One other day, one other information about local weather fanatics damaging or destroying one thing priceless. This morning, Simply Cease Oil protesters lined Stonehenge in orange powder paint. Wiltshire police arrest the 2 for vandalism, however everybody is aware of they will be out by midnight and a lenient decide will allow them to off.
Everybody will get redpilled some day for some purpose.

It isn’t simply impotence. It’s a guided decline, a delicate nod in the direction of cultural destruction.
At the very least one constructing can’t be saved, nor ought to it. The British Conservatives deserve the electoral carnage that’s coming. They’re abhorrent and from their full destruction an actual reactionary drive can come up.
