On February 10th, British Airways – the UK’s flag carrier – made history! What did they do? Fly to a destination in record time? Put the world’s largest passenger airplane into service? Announce a revolutionary new type of aviation technology?
No. They made ‘history’ by operating the first flight with an all black crew – the first flight in which everyone involved (from ground staff and gate agents to cabin crew and pilots) was a black person.
According to some of the many, many news sites that covered this ‘story’, the ‘historic’ flight was part of the UK’s Black History Month. Not being aware that it was Black History Month, I had to double-check online.
Apparently, the UK’s Black History Month is actually October, and it’s America’s Black History Month that runs in February. (I’m not sure who decides these things.) So either British Airways got the date wrong, or more likely, the news sites wrongly assumed that Black History Month is the same in both countries.
According to a passenger on board, the pilot “announced” the news – whereupon the passengers “clapped”. This isn’t quite as surprising as it sounds, as the flight was from Barbados whose population is 92% black. It would admittedly be somewhat surprising if a flight from, say, Tokyo erupted into applause after hearing the same news.
I think you’ll agree this whole thing is very bizarre. And it would be just as bizarre with any other ethnic group (although it would obviously never happen with white people, as the airline would be instantly denounced as “white supremacists”).
Why, exactly, is having an all black crew an achievement? I don’t think anyone doubted that black people work in the airline industry. And British Airways has around 35,000 employees. So all they’ve really done is take a bunch of staff who happen to be black, and assign them to one particular flight.
In case you were wondering whether this happened by accident, and that’s why it’s news, it didn’t. A spokesman for the airline told Business Insider, “We’re proud to have supported our Be ME (Being of a Minority Ethnicity) colleague network group to organise British Airways’ first ever all Black colleague flight”.
Shuffling staff around according to ethnicity – truly something to be proud of. And will they now organise an all Indian colleague flight, or an all Chinese colleague flight? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
How I discovered the ‘story’ is also worth mentioning. It was shared on Twitter by a woman named Pippa Malmgren (who was apparently an advisor to President George W. Bush). She wrote, “It’s about time. Statistically this should be happening on a regular basis.”
Malmgren may not have realised it was a woke publicity stunt. But we can still ask: should this be happening on a regular basis? Not even close.
If we generously assume that staff on flights between London and Bridgetown are recruited half from Britain and half from Barbados, the expected proportion black is about 50%. And suppose the flight crew comprises 20 people. The chance of every one of them being black is then 0.0001. It would be like flipping a coin 20 times in a row, and getting heads every single time.
What we’re meant to be ‘celebrating’ here is essentially a racially segregated workplace. The presence of only one ethnicity is now something positive. We’ve gone from “Celebrate diversity!” to “Celebrate homogeneity!”

Thanks for this interesting take on the matter.
“Quite why the rich and financial institutions are so intent on grabbing agricultural land, I don’t know.”
I don’t claim to know why they are, but it’s not exactly surprising, is it? I mean, we all need food so if you own the land the food comes from then you control the food supply. Why would you not want to do that? Also, land is the classic limited commodity – if you can, why not corner the market, at a knockdown price.
The real interest of all the people is that a Land Value Tax is implemented so as to give much of the inherent value to the community leaving the added value for the owners.
Assuming you mean that this would replace most/all other taxes, I think the idea has some merit.
Follow the money, follow the power, follow the control. Classic operational Master of the Universe mentality. Masters (and Mistresses) of a kind master and mistress together.
Also known more prosaically as Headmaster and/or Head Girl Syndrome.
Resist!
Mass governmental run (wef,un,nato,who,blackrock) industrial food production for the masses = complete overarching control that beats communism out of the ball park! All this to be done nice and slowly and patiently so as not to enrage the prolls! if anyone mentions what’s happening just call it, say.. mis or disinformation!
I wonder what blue chips bought many of the Dutch farms before they voted in that new party that saves their ass! A few committed suicide because of being forced off their land because if these fake nitrogen initiatives. Evil WEF psychopaths pushing this with the Build Back Better mantra.
It is so they control the food supply. And if you control the food supply, you control the people (you allow to live).
All part of the CONTROL and depopulation Agenda.
M. Zermansky’s “Declined” looking more and more like our future.
“Quite why the rich and financial institutions are so intent on grabbing agricultural land, I don’t know.”
Crikey, I’ve been banging on about how the Davos Deviants wish to destroy the country pretty much since the Scamdemic started. The intention to steal our farmland is part of this destruction. Our farmers are the backbone of this country, hard-working, enterprising, entrepreneurial and committed, qualities which must be eradicated in order to destroy Britain and its people – not discounting hordes of muslim Gimmigrants of course. And once organisations take control of land which they will not have a clue how to manage the food shortages are built in. Starving populations are of course much easier to manage.
Useless solar and wind farms are simply cover ups for taking good agricultural land out of the food production chain so let’s not be kidded by this crap.
Quite why David Craig fails to see the obvious is beyond me.
The aim of the globalists / Davos Deviants is the destruction of Great Britain. Simple as. Stealing farmland from farmers is but one part, albeit a massive part of the equation.
Agreed, those who control the food supply control the people. We will be subjected to food which has high levels of chemicals, where the prices are controlled by cartels of producers, who as they do in the States fund the political party that looks after the best interests of the corporate heads.
When the Dutch farmers were being turfed out on a massive scale, people were theorising what the purpose of all this is; we know the excuse was nitrogen fertilizer but what was the real reason. People like Dr Dave Martin talked about plans to merge some cities with towns etc with the development of ‘Smart Cities’, others talked about large Food Hubs including the Dutch PM at the time.
Chemicals, AND the mRNA clot-shots of course.
I do see the obvious. But rather than state it, I preferred to let readers come to their own conclusions. My point with this article was to do the research to expose Labour’s corruption, as not a single mainstream media journalist seems to have noticed the way abrdn have used Labour to enrich themselves at our expense.
Thanks for your response.
I’d assume they cosied up to the other half of the Uniparty before Labour had a go…
I remember arguing with a farmer who was not that clued up in the DD Globalists; He told me people have no business in looking into why Bill Gates is buying up so much farmland in the US because he is a private citizen. I hope that particular person has changed his mind on that, because being a small farmer, he is the turkey that would vote for Christmas.
He would have a point had Gates not made it clear his desire to meddle in our lives and as such negate his right to privacy.
Well the first five of us to comment on this article have all come to the same conclusions. No surprise there then.
It’s reasonable to assume this chap would also concur…LOL;
A Labour Party activist is ill advised to knock on this man’s door.
“Labour can f**k off, Labour have fucked this country right up, full of f**king Muslims & all this sh*t. This country is f**ked”.
“F**k off Labour scum”.

Now that chap should be on the honours list!
I suspect he’s a Reform voter, personally.
Quality Mogs. Quality.
A gentleman of fervent perspicacity and admirable loquaciousness!
Top video, made me chuckle!
As government and bureaucracy has ‘blossomed’, there have been two serious implications for national government, neither of which are desirable
One. It has been possible for ‘leaders’ to avoid leading, by abdicating power upwards. A prime example of this is the EU. We could pay 650 British MP’s just to keep their rubber stanps inked, and meanwhile to amuse themselves [at our expense] chasing libidinous SPADs around Westminster. There was no longer a need for them to even pretend to manage anything, even though some tried very hard to give the impression that they did [Hancock, BoJo, Covid]. The Climate Change Act was another egregious example of this, in fact anything involving the WHO
Two. There has been a proliferation of rules, laws and requirements introduced below the level at which MP’s can intervene. 20mph in Wales; everything in Scotland. MPs are saved the hassle of having to manage matters, they just leave it to others, policies are enacted which have never been debated at Westminster.
And if you are not qualified for the job but get dumped into HM Treasury as a stooge, what better than adopting the thinking undertaken by others [Demos] and making it your very own policy? Follow the money on that one, though….
World’s most valuable farmland? Ukraine.
World’s most expensive real-estate land?
1. Maui. Up for sale after devastating fire.
2. Palm Beach. Up for sale after devastating fire.
3. Pacific Palisades. Up for sale after devastating fire.
I hesitate to comment, as my brain is starting to feel like a broken record, but we now have another connection between Labour and ‘the bosses’ wanting to destroy the structure of the country. Now if it was the Tory party, I could understand the dotted line from party, through think tank to evil globalists, but this is the workers’ party, the party of the downtrodden, and here’s where I become the broken record – who are the 25% still supporting this lawyer run, capitalist supporting, globalist lackey political party?
The Civil Service, wider Public Sector, University Sector, “Charity” Sector, large proportion of ethnic minorities, esp Muslims, welfare claimants and many in the traditional working class Labour-voting areas “cos we all vote Labour.”
Down to 25% in the polling. I reckon they could go down another 5% as some in the traditional working class Labour vote and Muslims abandon them.
20% will be rock bottom.
I suspect it’s because they know that the current western economic structure is likely to collapse at some point. At that point the fundamental truth will emerge: you still have to eat.
In contrast, other assets, like your latest fancy iPhone, will not necessarily be that useful.
“And around 1800 the Government started a Hat Tax. Each hat had to have a stamp sewn into it to show that it was legal. The penalty for forging these stamps was death”
Reminds me of the book ‘London’s Underworld’. Three Centuries of Vice & Crime. In it he mentioned that you could also get the death penalty of the stealing of Hops! suppose they liked their beer, and mead!
The WEF “you will own nothing” quote, was it just a prediction or an intention. There are National Plans here in the UK that they never talk about, apart when Stanley Johnson says the quiet bit out loud.
Whatever their motive it’s certainly sinister, and certainly bodes ill for normal people.
With arch globalist 2TK in downing street it’s hard to see how this ends eny time soon.
How many more families’ livelihoods will be destroyed before these people are stopped?
Anybody’d think the Great Taking was really a thing…
Makes my f@cking blood boil.
In a crowded field this lot are going to be the most unpopular government in history, and they’ve only been in 6 months, 11 days and 14 3/4 hours…
What the late Christopher Booker used to call “A sledgehammer to crack a nut that completely misses the nut”
Unless the nut is completely different from what they say it is.
Their behaviour is based on the assumption that there will be very few of us left. You need a base number, say 800,00, just to keep the infrastructure going. Making sure that nuclear power plants don’t melt down etc. Believe me they want us out of the way. The tightening of the financial noose is just a harbinger of what is to come. Everything is being strangled, fertiliser production for example. You can easily glean the effect of massive fertiliser production reductions and they have done it so that at least a third of the world population will have nothing to eat. Just in case you have a hard time in thinking of these people as ruthless.
Perhaps we should view our political leaders as “farmers” and the populace as “livestock”?
Or Prize Pigs and the other animals.
Yes, the “useless eaters” statement explains Agenda and therefore their behaviour.
Good article by David Craig, with useful information about Gates’ huge landholdings, also mentioning Stalin and the Kulaks, and asking about the reasons. Here are a few reasons:
1) Bill Gates, speaking for the Globalists, vowed to “Abolish Animal Agriculture”, including dairy and fishing, to force us all to be Docile Vegans Eating Bugs. Hence the decimation of the UK fishing industry.
2) Famine. Depopulation Agenda 21, set for 2030. Holodomor II.
3) “The Hunger Games”.
Sounds much like the continual destruction of “prime property” in the USA. Hawaii, California, which state is next? Only our financial institutions that keep getting mentioned are Blackrock and vanguard. Reminds me of the NWO…you will own nothing and be
. You will eat bugs. Up until a few months ago, the feds were harassing a famous Amish farmer who was selling unpasteurised milk to his many customers. I can tell you right now, the new administration has many battles ahead, but when President Trump says he will address the tax system in the USA, it is coming.
What I don’t understand is how all of us Global Vegan Serfs will be eating bugs, which are technically “animals”, and therefore not vegan.
Bill Gates’ plan to “Abolish Animal Agriculture” must also include abolishing “Insect Farming”, Eating Bugs and his much-vaunted Fake Bug Meat, because they are also “Animal Agriculture”.
And to think of all that money he’s invested in Bug Meat, all to be abolished under his own plan!
A farm is probably worth an awful lot in carbon credits, so ditching the fiat currency for land that will work in the new technocratic world order is very sensible for these financial only institutions.
The benefit that it gives more leverage on the people because you control the food supply, that is probably just an added bonus.
