Omphaloskepsis, odium and oikophobia...


You may not have guessed but the blog title is describing the BBC. Omphaloskepsis is basically navel-gazing, here I use it as a literal modern sense, self-absorbed unaware narcissistic wokeness, not that of the omphalopsychite who meditates by gazing at the navel. The BBC simply hate this country and all it stands for and has stood for. Oikophoboa obviously meant in the modern sense of Roger Scruton [PDF] but put very simply would be 'home hating', "Oikophobia and Xenophilia" [Wiki] gives more of a clue.  a "seeming loss of national loyalty is a feature of our political élites, but it is not shared by the English people."...I would add, though in the text they are not connected, "the British generally, and the English in particular".
"Oikophobia is a stage through which the adolescent mind normally passes. But it is a stage in which some people — intellectuals especially [Ows: IYIs even more especially] — tend to become arrested. As George Orwell pointed out, intellectuals on the Left are especially prone to it, and this has oftenmade them willing agents of foreign powers."



The point of the above is that Laurence Fox has called the BBC exactly that, on Talk Radio, the YouTube interview HERE is well worth a listen (only 7 minutes, and what he says is 100% true).

The BBC re the current Last Night of the Proms is kowtowing to BLM and "Black Studies" racists, who also all seem fairly ignornant of the meaning of the words, the history of slavery in general and especially The Slave Trade Act (1807), the Slavery Abolition Act (1833)
etc. 

Both those interviews were yesterday.

Obmutescent over outrageous obsequious obfuscation II...






As a quick follow up to Obmutescent over outrageous obsequious obfuscation we have loud and clear what Black Lives Matter is, in their own words, how is it possible that the English Premier League clubs and players are openly supporting this? Again my emphasis:


Black Lives Matter UK (BLMUK) is a coalition of black activists and organisers across the UK. We’ve been organising since 2016 for justice in our communities.
We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world. We build deep relationships across the diaspora and strategise to challenge the rise of the authoritarian right-wing across the world, from Brazil to Britain.

There is a lot more description and explanation on their GoFundMe page HERE where they have raised approaching 1 million quid in the last week. obviously I put that link not so you donate to this travesty but so you see it is real.



I repeat, how is it possible that the English Premier League clubs and players are openly supporting this?

Watched some footy last night; it was my last time for a while at least. I was, to say the least, stunned. I should have realised the other day, seeing the Liverfluke players taking a knee and other dim-witted overpaid fuckwits too: English Premier League players' names on the back of their shirts won't appear; the political divisive and sinister 'Black Lives Matter' will appear for 12 matches of the recently (yesterday) restarted season. After that, a 'Black Lives Matter' badge will be displayed for the rest of the season alongside another badge thanking NHS staff. All 20 EPL clubs are committed to "a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for all, regardless of their colour or creed". Great, laudable, marvellous...but what does that have to do with BLM?

Premier League kneels to the BLM tyrants, writes Gary Oliver on Conservative Woman. he is not wrong.


"Nonetheless, players who kneel in solidarity with teammates cannot all be comfortable endorsing the malevolent manifesto of Black Lives Matter. Certainly many football supporters will be dismayed by their club’s shirts being used to promote a group which denigrates British history and whose benign name belies its menacing intent."

Laws of the Game and Football Rules [English Football Association] IFAB Laws of the Game 2019-20, 20/21 [International Football Association Board]

Law 4: The Players' Equipment, Section 5:


Slogans, statements, images and advertising:
Interpreting the Law

When interpreting whether a slogan, statement or image is permissible... 


... 'political' is less clear but slogans, statements or images related to the following are not permitted:

any person(s), living or dead (unless part of the official competition name)

any local, regional, national or international political party/organisation/group, etc.

any local, regional or national government or any of its departments, offices or functions

any organisation which is discriminatory

any organisation whose aims/actions are likely to offend a notable number of people

any specific political act/even





When commemorating a significant national or
international event, the sensibilities of the opposing team (including
its supporters) and the general public should be carefully considered.






Competition rules may contain further
restrictions/limitations, particularly in relation to the size, number
and position of permitted slogans, statements and images. It is
recommended that disputes relating to slogans, statements or images be
resolved prior to a match/competition taking place."



My emphasis. They can change the laws but they are currently ignoring them and in a way that is grossly and overtly political and divisive.  





BLM may have had good intentions when it began but that beginning was based on lies and race-baiters: Obama's "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon". Just one example: "While it would be naïve to suggest that there is no racism in the US
criminal justice system, victim reports don’t support the idea that this
is because of mass discrimination
" [LINK]. BLM also believe in the disruption of "the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure". FFS, when most commentators of all colours and creeds agree that the lack of a father figure is a major issue on 'wayward' youth.





Whatever the admirable wishes of the founders and many supporters, BLM is tainted and many demonstrations show clear, organised anarchic disruptors advancing a marxist-anarchist agenda. For this alone the English Premier League and FA and players etc are fools: they fought and won to be able to wear the poppy but on this BLM celebration they are well behind the curve and it will lead to MORE trouble, not less. Why not just strengthen and continue the 'Kick it out', 'No Room for Racism' campaigns? Far better than taking 'a political turn', especially after the recent riots and statue-tumbling law-breaking, criminal damage.

Oggi, oggi, oggi...




Happy St. George's Day...and isn't it a fine one! A day when, for centuries, the English celebrated as 'a major feast and national holiday...on a par with Christmas'.  With the forming of the Union this began to fade; celebrations were non existent or subdued but recently - with state recognition and self-determination being the flavour of the moment - are more numerous and growing.  Today is also a good day to live and die; no, I'm not getting all Dharmic or Druid, it's just 23rd April has become a symbolic date for world literature with so many authors, writers, poets etc dying or born on this day (or both in the Bard's case); certainly a touch of Osiris or an Ouroboros about it. Be good; dragon beware...
