  • Constitutional collapse in the ‘UK’: Devolved elections 2026

    Tony Blair: Architect of Chaos

    Tony Blair, previously a barrister specialising in employment and commercial law before arriving at his destination of Prime Minister, leader of the Labour (labour = work in normal talk) Party, won the 1997 general election under the promise of, ‘New Labour, Britain deserves better.’ ‘Better’ was to decentralise power in the ‘UK’ and begin legislation for a Scottish Parliament of its own, and a Welsh Assembly of its own. The 1998 establishment of this new chaos in Northern Ireland was even more chaotic but the Stormont Parliament was put together. He did not stop there. Big cities were granted their own ‘constitution’ too in direct elections for their own mayors, thus creating many, many new constitutional arrangements within the ‘UK’. (Nothing for Cornwall or the Kingdom of Galloway though).

    Why Wales would have merely an Assembly and Scotland a Parliament was already a constitutional conundrum of the highest order. Why big cities would have a mayor, (maybe to emulate the completely different societal history of France, only added to the constitutional conundrum of the ‘UK’.

    This blog is about the societal arrangements of the human under the governance of Grian (old Irish), howl (old Cornish), Helios, and beyond any names, the physical facts of Earth as a spinning mass of rock in a vast space, held in place by Helios and gravity. How does the function of governance work technically, for survival of a species, as compared with all life forms within the atmosphere on Earth and human societies since the last Ice Age?

    All life forms on Earth apart from the human still adhere to the same requirements and responsibilities for their societies. The human shows as the extreme divergence from reality in the devolved powers elections of May 2026 in the ‘UK’. The fact that it was a commercial and employment lawyer, who would have had to read the fine technicalities of a contract or a scenario, set in motion such a monumental collapse of structure is beyond rational belief. The meeting of the Cult of the Personal, the Cult of the Individual shows in the starkest relief. To ‘give’ power to the regions and the cities (apart from Cornwall and Galloway) in the expectation that ‘they’ would ‘love’ Tony Blair and his team of Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson, and love the Labour Party is the constitutional proof that the ‘UK’ on exists in inverted commas, ‘Westminster Parliament’ only exists in inverted commas, and in Britain and Eire (geography so no inverted commas needed there), there is no coherent government or governance to be found.

  • Astronauts back on Earth. What’s the next step for mankind?

    Saturday 11th April, the Independent newspaper’s New York correspondent reported that ‘Astronauts who went further into space than any other humans have returned to Earth after a dramatic re-entry and splashdown near San Diego. All four will become instant space celebrities and help humans understand their existence. For two, however, their mission took on a special journey as they became the first Black man and first woman to go to the moon.’

    Mmm… From the Logical perspective, this is all very problematic. Where to start? Perhaps in unfolding order, because this is all so very illogical. To return to Earth in a dramatic re-entry, this is merely lucky given how many times the Artemis II ‘mission’ was delayed from serious technical faults. Technical faults in an old Morris Minor were solved by a man in a workshop looking in various drawers for the right screw size, and sorting it there and then. The exciting dramatic re-entry could have been the opposite of a dramatic death. A splashdown from a spacecraft is not fair in the stress caused to fish and whales and seagulls whose brains have remained, and will remain, in Reality.

    What is an instant space celebrity? Is that why they went on the mission, to become a celebrity and to have hours of air time describing their emotions as they disappeared behind the Moon, and came round again? Professor of Astrophysics at Oxford (the once heavyweight centre of knowledge for 100s of years) Chris Lintott, told the BBC, “The value of the images coming back from Artemis and its crew is artistic, not scientific.” So is Prof. Lintott changing Departments at the (once) venerable University of Oxford, into Art & Digital Design, and will the artistic images sent back by the crew be nominated for the big art prizes of the world?

    This blog holds in great interest the knowledge from the pre-Socratics of Miletus, who knew a very great deal about astronomy a long time before western knowledge thinks it began, and when the humans had their feet on the ground with the eyes looking upwards, and life was not luxurious enough to think human existence was anything other than what it is (and still is, looking from Logic). Which is outwith any human ken (in latitude 55′-56’N talk). In plain English, that means irrelevant to waste time thinking about.

    Alas the totalitarian social sciences have got a foot in the spacecraft door and achieved their highest and further ever measurement, now of melanin level in the skin and sex, with melanin given a capital ‘B’. The female was not given a capital ‘W’, nor the two white males (whatever white means), given a capital ‘W’. The social scientists have triumphed. How long before an autistic person is rounded up to go on Artemis III? A person who uses a wheelchair? In the name of inclusion a menopausal woman, to show the white male dominated realms of science have been smashed?

    So after all the false starts, the millions and billions spent to get those beautiful artistic images, what is the next step for mankind? Between 1968-1972 the American Apollo mission resulted in 12 astronauts (humans in spacesuits) physically standing on the surface of the Moon, and this is put under knowledge, not art. Artemis III has already been stated to not be contemplating a human actually on the Moon, but Artemis IV is the intended human on the Moon, with the old fashioned can by then kicked so far down the old fashioned road that it never needs to be proved.

    What is the next step or steps for mankind? Where are we going (in modern parlance)? What is it all about? Just like the public sector of the ‘UK’ which is so completely uncountable, modern scientific knowledge is following the same course and economy, resources, and ‘individual centred’ both Illogical and completely crazy. Is this the furthest western human behaviour has ever travelled from common sense?

  • Knowledge of the Ancients: Pliny the Elder, (23-79CE), on British farming and the Iran oil crisis

    Knowledge of the Ancients as opposed to Wisdom of the Ancients has therefore been shown as different. There is not a neat available definition of Knowledge of the Ancients, nor of Ancient Knowledge, probably because knowledge is self explanatory. Knowledge of the Ancients and Ancient Knowledge, they hang together around Knowledge as opposed to Wisdom, and Ancient Knowledge is the general term for knowledge passed down through generations. Knowledge, generations, these words are all related to human and societal practices over genetic millennia or centuries at least, for it to become knowledge.

    For the purpose of this purely pagan blog this is good, because humans habit in, or inhabit, on an Earth based existence, and more than that, their generations before have gained their knowledge from centuries and millennia on the same region of land, hence the knowledge, because knowledge comes from observing the land, the the majestic rising and setting of Helios overhead. It does not actually matter who goes around who, but we know that it is Earth which spins around Helios, but either way, knowledge is needed for Earth based existence. Ancient Knowledge is Knowledge on and of the land, for survival basically.

    So Knowledge of the Ancients, which is ancient, is by a human and yet it is what is known which is that useful knowledge. It is and it is not paradoxical. It is both. Pliny the Elder was a human, yet it is his astonishing depth and breadth of geography, natural history, minerals and metals, ethnography and societal practices in the lands around the Roman Empire, both within and outside its frontiers which is the knowledge and information. He is no longer in physical, but the knowledge he imparted does remain. And because knowledge is based on fact, or physical and material reality (which this blog does include psychic phenomena because it is factual and real) how can Pliny the Elder connect with British farming and the Iran oil disruption chaos of 2026?

    In Pliny’s day, the first century CE, he would not now know what we are talking about if we said oil disruption due to American aggression in Iran. Pliny in his wide travels, observation, enquiry and knowledge might well have known of Iran, or Iranshahr, as the natives of the region called themselves. He would well have known the Persians, as called by Greeks and Romans, a constant presence and worry to successive Emperors on the eastern borders.

    Pliny the Elder, born in Italy into the new and optomistic Roman Empire and dying in the eruption of Vesuvius 79CE, when in his official capacity and acting with the bravery which men of service possess, going ashore to enquire of the situation and to reassure terrified citizens. The eruption of Vesuvius was way bigger than any human knowledge, plans, intention, ability, or biology, and a man of great cognitive capacity, experience and observation died along with all other biology, as all biology does under superior forces of Earth or Helios.

    In the unfortunate loss of his many other works, the Natural History remains, and contains a vast range of knowledge, knowledge, not wisdom. Pliny in Book XVII, on Aboriculture, states how the tribes of Britain and Gaul use seaweed as fertilizer and how effective this is. Gaul, modern day France, has a very, very long coastline. Britain, with our complicated geography has an even longer coastline, and therefore even more seaweed.

    In 2026, these few months into the year and the global disruption from the unexpected rush to war over no one is quite sure what, other than the USA is going in hard to a completely different geographical and cultural region, and way of ‘doing business,’ several nutshells have stood out loud and clear. Well, to this writer anyway. One is the stated anxiety within the ‘UK’ that British farming will soon be in crisis because it cannot get the fertilizers needed to …. fertilize the farming land of Britain. Was there ever such a strange juxtaposition?

    It is about 2,000 years since Pliny the Elder put together his comprehensive Historia Naturalis, compiling the intricacies of Ancient Knowledge of human and land. The completeness of human on land, survival over seasons and cycles, years and years, going into 100s, going into millennia, it is a wondrous thing. And Pliny certainly thought so.

    In this nutshell of British farming and the oil crisis in Iran, if this were to be explained to someone like Pliny of how it came to be seen as a problem, what would we say? All the centuries through to somewhere around 1815 when trade had opened up and cheaper imports were available, still of the sea kelp and other seaweed to reduce down for that potash and soda ash, to nutrient rich, but cheaper, British farms used what was plentifully available, and from the ancient knowledge of those who were born, lived, and worked the land and shorelines. That is less than 200 years ago.

    Fast forward another 100 years, and the new world of ‘science,’ and the departure from the real facts of life, the logical way of living, and the cheap, synthetic, fake, chemical fertilizers were offered as an alternative. The devil incarnate. To manufacture the phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen based fertilizers, which sound so natural but are not, requires the use of fossil fuels, oil and natural gas. The chemical process is way above this writer’s ken, and a nutshell does not have space to contain the chemical formulas, mining extraction processes, all the heavy equipment used to create those cheap synthetic chemical fertilizers. How it is all extracted, formulated into a synthetic and toxic fertilizer, shipped to the ‘UK’, and poured onto the land must be a very complicated and energy consuming process. But the end point is cheaper and easier. But than what we ask?

    It is a surprise at finding there is any link at all between British farmland and Iran. Under common sense, if the same materials are still in situ around the same coastlines of Britain as Pliny wrote of 2,000 years ago, and which had existed for at least another 7,000 years before after the melting of the last Ice Age, and the Ancient Knowledge holding as true as ever had been, why is there any crisis in Britain?

    Why has leadership in Britain allowed such a divergence? Why can the government not communicate with all coastal County Councils, including Cornwall (who is not devolved and why not?), Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to ask who still hold this Ancient Knowledge? There must be a few crofters on the far reaches of Western Isles and Scotland who still live by traditional methods. Why are government officials not hot footing it out to find those people, to ask them, to look to common sense and gratitude in the abundance which lies around us? Why is there not a module inserted into the curriculum of all secondary age pupils on which seaweeds to recognise, how to pick, how to reduce down, how to spread on the land? In the sad facts of State -v- biology in the ‘UK’, the chaos caused in Iran does not have a clearer focus than this. Probably the government has started a billion pound research programme, which will take 10 years, and never deliver (the information, not the seaweed to fertilizer). Meanwhile, ancient cultures retain their link over millennia of old to young, young become old, pass old to young, and if anything this crisis is showing, it is who has the right to opinionate, and who doesn’t.

  • Wisdom of the Ancients: Pliny the Elder (23-79CE) on British farming and the Iran oil crisis.

    What does Wisdom of the Ancients mean? According to the Collins Dictionary, Ancient Wisdom is “pre-Christian knowledge, philosophy and beliefs.” That is two words where the definition encompasses an enormous plethora of combinations and confusions. Some knowledge will have stayed the same, like Helios rises and sets, and that humans need food and water to survive, and other philosophies and beliefs will have morphed into (way too) many since the contrived and cobbling together of the (very many) appropriated images and metaphors to create ‘Christianity’ in the early centuries of the CE.

    Wisdom of the Ancients refers therefore to humans as the focus, it is the wisdom of ‘them.’ Seagulls, earthworms, limpets, snails, lions, beavers, mountain goats, whales and spiders have Wisdom of the Ancients and Moderns, because there is no division in time for them, other than how to deal with the modern human behaviour. There is no Collins Dictionary definition of Wisdom of the Ancients (Collins being a factual and historical publishing house with fine post WWII offices in 13-14 St. James Street, London W1, just as the other real publishers also had houses round about so folks could meet and discuss. Internet screens are not based on anything of any real substance, including this one). When a modern human refers to Wisdom of the Ancients, it is therefore a contrived term, a new-agey kind of catch all for high and divine mystical knowledge derived from any tradition you want it to, regardless of your own culture, ethnicity (genetics of the parents), factual knowledge of those other cultures from having spent time on the ground, or how often you might change your mind and pick and mix another one.

    That short rant over, and having clarified it to itself, this blog post will start again, using the better term of ‘Knowledge of the Ancients.’

  • The far-right and the far left in the ‘UK’… or, far right out of politics altogether?

    Under the principles of Archimedes where opposites balance equally, how does this apply to the political situation of the ‘UK’ in 2026?

    Public discourse in political and left wing media talk refers to the far-right, with its own hyphen, plenty of analysis, and BBC programmes, as within the bounds of politics, but a dangerous extreme, some feral group of people who are a real danger to politics and society. As such people are a material part of a human society, existing as it does, as it has to, on the surface of the spinning Earth, how do directions of left and right sit within the principles of Archimedes where two different mediums inevitably balance within the greater whole. For Archimedes it was a container of water, for the terms left and right in the ‘UK’ the container is the political syste.

    As there is a term of far-right, what is the opposite? The term far-left is not in daily parlance, instead things like left wing extremism, anti-capitalism, or the Communist, Marxist, Socialist Workers Party are the very left, and are clear in the equal and opposite to ‘all things right’. Militant left rarely is used these days, although the effects of the obstructive efforts of trades unions pervades all of industry, and the Militant Tendency, the Trotskyist group within the Labour party in 1964 does not now make headlines. Instead the very left, including all those who demonstrate and state views of social matters, Gaza, ‘UK’ politics, welfare state cuts, and all things which look to the right of centre, push into politics, that the government and the State will solve everything.

    The far-right could be seen as the opposite, but in reverse direction, facing out of the political system far, far away, into a much more basic and simple societal organisation, and of course more aligned with the real facts, which are the basic and simple societal organisation permitted by Earth and its tiny few miles of life below and above the surface of this spinning ball of rock in the infinite universe.

    The very left political folks, who might be called anarchists or people wishing to overthrow capitalism government in the ‘UK’, equally go far, far left, and out of politics altogether. What if the far, far-right set off east, and the far, far-left set off west, and in opposite directions went all the way around the world (because we are on a spinning mass of rock, held in place by the power of Helios, the light, the warmth, the gravity), were not allowed to fight when they passed each other the other side of Earth, and came back to meet in the ‘UK’? There is not much natural space left now with the population increased from 50million in 1950 to c.70 million in 2026, the concrete spreading daily, and the high rise flats going into the sky, but there would be somewhere on the coast in mid latitudes where venison is plentiful and still some fish in the sea, a fresh water supply and lots of trees down in the storm useful to build houses.

    The meeting point again of extreme right and extreme left then might sit easily together, having left the political realm altogether and arrived in the post-political ‘UK’ and where a simple and practical human grouping could be formed, with a flag of their choice on the town gates, and a life blissfully free of political definitions.

  • Just Stop Oil…!

    This is the name of the ‘UK’ protest organisation, ended in 2025 by court action with lots of them now in prison, and a lot of disruption to society caused by actions of blocking roads, etc.

    The Just Stop Oil protest group does not want any more licences granted for fossil fuels extraction, which are the coal and gas and oil, formed over millions of years and lying peacefully in the Earth until a few hundred years ago. Humans have of course been mining for millennia, hence the Chalcolithic era away from Neolithic farming where only stone, wood, antler, or anything else to hand was used, and into the Bronze Age and the Iron Age….and on and on the scale of development away from the true facts of existence it went.

    Looking from the top of the wobbling ladder of 2026, with pretty much everything in the industrial-dependent world made out of something which requires fossil fuels or at least something in the machinery which made the goods, and add in plastic which is pretty much everything these days, and liquid paraffin which is in a lot of cosmetics, even apart from the obvious of transport and heating of domestic and office life, it is a relevant question to ask of what exactly is the relationship of the western world to oil?

    Just Stop Oil sounds a sensible slogan, if the extraction of fossil fuels is doing damage, which everyone knows it is, or anyone remotely observant of the natural world knows it is. To just stop extracting oil would mean that soon-ish, given the rate of consumption by the industrialised and consuming humans, all the existing goods and transport options will run out and everything will Just Stop because there is no Oil.

    Do the Just Stop Oil protesters mean that nothing is based on fossil fuels, and that will inevitably mean we slide back to somewhere about 1750 CE before coal came into industrial production, or just that an equivalent lifestyle of modern times is available from not using fossil fuels? If there were no oil used the protesters would have no transport to arrive at the disruption sites, no glue to stick themselves to fences, no clothes to wear and no food or drink while out on protests, but of course if there were no oil in western society there would be no need to protest in the first place.

    With Trump’s catastrophe in the Middle East, where clearly no cartographer ancient or modern was consulted, the reverse situation of oil is high in the news, panic in case the supply becomes unavailable, and the sudden rise in price because paradoxically it becomes a valuable commodity, liquid gold indeed it is. Everyone actively wants it now.

    It’s a really strange relationship the western humans have with their goods and society and view of Helion, Earth and gravity. The failing soil in even the fertile latitudes of mid Britain and the dried up and polluted chalk streams and water courses still have an inkling of life in them, and walking on the earth are thousands of venisons and rabbits, grey squirrels and pigeons, and vegetables still grow and fruit trees produce apples, and there are a few fish around the one teeming waters.

    Confusing it is that President Trump began his rule by speaking of America consumes what America produces, and the relief to many around Earth (the spinning mass of rock with a tiny atmosphere enabling a fragile life) that someone was talking about limitations onto society instead of endless promises, it is very hard that the same person now apparently sheds all reason and puts the equivalent of the nuclear under the very ancient lands of what the west calls the Middle East.

    The ‘UK’ Labour Party are disintegrating in the polls (the whole network of political paraphenalia connected to democracy, which itself is collapsing in rationale and in practice) but if an edict was sent out of a National Self-Sufficiency Week, somewhere into May or June when the tilt of Earth’s axis in the spinning System of the Sun, itself in the vast galaxy called the Milky Way, brings Light and warmth to the northern hemisphere, to live with no fossil fuels at all for a quarter lunar cycle, preferably the half cycle around the Full Moon to add some cheer to what would be a miserable week for all those who do not remember 1750, and a hard week for all of us because much physical work would be required and much organisation at a very local level. But at least the night would be for sleep, and there would be no news coverage of the real apocalypse of cultural and political and consumption expectation going on and going who knows where.

  • Planet Earth in Orbit – the Vernal Equinox March 20th

    Far above the human activity on Earth, all is well in the celestial spheres and Spring comes to the northern hemisphere once again.

    This pagan blog is written within 54′-56’N, and the inhabitants of these lands and islands of Britain and Eire-land breathe a sigh of relief that the wet winter is behind, and from the security of Helios and gravity and the tilt of Earth on its orbit giving us the beauty of seasonal change at this latitude. Those in 54′-56’S of course have the equal and opposite because that’s what equations do, they have to balance, and Earth balances perfectly within the greater cycles allocated by Helios and gravity.

    Alban Eilir, or Ostara, the balance of Night and Day, when the Light of the Sun returns to our half of the Earth, is a cause for celebration for all us pagans in this part of the world, whether Norse, Celt or Irish, Pict or Manx. Happily, so far, the certainty continues, and the Light months lie ahead.

    On the Earth’s surface, however, all is not well. South of this blog’s habitat, down at 40’N, Naples is waiting for the cataclysmic eruption of Campi Flegrei, the neighbouring massive volcano to Vesuvius. We have all heard of Vesuvius, the eruption which buried Pompeii in 79CE, and from which the excavations have given us so very much information on life back in those times, preserved as it was in the sudden freezing of time under the mountains of ash and lava. Volcanoes are cataclysmic, the human society is gone underneath it.

    The last time the Campi Flegrei erupted it was 1538, when the population was not the 3 million humans that now live in the surrounds of the Bay of Naples.

    Italian tremors: Europe’s largest active volcanic caldera

    https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a24475/campi-flegrei-supervolcano As this article in Popular Mechanics by Avery Thompson in 2016 states, the massive eruption 35,000 years ago triggered an ice age and may have been the destruction of the Neanderthals. The 1538 eruption, its most recent, lasted for 8 days even though not the largest explosion in its history.

    In April 2010 the volcanic eruption on Iceland of the long name which for a dyslexic is too hard to spell, caused the immense disruption to air flights over a large area of Europe. Iceland is far to the north, 64’N of Reykyjavik, and the resulting ash and visibility affected that large area. If the Campi Flegrei were to blow, in the central Mediterranean position of the Bay of Naples, what would happen to all the human activity in the region, immediate, surrounding Mediterranean, Africa, Iberia, Germania, and the Middle East of present day Egypt, Israel, Jordon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and Turkey?

    What Trumps what? Helios-Earth-gravity trumps all. With the beauty of liminal seasons comes the reality of physical life on Earth.

  • Top down governance – arm the police of Britain?

    How does a modern western society function?

    This blog is an observation on how human society lives on planet Earth. It asks how the functioning of a society measures to the True Facts. It is therefore not religious, is not a sect, which also has a person as the focus, but if any name is required it is purely pagan, referencing only the true facts of Helios, Earth, gravity, and human survival of water, food, shelter and procreation, if it wants to continue that is.

    The western world sees itself as the fulfilment of the point of civilization. Tribal societies, indigenous peoples, the still very few hunter gatherer wise humans would say otherwise. For the western world there are many complicated questions to answer, such as how it keeps law and order within a diverse population. The ‘UK’ has the added complication of Scotland being under Roman law and England and Wales under common law with Northern Ireland similar to England’s common law but with many distinct legal bodies. All three are under the UK Supreme Court.

    The bobby on the beat, the affectionate nickname from Sir Robert Peel’s forming the Metropolitan Police in 1829 for those not familiar with British history, is the front facing reality of law and order in ‘UK’ society, with the beat being the pavement. BBC TV’s Dixon of Dock Green, shown from 1955-1976, was in a world of largely continuous societies over decades, centuries, and in some regions of Britain, 1,000s of years. Cities were diverse, Birmingham in particular, Leicester, London, as trading cities are all over the spinning Earth, and rural and fishing areas were a strong network of local families, a central market town, seasonal knowledge, often with itinerant labour as required, just like France used to use foreigners to come and pick grapes when needed. Everything worked fine, enough for survival of a society, and back in the 1960s and 1970s that’s all most people were thinking of, and satisfied with that.

    Fast forward half a century and the ‘UK’ is the fragmented and chaotic system and society that it is. From bottom up, law and order is collapsing and that is said by the social sciences, the psychologies, the sociologies, the genders, the ethnicities, the welfare supporters, and in the social structures of schools and shops where now police and a social worker are on many school sites and shop lifters can walk into pretty much anywhere and walk out with an armful of £50 whiskey bottles, watched by many people but who would be prosecuted if they so much as laid a hand on her, and some him’s as well.

    In the ‘UK’ the police on frontline duty of being that link between law and order, the citizen and the government, do not carry guns. In France they do. The other countries, the few of them, on this spinning mass of rock in space called Earth who do not arm their police force are largely Norse lands where population is sparser and the people stronger so probably a simple fight sorts most things out, and some small islands like the Cook Islands, and a few other countries. All ‘developed’ western countries have armed police. Why is this? Well, in a nutshell, to enable them to keep law and order.

    The natural world keeps its order, because it knows resources are limited and the balance between predator and prey is carefully balanced between them to enable survival of all. In social science terms, the top down predator is bad, and even further, now is male, so altogether bad, in the modern view in the ‘UK’. However, this avoids the necessity to look at society itself. Violent crime is now everywhere, knives, guns, drug county lines having spread out from London and destroyed many young lives, all with police powerless to do much, because Dixon of Dock Green, dealing with the petty crime of the 1960s would look terrible with a gun slung over his shoulder.

    This human was passing through Birmingham New Street train station, several times recently, and on one occasion a group of policemen were out in high viz jackets, looking obvious and ready for action. Furthermore, two were armed with some sort of gun, this human is not familiar with armorment vocabulary, but it was a big gun, loaded, and ready for action if necessary.

    Now, how much would society actually settle if the public facing police, or a few of them in each medium to large urban centre carried one of these? The response from the lefty soft supporting all people types is that it would be the quick way to ‘become like America.’ This blog seeks to disagree. The average household in the ‘UK’ does not own a gun, that is a fact. In the USA many individuals own a gun. A big gun like in this picture is far superior in power to most weapons that are carried, by those who carry weapons, and still most individuals in the ‘UK’ do not carry a weapon. If the police were armed, and had the confidence to know that their societal position from that would automatically filter downwards, as governance must do, how much better would British society be? How much more confident would the citizens be? Like the argument against ID cards, and strangely held by Reform as well who it would think are looking to restore some societal coherence, it is seen as just ‘not British’, but if it were acknowledged that the Days of Dixon of Dock Green are long behind us now, and the disintegration is happening at a gathering pace, whichever government is prepared to give the confidence to the police I am sure would get a lot of votes.

  • The successor to Sir Kier? Simple..

    This blog is a non-personal comment on how the human lives on the surface of Earth, the spinning mass of rock held in place by the gravitas of Helios. How the biology of one human, which by the definition of life had to exist from two humans, male and female, and how it is linked with other humans in a small grouping which is called a tribe or bigger to a society, is organised according to survival not greed is a genuinely fascinating subject.

    Survival means fighting when needed to defend your territory, from where does come food and water and in some parts of the world still does though the ‘UK’ departed from such logical principles a while back and food now comes from all parts of the spinning Earth and water comes through a very complicated processing system so logically where it exactly comes from is a matter of definition.

    Survival also means communication and ease of communication is a direct formula to the outcome for that society. How communication links with the physical survival of the network of humans down to their individual biology could be said and of course, to the land itself, (and obviously this blog is careful here with the current zeitgeist in the ‘UK’ being as it is) to fall into natural structural patterns reflecting both the actual biology and the sort of chemical interaction which produces different functions, leadership being one of them, or ‘leadership’ because the human has given this function a word yet in the natural world, of which the humans in the ‘UK’ are not now considered a part, the function – the function – of leadership arises from the land and whichever particular grouping of biology we are talking about. This could be earthworms, beetles, seagulls, rats, deer, spiders, crabs or wolves, ah no, not wolves now, so wild boar, again returned to native lands (illegally in the 1990s possibly by desperate residents of the Forest of Dean where human groupings go back virtually untouched to before the mists of time and experiencing the unhappy clash of C21 ‘UK’ policies).

    Having established that leadership is a natural part of any society, which is biology, and also, as an aside, where different biologies according to strength and gender and cognition have a natural spectrum, as observed by Aristotle, to fulfil a particular function in order for its society to survive and although he didn’t write in particular I’m sure he would agree that us autistic humans generally do work best in the male function regardless of biological man or woman but as he was in mortal form in the fourth century BCE then it was only the Earth, Helios (hot in the latitudes of Athens and Macedonia), the built environment of local stone and wood, and writing being on papyrus not the paper of modern times and long, long before the tip into the never-never land of digital tech so he observed the general categories of male and female, and how a society functioned according to strength and temperament. Of course society included slavery as a natural part of all ancient societies so his references to slaves and certain biology and temperament as part of society functioning, well, what he was meaning is alas far lost now in this world of the increasing individual as god.

    Whether there is no commentary and a biological society is just functioning, which hunter gatherer’s do just not have time to do, or whether there is commentary from when times had become much easier and there was both some study time, or leisure time maybe for others, and something to write on, it does not matter. The structure of a society must exist regardless, if it wants to survive at all.

    This brings this blog (totally inpersonal) to the subject of leadership with the ‘UK’. Obviously there is much debate going on in the present time, both within the governing Labour party and within the ‘UK’ as a whole. This blog is putting a solution to this quandry where questions of leadership came to the conclusion that unless a serious challenge is made (through administration processes these days and ballot boxes, not through the processes of strong arms) then the boat must not be rocked because all sorts of elections and events are coming up, and politics in the ‘UK’ is in such a precarious position that best just not to rock that boat.

    The suggestion put forward by this blog is that there is a natural successor to Sir Kier, someone who would be in a position to begin the process of realignment with the Truth, the real facts, the Logical state of affairs on Planet Earth. The requirements of a political leader in the ‘UK’ have been included by some to be that no one, absolutely no one, under the age of 40, and no one who has not had some kind of a real job, no matter where on the manual to manager etc., scale that falls. This is utterly sensible given the lowering age and that relentless race to the most individual and personal that can be of the Members of Parliament now. This is where that suggestion parts company with leadership before the British political system and leadership in the British political system. In the natural biological societies there have been many leaders under the age of 40, and if they can step up when needed, many young people are strong at 15. We do not know how old Boudica was but she was unlikely to have been over 40, and note the ‘she’ there, there are a few females who are capable of performing the true leadership function of reference to land not politics, and it is not possible to speak for him, but Aristotle would surely agree.

    But to continue the point, there is a natural successor to Sir Kier and curiously only came into Parliament from a newly created MP due to Local Government Reorganisation in Cumbria in 2023, so very new. Markus Campbell-Savours, the MP for Penrith and Solway is over 40 years old, though would be included in function of a leader, not age, and on a quick list of what is needed for the descent into political chaos, already his actions show him to be the man. He voted against the Government in the tragedy of inheritance tax being taken from farmers. His MP seat in the not just rural but far out rural lands of Cumbria where until recently many people had not gone further than their local big market town, because they were so busy on the land and fishing and from where such very strong and resilient communities existed over millennia. His voting against the ….er…. dictatorial government gained him the suspension of the whip. Markus C-S knows the biological reality of society on the land, and he voted accordingly. Alas the change of mind over the Assisted Dying Bill does not continue the Logic, especially from such a rural area where the few humans still able to farm and fish are still so aligned into the reality of life and passing between Helios and Earth, but such are the times. However, defying the urban government and speaking for the generations of farmers, most of whom have never had a holiday, never been abroad, eat by no air miles, see it as an honourable way of life if children continue the work instead of heading off to the ‘uni’, this is the sign of a real leader.

    Going further, his Icelandic genetics of mother would be so very useful at the moment as the desperate humans seek the last possible supplies of raw materials to perpetuate the world of tech, and the growing world of tech. To have a leader in place who would participate in the focus on the region of Earth now in the headlines, Greenland, Iceland, and the complications of needed resources and national governments, this would be very useful. Going even further, a very useful partnership would form if a whole new political party was formed, and which the practical leader of the Conservatives would surely join. The Practical Political Party of Kemi Badenoch and Markus Campbell-Savours would provide an alternative to the growing Reform party who is only there and growing because of the disjunct of leadership between Helios and Earth which has happened in the ‘UK’. It is only a suggestion, but a Logical one. Reform is on the rise, and there is no doubt about it, there is a bit of hype going with this, and the media excitement when another MP jumps ship and appears in Reform (not literally but that is a very old metaphor). If a Practical Party was formed to also counteract the increasing chaos in political leadership, this would give the voters two alternative options, one aiming for the headlines, and one aiming for survival on the land.

  • The Nobel Nuclear Peace Prize, a new award or a logical and noble amalgamation?

    The Will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrial successful person who died in 1896 (130 Solar turns ago) shows he made enough money from manufacture of goods, amongst them armaments (weapons of warfare) to leave the Will substantial enough to set up global prizes for Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature, and that 5th category of the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Now, 130 Solar years ago is a very long time. Not a long time in the history of Earth (45 billion solar turns), or the earliest evidence of humans, arising from previous hominid type biological creatures and which this blog must not get distracted into the geographical groupings of how these hominids survived in all the various astonishingly intricate and magical networks of life on Earth in hot, cold, coastal, mountainous, arid, delta, forest, desert, no it must not. But these hominids have been around a long time, and the humans who are industrialists and ‘scientists’ are only since the ‘Industrial’ revolutions of first coal and steam, then electricity. To be able to award a global prize at all, maybe Nobel was the first. Yes, just checked on Google, the 1901 start of the Nobel Prizes were the first international awards.

    Alfred Nobel in both inventing and manufacturing all sorts of things, amongst them weapons of war, in late 1800s was factually engaging with a very different physical society to 2026. And Norway and Sweden were a very different physical society to the Mediterranean latitudes and further on south through the Sahara to the Equator. Armaments were ground objects, air warfare did not exist. The Italo-Turkish war in 1911 had not happened, WWI had not happened, WWII obviously not, and so on, into the rapid collapse of all Logical scale to conflict.

    And in a logical progression, neither had nuclear.

    Because the Will of Alfred Nobel was left according to how he saw matters at the time, and possibly because even he saw a slightly Illogical direction of travel in western society and knowledge that he built in these prizes in the first place, what are the criteria for reassessing a past action according to present day reality? The answer is, it’s not done, because the original person had made the money and had the right to state in his Will that prizes of those categories be awarded.

    Mmm….difficult. What if Alfred Nobel himself would now worry about the state of affairs (state of human civilization on Earth) in 2026? His categories of chemistry, physics, physiology, all then were separate categories, each combining in the realm of the mysterious life on Earth, far beyond the ken or control of any one human. Literature is a recent human invention, or the modern book is, and peace there has never been on earth, nor goodwill to all mankind. Now with the arrival of a category of nuclear technology, of ‘the bomb’, where does this define the definition of Nobel’s world of late 1800s. Nuclear warfare is factually a combination of those chemistry, physics and physiology (not literature of course) expertise, and is now used as the ultimate Peace holder, that is, by having nuclear bombs then peace ensues because nobody actually wants to press that button.

    If it were a legal case with barristers standing up in court, would it be argued that Alfred Nobel’s original intention is now null and void because of the developments since? The arrival of nuclear which stands over and above all the previous categories (but not over Helios) and which is held up as the keeper of peace, can also be seen as the creator of the greatest conflict, in the pecking order of rights and opinions.

    If Alfred Nobel was alive in physical today, would he add a 6th Nobel Prize, that of nuclear negation? Apart from the confusion of some countries using nuclear for energy supply, and which John Swinney First Minister, is so against despite the precarious situation of Scotland, preferring instead to build 1,000s of giant wind turbines, but if there were a clear distinction drawn between nuclear technology used for a bomb and nuclear technology used for energy supply, amongst those countries in 2026 who have an active ‘bomb’, would he add that 6th Nobel Prize as a Nobel Nuclear Peace Prize? The first nuclear holding country who can lay out its component parts of what was once a bomb and prove it is dismantled gets awarded the huge gold medal of Nobel Nuclear Peace Prize.

    If that happened, and the resulting dismantling top down automatically dismantled all the other nuclear holding countries, down into those who wish to have one merely to counteract that top of the pyramid, and warfare was reduced to traditional (from 1911) air warfare, how much less confusion would there be on the surface of the Earth?

    Of course if time really were taken back to Alfred Nobel’s lifetime then neither would there be any air warfare, and how much less confusion would there be on the surface of the Earth from no air warfare (and no aeroplanes for leisure either)?

    As the Nobel Peace Prize was left to award from the Norwegian Nobel Committee and the other Prizes to the Swedish Nobel Committee, what if both those Committees (both far northern countries on the spinning Earth) were to have a good lunch together with plenty of Northern liquid refreshment, and decide either to disband all Nobel Prizes, to acknowledge that in the time since first they were awarded that alas, human society on Earth no longer represents the reality of Alfred Nobel, or create a new Nobel Prize of the Alfred Nobel Prize for Nuclear Peace?
