As the New Year begins.
We reminisce, sometimes we are sad, happy or we regret the past. But then there is the future with the excitement, anxiety, apprehension, we have no idea. Is the cliff edge the next month, day, or second.
With the children we can play the little game of ‘are we there yet?’ No, we are here. No, no, now we are here! We will never be there.
We live in the present. Will this year be as eventful as the last? Will a wind blow those clouds away? Will 2020 be one long happy day?
Have the last 40 years been wasted? Never, ever, think that.
Can those that are gone tell us, warn us, and guide us. No, we are children, sheep, free from such deep thoughts and aspirations. We will plunder our time, neglect our responsibilities and miss our opportunities, again. The least we should aspire to is to emulate the freedom of a child’s mind. To try is to be alive. Freedom is to speak our mind and give our opinions.
But now instead of standing on the firm ground of tradition, supported by culture we must steady our feet and, instead, support our culture. They are being badly attacked by ignorant people.
Baby Boomers are getting old, but we remember.
We have the world in our hands, but we cannot feel it, we live in a Garden of Eden, but we cannot see it, and we have a wonderful and exciting future, but we do not know it.
Do not be afraid. This sentiment can be applied to many of areas of our lives.
Tradition is the body that contains the beating heart of culture.
As with neuro-plasticity we can adapt, these things are not set in stone, they can change. But they must change naturally, not by imposition, or deceit, or neglect.
Technology is so exciting but we must be safe. The wolf is targeted but knows how to evade and the wolf can target the sheep. The wolf has ownership, the sheep has none. The wolf can disguise itself as a sheep. Whatever way one considers the scenario it is the sheep that are left vulnerable, whether that is through pornography, gambling, privacy, intimidation and now with 5G, should we also be concerned with physical health as well as mental health?
Can we help Labour implode? Can we twist the knife in the Liberal Democrats gizzard? Can we ever trust the Conservatives again?
Yes, yes, no.
With the Brexit Party emasculated, possibly past the point of any significant effectiveness, and UKIP haemorrhaging members with yet another round of internal fighting, what are we left with? It appears that politics inflates egos of whatever persuasion and cause. A human condition that must be considered very seriously as we go into 2020.
Have we been duped with a false Brexit? Probably, but only time will tell that, although we do have some cause to celebrate. The point has been made. Also, we have seen the scoundrels. We have seen the cheats and the liars. We have seen the nature of the judiciary and their flagrant abuse of our laws. We have heard the crony institutions the bogus charities and the cowardly University administrators, giving in to political correctness. We have got the number of the BBC. They know, we know, and we know they know. Their embarrassment must be driven down their treacherous throats at every opportunity. That will be very amusing in 2020.
There is much to be positive about at the start of this year. Examples have been made and examples have been set.
What excuses are necessary? Swallow the facts which can be easily checked, and which would not have been voiced if they were in doubt.
Nationalism is alive and well and is our best weapon against global tyranny and Totalitarianism.
Baby Boomers appear to be doing very well from the Welfare State.
The key will be positivity not negativity. Living standards should be raised for the young not dropped for the Boomers. My dear Mr Willetts, we will forget the patronage, you seem feisty enough, but you must be more ambitious with your words.
Freedom of Speech will be the battle ground of 2020. Out the socialist hypocrites. Of all the issues the number one scandal and the nastiest to deal with must be the organised gang rape of children. That nightmare must be confronted and that will not be easy. Somebody must say: “This is the most terrible, terrible, shocking disgrace of our society.”
When we hear about the ongoing debate of Huawei we realise that we still have politicians with s**t for brains. When we hear of the ongoing argument about HS2 we realise that the EU still needs to be exorcized from the Houses of Parliament. The hypocrisy is stunning.
Rebels are needed! Rebels with resolution. Not leaders and certainly not followers, just Rebels.
The start of a year is as good a time as any to take stock.
Religious Ideologies? They will all have to be dragged screaming to the altar of reform. No good jumping onto the socialist bandwagon that is a hand cart to hell. They must all bow down to secular law and morality.
We are what we are. We are where we are.
It is not about the colour of one’s skin, of one’s cultural background or political persuasion, it is about fair play, homogeneity, understanding, love and resolution. Under one legal roof.
We are tired of Brexit, political correctness, gender discrimination, climate catastrophe, and censorship, the list is long. But it is the hand we have been dealt, and if we have not played it well, then we must just play it again. Our spirits must be reborn.
Although we are tired of the same old thing,
and feel that we’re stuck in a worn out groove,
with love and goodwill we can always improve.
An interesting link Mary. For many of us Brexit has been disappointing. I am a little wary of Hitchens with his detatched attitude and apparent obsession with the hard cold countries of Northern Europe and Russia.
But he is right about the Conservatives. It appears that self preservation is at the top of their priority list.
Sometimes one thinks that whatever is said, someones toes will be trodden on. So I will speak my mind.
He says ” a genuinely patriotic, Christian, and conservative formation.” I would perhaps take out the Christian bit, but I think he probably means Christian values, not always something we find with Christians. Yes that hasn’t happened.
As charismatic as Nigel is, bless him and I mean that, an autocratic party is never going to be any good. UKIP is at the moment being led by…answers on the back of a postcard. So we have a vacuum or certainly a void. It is not healthy.
We have to find ourselves again find that passion and zeal. That is why I put that music on the end. Because it is the same faces, surviving, reassessing the landscape, regrouping, and preparing for what is to come.
Thank for your comment. I hope I haven’t said anything too wrong.
” I hope I haven’t said anything too wrong”. Of course not Kim; i’m not an autocrat and wouldn’t mind if you did ! Too true that an autocratic party is no good since surely, if the leader goes ” rogue,” the whole ship will sink. Grassroots and Independents the way forward? or English Democrats?
PS Re my remark re Willetts’ hate speech against baby boomers : here I was merely hoisting politicians with their own petard. Politicians are happy for ordinary folk to be harassed by police and told to “check their thinking” for exercising their right to free speech, yet the hypocrites are happy to stir up different factions against each other when it suits them, to cover up for their own maladministration. A boomer himself, I don’t suppose Willets himself is doing badly out of the system.
There are two problems with this entry. The link to ‘gang rape of children’ doesn’t work and should have been

Also a link is missing to ‘Baby Boomers appear to be doing very well from the Welfare State.’

Without the last link you will not know what I am talking about in the following paragraph.
Kim : I’ve just glanced at the second link, (Tory David Willetts re boomers destroying millennials’ future). Surely here is a Tory politician blaming a section of the population for the decades of maladministration by politicians like himself : divide and rule, and always divert the blame away from the politicians who deserve it. It amounts to hate speech, judging from the anti -boomer comments to this you- tube. Similarly politicians will blame brexiteers for the brexit mess which they the politicians have caused.
Here’s a link indicating how the Tory party stands in the way of any real reform. https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2020/01/goodbye-to-the-european-union
Millenials: Perhaps once they get up off their backsides and detach the phone that has become a permanent attachment they might be able to get a proper job instead of whatever else they spend their time doing…
Just a casual observation.
Yes, and they’re spotty too.
Seriously, I don’t think you can make a sweeping generalisation about a large group of people like millennials ; in fact I feel very sorry for them as I think they are getting a very bad deal. But we can safely blame the politicians,
Can the conservatives be trusted again?
No. No. No
Can Labour be trusted again?
No. No. No
Can Limpdems be trusted again?
Never. Never. Never
They think we are not good enough and definitely not worthy of Independent existence
The swamp still needs to be drained and the whole damned lot sent packing. The whole campaign against Brexit was a conspiracy which sought to prevent our Nation’s recovery of Sovereignty
Other than that a stimulating article,thank you Kim.
I omitted to say the conspirators should be prosecuted
Roger Turner : Of course the Conservatives can be trusted……to serve the wishes of the globalists to the letter, to the detriment of ordinary folk.
Thank you Roger. I try to have some fun too. We must maintain our sanity with the useless classes ruling. Would if be good if we could just hit a reset button and go back in time? Probably 1950, that might do it.
It is clear to me that Ukip, or a very similar party is needed now as much as it ever was. I recently left because of the undemocratic cesspit it has become under the present NEC/ so called leadership. Given that voting in internal elections was and probably is still a joke, how do the members, if there are any left, get their party back and make it a vehicle for the future and attract new members? Maybe when it it becomes bankrupt someone will step up and properly reform it. If Batten really was the problem then it should be riding much higher now, but it appears totally moribund.
I wish I knew the answer. You have stated the problem and it is the likes of us that are left knowing how it should be but unable to do anything.
Having watched the recent antics of the (anti) Democrats in the US I see similarities with our own Remainers. That US party has truly Corbynesque policies which would destroy the US economy if they were ever to gain full control.
We must fight at every opportunity to keep our own such parties out of government whilst keeping watch on the Cons to prevent them following their own policies which will destroy life as we know it.
We ignore them or say “job done” at our peril.
Agree.
