“How does a country make itself safe and productive?

Great Britain did it with Christianity—and by executing or imprisoning the worst males in every generation for hundreds of years.

By the 1960s, the country was so civilized that policeman carried nothing but a nightstick, everybody queued without a second thought, and newspaper [honesty] boxes were left unlocked on the high street.

Britain had become a so-called high trust society — less euphemistically, an honest society.

Something similar—without the Christianity—transpired in Japan.

What happens to such a country if it forgets how difficult that was to attain?

The Brits found out. And then denied it.”

  One of the UK’s problems is that it has untrammelled immigration. Turn up in a rubber boat and they’ll put you up at the Hilton, gratis.
  
  Perhaps the Royal Navy should simply machine gun a few rubber boats in the Channel, pour encourage les autres. Harsh, but every year many would-be migrants drown. Sending the message that the welcome mat has been withdrawn will save more lives than it would cost, in the long run.
  
  Alternatively, the UK could take a leaf out of Australia’s book. Every migrant and asylum seeker is promptly shipped to an offshore island for assessment. Ascension Is would do nicely.
  
  Either way, a country that is not in control of its borders is not really a country.

  Ah! So the solution to Britain’s woes are theocracy and mass executions? Like Iran?

    Did it offend your sensibilities to read the essay (I assume you actually did) that calls for justice to be done – there was no mention of return to theocracy so is your comment intellectual laziness or are you supportive of an establishment; parliament, councils, police and liberal society that put ideology ahead of natural justice just because perpetrator were Pakistani Muslims? The last paragraph provides a portent which most who have followed this tragedy will have already considered:
    “Continued suppression of the normative majority’s insistence that cultural norms be upheld—that is, that vicious, hate-motivated serial rapists face consequences—will do nothing but ensure that when the tide turns, it turns with a vengeance.”

  The Brits have had the ‘Boris Wave’ of mass migration. Something like 5 million people since 2020. A policy done to suppress wages and effectively has broken the social contract.

As mentioned on here before, I get fortnightly scam/spam emails which use a real friends name as the sender.
Friend is not sending them.
The emails come from a different international address each time.
They all say the same thing – photos for you or report of a recent but unspecified event.
I have enquired at various anti-online scam help groups as to what to do about this.
They don’t know. (Makes me wonder what they are funded for then.)
So I just block and delete.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of these pointless emails?
In other words, why are the senders bothering to do this?
They don’t ask for anything.
And family member got caught by this below a few weeks ago:

  apart from changing your email address, blocking is all you can do.
  
  Also check to make sure you weren’t part of any breach

  While I don’t recall any recently I have regularly received spam over the years purportedly from my own email address.
  
  I often wonder how that originates.
  
  The Viagra and `growing my penis’ ones that were so frequent 20 years ago have stopped though.
  
  Probably realised I was a lost cause.

And now it seems that Iran, along with any other interested country, could be smuggling Intelligence agents into Britain on the Channel dinghys.

This could be stopped very easily with Police and Military intervention, therefore it must be assumed that the open border is Government policy and the Government is hostile to British interests

Regardless of her politics, it was a great performance from Chloe on Q&A this morning.

Tova, however, looked rather flustered.
