Saying that the lunatics have taken over the asylum used to be a joke, now it’s our reality, says Neil Oliver

The British regime… and I phrase it that way deliberately to take account of the fact the rot goes much deeper than just the government… those empty sock puppets playing the parts of elected representatives… took the decision last week to bomb Yemen.

It goes without saying nowadays that we, the British people, were not consulted in advane, far less our blessing sought, for the making of more war on more people we don’t know.

Without any recourse to Parliament… that hollow charade supposedly comprising those sent by us to do our bidding and so take care of our best interests… is a mob of self-serving frauds who if integrity was dynamite, couldn’t blow their own noses.

Without consulting that confederacy of dunces, unelected PM Rishi Sunak and unelected Foreign Secretary David Cameron, and the rest of the goons, despatched war planes to Yemen in our name.

According to our government’s own website:

“On 11 January, Royal Air Force aircraft joined coalition forces in striking a number of facilities used by the Houthi rebel faction in Yemen to attack shipping in the southern Red Sea.”

Thanks for telling us lads…

All-encompassing war in the Middle East anyone?

And so, in addition to helping underwrite the slaughter of generations of Ukrainian men and boys, in the name of non-existent democracy and creeping Nato expansion and the carpet bombing of babies and the rest of the civilian population of Gaza, our taxes, the nation’s wealth, as yet unearned and only added to the Himalayan mountain of debt, is being spent, you might say, securing the Red Sea.

The Red Sea is more than 3,000 miles from London. RAF aircraft are dropping bombs on people there to help secure that waterway.

And yet the British Regime is incapable, or rather prohibited, from securing the English Channel that you can practically see from the roof of the Palace of Westminster.

That’s what we supposedly pay our taxes for remember, at least in part, the security of our borders.

I shouldn't need to say I am not here calling for the bombing of the channel.

But in this time of lunacy I will make clear I don't think it is too much to ask for a bit of effort to maintain a border.

But while our unelected, self-promoted, self-described leaders rub their hands with glee at the prospect of further investing in the dividends payable by the Military Industrial Complex, the southern approaches to the United Kingdom are spread wide for the pleasure of all comers.

Roll up, roll up, get your British taxpayer funded free life here and help yourselves to whatever catches your eye while you’re at it.

Like us, the citizens of the US have no meaningful southern border.

Millions of new people have arrived in recent years.

New York City mayor Eric Adams, who declared the Big Apple a sanctuary city for immigrants cheerfully enough, now says it will cost 12 billion dollars to house and care for the tens of thousands flooding the streets for the next three years.

He said this year New York must spend five billion dollars on its immigrants more than it spends on police, fire and sanitation combined.

Those on the move are victims too. It is the decisions by our so-called leaders to repeatedly bomb the Middle East.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and on and on and on.

That provokes the millions into moving elsewhere, including here.

Is it a deliberate flooding of the West? a deliberate destabilising of the West? Rr just the by-product of greed and corruption?

I said at the top, the lunatics have taken over. But AT BEST they’re lunatics. Because if it’s not madness that drives them to drive the rest of us off a cliff, then it must be pure and simple badness.
