump MUST be backed. That much is clear.
When Iwasin the army there wasa similatsituation in Cyprus and another Ayatollah Khomani doing a similar job and causing trouble. That one was solved by Turkey who just dropped a few thousand patatroops, and that shut him up.Total Force Majeur works.As Hitler found., but miscalculated
Your lament about the decline of the British character and loss of self-respect reflects what many feel and observe.
Freeing ourselves from the shackles of the EU should be the first step in recovery to regain our nationhood. That depends on Boris doing the job right and despite all he says his actions do not bode well. His WA is a potential disaster for the UK. It should be heavily amended to be fairer for the UK but that looks unlikely. What are we going to do, as a nation, if his deal goes through unchanged? Backbone is needed.
Immigration needs to be substantially curtailed or even ceased for a few years to allow the organisation and resources of this country to recover.
Nice article Flyer. I believe that the decision to kill Qasem Soleimani was not taken lightly, and was probably done because he was not on Iranian soil at the time, and such an opportunity might not arise again any time soon. From what I can gather by reading between the lines of news reports he was an active terror-master who was masterminding future terror attacks on the West, which includes us! If his death damages Iran’s ability to wage terrorism then it can only be a good thing to happen.
