Can you still find a view like this in Sydney? Very idyllic.

So you’re saying that the presence of foreigners in one’s country skews the political landscape against the interests of the native majority? Fancy that.

Thank you Pauline Hanson for not only delivering humour but also hard hitting facts during these cartoons. No wonder the media class hate them.

Great article on a nations identity. Nations will not fight for abstract values. Men fight for their families, their kin and the continuity of their own people.
Why should British men be expected to fight for a country whose political leadership appears embarrassed by and increasingly hostile to their national identity? For decades, Britons concerned about immigration, demographic transformation, cultural displacement, and the erosion of their national inheritance have been branded racists, far-right extremists, and even Nazis by the political establishment. They have been told to celebrate diversity, while their own desire for cultural continuity has been met with accusation and condemnation. They have been told that Britain belongs to the world, that their homeland is everyone’s homeland, and that their national identity is available to anyone who wishes to claim it. When the British people seek to preserve their own distinct identity, culture, and inheritance for future generations, their efforts are increasingly treated not merely as objectionable, but potentially criminal. And now, after decades of promoting a conception of Britain in which national identity is increasingly detached from ancestry, history, and inherited culture, the establishment wants its sons to prepare for war. caldronpool.com/p/britain-wa…

The “right wing” of Australia and the west try to always be so morally upright, so rule and law abiding, and so noble, yet they are playing against cheating opposition. They don’t afford us the same noble decency, sportsmanship or respect. The table is tilted. The game is rigged. The dice is loaded. Get with the programme you old conservatives and realise the left has won for the past 80 years and has destroyed everything. You have conserved and protected nothing about our past, our heritage or our culture.

You must risk rashness if you want to become courageous. Many have heard of Aristotle's idea that a virtue is the mean of two extremes (the deficiency and excess of the virtue leading to a vice on either side). But few know that, as explored n Chapter 9 of his Ethics, one vice is almost always more opposed to the virtue than the other. Because of this, he advises that if we must fail, we should lean toward the vice that is least contrary to the virtue. According to Aristotle, rashness (the excess) is closer to courage than cowardice/timidity (the defect). He notes that each of us is more prone to certain vices than to others, and that to correct our course, we must pull ourselves hard in the opposite direction—much like straightening a bent piece of wood—which often means deliberately aiming closer to the excess. A coward cannot become brave by remaining timid, but he can become courageous if, by pushing himself through his fear, he risks behaving rashly. Thomas Aquinas adopts and expands on this Aristotelian principle in his Summa Theologiae (First Part of the Second Part, Question 64, Article 2). Aquinas agrees that in human actions, the "mean" can practically sit closer to one extreme than the other, and confirms that courage is closer to audacity (rashness) than to timidity/cowardice.

Before our enrichment, we didn't need Armed Response Command at sporting events, places of worship and mass gatherings.

Watch this cricket commercial from 1983. Pakies and Windies were nicknames, like Aussies. youtu.be/KiihZCcYe5M?si=GPXy…
This is how it works. There's a huge irony here that I explain below. The following video is worth watching in full, it really shows how events unfolded: nitter.cf/LeftismForU/status/211…

Former Church of St Simon and St Jude, Surry Hills, just before demolition in 1928; and the same view today, now Harmony Park. There’s a plaque and photo where the church once stood.

Farage: "If those Restore supporters online see that we are the only vehicle, genuinely on the centre-right, that can beat the Labour Party and come back to us, then our polling will start to look very different, very quickly." Here's what Farage doesn't understand. We are not a "centre-right" party. Our voters are not "centre-right." The country was governed by the "centre-right" for 14 years, and they brought us to the brink of destruction. The "centre-right" are, in many ways, the greatest traitors of all. The Left are at least honest about their intentions towards us; the "centre-right" dress it up in a pinstripe suit and posh accent. But their ideology will still see us reduced to a hated and marginalised minority in our own homeland. You are not going to win our voters over by appealing to the "centre-right." We are radicals. We don't care what the "centre" thinks of us. In fact, we despise them. If Farage is serious about this, perhaps he should reconsider the offer we made him in August.

"Now, many will agree that there is something very wrong with the current state of our nation. An increasing number of Australians believe the country is on the wrong track, and they will even admit that this is largely due to the government’s immigration policies. They’ll acknowledge multiculturalism has divided our communities into nations within nations, that diversity has undermined national unity, and that the Australia we all know and love is at risk of being lost for good. But when it comes to offering a solution to that very visible problem, all we are given are meaningless platitudes and a lot of talk about some vague and arbitrary concept of “Aussie values.” Today we have just about everyone on the right of Labor talking tough about immigration reforms, but whenever they’re asked what they mean and what it will look like, it always comes back to a “values” test. Now, aside from the fact that no one is really able to define what these “Aussie values” are, or where these “values” originate, what we are effectively being told through their imagined “solution” is that the Anglo-Celtic people of Australia are inconsequential. We are being told that the descendants of Australia’s founding stock are unnecessary—that it doesn’t matter who inherits the house, provided they like Rugby, barbecues, and waving the Aussie flag. That is to say, we’re being told that Anglo-Celtic Australians are interchangeable. In other words, what they are saying is that if every Anglo-Celtic Australian were to be replaced by foreigners, the nation itself would remain the same, provided the new imports subscribed to 'Aussie values.' Of course, this is an absurd assertion, and its implications are untenable. Follow it to its logical conclusion, and you arrive at a definition of 'Australian' in which foreigners living in foreign nations can be considered more Australian than the descendants of Australia’s first settlers. Why? Because being Australian is no longer a matter of ancestry, heritage, or belonging, but of subscribing to whatever vague collection of 'Aussie values' happens to be fashionable at the time."

Philip Larkin was christened in Coventry's old cathedral (St Michael's Cathedral) in September 1922. The cathedral was destroyed in 1940.
