For all sorts of bizarre and complicated reasons I thought I’d lost my blog. But after a few frustrating days over New Year I finally managed to salvage it. So here’s bit of a ramble to kick off 2026.

TONY BLAIR, EDUCATOR
Some of you were a bit confused by the clip I used to accompany notice of this piece. I’m referring now to what I put up last Thursday on X. What you see below. Let me explain.
You may remember that about 30 years ago prime minister Tony Blair decided that 50% of young people should have the opportunity of higher education. What a wonderful idea! No, not really. Not when you think about.
To achieve this target A level grades and university entrance standards were lowered. Polytechnics became universities. And with the massive expansion of higher education people were taken on as tutors and lecturers who just weren’t up to the job.
Inevitably, academic standards fell. But that didn’t matter. Because the expansion of higher education was done for reasons that could never be said out loud.
So now half the 18+ population was rounded up and penned in to be ‘informed’, ‘influenced’ or, if we’re to be honest – brainwashed. To be brought around to a certain way of thinking and looking at the world.
That was the main reason for the expansion of higher education. And there’s nothing new in this. As this post on X from a few days ago reminded us.
The alternative was to have them leave school and get a job, where they’d work with people who’d experienced life, and held too many of the ‘wrong’ views. The real world, where they might settle down, have children . . .
But the UK economy can never provide jobs for a 50% graduate population. Maybe somewhere like Singapore can do it, or countries with expanding economies, even Gulf states where menial jobs and manual labour are for fixed-contract foreign workers.
But not the UK.
Which meant that at the end of their three years at university young people emerged having studied Racism and Patriarchy in The Simpsons, or Theoretical and Applied Marxism, expecting £70,000 a year (to start), a nice pad, and an endless round of Glasto and dinner parties with enlightened beings such as themselves.
So when they ended up stacking shelves at Tesco they was mighty pissed off.
Those who did find jobs paying reasonable salaries very often found those jobs with NGOs, ‘charities’, pressure groups, third sector bodies, or in politics. Making nothing, generating no wealth, creating no jobs, and adding nothing to society.
But associating with people sharing and reinforcing their ‘values’. And building bubbles insulated from the common herd and the real world this underclass inhabited.
All paid for with someone else’s money. Usually yours, through government funding. Cos decolonising them hateful Welsh cakes don’t come cheap.
Which resulted in the UK (and other Western countries) having a large segment of the younger population poorly educated, devoid of any practical skills, with nothing to offer an employer – but politically brainwashed.
Young people animated by feelings of moral and intellectual superiority, even narcissism, but feeling cheated and resentful because their talents are not properly rewarded by the world into which they’ve graduated.
For them, the reason for their lack of recognition in a declining economy and an increasingly fractured society had nothing to do with their own limitations – it was all the fault of the evils they’d been taught to watch out for and to combat.
Giving the Globalists and their Marxist allies the foot-soldiers needed to further the economic decline and the social divisions desired in order to bring about the demise of Western civilisation.

MAKING WAVES
Something I put out on X last week got a lot of hits, about 35k at the time of writing, so, after some digging, I’m going to expand on it.
First, let me say I’m indebted to the source that sent me the information that set me to digging. I won’t mention names, but you know who you are, so thank you.
What my source picked up was that a company based in Cornwall had received over £2 million from our wonderful, and self-styled, ‘Welsh Government’. To be exact, two million and one pounds. Here’s the clip I was sent.
You’ll see that the name of the company is Inyanga Marine Energy Group Ltd. Naturally, I went to the Companies House (CH) website and looked into the filings for this outfit. Here’s the entry.
Despite the front page describing the company as ‘Active’, it does in fact file as dormant. Wi’ nowt in t’kitty. Though in fairness, the most recent filing is for 2024. Though it suggests that empty coffers is not a new thing.
Seeing as we’re looking into wave energy it seems appropriate to describe this company as a shell. An empty shell.
Here’s a list of Inyanga shareholders. No mention of ‘WG’, and no names I recognise.
Despite this state of inactivity there is a website. And the company has had coverage in the media. That report I linked to in the Falmouth Packet says:
Inyanga Marine Energy Group, based in Penryn, has tasked Hutchinson Engineering with constructing its HydroWing tidal energy device.
The 20 MW HydroWing tidal energy array will be deployed at Morlais, off Anglesey in Wales
Which directs us to another company, HydroWing Ltd, giving an address in Gaerwen, Ynys Môn. Again, there is no mention of a loan from the ‘Welsh Government’. So was the two million smackeroos a grant?
Anyway, I turned to the CH filings for HydroWing Ltd. And found a further two companies of that name! The three are, in chronological order of formation: HydroWing Ltd (30.03.2017); HydroWing Tidal Projects Ltd (10.10.2022); HydroWing Tidal Projects 2 Ltd (16.04.2024).
All give their correspondence address as ‘M S Parc, Parc Gwyddoniaeth Menai, Gaerwen, Ynys Môn, United Kingdom, LL60 6AG’. Also known as Menai Science Park.
Though HydroWing is not listed as a tenant, or even a ‘virtual tenant’, yet Inyanga is. But why list as a dormant company in Cornwall when there are three HydroWing companies giving Companies House the Gaerwen address?
It gets a little more confusing (sorry!) when we try to track the ownership. The oldest HydroWing company is owned by Inyanga. The middle one by Sangoma Energy Projects Ltd of the same address. The latest by Richard James Parkinson.
Sangoma Energy Projects Ltd was formed as recently as February last year. The two directors, and owners, are Richard James Parkinson and a woman I take to be his wife.
Confused? I am.
Let’s briefly turn to the financial situation of these companies. Inyanga, as we’ve seen, files as dormant and with no cash. Here’s the statement for the oldest HydroWing at 31 January 2024. Rather uninspiring.
Here are the shareholders. Some of the same names we saw with Inyanga, with the Parkinson family well represented. But the largest shareholder, with over 1,600,000 shares, is Inyanga itself, the dormant company we started out with. Owned by Mr and Mrs Parkinson.
Based at, Unit 3 Penstraze Business Centre, Penstraze, Chacewater, Truro. Another ‘virtual office’.
The ‘middle’ HydroWing files as dormant with just £100 in the kitty.
The ‘youngest’ is too new to have filed accounts.
All the companies we’ve looked at are Private Limited Companies (as opposed to Public Limited Companies). Which raises the issue of the accounts available with Companies House being so far behind.
For Public Limited Companies normally have six months to file their accounts after the end of their accounting period. Private Limited Companies (and Limited Liability Partnerships) usually have nine months.
But for some reason the Parkinson companies have twelve months, and seem to take every day of it. Accounts for the three HydroWing companies using the Gaerwen address are due with CH by the end of this month.
But even so, it’s difficult to see any Welsh benefit from this money. We seem to have a family-owned Cornish company that’s realised how much money is available in Wales by pushing the right planet-saving buttons.
For to refer back to the piece in the Falmouth Packet . . .
The foundation frame will be partly constructed at Hutchinson Engineering’s factory in Cheshire, with final construction taking place quayside in Wales.
That’s this company. Owned, via Modernuser Ltd, by Dean Drinkwater. A man mighty ‘close’ to Labour – and a fan of both Starmer and Miliband!
The more I dug into the two million quid gift (from us), and its recipients, the more of a rodenty sort of smell assailed the delicate nostrils of my fine – and oft remarked-upon – Roman nose.
There is summat not right here. Looking forward now to reading the next accounts.

MEANWHILE, ACROSS THE POND
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, or relying on mainstream media for news, you’ll know that over in the USA the arrangement between the Globalists, their Democrat party puppets, and their corrupt immigrant allies, is being blown apart.
News coming out of Minnesota makes it clear that Democrat politicians at the highest levels encouraged Somali fraudsters to steal billions from federal funding with all manner of scams. With much of the money going back to Somalia to fund the Islamist terrorists of Al Shabab, even being flown out of Minneapolis-St. Paul airport in suitcases stuffed with cash!
At the rate of a million dollars a day!
The rest of the loot went on luxury homes, jewellery and Rolls Royces for the fraudsters; with millions more going into the campaigns of the Democrat politicians who’d encouraged and covered up the theft.
With some of the loot I’m sure going to ActBlue, the Democrats machine for funding the ‘spontaneous’ protests we see across the USA.
Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. The situation is even worse in California, New York City, Chicago, Michigan, and other places.
Where do the Globalists fit into this picture?
What we see with the widespread abuse of federal funding in the USA, linked with Net Zero deindustrialisation and open borders, is part of the wider agenda to wreck Western economies and societies. To impose decline and encourage despair. To the point of total collapse; when the Globalists will step in to ‘save’ us all with Digital ID, CBDC, censorship, curfews . . .
Fortunately, the Trump administration is taking action.
Of course, the left shouts ‘Racism!‘ and ‘Islamophobia!‘, because whether it’s women with penises or polar bear numbers, the left is averse to facts.
The mainstream media either ignores the story or else targets the messengers, such as twenty-two-year old Nick Shirley.
But this exposure has resonated across America, and is doing the Democrats great harm. Because if you’re a hard-working, tax-paying citizen; black, white or Hispanic, US born or an immigrant through the correct channels, you know you pay too much tax, and when you see that money being ripped off like this, you get angry.
The Democrats were tanking in the polls before these videos went viral, before the evidence emerged, before Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he was pulling out of the gubernatorial race; and so only ballot rigging in the states they still control can save the party from complete wipeout in this year’s mid-term elections.
That the Trump administration understands how the Globalists operate was evidenced by a measure introduced recently that’s had little coverage in the Mainstream media. What a surprise!
Family homes for hard-working, tax-paying, US citizens. How it used to be.
Take 15 minutes to hear in the video below what else Trump is doing to loosen the Globalist grip on the USA. For him it’s about sovereignty, freedom from international bodies that restrict nations’ ability to serve their national interests, and their peoples.
Who can disagree?
It’s done through international ‘agreements’, corruption, money-laundering, and support for, and from, some very unpleasant – but useful or compliant – ‘leaders’.
The Globalists want total control and ownership of everything you think you own, or might want to own. Which explains why BlackRock and other ‘asset managers’ are buying up private homes.
And who do you think will be getting those homes? Well, the future is already playing out in the Globalist colony of Ireland.
You remember what the World Economic Forum (WEF) promised us: “You’ll own nothing, and be happy“. Well, it’s a-comin’.
But only if we allow it.
By happy coincidence the head man at the WEF now is Larry Fink, who just happens to be the CEO of BlackRock. (What are the chances of that happening by accident!)
You must remember Larry, he was over in London not long after his creature Starmer was – for reasons that will ever elude me – elected to manage the UK on the Globalists’ behalf. What a welcome he had!
He came just after, or maybe it was just before, ‘Dr’ Bill Gates of Covid vaccine fame.
Having received his orders to run down and destabilise the UK, to remove freedoms, and to favour certain groups, Starmer has spent the last year or so obeying.
He may even subscribe to the Globalist agenda, but just in case . . . they’ve got the goods on him. And it’s much more than three Ukrainian rent boys, duckie.
Fundamental to the Globalist agenda of destabilising and undermining the West is anti-white racism. This will take many forms. A favourite is to demand ‘reparations’ by pretending that only white people ever practised slavery. Or that only white people were ever colonialists. To disprove both I suggest a cursory study of Islam.
But then, the Globalists are in league with Islam. And Marxism.
That insane ideology that has always failed in practice and is now reduced to an intellectual exercise in the avoidance of truth and reality for embittered losers in academia and elsewhere. But whose suicidally empathetic devotees can be relied on to march with placards and slogans (both ready-made) attacking the institutions of Western civilisation.
So thank God for Trump and the USA.
But as I keep telling you, the rolling back of Globalist plans in the USA means that the focus turns to Europe. And that includes Wales. You think I exaggerate? Just look at the muppets in the Senedd, and then image 36 more of them in May! Or look at the quality of our MPs.
Both virtue signalling SMs and posturing MPs are interested in anything but the real world concerns of 90% of Welsh people. Just feigning interest before elections.

CONCLUSION
I’m coming around to the way of thinking that says the system we live under is too corrupt, too far gone, to be reformed. Too many institutions from the monarchy down have been captured.
We need a complete change. We need a revolution. From the bottom up. For the working class is the last redoubt of patriotism and common sense. (Which explains why it’s now reviled by Marxists.)
I’m not suggesting guillotines, firing squads, or violence of any kind. Just turning our backs on the existing system. Refusing to participate in the charade of electoral politics, rejecting corrupted authority, and creating alternative structures and systems.
As might be done by the population of an occupied country in which the elite had thrown in its lot with the occupier.
The alternative is to let Larry Fink and his mates win, and let their ‘progressive’ puppets introduce you to the joys of twenty-first century, hi tech serfdom.

Is there further reading available on the further education topic? I myself went back to further education in the 2000’s got a useless degree and ended up working for a homeless charity in a job completely unrelated to my degree but I had to earn money from somewhere. After working there for a while I began to realise that all these charities were the same, achieving very little and funded by taxpayers through the Welsh Gov. I learnt nothing from this work only how to box tick have zero practical skills and wish now I’d learnt a trade and never bothered with higher education. Oh well onwards and upwards but I’ve often thought looking back on what was really going on sitting in a class with mostly average or below average intelligence people, who never moved into any employment that was remotely related to the subject we were studying, science based. After I graduated I saw one of my fellow students working in Lidl and another as a train guard for TfW.
I’m not aware of any further reading. Though I’m sure it’s out there. But thanks for your interesting contribution, it bears out what I was saying.
Brilliant Jac. Lot of hard work again.
Thank you.
Spot on. Well done! Identifying the source of the problem is a big part of finding the solution.
You mentioned “Young people animated by feelings of moral and intellectual superiority, even narcissism, but feeling cheated and resentful because their talents are not properly rewarded by the world into which they’ve graduated”.
The profession I’ve seen this manifest badly in too (in recent decades) is MEDICINE but with an important modern twist.
‘Native’ medics growing up here were well versed in how the NHS worked and how it has changed since its early days. They went abroad to work (Australia/ Canada etc and insurance based Health care) for various reasons; better lifestye, better salary, fewer hours, more opportunity. Previously there was the intention of coming back when they’d saved enough money for a good deposit on a new home back in UK. All very reasonable.
However in recent years Medics coming from abroad to work in the UK still think that the NHS is that of 50 years ago when doctors had high status and were very well paid. My husband once told me that as a lad his GP did home visits in Canton Cardiff driving around in his Rolls Royce and everyone stood to attention, mother rushing around tidying up!
Seems imported medics of ‘moral and itellectual superiority, even narcissism’ can’t believe they have been ‘cheated’ and are ‘resentful’ they are not properly rewarded in the GREAT country they thought they were moving to for furthering their career.
Along with the ‘oh so entitled’ middle-class lefty native medics who feel similarly aggrieved for similar reasons, they join forces as Doctor ‘activists’ (many in BMA leadership too) and push for STRIKES, no matter the negative impact on poor patients.
There was a time when becoming a Medical Doctor in the UK was a vocation; a profound, consuming, and deeply personal calling to serve others through healing, rather than just a job or career. Time dedication, emphasis on building relationships, lifelong learning, immense responsibility, and finding deep satisfaction in helping people and stemming from a sense of being “called” to the profession.
DOCTORS striking for God’s sake! DREADFUL.
Thanks for throwing some light on the medical aspect of what I was trying to say. I hadn’t considered it. Though I certainly remember house visits.
Our doctors were Leslie and Clifford George, brothers who had a practice in Manselton and lived in a big house up on Pentregethin Road. One to avoid was a Scottish doctor based somewhere down Pentre Estyll, who might turn up for a house visit after a goodly intake of a product for which his homeland is famous.
Happy days!
I have to point out something of a moral contradiction in your account. You condemn modern doctors for striking for better pay and conditions, and while I cannot argue with this point as regards the means, surely given your description of how things used to be for those in the profession, the ends are justified? You at once long for the times when doctors were wealthier and could afford a Rolls Royce, but deride those who don’t do it for a calling higher than personal enrichment.
A couple of points Dave;
“deride those who don’t do it for a calling higher than personal enrichment”…
You bet I do!
It’s a career that CANNOT be done properly and effectively when one is only in it for personal enrichment. I’ll give you one of many many many examples.
I was working on call overnight and a very experienced community nurse came crying to me telling me that the other doctor on mobile duty from the GP OOHs centre kept dismissing her requests, rolling over to go to sleep. She desperately needed him to go and assess an elderly patient she’d been dealing with in the community who was in a lot of pain.
I was on duty covering the centre (pretty busy at the time) and he was snoring away on one of the beds in a side room. She woke him up, explained her situation but he barely listened before dismissing her. I suppose doing a day job AND overnight job at the same time for a decent amount of money (as some of the foreign doctors I worked alongside seem to do, whilst paying very little tax on these earnings as wage sent back to their home country)…was all very exhausting and he clearly needed his shut eye.
I banged on his door and told him to get off his arse and do the job he was being paid to do and see the patient in need tout suite, which he duly did.
The Rolls Royce senario happened in the 1950s when Medics were largely upper middle-class in the UK. I did state that in more recent decades “Native medics growing up here were well versed in how the NHS worked and how it has changed since its early days”. Thank goodness an effective and efficient NHS evolved by the 1980’s/90’s. Wages reasonable but workload always high. Loving the work you did made it a whole lot more enjoyable. Patients came first.
Australia beckoned for UK medics if you fancied a bit of sun and more pay for less work but it was always going to be a temporary move, coming back home in a year or so. They aint coming back these days.
LABOUR Gov in Wales then Privatised parts of the NHS(OOHs Service) in the early 2000s and the new service provider tightened the belt for profit until things became well ‘strangulated’. They preferentially employed (on lower wages) doctors arriving from abroad with some having very unreasonable expectations, like being entitled to sleep through most of a shift if OOHs. Ofcourse things fell apart and service provision taken a serious nose dive.
So whenever the Labour Party politicians go on about other parties wanting to privatise the NHS, they’ve already been there and got the tee-shirt(conveniently sprayed with invisible dye). They LIE and LIE.
Another undeniable consequence of the Higher Education cartel’s proliferation is an enormous uptick in ‘diversification’ of host towns and cities. Walk around Bangor and listen and look out for a white Welsh person in this day and age and you might be waiting a little longer than in decades gone by.
I was on Bangor High Street a few years back and thinking I was in Hong Kong.
Have you officially crossed the Rubicon whereby helpful reminders to the reader that X was formerly Twitter are discontinued?
I have. I think everybody knows by now.
“What we see with the widespread abuse of federal funding in the USA, linked with Net Zero deindustrialisation and open borders, is part of the wider agenda to wreck Western economies and societies. To impose decline and encourage despair. To the point of total collapse; when the Globalists will step in to ‘save’ us all with Digital ID, CBDC, censorship, curfews . . .”
Spot on again Jac. A great post to start 2026. I totally agree with your conclusion. Creating alternative structures and systems is the way forward before it’s too late.
Getting involved with a corrupt system may not be the answer.
Here in Wales we have a similar system to what’s now being exposed in the USA. If, by some fluke, Reform gets a majority of seats in May, then its first job should be to cut all public funding to NGOs, third sector bodies, ‘charities’, and assorted grifters. There will of course be cries of ‘Racism!’, ‘Discriminating against the vulnerable’, etc., etc.
But tell these chisellers to persuade the public – not a committee in Corruption Bay – that the money they’ve been receiving was well spent.
Then a Reform administration should tell the public how it would spend the money saved. On the NHS, the economy, education, infrastructure and other things far more important than ‘letters of comfort’.
A revolution always with one eye on the caveat of “Be careful what you wish for”, surely? We wouldn’t want another Bolshevik overthrow of the Tsars, Castro’s overthrow of Batista and the like, after all. Christ, even teen flick/novel franchise The Hunger Games exists on one level as a cautionary tale of revolutionaries themselves becoming the villains once they assume power, so it’s a simple concept for everyone to be mindful of.
I always had a soft spot for old Fidel. I always saw him as a nationalist who had to ‘adapt’ to the situation in which he found himself.
If my country was being exploited in the way Cuba was, and if it was being facilitated by a corrupt regime like Batista’s, then I might have taken to the hills with a few others to reclaim my country for its people. But in so doing Castro made powerful enemies. United Fruit, CIA, the Mob.
He found himself so isolated that the USSR was his only option. I know he mouthed the slogans, but I was never entirely convinced.
Fidel was at first a 50-50 ball. Had the US had the wit to give him moral support and maybe chuck a bit of money into rebuilding Cuba I suspect Fidel and his crew would have come good. However Mob money interests were badly savaged by the fall of Batista, the sugar companies were linked to the Mob (probably worked with them on importing other “brown” sugar”) and the CIA had invested in Batista as a bastion against whatever was construed to be the threat of the day ,just as they did with other lunatics in Central America who were mostly crooks with control of their countries.
A guy called James Ellroy wrote a series of novels, fact woven into fiction, which gives a crude yet believable insight into the bad actors of that era.
I would like one of those “letters of comfort” with funds attached. Would make a nice change from HMRC messages telling me to pay up by 31st Jan despite fact that I’ve been PAYE since retiring years ago. Cunts chase small earners yet fail miserably to round up big debts.
Btw Polys became Uni’s before Bliar’s time. He just let them all run riot teaching bollox to degree level while cutting so many courses of real value.
I’m not sure what form they take. Is it really a letter? “Dear Grifter, We’re ever so sorry . . . “.
Polys became Unis in the 1990s, so it’s around the same time.
A few of the Plate Glassers are actually quite revered institutions, to give them their due. Warwick and Cranfield spring to mind.
There are always exceptions. They prove the rule.
Sadly, here we go again. As I have ranted on over the years there is so much wrong I dont know where to start. So many fake companies and I am sure the majority of a lot of the money going into these disappears completely. Human nature, friends, friends of friends…I did see it all and it was an education. But a lot of people are also totally oblivious to what goes on..they havent a clue that publishing expenditure is part of the rules of devolution. As I get older I see more and more people who just dont know. Its not their problem and until the internet goes down and no cash or food or whatever its not their problem and that is the main issue…its not their problem a society where the granny state has taken over…
How will they know? The political system is corrupt. The media carefully managed. And if Starmer and his bosses have their way we’ll soon have something close to full censorship.
we live in a world where until it all goes wrong and doesnt affect us it ok…no one cares…plod on with their lives…its how it is…not my problem, always someone elses.
Excellent observations, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Some things need to be said.
