We have in the West have now passed the stage of Peak IQ and are starting down the slippery slope towards Cretinocricy. In the long-term this will be our biggest problem, as the intelligent will be routinely out-voted by the unintelligent masses in the 'democratic' world of the future, and as consequently, bad decision will be compound upon prior bad decision. The result will be a gradual disillusionment with the electoral process and the intelligent will attempt to use their money to insulate themselves from the poor decisions of the masses, but it is likely to end in tears.

A new paradigm is required, in which the affairs of men are based upon 'quality' instead of 'equality', and upon 'quality' rather than 'quantity'.

I have said for several years now that because of chronic dumbing down and declining intelligence levels (a situation significantly worsened by the mass importation of less intelligent Third Worlders) democracy itself could be the thing that destroys Britain.

It is an absurd state of affairs where it is cheaper to run a train nobody but a few saddos taking time off between tiddlywinks tournaments use for the 'thrill' of it.

How much longer will the death throes of this bureaucratic, police state last, how much longer till the inert masses fire the metaphorical bolt gun into the diseased brain of this bloated beast?

A Muslim female Dalek actually spoke to me today so I blanked her.
Normally I'm a strong believer in being civil, but not to people who deliberately refuse to assimilate and then cover their faces to visually emphasise that refusal.
