Russell Square

Russell Square, named after the English aristocratic family of which mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell is the most famous member, is in the heart of intellectual tourist London, near the British Museum and various universities.

So it’s only a coincidence that that’s where a deranged youth from distant Tooting happened to choose to stab to death the wife of an American college professor and wound five other people, including another American, an Israeli, and an Australian. The New York Times reported:

Mr. Rowley said the attacker was a Norwegian citizen of Somali ancestry, but that his background did not appear to be “relevant to the motivation for his actions.” … The man emigrated to Britain from Norway as a child in 2002, the agency said.

Bloomsbury Bobbie

Obviously, some lunatic would choose Bloomsbury to act out because of his deep admiration for E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey.

Going to a historic tourist center doesn’t have anything to do with trying to get world attention the way terrorists do.

Also, nothing to worry about here involving refugees because the stabber moved to Britain from Norway.

Besides, the plague of Knife Violence has always emanated from the tragic dirt of Bloomsbury. That’s why the mean streets of Bloomsbury have always been patrolled by Bobbies armed with the traditional pistol and machine gun.

After all, who can forget when John Maynard Keynes was beheaded by Virginia Woolf?

The Bloomsbury stabber is not a terrorist, he’s just a Lone Woolf.

Coincidentally, an updated look for London Bobbies was unveiled this week:

And here’s another new style for the Bobbies:

  1. I always knew that Norwegians were suspect.

  2. Steve: Check out the firebomb attack on a Paris (Saint-Denis) bus. There’s a little something-something about the urban youth shouting Allahu akbar ! during the assault.

  3. It’s sort of like how Powerline highlights how crimes committed by Somalis in the Twin Cities are invariably attributed to a “Minnesota man” in the media.

    I have family in the Twin Cities and regardless of political affiliation, none of them have anything good to say about the Somalis that live there.

    In Boston, the gag is "a Milford man" which always means an illegal alien. Reading the news has become a an exercise in translating Newspeak to English. A [fill in name of town] man is an illegal. "Motive unknown" means Muslim. vague descriptions of a "tall man in a red shirt" means black. The only time they can muster a a straight forward description is when the perp is white. Then the first graph in the story is a detailed description of the evil white man and his evil motives.

    It's why I'm fond of saying we live in a theocracy. Everyone in charge is a member of the New religion. Even if you are not in the church, you better pretend you are or the morality police will bust down your door.

Any illegal or unsavory activity automatically disqualifies them. The Dems could spend money on that program instead of the automatic welfare they get upon entry.

  11. Berserker attacks committed by Norwegian immigrants are becoming a major problem in Britain. “Allahu Akhbar” is often mistaken for an Arabic phrase. In actuality it is an Old Norse prayer that translates as “I kill and die with sword in hand. Have your Valkyries bring me to feast with you in Valhalla, oh mighty Odin.” (Old Norse is a very terse language.)

  17. What we have in the West is a caste system. At the very, very bottom are ordinary Straight White males. At the very, very top are Muslim men. In between you have White women, Blacks, gays, Hispanics, the BLT group (Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato), lesbians, etc. all jostling for position. I’ve probably forgotten some identity group.

    But at the heart, it is a caste system. Donald Trump is big, big trouble because he got “uppity.” Didn’t “know his place.” Stabi-Al-Stabby on the contrary did know his place — the dominant one.

    It is no accident, as the Marxists used to say, that the most swaggering, stupid, aggressive, ultra-violent, dominating, misogynist, live for the next five seconds men seize the highest caste possible and the most accommodating, nice, tolerant, dependable, and cooperative men are made untouchables. Quite literally.

    That is the mark of a feminist system. That Muslims particularly the jihadi ones have the highest possible caste status is a feature, not a bug, of feminism in general and this system in particular.

    The situation described by Jane Kelly cannot go on, although Merkel, Obama and other idiots seem to be encouraging it.

    At the very least, there ought to be strictly enforced laws preventing the kinds of behaviors described in Kelly's article: child abuse, exploitation and brutalization of women, disregard for conventional law, and education and socialization contrary to the most fundamental cultural traditions of Britain, Europe and countries sharing these traditions.

    Perhaps if these laws were enforced in a sufficiently Draconian fashion, e.g., by permanent denial of all welfare benefits and long terms of imprisonment for all violators, then people who really have no reason nor justification nor right to live in a modern liberal (in the 19th century sense of the term) society would self-relocate to the hell holes they seem to prefer.

    The Norwegian citizen was in the UK thanks to Norway’s participation in EU freedom of movement.
     
    The UK Somali diaspora was established through secondary immigration from the common customs area of the 28 EU states plus EFTA - the European Free Trade Area - which includes non EU Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein. There is free movement allowing citizens of these 32 states to reciprocally settle and work anywhere within the EU and EFTA.

    It remains to be seen if the recent Brexit vote actually means Britain withdraws from this open live work area. Some of us are intensely sceptical and fear another establishment stitch-up, following the Tsunami of the establishment's project fear attempt to swing the Brexit vote for remain, which failed.

    Unless a still non-existant monster vote made up of a United 50 Shades of Old Norwegians suddenly decides to re-ballot our future, the country won’t be able to avoid a predetermined dystopic grand-finale of the century.

    That grand finale is enforced by the very same pseudo-rootless eggheads who made us believe that the country has to be forever tweaked via 19th century forgery of principals based on this never-ending Greatest Experimentation.

  34. We had an incident in the Oakland schools, year before last. A Somali mother (photos of her indicated Western dress) who ws permitted on school property as a registered volunteer, attacked a 9 year old girl in the bathrooms. Then we find out, the attack was with a hammer. Then it squeaked out, the child was “sexually assaulted” with the hammer.

    The blithe explanation was that both families came from Somalia and “brought blood feuds with them”.

  41. OT:

    A foreigner in Rio de Janeiro fought an armed robber and shot him to death with the robber’s own gun. The foreigner claimed to be a Russian diplomat but the Russians deny it:

    All Russian diplomats and security guards of the diplomatic mission are well and “had nothing to do” with the incident described in media reports, the Council General added.

    At the same time, Tokmakov said that he cannot “rule out” that whoever was involved in the reported incident could have introduced himself as a member of diplomatic staff.

    The incident reportedly happened as the alleged diplomat was stuck in traffic at the Avenida das Americas in Barra da Tijuca and a mugger approached the car by motorbike.

    The perpetrator allegedly broke the car window to gain access to the driver, demanding he hand over his watch. Using, what some media reported to be jiu-jitsu skills, the impostor diplomat allegedly grabbed the robber and pulled him into his BMW X6. In a tussle that followed, the impersonator got a hold of the attacker’s gun and shot him dead.

    The body of the assailant, identified as Leonardo Lopes Batista, was displayed for hours on the road as the investigation continued. The unpleasant tableau was seen by numerous Olympic delegations as they arrived at Rio’s Olympic Park ahead of the Summer 2016 Olympic Games which begin Friday.

    Apparently, the driver of the BMW who defended himself so successfully was a Brazilian national who was a "vice consul" for the Russians in Brazil, hence, his description as a diplomat.

    It is pretty common for local nationals to work as vice consuls in foreign embassies and consulates. An American friend of mine was a vice consul in the UK consulate in New York for several years.

    Obviously, though, they do not perform the same duties as the accredited diplomats in those embassies and consulates.

    My brother Rahaman had handed me the phone, saying, ‘Operator says a Mr. Bertrand Russell is calling Mr. Muhammad Ali.’

    I took it and heard the crisp accent of an Englishman: ‘Is this Muhammad Ali?’ When I said it was, he asked if I had been quoted correctly.

    I acknowledged that I had been, but wondered out loud, ‘Why does everyone want to know what I think about Viet Nam? I’m no politician, no leader. I’m just an athlete.’

    ‘Well,’ he said, ‘this is a war more barbaric than others, and because a mystique is built up around a champion fighter, I suppose the world has more than incidental curiosity about what the World Champion thinks. Usually he goes with the tide. You surprised them.’

    I liked the sound of his voice, and told him I might be coming to England soon to fight the European champ, Henry Cooper, again.

    ‘If I fight Cooper, who’d you bet on?’

    He laughed. ‘Henry’s capable, you know, but I would pick you.’

    I gave him back a stock answer I used on such occasions: ‘You’re not as dumb as you look.’

    It's pretty simple: the big pockets are always white males. If you reduce that pool to a fraction of its previous proportion in the student body, you reduce the big pockets proportionately.

    It's pretty hard to feel sorry for older graduates of the 60's who did their own share of protesting and marching for stuff they probably didn't even care about back then. Other than staying out of Vietnam (which I understand, but don't sympathize with) they were about "free speech", which means "my speech, AKA cursing and filth", and "civil rights" which means whatever I want on any given day. Upending tradition and authority was what they wanted so now they can watch their old universities twist in the wind.

    In my day (80's) the protests were about diversity and South Africa. Those students didn't care one whit about SA, but protesting sure made them feel good. Diversity? Ha! The Chinese and the Indians are happy to bring diversity all the way to dominance.

    Of course at the core of this are the commies.

    Humor and laughter surely are a healthier way to heal and cope than taking to drink or drugs, etc.
    I am saddened by these events too, but getting angry or depressed about it does not seem to work very well for me personally, so I appreciate Mr. Sailer's approach here, but of course it is politically and socially very volatile territory to wade into, so one has to be very careful and selective in how far to push it, what type of comments to make/approve or not, etc., etc. It is a delicate balancing act, and in my humble opinion Mr. Sailer keeps his balance very well.

    Arguably, Mr. Sailer's sadness and frustration about all this, is much greater than most other peoples', since he has been predicting and warning about these trends and the potential for violence by inviting the peoples of the Middle East into the West, for a very long time, so he needs healing humor and comic relief more than most of us.


    The fractiousness and tribalism of Middle Eastern countries have frequently been remarked. In 1931, King Feisal of Iraq described his subjects as “devoid of any patriotic idea, … connected by no common tie, giving ear to evil; prone to anarchy, and perpetually ready to rise against any government whatever.” The clannishness, corruption, and coups frequently observed in countries such as Iraq appear to be in tied to the high rates of inbreeding.


    Muslim countries are usually known for warm, devoted extended family relationships but also for weak patriotism. In the U.S., where individualism is so strong, many assume that “family values” and civic virtues such as sacrificing for the good of society always go together. But, in Islamic countries, family loyalty is often at war with national loyalty. Civic virtues, military effectiveness, and economic performance all suffer.

    The last man executed for murder in Britain was a Somali sailor who settled in or near Wales. Turns out he was framed and posthumously exonerated. The most likely suspect now is the only other Somali sailor living in Britain at the time.

    Mahmood Mattan was the last man to be executed in Wales. Gwynne Evans and Peter Allen were the last men executed in Britain, in 1964, twelve years later.

    I had no idea that Bertrand Russell was from an aristocratic family...
     
    He was the 3rd Earl Russell of the peerage created for his grandfather, who was Prime Minister.

    Confusingly, the 1st Earl Russell was Lord Russell even before he got his own peerage, as he was the younger son of the Duke of Bedford, also known as Baron Russell.

    It looks like his grandson, the 7th Earl, may be the last of the line, as he has no male heirs.

    OT:

    A foreigner in Rio de Janeiro fought an armed robber and shot him to death with the robber's own gun. The foreigner claimed to be a Russian diplomat but the Russians deny it:

    All Russian diplomats and security guards of the diplomatic mission are well and “had nothing to do” with the incident described in media reports, the Council General added.

    At the same time, Tokmakov said that he cannot “rule out” that whoever was involved in the reported incident could have introduced himself as a member of diplomatic staff.
     

    The incident reportedly happened as the alleged diplomat was stuck in traffic at the Avenida das Americas in Barra da Tijuca and a mugger approached the car by motorbike.

    The perpetrator allegedly broke the car window to gain access to the driver, demanding he hand over his watch. Using, what some media reported to be jiu-jitsu skills, the impostor diplomat allegedly grabbed the robber and pulled him into his BMW X6. In a tussle that followed, the impersonator got a hold of the attacker’s gun and shot him dead.

    The body of the assailant, identified as Leonardo Lopes Batista, was displayed for hours on the road as the investigation continued. The unpleasant tableau was seen by numerous Olympic delegations as they arrived at Rio’s Olympic Park ahead of the Summer 2016 Olympic Games which begin Friday.

The other son, David, is/was a busking guitarist. I don’t know about the grandson, but having a father wrongfully hanged will mess a boy up. As will being a mulatto in rural Wales in the 1950s.

  83. I suggest that genetics and DNA have a lot to do with violence and crime. Plus I think the social meme also does. That is if a person believes in some vile evil doctrines this will affect their behavior even if they have great genes. And visa versa. Even a great doctrine can be messed up by bad genes.
    Once a Protestant pastor in Jerusalem told me he thought the main cause of terrorism is Islam. This was a surprise tome because before that I thought it had something to do with genetics. Now I would say that perhaps there are both factors involved. [I still see a vast influence of genes in many areas.]

    For many years now, the Government and the liberal Left’s case for mass immigration has rested partly on their repeated assertion that Britain is a melting pot of different cultures – or as they describe it, “a nation of immigrants”. […] The slogan was first promoted in Britain in 2001 by the then immigration minister Barbara Roche, who pronounced that ‘”the UK is a nation of immigrants.”

    http://migrationwatchuk.org/pressArticle/16

    Here’s Babs describing what sent her into politics:

    Roche’s own parents were part Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Russian, and she had entered politics – she still emphasises this today – to combat anti-semitism and xenophobia in general.

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/may/23/immigration.immigrationandpublicservices3

    And here’s the True Brit David Aaronovitch on why Britain should open its borders to the vast intellectual potential of young male migrants from Somalia, Afghanistan, the Congo, etc:

    With proper arrangements, we could take every single person… and hardly notice it. We could turn those rangy, scary young men into electrical engineers. It would still be a drop in the drowning ocean. The crisis is elsewhere and cannot be solved by single governments. But we’re scared and that makes us hard-hearted and, worse, it makes us unable even to ask the right questions, let alone imagine the right answers.

    “The ambassadors to Brazil were not at all happy when the national capital was changed from Rio to Brasilia and they had to move to the middle of nowhere.”

    You are right. No one was happy. The land-invading, booze smuggler, thief and gigolo of a president that Brazil had at that time had to actually double the salaries of all federal employees to convince them to move there. He, of course, never led by example and lived all his life in a triplex apartment with beach front view to Ipanema beach in Rio.

    The excuse was that they had to develop the inner part of the country. As if government did anything other than rob people of their money and then spread it to the friends of the people in government. Brasilia cost literally over a trillion Dollar in total cost – if you factor in the cost of all the supporting infra-structure they had to build for the city and of a quarter million public servants moving there -, brankrupted the country and, of course, that part of the country has nothing to show for it except for government-subsidized private companies that work for the government. It’s like Washington D.C except much, much worse.

    The real reason they built that monster is to isolate the government from the public protest. It worked to some degree because the original plan of the city was made in such a way as to make it impossible for people to live there. For instance, there are only highways with no side walks. The GDP per capita of Brasilia is literally twice that of Sweden. If you visited Brasilia and did not see the shanty-town cities that surround it, you would assume Brazil is the richest country in the World. Best medical services, almost no crime, everything shiny and beautiful. In fact, Brasilia is the closest thing in the real World to “The Capital” from the “Hunger Games” films. It is basically an absurdly glowy and rich city that produces nothing and just leaches off the country.

    But taking the capital from Rio was essential for another reason: it was important for the Brazilian Republic to not have as it’s capital the former capital of the Portuguese Empire. Republicanism in Brazil was one of shame and rejection towards the European colonizers and the desire to break free from European influence, which is paradoxical since even today Brazilian law favors immigration from Europe and upper crust Brazilians consider European civilization the “ultimate” to aspire to.

    Rio de Janeiro is unique among the cities of the Americas in the sense that it was capital of an European Empire, with a king from the Bourbon Dynasty and all.

    We are facing the potential demise of this country because there are way too many delusional nice Old Norwegians letting in hordes of way too many new and not so nice…Norwegians.

    And for some reason the Old Norwegians strongly believe that the new Norwegians-although the latter neither walk, nor quack like the old ones, will eventually forgo eleven hundred years of an ongoing ugly duckling phase.

    Unless a still non-existent monster vote made up of a United 50 Shades of Old Norwegians suddenly decides to re-ballot our future, the country won’t be able to avoid a predetermined dystopic grand-finale of the century.

    That grand finale is enforced by the very same pseudo-rootless eggheads who made us believe that the country has to be forever tweaked via 19th century forgery of principals based on this never-ending Greatest Experimentation.

    It’s pretty hard to feel sorry for older graduates of the 60’s who did their own share of protesting and marching for stuff they probably didn’t even care about back then. Other than staying out of Vietnam (which I understand, but don’t sympathize with) they were about “free speech”, which means “my speech, AKA cursing and filth”, and “civil rights” which means whatever I want on any given day. Upending tradition and authority was what they wanted so now they can watch their old universities twist in the wind.

    In my day (80’s) the protests were about diversity and South Africa. Those students didn’t care one whit about SA, but protesting sure made them feel good. Diversity? Ha! The Chinese and the Indians are happy to bring diversity all the way to dominance.

    But does it not occur to this educated, pretentious cretin that it is the left that is obviously supporting censorship of all kinds of speech, and the Trump voters who resist it? He's incapable of performing even that most basic sanity check?

  126. The ludicrous aspect of all this is how the UK has become a magnate for Somalis who were virtually unknown to the country a generation ago. People who are extremely dysfunctional in a modern society.

    Somalis decamped from the Netherlands to the UK about a decade ago because in large part it is easier to reject the host nation – one which also provides easily accessible welfare.

    The great expansion of Islamic infrastructure in the UK has become a huge draw (and of course fuels Muslim prejudice against the bemused non-believer). Build it and they will come indeed.

    One hopes that Brexit will see them leave: let the Dutch benefit from their manifold talents.

    They've been around most British ports in little enclaves ever since the days of Empire, like Lascars.
    Employed as stokers and the like, from the days when Britannia used to face down rowdy Gulf sheiks and so on by sending a dozen ironclads to spoil the sea-views from the emir's palace.

    Not a few of these absurd little coastal principalities started life as Navy coaling stations, whose nominal independence from the Ottomans was signalled by the elevation of some local raghead bandit chief to monarchical status under the protection of his now-loyal ally, The Great White Queen, Empress of India etc. etc. (and her hundreds of 6, 8, 12 and even 16.25 inch guns). Oil came from Persia, until after WWII, and these emirati buggers didn't have a pot to piss in at the time.
    Since Arabs don't do manual labour, the Welsh diamonds had to be unloaded into the port's bunkers using the nearest available grunt workers (Brits would have died of heatstroke on the spot).

    Therefore Horn of Africa, therefore Somalis mostly, gradually inducted on board as stokers, therefore ending up mostly in Cardiff docks/Tiger Bay, Hull, where the steam-coal came from (Aussie as well) and a few other places including London's Dockland. And consequently acting as a colonial beachhead for all the rest of them in modern times, with the results we are pondering in this post.

    FWIW, from my experience with ER/trauma patients, that sort of stabbing results in suffocation rather than exsanguination, as a lung is pierced and collapses.

    Humor and laughter surely are a healthier way to heal and cope than taking to drink or drugs, etc.
    I am saddened by these events too, but getting angry or depressed about it does not seem to work very well for me personally, so I appreciate Mr. Sailer’s approach here, but of course it is politically and socially very volatile territory to wade into, so one has to be very careful and selective in how far to push it, what type of comments to make/approve or not, etc., etc. It is a delicate balancing act, and in my humble opinion Mr. Sailer keeps his balance very well.

    Arguably, Mr. Sailer’s sadness and frustration about all this, is much greater than most other peoples’, since he has been predicting and warning about these trends and the potential for violence by inviting the peoples of the Middle East into the West, for a very long time, so he needs healing humor and comic relief more than most of us.

    The fractiousness and tribalism of Middle Eastern countries have frequently been remarked. In 1931, King Feisal of Iraq described his subjects as “devoid of any patriotic idea, … connected by no common tie, giving ear to evil; prone to anarchy, and perpetually ready to rise against any government whatever.” The clannishness, corruption, and coups frequently observed in countries such as Iraq appear to be in tied to the high rates of inbreeding.

    Muslim countries are usually known for warm, devoted extended family relationships but also for weak patriotism. In the U.S., where individualism is so strong, many assume that “family values” and civic virtues such as sacrificing for the good of society always go together. But, in Islamic countries, family loyalty is often at war with national loyalty. Civic virtues, military effectiveness, and economic performance all suffer.

    In the West, men, left to their own devices, often value beauty over other attributes - if a women is a 9 or a 10, men will overlook all sorts of character flaws that would be disqualifying in a 6, let alone a 3.

    One of the victims (an Israeli girl who seems to favor wearing bikinis in her photos) went to help Bulhan whom she assumed was also a victim and got stabbed for her troubles. PC conditioning can literally kill you.

    Bulhan was the usual “quiet boy” who was bullied. The police say that the Norwegian Bulhan had recently become a more devout Muslim but this had nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism or Islam at all, zero, zilch, nada, really. It’s all just a coincidence that he is a Somali Muslim who stabbed a bunch of white people. It’s entirely attributable to mental illness. “I stress, though, that all the work we have done so far does not suggest that those factors in his background are relevant to the motivation for his actions.”

    Nothing to see here folks, let’s move on and talk about whether Donald Trump is extremely dangerous or only very dangerous. Perhaps the UK should start studying knife control. Certainly we should have better treatment for mental illness. What’s that you say, change our policies concerning refugees and immigration? Why do you bring that up? Mental illness can happen to anyone – this case has nothing to do with immigration. There’s no reason to ban Norwegians from immigrating to the US just because he was one crazy Norwegian (there’s also that Breivik guy so that makes 2 crazy Norwegian).

    It's sort of like how Powerline highlights how crimes committed by Somalis in the Twin Cities are invariably attributed to a "Minnesota man" in the media.

    I have family in the Twin Cities and regardless of political affiliation, none of them have anything good to say about the Somalis that live there.

    The UK tabloids (as usual) have more useful information than the NYT.

    The stabber is Zakaria Bulhan. The story is so cliched that you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

    One of the victims (an Israeli girl who seems to favor wearing bikinis in her photos) went to help Bulhan whom she assumed was also a victim and got stabbed for her troubles. PC conditioning can literally kill you.

    Bulhan was the usual "quiet boy" who was bullied. The police say that the Norwegian Bulhan had recently become a more devout Muslim but this had nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism or Islam at all, zero, zilch, nada, really. It's all just a coincidence that he is a Somali Muslim who stabbed a bunch of white people. It's entirely attributable to mental illness. "I stress, though, that all the work we have done so far does not suggest that those factors in his background are relevant to the motivation for his actions."

    Nothing to see here folks, let's move on and talk about whether Donald Trump is extremely dangerous or only very dangerous. Perhaps the UK should start studying knife control. Certainly we should have better treatment for mental illness. What's that you say, change our policies concerning refugees and immigration? Why do you bring that up? Mental illness can happen to anyone - this case has nothing to do with immigration. There's no reason to ban Norwegians from immigrating to the US just because he was one crazy Norwegian (there's also that Breivik guy so that makes 2 crazy Norwegian). Now if a crazy American white guy had done this, we would have been forced to remove the few remaining Confederate flags that have not already been purged, but this incident is no reason to boycott Norwegian cheese.

    You are right. No one was happy. The land-invading, booze smuggler, thief and gigolo of a president that Brazil had at that time had to actually double the salaries of all federal employees to convince them to move there. He, of course, never led by example and lived all his life in a triplex apartment with beach front view to Ipanema beach in Rio.

    The excuse was that they had to develop the inner part of the country. As if government did anything other than rob people of their money and then spread it to the friends of the people in government. Brasilia cost literally over a trillion Dollar in total cost - if you factor in the cost of all the supporting infra-structure they had to build for the city and of a quarter million public servants moving there -, brankrupted the country and, of course, that part of the country has nothing to show for it except for government-subsidized private companies that work for the government. It's like Washington D.C except much, much worse.

    The real reason they built that monster is to isolate the government from the public protest. It worked to some degree because the original plan of the city was made in such a way as to make it impossible for people to live there. For instance, there are only highways with no side walks. The GDP per capita of Brasilia is literally twice that of Sweden. If you visited Brasilia and did not see the shanty-town cities that surround it, you would assume Brazil is the richest country in the World. Best medical services, almost no crime, everything shiny and beautiful. In fact, Brasilia is the closest thing in the real World to "The Capital" from the "Hunger Games" films. It is basically an absurdly glowy and rich city that produces nothing and just leaches off the country.

    But taking the capital from Rio was essential for another reason: it was important for the Brazilian Republic to not have as it's capital the former capital of the Portuguese Empire. Republicanism in Brazil was one of shame and rejection towards the European colonizers and the desire to break free from European influence, which is paradoxical since even today Brazilian law favors immigration from Europe and upper crust Brazilians consider European civilization the "ultimate" to aspire to.

    S. Asians vary considerably in shade from Arabish tan all the way to chocolate brown. The women are mostly ugly as sin. Bollywood starlets are in the top .1% out of a billion people so they can come up with a few good ones as outliers (just as the Chinese come up with 7' basketball players ), but if the average American woman is a 5 by definition then these women average 2 or 3 even before the next generation reaches American obesity levels.

    The ludicrous aspect of all this is how the UK has become a magnate for Somalis who were virtually unknown to the country a generation ago. People who are extremely dysfunctional in a modern society.

    Somalis decamped from the Netherlands to the UK about a decade ago because in large part it is easier to reject the host nation - one which also provides easily accessible welfare.

    The great expansion of Islamic infrastructure in the UK has become a huge draw (and of course fuels Muslim prejudice against the bemused non-believer). Build it and they will come indeed.

    One hopes that Brexit will see them leave: let the Dutch benefit from their manifold talents.

    Poverty is their first problem. Over 80% of Somali-speaking pupils qualify for free school meals. In Waltham Forest, a borough in east London, home to nearly 4,000 Somalis, 73% live in households on benefits. More than 50% of British Somalis rent from local councils, the highest proportion of any foreign-born population...

    For years many Somalis kept their suitcases packed, ready to return to Africa for good, says Mr Olad. Firm in the belief that they would soon be on the move, there was little point in putting down deep roots, or encouraging their children to do so. But the current generation of Somalis grew up in Britain. For them a permanent return to Somalia holds less appeal. Young British Somalis still embrace their nomadic heritage. But now they seek a dual identity, able to flit between two homelands and, they hope, to make the best of both.

Firm in the belief that they would soon be on the move, there was little point in putting down deep roots, or encouraging their children to do so. But the current generation of Somalis grew up in Britain. For them a permanent return to Somalia holds less appeal. Young British Somalis still embrace their nomadic heritage. But now they seek a dual identity, able to flit between two homelands and, they hope, to make the best of both.

    PS In recent years I have become increasingly cynical over how so many minority schoolchildren are star pupils and overachieve in British schools, even when they are from problem groups. Even this delightful chap seems to have done OK at school, although of course he did nothing afterwards.

    "UK cabinet member Priti Patel could pass for Spanish:"

    If by "Spanish" you mean New World Latin American, than I agree she can pass for Mexican or Venezuelan for example. She doesn't look like she is from Spain, unless it is a Spanish Gypsy.

    I’d guess she were Latin American before I’d guess Spanish, but I’d also guess Spanish before I would subcontinental. She’s considerably less swarthy than Spanish tennis phenom Rafael Nadal, for example.

    “Are you talking about Kubitchek? I thought he was supposed to be the best president Brazil ever had.

    Of course, every one of your insults could be true, and he could still qualify as Brazil’s best president. The politics is as bad as the music is good.”

    Kubitschek was only the “best” because Brazil inherited from the Iberian colonization a love for “grandiose” displays of state power and national greatness, such as building a trillion-Dollar city in a savanah no one wants to live in.

    Kubitschek was a thief who pocketed close to 20% of all the money spent on Brasilia, from the purchase of the raw materials to the money payed to the construction companies encharged with building it. He created the culture of a huge and parasitic federal bureaucracy because no federal employees wanted to move to Brasilia, so he gave them incentives in the form of bribes and doubled salaries. This culture reamins to this day, and he was the creator. He was not the inventor but he was the president that engaged in cronyism to the highest degree in Brazilian history. Hundreds of companies became powerhouses by leaching off the federal government, and Kubitscheck enacted laws specifically to destroy private interests that didn’t support his government. A nepotist, he nomeated several of his relatives to high positions in ministries. He was also a hypocrite who pretended to be a probe family man, while he literally had sex orgies in the Presidential Palace with underage girls. He also became rich before his political career by invading lands in his native state and smuggling alcoholic beverages.

    I had no idea that Bertrand Russell was from an aristocratic family...
     
    He was the 3rd Earl Russell of the peerage created for his grandfather, who was Prime Minister.

    Confusingly, the 1st Earl Russell was Lord Russell even before he got his own peerage, as he was the younger son of the Duke of Bedford, also known as Baron Russell.

    It looks like his grandson, the 7th Earl, may be the last of the line, as he has no male heirs.

    I think Wikepedia is wrong. I believeBertrand Russell wasn’t the Earl but a younger son whose title would be Lord First Name, not Lord Russell.

    If you are really interested check Burkes or Debretts book of peerages
