Boadicea's Chariot

Queen – Play the game

Critical of others he thinks islamophobic, one blogger on MyT asked for some positive suggestions as to how the ‘problem’ might be dealt with. It was apparent that the ‘problem’ required some clearer definition.

In my response I suggested that the problem was largely about identity. Whereas immigrants and there British born offspring have a strong culture that tells them who, and what, they are, the indigenous population has been denied this because native British cultures have been consciously eroded to promote ‘multiculturalism’. Whereas the common cry from the left was ‘all cultures are equally valid’, they actually adopted negative positions against the native cultures, and positive positions towards those of immigrants. As a result, the alien cultures grew in strength and confidence, while the British cultures were weakened. This has led to some nervousness and antipathy in the indigenous population.

That is how I would describe the problem. Continue reading “The Cultural Problem”

Araminta

This comes after due reconsideration of your second paragraph; you deserve a better answer because you are one of only a very small number of people [and please, this is not just to flatter you] with a sufficiently clear and logical mind to understand and analyze the situation.

Boadicea never owned the Site that you refer to because Bravo fully owns it already. Bearsy lost control over the Site after Bravo’s very first Post; both of them will of course deny this but when it got through to Bearsy he “passed ownership” to Boadicea; that was just in name, however. Bearsy “wanted out” but had to save face; so they did it this way.

Bravo effectively controls the Site already and it is only a matter of time before Boadicea goes.

I reckon I can prove this to you if you are interested. Do let me know.

Meantime go well.

So, Boa, now you know. Although you think you are in control of your own blog, but, really, the evil Svengali has it in my clutches. And whacko Jakoo is going to prove it to Araminta. I’m sure we’re all waiting with bated breath.

Araminta, do stop winding these people up, there’s a nice lady.

Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

I have never been a great one for watching television. When living in England my viewing was confined to the news programmes, comedy series and documentaries. Of this last category, one of my favourite presenters was David Attenborough. He was unobtrusive, a voice-over adding to what was happening on the screen with interesting detail. The programme was not about him, but about the topic. That situation appears to have changed.

Last night, I watched part of a documentary on silverback gorillas. I did not catch the name of the presenter, but he worked in the Attenborough mode, allowing one to study the gorillas without distraction. I then switched to BBC 1 to watch something called ‘Secret Britain’. What a contrast! The camera was dominated by the two presenters, particularly by the woman. Spending all of two or three minutes on the ‘secret’, the pair were pictured walking from one spot to another, speaking directly into camera or standing to admire the view being described. The producers of this shallow tripe clearly thought the viewer would be more interested in watching the behind of the female presenter as she walked, than in the view she was there to present. This was straight egovision, and uninteresting for it.

WORLD SURVEY BY PHONE

In a nutshell……

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN.

The only question asked was:

“Could you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

The survey was a massive failure because of the following:

1. In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” meant.

2. In Western Europe they didn’t know what “shortage” meant.

3. In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant.

4. In China they didn’t know what “opinion” meant.

5. In the Middle East they didn’t know what “solution” meant.

6. In South America they didn’t know what “please” meant.

7. In the USA they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant.

8. In Canada they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
