14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16]17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
In this episode of "Thoughts from Soviet Britain", I give my reflections on the recent local elections in UK and talk about the future of politics.
A secret may be sometimes best kept by keeping the secret of its being a secret.Taylor was son of a gentleman farmer in County Durham. After being at sea for some months and in the Naval Stores Department, he became a clerk in the Colonial Office, and remained there for 48 years, during which he exercised considerable influence on the colonial policy of the British Empire. He advocated the melioration, as opposed to the abolition, of the slave trade.In 1872 he was made K.C.M.G. He wrote four tragedies — Isaac Comnenus (1827), Philip van Artevelde (1834), Edwin the Fair (1842), and St. Clement's Eve (1862); also a romantic comedy, The Virgin Widow, which he renamed A Sicilian Summer, The Eve of the Conquest and other Poems (1847). In prose he published The Statesman (1836), Notes from Life (1847), Notes from Books (1849), and an autobiography.This is a reading of a short essay by Sir Henry Taylor, "Of Secrecy".

Palm Sunday commemorates when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey the week before his crucified and death. Although the people cried, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” and greeted Him with anxious expectation. However, by Friday, they would crucify Him. One week after He entered Jerusalem was the Resurrection of Christ when He first appeared to the myrrh-bearing women.

I appeared briefly on Talk TV with Julia Hartley-Brewer to talk about Norwood Primary & Pre-School cancelling Easter Service and Easter Bonnet Parade for their students this year. Talking the joy of Easter Bunny away from little kids in the name of diversity. I didn't get chance to talk about it in further detail with Julia due to time constraints so I thought it would be a good idea to expand on that appearance.

"Of Innovations" is a short essay by Sir Francis Bacon. In his essay "Of Innovations," Francis Bacon explores the nature of change and innovation, arguing that while change is inevitable, it should be approached cautiously and with a focus on reformation rather than mere novelty, emphasizing the importance of following the "ancient way" before venturing into new paths. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. He argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban, 1st Baron Verulam, PC was an English philosopher and statesman who served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England under King James I.This is a reading of a short essay by Sir Francis Bacon, "Of Innovations".

In this episode, I discuss the inevitable Farage show, as I warned you all about before the elections, and also after the elections. Farage has always done this to a long list of political colleagues who have dared to challenge him on his ill advised positions, and recently he has done it to Ben Habib, Howard Cox, and now the fan favourite Rupert Lowe. It is a pattern that works for self interest and benefit - and as a nation Britain has no time for this nonsense.Read my conclusive recent piece on substack:https://www.theworldofmomus.com/p/farage-rupertlowe-reform-ukpoliticsBecome a Paid Substack Subscriber:https://www.theworldofmomus.comDonate:https://buymeacoffee.com/theworldofmomusConnect with me:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/theworldofmomusLink Tree: https://www.linktr.ee/theworldofmomus#SovietBritain #ukpolitics #farage #reform #reformuk
In this episode of "Thoughts from Soviet Britain", I give my views on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. I talked about this at the start of the conflict and I have broadly maintained my position on a lot of the issues. But as the talks and troubles are increasing, but negotiations hopefully imminent, I thought I recap my views here.
In this episode of "Thoughts from Soviet Britain" I discuss my feelings around the continued imprisonment of Tommy Robinson / Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. And I also say a few words which I had written down as speech for the 1st of February rally, that I couldn't attend due to some unforeseen circumstances. But to be honest, I am not much of a public speaker anyway.

The Story of Damon & Pythias is a Greek Legend about the power of true friendship. It is set in the Greek Island of Sicily. Versions of the tale differ, but the best known of these variants is that told by Cicero in De Officiis. When one of the two friends is condemned to death by Dionysius I, tyrant of Syracuse, he asks to be granted time to put his affairs in order. Dionysius refuses until the other of the two offers to die in his stead if he doesn't return at the appointed time. When the condemned man returns at the appointed time, Dionysius is so moved by their friendship that he releases both.

In this TV appearance with Peter Cardwell on Talk TV, I discuss the phenomenon of Muslim Rape Gangs and why it is essential to use the correct language. This is a cultural and religious issue, and we need to become smarter when it comes to detecting our enemies. We cannot keep enabling them to destroy us from within. The incompatibility of the Islamic ideology with the Western ideology is becoming more and more apparent day by day.
This is a recorded livestream with the Leader of Britain First, Paul Golding. We talk about the recent unfounded and false attacks on Tommy Robinson, about the state of the country, the danger of Islam, and the deep failures of Reform UK under Nigel Farage.
Watch another of my appearances on TALK TV talking about the dangers of Islam. This time I am asked about my views on the candidates for Muslim Council in UK being ... well Islamic. Their views might seem extreme to us but to them they are just following their religion. It is for us to decide whether their religion is compatible with us or not. The people we call extremists are actually the ones just following the sunnah of the prophet. They are not radicals, Islam itself is radical. These are the uncomfortable truths that people in the West don't seem to want to admit because once you admit them you are obliged to do something about it.

In this episode of "Thoughts from Soviet Britain", I have a special guest with me, Nick Buckley (MBE). We talk about the OnlyFans mess that certain feminists keep supporting, and when one of the so-called OnlyFans Models decide to have sex with 100 men in one and film it, they are still unable to have that woman take personal responsibility for her actions. Somehow it is the sole fault of men - and those men who participated in this mess created by this OnlyFans prostitute must be arrested and put in jail - as suggested by Julie Bindel. No mention of Lily the OnlyFans Prossie actually putting out application forms, putting this on platform and earning money from it, and then going through with this act. And then later suggesting she wants to do 1000 men in one day. No apparently for feminists, women have both agency and don't have agency, they can make decisions for themselves but not held responsible for the consequences. Strange. This is world we are living in now. If you criticise feminism for promoting harm to women disguised as independence then you are a misogynist.

In this episode of the thoughts from Soviet Britain, I discuss the latest call from Reform UK telling their supporters and others on the political right to basically shut up and put up. Blindly trust them in their project and do not questions anything. And also, sending their influencer lackies to put out this message in the media, that any criticism of Reform UK will result in dividing the right. While I see no attempt made by Reform recently to unite the right. They rather alienate their own than listen to their concerns. I say no more. The public doesn't want another establishment party dictating the terms.
