G. K. Chesterton. Anyone else here familiar with his works?

Featured Replies

It would appear that his “Fences principle” is playing out on a multi Continent scale now. Has anyone else noticed this as well?



Well as a quick over look that would depend on which side of the fence you believe you belong. Because some might agree then there are those who wouldn't depending on the side they believe in.

Okay. That’s like saying that “some people like their cucumbers pickled.”

That it is.. some questions can be like opening a trap door then asking someone just to walk over it.. for me personally l would say that things moving towards the right. Is a good thing at the moment as the world may stop all the madness but even too much of it may send things over the top too far. Then some don't like certain questions being asked because they're too scared to voice there opinion incase it's taken the wrong way. Because written words can seem to interpret 1 thing when it's meant as another. Especially here in the uk where freedom of speech is restricted just like in china.

You can expect a knock on the door from the Starmtroopers saying things like that. 🙁

G.K. Chesterton was quite prescient about so much that has happened.  The social order has indeed “come off it’s rails.” You guys in the UK should write down the names of the people in current leadership and work on making sure that they don’t get to keep their jobs. Nearly everything is a either a shambles or a disaster.

Indeed he was quite right about it and it must have benn something he learned very early on about what the fabian society which was founded in the uk about 12 yrs after the bohemian club was they both share the same intentional future some would think that the freemason would be puttinga stop to them but they have infiltrated that too. As to our government neither Labour or the Conservative will ever hold the position again they'll probably keep there jobs if not there wages because of how its all set up. But quite a few of them visited America during your last lead upto to elections to help there friends which was seen as quite ok in there eyes. But totally the opposite when ( farage who l wouldn't trust either ) visited trump they saw that as interference 😂 funny how they like to point out others doing but not there own. The recent tragedy you in America have experienced goes to show how far they have come to fear the loss of control. I watched a few of the debate videos before and it was so amazing to see how the education had been twisted so much that the college kids thought what they was taught was so right till they spoke with Charlie. Our kids education is being pushed the same way unfortunately. But by those who sit in offices away from the mps and those who have no place in our society because they never integrated and never will anyway  because they have no interest to either its there religion or nothing. 

It's a lot like the remark they like to use that in the uk data shows there is more white child ab**ers in the uk than there is from the religion of peace. The answer to that is simple which non of them or there supporters like. ( we won't hide ours they are found out and dealt with appropriately. When has the religion of peace ever pointed there's out never not 1'c ) there families like to say it's the victim who made it happen. That's not hate speech or incitement of any kind just pure fact of how they look at it and from some of the videos I've seen you guy in America are going to find it used there if they are allowed to continue arriving there too.

I don’t think the Free Mason society has been a factor in anything in America since the end of the Second World War. Both of my Grandfathers were members in good standing, right down to the symbols on their headstones. My paternal grandfather described the organization as a businessman’s social circle that did good works in their communities. 
It doesn’t even exist in many communities anymore.

One thing is certain regarding immigrants that do not wish to assimilate into the culture of their adopted country. They will not be an asset to that nation. Anyone who thinks that they will eventually become contributing members of the society is delusional or is actually in favor of the destruction of their nation. This doesn’t apply to any particular country or group. It applies to all of them.

 The recent very public assassination of a young man who was a proponent of free speech and open debate is the latest example of how divided the two sides of the political isle have become in America. The Leftists have been able to get away with urinating on their political opponents and telling them that it’s just raining for several decades. But, their graft and corruption has been laid bare. 
The coming mid term elections will be a good barometer for if the Leftists will prevail. I’m afraid that they will become even more dangerous in defeat than they have proven to be lately. I know that they hate me. But they also hate their own constituents.

Why are conspiracy theorists largely illiterate despite their verbosity? Because they are stupid, that's why.

Conspiracy theories exist to make stupid people think that they are being clever.

There is still quite a few here in the uk and still does have some good people in the freemason and l do believe it was built up as a good intentions thing but obviously like most things that what is good does get used by the wrong to do wrong but then to make it look just as bad as the the other so there is no faith in them anymore.

That us quite right about the integration you only have to look at the recent March in the uk capitol 26 arrested out of over 1 million which the videos prove not  thousands like the reporters want people to believe 😂 and it was classified as wrong yet during the afro celebrations in the same capitol over 200+ arrests,  weapons ceased and some sexual assault reports and it was classified as a family day out by mayor 🤣🤣🤣 you can't make it up its the same man you can watch in question times who acts lie he's learning to speak, wanted london as a separate place from the uk he's hilarious to watch..

As to the lefties thing yep we get that here they are the untouchable at the moment but all good things come to an end 😎👍 l can understand how they wouldn't like you or anyone else that doesn't think there way here in the uk they are no threat the worst they can do is use there mouth and the law if they think they can get you on anything. Raising the flags is proving very hurtful to them so as long as everyone stands together the only place they eventually have is the place they obviously love more and they'll be able to enjoy it with them when they all eventually go back.

I saw several videos of the protest crowds. Good on you Brits! There was way, way more people than 100,000.

demanding that the Union Jack be taken down is a sign that the government is going against the people. The other, more hidden signs being giving shelter, money and food to non citizens is what we call treason. 
Im sure the current powers that be will continue to censor and harass people for expressing their opinion, even when it is the truth and really more of an observation of what is happening.

" The other, more hidden signs being giving shelter, money and food to non citizens is what we call treason. "

I disagree.

Exactly it would be like saying every country must remove their own and put up the terrorists supporters flags. It ain't going g to happen and the 1s that have been won't be up for very long given all the dis-information they keep pumping out. It is treason very much just like when Biden was president ( in my opinion he wasn't of sound mind and was used as a puppet for control ) we have a government that is claiming to be doing this that and the other to stop the illegal invasion all whole sending the boats back in truck trailers to france to be reused. The numbers on them was catalogued and video recorded of them being loaded into the trailer then the guy who filmed it actually travelled on a bicycle from the port to the ferry area just to show they was not being destroyed as made out by the government. Of course there going to keep going at us till they themselves are removed from power by the people as a whole because they seem to think that calling us all racist / fascist or anything else from there vocabulary of words that must be used will work well here in the uk 🇬🇧. If that's what we are called then so be it we'll wear it with pride till the end because we don't need to use violence to get our point across we just show up.

Hopefully Scottman the Americans 🇺🇸 do the same too. I know yous have a certain amount of control but the rest need to follow to stamp out the wrong people.

The announcement that a formerly prominent late night talk show host has been removed from his job is the latest example of the ongoing collapse of the media. Jimmy Kimmel has been removed from his position. I would like to say that it was because of his rhetoric and monologues, but truth is that his ratings have been in the pits for over three years. His program lost 72 percent of its key demographic viewers since 2015. Those are the viewers that advertisers want to reach, and they are not getting there with Kimmel. 
The establishment media is colluding with the news media, I lump them together because they use their platforms to spread their narratives. They have been imploding faster than our news media. Hollywood or the entertainment industry I guess that would describe them have been eating each other alive for over a decade now. The entertainment industry here is a shambles. Creative people are not being allowed to do what they do. It’s causing some people in the industry to leave California and take their trade craft elsewhere. Mark Whalburg has written off Hollywood and California to start his own production company in Arizona. I doubt that he will have any trouble finding staff willing to leave California for Arizona and it’s more affordable living conditions.

 I Believe that the next big event here will be the dissolution of one of the news media companies either CNN or NBC. MSNBC is circling the drain as we speak. NBC might be able to save itself from oblivion if it were to shut down its news division and just refocus on entertainment. But, that would require humility and common sense. 
Personally, I limit myself to about twenty minutes of news media viewing per day. It’s enough to keep aware of what is going on without being saturated by narratives. I find that if I wait a week to dig into a particular subject matter that gives it time to develop more perspective. The 24-7 news cycle is not very accurate in the first few days. So I have decided to just let it age a bit before I put much effort into trying to understand what I am seeing.
