Our thanks to Paolo for this video (31:41) of President Milei’s outstanding speech yesterday at the 55th WEF annual meeting. Milei starts speaking at 2:22. He is highly critical of the WEF, feminism, woke ideology, and so much more. He’s led off the stage by a women who thanks him, saying “… as everybody knows, this is an open and free platform…”. Comments on the video are turned off, predictably.

Apart from anything else its a miracle of concision covering a huge distance in just 30 minutes. Apart from everything else we should listen carefully to those from formerly rich and rapidly developing nations who trashed it all. As he said last year Argentina knows all too well how to get it wrong. As the Germans have found, no one has some divine right to continued prosperity … even the “economic engine of the EU” which even last year seemed to be able to prop up much of the continent through its manufacturing prowess. And now is in recession. Both in “western” Europe and north America “woke” as it it collectively called (just really various heresies spawned from Marxism) relies upon wealth creation “just happening” like a magic trick spun by “white” people and quite independent of the real world. “the economy” is not a thing, not a magic trick, it is a description of human activity… and if those humans decide to do less, have more time in leisure, to be consumers and produce little and to fund this by credit …. well eventually the party will be over. Milei knows this from the sad histories of Argentina and Uruguay and the southern states of Brazil. And even the rapid collapse oil rich of Venezuela.

Though a part of me is irked at an Argentinian pointing out our shameful “grooming gang” scandal. I hope this notoriety on the world stage will finally force some honesty and action on sorting out this stain on our nation. Though after decades or resistance and under our own “Party of the State” I’m thinking it will take a heck of a lot to see this isn’t buried yet again.

The football fiasco that exposes Labour’s growth hypocrisy A perfect example of Milei’s point. An Act and Regulator to control football. And it starts with finances and “governance” then as we read on it includes DEI targets. So with the regulator having the power to “redistribute” finances to achieve policy objectives, well one thing we’ll inevitably see is money channeled into “women’s football” rather than the myriad of small local football clubs that pepper the land, because they’re funded by their members and small businesses you know those oppressive patriarchs who are all powerful; men.

Thanks Nigel. The roots of this go back a long way. Heather Rabbatts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Rabbatts was a non-executive director of the FA when both os us were interviewed on Daily Politics by the hatchet-faced feminist ‘journalist’ Jo Coburn, the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcwfWEPg3t4. Rabbatts’s agenda – of parasiting the men’s game to fund the women’s game – was already explicit. I asked why there were no initiatives to ensure 50% of lorry drivers were women, and she was stunned into silence haha!
