We are broadcasting this simultaneously to all of you, which isn‘t normally what we do, but I needed to send this message in the same format to everyone, so please accept my apologies.
As you may be aware, England is struggling existentially for the last few years and we are counting losses of around 100,000,000 pounds each year due to intolerance, slackery and laziness.
The circumstances have resulted into a very difficult but necessary decision: We must remake entire England in the image of London.
Sadiq Khan
Let us consider the facts. London today is 60% non-English and is doing better than in any other year in its 1,000 years of history. The rest of England, however, has fallen behind precisely because it is full of English.
My London government has consulted with the Prime Minister‘s Office and Westminster Parliament and we came to the decision that the solution for going forward with entire England is through third country re-population, immediately, whilst nobody knows who’s who and what and why anymore in 2022.
It is alright that you may feel distress right now. I have been there, believe me. But I am assuring you it is for the best of our country, England, which we must always put first.
This means we are revoking your outdated first-came-first benefits and terminating your native vantages, with immediate effect, on the grounds of your redundancy.
I am in agreement with the Prime Minister that hundreds of millions of third country skilled workers are waiting overseas and are willing to work for jack diddly-squat or a fraction of that, and who have no problem making England a powerhouse again through Diversity, Innovation and Productivity.
The whole world is cheering our resolve. The whole world wants to come here. We are the best in what we do, and the best they ever gonna get, and they know: “England is for all of us!”
Previous policies ‘Hire the Hungry People’ and ‘Black is Bigger’ have scientifically proven, beyond all doubt, that third country populations are more valuable than gold.
Sadiq Khan
Not only do we help those poor people escape genocidal war and hellish climate change, but we also invigorate our backward island with very fertile, competitive and sustainable new people.
We could never have achieved that if I was a white Englishman, obviously.
As a top player in the global market economy we must welcome half of Pakistan, three-quarters of Bangladesh, a tenth of India and 3 million Cantonese from Hong Kong who cost us nothing in formation and education, because they were well-trained abroad and will stupefy us with new ideas.
We will no longer tolerate English barbarism or cries from Yaxley-Lennon types who in the past demanded more and more pay for work that hundreds of millions of Arabs, Persians, Turks, Poles and Africans obviously can do better and cheaper.
Therefore, you English muggles, your final day of work privilege and native entitlement is today.
We have thought long and hard and are now offering you a handsome redundancy package which is well beyond what the natives in Sweden or Germany get.
Details you will find in the proceedings, including part and parcel for assisted relocation to the woods or highlands, and food coupons for a year, subject to you signing a replacement agreement […] and compliance in full with our terms of conditions.
We do accept that there are no words to convey the situation any better today. I realize this will come as a shock to you. Please appreciate that because there are 30 million natives like you left, we can‘t respond to all your grievance calls for obvious reasons.
Thank you for your understanding today. Thank you for your service to England, even though you were overpaid and often ungrateful.
We are expecting your full cooperation and support for the new populations to arrive and help them to settle down quickly in your old positions and begin this new Global England.
This is the Mayor‘s Office. I am صادق خان Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.
On behalf of England and God I bless your Queen!
Have a nice day.

This may well be understood as satire, however we are in reality seeing similar policy moves in Greta’s country of origin. No laughing matter.
yes, look at lost england. Whoever makes a deal with the devil ends up bleeding and meets death. Also look at Germany. Germans are sweet-looking, devoid of tension and threat. But in the depths of their hearts we see evil. Olaf Scholz for example looks like a Zen monk when he talks. But he works for satan/devil. He said he hadn’t paid for the gas in rubles. Does Germany have an ace up its sleeve, a plan B, or will we next semester see most German companies go bankrupt? Putin continues to act wisely, patiently, and is creatively dealing with the gimmicks of the lying Empire servant of evil.
I am not alone in this thought. :)
England made a deal with evil and just like Germany is already reaping the fruits. The Nordic countries are vassals of the empire. There are countries in Asia that also look deluded to the West. I was one of the first people here on the blog to talk about the perfidy and vassalage of the Germans. Now I’m talking about Kazakhstan. Asia should connect with China and Russia. Kazakhstan is banning the letter Z. Many people in Kazakhstan are against the letter Z. Putin saved the government from the color revolution. Asia must unite against the Empire of Lies. The Kazakhstan oligarchy is sold to the West. Interesting days.

There is absolutely no proof of Kazakhstan banning Russia Z. All news you post are from zone A controlled media and as usual here there is absolute no fact to sustain themX
As dollar/euro is sustained in illusion, western news are sustained in imagination. That simply did not happen.
Probably some Kazakhstan people support Ukraine at the beginning, same than in Russia, but anyone seeing videos of NAZI atrocities can support them any more.
And the elites of Kazakhstan know very good that they can not be sell to the West and it does not matter if they want or not want.
Kazakhstan is surrounded by Russia, China and Iran. They can not choose side and indeed they would be the most favoured nation by Eurasian vision and they are one of the lest favoured by ocean American thalatocrazy
Your statement is absurd
They want a MONOPOLY to extract rent. A big 3 or 4 that manipulate prices in every sector.
1. “Why can’t it be that higher wages force firms to invest in better management techniques and the most advanced technologies in order to get the most out of their higher cost labour?”
That’s known as the paradox of productivity not mentioned on banking TV or in the bankers noble prize.
Productivity improvements just lead to falling prices, so firms try to avoid doing productivity improvements and prefer to try and obtain monopoly power instead. That’s what a ‘market niche’ is.
Higher wages will lead to some firms failing, which releases people onto the labour market, driving down wages. If you try to hold those jobs up, and force losses onto the other side you end up with an investment strike and the whole house of cards collapses into stagflation.
2. “And why would firms in a competitive capitalistic system ever try to avoid productivity improvements?”
Compare the cost of a concert violinist to a loaf of bread in the 19th century vs today. That’s what productivity increases do over time – because it takes less human time to produce an item, and time is really what everything ends up being priced in.
That’s the paradox of productivity. Productivity improvements ultimately leads to cheaper prices not increased profits. Because that’s what competition is there to do. The profits can go further – in that they can buy more stuff. But they like to accumulate units of account.
In essence the dynamics of pure competition leads to an oversupply in the market which brings prices down until firms start to go bust to eliminate the oversupply. Therefore market players try to stop competition happening by constantly seeking a MONOPOLY perch.
The system has to force competition onto essentially reluctant players. Make capital compete for Labour for the first time since 1981.
2. The supply side approach of creating jobs is seriously flawed.
Imagine a small community comprising 100 dogs. Each morning they set off into the field to dig for bones. If there enough bones for all buried in the field then all the dogs would succeed in their search no matter how fast or dexterous they were.
Now imagine that one day the 100 dogs set off for the field as usual but this time they find there are only 92 bones buried.
Some dogs who were always very sharp dig up two bones as usual and others dig up the usual one bone. But, as a matter of accounting, at least 8 dogs will return homebone-less.
Now imagine that the government decides that this is unsustainable and decides that it is the skills and motivation of the bone-less dogs that is the problem. They are not skilled enough. They are idlers, scroungers and “bone-shy”.
So a range of dog psychologists and dog-trainers are called into to work on the attitudes and skills of the bone-less dogs. The dogs undergo assessment and are assigned case managers. They are told that unless they train they will miss out on their nightly bowl of food that the government provides to them while bone-less. They feel despondent.
Anyway, after running and digging skills are imparted to the bone-less dogs things start to change. Each day as the 100 dogs go in search of 92 bones, we start to observe different dogs coming back bone-less. The bone-less queue seems to become shuffled by the training programs.
However, on any particular day, there are still 100 dogs running into the field and only 92 bones are buried there!
Sunak’s Spring budget was all about increasing the number of dog psychologists and dog-trainers.
3. Increasing or cutting interest rates is a fools game it has never worked. Because they have the whole interest rate thing backwards they always each every time kill the recovery way to early.
Keeping a group of humans unemployed just to try and control inflation by the carpet bombing approach (moving interest rates ) is cruel and morally corrupt. Only supports the economic rent seekers.
haha the idea is NOT to train the dogs better skill to look for bones but direct the effort in training them to detect and seek alternatives. Sky’s the limit. Resource restriction is only inherent in how we look at and use the world at our disposal. We sorely need a few top dogs to change the game.
That’s what they tell you Vientito,
The truth is They just want to drive down wages and business does not have to compete for labour.
They have to be forced to compete for Labour.
If they don’t want to pay higher wages then innovate and become more productive to get round it. Or allowed to go bust as a zombie business instead of being bailed out by the state.
They are there to produce. Should be treated like cattle not pets.
The job guarentee forces them to compete for Labour and knocks them off their monopoly perch. Drives competition at warp speed. Only the strong survive and that’s the way it should be.
There is an insanity factor over there, to many people competing for resources and money, with insanity, w/break neck speed competition.
A few of us put the breaks on and made it over 50 years, the rest of you i’m not so sure about.
Alabama,
The private sector is similarly imprecise and is incapable of clearing the labour market on its own. The Job Guarantee handles the fallout from the imprecision of both private and public sector activity.
This approach represents a completely different way of looking at the task of constructing a national economy. The private sector is the meat in the sandwich between the required public sector, and those who would otherwise be left unemployed.
Looking at the system people-first ensures everybody who wants to be hired in the monetary economy for wages gets a wage. This allows the economy to operate at a greater level of output than any other competing way of organising one. Yet, thanks to the stabilising and anchoring effects of the Job Guarantee, all while retaining stable prices.
Why does the UK import Labour ?
It suffers from the British disease.
With x number of people unemployed, y number of people inactive but want a job, and z number of part timers wanting full time why do we need any more? Let’s just ignore the number of people underemployed.
It’s relatively straightforward. The British Labour market suffers from the ‘British disease’ — a vestige of Imperialism. We find it easier to steal resources from other countries than to create our own.
It’s about time we realised most brexit solutions involve import substitution and in the Channel Islands.
Because the supply side approach to creating jobs is seriously flawed. We end up with a % of the working population unutilised in the workforce one way or another. And that’s before we get onto people over 65, who are automatically excluded despite the state pension age creeping ever higher.
None of these ever match the vacancies on offer. They don’t match for several reasons:
1. The job role demands a skill set that is not available at the price offered.
2. The job is in the wrong geographical location from the people who could do it.
3. The job has physical requirements that are not available at the price offered.
So the process of filling a job goes something like this:
Business advertises for a person to work very long hours for a pittance, often somewhere ridiculous like London nobody appropriate applies for it.
Business goes running to nanny shouting ‘skill shortage’ and demands visas.
Government gives in to business because businesses are treated like pets, not cattle.
The job is advertised abroad foreign nations, exporting their people like cargo, welcome the visas and encourage people to leave rather than sort the social problems out at home.
So the elite class in both countries get what they want.
The poor country gets rid of their peasants that are competing for what little resources there are and who may send some foreign currency back which the elites can appropriate through taxes, financial discounting or even occasionally producing goods for people.
The rich country gets cheap labour that will stack high in tenement blocks and work all hours for a lower wage. The elite cream off the surplus and socialise the losses onto the school system, the health system and the social services who then advertise for people to expand and find that there aren’t any skilled staff to work in those areas. The public sector then asks for visas, advertises abroad…
What you get, in effect, is the same process at a country level that we had initially in the industrial revolution at a city level. 1840s Manchester followed the same process, but with the surrounding rural areas rather than areas thousands of miles away in a different country. Birmingham, Glasgow and others followed the same process.
It will end up in the same way it always does — the rich living in gated wonderlands while the poor live in slums squashed in like sardines.
Shanty towns are what happen when you allow market forces free rein. The UK had the first shanty towns, and the way it is run at the moment it will be the first shanty country.
It’s not just at the low level this process happens. Agriculture is notorious for it, but it also happens in IT. The larger firms put pressure on the government to let them import ‘skilled staff’ just as soon as the local workers develop any pricing power.
In reality they just want to pay less, and the prevailing economic orthodoxy uses a ‘reserve army of the unemployed’ to keep wages under control. In their belief system, inflation control has to be done on the labour side of the equation, never on the capital side. That why we have concepts like NAIRU, but never a NAIRC (non-accelerating inflation rate of competition).
When you look at a country with a different approach — Japan — you find, that even with a declining population and GDP relatively static overall, the GDP per capita is rising. That’s because they are automating and treating their elderly with respect. Fast food places are closing because they can’t get the staff. People get their cars washed by machines and their coffee from machines. All that drives forward productivity which then maintains and improves the standard of living — because they have to.
It’s not all perfect. The Japanese elite are gripped with neoliberalism like everywhere else. There is unnecessary unemployment and unhappiness. There are strong pushes for more ‘guest workers’. But the language, writing barrier and general culture stops them throwing open the doors. They have developed a different way for an island nation to bumble along relatively happily but with a net migration rate of about zero.
When you read any of the immigration literature put out by economists have a look and see if you can find Japan mentioned. You won’t find them in there — because it doesn’t fit the prevailing narrative.
So there is another way to improve standard of living rather than going around nicking resources from other nations. But it means treating business like cattle rather than pets. It means elites having to address local problems and innovate rather than sweeping them under the carpet.
Most importantly, it means having a political party that puts the poorer majority in the nation first.
And we don’t have one of those at the moment. It doesn’t matter who you vote for They all suffer from the British disease.
A job guarentee fixes it in a heart beat along with inflation and no more of the carpet bombing approach of interest rate targeting. Offsets the drain to savings.

Prolly works fine until there is a labor shortage, like under reporting long covid or something, can really mess up the formulas and those whom rely on them.
After getting rich and paying good wages at the expense of looting and exploiting labor in the third world, first world countries have more than to open their borders and return what they stole from the Global South.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan wants even fewer visa checks for Ukrainians. BoJo even offered a Government-in-Exile.
Ukrainians have much more industrial experience than North African migrants, and one wonders if Britain has found its new India?
When Yeltsin caved into the liberal Shock Therapists, Russia suffered a massive brain-drain, which Putin stopped.
Hopefully when Ukraine is denazified, many will return, they will be needed! They will find that England, Germany are not like the glossy brochures shown at border posts!

Don’t magically appear out of the pavement just because you have taxed some rich people.
Taxes don’t fund government spending. The government gives you the currency you then use to
a) Pay your taxes
b) Buy government bonds
It is written on the front of every English bank note where it comes from – HM Treasury. They provide you with the currency that allows you to do a) and b).
You don’t fund them. HM Treasury funds you. If you live in the UK.
They issue the currency first then collect it.They never collect the currency then issue it. How any football stadium of concert works.

What’s left over is called a government budget deficit.
The issue £100 billion into the economy via government spending
Then take £90 billion out of the economy via taxes as the spending flows around the economy as everyone’s spending is someone else’s income. That income is then taxed.
They call that it true Orwellian fashion – A £10 billion government budget deficit.
But where is the £10 billion ? Mars, Venus ?
Left in the private sector with households and businesses. In their current accounts with people who decided not to spend all of their income and decided to save some of their income instead.
The government budget deficit = The private sector surplus to the penny.
Imagine the headline on banking TV or in the bankers press and they used the asset side of the balance sheet instead of always using the liability side of the balance sheet.
Liability side of the balance sheet:
Government deficit ” balloons ” to £10 billion
Or
Government needs to find £10 billion to fill the ” black hole” in the budget.
Always using doomsday narrative and framing as if it is a bad thing.
Asset side of the balance sheet:
Household and businesses savings increase by £10 billion.
Household and business have increased their wealth.
You never hear that.
They always use the liability side of the balance sheet to scare you.
If households and businesses want to swap some of their savings into government bonds to earn more interest or to choose a less risky saving portfolio with more bonds in it than stocks.
Well they have just increased the national debt.
Which is really national savings in the form of government bonds.
But you will never hear that either.
Import substitution means people are resources too. It takes 6 years to fully train Doctors, nurses, electrician, plumbers, joiners, scientists sometimes longer. That needs to be centre to import substitution.
So that when the government issues £100 billion into the economy. There are enough skills and real resources to absorb the spending.
There are enough skills and real resources to absorb the tax cuts.
There are enough skills and real resources to absorb the increased bank lending.
Not cause too much demand for too few goods and services that may cause prices to rise. If prices rise the money growth rises. As more currency is needed to buy things at the higher prices.
Skills and real resources are the key. What you can run out of.
Not blips on a balance sheet created from thin air after a spending bill has been passed in parliament. That you can never run out of.
So all political parties since, have proven Maggie Thatcher was wrong:
“The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
She should have said:
“The trouble with Britain is that eventually you run out of other people.”
My dad was an RAF pilot who, like many, left England after the war because austerity made rebuilding the family business too difficult. All his descendants in North America have management jobs.
Yes, Opport Knocks
Thatcher lied.
HM Treasury does not need ” other peoples” money.
” Other people” need the state money.
There is no such thing as tax payers money it is a myth. It is state money.
It’s written on the front of every bank note where you got every £ you ever made in your life. You got it from HM Treasury. It is written in plain English beside the signature on the bank note.
Check a business till. Every back note business receives comes from HM Treasury.
HM Treasury gives you the £’s that you then use to pay your taxes.
Think that through.
Who is funding who ?
The growth strategy of the UK has been for many years “import cheap labour to keep the middle classes in their delusions of grandeur”. It’s actually called The British Growth Model. The British disease.
The future must lie in improving productivity and increasing investment so that you can do more things with a stable population and a sustainable ecology. And a constraint on the labour supply is one of the ways that gets done. Employees should always be reassuringly expensive to force the capitalists to invest and innovate.
Otherwise the Oligarchs will find many ways not to do so.
You have to have an immigration system that works. Here’s a precis of one that will (but remember that the devil is in the detail): That means that activity needs to move to where people live not just in the big cities. Stop the brain drain from rural to urban areas.
An immigration system that excludes EU immigrants that wouldn’t otherwise get a work visa instantly removes all those people who come to the UK and compete with the working-class sub-median wage earners. These were the people who voted in the largest numbers for Brexit. These people have paid the heaviest price for EU membership.
Reintroducing a work visa system that is on same lines as every other civilised advanced nation outside the EU, solves that problem.
Then only higher waged, higher skilled individuals come into the country from all over the world, but they compete with a different class of people and compete less because they are in areas with genuine skill shortage.
From the point of view of the sub-median wage earner, immigration has ended. So they are happy.
And importantly you need to send out higher skilled individuals from your country to the rest of the world to balance those you take in. Otherwise you are stealing skills from other nations which they need to develop internally.
That is a ‘beggar-thy-neighbour’ attitude and morally unacceptable. Immigration should be more of an informal exchange process than a capitalist ‘free market’.
This is a civilised solution that addresses all the concerns. Eminently reasonable and fair to all who believe in nations and borders. A win-win all round.
Import substitution should concentrate on reducing the number of visas for higher skilled individuals were you need a genuine skill shortage.
They should be filled over time by your own citizens. Developing better skills with a higher standard of living that ” add value” within your own borders.
usedto work for an exucational—!!!!- establishment whete they admitted 14 petcent of vacancies were deluberately kelt vacant ….any leaving a job after May was not replaced either until September …so those covering had extra work to do plys new staff arriving September were an extra load on colleagues who had to train them up and slit them in and newbies trying to puck up pieces for themselves at the beginning of the academic year. Students suffered of course… up to 20 percent new students left at end of first year cos they could not cope with academic would ..lack of learner support for their learner difficulties plus the rest of it….so all the training they had in first year was a wasted effort by the staff too…… Yup ..crazy UK
We dont run trillion dollar yearly deficits for nothing, gvt actually somehow passed the idiot stage back there.
I am up to gaslighting

Great article and very entertaining.

The whole Menticide-series is a very good and valuable compilation of the processes and mechanisms that disintegrate western societies.
However, in the current ironically exaggerated form it is accessible only to insiders who basically already know all of that.
The author should think about creating a more down-to-earth version for a broader audience.
I don’t know man… I’m definitely not into the situation, but I enjoyed this satyric article thoroughly… I wouldn’t like a “down-to-earth” version, I prefer being treated like a smart guy, even if the argument is not my cup of tea… if I wanted to go deeper I could always search for more info by myself. But hey, maybe you have a point nonetheless.
A Brit, Englishman or Anglosaxon is a racist construct that does not belong to any one officially recognized Blacks, POCs, Orientals, Jews and Sinics or including those that are the result of diversity. Although the term English is sometimes preferred by white islanders, many English have no known pure race or homeland.
