Racism is a broad term for hatred
The ‘racist’ debate is no more than a contest to self-identity as a Good Samaritan in UK society.
The anonymous street protests shouting their grievances at us are not forthcoming as to their character.
It’s the same in Parliament, where a majority of MP’s are not able to get across who they are for the sake of their work and also a lack of airtime.
The real problem is in knowing who the racists are in any part of society to keep ourselves safe.
The Prime Minister calls Reform UK’s policies racist, knowing that they are in fact in and of themselves just ideas.
The real problem is hatred and yet this is routinely ignored.
It’s present in Parliamentary exchanges and replete throughout the Civil Service. It’s found in all Public Services and is faced daily in many schools and colleges across the country.
The leaders of our main parties are not racists. This has been proved by Police investigations.
It’s the hatred in any citizens as it’s felt and shown that is the real enemy to our way of life.

Russia looks inwardly – for a moment
For a brief moment Russia looked inwardly this last week. Following a set of regional elections, President Putin addressed the newly elected candidates. His message was plain and simple. He wants them to focus on the life of the ordinary Russian. He expects good livings standards for everyone. He regards their performance in office as vital to the success of this plan.
“Overall, creating comfortable, favourable environments for living, working, self-fulfilment, and leisure. Not just in regional capitals, but also in small towns and rural areas. All this serves to unlock human potential, the potential of regions as a whole, and ultimately strengthens our country, ensuring its sustainable, confident development.”
It’s a message eerily reminiscent of Soviet Russia, but it has the effects of modernity. He’s placing trust in power and in processes that flow from the Kremlin. He’s seeking to excite his new leaders – or warriors on the frontline of the Russian state – to see their corporate aims as the highest good for the country. It’s not easy as over a million Russians have now died in their pointless war, but the belief is there at least.

Badenoch needs to step up
The demise of support for the Conservatives happened under a Prime Minister that sought a populist agenda. This is not the sort that is breaking news in America, but the kind that’s noticed here. It comes up in meetings and it becomes the context of government work. The trouble is it’s not popular.
The tendency of Conservatives to come out with weird ideas hasn’t abated. The majority of proposed policy is conspiracy theory wrapped up in the moment. It’s for the crowd out in the cold. It’s for those who wish for just a slither of a vision. This isn’t real politics.
The notion that something new is the arrival of a solution is old hat stump canvassing. It can’t live beyond the odd front door that will hear no more of it after it’s shut. The real driver of change is change itself. The message gets through that efficiency is improving and problems are resolved over time.
This builds voter confidence. It seeds trust in politics. It makes elections winnable. The task ahead is for Badenoch to prove that she’s capable of doing something different herself. It’s not an appeal but an objective. It’s in the form of a broad directive. It’s a final notice on laziness. It’s a check on apathy.

Hamas is not recognised here
While a recognition in principle of a second state is admirable for those who follow the news, at this time only Hamas stands to gain from the announcement to Palestinians by the Prime Minister yesterday.
The fierce war Israel is having to fight is similar to the one on our doorsteps. The surfacing of terrorists here to bomb us is only the tip of an iceberg. There’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. The work of counter terrorism policing is so vast it’s now a separate discipline.
There is still further fear about its manifest effects elsewhere. Lord Goldsmith is a frequent spokesperson for the position that Islam is being riled by the false activism of the violent few. He writes on X to this effect.
However, his fear of “radical Islamist” MP’s is unfounded. The real threat is terrorism that can get anywhere. The spread of Hamas’ propaganda – and operatives – has come at a price while its claims are fraudulent and harm the peace process itself.

Revealed: Russia’s long cold war
The Russia that we know of is not as historical as we presume, that’s if your dealings with it are purely on its modern terms. The Presidency of Russia is known as technically advanced for example, and it has a tight grip on the Russian people. Its level of control is far higher than in other Western democracies.
However, the Russian state itself is still riven with desires for older times or more brutal control. There are competing factions that want different forms of Presidency, but these are ideals for a dictatorship and not a more open rule.
The rumours swirl around the Kremlin, the seat of its power, that Putin has faced tumultuous times in his terms. These include his family disappearing from view, attempts at takeover, and internal conflict. This is not flattering for an administration of public relations.

Jeffrey Epstein is a distraction
It’s the format of News Journalism right now to ‘get to know’ a pervert over a public figure. It’s led to the spread of ignorance. We don’t understand our times. We know less about our leaders.
It can’t be so that a dead obsessive has more to say to us than a living example. Yet, sadly, in News Journalism we’re often told so. The other sadness is that once they’re gone, it’s too late.
In his way Charlie Kirk proved useful to a lot people in a lot of different walks of life but it didn’t dissuade the perpetual coverage. It never does. It’s a menace that brings drama, and also plays the victim.

We can’t have every protest
The protests people have against injustice have a tendency to spill over now. It’s not a new radicalism that’s baying at the steps of legislative houses, but a deep discontent about life and corruption of power.
The scourge of bad tempered reactions to delay or deception in political office is flaring up right in front of us. It’s justified by the Left and Right, and yet leaves us bereft of answers, or ways forward.
A state of revolt in Brazil, discord in Thailand, and strong emotions in Nepal expose the frailty of governance in the context of freedom. But it also demonstrates that some have bad intentions toward our legislatures. It becomes a threat to us all if it’s real.

The CCP is not our ally
The Chinese Communist Party is not a bedfellow of the West.
It can’t be. Its entire focus is on its place in China and the place China can occupy in the world.
This isn’t democratic or even diplomatic.
It’s a state of affairs that exists for one nation. The limits of it are for the Chinese, and a proverbial exclusion zone is for the rest us.
This makes it a difficult state of affairs for other nations.
Many have reported feeling dejected because they couldn’t make trade inroads. Such a loss of economic riches is a bitter feeling, for sure, but it’s also inevitable.
The largest State on earth isn’t open for business to everyone in exactly the same way it seeks to benefit out of it for and by itself.
In a way Chinese trade and economic activity is straightforward.
However, it’s managed by a vast party under the powerful control of a few.

Putin is aiming for a perfect settlement
Russia says its invasion of Ukraine is to stop a threat to its own national security. However, it’s not just a violation of sovereign territory, but it’s also a call for the cessation of a democratic Ukraine. To many Ukrainians, democracy is still new there and it threatens it.
Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says the Russian invasion is a national security effort. It’s accepted the uncertainty of it is far removed from the problems of other Western powers. The bombardment isn’t like a volley of awkward questions from reporters. It’s more of a fundamental test of resolve. It challenges – and reshapes – national character.
Putin’s challenge in the effort is a zero-sum game in his eyes. He doesn’t see compromise as necessary to a victory, and agreements may threaten to diminish potential outcomes. It’s a war of perfect returns. He wants a safer Russia and this is how he gets it.

Farage is not there yet
The US staging of Nigel Farage’s platform is not indicative of its substance. It’s not about a case that people don’t have free speech in the UK.
It’s confusion over the arrests of people at random for doing next to nothing. It makes the country feel less safe for many more.
The lack of a more sensitive approach is now telling. It doesn’t figure that a single MP has the position to bring down the State. This is an overreaction. The many types of arrest are the same.
The need now is to maintain a position of leadership in each walk of life. These are separate and it matters they’re kept so. The Police have yet to justify their overall argument. They just keep making it.
The pursuit of a public debate is a slight oxymoron in itself. Farage is free to say he isn’t free, and this states he is. The problem is he feels less support now if he discusses sensitive issues.

Old antisemitism dies hard
The rhetoric of many politicians is now concerning. They don’t care about the Holocaust. They don’t care about the Jewish state. They don’t care about Jewish people. They only care about ambition to rule. It’s the same sort of antisemitism.
There are new forms. There are new hatreds. There are new techniques. However, we have to suffer with the old league for a while longer. They seek to dominate the narrative. They try to blemish reputations. They repeat harsh phrases.
The future is more complex. It’s more difficult. It’s more dangerous. There are advance forces at work. There are aggressive groups in subterranean networks of crime. Many militaries are hate addicts. Many political wannabes are ignorant.
