He also injured three other people during his rampage. No surprise that the Merkel regime doesn’t think locking up obviously crazy failed asylum seekers until they can be deported is a good idea. No great surprise 1st August 2017 You do kind of expect to hear that the head of student equality at Cambridge university has ended up in trouble for making lots of nasty, racialist posts on anti-social meeja. That sort of character always feels that the rulz don’t apply to it. What are schools really for? 1st August 2017 The nation’s child health experts are advocating breast- feeding lessons for 11-year-old girls and boys, who should be getting to grips with reading, writing and sums at that age. This suggests that the experts are planning as their next move to encourage girls to get pregnant at 12, while there’s a chance they might still remember the lessons – possibly as part of a scheme to let women take care of breeding in their teens so that they don’t have an interrupted working life? This process will be helped, of course, by a greater focus on sex and relationship education at the expense of academic subjects. Feet On The Ground : “Xavier 5” 2 The Curse of Corbyn 2nd August 2017 A few years ago, Jeremy Corbyn was praising Venezuela as a socialist paradise. As a result, a country with HUGE oil reserves is now broke and starving, the currency is worthless and the people are on the streets in protest against attempts to make the place a tin-pot dictatorship. Maybe we should feel glad that Jezzer never has a good word to say about his own country, which spares us his kiss of death. That’s just typical of Europe 2nd August 2017 The EU announced more detailed checks on passports at airports a couple of years ago. Instead of just a glance to make sure it looked okay, there would have to be a check with an international databank. Airports in Europe knew this was coming but they have done nothing to maintain passenger flow, such as providing more scrutiny stations, and the queues are round the block and taking hours to process. Bound to be a rip-off if it’s British Gas 2nd August 2017 British Gas would have us believe that it has to put up its electricity price by one-eighth because of the cost of the government’s Green Crap. Ofgem, the toothless industry watchdog, says BG is lying. The government, which was promising to cap rip-off energy bills at one time, says legislation to ‘combat’ the energy market is in no way off the table. Translation: don’t hold your breath. Feet On The Ground : “Xavier 5” 3 The common touch 2nd August 2017 What do Reince Priebus, Anthony Scaramucci and Dan Scavino have in common? They have all been fired by Presi- dent Trump as part of his campaign to obtain White House staff in positions like Chief of Staff and Fake News Guru with regular names so that the people can identify with them and appreciate them. Is MacRon turning into a Putin clone? 3rd August 2017 The new French president has an ‘A‘ in posturing but an ‘F’ in politics for the initial part of his reign. He is currently projecting himself as a military hero; who has just received the resignation of the head of his armed forces over irreconcilable differences. Those spectating from the sidelines are now wondering how long it will it be before he’s doing the bare-chested beefcake poses. Which will turn out to be too big even for the nation’s new, up-sized official portrait picture frames, of course. No way forward 4th August 2017 Some ‘international experts’ would have us believe that it is ‘inappropriate’ for a woman to receive and bring to birth, an embryo whose genes have been edited to remove a genetic defect. They are calling the possibility ‘playing god in an effort to create only the best children possible’. What’s wrong with that? And what is so wrong with playing god by the standards of people who lived thousands of years ago? And those of modern people who have the same mentality? Every medical intervention which prolongs or enhances a life is playing god by that definition; using antibiotics, cancer Feet On The Ground : “Xavier 5” 4 treatments, hip replacement, heart transplants, etc. There is nothing wrong with doing a spot of godding. Further, once it is known that something can be done, it will be done. Things cannot be uninvented. The anti-goddists say they are uneasy about carriers of deadly genetic conditions being branded ‘unfit’. So, with typical fanatics’ zeal, they would deny such people the chance to avoid passing on their defect. But that tends to be the trademark of the anti-goddist: no compassion, no pity, no mercy. There is one small note to gladden the heart of the anti- goddists, however: experience shows that break-throughs like this rarely fulfil their initial hype and things will be just the same as they are today decades hence. Death squads at the ready! 4th August 2017 When they get old, politicians become increasingly outrageous to get themselves noticed. Like a former London mayor, who is claiming that the president of Venezuela is letting his country sink in to chaos because he’s not killing everyone who disagrees with him. Further, the ex-mayor thinks that might just be a good solution for our problems here in Britain. Thus if we kill all our nation’s enemies, starting with the ex-mayor and the Bremoaners, we will solve our overcrowding problems at a stroke. And think of all the carbon dioxide production which will be avoided! The EU will love that. Time for a bonfire of dripping right-onness 5th August 2017 There really is something very wrong with the mentality of the luvvies in the quangocracy/charity sector. Like the ones running the National Trust, who have lost hundreds of vol- unteers and paying members by ‘celebrating’ sexual deviancy. Feet On The Ground : “Xavier 5” 5 Of course, there is no chance of the same bunch high- lighting the achievements (real or imagined) of people with other physical characteristics; green eyes, left-handed, one leg shorter than the other, etc. No, the only voice heard is that of the pushy luvvie minority. Divine retribution 5th August 2017 After gazing in wonder at all the RED on the weather map of Europe & North Africa in the paper on the first Saturday of the month, and the number of places with temperatures in the nineties Fahrenheit, or over 100 deg.F, and the sites of the major brush fires from Portugal to the Balkans, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that God is smiting the Europeons for being rotten to us. Danzig ist Deutsch; it says so on the stamps 5th August 2017 If Poland gets some billions of euros in WW II reparations from Germany, will the Germans be entitled to reclaim East Prussia, Pomerania and all the other former German bits currently occupied by the Poles? Fair’s fair, after all. Your mood is fixed by what you eat 5th August 2017 A study has found that veggies tend to be miserable gits because they can’t help it. Their diet deprives them of vitamins and minerals vital to mental health and a cheerful outlook. In fact, it is possible that a decision to go vegetarian could be a sign of a slump into accelerating depression. Feet On The Ground : “Xavier 5” 6 Scottish Gnat Problem Solved! 5th August 2017 I was watching the 1967 version of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale last night, and it occurred to me that a way to rid the world of Wee Burney Sturgeon would be to sit her down in front of the early part of this film; the bit where Bond goes to Scotland to console M’s widow. Having to listen to the excruciatingly bad Scottish accents; Olympic-level performances, really; and the truly dreadful mickey-taking at the expense of Scottish customs, would make Wee Burney explode with rage like an over-ripe tomato loaded with C4! Problem solved. Tell ’em any old crap and they’ll believe it! 6th August 2017 Something interesting I didn’t know about Princess Di: she fell in to the clutches of a New Age spiv, who ‘dignosed’ that she was suffering from lead contamination in her cheek. Di recalled breaking a lead pencil against her cheek at the age of 12! She was told that the residue of lead was having a detrimental effect on her health; and believed it. One small snag: ‘lead’ pencils are made with graphite and a binder of clay or some suitable substitute. No lead. On manoeuvres 6th August 2017 President Putin’s stunt double has been giving subscribers to Rainbow News a treat. He’s off doing the bare-chested fishing thing in the Siberian backwoods.
