Canadian, Tory, somehow found my way onto Bluesky and am now trapped here. Interested in military history, COIN, foreign military training, jihadism, the KPA, and many others.

Also this taxonomy is good baseline for understanding police, and in particularly the difference between armed police (swat) and stability police (riot cops)
"Perito and Bayley ... also distinguish six types of police officers: uniformed general, non-uniformed criminal investigators, stability police, armed units, covert intelligence agents, and border police."

Incidentally, the complaint that there are “no Italian bars” is downright weird (see fig. 1). Maybe he’s SO racist that he just doesn’t understand the name?

All in all, it’s no surprise that the only welcome this friendless freak finds extended to him in Soho is in the offices of one of the world’s most famous white supremacist nutters.

“Freshies”: recent immigrants. London is always full of recently arrived immigrants as they have always been an integral part of it, but now Britain’s piss-drenched inadequates and nazis feel emboldened to loudly resent & hate this innocuous everyday fact.

As for mentioning that Soho has “no gay clubs”, it’s unclear whether he knows about Soho’s many gay establishments, but their absence would feed the myth of “Sharia no-go areas” and pandering to sinister Muslims, so it goes in.

Roadmen: young black men. Are they selling drugs? Maybe, and that’s yet more cast-iron evidence of a sinister and extremely racialised conspiracy. What happened to the cheery white drug dealers of yesteryear?

Ice cream parlours: frequented largely by Muslim kids because they can’t go to pubs. This is obviously incredibly sinister as it’s an integral part of the Great Replacement, and George Soros probably likes ice cream.

Vape shops: the idea that vape shops are run only by immigrants, or the descendants of immigrants, or people who are civil to immigrants. All of this is sinister and viscerally disgusting to the true obsessives.

The key is "yookay". It’s the conspiracy theory that sinister Great Replacementists deliberately refer to "the UK" rather than "Greatest Britannia" or whatever because they want white people to forget their heritage.

Fascinating to break this down and understand what stage of brainworms the Spectatorati are at now.

The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:
To fix the BBC, focus on competence and cash
Corporation fails to learn from criticism, while politicians have consciously reduced its scope for quality journalism
