Peter Murrell is in prison tonight. But questions remain about how he was able to embezzle such a large sum of money, for so long, without SNP officials noticing. And without arousing the suspicions of the party leader, his wife, Nicola Sturgeon. @itvnewshttps://t.co/zyoTH0QkIzpic.twitter.com/fS9tFASqIL
As with less-publicized cases of embezzlement —the (typically?) fat unattractive primary school headmistress who embezzles from her school, the accountant of a small or large charity who embezzles from his or her employer— what strikes one, usually, and certainly in the Murrell/Sturgeon case, are the banalities of the crime.
The purchases made with the embezzled monies in the SNP case included salt and pepper mills made by Lalique (bought for £2,600); coffee machines (costing thousands); Montblanc pens; watches.
Then there is the £125,000 motorhome…
There is something about the sheer tasteless cheesiness of it all that is a perfect fit with the Sturgeon/Murrell lifestyle, and with the SNP in general. Look at the Sturgeon/Murrell house, for example: a tasteless modern tract-house with no real gardens (just the ubiquitous tiny lawn in the “front garden” etc), and in a soulless neighbourhood that seems, seen on TV news, to be without many trees or bushes.
Regular readers of the blog will know that I usually avoid writing much about Scotland and Scottish politics. I do not follow Scottish matters in detail, and in fact have never been north of Hadrian’s Wall. However, one cannot fail to note how fake the whole SNP thing is— a “nationalist” party, supposedly, that regards blacks or Pakistanis born in, or even just living in, Scotland as more “Scottish” than any Englishman from England (even if living in Scotland), and even if part-Scots by ancestry. It’s mad.
Both the SNP and Scottish Labour have in recent years been led by Pakistanis.
Those parties cannot be taken seriously.
Not that I necessarily oppose Scotland going its own way, though it never will. If it were to do so, it would be a very poor little country, and quite likely ruled by a corrupt and cultureless cabal such as that which coalesced around Nicola Sturgeon and her (equally or even more-) corrupt and dishonest husband.
I have had little contact with SNP supporters over the years. The couple I have encountered (online) were both censorious and ignorant.
Incidentally, I think that Nicola Sturgeon is probably a lesbianka, but I suppose I may be wrong.

Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.
[“Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have.
Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left.
The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out.
Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027.
The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats.
The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.“]

Britain and Russia should be standing together.
Someone just pointed out to me, Blair's article is actually a classic example of "Client Laundering". He has a number of major AI clients, and if you read the "essay", it's peppered with AI references. So he writes an article ostensibly about Labour, gets a huge response, then…
New Labour was literally built on the belief the party needed a charismatic, youthful leader who could specifically position himself in a place on the political spectrum that would enable him to take votes from the Tories. https://t.co/fDhmbjcljK
Genuinely amazed that some people are praising Tony Blair’s intervention. Labour’s problems – and the problems facing the country – are a direct result of his failure to understand how his messianic New Labourism was simply not delivering for vast swathes of working Britain.
Tony Blair: “Unleash the private sector across Britain to innovate and take risks”.
If you see the consequences of 45 years of neoliberalism in this country and think “We need more of this”, it seems possible that you are a dangerously unhinged sociopath. https://t.co/2dCiKfbAbH

That first tweeter is a former “Conservative” now gone over to Reform. Sounds like she is pro-Jewish lobby, probably pro-Israel, and not really even anti-immigration.
No wonder Reform’s rise has flattened, when many of its people are like that.
Neither Reform nor Restore is “the answer”; it is merely a question as to which can trash the Con/Lab System scam best or quickest.
Real social nationalism must rise up.
Elections are only one way forward, and not the most important.
I've met 2 of the 3 and there's nothing extreme about them. My biggest criticism is they're not extreme enough. https://t.co/Uxqzt6HZYM
Just to add to the chaos I'm now being told by multiple sources from different parties that canvass returns for Makerfield show Restore significantly outperforming the 7% revealed in the Times poll. I suspect that's what's underpinning the current Reform meltdown.
“It is not, for me, a question of “hating” non-whites, but of providing a platform for the evolution of consciousness, for the eventual development of what might be called a “super-race”, in the sense of a people whose capacities would be seen by us, today, as “superhuman”.
Only the European people, speaking ethnically, can provide that platform and foundation for the later development. That is why we must oppose importation of non-whites into Europe, not because we “hate” them as such but because, primarily, their presence in Europe makes more likely a mixed-race population, which would make further evolution impossible.”

At present, we have a very unpleasant heatwave. We suffer, but not forever. It will end, and probably within a few days; after that, it will be just a fading memory. The same is true on the larger scale; in history, in society. There may in the future be terrible events, even mass slaughter, but in the end there may be a better society, and a feeling of peace. Those who survive, and/or their descendants, will live on, and in a way perhaps better and happier than previously.

But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in which their bodies have long decayed.
Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will and courage.
You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass your blood on to your children, for you are a member of the chain of generations that reaches from the past into eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent must do its part so that the chain is never broken.
But if your blood has traits that will make your children unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will lives.”

I had a good salary. But what of all the decent working people – as @joannaccherry pointed out today – who could ill afford the £10 or £20 donations they made to @theSNP ? It’s disgusting, and requires an internal investigation. Or rather an independent investigation. Who was monitoring the spend within the SNP? How come the former volunteer treasurer and former volunteer officials who questioned the finances were slapped down by @NicolaSturgeon and her acolytes? There remain good people at the top of the party ( of which I remain a member BTW) and I hope they will now abandon their misplaced loyalty to the former leader whose position meant she signed off the accounts, as I understand it. Finally…..well done to @WingsScotland for triggering the investigation – pilloried from all sides but vindicated today.“]
I am loving the humiliation of that one-time would-be dictator, Nicola Sturgeon, and her entirely fake SNP Scottish “nationalism” (which, for example, looks upon English people as more alien than Pakistanis, so long as the latter were born in, or even just live in, some Scottish urban wasteland).
Phillips said this in the Begin centre in Jerusalem. It is dedicated to Menachim Begin – the former Israeli PM who led the Irgun terrorist group which bombed we British in the King David Hotel in 1946.
One can see why Restore Britain is being attacked by the Jewish lobby. That lobby (aka Israel lobby) largely scuttled from the sinking ships of Con and Lab, and onto the new fake-national Reform UK, which now has a “Reform Friends of Israel” section, no less, and which looks like forming a government sometime between now and 2030. At least, that was the situation until a week or two ago.
Now, Reform UK is suddenly being exposed, and is faltering, by reason of its pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel lobby position. The “investment” that the Lobby has made looks like it might become worthless, hence the (((outrage))).

[“A very sad announcement.
I have just been convicted a second time for ‘hate speech’ and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge’s frustration.
In an ironic turn of events it’s actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.
Call me naive but I didn’t think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.
In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.
Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
That’s a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.
Even the regime media write: “It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove’s main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration.”
You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.
Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.
The only argument they present is that I created a “hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.
Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.
Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.
If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.
If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.”]

I do not “support” Reform UK (or Restore Britain) as such, but what matters now is that Labour loses at Makerfield, and that cannot happen if the anti-Labour vote is split in any substantial way. I fear that, as things are developing, that may happen, and that Jewish-lobby System puppet Andy Burnham will “blag” his way to an unmerited by-election victory.
Yes, but what if the surrounding state is so hostile that it uses violence or the law (in the sense of fossilized state violence expressed as “lawfare”) against that white-northern-European community? What then?

The NHS needs radical reform, just like much of UK society. Ring-fenced funding from taxation, but also a cull of the bureaucracy and the “woke”/”anti-racist” and other propaganda, and a clear hierarchy.

You're never getting remigration with jews in positions of power if that's what you're thinking, most jews are anti White whether you want to believe it or not.
That first tweeter, “Angloid” seems to believe that if only “nationalists” never “offended” anyone (Jews, blacks/browns/Muslims, “antifa” loonies and cretins, bien-pensant “normies” etc) then the mass of “normal” Brits would inevitably see the light and the “nationalist” side would triumph almost without having to struggle (no doubt at a “free and fair” general election before which the msm would present the “nationalist” case completely fairly on TV and in the Press)…
“They want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“, as Hitler said in the late 1920s.
Well, that tweeter, “Angloid” is apparently 19. When I was 19, I also had some wrongheaded ideas (as well as some correct ones), so I should not wish to be too censorious but, when one is 69, as I now am, such naive thinking has or should have given way to a more realistic outlook, as St. Paul noted.

I am not someone who immediately sees a conspiracy in every situation, but I am inclined to think that both Restore and Reform are “controlled opposition”; however—in the absence of open revolution, or invasion by another state– the existing System parties can only be reduced to unimportance by the rise of a new party, or new parties.
Of course, two parties with (as it might be) 30%-40% of the popular vote split 2 ways are far less powerful a challenge to the System than one party with 30%-40% of that same vote.
Also, yes, that party or those parties may morph into System parties, as I predicted quite long ago would happen to Reform UK, but a Reform triumph (or Restore triumph) would still be far better than a continuation of the old “two/three main parties” scam, because Lab and Con would go, and with them much of the stability of the System.
So Reform have gone from demanding an early election to desperately trying to stop one because they think they’ll lose. And they admit Andy Burnham really is so popular nationally he’ll be able to reverse Reform’s surge and win for Labour. https://t.co/hnhvOFmGgN
I hear what Hodges is saying, but I see no evidence that System puppet Andy Burnham actually has any of the supposed great popularity anyway. Burnham may be more popular than both Starmer-stein and Kemi Badenoch, but that is not so difficult, after all. Also, Burnham has been effectively absent from public exposure (at least, for anyone more than 50 miles out of Manchester), so familiarity has not bred contempt…yet.
It does highlight how poorly the UK is provided with socio-political vision, though, that a mediocre fellow such as Andy Burnham is presented (by the msm and/or System) as some kind of Great White Hope.

As regular readers of the blog will know, I have little time for Reform UK ideologically, but see it as the only game in town in terms of destroying Lab and Con by 2029. To that end, I think that people in this by-election —specifically— should hold their noses and vote Reform.
A split anti-immigration (etc) vote at the Makerfield by-election will just let in fake-Labour Jewish-lobby puppet Andy Burnham, and that would substantially reduce the chance of Labour getting near-wiped out whenever the next GE is held (in or before 2029).
If you can’t speak fluent English, you have no right being a police officer in Great Britain.
Just watched a very short Twitter/X clip of Andy Burnham, and had an immediate and unexpected feeling that, if he wins the Makerfield by-election, and if he then takes over the Labour Party, that…Labour will be finished.
I have no logic behind that; I have to admit as much; it was just a feeling, though undeniable.
[will work it out logically another time].
I suppose the fact is that Labour is washed up whichever careerist clown becomes its leader.

The reason being that: 'it requests action at a local level.'
[“I created a parliamentary petition to stop the HolocaustMemorial and Learning Centre being built in the beautiful British Victoria Tower Gardens—located within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It was rejected.
The reason being that: ‘it requests action at a local level.’ The current status of the memorial: In January, the ‘UK Holocaust Memorial Act 2026’ became law and:
– Disapplied section 8 of the London County Council (Improvements) Act 1900 which legally required the park to be kept strictly as a public garden.
– Formally granted the government the power to use public funds to construct and operate the memorial and underground learning centre (estimated around £147m–£150m).
Important information: The applicant for the project is the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government: Steve Reed. – Steve Reed: • Member of Labour Friends of ‘israel’ (LFI) • 2 funded trips to ‘israel’ • £155,200 from pro-‘israel’ billionaire Lisbet Rausing • £1,800 from pro-‘israel’ jewish billionaire Trevor Chinn.
Reed works closely with the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation (UKHMF) as the expert advisory board appointed by the government to steer the project. The UKHMF is formed from ‘The Prime Minister’s Holocaust Commission’—launched in January 2014 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron.
The UKHMF is led by two Co-Chairs: The Rt Hon Lord Eric Pickles and The Rt Hon Ed Balls. – Eric Pickles: • Current Chairman of the Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ in the House of Lords. – Ed Balls: • Was an active, long-standing member of LFI throughout his time as a Member of Parliament and Shadow Chancellor.
Other members of the board include the following zionist jews: – Chief Rabbi (Genocide) Ephraim Mirvis Incorporates religious zionism into his official leadership role. – Sir Gerald Ronson CBE Major donor to prominent zionist charities. – The Rt Hon the Lord Feldman of Elstree Closely aligned with Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ (CFI). – Sir Lloyd Dorfman CBE Funds major institutional and cultural projects in ‘israel’. – Lord David Alliance Maintains extensive business and philanthropic ties with ‘israeli’ institutions.
Since the ‘government’ is the applicant, the next step is for a designated Minister to make the ‘independent planning decision’. That minister is: Samantha Dixon MBE MP, the Minister for Building Safety, Fire and Democracy.
Dixon can make one of the following decisions: 1. Approval with Conditions: Granting permission but imposing strict requirements (e.g., specific building materials). 2. Refusal: Denying the planning permission entirely, forcing the government to find an alternative site or fundamentally alter the project. 3. Call for a New Public Inquiry: If new evidence or massive public interest demands it, ordering a fresh, formal public inquiry before making a final determination.
What we can do next:
1. I am resubmitting a national petition The first was rejected as a ‘local’ issue. The new petition will demand national action: calling on the Government to halt public funding for the project and order a fresh, independent Public Inquiry. I will post the link as soon as it is live.
2. Object directly to the decision-maker Minister Samantha Dixon is legally required to review public objections before making her planning decision. Anyone can submit an objection: • Where to write: Email the Planning Casework Unit at MHCLG (pcu@communities.gov.uk). • What to say: Focus on valid ‘material planning considerations’ so it cannot be ignored. Cite the loss of Grade II-listed public green space, visual disruption to the UNESCO Westminster World Heritage Site, and crowd security risks next to Parliament.
3. Demand a Public Paper Petition from your MP If you collect physical signatures on a paper petition and hand it to your local MP, they can present it on the floor of the House of Commons. This legally forces the government to issue a formal, written ministerial response to our concerns. Victoria Gardens is one of Europe’s ‘Most Endangered’ heritage sites Spread the word. Protect the gardens.“]
Even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist Jews, oppose the building of this ugly piece of degraded architecture, an expression of Jew-Zionist supremacism, which will look like a cross between a public loo and a subterranean car park, and many also oppose its being built on the Gardens right next to the Palace of Westminster.
The project shouts out “Look! We are here! We rule!We own this country!“
Notice how “they” use non-Jews as figureheads: corrupt politicians and ex-MPs— Pickles. Balls. A few years ago, that corrupt little pissant Robert Jenrick, too.
If a non-jewish British citizen said that the pro-'israel' jewish lobby controls the police, government, media, national agenda, policies, and law—they are doxed, fired, and arrested.
Yet Campaign Against 'Antisemitism' boasts about it openly. And raises £1 million for it.

Exactly.
Also note how, at a time when many, maybe most, real British people are struggling financially, “they” are able to give, whether as individuals or as families, untold thousands of pounds, adding up to half a million pounds, to support the malicious and perjuring “CAA” Jewish sub-terrorists.

Oddly, some may think, I agree with much of that, even though it is obvious that the lady’s “Moderates” fantasy political party does not exist and, even if it did, would get nowhere. I suspect that the only members she has are the bottles or empties in her cellar or kitchen.

Today, I happened to see, from almost exactly a year ago, a blog post dated 24 May 2025, and referring to a Dunkirk commemoration :
“…Ironic. The System politicians and msm recently lined up to mention the possibility that Britain might have been invaded in 1940, yet pretended not to notice a real invasion that is happening right under their noses, and literally under the noses of the spectators of that Dunkirk tribute show.
As to why Britain was never actually under real threat of invasion in 1940, there were numerous reasons. First of all, Hitler wanted to rule much of the world in alliance with the British Empire; he did not want war with Britain; Britain, i.e. Neville Chamberlain’s Cabinet, declared war on Germany in 1939 and, after mid-1940, his successor, Churchill, was unwilling to consider an armistice.
Hitler was weighing what became the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. He did not wan t a two-front war.
Hitler allowed most of the British Army soldiers in the Dunkirk area to escape (my own maternal grandfather one of them). Hitler refused to allow the Luftwaffe and tank columns to destroy that army, the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force or BEF. German ground forces were halted outside Dunkirk by Hitler’s own order (Fuhrerbefehl).
Secondly, the Germans never had enough barge and ship capacity to ferry an army of sufficient size across the Channel.
Thirdly, the Luftwaffe could not guarantee air superiority; neither could the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine much defend any forces ferried across.
Reverting to today’s real invasion, it continues, day after day, and nothing of importance is being done to stop, or even slow, the flow.
If only Britain had been in loose alliance with the Reich. We would have been, today, the rulers of much of the world, and that world would have been a better and happier place by reason of it. The usual evil (((influence))) prevented it from happening. Instead, we sit on our small and beleaguered island, invaded daily by trash from all over the world, we are individually poorer with every passing day and, with every passing day, our society falls apart, more and more.
I wonder how long it will be before there is little that is worthwhile left. At the age of 68, I may not see the ultimate depths of the degradation of Britain, thank God, and I am doing what little I presently can, in my present situation, to avoid the catastrophe, but see around me a society running around like a headless chicken, scarcely aware that it is already, in effect, dead, or at least mortally wounded.
I may, by Grace of God, be able to do more. We shall see. That is a matter of Fate. If the existing society cannot be saved, it may be that seeds can be planted in the rotting corruption, seeds which may germinate at a later time in history.“
The System commends the planned resistance to an invasion that never happened (in 1940), but deplores even verbal resistance to the gradual invasion of our day, invasion by “small boats”, by “legal” influxes, and by births to non-Europeans already in the UK.

Broadly in line with with what I was hearing about Labour's early returns. And also underlines what I've written. The Burnham Effect is real. Any other candidate in this constituency and it would be nailed on for Reform. https://t.co/JPTdr1A2U4
Burnham is just a marginally less compromised version of all the fake-Labour politicos, nothing more, nothing really genuine. As Hodges said, Reform would still win this easily, were it not for the Restore candidature.
What I take away from that poll is that, in that constituency, in 2026, about 47% of the voters are at least conservative-national, even if not social-national. At a guess, though, about 30%-40% of the voters are social-national, and would support a social-national government whether it won elections or simply seized power some other way. Another ~10%, maybe more, would also play ball.
Unfortunately, the usual (((poison))) has already been injected into Reform, and the same, at a lower dosage, into Restore. Neither are the answer to the country’s problems.
It is almost funny. The security organs —the police, MI5, SIS counter-espionage etc— put out huge efforts to catch “Russian agents” in a kind of Cold War “cosplay”, and put out more huge effort trying to identify and catch potential “terrorists”, those who might set off a bomb somewhere or other, or stab people in the street, yet all the time, in the background, the migration-invasion is changing the UK day by day, over time completely, and it is happening via “legal immigration”, illegal “small boat” invasion, and via invasion by births.

[“The jewish Marks, Sieff and Sacher Families (Marks & Spencer Dynasty) were the primary architects of the economic and institutional pro-‘israel’ network in the UK.
After they ousted the son of English co-founder Thomas Spencer from the company, they used their wealth to fund ‘israel’s’ development and the IOF.
They were tightly interwoven through marriage: Israel Sieff and Harry Sacher married the sisters of Simon Marks—son of M&S co-founder and Polish immigrant Michael Marks—Rebecca and Miriam, respectively. Together, they formed the core of the ‘Manchester School of Zionism’ and:
Acted as the primary handlers and aides to Chaim Weizmann, the Russian jew who went on to become ‘israel’s’ first president.
Built the political machinery that lobbied the British War Cabinet, directly resulting in the 1917 Balfour Declaration.
Created a London headquarters at Great Russell Street, noted by historians as the physical ‘heart of the UK’s pro-‘israel’ lobby’.
After the Nakba in 1948, they systematically worked to repair the diplomatic damage left by the jewish terror on Britain during the Palestine Mandate by leveraging the immense economic clout of Marks & Spencer.
Michael Sacher became the primary financial force behind the creation of early political briefing groups. He bankrolled the British ‘israel’ Public Affairs Committee (BIPAC), which directly laid the logistical and structural foundation for what would become the Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ (CFI) in 1974.
M&S built ‘israel’s’ modern textile and agricultural industries through exclusive massive supply contracts with ‘israeli’ firms like Delta Galil. This injected hundreds of millions of vital foreign currency effectively making the British high street a major financial pillar of early ‘israeli’ entity survival.
Former M&S corporate spokespersons have said ‘We have a history and a background with “israel” that we are very proud of’.
M&S executives direct personal connections to ‘israel’:
Simon Marks (Lord Marks) was a close lifelong friend of Chaim Weizmann. During World War I, the British military officially detached Marks to direct Weizmann’s London headquarters, effectively allowing him to run early zionist political operations alongside his growing corporate empire.
In 1948, ‘israel’s’ first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, personally requested Lord Marcus Sieff (the future chairman of M&S) to help defend the new entity. Sieff temporarily joined the IOF, advising the ‘israeli’ Ministry of Defence on logistics, transportation, and supplies. He openly coordinated M&S goods and corporate finances to bolster the colony during its early aggressions on Palestinians and surrounding countries.
In his 1990 book, Management: The Marks and Spencer Way, Sieff explicitly wrote that one of the fundamental corporate objectives of M&S was to ‘aid the economic development of “israel”.’
They used their wealth to build the settler colony and to influence British politicians to forget the massacres of the British troops and civilians by jewish terrorist groups and become pro-‘israel’.“]
Of course, that may not reflect the present position of Marks and Spencer. Blue chip companies of that sort are now often owned, beneficially, more by impersonal capital-blocs such as pension funds.
The RAF should not be “poking the Bear” at all, and certainly not in the Black Sea region, which has nothing at all to do with British interests. Let the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Jew-Zionist regime in Ukraine fight its own war…if it can.

There is only one reason to support Reform UK at all, and that is to ensure that the Lib-Lab-Con rigged political system is trashed by 2029; even though Reform is itself now —as I long-predicted on the blog— well and truly infiltrated and controlled by the Jewish-Zionist element, via Tice, Farage etc.

Case dismissed as the jury “couldn’t reach a verdict”.
It might be said that the police did not acquit themselves well in that incident— on the one hand too brutal (the policeman who kicked a prone detainee in the head), on the other hand completely useless (the women police crying like little girls), but there is surely little doubt that the defendants were guilty. I wonder what was the racial/cultural make-up of the jury (I can guess…).
Incidentally, that Biblical reference (the correct form is Revelation 3:9, not “Revelations” 3:9…) is this:

Given the ridiculous volume of Prime Ministers that Britain’s endured in recent years, I think it should now be law that if a PM quits or is forced out during his/her term, it automatically triggers a new general election. That might concentrate their minds to do a better job.

To get a license to drive a black cab in London, you have to memorize 25,000 streets, 20,000 landmarks, and the fastest route between any two points in a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. It takes most people three to four years.
[“To get a license to drive a black cab in London, you have to memorize 25,000 streets, 20,000 landmarks, and the fastest route between any two points in a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. It takes most people three to four years.
A British neuroscientist asked the obvious question nobody had thought to ask. What does that actually do to a human brain?
Her name was Eleanor Maguire. The study changed neuroscience forever.
The exam is called The Knowledge. It was introduced in 1865, and the format has barely changed since.
Applicants ride a moped around London for years with a clipboard strapped to the handlebars, tracing every possible route between every possible pair of points in the city.
They get tested in person by an examiner who can ask them, on the spot, for the shortest legal route between any two addresses in a database of tens of thousands. Half the people who attempt it fail.
The ones who pass have spent an average of four years studying full time and have taken the test 12 times before getting through.
Maguire was watching a TV movie about it in 1995 when she had the idea. These were not ordinary people. They were people running one of the most extreme spatial memory training programs that exists anywhere on Earth.
If the human brain could be reshaped by experience, this was the cleanest natural experiment anyone was ever going to find.
She put 16 of them in an MRI machine.
Their posterior hippocampi were significantly larger than the brains of matched controls. The longer a driver had been working, the bigger the difference got.
A 40-year veteran had a measurably more developed hippocampus than a 5-year veteran, and both had more than someone who had never driven a cab.
Here is why that finding broke a century of consensus.
Until 2000, every neuroscience textbook in the world taught a version of the same idea. The adult brain is essentially fixed. You are born with a set number of neurons. Childhood is the window where the wiring gets laid down. After puberty, the structure freezes, and the rest of your life is just slow decline.
Maguire’s study was one of the first pieces of human evidence that this was simply wrong. Adult brains physically remodel themselves in response to what you ask them to do. Not metaphorically. Structurally. With grey matter you can measure on a scan.
The skeptics had an obvious objection. Maybe people with bigger hippocampi were just more likely to become taxi drivers in the first place. The brains were not changing. The job was selecting for brains that already looked that way.
So Maguire ran the experiment again. Properly this time.
She recruited 79 trainees who were just starting to study for The Knowledge and 31 controls who were not. She scanned all of them at the start. Then she waited four years. Of the 79 trainees, 39 eventually passed the exam and 20 failed. She scanned them again.
The trainees who passed had grown larger posterior hippocampi over those four years. The trainees who failed had not. The controls who never studied had not. The brain change was not selection. It was construction.
The act of memorizing the city had physically rebuilt the part of the brain responsible for spatial memory, and the rebuild only happened in the people who actually did the work.
There is a quieter finding from this research that almost nobody quotes, and it is the one I cannot stop thinking about.
The drivers had a bigger posterior hippocampus, but they had a smaller anterior hippocampus. The brain had not magically expanded. It had reallocated. Tissue that was being used for one type of memory had been compressed to make room for another.
When Maguire ran follow-up cognitive tests, the cabbies were measurably worse than controls at certain visual memory tasks unrelated to navigation. They had paid for The Knowledge with something else. The trade was real.
She also ran a second control experiment that is the part of the story most people never hear. She scanned London bus drivers. Same hours behind the wheel. Same city. Same traffic. Same stress. The only difference was that bus drivers follow fixed routes. They do not have to navigate. Their hippocampi looked completely normal.
The cab drivers had not grown bigger hippocampi from driving. They had grown them from the constant, active, effortful retrieval of spatial information from memory.
That distinction is the entire study.
Then in 2020, McGill researchers ran the inverse experiment. They tracked 50 regular drivers and measured how often they used GPS. The participants who relied most heavily on turn-by-turn navigation had measurably weaker spatial memory. When the researchers retested a subset of them three years later, the heavier GPS users had declined fastest.
The hippocampus, the same region the cabbies had built up by ignoring shortcuts, was being slowly hollowed out in everyone else by accepting them.
The mechanism Maguire spent 25 years documenting works in both directions. Brains grow what you make them grow. They lose what you stop asking them to do.
The taxi drivers were running the most intense spatial memory training program on Earth. Most of the rest of us are running the opposite program without realizing it.
Maguire died in early 2025. UCL’s tribute described the cabbie study as a stroke of creative genius. She had spent her entire career on a single question. What does it physically take to remember something, and what changes inside a person who remembers a lot of it.
The answer is the part that should change how you live.“]
