Bows and Arrows

The famous quote, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones,” is most famously attributed to Albert Einstein, though it reflects a common sentiment after WWII, also linked to figures like General Omar Bradley and Lord Mountbatten.   

Einstein likely paraphrased this idea, suggesting a nuclear WWIII would devastate civilization so much that WWIV would revert to primitive weapons, but the original “sage” [for these words] might be unknown – Google AI Overview.    

Editor:  Red Brick would like to add ‘Bows and Arrows’ to the above statement regardless of who made it.  We just hope that is all it was, a statement, a word to the wise and not a message from the divine prophesied through an earthly messenger.   

Today we provide two memes containing statements made recently during 2025 over at Swampminster ‘Lower House’ by the two leaders of the main UK parties, collectively known as the ‘Uni-Party.’   

However, so that our own article makes sense before the party….err, no, typo….the parody begins, we would like to draw your attention to the following image / articles below, which will provide the necessary context re this article and its title:   

 https://www.wsws.org/en/topics/event/2014-coup-ukraine   

We have shown our subscribers the above image / post before and it is always worth mentioning it again, because if a war with Russia does kick off, then at least it might be interesting to know some of the events and or actions from those involved, whether their involvement has been overtly, covertly or by proxy, which has brought the East and the West to go toe to toe with each other.   

The following is part of the Wikipedia version for why the events kicked off in Ukraine leading to the ‘2014 Revolution of Dignity.’  Needless to say both accounts differ as to why the ‘revolution’ started, although you will not be surprised to know that the European Union has its DNA splashed all over both versions.   

I doubt whether you will see headlines such as those in image 1 above contained within the Mainstream Media (MSM) ‘fish and chip wrappers,’ at least not anytime soon, although should you decide to take an evening constitutional along a seafront and decide to have some fish and chips, and do happen to see an article re Ukraine peek out from under the chips in your ‘fishy-chippy-wrapper’ giving their version on Ukraine, them make sure you  go and do your own research and decide for yourself where the truth and or the facts rest easily.    

Today, we welcome back two favourites, guest writer, Political Historian and Student of Humanity, Professor Vic Swaddel and our very own Serrsule Brandt, who reports on both French and German International Affairs, both of whom will give their opinions on the two statements made recently over at Swampminster SW1 re the Ukraine-Russia War.    

A previous article which adds context to this article was written by Serrsule titled, ‘Tory MP Confirms UK is at War.’  Serrsule’s article can be found using the following link:

Also, before we start, I would like to once again introduce the latest addition to our UK Red Brick staff, Penn Curns,’ whose nickname is ‘Q-tip’ and will be heading Red Brick’s UK Diversity, Inclusion and Exclusion Department (DIE).   

This article will be concluded with a comment from Penn Curns.  You will see Q-tip’s preferred pro-nouns written within the next image.   

Q-tip identifies as a gender fluid non-binary, trans-pansexual, hetro-lesbian and when there is a full-moon in the sky, likes nothing better than to have a good ‘howl’ at it to shoo out those stress cobwebs.   

Q-tip’s main interests are buying high-heeled shoes and weightlifting, having recently set a ‘personal best’ by bench-pressing 400lbs.

Professor Vic Swaddel will be commenting on the short speech made by the UK Prime Minister…. you know …. him…. err…. ‘wotsizname.’  Serrsule will add her own thoughts and opinions to the article re the statement made by the Shadow Prime Minister, Kemi Badenoch.   

Oh look, Red Brick’s political ‘wizardess’ Rusty Retton has popped in and would like to say a word.   

Thank you and hello all.  I have to admit that I find myself in a state of trepidation as we head into 2026, that is, once we have gotten past the Governments’ speel and the King’s speech about how the world is all one big happy family and what joys the coming year 2026 will bring, messages I have already had to position myself upwind from and will continue to do so in order to avoid the stench.   

I tell you what we won’t hear, in my opinion, of course, you will not be hearing about hands across the ocean in the name of peace handing out ‘olive branches’ to make the world a safer, better place.  You have about as much chance of that happening as the warring nations getting together under the mistletoe and giving each other one big ‘smoochie,’ although if they did put this to the vote as a way of preventing conflict, the result would be a ‘divided one’ in my opinion, of course.     

What I do expect to hear is very clever manipulation of words worked subtly into the New Year messages by the warmonger’s that for us to enjoy our future Christmases’ and New Year days, people must be prepared to make sacrifices in the name of and wait for it….yawn….’our values, our democracy, diversity is our strength and some other ‘snappy’ catchphrase borne out of some Non-Government Organisation (NGO) full of highly paid ‘Ologists,’ paid for ‘hand over fist’ with taxpayers money.  OK, here is the first meme containing the actual words spoken by the Prime Minister….err….wots’….the Prime Minister of the UK.   

Professor Vic Swaddel:   So, the Prime Minister, ‘wotsizname,’ first sentence was as predictable as it was hypocritical and yes, also mundane, parroting the narrative to ensure that the handful of UK everyday people who still listen to him, including his own….err… once voting base, are given the appearance that all is good and at any time NATO wants, they will deliver a good ‘ass kicking’ to the Russian Bear.   

I would have once, sarcastically, added ‘If you think poking the bear is a good idea then good luck with that one,’ however, given that he and his ilk are talking about what might be the sending of millions of young men and women to their deaths, some of whom would, no doubt, be people we would know, the deep sickness I feel now in the pit of my stomach at the mere thought of such futility prevents me from such light-hearted satirical banter, although I’m sure you, the reader, understand the point I am making.       

I treasure the naivety in me because despite the UK’s miserable dystopian demise, there is still a part of me even at this late hour in the day that, maybe ‘wotsizname’ when he stands at the despatch box announcing what he describes as “Putin’s aggression, illegal actions and total disregard for human life,” will in his next speech acknowledge the inhumane treatment of the Palestinian women and children at the bloody hands of the Israeli Government, and not at the hands of the very brave Israeli citizens including those in the military, who have and still are standing up to their own government.   

I had hoped that I was going to see another side of the PM, you know, the side that ‘snivelled’ its way into becoming the UK’s Prime Minister, however, alas, nuttin, nowt, nada, no mention of the Genocidal Land Clearances in Gaza being carried out by an Israeli Government operating with impunity and without regard for the suffering of innocent children.  Anyways, what did the leader of the opposition party have to say in response to ‘wotsizname’s’ speech.   

Editor:  Your turn, Serrsule.   

Serrsule Brandt:  Thank you Ed.  Sadly, Kemi, just like ‘wotsizname,’ disappointed with no mention of the millions of defenceless human beings around the world whose waking moments consist of:  ‘How many of my family and friends did I lose to ‘pointless wars’ yesterday and how many will I lose today?’  You would think that either or both the Leaders of the Labour and Conservative Parties whilst discussing the ‘disregard for human life’ in Ukraine, would have displayed a degree of empathy by mentioning the plight of others who each and every day live hand to mouth not knowing if the meal they are eating will be their last.   

Perhaps between both their well scripted speeches, carefully prepared for them by their ‘speech writers,’ and my understanding of political ‘guff speak,’ they did mention the suffering of people outside of Ukraine, although their delivery of such words failed to impact on me.  If there was a message of hope for the children around the world who suffer daily because of Globalist wars, then I must have missed or lost it in the translation, or perhaps, it was never there in the first place.   

I do still hope that the suffering of others around the world might, hopefully, sooner rather than later, lead to the UK Government and other NATO Governments doing a full one-eighty, a complete U-turn on their war narrative and turn to peace as the solution, the only solution to resolve international differences.   

I thought the Shadow PM was reading from the same speech the PM had only read from a few moments ago, or at least a rehash of it, with a few added comical extras, the well-worn speech ‘fillers’ overly worked, overly used and the outdated ‘fear porn,’ the go-to’s of both past and present, you know, China and Iran.   

Before any of you get on your high horse let me make it clear, if I am anti anything, then I am anti-war and the sanctity of life should be everyone’s interest regardless of our / their differences, including the more technologically advanced societies helping the less developed societies to better themselves and not dividing them for the individual and or collective gain of individuals and or other countries.  I will leave this part of the article at that to avoid a Red Brick digression, but before I go – a meme:   

A Final Word from Penn Curns:  Red Brick is anti-war and makes no apologies for that and why should we, because history shows us that wars are about an idiocy of the few and or are manufactured with an ulterior motive in mind.   

Perhaps we are being played and the UK Prime Minister who is not a well-liked chap, pulls one out of the hat and defies all expectations and becomes the Russia / European Union go-between and brokers a ‘love-in’ between the East and West, where upon they intermingle culminating in mutually gratified satisfaction resulting in a ‘peace deal.’  Yikes, imagine ‘wotsizname’ becoming the hero, however, ‘hold your horses Daddio.’   

Ahh yes, peace amongst nations and good will to all men would be a result, in the high and unlikely event that this does happen, it might well result in the UK Electorate returning ‘wotsizname’ or at least his party back into office at the next UK election, and if you think what is happening now in the UK is dystopian, ‘thenna bub-bub-baby you aint seen nuthin yet!’  Think of that, another term of 5 years of the Labour Party after the next election, notwithstanding the fact that the Labour Party still has three and a half years to go in office to screw the UK citizens over.   

Still, there is always the FIFA World Cup 2026 to watch, sitting in front of your tv, stuffing processed food takeaway shit down your gullet, drinking shitey sugary pop and or throwing the deliberately manufactured low price alcohol down your neck whilst the ‘Bread & Circus’ of ‘sport, sport, sport and more feckin sport’ shreds your brain.    

Perhaps ‘Aileen Wuornos’ was right, in part at least, when she said:   

“I’d just like to say I’m sailing with the Rock, and I’ll be back like Independence Day with Jesus, June 6th, like the movie, big mother ship and all.  I’ll be back,  I’ll be back.”   

Perhaps she did seek the forgiveness of the Lord Jesus and knew something we did not, before having to leave this mortal coil prematurely through her own bad choices.  When the Good Lord does return, I am sure it will not be quite as how she described it will be.   

Aileen Wuornos was executed in Florida in 2002 for killing six men.  The above were her last words.   

Team Red Brick.
