Why is the birthrate falling?
I saw this post, below, and when I stopped laughing I thought I’d say a bit more about it.
Apparently, the reason we “need” all these (unskilled) migrants (on benefits) is we aren’t breeding enough, we aren’t making enough babies for the economy!
We are all getting old! We aren’t making enough babies to pay into the tax system to cover pensions (because our government mismanaged everything for 40 years).
There’s even talk of raising the pension age to 71, even 73 in the UK!
(You don’t have to pay their pension if you’ve worked them to death, eh).
Justin Urquhart-Stewart says the current State Pension is unsustainable and will either become ‘thin gruel’ one cannot rely on, or will be means tested. Income tax, the money you thought you were acrueing for retirement, has already been spent says Justin Urkett Stewart (video below).

Up to 2010 State pension was 65 for men, 60 for women
2010 to 2018 Pension age for women raised to 65
2018 to 2020 Pension age increased to 66 (Gov .uk)
2026 to 2028 Pension age to be increased to 67 (OBR)
2044 to 2046 Pension age to be increased to 68 (Turn2us)
Thoughtless, ideological policies
The irrational pro mass migration push by the establishment is a thoughtless kneejerk reaction within elite bubble groupthink. It is all about the economy, not about needing more people, per se.
A sane, rational government would say, “We need more bodies, but only those that absolutely will contribute to the finance and well-being of our country. If they are not a net benefit to the country, they are a drain and need removing!”
The globalists like Blair, Macron, Merkel, Starmer, Carney etc just see, “We need more bodies.”
Population Matters, argue this is all part of a wave of pronatalist articles falsely scaremongering that low birth rates are a cause for alarm when instead they should be celebrated.
When I was a kid there were closer to 3 billion people on the planet. We were all doing just fine, relatively. Now it’s nearly trebled in my lifetime and the world is a shit show, ruined by mass uncontrolled migration and overpopulation. If we had a Thanos moment and half the world’s population vanished I’d be, “Well, that’s a start, but there’re still too many people”.
(Introverts, eh)
On the one hand you have alarm over a population explosion, on the other, alarm that we aren’t breeding fast enough, aren’t making enough replacements (to support the economy). The establishment cannot have it both ways!
Also, talking of children as if they are just replacement parts… y’know, that should ring alarms bells, but it doesn’t. That is doesn’t raise concerns should also worry you!
That’s just the way it was
Back in the day, people just didn’t steal from each other, if only because they had nothing to steal. No big TV, no smartphone, no consoles. I mean, sure, there were thieves, always has been, always will be, but it was rare.
Our street wasn’t much different from the terrace houses above. Maybe not quite such a slum, but not far off. We didn’t think of ourselves as being in poverty, as being poor, we just got on with things.
We had a fairly big family. My friend had 13 kids in his house.. Larger families were normal for my generation.
I worked in more industries than I can recall: food, chemical, nuclear, automotive, manufacturing, retail, tech, labouring… I was rarely out of work for more than a few days or weeks.
We had gays in the community, they weren’t hated – but neither were they celebrated as being “brave” and the new future and given a month of their own.
(Trans was not a thing)
We had migrants but, for the most part they weren’t hated, but neither were they celebrated and given their own months.
Every town and village had streets of quirky shops, a pub ‘on every corner’, vibrant markets.
Manufacturing was the life blood of the country.
…
And then it wasn’t!
A beaten workforce is an obedient workforce
All that I knew, all that my generation and older knew is gone, purged.
It’s all gone. The quirky shops, vibrant markets, the industrial areas of every town. Gone. The sense of hope, gone.
Every high street is just a row of empty shops, charity shops and Turkish barbers that have no customers (but a BWM in the drive…)
And all the time, we are battered down by the government, the establishment, hated (by white liberals) for our “white privilege”
Told we must answer and repay our ‘white guilt’ – by rich white folk – for things rich white folk did a century ago…
Being gas lit. Day in, day out.
Hope has been crushed by an uncaring, elitist, classist establishment!
The more intelligent people are looking at the world and asking themselves, “Do we really want to bring a child into this dystopia? What will the world be like in 30 years? 60 years?
The youth are so addled and indocrinated that they don’t even know what gender they are.
On one side we have mindless, uncontrolled, unvetted mass migration because we aren’t making enough babies to satisfy the establishment’s need for cheap labour.
On the other side, the establishment are so confused they think women have willies, men can have babies, and if that’s not confusing enough, it’s a hate crime not to believe there are 72 genders…
When did our “elite” get SO stupid!?
Meanwhile, Islamists – who it should be noted see the Western establishment for what it is – seem to have no thought but to “take over the world by the womb“, apparently.
That – by some – will be seen as ‘racist’, as ‘Islamophobic’, but they are openly telling us this. They are laughing at the lefties that close their eyes and ears. Literally laughing at them! Playing the long game by overbreeding to establish a global caliphate where everyone is Muslim and…
And then what?
Sure, we all want nice things, but if nobody is making them, if farms have been concreted over and replaced with houses and solar panels (for net zero fantasies), what’s really left to live for?
I came from a generation that lived in houses like the one above and we still had hope and dreams. And I’ve watched governments around the world crush that hope – while the elite get richer by the day and still want more!
“We can’t feel anything, all that’s left inside us is dust.”
~ Andrei Platonov
“I’ve lived to bury my desires, And see my dreams corrode with rust; Now all that’s left are fruitless fires. That burn my empty heart to dust.”
~ Aleksandr Pushkin
They – the rich, the government, the establishment – want us demoralised, beaten down, our spirits crushed so we are weakened, dispirited, easy to manipulate for what is yet to come. They fear us, so they must opppress us – while they dine in opulance and tell us to eat dirt, like dogs, expecting us to be grateful for scraps.”
.
The wealthy fear the poor because we outnumber them; they fear losing their wealth!
.
They want us cowed, deferent, but I’m not crushed. I’m angry. Really angry. And when the quiet ones, the introverts and intellectuals like me are this angry, what must the more volatile ones be thinking?
The other day a Ukrainist arsonist torched one of Starmer’s properties. (How it must gall him that he couldn’t blame ‘the far-right”).
Starmers response in the House of Commons (to the rousing cheers of “Here, Here” from the uniparties) was this was “an attack on democracy“.
No, you dipshit!
Lucy Connelly and others being jailed as political prisoners for Tweets is an attack on democracy.
Making people work themselves into the grave because you and your buddies have put the country in unrecoverable debt – while getting rich promoting vanity and self-righteous schemes like HS2, Covid mandates, illegal migrant housing, net zero madness that the voters told you they do NOT want – THAT is an attack on democracy!
30+ years of Labour and the Tories ignoring voters and doing whatever they want, breaking every manifesto (if elected…) pledge is an attack on democracy
The Stasi-esque tweet police kicking down doors, going through ladies knicker drawers, saying academic treaties “look Brexity” and arresting people for what – in their ignorant opinion are – dangerous “thoughts” are an attack of democracy.
Being arrested for non crimes by thought police is an attack on democracy
Burning down YOUR house, though, Starmer, which I am not condoning, well, that’s not an attack on democracy, that’s just one person out of 500 million in Europe telling you you’re a wanker and they don’t like you.
There are a LOT of people in the country that do not like you. I’m one of them!
