The tourist office in Bath knows how to tell the punters what they want to hear:-

The golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years.  Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, such as the Roman Baths and Pump Room, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and the Circus.  The surrounding seven hills, the river Avon running through the heart of the city, and the towers of Bath Abbey combine to create a wonderful first impression.

Unfortunately, there is a second impression.  Bath also has an underclass (in Snow Hill), and it has all the precious gifts of diversity.  On checking the BBC’s report of the murder of father-of-two Paul Kelly, 32, on New Year’s Day I happened across Bathradar, a blog giving “sexed up local news for Bath”.  The Longacre Tavern, where Mr Kelly was repeatedly stabbed to death, has been accorded two posts.

One of these publishes the poem also reproduced in this BBC link.  It has been fly-posted around the city and it gives a name for the young black killer of Mr Kelly:-

My name is Joel ... joel godfrey on your site.  I am a city boy aged thirty-four, a product of the inner-city schools, a product of lower income neighborhoods, black and white, and a product of a failed vision of this world.  The reason I’m writing this article today is not because I hate anyone, and it’s not because I want to control those that hate me.  The reason I’m writing about my awakening to racial reality is because I can see people that look like myself living in negative ways, destroying themselves, destroying their heritage and destroying their right to live in their own homeland.  The self-destruction I see in European American society, and in European society too, is the reason why I am with you on this site today.

I was not always like this.  I was not always given to views that are labeled “intolerant” by the oblivious crowd-thinkers of my country.  But today I have an alternative to that crowd-thinking, because sites such as this are willing to speak the truth.

How, you might ask, did I get here?

The lead story in today’s Times may prove the last Labour straw for the middle-class.

Secondary students will be offered cheap school transport under plans to open up popular schools in wealthy areas to pupils from poorer neighbourhoods, as well as to promote eco-friendly travel.

Pupils will be charged a maximum of 50p a journey for travelling on school buses or chartered coaches, or for passes for public buses or trains, the Department for Education will announce today. The subsidised travel will be available from September 2008 to all secondary school pupils in 20 pilot local authorities, regardless of ability to pay. Poor children will not have to pay at all.

The plan is part of a move to end the middle-class stranglehold on popular schools in expensive areas and to encourage sustainable travel for pupils by reducing the number of cars on the school run.

For posterity, I’m posting a 1998 article from the IEEE USA titled IEEE-USA/HARRIS POLL: U.S. PUBLIC OVERWHELMINGLY OPPOSED TO H-1B VISA EXPANSION, subsequent to which the dot-con bubble imported hoards of “engineers” from Asia who then, with their strong sense of ethnic nepotism, held on to their jobs in the US as the tech industry contracted, thereby throwing the European American boomer men, who built the tech industry, out on the street, wholesale, leaving them to fight for minimum wage jobs with illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Details of the murder of former England medium-fast bowler and Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer, in his hotel room in Jamaica on 18th March, continue to appear in the international press.  Since there are no reports at this stage of money or valuables missing from Woolmer’s possessions, the killer or killers seem unlikely to have come from Jamaica’s hyper-active criminal class.  The speculation, therefore, is firmly centred on two possibilities:-

1) Woolmer was murdered because he was about to blow the lid on the insanely profitable phenomen of match-fixing in the game, possibly in a book he was working on.

2) Woolmer was murdered by a fanatical Pakistan supporter who did not take too kindly to the team, ranked third among playing nations, exiting the World Cup so early.

Not many people think it is the second possibility.  But if it is the first, it will have profound ramifications for the future of the international game.

Until 1977, when the late Kerry Packer launched his circus with lucrative contracts to the cream of international talent, cricketers were the poorest of sporting professionals.  The county player is still not rich.  But international players earn several time average salary.  The wealthiest of them are Indians, and on top of the heap is Sachin Tendulkar who clears 5 million US dollars a year, almost all from endorsements.

This, though, pales into insignificance beside the billion dollars per game it is thought possible for bookies to make by illegal betting in India.  While the rewards are so high it could not be expected that players’ hands would remain clean.  When found, corruption has been vigorously prosecuted.  But it has almost certainly been more widespread than the ICC wants to admit.  Murder, however, changes everything.  It is far beyond any illegalities of the past, and marks a deeply sinister turn for a once gentlemanly pastime.  Is cricket ready to be taken down some South Asian moral sewer?

At the end of this affair, the ICC will likely have to ban Pakistan from internationals for a period of years.  It is not beyond the realms of possibility that India, where the nidus exists, will pay a heavy price too.  The bookies, no doubt, will survive no matter what.

In Postcivil Society: Empty the Cities I outlined a vision of the kind of world that might result from the destruction of Western Civilization—a postcivil society in which the panmictic vectorism of so-called “globalization” is replaced by much more localized economies and social experiments.  The driver for that coming postcivil society wasn’t exactly specified, but one potential was a pandemic with virulence driven higher by vectorism.  An alternative source of pandemics is bioengineering.

A recent article by Robert Carleson, titled “The Pace and Proliferation of Biological Technologies” essentially predicts that personal bioweapons labs capable of producing deadly pandemics will be widespread in about a decade.  This means that the kinds of people who now develop computer viruses may turn their talents to real viruses—and not all of these people will be “playful” about it.  As I see it the primary potentials here are:

1. A team of reproductively disenfranchized East Asian and/or Israeli men building a pathogen that kills men in high population areas except those with a selected group of Y-Chromosomes.  This selectivity requires some careful engineering.
2. A reproductively disenfranchized “loner”—most probably northern European/Russian heritage—concocting a much less selective pathogen that kills anyone unfortunate enough to be in a high population density area.  Its easier to kill indiscriminately.

Not an overly “majoritarian” issue this week.  But Martin Hutchinson’s mini-tour of the global investment hotspots makes a good read, even if you’re poor like me.

Breaking the BRICs

Over the last few years, emerging market investment has been overwhelmingly centered around the concept of the “BRIC” group of emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India and China. These countries were supposed to be the giants of 2050 and the only emerging markets that a truly Important institutional investor should consider, because of their liquidity. Like most ideas spawned by investment banks (truly original minds are weeded out by the banks’ Darwinian appraisal systems pretty rapidly) this idea was vapid and silly at the time. More interestingly, it is now a recipe for gigantic investment losses. There are economies in the world with excellent medium term prospects, but none of the BRICs qualify.
