Thanks for your typically lucid examination of a complex and fraught set of issues. There are parallels over here across the pond, some quite strong. Funny that your NHS served as the vector- correct me if I’m wrong - for the Cass Report, which promises to restore a measure of sanity to the adolescent gender-transition issue even here, where we seem to specialize in unhinged extremist rhetoric. The American right has taken notice and gotten enough mileage out of it already to throw the other side onto the defensive. Now I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop and have someone point out the odd fact that a nationalized health system has responded to a legitimate effort to examine the issue in a way that our beloved for-profit system has not. Stay tuned!

To be fair to Lisa Nandy, when she said "the culture war is over" she didn't mean that literally; more akin to "the new government will seek compromise and consensus on culture-war issues rather than draw dividing lines." Which is a reasonable approach to take.

Yes, perhaps I should have been fairer to Nandy!

The 'light financial market regulation thing is complete nonsense. Blair's FSMA2000 Act introduced Draconian levels of utterly unaccountable regulationism onto financial services and moved banking supervision from the B of E to the FSA. I have an FS business and I said at the time that that would fail. Blair then used this system to massively and unwarrantedly to expand money and credit leading to an unsustainable land price boom and a hollowing out of the productive industry. This 'light regulation' meme is the Big Lie.

When I wrote that, I had US developments (e.g. the repeal of Glass-Steagall) in mind.

Culture issues stand for our defending who we are in our civilization and as human beings. Progressives have laughed all the way to the bank, with generous bankster funding, in their easy success at the dismantling of our understanding of ourselves as made with dignity in the image of God.

Challengers to new constantly evolving norms have been bullied without mercy and all societal institutions, including and maybe especially the religious, have been intentionally infiltrated over the past 100 years. They have successfully brainwashed do-gooders who lead with emotional weight to be their soldiers in the culture reformation. We should remember the old expression that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This has occurred with increased momentum with the intention of reshaping the mold of humanity to serve the darwinian and eugenicist luciferians who look at the masses with contempt and wish to return after this life as viruses to decimate the worlds population. They wish to have free use of the multitudes they deem expendable after their usefulness has been depleted.

Their business plan foreseen being the reinstallation of a feudal system worldwide, managed with constant technological surveillance by the unlimited use of technology, with the help of digital id and banking, and the unlimited power that the oligarchical rulers will have over everyone. With the culture war won by them the people will submit to their slavery willingly and with a sense of moral satisfaction.
