  • Caught: Fascist agitator

    In an exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a fascist agitator has been seen on the Elizabeth Line in central London.

    He’s known for making extensive links between himself and like-minded individuals across the UK.

  • Exclusive: “Bath Estate”

    It’s not easy making sense of the news, and at times it’s helpful the news makes sense of itself. It can be clear because a news anchor tells us what happened, and why it matters. It’s a straightforward approach to finding things out and making sense of it that matters.

    In looking at the state of England, it can be difficult to put the pieces together. This is because the information is slow to get through, and at times there’s so much of it. To put it together is a job in itself, and it requires time, effort, and patience.

    The mysteries that we feel exist here are in some part explained by a group called “Bath Estate”. It’s difficult to pinpoint – or trace – where they are because they’ve spread out in different ways. As we know, at a certain age people go off to Uni, or move to a different job.

    This group started off in a very close knit community, and was small at first. In Bath, an historic city in the south of the country, a small group of disparate youths began to organise together. It wasn’t a “collective” in a generic sense of the term, but more of a politically active gang.

    They eventually spread out across the country, and more groups were set up under different names. This one remained the principal agitator, and two members of it were seen in central London yesterday. It’s axiomatic what they do is disruptive and harmful to our way of life.

    A visit I made some years back to their “home base”, as they called it, resulted in a quick getaway. In the altercation a young person reached for a DIY tool and swung it in front of my face. It was a sign I had to leave because I knew they engaged in hostility at close quarters.

    Their involvement is also difficult – but not impossible – to trace, into protest marches and riots, and other demonstrations. They’re a violent group but had other wishes in mind and started to employ slogans as taunts and made threats online and in person too.

    The eventual harm done was minimal, in their case, but only because their activities were followed closely. Their antisocial behaviour was local in nature, following their tactic of “skirmishes” that began and ended quickly. It meant it was difficult to smash, but eventually it separated.

  • Caught: Local agitator

    This man is suspected of creating local agitation over the course of many years. He was caught walking along a popular street in central Reading today.

    The focus of an investigation changes depending on circumstances or context. It’s necessary to catch long term suspects when it’s possible to do so.

  • A new leader, and a few steps back?

    The Scottish National Party – a firebrand nationalist outpost for Scottish independence – has elected its new leader in John Swinney, a relative unknown name in English politics.

    I say “unknown”, because most of the time Scottish politics has a job trying to trend in England with anything on the agenda unless it fits an agenda here.

    The election of a new leader peaks in daytime news, but its importance is left understated.

    It may also be beyond most who need to know just how far Scotland has edged toward independence.

    How does the election of John Swinney change the status quo is a question that we need to answer, because the future of the homegrown nationalist movement depends on it, and it’s answer is what we need to know.

    Yet, the general thread is that Scotland doesn’t really need to let us know anyway, does it? I mean, what would it matter if Scotland were independent tomorrow, for instance.

    Does it even ‘take place’ in England, at all?

    The issue of constitutional politics is a vast one, because it involves so many of us and all of the moving parts of state. It might be pointed out that Scotland is already there so what does it matter what it says about itself?

    It’s worth noting London is still there, as well, so it makes sense to scratch beneath the surface a lot deeper.

    I’m not familiar with his name either, but that’s not the game, is it?

    The point is that Swinney now has a chance to lead the SNP out of the doldrums and into something better than the hiring and firing which is what the SNP has done of late.

    The earlier days of the SNP with Alex Salmond at the helm having long since passed and without a face and a bit of name recognition to its credit, it struggles to make a case anymore.

  • A squatter’s nature

    It’s interesting where squatter’s put down their stuff, these days.

    The days of a patch of land or a disused residence are passing into the mists of time to allow for more upmarket, expensive real estate.

    The moving-in of squatting groups into restaurant/retail units in London for example that cost millions to rent, is an example of a more premium sort of activism that hopes to capitalise on location and clientele to get its point across.

    I’m sure if the squatters at the York & Albany in Camden had been successful, they would of passed over a few latte’s in favour of their cause (whatever it is, as it isn’t clear what anyone believes anymore when it’s so obvious). In actuality, they weren’t able to open their own cafe – however informal – for free.

    The rents are high if it’s the only place going on a plot of land which isn’t available anywhere else (at times, with views not seen everywhere else).

    The market is tight if it has to be just right, and this is a travail experienced by many who could just open up anywhere if they were given the same opportunities as the ‘eco-SAS’, who just seem to try it anywhere.

    However, those such opportunities don’t exist and the places where restaurants, hoteliers, and the like want to set down their roots are hard to come by. It appears the same is also true for the opportunists in our midst.
