    Those guards - dressed in pantomime costumes - are part of the tourist industry. They are there to to be messed with. Why do you think they're positioned whwew thwr are? They're not guards at all. Anyone who thinks a fella dressed like a 17th century fireman is guarding anything needs to sat down and talked to by caring adults. Those guys are positioned in a public area for the sole purpose of impressing people about how unflappable they are - and to give the impression that there's something important and impressive about the ridiculous royals (there isn't, they're functionless buffoons who dress in uniforms they have no reason to wear and cover themselves with fake medals they haven't earned, while they fleece the poor). Not fair getting upset when a tourist manages to flap then. I mean, if they don't want people invading their personal space or testing them, they could just stand on the other side of the fence and not in a public area. Nah, they are there for your entertainment. If you find yrself at Buck palace make sure you pull one by the nose, slap then with a dead fish (lightly of course) pull down their pants, and just be generally creative with how you engage with them. They love it. Thats what they're there for

    I feel that the UK has been acting like The Lotus-eaters from Homer's Odyssey during the Conservative years so as hardly anyone voted in the last election. Then when Labour swept in people suddenly woke up, most hoping for positive change but unfortunately it looks like we are much worse off and Labour are even getting blamed for the last governments short comings as people are now reinvigorated and invested. I think we are on the cusp of a great political upheaval where the people want to be back in charge. That's democracy, not revolution, but Starmer is trying to frame it as so. I am 59 and he is the worst PM I have ever seen in my life, a narcissist and possibly psychopath. I am so thankful to America that we have Trump and Musk as a positive balance to give us British a lot of hope for a sane future 🙏

    What can I say! For once an American talking sense. The US is a melting pot of disjointed, brain washed, misinformed, people who are dreadfully let down by their society and their Government. A country is great only due to the hard work of its people backed up by its government caring for its people. The us is only concerned with profit and ignores the needs (not desires) of its people to lead healthy, balanced lives. As an outsider I find it difficult to like brash Americans who have been brainwashed in to believing that there is nothing outside of their borders but poverty and squalor. I wouldnt live in the states if you paid me. I’ll stay in Europe where he have healthcare, work/time directives set in law that insures we are able to have a life outside of work.

    The phrase "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" seems rather hollow in modern America from what I can gather. If your idea of happiness means dictating to others (i.e. on abortion) and generally being indifferent to their human rights if they don't align with your ideology, or even just not allowing them to express themselves freely, then you don't necessarily deserve liberty or happiness in my opinion.

    I think the comedian Al Murray puts it perfectly in one of his routines. The reason we don't have a "British Dream" is because we are awake!😆 Quite frankly, the American people (the vast majority of which are lovely, well-meaning people) deserve better. Here's to hoping that people such as yourself and videos such as this go some way to waking them up and realising that they can have all the things that we take for granted as well... The rights of the individual and corporate interests should never be allowed to overule what is best for a society at large.

    I knew that I could never live in the US 20 years ago when my Ney York friend told me that they only get 2 weeks vacation per year, maternity leave is basically non- existent and that people turn up at work if they are sick because they wont get paid if they do not show up. Absolutely shocking for a Brit to even imagine that kind of 'wage slavery'. Then I heard that medical costs bankruptcy is actually a thing in the US. That could never happen in any other ' so called' developed country in the year, or even many l3sser developed country. Americans need to wake up and see that they have been living the Amercan Nightmare, not the American Dream.

    *The USA/collective Western plot is always the same.* The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent. *Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.* Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting? *Different Empires. Different era. Same games...* ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. _Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._ *Divide-and-rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours. *Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.* Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side". *In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet. *And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism. Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide. *Divide and Rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games. THE LINK OF THE WORLD. The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide. Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams *War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*

      @TheHicksonDiaries Also, us Britons should keep quiet about the two Revolutionary Wars of 1775-1783 and 1812-1815 which we fought against the Yanks to help Canada Gain Its Independence from the United States and to kick them out of the Commonwealth.🤣👍🇬🇧🇨🇦

    Fun! Was that memorial at the end, your car wrapped around a lampost? You really need to take care when driving in UK in snowy conditions. Hope your OK!

      I had to pay a very high premium for the NHS before my visa got approved, and repay it each time I reapply/renew. This is in addition to my taxed wages.
