Omnibus Productions was founded in the sixties because it was felt there was a need for classical films. It made four films with predominantly English casts and production and released on American television. Heidi (1968), David Copperfield (1970), Jane Eyre (1971). Heidi was the most famous because in 1968, as the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders game was still continuing, NBC immediately pre-empted the last quarter to begin Heidi, and the field of gridiron battle switched to a blonde, cheerful Heidi.

Did you know there was once a black African monarch of Scotland called King Ken the Nigger? No? That’s because there wasn’t. King Kenneth II (r.962-967), or “King Kenneth Niger”, or “King Kenneth Dubh”, as he was sometimes known, probably just had black hair rather than black skin, dubh meaning “black” in Gaelic, with niger meaning the same in Latin.

Rebecca (1938)

Christie’s concluding lines about “possessed,” “depressed,” and “homicidal” “love” would sum up the themes of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca as well. The main event in her novel was not the final, cathartic destruction of Manderley House. (more…)

A Tale of Two Cities

It’s always instructive to compare the respective fortunes of England and France, those old enemies. And what better way than to follow the lead of Charles Dickens, take the cultural temperature of both London and Paris, and so tell a tale of two cities? We’ll start with my hometown. (more…)

Election special

There is only one game in town at the moment in the Disunited Kingdom, and it’s the imminent General Election. Until a month ago it was as dull as ditchwater, with Labour expected to trounce that loose collective still inexplicably using the name “Conservative Party” and take the uniparty baton from the oldest political party in the world. There was nothing of interest other than the scale of the drubbing. (more…)

Scotland’s New Leader: White

As of late March, after the appointment of the Zambia-born Vaughan Gething as the First Minster of Wales, the only country in the British Isles with a white leader — albeit a female one — was Northern Ireland.

In April, a white male named Simon Harris replaced the brown-and-gay Leo Varadkar as the Republic of Ireland’s Taoiseach, meaning that the two nations comprising the Emerald Isle were both led by whites. (more…)

New Model Irish Citizen Army

Éire may not seem the concern of the Union Jackal, but we would all like to see a united Ireland, one country without borders and troubles. Unfortunately, Ireland already has no effective border with her sister to the north, and its troubles are due neither to the British nor the Irish Republican Army, but self-willed via its importation of the Third World. Many of the immigrants who come ashore on England’s Kent coast use the country merely as a travelator to get them to Northern Ireland. (more…)

That elusive last puzzle-piece

The jigsaw puzzle that is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland has a piece missing. Of the puzzle’s four parts, as of this month the only non-white premier in Great Britain is Michelle O’Neill, a worryingly white-skinned blonde who obstinately stands in the way of an ethnic minority clean sweep of the UK’s top posts in government.

With the resignation of Welsh premier Mark Drakeford, a black man, Vaughan Gething, was duly elected in his place, and he wasted no time celebrating the fact that he is the first black premier in the European Union. There, you might be tempted to say, goes the neighborhood. (more…)

One of the points Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn bangs home a lot in his classic work of historical research, The Gulag Archipelago, is that political prisoners in the Soviet gulag system were of lower status and were treated worse than actual criminals, such as rapists, thieves, and murderers. This is exactly what happens when a hostile elite takes over a nation. At best, it doesn’t trust the people. (more…)

There has been a Mr. Bond-shaped hole in the National Socialist rap scene ever since ZOG sent the Austrian troubadour up the river for the crime of being a genius. But fear not, for I see from perusing the still-active Mr. Bond fan pages that the white race is continuing to produce lyrical machete-men vying to become Mr. Hassler’s successor as the King of White Nationalist rap. No-Face Nate, a rapper associated with the Will 2 Rise movement, is one such contender. (more…)

The recent tilt towards authoritarianism across Europe and the Commonwealth, aided and abetted by the Covid-19 pandemic which, even if not intentionally manufactured was certainly deliberately manipulated, has a curious aspect. It seems to the casual eye that certain countries have been selected to test-run various globalist designs.

The Antipodean nations, Australia and New Zealand, got to try out statist control with lockdown policies more restrictive than just about anywhere bar China. (more…)
