White Noise

Brutality often brutalises its victims. But those AWB types on Twitter and elsewhere today, their heroine in Britain in fact wanted to go a lot further than Eugène Terre'Blanche ever advocated. He only wanted a part of South Africa to be all-white, whereas Margaret Thatcher wanted all of it to be like that, and she imagined that until 1910 it had been. There will never be a statue of her in Parliament Square. Knowing what we know now, there would never have been one anywhere.

Those AWB types on Twitter and elsewhere today, if they saw a 14-year-old who looked like Stompie Moeketsi walking down their street, then how would they react? How you would react to that is also how you would react if Jeremy Corbyn the supposed anti-Semite, or indeed if anyone else at all, were to suggest that you allow a Jew into your house.

Labour is going to storm the local elections in London, so that will be that. It has never been about anything else. Bad results were supposed to bring on another coup. Well, there are not going to be those bad results. Very far from it, in fact.
